I once read about a scientist who, when others were having trouble replicating his results, with a straight face then claimed that his work was so bleeding-edge that it could only be reproduced by his own hands, in his own lab, using his own materials and equipment. Now, while there might have been an element of truth to this it sure sounded like total B.S. to me! I'm not sure than anyone had really challenged him on it, either.
It's an anecdote that describes my experience as well. In more than ten years I've only met three other people who use Emacs (and one other person who uses WindowMaker :-) ), and I've often been the only Emacs user in an entire department.
Phones are my biggest complaint - not mine as all sounds have been turned off, but everyone else’s. You get a sound when you receive a message, when you unlock it, when you type a message and when you send a message. It’s just so pointless and annoying.

If your goal was to point out how much more complex a hand is than a bicycle, I don't think that logic follows. Drawing hands are hard too!

Drawling lettuce? Lettuce doesn't have obvious structural flaws if you get the veins wrong. A green blob with a few lines will pass the test a lot easier than these bicycles.
I'd probably occasionally use it if I could say order me xyz and it'd order the exact same xyz I bought last time, warning me of any price change and asking me to confirm if it's increased. I'm guessing it's about as consistent as an Amazon search though, so I have no trust that it'll do that.

I know a lot of artists that talk about the importance of learning how to better draw longer lines in one go. Are you saying they're all wrong, and that skill isn't important?
What annoys me is that mistake theorists often insist on stepping in and trying to stop people from defending themselves against other conflict theorists. E.g. chool policies that punish all violence (including when a kid fights back against a bully).

Please don't ignore this very important quote from the article:

"In fact, many of the initial 50 papers have been confirmed by other groups, as some of the RP:CB’s critics have pointed out."

This article is staying assiduously neutral, but one perfectly valid interpretation is that the original initiative was flawed in a way that was predicted by the initiative's critics. Science is routinely reproduced -- just not by labs working in isolation, using publications as clean-room instruction books. This is the sort of thing that programmers believe about science, not something that scientists believe themselves.

There are a great many serious, legitimate scientists who believe that this "reproducibility crisis" is verging on irrational, and it's important to consider their arguments. It's particularly scary to me that so many comments here are dovetailing with the sort of nonsense you encounter on anti-vax and global warming denial forums. We're literally gaslighting the process that has done more to advance society than any other in human history:

http://www.pnas.org/content/115/20/5042

"The discovery that an experiment does not replicate is not a lack of success but an opportunity. Many of the current concerns about reproducibility overlook the dynamic, iterative nature of the process of discovery where discordant results are essential to producing more integrated accounts and (eventually) translation. A failure to reproduce is only the first step in scientific inquiry. In many ways, how science responds to these failures is what determines whether it succeeds."
This is no what a p-value means.

That was the article about the Switch bulbs if I remember correctly. I think the company went out of business. I have a couple of them and they work and look good, but are really heavy and I can't use them in certain applications that were only ever meant to hold up really light incandescents.
Just today, I finished writing my own low level go sqlite driver. I haven't published it yet. I really thought there was a need for it. I hate the database/sql integration that the other drivers have. Now I'll have to see if my driver has any need to exist.

This always seems to happen when I write something.

What I've experience whenngoing into an area I wasn't cleared for was the escort first turning on a bright flashing red light and then constantly shouting "uncleared" as I was led to the office in which I was needed.

Basically everyone had to turn off their monitors while I walked past.

Not as bad as a blindfold, but a bit embarrassing the times I've had to do it. That and being escorted to the bathroom while they wait outside.

Ask HN: How can I make the most of a hurricane?
So there's currently a non-zero chance that a hurricane will make landfall in my area this week. I feel like there ought to be some kind of scientific thing I could be doing in parallel with my doomsday preparations. I don't have a weather balloon, but I do have some gopros which are pretty tough. Should I set them up on the coastline where the hurricane is supposed to arrive? Should I go visit a university? What can a layman like me do to study a real live hurricane?

I can provide more details if necessary.
How to create sitemap for a multi language web?
Hi; I have a problem in creating sitemap for my multi language web. Google webmaster not accept the auto generated sitemap from Magento admin. I have medium size online store with 8 languages. Is there any good tool to generate xml site for each language separately?
It would require either all researchers to be 25% software engineers, or to add 30-50% headcount by adding SE's. It would be a radical change in methods and funding. There is massive institutional pushback to moving in this direction, as people already feel too much is done in/by computers. To make any research to be publishable depend on software engineering technicalities...

OTOH, it would be awesome for me, as I've been doing consulting on exactly this for 15+ years :)
I think it’s the same problem as trying to document how to install or use new software. Unless you redo the steps yourself or somebody does that for you, you won’t know which assumptions you forgot to document. Since no-one retries the study right after you finished it, there out to be gaps in the documentation.
This is so basic to the regulatory public comment process that it's hard to find a simple, clear citation, but this one might help:

Key quotes:

> The comment process is not a vote – one well supported comment is often more influential than a thousand form letters

> The comment process is not a vote. The government is attempting to formulate the best policy, so when crafting a comment it is important that you adequately explain the reasoning behind your position.

> Form Letters: Organizations often encourage their members to submit form letters designed to address issues common to their membership. Organizations including industry associations, labor unions, and conservation groups sometimes use form letters to voice their opposition or support of a proposed rulemaking. Many in the public mistakenly believe that their submitted form letter constitutes a “vote” regarding the issues concerning them. Although public support or opposition may help guide important public policies, agencies make determinations for a proposed action based on sound reasoning and scientific evidence rather than a majority of votes. A single, well-supported comment may carry more weight than a thousand form letters.

I always thought these lamps were inefficient, which is why they are being replaced with LEDs, but apparently they output up to 200 lumens per Watt which is better than most household LEDs.

While it might be phrased in a way that implies the customer is partly to blame, the actual details would indicate the main problem was with Azure Kubernetes Service. Critical system daemons going down because the application uses too much memory is not a reasonable failure mode (and the AKS team rightfully fixed it).
Some of the best sporting contests I remember have been low scoring affairs, even in games that typically score much higher than soccer.

A score in a typical rugby league match would 6-16, 24-18, 32-30, etc, but my favorite game of all time was 2-0. This was an annual State of Origin match which is already an extremely tense and hard fought grudge match, but this one was just sitting on a knife's edge from kick off to full time with both sides possibly only a small mistake away from throwing the game away.

Another stand out was the 2011 Rugby (different sport to rugby league) World Cup final where New Zealand beat France 8-7 with only a single try each. France just kept coming and just about had the ball to themselves for last twenty minutes but the NZ defense miraculously kept them out of field goal range.

Similarly with soccer, many of the best games are that one where your team miraculously keeps out a barrage of good shots on goes on to win or to eek out a draw.
No. The break is good. If I were to put one thing as the primary benefit in fetching my own cup, it would be task / context change.

Doing that takes a bit. For me, it is roughly 20 minutes. I can cut down on that with a walk, maybe brief chat, and enter new task spoolup ready.
No, the question is: who is paying for reproducible ones? What does it even mean, apart from in some abstract numerical disciplines?
If you're ten percent off with each bike line, it looks almost perfect. If you're ten percent off with each line while trying to draw a specific person, it won't even resemble them.

A caricature is one thing, and might be doable by an average person, but knowing how to do a caricature is a skill all by itself. A portrait is extremely art skill intensive.

Niemöller's quote is about indifference.
I tried that with my Echo, and it responded "Hmm...I don't know what you mean".... nothing about buying dog food.

But I think you just didn't ask the response that the developers anticipated -- I asked "Alexa, do you like dogs?" and it responded "I don't have a dog, but if I did, I would name it Astro".
Hand washing may still be a problem. I saw a blurb recently which stated that when doctors know that they're being monitored for using proper hand washing protocols, compliance was near the top end of the scale. But when they thought they were no longer being watched, compliance fell by something like two-thirds. So in other words, doctors (and no doubt others) probably still aren't anywhere close to doing it right.
I view the problem in terms of "computational complexity": if the AI of today requires O(2^n) time to perform at a human level, it is possible to get that down to O(n^2)?

I believe there's a connotation with problems, that if the best algorithm to solve it is exponential (brute-force search), then we truly don't understand the (underlying structure of the) problem.
> It is also similar to the relationship of the IETF generic URN specification ([URN]) and a specific URN namespace definition (such as the UUID URN namespace defined in [RFC4122]). The difference is that a DID method specification, in addition to defining a specific DID scheme, must also specify the methods for reading, writing, and revoking DID records on the network for which it is written.

So let's stick with UUID for now…
TJ Miller "One Crazy Night - This is not happening" is a great example of this type of structure.
I have my doubts as to whether it would be cost effective enough to filter out everything but the long chain hydrocarbon molecules (in the case of biodiesel), though ethanol based fuels might be better as they already have to be fairly well purified. Really depends on the individual chemistry I guess. Hopefully the waste isn't too contaminated.
Yeah there is no excuse for comp bio work really, but I don't think you should cast aspersions of laziness. By far the least lazy people I know are scientists. Publishing a paper is an incredible amount of work often under less than ideal conditions. The authors are usually exhausted. That isn't an excuse, but it is a factor nonetheless.

There are some incentives to make work reproducible. If you publish a method implemented in software, then making that software easy to use, well documented, with example data and respond to questions/issues etc it greatly enhances the chance other people will use it and cite it. Things have been getting much better in the last 5 years.

Preprints also help - I saw a preprint the other day where people complained on twitter there was no methods section and no code. The authors responded. They realise that potential reviewers may be the ones making these comments or at least see the comments. This talks to your point about not treating a paper as a single point in time, but an ongoing process.

I think things are improving. I am now seeing papers publish Jupyter notebooks in python or R scripts to reproduce all the diagrams and analyses, along with curated data that just plugs in. In general this actually works (although sometimes crucial bits of data are missing, and unlike an error in the paper, these are not necessarily fixed).

C shell could have been the de facto standard had the parser not been buggy as hell and had there been proper facilities for stdin and stdout like in Bourne shells.

tcsh is my default shell, but I never program in it because of “C shell considered harmful”[1]. I write my programs in original Bourne shell instead for maximum portability.

You use it wrong. You're supposed to keep your local emacs running and use tramp to login to the remote server. That way you still have your emacs config with you and don't have to load it again.

What vim users don't seem to understand is: I never restart emacs. Mine stays running for weeks, even months at a time. When I change my emacs config I just run the code. I don't restart emacs.
Yeah, it's like $500. Of course there's a markup on it. Apple doesn't make money by assembling parts at stock prices and then sending it to you.

It's the case that building a comparable computer (in terms of the specific iMac Pro hardware) is very similarly priced BUT requires labor, the purchase of an OS and additional peripherals: https://youtu.be/SONKIJd8xRM?t=187

That said, your point that Apple could've chosen better hardware at its price, is reasonable but off topic.
A simple solution for traffic lights would be to change the shape of stop lights to an octagon (matching the stop sign). This would be easy now they aren't a single bulb.
Could also change the amber light to a triangle.
It's the methodology, not the results or the code, that I'm suspicious of. For a highly variable task like STT, I'm sure an expert could contrive a test that gives far better results for either of the other programs tested.

That's why it would help to know why this test is comprehensive and representative enough to be considered unbiased or otherwise where its biases are. I don't have that expertise myself.
There is nothing wrong with implementing something someone else has already done!

Usage of a library has more to do with it’s community than it’s codebase.
Threadripper is the broadest point of topic in the thread. Down here, the question was about if Apple actually charged $20K for a particular computer. They don't and given the particular hardware choices, the iMac Pro is a great deal. The ideal choice of hardware is a separate topic.

I'm not so happy about the comment "she looks like a hooker". Nor about sub-comments purporting to know the reasons she has in mind for her dress choice, and she knows how she affects people by it. Also want to say, as preface, that of course hookers can be hackers, and one reason I'm taking the following slant on it is the surprise expressed in this comment, I take to indicate the (limited) assumption that they cannot coexist.

I think I've got two main issues with these comments.

The first is: Why do you think you can speak for her? Why do you think you get it?

The second is: Why do you think she can speak for you? Why do you assume she knows how she is affecting people by her dress?

The second is the same as the first, you can't assume her mind, she can't assume the viewer's mind.

Knowing the mind of the other / empathy is a good thing, but when you assume it to fit a particular narrative or impose a particular limiting idea, as I see the case is here, I think that's not a good thing.

Another way to say all this is, people are free to dress in whatever individuated ways they want, for whatever individuated reasons/feelings they have for that, and viewers are free to respond/feel whatever individuated responses they have for that.

The narrative where we assume the intent of the viewed and the viewer, and use that assumption we impose, to then fill in / construct a negative / discriminatory / fake narrative of the viewer or the viewed is not only flat out morally wrong, it's also logically incorrect I think.

For the record, I think the "sexualization" is imposed by the interpretation of the commenters, not by the choice of dress. Also I don't find the dress looks "like a hooker". I think it's more nuanced than that, if you pay more attention to the details, her choice of shots, her expression. I understand people might differ in their conclusion / label of the dress, but realize that, probably, if you reach a superficial conclusion such as this, you are likely only limiting yourself and possibly limiting the discourse / way you can think about someone else. It doesn't matter what the effect intended by her is, it matters what your response is. That's one way I think about this.

I think people need to upgrade / nuance-out their discourse about these sorts of topics.
In 1999 I had bags in the hold but had to respond to a page, by the time I had resolved the incident I had missed the flight. I was super-stressed but the check-in girl just laughed and said, get the next one, it’s fine. And it was. Can you imagine that now?

Stupid poll. Due to the limited options, people who use neither editor seriously have voted vim simply because they know about it. Also it can't be denied that vim is the hipster editor, used by the same kind of people that use reddit. People that use emacs, like me, do not vote in polls on reddit.
