I wonder, how much research is there these days that doesn't get at least some money from a government agency? As a casual observer it certainly seems like the government throws so much money around that they have long since crowded out most of the private funding. Having funds going to pretty much every research lab in the country conveniently lets the feds take credit for pretty much everything with no way to refute it because no one knows what the research community would be like today without federal money.

> i continue to not understand why anybody likes python the language

Here are some reasons why I like it:

It's cleaner to read because there aren't curly braces and semicolons cluttering up the code.

It's cleaner to write because the expressions are simpler and look like something readable instead of line noise.

It has a REPL, so it's easy to experiment.

It doesn't force me to write boilerplate code, such as types for every variable declaration or everything having to be a class or huge amounts of scaffolding just to write "Hello, world!".

I'm sure I could think of more, but those are what come to mind on the spur of the moment.
What would be the argument in his defense?
Applicants in general I feel are always to be on a disadvantage because most companies leave the hiring to the HR Department, who have very little clue on what they need to actually be looking. Most of the time, they would have a checklist, where if the person does not meet enough of their threshold, that person is immediately passed off for the next applicant.

Add the process that some folks do to screen candidates - lots of times, these are not objective in nature and tend to skew towards most applicants who seem to have a very impressive profile made up of fancy words and half truths.

Blockbuster did pivot though. They went out of business before streaming took off, but they had their own mail order DVD service, and it was pretty damn good. Being able to drop off in store to get the next set of discs shipped out immediately was a killer feature, when it worked! Often times I'd drop discs off but they'd show up as "unreturned" for a few days, basically putting their service on bar with Netflix's mail order business.

Being able to get the DVD extras, and director's cut editions of movies, as a huge advantage of physical discs. And of course the huge, one stop, selection. I currently have 2 VOD subscriptions and often still have to pay extra for quality movie rentals.

Can you give a link? I'd be interested to read it.
I was very much impressed by this documentary on many different levels. The time I watched it fell right into the time when lots of refugees seeked shelter in Germany and when Trump agitated about Mexican migrants.

Because this film is also about xenophobia - but fascinatingly the targets of this sentiment aren't Arabs or Mexicans but Americans! That shows how detached society even within one country became detached from itself.

I think that's just ambiguous wording. Try parsing it like this:

>4. Everyone on your team understands lambda expressions and you've all agreed to use them

This only might be valid if people on the team weren't programmers, but rather researchers that had to use python. In that case, the code would have to be very easy to understand. But in that case, they should probably learn what a lambda function is. It's really not that hard
It is, and that's the point. The Python community coined TOOWTDI (there's only one way to do it) in response to Perl's "There's more than one way to do it". What that way is seems to be "what even the most clueless programmer could reasonably understand". This to the point where even the adoption of a concept as common as assignment expressions was met with a community shitstorm.

It seems like a language designed for people who really have no interest in craft of programming, and just use it as a means to an end (note I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this, but if your career is in programming, and you keep that attitude, I'd suggest you find another one or move to management, you're not gonna be happy).
I don't think it is.

All Elon had to do was keep his head down and not pick twitter fights....

EDIT one thing I should point out is that some people have questioned if the tweet had any adverse affect at all on the shorts, given that the stock is down now.

The answer is hell yes and the fact that the stock ash gone down since the tweet only strengthens the shorts case.

The reason is that when you are short the biggest issue you have is that the stock could go against you, in this case that means it could go up. So to guard against that you generally have a price level in which you would exit the trade.

So when Elon tweeted, a whole whack of shorts got stopped out, intentional or by their risk limits. Infact there is a lawsuit already filed by Citron due to this. That momentary bump, while short lived was more than enough to close out some short positions.

If he's found to be in the wrong here by the SEC, then it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to find him guilty in the coming lawsuits.
plus merchant's costs are way too high compared to BTC

The BTC fee, in USD, is in the double digits--and occasionally bumps into the triple digits. Credit card fees, in contrast, are swallowed by the merchant, meaning that effectively they are free to consumers. Moreover, the basic fundamentals of capitalism guarantee that merchants can't simply raise their prices because other merchants can than compete with them on the basis of absolute price.

While I sympathize with the merchants, credit card fees are also miniscule in comparison to the costs of handling paper cash securely, so the ultimate economic case is squarely for accepting credit cards.
I started to develop similar issues when I moved from the iPhone 5 to the 7 Plus. I sold that and got the 8 the next year, and I started using Popsockets and swapping hands and fingers more frequently, but I still have some numbness and pain in my right thumb joint. I really wish phones had stuck around the iPhone 4/5 screen size - even with fairly large hands, that felt just about perfect.
I don't understand why I'd use functional CSS over inline styles. With inline styles I have editor auto-complete, no confusion as to whether it "pt-10" or "pt-15" even exists.

I make pretty heavy use of cascades and don't put classes on every single HTML tag and try and keep my HTML as semantic as possible even though I actually do have components for every button. I will put an inline style of something if that is the most logical approach but proper semantic classes allow me to work at a higher level than individual styles.
Would you mind sending me a link to one of your job postings? I'm a mechanical engineering graduate looking to pivot into a CS career. My temp email: stadumajoc@memeil.top

Thanks!
We took out all mentions of prior knowledge and experience in our entry level job postings. In our more experienced posting, we only ask for prior work experience building software for X years. We list only our stack and even caveat that by saying that it can change. I can wager that most software engineer positions fall in this category.

Another relevant point here is that women are less likely to apply for positions with a predefined list of requirements even if they are only missing 1 of them as opposed to men. So why are we shooting ourselves in the foot with all of these requirements?

In my opinion Rust suffers from this type of problem.

I actually suspect but haven't proven that I can make very memory or type 'safe' programs with Nim. I guess it goes back to practical necessity or reality for starters though. Do we need to or can we really prove that our programs are safe somehow? Is that something we generally need to the expense of everything else?

But Rust ergonomics have been getting better and in my opinion some of the Rust guarantees may put it in an elite category of languages along with Nim but for totally different reasons.
It probably isn't. But if it is, the most likely way would be by using ARP spoofing. Of course, that in itself doesn't let you bypass TLS.
Right, but I would argue that it is a form of an index. An index is simply an internal derived data structure that has to be kept in sync with the source dataset.

All indices are derived views of the original dataset that are optimized with certain characteristics.

I’d love it if StackOverflow would let me select code text and automatically reformat it according to some standard spec (I don’t care which set of opinions are used provided it’s readable!) - too many inexperienced (or unqualified, it seems) people copy and paste ad-hoc written SQL that I always have to manually reformat myself when I edit their questions for readability.
I somewhat agree but I think there are two things wrong with tacit style in Haskell:

1. It is usually taken too far (indeed I think flip is probably too far and (.).(.) is certainly too far. I’m also not a big fan of eg fmap.fmap)

2. (.) is the wrong way round. Code reads much better if it has type (a -> b) -> (b -> c) -> (a -> c)

In APL or J was I don’t have enough experience to say other than that I find it difficult to read but the puzzle is amusing
Hmm, this might serve as a great alternative to Google Domains.
Mining pools can't change the rules of Bitcoin. They can only change the rules in their own clients, which would have them producing blocks which are not accepted by the larger Bitcoin network.

Changes to Bitcoin rules require consensus by all the participants (people running and using nodes). The only things a majority of miners can do are attempt double-spends of their own transactions, or temporary denial-of-service by excluding transactions from the chain of blocks they mine. Any other changes will fork them off the network, and then they'd be minting coins with no economy to sell them into.
Sure that's kind of a worst case scenario there. One of the bigger problems with the ER-L design, IMO, is that they don't have any sort of temperature measuring device inside the case itself. They run hot even without extreme ambient temperatures so you'd think there'd be some baked in way to monitor the temperatures, but no.

>When you want it to have a different (standard) margin, use a utility class on it.

Then when the next PM wants this button to be blue, you make another utility class and end up editing HTML. It's better to just think entirely in terms of components that are independent of any external framework or guideline, which are only responsible for themselves. Everything on your page is a concrete implementation of an abstract component, and in that implementation you can customize all you want. Otherwise you end up with a massive dependency graph between components of various "utility classes" rather than a completely flat hierarchy of components which handle their own dependencies.
What is this? I can't figure it out from the homepage. What kinds of projects might this be useful for? What does it... provide?
I keep seeing pre-fab articles pop up on HN, but I think it's having difficulty gaining traction because construction requires a different process--design, sourcing, code approval, labor. Supposedly it can be substantially cheaper, both single family homes and apartment buildings.

My uninformed guess is that it won't be widely adopted until the various pre-fab companies with competing strategies and designs work toward some sort of standardization such that knowledge and skills can readily transfer. I bet it's also a patent minefield, precluding standardization and commoditization.

Perhaps some large homebuilder will acquire one of the pre-fab companies and then we'll start to see some volume. Maybe San Francisco should acquire one and just begin building a ton of cheap apartment buildings....
Yeah, I have no idea how it could accomplish what is alleged. Just lots of very bad no good end of world comments. Have none of these people ever used public wifi?
> A transaction can be reversed even 6 months down the line, as anyone who runs a business probably knows.

This is a feature, not a bug. I'd want to see evidence that the total cost of fraud in crypto is less per user than the cost of fraud in traditional credit. I would guess that the cost of fraud in traditional credit is actually far lower because reversibility reduces the incentive to commit fraud. It's very difficult to steal money from someone's account because they can dispute the charge and get it back.

Compare that to the case where your crypto account is hacked. There is zero recourse, the thief generally gets away with it scott free, so the incentives to commit fraud are huge.

First of all I love reading arguments about CSS architecture like this, since even for me doing CSS 19 years now I still haven’t found a „goldstandard“ - and I think he makes good points.

However, I would be more inclined to use his utility classes as one layer in an ITCSS architecture and then have component styles that inherit from them, keeping them away from the markup as much as possible, while allowing to use those utility classes in the markup for quick prototyping.

For whatever it's worth, here's an interview that's more recent with Zubrin: https://www.thespaceshow.com/show/07-aug-2018/broadcast-3167... .

No, actually. There's nothing I can do about this situation, and reading an analytic summary of it later if I'm curious is a far better use of my time.
Then get out now before you potentially lose it all. It's not actually that difficult. I still use Google services on a daily basis (Android phone, Google Maps, Music, etc), but have migrated off anything that I can't live without (e.g. Gmail, Calendar, Contacts -> Fastmail. Google Drive -> Syncthing.)

Google, to their credit, makes it very easy to download all your data: https://takeout.google.com

I had close to a decade of data on Gmail. I created a new email address on my own domain using Fastmail and set a vacation responder on my Gmail notifying people of my new address. I changed my email address on all my online accounts to my new address, and after probably six months or so took the plunge, downloaded all my Gmail data for archival and deleted my Gmail.

It was remarkably painless, and there are two tidbits that make it even easier:
1) You can delete your Gmail while keeping your Google account, and you can even use your new email address as your username for your existing Google account, so that things like Google Docs sharing still work seamlessly.
2) You don't lose your Gmail address, and you can re-enable it at any time (just in case you discover a critical account or something that you forgot to switch over).

What about email hosting? Gandi includes 5 email accounts with every registration, while most other registrars charge for each account. Email is a basic need.
To be honest the fear of losing my whole blog or content (which happened couple of times) was one of the reasons I made https://www.gonevis.com, so I could write and share my stuff and be a place for other people as well.

I do host my own email server as well, but still have some dependency on GMail.

I use google docs, but stuff that I don't care if they get vanished.

They suspended my google adwords and even though I sent emails and try to talk to them, follow every step of their guidelines, none of them helped, talking with Google support is like talking to robots, I tell them my account is suspended and ect they would respond "yes your account is suspend", such a waste of time.

Well, I try to not put important stuff online or at hands of some people who don't communicate and reason the suspension of my account.
These are the things that have helped me, roughly in order of effectiveness:

1. "Stop doing that". Fix your ergonomics, change your keyboard, and take breaks until the pain goes away.

2. A good physical therapist will help you root cause the problem and fix up major issues

3. Strength training, even just minor exercises for that wrist and arm. Eccentrics seem to be the one of the few things that really helps tendonitis.

4. Reduce stress. Somehow stress seems to exacerbate all of these problems.

In the old days, I was doing CSS by hand for every site I made. It kind of sucked.

Then Bootstrap came out, and the idea of CSS frameworks was a thing. I loved Bootstrap, but so did a lot of other people, and as a result you started seeing Bootstrap everywhere...like when you buy a car and you start seeing everyone else driving one where ever you go.

So I started trying to customize Bootstrap to make it look less like other bootstrap sites by adding custom CSS, which basically brought me back to where I started.

In practice it has been much, MUCH easier to work with CSS frameworks that use utility classes, because it makes customization easier. I do think there needs to be an intermediate layer where it's easy to define semantic classes as composites of utility classes. I would think this should be possible in the days of Less, Sass, and precompiled web sites.
On the contrary, decisions by not-my-actual-server-host to get involved in content disputes is what would drive me away as a customer. What having the tiniest modicum of common sense would tell you is that holding each middleman responsible for content they pass through is ridiculous. It is definitely a way to enforce a level of censorship that didn't work when you went to the true source of the data. Hosting someone's DNS, passing their data over your pipes, building the keyboard they type with, registering their domain, etc is not the same as supporting the content. I think you're intentionally confusing the issue by equating hosting one type of service with another.

I'm sorry to hear that, it sounds horrible. We had a very similar situation several years ago which led to the development of our original Registrar.

All I can tell you is the 'custom' in Custom Domains refers to the idea that you can set whatever security policy you would like. That includes restricting who can change your domain to a list of people you can count on one hand who each have a personal relationship with you. If you want a policy which requires a photo of you with today's newspaper in it to change a domain, that's probably something which can be arranged.

Just to clarify for readers, this is the Custom Domain plan, which is the Enterprise version of the Registrar we are launching today.
In Linus' case, there is reason for people who don't follow Linux closely to think he is part of the "disgusting underbelly".

A few people I know, when discussing this story, know Linus mainly as the Linux kernel developer who writes long insulting e-mails to people who's posts he doesn't like. The "retroactive abortion" seems particularly famous.

I'm not saying this is fair, given the massive and positive effect of the Linux kernel, but that doesn't stop it being true (based on my tiny sample).

I'm not sure what you mean by the first half of your comment. Both def and lambda create functions, and quoting from the article "Lambda expressions are just a special syntax for making functions. They can only have one statement in them and they return the result of that statement automatically.".

def binds it to a name at the same time, which is remembered in the object (which AFAIK isn't really used for anything except maybe debugging tools), lambda returns an anonymous one. The resulting object can be passed around in both cases.
No. I hope they never offer email hosting. It's distracting, messy work that is already handled well by numerous other companies.
