Also the modular packages they have built are amazing. They have a node package called @jupyterlab/services which lets you write typescript code for your own libraries that can then call the Jupyter Server.

An example of using JupyterLab services is provided on their GitHub:

https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/tree/master/package...

Because of the way they built their packages I have been able to stand on the shoulder of giants and build the following tool:

I am very grateful to the JupyterLab team. They have built something brilliant.

Is there evidence to support this? what constitutes a problem in your mind?

> Children (and adults) do not engage with the real world or each other

Based on my observations with my kids schools this is far from true. Most kids are engaged and talking in the "real world" whatever that is.

In class, kids aren't supposed to talk. if they plop out there latest smart phone for some fun and there's a rule against it, then they'll get in trouble. Just like the last generate did when they brought in cd players, walkmans, yo-yo's, etc.
At this point, I disagree that it's because of the incentives. In fact, at the Model S price point, it probably had nothing to do with incentives, which are (if you're 'lucky', 10% at $100k pricepoint).

First to market, yes. And first to make it 'cool'. I have a hard time thinking BMW bolting batteries into a car will take away from the novelty factor of the Model S. It's not just about propulsion, it's everything -- the styling, the electronics, the early adopter thing, street cred, etc.

It's "do you want to buy one of half a dozen old school cars, or this new COOL thing?"

Show HN: Goose.us – Another blog from a wannabe philosopher
So I made a blog site, I imagine that isn't overly exciting or novel around these parts, but since HN is the best community I'm aware and apart of, I figured I'd try to show it off here anyways.

I'm feeling particularly happy for finally using my sweet domain that is my also my handle:

https://goose.us/

I'd love to get any opinions on readability, accessibility, performance, and any other feedback on the web technology aspects.

I did my best to keep it accessible and performant. The about page has details on the technology I used to make it, but TL;DR - Hugo, a blank starter template, some custom shortcodes, typebase css, and hand-coded minimal vanilla JS.

I'd also love feedback on my first post, which is about The Purpose of Life, though I think you may find it different from your typical "The Purpose of Life" post.

https://goose.us/thoughts/the-purpose-of-life/

I draw a lot from the work of Sean Carroll in his latest book, The Big Picuture, as well as some awesome MinutePhysics and MinuteEarth videos.

Thanks for any consideration I may receive and even if I receive none, I owe the HN community much appreciation for being one of the best forums for developing my thinking/writing/discussion skills.

You live there? What are the leading theories of what it could be? The article didn't seem to lock in on anything.
FTLs are nonlinearly more efficient with more free space (like how GCs are more efficient with more heap available), but exactly how much extra endurance this translates to would depend on the particular SSD and generally isn't documented.

For example, Micron has an 11 TB SSD with 16 PB endurance and a 6.4 TB SSD (that may have ~11 TB of flash) with 35 PB, so giving up 40% capacity gives 120% extra endurance.

I have little background about the cultured meat, and this link made me curious: wouldn't cancer cells be good candidate cells for creating this type of meat?
I think part of the problem with the memo is that it was written for an audience that was unbiased, not for a hostile audience. This means that when you read it after here how bad it was, you brain is primed to pick up on the phrases that are directly or indirectly offensive to women and you skip over all the qualifiers. If you pretty much agree with the basic premise you miss the offensive stuff and notice all of the qualifiers.

It reminds me of all of the issues in the Ferguson shooting. Instantly we had "Hands up, Don't shoot" and "Criminal" being called by both sides. The stuff that is divisive goes viral and people on both sides shout about it.

Alas, because it was imperfectly said by Damore, it is no longer safe to openly discuss if the gender gap in tech might be influenced by biology.

I can understand why you'd feel that way, but uh, next time keep that stuff for when the person you're responding to isn't asking, but only making claims.

Yeah, that's the one part of the article that seemed off to me. For my low-touch, no-credit-card-up-front SaaS product we get about 25% trial-to-paid conversion rate. I think it's possible we're above average, but we're not doing 10x better than "extremely good" peers.

Maybe there's just so much variance that it's impossible to give a good benchmark, but even still, 2% seems low.

I also suspect that marketing has a lot to do with it. A company that's much better at marketing than product will be better at getting someone to sign up for a trial and worse at converting them, so maybe their numbers would be down in the 2% range. I feel like I'm the opposite (bad at marketing, but pretty good at product)
I don't dispute any of that. But French is still a better language for writing poetry (IMHO).

I have been told a story that some CS courses trying to upscale to FP as the birth language have people teaching inside the IO monad to preserve imperative order, such that the graduates come out coding a strongly typed language almost completely bound in imperative systems design.

I feel the moments of clarity for me around the roles of monadic elements in a program are like brainwaves which vanish as soon as I try to grasp them. Right now, I'm stuck on the idea my FP colleague described as the boundary of the real-world, the thing which follows time order and cannot be gone back to in time or sequence. Most FP example fragments do things inside a domain of existence which is bounded solely by the variables of the problem. Solving a fibinnaci for some n thousand integers left in memory is distinctly unlike processing a UNIX pipe sequence yet the latter is said to be very like functional composition.

I tend to think that weight loss (or keeping your weight) works if you follow a set of rules (and form certain habits). - I lost twenty pounds some years ago by following a German author's book (which is titled "Schlank im Schlaf", or: "get lean while you're sleeping"). Basically it recommended having three meals, not eating anything in between those meals, then: eating 100g of carbs in the morning, 100g carbs for lunch, almost no carbs in the evening, instead high protein for dinner. - I followed the rules very strictly. It was basically a 2000 calories a day diet (although the author says not to count calories). What made me lose weight was in fact self observation, getting in control of what I eat and avoiding processed food. The first days were extremely tough. Not eating sugary things felt like a drug addict who tries to avoid drugs. After some time I had inner peace, felt in control, not only of my diet. -- When I read about "do not count calories", I am skeptical because I do observe that those who are desperately in need of a diet do not have a notion of what kind of food has how many calories. They know almost nothing about nutrition. Learning some about that is a good starting point. Also many eat to compensate stress or inner voidness. And getting that straight has nothing to do with nutrition. What they need instead is meditation, intellectual challenges, phyical activities and some more.
I think you may have it backwards. In SaaS high-touch refers to the actions the company takes on an account, not your engagement with the product.

Self-serve items are generally considered low-touch. Knowledge Bases, Documentation, Instructional Videos—these are all things that are created so the company doesn't have to spend time with you. Support is considered a fall-back when none of those options work.

High-touch means a Customer Success Manager is assigned to your account. Generally the CSM will try and setup monthly or quarterly check-ins to:

—Troubleshoot any problems

—Spot and address churn risks before they arise

—Inform the customer about product changes

—Handle renewals (Although this is sometimes a sales function)

If you're paying $10/mo and not sending Adobe any support tickets, it sounds like you're the perfect low-touch customer.
> With strong typing, you can analyze the code and automatically increment the semver versions based on public API changes.

This is nice, but should be noted does not absolutely prevent missing backward-incompatible changes; that a function has the same signature does not mean that it has backward compatible behavior.

(With a rich enough strong, static type system, used well to start with, you might hope that all meaningful behavior changes would manifest as type changes as well, but I don't think its clear that that would actually be the case even in a perfect world, and in any case, its unlikely to be the case in real use even if it would be in the ideal case.)
Can you located it -- it's coming from the ground? air? direction?
Somewhat related would be Atmos clocks. I see them on eBay listed for surprisingly low cost.
Slack kind of found the holy Grail of SaaS sales where they get a foot in the door like a low-touch SaaS product where employees just start using it. But then they convert this into a high-touch business with low churn after the employees convince their boss to start paying.

They basically have outsourced enterprise sales to their customers.
Wonder if you can train yourself to ignore it.

The same way some fucked up people train themselves to ignore smoke detector chirps. I've known a couple of these people in my life. They managed to live with a chirping detector for weeks on end and when you bring it up they think you're making mountains out of molehills.

This title is misleading (no one has spent a dollar as far as I can tell) and the article gets several facts wrong.

Sorry for this I am not experiencing it so maybe I'm completely wrong but these people seem to be overblowing this a lot. Health effects? I mean, it's a hum. Sure you can't find the source but heaters hum, ACs hum, cars going past hum, bass hums. Like how is it possible that it's this huge of a problem? When a humming stops I tend to actually miss it because it becomes too quiet. I tend to hear the air conditioners or heaters at work all day every day for at least 8 hours. Is this hum much much louder than that or what?

It sounds like you won't see the bug unless you commit a change to your own project's go.mod to change a version number. Assuming you test your changes before committing, your repo can never be broken by someone's commit to a different repo.

On the other hand, whenever you edit a direct dependency's minimum version, it could upgrade any other dependency via a cascade of minimum version upgrades. (In which case, don't commit it.) This keeps your team moving, but it might make dependency upgrades harder.

For example, it's up to each repo's owners (for applications, at least) to notice when there's a security patch to one of its transitive dependencies, and generate and test a commit. Someone will need to write a tool to do this automatically.

If the test fails: now what? I guess that's when you need to look into forking.

Supplements feel like one small step above homeopathy

I've interacted with hundreds of elite level athletes who are always looking for an edge. These athletes do not depend on supplements and many avoid them. I would expect these athletes to be on the cutting edge and results to trickle over to 'normal' people. If these athletes who are more in-tune with their bodies than most are avoiding supplements than am not seeing a lot of upside for the average person. If you are deficient or have a medical condition then sure, but the focus should be on healthy eating. Supplements are not going make up for eating poorly and likely just results in expensive urine or placebo effect for most people.

It's hard to debate since everyone is using anecdotal evidence.
