I’ve been PI on a number of SBIR and other us government funded R&D projects. In my experience, the way to win an award is to market the idea to a potential govt sponsor. Sell them on your solution and then try to get them to write a public solicitation the general specs and requirements that exactly match what you have/want to do. It doesn’t guarantee funding, but is way higher chance than just responding to a solicitation you just happened upon.

It is however the most murderous one.
Firebase suits my needs almost perfectly for projects where I'd rather focus on the front-end and design than maintaining a back-end, since I'm only using it for very small apps and sites.

Past that, I'm fond of Node, but that may be an unpopular thing to say on HN. :)
There is IMO a lot of value in decoupling the editor from the debugger.
Chiming in to say I agree with this viewpoint -- I think conflating centralization as the only way to provide the convenience, indexing, free hosting, etc is definitely what happens when people say that decentralized solutions can't work.

Two big blockers that I rarely see discussed for the decentralized future coming to pass:

- (D)DNS for the 1+ persistent devices per/user (IPV6 support/rollout basically)

- Lowering the barrier to entry for running a server on a users' behalf

If we really want the internet to be a web, we need to make it easier to run servers that act on behalf of users/hold their data, that they control.

If you'll indulge me, I've had in the back of my mind a project for a long time, a <$30 home-server (I'd call it "the tube" or "pipe") that has a cheaper but good-enough set of functionality that you get from the internet giants today:

- Document management and storage

- Backups (connect your local "pipe" to a backup storage provider)

- Chat/Messaging, SIP + Video conferencing

- Local networked/mesh services spanning from blogging, social networking, ecommerce, whatever.

I'm very much of the I-just-want-to-write-software so I preoccupy myself thinking of what tech I'd use to make it happen, but I think this is the kind of project that people need to really embrace the internet as a sparse group of interconnected nodes.

I also think that humans are ready to accept this kind of structure -- we already have it! People can understand that if you want a storefront to be up all the time, you need to have something run it all the time, the power to run it just isn't in their hands yet.

Of course, startups are hard, hardware startups are harder, and consumer product hardware+software startups are pretty hard, so it's much easier said than done. Decentralized systems absolutely can work, but the amount of work, fore-thought, and careful construction with consideration for generating network effects and making it easier for people to run and use -- basically good product design -- is just missing in the open source world, because it's hard.

Aren't customers on the hook regardless? PG&E gets it's money from customers, which would imply that customers are paying would be the ones to pay down the debt. Maybe they mean customers are a captive audience, and rates could be raised to cover the costs of the debt without impacting PG&E's profits.

While I understand the OP's issue with the paper, I also feel that there is scope for the "We tried this and the improvement we got was minimalistic, so you should probably try a different approach" kind of paper.

But OTOH, I agree that with the current "hype" around Deep learning, accompanied by the beginning of an "DL winter" in revolutionary papers means that academicians and companies which are set up in a "publish or perish" state of mind end up in a rush to publish even the smallest of modifications/enhancements.

I understand that I'm arguing both sides of the table here, but at the end of the day I'd rather have these papers published than not, as long as they end up in public domain and can somehow be viewed more as experimental papers than purely theoretical ones.

I would say it also lowers the barrier to entry.

Previously, you had to add a `debugger;`, visit "chrome://inspect/" in the browser, click "Open dedicated DevTools for Node", and leave it open while running node (mocha tests, in my team's case) from the CLI with --inspect. None of that is hard, and certainly it's much easier than previous alternatives, but it's still enough that it needs instructions. I got it set up for my team and made our test script print out those instructions, but even so, I think most developers viewed it as more of an "advanced" mode for when a test issue is really hard to track down.

With this new way, you run the test in debug mode and it pops up a window with everything set up already, no need for instructions. I'm hoping it'll make debugging easy/welcoming enough that more people will use a debugger as their default way to work on code.

I think it is hard to not say that part of Silicon Valleys success is because of diversity and that part of the diversity is as simple as "gender, race and sexual orientation". I isn't a political correct things to say but Japanese, Korean and to some extent Chinese people are generally better organized, harder working and smarter than Americans. But they are also to a large extent also culturally isolated. Which makes their societies full of social rules. We can certainly question how much of a meritocracy the US is, but it certainly is to a large extent compared to the mentioned countries.

It isn't even that diversity itself being new perspectives, it is that non-diversity excludes people. And in highly uncertain activities it is all about how many people you can bring to the starting line. Success is its own filter, if you put a largely arbitrary filter in front you end up with a corresponding decrease in success. Which create a situation similar to the social rules in Asian countries.

If there will be any regret in Silicon Valley in 50 years I don't think it is going to be whatever the current political issue is, but that it didn't acquire a larger share of the global tech market. And that is certainly a factor of competition, equality, diversity and other things that give more people the chance to do just that.
> Being erroneously deregistered does not mean you can't vote.

It does mean you won't get a voter guide, sample ballot, and information on your voting location sent to you; for elections that don't get a lot of media attention (off-year local primaries, for instance) you may not even be aware there is an election, much less who the candidates/ballot issues are.

If you don't think all that affects your practical ability to vote (and to cast an informed vote), ask yourself what is the purpose for which that information is sent to registered voters?

If HN was the equivalent of Facebook, or Google, or the phone company, I would agree with you. But it's nothing close to a de facto communication channel for personal and business use; it's an industry forum.

Your expectation of Facebook is very unrealistic, at least for now, because who is to say what is and isn't objectionable? Although I can't really make much more of a comment than that since I just don't see that many toxic posts from friends on Facebook. If my friends were really that toxic, I'd probably not be friends with them or at least just block them.

Facebook already supports a chronological feed. It just has to be turned on by the user, and it seems to untoggle itself after a while. But it's there, and that's what I tend to use. I otherwise just don't befriend toxic people, although I've blocked a few people who just post repetitive crap I don't agree with. Everyone has the tools to control their feed right in front of them, but they're not using them either because they don't know they're there or because they're afraid they'll miss that one meme post from their otherwise toxic friends.
Apart from the technical problems (who gets mouse or keyboard input? What prevents OS#1 from low-level formatting a drive that is mounted on OS#2? Etc): do you really want a setup where, if one OS and its applications uses a quarter of your RAM and CPUs, the other OS still is limited to half of both, with a quarter of it lying idle?

You need some kind of hypervisor to solve the hardware sharing problems. Why not use it for memory and CPU, too?
As a secondary language, I find the repl and debugging pieces far lacking for Node.js. To be fair, I just use Node.js for developing SPA using frameworks like VueJS and React.

Ndb looks like a step in a good direction. However, I don’t understand if you’re really expected to have a Chrome browser open when you’re already in the context of editing code.

That might sound strange, but my preferred setup is using tmux and splitting vim on the left and a couple terminal panes on the right (at about 80 chars). Is terminal debugging possible with ndb? Am I thinking about this wrong?
Because those points he’s trying to make are extremist and violent it seems. “The only fix is war” seems like the typical extremist sound bite by someone with those views.

Proposing violence to fix an issue with which appears your friend is not well versed on seems just like the mass mob lynching of a “suspected” person doing X. The mob feels righteous at the time, only to learn the person killed didn’t do anything at all.
A human in a spacesuit (or indeed anywhere) generates about 100W of heat. In the vacuum of space, the only way for this energy to escape is through radiation. The amount an object radiates depends on its temperature, its surface area, and its 'emissivity', which is simply 1-reflectance. Back of the envelope, a human sized object (2 m^2) with an emissivity of 0.12 (polished aluminum), generating 100W, will stabilize at almost exactly 20C - room temperature.

So, you don't need the sun at all! Make your spacesuit small and shiny and you can enjoy balmy temperatures deep in the inky blackness of the interstellar void, for as long as your food and oxygen lasts (food and oxygen ultimately being the fuel for your 100W).

I'm not a native English speaker. I forgot that "irrelevant" has a second snarky meaning until I read your comment.

I meant it literally. Ndb solves a problem that an integrated debugger doesn't need to solve because it already knows which files may be relevant, because the developer has them open. This holds for any integrated debugger and is not specific to either VS Code or Ndb. It's a fundamental integrated vs separate thing. I pointed it out because in my opinion, integrated is better exactly for these kinds of reasons (but you're free to disagree, to each their own).

All that said, I think you're quick to take offense, especially given that these are two projects by enormous tech giants. It is good that there's competition here. There's no poor nighttime voluntary open source dev that needs defending here.
I don't think you have the right point, even with an infinite write-only output tape, you'd still need infinite states to output pi. How can your machine know how far along it is otherwise?

Agreed. I've been scratching my head over whether the rough debugging has been a lack of tools available, or me not knowing where to look. (From other comments, it looks like there are a few promising tools out there)
I always imagined that those robots would be ideal for spying on people.

At least it would make targeted spying better, and might reduce the need for the NSA to capture internet traffic.
This is a blast from the past. Basket notes was my goto note-taking solution for multiple years during college.
I agree completely, but I am very pessimistic when it comes to decentralised publishing platforms. The architectural hurdles are not insurmountable but I think the legal ones are.

Individuals or small organisations simply can't afford to take on the potential liability that comes with letting arbitrary people upload arbitrary stuff to their servers.

If some hosts carry the controversial stuff and others don't, then those who do will be targeted, censored, persecuted and/or sued out of existence, and they don't have money to defend themselves because all the money making stuff is hosted by others.

> if one lawyer was arguing for the truth like a scientist and the other was being underhanded the underhanded one would have an advantage.

It's not about truth, trying to shill clearly flawed reasoning like this shows they really think very little of the ability of the system, you don't need facts or "truth" to see how their argument is broken by abstractly reasoning about it yourself.

Putting forward arguments where the opposition disproves them by revealing something that gives a more complete picture is one thing because the original argument without extended context was valid... but throwing complete - neatly packaged fallacies at the wall until one sticks because those evaluating it are stupid enough to miss it is really quite low.
Intriguing why someone would try to analyze a biological compound through a cultural / political / sociological lens without at least giving some reference to actual scientific research.

Yeah, I'm not a deep learning researcher, but I didn't understand the incredulity at 100 GPU's. Surely Uber has that many lying around, so why not overkill on the hardware when testing? This leaves no doubt that the feature is worthless for the given task, and does not leave open the question of whether more hardware could produce better results.

The OP seemingly forgot to mention the fact that using CoordConv with GANs results in more realistic generation of images, with smooth geometric transformations (including translation and deformations) of objects. Examples:

* https://eng.uber.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/image5.gif

* https://eng.uber.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/image11.gif

* https://eng.uber.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/image12.gif

These and other examples suggest CoordConv can significantly improve the quality of the representations learned by existing architectures.

That doesn't seem so "trivial."

The top performers in many fields are like this, having started young enough with enough neural plasticity that their knowledge is literally part of their makeup.

However, I'm barely like this at all. I might have an instinct for where bugs will be or that something just shouldn't work like that. But I rely almost entirely on nonintuitive, crystallized knowledge:

* I can definitely tell you all the vi commands I know. If I can't name a keyboard shortcut, I can't remember it at all.

* I concentrate while driving, executing conscious algorithms like 'stay in the middle of this gap', 'start coasting exactly now to save brakes', or 'move one lane left if you would have to brake'.

* When I learned a foreign language, I did it by patching together conscious learning like 'n before b is pronounced like m'. I was consequently much worse at speaking than intuitive types, which is the best way to learn, but also much better than most people from my country ever get.

* If I can't answer an interview question, it's because I can't remember the crystallized fact I wrote down in my notes, not because I know but can't describe it. I rely almost totally on notes and snippets for this reason.

In some part it's not because I couldn't get through a task intuitively but because I think there's always a best way to do something and it's usually better than just muscle memory. For example, my ice skating improves when I'm consciously thinking "pressure on the outside toe" or "tuck your pelvis under" instead of skating naturally. That's the opposite of pro skaters, but it works best for me. In programming this means I keep little reminders for myself about when to use log level WARN, which stream collector to use, ways to test recursive queries... all explicit.
You hit the nail on the head about Netflix. There is so much low quality content on it that it makes me eye everything they offer skeptically. There are so many great movies out there, why are none of them available on Netflix or Prime?
Yeah I miswrote it. I meant to phrase it differently. I love most languages on that list and didn't see my on-mobile editing had caused me to say Idris is defunct until it was too late. :(
WebStorm (and everything in the IntelliJ family) also has a really nice debugging experience. Very similar benefits to what you described: it mostly Just Works, at least for my use cases, and you just add breakpoints to where you're already coding rather than needing to do things in a separate window.

That said, with both VSCode and WebStorm, I've seen finicky issues from time to time, like source maps not working right or trouble getting it to work with non-trivial test suites. For example, my company's test suite uses a wrapper CLI that pre-loads certain files and sets environment variables in a specific way, and I need to replicate that configuration manually in order to run tests from WebStorm. I'm certainly excited to see ndb as a "baseline" great experience that everyone can use, regardless of editor.
Why have we never seen Cubans commit terrorist attacks against Americans because the US "invaded" them in the 50s?
Releasing the parser as a standalone library/utility is a cool idea. I'll check into this.

When I was young I played a game like this called Modus Operandi by Simutronics and it was some of the most fun I'd ever had. Apparently there is a resurgence[1] of this type of gaming and a community behind it. I think there is still room for MUDs in the age of hyper-realistic, COD-style games. It just requires a different set of user experiences, much like how books are still engaging in spite of TV and movies.
