I think you're right. Here's a personal anecdote that leads me to agree with you.

During an internship, I fixed some code style issue in a file that I touched for some unrelated reason. The tests had a blind spot just there, and I didn't manually test after the fix, as it was very minor and I couldn't imagine it causing any problems. But it completely broke the feature, and just testing the most basic user scenario would have revealed the screwup. So the bug made it into staging for a 1.5 MAU web application.

Fortunately, manual QA caught it early on, so no real damage was done, but while I didn't suffer any serious consequences, people definitely let me know that my actions were irresponsible. That's had a lasting impact on me. I often recall this anecdote when I catch myself thinking "no need to test that, it was a small change", and it's saved my ass a couple of times since.

(Of course, better automation is the right way to avoid these kinds of situations, but that's often not attainable in practice due to a number of constraints.)
> Facebook uses all this data to show you ads for things you might want to buy. Wouldn't you rather see that than ads for things you don't want to buy?

No, I prefer poorly targeted ads. Seeing ads for stuff I might want to buy is more distracting, more tempting, and forces me to expend my limited supply of willpower to resist the temptation.

Are you talking about red flags from an investor or an employee perspective? Hard to argue with the latter, as it's completely personal, but I'm also from flyover country and I disagree with most of what you write.
About a week ago, I attended a tech talk by a Google employee, a senior position, who said, if I remembered correctly, that their testing effort uses the most of their hardware resources at entire Google. Software testing can be difficult and challenging, but it is a critical part.

This is a big deal in the sense that wealthfront started out as a fairly dumb unsophisticated asset manager, but has since added tax loss harvesting, factor models and risk parity strategies at a fraction of the typical active management fees (2% AUM / 20%+ profit)

Some big pension funds / institutional investors are going to have to start asking themselves if it is worthwhile to pay the fees to some of these active managers if wealthfront is willing to implement these types of systems for free.

A lot of people don't seem to get that you can be honest about a booking without sounding like a complete asshole (despite how much I like to complain on HN, I promise that I don't write reviews the same way ^^).

You can say a lot of honest things like "if you expect to cook, be aware that you'll need to provide your own X/Y/Z" or "The wifi didn't work for me" or "I found the bed to be uncomfortably soft" or "It's obvious that nobody has ever lived here because so many basic things are lacking". And if any host would choose to deny you based on those, then I wouldn't want to give them money.

Possible reasons for a host to deny a booking:

1) The apartment is actually unavailable. It happens sometimes. I'm not going to cry about it.

2) The host is scared that I'm going to call them out for lying in their listing. If the listing is a lie, then I don't want to stay there. If the listing isn't a lie, then a good host won't be scared by honest reviews about misleading listings.

3) The host doesn't like my face. It's unlikely but possible. Again, I don't want to give money to a person who makes judgements like that.

I've never had any difficulty finding places while staying honest. Honesty doesn't reduce the number of good hosts available. Dishonesty does increase the number of bad hosts available. I do sometimes suffer because other people were dishonest in their reviews, and it upsets me.

> The feature has a terrible name

But in svn the feature is actually called "annotate"; "blame" and "praise" are mere aliases for it. To quote the book[0]:

you may find yourself typing svn blame …
or svn praise … instead of using the canonical
svn annotate command form. That's okay—the
Subversion developers anticipated as much,
so those particular command aliases work, too!

Exactly. Launch prices went down when countries other than the US started to offer payload services. They're going down even more sharply now because of increased competition, not necessarily privatization, though that has been a factor in increasing competition.

> One popular "trick" for obfuscating voting manipulation on Hacker News is to link to the Hacker News's /newest page of new submissions (instead of a direct link which would otherwise make voting manipulation obvious), and asking friends to upvote the submission from that page.

How does this not work? I am failing to see how legit people visiting new can be distinguished between people who are told to go to new and search for {{$title}} and upvote.
That depends if it's average or median or 95th percentile, plus how much variability there is.
Heh, I actually looked into that but it's not so easy. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3538791/1103543

So even if this script is the absolute first thing in your $PATH, `git blame` will always call the builtin rather than this. There are probably more involved ways to make this happen the way you want (like create a different `git` program that shells everything out to the real one except the `blame` command) but I wasn't sure I wanted to go down that rabbit hole.

Feel free to submit a PR if you find a simpler way though!

It all depends on what actions you are trying to change.

Technically, it does reward folks when they don't take a plastic bag by not charging them. But the goal is to actually discourage people from taking one in the first place, so something that seems like a small penalty does this more effectively. You notice each time you forget to bring a bag with you, unlike the rewards. And it is universal.

Sometimes you want to reward folks, though - this works with plastic and glass recycling here in Norway. I save up most of this stuff at home and take it back to the grocery store, where I get a bit of money for most plastic and aluminum beverage bottles and some glass ones (mostly beer). If there weren't a reward for bringing it back, I'd just stick these in with plastic recycling or regular trash. This adds up so long as I don't take them in one at a time, something I can't get with a reusable plastic bag discount.

if you eat cheese you might be surprised by how much sodium it has, and bread can easily be several hundreds of milligrams of sodium too. It's not hard to eat 5,000mg/sodium a day without intentionally adding a lot of salt to your meals just via "hidden" amounts.
It is not the system that is ill-conditioned or pathological, nor is it modelling error, I agree. It is the comparison x(t) >= h that is ill-conditioned, and you'd be wrong to rely on its result (much like catastrophic cancellation, it is a bad idea to compare approximately equal numbers with errors in them, no matter where the errors come from—the errors could come from measurements, and the same logic would apply). We might have different ideas about what in your example is specified as given (with full precision) and what is specified approximately? But I do not think I misunderstood anything you wrote, please consider re-reading my comments too.

> The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users

> For this type of reason and historical experience with other media [Bagdikian 83], we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers.

> Furthermore, advertising income often provides an incentive to provide poor quality search results.

And most importantly

> But we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm.

I think especially the last statement shows very well that they were ideologically opposed to advertisement-funded search engines.

Overkill - Yes and No. Yes, because you are spinning up a full VM to run a docker container locally. No, because the container is also the container run in prod, with no opportunity for some other process to come along and hose your otherwise clean install.

The process and FS isolation also make sysadmin-me all tingly inside. That way you can't hose up anybody else's clean install either (even if you're compromised).

As a side note, on mac, the VM that runs docker containers requires less ram and CPU than Hipchat. Go figure.
Speaking of optimization libraries, I've been checking out https://developers.google.com/optimization/ for scheduling and assignment problems. The documentation is not... wonderful, but it has a lot of examples and a decent Python API.

I recently did an "Intro to OR" class and most of the tools we used were proprietary. I've been looking for more open source tools (and more info on OR in general, I think it's fascinating!).

Edit: NLOpt (https://nlopt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is also a nice suite of optimization algorithms for non-linear optimization.
A civil trial doesn’t decide “guilt” and “innocence”. If plaintiffs lose, they were simply wrong in filing the lawsuit. It’s a risk they knew about, and they had all the decision-making power while their opponents had none.

The word “technicality” is also misleading: every law has some justification, and if a plaintiff finds themselves on the wrong side of that law, they legitimately lost the lawsuit and should have never brought it.

I prefer virtualenv + pip.

I primarily develop on Fedora which ships both Python 2.7 and Python 3.6.

pip and virtualenv are built into python3, no need to install anything. Additionally, these tools + tox are commonly used for python testing in popular python projects [0]. I have found other colleagues that use other tools struggle with pip and virtualenv, and it puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to working with the larger python software community IMO.

Whitelists are probably a lot more practical. With a blacklist there is the problem that vast numbers of new files will be coming on the network all the time, and so you would need some mechanism to determine which ones should be put on the list. There are only two ways to do that, neither practical.

One is machines, but then you need a huge server farm and lots of sophisticated software, and even then you get lots of false positives and false negatives.

The other is human beings, but that would require a huge army of people. You can't get that many volunteers as people don't want to spend their time, and besides they don't want to be traumatized by looking nasty pics. So you have to hire them, and where would the money come from?

As a consequence, I think white lists are the way to go.

There are other problems with this analysis, but the main problem is this: it does not indicate in any way that reducing salt intake will result in a reduction of morbidity, and reducing morbidity is the only thing that actually matters.

Blood pressure is important as a marker for a whole host of health issues, but lowering blood pressure via reduced salt intake does not mean that you will reduce the incidence of of health issues that are commonly associated with high blood pressure. One simply does not follow from the other.

Hello!

One small comment about this webpage on Firefox mobile: in portrait mode the page shows correctly, but in landscape mode the header + the message inviting visitors to try GitLab EE take about 50% of the screen, which makes the page a bit annoying to read.

I think visitors should be able to get rid of the message and the header should be made non sticky or a least way smaller if you really like those sticky headers.

I guess landscape 1080p is considered as a regular computer there, but this is false in my case.

Thanks for making GitLab, this is what I currently use for my projects.

While this post was fine. I've looked at your few other posts here on HN. HN specifically discourages snarky uninformitive posts.

HN has every right to have community standards. A post such as "Another socialist utopia collapsing? Shocked, shocked I tell you." doesn't add anything to the conversation.

If you look at some of my recent posts where I argue against the government interfering in tech, I'm definitely not pro big government by any means. So I'm not commenting on your opinion just your tone.

I've seen some of my pro-capitalist posts go back and forth between downvotes and upvotes, but I would like to think that I had reasonable arguments that added to the discussion.
Yeah, npm and yarn are pretty close at the moment. Yarn had a big advantage when it was first release, but npm seems to have caught up.

> However, there's one thing keeping me from using Dart more professionally, and that's how surprisingly difficult it is to work with JSON out of the box.

We've talked about this a lot on the team. We definitely know it's a problem but so far we haven't had enough bandwidth to devote anyone to really digging in and addressing it. (It turns out that redesigning a type system and re-implementing the entire front end takes a lot of work...)

Hopefully once things settle down after Dart 2 we can take another look at this.
This is actually something that has been annoying me for a while. Your solution works and should be implemented. Hope Google listens.
Way to level up! I actually think this combined with the new superhost incentives are a very well-considered, combination to elevate the overall quality of the platform overall.

The down side is: it seems like this may alienate new hosts by creating an (overwhelmingly) high bar for a listing. Not everyone is a semi-professional hotelier. How will that be balanced out?

Be careful not make would-be hosts feel too self-conscious to list their space. It's a fine line between building community and alienating it when curation bias turns into a core pillar of a company's identity.

I think discouraging new hosts by setting the bar (and company identity) so high is a net-negative for long-term community building. It makes total sense short-term, and it makes sense for an OTA like Booking. Long-term: it shoots the notion of home-sharing in the foot and without new hosts feeling welcome, a growing market can't sustain the demand.

Personally (I'm obviously biased lol), I'm obsessed with the notion that everyone is a host. Everyone would host someone, and it's a platforms job to help match those people to public listings, homes privately listed (networked via communities / friends), homes that have professional photos, homes that even have no photos (because if you're booking a friend's home, who cares). I'm not saying lower the standards, I'm saying change the frame; it's as a matching game threaded by community.

> I use multiple OSes: macOS at work, and Linux (well, Linux-ish - actually it’s WSL) at home.

This is pedantry, and the article is otherwise quite informative, but describing WSL as "Linux-ish" is like describing a speedboat as "car-ish" because they both happen to have steering wheels.

WSL is a bloody marvel of engineering, but it is in no way an equivalent of Linux. I'm mentioning this because WSL proponents and detractors tend to miss the fact that understanding those differences is critical to understanding and using--even in trivial ways--WSL itself.
Reminds me of the family of my highschool girlfriend. They were constantly in danger from magical and spiritual attacks coordinated by agents of satan.

When her eldest brother got his girlfriend pregnant, her mother learned from a vision that the girl was a witch, and had used mind control to force him into sex in an effort to infiltrate their christian stronghold. There were stories about how the youngest brother had once, foolishly, brought a piece of fantasy art (a picture of a dragon) home. And sure enough, in the middle of the night, the dragon came out of the picture and tried to slither into the boy's bed. His cries woke his parents, who investigated, and sure enough there was an evil aura coming from the picture. They burned it while praying, and then had a preacher come bless their house ASAP the next day. There were several other stories, equally silly but not as entertaining.

One difference is, it seems that Stan from this article worked mostly alone, but my girlfriend's family was part of a large church community who ate all this shit up and asked for seconds. When I visited their church, it seemed like everyone had their own stories to tell about personally witnessing supernatural assaults. The community all fed off of each other, and they got so excited at having a new person to share their stories with.

I guess that's why the DSM, when describing delusional disorder, specifies that "The belief is, at the least, unlikely, and out of keeping with the patient's social, cultural, and religious background." Don't want it to seem like they're starting a holy war.

The funny thing is, when I was telling my mother about the things I heard at my girlfriend's house, I literally described it as a "whole weird world".
Actually, it's pretty high up for me. The look of trash and the relaxing, beautiful look of nature are pretty much opposites for me.
