Learning to improvise jazz seems different to Franklin's method, in that you don't listen to a jazz great's solo, put it aside and later try to reconstruct it; you have to play it exactly, writing it out if necessary, and play it over and over until it starts to become intuitive; until the muscles learn it.

I think that this Franklin method is basically how I learned. Jazz solos are not generally random; they are based on particular chords and/or scales/modes. The best improvisers tend to be good composers in general, and improvising is composing real-time. Get a good handle on what chord/mode to center you're composing around, and construct a jazz solo likewise.
Just to clarify, the article says that the self driving systems would be involved in 4-5 times more accidents without the safety driver intervening. The testing isn't actually resulting in high rates of accidents.
If I were a left wing group, trying to sow dislike of guns, this is exactly what I would do. Fits with the trump/russian thing, and looks kooky to explain. Why would russians care about our gun laws?

When renting a dedicated box, a VNC-like interface is required to enter disk encryption password, which could be intercepted by the host. Moreover, this has to be done on each restart. I look at dedicated box more as an upgrade from VPS.

For privacy, I think user encrypted email messages provide the best option.

At home self-hosting through VPN is a good idea. It would involve maintaining hardware, which I traded for low cost VPS. With a replica backup MX, I am not married to any hosting provider, and can hop without downtime.
there's also scaleway with their arm servers, those are dedicated.
Stackshare is more informative than a majority of the replies in this thread that aren't stating their startup's name or use case.
I don't have a problem with Chicago enacting gun free zones and stopping all people and vehicles entering the city for cavity searches to stop the flow of weapons. I think it would be an illuminating experiment.

Can you please elaborate a bit more on what was such a nuisance when working with this method. I'm currently building something out that is using this technique to (hopefully) save lines in code, dynamic user form generation based on with permissions, etc...
Welcome to the world of science.... where the data is scant but the results are impressive!

Seriously though, publish your data in the supplementary materials. Quit being afraid of failure or someone catching your mistakes. This is science, not figure skating.

No that is ignorance. Their is no such thing as a loanable funds market. I have studied this in depth and ad nauseum. Banks do not lend out savings. This was true in the era of the gold standard but is no longer the case with modern fiat money. Essentially, banks create money(deposits) out of thin air based upon rules and regulations they must follow. They have reserve requirements, however, these do not impede their ability to make loans/deposits because reserves may be borrowed.
Not a decompiler, but what would otherwise be called a "pretty-printer" of the AST or intermediate representation.

I've definitely got a use case for an XML version of this - a means of modifying a large file without affecting its indentation or re-ordering attributes in areas that have not changed.
But if you are familiar with a lot of the concepts and the basic syntax of Python, its wonderful. I never understood how all the magic methods in Python worked (and how nice they were) until I read that book.

I haven't finished it, but because of it am now able to write and read Python much, much better.
> This might be a somewhat controversial (or just reviled) opinion, but: why should search engine rankings care about page performance?

They'll care because faster results will generally mean happier and more engaged users who'll want to use your search engine again. This applies even more for mobile users where you might be waiting 10s of seconds before anything is rendered on a slow page.
Judging by the downvotes I guess we really shouldn't think rationally about things. Ok, lesson learned. Thank you very much :)

Actually NOT. I will not yield to those virtue signaling pricks!
Not saying it's the closest to what you have in mind, but you could look at the Emacs Tuareg mode for OCaml. Here is a reference card: http://www.ocamlpro.com/files/tuareg-mode.pdf

If you are a SLIME fan, you might notice that some of the key bindings to interact with the toplevel (the OCaml word for "REPL") are identical in Tuareg.

That said, although this will sound tongue-in-cheek: Having used Isabelle and Coq with their interactive editors, I find their approach better than a REPL. In these systems, you execute code directly from your source file, as opposed to (conceptually) sending snippets of code to a REPL. There is no concept of code you have written in the source (or the REPL) which is not synced up with the state of the REPL (or the source code, respectively). I wish other languages had modes like this. There seems to be one for Prolog, but I've never used it and don't know how well it works in practice: https://www.metalevel.at/ediprolog/
> Thousands of similar events, in a ratio with millions upon millions of respectful interactions.

No, the number of harassing interactions is in the millions, and the people who acknowledge it's a problem are the majority of people. You are in the minority by denying that this is a real problem.

> It really shouldn't be surprising when the proposed solution to the former is to endlessly harass those doing the latter and accuse them of sexism day in, day out

Did you seriously just claim you're being harassed by this article??

If an article about Julia's experience and not about you or directed to you is harassing you just by existing, how exactly do you think Julia feels about the people calling her names and demanding sex? Do you have any sympathy for what she or other women are going through online?

If reading the topic of sexism bothers you, what about helping to eliminate sexism and harassment? Maybe if we get rid of the sexism, the articles will go away?

> Whatever the solution is, it isn't going to be found in an abusing broadcast media like the internet discussions.

I don't understand this sentence. Where is the solution, and why don't broadcast media help? Public awareness on many topics is going up, due to the internet and broadcast media, for example, public awareness of science. Most people consider this trend a good thing.

Were you forced to read the article? I don't understand the suggestions that the internet & broadcast media are abusing you somehow. Maybe take a break and go outside?

Here are some more stats about the state of sexism in the U.S. and abroad, to help you understand how women, not you, are the victims of this problem.

Yea, this is pretty useless information unless you can provide a source for these claims. I find it very hard to believe that the complete elimination of anonymity on a social media platform resulted in exactly 0 improvement in measurable behavior.

I Googled both your anonymity and your fascism claims and couldn't find anything, but I'd love to learn more.

I totally agree. I'd love to see more languages supporting bidirectional code transforms.

I've used jscodeshift [0] to refactor large JavaScript codebases, and it's absolutely amazing. It's incredibly empowering to write code to update your code. For example: unhappy with your test assertions library? Safely migrate all your tests with a quick script.

The React team has a react-codemod [1] repo which has scripts to help you update to newer APIs. That means they can make changes and iterate on improvements without leaving people behind. Quite frankly, I don't see why more tools, libraries, and frameworks wouldn't do the same.

I'm supporting a family on a semi-remote job (work from anywhere, employer covers my airfare to our offices as needed), and when I unexpectedly parted ways with my previous employer last year, I doubled my compensation in 2 weeks. "F* you, pay me" is a legitimate operating philosophy as an employee when your skills are in demand. Also important to live below your means and have a 1+ year runway of savings to enable you to negotiate from a position of power, but that's a conversation for another thread.

Better said above, "Working for “passion” is for suckers."

Thanks for sharing your experience. I find it very hard to know when the moment to say "stop" comes, but yeah, I think I have to say it at some point.
It’s quite different. The bolsheviks believed that the collapse of capitalism was imminent, and that revolution would eventually sweep across the west even without their involvement. I always interpreted “We will outlive you” as the ideological belief in the long time superiority of their state. I’m not a historian, but the USSR was very much inferior to the US in strength in the 1950’s, and both Krustchev and Eisenhower knew as much, even if the american public. He didn’t have the strength to carry out the threat even if he’d wanted to, had that been his intention.
Opposite on me, I'm having a Mikrotik hAp ac and considering to use it as AP only then buy a Ubiquiti ER-X in front of it.
Critical thinking. Teach critical thinking and information literacy. Teach students how to make an argument. Stop trying to teach people 'facts' as an equivalent to teaching understanding.

Work to reduce the number of people (i.e., conservatives) who seek an purely objective world view that makes them comfortable and is actually reinforced by facts that disprove their beliefs.

I, as a STEM educator, blame a lot of all of this on the reification of STEM education and the devaluing of liberal arts and humanities.

I don't think that changing the environment inherently reveals someone's "true" character. You're just revealing how they behave in that environment. We are just too complex to be reduced to such a simple experiment as "anonymity" to discover our true nature.

I agree, so it really isn’t an example of the popularity of sum typing. Typescript does have support for user-supplied tagging, so you can also approximate it to some extent.

The article was written by Ross Marchand who is "the director of policy for the Taxpayers Protection Alliance."

I was curious about who TPA was. According to http://www.energyandpolicy.org/renewable-energy-state-policy..., "The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) is an advocacy front group that is part of the Koch political network, and is largely funded by money funneled through the Koch-connected Americans for Job Security, Center to Protect Patient Rights (now called American Encore), and Freedom Partners."

So take that into account when reading the article.
Systems languages like C++ and C don't usually do error handling that way. You do have try/catch in C++ but folks often disable it.

And even if you don't disable it, out of bounds array access will cause segfaults, not exceptions (unless you're using some abstraction over arrays).
Interesting, thanks for the link!

Not sure I agree with this part though:

> What we know about AMP is that the technical standard in itself enforces good performance. For example, CSS is limited to 50KB and only inline, custom JS is not allowed (other than via an iframe method), and all images are guaranteed to be lazy loading.
Hence, this is why AMP pages load instantly compared to a “normal” web page. It’s enforced by the standard. Right?
Wrong.

If you're including several MBs of CSS and JS in a render blocking manner and even more MBs of non-lazy loading images (which really isn't unusual) you're going to have a significantly slower page. There's a lot of hate for AMP but those restrictions make a lot of sense.

I'm always amazed also at how slow cashiers can be. I worked at walmart nearly 20 years ago and briefly they had a bonus for speed. All of the "career" retail cashiers got pissed because new employees who had only been there for a couple months started making more than them, being twice as fast. Visiting walmart and some other stores when there are long lines can be excrutiating as I see cashiers just not caring about speed while wasting time of people in line. Customers should not be able to scan a full cart of items in self-checkout faster than the average cashier.

I read it. From his analysis it seems like the loss of data will rarely happen in the real world if you have a WriteConcern of Majority and you don't have a large latency between nodes.

One of the comments said that theoretically, that could also happen with any system if something happened between the time that it wrote to disk and the time it acknowledged it, you may have extra data.

There are times though that you care more about speed than reliability - ie capturing string data for an IOT device, logging etc.

There are even times that eventual consistentency is good enough. But definitely choose the right tool for the job. I wouldn't trust Mongo for financial data where transactions are a must.

And in my preferred language - C#, if you write your code correctly, you can switch out your Linq provider from Entity Framework to the Mongo driver for instance without any major code rewrite so you aren't stuck with your choice.
In that case, thank you for backing! I am currently replaying 1 on POTD, and enjoying every minute (I discovered it too late for the second Kickstarter, unfortunately).
The article seems to be trying to make some point about gun ownership, and it’s leaves out a significant issue we have with guns. It does not address accidental shooting injuries or suicides, it also does not address shootings where there is no death, but maybe that’s outside the scope of the article since it’s focused on murder.
I would recommend Streak CRM - fairly cheap and organizes our emails in a way that helps us focus on the right parts of our funnel. Flexible enough to act as analytics when combined with Excel and some manual counting.
It would do whatever you modified it to do. You don't have to run it as-is or have Google host the pages.

I agree that you'd lose some benefits, but it's still an interesting web framework.

> clamor for bidirectional parsing

I get this from Lua. "Everything to a bytecode and back again" ..
That's the beauty of Lisp: it's all very readable, because it's a real language, not a string-substitution preprocessor.

Yes, any idiot can write unreadable Lisp — but good Lisp is a work of art. The Art of the Metaobject Protocol should be required reading: it builds an entire object system, complete with classes and generic functions (multimethods), written in the language itself. It's a tour de force.
From everything I've read, it sounds like there's reasonable certainty, but that's admittedly anecdotal on my part and comes from mostly secondary sources.

I've read a small selection of the IC reports and declassified info as well that at least support the general tendency of the Kremlin to operate this way as of late.

I had such idea firstly, but there is an issue with popular providers like ".com"

It is also generally considered unsportsmanlike and in most cases does not contribute to the game or sport. It reduces the competition from, "Who is best at game strategy and mechanics?", to "Who is best at heckling away any real advantage their opponent actually had?"

For most online games I don't see how the latter could ever be considered an improvement to the game.
While there might be some valid solutions that can be conceived for the problem, I highly doubt the problem will ever go away.

People on the Internet use the veneer of anonymity afforded to them by the Internet to behave in a manner very different from a face-to-face interaction.

The chat box in the post isn't very different from being approached in a retail store by a salesperson. And while I'm sure retail salespeople receive their share of abuse/rude comments from customers for asking "Can I help you", I think it's a safe bet that abuse/rudeness is still way lower than the same interaction online.

When I read that article, I just felt sad. I'm probably a little older than the average HN'er -- the Internet didn't become "a big thing" until my 20s, and in my lifetime, I've seen how technology has undeniably advanced and changed the world for the better. But I often wonder whether that same technology has made people better or worse.
