Like any business endeavor, if you don't have the skills to do it yourself, you need the resources to gain the skills, either through learning, networking and meeting people, or hiring someone. The scale you start at changes things too. We've spoken to a few grassroots ISPs that started 3-5 years ago by non-IT folks who just wanted to share with a few neighbors. Over the course of time they learned and grew the network and now they're at a couple hundred customers. Not big in the ISP sense, but it provided an essential service to their community and competes with [and steals customers from] incompetent, or at worse, anti-consumer incumbent ISPs.

If you have the passion, but not the IT skill set, be the banner waver. Be the leader of the endeavor. Use your passion to convert others. You'll find your talent.

MIT Releases a Free and Open Source Computer Programming Language to the Public
I bought a Xiaomi Mipad 4 recently and honestly it's incredibly good https://www.mi.com/mipad4/

Snapdragon 660, 6000mAH battery, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage. The display is so-so 1920x1200, not the best but still good. And that was $180 from Aliexpress (The iPad Mini is $399)
Awesome peek into the FreeBSD desktop ecosystem. Being a long time Linux user, it was nice to get a peek at what seems the same and what isn't

The hardware is:

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga laptop
Intel Core i7-6600U 2.60 GHz CPU (Skylake)
8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
Intel HD Graphics 520 integrated graphics
14″ WQHD 2560 x 1440 touchscreen with Retina-like 210 dpi

Looks nice! When I saw Mac-like I secretly hoped they'd found a good aluminum unibody laptop I could throw linux onto. Can anyone speak to the durability and the flex of the chassis on these things?
My kids ride their bikes to school. During the winter we install studded tires. And yes, it saves on bus fare. Plus, they can get up a few minutes later in the morning and still be on time at school -- what an incentive.
I can definitely recommend rhodiola rosea, the main topic of this paper. The effects are pretty noticeable as sort of a general non-inebriating calmness & shift towards more positive emotions. It doesn't seem to have any negative side effects or addictive potential.

The idea is that when people say "generics", they usually just mean map/filter/reduce. So ply just bakes those into the language directly instead of adding new generic programming facilities.
Adding bike lanes to existing infrastructure may not be as simple as it seams. Then there's culture. Kids in The Netherlands learn to ride bicycles when really small. My son is 5, cycling to and from school. My daughter is 2 years old, cycling around the house. That's important for a life long appreciation of the clean, cheap and healthy bike.
They have 200ms reaction time without needing to move a mouse and/or target the opponent.

A human has ~200ms simple reaction time, then begins to move their fingers. Which then moves a mouse to target an area, which then requires hotkeys to be pushed. etc. etc.

Its still definitely a mechanical advantage, and it seems evident in the gameplay videos. The bots still seem "super-human" in their aim and some of the timing of spells.
They also have books. Should they have only white sheets of paper instead?

Pretty cool! One thing to note is the cooling capacity is limited to the consumption rate of the city based on how it's designed right now.

> The cold water drawn from Lake Ontario's deep layer in the Enwave system is not returned directly to the lake once it has been run through the heat exchange system. The Enwave system only uses water that is destined to meet the city's domestic water needs. Therefore, the Enwave system does not pollute the lake with a plume of waste heat.
"Cob" includes the straw. Its the name of a construction method basically involving mud and straw. My aunt and uncle's previous house was built in the 1640s of cob, with a reed thatch roof, including a catslide. We called it the mud hut, due to our lack of imagination.

Show HN: Mendo – simple, deterministic, understandable social sharing
Hi Hacker News,

We’re beta testing a new thing, and we’d love your feedback. It’s called Mendo, a new take on social sharing that’s understandable, asynchronous, and surfaces the best things being shared by people you trust.

Mendo is simply ranked by number-of-shares, for links last shared in a given time period. In order to start cheaply, we integrated with Twitter and are surfacing our data as a daily digest of top links shared by the people you follow on Twitter. On its own, this feels useful for us: we want to be in the loop, but often miss things on our social feeds.

But, don’t be fooled, this isn’t just a Twitter digest email. The idea here is a new system for sharing and ranking content on the web. We’re working on apps and other ways to display this data, if the idea resonates.

Please let us know what you think!

Hospitals generally operate on <5% margins. If you force them to provide supplies at cost then they'll have to get that revenue from somewhere else.

Also, people like you who force hospitals to chase you down to pay a bill are part of the reason why it's so expensive in the first place.
1. I would pick up other techniques for getting myself unstuck. Stopping and doing something else sometimes works... and sometimes, it just makes you later. Favorite ones for me include googling (you'll be doing a lot of this!), rubber duck debugging ( https://rubberduckdebugging.com/ ), and occasionally the Creative Whack Pack ( https://creativewhack.com/product.php?productid=64 ).

4. Although software development won't become less valued, each individual technical toolset has a natural rise and fall. Older technologies move out of favor. Think about how you deal with studying something for years, then learning that particular technology -- although it's still very good -- is just "not popular", so companies no longer want to use it.

Good luck, no matter whether you move into coding or not!
AR is an order of magnitude harder than VR because of overlaying visuals on top of a view instead replacing/blocking it.

Why not recover the sUAs with a big UAV? You can do all sorts of crazy things re: vehicle design, if you don't need people inside.

For example, have each sUA just dive toward the UAV from above, decelerate to a zero/zero intercept, and cut propulsion, such that it goes ballistic falling past the loading bay; and then have the UAV target the sUA with a net out of its loading bay, catch it, and reel it in. Like a skyhook that assumes an uncooperative peer.

Or, have the sUAs throw themselves at random points on the the UAV's (very thick and solid and ferromagnetic) hull, and lock onto it magnetically, and then have the UAV pluck the sUAs off with external cranes and bring the sUAs into the loading bay. Like a monkey plucking ticks off of itself and eating them.
Really, really cool. I don’t any usecases in mind, but I want one. I wish someone can just port a Sublime text or A VSCode on the headset, and code from here.

No encryption though.
But it grows the amount of code in the kernel, making it more likely to be buggy, more so if some of these old interfaces get used less and less (and, hence, likely tested less and less), and the underlying root interface gets refactored again and again to support new polling interfaces.

If coal, gas, and solar workers all quite tomorrow, the "power" from coal and gas would go out, but most solar installations would keep on producing regardless.

Beyond being a feel-good piece for math-inclined folks to finally have one to hold over those arrogant doctors, this basically reveals all the worst parts of credit distribution in academia. Until "knowledge" can be quantified and catalogued in an exhaustive database such that new contributions can be evaluated instantly for novelty, this kind of thing will occur because there are lots of inter-academic communication barriers to intermediate.

Also, the context of citations is important and isn't quantified by anyone. My guess would be that this paper has been cited more as a cautionary tale than in actual practice, and those two citations should not be treated equally.
It's five independent agents. The article on OpenAI's website and the network structure both say this. I'll zoom in since it's a complicated structure.

It's the first line of the article:

They use a hyperparameter called team spirit to cooperate. I don't think the goal of this is AGI at all, so I don't see why people are making that leap. But sure, for the geniuses of HN this must clearly be trivial.
Trump Says Google Search Results Are 'Rigged' and Suppress Conservative Voices
Yeah, the guidance is usually to hoist the subexpressions out to variables like you do here. But I encounter it often enough that it feels like we are trying to paper over a poor language syntax.

> we are returning promises from getters on objects which is something I would avoid.

Getters are very common in Dart and it's idiomatic to use them even for properties that are asynchronous. (It's not like making it a method with an extra `()` really solves anything.) It's not as common to have nested chains of asynchronous properties, but they do happen, especially in tests.
Ditto. I bought the Mipad 3 from gearbest, and haven't looked back. Awesome little device for plane rides and keeping our little fella occupied during long car trips.
In this case the mismatch is between a type argument and the way that a type parameter is used, so it's not a type mismatch/error, it's a meta-type mismatch error. You are suggesting that the meta-type be inferred from the function (and any functions that it calls) rather than being explicitly stated. That is doable--C++ does it--but it means that the user has to understand the requirements of an implicitly inferred meta-type. The Go design draft suggests instead that the user be required to understand an explicitly stated contract.
Most probably; I happen to have gone to the site a few says ago and it was working as usual.

I agree with the mentality that touch = consume and type = produce. The efficiency and imtimacy of user interaction of keyboards is simply unmatched with other competing input devices. Open-ness of platforms is secondary.
The transition to v1.0 for packages is taking some time. The core language is so extensible and allows performant packages such that much of what people expect to be core (an FFT) is in an external package which has not yet been updated for 1.0.

> In the real world, the amount of code I'm forced to understand that uses overly complicated abstractions is the issue.

This may say more about the specific codebases you work in than it does the software world at large. I spend most of my time in a couple of languages that all have generics and don't experience the problem you describe.
Those things aren't being "cute". For example, upper/lower case for exported/unexported is a huge readability benefit.

You would be less frustrated if you took the time to understand why these decisions were made, instead of pronouncing them arbitrary.

Go's designers were long-time C users (longer than anyone else in the world, in fact); they had every reason to stick with the way things worked in C, but they deliberately chose to make Go different.

I did however talk to an elementary teacher, she said the kids do the reading assignment on a tablet and she has a monitor where she can see at her desk what each individual is struggling with. I'm not sure more about how this works. Lots of enthusiasm from a long time teacher though.
Which is pretty marginal for non-mainstream content. The answer is that you're probably buying anything on disc that is at all obscure. Which isn't actually that bad. DVDs aren't super-expensive for the most part.

How about Pages, Numbers Keynote? (Sure there are Google equivalents, but the argument is that iPad is for consumption and not creation.)

It’s 2013 thinking to suggest iPads are for content consumption and it’s ridiculous to assert that a Chromebook has any advantage for creation.
So I'm going to war with  PalantirTech
Those in this thread recommending Chromebooks are missing a big part of the equation. You don't need to be able to read to use an iOS device. Chromebooks are much more reliant on the user knowing the written word to interact with the device (unless their is some elementary school mode that I am unaware of). As long as you can recognize icons, you can interact with an iOS device and switch between apps.
But for heating you don't have to use electricity, you lose less energy burning propane for heat than if you burned propane to make electricity to deliver 100 miles away to turn back into heat. And there is always the option of wood burning which is common in northern areas and also renewable and cheap. Producing heat is 100% or more efficient, producing cold air is far less efficient.
This is a real shame. Our family has really enjoyed our iPad Minis. They have lasted so long that it makes more sense for the kids to get MacBooks next ( in addition to needing iPhones anyway ). But otherwise I would have happily refreshed them by purchasing the latest model. The form factor is ideal for kids.
Frankly, superior reaction time and other mechanical skills in Dota2 (or Starcraft, or other games which are being tested) makes me think that a typical AI would beat a human.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKVFZ28ybQs

That's the "gloves come off" AI. Granted, its a problem solved by raw, mechanical button-pushes at a rate beyond what is possible on a keyboard/mouse, but it demonstrates the greatest skills an AI or computer has.

Of course, no one wants to see an AI beat a human using known methodologies. They want to see an AI win at the abstract game of "a game of strategy".

From this perspective, I think the poker AI results over the past year or two have been far more interesting. AIs figuring out the Nash Equalibrium and playing bluffing games around it.

Sure, its a bit mechanical and mathematically inclined, but generalizing and solving the bluffing game is IMO far more useful.

You want to visit sites that aren't Facebook, and you already gave them your data for free.
The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to start practicing, and keep practicing.

Very few people stay motivated to study, unless they have some kind of goal.

So try finding your goal first. Perhaps it would be to create something that would help your life as a journalist.

Then, once you have your goal, try to create it. You'll discover what you're missing. It might be that you don't know how to store things so that they can be found flexibly -- so you then study databases. It might be that your code is far too slow -- so you study algorithms. It might be that you need to plug in functionality that others have written -- so you study frameworks.

Good luck.

A rational number is represented in a fundamentally different way than a floating-point type, or a fixed-point number, or a BigFloat. Julia allows you to define your own types, so if you want to define a type that behaves in the special way you want, you're welcome to do so.

Yeah, they're not serious citations. They're either criticisms or jokes. I've heard that it's become a bit of a meme.
I'm not sure if you already have a blog post about it, but would you mind describing some of those uses? It's probably obvious to you, but I've never taught young children, so it's unclear to me what kind of techniques you are using.

I taught English as a foreign language for 5 years at high school level and since I'm a computer programmer by training, my colleagues were very keen for me to introduce technology to the class. I started from that perspective, but gradually reduced the technology until at 5 years I was using a blackboard, paper and pencils only.

For me, (and especially for teaching language, I suspect) it was much more important to keep students engaged and keep their comprehension levels high. I spent a lot of time testing those comprehension levels, modelling responses and encouraging interaction amongst the students. I found that technology moved the focus of the students from the subject to the technology. Instead engaging in the subject, they would become passive and be focused on the device, or presentation. We even had a big wall of dictionaries in the classroom and I asked the students to use it as a resource of last resort. Instead, I wanted them to find people in the room who knew the answer to their question -- teaching language is about communication after all ;-)

From that perspective, it's interesting to hear from someone who seems to take a different approach. I'd love to know what kinds of things you are aiming towards and how the use of technology provides it.

It's one more thing to lug around. No one is saying that a mouse is hard to use, the point is that touch screens are even more intuitive. I have heard anecdotal evidence of very young babies, like 9 months - 1 year, using ABC apps. They just "get it" and for them, "it just works".
Interesting fl/oss dispute from a while back.
