ElegantJ BI Announces ElegantJ BI Mobile App for Tally
It reminds me of this joke [0]:

"The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl."

Makes me wonder whether there's an Agenda behind this article. Who's paying for it? Who's behind it?
Looks like a complex topic, but the code is small enough to help remove the rust from my math gears. I guess everybody would want it ported to CUDA/OpenCL/Vulkan?
That's a correct description of 'data science' as it is understood around me, among social scientists.

Gelman, Tufte and Wickham are in the pantheon, sometimes followed by dataviz fellows like Cairo.

Never heard of Warden.

Silver would likely be described as a 'data journalist' rather than (or at least as often as) a data scientist.
Thank you for your reality check.

There are way too many statements which are easily echoed blindly but just as easily fact-checked (and all too often, debunked) by going for a walk there. Thank you for doing and speaking about the latter.
Unfortunately, the tax does not work in a global economy, where the bigger employers can vote with their feet and employees cannot.

(minimal wage doesn't work either for the same reason)

Both measures impact smaller employers more too and cause problems for local employers but not global ones.

The good solution would be to either tax local revenue of global companies, hunt the dodges and tariff the imported products (again problematic) as well as imported labour. This stinks of mercantilism of course and could have higher order effects.

Interesting to see the per-company breakdown. I wonder about the sample size. Blind seems like a promising avenue for getting sentiment analysis inside of companies, but there is a pretty serious sampling bias, as many who sign up for Blind might already be feeling disillusioned.
> But in electricity/electronics, we deal with the entire range of metric prefixes… terabytes, nanofarads, gigaohms, microseconds

But you don't. You'll almost never use whole Farads, for example. It's even on the Wikipedia page: related units, nF, uF.

> Care to share some examples?

I don't really mind the difference between giga/mega/kilo. I was really just talking about a ballpark where we don't want the biggest thing ever to be unity in our everyday unit.

You do raise a valid point with height. This is because the gravitational field in some sense makes length directional: 3km up is very different to 3km along. Clearly, we need some vector based measures so we could scale them sensibly, g-hat and x-hat : ).

Can you think of many man made structures who have just one of some extensive property in an everyday unit?

This has been discussed previously[1]. As someone from the outside, I'd be interested to know whether any actual spec has been started, or is it still at the planning stage and what could interested parties do to help speed up the process?

One book and summary every two weeks in your inbox
You could set the maximum time in the deck options: e.g. set it to 1 month, and all cards will have that as the next interval if you answer them right. After you work through the cards, you can increase this maximum. There's a chance, however, that after all this time you'll have many of cards reset back to beginning.

Or, you can fire up the desktop card browser and reschedule all the cards in those decks—choose "return to the learning queue" so they pop up like new, or set some interval like, again, a month. Then you can do a “custom study” to work through the cards right away. (I haven't tried this method, though, so not sure it will work.)
> One reason the police cannot carry out more forceful raids, Mr. Laugesen said, is because they do not want to shock the crowds of tourists who come to gawk, and buy.

Wait until a wet Tuesday evening in October, and the police will use more force. I saw this a few times when I lived very near Christiania; it was around the time they had the problem with the serious criminal.

I'd be more tolerant of the drug market if they refused to sell cannabis to under 18s, but the dealers will sell to anyone.
Well, people do maintain gitlab instances, so it's worth something to them. There is lots of reasons to do, usually corporate, sometimes activist.

GitHub would likely not risk much losses but people not using GitHub would immensely benefit either way, if GH implements it or not.
So how can you build a parallel application on top of this that can share all cores of the CPU?
Definitely not.

There are several issues on Gitlab that deal with the question of federation and building a network of the seperate instances:

- Discover self-hosted projects from gitlab.com [0]

- Implement cross-server (federated) merge requests [1]

- Share events externally via ActivityPub [2]

Afair Gitlab Enterprise edition currently supports some forms of federation.

The one I had in mind was getAbstract.
Oh, wow.

I'd love to hear more about how such a system works, purely for engineering value's sake, because it happens to be a thing I find very interesting from an outsider's standpoint.

On the surface, as someone mostly naive about cellular RF, I know you're dealing with things like

- Given <n> buildings, how do you optimize for reception around (and, for 1000 bonus points, inside) said buildings, while minimizing echos (and, subsequently, in-band noise that the RF frontends can't mechanically filter) from signal reflections?

- Given a tunnel long enough to need a snake-antenna system (what are these properly called, and are they actually snakes? I just see long thick cables at the (dark) entrances to train tunnels), how should you place the towers near both ends of the tunnel to optimize handover?

- Given <random bunch of hills>, how do you optimize placement within terrain, elevation, landscape features, etc?

I'm guessing your system has access to highly-accurate databases of landscape/terrain and building geometry/geography (basically the machine-readable equivalent to Google Maps)?

The reason I mention the above is to characterize/elucidate this problem space to hopefully attract interested replies encouraging you to find out what details your boss will let you share. :D
Thank you kindly. I used this + one more resource to get my startups site all green (I thought HTTPS redirect was enough) - hopefully it doesn't cause any bugs/issues this busy week but it's now done :) Cheers
If you want to learn how to make a CMS or just learn more about web development then definitely have a go at making your own website from scratch. If however your main aim is not to learn about technical aspects I'd strongly advise you to just use a preexisting service.

As per a different comment if you are worried about page load speeds you have some options, you can use Wordpress as your CMS in a headless manner which will let you cache pages for future visitors.
They are not looking to grow iceberg lettuce that bounces around on a truck for a week. They are going to grow premium greens, the article mentions chervil and mizuna, that are going to be eaten the same day it is harvested.
This "ForgeFed" thing is the same that was posted here a while back called "GitPub". It was just renamed [1], it's not a new specification.

Take example sentences from your grammar book in Anki. Quiz from your native language to target language only. You'll be surprised at how useful it is.

Vocab is a grind no matter how you do it, but the best place to be is being able to read books. This will allow you to have a natural repetition in context and get you will easily and enjoyably acquire the vocabulary. However, once you're past the most common 3000 words or so, new vocabulary often shows up at pretty rare frequencies. So if you're free reading and you encounter a rare piece of vocab it's quite useful to jam it into SRS software like Anki and review it until you are up to about 1 month frequency -- which will probably be when you encounter the word naturally.
The choice of Ruby for a platform that is supposed to enable decentralization does not make sense.

Most Ruby apps have tens to hundreds of dependencies and require a build environment which immediately limits access to a smaller group of developers familiar with Ruby build environments and debugging their way out of any dependency hell. Customization also becomes a problem.

There is also no particular design in Mastodon itself to enable more transparency and prevent any arbitrary behavior and abuse of power.

Hi, thank you! Hope it goes well :)
Well, not 100% full time. I'm also working on another product together with my dev partner, which requires a little bit more work than RemoteHacker for now, so I'm basically balancing between those two projects and client work.
Development of tools or web apps for internal company use.
It’s arguable that that is a fine on allowed behavior.

Consider somone charging 10,000$ per month rent, but giving white people a 9,000$ discount would clearly be illegal.
Weird comparison. The native DOM already performs some kind of buffering. All changes to the DOM tree in one single JS thread are rendered at once. React just has a slightly simplified virtual version of the DOM so it can be smarter about reuse, possibly causing speedups.
I've been keeping an eye on the mailing list. There was an initial burst of activity when it started, but then it faded out. I'm not aware of any drafted specification, so it has to be in the planning stage still.

I believe that working on B2B software is a force for good. Nations and people that need each other for trade don't have good reason to go to war. Plus we can't all be raising money for do good charities, there has to be some real trade based economy going on. Hence merely working on B2B software is : saving the planet:.
I don't want you to do anything; I'm just sharing that I can't make sense of what you're saying. I don't know why - it just looks like a list of words strung together.

Maybe this analysis helps:

> Generally don't like AJAX

Not quite sure what AJAX has to do with this - I don't think Mastodon differs from Twitter here? In the sense that it has webpages that make requests to servers without reloading the page.

> it's JS and XML

This is confusing as well. You refer to XML, which is probably due to the first method of sending HTTP requests without a full page request being the XMLHTTPRequest DOM API. I'm not sure if XML was necessarily involved when that was the only method, but I'm quite sure no XML is involved at all in Mastodon. But even if it was, it's not quite sure what the problem of that would be for you as a user.

> Twitter services don't require Stylesheets or XLS as it's called

This one is really hard to parse. My intuition would be that you're talking about Cascading Stylesheets (CSS), the method commonly used to define what a webpage looks like. But then you also mention XLS, which I assume does not refer to Microsoft Excel's file format, but I'm not quite sure what it does refer to - maybe you meant XSLT? But both Mastodon and Twitter use CSS (and I can't imagine you being against that), and neither uses XSLT?

> XML is bloated and creates metadata for sale.

As far as I know XML only contains the data the developers put in there, and the same would be true for alternatives such as the more commonly used JSON. And again, there's no XML in Mastodon.

> In addition to AJAX allowing Orwellian advertisement influence.

So I guess your point is that somehow there's more advertisement influence at Mastodon than at Twitter? Again, it's entirely unclear how that would be the case.

To sum up: it's probably downvoted because there doesn't appear to be reasonable criticism in here, and in fact, there doesn't really seem to be any content that one could even technically criticise.

I hope I at least made clear why I was unable to understand your post, or even to criticise it. I might have misunderstood, in which case do enlighten me, but it can at least explain why people downvote you. Hope that helps.
The evidence gets you nothing. Only an actual job offer could work, anything else is unsafe in the extreme and might get you big unwanted notice. Trying to negotiate from weak no fallback position is bad.

(In other words, it can get you shortlisted and potentially flagged as a troublemaker. Say bye to references. Employers talk sometimes.)
Avoiding proprietary software is a good engineering practice, it has nothing to do with politics.

For the case of science, depending on closed products is obviously a malpractice.
Curious as to whether Globalsign verified the tip-off (but didn’t notice the source was outdated) or didn’t verify them at all.

The former is a nightmare to deal with but the latter might open this up to be used maliciously against any Globalsign customer
The key to successful hydrophonic farming is, surprisingly, marketing.

I've visited a couple of these in Europe. There's a lot of manual labor and electricity involved and it's very expensive. The only way to make it work is to sell your lettuce as '100% environmentally friendly, zero pesticides' and ask 10x the price of 'regular' lettuce.

But honestly, I've never really tased the difference and I wonder if the environmentally-friendly stuff holds true if you really look into it.
I'm not sure whether you intended what you said to be read this way, but I took "there's no point in spending even more when you get home" to mean "stop watching the clock when you get home, and just chase stuff."

I think all ideas should be discussed in an open forum. If you think some people may become nazis, communists or pastafarians because those ideas appeal to them, it's because you're afraid the ideas you're trying to push on aren't that good to begin with. (Posting from another account because that one has been banned for no reason I can discern.)
In addition to what the sibling poster said, https://info.ornl.gov/sites/publications/files/Pub29596.pdf and http://moltensalt.org/references/static/downloads/pdf/MCFR_B... contain some discussion of the salt options, particularly for fast reactors.

For thermal reactors, particularly if you want to breed, then you have to be very careful wrt losing neutrons (since you're barely with your nose above water to begin with), so there parasitic neutron capture becomes a very important parameter. And yes, in that regime FLiBe turns out to be a pretty good choice.

For fast reactors, you have more excess neutrons so you have a bit more freedom. Cl, being heavier, allows a slightly harder spectrum, which is good, though not that critical. That being said, there are many fast spectrum paper reactors using flouride salts as well (not FLiBe, but FLiNaK, or some ZrF salts etc.).
Maybe not so terrible. Of course "some" crops are more valuable than other, but I bet than growing vegetables is only half of the business here.

The dirty secret of the agriculture is that this green creatures love manure, and need it to growth well.

I happens than Las Vegas Hotels generate large amounts of animal waste each day and need to pay for getting rid of all this stuff asap by road or pipeline... Connect the dots.
"Would love to setup a vertical city farm... I reckon it'd be an awesome job and business."

What's wrong with a traditional horizontal farm in a greenhouse? As people collect in urban centers there certainly won't be shortage of land.

It does enable you to be your own admin. Sure, it doesn't work if people sign up with arbitrary admins with arbitrary (ab)use of power, but even with an alternative that does "solve" it - it only works if people sign up there.
It never happened so far. What did happen is consumer goods crises where people couldn't afford necessities like food. War and revolutions followed.
High rent prices with no recourse can cause the same result.

Examples: Germany after WW1, Russian bolshevik revolution. Probably a few more.
> For the case of science, depending on closed products is obviously a malpractice.

Closed products are the norm, in science and otherwise. 'Obviously malpractice' is a silly assertion to make, as sometimes there is no other choice.
Well you can target a specific CPU model and its specific cache sizes and functional units, even the microcode revision it uses. Some cryptographic code certainly does that. But it is a major overhead to comprehend all that detail for even a small section of code. There are undocumented micro ops that are present, but they are not really relevant to this, they are not the cause of speculative execution attacks.

The compiler is poor at anticipating the many types of dynamic program behaviour. But the CPU is also bad at dealing with it. The very simple statistical model for branch prediction is used because space on the die is precious. Cycle accurate simulation is done routinely, if anyone had come up with a much better (and equally general) predictor that could fit on die it would already be in use.
People have tried many variants of dynamically recompiling machine code. For example, early MIPS processors (R3000) recompiled everything to be slightly closer to the specific CPU, and exposed pipeline stages (like delayed branch, delayed load), software page fault handling etc.

In some ISAs you can even encode the branch prediction hints the compiler makes (from analysis or profiling) into the opcode. But the gains are limited.

Ask HN: Python or general programming horror stories?
I've recently started working on an open source python web framework having come from the frontend and previously other envs. I've fallen into the bowels of complex codebases that are hard to debug before, but this is a whole notha level of dependancy hell amonst other issues.

Do you have any horror stories of working for days or weeks just trying to get to a stable state of being able to write code productively? Terrible onboarding stories? I know you're our there.
There's a third-party web client mentioned elsewhere in this thread: https://ankimono.com/

I haven't tried it so not sure if it syncs with AnkiWeb and really works as a full-fledged client, but it sounds like a fitting solution for your stack.

By the way, there are bluetooth remotes/joypads for one hand, e.g. Zeemote or mini gaming pads [0] — they may be more comfortable to use with Anki and the TV while exercising, compared to the keyboard and mouse. Afaik people are using them with Anki in text-to-speech mode on phones. And media server apps like Kodi have “big picture” interfaces suited for such remotes.

I'm a European immigrant to Copenhagen, and by chance lived on Christianshavn for the first few months, so I asked many Danes what they thought of Christiania.

There was a wide range of views.

Older people (40+) tended either to moderately disapprove, or to be very tolerant. Younger people (25-35) were more extreme; they either strongly defended the place as you do, or were definitely against it. I haven't asked enough youths to be able to generalize. People from Copenhagen were often less tolerant than those from Funen or Jutland.

I think it depends when people last saw it, how often, and in what circumstances they visited.

Going on a wet November evening just to buy drugs isn't great, it feels dodgy. Warm summer evenings are nice -- just like everywhere else in Denmark. Pusher Street felt very tense a couple of years ago; I was approached by "security" for having a camera over my shoulder, but this summer it's very relaxed, since the stalls are open and no longer covered in camouflage netting.

That cannabis is legal-ish in some of the US isn't especially relevant. It makes as much sense to compare a Danish pub during American prohibition.
