Just went through this and donglegate. The one saving grace is I can now charge my Android phone from my laptop charger and the cable is removable and USB. Now I just need to get rid of my other 40 microUSB devices. Course now I'm worried about voltage regulation and plugging in something and zapping it but I'm assuming USB-C has safeguards in place. As in plugging my headphones into my laptop charger brick via USB-C, etc.

I think we might finally hit a point in time where everything starts to be USB powered and not proprietary cables plugging into bricks (ha yeah right).
If you lose a piece of an old memory from sleep deprivation, you are not going to magically get it back once you catch up on your sleep. It has happened to me when I pulled all-nighters. I just couldn't remember that friend's name or that old password.

Why do you say you won't be buying a house within seven years of graduating? I bought a house a little less than seven years after graduation. The guy next door bought his house like 2 years after graduation, since it was a bit of a fixer-upper he paid about 65% of what I paid for my house.

The median price of houses sold in the US is around $200,000. If you have a good job you can afford a house in 99% of America. And, indeed, there are more homeowners than renters.
GitLab the company was cash flow profitable in the first quarter, with 90% margins and doubling incremental revenue (IACV) YoY. We're very much default alive.

Our biggest customer installation had a serious problem in 2015 and we addressed it. We have customers switching from GHE because of the reliability of GitLab self hosted. There are problems on GitLab.com, we made solving that harder because we insist on running the same code our customers are running, so we'll never have a repeat of 2015.

We would love to get in touch to discuss any performance problems you're still having.
Yes it is like a credit card. You have to make payments and it reduces your cash flow. The Federal Reserve prints money not the government. And payments aren’t made with printed money.

"Epitaph Of A Small Winner" and "Dom Casmurro" by Machado de Assis. He's written a great many other books besides those, but they're the best of the bunch. In Brazil he's a national hero, but while much of his work is available in English it's astoundingly under-appreciated.

To generalize, the fallacy of libertarianism as a whole is thinking that (in a democratic society) the government is "other", that taxation is them "taking away", etc., and that the answer is to disconnect from the government as much as possible.

But the government will always be the most powerful institution, and in democracies that's a good thing! Despite all its flaws, it is the only institution that's required even in theory to represent the interests of the many instead of the few. If you're worried about personal liberty, you should be more involved in that, not less.

I don't know if it is forgotten/neglected or not, but the product called Magic (with some variations for marketing/tech) from Magic Software Enterprises was somewhat interesting to me. It was a product that let you build CRUD (with maybe some more features) apps rapidly, using something like a GUI tool with just 14 CRUD-related menu actions or so. It may have had a runtime that you could then use to run apps created using that tool, probably in some proprietary format of theirs. I never actually used it. But I heard about it from ex-colleagues in a company where I had worked earlier. They were a small software house developing custom business apps for clients. Soon after I left there, I heard from a friend who still worked there, that they had started using it for building apps for clients, due to the productivity benefits. I think it was originally an Israeli company. They also started a subsidiary in India later, I read.

Nonsense, you can learn it in your spare time bit by bit, the trick is really to take it in small pieces. If you want something for scripting aka fast startup time, then look no further than Clojurescript. There are two standalone Clojurescript environments that you can use to run clojure scripts. [1] Lumo and [2] Planck. For Clojure compiler that spits binaries there is [3] Ferret, but I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know how much of Clojue is implemented.

append has a good reason for that, it can potentially reallocate the slice and return a new pointer. This is an expression of the underlying truth of the implementation that they chose not to abstract over, a decision I personally appreciate.

On the IQ question, from the paper (http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/095679761876805...):

> Intelligence was assessed by asking, “If you could choose your level of intelligence, what level would you choose?” and referring participants to an IQ diagram, with labels for “moderate disability” (40), “below average intelligence” (70), “average intelligence” (100), “above average intelligence” (130), and “exceptionally gifted” (160). Participants were told, “We would like you to indicate your desired intelligence level using an IQ score. NOTE: although IQ has no ‘maximum’ score, a score of 100 indicates an average level of intelligence.” Participants were then asked to write their preferred IQ level in an open-ended box.

Later, from the results section:

> In terms of intelligence, the mean ideal IQ score was distorted by the fact that a small group of participants recorded very high ideal IQ scores (> 1,000), creating positive skew. To adjust for this, we placed an artificial ceiling on scores that corresponded to the highest IQ score ever recorded: 228. After winsorizing the 0.3% of participant responses greater than 228, the mean IQ score was 122.52 (SD = 25.23).

You should read the paper :) Modular implicits are not the same as Scala implicit arguments. Gluon probably just chose the name "implicit arguments" because it corresponds better to their variation on modular implicits.

I had less issues with TouchID on my iPhone 6 than I've had on my iPhone 7 for whatever reason. My hands get pretty oily for whatever reason, the sensor on the iPhone 7 is a lot more picky and I regularly find myself either needing to wipe the home button and my hands down or just sucking it up and entering my passcode.

I'd really like to use a longer passphrase to protect my phone, especially now that iOS 12 has the USB locking feature to protect against threads like greykey - but it's a huge pain in the ass to enter a sufficiently long or complex password or passphrase on a touchscreen keyboard so I haven't bothered due to the aforementioned TouchID issues. I'm actually kind of looking forward to upgrading this year and giving FaceID a go, it's annoying that I have to trade the option of using TouchID for it but all the anecdotal evidence I've found presents a more consistent experience.
Part of my point is that I think the cause-effect relationship may be reversed anyway. Texas is also so hot in the summer that people will not be walking outside for any appreciable period of time; it becomes a health risk after a certain point when temperatures can be above 100F / 90% humidity for months on end.

It’s not an accident that Texas looked more like Montana in 1900 than California. The mass adoption of automobiles and air conditioning made large cities in Texas possible; and the low population density made land cheap.

The centers of most big southern cities were never walkable. Most of those cities would never have existed without cars. I don’t know how you introduce density into a situation like that, and I don’t think zoning rules would be able to undo the damage of the last century. These cities were built around cars, and you can’t just roll that back without remaking the whole city and displacing many, many people.

Books by P. G. Wodehouse. English author, an outstanding humorist.
Agreed. There are multiple translations of de Assis's major works into English, and they are remarkably dissimilar, so that is a hint right there as to how the translation process is itself an art form. (My tastes guide me to the earlier translations, which are slightly less forensically precise but far more readable and musical to the ear.)
>Why is it important that we [[know this]] ?

Because we are supposed to believe that the life of a homeless has somehow less value than any other human life and/or that probably (because she was homeless) she was a bit nuts and acted recklessly or however without the same attention/carefulness that is proper for non-homeless (please read as "normal") people.

It is easy to see the "hey, but she unlawfully and suddenly crossed the road at a location other than a marked crosswalk" sort of defense by Uber (besides putting the blame on Vasquez).

BTW, it doesn't seem to exist "full" evidence Vasquez was actually watching the streaming, I mean, maybe (just maybe) she was just listening to it, like anyone would listen to the radio or a playing MP3 while driving.

The first thing I would make compulsory would be a sort of heads-up display, so that there couldn't be any possible reason why a driver would actually look down for 5 seconds.
They are useful if you only use them for simple things. Any queries which are non-trivial or aren't cleanly expressed in your object model can lead to absolutely monstrous queries.

I once saw a 1000 line query - which unsurprisingly timed out - generated for getting a single user record from the database! There were several lookups to rate limit failed login attempts etc, however this should be a couple of lines of efficient sql if hand rolled.

I can tolerate something like Rails' ActiveRecord if used with restraint. E.g.

user.addresses << Address.new(blah)

Is very useful, it doesn't get in the way and does all the boring stuff for me. People just need to learn this isn't the only way to access the database, and you can drop to sql if you need to.

Fortunately I started developing at a time where there were no ORMs, but I fear there is a new generation of devs who see SQL as some esoteric ASM for databases.

Also, I disagree with database portability as an argument for ORMs. All abstractions are leaky, and trying to unify everything will stop you taking full advantage of your data-store of choice
Usually not into fantasy, but La Horde du Contrevent is a French fantasy classic, written by Alain Damasio, which was published in 2004. He went later on to collaborate on a few games that might be more known in the US (Life Is Strange, Remember Me). Damasio has a creative use of the language, but which must then make it hellish to translate into any other language. According to Wikipedia, it has only been translated in Italian.

ObjectSpace Voyager. It was a Java product for mobile code/agents, etc. From the company called ObjectSpace.com . Pretty interesting product. I had downloaded a free edition of it and played around it for a while. IIRC, it did what it claimed to do. For some reason, it did not seem to take off. IIRC, ObjectSpace was also the company that developed JGL (the Java Generic Library), before Java itself got generics, and also, one of the people involved in it was Graham Glass, who later joined WebMethods, and had developed ElectricXML earlier (I think).

I'd say the only reason HDMI still exists is because everything has HDMI built in. The best standard doesn't always win, the most prolific one does.
linked merge requests would be my killer feature. VERY often we need to change multiple repositories at the same time. Like for example backend+frontend changes that's in different repositories. Having a linkage between them, that would make them be merged together would be awesome. And also prevent merge if one is "wip" or unresolved discussions etc...
I think this demo was created recently, and the old article linked in the demo is there only for background info, as the author explained in one of the comments below.

TensorFlow.js only came out this year and the interactive sketch-rnn JavaScript browser demo that this was based off of is also quite recent.
I thought the big "idea" part of the comment was that investors are distorting markets with huge subsidies. Another idea is that parts of the HN community itself have a disturbing relationship with this practice. But someone can still get those ideas across without calling downvoters "bootlickers"!
This discussion was about replacing HDMI with USB C -- I presumed on both ends. Switching USB C to HDMI alt mode and then running a HDMI cable is not replacing HDMI with USB C. Let's not even mention I am unaware of any product switching USB C to HDMI alt mode. All the available USB C to HDMI converters are using DisplayPort alt mode and an active converter, packed in one IC.
You're talking about launching a Mars colony, to build a massive industry, to provide materials for Earth-orbit systems... that looks like a massive complication to say the least. Yes, Earth launch costs are high -- but those exact launch costs would be necessary for almost every equipment put on Mars, at least until you have a large self-sustaining colony. Imagine the cost of power that needs solar panels brought from Earth, necessary tools, the costs of maintaining the crew, ... . $50/kg of steel produced under those conditions seems absurdly cheap.

And then to sustain this massive operation you need a massive demand. You'd need millions of tons of steel of demand to make the colossal investments (of perhaps billions/year) viable. And then the demand for the primary applications needs to be even larger. I don't know much about the applications you've cited, but I'd find it hard to believe you could get demand in tens or hundreds of billions per year. They look essentially like niche applications that can be fulfilled by a low-cost launch system. Remember that the FH costs about $1700/kg (and cost probably be cut in half or better with several billions in annual demand).

I.e. I'm not convinced. That said, I think under a very long term (perhaps by the end of the century), the objective of a self-sustaining colony is worthwhile.

Before economic viability of any enterprise, a massive amount of systems will need to be developed enabling manufacturing basic tools and materials in situ. It's basically reinvention of industry from scratch but with much more strict requirements and much thinner margins for sustenance. A first step would be probably local production of solar panels, food, structural materials, habitats. The basic elements of self-sustenance. Then gradually moving up the technology ladder until import dependence from Earth would be at a minimum. Only then it starts to become viable and thinkable to have small martian exports for orbital systems, tourism, culture and media (I imagine showcasing life on Mars would get quite an audience on Earth), perhaps low-bandwidth scientific computing. This will probably take centuries but is an important step for humanity. Sooner or later we have to get off this rock, there's an entire universe out there waiting for life...
