> Is that a fair rewording?

Well... no. But I think that's my fault, for the most part. I read the part of your original comment that said 'In my mind, programmers superior to me have abilities that would be beyond my knowledge to "guide" them.' as implying all their abilities as being beyond you, but it doesn't specifically say that.

I wasn't trying to imply that it's foolish to try to ascertain if one programmer is generally better than another (as long as some common domains along which to measure are involved), just to note that it's possible to hire someone that's far beyond you in some areas, and behind you in others, with the intention of specifically helping them build in the areas they are lacking (which have application to the job). The result should be a programmer that is, generally, as good or better than you in most areas, making them a more obviously superior programmer, even if that wasn't entirely obvious at the time of hiring.

In short, you can hire for the things that are important that you can't easily improve while allowing deficiencies in the areas that are less important which you feel you can help them improve in.

As a strategy, it has it's pros and cons. As a pro, it's probably easier to find candidates since your criteria is less stringent. As a con, you might find the candidate you hired has problems coming up to speed in those areas they are deficient in (which may be why they were deficient in the first place, instead of lack of experience).

I didn't really express the point very well originally, and just stopped at the opening, probing question.
Frankly, political lobbying is strangling your country. Are there any other developed democracies that allow the level of political capture through lobbying and political donations as the US? That alongside gerrymandering and the politicisation of the judiciary and whole legal process. Not how I'd set up a democracy. The USA was far ahead of it's time for over a hundred years in many aspects of it's system of politics and governance, but right now it seems like it's really fallen far behind.
This is happening in Gaza. Hamas cuts down telephone poles and fills them with homemade solid rocket fuel and a 50 KG warhead, which are then called Katyushkas because they superficially resemble the 1940's Grad missiles. These are then intercepted by $100,000 Tamir interceptors.

The worst part is that misfiring telephone poles have killed about as many Gazans as Israelis.
so USA has poorer public transport than Europe because the latter has much more uniform population distribution; USA also has poorer public transport than Australia because the latter has much more skewed population distribution.

american exceptionalism at its finest. :)
My parents used to have an RV built on a freightliner chassis. While not a perfect example, it used ~6MPG in cities, and ~11MPG on highways (where it was driven 99% of the time). Also it was from 2004.

With all the things you find in an RV - Pop-outs, fridge, washing machine, etc, I would be amazed if it didn't weigh something similar, if not more than a city bus and at least equal to a inter-city bus.

Worst case scenario and all buses are driving around with 2004 level mileage, that is still only roughly 10x more fuel than the best mileage vehicles available today.

Smells like bullshit to me.
I would only interpret "the test gives a correct result 99% of the time" to mean that out of every 100 test results, 99 are correct and one is wrong. Neither of your interpretations matches that. You need all kinds of additional information to say anything more specific. "99% of results are correct" can easily be true while p(sick | positive) and p(positive | sick) each vary anywhere between 0 and 1.

So your argument is essentially: "cleaning the ocean is hard, so we shouldn't attempt it"
I'm neither republican or democrat, and I find the entire two party system quite bizarre to say the least. That being said, there is no reason to blindly follow either, one can be anti-abortion yet pro health care, education, and so on. Moving the goal posts so to say is not an argument.
If that's the case you could buy up defunct domains, exclude everything via robots.txt and selectively purge sites from archive.org

That seems like a pretty glaring flaw in something designed to create an enduring record.

It would be nice to have the physical dimensions of the device, how can the manufacturer leave out such an important detail?
It helps that China is a major producer of "rare earth" metals - that's the stuff you need for the accumulators. So they don't have a problem to get the accumulators in massive quantities.

The point is that you don't shift to coal power plants, you're supposed to get your energy from clean sources, such as nuclear, geothermal, and solar. You are presenting a false dichotomy, and engaging in whataboutism to create a distraction.

Maybe the batteries aren't very good for the environment, and maybe there are still problems to be solved with energy generation - it doesn't mean that it's not worth it to try to make our vehicles cleaner.

Because the Wayback Machine starts from scratch each time?

I don’t think that’s it...it’s not a technical thing. Deleting all archives must be a courtesy they extend to anyone that specifically denies access to Wayback Machine in their robots.txt. Does anyone know if this is documented? If so, why didn’t her lawyers just carry out the robots.txt technique and not even bother contacting them? Most importantly, why would they have such a policy? This is all very odd.
The device is made from recyclable plastic.
> (Because the Wayback Machine starts from scratch each time?)

I don't know what "start from scratch" would mean – the point is that each site is sampled many times throughout history. That said, it is very odd that a current change in robots.txt would prevent looking at old samples. And that's indeed what it looks like [1]:

We are talking about IPv6 and possibilities to directly access machine where some vulnerable service might be exposed by misconfiguration. If you have remote code execution vulnerability service listening in that service it is really bad. Even pro people forget to close their database on servers sometimes, cannot think what weird stuff might be running on normal users machines.

I did not even touched running untrusted code by user because that is not in the scope of discussion. It is insecure with whatever the network configuration will be.

I do not know how you can connect to device behind NAT without setting up tunnel to it. But I might be wrong, point me to some resource please?

Exactly...that is why you ask clarifying questions. And if you post a question on SO is a great idea to include contextual information which helps clarify what you are trying to achieve.

A bit of context like "I'm on an embedded platform, so I can't use heap allocation", or "the HTML is for an emai'l, so I cant use JavaScript" also goes a long way to avoid the annoying "why don't you just..." comments.

If you peruse SO you will notice quite a lot of questions simply does not make any literal sense because of misuse of terminology or just lack of understanding. Very often questions arise exactly because the person have a wrong mental model of how the system is supposed to work. Which means the question will reflect this misunderstanding in the way it is posed. Just answering the literal question is not helpful and in many cases simply not possible.
The only way I think this could be done is to only allow autoplay for webpages that have been added to the homescreen. Allowing background play for tabs in Safari would be insane and I hope that will not happen.
That why it says "not to mention." It's an additional/supplemental point on top of the main one about my child's birth, which shows that at least that one home birth was safe. And cheap.
> 1. I would get a proper SSL cert signed

Uh, how? Are you assuming that a single BGP leak would be enough to cause e.g. a letsencrypt misissuance for the domain? It sounds like (from other comments) they have a global round-robin resolver setup for their DNS challenges.

> 2. Only hijack one of the ranges, and do not respond to other domains (causing SERVFAIL), so other domains will resolve unaffected

I think exactly that's what they did. I saw people posting SERVFAILs during the outage.

Yes you are nitpicking. It's like if someone says "paper bags reduce wastes by 50%" and you retort "welllll you still need need factories to make those paper bags." It's literally the definition of nitpicking

In this case, you're doing so in an attempt to undermine the activity raised in the parent. Not sure what your intention is, but definitely not supported by logic
It's for the pediatrician's services. Remember, Babies generally stay in the hospital for 48-72 hours after birth, and they get visited and tested by doctors and nurses during that time, not to mention vaccines, care in the nursery, etc... it actually makes a lot of sense that the baby be considered the patient.

After a recent trip to Hawaii where I saw plastic on many beaches, I would say that by weight, fishing nets make up the majority, but land-sourced trash is by far more numerous. There were some big tangles of nets in piles 2 feet high, but then there would be thousands of bottle caps, bottles, and random plastic trash. Some of it was identifiable, such as a plastic umbrella handle, others were just jagged pieces of white plastic. I also found a few pieces of melted plastic, which makes me wonder if incinerator slag is being dumped, maybe from ships.
I guess this number must take into account that the average city bus is driven a lot more than the average car.

On a fuel consumption per km, not to mention per km*passenger, it's way too much. Some number e.g. at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport
I suppose that this is in response to a recent attack against a man wearing a Jewish skullcap in Berlin [1]. The crazy bit is that the man attacked was a Syrian Muslim who was walking around with the skullcap to see if Europe is safe for Jews. The guy who filmed the attack was an Israeli Arab!

I'll admit, though, this article interests me because I'm an Israeli Jew. I'm really not sure why it is on Hacker News.

Interesting then to note that Norway, where the oil company is majority owned by the government, also has the largest per capita fleet of electric cars.
This is a really good introduction to some natural language processing concepts, and the code as other people mentions is very beautiful and easy to read too.

Just as a curiosity: I once did some text correction applied to tweets, using word embeddings (word vectors, word2vec), which are a language model too. In real life contexts, where you don't limit yourself to a dictionary, it's really interesting because word vectors can include many foreignisms and other "incorrect" words that you might want to keep in the text.

The article also mentions edit distances, the distances between words (in this case, the "incorrect" word and its possible corrections). In general, algorithms are based on common errors at the keyboard. Missing or adding a letter, transposing two of them, etc. Algorithms like Damerau-Levenshtein (pretty much the one applied in the article, even though it's not explicitly mentioned I think, and there are many variations) keep it simple by doing this, but it's interesting to notice that you can also fine-tune distances by considering which keys are closer to other keys in the keyboard (it's easier to accidentally type "a" instead of "s" in qwerty than "u"), but when doing more general text correction you can also use phonetic distances or even more sophisticated techniques like finite-state transducers that apply language-specific rules to suggest corrections. (I know the article is only meant as an introduction, but thought someone might find it interesting)
I should not have used the word "wrong", of course someone would nitpick that. I mean the Y in an XY question.

My point is just you should try help the person at hand with their actual problem, the X, and then clarify the question title to reflect the problem they need help with. It is easy to see if an answer have solved the actual problem - the OP selects the answer as "accepted".

If another person have a different problem which happen to be Y they will ask that as a question and get help for that. Everybody is happy.

I get really miffed when I see someone answering the literal question even when it is clear that the OP have a different problem and is just not knowledgeable enough to put it in the technically correct terms. I guess it is an effect of the education system when people think it is better to provide a useless but technically correct answer, than actually help people who have a problem.

Answering both X and Y is fine of course, and probably the preferred.

We've been using mobx-state-tree too. What I like is that it's easier to gain an understanding of the moving parts of my application; how actions, derived data and data work together. On the other hand the support for Typescript is a bit clunky and leads to slow compilation. Mitigating the compile time leads to a bit of boiler plate.
Yup, that already happened in the past. For some reason, this is apparently a feature, not a bug.
Well, using electric vehicles does create more battery storage to charge using solar during daytime off-peak hours. You go to work, park your car in a parking equipped with chragers and your car charges while you sit and work. The parking lot and the neighbouring buildings can have solar panels on their roofs to supply the electricity. Same during night time off peak hours: you car can charge while you sleep mainly using excess nuclear or wind power. But this discussion is about public transport, which works equally better because during daytime off-peak hours people are mainly at work and half of the bus fleet can charge up.

I'm sure going electric is not 100% clean, but it displaces smog from the cities and power generation can be diversified and even distributed. So in many respects it's better. It's definitely better for urban transport where you don't need hundreds of miles of autonomy. The rest of the vehicles that go outside cities can be switched to plugin hybrids running on LPG and DME, which are cleaner alternatives to petrol and diesel. When they get into urban areas they can switch to fully electric if the transport code requires it.
There is clearly problem with the immediate nature of such market, that is being forced to move out quickly out of a property if one undervalues it.

Then there is clearly the problem with current market set up, which basically allows people to trade with infinite length property rights, especially on land. This gives incentive to buy and never sell, because you know that new generations will have to live somewhere and you will be the one able to provide this service. Esentially leading back to pure feudalism.

A middle ground solution could be to make the land market with land tax not immediate, ie. sell whenever someone else outbids you, but as auction for the property every, let's say, 7 years.

This would give you enough time to consider investing into the property withou losing it right away due to trivial underpricing. It would also solve the optimal property allocation, just on longer term. Another advantage for agricultural land would be that a piece of land couldn't enter the market unless it underwent the seventh sabbatical year of
resting, which you could actually enforce under this system.
I think the point is that floating structures can be more easily designed and automated, whereas beaches and rocky coastlines require man-power and access. Plus nearly all trash on the beach/coast came from the ocean over time.

Thanks for the question, greatly appreciated. We used GitLab on k8s when we first transitioned, but we found there were a few things we didn't quite like about the GitLab-Omnibus helm setup, so we moved it off the cluster and used the AWS EC2 AMI which was really easy to setup.

We are going to start experimenting with the new cloud native GitLab chart, but it would need to gain some maturity before we use it in production.

Do you know if the new GitLab cloud native helm chart will allow you to turn-off certain things like mattermost and prometheus? That was something that we didn't like about the omnibus chart because it exposed several extra services/ports that we didn't really want to manage/think about at the time.

I was doing some statistics on a gaming site, and thought the average age of the users where surprisingly high, but not so much off I suspected a bug. I did investigate anyway and it turned out some users put 9999999 as their age, skewing the average. There's always noise, but I'm against filtering it out, because often it's in the outliers where the interesting stuff reside, and when it comes to software there's usually where the bugs hide.
As for the average age I did the avg on those with age between 0 and 100, as I also found out it was possible to enter a negative age.

I'm quoting this from one of the articles I linked above in the gp:

"With the announcement that it plans to block all websites related to cryptocurrency trading and initial coin offerings – including foreign platforms – Beijing has left no one in any doubt of its position on the highly volatile commodity."

The Economic Times of India talks about banking regulations surrounding bitcoin [1]:

"RBI, while announcing its first bi-monthly monetary policy for the FY 2018-19, has announced that any entity regulated by them such as banks, wallets etc. shall not deal with or provide services to any individual or business entities for buying or selling of cryptocurrency such as bitcoins."

If you're going to invest in BTC, you're most likely going to do it through your bank account. Banning banks from working with crytocurrency exchanges is a big step in that direction because it severely impacts your ability to participate in those exchanges.

And that gets me back to the original point. A country just needs to attack the exchanges. BTC is only worth something if you can exchange it for something else.

This is a great technique to know. I’ve used a variant to segment Twitter hash tags into meaningful words, which is a surprisingly hard thing to do.
Whoosh what? This subthread is not about "more privacy" anymore, it's about searching your own blog -- and since you put it out there, I'd assume you already have it indexed by Google (unless your visitors are handpicked and sent the URL).
I think it is the exact opposite of that. There is some version that can be done with current technology, but the challenges for that version are fundamentally much much more basic than what is discussed here: the article is basically jumping ahead imagining we had 90% of the technology of the primer solved and what problems you might face in that hypothetical world where the remaining constraints being "people don't talk to it enough, otherwise it would work"

The article mentions several times the concerns about getting enough user specific data and that it can't be easily bootstrapped by a smaller company that isn't the "big 5" because others don't have enough data. Except the big 5 can't solve related and easier problems yet with the data they have and a ton of engineering effort invested. The article ponders whether a primer for the hardest topics (educated adults) could have enough usage while we can't even do "make something that usefully, intelligently adapts to teach users even trivial topics or targeting a single grade of very young children", or "something that can hold a conversation better than a toddler".
The chart is really misleading. It's labeled: "Here are the average 2015 prices for a vaginal birth, not including costs for care before and after giving birth" but for the UK it lists the price of the royal baby's fancy birth. A normal birth in the UK is free!

My daughter was born by C-section in the UK. Mum and baby stayed in the hospital for a few days to recover from the C-section. This would have been completely free but they would have had to share a room with 3 other mums and newborns. That's not so nice so we opted to pay for a private room.

The cost for a private room in a hospital in the UK was the equivalent of $100 per night! In a HOSPITAL! Coming from the US that blew my mind.
