It’d be really hard to get that close to a trout and I’m calling bullshit on this.

I think the goal is adding a sense of lightheartedness and by humanizing code in general, which has historically had the perception of being dry.
Why would it? "Everything else" may behave the way it does because it's embedded within reality. But reality in itself isn't "in" anything, so it may or may not have the same properties as ordinary objects. So it may or may not be legitimate to carry out that final inductive step. Who knows. Who cares.
Panhandle Lake is NOT the most remote place in the Boundary Waters. Not by any stretch. A clay foot algorithm.

I’ve had 100 square miles alone to myself in the BWCA for days/weeks and know the park well.

Since the BWCA is adjacent to the Quetico (on the Canadian side of the border), the concept of remote skews much further north. Time of year is also “remote” ... late October/early November is beautiful, if you don’t get “iced-in” for winter and can neither canoe nor walk out.

A relatively remote lake is Lake Kiana, where I’ve been between two simultaneous wolf packs (100 yds and 150 yards away in opposite directions). BWCA is where Yellowstone re-populated its wolves from. That close to 20-25 wolves chasing deer in the deep of night ... you listen for the “yip, yip, yip” of the pups trying to learn and keep up.

I don't understand this. But, if you really don't want to see a therapist you can try self-guided cognitive behavioural therapy from a book like "Mind over Mood" (this book is used in some English NHS settings).

10 Best Node.js Frameworks for Creating Next-Level Web Applications
The one reason I'm still using Atom is because of the remote editing experience with Nuclide + Watchman server-side. No other editor that I've tried comes even close (the connection drops, files get out of sync, new files don't show up, etc, etc)

Given the huge number of people who work on remote servers, I find it surprising that proper solutions are still so hard to find. A "file system provider API" for VSCode is in the works so I'm hopeful for the future.
From the paper,

> The only difference between Theorem 1 and its quantum equivalent in [13] is that the quantum algorithm has no ε approximation factors (so ε=0 and 1/ε does not appear in the runtime). Thus, we can say that our algorithm performs just as well, up to polynomial slowdown and ε approximation factors.

With ε being the accepted margin of error, theorem 1 being the algorithm produced by Tang, and [13] being a reference to Kerenidis and Prakash's quantum algorithm kept here in the quote for fidelity of quoting.

This means that this algorithm is not really a substitue for the quantum algorithm because it will require a level of error to be accepted (something which might work in recommendation engines, but not necessarily outside that context) and it still has polynomial slowdown over the quantum algorithm. One thing to note is that not all quantum algorithms will perform exponenttially better than their classical counterparts. Particularily, some quantum search algorithms perform only quadratically better than the classical search algorithms. This means that even if an exponential speedup was not achieved by quantum computers, (which it still is because of the ε factor meaning they don't give the same results) it is expected that they still achieve polynomial speedup as they do in this case.

In conclusion, stating that this algorithm threatens the prospects of quantum computation is probably an exageration.
That does look nice, but... hmm... Electron? I don't usually have a problem with Electron, but I kinda think terminals in particular should be as light as possible. No harm in testing it, I suppose.

Netherlands reporting in: the cake is not a lie.

Wedding cakes here are always made on the day of the party. A stale, frozen cake (like in the story) would definitely raise eyebrows.

We picked our cake based on flavour after a tasting session at the baker and it was then created and finished to our "specifications", so it looked and tasted great. We ate it all!

Swell history lesson, but I don't care about academics and nor do the vast majority of internet users. They can use the internet too, of course, but there's no point moaning about web pages getting larger. I was using the internet in the 90's and it sucked - literally everything about the internet is better today. My life would be no different whether a web page was 5 megs or 5k just like it makes no difference if moby dick was 100k or 100 megs. It's still getting downloaded on my phone, getting copied onto my Kindle etc.

I'm going to have to disagree on the hostility to AMP.

Specifically with this paragraph:

> It seems ridiculous to argue that AMP pages aren’t actually faster than their plain HTML counterparts because it’s so easy to see these pages are actually very fast. And there’s a good reason for that. It isn’t that there’s some sort of special sauce that is being done with the AMP format, or some brilliant piece of programmatic rearchitecting. No, it’s just because AMP restricts the kinds of elements that can be used on a page and severely limits the scripts that can be used. That means that webpages can’t be littered with arbitrary and numerous tracking and advertiser scripts, and that, of course, leads to a dramatically faster page.

> ...[supporting evidence]

> So: if you have a reasonably fast host and don’t litter your page with scripts, you, too, can have AMP-like results without creating a copy of your site dependent on Google and their slow crawl to gain control over the infrastructure of the web. But you can’t get into Google’s special promoted slots for AMP websites for reasons that are almost certainly driven by self-interest.

The point of AMP is exactly this restricted spec - it's so Google can statically verify that your site follows their performance guidelines. You can write a really fast website if you want, but unless you're willing to let Google make sure that you're actually doing so they're not going to take it on faith.

I doubt they are able to use that money without it showing up as a loan (oversimplification).

While they get $25 in cash, they also get $25 in obligation/debt to you (eg: they owe you $25 in products). If you don’t use it, after a jurisdiction dependent time, it goes to the jurisdictions treasury (at least in some areas). Or in other words they can’t count that $25 as money they have until you the use credit.

It’s probably more complicated than this as I’m not an accountant.
AI-The Accepted Path to Drive Innovation and Growth in Banks
I created a HTML parsing library in JAVA to extract data from complex websites
Hi I'm the guy who built and maintains univocity-parsers (https://github.com/uniVocity/univocity-parsers) and I recently released my new parser for HTML.

I've been developing this internally over the years to build scrapers for my clients who need extract data from complex pages and finally packaged it into a product that others can use.

I know devs are not very keen in using closed-source code but this is a godsend if you work with website scraping as it's very fast and fast to code with. You basically don't need to write a lot of code: it's usually one line of very readable code for each data point to collect. It beats any other parser hands down in performance and ease of use.

If you don't feel like clicking around:

– it was built to process intricate pages with 100's of megabytes in size and generate result rows that can be directly dumped into a database. No need to traverse through nodes with code or to define complex XPATH or CSS selectors. You can also annotate a few classes to get objects and do whatever you want with them.

– you just define matching rules that crawl the page and they will be grouped into threads that will collect the data for you

– to define a matching rule you look at the element you want instead of figuring out a path that navigates to it. You only need to try to create a rule that uniquely identifies the data to match in the page based on what is around the element. For example: "match(td).precededBy(td).withText('any*name')". This will match any table cell of a page, where a cell on the left has text 'any previous name' or 'any nickname'. It can be buried into a dozens of other tables and elements, but you don't have to care about the page structure. Compare that to xpath or a css selector.

– it follows links and let you aggregate data from the linked page into your records

– it's easy to detect changes and missed elements when you want to ensure ALL available data points in a page are being matched and collected

There's also a self-contained example using it to read a website: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50914516/scrape-informat...

I'd like to invite you people to test and provide any feedback you might have.

Investors love them, consumers pay for them and regulators should prevent their abuse. Sounds like oligopolies alright.
The charge is to the merchant, not to the customer. In general, the price marked on the good factors in the credit card fees, because almost everyone uses credit cards. So, if a buyer uses cash or a debit card, he should always negotiate for a 1-2% discount.

Edit: To clarify, some U.S. merchants do charge a "credit card fee" or enforce a minimum charge amount to all customers using credit cards for their purchases. I have never seen one charge a surcharge only to Visa users or only to Amex users.
I was slightly worried about that as well but after reading through the article it doesn't seem to be about blockchains or cryptocurrencies, although we'll have to wait until the next posts to really figure out what it's actually about.

The main problem is and remains: money.

Professional newswebsites or alike don't work for free.

But the majority of people is not willing to pay.

So ads and tracking and more ads and more ads. As this is the default buisness for "free" services. You pay with your data and attention, nothing new.

I would like this to change to the way Wikipedia works for example. No ads. Voluntarily payment. No paywall, free for everyone, even though only some people pay.

But micropayment services are not good enough, nor widespread and the average mindset is not there either.

But it could go there slowly, once people realize the true cost of all those "free" sercices and that paywalls are not nice either.

And besides, even though I agree to the sentiment of the aeticle, the comparison of plain text to an styled article with pictures ... is not really valid. I like sometimes reading plain text, but I enjoy a well done website more. With nice fonts, styles and pictures fitting to the flow of information and not as a distraction. I just don't like advertisement in general, nor ads using my cpu to analyse me.

The penetration of credit cards into everyone's daily life is already too deep. Let's face it, at this point they already got everybody well locked up. Any attempts to resist from just a few companies here and there are really just futile.
From what I’ve read, VISA prohibits merchants from asking for an ID from customers. However, will you argue with a cashier over it?
People didn't say that about Nazi Germany or slavery -- and they won over them in the end. And we'll say it for credit cards?
Webfonts need to die. I'm sick of loading a page, seeing the text for a moment, then it vanishes and I'm forced to wait, possibly for multiple seconds to see the text again in some pretty font the authors thought I cared about.
> On the other hand, bloated slow websites only serve the needs of their authors, while annoying all their users. Users aren't asking for more tracking, ads, or any of that other bullshit.

The bloat actually serves a lot of people, directly or indirectly. It is like packaging, everyone complains about packaging and plastic but when you are in the supermarket do you take that box that is already opened or that tin with the dent?

There are lots of stakeholders behind the bloat. Including the bullshit jobs people of the online world, e.g. the SEO people, the people in marketing and the programmers. In my opinion the cookie-cutter way of churning out websites is being done by a lot of people that are barking up the wrong tree on how to do it with knowledge of modern web technologies rarely gained. Buried in what you see is a bundle of reset scripts, IE6 polyfills and other stuff that nobody dares to touch as it has been there since 2009 and nobody knows what it does, within the company that wrote the CMS or in the agency that adds the 'theme'. It is worrying really with the best people can do is to add layers of ever more complex 'build' tools to mash this cruft into something they don't have to think about.

P.S. There is no way I would be in an econobox if travelling through the American West, give me one of your trucks, SUVs or even a sedan any day. In Europe though, tables are turned, a country lane or a city stranded in a U.S. vehicle would be a special kind of hell.

Ok, that's nice to know. I know my initial comment probably came off as the stereotypical Hacker News sneer, but in my defense the picture, at least to me (having not used Atom for more than four years due to its poor performance when I tried it in the beta) makes it look like Atom was having issues maintaining a decent frame rate for the editing task shown, and is now able to provide this.

Or, to put it another way: your depiction in the article really makes it easy for those who have reservations about using Atom to come to the wrong conclusion, and it's not one that paints it in a good light. Might I suggest replacing it with a GIF that showcases the actual issue that this release was supposed to fix?

What would not being caught with a backup plan look like to you?

Would getting stuck in an embassy qualify?
A grazing beef cow will drink about 7-10 gallons during the day. If it is hot, they will drink 25. Wheat yields around 1LB for 130 -150 gallons over the growing season. An avocado (1lb) requires about 90 Gallons over the growing season.

There are a lot of things to factor into this, crop yields aren't static and there are a lot of other things that can change the yields. Cows have legs, so you don't have to 'irrigate' them, they just have to be pastured within a couple thousand feet of water, and you can set up temporary solar pump + water trough if you have water within a couple miles.

Beef Cattle will give you 5-600 lbs of meat at about 1200 Calories per pound, with an average grazing time of 12 months. works out to 150cal/gallon.

Avocado has about 700+ cal per pound so about 8cal/gallon. (I'm not as sure on this, it could be lower as a 'medium' avocado is about 1/3 of a pound, but I've never grown avocados so I don't know the exact here.)

Calories in a whole grain wheat is about 1500/lb, so 1500/150 is about 10cal/gallon.

So it's kinda relative, but the only way you're going to harvest edible nutrients from scrub land is buy herding or hunting grazing animals that process the stuff with 4 stomachs.

There's a larger question of the value that grazing provides and if we need that as a food source. Before modern farming and shipping, if you lived in a semi-arid scrubland style climate, you were very much dependent on some type of animal to turn that stuff into a digestible food source for you.

Some people do, but most don't because they don't really care about science or spreading information, but just getting an easier way to progress in their career. And the system is gatekeeped mostly by such people, so in a lot of fields one is at considerable disadvantage if they care about things other than selfish career development.

What baffles me is why these people choose academia. It's a really uncertain and laborious way to even sustain oneself, let alone succeed.

If the credit companies have their way, no, they ban different cash/card prices in their take it or leave it terms.

Some regulators have disagreed, but in most places the card lobby won out because cards impose tax transparency, so the higher prices shifted to consumers also translate to higher tax receipts for the government.

And even in modern CAD systems the GUI makes no sense anymore.

Most better ones separated the kernel from the GUI already, where the GUI only serves for random input and as viewer, but the kernel allows scripting to automate tasks. The GUI's became so complicated, it's easier to design by rules and scripts and avoid osnap'ing to random objects lying in the view.
Discoverability. CLIs are notoriously bad at discoverability. GUIs, on the other hand, are much better about showing a user what options / commands are available.

If you look around, GUIs and CLIs are both around because they are each good at specific kinds of tasks. We use CLIs to remote into servers because it doesn't require much bandwidth and it works with high latency, etc.

The right tool for the right job. I don't understand this mentality that people have that one tool is superior to another in all cases (e.g., linux is always better than Windows, open source is always better than proprietary, etc).
