I live in a small town outside of Phoenix, AZ. I really like where I live. We have a cool small town feel, but only a 20 min drive to big city amenities. Other than 120deg summers (which I much prefer over snow), its pretty awesome. Sounds like you should relocate :)
If only there would be a standard way of doing GUIs in HTML, but if you give the same GUI to be implemented to 10 Web developers you will get really different code, some would write it in HTML and CSS, other would maybe use angular, others would use react or similar, or if the project uses other backend language/frakework you will get different results depending on what PHP,Ruby,.NET,Java framework was used.

In Qt you use the Designer, you need to learn about the layout system if you want to do good UIs, but your GUI is saved in a file and then the c++/python code implements the event handlers and app logic.

> That's why I moved to Hawaii and never looked back. Working remotely is a lot of fun, and is just healthier, both environment-wise and mentally.

I work from Hawaii remotely too. Downsides to here are entertainment and food. Flying back to LA periodically is helpful for that.
I believe it. Free will is an illusion, humans are just biological automatons, along with every other animal. Thinking you have free will doesn't change whether or not you actually have free will. Just as someone believing they are intelligent doesn't make them intelligent.
Ask HN: Web automation testing DSL interest?
I'd like to create a simple language for use in web automation testing. The language would be component of a commercial service and I'm examining the business viability of such a service.

TL;DR version:
Would you benefit from a domain-specific language (DSL) that let you easily describe the interactions with a web site necessary to verify a given piece of functionality?

Code-up automation tests without needing to know how to code. More maintainable than using a visual recorder.

Longer version:
Two current, common options for automation testing:

1) Use a WebDriver implementation in the language of your choice and code up your browser-based automation tests. Requires developer-level skilled people. Hard to learn, can be hard to maintain if not coming from a programming background.

2) Use a visual tool to record your interaction with a web site. Your interaction is translated into code similar in functionality to the above. Can be painful to maintain. Can be painful to record long, similar scenarios.

Proposed third option: a simple DSL for coding up your automation tests.

The DSL would be easy to write and easy to understand for the those not at a programmer-level of technical literacy. Think business analysts, product owners.

The DSL would be transpiled to code that utilises a WebDriver implementation to be executed. The user does not need to be aware of, or understand, the transpiled code.

Pros/cons of proposed DSL:
Pro: Relatively easy, anyone with an understanding of web page elements can do it
Pro: Factor out units of testing code, integrate modules together to represent user scenarios
Pro: Easier to learn than fully coding your own tests
Pro: (Can be) easier to maintain than using only a visual recorder
Con: Never as in-depth as writing your own code directly
Con: Not as easy as visual recorder

Thoughts?
One of my favorite musicians (Rhys Fulber, mostly due to Conjure One and Delerium for me) started releasing music on Bandcamp. Admittedly, the new cd really isn't my cup of tea, but I bought it from there anyway. Can't remember what the minimum price was, but I bumped it up to $20 US (think it was calculating in euros, iirc. I do remember having to use a currency converter on another site to pick the amount when buying it).

I really prefer that model, if we're being honest. I like bands, but not a huge fan of labels (and unfortunately, whereas they were helpful for discovery before, they really aren't anymore). Would rather my money go to them with a smaller cut to platforms hosting it.
I should invest in an arbitration-as-a-service startup.
Large companies donating large sums of money non-anonymously seems to circumvent the 'we're neutral because we don't have sponsors' credo.

Another 5-4 decision. The Roberts court is transforming the US into something unrecognizable.
What the article is saying is, If you are young and have no family, you can rent a room really cheaply say 1400$ for a 1 bedroom, or bunk up with a mate for 700$ (2 people renting 1 room), and save most of your income for about 10 years - durring that time you can save about 500K. Then after that, get out and go anywhere but CA. In the rest of the US, you can buy a house for 300K and have a nice life.

The trick is, to not settle down. Don't get a wife or girlfriend or friends. If you that, you'll be able to walk away from it all very easily.

There would be no consumer confusion nor is this done for commerce. I think he's pretty safe as far as trademark goes.
My wife and some friends visited NYC recently. My wife was the only one that liked the city, albeit only to a degree.

I definitely think NYC is a great place to visit, but I could never see myself living there.

I love the public transport system but hate so many other aspects of life there.
Qt qualifies on any platform, imo.
Satirical software would be a cool new trend in Open Source.

I think about things like a library for leader election, where there is a "Russian hacker" service that manipulates the election result or maybe a logging framework that accumulates logs and occassionally emails them to journalists.
Not if the contract also includes an endless non-compete clause preventing you from ever finding another job.
Yes, it is hard to get divorced if you don't get married in the first place(or, later in life). I'm curious whether the age-controlled divorce rate is higher or lower for millenials.
TX property taxes are crazy high to offset no income tax, so the income tax is a trade off.

> This philosophical line of thinking is without much basis.

It has exactly as much basis as the alternatives, explains the world just as well, gives the exact same predictions, but needs less assumptions.

BTW - why is lack of free will a downer? I perceive is as neutral.
>It doesn't matter how fast you are going, it matters how fast the other guy is going! The crash safety of modern cars is not an accident. It takes a lot of money to do the engineering, buy the proper materials, and put it together correctly.

I think the safety complaint is irrelevant when the alternative is a bike or moped.

It does also very much matter how fast you're going because a huge fraction of crashes only involve one vehicle.
Not when time is considered, in my view. Reference back to the football example. You can watch a replay of a football game where the outcome is already decided because you're literally in the future. But it wasn't decided before the game was played. So from God's perspective, yes the game has already been played and the ending is known.

I hope I'm not insulting you, none is intended, but it seems to me that most theories that attempt to remove God and/or free will from reality are a thin veneer over a desire to be without responsibility. The only thing I have to add that I think we both agree on is that truth is indeed concrete, and what we choose (or sadly, think we are coerced) to believe has no bearing on it.

Minecraft Story Mode was presumably their next best selling after The Walking Dead of recent output, presumably because it could appeal to a broader and younger audience.

Though that still isn't saying much looking at the Steam chart presented in the post. Though Minecraft Story Mode sales is also presumably under-reported in Steam numbers as you would expect more console owners among families with kids than PC players.
I contemplated building my own machine for deep learning. I'm a geek so I do like building hardware. But I couldn't even justify spending $2k on a deep learning machine.

Paperspace has eliminated my desire to build a deep learning computer thanks to their insanely low prices.

Current prices are around $0.78 per hour for a Nvidia Quadro P5000, that's pretty comparable to a 1080 TI.

On top of that you can even run Gradient notebooks (on demand) without even setting up a server. This is the future when bandwidth costs are minimal: thin clients, powerful servers.

At the end of the day, I wanted to spend more time tuning the ML pipeline rather than fussing with drivers, OS dependencies, etc

Sure there's lots of things that Paperspace could do better, but their existing product is already leaps and bounds better than GCloud or AWS. AWS and GCloud wins through big contracts with large businesses and I'm just a little guy.

Disclosure: I do not work for Paperspace and am not paid to endorse them in any way. I love their product.

Minneapolis:

The weather. We get everything from -30 degree weather and raging snowstorms in the winter to unbearably humid 100+ degree weather in the summer.

Apart from that I don't have any serious complaints. And even though I complain about the weather it probably helps keep the cost of living down. Especially once you get to the suburbs (or even the outskirts of Minneapolis proper) housing is shockingly affordable for an urban area on the scale of the Twin Cities.
Socialism is not a single thing. And "socialist" does not always mean someone advocating government ownership as it did historically.

In fact, in the western Europe social democrats were in the 60-70's the mortal enemies of the Marxists and communists. They competed for the same crowd but others were more moderate and democratic. Nordic model was basically the result of social democrats getting almost all what they wanted.

Socialism today can be as mild as mixed economy, social interventions to promote social justice in market economy, private ownership with unions and soke worker representation. (btw. Unions in Europe work completely differently form how they work in US)

Hypothesis: other countries, when comparing their own startups to America's startup scene, have no idea how many American startups break a lot of laws at the beginning. It's not just Uber; Youtube had a lot of copyrighted content, many ecommerce sites sold into markets without the right export/import licenses, privacy laws were/are widely flouted at first, hate-speech laws are widely disregarded at first, etc. European startups tend to think (perhaps correctly) that they have to be more or less legal from the get-go, American startups tend to think (perhaps correctly) that they won't get much attention until/unless they get big, and they can worry about being legal later.

Just an hypothesis, I don't know if it's true. But if it is true, it might be hard for European leaders to see, because they probably aren't aware of how often American startups break the law at first.

I wish all the effort to make Qt available in Python was going in to exposing a C API. I of course know this is difficult due to Qt relying on OO extensibility in many cases and I am aware of many efforts in many languages that just use the C++ API directly by essentially building their own C API layer.

That I have to choose between C++ or Python makes it very difficult for many use cases in other languages. What essentially ends up happening is you create the UI in C++ then build a communication/bridge layer with your Go/Rust/JVM/etc app via C and the respective language's FFI features.
I'd imagine there's an entire secondary market of arbitrators. The real juice would be in some sort of ranking system for them, like a reverse-glassdoor.
I like how the mother is holding the child while driving around the 1 min mark of the video. That being said, how is the charging infrastructure in China (In the Shan Dong area)? I know the more populated area is more apartment style than house style.

Edit: Interesting to see the car in the rest of video. I like how it uses 10 Lead Acid Batteries for the power bank.Though is concerning since it looks like an aluminum box with wheels with no safety. The extremely short bumper zone is so concerning (and no air bags). But at least its affordable enough for people to buy.

That was my first thought too. Divorce is predicated on getting married to begin with.

I wonder if it was possible to track people who cohabit for a certain number of years and then separate, if the numbers would line up more closely with the boomer divorce rate.
If you don't have kids, and don't plan to, the Bay Area could be a fun ride. And if it turns out not to be, well, you can just lick your wounds and leave.

If you have kids, or think you might, you're doing them a grave disservice by moving to the Bay Area, given the alternatives currently available in America.
A good friend of mine is getting divorced soon as well.

Another old friend recently divorced.

My current relationship has outlasted almost everyone I know. We're not married. I have no explanation for any of it.
I wonder how much cost plays in, I mean, my fiancée and I are adult middle class millennials and we’ve been saving for two years to have a wedding, and we’re planning a relatively cheap one.
Hi -- Sharing an Astronaut experience map I created using available data about Blue Origin's spaceflight program.

I welcome your feedback. The astronaut experience is a area that doesn't get as much attention in the industry (tech is the priority right now). I'd also love to collaborate with space companies out there who are interested in building out human experiences in outer space, so if you know folks who are interested, please say hi. Thanks :)

Can you provide evidence for that position? The law itself clearly mentions interstate transactions and includes directions to "any court of the United States". I also can't find a Supreme Court case matching your description.

"CHAP. 218.-An Act To make valid and enforceable written provisions or agreements for arbitration of disputes arising out of contracts, maritime transactions, or commerce among the States or Territories or with foreign nations."
And?

That concern is weighed against other considerations, including whether or not to allow society to coerce individuals into degrading situations.

Law -- like any other human construction -- is about trade-offs.
I've been reading about those claims for well over a decade now.

Not one of them has ever explained where he could have come up with ~$200 billion (or the old numbers, which were more like $40b to $50b) from. There is no entity inside of Russia capable of spitting off that kind of hidden side profit - just for him - in the time frame in question. Their entire economy is a mere $1.5 trillion. If you figure most of the graft occured in the last 13 to 15 years, where was he siphoning $12+ billion per year from? Again, there are no entities in Russia capable of subtly delivering that sort of cash.

If he owned 100% of Rosneft (or Lukoil) and Gazprom, he'd still be worth closer to ~$100b-$120b than $200b. Needless to say, he doesn't own those two. He'd have had to be taking a very large share of the annual total industrial profit of Russia, to squirrel away these sorts of numbers over time.

The notion that Putin is secretly the richest person (they keep increasing the mythical sum over time to stay ahead of Gates etc), is nothing more than empty bravado that Russia likes to encourage to artificially prop up the projection of power that Putin relies upon to govern.
SoundHound is much better and I'm glad they didn't acquire it.
From personal experience I'd say services like Patreon/Kickstarter has made it easier to scratch a living as a Creative than ever before. There's 7.4 billion people on the planet. Make a fraction of 0.000001% enamored with your Creative product (be it yourself as an entertainer, your book series, your erotic app game, whatever), and you can hold your own.

Fair use actually makes a distinction between satire and parody: satire isn't protected. https://apps.americanbar.org/litigation/committees/intellect...

Technically, parody is using X's IP to comment on X; satire is using X's IP to comment on something else. So if this is parody, it would plausibly fall under America's fair use test.
It isn't just the cost of testing. The barrier to entry, no matter how modest, is not what increases the price so much. It's the pricing power acquired from the lack of competition, as the barrier prevents new entrants.

If three brands of GPS mapping device dominate the consumer market, but only one of them bothers to certify for aircraft, the exact same hardware in an aircraft dash-mount will cost many times the amount for a consumer handheld. Costs only determine prices for commodity suppliers. Everyone else charges what the market will bear.

How can you tell Microsoft Marketing engine is starting a campaign? Just look at HN and you see all sorts of Microsoft posts from thought leaders they pay and recruit.

Examples:
https://viu.ch/blog/2018/use-ai-to-keep-mice-out-of-the-hous...

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-and-azul-sy...

thankfully they don't pay their marketing teams enough to really care - all they want is to hit the metric checkbox since Microsofts fiscal first quarter is now. They start strong and blow it early so they can chill later.

Nothing against them, just tired of seeing the same lame posts over and over by marketing teams. HN is not the place for it since the intention is to "pose" as original posts but its actually advertising.

Since it is effectively advertising HN should be paid - No?

I am interested to hear from the HN community - post author sorry I have no interest to hear from you since the typical response is some sort of claim/defense that its not advertising and something else etc.etc...
Happy to see Panasonic competing with Sony in the full frame space, and glad to see they realize m4/3ds isn't really competing with full frame 90% of the time.

Ergonomically speaking my m4/3ds camera is just too convenient for traveling and hiking and such to ever seriously consider a full frame option solely because of lens size differences: small lenses that perform pretty decently are the bee's knees, especially if you're lucky enough to have one of the models with a huge and decent viewfinder. Not interesting if massively increasing the size and weight I'd be carrying for full frame images.
Have you ever really thought about the feed you get from Twitter? It's a jumbled mess of insight, humor, flaming and trolling. The context switching required to jump from comedians to programmers to politicians to pundits is EXHAUSTING.

The thing that Twitter most needs is some way to find and sort by topic or category. And I haven't been able to find any resource to help me find accounts like the ones I most enjoy. You'd think, with all this machine learning that's supposedly going on, someone would find a way to lead me to the people I would enjoy reading, based on some "seed" accounts.

I'm on about my 12th account, and I barely pay any attention to it, because it's just too much work to put what I'm reading into context, and then switch it 72 times to catch up my feed. And I follow less than 200 accounts! God help the poor souls who have thousands of follows.

I say all that to ask: Do you know any way to find accounts with high signal-to-noise ratios that might align with other, known accounts? If Twitter wants more "engagement," THEY ought to be the ones offering tools like this.
