using Ai and machine learning i have been a able to predict where people should buy and sell bitcoin on bitmex its in beta and so far been working well for some people
It breaks encapsulation, leaks styles, you have to fight specificity and it makes it hard to change markup and many more.
The only way those decisions make sense to me is if you're purposely trying to kill a business while maintaining plausible deniability to pick it apart and leave the minority shareholders with nothing.

No, they’ll just move on to attacking people about other products where the assumptions of safety or efficacy have not yet been debunked. Thanks for the good laugh though.
its little-stated due to the massive fiscal and political implications but there's a belief among some of the better investment professionals out there that the past decade of 1) low baseline interest rates 2) large run up in stock multiples, 3) proliferation of index funds ... will depress long-run stock total returns into the 4-6% range for many decades.
I would certainly be ok with an 1800 sqft house if it was the right house. For me, 2200 is probably pushing the upper limits of what I would like, but you know sometimes you just have to compromise.

The layout of the 1500 was amazing. It was a story and a half, 3 main floor bedrooms, with the upper story usable as anything, including another bedroom if desired. The main floor bedrooms are small, but we tend to spend as little time as possible in them. No TVs. No computers. No school work. Not much play, unless wanting to be alone. Edit: One of the main floor bedrooms was super small, like only really a nursery/baby room, though still fine for a little kid.

The kitchen was small but super usable.

The living room was nice sized, long and narrow, like 25' x 10' if I recall. That meant you could kind of have separate spaces there, separated by furniture.

I even had a 12'x14' main floor office that was all my own space, while my wife went to school and then worked all out of the house, so it was never crowded.

The kicker was a fully finished basement bathroom with a shower (no bathtub). It was only about 3'x8', so hardly increasing sqft total, but the convenience of it was worth hundreds of sqft. The rest of the basement was unfinished, but we used it for some crafts, workshop, storage, etc.

My wife's parents' house is even smaller, like sub-1400 sqft, and they raised 2 kids from birth to college. Like us, they have a finished 3/4 bath (toilet/shower) in the basement.

I sincerely believe that the key to having a nice, smaller house might be having a finished, nice bathroom in the basement, even if the rest of the basement isn't finished.

I grew up in a smallish house, about 1300-1400 sqft that my parents doubled in size when I was a young teenager, like 14 or 15. So I was used to the smaller sized houses of the early-mid 20th century. They felt perfect to me, and still do I guess.
I had a nightmarish time last year buying a complete set of 12 point craftsman sockets from sears online.

The first lot arrived at the store in a brown cardboard box from china and about half the sockets were missing. Returned it, complained, ordered another set, same issue.

Their customer service was shocking throughout.

I'd recommend buying an old set of Craftsman on Craigslist - or if you're lucky and find snap-on or Mac at a good price grab them. Otherwise I hate to write it but Harborfreight tools are mostly pretty much on par with Craftsman these days...

Totally agree. Also, can you imagine the response by both the local armed residence + local law enforcement would be today if a group of foreigners took over a town and armed themselves? Total Bloodbath.
Love his write-ups. Shame the people who don't want to hear his message can just say "fake news" and carry on... :(
No, because you're never going to do that, and in trying, you're probably going to cause yourself to send out more insults to others. You're also going to normalize a culture of calling everyone a "stupid pile of sheet" or worse when something goes wrong, which leads to a pretty unwelcoming and hostile atmosphere.
Are you using a VPN or sharing an IP with something that might be making wget requests or similar to Google APIs?

Whenever I channeled my traffic through my own VPN (Digital Ocean), I would get the "Are you a robot?" screen very often (at least hourly).
I always thought it was odd that we standardized shipping containers and pallets, but not truck trailers.

Shipping containers and pallets have owners, but nobody minds leaving them behind at the point of delivery because they are interchangeable and they circulate around.

If truckers could pull up to a loading dock, unhook the trailer and leave it behind, and drive away with an empty trailer, that would be pretty cool.
I work from home 3 days a week, I use it for that. I'm on a lot of conference calls and need my own space with a desk and a door that closes. I also have a couch I can sit / lay on if I want to during the day, and a tv. Sometimes in the winter we watch tv in the office because it is warmer upstairs. I also use the office to store personal possessions like hobby stuff and work related plaques etc that would be taking up space somewhere else. House is 1500 sq ft and there are 2 people and 3 dogs.
In the "dongle" incident, both the men who made the jokes and the woman who tweeted about it were fired. People in the community seem to think it was badly handled all around. Someone on HN recently mentioned that the jokers found new jobs right away but the tweeter didn't.

If "Opalgate" means the attempt to remove Elia Schito, it failed.

If "Drupalgate" means the removal of Larry Garfield, he insisted on bringing elements of his fetish subculture into technical events.

Brendan Eich remained CTO of Mozilla even after his material support for discrimination became widely known. People opposed his promotion to CEO because his actions cast doubt on his ability to represent Mozilla's values and to look out for the interests of LGBT employees. He chose not to distance himself from his past decisions and eventually to resign. According to Mozilla, he declined to stay in another C-level role. He's currently the CEO of another company in the same market.
American suburbian standards are so utterly ridiculous, and apparently getting even more ridiculous. When I was a kid our family (parents+three children) lived in a 100m^2 apartment and it was plenty. I mean, you do have families living in cities too? No way to have close to 50m^2 per person there without being a millionaire! Such a ridiculous number cannot be anything else than marketing speak.
Companies often fail to pivot if they don’t have the founders still involved.

Few outside leaders have the credibility to risk seismic changes to a business model for an established company.

It happens, but it’s a lot less common.

I agree that we should approach questions like this with some kind of epistemic modesty.

At the same time, if you look at Sears's peers, most of them are still alive and kicking, if not thriving. E.g. Target, Wal-Mart, Macy's, Kohl's, JC Penney, Best Buy etc.

Do you have examples of the errors? I’d love to try and figure out the issue.

Yeah, sorry about that. The initial book plan had a chapter on embedded programming but it had to be cut because I exceeded the page count.

I made a promise that I would write an article about it as a replacement and I still intend to do that. It takes time of course and I personally don't have as much embedded programming experience as I would like right now, so it'll take me even more time. But it will happen :)

As far as plans for more support from Nim itself I don't think there are any specific plans right now. If you've got time and this is your passion then please consider starting contributing to Nim :)
The author of this page has made critical errors in either interpreting or creating many of the graphs on the page.

> Another housing trend that popped up in 2014 was the rise in homes with four or more bedrooms.

If you actually look at the graph, the rise in 4+ bedrooms had been going since 1985. In 2014 it just became the most popular.

> Demand for fireplaces has been cooling since the ’90s with 2007 being the first year that more homes were built without the feature than with.

Actually, that would be 2010. The "None" point is plotted higher than the "1" point in 2007 but still definitely below the 50% mark.

> The average square feet of floor area in a newly completed single-family home was down 2 percent or 56 square feet in 2017 from the high mark.

The graph above has percentages in the y-axis rather than square feet...no idea what happened there. Plus, it is somewhat misleading! In the real data chart [0, page 9], the median square footage actually increased in 2017, while the average did decrease. Additionally, this difference appears to be within the relative standard error window.

I don’t think so, and we build JS for enterprise and we were previously/are somewhat a mainly C# house.

Typescript has some advantages that are appealing to people coming from Java/c#, and it integrates sort of well into a codebase that’s a mix of JS and typescript. So you don’t really lose that much from using it. We found it relatively burdensome compared to plain JS, simply put, it made us less productive. You fix some of JSs problems, mainly typesafety, but the trade off is that you’ll need to keep updated on both typescript and JS as well as getting a more complicated approach to prototypes and testing that isn’t as smooth (at least not for us, and that may be us not typescript but it’s still something you have to account for).

If we were doing angular on the front end we might do typescript, but I honestly think we would’ve picked angularDart and flutter instead of typescript.

I don’t think you go wrong either way though, typescript has just been unnecessary for us.

I liked "One Strange Rock" by Darren Arronofsky.

It's a couple of astronauts talking (mostly) about space and life and physics. It has crazy beautiful visuals
That does make a lot more sense!
Glad to see that adding properties to functions will be easier now. I've been tripped up by that a few times before, and was always surprised at how painful it was to type such a relative common JS pattern.
Insulting people based on the work they produce is abuse.
In other words, improperly used cascading is bad? (didn't downvote you FWIW)
I don't think that's the point. Kids don't necessarily know what they'll like until they try it, that's sort of the whole point of being a kid.
Yea that's definitely fair. It's also a movable "bar", as even in my example I mentioned within reason, because I wanted to hire by passion, but they needed some pre-existing skills. So it's all relative
One could walk into nearly any Barnes and Noble and see that that is far from the case.
I can't remember the last time I watched anything on CBS, and I wouldn't have paid even if I wanted to see the new show. I watched the first episode and it was dreck, one of the stupidest things I'd ever seen.

However, Netflix has the other Star Trek shows, and those are still good (well, mostly), so I will continue to enjoy them.
There's an entire, and fascinating, book on psychosomatic illnesses that goes into this topic called It's All in Your Head by Suzanne O'Sullivan, an Irish neurologist.

Most people seem to write off psychosomatic illnesses as they don't fit into their models of how the world should work, but their existence and ways to resolve them are well documented and doctors frequently find psychological or neurological ways to resolve or alleviate them (e.g. prescribing antidepressants to chronic pain sufferers).

The book also goes into how cancer can, in some circumstances, be hugely affected by the mental outlook of the patient, but for some reason this continues to be controversial in a way that 'dying of a broken heart' is not.
Compact is even closer. But still, that left column and the Compose button hurt my eyes.

No. I always had a purpose to program more than the client needing it. I have always worked on products, and was always allowed to explore my creativity, so that might also be a reason. Programming was always "goal oriented" for me - either having to simulate an engine for my BE project, or creating components for our products to differentiate from our competitors, thus maximizing hikes which allowed me to pursue other interests, or lately, starting my own company. So, while I have experienced several minor burnouts, which lasted many weeks to a few months, I have never had any regrets. I hope to gracefully transition to pursuing other interests in a few years, and I will fondly remember this programming phase.

Based on that experience, my guess is that those who regret are usually those who just go through the motions. They most likely don't have side projects, or ideas to pursue, and the monotone of programming gets to them. Lets face it, our industry is all about repackaging the same old solutions, but for different clients, and that's quite boring. I like to imagine that engineers in other fields do a lot more than what programmers do, which makes things different even when repackaging solutions, but I could be wrong. In Indian context, there are many people I know, ranging from senior engineer or VP, working in multi national companies, with very good salaries, but are quite disenchanted with their jobs because they are nothing more than glorified bricklayers working in India while the architects send out instructions sitting in USA or Europe.
Cool! What are they?

I am excited about this announcement, and look forward to a registar who takes security seriously.

> But why should registrars charge any markup over what the TLDs charge? That seemed as nutty to us as certificate authorities charging to run a bit of math. When we see a broken market on the Internet we like to do something about it.

That is not a broken market, it's actually free-market economics and business. Charging a markup for a service litterally is how many companies operate. I don't have a problem with it, and because it's a free market it allows CloudFlare to disrupt it.
I've been in this industry for 23 years. A LOT has changed...but I expect I'll be in in for 20-25 more, so I occasionally freak out about how much I know that will be as irrelevant as what I learned in '95 was. (A lot carries over, but...so much doesn't).

Back then we had only physical servers (as a practical concern), Linux was considered risky to rely on, there was no social media, and everything on the web was expressed in highway metaphors and spoken of in capital letters ("The World Wide Web"). "Digital" was considered a fancy word, and to the average geek high speed access meant ISDN, while the average person was just starting to be able to imitate a 14400 baud modem connection sound. Wireless wasn't a thing (draft standard I think) and usenet was actually usable.
Ethics do not matter vs profit, so long as the elected representatives can be properly paid off and the public lied to that regulation is always bad.

Wow something I can contribute to!

In my early 20's, my obsession was eastern spirituality. I was especially drawn towards taoism and read several books on it. In one of the books (written by a Westerner) there was entire chapters dedicated to breathing exercises. Taoists believe the spirit and the body meet at your breath because it is simultaneously a voluntary and involuntary process.

Focus on your breathing now, you can control it. But just a minute ago, your body was doing it for you with no input from you.
I wanna chime and say, it's not that huge...

I just bought my first home, and I live alone. It's a single story home, with a basement, built in 1959. The upstairs is about 1000 sq/ft, while the basement is only about 200 sq/ft making it strictly a laundry area.

Having now lived in the house for about 3 months, I can say that it's more than comfortable for me, and is easily managed in terms of cleaning. It's definitely not a huge place, and when I have friends over for dinner and there's more than 5 of us, it can feel quite cramped.

I guess if you live in Brooklyn in one of those 300sqft places, it would feel huge...

Indeed. They even specifically named Nim in their FAQ[1]:

> Why don't you include language X?

> Because I know it will take more time than I choose. Been there; done that.

> Measurements of "proggit popular" programming language implementations like Crystal and Nim and Julia will quickly attract attention and be the basis of yet another successful website (unlike more Fortran or Ada or Pascal or Lisp).

'Chasing Ice'! It's about a photographer (James Balog) who set up cameras in parts of Greenland, Iceland and Alaska to take time lapses of glaciers over the course of a couple of years. The images (and the difference that a couple of years makes) is astounding -- it truly is the most stunning visualization of global warming/climate change that I have ever seen.

And it's on Netflix.
The problem is too many people consider that not a choice but just an little annoyance.

Pretty sure the whole point of this article is that often enough patients arrive in the emergency room at a point where it's NOT too late to treat successfully with antibiotics.
There is also the situation of a truck breaking down and needing repairs, which can happen relatively frequently, given the amount of miles it runs daily.
Separately, how would a truck handle running out of gas if it spends too much time stuck in slow-moving traffic? I guess they would need electric human-operated charging stations for autonomous trucks?
This is another thing I would do in any future house: build a sunroom if it didn't already have one.

Our current and previous house have them, and the first house that I love did not. That house with a sunroom would have been amazing.

Sunrooms are probably my favorite part of a house now.
If your interview involves you asking different questions to people based on their age, you are treading dangerous ground, for dubious gain.

Why not go with something safe - like asking people to implement fizzbuzz and merge-sort on a whiteboard, or something else that has nothing to do with their age, gender, or ethnic background?
I think the first couple rounds of autonomous trucking will be to basically eliminate long haul trucking and a transition to a model where humans drive the last 50-100 miles from a hub to the customer where most of that knowledge is most needed.

I'm not aware of that. In any case they still work fine in React v16.
As a React developer who hasn't used TypeScript yet, I think of PropTypes as a pretty weak alternative to proper static types.

1. You have to manually keep the PropTypes in sync with the type of props actually being passed to the function. But nothing makes you do that, and it's pretty easy to neglect them - your editor's not going to complain (at least, WebStorm doesn't) so the first you'll see of a mismatch is if you happen to get an error (not really an error, it doesn't stop your code from running) in the browser or in your tests.

2. They don't actually enforce anything. Sure, React will complain about a prop type mismatch when you call the function, but your code will still run, and then it's up to you to figure out whether the PropType definition is wrong, or whether the prop itself is wrong. Maybe only one usage of the component is passing in the wrong prop type, maybe only under a specific set of conditions, and it's easy enough to miss that in tests (your test data matches the PropType, but your actual API data that ends up being a prop doesn't match the PropType - eg your PropType is a number but the API returns a string and you didn't convert it to a number, now you have a error-warning in production. That's your fault, sure, but you get no help with it from the tooling).

3. They're not very expressive. eg I can't define the shape of an object being passed into my component, I can only tell React that it's some object.

4. PropTypes only work at the boundaries of components. What about my functions inside the components? Or my helper functions that aren't part of a component at all? PropTypes do nothing to help me be sure I'm passing the right data to those.
I've always looked at Dewalt if I wanted something nice, but I usually buy the cheap Ryobi tool and only think about replacing it if it's not meeting my needs. Easy to spend more than you need to on tools as a home owner.
