Yes. Horses for courses, but in every case that I have seen, mostly web apps, merge to master is what works best. And things like long-lived branches, complex strategies and gitflow are a waste of time, counterproductive, or even actively harmful.

Also it's worth noting that unless you don't have a "shared mainline" (i.e. master branch) that all dev changes are merged to, frequently; then you can't have Continuous Integration

This is simply not true about Emacs. I have to restart my Emacs every couple of months because it gets too slow. I am not quite sure how to debug this.
Better integration with multiplexers like tmux and screen. Thus I get native window boundaries for easy copy&paste with a mouse. I think iTerm2 can do this on macOS but no Linux/BSD-one. There is terminator which has this functionality but it does its own thing and doesn’t use a multiplexer in the background. Essentially terminator but with tmux and Screen (both for choice of the user…even though I think tmux is superior) in the background, so that I can let sessions run in the background and have them available when I connect via ssh or have them survive when the WM should crash.
In addition I am a sucker for theming. Thus easy themability and an easy way to import and export themes. With 256 colors of course and not only 16.
Otherwise I am pretty uninagimative because most of the stuff is handled by the shell anyways and I need to ssh into servers all the time, so for stuff like auto-completion the terminal would need to have knowledge about the remote server as well which would be problematic probably.
Easy ways to resize - not only drag and drop but give me a way to enter dimensions when I am on a legacy machine which has only screen and I have to share a session with someone. And it would be neat to save session layouts. So that the terminal opens up my last session with 10 terminals placed on the right positions on my screen (but tmux-integration might solve that already) and maybe even remembers which servers I connected to last in which terminal. So when I restarted my computer I open the terminal and it starts to connect already my ssh-sessions. It is really annoying when I restart my machine and have to reconnect to a dozen servers and arrange all the terminals.
You might want to look into resource packers. I believe a few projects will pack files into the binary in a fashion something akin to resources in .Net/Java. Go-bindata is one such project; that or something else may suit your needs.
I truly believe offshore IT work was mostly a scam in the first place. The work they produced was of very low quality, and often was more expensive because you had to go back in and fix everything. The whole game was to overcharge western firms for cheap crap produced by shoddy programmers overseas. The IT outsourcing firms would pocket the difference. Come in and promise the world, overbill and underdeliver. Then the client is stuck with your crap and needs to pay you to maintain it.

It was on a matter of time before companies figured it out. Add to that advances in automation and the move to the cloud, and this was guaranteed to happen.

You haven't addressed the point that jeremylee made about the SMART on FHIR platform now available in those EMRs. It's not a complete solution but it works today and people are building real applications on it. Take a look at the demos from the latest HL7 FHIR Applications Roundtable.

Ask HN: Why isn't literally every train automated?
Possibly late here, but why aren't more / all trains automated? The route is static; Speed should be easy to determine; AFAIK they aren't mechanically unreliable enough to warrant a full-time mechanic on-board; LIDAR and image recognition can detect hazards on the track.

It seems silly that there have been such strides in automating automobiles before trains.
I'm Indian and I agree with you. Parent overdid it a little bit. People gives many shits about the H1B, and it isn't that easy to pull Indians back from the US.

Relatively easier than say ten years ago, but not at the level of bravado that parent exhibits.
The UI specs I ship get built out by a team in India and I get to review it once a week. They record a demo on video and send it to me overnight. It's the only thing we can reconcile with the time difference, since I am not able to access the staging environment (for reasons made unclear to me).
Is this efficient enough to run real-time on a phone?
I'm with you on this -- I have found mind maps useful when brainstorming (particularly with a small group of people), but I like my notes in a format that can be grepped and easily version managed, so I use VS Code/Markdown, git, and a lot of typing.
Wouldn't adding an extra syllable to a large subset of words indeed be a language problem?

This is an important point. As a westerner living in Asia now, I'm always amused by the maid-mongering that goes on here: "Oh, do you have a maid, a driver, and servants?" These are widespread status symbols in Asia.

Now, of course these household servants perform valuable labour here. But where I'm from, a technologically advanced country- we've largely obviated household help. We have central HVAC, automatic dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, Amazon Echo, Nest, etc etc. There is no need for full-time maids, you see.

I'm sorry if this sounds smug, but it's true. Indians reminding westerners that they have maids is something that makes us smile knowingly. Residual colonialism in the 21st century doesn't impress us.
The article says "Browsers did not want to re-enable the insecure downgrade and fight the uphill battle of oiling the protocol negotiation joint again for the next half-decade." So I guess the natural solution to that is making the TLS protocol a User-Agent-esque nightmare of compatibility patches and pretending to support something you don't which surely WONT come back to bite them in the ass years down the line...
Not really; those are exactly the sort of config settings you'd sensibly use to prevent someone from DDoSing your untrusted prototype-level infrastructure.

If your VMs are truly cheap, and you've ironed out the kinks from your proof-of-concept, you'd obviously set up your production system to run more than 16 of them.
I don't think it's just a coincidence. I think certain topics are more likely to get dupes.

Just tested a Pixel 2 XL. 12 seconds to lock screen and 4 more to the home screen including my pattern entry. I think this is the fastest booting phone I've ever had.

Actually I had to do it twice because the first time it installed a system update, but even then it only took 26 seconds to install, finish booting, and show the lock screen. System updates have been seriously optimized in the last few Android releases. They used to take like 5 minutes.

> "Maybe we need to let passionate, smart people have it out from time to time so everyone can be reminded which positions can stand up to the flames just fine."

While it may be enticing to think of a flamewar as a crucible for good discussion, I think that it's far from the case. Fierce, passionate criticism is not the same thing as people talking past each other to attack straw men. There's little time or incentive to sift through the ashes looking for some purified argument that's withstood the flames when you can rush into the next thread in the forum where the a new fire is just getting started. This is pretty clear to see when the same ideological discussions are rewarmed again and again.
Best learning comes from experience. The best one could get out of books or video tutorials in the case of learning cloud infrastructure services like AWS is a firm fundamentals of their stack or services. This awareness is what would prove helpful.

There are a ton of things that could be done and a constraints are fast disappearing with change in services or cropping up of new services to meet the requirements.

The real answer is that the life sciences are currently in a medieval phase. It's like doing physics without algebra or calculus. We should certainly not expect any regular progress. It is extraordinarily inefficient.
It depends on how many resources it takes to run those 16 instances. If it's an extremely small demo allocation, then that's not a big deal. If it's multiple gigabytes and cores then the efficiency is awful.
> or in other words the bitcoin price is only going up tomorrow. So it doesn't make sense for people to spend it.

Yes. That's why I've never bought a computer - next year there will be a faster and cheaper one on the market. And that's why people regularly starved before fiat currencies were introduced. They were just hoping they can buy more food tomorrow for the same money.

People don't need encouragement to spend. They need encouragement to save. Whoever thinks otherwise, should talk a bit about it with an average American.

Noone is going to stop spending because their currency will have 2% more purchasing power in a year. And the economy would run much better if we weren't wasting so many resources on shit that we don't need and never-ending boom and bust cycles.
Yank here. I've flown the 380 twice. It's obviously better than the 747, which is a what, 40 year older plane, but that isn't the point. 787s and 350s are both just as nice and more economical for airlines. I prefer business class in the 787 vs the 380.
People in USA have maids as status symbol too
I don't know very much Lojban but (while I agree that the grammar is meant to be a realization of a formal logic), I'm a bit unsure of your specific example with "lo cmalu noltru":

First, I think "lo cmalu noltru" is a sumti (akin to a noun phrase) and not a complete sentence by itself.

Second, I'm not positive about the existential import of "lo". There are many reasons for this, but to take a kind of extreme example, the reform of the meaning of le and lo at https://mw.lojban.org/papri/BPFK_Section:_gadri#cmavo:_lo_.2... presents the example

lo pavyseljirna cu ranmi danlu gi'e simlu lo ka ge ce'u xirma gi lo pa jirna cu cpana lo mebri be ce'u

'Unicorns are mythical creatures that look like a horse with a horn coming out of their foreheads.'

This doesn't seem to imply that there exists X such that X satisfies the predicate pavyseljirna. Or to take another example, presumably Lojban can express using "lo" the notion that "Counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem were never discovered prior to 1993, despite extensive computer searches".

I do think that many Lojban utterances have formal existential import in many cases, and I don't know enough about Lojban to try to describe which ones. :-) (I seem to remember something about a bare gismu implying that the predicate is at some occasion true of something, like "tavli" by itself without arguments meaning something like 'speaking, it's a thing that happens at some point!'. But given the example of talking about unicorns, maybe even this is too strong somehow.)

Edit: ... by the way, what's the conlang with two speakers that you speak?
It took six months to figure out how to get Alexa to change the temperature in the built in Echo of the Ecobee4 thermostat in my house. It would always respond with, "I didn't find any smart home devices." Turns out the Ecobee skill is not enabled by default for a device it is built into. Asking how to enable it or how to make it work lead no where as well.
Family doctors (and specialists) still give their patients practical advice lose weight, drink less, eat better, exercise more, and stop smoking every day. Most patients ignore the advice. What more do you expect the doctors to do? If we want people to make better lifestyle choices it's going to take a new system of incentives separate from doctors.
I can’t find the FB specific data right now, but here is some old industry trend data: http://www.nanigans.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/US-Digita...

You can kind of suss this out of their 10k by looking at their cost of sales which is much stronger than companies like Twitter who rely more heavily on brand ad sales (direct response ads generally have lower sales overhead than brand ads since they are more commonly bought on a self-serve basis, even by advertisers with very high budgets)

One reason your ads may be bad on FB is if you use an ad blocker. FB uses a lot of signal from third party websites for targeting and if your ad blocker is blocking the FB pixel from loading you are blocking some of the most common data (conversion tracking data, product interest data) used to target high-value ads.
You've mixed up two separate concepts. Primary care physician is a role, not a specialty. Most PCPs specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics. The PCP acts as the patient's primary point of contact, leads the patient's care team, and makes referrals to specialists when necessary.
>TSP

Travelling salesman problem? Can't you get to within a factor of 2 of optimal by constructing a minimum spanning tree:

Once you have a MST (which can be built efficiently), the total weight of the tree is a lower bound for the total distance of a TSP solution. However, you can construct a TSP path that traverses each edge of the MST twice; which means that we know that this path (which is easy to find) is at most twice the total cost of the optimal path.

I was quite happy with that, actually.

Given the options available for installing an application, what would you have preferred? If it had been a GitHub repository with a releases item, it would have either been a tarball'd source I have to compile (I run Linux), an RPM file that might-or-might-not work (I run openSUSE and Fedora/Redhat RPMs are more common and hit/miss on openSUSE), instructions on how to apt-get or yum install it -- no openSUSE zypper commands (though, yum instructions often work depending with the same hit/miss ratio as RPM installs).

An improvement would have been if it was code-signed in some verifiable way (I'm not sure if it was or wasn't -- I wasn't paying a lot of attention when I launched it in this virtual, TBH), but the reality is that if you want to run code, it has to be in a binary format of some kind whether you compile it yourself or it's compiled for you, and even in the case of self-compiling ... it's not like you're going to do a line-by-line audit of the code looking to ensure they're not trying to win an underhanded C contest. At least an AppImage file can be run in a sandbox, and it is a very pleasant way to get a working binary on a Linux host. It didn't require root privileges to install or execute (that would have caused raised eyebrows, here).
I feel the same way about "Representative Democracy". Sounds like a great idea, and if it worked as advertised, it'd be great way to run a country. Unfortunately, its far easier to say "We have a representative democracy" than to actually implement one, and its in the interest of everybody "in the system" to just take bribes and do whatever the fuck they like. Scrum (its not an acronym) is the same. If you can get a bunch of people together who know what the fuck they are doing and want to write software that works for the customer, then its a great process. But 90% of "Scrum" I've seen is wankword bingo.
A reasonable relocation package includes moving the family. I've seen a few firsthand.
Letting It Ride: Las Vegas Puts U.S.’s First Self-Driving Shuttle into Service
Self-driving cars may be a sham "solution" to American's transportation woes....however self-driving busses should be considered as a very practical mass transit alternative to rail since the road infrastructure is already built.
For a build system similar to Tup, check out http://physics.oregonstate.edu/~roundyd/fac/introducing-fac....

Explicitly inspired by the former, same build paradigm, doesn't use FUSE. Has some neat git integrations. Doesn't work on macOS/Windows yet though.

One funny feature that falls from the design is that you can just keep running & failing a fac build, and it'll nudge you toward the correct build.
If they could they would. Plus there are costs beyond the actual pay such as cost of heath insurance, admin costs etc.

Agreed. Self-driving cars may be a sham "solution" to American's transportation woes....however self-driving busses should be considered as a very practical mass transit alternative to rail since the road infrastructure is already built. I've heard they are testing this out in Las Vegas:

For many people the premium isn't the same. Under US law, medical insurance companies are allowed to offer premium discounts for members who meet certain wellness goals such as maintaining a normal weight or blood glucose level.
The same thing happened to me sometime in the last week. My computer was off for several days (christmas), and when I turned it on, I had an IP ban. Using proxy works, but it's a needless hassle. If I delete the cookies, everything is ok, until I click the login link. From then on all I get is 403 on all pages. Annoying to say the least is, that there doesn't seem to be any auto-unban timeout.

And I don't comment all that much. Last month it was a comment every three days or so.

It made me think about the value of commenting for me and I decided to stop posting and lurk. Most of the value for me is in the lurking anyway.

Yep they recruit actively in Ukraine and pay a bit above but again taxes are way higher.
I couldn't agree more.
Contrarian posts and comments which challenge the dominant beliefs are often the most interesting because that's where the innovation is. It would be interesting to see, say a contrarian view of a post where down-voted comments actually rose to the top.
Because of the way down-voting lowers rank, I tend to view hacker news as "the view of the establishment". It's a shame because there are a lot of smart contrarian people on here, and it would be great if it were easier to zero in on their contributions.
Consciousness: Where Are Words?
They use both. Weapons incorporating fusion (boosted fission bombs, or "true" Teller-Ulam fusion weapons) have several advantages. Fusion fuel is cheaper than weapons grade plutonium, per unit of yield. Fusion weapons scale up to higher yields. Fusion weapons deliver more yield in a compact package. That's why the world's nuclear arsenals are overwhelmingly thermonuclear, with few pure-fission weapons.
Resolving the Cannot reference X before supertype constructor error in Java
Good engineering can certainly be done by anyone well qualified, regardless of background or upbringing. I work for a US-based hosting provider with international clients, so I get to take calls from customers (often IT teams for large clients) from all over the globe. To use India as the chosen example, I've worked with teams that could out-engineer me on a good day, that clearly knew what they were doing. I've also worked with teams that, possibly due to language barrier issues, could barely comprehend their own code base, much less anything I was attempting to help them troubleshoot. To be quite honest though, I could remove "India" from that equation entirely, because I've worked with many US "technical contacts" that, despite speaking perfect English, lack even the most basic technical skills.

The pervasive idea that westerners do seem to have, speaking from personal experience, is a bias against "cheap foreign labor." The actual problem is of course any company which poorly manages its external teams, and especially those companies which go for the lowest bidder, and then place that poorly equipped team in their Tier 1 customer support hotlines. I think this is very much a real problem, but the discussion surrounding it often invites offensive language, passionate nationalism, and stirs emotions in a way that distracts from the root of the problem.

I can't think of any way to combat it other than to come up with counter examples that paint the high quality teams in a good light, so that's what I'll continue to do. If a team does good work and I'm impressed by them, you bet my family and friends hear about it! It's not much of course, but I find it more constructive to focus on the positives and the potential solutions, rather than to concentrate on the negatives.

This of it like this: You have a currency that is giving a return of 3% per year. Why would someone risk their money investing in existing or new businesses/ventures?
Yep, there's only one of me. :)
If there were a 100 windows lets assume there are 1 on each side so that is 50 rows. lets say first 10 rows are first class. That would leave 40 rows. Its 9 seats across that is 360 people. There 1st class rows have 4 across 787 does not hold 360+40 people.

Also it doesn't get all the way dark. I just feel it was a piece of engineering that doesn't need to be there in my opinion.
