Good point. I don't think those issues cannot be resolved though, but it is one of those things that might not be as cut and dried as it seems. I wonder if biodegradable or recyclable bags made of paper or something else are the best of both worlds?

There are likely to be longer term positive effects of banning plastic bags as well though. Plastic bags don't biodegrade, but they do seem to break up into little bits and can make it into the food supply through fish and maybe other animals. I have a hard time believing that plastic bags as they are are an actual good solution to the problem of needing to get food to your house.

To me, the ideal solution to plastic bags is the same as the solution to most environmental problems: correctly account for the cost of the environmental damage and add that to the cost of the product (the company can chose to eat it or pass it on to the customer). I know that correctly calculating the cost is probably tricky but still. That would fix a lot of our environmental issues. Gas and coal are only cheap when we don't factor air quality into the equation.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but again the data does not support your claim. The cumulative number of miles driven by autonomous test fleet to date is nowhere near 100 million miles, which is where one should expect the first fatality from an average human. So no, your claim is empty.

To gain some context, I would suggest reading the Legacy Code book by Michael Feathers or read about Kent Beck's 4 rules of simple design, or even read the Clean Code book.

I think the first thing to consider in doing a review is first look to see if the code is easy to read and understand. There is that number out there that states we read code ten times more than we write it.
So I guess now we are settling for semi-autonomous vehicles. This would have been impressive 10 years ago (maybe more). They are just playing catch up while they could have been trying to be innovative all along.

The title of the paper is: "All Employees: Food Services and Drinking Places in Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA"

The minimum wage hike to $15 was only in Seattle.

> In Seattle it didn't.

The cite did not break out Seattle data from the region.

> In propaganda

It's propaganda to cite statistics for a region when only one part of the region is being discussed.
Cambridge Analytica already did this for the past U.S. election. It had an app that told canvassers which doors were worth knocking on and what sort of dialogue to use depending on things like the person's estimated neuroticism and other traits. It'll only get more sophisticated.

I like this idea. Can you elaborate a little bit on how/where you would fetch the gem package without the language based package manager, and how this is linked to system deps? For dynamic web application deploys the self-contained binary seems ideal, but I've fallen back on Ansible to properly configure the server dependencies, along with gems that may have system dependencies (e.g. psql).
Mutation is not the only source of errors but I believe it is the source of at least 80% (probably more) of errors.
I think there's an outrage because this time Facebook is infiltrating our social lives and interactions to a level never seen before. When was the last time that one company had such overarching power and knowledge into human interactions? It's scary to me, because I can think of ways the general public can be deceived, manipulated, and exploited for commercial gain. Facebook is also quite the monopoly in social media, and as mentioned in the comments, it has already acquired its competitors Whatsapp and Instagram. Facebook has the potential to become very anticompetitive, and it's current practices might be harmful to the general public in the near future.

Just a note of clarification. There are two "visual studio"s:

https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/python/

This is the classic Visual Studio & runs on Windows only, is a full featured IDE and has goodies like mixed mode Python/C++ debugging.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python

This VS Code, a cross-platform Editor++ with Python support.

Both are being actively worked on and will see continuous improvements.

I don't usually care about naming at all because it's typically irrelevant to the actual product. But "Plus" seems like surprisingly bad naming, especially for a company that has excelled at branding (I don't love the new logo). Uber's "Select" and, to a lesser extent, Lyft's "Premier" seem better.
Not so easy to periodically touch your foot to the ground in that situation.
You're doing a lot worse than that if you're hauling mail around.

The numbers also get a lot worse once you consider the energy cost of shipping your food to you (as both your article and the person you were responding to noted).
I think it's in the other direction of causality "Puerto Rico was broke, so they passed all these incentives in 2006 and enhanced them in 2017".

But it does create a lot of perverse incentives; it's a better deal for me to move to PR and do stuff than for a PR-born kid to go to HS on-island, college in the US, and then return to PR to run a business. There is almost an argument for constitutionality/equal protection.

This depends on the rules of the game. To use a classic example a coin flip that simply requires HT vs TH (TT or HH get new flips) is unbiased even with a biased coin.

The linked-to essay describes several reasons why the author uses virtualenv. Which of them don't you understand?

My package supports several optional back-ends, selectable at run-time, and it runs under Python 2.7 and 3.6+. I use tox to manage different virtualenvs for the combination of {backend X but not Y or Z, Python 2.7}, {backend X but not Y or Z, Python 3.6}, etc. for Y, and Z, as well as {backend X and Y and Z} for the two versions. Oh, and I support several releases of each of the X, Y, and Z. That's a lot of virtualenvs.

Usually I only develop on the X+Y+Z version because full test suite across all the combinations takes about 15 minutes.

I also do coverage testing, and the Python coverage tool isn't hard to use under this setup to combine tox results across multiple virturalenvs.

I don't know if Docker is better. I've been using this setup for some years.

A better solution would be to pan the production and use of disposable plastic bags altogether like most countries did with plastic microbeads.
Tesco/Sainsbury's (two of the big supermarkets) now only supply "bag for life"s (thicker plastic) and do not have any of the 'normal', thin, carrier bags. That's happened within the last year.

I now have loads of "bags for life" because sometimes you forget to bring one, don't bring enough or shop on a whim.

However, you can see how an optical-based system should in theory work because all our roads and signs are designed based on that assumption and has never assumed LIDAR. If a human can do it optically, one can reason, so should a machine. That said, I think Tesla is making a big assumption about human optical systems and object recognition and our current ability to replicate it. One of the things my undergraduate classes in AI taught me is that people tend to underestimate the sophistication and complexity of human neuro/cognitive systems. We are only consciously made aware of the simplified end results but are often unaware of the complexity of the underlying sub-systems.
Some people need it because their brains is just plain imbalanced, I get that. For some, that imbalance can be fixed with lots of work, however for some, it can't. I'm _hoping_ to be able to fix mine, but I'm willing to work with a doctor to figure out if that's possible.
My startup uses Medium as its preferred blogging host.
We prefer Medium because of the ease of use, the engagement, and the overall UX. We think its gorgeous!

Being a Fintech startup that focuses on getting people BTC or USD cashback on any card, we need to push out content quickly and have something that simply works. Otherwise, our dev and attention would be consumed by our blog content.

The only downfall with Medium from my understanding is that you lose your site SEO. But the engagement is very high and its possible to double post content if you do have your own blog, so it works out either way.

I highly recommend using Medium.

Investing should be done with care and thought. Due diligence is required. At best, Robinhood's app and advertising portrays investing as easy, and at worst they portray investing as something to be done on a whim.

The act of buying a security should be easy, but the thought that goes into that decision is MUCH more important. They trivialize this aspect of investing in their advertising and app, which I believe is dangerous for the retail investors who don't know better.
When you purchase something you have the right to resell it. You aren't purchasing a license, you are purchasing an item, in this case two items: a DVD and a Digital Copy. So just like if I buy a living room set I can now sell the couch and the chair separately.

> how come? gluconeogenesis is how body gets glucose from non-carbbohydrate sources. his argument was "You need carbohydrates for energy". you don't.

The body can create fat from carbs and protein via fatty acid synthesis. Does this mean fat in diet is unnecessary? Of course not. Similarly, there existing a pathway for creating carbohydrate from fat and protein doesn't by itself prove that carbohydrate is unnecessary.
The pain from conservative GC depends on how much your address space you are using.

In the 32-bit age, you ran into problems more and more as your heap approaches the GB range. At some point the probability that you end up with a false root that keeps a lot of garbage alive goes to 1.

In the 64-bit age we get a respite, although many systems don't really use 64-bit pointers.

Because:

1. Hammers cannot be trivially cloned and mass ditributed digitally for free

2. Every hammer is the same, while every new digital creation (not copy) is possibly the blood , sweat & tears of hundreds of people whose sole source of living is the creation of digital content.

HN has an aversion to DRM & paying for soft goods. I'm assuming you're a software developer. How would you like your creation to be ruthlessly copied and mass distributed, killing the potential revenues it would have brought you, and in extreme cases driving you out of business?
I hope their check includes people listing "whole homes" as actually being an entire house and not just someones basement or granny flat. Also a room with an attached bathroom isn't an "apartment". Seen quite a few of those being listed as whole rooms too. I don't really get it, if they fool me do they expect me to be happy when I show up and find out Im basically sleeping like harry potter?
It looks like it's similar to the issues steam had a while back (https://www.destructoid.com/-updates-psa-steam-is-giving-peo...)

While pure speculation until Chase makes an official comment: it's probably a caching issues somewhere backend on their system. Sessions are getting mixed up which means, if it really is a caching issue, not logging in until the issues are resolved should prevent your account from being logged in by a random 3rd party

If I'm remembering correctly from my trip to Taiwan a few years ago, free plastic bags were already banned. At least at the stores I was going to. You had to pay a small fee to get a bag. (Was also interesting encountering the lotto receipts!)

Hell, prior to pipenv being a thing, Python package management made me miss Maven of all things!
What seems to be missing in the comments here is the `--user` option to pip. Lets you install modules on a per-user basis, doesn't mess with system python. All you need to do is add the bin folder this creates to your path.
The ironic part here is, part of npm's core design - installing all deps to `./node_modules` - makes it extremely easy to "build" on one machine and then zip up the whole project directory which only needs `node` to run.

This is in fact way easier than options for python, ruby (and probably many others) which tend to install versioned dependencies to some shared directory and then add them to the path at runtime. So you're very right, it's trivial to not need npm at all, ever, in production.
I‘ve had the same experience.

I thought about not flagging anymore, but so what. I‘m offering my ratings, and if HN doesn‘t want to use them, so be it. And it feels good to flag shitposts.

The sugar was the big news to me, as well. I usually use an electrolyte mix if I've been drinking, and it usually works - but there's been some times when it hasn't. I just looked at the formula, and zero sugar.

I'll be adding some sugar to it to see if it improves things.
You misunderstood. The idea is to use an IMU to sanity check GPS. If you see too much drift or large jumps in GPS position/speed, or fail to get GPS readings for a long time, then you alert that GPS may be jammed and being to navigate using only the IMU and last known good GPS position.

All three manufactured/retail products listed also contain a non-insignificant amount of potassium, particularly the Pedialyte, to which the homemade solution matches best. Is the value added by potassium minimal enough to not include it? Or is availability in a common household more of an issue?

I have seen in stores sodium-free salt, and reduced-sodium salt, which both substitute potassium for the "missing" sodium, which can be a source of potassium if the added benefit is worthwhile.

The implementation is of course different, but the workaround is the same, separating the user/kernel pages tables. One key difference is that OpenBSD doesn't have to deal with 32-bit binary compatibility [0] and such, and also has made considerable effort to minimize the amount of kernel pages needed, AFAICT 6+(2*ncpus)

> Do people really encounter trouble with conflicting packages that often?

Yes it's quite common. For example I work on multiple projects with different versions of Django being used in each one.
While there are obvious disadvantages to not being told early, could there have been some advantages? For example, Linux and Windows mitigations already worked out and ready as a reference?

(I'm not saying those advantages might outweigh the disadvantages, just speculating on the pros and cons!)

im also a non-programmer who has been learning programming and building websites. ive spent just over a year learning programming part time, and even with uber basic knowledge you can build useful stuff

i did CS50 on edx (harvard's intro CS program) which starts with programming basics (in C language) then jumps into web dev with python and javascript. you build 2 or 3 basic web apps as part of the class. after the class you have the tools to really go off and running and make some "real", though basic, web apps. it is a lot of work but a really well taught course with useful and challenging problem sets. i really enjoyed the lectures and problem sets and spent time on them that i otherwise could have spent having fun, just bc i liked them

in parallel i also did a codeacademy tutorial on html / css and built some basic static websites for friends. html / css isnt really programming but you can make and deploy basic static websites that are actually useful, and it gives you some experience hosting / deploying stuff on the web

just based on these 2 resources im working on building a moderately complex (for a beginner) web app that hopefully will be open for testing this month, am adding a vue front end to my blog as my first experiment with a modern JS framework.

the next steps for me are 1) learning about deploying and maintaining small web apps (ive just deployed static sites / JS to date) on heroku or aws or something, really dont know whats best, 2) basics of security (sql injection, xss, xsrf etc) and then ill be comfortable getting users on my app

learning about programming has been a lot of fun and led to some interesting side projects
