`&&` works in my NPM scripts on Windows 10.

Here's one line from my current project:

"build-intl": "npm run build-intl-translations && npm run build-intl-locales",

Perhaps this is something that didn't work early on. I've been using Node.js on Windows since before v0.10 and I have had some issues here and there but these days it's a dream.
Is pinboard.in still being supported?
There's a pretty clear confirmation bias here though. The persons asking the questions no one else thinks worth asking which don't lead to major breakthroughs are just "stupid" or "lack experience".
Saas is a business model and it has largely proven to be a successful one.

There is certainly some VR hype, but its relatively tame compared to anything blockchain related and there are also multiple companies (Samsung, FB, Valve, Sony) that have produced successful (though, not blockbuster level) VR products.

AI is certainly considerably hype-driven and there are definitely some far-fetched prognosticators in the AI camp (e.g. AI singularity evangelists), however, the technology that is commonly referred to as "AI" has been integrated into and greatly enhanced the function of many software products with crosscutting effects on multiple industries. We also don't see AI enthusiasts trying to drive hype among the masses and encouraging them to get in early and put money into AI.

Blockchain tokens have demonstrated unique and interesting properties and have been an ideal tool for facilitating darknet commerce, but that is where the usefulness has ended. On the other hand, the blockchain proselytizers spread all sorts of nonsense about blockchains completely reshaping the entire political landscape, liberating the people from the tyranny of government, ending all wars blah blah blah. This is a stark contrast to what blockchains have actually been shown to be good at doing, which is pretty much just being a bitcoin. With most technologies, development continues over time and people get excited about the technology as it becomes more and more capable over the years, with blockchains the opposite is true where the enthusiasts are constantly trying to exclaim why everyone should BUY BUY BUY, come on, don't get left behind, are you some kind of luddite? If you don't love blockchain tokens its likely that you're just feeling threatened by the blockchain revolution and how it is disrupting existing power structures, sorry you're bitter that you didn't get in on the ground floor, these negative reactions to the blockchain are clearly the results of jealousy surrounding the 3000% ROI that crypto-investors were smart enough to take advantage of.. blah blah blah

This is an unrealistic model of vision - we don't perceive the world as a tiny spot of clarity surrounded by a blur. We scan to compensate.

To say that we compensate for the blurring is quite different than saying we can do better (than CNNs?) with blurred images because most of the visual field is blurred. Did you mean to say that we are good at visual recognition despite most of the visual field being blurred? If so, I do not think it throws much light on what is happening in CNNs.
Irrelevant side-effect. Or are you arguing that was intentional strategy on the part of the lawyer?

In any case, a lawyer is supposed to act as one's agent, and in this case, it certainly appears that the attorney in question was acting incompetently when not directly contradicting the defendant's desires.

As frequently happens, this will probably turn on what amounts to courtroom etiquette. Should the defendant have fired the lawyer "earlier", given no clear definition of "earlier"?

Edit: was told my irony was too subtle. That last sentence could be rewritten as, "should a defendant whose council is not actually representing the defendant correctly be required to sufficiently understand legal procedure as to accurately intuit undefined deadlines that have emerged through caselaw on their own, from prison, in order to replace the rogue council?" Kafka would only grade this a C, I think.
According to https://charts.bitcoin.com/chart/price it first reached today's price on the 6th of December and peaked on the 17th of December. It has now taken an entire month to fall to the 6th of December's price.

To say the fall was quicker than the rise is at best cherry picking price point data and at worst an outright lie.

The insanity defense isn't used nearly as much as you seem to think it is, and never to the defendant's benefit. Do you think mental hospitals are nice places?

It isn't a "get out of jail free" card. It's a "stay in mental hospital instead, probably longer" card. Insanity pleas exist because the purpose of the justice system is, in principle, to improve society -- not to punish -- and prisons are in any case not equipped to incarcerate the insane.
In Markham Ontario. The city has made textile recycling a city program. http://www.markham.ca/wps/portal/Markham/Residents/Recycling...

5-7% of garbage is textiles, and could be diverted away from a landfill.

Markham has a lot of trash sorting rules (organic, recycle, textiles, trash, etc.), which we complained about when they were implemented. Honestly, i can't imagine not having them anymore. You'd be surprised how much of your waste (by weight) is organic and can be composted. Best part is, i throw it away like trash, but the city does the whole composter stuff most people can't be bothered to.

> pay $50/month in a heartbeat for access to a [...] Google type engine

Never. And definitely not at USD 50 per month. That is a huge amount for this, although I suspect you're a pretty rare customer and/or exaggerating. Broadband or Mobile service, Satellite TV, etc. all have packages that cost about this much. Even a magazine subscription is a fraction of this amount, Netflix is only about 5-10 dollars a month, isn't it? I could see people paying 10% of the Netflix (ad free TV) charge for an ad free search engine maybe so USD 0.50 to 1.00 per month, 1% of your suggestion...

Berlin’s sneakers that double as a train pass
I'm very adamant that if you really want to be an AI researcher, it starts with the mathematics. Multi-variable calculus, linear algebra,discrete math, probability and statistics are key. The classic books and courses others have suggested are excellent starting points.

I'll also say something here that isn't established, so I may take some heat. I believe there are two main paths in AI that will eventually converge to general AI: symbolic and sub-symbolic reasoning. If you go the path of symbolic reasoning, studying functional programming, theory of computation,type theory, natural language processing/compilers are in your future. If you go the path of sub-symbolic reasoning, you will be closer to optimization methods, neural networks, etc. It really depends on what you want to do. Ex: Computer vision is all about sub-symbolic reasoning, while natural language processing is heavily about symbolic reasoning. Of course advanced applications mix both! If you want to go after general AI, you gotta figure out how to tackle both forms of reasoning.

In the end, if you are serious about being an AI researcher, you will have to be a great computer scientist and mathematician. This is why it seems so difficult to get into. "Do I focus on working on messing with libraries and algorithms or the mathematical theory? And if I do both, how!?"

It's not easy, but just start and keep going. Others have provided great advice. One of my greatest joys in life has been coming to understand the marriage of computer science and mathematics under the banner of AI. It is really something exciting worth living for.

I agree these are important questions, and they apply equally to various offerings in AWS, Google, Microsoft, and others. It's not something specific to Datomic.
they wont ... or at least not any time soon

if you search online they did address this repeated request

in summary
they do it for money,
they dont know how to do it for money if its open-source,
they already contributed clojure to the open source community

someone already was vocally aggressive about this in a blog: http://z.caudate.me/on-whose-authority/

and rich hickey didnt like it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/73yznc/on_whose_au...

My personal take on this
its not that datomic is closed source or that it cost a lot of money

its that for its cost, its a valid option for fewer people

i use ms sql at work, and it cost a lot of money
but .. you can easily make the business case for it

for datomic ... it would be much harder

datomic is a niche product .. which is not bad .. it is just where its at
I used Headwayapp in the past too. However, they take ages to implement what users ask for. Noticeable seems to already have most of the requested features. Also, the roadmap looks promising.
"As someone who has spent a good amount of time trying to value Bitcoin, I believe that the total value of Bitcoin has the potential to be worth $180-$220B within the next 12 months. Given that Bitcoin now has a market cap of ~$166B, I believe Bitcoin is undervalued and would be a smart value buy."

... is a statement you will never hear

"It went up, then it went down, then it went up, then it went way down, so I think it will definitely go up/down now."

... is the entire internet today

This reminds me of the signs that show gamblers past roulette spins, so they can say things like "It was red 5 spins in a row, it's definitely going to be red again!". What else are bitcoin speculators looking at besides past price moves?
Yes, I'd agree with that but to me Lambda is much more than that. It's not only suitable for very short running tasks. In fact it is suitable for everything other than very long running tasks. We can build proper APIs and web services on top of lambda and literally only pay for the exact resources we consume. We never have to worry about managing infrastructure, handling auto-scaling, etc. AWS recently also introduced a "serverless" database offering that also comes up when you need it and then goes to sleep. It can scale "infinitely" as well.

I see majority of my workloads implemented on top of Lambda + ECS/Fargate/Kubernestes in near future. Lambda for all short running jobs (1-5mins) like image processing, emails, notifications, web services, APIs, glue code, state machines, etc and ECS for long running tasks like data processing, DB syncs, backups, video encoding etc etc.

On what basis do you make that assertion? Other comments have alluded to transfer learning which can be used to take advantage of small datasets, but independent of neural nets, small datasets can be quite suitable to train some useful SVM/linear regression models.

When exactly did $10,000 become "the psychologically significant" number for bitcoin? It's only been above 10K for less than 2 months and only above 1K for less than a year.[1]

We had to go to the US to get funding, and even then it's not an equity investment, instead it's convertible.

They guarantee the vendor a certain rate for a time window of 15 minutes or so. If the buyer makes a payment within this time frame and gets at least one confirmation (which is the buyer's gamble), BitPay pays the vendor immediately in USD (or other fiat). I guess they have USD reserves to make these payments and restock them by converting part of their Bitcoin holdings from time to time. If Bitcoin collapses completely, they blow up. Though even their risk is controlled because they can stop processing payments at any moment.

>if bots can produce 'worthy set of opinions' we would be totally useless

False. That's actually my ideal vision of AI, a machine that produces a worthy set of opinions, which a human then chooses from and carries to implementation.

To me sitting here at my computer, every person here on HN may as well be an opinion-generating bot. The value I get from reading your programmatically-generated comment is the epiphany that leads me to a breakthrough on what I'm working on. Because you, as a comment-writing robot, aren't working on my project. All you're doing is evaluating my work and making suggestions as to where to go next.

A bot that's capable of coming up with its own opinions and then carrying them out is what may render us useless. A bot that tells a doctor what diagnosis to make and shows documentation to carry out treatment is valuable. A bot that makes the diagnosis then carries out the treatment itself with no human involvement is kinda scary.
How to answer UX design interview questions
It's not a seemingly random (meaningless) perturbations that cause misclassification/misrecognition, but a very specific (meaningful) tuning of features that serve to trigger some misrecognition. The distinction here is whether the modified features themselves have semantic information (i.e. have a representation in the semantic domain with respect to the content of the image). In the case of graffiti illusions, it seems that it does: the misrecognition is due to a particular kind of coherence with the observers perspective and the relative positioning/alignment of the features in the image. Both perspective and relative alignment of features is meaningful.

I don't know anything about the ownership but I do see the value and good that is created locally. Sometimes doing what's good locally may help somebody local and still make somebody else stinking rich. That doesn't mean I should stop helping out locally.

At least with Value Village I can see that people are being helped. f I donate elsewhere the benefits are difficult (if not impossible) to see.
Very true, but it's also easier today to rent space on some one else network in most municipalities, and to scale up without significant capital investment. On course, you're right in pointing out that it depends on where you are geographically.

I think you've hit on the nub of the problem: what "causes no harm" to the client in the lawyer-client relationship, and are lawyers supposed to act like doctors?

It's in the interests of the judicial system that each client is entitled to a vigorous defense on a level playing field. That's the only thing that keeps the system working (as broken as it is). It's in the interests of the clients to do various things. Those things do not necessarily involve a vigorous defense or the best possible outcome for them.

If I signed a paper absolving my lawyer from damages, then asked him to punch me in the nose, should he? I don't see why not. If I did the same thing with my doctor, should he? Absolutely not.

This is the study of ethics, that is, the types of behaviors that professionals expect of one another as part of their profession. Ethically, I think the lawyer felt he should enter and defend the guilty plea. Whether or not that is the correct ethical decision -- and whether or not that decision is in the best interests of the judicial system -- is the interesting part.

Sorry - I didn't follow. What's inaccurate, that you can't fire your lawyer if you're (already) found mentally incompetent? Is that actually common in most states? I find it hard to believe.

You have a good point. Even if you set aside all the stuff about the client and the lawyer disagreeing, if your only strategy was ruled legally inadmissible then you did a pretty poor job, whether it was your client's idea or yours.

It sounds like your experience with SPA's is the exception, not the rule. I have never built a product or website using Angular or React that performs as poorly as you describe.

- Routing modules in all the major frameworks interact directly with the history APIs, and are fast as f*.

- There are only a handful of locations in the US where you can expect sub 100ms server round trips, usually they're around 300ms, but lets call that negligible. The real time spent waiting is usually if you're executing some complex database query over large data sets. This has nothing to do with SPA's vs Monoliths. Even so, it sounds like you just experienced bad code if you're waiting 6 seconds for a modal to open.

Also...React with React DOM is only 10kb larger than jquery, and when gzipped it's only 37kb.
Interpreted language? Common Lisp is typically compiled. Besides which, why is interpreted a particular advantage? e.g. Python was interpreted 10 years ago when I was using it, but Common Lisp felt far more flexible and powerful, because you can compile single functions with a key press in SLIME and seamlessly load them into your running (compiled) image... shortest feedback loop I've ever experienced. Maybe Python has caught up in the mean time, I haven't used it seriously for a long time though, so I don't know.

If the clothes are good enough to be used by a for-profit thrift store, they can be used by a non-profit.

The problem is the clothes that no one wants and end up in the landfill, and thrift stores don't fix it.
"No One Wants Your Used Clothes Anymore"

Notice that this is in the Opinion column. None of what's said here is even close to true.

Plenty of people shop at their local Goodwill or Salvation Army, where clothes are vastly cheaper than buying them new. Not only are they cheaper, but the clothes are often better quality.

Saying used clothes cost as much as new clothes and then citing an Indian blanket mill competing with Chinese manufacturers as evidence of this is disingenuous.
> There are times I'm envious of her ability to completely switch off.

I’m not. For me the hardest part is the switching back on bit. I’d rather not ‘switch off’ if it means having to ‘switch on’ a little while later.

I really don’t like weekends, for example. Not that I don’t like having two days off, but the fact that it is only temporary makes it somehow worse than not having it at all. Like you get a little taste of freedom and then it’s taken away. If given the choice I would rather work 7 shorter days than 5 normal days and a 2 day weekend.
In the UK a lawyer has duties towards both his client and the court. For a lawyer to lie to the court is a serious breach of his professional ethics. To represent a client he knows to be guilty on a not guilty plea is to lie to the court.

In reality there is usually wriggle room concerning motive or the suitability of the charge, say. But I know a lawyer who has turned away clients who have flat out confessed to him.
