In practice, most WASM languages are going to want good interop with JavaScript, so if nothing else is done, I expect that would become the standard for foreign functions, much like C FFI is on the desktop. For example, look at what Rust is doing [1].

For a new language targeting WASM, it might be nice to use JavaScript strings directly, without needing to convert them at the border? JavaScript strings aren't perfect (I prefer how Go does it) but they're usually good enough.

In a restaurant and bar though the employees are viewed as humans, they actually know the person deciding their fate and the reason for that decision. In his story there was always an invisible hand guiding decisions that could completely devastate or make his life.
our recycling allows/encourages coffee cups, lids and sleeves all together.

plastic bags/wrap are really hard to recycle and some jurisdictions have stopped collecting them all together

glass jars are probably the worst though - the energy to transport, sort and reclaim is far greater than making new jars. Some of the most committed recyclers throw them away rather than burden the system.
I’m an undergrad right now preparing to take an exam for a course that was taught this way (Single Variable Calculus, https://youtube.com/channel/UCLzpR8AiHx9h_-yt2fAxd_A). Overall I felt like the course was better for being taught this way, and my classmates mostly think similarly. I think one key differences from what you’re describing though is that instead of periods to work on homework lectures were directed periods of applied learning where the professor gave us problems one by one and walked us through them when we got lost.

Overall I felt like this made the lectures more essential not less. In my other math lectures the professors mostly just explained the material in the textbook/notes that you could learn just as easily on your own. The applied learning style of the lectures for this course made each lecture unskippable if you really wanted to understand the material. The problems in the textbook didn’t come with any explanation for their solutions, and weren’t as similar to the problems on the tests and the problem sets as the problems in the lectures, so there was a lot of value lost if you missed a lecture.

For me personally, I prefer learning directly from the textbook so the videos were not that great, but the interactive lecture style is how I would want all of my future math courses to be taught, if I could choose.
VERIFIED OPT-IN parts opens up beautiful opportunity to destroy your competitor for $5.

1. Open DigitalOcean hosting for $5. With prepaid card they will let you do it, however port 25 will be blocked.

2. You don't need port 25 anyways. Download few lists of emails from online search and setup php_curl every 30 seconds to your competitor's landing page subscription ajax call.

3. Wait few months for them being slammed with $4MM fines as there will be unable to prove how they got that traffic in the first place :)
Yeah, my opinions on this are "slightly" influences by the Rich Hickey talks "simple made easy" and "hammock driven development":)

The difficulty I find is, identifying the moment to leave the hammock again in a startup enviroment. To what degree do you need to understand a problem before you take action. If you try to understand it 100%, you'll never get anything out there.

But I'm already very happy that I was able to convince the business side of the company of the approach in a brief talk about it and they now referrer to "the hammock" themselves :)
Will Uber allow their driver to rent a car and then serve users? this way drivers can avoid commission cut to Uber. I am sure Uber is not naive.
Googling this only turns up Java...
In what way is this not the natural consequence of a system that attempts to optimize wealth?

If there's a solution to this, it seems that the wealth once created should be distributed differently, rather than attempting to kill the goose.
T cells kill infected cells by detecting foreign proteins using a lock and key tube mechanism (Key = foreign antigen, Lock = T cell receptor). Normally any given T cell an its off spring have only one specificity of lock (although collectively there are many millions of locks in the body). CAR-T therapy is when they pull out a bunch of T cells for a patient and genetically modify the cell to have a know lock which is specific for a key known to be on the Cancer, then put them back into the patient. So, relatively, there is a massive increase in the frequency of T cell with that specificity in the patient, and hopefully they kill the tumor cells.
Bad reddit - why aren't physicians normal people?
Zuck is just preparing better before the next jury meeting, I guess.
As a non-designer, I like seeing sites like this for inspiration, but I lack the imagination of how it would actually look like in actual implementation.

Something I'd suggest would be if it's possible to create a simple wireframe based web interface (form, CTA, background) that uses the currently selected color pallet, as a way to have a live preview of the individual color palette.
It usually does mean theoretically better. HOWEVER.

The fly in the ointment is that increased automation usually only makes sense if you need to produce more cars and can tolerate delays as automation kinks are worked out (some of which may actually require changes in the car design).

If you're making 100,000 cars per year per factory line, then very high automation doesn't make a lot of sense, and humans can often be more cost effective (from an opportunity cost perspective). But if you're producing 1,000,000 cars per line, then a lot of automation which wouldn't make sense at lower numbers now all of a sudden does.

Tesla is developing some of this automation tech for a 500,000 per year Model 3 line, but where the full automation will really hit its stride is in the Model Y which is supposed to hit 1,000,000 per year from a single factory line. Model Y is supposed to have several design simplifications and modifications to enable more automated production.
Would be interesting to hear what kinds of BEAM-specific concepts would be important for a well-designed implementation.

I was curious to learn more about what a "NIF" is and this was helpful towards understanding: http://erlang.org/doc/tutorial/nif.html

Also I found this which shows there are many examples where NIFs extend what Erlang can do: http://beam-wisdoms.clau.se/en/latest/interfacing.html
Are you claiming that in an unregulated market, because of wash trading, it can become generally known that an asset is mispriced such that the mispricing is arbitrarily high?

It seems to me that the market efficiency of unregulated markets depends on many things and your claim is too strong.
My husband left me for another girl. I felt really bad but was hoping he would come back to me. one day, I saw a post about how a lady met her husband and I decided to try this prophet who helped her because my relationship was failing. Although I never believed in spiritual work. I tried reluctantly because I was desperate, but to my greatest surprise, this prophet helped me and my relationship is perfect now as he told me that my husband now treats me like a queen, even when he had said before that he never loves me anymore. Well, if you are going through difficulties in your relationship here is the email______ dr_mack @yahoo. com,
One problem with those is that they are easy to capture fake/inaccurate data. Couple that with non-running exercise activities and you have an even more difficult equation to solve for.
If you want to solve the problem its relatively easy. Follow the money.

Ban micro targeting by advertisers, with only textual context and location allowed. Ban platforms like Google and Facebook from offering micro targeting. Marketing managers and their agencies will be held accountable.

This should be easy to enforce and will stop the creepy stalking and data hoovering at source as there is no incentive.

But no one wants to solve the problem, only go through the motions of solving it. These capabilities are too valuable for government and propaganda.
Max Payne was pretty good. They had something there with the norse mythology stuff that was interesting.
I guess I'll be the odd ball who thought that Mortal Kombat was a decent movie. The fact that it seemed to use existing martial arts movies (Enter the Dragon and Game of Death, in particular) as a template rather than the game itself seemed to help.
The first link is a review paper of research going on in the field and draws reasonable conclusions. It's also full of language like "A 1999 major cross-sectional study reported erectile dysfunction in 5%, and low sexual desire in 5% of sexually active men, ages 18 to 59 [3]. [...] By 2011, ED rates in young Europeans, 18–40, ranged from 14%–28% [6]." and "A 2014 study on Canadian adolescents reported that 53.5% of males aged 16–21 had symptoms indicative of a sexual problem [10]." Teenagers are absolutely covered in this paper, but it's about sexual health in general.

That's a valid argument for the second paper, and unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to address it because most papers I found are behind a paywall and I can't read them.

Regardless, it's implied that poor sexual health and attitudes supporting women violence are both detrimental effects. I also wasn't making the argument that monitoring and filtering was the solution, I was providing citations on a claim because they were requested. If you didn't like those citations, it's why I also posted [1b] and [1c], which are 24 and 25 research papers about porn being linked to poor sexual health, and porn being linked to objectifying feelings towards women, respectively.

If you want to know my opinion on the subject, it's that teen monitoring apps don't work, and drive a wedge between teens and parents. But I also think there are real dangers on the internet that are not obvious to children discovering it, and having a very serious conversation with your kids is a very important thing to do.
I Have Beef with Accelerated Mobile Pages
All that churn sounds inordinately expensive.

It almost seems like its time for someone to come along and disrupt the disruptors with a little good old fashioned loyalty and a modicum of institutionalized common sense.
IME, lots of people start out with revulsion to the specifics (often based on popular misunderstandings of those specifics) and only later adopt a “taxation is theft” ideology to rationalize that revulsion.

So, I understand GPs question.
We don;t have enough CATs . We need to make them breed fast for unique contents
Fuchsia is not Linux
Inasmuch as IM is monetized I think it's a front. It's another aspect or facet of social media and we're already making the distinction between microblogging (Twitter Vs Facebook) and photo sharing (snapchat Vs Insta) so I don't see why not?
If the spammers are pushing some product that is sold online or sold in the "first world," they certainly could be attacked with regulation.
This is a great idea, and I have one suggestion:

It can be kinda hard to see if two neighboring entities are the same in a given band (kbs, mbs, gbs), because you're looking for the absence of a difference of a pixel or two. Maybe if they are the same and neighboring, join the two columns rather than have them spaced? That would visually instantly tell you that those two samples are the same.
It seems obvious to me that companies are inherently amoral. I'm not saying this is good, but does it really take a full blown sociopath to prioritize business goals over the repercussions of firing someone?

I don't run a business, maybe I don't want to with this in mind.
Why does it have to be cheaper?
Even if you are in demand, none of these places have any honor. It is a shame too. People are usually ok at rolling with the punches if you just tell them one might be coming.

That, and as tempting as it may be to lay it all at the door of capitalism, I'm not sure that's fair. Even in a competition, honor still has some value. I'd put more of the blame on the aphysical conflict-averse types office work generally attracts.
Looks slick as hell and I love the dark color scheme. It's always surprising how many gamers just hate light color schemes. Good work!

Will crypto-kitties work?
Uber already has discounted weekly rentals through Hertz, Uber Xchange short-term car leases from select dealers, and Uber Financing where the driver buys a new car from Nissan/Toyota/Hyundai at special pricing with unlimited maintenance included and the monthly finance payment comes out of their monthly Uber check automatically.
This kind of makes sense. If the car owners are at some random place in the city, Uber could drive them there for pick up and offer ride backs.
UPnP Router Proxy Exploit
Sounds like we did misunderstand each other then. But still, regarding #1: in order to meaningfully, actively engage with something non-trivial like programming, it is necessary to overcome the initial learning curve. Most kids naturally have problems with that. Those problems are vastly exacerbated by having access to unlimited supply of bullshit online, which doesn't require any effort to consume. Dopamine response wins 100% of the time.

This goes back to the Suzuki method, sort of. In order for a kid to actually enjoy a complicated endeavor he/she must have some baseline set of skills to not suck at it. Acquiring it is often not a pleasant thing even for adults, with lots of effort needed to get to anywhere near where a complex activity can become "fun", and a source of enjoyment.

This is another one of those things I didn't have any problems with: I naturally started very simple and worked my way up. I was only able to do that because I didn't really have much else to do. My father threw away our TV when I was 10 years old and he never bought another one. :-)
Ask HN: PHP Symfony for core architecture of a new startup?
I have non-dev, but fairly technically minded friend considering Symfony as the core of the backend for a fairly complex set of microservices, some of which involve large amounts of data. Decent security is important. A consulting company is recommending PHP Symfony. They already have UI stuff in Node, and Firebase.

I do not have much experience building greenfield PHP projects. All the legacy PHP projects I have worked on are total flaming disasters, so I may be pretty biased.

What are the pros and cons of choosing something else like Go, Node, or C# instead? (these were my recommendations based on my experience, I'm sure Java is also a good choice)

My recommendation would have been to start with Node and OpenAPI/Swagger Spec, since it is already in their stack, it's testable, has active communities and a good trajectory for hiring. Then for stuff needing more horsepower or with sufficient complexity, use Go. Database recommendation is Postgres or MariaDB.
I would have loved some concrete examples.
Yes.

> Salsify uses a purely functional video codec to achieve this. Our video codec is 100% conformant with the Google VP8 format, but has one major trick: the encode and decode functions are purely functional, with no side effects, and represent the inter-frame “state” of the decoder explicitly. This allows Salsify to make the encoder compress a frame relative to an arbitrary decoder state, allowing the application to safely skip frames on output from the encoder, not just on input.
I put emphasis on tools because I've worked with a lot of recent graduates. There's the very real, practical problem of knowing what not to solve. I don't care if you're a genius or not, you're wasting time recreating (poorly) components that already exist in the standard library. Similarly if someone is doing blatantly bad-practice things because "its just implementation details" (stuff like hardcoded paths to /home/username) it causes a bunch of extra effort to clean up the monstrosity.

That's not to say problem solving is not extremely important, but the time suck created by bad tool use (or not using tools out of ignorance of their existence) ultimately reduces the productivity of a programmer, or in some cases, whole teams.
Could you please remove the thorniness and condescension for your posts? It breaks the guidelines and makes discussions worse.

"The Last of Us" would be a blockbuster.
Didn't see any mention of the Volvo Care thing, but leasing any car is typically a bad idea, Volvo is just packing more crap in for extra lazy people that like paying even more.

I don't see the death of a thousand cuts thing currently. No one needs a dozen subscriptions. Our household has 3: Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Spotify.

- Netflix is cheaper than buying 1 movie/month.

- Spotify is cheaper than buying 1 album/month.

- Amazon Prime is a net savings on shipping and trips to the store plus videos, books and music and whatever else in there...

Comes out to an overall savings from most people's spending habits before these things were around, especially if you cut cable. What else does a typical family need to subscribe to that is draining all of their money?
This looks awesome! I'm looking forward to using Guilded to find teammates for AoE!
This is a frustrating article.

The regulation in GDPR is not new! It's a refinement of long existing law (in England this is the DPA, and PECR).

If it's illegal under GDPR it was probably already illegal under PECR.

All this stuff about "ZOMG we need informed consent before we send email"? You already need that.
Google News has become unusable for me. It used to be great to find a variety of sources about a certain topic. But now it’s become really hard to browse beyond the 2-3 articles that are privileged.

I guess it fits in with the Google Search motivations of becoming an answer engine, instead of a search engine by providing a single specific answer instead of a breadth of resources to explore on your own.
Maybe if you tried it as a first-line treatment instead of on relapsed basket cases it'd work better.
Tesla issues strongest statement yet blaming driver for deadly crash
Or maybe they're just bad teachers.

Maybe so, maybe not. However I never had trouble when they tried to teach me things. And have heard good things from others who they taught.

One of the people who expressed this basic opinion to me is https://www.amazon.com/Randal-Schwartz/e/B000APA744. He is also someone whose expository abilities are widely recognized as being excellent. And he is also an example of a self-taught programmer with no degrees beyond graduating from high school.
It does a good enough job at modeling reality that we can make decent predictions with it. While the details of CICO may be more complicated, for someone who is obviously out of shape, the advice of "Eat some extra protein and make sure you are consuming below maintenance calories" works 9/10 times.
Full statement:

"We are very sorry for the family's loss.

According to the family, Mr. Huang was well aware that Autopilot was not perfect and, specifically, he told them it was not reliable in that exact location, yet he nonetheless engaged Autopilot at that location. The crash happened on a clear day with several hundred feet of visibility ahead, which means that the only way for this accident to have occurred is if Mr. Huang was not paying attention to the road, despite the car providing multiple warnings to do so.

The fundamental premise of both moral and legal liability is a broken promise, and there was none here. Tesla is extremely clear that Autopilot requires the driver to be alert and have hands on the wheel. This reminder is made every single time Autopilot is engaged. If the system detects that hands are not on, it provides visual and auditory alerts. This happened several times on Mr. Huang's drive that day.

We empathize with Mr. Huang's family, who are understandably facing loss and grief, but the false impression that Autopilot is unsafe will cause harm to others on the road. NHTSA found that even the early version of Tesla Autopilot resulted in 40% fewer crashes and it has improved substantially since then. The reason that other families are not on TV is because their loved ones are still alive."
Thanks! I think the best way to get started right now is to grab the official Facebook create-react-app package, pick something you think would be fun to build, and just start trying to build it and googling/asking questions along the way. The first project might suck, but that's okay. You'll pick it up fast, and the next will be better.

React + MobX is my favorite way to build frontend apps now, and MobX does help a lot in terms of development speed, maintainability, and performance, in my experience. If you're brand new to frontend development, I wouldn't worry too much about it, though - it can be best to start with the basics initially.
DigitalOcean: “Our team is investigating this issue now.” – dashboard problems
No way. What made HL2 was the inter-dimensional space politics/warfare
Most of these "disruptive" companies are pissing away investors' money without actually accomplishing anything. They will never be productive or profitable, so there is no point in trying to out-compete them.

Edit: as far as the BigCos are concerned, this is also true of many of their internal teams that are chasing "moonshots" in parallel to the main business model. The "investors" in this case are the profitable parts of the BigCo.
In this context, pretty clearly, "normal" means "having a layman's understanding of medicine". Physicians had better not be normal (in this sense).
We may move less during non-exercise time, but also eat more, because we are extra hungry from exercising.

exercisers, whatever their species, tend to become hungrier and consume more calories after physical activity. They also may grow more sedentary outside of exercise sessions. Together or separately, these changes could compensate for the extra energy used during exercise, meaning that, over all, energy expenditure doesn’t change and a person’s or rodent’s weight remains stubbornly the same.
My principal complaint was going to be "why not a plugin" to the various editors that already exist (eg. VSCode, Sublime, Vim, etc). I saw the screenshot and thought, ugh, YAEA (yet another electron app).
Maybe you can use slightly different color/background color for the bands? That way it's more obvious that the 3 bands are separated instead of one continuous band.

I've never even really considered the different learning styles; maybe because I'm not an educator (other than TAing, tutoring in grad school, etc .. stuff you kinda figure out as you go based on how people taught you).

I've never even though that people used these styles to try and reach everyone as the article suggests. I thought it was always more of a "What will keep me engaged/focused."
I got a Yubikey a few weeks ago and thought I'd switch to an online bank that offered Yibikey login... I spent hours looking and couldn't find any. Not even one. Couldn't even find any offering Google Authenticator. I saw that a few of the biggest banks will ship you an RSA token/similar device if you ask, but not quite what I had in mind.
Gene Siskel gave it thumbs up, so you're not that much of an odd ball.
