It plays alright without a book, but far from its best. Deepmind say they chose StockFish 8 because it was the TCEC Champion. In the TCEC all engines are given an opening book + endgame tables. Further, since everybody gives chess engines these tools, engine writers usually don't optimize these aspects very much.

It's worth looking at books like Lean Software Development to see better how the concepts of Lean can apply to software. You're correct that TPS, being meant for a manufacturing environment, doesn't directly translate. But if you examine the principles on which it's based it fits very well in software development, maintenance, deployment, and operations.
Disclaimer: I only skimmed the article.

This is pretty cool, but I think the main point of the article is to show an amazing link between number theory and the theory of quantum mechanics, not to suggest a practical quantum algorithm. Although, for certain hardware implementations what they are suggesting might be easier than Shor's algorithm, just because of technical reasons.

Either way, this is not "continuous variable" or "analog" in the sense discussed above. If you are interested about the distinction, you can also check out Adiabatic Quantum Computing, which also seems continuous on first sight, but it is equivalent to the typical model of quantum circuits (the trick being the existence of a "gap" between the ground state which we are adiabatically evolving and all the other states of the system).

I threw a bunch of terminology without defining them, but I would have to leave googling those to you. I would be happy to attempt to answer questions though.
While I wasn't overweight or obese I had definitely gained 10+KG a few years back, and was bordering on overweight (according to BMI, which is just one indicator, not the only one, and again, take it with a grain of salt and in moderation).
For a while I completely stopped drinking alcohol, soft drink, wheat and refined sugar. Basically meat, vegies, fish, whole fruit (not juice). Lost all the extra weight within a few months, and enjoyed great energy.
Being 100% honest, I now find that soda is very sweet, and I now no longer drink alcohol at all. I have re-introduced some wheat and refined sugar, but keep it to a very minimum and try and combine it with other ingredients. (e.g. banana avocado cacao mousse). Never going back to drinking all that soda and buying everything as a sandwich.

Hey HN,

After almost shipping many iOS projects and working on a few for other people I've finally shipped one!

Swatches is a free color picker for the real world using your iPhone camera. It gives you common color formats like RGB and Hex and also matches your Swatch to the nearest Pantone and paint colors. With manual white balance and exposure control you can get actually get a pretty accurate reading. Swatches also lets you make and share Palettes super easily.

Can't wait to hear what you think!
Thank you! Diving deep into wikipedia today. It's very easy to pass the fundamentals when focusing on the end goal.

As someone who has worked tangentially to drug discovery and who has many friends who work as scientists in pharma, I promise you this is outright false. No scientist or even evil business/lawyer person for pharma is out to suppress known cures for disease in order to make a buck.

This entirely leaves aside the notion that diabetes (abbreviating as DM2 for diabetes mellitus type 2) is a solved problem. If you can maintain a low calorie diet or a water fast, then yes you will improve and may not benefit from medication. The number of people who can do that sustainably is rather small, as evidenced by the number of people who get the disease in the first place. It's not like it's a mystery that excess caloric intake and weight gain are the major risk factors for DM2.

It's also not a mystery to the patient, they know they should probably cut back a little, but it turns out that diets are extremely difficult to maintain long term. See:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/01/magazine/tara-parker-pope-...

So for those people who have difficulty maintaining drastic weight loss for whatever reason, I think it's ok to have a pharmaceutical industry that tries to find alternatives. If an individual patient can do without the drugs, that's great too. In the end, lives will be saved with both approaches, they are not in conflict.
I suspect this is almost more of a "marketing" (for lack of a better word) problem than anything else. It's this negative feedback loop where no one thinks non-costal cities are cool, so they don't move there, so they don't become cool, etc, etc.

This is less about the diet and more about the weight loss.

Type 2 diabetes is basically overloading your body so your pancreas doesn't work effectively. Removing those stressors and improving insulin sensitivity allows your body to work normally.

You can achieve similar results from any diet that someone would stick to and lose a similar amount of weight.
What We Learned in 2017
Exactly my point. When you take a 100w bulb and run it for an hour you get 100Wh of energy. If you run a 100W bulb for 1 second then you have 100W/s of energy used.

During your calculations above you use the "terra hashes per second" number- as you said, "14TH/s at 1372W". The device runs at 1372W, and it also calculates hashes at 14TH/s. You can use the same formula you did to calculate the 10Wh for the lightbulb- if you leave the device running for 1h it will consume 1372W/h of electricity (or 1372 Watts * 1 hour).

If you want to convert the W/h unit to W/d you can multiple the "hour" unit by "24" (since there are 24 hours in a day). To convert in the other direction you do the opposite (divide the day by the number of hours in it). Converting from Wh to Watt seconds is similar.

You're not the first person to be confused by this, and wikipedia has a whole section devoted to explaining it[1].

Spinach can help a huge amount in that because it has soo many nutrients.

Here's my fasting plan: 1 Meal/day
100 cals - 1 lb of Spinach
60 cals of tuna (1/2 a small can)
1/2 lb of cauliflower

That total comes out to about 200 cals and meets aboout 100% of 1/2 of all the micronutrients and roughly 50 to 100% of all the other micronutrients. The Tuna (Selenium,b3,b12,b6) nicely complements the Spinach (high in A,C,E,K,Iron, Magnesium). And you get a relatively high amount of protein and fiber (normalized for cals)

Also, you can use something like Crono-meter to measure all your nutrients.

And btw, just because someone is eating 2000+ cals doesn't mean they're getting all their nutrients. Most of the foods people eat are so devoid of any nutrition, they minus well not even count.
Is this the Toyota that put together cars that killed multiple people? The ones that were shown in court to be ASTOUNDINGLY incompetent? The ones whose developers didn't even have access to a bug tracker? The ones who followed only 4 of 90+ automotive industry standard 'required' or 'suggested' practices? The ones who didn't use even basic static analysis tools?

I'll pass, thanks. I know it's all fine for Toyota because the courts ruled essentially "Its computers and nobody knows how they work! We can't convict them of criminal negligence!" and it saves them billions by not hiring experienced people or giving engineers the tools they need or training them or anything like that... but I actually have a conscience and don't mind if I make a little bit less money if it means there won't be the dead bodies that are my responsibility like Toyotas got.
You can't un-delegate TLDs once they've been delegated. That breaks the Internet. The creation of a TLD is thus irreversible, and deleting a TLD would cause a lot more harm than it would prevent.

What you can do is transfer the TLD to a different operator, and/or change its registration policies, though all of the existing domains on the TLD need to remain with their existing owners, as domain names are legally treated as property and cannot be confiscated except through due process (like a court seizure following a ruling on illegal activities).

As the tax plan has not yet been finalized, I'm not sure what the use of this calculator is. You don't really know what your new taxes will be yet. I would wait until it is reconciled and signed to worry about that. YMMV.

If you want to influence the outcome of what is in the tax bill, then finding the thing in it that you don't like the most (and preferably it is in only in one of the bills) and advocating for that to be removed or changed is probably the most useful. Academia was up in arms about losing its special tax break on tuitions (only in House bill), got a bunch of press, and it looks like that might be left out in reconciliation.

Long-time Paw user here. I prefer it over this or Postman, but I agree that there are horses for courses. Paw lets you easily switch between a bunch of different requests, supports many auth schemes, can import the “copy as curl” right from your clipboard, can generate code for many languages (including curl), has a nice JSON viewer as a tree or as highlighted and formatted text, etc etc: https://paw.cloud

I also like the collab features and ability to save the API spec alongside the source code if you wish. They also have some cloud sharing for teams that I haven’t played with.

It was a "Look at me!!!" project by De Icaza, the same guy that would later do Mono and now works for Microsoft, using the Gimp derived GTK toolkit, and using the Qt license as a pretense.

Looking back at it, it is really "funny" how much alike the path of Icaza and Poettering is.
> everyone reaches for shared_ptr way too quickly

I dont't think it's as bad as it sounds, and I have an explanation: C++ has evolved to the point when the ease of coding in it is comparable with that of Java; so, more people use C++ as if it was Java, and shared_ptr is the closest thing to garbage collection that C++ standard library provides.
wxWidgets wins because of native widgets, a handier license, and no moc etc requirements.

I think Qt wins in all other domains though. Documentation, extensiveness and quality of the non-GUI stuff, etc.

But not having native widgets kinda sucks. You can see that when you make that compromise, the question comes why not to use Electron (which is a competitor of those two in reality).

Great to see people find the most important quote in the article.

It is certainly true in Australia:

https://grattan.edu.au/the-number-of-science-graduates-are-g...

Australia includes Psychology in science. Which is fair enough really.

Note also, about 1/4 of University Graduates say they didn't need their degree or are not really using it for their job:

The fact is that Universities world wide try hard to get as many people enrolled as possible and are often supported by governments in this but we already over educate the population.

Getting people to get good skills to get good jobs is much harder than raising the number of people who get not great degrees in subjects where is no employment.

apply is NOT the basis for the other *apply functions, in fact apply it's the exception. There's apply and there's lapply. The rest are variations of lapply.

As for people mistakenly believing that they "know programming" I don't think this has anything to do with R's syntax. R is a programming language but it's also a system for interactive data analysis thus the syntax had to be adapted to that end.

Likely unhelpful question but would you be willing to share how you got to your level of success? If you have a blog or something similar, plenty of folks would love to read about your solopreneur experiences. Perhaps some morning writing would help get the day going?
What you prefer ex ante and ex post is rather different. Ahead of time, you don't know who will be the one claiming wrongdoing of the other, so you'll be willing to agree to binding arbitration. But after the fact, the party possibly in the wrong would prefer to impose the high cost of litigation on the one alleging the wrong.

Another way to state the same thing: very few people enter a contract contemplating that they will be the one breaching it, so they are willing to agree to a system for efficiently adjudicating conflicts. But circumstances change and make breach attractive for a particular party, and at that point they will want to protect their advantage, fairness to the other party be damned.

I think you're justified in having concerns about arbitration, but I don't think the line that you're drawing is the right one. Focusing on the nature of the relationship between the parties might be a more fruitful approach. I don't see any reason why two sophisticated entities, truly engaged in back-and-forth negotiations where each has leverage, should not be allowed to agree to binding arbitration between them for future disputes.

No architecture scales infinitely, you merely shift at each step what the next bottleneck will be. Even with small scale sites you'll see this: first, you need to move from everything on one server to a load balancer plus app servers talking to a single database. Then you need to share your database. Then you need to move to multiple load balancers. Then so on and so forth, depending on the specifics of your service, mixed in with various rounds of local optimization at the application level that buy you just a little more time before having to ship another architectural change.

Most distributed systems don't really scale ass you add nodes beyond a factor of 10 to 100. If they did, you wouldn't need to hire super expensive people to handle those systems.
This. In my experience, they are all over the map -- some are great, some are not useful.

They could argue they're potentially paying a transaction fee when they're paying the creator if you're the only patreon. That's a silly argument though. I'd be happy to pay a single 2.9% of my total pledges + a single 35c fee.

In order to effectively execute such planning and transition from capitalist to communist, it required concentration of power in the federal government - further management was required to maintain equitable distribution of population, labor and resources.

That's why, in the transition period, power would end up concentrated in the hands of a small group of people.

Obviously eventually the idea was that the State would cease to be anything more than a mechanism for distribution of resources and stop managing people, but there are an awful lot of problems with that, conceptually.

Also, the guy I responded to said it didn't have to involve central planning. It kinda does, at least Marx and Engel's version does.

The analogy between napster and bitcoin is interesting. Both are decentralized and "stateless." Ultimately p2p solutions like napster were replaced by Spotify/Apple Music. I think this is because the benefits of a stateless and decentralized solution weren't worth the additional complexity. Not sure if the same will be said of cryptocurrency.
And you will also find that while KDE devs stay without their on sphere for the most part, Gnome devs "dives the stack".

Meaning that you will just as often find them working on something under the Freedesktop banner, but with a massive Gnome slant, as on Gnome proper.

In other words while KDE devs have a clear understanding of where the DE ends and the rest of the OS begins, Gnome devs seems to consider everything above the kernel (and is likely biding their time for the day Torvalds steps down) the domain of Gnome.

Sure, decriminalization of use leaves out all the supply side changes, but it makes it much easier getting or giving help with stopping a drug habit.

But I do not agree with that "same uptick as legalization": when people don't start, they don't start because of fear of getting hooked, not because of fear of getting caught. Legalization comes with a much stronger "if it's not forbidden it can't be that dangerous" subtext than just decriminalization. The only real disadvantage of decriminalization is that you lose the occasional successful withdrawal after a "punishment
or treatment, your choice" deal (happens all the time in a de facto but not de jure decriminalization environment), but since that is only the second best way to start withdrawal, maybe it is not much of a loss since it allows to focus resources on those who want to stop on their own initiative. (But in my experience with addicts, they all kind of wanted to stop and kind of did not, all the time, so there is always a base for external "inspiration" to work with)
I'm disturbed by the fact that many people in SV just say "oh well, nothing we can do" when discussing technology while implying the exact opposite when addressing human nature.
Well, fasts aren't the only solution here. Changing your and adjusting your carb intake in order to offset insulin requirements can gradually get things back on track.

Doing intermittent fasting isn't even that taxing once you adjust. I have been doing it for around 4 years and I work as a developer. My most productive hours are still in the morning, and I don't even eat until noon-1pm on most days.

But to your point, yes, a drastic implementation of a clinical approach can be impractical. Fortunately there're a lot of ways to fix type 2 with diet which aren't as taxing.

So the problem is solved. It's just that most people would rather take insulin than change their diet.

We did think of mufflers, but we didn't have them as we were using a dataset collected by another researcher, who used the same system in a quiet environment, then in a windy 'real world' environment. We used this data for training, testing and validation, but didn't have the equipment or time to make a new dataset :(

But this is probably the most practical solution, the data we have doesn't allow for it however. This could be used in the real world and the system could be more accurate, however in a crowded environment there will be other sounds the microphone will pick up, so some type of noise filter would be needed anyway.
