> Sadly, there is now an entire generation of parents who have been advertised things like the "cry-out" method.

For sleep training? It’s a somewhat rough 2-7 nights when they’re in the 8-12 week age range, or way, way worse later and a ton of bad nights until then. Probably some kids don’t take to it, but that’s true of anything you try. We’re 3-for-3 on it, with the worst taking three nights. A+++++, would not accustom my kids to someone coming in and rescuing them from learning how to chain REM cycles every time they wimper again. Only way I’ve seen it go wrong with ours or with friends’ kids is 1) inconsistency on the part of the parents, or 2) illness getting in the way.
They are, actually. The market is hot again, and banks aren't idiots: they know that people pay their mortgages before other debt, even if they have a foreclosure in their past. Walking away from an underwater loan (which is a rational decision that connotes good decisions in the future) doesn't actually hurt your credit in the same way that getting behind on your credit cards does (which is evidence for poor money management skills).
I can’t “just wait” because this machine (notwithstanding it being a Server) is my main workstation for doing financial modelling on.

You’ve just solved a mystery for me: at one point I was struggling (and failing) to get Time Machine to restore from my Synology NAS. Now you’ve explained why!
If it’s something that always
must be done exactly right, then it should be automated. Computers are good at that type of thing.
Thank you for taking the time to come and write a reply, it is greatly appreciated.
I’d love to know more about the machine they ended up prototyping, and the other teams prototypes. It all sounds super interesting!
I'm sure people have done studies. Who donates more money? The poor kids who struggled through life and attended Stanfurd that finallyed opened the doors for him to become rich? Or the blue blood with the silver spoon who would have made it through daddy's connections regardless of which school he went to?

I feel the former has stronger gratitude for his school.
Yet another approach which I have used in Fur (https://github.com/kerkeslager/fur) is to compile to a low(er)-level programming language (in the case of Fur, I'm compiling to C).

These approaches aren't just for toy languages. Java/C#/Python standard implementations compile to byte code that runs on virtual machines. Glasgow Haskell Compiler compiles to C--, and a bunch of languages compile to JavaScript.
I have no idea why this is not a huge grab-your-pitchforks thing in California.
An entirely gesture based UI, where even going back to the home screen or switching apps requires gestures, rather than pressing a virtual or physical button. It's the only phone out of all the new "almost-bezel-free" crop that actually makes an effort to get rid of useless UI chrome so that the entire screen is about the content and what you can do with it. And those gestures are particularly well thought. Where the competition like the Samsung Galaxy series removed physical buttons but merely replaced them with virtual ones, you can see Apple going forward, not just mimicking the past, whenever there's a technological progress, like the ability to produce almost bezel-free phones.

Making the bet that people are ready to pay a lot more just for the sake of having something that feels nicer to use is also what makes the iPhone X a bold step, although some of the techs existed in different forms in the previous iPhones. Yes, I'm using the word 'feels' here, it's about things like FaceID, 3D Touch, Taptic Engine and all the other things that make the iPhone X experience radically different to using something like the android competition. They actually had to completely redevelop 3D Touch for the iPhone X, the old 3D Touch technology depended on the LCD backlights which aren't a thing with OLED.

They're things that don't dramatically improve productivity and they're not things that can be considered major features like having a better camera (like the Google Pixel 2 marketing). They're things whose sole purpose of existence is to make interacting with the device feel nicer. It's something that does not exist in android land.

It's that sort of thing that makes me keep using Apple's laptops too, despite the many things I do not like about them (like the all USB-C ports). The Taptic Engine + Force Touch, oversized trackpad makes doing things like dragging something across the screen with only one finger feel so much better than what you have to do with other trackpads which require either pressing the trackpad itself on the bottom area or pressing a button. I'm still amazed they managed to make vibrations feel like you clicked a physical button.
Apple should just make two laptops: Macbook and Macbook Pro.

Convert the current Macbook Air into a 13" Macbook that is more in line with the Air's price. The Pro should be a pro machine. Plenty of ports and no touch bar non sence, but keep the Touch ID sensor.
The theoretical advantage of representative democracy is that the average voter doesn't have the time or knowledge to make decisions on the vast majority of issues, while an elected representative can spend 100% of their time ensuring they make the decision that benefits their constituents.

That, plus it's actually _really_ hard to write a law.

I agree that representative democracies as we see them implemented have serious issues but I don't think it's viable to replace it with direct democracy, digital or not. Imagine if America was a direct democracy, the country would be a flaming wreck by now.

Nah that's amazing! Congrats
Also considering it's Berkeley, I'd wager many of those same people sanctimoniously decried urban sprawl, favored high density, walkable, sustainable development... but when it was going to happen next door they were as NIMBY as anyone else.
As someone in the bay area in a SFH, I can tell you that in my neighborhood that is incorrect. People are incredibly aware of zoning, it isn't obscure, and people obsess over it in the neighborhood groups and lists.
You seem to be rather confused about the Bell Curve.

It's my understanding that the main data presented hasn't been overturned or disproved (In-fact quite the opposite)
For various options pertaining to the software that runs on it, that’s not an option... it’s a Mac Mini Server but it’s actually my main workstation.

I do have Linux and DragonFlyBSD machines as ’real’ servers, the former being a Mathematica grid for my numerical heavy lifting.
what's the point of forcing the president to accept a grievance if it's not possible for him to respond?
Need-blind policies only stop universities from not admitting you based on need but does not stop their need-based "formula" from being corrupt, as seen here.
If you have little experience with backend development, Django may help you by forcing you to code into a predictable and sensible structure; Flask won't limit you in any way, which is great but It's easier to shoot yourself in the foot and its harder to keep a consistent codebase.

If you're familiar with SQL, it may take some time to adapt to the Django ORM, which is really great but favors ease of use over power.

All in all, with Django you'll fight to override defaults and with Flask to enforce them.
I loved both enemies
> Django only has one paid full-time maintainer to my knowledge

It indeed does, but I don't agree that it is too limiting in that respect. A lot of Tim's time is spent curating, reviewing and merging PR's contributed by the community. It's far, far from a one-man band.

Not sure if that was what you are implying, but that's how I read it.
This is an issue already dealt with at length in existing case law, and is largely unrelated to the case at hand because @realdonaldtrump is not a place for announcing community events or road closures, and the censorship applied there is not viewpoint-neutral.

Relevant quote from the article: The president has admitted in the lawsuit that he blocked them because he objected to the viewpoints they expressed in replying to his tweets or in their own tweets.

The reason EFF describes that as an "admission", is because it makes the question you raise irrelevant.
No, not money, votes. They money (developers, businesses) have more money, and want more development.
Yeah, I agree that's a problem too. The problem seems to come from when women entered the work force, society neglected to take a roughly equal amount of men from the work force. This resulted in a surplus of labor and therefore diminished costs of labor, and therefore families needed to have two people working, and now they don't have the time and resources for children.

I'm a believer in the idea that we should be using productivity to ease the obligations of labor. Ideally we could get back to one person per household working, or even better, both parents doing part time work (though I believe this plan requires socialized medicine). This would give plenty of time for child raising and wage earning, and distribute the burdens evenly among parents.

In recent years women have faced a declining happiness according to self reported results. We also have dwindling populations in the developed world and exploding populations in the under developed world where ideally that would be reversed and we could send the developing world doctors, engineers, teachers, etc. I see these problems as connected by the fact that women are structurally limited by society from pursuing their biological drive towards children whereas men, who don't face declining happiness, live in a society that encourages their biological drive (sex).
True. And the cross-macOS/iOS app ecology is just too compelling. I’m captive.
Pan Docs: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About GAMEBOY
The main benefit to the speed will be realized when they scale the build area of the machine. As I suspect they realized it is difficult to get past the physics of the plastic cooling without causing other issues (delamination, warping, etc). The gain will be largely noticed when they are printing with this extruder using a build area larger than 1m cubed. The issue on large printers is being able to get the newly deposited material down while the previous layer has not cooled too much (delamination), although, this can be can be partially controlled with things like heated build chambers and such...they are patented.

This idea was tossed around in #reprap for a few years (I know I have heard the idea thrown out there) and I am glad to see someone working on it. Although, I disagree that a screw drive is needed. I use hobbed gearwheel drive on my extruders and rarely is the issue the hobb slipping. Typically, it is the motor stalling instead. This isn't so much a product of the drive wheel/extruder as it is the hotend not being able to keep up with the commanded extrude volume...since this hotend doesn't have that issue (or so it seems) I suspect the conventional extruder could be used with just a modification to hotend/heater design.

Once the commercial 3d printing market moves up to things like servos, encoder feedback, etc. I suspect the speeds of things will start ramping up greatly. The issue isn't so much the tech but the cost...people are cheap.

edit: After reading the linked arxiv page. I see they are using closed loop servo motors/drivers and a RAMBO controller. They could go faster if they used a 32 bit controller like a smoothieboard or duet instead of the 8bit "arduino based" controllers. {Not saying RAMBO is a bad board, they are known to be very reliable for OEMs}

Not to mention that Smoothieware has the control modules for lasers and cnc built in as well as the 3d printer so it requires probably no firmware modification to get this running...just config and maybe a custom bin. (Disclaimer: I work directly with the Smoothie project so I may be biased)
Loved Austin when I lived there. I went back earlier this year and it just wasn't the same. The hypergrowth over the past few years has turned moderately annoying traffic into a driving nightmare, which compounds everything because Texas is very car-centric.
Just like the majority of people do not want this latest tax reform to pass? Right, let me know how a voting majority works out for you.
Nope that's still a limitation and a tricky one to solve, and I agree it's really really annoying.

I added support for filtered aggregates[1] in this release, if you're annotating multiple counts this might be useful for you.

You check the order book of the exchange, in this case gdax
You get a worse bond if it's too cold. as the plastic cools it warps and can crack along the interface between layers. Plastics like abs usually require a heated print bed as well.

I think the ideal solution would allow the entire piece to stay at a elevated temp somewhere between ambient and melting, but blow cool air over the freshly extruded plastic to quickly bring the temp down from the melting point
Why shouldn't Berkeley make rules for Berkeley? They are the stakeholders. If a majority of Berkeley wanted density, but Sacramento said no, that would be weird. Whose interests are being upheld when the representatives of Chino, and Long Beach are determining Berkeley's zoning?
I think the main point of the quote is that nobody knows everything. There are pockets of knowledge, and there are specialists who know quite a bit about Linux. ;) You just need to find that person and not expect them to also know about something completely different like Windows or Asian-Pacific geopolitics.
If that's the case, why are we surprised that execs are lying? Or shall I say "creatively refining terms"? They start by going to schools that lie, teach how to lie and get away with it.

In some ideal world alums of that school would immediately turn around and tell the school "You will not get a penny until you terminate everyone who participated in approving and carrying out this program for lying and do so publicly" but instead what we are going to get is more pieces about "how the school needs to get better".

are you a little shaky on how metaphors are employed or the difference between figurative and literal speech?
I don’t live on the west coast, but I know that housing is ridiculously expensive and nobody wants to build housing. Atleast in the San Francisco area. Anyways, crazy idea. Why not build a parking garage with a few amenities to cater to these van dwellers. I’m sure there are permitting issue, but it might be easier.
The estimates of how many people have cheated on their spouses at some point vary betwen 15% and 70%. Many couples are going through conflicts, broken relationships and divorce.

So yes I'm afraid these things are a normal, if undesirable, part of life. And then there are all the other groups I mentioned (flatmates, coworkers, parents, cleaners).

Among the millions of Mac users, there will be many who don't want those around them to sift through their emails, browser history, bank account statements, etc.
I think also.. not dying. In the past it was common for people to have multiple marriages but with no divorce, I wonder what the stats say about median duration over time?
We use Django for large single page GIS web apps that still always need some CRUD somewhere (e.g. configuration is done through the Django admin). Parts that Django doesn't do can still be done in Python.
No, because human civilization doesn't depend on that growth. A stable population works fine.

Whereas, the whole "enrich myself off property values" thing only works if those values are continually increasing.
I ask this honestly, I'm really looking for an answer: What is America's culture?

I look at say Japan and they've got all this history, art, literature, customs, even essentially their own religion. Their culture is very distinct.

I look at Russia, Austria, England, France, most of the rest of Europe and Asia and see the same thing. They have their own art, history, customs and behaviours that are quite distinct from one another.

But I don't see America's culture. I suspect the problem is that American culture has been exported throughout the western world so much that it's hard to tell it apart but I'm not sure.
Another thing to feel good about:

The way the end of the US Civil War went down was remarkably enlightened and created a new template for putting conflicts to rest which is likely partly responsible for the fact that WW2 has not (yet?) fostered a WW3.

Historically, people who surrendered paid war reparations to the winning side and it was generally pretty ugly. This is part of why General Lee was very reluctant to surrender. It was considered to be a fate worse than death.

But there were only three conditions of his surrender at Appomattox. One of them was that the North would come in and help them rebuild. This was an unprecedented break with human history.

It is rare for a nation to only have a single civil war. Typically, the end of one plants the bitter seeds of the next. Rinse and repeat. It is remarkable the US has only seen one.

The end of WW1 also planted the bitter seeds of WW2. When WW2 ended, the US went in to both Germany and Japan and helped them rebuild. The world also created a number of institutions aimed at preventing another global conflict.

These are mostly financial organizations, like The World Bank. It was widely recognized that the global depression was a major root cause of WW2. Some world leaders vowed "Never again" and did what they could to make that vow a commitment the world could bank on.

Edit: FWIW, I was born and raised in Georgia, though daddy was a Hoosier and mom is a German immigrant, so no one ever saw me as "Southern" until I moved to the West Coast.
If you want to advertise a program with strong employment opportunities for your graduates, you will accept more students who will get high paying jobs. This is part of the reason that more people with finance backgrounds are accepted.
They sure are! Another great open source synth that is currently tearing up a storm in the music-making world is VCV Rack:

https://vcvrack.com

This app allows one to create - quite reliably - a modular synth system of your dreams, with many emulations of existing hardware modules being produced by the designers of those modules, themselves!

And .. there are more modules released every day. So many modules its hard to keep track of, actually.

So, if you're a synth nerd, get a look at VCV Rack .. seriously with this and Helm, not really much point in running other soft synths, at this point! :)
In fairness that’s basically what FB/Google pays new grad SWEs with competing offers.

Promising.
Yeah this is what I'm wondering too.
Why is that weird? We have state and federal level laws for all kinds of things. A city's zoning laws don't just affect it, as the insane housing prices in the bay area will attest to.

We tried letting cities decide on their own, the results have been atrocious. That's why recently the state legislature recently passed a bunch more laws to compel cities to allow more housing. If you want affordable rents, the status quo is clearly broken.

It checksums metadata [1]: http://dtrace.org/blogs/ahl/2016/06/19/apfs-part5/

From the same article: the engineers contend that Apple devices basically don’t return bogus data. NAND uses extra data, e.g. 128 bytes per 4KB page, so that errors can be corrected and detected. (For reference, ZFS uses a fixed size 32 byte checksum for blocks ranging from 512 bytes to megabytes. That’s small by comparison, but bear in mind that the SSD’s ECC is required for the expected analog variances within the media.)
This happened with my app trail camera on my phone as well... Didnt realize others experienced the same thing.

Its curious that both of us worked on the apps receiving the phantom update
Lmao you aren’t hurting. You have options to choose from. There a people who have no option. Who’s job doesn’t allow them to move and pick where to live. Take the silver spoon out of your mouth and realize as “bad” as you have it making more than 100k... THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHERS WORSE OFF THAN YOU!!!
That's my point, current residents should make the law. If you want to change it, convince them, or move in and vote yourself. Renters can vote too. Non residents shouldn't get to dictate to residents how to run their cities. RE: Cupertino, I agree. It is unfair for cities to add workers without housing. It would be fair to demand cities match new housing with new office space. But given that cities should be able to opt out of building anything.
> How will the new 2018 tax plan help/hurt you?

Just want to point out that this question is not quite the same as, "How will the new 2018 tax plan affect the amount of tax you are required to pay?"

Even if the tax plan positively or negatively affects the tax you are required to pay, you will probably be helped or hurt significantly more by its affect on your community than you will by its affect on your own taxes.
"Blocking someone from contracting you on social media isn't really a freedom of speech issue - so long as an alternatives means exists"

Kicking someone out of a town hall meeting is not a free speech issue, so long as alternative means exist. Kicking someone out of a public square is not a free speech issue, so long as alternative means exist.

The only difference in the Twitter case is that Twitter as a private company can freely exclude whomever it wants. The point is that a public official cannot direct Twitter to do so, which should include directing Twitter to block a particular user.

I get that it's the customer's responsibility to correctly configure their services, but what does it say about the UX of AWS services that they're so easy to misconfigure with disastrous consequences? And despite this happening across a variety of industries, Amazon doesn't seem super concerned about it either, but I could be wrong here.

There's just no excuse for this to keep happening, but the processes meant to prevent this are clearly failing.
Btw you realize this all started because you didn’t understand my comment and decide to be a troll about it.
Does Facebook use Python 3 for Facebook frontend website? Or in PHP/Hack? (Facebook website frontend is well known to be in PHP/Hack)
Wait until the 2018 election before you make that judgement.
Yeah...overall your hotend is still limited volumetrically...so overall for volume extruded you are still printing at the same rate.

I feel big nozzles printing wide traces have other benefits like overall strength and such (less welds is my guess) and thicker walls per number of perimeters (again...less welds).

In my shop I keep a .7mm authentic jhead for when I want to use a larger nozzle.
Yes, I'm using F-strings exclusively for new (Py3.6-based) projects, and type hinting quite extensively (also for old projects still based on Python 2.7 - using the '# type: ...' workaround).
ASK HN: Would you like to be interviewed for Made with React Native?
Hey guys. I just launched madewithreactnative.com . It's a site where I want to showcase apps which were made using react native and interview developers and teams about their experience working with react native. Would anyone be interested or know someone who might be interested in being interviewed and and having their app(s) listed on the site?
