I now did install it with Pip, and while the REPL now sees my correct Python version (3.7.0), it still does not know any imported packages that are installed in this system Python. Unfortunately, there also does not seem to be any setting in the editor where I can change which Python it uses, nor can I see which one has been chosen for me.
It’s not my job to judge the value of a coworker’s work.

It most certainly is, when you have to work with and clean up the mess.

Much like there is the notion of "10x" programmers, there are also "-10x" ones. Unfortunately they can stay around for a surprisingly long time.
This is completely false. The toolchain is now tcl driven, and all commands are fully documented in programming guide: https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xili...

You seem to be arguing that a) old age in the US is a horrifying nightmare of financial exploitation and b) everything about the US system is fine and dandy. Which is it? Is financial exploitation of the elderly by legal guardians a relatively rare occurrence that public bodies are doing an effective job of preventing, or are there grievous systemic failings in the US health, social care and legal systems?

When I'm running Linux/X, if the current font doesn't know a character it renders the character using another font on the system that does. So then it's just a matter of including a set of fonts that covers every character, and I think a reasonable attempt has been made to do that - although maybe that's based on the fonts I've chosen to install, since that's something that's moderately important to me.

When I'm running Windows (for work) it only renders characters for the current font, and I get box instead of a character. (Traditionally at least; maybe this has changed? - it's not important to my work so I haven't really investigated, but as a feature it's so useful it's hard to believe it hasn't happened yet.)

But as you can see this isn't a problem with Unicode but the configuration of your system. If it chooses to show you a character from another font, then that's good and convenient.

Note that Windows support for emoji is significantly better. I think Gtk+3/Gnome apps and Firefox have improved significantly this year (wow, lots of color!), but they're still lagging.
As long as the technology is open sourced and given to our enemies for free I think it's a decent argument.

I mean anyone who doesn't support giving this away for free presumably wants our enemies to kill more Americans than otherwise necessary, unless of course they're lying about their reasons for supporting this in the first place.
That is the thesis explicitly put forth in the middle of the article.
You have a point, to an extent. Coverage and welfare state benefit programs have continued to move considerably higher however. The US is now at the OECD middle on its welfare state spending as a percentage of GDP.

Half of Americans receive coverage via the government in some form. 70 million Americans are on Medicaid & CHIP (~22% of the population). Then you have Medicare, VA, SS disability, numerous state & smaller federal programs, and then partial subsidies via the ACA.

If you make minimum wage in the US, you're going to qualify for free healthcare in nearly all states via Medicaid. Via the ACA, the cost with subsidization when you're a little bit higher economically still comes out to tens of dollars per month (which is not a terrible price given how expensive healthcare is in the US, although the coverage is still not what it should be).

The bottom 25% is mostly able to get free or cheap healthcare. The next 25% bracket gets frequently royally screwed, they're stuck in a bad spot and often bounce in and out of having coverage. The top ~50% are covered by their employers commonly.
First: the dotcom bubble burst five years after it began, and the technological advancements didn't see "mass adoption" - because they were not consumer facing. I get the feeling that you're thinking that pets.com was the dotcom bubble... the bubble was centered around telecom technology - not retail websites. The bubble is fairly disconnected from what one would describe as the success of the internet today - web 2.0, the rise of APIs.

Second: The region of experience that blockchain tech is best suited to revolutionize, finance, is also the one that is most sensitive to rapid change and most heavily regulated. The US government is still grappling with the idea, hell - the NIST draft that was supposed to provide some clarity of what cryptocurrencies actually are got totally nuked by every interested party. I'm still waiting for the IRS to issue a clarifying statement on the tax handling of a hardfork so that I can amend last year's filing. It has led to a very strange situation where a hands-off approach has allowed for development, but also prevented integration.
I see, but I think for areas like Reinforcement Learning or sequence models though eGPUs would be significantly slower since you have to constantly shuttle new data into the GPU from your computer.
I don't want to paint the decision to work on military and weapons projects as black and white. The ethics are difficult. This is however one of the oldest and at this point least interesting arguments in favor of doing so. It is the height of human hubris to engage in this kind of speculation. Anyone with a mediocre grasp of both science and history can tell you it is almost impossible to understand how the course of any invention, project, company or even government will shape the future, for better or worse.

EDIT: To put this more succinctly. Reason has serious limits when applied to macro human behavior. I feel this author's attempt to apply reason to macro human behavior has exceeded those limits grossly.
Anyone got a transcript of the whole piece? I am in the mood to read a poorly argued position on a topic I have strong feelings about and this person's viewpoint will fit the bill nicely.

EDIT: Thank you both
Web != packet switched network. But, if you want to go that far, the first cryptographic hash functions were being designed in the late 1970s, so cryptocurrency has a decade or so to go before it'll be "late" by that standard, and it's progress so far has been lackluster compared to the internet's as of 40 years after it's "packet switching network ancestry".
You can use it batch or in GUI mode. The vivado gui is very good for design visualisation and interactive feedback, but as it's tcl driven you can run headless for regular builds/ regressions. Personally I use the GUI more often than not.
> We can solve the scalability problems of blockchain. The thing that keeps me up at night is not scalability, it is user adoption beyond the use cases which Bitcoin already successfully fulfills.

Fair point. But none of the biggest chains right now are nearly as scalable as using something like AWS or Azure or Google Cloud. Unless they are able to handle the same amount of traffic, there is no reason for someone to use them for typical applications.

On the development side it will be more cumbersome to develop for, and on the user side it will be slower and/or more costly to use.
You can get past the paywall:

Got to see one in person at an airshow with my dad back in the late 90s. It was in an random hanger we were checking out. The main door was opened maybe five feet with a gate in front of it and guards were supervising people looking in. We had no idea what to expect. I will never forget looking around the door and there it was, gave me chills. It was the coolest thing I have ever, or will ever see.

As is hackernews tradition, I will now recommend "Skunk Works" by Ben Rich, fantastic book.
Yes, I disagree that it doesn't make sense. You're not supposed to see a ZWJ, so the correct render of it is not visible. So even if you include it in your font - well, the correct thing for your font engine to do is to apply the semantics of it correctly and change the render of the surrounding characters.
A commenter mentioned brokers. I've had companies that do this approach me asking if I would be interested in acquiring like-businesses in my space. They'll cold-contact you with scant details about the business and ask that you sign an NDA to receive more details (especially given what they will tell you before signing). Sure, you can understand why. To know that a competitor seeks acquisition is a useful bit of knowledge to have. Signing an NDA is a huge turn off, though. I don't know of any better way but that has been my experience on the buyer's end. I might be an outsider in my reluctance to sign things like that but it's something to keep in mind when considering that option.

Just a personal suggestion, don't use a company like Flippa. You risk completely destroying the value of your property.

Best of luck.
while Facebook is probably at least 100 million lines of code at this point

...which, if I were to guess, consists of a significant amount of "do nothing" or otherwise useless abstractions that either were put there dogmatically or once served a purpose but no longer does. This is reasonably prevalent in Enterprise software but I imagine the much higher churn in Facebook code also increases the amount of cruft that gets thrown in or otherwise left behind.

Search HN or the Internet in general for mentions of Facebook's app being bloated and you'll find that even non-technical users are at least somewhat surprised by this gross inefficiency.

There is decision friction either way. Either you are free to engage without permission as dictated by the rules of engagement on the ground (people are shooting at you) or there is a matrix of agreement that must be met in accordance with law.

The only real economic result attributed to precision is the degree of collateral damage. Is the life of a third world civilian worth the extra expense of more precise technology. As a war fighter I absolutely believe so. Civilian life is simply more valuable than the lives of the belligerents.
This logic comes up all the time on HN. I always wonder whether the people repeating it really believe that commercial software development is so intellectually challenging that it is only practiced by people at the very top end of the cognitive spectrum.
Soda blasting? That's a ubiquitous process being performed literally all the time.

Yeah, blasting, grinding, cutting, forging, and dozens of other industrial processes are nasty and messy, but that isn't the hassle. The problem here is secrecy and finding shops with a large enough blasting bay (there are thousands of auto body shops with bays for blasting full size trucks and other large vehicles - literally 15 on Google Maps within half an hour of me) and having laborers with top-secret clearance to do the work. All so 1970s tech can stay a secret.
With bitcoin, what would stop governments from passing laws making certain addresses tainted resulting in people that send coins to or receive coins from them to be audited and having to explain why and how they linked to certain causes.

What makes you think if bitcoins (or any *coin) becomes the main currency in a country or region, we would not have laws were all addresses would need to be linked to people (or companies) and the ledger would not be used for figuring out and persecuting people supporting certain causes?

I sold a business through FE International (mentioned in some comments here). If you’re going to sell through a broker, I can’t say enough good thing s about them. Very professional and great to work with.

The only downside with going the broker route in general is looking like someone who isn’t wanted. Some will perceive you as having a lack of bizdev/PR skills, being in an unsexy/dying space, etc. You won’t get the big revenue multiple price that you would if tech companies were fighting for you.

Also start getting your financial and technical affairs in order yesterday. There will be a ton of due diligence whatever route you go and the better prepared you are, the smoother it will go. Retain an attorney as well.

Good luck. Happy to answer questions privately via email.
There was an apocryphal meme reddit where a carrier apparently sent a text asking how the user would rate the reliability of the network on a scale from 1 to 10. The user replied, "9." The user was notified that there was an error and the text didn't get delivered properly, to which the user replied, "8."

Signaling of the kind the author describes is information. If it truly is as widespread as the author suggests it is valuable-- just take note of the few people not signaling in this manner and then try to forge relationships with them.
Knowledge of APIs is not a good indicator of ability in my experience (I have many years of hiring people). So, the 'ecosystem' isn't particularly interesting and neither are the devs that just put endless lists of acronyms on their CVs. It's much more useful to listen to a dev tell you how they solved various problems, dig into their CS knowledge, see what they like working on in their spare time (code or not code related).

The William is actually quite problematic from the UX point of view, most notably:

- There's a disconnect in space between the space being heated, the diagram of the heating patterns, and the heat control diagram. So you have three points of attention instead of, ideally, one, and traditionally, two.

- The whole interface has no undo. If I remove a heating space, reset clock, recalibrate weight, there is no going back.

- Removal of cookware deletes all associated data and programming.

- Touch interfaces while cooking are horrible and I hope they will never win.

Though, of course, the concept is from 2010 and the idea to add programmable heat curves (or, ideally, IFTTT of cooking) is a nice one.

You may be able to have an interesting conversation from there, but it's more likely the answer is nothing more than a highbrow version of "because money is flowing through the rivers and we aim to grab some of it." Red flag #3.

I don't really like that we're trying to draw comparisons based on a toy app. The things which really tell you how good or bad something is comes when you start reaching the edge cases, which in complex applications is practically guaranteed. This makes the simple app for comparison a trap, a poor heuristic. The problem is, hobbyists don't have the time to try something deeper, time is simply too valuable to explicity replicate work. An organisation would have to commit to this.
Vue doesn't really introduce anything we haven't seen before indeed.

Fortunately it doesn't regress from what we have learned before either.

The most important factor in favor of Vue however, is that it 'just works'. When working in the reaction ecosystem I feel like I'm constantly trying to couple together chains that call functions on functions on objects.

Then there's the components that have bugs that make them fail in the most basic of situations.

And lastly I have to write 3 times as much code to get all of it even running.

Give me Vue and it's magic any time of the day.
If you do it the way members of spanish speaking cultures typically do it (and Angel named her daughter Angel, too :)), then it'd be Angel Dunkirk Smith.

9.3(d) was a real pain until I thought about how I'd write a function with type `(Either a b, Either a c) -> Either a (b, c)`. Before that, I kept wanting a negation operator.

Only if we are talking about the custody of a purely digital asset, or purely digital information (as in not linked to anything in the real/physical world).

> For example, imagine how blockchain could solve the problem of a patient who has control of their health records....

If you have control over your own "blockchain" medical records, what is stopping you from omitting the last few records too? How is this going to stop your data from being leaked by someone who hacks your current doctor? How will all doctors be forced to use it (if it is not put into law by a government body) and this case, why would this be chosen vs a centralised system? Who will be "mining" and why?

What happens if you are taken to an ER, and you are not conscious? How will the ER get your records if they are somehow sealed? All it takes would be some dying because of lack of access to the records for the system to be scrapped. As people would be more interested in saving lives vs worrying about governments and corporations snooping on them.
