I just disable javascript to read full articles from news places like this that force subscriptions.

or maybe I just dont understand why people would subscribe digitally? Are there different articles?

I think people have moved away from what the internet is supposed to be, which is a way to share information, not force people to pay for information :/
It's not hypocritical to do different things in different situations. You keep stating this, but you still can't show me what they got wrong in this case.
Indeed, Haber process is the second most important invention after mankind's mastery of fire, possibly third after mastery of metalworking.

Life without it might've been possible, but we would be incomparably more reliant on cereals and natural sources of nitrogen fertilisers. And be sure, we would've still be having wars over fertile lands.
Raw speed. Although julia has several nice features (multiple dynamic dispatch, macros), the raw speed obtained by annotating code with types is mind blowing. You can for the most part write like python, then annotate the slowest parts with types. It works really well.

Incremental Refactoring Strategies #2: Baby Steps
"It gives me goosebumps to think of Jason Collins' decision and the way it has been received so positively," Justin's niece, Amal Fashanu, told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday. Amal, who was only 8 years old when her uncle died, made an award-winning documentary about him for the BBC last year.

"Justin didn't have any of that," she continued. "None of the warmth, none of the recognition that what he did took so much courage. Instead, he was picked on because of it, made to feel inferior, different, wrong. He was a lost soul, but even then his precedent secretly gave a lot of people hope. I get messages about what an inspiration he was from all around the world, all the time."

[...]

Soccer players learn to develop the ability to block out the taunts of the fans, even the most sickening and bigoted vitriol. But what stung Fashanu the most were the comments of his brother John, himself a leading pro who would twice play for the England national team. John Fashanu described Justin as an "outcast" after his revelations about his sexuality, bemoaning the fact that he (John) would be the focus of extra attention from jeering fans as a result of Justin coming out.

If you're talking about nil, then yes, I would really like Go to never have it.

But the other validations are more about contracts. Preconditions, to be precise. Yes, I know that a sufficiently advanced type system (dependent types?) could encode those in the function signature, but I am not entirely sure if the technology is already there.
The trouble with this sort of thing is that it's all "friendly" up until, and sometimes past, the rape attempts.
There's an enormous gap between calling someone a sex worker and calling them a coal miner. There's an even-more-enormous gap between calling most of your team "bros" and calling the one woman on your team a sex worker. That is not in-group bonding, that's targeted, gender-based harassment.

That's good to hear honestly.

In most of America things are nothing like that.

Can't speak to America at large but the game industry in California is absolutely like this, tech seems to be in a similar situation. It's a v complex problem with no apparent fix.
Which is utter nonsense. They already have APIs, they're used in their mobile apps.
The receipts do not show who you voted for, only the fact that you voted. They can only be used after the election to lookup online whether you voted, but again, it will not show your voting choices.
I didn’t mean to give the impression that the herds died off naturally or died off due to hunting by Native Americans.
Also as someone moving house, being able to just carry a light laptop instead of some big gaming tower is handy.
I'm surprised at the almost universal outrage over this. I assumed this was in response to the whole election interference campaign and related issues, i.e. preventing bots from blasting out content and predetermined times or in response to specific keywords in the news, things like that. So this seems like a step in the direction of ensuring actual humans are doing these things (or at least make it slightly more difficult for the bots). But maybe I'm wrong. I don't really use Facebook to begin with so I'm probably missing something here.
Who mandates the license fee? The government. So, it's a tax, and the BBC is both the state agency collecting the tax and the state agency funded by the tax.
My older brother settled down in the suburbs and picks up work as a substitute teacher in a school with female-dominated staff. He’s a handsome guy. Every time I see him, he tells me the latest story of a teacher or fellow staffmember making a crude sexual joke or coming on to him. All of these being mostly middle-aged women. We have a chuckle.

It’s interesting how men generally don’t “whistleblow” on those sorts of scenarios. Yet only men ever get nailed with “ugh, pigs!” as if women never have open sexual thoughts.
Back during cold war, it was said that US fall into famine if the four biggest fertiliser stockpiles were to be struck/sabotaged/nuked and US will be unable to import food from abroad.

Sounds ridiculous now, but at in 60-70ies (and to lesser extend today,) US had high double digits of world's total agricultural output
Can anyone give an example of how the "common view" could be true at culture-level but not at individual-level?

This editorial spends a page and a half talking about it without a single example.
It's working.

I've found myself unable to access a bunch of US-based local news sites from Europe without using a proxy, and I'm more annoyed with the EU for trying to enforce laws beyond its borders than I am with the sites for seeing geoblocking as the most expedient solution.
I have had a close family member experience and recover from severe OCD. This was at UCLA's child and adolescent OCD program (which was amazing). Let me share what worked:

1) The program first prescribed SSRIs in order to reduce the child's anxiety enough to do the difficult work required.

2) Intense ERP (exposure response prevention) solo and in a group setting. The social aspect of being with fellow sufferers was critical.

3) Coming up with rewards for successful ERP sessions (not food related due to potential overeating)

4) Starting treatment as soon as possible. OCD has a tendency to get worse and harder to treat over time. I clearly saw the difference in treatment efficacy based on how long it took for the child to start treatment.

The link to the program is https://iocdf.org/clinics/ucla-child-adolescent-ocd-intensiv...
The difference is political. The Washington Post and the NYT both publish hate articles, take the news with a grain of salt and not as the truth (most of the time)
It's a simple and extremely powerful language.

Very few pieces of software combine simplicity and power. I'm very excited.

Why shouldn't it be the default male group behavior (for some ages and environments) to discuss women?

Is it that trying to sleep with women is immoral or that considering their looks is immoral or that discussing it is immoral?

I guess the core way I disagree with modern culture is that there's this idea that women are either viewed as objects or as humans. It's kind of obvious that they're both, if you say that women are absolutely not sexual objects or to be seen as such then OK but you've blinded yourself to 50% of how the world unavoidably works. You can and should view women BOTH as objects and humans, and everyone is capable of doing so. I don't think objectification is the offense, I think dehumanisation is and they're not the same thing.
This is my thinking as well. Python is nice to glue things, but doing high-performance math is not its strength. Things like GIL should be addressed long time ago, but it seems it is so fundamental to make things work in Python that I have big doubts that it will ever be addressed.
I use both R and Python in my work but when we move our models to production it's not real time, just a batch execution like once in a day. I'd like to hear from anyone who uses Julia in their actual job/work. Is it worth learning Julia, hoping to use it in work some day?
It's almost like...there's some sort of gendered power imbalance in society? That might make men comfortable disregarding this? But that might not afford women the same privilege?
I have to add: Thalidomide is still prescribed today as it is a very effective drug. Also, as a response, the US has a much stronger system for evaluating drug safety.

You don't need to annotate types to get the speed.
Ask HN: as a researcher using MATLAB daily, is there a Julia IDE that offers a similar experience?
The typical reaction of HN to articles about sexism in tech is basically proof in and of itself of sexism in tech.
You don't even need to annotate things with types!

Yes. Develop once, deploy everywhere.
And the correct response if someone doesn't appreciate your attempted humor is to stop using it, instead of continuing it after they've asked you to stop use that term. You are not "bring someone in" by disregarding their wishes on how to be labelled. Groups can use crude language and be respectful to each other, but everyone being in on it is an important part of it being respectful. (And that goes both ways: people will make bad jokes and IMHO one shouldn't jump on someone for that immediately, although I can see how it can be difficult if things appear again and again, but I think it's fair to expect them to respect it if they get told off for it)
It's non uncommon in mathematics to index from zero as well.
But she doesn't say that she had a lot of degrading comments, that's what my original post said. Her manager had an off joke about bros and a ho and someone once asked her about her sex life. Yeah that's not great but it's world-ending. Most of her article isn't about that, it's complaints about other people, speaking to eachother.
> Pittsburgh has this, too. A dedicated transitway from downtown to the airport.

This has never existed. I'm not even sure what you could be thinking off. The West Busway is an old rail-bed, but it only goes a short ways from the city and servers a couple of communities, after that the airport bus uses the highway.
No, Linux devs...

There's Juno [1], works great.

Actually, sometimes you feel its ecosystem does not attract you since this is really a new language, however, as a package developer, when we decide to use Julia or C++ to finish a performance sensitive simulator: https://github.com/QuantumBFS/Yao.jl we choose Julia, just because we only have two people and we still want something fast and easy to use in 3 month (since it is dynamic). Another thing is the multiple dispatch feature which is really natural to scientific projects (probably even some other area), cannot talk about much details, but just personal experience.
It's the same on iOS:

I don't think I ever allowed any app to access my address book ever.
> Would-be whale watchers knew where to go: There’s an app.

Judging by the vernacular this is not from 1970.
I like Juno for that: http://junolab.org/

It will take awhile for it to fully utilize v1.0. Remember, it just came out so packages will need to catch up. The debugger for example needs to be updated, along with the plotting packages and such. But once everyone updates it should give a very similar experience.
> The dedicated bus lane we're talking about here appears to have one bus every 30 minutes

The West Busway doesn't go to the airport and has buses serving the communities it runs through ever few minutes.
I know that first attempts to make crops to produce nitrogenase date to eighties. The ferment doesn't like to work outside of bacteria.

I'm sure that agro people were working on this problem non-stop for decades.
These two explanations seem entirely compatible to me.

For better or for worse, in an environment where "root cause attribution" is such a preoccupation, it's not such a stretch to think that the agents acting in it would be strongly incentivized to minimize their opportunities to be the root cause - in other words, "be blamed if something goes wrong".

I don't think that needs to be interpreted as nefarious. It might just be that everyone looked at making them more automatic, and just decided that the costs to do all the research that would be necessary for CYA and regulatory purposes would be too great.
>Your link is broken

Sorry, fixed now.

>she absolutely has apologised: https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/1025050118989332480

It's a non-apology, she basically said "some people were mean to me, which gave me a right to be a racist and I'm the real victim".

> If it was the same, then maybe it was wrong with her too. I can't find an apology, however, so it seems different to me.

As I said, I don't support firing people for that, I'm just pointing out hypocrisy.
I wonder where one can find a physics engine that can stack boxes without them flexing, wobbling and falling in a very unrealistic way [1]. It seems very common.

Hella nifty! Why didn't I think of this before?
I'm a male software developer that cringes hard when hearing things like that, and I can't imagine using that sort of language in the workplace. In fact I'm part of an all male team at work and things like that get thrown around all day long, and I find it annoying at times.
At the same time I detest the forced political correctness. And most of the time, all of those terms aren't actually hateful, but used in an playful ironic way.

I'm somewhat torn between what I would personally enjoy (all workplaces clean of the "boys" culture) and what I fundamentally believe is right (people should be free to express themselves in whatever way they choose to, and this way of communication clearly works for certain groups of people).
on the other hand, I'm fairly sure that the knowledge spreading enabled by the internet has (indirectly) saved quite a few lives too!

Military technology doesn't necessarily mean "tech to kill". it could also be tech to save (from natural disasters, horrors induced by already-existing-weapons, etc.)

i agree that we should avoid developing tech that has the exclusive intent of killing, which is what I was trying to imply with my cute SkyNet comment.

edit to clarify: for any given military tech, one needs to consider the possible ramifications. If a given technology is deemed benign, I see no harm in developing it, even if it is for the military. on the other hand, if it has a big potential for destruction, it's not worth developing it for the military, even if it does come with the upside of enabling cool tech to be developed. autonomous killbots is a perfect example, which would probably advance the robotics field at a accelerated rate, but it provides such a huge potential for destruction that it's simply not worth it.
Yao.jl is a fantastic project and I hope to keep following it in the future. Maybe we can build differential equation solver algorithms which utilize quantum algorithms :)
Though that wasn't his quote, he says something broadly similar about an extreme form of pacifism where all fighting is intolerable. It doesn't really apply here as it's hard to argue that our safety is really threatened if the US wasn't involved in various wars.

> Soccer players learn to develop the ability to block out the taunts of the fans, even the most sickening and bigoted vitriol. But what stung Fashanu the most were the comments of his brother John

They also block trash talk from other players, arguably because it's part of the game. Fans though can be extremely shitty, ignoring them takes much more effort. But I didn't know about the story with his brother. In the end it shows what I'm saying: if you're homosexual and another player calls you a fag, you call him shitgobbler and move on, it's game. If a fan does, it takes a higher toll, after a while it just becomes noise. But when it's your own brother, damn.
Yes. The west busway ends around halfway between downtown and the airport. It ends just shy of I-79, and uses the parkway (I-376) for the rest.

Hey @precisionemma, sorry for the late reply - that's a great question. So I'd say there's a few non-standard things that help:

- Transport compressed blocks over RPC storage nodes to query service (i.e. raw byte buffers instead of timestamp and float64 values) to reduce response payloads (and less serialization/deserialization steps)

- Auto batching of fetches, each batch can be fetched in parallel (i.e. on a 24 core box, a single query can become 24 subqueries and run concurrently)

- Series block level caching (fine grained cache), index caching, can enable async inserts which heavily reduces lock contention at the series map layer because the inserts get batched together (durable as written to WAL but series may take a few milliseconds to show up after a write finishes, so you can't always read your own writes if you're using this, which is ok for metrics)

- Ensuring bloom filters and index summaries are in mmap and not on heap, to reduce GC pressure, also scoped to each time window so helps for sparse time series because the disk has to be read a lot less if the in memory bloom filters tell you you only need to fetch part of one file volume (out of a lot of potential file volumes) before going to disk

- Object pooling of a lot of data structures and keeping things in mmaps as much as possible helps reduce the heap size and consequently GC pressure is less (even using bytes instead of strings for keys and IDs was a huge win, because byte buffers can be reused whereas strings are immutable and so cannot be reused)

I hope that helps, its not an entirely comprehensive list but definitely covers some things.
Apparently the receipt itself doesn't show the votes. There's a way to check that the votes were registered correctly (online and involving a PIN) but it's not as simple as just looking at the receipt.

Obvs vote buying / intimidation could still happen but I'm not sure it would be practical at scale.
This would be quite difficult to debug for the average user. A lot of systemd functionality appears to be designed for military environments served by Redhat for instance journalctls binary logs for security auditing. But this is not required by the vast majority of Linux users.

Offloading complexity to everyone to serve a specific use case is bad design. It's like implementing high security military procedures in the average office, not needed and a waste of time and resources.

Shouldn't security features over engineered by design like a time daemon launched by dynamic users in a new mount space left to user choice. Surely those who need that level of security should take the responsibility to enable it, accept the debt and deal with the complexity, rather than imposing it on everyone else. In this case ntpd is a better solution for average users.

Most distributions voted for an init system. An init has a limited role. Systemd is proving to be anything but.

do you have a link to any NYTimes articles that are factually incorrect?
The landing page is entirely dedicated to sign up. I'm lazy. I won't sign up unless I have to. The landing page has no information about the product that makes me want to sign up. There's more information about product in your comment than on the page. In fairness if the information in the comment was on the page, I wouldn't sign up because the product does not solve a need I have. For me, most products don't...I don't use Uber either.

Good luck.
I don't know why people always focus on the birth rate in Japan. It's pretty standard to developed nations, and there are nations with a lower birth rate.

I think I misunderstood this entirely when I first saw it, I always thought she was babysitting or had a daycare and they were not her kids and most of the time she has kids but they are not twins.
I don't think these issues are actually that separate; both of them seek to limit Uber trips; one does it on the demand side by increasing the price, the other does it on the supply side, by directly constraining supply.

The exact mechanisms are different, but the direction they are pushing is basically the same so that if one doesn't work the other should.
There are a million power imbalances in society and gender isn't close to the most important, it's just the most discussed. The real wage gap when you control for time worked and job choice is tiny.

Ask yourself this - would you consider your child more lucky to be an ugly, short boy or a pretty girl? Or a boy and you have 20k a year to bring him up vs a girl and you have 50? Walking around furious as a good looking middle class woman that you're incredibly disadvantaged is basically a religious status. But instead of being offended by very specific insults or assumptions you're offended by everything.

in a previous life, I had 5 Community version pfSense firewalls running off of Soekris net5505 boxes. They were in areas with a lot of power issues (UPS's helped as much as they can), so they were beaten up pretty bad for 6+ years before I left.

Only issues I had were once I got 50mb up/down with 60+ users, it started to bog down. I virtualized that one in VMWare and that took care of that. I did have one power supply burn out and one CF card die, but those net5501 were in use for 8 years straight before I repurposed them.

For $250 (in 2005 maybe?) for hardware, I can't complain at all.

*Edit

The best part was exporting the backup configs, then tossing them onto a new machine (another Soekris, VM, or PC hardware) and having a new firewall back up in minutes if you had the ethernet ports figured out beforehand.
