It is sort of funny the book is in the ABC style (presumably helping kids at the age they're trying to learn their ABCs) and then talks about things like garbage collection. Sort of disparate. Oh well, some portion of a kids books are for the parent too, and it's really sort of random what kids will take to. It's not like Brown Bear makes any sense. I bought a copy of this for my 15 mo old.
Why would it be a hard fork? Anyone can freely decide not to buy bitcoin from specific addresses without any change to the software running the blockchain nodes.
As someone that used to work in healthcare and left after my company was bought out by a multi-national pharma, if you’re contributing to the American healthcare system you are likely doing extremely evil things everyday if you account for opportunity cost.

Sorry, raise our bar. There’s no way to “do good” in the American healthcare system unless you are attempting to break it down and re-make it.
Pretty much that, I reckon. He’s warned anyone who would listen not to work as hard as he did while at Netscape. But at the same time, he did win the startup lottery, so there’s that.
So many tech people are "on the spectrum" its almost a given. School may be your son's most difficult trial given the propensity to shoo away anyone not 100% school proof to the building on the other side of the field.
What is a scientific (batch) workflow?
Reminds me of the old days of online poker. The regulars would sit around for hours just waiting for an unskilled opponent. They would almost never play each other.

Eventually the whale would leave and the game would instantly break. The ecosystem was so broken but sustained for a long period because so much money was being shovelled in.
Wasn't that tried before and the estimated cost was more than the entire State of California budget?

The chance of that bill ever going anywhere is effectively zero.
They're overcrowded because they are the only health care available for a large number of people.

There's only one way forward which will work, although there are lots of different ways to do it: universal healthcare.
Off-topic question for you. What language do you recommend developers build IPFS-backed apps with? I started building an app in Go (which is your reference language) but Javascript seems to have a lot more APIs available for it.
I think this is a key point - too often, data "scientists" are brought in, given lots of tools, paid lots of money, and then told to just count things. And build dashboards that count things.

The data scientists that I have seen that are successful and bring the most value and seem to have the most satisfaction are those that spend time actually doing analysis and provide deep insights into the problems they are looking in to. The answers are the easy part - asking the right question is the difficult part.
If you have an existing site, then you have a really great advantage (versus building something new): existing site traffic and analytics!

Look at which browsers your users are actually using, and check https://caniuse.com for which versions of which browsers support the new feature. Make a business decision on what percentage of visitors you're okay with getting a page without a nice layout.

If the number of visitors with non-supporting browsers is tiny, then go for it! But make sure at the very least your pages fall back to something where the content is visible and accessible... like make sure it is at least somewhat usable as a single-column list of things.

If the number of visitors with non-supporting browsers is higher than you're willing to lose out on, then still use CSS grid but spend more time on a fallback that looks okay (but doesn't have to be perfect). Perhaps this could be using flexbox (if your users are mostly on kind-of-new-but-not-super-old browsers), otherwise go old-school and use either floats or display:table. (I personally would go with display:table since it's the most grid-like... but depending on your layout it might fall apart under certain circumstances).

Key things to keep in mind are:

1) There are still plenty of people using browsers that don't support CSS Grid. But this may or may not be plenty of YOUR users, so check your actual traffic.

2) You definitely want a fallback of some kind, but the fallback does NOT need to be exactly perfect! "Good enough" is probably good enough.

And hopefully in 3 or 4 years we can forget about a time when CSS didn't actually have any tools intended for page layout :)
Exactly, and "...the 1% took 85% of income growth and the situation has only worsened since. During that time, however, homicide rates showed nearly the opposite pattern". This is dishonest Guardian agenda. Even before getting to that dismissal the article never mentioned the word poverty which is often confused with inequality, probably deliberately by the likes of the Guardian who won't be happy until the UK has re-created the Venezuelan economy.
I don't think technically sophisticated funds are going to be sharing any details at all for pieces like these. There is bound to be fancy ML in play at hedge funds, though - do not underestimate the lengths to which people will go to get an edge in the markets.
I like a couple of the rhymes, perhaps it's just me, but most of them don't scan properly. Mind you I find this is a common complaint for me, perhaps my rhythm is off.

Example: Debugging should have "to figure out just // what has gone wrong".

That said I doubt that's much of a bar to sales.

To me it's a novelty book "A Programming ABC" that people (probably non-programmers) would buy as a gift. The artwork is amazing IMO.

As a teaching resource it seems more like a pile of quirky chapter pages that would preceed in depth descriptions.

I wonder if the pages would work as merchandise, or just framed artwork.
Just FYI, this works on 10.10 (Mavericks).
I don't see any evidence that Bitcoin's being used for money laundering at any decent scale. Bitcoin's not anonymous and it's far easier to launder money using USD.

Bitcoin can't be used for money laundering at large scales compared to USD because it's just not that big.

There are many valid uses for which Bitcoin is better than dollars. Cryptocurrencies are the future for common people because is it better in so many ways. It is money for the internet.
You can flip the argument around:

Credit card chargeback fraud is extremely common. Accepting irreversible payments would be better for these cases as the customer cannot pay, walk out with goods and keep their money. It's much harder for a public company to actively defraud their customers so this is actually more sane.

Also cash has the exact same properties.
I've heard a lot of bad things about Wallace's journalistic ethics - basically misrepresenting the actual story, not the big lines but lots of the details, for stylistic effect. He was not a rigorous searcher of actual truth, just some kind of idealized "emotional truth", and in an era where "alternative facts" is considered an acceptable way to respond to an outright lie, that's not something to emulate. It's been a while so I don't have the exact links to the articles that mention this. (I think some of it was in the biography of Wallace by DT Max.)

Also, that cruise ship essay makes him look like a complete asshole.

It kind of reminds me of that book, The Lifespan of a Fact, about the protracted struggle between "literary journalist" John D'Agata and fact-checker Jim Fingal.

This kind of thing pisses me off, even if it's considered great writing. I've personally been interviewed by a rather well-known journalist (my only interview of my life, I am neither famous nor notable), and in the resulting piece there were questions I was never asked and answers I never gave. Thankfully the false words he put in my mouth were not so bad, but what if it had been something actually important? So this kind of stuff leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm just learning Flask myself - are you using a database for storage? That's my next step. I've done full apps with RoR and this would not be a question at all with RoR, it's already built in, just toying with Python/Flask to learn stuff.
I don't much care for that, but like I said, I do like a welfare safety net, public health service and other public services.

I'm not saying it's all libertarians, but I have interacted with quite a number on the net, over the years, who would scrap those things entirely. I, personally, think inefficient government is a price worth paying for such things, but that we must seek to do better.
I'm not entirely sure you read the article. The article discusses that there are 5 categories of care and that step throat is billed equally as a gun shot wound due to market failure and lack of competition.

I'm not sure anyone is arguing that he should be paying the unit cost without anything going to overhead, but it seems reasonable that strep throat could be treated with antibiotics and be labelled a Category 1.

I had this same situation play out with my daughter where we were concerned with appendicitis and it turned out to be gas. Still was considered a Level 5 even though I protested. Nothing you can do about it. What are you going to do negotiate with the staff at 9pm while your daughter is hurting? What leverage does anyone have in that situation?! You going to risk being a social parriah and risk your family relationships to save money?

This critique underestimates the value of language and concrete diction for learning concepts.

If a child learns the definition of key words, she'll carry the concepts they represent with her forever. Once she know knows "map", "value", and "key", she will own the concepts, Map, Value, and Key.

Definitions give a child the opportunity to learn -- and a parent the opportunity to teach -- valuable concepts that will enrich her world.
You denounce the logical conclusion of the system you claim to support.
Walking desks?

Missed the treadmill desk fad, did we?

In case you really did, yes, that was a thing. Take a treadmill, put a board across the handholds to hold your laptop, start coding.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: You don't need to have heard of "responsible disclosure" to understand that publicly pointing out a bug before it's fixed can lead to people who did not previously know about the bug hearing about it and exploiting it maliciously. That just seems like common sense to me and (I'm willing to bet) many others.
I know. I think it’s funny. I did try to open it from HN again now and it didn’t redirect me.

You yourself have hit on the justification for Bitcoin's use.
I have found it is really easy to create good fallbacks. If your content still makes sense when stacked vertically, you're good to go. (and it should make sense in this format, as screen-readers don't follow your grid)

This of it this way: If your mobile view is also your <IE11 view, you shouldn't have to do much overriding.
I use LaTeX, a document markup language, for my and my wife's resume. (The resumes come out very nice.)

Markdown can be used to output to LaTeX, but I haven't built a build-chain that takes markdown and puts it into my prefered resume style yet.

I'd like to build one, though, but I'm still not sure what type of markdown to use.

If you're a developer applying directly to a hiring manager who is also a developer, and you're going to bypass traditional HR, you might try a resume preformatted as markdown, which seems to be what you thought I meant, but I think that would be a bit nichey - meaning it probably won't work in most situations.
This already exists. One example is luxury brands. A middle class person might infrequently buy something from a luxury clothing boutique as a gift whereas Ivanka Trump might shop for clothes there regularly. I'd wager that the more expensive a good or service is, the more important it is that the business cozy up to the the wealthier customers (the whales).

> I find it really sad you would think people are more concerned with pissing off privacy-conscious citizens than with blocking spammers. What a world you live in :/

Its a false argument whose only real value is admitting "Well, we are unwilling to hire the people with the technical knowledge to be effective at anti-spam without such measures."

> It's not a belief, it's an area I'm interested in, and I've talked to a lot of people about it. I've never found anyone block cloudflare (or disposable emails) because they "hate privacy".

Yup. I must be so high on drugs I'm hallucinating every place I've ever worked at and every hobby project that has allowed UGC. (Hint: Literally all of them involved UGC with attempts to defraud and spam.)

It is a _belief_ that such measures are technically necessary and effective.

I mean, if you really think you are right, it is impossible to do this thing, and I get around to building a site for the sole purpose of proving you wrong...how much would you pay me?
You're right. The Nexus phones that Google used to sell were relatively affordable and secure (like the Nexus 5X). Too bad that's no longer an option.
Seems like a really bad name to me. "Hi, I'm a Drip! Won't you support my work!"

I can't imagine doing that even at my drippiest 17 year old self. I wonder how big of an issue it will be for them. *

I imagine they were thinking DRIP as in stock fund Dividend ReInvestment Program, but that doesn't really apply here. I could toss out a couple of other hypotheses, but, regardless of their reasoning, I just think the name is likely to be a liability.

It's important to distinguish two issues: (1) whether the currency is usable as currency and (2) whether there are forensic clues enabling law enforcement to identify criminals. They're completely separate questions.

The value of a dollar bill is the same whether it was used in a crime. But if it has some ink on it, it might provide evidence that the person holding it robbed a bank. The ink doesn't keep the dollar from being usable.

It has to be this way. Otherwise money simply gets taken out of circulation, and people participating in the economy have to worry about whether money is money.

The #iamroot bug was actually filed mid November with product-security@apple.com according to this weeks ATP - A couple of weeks before it all blew up on Twitter.

I think the cause is more pertinent than the symptom here - Apple don't seem to notice filed bugs unless they blow up on Twitter.
They already do, they are called chargemasters. However, they don't post the negotiated price lists since they have hundreds of contracts and thus hundreds of lists.

Very few people who do DL professionally or as casual hobbyists have the time to sort out ports of various frameworks to work with in-progress compute drivers/toolchain. Most engineers aren't cash strapped, they'll just buy what they need instead of waste time, especially when the field and the tools move so quickly. It's just not important enough when NVidia cards work well out of the box and can be acquired at both the hobbyist low end (GTX 1060) and professional high end (Tesla series), have proven track records, and every DL framework works more-or-less immediately.

They need the patches to be upstream and widely maintained by the developers (and be involved themselves) before people 'at large' will really consider using them. The code is there, but practically doesn't exist for anyone yet, outside of AMD developers and a minuscule amount of AMD users. This is also true of all of Intel's ports of various DL frameworks, too. One thing NVidia has learned is that sticking their engineers directly into the pipeline works -- from everything from game development studios, and now to deep learning frameworks (which have nvidia engineers).

That said, AMD cards do have some excellent advantages like unlocked FP16 that Nvidia does not offer outside of the Tesla series, and bringing card price down would rock. So I'm hopeful that they'll sort all this out and make themselves competitive. I'm hoping to see MIOpen support (and if we want ponies, an upstream ROCm driver) sometime in the next ~year for at least a few frameworks (Caffe2 or PyTorch would be good.) But until then, CUDA, CuDNN and Nvidia technology are really the only name in town for like +90% of people, for better or worse.
Yes, bills are scanned and the system checks to see if they are marked as stolen.
What you describe will be safe when all 20 of those cars are self driving. In the meantime, your trying to get 20 people to agree on what is the correct speed. Not only that, but your trying to get 20 people to hold that speed exactly. Invariably what happens is that a couple cars are going to go a little slower up hill (or whatever) and cause yo-yo'ing in the line, which is what causes actual traffic jams.

The result is the guy in the back is going to be speeding up and slowing down around the speed limit. That is extremely annoying. If you haven't been this guy, I can only assume your always the guy in the front cruising in the fast lane causing 19+ people behind you to get angry and want to kill you.

Basically, travel in the right lane, unless your going to put the effort in and pass the person in the right lane within a reasonable time-frame (say in under a minute). Otherwise your just creating more problems. Wishing that isn't true doesn't make the problem go away, its just creating unsafe conditions for other people, who are frequently just trying to drive as safe as possible too.

It is used as a synonym of "doer" or "builder" but in the software/internet related industries, e.g. this website.
Which is a bit strange since "to hack" doesn't carry good connotations, neither a "hacker" in the original sense.
The real challenge to this is negotiating pinning without it being exploitable by third parties.
The Nuxtjs (and the others) SSR peices are not "an entire extra app you write and maintain", it's a small component, mostly already written by the nuxt team, that does one thing. It allows you to write a leaner, better focused backend.
Developers need to be a part of successful projects. Specific tech is less important unless you want/need to go to work for/with people to whom "modern" means fashionable. Which, to be fair, is a larger portion of the industry than most of us care to admit, but then again, React and Vue basics can be learned on side projects.

(Angular, less so, though these days I do appreciate it when companies are so kind as to list Angular in their job postings; it's a good heuristic for weeding out based on the probability that there's no one with influence at the organization that thinks about the tools they're using carefully.)
Still mostly the original definition, but as tech culture spills into the mainstream more people are coming around to something approaching "someone who codes."
This just is not reality.

It’s funny... Google says this same thing publicly on their various webmaster blogs, but you know how Google Analytics determines your location? Your IP.

I also typed my apple id password to my peer, not into chat, but into another mac in the same room. Mac keyboards can disconnect and connect to wrong devices if used with them once.

That specific setting was: my keyboard was used to setup his mini, mini was turned off and on later. My keyboard, already properly reconnected to my mac at that time, disconnects on timeout (or for whatever reason it does that few times a day). Mini “grabs” my keyboard when it goes back on air. I wake my sleeping mac via trackpad and try to type my password into focused password field. Non-obviously, no characters appear on my screen.

Well, interviewing competent, trustworthy people who provide valuable services to your business takes more time than server provisioning. I haven’t done the math, but I’d estimate I spend 20-25 hours of reading resumes, interviewing, and follow-ups per successful hire. And that’s multiplied by the 6-8 other people involved.

Edit: Elsewhere I read coinbase said they would hire 400 support folks — so 25 hours x7 involved staff, x400=70,000 hours

> Casting a wide net is simply part of the game, of course, but wasting your prospect’s time is bad selling. Every good sales professional knows this, which is why the best ones put in the time, effort and attention to detail to make their pitches – even the opening ones – as tailored and relevant as possible.

The book "High Probability Selling" by
Jacques Werth offers some good solutions to approaching sales with the intent of quickly connecting your product to the customers who want or need it most.
The rise of big tech is basically a market response to decision-makers who acted like you observed. When you've got a bunch of executives who will drop millions of dollars on open-source software because they needed to check a box, that's a huge economic inefficiency waiting to be arbitraged away. What "big tech" founder/CEOs did was say "Well, I understand the technology, I can learn the domain knowledge more easily than these buffoons can learn the technology, how would I build a company from the ground up to compete directly with them and steal all their customers rather than playing the sales game?"

And with a suitably driven, intelligent, and business-savvy founder, it works [1]. The whole "software is eating the world" philosophy is based on the idea that it's better to go radically vertical and bring technology straight to the consumer rather than deal with the inefficiencies of enterprise sales.

[1] Kind of. The key here is "suitably driven, intelligent, and business savvy founder." Most technologists are not such - they not only don't know the domain, they don't care enough about it to learn. So there's been a bit of a pullback to traditional enterprise sales for SaaS businesses in the last couple years; many of the consumer markets that have not yet been revolutionized by big tech have pretty thorny barriers to entry that no technologist has yet found their way around.
Only the first issue can't be solved by throwing more money at it.
