I was aware of that when making the comment. I still find it surprising, though. The statistics are just much higher than I expected, even for Detroit.
For branching / administration you're probably right. Typically though, subversion workflows would involve administrators doing most of the heavy lifting of branching / merging and everyone else working against those - for those users Subversion was absolutely easier.
If the title were really 80% of the work, that doesn't say much for the content. And other things in the post around focusing on frequency etc. set off my alarms. That said, if you dismiss the importance of headlines and use vapid boring ones, you're probably not getting the [EDIT: readership} you could.
Based on what I read after I saw the protein folding suggestion, the idea is that with a Sufficiently Advanced quantum computer, you could use fully quantum calculations for small molecules and proteins alike. I'm puzzled about fluid dynamics too, though.

It’s a lot of paperwork to avoid a perfectly safe and normal git command.
But this is written in Go!
The title is what readers see first. If content and title don’t match then yes it’s trash. But that doesn’t mean that having a good title isn’t important.
It does answer your question - what you're misundestanding is that "distributing money throughout the economy" is fiscal policy, not monetary policy.
That's what the OP meant by "fiscal policy is necessary" and "the government dropped the ball on fiscal policy". The Federal Reserve, as a body, and monetary policy in general by extension, does not posses the tools to enact fiscal policies.

EDIT: oops didn't see OP already clarified.
Square also has an offline mode. I guess you could take photos of IDs with your phone's camera too.
Buildkite (https://buildkite.com/) is so underrated and really nice! Much simpler interface than most other providers like Circle CI or TeamCity and works really well.
Not necessarily

Titles can be written to be intriguing without being sensational or misrepresenting the content.

Also I think there is some implication that "clickbait" articles are either uselessly short, rehashed or outright stolen and exist purely for the ad impressions.

That said, I think some of Andrew Chen's titles are right on that knife's edge of sounding like stereotypical clickbait, despite his articles being too well thought out to be truly in that category.
Hacker News is successful because it is still yet relatively small. It will not scale.

>We would have no realistic way of intercepting it to learn more about it.

Currently.
Intercepting it and returning it from wherever it is 100 years from now could theoretically be easier than intercepting it from when it passed by in the present.

Or if not perhaps in 1,000 years retrieving it and studying it will be trivial; if it's still that interesting by then.
Somewhat relevant is a question I asked here several months ago. There were 181 comments, so there's enough to be able to extract some knowledge from them.

Jenkins setups invariably accrue a bouillabaisse of plugins and stews in a "just so" environmental soup, that simply moves the "works on my machine" syndrome to "works on our Jenkins (please, please don't break or we'll be down for a week reverse engineering this Ubuntu/RHEL snowflake from 2012)".
You can do both: set up a custom domain on Medium and keep the URLs _and_ get the network effect.
A lot of the smaller blogs and personal sites I follow use CSS and Javascript in quite unique ways that give them the freedom to express themselves. I think this is a huge use case that your view misses out on in a people-centric web.

I agree that articles would be a lot easier to read if everyone followed a consistent style. And sure the internet would be a safer and faster place without javascript. But you can't just throw it all out the window.

It sounds like what you want is some sort of simple web, with nothing more than HTML and some decent default styling. Wouldn't a web based on markdown or latex be awesome?
It's not about people trying to hide anything. Or about one particular country. You can't shame or guilt trip people into doing the right thing. It never works.
You can either pay them or reprogramming their minds. And both those routes are hard and takes generations of sustained work.
If only places like HN listened to us conspiracy theorists. I'm sure people will use this to talk about how illogical we are or how Hanlons razor is their favorite thing (a logical fallacy on its face), but in the end the red pill is a choice. Now the main problem too many take the red pill but don't have the rational/logical training to approach such deep subjects correctly, and therefor many have given up one half-truth or lie for another. Not to mention active forum tactics are frequently used against conspiracy forums and websites, for example the flat earth movement is a known grass-man used to discredit conspiracy theories in general.

The reality of history is that it is filled with page upon page of conspiracy, and IMHO the conspiratorial view of the world is the correct one. Of course that doesn't mean every presented hypothesis is true either, each case must be weighed with the evidence.

That said, the number one issue otherwise intelligent people have with conspiracy theory is the inability to use the inductive logical approach instead of the deductive one. When we don't have evidence due to coverup, etc, inductive logic is the only tool left in many cases. In most of the well thought out criticisms I see its generally due to the fact that so many expect and want the deductive approach and don't even know there is another.

So to answer your main question, people don't listen to conspiracy theorists because: many conspiracy theorists have week rational skills and adopt views without proper scrutiny, various government and corporate shills actively monitor and attack conspiracy forums, and due to the tribal mentality of desiring superiority, and other factors, people dismiss conspiracy because they have been trained to do so.

Of course there is a lot of plain crazy talk in these types of forums, but oh the diamonds in the rough that can be found.

That's just the meta discussion.
Surprised at how poorly written this is. Typos all over. I would hope that someone who considers himself a writer would take care to write well.

That's funny because I would list tup's syntax as a negative for an otherwise very useful tool.

Also, Tup is much more single-purpose than Make or (from a quick readthrough) Cr. It is very strongly focused on the "N files in, 1 file out" for compilation, and specializes at that to the point of not doing other things.

As far as a minimal "better make" I find redo to be the best. Make is a weird combination of the shell and makefile languages, but redo boils it down to just a single language and manages to handle dependency of build rules in an elegant manner.

Well? So what? And you very obviously speak from a libertarian point of view- but that doesn't mean that your comment must automatically be dismissed as worthless by those who have different political affiliations.

What's important is what someone is saying, not who is saying it, or how similar it is to something someone else has said. I'm pretty sure we should not have to point this out, anymore.

Catching the runtime of a function that's executed very infrequently for example and has execution time extremely dependent on the context. (Which makes an isolated reproducer hard to achieve)

Or finding out about a tiny function which is called thousands of times and adds up over time, but each execution is so fast you rarely ever see it on a sample profile.
When I see such libraries, I would like to quickly understand if I am a potential user.

Instead of telling me the lib is great, things like the ones below are more useful:

You use moment.js? Mylib.js has better support for time parsing. Example :...

You use vuejs? Mylib.js does not require blah and the binding uses standard foo to do bar. Example :...

Etc. The author knows what others are using so pointing out how his lib is better (or positively different) compared to the others would actually be helpful
At work I have 3 monitors (24" 1080p) for multitasking (one for comms - email, slack, jabber etc. and music, one for code and one for browser - docs and stuff).

At home, I have 2 monitors (27" 1080p) - one for code and another for browser. I've been considering replacing these 2 with a 34" curved monitor for a while (however, I don't see the expense justified right now).

> 1: Quality of service is generally not dictated by the back bone network.

If by that you mean that it is not the only thing that matters, then yes. But if the backbone is bottlenecked then of course quality will suffer.

> 2: Government tend to grant permission and funding to the first ISP that want to dig into government land to plant cables, but then deny completion afterwards and allow natural monopolies of those that were first.

Is that actually the case?
Getting a dedicated line between any two buildings tends to be no problem, so why would doing the same on a larger scale be a problem all of a sudden?

> 3: Low barrier to entry could allow for many ISP.

That's only really possible if the last mile can be leased from either the municipal or some other company (sort of like the government maintained track system).
Otherwise the barrier is exactly this last mile, which is the most expensive part of the whole thing (which is also why a lot of small rural ISPs use wireless as last mile access instead of wired connections).
Having a choice is always better. You are not required to accept crypto currencies.
I agree that this is a worthy area of inquiry. If you're interested in data, I highly encourage this type of research - and the data is probably out there to do this.

I do data analysis on news coverage, and there's data to show that we have a predilection to hear about the West (even compared to other geographically close regions):

https://www.nemil.com/s/part2-terrorism.html

As you point out, hard to determine how much of this predilection is due to economic similarity or geography versus cultural/racial/religious.

Beyond that, my gut is that we can actually derive empathy scores across countries or races based on data like this.

That sounds like misreading the point on purpose.

I myself write fairly long and well-researched essays but I also spend quite a long time to figure out what the title should be. That doesn't take anything away from the time and effort I put in.

The more famous you are, the more cryptic you can be but to most it's just a fact of life that you need to spend time making your content easily shareable.
The importance of this cannot be overstated. For a long time, cash tipping functioned as a tax dodge for a sizable number of people. In theory, anyone who receives tips is obligated to track and report them. In practice, it's very easy to dramatically under-report and the odds of an audit are minimal.

What cashless tipping does here is take away the ease of under-reporting.
While I can't speak as much to the case in article, my problem is due to IP restrictions. Though companies buying the rights to daranide sounds an awful lot like IP too.

The point of running your own blog is control and avoiding negative network effects (e.g. because people think "Medium is for cheap self-promotion", "Myspace is so old-fashioned", "$X is full of $personsIDon'tLike"), loss of content (due to the platform going down, changing it's policies), ...

If you want to do this long-term, get your own domain and distribute your content elsewhere if needed. E.g. on medium you can post articles from your blog and it links back at the bottom if you think Medium is important for your audience, announce posts on Twitter, Facebook, have RSS feeds, ...: bring the information where the users are, but have the central source of it under your control. Pointing the domain at a service is fine, it enables you to move if there are issues.
Running your own blog is super easy, and choosing where to post does not have to be an either/or proposition. Post to your own site, then cross-post to popular platforms if you need their network effect. See here for a fuller explanation: https://indieweb.org/POSSE

My company's entire business revolves around embedding tracking and analytics JS on our page and serving it to people and all of those plugins combined are still dwarfed by something like React or Angular by a factor of 2x.

The problem ends up being when you're embedding this stuff and the provider has their own dependencies they're loading. Hubspot's embedded web forms pulls in an entire React framework. Mess.

If you're serious about doing this stuff, you include the bare minimum JS possible (GA/GTM, usually), store GUIDs in your request logs and put that into your analytics data pipeline.

And keep telling the Google rep to take a hike when they put pressure on you to use AMP.
Two excellent questions.

Regarding claims of factoring small numbers: First note that error correction becomes exponentially more important for longer computations. Second, see this

https://arxiv.org/abs/1301.7007

Regarding building a tower of ever less noisy qubits: it turns out there is something called a threshold theorem which requires a certain minimal level of noise before concatenating error correction schemes makes things better rather than worse.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_threshold_theorem

Reaching this threshold for physical qubits in the laboratory is perhaps the primary goal of experimental quantum computing.

No, you can ask the cashier for cash back however you like and normally they will comply if they have enough in their drawer. Also, I got $100 at safeway in the self checkout and the machine gave me twenty $5 bills. It was hilarious. I felt like I had hit the jackpot.

Tarnovsky wasn't the only key. There was also a single minded team of former intelligence investigators spread around the world coercing and infiltrating, on top of a smartcard dev team packed with most of moscows mathematics prize winners, in addition to another red team in haifa with their own tarnovsky's. I speak from first hand knowledge because in my younger and more naive years I used to worked with them.

Still, the analogy applies because the stakes with a cryptocurrency that depends on transistor security become a much more interesting target then the, now boring++, paytv market. It should not be assumed that any secrets will stay inside of that secure enclave, at all.

Hey long time /r/conspiracy user here, and there are indeed some "Russian bots", but the real bots got started around 2011 ish when the gov started putting out bids in sock puppetry as a service aka persona management, so I'd say there is about an even distribution of bots between all the actors at play, be they Russian, TD, share blue, etc.
Yep - this is what I’ve done. Though I probably need to invest more in the actual blogging.
I think it’s more likely that the iPod Touch remains because it’s a great device to let kids abuse in place of your expensive phone. The market for dedicated audio players can’t be what it once was and audiophiles have other options.

The Sansa line at one point had (or still has) the same audio chip as the iPod (Classic), is cheaper, and is super well reviewed. I think people interested in dedicated players have moved onto that.

As for your theory, the iPod Touch doesn’t work with the Apple Watch. No GPS/Cellular/etc makes it mostly useless as a parent device for the non-LTE watches and the LTE watch has better connectivity. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/177304/can-you-use...
> Apple discontinued all of their iPods except the one that looks like an iPhone because they want everyone to buy their expensive watch instead.

Or perhaps because no one was buying the iPods?

Most oh shit git moments are a result of "advanced" git users trying to force people who just want to get shit done to "keep the history clean" with rebases. If you stick with git push, pull, and merge you really can't lose work. And any "advanced" git user knows the right git log incantation to filter out merge commits and such to make the history look clean.
I'm fairly utilitarian about cooking and I see where OP is coming from... After working a full day I don't want to take more time to cook and clean. I want to relax or do something fun, and cooking isn't that for me. Being able to make a meal that lasts 2ish days is pretty excellent way of not having to spend time on cooking while still getting a good (if repetitive) set of meals.

On the other hand my wife enjoys cooking so she'll end up doing most of that and it's my job to clean up afterwards. Time-wise it works out to about what it would take for me to make something simple. When she leaves town for a few days I go back to my utilitarian ways.
This is so wrong. :) With git you exactly do not have to backup your local workspace, because it already is backed up in git.

If it is committed, it is safe. You can go back to it. If you messed up your branch, just reset it to something that was good. No need to do manual backups.

I'm not sure why consistency with city demographics should matter. Shouldn't it be aligned with the racial demographics of the typical victim?

In Chicago, for instance, 75% of homicide victims are black despite only representing 32% of the population. If a discrepancy that large can exist in homicide data, I'm sure a similar one can be seen for rape in Detroit.

The actual hash computation should be mechanical. It's a straight algorithm.

The part you want to optimize is the selection of the random noise you need to make the hash come out with the appropriate number of zeros. You ask your test subjects (monkey, human, slime mold, whatever) to provide the noise, you test it with your mechanical hasher, and then either reward or punish them based on the number zeros in the hash.

It's hard to argue marketing to giant health care systems is difficult when you go up against corporations like Epic, Cerner, or Athena Health. We simply lack the funding to do so (just thinking about Cerner's marketing budget is mind-spinning). But outside the U.S. I find that marketing is substantially easier. Many developing nations and low-resource clinics seek out ways to be financially stable with next to no funding (compared to U.S. providers). While hard to track, we estimate most of the installs are outside the U.S. helping build healthcare in areas that could never dream of a 9 figure IT install. Being a free and open-source platform is our greatest "sales pitch."
I should clarify:

I don't have a problem with the factory pattern. I have a problem with piling abstractions and indirection on top of abstractions and indirection to create spaghetti systems.

I don't know how EventFactoryFactoryFactory is being used but it looks like we're dealing with four levels of abstraction simultaneously, which seem likely to me to be a horrible failure of design. (I'm kind of assuming this isn't an event planning system, or something, and that "event" is an abstraction for something happening.)
Thanks - my bad. That's more like what I would have guessed.
