Generative art is a fascinating space - it's in its infancy for sure - I've been getting into it this past year and wrote my first algorithm about a year ago:

https://anemy.github.io/concentric/

Like all art, it comes down to who witnesses it, and how it makes them feel. However - there's a definite gap between seeing something in real life versus digitally which I'd like to see Naon bridge. There's a large community of plotters which are doing a good job of bringing generative art into the real world. Definitely worth checking out the twitter hashtag:

https://twitter.com/hashtag/plottertwitter?src=hash

Naon cranks out amazing compositions at an astounding rate, it makes me real happy to see him get some good exposure like this.

One of the cofounders of Etsy, Jared Tarbell, is also a great artist and worth checking out: http://www.complexification.net/gallery/

If you'd like to see more generative works, the subreddit is a good starting place: https://www.reddit.com/r/generative/
I haven't worked in an american classroom, but as a math educator, thought the CommonCore looked great when it was first rolling out.

Math education is (kind of strangely) a bit of a battlefield in the US (maybe not so strangely, when everything else seems to be, too)... I think a big part of it is prevalent math anxiety - perhaps embarrassment at seeing unfamiliar things on the kid's homework. Along with this, there's still lingering bad PR from the 'New Math' of the seventies, which made it somehow acceptable to make the argument that we should stick to teaching math the same way forever. (Especially for people who believe that math hasn't changed since Newton.)

Zero substance? The point is that these are experts in their niche of law. That is a highly sought after skill. What is your argument that these people should not be able to use their knowledge of the law? Are they automatically corrupt or something?
PM for Azure DevOps here (formerly VSTS). It is a rebranding, but it's more than merely a rebranding. We're breaking out the individual services so that they're easier to adopt. For example, if you're just interested in pipelines, you can adopt only pipelines.

We've got some neat new features launching today and more coming soon. My favorite new feature is the Azure Pipelines app the the GitHub Marketplace. It makes it one-click to build a continuous integration and pull request validation pipeline right from your GitHub repository, you don't even need an Azure DevOps account to get started.
Free speech isn't something that can be given or provided to anyone, it's something which everyone has by nature of being human. You can speak. It requires the action of another person or groups of people to actively change that. It can only be infringed. Of course, when infringed to any degree short of actual afixment of a physical gag, the infringer can smile and say that you retain 'free speech'... but they can no longer claim to respect the notion that it is wrong for one person to infringe on the speech of another.
The author here, with a bit of background:
As someone who doesn't compulsively clean up their tabs and likes to keep a lot of research lines open, I was really dissatisfied with the native Chrome tab management capabilities. None of the existing extension worked quite how I liked either.

So I brainstormed some ideas and built this out. It worked pretty well for myself and some of my colleagues, so I spent a lot more time polishing it up for a wider audience.

Plenty of more ideas for improvement in the pipeline, but I think it's pretty useful already. Let me know what you think!

Fun bit of trivia as well; the UI is written mainly in elm - which became a real pleasure to work with once I got the hang of it.

It’s a major conflict of interest to go from writing the regulations to being paid by the companies you regulated. What if it becomes understood that you get a high salary for an easy job if and only if you write regulations that are favorable to the companies?

How do you stop this without limiting fundamental human freedoms? I have no idea. But that doesn’t mean this situation is good or that we should stop pointing out the problems. The lack of a solution does not imply the absence of a problem.
It's over 30 years since I was taught about the Y combinator and I still find it amazing - it allows you to define recursion in a language which has no concept of recursion or named functions - such as λ-calculus.

The fact that you then define this in terms of amazingly simple functions like the S and K combinators just, in my opinion, adds to how wonderful it is.
I use a terminal text editor when I'm doing something in the terminal, need to do a quick edit and don't want to have to switch away from the terminal into a GUI editor. For me that's typically commit messages and not-too-complex config files. In such cases using a terminal editor is simply more convenient...
M1 = cash/cash equivalents
M2 = M1 + short term deposits
M3 = M2 + long term deposits

M1 + M2 directly influence inflation - this is the money in circulation, greasing the wheels of the economy.

QE increased the monetary base by creating creating bank reserves (M3 long term deposits), re-capitalizing banks and companies after the financial crisis triggered collection chains many , giving them a clean sheet to borrow/loan again and make good on prior obligations (the ones that hadn't exploded).

In order for QE to affect inflation, banks would have to loan out these reserves, converting M3 money into M1/M2 - currency in circulation.

Banks only loaned out a fraction of the $4T they were given by the Fed.

The whole story is a global lack of demand in developed countries for loans/capital to help businesses invest.

Many companies aren't buying new machines (what would they buy?), and they aren't hiring new skilled workers (what skills do they need with no new machines?) - large contributing factor to wage stagnation.

Instead they are cutting costs - outsourcing departments, renting server time, looking to ML/AI to reduce reliance on costly humans with stagnating skill sets.

Interest rates are the cost of borrowing money. Interest rates are low because the demand for money and investment capital is low. There's a large supply of money and a decreasing amount of safe, productive places to invest it.

That looks very cool.

With the "rendez-vous" URL being hosted by Microsoft (it looks that way in the video), does it mean your source code is sent to Microsoft, or does the server-side simply act as a relay to facilitate communication between 2 endpoints without needing to be exposed to the code?
It is not about changing minds, it is about angering and motivating a certain segment of the population to vote.
Bullshit. I said exactly what I intended to say; the distinction between empirical observation and other forms of truth was pretty much the entire point. I mean, you did actually read what I wrote, right?
>> We have sensitivity to pressure, weight and sound - even so people don't generalize lots of physical objects from only a few examples either.

I dare say we do. For example, once a toddler has figured out how to grasp and manipulate objects, he or she can subsequently grasp and manpiulate any object that they are physically able to grasp and manipulate, regardless of shape, colour, size, texture etc.

For example, if I know how to grab a Barbie doll, I know how to grab a Teddy bear, a firetruck, my mother's skirt, a spoon, etc, etc with the same level of skill.

I must be misunderstanding your comment because this ability to generalise from even a single example is a hallmark of human intelligence and an especially striking example of its differences to machine learning systems.

That may very well happen a lot faster than you think thanks to Tesla. Certainly manufacturers seem to be in a hurry to announce stuff they can't quite ship yet to make it seem they are not doing nothing.

But I agree volumes need to go up more. We're talking about 1% of overall cars sold. It will take a while for that to get to double digit numbers. Certainly nobody else than Tesla seems ready to produce at any substantial volume. Tesla may double or quadruple their production in the next years and it won't be enough to get there. However, them doing that would be very disruptive to manufacturers trying to currently trying to sell cars at the same price points.
The problems they solved here are vanilla optimization for Redshift. Adding sort/dist keys on tables and pre-aggregating immutable data is stuff you’re going to have to do at some point, throwing more CPU at it can only help so much.
just change the law so the law is allowed to hack his machine specifically in the case of collecting evidence in a case where there is fair reason to suspect. Get your evidence that way. Screen cap, key log.

Oh but no, lets make it EVERYBODY's problem.
I tried it once a couple years ago. First thing I did was 'git status' in a large project.

By that standard, the maximum amount of money you could spend on strippers, and the number of strippers you could enjoy per day, would be $0. But it is common to engage multiple prostitutes for a single job even though you're only able to have sex with one of them.
I would have to go searching for the news articles that trickle out over the months but people are alleging that customers are canceling their orders and the company is trying to dump inventory elsewhere.

It's really hard to quantify this stuff. We only have audited numbers about units built not units sold, currently.
There is a abstract beauty in the implementation of the algorithms especially under the various constraints. I believe these constraints inspire creativity that those mildly practiced in or familiar with these arts can appreciate as an aesthetic or beauty all on their own, separate from and in addition to the audio/visual component.
The low interest rates were a response to low inflation and low growth. If low inflation persists for some reason (e.g. decreasing cost of production due to automation) even as economy grows, then interest rates will not rise much.
AMD doesn't fab their own chips anymore.

I understood that TSMC would be manufacturing the next round of AMD processors, since Global Foundaries didn't have 7nm ready.
Additionally 9 * n = [n-1, 10-n] for n = 2-11; where n-1 is the digit in the 10's place and 10-n in the single place. This just an aesthetic curiosity. I know the pattern continues for larger n I've just never bothered to generalize it. Also never compared it to other bases.

We need to worry more about LEO. Orbits decay automatically, but less and less the higher you go while still within LEO. There are many polar launches which makes debris come potentially from any direction, while in GEO all satellites go in roughly the same direction.
A memorable appreciation of this book appeared here a while ago: "Whenever I read this book again, I am reminded of how much UNIX know-how is probably being lost to new generations that are steered away from learning the foundations that still make up their operating systems. ..."

I currently have an excellent work life balance. It's non-physical office work that I enjoy and allows me to make a savings. The commute isn't crazy. I took a big pay cut to work here.

It took me 7 years to find a job like this and I'm sure someday this well will dry up, but hopefully my tactics will help me find a similar one.
> If those people are less than us, then the normal rules of decency surely don't apply and we should do all we can to win.

I too took a class on the Holocaust, even if it was more broad, looking first at the industrialisation of society which enabled the industrialisation of a genocide: by killing at industrial scale, you don't need many executionners, but you'll need a lot of good paper-pusher making sure that the trains run on time and that the camps are well-supplied in fuel, bullets and gas.

> I try to remember that they are a human and deserve decency

That's a good idea.
There's a nice Haskell library for dealing with combinators, where the types of most functions are intuitive enough to understand what they do: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/data-aviary-0.4.0/docs/Da...

The Y combinator isn't there and can't be defined trivially since Haskell only allows non-recursive data types. However, there's a nice solution using non-monotonic data types[1]:

newtype Mu a = Mu (Mu a -> a)
y f = (\h -> h $ Mu h) (\x -> f . (\(Mu g) -> g) x $ x)

stack overflow questions, and mentions on hn, or other forums/social media would be good indicators too.
Mostly the last, as my second hand knowledge is dated or casual (e.g. from acquaintances at the local library, parents clubs and that kind of thing). I could be completely wrong!
What's curious about that is if this is solely a first world problem, then it should be easy to compare our sperm counts to that of men in 2nd/3rd world countries. The lack of that data in this article is troubling.
Do Australians commonly say "elephant" to count seconds as the presenters do? In the U.S. it's usually "one-thousand" or "Mississippi". (I guess I can imagine that Australians wouldn't say "Mississippi"!)
Bad programmers have no problem getting hired because the broken hiring process in our industry rewards those who know how to do the right song and dance (data structure and algs) independent of how good they actually are. I know, have worked with, and have laid off devs like this.
I think you may be missing something. Google is arguing that the Canadian ruling cannot be applied in the US. They will censor whatever they need to on their canadian assets, but if you connect to a US google server from Canada, they shouldnt be obliged to censor.

I'd like to know the actual footprint of their data. They mention some of their tables have "infinite rows", yet from their screenshots, the largest query is on"link_web_production.exit_link", scanning 3.9 mio rows.
I reject your framing of what the left's response has been. In fact, analyzing the 2016 occupies little of the left's response. We have been tuning policies, and messaging. Did you even notice that we had some primaries recently, in which several well established incumbents lost to challengers with a new message? What more proof could you need that the left is making actual changes instead of excuses? Your "concern" is based on an untrue assumption.

Don't mistake what the media reports for reality, especially not when the media is so polluted with people determined to muddy everything and exacerbate conflict. That's the modern way to distort the political conversation, practiced both by our international adversaries and by the current administration's domestic allies. Modern citizenship requires being alert to it, and resisting rather than magnifying its effects.
I think the underlying problem is that people want a platform for self-promotion (hence buying followers on Instagram), but most subreddits and maybe the site itself prohibit self-promotion. As a result, many people will never be interested (including me; I use it for pictures of cats, but nothing important).
Looks like they're hitting a GitHub rate limit, rather than bottlenecking on CPU.

I'm with you but I think the automatic fear is people in power spend that time writing laws that only they understand how to exploit.

The scope for meaningful oversight diminishes as the law gets more and more technical. Financial regulation is both extremely technical and tightly wound into money (obviously).

I'm honestly not sure how corruption of office laws cover this stuff. It may not be easy to prove that a loophole existed for later exploitation. How would you punish it if (eg) a third party bought that knowledge in good faith and made billions off it?
If the point of the rebranding is to help drive adoption of the individual components of what used to make up VSTS, then it seems to me like the strategy is to try and get people to switch from pre-existing toolsets to Azure tooling.

Maybe it would be more persuasive if you could show some kind of comparison or case study for switching? For instance, if you want to make it easier for people to adopt Azure Boards, then why should they adopt Azure Boards over the myriad other agile planning products out there?

More importantly, if you're trying to make individual services easier to adopt, why is there only unified Azure DevOps pricing and not pricing solely for the individualized products (excepting Azure Pipelines pricing, which is a per-agent pricing model)?
>So you train for many years and acquire knowledge of a particular area and then what? You can't actually make money from the skill you learned?

The problem is the implicit, or perhaps even explicit, promise of lucrative jobs from regulated companies to those writing the regulations. There's an incentive for the regulators to go easy on these companies in order to get a job after they leave their government jobs.
This has somehow turned into your opinion on energy use (yes, it's good that desktop PCs can now decrease their energy use significantly while idle, which was not the case in the 90s).

But you made a claim that "this was never the case", when clearly there was an era of home desktop computing when your desktop could act as a hobbyist server. This era gave rise to BBSes, then MUDs, then Minecraft servers (and many things in between).
There was also genocides and wars. On Reddit today it cites Ghenis Khan's army as killing 40M. Thus if true it was "unfit" to be an enemy of Ghenis Khan in an evolutionary sense.
My comment is by definition not ad hominem. The part of the interview you quoted is low on facts and consists mainly of opinion. I would like to help the non-German audience on Hacker News to be able to classify the positions of the persons involved. That is why I also provided links with sources. Ken Jebsen and Willy Wimmer are part of what we call in Germany the “Querfront”: that literally translates to “cross-front” and in the historical sense is the term used for anti-democratic strategies to combine the opposing ideologies of nationalism and socialism in order to assume political power in the Weimar Republic. Internationally the modern iteration is known as “Third Position”. Today you can find those positions in every political party. They have in common that their positions are anti-American, anti-NATO and pro-Putin. So Mr. Wimmers CDU membership doesn't come in to play.

My translation from the introduction of “Rechte Hetze im Netz - eine unterschätzte Gefahr” by Patrick Gensing: “This heated atmosphere is fired by pro-Russian strategists who propagate a close alliance with Putins Russia. The result is a cross-front that wants to impose an authoritarian-nationalist system.”

Not surprising... the opposite would be the exception, this is pretty much the rule in 2018.
About 1980, there was a "Tank MacNamara" comic strip, in which Tank, the ex-jock sportscaster, goes to a running goods store. The weedy clerk loads him up with training shoes, race shoes, trail shoes, these shorts, those shorts, warmups, etc., and Tank finds himself at the checkout with a pile of stuff and a big bill. His girlfriend says, "And to think the ancient Greeks did it naked." As I recall, Runners World magazine, or maybe it was Running Times, professed that it was not amused by the cartoon.

Both the right to freedom of expression and the right to a private and family life are human rights.

You can't err on the side of both of them, so what do you do? You have to balance them, which is something that the European courts have been doing for a long time now.
So we start out with an attempt to build an anonymous recursive function. That's cool I suppose. But doing it in a language like javascript (or java)? It turns out that tail recursion == stack overflow. Not daunted, the plucky author decides that we can solve this particular issue by creating a closure over stack variables and put them on the heap instead!

You know, if you want to use Haskell, use Haskell. Trying to shoehorn this stuff into languages designed for loops instead of recursion just means impressionable JS developers are going to see this and rush out to implement it in some project to prove how smart they are. Then everyone suffers. The implementation is slower because it goes to heap. The memory usage explodes because it goes to heap.

Purely for illustration of a Y combinator, this is great. But there should be a big red warning somewhere on the page as a reminder of the downsides of this approach.
It's not “the definition of free speech”; the US First Amendment is merely a limited restriction on its governments, whereas ‘free speech’ more generally is a moral & epistemological principle (cf Mill).

> the rise of desertion in the army

AFAIK, there's not a lot of actual desertion, it's more that a lot of soldiers who enlisted after the 2015 attacks have not renewed their contract once their first term was finished, since standing for two in front of a Synagogue was not what they had in mind when they enlisted to "protect their country"
Apparently the Libertarians that think such a revolving door is a "good thing for people's careers", but forget about why those regulations exist in the first place.
