> It's presumptuous to assume "community A is smarter than community B"

You can e.g. Rocket scientists VS. Janitors.

Note what I am not saying (which people might take offense to) is "you use Vue not Elm, so you are dumb". Nope of course that isn't true!. I am saying in aggregate, due to selection biases etc, Elm attracts smart people. A lot of really smart people will stick to popular frameworks and not use Elm. Some bad programmers might use Elm for some reason. Aggregates are what I am talking about.

> "what are third party libs like?", "how active are people in this community?", "how active is the SO and other forums?". These are actionable questions.

These are good questions.

Another question though is: how much do I trust another library to not have bugs? Given Elm's design vs. vanilla JS, I'd go for Elm. That confidence extends to "How much do I trust a Library I knocked up over the weekend to solve an previously unsolved problem in Elm".

A) I wasn't referring to the methods in the article, instead, from the previous poster. B) The way I mentioned, is 100% legal, C) its also useful to mere mortals.
I'm not sure if this backs up your point or not. But I was blessed to build, using JupyterLab packages a quick and easy GUI creation tool for python packages. It lets you create the GUI itself in Markdown.

https://github.com/SimonBiggs/scriptedforms

The majority of that was built with typescript.

But, the reason it is so useful is because it can run Python.
These are amazing.

Thanks! When customers receive their package, they are informed of their dosages across the supplements. We've been getting requests to include an online feature of your supplement dosages being viewed - and are trying to get it out directly on our site ASAP.
I agree with your characterization, which is not at all equivalent to "What a Monad does is to force sequencing by creating a data dependency".
any using e bikes? I keep pondering it, it's ~20km for me to commute one way. Luckily there's bike path nearly the whole way, but seems on the edge of being practical. One advantage is there is no extra charge for taking a bike on a train if I end up with bike troubles.
Don't need the standby server, just use automated backups.

You also don't need the linode running nginx, with so few users put it on one server.

Finally wordpress should be $5/month or less.

Right there you could drop at least $15 / month.

Posted on a site running MzScheme, that probably tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people, read often, get useful info from, that is of help to them in the real world, and that many people get jobs from.
Great was hoping you would support it. Loving azure notebook.

Mmm. Those are traditional, longer trials though, as they tend to be longer services. Do you think it would work on a shorter timescale for short courses?
I would totally be interested in hearing more about this. My email is jonnynova00 at gmail
Always happy to chat if you’re interested! tom [at] raisely.com

Also thanks for the heads up I’ll have a look at what’s causing that.
To be fair, Hipchat is missing a lot of features that Slack has.
I think you have a typo (or mobile font problem) on the homepage. "platformin" on Chrome Android.

On my morning commute it's not bad, because mornings are cool. If I put on a windbreaker due to the chill, then I get a little bit sweaty. Once I stop riding, the sweat naturally dries after a few minutes. I don't need a shower just because I perspired somewhat.

If I'm going down to San Jose I'm probably meeting friends at a bar or going to a show or something. Hardly the end of the world to work up a mild sweat and then my body dries after I stop, then as I start to feel a chill, I put warmer clothes on. It's not an issue.
Yes,

It's worth noting Leonard is described as "hard boiled crime writer" and his rules for paring down writing to the minimum seem for the kind of writing that moves the reader relentless forward, not wasting any time to "stop and smell the roses". That legitimate approach - just not the only approach.

It will probably also have planned obsolescence.
Many of your observations feel like lurking bugs in your py2 which only exposed because you moved to py3. Others felt like the kind of design decision you regret irrespective of language binding, like depending on an externally sourced component from a company with bad customer engagement.

I still struggle with u'string' and use of encode() and decode() in the presence of input streams from the web which don't identify encoding, are probably Microsoft isolatin1 and get uplifted into UTF-8

I believe your code would benefit from py3 typing but have no personal experience of it: I just observe many of your problems felt like weak type binding problems across boundaries.
They were, but I unbanned them after seeing the comment and looking at the recent history. We garbage collect unnecessary bans that way, although it's sporadic and ad hoc.
I am so interested in the modern car for it's sensor suite... but so uninterested for it's cloud features. My hope is, when I next buy a car, that I can still disable the manufacturer's network connection, even if I have to go under the hood or behind the dashboard to do it.
I don't ride erratically because it freaks people and it's impolite.

It depends how many people are around, and on the entire situation.

I've had sketchy situations when stopping at stop signs. The drivers in my area don't expect cyclists to stop at stop signs, since most don't.

So in that case following the rules made me more unpredictable, and confused everyone involved.
The bike is great. VSF fahrradmanufaktur. Used to be an organisation, run by a few hundred smallish bike shops who worked together, but was bought up by a company later.

Still great bikes. Steel frame, sensible parts that work well together (none standing out as a customer magnet and coupled with lower-quality other parts), sensible prices. And a really beautiful color scheme.

I have a very similar one as the author (or maybe the same?). But I really should have gotten the sister model with hub gear and chain case.

That's just a USPS example. Anybody can open up their own private mailbox center. At worst, you have to live with some address standardization software sticking a "Unit" in front of the number.

There are different types of gyms. 24 hour fitness, for example, will happily keep charging you if you don't come in, and if you try to cancel over the phone often tries to force you to come in and do that in person (I'm not sure how much of this part is corporate strategy or poorly incentivized branch behavior).
Maybe they gave thought to their own ethics, but they likely didn't consider implications of being useful for someone without said ethics.
Yes, for things "far" away from the Earth. They said they started their simulation on Feb 10, the launch was on Feb 6, to the roadster was far enough away at that time to ignore the Earth and Moon being separate. I didn't see where they mentioned it in their paper, but they likely started with either published location/velocity data, or used observations to compute its position and velocity for the start on the 10th.
This makes no sense. There's a limit to how densely people can live, and I see no reason bicycle infrastructure can't support all of those commuters, even if it has to be expanded somewhat.

We DEFINITELY know roads can't scale enough to handle the cars, but when each person takes up a tiny fraction of the space they take up now in their cars (plus closer following distances due to lower speeds), there's simply no problem.

I've commuted in places where there is lots of cycling, for example Munich, and yes, you have 'normal' car-like traffic (sometimes in a row of 10 bicycles and you might have to wait for faster bikes to pass before your chance to pull out to pass) but it's not gridlock like in cars on the streets.
With strong typing, you can analyze the code and automatically increment the semver versions based on public API changes. Elm does this AFAIK. Reduces the amount of mistakes that are possible.
same recommendations whether I put in my actual weight or 350 lbs.

combine the outright lie of customization with the baseless claims (10X?) and I have no choice but to be extremely disappointed in the ethical choices of you and (sadly) ycombinator for associating themselves with you.

The supplement industry is mostly scams, silicon valley is supposed to do things "differently". Obviously that is not the case here. Same shit business model making money off of ignorant people, different wrapper.
I’m thinking they get a way bigger margin with this buy and they do not need to declare that to the consumers, huge win for retailers. You wouldn’t be able to pull this off in the US without major buyer bewares.
Please point out where somebody genuinely puts an effort to found math on category theory? The standard way to do so is set theory, and the more recent hype is type theory.

Category theory in itself is pretty useless. Categories are a bit like graphs in that: they are too general.

There are serious mathematical theories using category theory as their language (mostly commutative algebra and whatever it touches) just as there are serious theories using the language of graphs, but in both cases the meat of the math is not in the underlying language.
The extension framework means anybody can build something like that. The beauty of it is that because that feature is so useful it's almost guaranteed someone will make it at some point.
I've been riding with a pannier on my back rack (instead of using a backpack) for 4 of the 6 months. I still get that "what did I forget?" feeling when I pull out onto the road. It's so amazingly freeing not having the weight tied to my back and the sweat that goes along with it.
If someone is going to implement AMP templates they have the ability to implement better HTML in the templates instead.

It does matter that users are on your physical servers. It affects referrers and copied/pasted links, which affect brand recognition and SEO. Using AMP also puts a giant back button on your site that takes users back to the search engine results rather than deeper into your site. Many people do not want that.

I don't think that airbnb is an ad-funded site. Even if it were, do ad-funded sites really want a 3rd party dictating how they monetize their sites? If so, I doubt that they are thinking through it all the way and considering the long-term effects.
I think cultural change when enforced by laws, while quicker on the surface, results in a lot of resentment. The discrimination becomes stronger and more difficult to detect.

Businesses should be free to hire who they want.

I'd love to see more female mechanics, electricians, carpenters and plumbers. In the US at least, those are well paying jobs.

And yes, more males should consider nursing and dental hygiene. Those are well paying jobs as well. Female nurses see and do some incredible things on a daily basis that any male would have no trouble respecting and admiring.
AMP has a whole suite of technical limitations that are unrelated to the problem being solved. For example they limit pages to 50k (pre-gzip) of unlined CSS rather than allowing stylesheets to be linked. This is not how sites are generally built, and at least for me, meant rebuilding large parts of my build process.

Google engineers seem to have a hard time differentiating between a platform and a framework. PWAs and suffer from the exact same problem. They’re great if you build a greenfield product to their exact specs, but difficult to use otherwise.
> Learning the DNA regulatory code of the genome

This is so interesting. I cannot imagine what kind of language evolution chose to build on top of DNA. There must be some paradigm it maps to, and it's going to be incredibly interesting to see if a compiler/interpreter can be made for DNA, along with higher level languages that compile down to it.
In the 1980s, people used libraries and maintained already existing code bases in "real-world software development", too.

Computer science education isn't just vocational training for software development gruntwork, though.
I wholeheartedly believe you are doing your children a disservice and setting them up for failure by homeschooling them. I'm sure you have your reasons and I'm sure you think they are good ones but I honestly can't believe it's what's best for them. If you want to work from home work from home there are a number of online resources/job boards to do this (WeWorkRemotely comes to mind) but don't homeschool. I honestly can't think of anything worse than being cooped up all day with a single parent and then not being able to go out because dad has to work in the hours he isn't teaching. Homeschooling is bad enough on it's own but further removing the ONLY parent from society? Dear god... I can count on 1 finger the homeschooled adults I know that are capable of non-awkward social interactions, don't do that to your kids. To be perfectly honest if I was a judge your spouse would have to be a real piece of work to give a stay-at-home homeschooling father with no current job custody.

Sorry to be so blunt but if you go forward with your stated plan I think you are making a huge mistake. I understand how parts of this comes off "Who the fuck is this guy to be telling me how to raise my children?" but I think if you were to poll people (on HN or elsewhere) you would get a similar response re: homeschooling.
Only in the US. In Canada the Volt continued to outsell the Bolt all year. Then again, with supply limited it's hard to make any kind of analysis.

But they're confusing to people and also GM doesn't market either of these cars.

We definitely notice this feature is lacking in the customer flow. We have a dosage generator in our backend that our customer received but we will push that feature to be more transparent in our metabolic assessment.
Shower beforehand, fresh clothes every day, sport underwear to cool efficiently (it is not visible under typical office clothes), selected clothes to ventilate _gently_ whole body, but to look like normal casual clothes, buff at face in case of cold weather, etc.
Labor is the active force, and land is the passive force. Production cannot happen without both.

As for everyone being rentiers, I'm not sure I see the problem. Everyone being rentiers ensures a minimum standard of living, allowing us all to share in the progress of civilization. But really, land value taxation itself raises the "margin of production" even without any kind of redistribution.

The mention of trickle-down seems like a non sequitur.
In the short-term I found that eating a piece of fruit whenever I craved sweets was a good replacement. Over time the fruit started to taste sweeter and sweeter (in a good way), and junk foods started to taste overly sweet. You can taper down the fruit later if you think you're eating too much of it. I think you also need to minimize non-caloric sweeteners for this to work.

Long-term, I took a food I was already interested in eating daily and made the minimal tweaks necessary for me to think of it as dessert. In my case it was oatmeal: adding 0.5T/11g of blackstrap molasses and 0.5T/6g of brown sugar to 0.5c/40g oatmeal (dry weight) makes a complex, subtly-sweet treat. It's ~200 calories total (~50 from molasses & sugar).
Cool. Good luck with the course and if you have any questions, feel free to email me or post an issue (details are in the course).
There's good buzz and bad buzz. Or maybe I should say constructive and destructive. It's possible for the mind to be so flooded with ideas and solutions and other creative thoughts that it can be difficult to focus and complete any one thing before the next demands attention.

Either way, gaining some control or having some tool to choose when to quiet the noise can be very beneficial.

“The tricky thing, though, is in order to get good at machine learning, you need to be able to do deploys as fast as humanly possible and repeatedly as humanly possible. Deploying a machine learning model isn’t like deploying a regular code patch or something like that, even if you have a continuous deployment system.” -Josh

Sounds a lot more like a DevOps problem then a Machine Learning problem to me+. But really, in general, this is something any one doing any sort of software deployment should be doing to begin with. If I encountered a continuous deployment system that doesn't already do this, then I usually take the time to get it as close as possible. Still haven't gotten anywhere close to Netflix's level, maybe some day.

+ This is the buzziest comment I have probably ever made.
You’re completely right.
This belongs in the same class of disgusting PR moves to grow userbase as Zuckerberg offering for Xie to name his firstborn son.
It's a good question. In my climate, eight months out of the year it's impossible to ride for more than twenty minutes without getting sweaty, but I find that most days don't need a full shower to freshen up. Just take a washcloth with you, get it wet, and do a once-over when you change clothes. Re-apply deodorant and you're fine.
There are still a lot of days (almost every day in the height of summer) where it's so hot that just being outside is enough to make you sweat, and after any significant time on the bike, you will continue sweating bullets even in the frigid office air conditioning while your body cools down. In that case, arrive a little early, work at your desk until you stop sweating, and then go wipe off and change. You won't smell bad while the sweat is fresh (as long as your bike clothes don't accumulate a vile odor — be careful about this.) Cleaning off before you stop sweating is a mistake.

Alcohol-based wet wipes are the nuclear option if you still have odor issues. Obviously they're not very green to use every day, but having some on hand can give you peace of mind if you're afraid you might unexpectedly need to go face-to-face with upper management or a customer.

The primary function of Atlassian software is to say "Access denied." You tell Greg he needs to give you permission to do whatever. Greg says he'll do that after he gets your self-assessment. He later writes on your self-assessment receipt that you're a whiner lacking self-motivation.

I've used Confluence for two years. It's slow and the editor is buggy. The primary function is to prevent me from making a document public. I've used JIRA for 8 years. JIRA's primary function is to send email.

I'd say your assessment is accurate.
>the manufacturer's network connection

is that actually a thing for cars without a subscription? i'd imagine they forgo the monthly cost of a data connection (that they're not getting paid for), and download any data off the car when you take it in for servicing instead.
I once worked for a company that used this language for it's main software product (for insurance claims management):

https://www.dbcsoftware.com/index.html

It was very, very similar to COBOL, and was the closest I ever got to using COBOL.

My work there was involved with developing an internally used piece of software written in Visual Basic, so I wasn't involved in the main product, but at one point they wanted to run everyone who did any kind of programming thru a set of training sessions on the language.

I found that it was just -barely- possible to build a version of Breakout using the language; it wasn't great, but it did work.

Later I used some of the extended functionality that was built into the language for network access to build a simple HTTP server; nothing fancy of course, just something to see if it could be done.

I am not sure how I feel about the language - or about COBOL in general, beyond it's legacy/historical value...

Probably, though that might lead to inconsistent state. There are a lot that could be done, like actually recording the messages and replaying them, or broadcast to have for example a live "static view" when peer programming. But for this feature to be pushed forward you either need Volunteer time, or Donation to the project to hire devs/managers/designers,...

There are multiple bike bridges/undercrossings across 237.
101 has bike bridges just south of 237, another in Palo Alto (which I use every day), and another up between Willow and Marsh roads in Menlo Park, then another in Belmont. There's also a 101 undercrossing that is seasonal, just south of the bike bridge in Palo Alto.

Those are just the areas I know.

It is truly an amazing place to ride. Generally flat, very nice weather. Even in the rain I don't mind the ride, but I have to wear waterproof shoes, and I bought waterproof pants and a jacket.

The overall historical narrative that he presents, about specific factors like capital punishment and infant mortality, is generally valid. But Pinker's use of historical evidence is at least as flawed as the issues with his statistics. Better Angels literally appears to be based on a group of research assistants, without archival training, being let loose in a library and tasked with cataloguing all examples of violence and mortality throughout history.

This leads to an obvious sample bias and to Pinker basing the bulk of his argument on some truly questionable, non-peer reviewed secondary sources. It is frankly the kind of approach that would get called out if done by an undergraduate history major.

And I say that as someone who thinks Pinker is a fantastic writer, and who is sympathetic to much of the argument of Better Angels. But it's hard for me not to see some level of condescension in Pinker's approach to doing historical analysis. What he does in that book is akin to me (if you couldn't already guess, an historian) trying to write a pop linguistics book by reading a bunch of library books on the subject and chatting with the linguistics professors who have offices down the hall from me.
it's safe to say this won't be killing slack in any meaningful way. wow, that's a terribly atlassian UI they plopped on there. no offense to the dev team(s), i'm sure they had no say in making it so cluttered. slack wins because they make focus on communication not mandatory UI components that have no place in a chat app.
