I'd imagine doing this on a daily basis would require some discipline.

I also had similar thoughts in college. I planned to scan my notes from time to time and thereby have them digitized. I never went through with it. The system that worked for me was to write a date on each paper, keep all notes in a stack, and organize them into topics in chronological order when needed.

I always struggle with physical organization, whether it be tidying up my room, or planning my days. I hope this will improve with age, but for now I try to work around my deficiencies. For example in college I never had the discipline to study everyday, although I almost never skipped a class and I always took notes. It wasn't that I wasn't interested in the things thought, but I just couldn't. I also cannot tidy up my room, although I know it would benefit me hugely. I always postpone getting a haircut, washing clothes etc. to the moment when it becomes absolutely unbearable.

So I don't think I'd have nearly enough willpower to take all my notes physically and then daily type them into the computer. In business life what I can do is to create a virtual filing system for organizing notes. For example I could divide the year in 52 weeks, open a folder for each of them, inside these folders I could open other folders for projects. I could then symlink those weekly folders into other directory listings for Clients and Projects etc. By doing this minimal work, I'd have a working system that would keep me out of my naturally inclined chaos. During internships I devised a similar system for email, and it had worked remarkably good.
I am sorry dozzie, did not want to be aggressive or dry, just I don't get what you mean. PJON works pretty much everywhere. The use you can do of PJON depends on your needs and the architecture that will execute it. In some cases PJON can be useful to "wire a bucket of Arduinos pin-to-pin to each other" but can also be used to create a virtual network computers running winx86, macosx or linux operating over the internet infrastructure. I think you would need some time to go through the available documentation and spec to have a clearer view of its features and limits.

Webinar: AB Tasty with Mention Reveals Eight Actionable Hacks for Marketing
I'm aware of stats, but maybe 12K is barely enough to dispose of for goals - such as going out, or buying presents to others, etc. (Saving rate is around 5%, which is less than 1K/year, that's nowhere near enough for anything. Though allegedly it's not calculated "properly".)
They're both just Jupyter with cloud backends. They all do basically the same thing with the exception of potential integrations with Google/MSFT specific things.

E.g Google lets you load data from drive.

So when making the comparison I'd just examine my resource needs / how easy I find each to use and/or resource pricing, then pick one that works. If neither suit my needs I'd just use Jupyter on my own machine(s). If you're on Azure the msft one might have handy integrations that minimize how much you need to think about ops. Similarly with colab / GCP.
Might be free but the ads are too aggressive and the design is very lacking and counterintuitive.

TNG was over the air.

We're in a strange phase right now where these individual companies are creating content and you have to subscribe to each one. It's somewhere between cable where you pay one company for access to a whole lot, and paying for individual productions. Everyone thinks they can be the go-to place if they just produce some good stuff that you can get only from them. For me it's just too much bother, and if it say "CBS" I'm kinda wondering why it's not OTA in the first place.

I'll pick it up when if/when it's on blueray or <gasp> DVD.
The US never quite supported Ukraine the way they support Taiwan, they will be forced to have an response.

US will surely impose tough sanctions on China, which would be much more disastrous to them than the sanctions US imposed on Russia after Crimea.

EU will likely join in.

What will China actually gain from this? Not much besides scoring some political gains at home which they don't need anyway.
I'm a homebrew (beer) nerd. The global community is very warm and welcoming for people at all levels. Everyone is interested in building each other up, and it promotes experimentation and precision. As far as niche communities go, there's a very strong but surprisingly small underground of sour beer enthusiasts. http://www.milkthefunk.com/ is an online forum and massive wiki dedicated to discovering and sharing new methods into souring beer. Some of the most well known sour beer brewers contribute and use it as a resource.
Taiwan would be stupid to agree to this.
Leela and AlphaZero are already comfortable beyond master level and into the 3200s in ELO terms, at least. As for the best engines today (who I've no doubt we'll see win out at TCEC - Wasp has already been holding its own in division 4) I think they're super optimized on one axis - search, but not optimized very much (in the grand scheme of things) on the other - evaluation.

AlphaZero and LCZero show have orders of magnitude better evaluation is available and can go toe to toe with existing engines despite radically fewer nodes searched. I wouldn't be surprised however, after this current generation of NNs get good, if the traiditional Alpha-Beta engines can't encode _some_ of the more subtle positional knowledge they've picked up, in a way that works quickly with their current architectures.
Take off a fuzzy hat crackling with static in the dead of winter -- not a single hair out of place!

Roll out of bed, realize you didn't set your alarm and have to be out of the house in 2 minutes -- that's ok, just get up and go, the hair-mussing properties of sleep have no power over you!

The nasty mix of rust and oil that you get from working on the underside of a car can't get stuck in hair you don't have!

I would still choose hair over no hair, but that's only because its single redeeming quality is a big one: being attractive. On most other metrics, being bald is actually pretty great.
Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is of strategic importance to the US and Europe. For that reason alone I think Taiwan will always enjoy better protection than a relatively unimportant participant in the world economy like Crimea.
Yeah that was a mistake on my part, but you can easily find it on my resume anyway.
The Utter Failure of Fictional Time Travel
Hi - was in same rut few years back where I had taken up a non-dev role and suffered for a while to land the right dev role. To get back on track for interview and eventual hire as a dev I did a) Develop good skills in static typed programming lang (scala) b) Latest dev test deploy tool chain e.g mvn, sbt, intellij, ci/cd , and Docker c) The what part of data structures in standard libs d) developer level best practices in security , auth and authz method e.g oauth c) AWS d) improve interview programming skills i.e demonstrate interactively to solve small problems in scala or whatever e) learn the vocab used today .. not 4 years ago.

Note - All of above is what applied to my situtation. And I apologize for not posting links for references. Thought I must share my experience.
> How is this any different from a person directly donating $X dollars

You have to disclose the recipient of the donation to IRS. That's the difference. These "Donor Advised Funds" apparently don't have to report disbursements.
>You don't see the problem here? How do we, as taxpayers, know the money is even being spent for real charitable purposes?

While you are unable to audit any given donor, you are able to audit most DAF program providers by reading their 990 tax form. Here is an example for Charles Schwab, mentioned in the article. https://www.guidestar.org/profile/31-1640316

Even if the 990 is not publicly published, it is required by the IRS and can be audited.

>See for example this story: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/14/new-york-attorne....

This is less likely to happen with a DAF program because they are managed by 3rd parties with reputations to protect. A properly ran DAF program will research and vet all grantee organizations prior to making a gift, and can (and will) reject donor grant requests if they are found to violate the law/DAF mission.
€80/yr is about the same price as a magazine subscription. It's a fair price for good content. Free content is an inherent compromise - the creators are always splitting their attention between creating content and raising revenue.

Patreon has had a hugely positive impact on a lot of content creators. They're not worrying about the latest algorithm changes on YouTube or AdSense, they're not chasing down sponsorship or shady native advertising, they're just doing what they do best.
Would love to see an open source alternative (or at least a rich API) so that we can build different front ends for different needs.
I doubt it. Russia really needs Crimea, a matter of NATSEC as they have no warm water ports https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2014/03/russias... . Russia was already in the doghouse so it's like killing one more person after you've killed 5 others. China on the other hand, knows that Taiwan isn't going anywhere and it's not worth war, embargoes and what not. IMO they are patient...

As for Crimeans, who knows, they could all be happier under Russia for all we know.

OpenAI Five Benchmark Match Livestream
I had to put down Harari's "Sapiens" because his equivocation between different uses of the word "myth", particularly around any medium of exchange, contracts, or law, is so infuriating. A myth implies something that is false. An agreement between people is not false like a myth describing why it rains. He uses myth to describe every abstract concept shared between people.

This fallacy underlies the bulk of his arguments, and makes most of his writing worthless.
Sounds like a dream job or a nice side gig if you just want a job. Login, run script, log out, bill for thousands, then go back to doing your own thing.

Intentionally withholding stuff without offering an upfront option is shady though.
I hate to leave the typical /. comment here, but it's so appropriate on political, economic, and engineering levels:

Good luck with that.
I don't think you understand how the SP500 works.

When you invest in the SP500 and companies drop out of it, your investment in those companies ALSO drops out.

And the publicly stated "return" of the SP500 takes this into account.
You should look him up from about ten years prior to TNG. He was in several episodes of I, Claudius back in 1976, thereabouts, and aside from the hair, he STILL didn't look much different.
The tunnel is something that mostly makes sense but will be held up by political differences (compare: Japan-Korea tunnel)

I think that using force to take Taiwan would be a huge mistake for PRC. It would provide an impetus for essentially every other nation in Asia to put aside their differences and make a serious anti-PRC military alliance.

The Taiwan situation isn’t really comparable to Crimea. It was a violent separation as opposed to a symbolic gesture; when the USSR gifted Crimea from Russia to Ukraine it wasn’t a big deal because they were part of the same country anyway.
Ask HN: How did your call for help on Ask HN end?
Occasionally, someone going through a very time posts on Ask HN asking for help like the currently still active case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17684451.

Most times, there is an outpouring of help that is emotionally touching. From job offers, interest free loans, housing and you name it, pdxHomelessDev' has been offered all and their story might potentially end up very well. Now, this isn't the only case I have witnessed and was wondering whether other HNers who sought help, here, did actually get help to overcome the problems they were facing at the time.

Please tell us how your story ended?

How to Find a Therapist
The best part about Star Trek The Next Generation was the fantastic writing, the focus on science and the guidance of young viewers throughout the series. I bet there were many people inspired to go into science as a result of the show both TNG and TOS.

As much as I enjoyed the other Treks and current Trek they seem almost self-absorbed, caring more for looks and ratings (I guess they have to) than story telling caring about the viewers. DS9 was pretty good but the producers made stupid, spiteful changes near the end, same for Enterprise.

You have to wonder what has changed that doesn't allow a series like Star Trek to be itself and instead cater to people seeking only explosions, swearing and banal story lines.
Here's the thing, though. If it weren't for government regulations holding civil engineers to a higher standard, they simply wouldn't produce the same quality.

Unless there are strong business requirements demanding high quality code, no business is going to pay the costs of it.

No business will ever willingly do the right thing unless someone is holding a gun to it demanding they do so. They simply won't be able to compete against businesses that aren't.

The true craftsmen out there will consistently see themselves passed on for promotions, and receive negative performance evaluations in environments where features introduced to a codebase are treated as far more important than bugs introduced into a codebase. The folks who treat it as a job will quickly find their salaries increase as they migrate into management positions.
Yeap, https://youtu.be/oI2aMKwXXnE this guy took a more serious attempt at learning to ride the backwards and it seems it didn't take him that much time.
There's a big difference between believing in using password managers, and using your position to promote a very specific one (and one that is proprietary, lol). The former is admirable, the latter is malicious.
> Our main reason for moving away from it was the fact that it is difficult to run long jobs on Colab. It was good to start working on the project, but any real ML task took too long to finish, if at all.

I like Jupyter notebooks (whether they're running in Colab or not) for data analysis and post-hoc model analysis, but I'd never recommend using them to actually train models in the real world, unless your real-world models are extremely fast to train (like, < 5 minutes). YMMV, but I constantly have to reconnect, restart the kernel etc. -- I consider them completely unreliable in terms of retaining anything I actually care about (i.e., any interesting model or result that can't be recomputed in <5 minutes). Of course, you can save snapshots along the way and resume from them, but to me the notebook interface has never really encouraged this sort of workflow -- IMO if you can't quickly shift+enter through every cell of the notebook when you first start it up and see all the same outputs you saw the first time in a couple minutes, it's probably not the right tool. (I brush up against or cross this line constantly myself, and it's always a painful experience.)

Maybe they'll get better and work for this kind of thing in the future, but for now I wouldn't recommend them only for anything beyond analysis.
Some of these "dark" traits are not treatable. You don't treat the sociopath, you treat his/her victims. The best strategy is to avoid them, if possible. Understanding this means you can feel free of the obligation of treating them, saving yourself form a lot of suffering - they would only use these opportunities to hurt you, anyway.

What Does a Software Tech Lead Do?
One of the under-appreciated aspects of Colaboratory is that it's completely integrated into the Google Drive ecosystem, including multiple real-time users of the same notebook (sharing the same VM). This was a real game-changer for me.

The real-time use-case has a nice wow factor to it; I've used it as a way to pair program for data science problems. The input cells sync in real-time (a la Google Docs), and so too do the output cells when one person runs a cell. And it's nice to be able to leave comment threads on a cell that can be resolved as a form of peer review.

But what made Colab a game-changer for me is how it let me seamlessly put my notebooks and a VM into Google Drive, making anything I put in a notebook accessible to anyone within my organization without needing to set up an environment, be it shared or local.

My last organization was a small rare disease research foundation, and I primarily worked on the fundraising side of the house; it was not a technical organization. When thinking about the longevity of my work, I realized that even the one person managing IT for them probably couldn't set up, let alone justify maintaining a networked Jupyter environment. So rather than ask for that and store all my analyses and small utilities on GitHub, I built everything on top of Google Drive and Collab. Folks were used to using Drive for everything else, so it meant my work was adjacent and discoverable to the team it was pertinent to and they could get access to both the outcomes of prior runs or change a few variables and run it again without me being needed. I left recently and I've still heard from a few former colleagues that they're still using many of the these notebooks and discovering others I'd built on their own time.

For a small data analysis operation in a Google Apps organization, Colaboratory is a godsend.
Cost at a barber shop. If you go to one the cost for a haircut is the same for a man whether he is bald or not. And I get a #2 clipper all over too done in two minutes $25 plus tip.

Sure at home with an electric razor would be cheap but I tried and I can't get reach the back of my neck very well and it looks bad.

> We're approaching the same problems neurologists work on (how does the brain do this? why does the brain do that?), but from a different abstraction layer, using more of a social-sciences toolset.

You’re approaching the same problems that neuroscientists are tackling, but using a “social sciences” toolset? What does that even mean? That sounds like an outright rejection of the scientific method.
It's argue it's the idiotic practice of tying C-level pay to short term stock performance AND golden parachutes on top of that. You could say we're witnessing market forces at work and I won't disagree, but we're also witnessing crawling self destruction or a variant of tragedy of the commons.

"Everything is politics"
The United States will immediately initiate a hot war against China and attempt to decapitate China's government if China attempts to annex Taiwan. That is the policy, and that is what will happen.

This is why China is using espionage, soft power, and cultural imperialism to annex Taiwan.
many people have tried to build open source alternatives to mathematica for decades (sage, sympy) and it's just too developer intensive a task. there is so much work and not to mention IP in just Simplify[] that I don't know why people bother. no one that seriously uses something like mathematica (e.g research) would use any other CAS. I'm not saying I wouldn't love a free alternative but it's not practical without dozens of people across the mathematical and engineering spectrum. the challenge that comes to mind is that undertaken by the teams that contributed to numpy, scipy, and pandas in order to be a viable alternative to Matlab.
If you think about the best/worst case scenario, would you be happy if one CDN would deliver everything? I think that we would be in a worst situation... ideally, I think that everyone would have their own servers and that your ISP would not even be able to see which IP addresses you are talking too (completely decentralized)
And I expect the flip side is also true - radically better hardware and algorithms for both training and executing neural networks. Even after that, I think there’s a huge gap in the market for a system that not only sees tactics deeply and had an almost flawless positional sense, but can explain and train humans in what it sees.

The boss (non technical) privately asked me one day to do some research about automating some data entry processes, basically reading from excel files, some databases, formatting and putting it all in another database.

I found out later that if that script is made it would lay off a number of people doing data-entry. I didn't go through with it for many reasons.
