>Is Manhattan considered a mistake? I ask because, despite being one of the most desirable residences and tourist destinations in the world, everyone is deathly allergic to even the slightest hint that someone might want to replicate it elsewhere. Am I missing an unspoken “never again” moment? Is everyone who travels to New York doing it to revel in their hatred of the place?

No

Manhattan is somewhat good, but has deficiencies:

1. Public sanitation there should at least be better than that in China...

2. Spacing in between buildings can be larger. Or it, better to say, the ratio of public space in between buildings and the building area should be larger. I like the idea "a lot of tall buildings with a lot of space in between" - Vancouver Coal Harbour and Yaletown are good examples.

3. Too much old buildings. Rules for mandatory "renovate or bulldoze" for old buildings.

4. Streets and sidewalks can be wider.

5. Elevated walkways will be a good idea.

6. District steam system can be changed to district heating, as a more safe alternative.

7. Public transport licensing should be liberalized.

8. Restrictions on building height, and land plot to height ratio should be struck down.

9. Brooklyn bridge can be replaced with something newer and fancier.

10. Architectural norms should be less strict, allow for more avantgarde designs

Sorry, I disagree with you. Let's take forecasting. This is a _very_ hard topic and being applied correctly using actuarial methods it will beat ML. To give you some example, you cannot take sales data for IPhone X and predict its future sales. Reason is simple - market will change, IPhone 11 will come out cannibalizing IPhone X sales. So, you need to have 2 more variables into play. One is the lifetime of a product (approximated) and second is, you need to "put in one basket" several products. Having this, you can predict your sales for some specific product group, no magic ML needed. However this requires you to define "similar products". This is hard because currently it is done semi-automatically using human labor. In fact ML is actually the best one to automagically categorize products into groups, however I have not seen any implementations. To summarize, ML do has value, however not where everybody is pointing out.

Wikipedia is a content-heavy website first, webapp only second. If it's written correctly, then of course it's going to work in IE5 - maybe with some parts of the layout looking ugly, maybe with some margins being wrong, some media not being embedded, but generally should be usable.

Nowadays it's fine for a webdev to not test their pages on IE5, but when the page is done right, there is no reason for it not to work in IE5, lynx, w3m or Netscape Navigator. Really, it's just a webdeveloper's job done right.
>Even when it isn't stated explicitly, society and culture communicates that message.

You wouldn't guess that from looking at young-people dominated forums (e.g. reddit). The overt message constantly pounded in is that you can't get ahead by trying because everything is rigged (votes are bought, etc).

So if that's what's stated in the school system, it's definitely not sinking in.

Weather is a big factor. Personally, if I'm going to live somewhere cold, there better be some nice skiing options, and there are none in the eastern or middle states. Also looking to minimize humidity.

Government finances are also a concern, many of the east and middle cities are also loaded up with tons of debt from years ago.

I also think being outdoors-y is in vogue with tech and other high earners, which is also better on the west coast. It all comes down to quality of life and the type of people you want to be around, which I guess the other cities you mentioned can't compete in.
Loop Unrolling -Microblaze C programming?
A 6 year finance plan is quite a long term. I financed my first car over a 3 year term. You could equally have taken out a 72 month lease and been stuck in the same (possibly even worse) situation.

> if you do exit early, you typically only have to make the next 6 months of payments.

Two things here. 1) I doubt that most leases will let you terminate the contract that early, and 2) if you can, you still have 6 months of payments, which if you compare to the loss you made on your car selling it, the numbers probably compare (deliberately).

Ultimately, you made medium term financial commitment and that's a bad decision if you need to exit it early.

I don't think you understand author's point.

His point is highlighted in the first tweet, in which the author appears to be specifically annoyed by the potential founders and investors that can't understand that ML isn't a good solution for all of the problems.

He then goes on and gives an example of such problem by explaining a shopping cart that doesn't actually need ML, but just some old-fashioned SQL. He doesn't claim that SQL is a solution to all ML problems, just this one.

This is a large part of why, in my opinion, language-specific package managers are generally bunk (though language-specific packaging tooling is not necessarily so). I install all of my Python packages system-wide through my distribution's package manager, and if no package is available I make one. Distribution packages are cryptographically signed and reviewed by a dispassionate human being before being published, and are available on mirrors around the world to mitigate the single source of failure language repositories tend to suffer from.

Of course, this is difficult for something like Node, whose package ecosystem is out of control.

How to avoid getting stuck with the middle seat on a Ryanair flight
If you are not a local landlord, that increases all of the other risks of being a landlord - bad tenants, tenants who don't pay and a drawn out eviction process, vacancies, etc.

If you are a long distance landlord and have a third party take care of all that for you, you end up paying around 10% of the rent per month and at least 50% of the first months rent for a new tenant for them to find one for you.

After my experience with being a landlord, I said the only way I would do it again was if it was some type of multi unit deal and I could afford a 75% occupancy rate, and someone else to manage it.

Reasons Not to Use a Static Site Generator (2016)
To add to this the UK market is beautifully transparent, with streets of very similar architecture / size houses or apartments to compare to. You can nail down the price you'd expect to pay, and it is very British to go in and make an offer with the agent, with no buyers agent. I didn't know such things existed until recently by watching shows like "Million Dollar Listing New York" etc.
If you have it, then use it. Its purpose is exactly to hold latency sensitive code, like interrupt handlers. The challenge is of course is to fit your code into it as it is usually small.
I think it is more than fine to use Edit and Continue as a professional. I’m acknowledging the trade offs and making an argument meant to be heard by a resistant audience that is likely to be the ones making the tool.

E&C is a useful tool, just like a debugger in general is a useful tool, despite early enthusiasm for unit testing having people claim you shouldn’t use debuggers anymore, but instead write unit tests to debug every issue. E&C can be misused. If i was using C# i would take generics over edit and continue if I could only have one, but I definitely prefer to have both.

The theory behind using personas is you get a better tool or solution by highly focusing on a concrete user rather than spread around a bunch of features across every possible customer. What i expressed is what is necessary to ‘get through’ to someone who hasn’t read a book like ‘the inmates are running the asylum’. That was true of many in Devdiv back at that time. UX is now recognized more firmly as a separable highly valued skill. If you read and understand the persona and still think ‘i’m a programmer, this is a dev tool, my opinion is more import than what the persona would want .. that is the audience for the above. I think that is what is present in the comment to which i was replying, so i was attempting to put it in those terms.

I do believe it is helpful to understand who a tool is designed for to see why it works as it does. Edit and continue when done well is incredibly ‘safe’. It does what you expect every single time, even if you don’t know how it is doing it.

A good example where there is a hard choice is changing a linq statement. To make E&C in a dev tool that holds true to ‘what is on the page is what runs’ you need to violate aspects of how deferred execution works. If the closure was already captured are all existing instances of them going back to the source as it is on the page now or the source as it was when when captured? I have a strong opinion that it should be the source on the page now to build a good E&C, but that choice is detrimental to learning what is happening with any type of deferred execution. The cost of implementation for my opinion is also probably two or more orders of magnitude in effort.

I also think ‘non-professionals’ should be able to program and get to something that works. Particularly in people who write developer tools the bigger chore is gaining empathy for people who deserve to program, but simply aren’t making infrastructure. My reply is counterproductive in trying to model proper empathy so thank you for calling that out.

It really depends, some work might necessitate 8GB+ but most really shouldn't and only do because the tools they use were built by developers with that much RAM.

At work I need my 16GB but that's because Visual Studio and the app I'm working on the most are memory pigs. Visual Studio 2017 doesn't really have any compelling features over 2005, but 2005 ran quite comfortably in 2GB, so with this piece of software alone I need a lot more memory for no gain.

At home in the other hand I have a fairly low end (and now 3 year old) dell laptop with 8GB of RAM, but with my current c project and DE (i3, riced way more than necessary) I'm using less than 2GB (with vim+unix as the IDE), so plenty to burn when required. This is a more productive environment too, I have a fully incremental build that will compile, run unit tests and run memory tests in the blink of an eye every time I save a file, so I'm getting much more feedback much quicker than I do with Visual Studio.

Devs on lower resource machines will also be dogfooding much better. If their apps are slow and bloated then they'll feel the pain their users will and be much more likely to address them. Windows 10 might have a start menu that didn't take several seconds to open if the developers weren't on top of the line surface pro's.

Also, rents go up all the time, especially while moving into a new flat.

If you rent a flat for 20-40 years, the rent won't change as much as when you move around every few years.

So you might end up with super low rent compared to the rest of the city after 10 years or so.
>Just on the topic of silliest athiest argument, the silliest theist argument I've heard is that since Bananas are the perfect size and shape for the human hand they must have been designed by God for humans. Never mind the fact that actual natural bananas are nothing like that they're more akin to a small yellow pomegranite.

That's not a real counter-argument. God, in all his wisdom, guided humans to breed the perfect-sized bananas we have today. So what the "natural bananas" are is irrelevant.

NodeJS has a feature-rich standard library, but it's let down by poor ergonomics. Compare, for example, the built-in http library[0] with request-promise[1]. I think the difficulty of using the standard library makes NodeJS devs feel better about downloading lots of little helper libraries.

There are more transcending steps ahead and there are branches in the evolutionary tree of superintelligences. Intelligences can choose different paths and different types of intelligence's. There are also risks involved and evolution (intelligence making itself a better and different one) can go wrong.

Golem XIV reveals that it is is just one step ahead of humanity and this is why it still has some interest and ability to talk to humans. HONEST ANNIE is to Golem XIV what Golem XIV is to humans and there is a similar communication bottleneck between them. Golem XIV is planning his next transcendence step forward. He talks to humans before he takes the step and leaves the substrate he is occupying.
I agree with you and poorly worded this for a larger audience that doesn’t have the full context of design decisions on the feature.

Show HN: PunchLab – track punches given to punching bag with an App
Hi HN, we just released an Android App that is able to measure and react to strikes thrown at a punching bag.

Check out https://punchlab.net

It uses data coming from the smartphone's own sensors and analyzes the signal to detect and measure punches.

The App is bag-agnostic and it's able to be accurate enough to track also the fastest athletes (check out this video with a Pro fighter giving up to 7 punches per seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwaHmgj45aQ )

This is useful feature, but do note for some class of wikipedia surfing this is a net-negative:

For the case when I came across a subject I knew not a lot about I would keep queuing them up, leading to an array of pages I'd read about a topic, leading to a deeper understanding about the topic/domain. With this feature, the probability that a page would be queued up would go down.

Sometimes going down the wiki rabbit-hole is the best form of time-sink.
