What about methods that have arguments and no side-effects, like a special getter that accesses a value in a Map of Maps? or functions that flush state to I/O while doing other stuff and returning a value?

Why only make a special weird distinction for arg-less methods? And why enable different ways of defining the method that can optionally require you to omit parentheses rather than choose to do it only when you choose to write a function that embodies that convention?

If you want a way to indicate side effects, make it a part of the type system like in Haskell. Such a silly convention is unhelpful and I think fails even at the intended goal because it confuses people thinking it’s not involving the overhead of a function call.
Excellent metaphor! Saved. To my evernote. That I don't pay for.
It has a lot of benefits for China.

But as often China is capable of drawing a plan over 50 years and to execute it over that time frame.

What they are doing is developing and reshaping global trade routes around China.

That's a strategic, long term plan.

And yes, building roads and railways will expand the economy. Let's remember how the US developed the West.
> Good on the VCs who have deep connections to Google, Amazon, SalesForce, SAP, Oracle, Apple, etc. to make some serious money by selling GitLab to them at some point.

All of these companies have their own internal version control, and its highly doubtful that any of them would switch over to a third-party service.
I always find myself being bounced around different pages in your docs to find information about the same topic, and often also have to get bounced to your blog posts. It's hard to know when I've got all the info.

There are so many different places containing parts of the docs about your CI, for example.
In the book The Hidden Persuaders (1957) by Vance Packard he describes research into failing pre-made products that revealed the buyers (homemakers) felt less self-worth if they weren't required to undertake at least some of the preparation. (IIRC cake mixture was the case study.)

There was also a similar response by pharmacists when drugs first appeared on the market requiring no preparation.
Any updates on full, scale-out clustering?

And are there any plans on supporting columnar storage, for very wide tables?
Sure, if you don't have people clamoring to buy you tickets immediately anyway that will provide you that money at no interest, that would make sense. In what way is that system advantageous to the current one, given the other incentives that exist to not raise price (public relations, mostly)? Also, given that I suspect brokers are worse at getting this right, since they don't get to see all the data, and you can make quite a lot from brokers on events that undersell...
This is easy. What are we optimizing for? Crime fighting effectiveness of police officers. Can we measure that? Sure, it's number of convictions per officer-hour of patrol.

You could have pointed out that number of arrests per area is the wrong measure and why. That would have been rational. Instead, you chose to drag identity politics into it. Brilliant.
> But a client entering a couple extra zeroes is not a clean and obvious mistake.

Neither is an oddsmaking posting odds out of line with your perception of thpe likelihood of events—if you are gambling, that's exactly what you are looking for normally.

> If an error is egregious and obvious, it seems reasonable that a company (in this case FanDuel) not honor the deal.

This bet was made over the counter: if there was such an obvious and egregious error, it should have been refused at the counter. Would FanDuel have tested the bet induced by the odds as null and returned the funds if the bettor had lost? If not, why should it get to nullify it when the bettor wins?
I would argue that in the conversational context "collect" is more a synonym for "store" than for "receive" or "see". Moreso in the context of a tracking system. In my opinion anyway.
Because 6 groups in the company shared their notes with you but the free plan only covers 5.
The problem is when all tickets sell out in a couple minutes (at the unrealistic list price), limited only by the IT infrastructure handling the orders. In this case only "professional scalpers" can win the race to be "first". OK, now we're caught up to present day, is there any way we can make this system less silly and have less of the money end up in the hands of middlemen ...
Wow, these photos take me back! I loved playing & making games on the Sorcerer with its character graphics. (Fun fact: my uncle Paul Terrell was the founder of Exidy. He sent us a Sorcerer for Christmas, but it was only partially assembled. My mom assumed he was just dumping a unit that failed QA, but my dad and I managed to get it working.)

Sounds like you blew a capacitor. Just open the case and look for the one that died. You should be able to desolder and replace it without much trouble.
> I thought your argument was disenfranchising voters was immoral and unfair.

I don't think I said anything to that effect -- aside from that the current system is unfair -- but you seem to be arguing against a bit of a straw man here already, so I won't stop you from continuing.

> How so?

How not so? You could easily say (and I imagine you in particular would say): you think taxes should be higher? You should pay more voluntarily right now regardless of what the official rates are.

Your viewpoint neglects to consider that certain changes must occur uniformly, at a structural level in order to be effective.

Under your proposal, if CA adopted it and WY did not, 50 voters in Wyoming for Candidate A would get even more voting power relative to 50 voters in California for the same candidate at the federal level. That you think that is more fair makes it difficult for me to believe you're approaching this discussion in good faith. I also sense you're replaying arguments you've had before and aren't looking to change your mind. So we can probably leave it off here.
Why?

This doesn't really have too much value other than making the code more confusing.
> Ambisonic recording is great, though it does have limitations because you're baking in spatial information in a way that will limit editing later

Thats not true as long as

1. You record with enough near field mics

2. Your spatial resolution is fine enough to fully encompass the person's sound

As long as you do and calculate for both (or choose a hardware platform correctly) then audio processing is a simple modification within that bubble.

The problem is tracking the voice as it moves around the room, and correctly mutating the voice with the correct filters, while avoiding modifying data you don't want. My guess, is there will soon be an echo sound test to triangulate the geometry of the walls. With effective calibration and base audiographs, then much more can be done.

Of course, then its 30 seconds before someone feeds CMU sphinx each voice stream and realtime translates it into text.

I've had this workflow going on for about 4 years once I found out the XBox Kinect had 4 near field mics as well as a ir depth sensor and webcam.

If you want a jumpstart on this, install ROS, install HARK https://wp.hark.jp/faq/ and go to a used game store or pawn shop and buy a old style Kinect for $10. You'll need the USB cable so you might need to go to eBay as well.
When I see ticketmaster selling tickets for an event, I know it's not going to be worth my time, money or effort trying to go.

There are a ton of venues and artists out there. If you're put off by this action, understand that this action is taken by TM, the venue and the artist, and vote with your wallet. Spend your entertainment dollars elsewhere and support artists and venues that are more honest. Find a club that sells tickets with some other company or where you can buy tickets at the door.
I’d be interested in hearing more, but not enough to read an entire book. Can you please elaborate or link to a shorter text, such as a blog post?
Making it possible to find an image in the registry. Can't sort by date. Have to go (slowly) paging through hundreds to find them. No automatic culling. It's a nightmare. And you must surely be accruing many TB of images people don't need anymore.

Funny timing... just installed 1.0 rc1 this week. Dual-writing and experimenting reading from TimescaleDB in prod currently.

So far it's been perfect... besides a small config issue[1] causing a crash that should have been detected when Postgres starts up, TimescaleDB gives me reliability and durability of Postgres without having to manually create partition tables.

What will happen when Postgres supports auto creating partition tables for declarative partitioning[2]? Will TimescaleDB still be necessary?

Feature request 1: when all rows of a chunk/partition table are deleted can that chunk be automatically dropped instead of having to manually run drop_chunks[3]?

Feature request 2: for the getting started docs, add an option to install with https://nixos.org

Pretty chilling that 'private' companies like this are able to set up such operations that could easily sway federal election results without providing any transparency or having many regulations to follow.

Not deadly knife fights, though. We don't want to erase the difference between brutal murder (25 stab wounds) and "a scuffle", do we?
That's not true. In fact, it's a specific misrepresentation of the CoC. Whoever planted that idea, did it in bad faith:

> This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event.

It's very specific. If you're representing the community, and you say something bigoted, then, yeah, that might be brought up. But that should be the case. No project wants its representatives doing stuff that reflects badly on the project or which creates a bad culture in the project community.

Besides, it's also just not a very good idea to post bigoted things, both in terms of making a better society and culture, and in terms of just following the Golden Rule and being nice to other people.
actually mean is at 128ms, which is not really good...

> They have one of the best CI/CD products out on the market right now. git versioned yml/docker based jobs with multiple stages.

CircleCI, Jenkins, Codeship etc. have similar offerings. And Jenkins also has the benefit of a huge plugin ecosystem.
As said elsewhere, I mostly act as a curator of a very large effort of hundreds of individuals. The project was actually co-created by several other people who work on infrastructure at ZEIT (e.g..: Naoyuki Kanezawa led all the initial releases, designed important parts of the framework, Arunoda Susiripala contributed the test harness and key build pipeline infrastructure, and so on).
Right now sales people at GitHub are trying to convert our $200 grandfathered plan into a $2000 one per month at no avail because we can just move over to Gitlab and get same or better service. I’m thankful for Gitlab’s existence and am just watching this unfold popcorn at hand. I bet I can probably cut that $200 bill into a $0 if I asked Gitlab now after their big fundraise.
He's right and it's not just about people with disabilities. If things like master/slave terminology are not allowed, it's time to look for other projects, hobbies, or even lines of work. That is just insane and the people pushing such politically correct bullshit are the ones that need to be pushed out of the community as they are not contributing to software development but instead disrupting the process for their own stupid non-software goals. If we don't push out these extreme political bike shedders, we may find that we will lose many talented software developers who are simply unwilling to put up with such stupidity and insanity.

rare? GCC supports far more architectures than LLVM
it's obviously better for the engineer to demo their own product

Again.. rarely does an engineer create a product in a vacuum. Usually a few disciplines contribute to the project, and a manager can be absolutely instrumental.

And of the various creators of a product should be candidates to demo a thing. The right person certainly depends on the nature of the product, the team dynamics, the audience of the demo, etc.

I for one wouldn't want to work somewhere with some kind of rigid "engineer X owns product Y, manager Z is just a manager" kind of culture.
one can be a tax resident of monaco for 0% tax. or give up the israeli passport for something else. it is easy to acquire new passports.

plus at some point it becomes taxation-without-representation and has to be fought more overtly by bringing to power governments that don't do this kind of shit.

people don't realize that a century ago governments provided security and courts for a blended tax burden of under 10%. all the increase since then was to pay for medical services (mostly really dumb end of life care rather than educating people how to live healthy lives) and social safety net (which i would argue adds much less value to the well-being of the average person than technological progress does).
No, only if you make it public.
Uh there are many reasons. Artists desires are typically mediated through a promoter or a promoter and a venue and the contractual obligations of both. For instance if the only appropriate sized venue is a live nation venue then you're using ticketmaster! if it's one that has an exclusive contract with ticketmaster same thing. You often can't just "get a different venue" because for various sizes of venue there are only so many in a city, even fewer that are correct for your show, and that are available.
Unfortunately, management roles are often inherited, instead of being earned.

Try the CS231n course from Stanford. Assignments, solutions, slides and lectures are available. Proper grad level deep learning course with excellent notes. The assignments are IMO, the best way to get good and in-depth knowledge of deep learning.

For books, Ian Goodfellow's deep learning is the best theory (as theoretical as Deep Learning gets ) oriented book.
I think there's a difference between "hiring only men/women" and "advertising to only men/women". A company could launch a recruitment campaign which is only visible to one gender, but still not discriminate against applicants from the opposite gender. Presumably they have many more ways to list job openings than targeted Facebook ads, so they're not specifically excluding one gender from that job; just from the ad.
Good thing no one was abusing monopoly power to the detriment of consumers, otherwise antitrust regulators might have to get involved.
I was ready to hate on it too, until I learned (in the comments here, NOT the article) that this is a special syntax for doing something like a C var-args function - first a template parameter, then the variable list of values.

The function invoked does NOT simply receive the evaluated string, it gets the template and can decide what to do with it, or not, including how to encode/“escape” insertion values or other such issues.
Yes, want to point this out per website. I have websites where there are no mobiles visits, and some with a lot.
God is the name the educated and smart still give to one possible originator of all this world we live in, it is not important its form and dimensions. With the progress of science and technology, we will be able to replace myth with facts, but the fundamental questions will stay long enough. Big jumps in comprehension or quick annihilation might come from contact with alien civilizations or superior entities so, if a God exists for humans, we better hope it is benign.

I thought spaced repetition was a more powerful technique
Depends on how big their team is and its structure with regard to alerting responsibility. One would expect one of the big credit rating agencies to have a large IT team, but old school corporations view IT as a cost center and like to run skeleton crews (which can flatten out administration hierarchies).
The US developed organically, here it looks a bit more like a forced march. Not saying it cant work, but it looks more like a bet than a plan.

Also, the only "50 year plan" I can think of is Den Xiaopin opening the economy, and it went through because he was still powerful and alive until a few years ago. And it was more like a 30 year plan. Do you know many great long-term successes from them? Because they're more famous for things like the great leap forward.
Weak argument, but I don't want to dignify your anon-cowardice with a response.

PSA: in graph theory, the diameter of a network is the length of the longest shortest-path between any pair of nodes. (i.e., out of all the shortest paths between any pair of nodes, return the longest.)

It’s a natural generalization of its definition for circles because, if you modeled a disk as abitrarily many nodes that connect to their immediate neighbors, the definitions would be equivalent.

Not sure if this is too well known to post.

Ask HN: Have you ever quit in your first week
Hi,

I post anonymous for obvious reason. I'm about to quit the company I just join. Nothing is wrong but I just feel like I won't be a part here and I don't want to wake up every morning. Again nothing is wrong, but it's just my gut feeling.

Have you ever done so?
I don't at the moment, this will be done later for sure.
Is there room for one more?
True. It would be a more accurate post if it listed "having a watch set to the wrong time zone" instead (mentioned in the HRW report).

It is unfortunate that there is a lot of misinformation about China out there. Winnie the Pooh isn't banned. The social credit system apparently isn't like how it's commonly reported in the West. But I also chafe at the suggestion that China is little worse than the US on these points. There are few countries on earth that have more control over their population and shape the way they think than China.

I hear this a lot, and it might just be me, but I'd feel better about a $50 purchase where the $50 dollars all go to the artist/venue, vs a $50 purchase where $30 goes to the artist and $20 purportedly goes to Ticketmaster.

I really enjoyed this stuff at university. I work with very high level tools these days, informing business decision makers, and I don't regret the move up the value stack.

In fact I have found that being a competent developer at low levels (embedded systems, operating systems) has helped solve some incredibly subtle issues with high-level tools in my career.

In America this attitude (of seeing successful drug lords as talented entrepreneurs) has a long history, going back to early English colonization efforts. The English "settlers" in what is now Virginia were aspirational freebooters, hoping to follow in the footsteps of Cortez. When that failed hard, they eventually became what we would now call 'drug lords', with tobacco as their product of choice.
As a high-functioning, doggedly independent diagnosed autist: thanks a ton for your efforts. My parents did the best they could, and I'm uncomfortably aware of how much effort it must have taken at times to deal with my particulars. They never quite knew what they were dealing with, but they gave me unconditional love and support, and ultimately that's what mattered most, even if they failed at understanding my particular needs/quirks. I'm sure I gave them a hard time much of the time.

Other than that I'd suggest looking into health care in other western nations. I'm being vague because I don't know your particulars, but so far I've been quite impressed by the support provided in Europe for people on the spectrum. It's not ideal, but it's affordable and the quality seems alright so far.

If there's nothing in particular keeping you in one place, and if you can find work elsewhere, it could be worth exploring expat life if you have one or more autistic children. And it could be great for yourself too.
