I apologize for making my comment so hyperbolic and you are right to call me out for dishing on them unfairly.

I'm familiar with Hodinkee and in general I think favorably of them.

They've brought some necessary web polish to an industry where publicity has a very grubby old school feel to it. Personally, I've used Hodinkee as a jumping off point to do some research into watches I might want to own some day and the site has only made firmer my love for the Nomos house.

That being said, as a journalistic outlet the site is still very much a show run by amateur enthusiasts. This is not inherently a problem, plenty of fields get covered by people early in their career. But there is something specific to luxury watches that makes it unable to feed in or out of the ecosystem of writers and limits the people working there to the kind of people who can be interested in very expensive jewelry.

Compare this profile to one's done by people who specialize in the craft - Ta-Nehisi Coates at the Atlantic on Obama, Caity Weaver at GQ, or closer to the tech world Adrian Chen at the New Yorker and Steven Levy at Wired - and you can see the core editorial and writing skills simply aren't there and likely never will be.

I've recently been having problems with Keep losing data that I've typed in (common scenario - paste in a paragraph of text from my spouse that has a list, I line break the list to get checkboxes, then portions of that list disappear when Keep tries syncing). This seems like a pri-0 feature but Keep has become unreliable recently.

Otherwise it's great but the fact that it loses data means I've shelved it for now.
I think the length of the lines matters more than the number of lines, due to Emacs attempts at dealing with soft-breaks in the least astonishing way.

I'm not the person you asked, but from what I've seen HN tends to have the attitude that you don't need to understand "maths", "algorithms", "statistics", "data structures", or any of that complicated stuff, all you need is to get your hands dirty with code.

I don't get that at all. From what I've seen over the years, there is a clear divide on HN between the people who lean towards the "you don't need any theory at all" people and the "you need to know all the theory to do anything" people, with there being a slight bias towards the latter in general.

Interesting how perspectives differ on this site. I guess it's similar to how some people argue that HN is overrun with government hating libertarians, while other people think the site is overrun by granola eating, tree hugging, hippie communists. :-)
> web application / UI frameworks that are going to be the The Final Paradigm come

Are there any that would claim that? As far as the popular ones that have been there (which is really just JQuery and Angular, but could also encompass thins like Underscore, Knockout, etc.) go, I think most of them presented themselves as band-aids for limits in Javascript/DOM API's. I think React is that first one that gained widespread adoption that actually promoted a paradigm (view is a function of state).

That is not to say it's The Final Paradigm, but I think an important reason for both Angular and JQuery to lose adoption is because the wounds they band-aided over were cured.
Do you actually like working 12x6 or do you feel it’s the only way you’ll be successful?
I bought an Apple Watch last fall in what I assumed was a silly, tech-geek pursuit of getting in shape. Surprisingly, the Activity app (the one with the rings) has completely transformed my body. I know all the tricks it's using to motivate me, but damn it, it works. I make sure to close my rings every single day and it shows: I've lost weight, gained noticeable muscle, and went down a notch in my belt. Oh, and I've heard it also tells time.
This should be obvious to anyone knowing anything about economics. It boggles my mind that a progressive (aka smart legislators) country like CA would produce such an obviously bad policy.

You are changing the problem at hand. It is not how to create a distance relation, it is how to add more data to an existing edge. To do that in RDF you need reification, which is notoriously painful[1]. Moreover <http://www.my_cool_domain.fr/prop/distance54> is not equal to "54" and 54 cannot be inferred from it because URI are opaques. In addition, you have now a totally different property than those of every pair of cities that are not 54 km afar. So, RDF have some strengths and good points but in the current case it is creating unnecessary problems to encode a very simple situation.

I thought about that. But recently evaluated panels on my 3000sqft home and the cost was $16k. Assuming that average installations are for less capacity, an average of $10k increase would probably not impact new house construction. Especially since the cost is offset by low energy payments and increase in home value.

in my previous workplace, we had remote engineers from Portugal and Kenya, both cheap countries to live. we paid them based on their local market rates. I still don't know if it's good or bad but I do know that if you'll pay someone in Kenya a SF salary it will unbalance the local market.

I think you are seeing a more extreme position than they were taking.

It's not that there isn't value in having friendly relationships with your colleagues no matter their gender. The issue comes up in comparing the value of a specific relationship with the potential costs of it (or attempting to create it).

Right or wrong, befriending a male colleague has virtually zero risk. The chances of anything happening to severely damage your career or social standing are essentially nil. Even in a severe situation, there isn't much you can do to cause a problem without acting in a pretty horrible way that's also documented. There just isn't much you can do there to really provoke a highly emotional reaction or scare HR.

The same cannot be said of attempting a relationship with a woman. People are very sensitive about sexual harassment and HR wants absolutely nothing to do with it. The exact lines for sexual harassment are necessarily a bit blurry. Even if they existed, continually just barely not crossing them would seem like harassment to me.

Is the friendly relationship with a woman coworker so much more valuable than a man that it is worth taking on additional risk? I don't think so.

I don't intend to have a particularly strong relationship with all my coworkers and I imagine most people are the same. This means I get to be choosy about which ones I engage in this way. The risk-reward ratio just doesn't seem favorable to engaging women in this way.

Now, personally speaking I have slightly more female friends than male friends, unless we're counting people I might talk to once every few years. My oldest friend, by far, is female. I would never suggest men should not be friends with women. That's insane. I'm just not sure what the incentives are for me to try to specifically befriend female coworkers.
In defense of the pencil, as terrible as it seems, the charging method has a functional reason behind it. You can't expect to keep it charged, therefore there must be a way to charge instantly with what you're guaranteed to have on hand. If it had been designed any differently, there would be a litany of complaints about having to always carry a dongle or cable or something.
There were some good points in here:

- Differentiating based on location can create an HR risk/burden.

- After you subtract out living costs, people living in a more desirable area still end up better compensated because they live in a more desirable area, with the associated cost difference subsidized by the employer.
If you're already accessing it from within GCP, their network is excellent, not much lower latency than a high-quality internal physical network (under an order of magnitude) and highly flexible and configurable. In that use case it should be comparable to any solution you can host within GCP except hosting on the same instance as each client and using loopback access.

For accessing from outside GCP, yeah the broader internet latency would figure into this as any other external solution.
How about the clothes you are wearing, do you think they get your the same wage as a worker in the US or Europe? But I bet you like the cheap clothes...

Your Amazon warehouse workers... the aviation repair people in El Salvador... the list is endless. Offshoring can make certain products cheaper and software is no exception.

Software is particular because it is not tied to production location, but that does not mean you are not subject to market forces.
Fine, but the argument above didn't seem to paint this as a "terrible" law, just a suboptimal one. If you want to argue that it's terrible, feel free. My view is that it achieves a valuable goal with relatively low cost (but not free) and few (but non-zero) inconvenient side effects.
Well, the simplified Econ 101 models (which might be described as “basic econ”) will tell you that, but actual studies of human behavior will tell you those models don't represent reality in broad swathes of real economic activity.
So instead of "befriend her", you're suggesting "get new clothes and a nice haircut and then befriend her"? No thanks--I have enough friends.

Bio, Chem, (and Bio E, Chem E) and Med seemed to have good gender balance when I was in college 10 years ago. Physics, Mathematics, and the other Engineering disciplines seemed to have much more skew (my EE class was something like 40 men and 3 women).

Stanford CS was apparently 70:30 in 2015, an improvement over 80:20 just 3 years prior. As CS is increasingly seen as a pragmatic, lucrative career, we will likely continue to see the gender gap shrink. https://medium.com/@jcueto/race-and-gender-among-computer-sc...
I have mixed feelings towards the bus. The light rail is okay, the underground is great, but the bus experience is...greatly variable.
I've seen women call men creepy for literally no reason (this is more common in pre-college aged girls), I assume it's equivalent to "you're ugly and not a person to me and I'm offended you tried to talk to me (even if it was purely school assignment related)". I've even met one girl who _wanted_ it to be a term of endearment (considering the above, there was no way that was going to work). I've also seen a shit-ton of creepy borderline sociopathic behavior from males, much of it gone uncalled out (by the supposedly sane males who were standing by), which often will lead to a woman calling the person creepy (and hopefully she isn't physicslly hurt in addition to merely the scare of something terrible about to happen).

You are both getting into a weird sort of definition fight here.

Pay is a reflection of market demand, not the monetary value you bring to a company which is not easily quantifiable.

Walmart wouldn't function without someone at the register, but how much "value" that person at the register brings doesn't dictate their salary. The supply of people who could do the same job does.
~10% of that is also Wences own money. Not sure why he got left off the crypto rich list.
We should be unwilling to compromise on certain issues. Civil rights is one that many people would point to that should not be compromised. It is one reason why Hillary Clinton was criticized by progressives during the 2016 campaign for previously being against gay marriage and pro civil unions. That was the politically expedient position at the time, but it was also a compromise of morals.

I wanted to as well. I used to sort of hover behind the boys playing Oregon Trail or making stuff in Hypercard or whatever, trying to participate. They ignored me like I wasn't even there. Gave up after a while.
I collect Maps of the World in a Dropbox folder, and tell Windows auto rotate to use this folder. So I see a different perspective or interpretation of "The World" every 10 minutes.

Some are just regions - USA, Europe, China, etc. Most are actual maps - places listed by Google searches or names translated from their native tongue, etc. A few are visualizations of the tallest mountains or longest rivers.
Yes. Do some research and improve your skills. There are panels and podcasts, articles and threads where women explain the dos and don'ts in the workplace.
On the other hand, even a laptop mic would be better than MP3 wouldn't it? Granted, the quality of the recording would be bad, but the point of FLAC is to get an authentic reproduction of the original recording (however bad it may have been), without extra compression artifacts.
The self-conciousness, the fawning... This was a toe-curling read. And then it turns out ultimately Steve Jobs did not give a flying fuck about watches but happily wore a cheapo Seiko on the few occasions that he did use one. Ouch. Yet the author's great regret is that he did not get to spend ~$50,000 on that watch, as if it is has some special significance, rather than being a statement of the opposite, that takes missing the point to another level.

I'm not saying there is not a finer point to extremely expensive watches, beyond the status symbolism, but this article kind of makes me think, no.
I agree, Math and Physics are in many ways similar to CS, and yet have more women.

I think it might be useful to ask: In what ways are Math and Physics are different from the programming field? I think the requirement to work together on larger projects is different. What is the gender distribution of physicists working at CERN?

My experience in school is that the smartest girls studied a lot more, and the smartest guys messed around a lot more.

Sounds about right.

CS is programming and programming is a lot of messing around.

Is it? Back in the day, there were CS professors who proudly declared they didn't like programming.

You should probably re-examine whether any of these things are necessary for a fruitful professional relationship and to what extent your merger of your social and professional life excludes current and potential coworkers who are not some close variant of you and your pals.

I suspect the uncomfortable truth behind a lot of the problems regarding public transit isn't the transit itself, but the passengers. If you had the choice of riding a public bus with a large collection of the public or paying a few bucks and selecting a preferred subset of the ridership (e.g. chariot in SF, uber, lyft, etc.) I think most will choose the non-bus option to feel comfortable during their ride.

I'm not saying that this is a morally acceptable thing, I just suspect this is a significant reason why bus ridership has been declining.
You've got a 1-bit DAC at the end of the chain regardless. Making it sound "better" by filtering in a 4GHz processor is golden ear nonsense.
With respect to Ive, I think there's something to be said of being in the right place at the right time.

Steve Jobs was the rare executive who truly valued design. He did not nickel and dime on design even when it added cost. Most designers at other companies would likely get shot down any time they presented a novel idea that might be a little harder or expensive to manufacture.

I don't think you can achieve greatness in a vacuum, and I tend to think that Ive was very fortunate to be working for Apple under Jobs. Had he been at any other company, I don't think any of us would have even heard of him.

This is an unfortunate trend I continue to see: Where a company with a positive reputation, say Google, is given the most altruistic read on what their decision is for, and a company with a negative reputation, like Comcast, is assumed to be evil.

Many people's issues are, in fact, solved by the Comcast automated system. Generally if you call in to report an outage, and it knows that there's an outage associated with your area already based on the phone number you call from, it'll drop you out of the tech support queue, let you know that the outage is there, and what time it is expected to be resolved. This is the most common reason I call Comcast, and most of the time, it's an outage they already knew about, so this saves me time. (Of course, the times the line just to my building was severed, getting to an actual human to explain my problem is much, much harder.)

Similarly, all of the automated features to trigger remote resets of your modem have been implemented specifically so that if you have a simple problem (as most people do), you can get it quickly and automatically resolved without having to wait for an available human. I know how to reset my own dang modem, so this just adds another burdensome and annoying step for me... but for the average user, it's probably wildly successful at concluding calls. I assume.

But sometimes, when you or I call, we probably have more specific or detailed needs, and find this entire process absolutely horrific to suffer through. But surely, just like the Googlers who thought Duplex was a good idea, someone at Comcast realized it would drastically reduce call volume and speed response time if an automated system could do simple tasks automatically.

Similarly, Duplex will probably do it's job: It'll make it easier for people who don't want to be bothered to make a phone call to schedule an appointment. It'll reduce their call volume. But the humans who have to interface with it will likely find it exasperating.
The article assumes Uber can go on offering cheaper rides forever, but every piece of serious analysis I've read comes to the conclusion that Uber must eventually raise its prices to sustain its business. Nothing in the NYT article attacks dynamic pricing, to the contrary it reads to me as endorsing the idea of dynamic pricing. The whole blog post is flimsy.

why use "deep reinforcement learning" at all, is there any basis to believe it's a valid model of biological learning?
The big difference is that biological neurons emit binary outputs. Because of this, there’s no gradient and they can’t be trained by SGD.
You're actually asking for citations for the idea that the theoretical point of Bitcoin is reducing government control of money and a large practical part of the BTC economy is regulatory evasion?!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the steel industry, aluminium industry, chemical industry, textile industry and copper industry have done more for humanity than Bitcoin. Use less electricity though...

YMMV, but I think it is more pragmatic, sensible, likely and beneficial to stop shitting on people's lawns than to evangelise wider adoption of a system for producing more shit, funnelling it more efficiently to lawns less likely to attract the attention of shit regulators, whilst insisting the real problem is that the lack of a global shit tax.

I see these kind of projects often, and I’m not sure how I feel about them. Art is more than just something nice to look at. By turning these pieces of art into wallpapers, it feels like the meaning, context, and significance are being stripped away. And you are missing the entire point. I could be entirely wrong as I’m no art expert.

Is it? I mean, I guess perhaps so - but I find a physical artifact far easier to remember than "must open app X/Y/Z" on all my devices. Like my glasses or wallet or keys or phone, it has a literal presence. In 12 years of carrying a notepad and pen around, all over the world, I've literally never forgotten it once.

I mean, the name and everything indicate a much, much stronger emphasis on failures.

Probably not. Large buildings will never be able to supply their own power, so every major city is going to still need gobs of the stuff.

Most power plants have a linear scaling cost. They can add and remove generators as needed.
Jesus. We're really reaching an age in which it's too inconvenient to talk to other people. I gotta wonder if the huge spike in anxiety disorders is somehow connected in there somewhere.

We're not using technology to do fantastic things. We're largely using it to enable fantastic laziness and entertain the habitually bored. I wonder what trivial little convenience would actually spur us to draw the line and say "Enough. Get out of my life." I'm envisioning a device which would access all your most secret sexual urges, but it would allow you to fart while sitting down without lifting one ass cheek. I bet we'd leap at that.

I'm extremely disappointed in us.
Is there any reason Dendrite hasn't gotten more attention than it has? I can understand why you wouldn't want to write a new homeserver to begin with, but I'd think you'd want to focus heavily on it once you made that decision.

Speaking of Dendrite, do you all have a general idea when it will be production-ready? I'm looking forward to being able to use it, even before it's hit full feature parity with Synapse. Just out of curiosity, how beefy is the server that the Matrix.org homeserver runs on? My VPS basically had a meltdown when I opened #matrix:matrix.org, and it wasn't even hosting the channel.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased with Matrix. It does pretty much everything I could ask, and seems very nice to develop against. The only problems I've had with it in my past few months of (admittedly, relatively light) use were related to misconfiguration on my end and Matrix.org being cripplingly overburdened.
