I had the alternator fail on me while driving, though with a working battery.

It was at night and I made it about 70 miles, mostly on the interstate. The headlights were noticeably weaker by the end.

That was in line with the estimate of 3 hours at the end of this piece.
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

That’s ancient history, particularly with these recent launches, as Google Cloud has become a real platform.

This is vanilla node. You need not use Datastore, and can happily talk to a managed MySQL or Postgres instance via Cloud SQL (albeit sadly still via public IP and/or a proxy for now). The same is true of the recent Java 8 support, and will be true of all the new runtimes going forward (as mentioned downthread, the Google I/O talk is the best reference here).

Google Cloud Functions is similar, fwiw. You can even package up arbitrary binaries and exec them (ffmpeg is a favorite, as is imagemagick’s convert).
It's funny but looking at those prediction graphs bouncing up and down like crazy ... one immediately thinks "yep I know, that's exactly what they said would happen if I used polynomials for fitting functions". And yes, that's what polynomials do.

They don't have good local behavior: if a -> f(a) and b -> f(b) are fitted with a higher-degree polynomial then the image of f between a and b will often be infinite (meaning there is some value x between a and b where f(x) is infinite), starting at very high degrees (ie. deep networks) there will probably be many such points.

Intuitively I think of it like this: if you look at the "real world" as a function you can make a couple of very general observations. F(x) -> doesn't have very much information about the world, and it's very hard to make sense of. Most of it just doesn't seem relevant. d/dx F(x) ... much more relevant. d^2/dx F(x) ... also pretty interesting. d^3/dx F(x) less interesting but occasionally important. d^4/dx F(x) ... nobody cares (also if you take camera images and calculate this, it'll be almost exclusively zeroes).

Secondly there are strong "domains" in the real world that we just seem to be unwilling to accept. Polynomials are good in the sense that if you get the equation for a stone dropping onto your foot really, really tighly correctly fitted, that equation holds up for the movement of an entire planet, which is great. But why bother ? It is much more valuable to be able to predict whether a stone will fall on my foot than how Venus will move. That's if you get it right. If you get the polynomial degree of your equation wrong ... it makes utterly ridiculous predictions. Many other approximation methods don't suffer from this problem

Doesn't happen with spline, beziers, even taylor approximations have better behavior.
I found this useful when writing a webproxy for fun. You normally need to rewrite all the links to feed back into the webproxy, but this is useful for relative links that slip by because they were added dynamically by Javascript.

Can you elaborate on this workflow? Got me interested. What editor is that? Can iOS Host a server (localhost)?
It doesn't set the precedent that Google can do whatever they want. Either they already could because of their size and that's already a problem the world should solve even if they haven't used the power yet, or they can only do this because people think it's a reasonable idea and don't object.
True, but I think they were alluding to the difference in outlook that suggests who takes responsibility for the downsides. One way is using it as an excuse to dismiss others concerns and the other way is having empathy toward how your situatiom affects others and acknowledging their side of the same challenge.
How to make your website load faster in browsers
So you think it's reasonable to compare the rates that humans not only get into crashes, but actually die (or kill) in crashes - to the rates that a human takes over for an early alpha tech version of self driving vehicles?

Your stats not even remotely "illustrative" of anything other than what they say of the presenter.
This is the only missing piece that has held me back from jumping into Vue. I know its not the most advantageous aspect of the framework, but my personal favorite aspect of it is the single file components. Being able to create a complete logical unit of UI of in one file feels more natural and produtive. All the speed of inline styles without the guilt and shame.
People have a tendency to stay home more and "nest" during a recession. Or if they do go out, like in the last recession, people went to the movies. Which is why theaters rebounded in 2009-2010.

You don't have to. Big chunks of it can be difficult to follow without the historical context Solzhenitsyn assumes the reader has - that you'd have to get elsewhere. More importantly though, you don't really have to read it in order, you can poke around the ToC and find stuff that doesn't require knowledge of the details of the early show trials, etc. You can hop over to the chapter on arrests or escape attempts and see how it goes.
GitHub took over for SourceForge during the lost years.

When you guys came back and solicited feedback and ways to improve, I begged you to follow suit.
> If you want to drag something from one full-screen app to another that is not open, you have to use one finger to drag and hold the object, then with another finger you need to summon the Dock to find the app you want and release. Oh and you better hope you had already opened that app earlier to the exact document/file/place where you want to release, otherwise the app won't know what to do and you'll have to release the object then try it again.

You can navigate around while holding those files to exactly where you need to be, then drop them there. No need to release the drag.
So Google is the gatekeeper for tech industry profits now?

It's not the testing, but how it's being tested.

Grading people on how well they can remember dates is easy. Did they get the year something happened correct? One point.

Actually requiring students to write something that requires critical analysis makes it a lot harder to grade tests.

I've been at two startups, one in Boston and one in San Francisco. At the Boston startup, all the founders but one were very much 'in the trenches'; the one who wasn't was a professor splitting her time elsewhere, so it made sense. That company was ~20 people when I joined. At the SF startup, the founder was... (to avoid saying too much) alienating, though the whole company was only four people for much of the time, and never more than eight or so.

In any case, the main thing I want to say is that it doesn't really matter whether they are 'in the trenches.' You are in different realms of existence if you own the company vs. work for it. As a founder, it's your personal creation; as an employee, you may care about the product, but the primary thing is your paycheck (most startup employees I've spoken with are much more mercenary with this than myself, too). You know that if it succeeds, the founder will become rich and famous and enter a social stratum that the employees will still only be able to fantasize about. No one will know their name or grant them ridiculous amounts of respect etc.

Even if none of that comes to fruition, the fact that your potential courses (as they relate to the company) are so divided creates immediate present-term social distance. And you lose the sense of shared struggle—or it's at least on a much lower level.

If you're all equal owners, the feeling of going to work on your shared thing must be very different, I imagine. I think it's probably also necessary to not take investment (or somehow do it in a very low pressure way), in order to have fun like the Id guys.
I know I'm new here but I wish people wouldn't link to bloomberg and other sites (including the NYT) that only let you read X number of "free articles" per month. I know how to get around it, but it is a bother. Anyone else feel this way?

Anyways, I think the idea of cashlessness is not only scary but very impractical. What about, for instance, farmer's markets, yard sales, buying something like a newspaper or pack of gum, etc? Do people really use cards for purchases of a few cents, and do farmers and (let's just say) lemonade stands actually take charge cards? Stupid. And, needless to say to a bunch of hackers, Orwellian as fk.
I think it basically boils down to the prominence of what I call Universal User Experience, which is basically an attempt to give users a similar experience across different device and form factors.

I believe this UUX is the powerhouse behind this second(?) weave of Write Once Run Anywhere and why we have so many libraries with web/html and iOS, Android, and various desktop frontends.
The post was, certainly, as the author alludes to it three fourths of the way through.
4 Practical Ways to Achieve Success with Change Management
https://cryptojobslist.com/jobs/meme-specialist-at-ecos-esto...
Thank you for the video.

As someone who is still in school and struggles with emotion/time management/procrastination, I was particularly hit by "focus on goals that are after which you wish to achieve." People around me have pointed this out to me, but it was only until recently did I realize how serious it was.

I think that my impulsive nature and addiction to novelty fuel this problem. Even browsing Hacker News is a manifestation of this. HN always has some cool idea that I could be studying or hacking on when I have free time. But I spend too much time thinking about possibilities than getting done what's right in front of me, because I'm addicted to novelty. I especially neglect school work, which isn't boring at all and rather fascinating and useful, and instead try to find weird things to explore. My huge queue on Pocket is one of many testaments to this. The result is poor, and I feel miserable and disappointed in myself.

Of course, as the video touches upon, modern technology (social media, apps, even internet pornography) exploits humans' desire for novelty (though as previously explained, I think I'm far more vulnerable than average). The video helped me see the connection between my habit and this tendency.
It's not just the USA that his this problem. It seems to be a global problem.

I think that a large part of it is that we like to break up the curriculum into little compartments, rather than treating it as a series of interrelated components. There's history to be learned in science, and there's science to be learned in history, for example. But we treat science and history as two completely separate entities.
Vue is more beginner friendly. It's easier to learn (particularly for people coming from Angular Js background). As a RN developer you won't be getting any benefits as such. If you're already comfortable with React and JSX then jumping to Vue-Native won't be of any use. But if you're purely a HTML, CSS, jQuery dev and want to get into mobile app dev, I guess Vue-Native will be quite easy to learn and build production ready apps.

Eh, seems like a stretch to me. At the end of the day making usable UIs is hard, and any decent guideline that a non-visual person like me can follow is a good thing. My thanks goes out to all the designers and UI engineers that have put the time into producing high quality documentation.
They are doing a similar thing as a bank. They are using their position as trustworthy and reliable to take money from people with low risk appetite (bondholders) and handing it to money with higher risk appetite (stockholders) so they can invest it.

This increases the risk that Apple crashes and burns but (ideally) the increase is low enough that all parties come out ahead.
Yes it'd be a shame if, in the long run, Japan stabilized its population growth or even shrank down to what was sustainable for several thousand years.

Japan is the size of California, and its population is 127 million or more than 3x that of CA. The average size of a single family dwelling is less than half that of the US. Japan cannot feed itself, nor power itself, and depends on open trade and foreign countries for almost all its natural resources.

This was not always the case, though. Their growth outgrew their borders in the early 21st century - they were forced to expand into their neighbors' yards for space and resources, and we all know how well that turned out.

Maybe the idea of endless exponential population growth isn't the best idea, and if Japan would prefer to keep their culture instead of bowing down to the globalist elites who want open borders, never-ending GDP growth and markets, I give them credit.

What we are doing in the West with unlimited immigration and forced diversity will not end well, IMO.

That’s part of it, but mostly, it’s about thinking if the worst thing that can happen and how would you deal with it: do you bleed out peacefully or crying?

We are always thinking nothing will happen to us, yet, we’ve all here have had problems, accidental or due to our own stupidity, that have already changed the course of our life for the worse.

Seneca says it’s worth thinking about that every day to find peace of mind.

Any exercise reduces depression, even just walking or something as simple as doing dishes.

The brain needs a lot of oxygen. This is obtained from blood. Which needs to circulate. Which comes from exercise.

This is such a no-brainer, how do they even make an article about it?

Unless I am missing something, even if the code has latent features, you should still be able to discover the "fan" in-fact has files and those files have code, which would be a red flag right?

My point is that instead of doing any investigative journalist work; "journalist" just decided to take to Twitter and proclaim the fan as hostile. The lack of facts and reason over emotion is my frustration. A recurring theme lately.
>Programmers that comment on Hacker News or Proggit links are not a randomly sampled cross section of the industry. They’re better.

Elle Reevesis an example of why Vice has gone to the shit.

Rather than showing alternate perspectives she moralises, plays straight into virtue signaling and all the other things wrong with the current great divide that society is becoming.

You come out of the Charlottesville episode having no idea what's really going on, just reinforcement of the predefined values you already had. There was no attempt to understand it, it was just a "Yes, it's us against them" view point.

Unlike earlier Vice which did have value, it just reported. They just showed it the way it was and allowed a lot more facts come through.

The Charlottesville episode had zero value if you actually wanted analysis of the situation and learn about the movements and politics at play.
It's a choice. Basically you have Java, Kotlin, C# and SWIFT for native apps, why use React Native. If you learning React is easier for web dev, then I'll say Vue is even easier for them. If you know React then Vue-Native isn't worth it.
React native afaik is more about the native components, written in the target language, that receive information from the javascript code. This allows for smooth animations and in general a more responsive interface, as well as a more native look and feel than components made from html.
And what if you lose your fingers and can’t code anymore?
100% native Go support for Oracle sounds amazing (I'm reading that as meaning no instantclient sdk requirement, just to confirm (which might be wrong...)).

Is there an issue/pr/library for that work? It will very much enter the toolbox for all situations if that can happen :-) (Looking for something better than sqlplus is always why I end up looking into usql...)

usql is super cool, thank you for all the work you've done with it :-)
(I work at Stripe.)

You might wonder "Hmm, is my Stripe integration affected?" (I sure did!) and the answer is "Almost certainly not." (We've been watching the number of users with outdated versions of TLS on a dashboard for the last several months and actively working on getting people migrated.)

If your integration was affected, it is likely you've gotten a few emails from us and also a notification in your Stripe dashboard. If you don't see a prominent banner when you log in (with additional detail in your Developer tab of the dashboard), you're probably good.

If you have any questions, email support@stripe.com ; we're happy to help.
The difference is that I have one choice of ISP and many choices of over-the-top content, none of which can e.g. restrict my ability to access things unrelated to their service as an ISP can. It's apples v oranges.

You know walking is one of the best forms of exercise, right? Just take a walk.
Reminds me of Victor Frankl's book, Man's search for meaning. Very profound.
If you have tons of cash from overseas revenues that you have sitting in your offshore subsidiaries that you don't want to pay domestic taxes on, and you can use that overseas cash as collateral for low-interest loans domestically, and you believe corporate taxes on overseas earnings brought onshore will likely be lower in the future, then it makes sense to pay dividends and buy back shares using onshore loans against offshore holdings.

Though, for buybacks, I wonder why the overseas subsidiary doesn't buy shares of the domestic parent. Perhaps that tax loophole has already been plugged.

[1] says 92.2 million barrels of oil produced per day. [2] says 7.33 barrels / metric ton.

That would put annual crude oil production at roughly

((92.2 * 10 ^ 6) / 7.33) * 365 = 4,591,132,332 (4.59 billion) metric tons.

The implied answer "crude oil production dwarfs vegetable oil production" is still valid even after correcting the crude oil numbers, of course.

You can't count on the average, however; by definition it'll often be below that. There are studies that show you can reliably count on about 4% for long-term investment, even if you have to ride out a crash.
From the page you linked: "Events emitted by a Web Component may not properly propagate through a React render tree."

React components are brittle, that's not FUD. For example, CSS classes used by React components can clash with other React components, or with the page that includes them. What's FUD about that?
I guess I would start here, and then use that as a jomping off point.

https://equitablegrowth.org/hourly-piketty-paul-krugman-gatt...

Part of what makes this problem hard, is if Piketty is really right, we don't necessarily know what policies we should be following. It's unclear how we change the equation at this point.

Piketty seems to think that tax hikes on the rich might work. But that is really just a theory.

It just seems like an odd tooling choice. The rest of the VR ecosystem uses completely different tooling and languages. Why not build a good GUI library in one of those? I just don't see what React brings to the table I guess.
Oh look, another “native” nonsense.
It does wander quite a bit (such as the section on maintaining a static-site blog), but I was fascinated because the topics were generally things I have experience with.

To answer your question, Paul made much of his work for the past several months on his iPad Pro, including the blog post that we are reading.
Not sure about current browsers, but a few years ago setting innerHTML was significantly faster than the other DOM APIs.

But in any event SVG path strings (and other element attributes) are inherently strings, there’s nothing you can do to get around that.

Weex lacks english documentation and most of the Weex devs are from China and support forums also tend to be in Chinese. By far RN has best documentation and plugin / package ecosystem. A full fledged app can be built using RN. Whereas it'll be hard for Weex, Vue-Native. Just search for Google Maps package for any of these frameworks, you'll have tough time finding any (barring React Native)
If I'm understand you correctly, what you're asking is an undecidable problem.
Yes! :) I've been using VueJS for awhile and my next step was to create a mobile app - either via RN or even Flutter. But, hello vue-native!
The rest on my list were all <5g of sugar per serving. I explicitly checked most of them.

There are several other similar commonly available breakfast cereals which also have <5g of sugar per serving.

I can believe that your particular market didn’t stock any of the 50-year-old classic cereal brands and only stocked sugar-added cereals (frosted this, honey that, marshmallow everything), but among American markets I have seen it is typical to have at least 4 or 5 choices of low-sugar cold breakfast cereals on the shelf, as well as several choices of low-sugar hot cereals. [Of course, as I said before, they are all still pure processed carbs, and not the best regular breakfast.]
My dad-in-law has a CS degree that be got in like 1968, and there were a lot of folks in the field at that time according to him.

I get the impression from him that largely, in the pre-RMS era anyway, regular programmers were just like any other type of engineerish folk
