>> Journalism went out of business a long time ago because no one will buy it.

And the unfortunate outcome of that is infotainment and advertorials pretending to be news. Even worse is that more and more people take that stuff at face value.

Suppose you have an open source or hobby project.

The Free Edition has limitations that impact how you would write code -- it supports only the "peer" API and not the "client" API, and is restricted in terms of backend storage choices and number of peers. So while it's very likely true there's perfect API compatibility when you want to step up to a paid edition, it makes you design to the artificial limitations they've used to set apart "free" from "paid".

Indeed, it's also not the recommended way to learn. The Datomic team says: "If you are trying Datomic for the first time, we recommend that you begin with a client library." In other words, the Free Edition doesn't include the client library that they recommend you try first.

If you step up to the Starter Edition you have full functionality and free updates but only for the first year. Beyond that, you start paying. Either you run in Cloud (as low as $1/day) or you purchase the on-prem Pro Edition ($5000/year).

Don't get me wrong. Cognitect has the right to charge whatever they like, and bundle features however they like. It's their intellectual property and they made the investment to create it.

But if you're building a hobby project then even $1/day may be more than you want to spend, and/or more than you want to impose on outside contributors to your codebase.
Why removing all responsibility from the buyer?

This was pure speculation. Buyers knew the risk.

And in true Google style I expect them to slowly ignore it and then drop the program, leaving anyone who invested in it high and dry.
Of course you should. No "look at this cool hack" exists that doesn't have a safer, easier to trace equivalent.

Doesn't mean you won't find those hacks in a million code bases used in production, though, and a professional knowledge of "yeah.. okay that's possible, but come on" isn't a bad thing to have.
It's not tightly coupled to the database, it's just not on the browser. And because they aren't tightly coupled, you can still make the renderer the client of your REST/gRPC API just as you would the browser. Or it may be more practical to have your non-browser clients talking to your API while your renderer talks directly to the database.
There is no doubt that it will have a heavy focus on their cloud solutions.

Sure! It's a Samsung UA40J6200AW (Series 6?), and I think it's a 2016 model, but it might be late 2015 release.

It is showing v2.0.8 as a 2016/11/10 release in the Samsung App Store, but their store also shows it near the top of "What's New" today. (I'm sure Samsung have been 'fun' to deal with.)

My email is in my HN profile, happy to help if I can!
Of course you can, enterprises are already starting to push "bring your own device". Even if you don't do that, you can still move to the thin client model where hardware failure just means asking the office manager to swap your device with a new one from the cupboard.
> there's a good reason we say it like that

But could you explain that in this particular case?

For instance, let's say bitcoin is at $10,000 and it moves a few cents up and down, giving big swings in your non-zero-based graph. Why are those big swings saying anything meaningful to a financial type?

In my graph, the line would be almost flat, and clearly indicates that nothing is really happening (low volatility).

Ask HN: Who is using Python and for what?
Being in the middle of a non-trivial SPA build, I can't agree that the technical difficulties are "solved", especially if you want to build on open source tech. Specifically, my project was prototyped in Firebase and for various reasons needs to be moved off. Now I'm left building a lot of plumbing that just isn't available outside of Firebase. In the end, our result will be less capable than the Firebase equivalent because we don't have time to engineer features like offline support and optimistic updates. There are a lot of tradeoffs to be made in order to avoid "hard problems" that are still very prevalent. I'll be happy to be proven wrong :)
Well, one positive thing about this drop is that it will hopefully get rid of the "get rich quick" crowd (no offence).

I have a „Hörmann“ garage door opener.
For a long time, I want to use my phone instead of the original sender.
Therefore, I thought to run a raspberry and send the signal from there.

I recorded the signal with HackRF One as .wav, the problem here is that HackRF records with a sampling rate much higher than 48kHz (by default it is 10MHz!).
So one has to downsample the recorded file, which I did with Matlab (downsample(signal, „fs_of_record/fs_for_rpitx“)).
The resulting .wav signal is now send at 433MHz (either my garage door listens their too, or 2nd harmonic works?!)

One thing I'm not seeing is people talking about the reason Microsoft created UWP: as a competitor to responsive web frameworks that could run on their Continuum and Windows on ARM platforms.

Full stop.

Of course, the second they abandoned Windows Mobile, it made UWP irrelevant (not that it was terribly relevant anyway).

Absolutely no one* wants to build an app that works only on Windows 10 desktops, Xbox and IoT devices. There's no use for that.

*Obvious hyperbole.
You're really underselling the achievements of MS and Alibaba here. These are machine learning systems that are most likely not using grammar rules and matching, but learning patterns from large amounts of text data. Most of these systems use a word embedding, which can be viewed as a body of knowledge -- it knows how words relate to eachother.

@jlebrech thank you! :)

Regarding the AST topic: Luna does use AST for the translation - if you modify the graph, an AST-diff is created, applied to the AST and then AST-diff is created and applied to the text. If you cange text, the AST-diff is applied to the visual form. The visual graph is not direct AST visualisation because it would be completely unreadable :)
There are but there are some heavy caveats and they don't really work all that well. For example, I recently purchased one of these Sintech adapters[0] and a Samsung 960 Evo. NVMe drives are technically supported in the latest High Sierra, but clearly there are huge issues with the NVMe SSD drivers and OS X still. While I appreciated the higher speeds and capacity at a better price, ultimately having OSX hard reboot due to kernel panics two or three times a day made me give up on this experiment. I'll probably try it again sometime in the future though.

This will depend in part on the kind of work you do.

If it were me, I would look for some articles on businesses that chose to locate in rural areas and thrived. Then look for articles about the type of business you want to create that thrived and pay close attention to anything they say about what factors were important to their success.

Silicon Valley started as a lovely area and Stanford decided to foster tech businesses there. I think there was a lotto farmland out there at the time, but you should double check that. Now, SFBA is so expensive that some people don't want to live and work there. A lot of talent is moving to places like Seattle and Austin because it is just too crazy in the Bay Area.

I had a class on economic geography. Specific businesses need access to specific things in order to succeed. You basically need to list what things the business has need of and pick a location that fulfills those criteria. Some things that might matter:

A nearby college.

Critical infrastructure, such as high speed internet.

Transit and shipping options pertinent to your needs.

Research facilities, chamber of commerce or other business support.

This needs to be a business decision. Either location may work, but you need to pick it based on needs of the business.
Fast.ai is the only thing I recommend
Any wire acts as an antenna. Therefore, any part of the computer can be the part emitting the radiation.

Choosing which part of the computer is a matter of choosing the frequency which dictates the length of wire necessary and which parts can oscillate at that frequency.
Beautiful, this hits a need for me. A decent changelog is something that has been on our backlog for weeks but was never quite important enough to invest the engineering time ourselves. Not only that, it's better than our specs and cheaper than doing it in house.
I've noticed this as well. From a software perspective, even while working on an extended task that I mostly enjoy, if I'm presented with a novel, seemingly short task I usually have no trouble at all getting motivated and switching gears so I can figure it out and get the quick win. I wonder if it's the anticipation of a quick, clean solution that my brain's reward system desperstely needs?
I'm struggling with this (SPA vs no SPA), and think you are stating the obvious:

overall experience the end customer is going to need and expect.

data analysis, frequent order entry, or highly dynamic UX

The hard part is, how do you measure that? obviously some web apps need highly dynamic UX, a spreadsheet, some not, a blog, choosing between these two is easy.

But most web apps sit somewhere in the middle, I don't know the answer, but for example, how much will github users benefit from the experience of a SPA?

office workers still have computing devices on their desks, keyboards monitors, mice, printers, label printers, scanners, voip phones, switches, routers, access points, sip callboxes on the doors, projectors, access control systems, etc.

maybe the office will finally go paperless this decade, and a couple of those will go away. they'll just be some new IoT fuckery to contend with.
>Journalism went out of business a long time ago because no one will buy it.

With some exceptions. And there's also good tech commentary from various people who get food put on their plate from other sources which admittedly creates at least the potential for greater biases that aren't obvious. Although bias-free has always been an aspiration that generally hasn't existed in its purest form in practice.

And a lot of popular science has always been pretty shallow.
Or they just went back to using simple CPUs, and were content with solving smaller problems.
To be fair, that's what we do to humans as well. We feed them all the information they can consume, and after it's all been processed, then we try to figure out what all the output means. From that point forward, we heavily specialize them until their general purpose skills are basically deprecated in favor of their new specialization.

Humans aren't born with the capabilities they possess at adulthood, they're fed data constantly, every second of the day, for decades until they're ready to show their true potential. Yes it sucks that AI right now needs so much data, but then again so do humans, to a far greater extent. And no wonder we're better than AI.

The argument proffered through is that it is necessary for their mental health. Which then begs the question, what about people who compulsively get plastic surgery? Which is exactly why the DSM carefully says that "gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder. The critical element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition". Body dysmorphic disorder on the other hand is itself pathological, so continued surgeries do not rank as humane treatment.

Topological Data Analysis for Data Scientists – Beyond Ayasdi
Hopefully cellphones weren't allowed? Otherwise it would be interesting to hack the phone to go to "record AM signals" if there's no cell/wifi/FM/GPS signals (if it were on a plane it would still see GPS signals). Or maybe to announce its presence using ultrasonic, so if there's also compromised machines/CPUs/hypervisor environments inside the secured environment, it would detect the "Hello" and start uploading data to it. Later when the phone user reconnects to the cell network, it can upload your secret data..
That's fascinating that it could be profitable, considering that many clothes may make two ocean crossings as they are transformed from raw materials (cotton), weaving into cloth, sewing into garments, and finally, retail sales at the local shopping mall.

Surely it would be cheaper to keep it all local, right? Well, I saw a television program about a North Carolina company that is taking local-grown cotton, dying it with Indigo (also grown in NC), weaving it here, cutting and sewing it into a finished pair of blue jeans. Price? More than $200 per pair.

That $20 pair of cheap jeans at walmart (there are several brands to choose from) looks a lot more attractive to my budget.
That's begging the question. The point is, "Who decides what a good reason for this is?"

After all, it seems self-evident that nobody would seriously ask for these things if they themselves didn't believe they had a good reason, yes?
I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if no such battery was on the spacecraft.

You have to remember that Voyager is way past its originally planned mission life span, and that the nuclear battery was more than fine for the planned life span.

Batteries tend to be heavy, not operate well at very low temperatures, and wear down quicker than the 40+ years since construction of the space craft.

From the perspective of the original mission design, even with incredible foresight, it seems to be not worth the trade-offs.
Russia readies supercomputer to improve World Cup weather forecasts
The smart money is on the city. It's what everyone else does - why make waves? But I don't think that going rural is without merit. Having lived and worked in a big city my whole career, I can't help but feel that employers setting up shop in expensive places just helps to drive up inequality. As a drone, I never get to enjoy the finer points of city living, and just pass off my paycheck to the landlord.

Also, don't underestimate the benefits of rural towns. Small town America has been decimated over the last decade. Any source of decent salary is worshiped, and you may find your company and employees get to enjoy real ownership of their environment.

On the other hand, I've never heard the cost of living being a huge driver in talent. You would need to recruit farther and wider, and probably pay relocation expenses. But I imagine the people who take it will be much more loyal. And there is a huge contingent of people in the tech space that love the country and are under-served by the job market.
Delegation as implemented in Kotlin is very novel; AFAIK it's the first remotely mainstream language with that feature (not counting Go since it doesn't have traditional inheritance at all).

(I think it's a very good idea, but it's as innovative as anything you'll see in e.g. Scala, so it makes a mockery of the "blue collar" narrative)

Non-representable types are also decidedly "novel" (in the sense of "wtf?"), as are some of the details of their preferred way of doing await/async (assuming they haven't radically changed again in a minor version as they did in the past).

The only sense in which Kotlin is blue-collar is that it prioritizes immediate use cases over consistency and theoretical coherence. That's not "Java as if it had been designed today", that's "Perl as if it had been designed today".

I am not defending SPAs, but the points you've made are not indicative of SPAs, they're indicative of bad software. This problem existed before SPAs were a thing. Remember ASP.Net pages where the whole page is wrapped in a giant <form> and you couldn't use the back button most of the time? This problem also doesn't exist with properly built SPAs (e.g., by using <a> for links, using the history API correctly, and designing a sensible UX).

And certainly, if your app is sending 7MB of JavaScript over the wire and it's not a video game, something is very wrong--SPA or not.

By the sounds of it the circumstances make it quite hard for the state to argue that he was given effective assistance by counsel, since it appears the counsel was not only unwilling to follow the defendant's strategy and unwilling to stand down from the case but also the only argument he was willing to make for his client was ruled legally inadmissible, meaning his only contribution to the case was to render the defendant's preferred line of defence impossible and argue for his conviction.
