> less well documented than most R packages

I on the other hand, find most R packages provide barely readable documentation. I can just hope that the vignette exists and actually explains the inputs/outputs.
I didn't downvote, but like the adjacent comment, I'm guessing you are being downvoted because you left a short, pithy, two-word comment without any explanation or justification as to why the two are apples and oranges.

HN has always been like this, at least in the 7+ years I've been on here. Short, one-word or two-word comments are generally not appreciated. People on HN like substantive comments.
Looks interesting, not sure if you plan to monetize, but I'd be cautious of Reddit's content policy
This is heavily disputed. I suggest you read both sides of the argument and say something constructive.
3 characters is still less than 280, right? It doesn't look like you're contradicting their claim in any way.

Could you elaborate a little bit more. I'm not sure I understand your point.

No one hears the lies once they're removed. That can be good, but it also might work to prevent more people from criticizing or exposing them and thus, even if only slightly, validate them in the eyes of liars. This might yield nastier lies in the future.
Tesla's own positioning has authority on the subject: their communication says "premium" cars. That's completely different than luxury.

Of course, that doesn't mean you are not right to feel prestige with a Tesla, and that's something important with luxury in general: what's luxury to someone can be absolute garbage to someone else. And quite often, premium products can be of higher quality than luxury products (luxury is often tied to quality, but most importantly brand history, hand-crafted parts, access to some social status, etc).
Errors in Robots: Expectations VS Reality
Oh, yeah, I totally understand that it's not useful diet advice. I have a desire to lose a few pounds, but that doesn't stop me from having a beer every night as I'm making dinner, or grabbing a piece of candy a couple of times a day while at work.
Thanks for the lighting tips. I'm actually taking some urban cycling classes next month. I think at this point I need knowledge and confidence to make cycling a part of my commute.

Does anybody knows if with JupyterLab I will be able to keep some code running, close the browser, and still get the output of the code afterwards?
For what I know, currently I have to keep the browser open if I want to capture the output of a cell.
If it’s an experiment, then one possible outcome is lack of success. Maybe you’ve learned it’s not a solution with a lot of demand. This comment is not intended as a critique of your work, just pointing out a possible outcome may not be the outcome you wished for.
But why would I want to use a government controlled blockchain? For me the concept of decentralization is essential to cryptocurrency.
You're welcome to stick with your pseudoscientific fad diets, it has no effect on my life.
I typically order a soda when out to eat instead of beer. I have noticed that I receive lousy wait service if I don't order a drink of some kind.
> Just think of the beliefs you hold dear. What would you do if someone produced evidence that you were wrong?

It is literally impossible to produce solid, well-supported evidence that homosexuality is a Satanic plot. It is exactly as likely as Flat Earth.

And you're still evading the question. Do you, or do you not, believe that dedicated gay rights activists secretly fear the above is true? Yes or no, please.
The article isn't really about that at all, it's a few questions with a diversity advocate. "Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man", har-dee-har, all the usual stuff you tend to come across when reading on this issue. Not that there's anything wrong with that, people just repeat the same points over and over and it can get a bit stultifying.

Regarding the headline, it doesn't (shouldn't) mean lowering the bar, but it does mean increased effort in recruiting. Both in looking in different places than before, and in convincing candidates that your workplace is a good one. It's not going to work to say oh, everything can stay the same and we can fix diversity/inclusion at the same time.

On that point, the way diversity programs currently work doesn't fill me with confidence that they are actually going to do much to help remedy the problem. There rarely seems to be any justification or basis upon which the methods are built. It just seems like people trying shit. Which is commendable and all, but I worry that in 10 years or whatever, all this "effort" will have been expended, the numbers will look about the same as now, and the question will be- what good was all that? And there are two ways to go from there: 1) we have to change our efforts to be effective, 2) let's stop trying. I worry that 2 will win.

First, we include the vitamins base on a per package basis and that feature pops up after you've taken the metabolic assessment.

Second, yes that's the first genetic differences we are accounting for. My cofounder and I are both female founders with a set of MTHFR SNPs and have had issues with proper methylation of folic acid and even cobalamin. We currently include methylated cobalamin, but have had issues finding manufacturers that provide methylfolate (and not other derivatives such as methyltetrahydrofolic acid).
You are mistaken about what the rules are in most states. To take one example, in California, you own the lane and cars cannot pass unless they can give you three feet of clearance.

I'm not going to argue with fanatics.
Tim Olyphant as Raylan Givens and Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder absolutely nailed their parts. Leonard expressed his appreciation for the actors and for the writers on numerous occasions. An amazing but underappreciated show.
Isn't "attention to natural dialog" one of the things Leonard says in this piece people should avoid? "Avoiding regional patois" is hardly something you can say about Coen films, some of which seem to exist entirely to showcase one particular patois or the other.
You don't actually need a full face motorcycle helmet, that's overkill for cycling speeds (and uncomfortable with exertion). I regularly commute to work by bike and after a bad fall where I almost landed on my face, I decided to upgrade from a normal helmet to a full face bicycle helmet. You can get a decent one for ~$150 and it'll give you some protection even if you fall flat on your face. Highly recommend as a normal helmet doesn't do much for your face and a lot of falls could result in facial damage.
You may enjoy reading Paul and Shou-Ching Jaminet's book _The Perfect Health Diet_. It includes an approachable survey of results for many supplements, as well as a considered take on why multivitamins seem less crucial than advertised.

One reason: metabolic interactions mean that proportionality matters, for example between A and D. Multivitamins are sometimes optimized for cost and pill size at the expense of this. Another reason is that people have varying baselines based on their diet, as well as how much micronutrient synthesis is happening in their gut. Because each vitamin (aka crucial micronutrient) has a dose-response curve, both too little or too much is bad; the book tries to chart out what is a good range for each and how you can achieve that through diet, lifestyle, and supplements. It is by no means a perfect book, but it is the best combination of approachable, credible, and well-researched information that I've come across.

The complexity of untangling these kinds of interactions is why nutrition research often seems to yield results that contradict earlier results. Biology is complex, but that does not mean progress in understanding it is impossible.

Known unknowns – zero-days in the wild
Well, That is a very interesting example of why we can't compare populations. Many posts on HN have highlighted just how cycling-savvy the Dutch are both as cyclists and as motorists. Arguably, a Netherlands specific comparison would tell us something about whether helmets improved outcomes, but they wouldn't necessarily tell us anything about the rate, because falls may be less likely in the first place.
It's more than a convention. It's presented as the default way to do it in the official docs. https://reactjs.org/docs/forms.html#controlled-components

Well, for that to be true, you'd have to believe things like propaganda and advertising are not effective.

But, we know that they are.
Nope, it posts the answers to the survey to:

which responds:

"Hello from Lambda"

At which point it shows me my "recommended" packages which are supposedly "tailored to my body". Picking one of those sends me to a payment screen.

This isn't shady or false advertising. This is an out and out scam.
First Land Plants May Have Sprouted 80M Years Earlier Than Thought
Good argument, but it is probably limited to the x86 architecture (and its contemporary grandchildren). In contrast, the OP explicitely mentions the Raspberry PI with its ARM CPU. This kind of RISC chips (more or less) secretly took over the world since virtually all mobile devices are equipped with such a SoC. It is common knowledge that these CPUs don't deliver the single core power of a desktop CPU but nevertheless parallelize. Without doubt it is worth in getting crypto fast(er) on such devices.
No, you're right, it looks like a Hyundai or Kia to me. Not exactly Chinese crap, but nothing out of the ordinary, until I recognize the logo and "wow, a Model S" :D
Haskell is not declarative, however, so the programmer actually has control over the evaluation order through ordering demands for the results of computations. It does, however, take a little longer to fully grok how lazy code evaluates compared to a simple left-to-right eager evaluation a la Scheme, so it can be a bit of a rough start (and many usually only decide to take the full time to understand laziness when they're in the middle of a critical issue due to it). However, a large domain of problems (for example, search) are more easily expressed in a compositional manner using laziness.
Thanks for all the downvotes; I seem to have hit a raw nerve here.

Opinions and value systems obviously differ. I've been a professional driver on and off for years and years, and I honestly couldn't care less about the finish of the dashboard, as long as it performs whatever it's supposed to perform.

My personal only reason, apart from the money, which I haven't got, for not wanting a Tesla (or any other modern high-end car, really) would be all the idiotic phoning home stuff.

The electric versus dead dinasaur question is settled beyond dispute. Combustion is twentieth century, period.
My first hard drive was a shared 10MB drive on a 'server' that 2 other people used. My diskless workstation (CTOS AWS for what its worth) had dual floppies where I held my source code and build. The tools were downloaded from the 'server'.
Oh boy, JCL... we had a couple of JCL gurus who understood it but the rest of is just kept hacking away at existing templates.

And CICS. But even worse than those two was a 1980s IBM business language called CSP ( Cross-System Product ). If you can imagine COBOL with all its limited expressiveness removed. I used to be elated when I opened a member and found it to be COBOL or C rather than CSP.
R notebooks are the bees knees and frankly I'm surprised Jupyter hasn't borrowed more from them. It's so much easier being in plain-text until render time, and the output is easier to manage because you can trivially decide what chunks you want to echo, evaluate, plot at 2x size...etc without any change to the interactive usage. Not to mention you get to retain your nice IDE features like good code-completion, doc lookup, version control...

I am excited for Jupyter Lab and it's a step in the right direction. But it feels a little bit like they're reinventing the wheel with some of this stuff. I would gladly pay money for a python copy of the R ecosystem with RStudio, R markdown, R notebooks, where everything just works great by default.
That's what local caches are for.
This is super controversial, but no need to use Jupyter.

I personally find that Jupyter feels like a hack compared to something like RStudio. You have to open a terminal and launch a web server?
Stride is a complete rewrite.
Did you notice the smiley ";-)" ? It indicated irony.
That's a great site, thanks. It's not common finding such artistic taste, programming/mathematical skill, and capacity to explain well, in the same person.
Assign and grade Jupyter notebooks
I've been noticing a lot of CSP talk lately, how CSP is the end-all be-all solution for lots of these types of attacks. Makes me think we should have more articles about how to properly implement a CSP!

Ritual human sacrifice, across history, is universal. However, in the Old World it became less common (and animal sacrifice more common — a possible explanation for animal domestication). Watson and others argue that Shamanism was different in the New World, as it relied on naturally occurring high powered hallucinogens (most of which are endemic to the new world) which produced horrifying visions, thereby affecting the broader culture. I find this a compelling thesis.
What works for one writer won't work for another. It depends on many factors, such as the audience or the genre of writing. It's possible to break these rules and have huge success. Some people like huge expository descriptions. Others like dialogue. Some like short and simple words. Others like complicated.

Just avoid slicks (d’oh!) and you’ll likely be fine. The only concession I’ve made to winter conditions is riding at slightly lower tyre pressure to get a larger contact surface. In snow it doesn’t make much of a difference, but on ice it works wonders.

As for the bronchitis, I’ve luckily steered clear - but a colleague of mine who had it good and hard a couple of times swear that since he started wesring a mask, he hasn’t had even a hint of it.
I dunno, we on the Enterprise side have always ponied up for the longer-lasting and far more expensive SLC based drives.
It actually can't. Instagram does use this protect java-script injection from extensions, but clearly injecting CSS is allowed.
Isn't this more a problem of billing than of SaaS in general?

But yes, I recently read that games make more money in general than even movies, books and music and most of them don't have subscriptions but one time payments.

This article doesn't make sense indeed, they are comparing a premium brand (by Tesla's own wording on their website) with luxury brands.

(true) luxury brands have a love/hate relationship with "high sales", because every sale that is made lowers the prestige of the brand (to quote Porsche's CEO, "I worry when I see two of my cars in the same street").

Knowing that, comparing a company that benefits from selling more with companies that benefit from maintaining prestige is absurd.
I've heard this before and intuitively it seems right, but only for certain gym cultures.

In the US almost everything is membership-based, so a paying member who doesn't show up is free money until they cancel.

But there are other places where it's more flexible, for example my gym has monthly passes, dailies, and 10x or 20x passes. The 20x is the best deal if you miss a few days a month due to travel.

None of this has any recurring billing.

I'm sure even that gym has a bump in monthlies in January and May/June but with their setup it seems much more in their interest to have everyone actually coming to work out, else they might just not bother to buy that next monthly.
Precisely. It's definitely working well enough that I've been using it for a while on all my machines. There are still quite a number of things to do† but I wanted to get this out, and at some point I just had to pull the trigger instead of endlessly postponing because of yet-another-thing.

I'll be polishing the landing page with more details for sure. What kind of information do you think would be most useful on the landing page?

This was my first thought as well. I've gotten decent at using photoshop to do this with generous use of cutouts and indexed color modes to custom forced palettes, but it's a very laborious process.

Playing with this, it's very effective for solid-color graphics as it quickly settles in on a nice limited palette. The line-work also does a reasonable job, limiting the manual fixing to areas where lines converge and so forth.

I'm working on writing up a post for /r/crossstitch comparing some different methods, so check over there in a while if you're interested.
Not sure where you got that feature since that feature is not yet available online. We can generate a list of dosages that customized base on your body composition.
Haven't used Stride yet but as someone who hates always-on chat I could see myself really appreciating its deep work oriented features: mute notifications, allow others in the channel to mark things as "task", "decision", "outcome" so you can go back and find important things you missed while deep working.

I couldn't agree more. I was a part time fitness instructor for over 10 years, ate like crap but worked out intensely between teaching, weightlifting, and training for runs for at least 10-15 hours a week. My body fat percentage never went above 10-12% (measured with calipers 6 points).

Within 5 years after stopping teaching and letting life get the best of me, (career, marriage, instant family with step children, asthma getting bad) my weight and all of the other indicators start getting out of control - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.

Because of asthma and a few other things, I couldn't work out how I use to my cardio vascular system won't let me and I needed to eat better - not just less - to get healthy again.

I gave up on the heavy cardio stuff I use to do and started back working out by focusing more on exercise that required muscular endurance - lifting weights, walking briskly at a high incline, and the elliptical at a high incline and steep resistance.

I noticed a big difference. My weight started coming down, I actually enjoy exercising and it takes a lot more discipline for me to take a day off from exercising than keeping to my schedule.

On the food side, since I'm acutely aware of how much exercise I have to do burn calories, it doesn't take much discipline not to eat too much and not wanting to die from self inflicted causes (eating crap) it helps me stay motivated to eat correctly.

On the other hand, if I live my whole life completely giving up pleasures that are "bad for me", it's not only a mental drain but what type of life is that? It's just like spending all of my time working and not being able to enjoy the money I earn.
Arguments:

1. Wearing makes you less cautious

2. Car drivers think ‘you’re protected’ thus make larger risks

3. Helmets are inconvenient to carry around at your destination

4. It hampers the development of saver bicycle road situations, since ‘the cyclists are already protected’

I’m dutch, driving without a helmet since forever (started at 2 years old). Most serious accidents on the road that I know of are broken colar bones, broken hips and broken wrists. You really need a strange fall the land on your head. I guess with a head-on collision perhaps?

[warning: unfinished thoughts]

On the far end of the "technological unemployment" worry spectrum are those who really believe that AI techniques will yield robots that can do essentially all human work better/faster/cheaper than a human could.

When discussing that possibility, I wonder if our current statistics and vocabulary are really sufficient? After all when you talk about employment, wages, productivity, etc we're thinking about governments and corporations. We cannot forget that governments and corporations are human power structures and one of the biggest forces pushing them forward is the desire of the rich and powerful to become richer and more powerful.

If AI really begins to threaten the supremacy of its human masters, don't you think those same masters will suppress the AI and try to keep the status quo? After all a CEO with a billion dollars in the bank doesn't come to work just to collect his/her paycheck, they come to work to be the boss.

Modern humans have been shown to be strongly, and possibly entirely, motivated by relative wealth and power. The millionaire among billionaires feels poor, the wage earner among the unemployed feels rich.

So maybe, however inefficient, we will continue to employ each other only because it feels good for the employer to retain power over the employee? Maybe we will reject a super-efficient robot-produced future because we don't know how to form a society unless it's founded on a human power structure. Maybe we'll find things for each other to do just so that we can make each other do them.

I agree that if you enumerate all of my current material desires it's possible that a future robot will be able to fulfill them. But I cannot anticipate the societal evolution of desires and how much power over other people plays into that.
Maybe this will motivate the otherwise great pycharm team to improve their product's dismal Python jupyter notebook support
