6 hours of commuting a day.

3 hour commute.

It's assumed that a commute is both ways. "Commute" is not used in the way the headline uses it.
"Tu wat" is Rhenish (Cologne area) German slang for "Do something." Wat = was = something.
Wasn't that enormously expensive? Was it purely for fun or did you recoup your investment?
I think succinctness/laziness is the bigger reason you might want to avoid locking when writing multi-threaded Python code, not performance. If you're just writing to a global variable or an object attribute, it's nice to be able to coordinate that between threads without any additional ceremony. Ideally you wouldn't need to think about it, so it's annoying that it's nearly true but not quite fully true for Python.
And TUNIX has the double-meaning w/ unix and do nothing (nix is nothing in german slang)
Christmas Day: Just another day at the office
HDD is still much cheaper than SSD. The same is with ICE cars that have 100 years to perfect manufacturing. I guess in 10 years battery will be cheap enough to end the ICE age, but at this technological point small ICE + small battery looks like the cheapest solution.
Thanks for the actionable feedback!
Mine can, it's 20 years old and costs much less than a new Fiat. Reliable too...

If you want to buy a car like that new it will cost you a ton of money but second hand with a bit of searching you can find that kind of car easily, top speed of a car is irrelevant anyway, in this case it was simply a result of age, low mileage, budget and trim. And there is no way I am going to delude myself and think I am a good enough driver for speeds like that whatever the tires under it are.
Imperialism is not a bad thing.

I'll paste in my previous comment about this. The tone is bit harsh, the context was more hypeful

> Ugh. I feel like Wamelinks researchs importance is way overblown. Hydroponics has shown that you need no soil to grow plants, so is it really surprising that Mars soil simultant that has been specifically treated to be friendly can sustain plants and worms? Especially when the simultant might not have been very accurate chemically to begin with. Personally I think the first generations will be using heavily hydroponics, and during that period can do actual in-situ experiments that are far more informative than anything we can do here on earth.

> Direct quote from their 2014 paper (I couldn't find the earthworm paper, links would be appreciated):

> > Our results show that it is in principle possible to grow plants in Martian and Lunar soil simulants although there was only one plant that formed a flower butt on moon soil simulant. Whether this extends to growing plants on Mars or the moon in full soils themselves remains an open question. More research is needed about the representativeness of the simulants, water holding capacity and other physical characteristics of the soils, whether our results extend to growing plants in full soil, the availability of reactive nitrogen on Mars and moon combined with the addition of nutrients and creating a balanced nutrient availability, and the influence of gravity, light and other conditions.
It sure was. The Lisa originally sold for $10,000 in 1983. The price dropped to about $5k (IIRC) for the Lisa 2 which came out the same day as the original Mac, but that was still very expensive.

128K Mac ($2500) + Lisa 2 ($5000) = $7500 in 1983 (~$18,600 in 2017 dollars).
I'm not completely sure that I'd actually call it a "problem" though. I'm usually completely oblivious to it until I hear something that I can hum along to.

The last two I can think of are my wife's comments about some particular singer's song that's been playing a lot this Christmas season, and about a month ago when I was humming along to some Muse in a pizza parlor.

Sure, Clojure adds a lot of overhead on top of the JVM. However, even large Java apps can take seconds to startup. If you're targeting something like AWS Lambda, that's a no go.
Most space gear (excluding the stuff that gets you to and back from space) has been almost implausibly reliable. Voyager 1's thrusters still work far past their intended best-before date and they were not designed to have someone's life depend on them.

If a Manned Maneuvering Unit somehow failed, it would have been a highly extraordinary event. The crew on the shuttle along with their mission controllers could have made an assessment of the risk of failure of the second MMU.

This isn't like your computer kernel-panicking and you rebooting it and hoping for the best.
macOS actually has stationery pads! https://www.macworld.com/article/1161619/software-utilities/...

But Lisa OS was amazing, and was ahead of the original macOS in many ways: preemptive multitasking, way nicer error messages, hierarchical files system, a more fully fleshed out desktop/document metaphor, etc.

I think the Lisa OS's error messages are still better than macOS's.
While that's true, C# isn't limited to enterprise.

I've worked in startups and digital agencies throughout my career, and C# is everywhere in the latter. It's a lot harder to find startup work, but there are people building on the .NET framework.

You can happily make a career in .NET without ever working in an enterprise capacity.
From what I understand, only a tiny proportion of oil is used for plastics and other chemicals. Transportation is the overwhelming use.
It's crazy how scientists are researching worms for Mars and yet our scientists in agriculture actively preach practices that compact soil and kill soil biology. Monsanto chemicals and John Deeres tractors are ruining systems that literally self renew.

Maybe we should try to work with earth's nature here before trying to emulate it on another planet?

At this size (4GWe) it was no big deal, the hydro plants can cover easily. But at 50 or 100% renewables it's much more challenging because entire regions can go down unpredictably. The 1 GWe nukes go down for outages generally in a staggered way (though not always, for instance in a common-cause design concern)
Didn't the ukranian government cover the plant with a dome cover?
Isn't it funny how you can read different things into the same data?

> So, 1 year passed, and Vue.js is clearly the leader in "would like to learn" by a huge margin

For me, the main takeaway of the newer chart is "React is the clear winner in the 'Happy Customer' category".

For the record, I never used any of the frameworks, though I think I will, some day.
I replaced the inductor with one from a different bad board, but it took a while to identify the inductor as the problem with the board. Some people wanted to get the system running right away, and there were spare boards around.
>Electricity, until petroleum-burning plants are replaced with nuclear or renewable alternatives.

Except for home generators and the like, no one uses oil for electricity generation. Coal and natural gas are used, since they are much cheaper.
They not only have a Lisa, they have a Lisa 1, which is very rare. The last one that sold at auction (in the past few months) sold for around $50,000. I've seen estimates for the number remaining in existence as low as 30. It didn't sell well originally, but more importantly, Apple offered all Lisa 1 owners a free upgrade (via modification) to a Lisa 2 when it was released, and most took them up on it.

Lisa 2's are much easier to come by, especially as the "Mac XL" which sold decently as a high-end Mac. I've got a Lisa 2 running Lisa OS myself.
I have already moved to using React for my larger projects and Mithril for my smaller ones instead of Vue because of the lack of typescript support.

That and when you add JSX to mithril, the api just feels so simple and i rarely find myself checking the docs for something.
I bought a Lisa system and lots of accessories at a garage sale when I was a kid. The guy had kept all the receipts for everything, and the total, including a couple of 5MB and one 10 MB hard disk, was over $20,000. He used it for business, and it had some business apps that I don't recall. I sold the whole pile of stuff for a few hundred dollars (and I paid less than that for it, I don't remember how much, but I was usually spending less than $100 on 8 bit stuff or PCs that needed work, so it couldn't have been much), and it's probably the machine (of many really cool/weird/rare things) that I wish I'd somehow kept through all those years. Such an interesting piece of history. But, I was a Commodore fanatic at the time, and didn't really get excited about Apple products (and still mostly don't, kinda for the same reason, summed up by an old Tramiel slogan "for the masses not the classes").

And, yes, the CHM is well worth a visit. I used to take everyone who came to visit me in Mountain View to see it, even if they weren't nerds. It is an enjoyable and educational afternoon, I think, for anyone with even a little curiosity about the history of the devices we all rely on.

Genuinely curious why you assume this is a PR stunt vs. say, a logistics related thing. The effects of such a PR stunt are likely negligible vs. potentially losing out on hundreds or thousands of sales due to long and unnecessary waiting times.
> Offering to correct a word, rather than silently doing it, will like lead to correct text, rather than text that _appears_ correct faster

Android's approach is to take confidence in the correction into account: if it's extremely sure it'll auto-correct, if it's less sure it'll just offer. And either way, the UI makes it clear when either of those things has happened.
I was going through this list and saying “where the hell is Horizon Zero Dawn!?!?”.

Then I found it at #2. It is a tough choice between that and Mario, but for me Horizon edges it out.
The max FICA (Social Security) tax in 2017 was $7,886.40, which equates to an income of $127,200 (it's a 6.2% tax). There are many people making below that threshold, and not even paying that much.

You can't live very comfortably on less than $8,000 / year. It takes nearly two workers (maybe three if you consider the average annual income, and that the fair majority workers aren't making maximum FICA payments) to cover every retiree -- which seems to logically require successively larger working age adults than prior generations.
I'll never forget the scale model of one I found under the tree Christmas morning back in Florida not long after the Cuban missile crisis.

Naturally in school we were rehearsing in case of a strike but very few fallout shelters existed so we improved our response time for getting in position safely underneath our desks.
With Kinesis, you would just use the Kinesis Client Library (https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client-python) which would automatically handle committing the offsets to DynamoDB.

Home-rolling a checkpoint-free event pipeline is a rookie mistake; it's a pity they didn't come across our Snowplow project (Apache 2.0 event pipeline running on Kinesis, Kafka and NSQ, https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/).
Wow. Answers like this are why I come to HN. Thank you.
Yes, you get that characteristic machine oil smell from the old machines. The older punch card machines from the 1930s actually have a bunch of metal oil tubes running through them to keep everything lubricated.
Non-American here. There has been a role switch. We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Where formerly the right harboured the deepest suspicions of Russia, the liberals have taken over the position, probably as a scapegoat for political retreats.

Posts on HN such as yours and probably mine will turn gray-white fast since if you haven't sufficiently disavowed Goldstein then you are probably a collaborator.
It smells like this approach opens up a sort of attack vector. Eg, to wreck someone's experience by getting some false information injected into a target's social media streams in order to be picked up by these information harvesters.
From what I have read of the history of technology, when a radical new technology is invented, it usually takes 20 or more years before people figure out how to put it to profitable commercial use.
Basically everything. In my web projects, gradle runs css and js minification and compilation, and in game projects, it runs the asset preprocessing.

The build-time code is handled with gradle’s buildSrc folder.

I also obviously use Annotation Preprocessors to pre-generate code for my Java projects, and additional build tools to further minify and optimize the output (e.g., for Android, I also run redex over it).

Basically, gradle for me handles the entire build – fetching dependencies, building native libraries, running code generators, building Java code, binding them together, processing assets, compressing the result, and optimizing it all – and deploying the results.

In nice, and modular steps.

That sounds like the mantra of an anthropomorphised virus. But my down-votes seem to suggest it's popular opinion here.

Hard to disrupt when the decision criteria is the value of the kickbacks.
The Wayback Machine data is not available in bulk, only via the web interface.
So I guess the problem here is that to calculate the probability that the likelihood exceeds a certain bound can't be calculated solely from the likelihood (+prior) itself.

Yet interestingly, the likelihood + prior is enough to make statements about the distribution of the parameters you're looking at. So you can say something about the certainty that your parameter exceeds a certain bound.

I suppose it really depends on your application which you'd want to use.
Best way to track customers is to provide free wifi. Log the visits by mac addresses, and you can collect huge amounts of valuable data.

As a young kid, I thought astronauts where just specially trained pilots like any other who happened to go into space. When I actually did some research on it I found out how wrong I was. Many of them helped engineer the equipment they used (as McCandless did). I've never had the chance to meet an astronaut but they also seem like good people in general.
Right now, it's high-end restaurants in New York City doing this. But they did that by hand in the past. The "headwaiter who knows everybody" was a big deal once.

The big change will come when this filters down to chain restaurants. Which way will Starbucks go on this? They already have an affinity card and know your WiFi information. "You haven't visited a Starbucks in 72 hours. Are you OK?"
Curious—what makes you prefer angular?
But that's my point. Of course he deserved a payout if he reported a previously unknown vulnerability. What I'm saying is that he (appears to have) behaved in such toxic way (sow) that someone denied something he deserved (reap). All parties in this are squishy humans with emotions.

No one looks good - he doesn't look good for how he behaved/communicationed, Uber doesn't look good for denying the payout on a valid report, and Hackerone doesn't look good for not enforcing a minimum payout on a valid report.
I feel that calling it "Mac OS series 0" comes too close to a touchy subject for it to be considered a better name.

Raskin's original vision for the Macintosh project was a text-based UI. (The Canon Cat was a descendant of that design.) Only later did Macintosh gain support for the Lisa-style graphical programs.

I don't know the timeline, but I can point to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh which says:

> Smith's first Macintosh board was built to Raskin's design specifications: it had 64 kilobytes (kB) of RAM, used the 8-bit Motorola 6809E microprocessor, and was capable of supporting a 256×256-pixel black-and-white bitmap display. Bud Tribble, a member of the Mac team, was interested in running the Apple Lisa's graphical programs on the Macintosh, and asked Smith whether he could incorporate the Lisa's Motorola 68000 microprocessor into the Mac while still keeping the production cost down. By December 1980, Smith had succeeded ...

Then at https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor... you read that "the very first prototype of the very first Macintosh sprung to life early in the first month of the new decade, in January 1980" with the 6809E. That would be before the 68000 was added.

If that prototype - or any prototype before the 68000 was added - had an operating system, then that should be called "Mac OS series 0."
What features are lacking exactly? With .NET Standard, almost everything should work unless it's relying on Windows specific APIs.
Let me tell you a short story.

I worked at a company for almost 2 years. One day my manager calls me into his office. He asks me: "Do you like working here?" I pause for a moment, then respond "No. Not really." He then says "Alright then. You are fired."

In my particular situation, I pretty much knew what was actually going on and why. I could have handed him a letter of my two week resignation instead of going through the ridiculous charade of "do you like working here?" There is good reason why people hand in resignations before asking for the details. The chance that you will get suddenly terminated for no apparent reason is very real.

Was I fired for a valid reason from the company? Nope. My performance reviews etc were very high. The manager just didn't like me and the feeling was mutual.

As another example, if one is not enough:

Another place I worked at, also for almost 2 years. I work there through a consulting group. One day my consulting group handler comes to the office and says we need to talk and asks me to come to lunch. No notice before he showed up. After leaving the secure facility, he asks me for my access card and informs me I have been fired.

I ask why. He says that no reason was given. I keep pestering the guy, who I know fairly well, to try to get some sort of explanation. Eventually he says that the only explanation he was given is that the company said I am too smart. He said it doesn't make any sense and he doesn't get it either. To this day I don't know why I was let go from that position.

If I'm at a job and things look like they are going sour; it is time for hardball. I assume that I could be fired at any moment at all times, and I make sure I am prepared for it.

You think "Two weeks is bullshit"? Two weeks is generous.
I'm the point person for a church parish group supporting an incarcerated prisoner who'll likely be in for another eight years and this is what we deal with all the time.

Combine the ambivalence that people will feel about most offenders with legitimate security requirements (especially those designed to defeat opioid smuggling) with security BS with business profiteering, and you've got a toxic mix that, usually, whittles away the outside support and community connections most prisoners have.

We're a relatively wealthy group, with lots of retired people, and so there are people who can take the time to know the correspondence and book sending requirements, others who can make the 3 hour (each way) trip to visit with the prisoner once a month, others who can take phone calls. We reduced the cost of the calls for the calls from $25/fifteen minute call to "only" $3.50 through some Twilio VOIP call forwarding.

And I know all about Jpay. $0.40 for each email message (slightly less with the volume discount), plus the same again for each attachment (and at this point, only 40 cents for email seems cheap). The 10% fee for cash for the commissary (plus the prison takes a cut for the inmate's savings account).

We struggle to do what we need to do for our prisoner, and I can't bear to think about all the prisoners who are depending on just a few family members and friends who themselves are struggling to get by.
lool he has valid points though.

Take a look at this article http://www.red-lang.org/2017/07/063-macos-gui-backend.html and see the info about rule-oriented rewriting engine that actually tries to deal with such differences. It's of course not perfect (Red is still in alpha), but it's not something that's being overlooked.
"Now they're even starting to abolish in-person visitationa t some jails and prisons and force family members to use video visitation"

Ugh. Haven't encountered this yet. That's truly shitty.
Glad to see Mithril mentioned. I like it better than React when comparing the APIs, It just seems simpler. But React obviously has the mind share. I'd love to see Mithril gain momentum.

I especially like the fact that I can easily include it as a script, like Vue, and don't have to have a build chain. That really decreases complexity for smaller projects.
React Beginner Question Thread
Yeah it's a huge campaign being pushed basically everywhere.

I'm assuming that Israel, various gulf states and their proxies inside the US lobbyist complex are a little spaztic about Hezhollah's somewhat higher geopolitical status. Which they earned by their successful fight against ISIS in Syria/Lebanon and Iraq.
>but to claim that "the whole ecosystem is heavily tied to them" is simply wrong, and shows a gross misunderstanding of the React world.

May be, but this is how it looks from my part of the world, which is Russia or China when I am doing term contracts there from time to time.

Here, the so called "software evangelists", apparently paid or hired by FB, swarm tech events to lecture people on how to do "10 tricks to transform your eCommerce business with Agile management, and FLUX pattern". And they get pretty annoying. My experience with React ends with my interaction with them and doing basic demos for recruitment interviews. I have not yet heard of a FRP-framework-free React site being considered norm for a "serious project" here.

Just like those FB "evangelists" do today, Angular proponents were doing the same 5 years ago with their maxim: "the magic provider/factory/service pattern is the new best thing since a sliced bread" without elaborating much why. That lead to many mentally-infirm developers trying to shove it everywhere, making usage of Angular ecosystem without zealous following of that pattern impossible.

I have impression that the same is happening with FRP-everywhere crowd and React.

If this isn't how it is, I am glad.
Sport cars have stronger engines, luxury cars are heavier. How do you get from that to 'more economical' ?
