Unfortunately the only way to really know is to have a PPC expert audit your account. IMO having a good in-house PPC person is crucial, or at least go through a reputably agency (as an in-house PPC expert can be pricey.) Even though agencies charge a service fee, your results will almost certainly outperform just using Google's in-house service or doing it yourself. There are also classes some people offer on the topic, which can help you tell if you are being had. I'm not saying it's going to happen every campaign, but it is a common practice.

From my experience building similar pipelining and reverse polish function application tooling in python.

Piping using the | operator can make tracebacks pretty ugly with some operators.

If you want to keep the code still somewhat 'pythonic' without introducing the syntax magic using |, you can do it similarly:

range(10)
| pp.flatmap(lambda x: [x + 1, x + 2])
| pp.map(lambda x: x * x)
...

You can do this instead:

xs = range(10)
xs = pp.flatmap(xs, lambda x: [x + 1, x + 2])
xs = pp.map(xs, lambda x: x * x)
...

It helps to keep the operand as first argument, instead of last, because those lambdas are best kept at the end.

So instead of

map(fn, xs)

do

map(xs, fn)
Ask HN: Validate my startup idea for a personal knowledge store
Hi, i'm thinking about developing a personal knowledge store,
where you can simply send a link, text, images, youtube url ...
and it will get indexed with additional metadata extracted
from the source. Then it'll allow the user to fuzzy search the
store including the metadata.

example 1:

you send a link to an article:

- article's title gets indexed

- article's content gets indexed

- article's machine extracted meaning/tags get indexed

example 2:

you send an imdb link to a film:

- film metadata is extracted (author, score ..), indexed

and so on for any kind of knowledge you want to store.

Then you can search and match into everything that it's indexed.
Every stored information will have a custom view attached allowing the
user to interact with it.
(example, set that you have seen a film inserted or add a score.)

Would you pay for something like that? If so how much?
What you're saying is a pretty condescending way to treat other people's opinions. You're essentially questioning whether or not they really understand (complete with scare quotes) if they don't share your opinion.

It's not the "contextual understanding" - or any kind of understanding - that makes some techies uneasy. It's their own opinions and personal comfortability with regard to data monetization. Many people understand their data is monetized in myriad ways and fully don't care. Asking if they actually understand is only going to patronize them.
It's not just about targeting developers based on race, sex, or orientation.

It's about making comments that could be derogatory to such in certain lights making them feel unwelcome.

Something as seemingly innocuous as "don't get your panties in a twist" could be seen as unwelcoming to women as "panties" is the traditional word for female underwear so it implies that the person you're talking to is not only a woman, but that women get frustrated over inconsequential things.

And you could have easily said "don't take it personally" and gotten the same point across. That the person is over-blowing something inconsequential.
How to bring a new tool to your team (and not get squashed in the process)
This is a misleading headline. The article refers to the average monthly earnings per platform. In reality, the metric that should have been used is hourly earnings across all platforms.

This would account for 1) any difference in hours driven and 2) the proliferation of new platforms. 4 years ago, many markets didn't have both Uber & Lyft. Today, many drivers now use both concurrently, not to mention platforms like Juno, DoorDash, etc.
Rumor has it that his most recent proof also received private criticism and he rejected it. But the experts are being discreet. They're not jumping on twitter. Instead you had unqualified people who hadn't seen the papers or the talk saying that it had to be wrong.

I wrote elsewhere that Chrome 69 marks a big change for the browser world.

Chrome 69 is simply the best. Not for me, but for the average user. The reading and work flow is incredible for casual browsing.

The negative reaction on HN is understandable, but it's not relevant for most people.

The goal of Google is merging the user experience of Android, Chrome, Google search and personal Google accounts into one, and it will get increasingly difficult for users to get out of this ecosystem.
I would say that ITER has no potential to really point the way for fusion energy, it’s an international boondoggle born of Cold War/Post Cold War nuclear politics. As a vehicle for real science and engineering it’s bollocks. The real, slow, incremental research is being done elsewhere. We’re so far from a viable fusion plant rather than a test reactor that it isn’t even funny. So many basic problems (such as what you’ve outlined) remain unsolved even in a laboratory context, never mind the context of a large plant that would need to operate more or less continuously.
+1 on The Witness, but there's an entire genre now of walksim games that follow on the pattern of puzzles, story, exploration and non-combat engagement:

SMB3 offered an easy 100 lives plus continues. The parnent was referring to the original SMB, where you had to play the whole game, try to solve an invisible maze once or twice (unless you got good at the one or two 100 lives spots), and then play the whole game from the beginning (which you might fail at!) to get another chance at exploring the maze. It was a common tactic to make short games feel long.
I would take a small bet. We're the trend-setters in technology. We're the ones who got everyone on Chrome to begin with. Otherwise they'd still be on IE. If all the tech people abandon Chrome, they will start recommending FF or IE again and discourage Chrome use. The impact is slow, but it is significant.

Yes incremental changes looks like a good solution. I think it is hard to do it with the delta minutes changed, as you could have dramatic consequences on the costs (the ripples on the transportation systems can be quite surprising, in that changing the time of one school can have a big impact on the number of buses needed). As to the number of student start time, the main question is how do you choose the schools that change first? How do you make sure that your changes are not interrupted in the middle for political reasons, which would be unfair for the first schools and maybe the whole system.

Also, it is an algorithmic challenge to find a "path" of good solutions that go step by step to the good final start times.
Under the ideology that medical data in any form is the property of the patient and not an institution or government. I get it it’s a catch-22 situation. Without data there are no meaningful statistics. But are those who data is used to arrive at diagnostics and cures provided any benefit? I don’t think so - change that and you may see an uptick in data sharing.

Computers are still imperative, so all functional code is arguably syntactic sugar over that core causing a lot of leaky abstractions to show up all over the place.

I think the problem with Object-oriented programming is it's taught to soon. Start with Imperative then Functional then toss object oriented into your senior year.

LKML has been relatively quiet if you consider the number of subscribers on that list.

There's basically a few ambulance chasers trying to drum up business, and pretty much everyone involved knows to ignore them.

Also, Unrelated ESR story: In my teens my LUG saw him visit our regular meeting while he was in town for some other event, back in the 90s when linux was on a hype wave. We all went, as we normally did, to a group dinner afterwards. He and his guest straight up vanished on us before the bill came. I don't even know what he came for, he didn't tell or show us anything interesting. He behaved like a celebrity and forced a small group of broke kids to have to pay for him and his guest's meals. I don't even know how we managed to scrounge up the money, I certainly didn't have it.

ESR can go f*ck himself.
Everything in the book applies to React applications, and in fact references view components like the ones in the frameworks you mentioned quite a few times.

Even if the code you're writing is backed by a framework, in any non-trivial application you'll have to write interfaces other people (or your future self) have to consume and understand without much ceremony.

The book goes through implementing internals that are easy to read, maintain and update, as well as interfaces that are easy to consume and extend. This advice applies to most JavaScript projects
I would check out Quern. Quern is an excellent Myst style game and comes closest to Myst style puzzles. From what I've seen of the "The Witness" is looked to be the same maze puzzle but repeated throughout the game. I loved Johnathan Blow's "Braid" but I passed on the Witness after seeing some gameplay.

Chrome has been the new IE for years. "just use chrome" is an endless refrain from webdevs who don't want to test on Firefox. Not sure why it is so hard for people to see what is going on here. Google has a massive conflict of interest with their web development efforts. This is classic Microsoft-esque Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

This feels too harsh. It's not that either the business models need destroyed or that regulations should never change, but that some middle ground is worked out that benefits society at large.

All the services we're talking about have both real utility and (for the most part) unplanned costs and impacts.

The Taxi Medallion system is/was horribly corrupt and inefficient. Uber (for all their faults) is an improvement in terms of safety, convenience and less discriminatory practices.

For this particular article, I'm more than inclined to believe it just based on the name of the website alone.

Yet how can one explain the considerable negative reaction to the CoC on Phoronix's forum and Slashdot, which are hardly bastions of either 4channers or any kind of right-wing movement? They're highly pro-Linux.
I understand that but at least you know what to expect: “I’m going 42mph in a 35 zone, I might get pulled over and issued a ticket”, vs. “hmmm I wonder if going 35mph is dangerous driving, does passing a bike mean it’s dangerous? Does it being dusk mean it’s dangerous? Huh, I don’t really know”.
Something to add to this that most non-neuroscientists don't realize is that the spinal cord is not just a bundle of wires that connect the brain to muscles. The spinal cord is a complex circuit that contains "central pattern generators" (CPG) that can produce rhythmic movement. When activated, these networks can be pushed into a dynamic state where they repeat the same movement repeatedly, e.g. walking. For more, look up the work by Sten Grillner on stingray CPGs.

One approximate way of looking at this is that the brain's motor cortex sends a "go" signal to the spinal cords CPGs and these start generating the signals to the muscles to walk. You can also think of motor control as hierarchical where as you go up the hierarchy. The bottom of the hierarchy are the muscles/actuators, then the neurons that stimulate the muscles, then the circuits in the spinal cord that have these CPGs and other "primitives", then primary motor cortex and further up the cortical hierarchy. At the higher levels of the cortical hierarchy are representations of whole movements, like moving your hand to mouth. As you descend the hierarchy, the neural signals control gradually more details components of the movement. For more, look up the work by Michael Graziano.

Given that the popup sitting in my Gmail window currently says

I think you're being a little optimistic.
If you have 40M users I suspect the annual cost from the registrar is very small part of the budget. Get a registrar where you don't have to deal with a phone operator.

I work in this industry and it's a very clear separation between bulk registrars and those that maintain fewer but high value domain names. The latter usually give you a personal contact person to call and work proactively to deal with threats to companies' domain names and trade marks. I don't think I have ever heard of a domain being abruptly suspended by such a registrar.

The cost is usually 5x-10x that of the cheapest registrars so there is naturally a balance to be struck, and as I work in this industry I might be a bit biased. However the damage when waiting on the TTL when registries update NS records sounds very substantial when they first suspend and later restore a domain name in what sound as a very reckless behavior.
For high school at least it's like applying to collage, you take a standardized test and send out applications which some schools (Boston Latin) being more desirable then others.

You missed my point: claims like "I merely pointed out that poor lifestyle choices are overwhelming our current healthcare financing system." are empirical in nature and need empirical studies to demonstrate the truth of them.
Because they still retain copyright over the code. They've merely granted the Linux kernel a right to use the code under the GPL. They are with their rights to rescind that license.

Which I think is a mess because of how that reaches out. It may also be another point in favor of the GPL just being a bad license. If I rescind the GPL on my code, then everything that depends on it needs to rewritten and there may be things that aren't aware they're using my code that needs to be rewritten.

Then what about if someone modified my code? Then where does the copyright lie?

It's crazy.

That's a motte-and-bailey argument.
The easy to defend idea of CoC is of course that one shouldn't discriminate and act unprofessionally.
But declaring a CoC is just the first step - it needs to be enforced.
And by design the enforcement seems to involve backroom committees and no chance for the accused to even know about specific allegations, let alone defend against them.
It can result in downright kafkaesque situations and unnecessarily forces identity politics into the mix.

It speaks to economics.

A business process that works "by itself" most of the time, but requires human intervention once in a while, is still a functional business process. The unit of "software + 5% of this person's time" is perfectly workable. And if the cost of the fix is more than the NPV of 5% of that person's time, it isn't worth making.

Catastrophic failure risk, of course, changes the analysis. But a huge range of things are not catastrophic in their failure modes.
This should be higher up in the comments. DNS is a seldom thought of security / point of failure. Dyn's whole business model is basically: we won't turn you off until we talk to you.
I think that is the critical point: there is no interface between hospitals. What little infrastructure the HITECH act sketched out on this point was vague and inadequate. Clinicians and patients are most concerned with communication between hospitals or healthcare companies; miscommunication on this level is the cause of real pain for real people and in many cases actual death.

In terms of exporting data from one HIS system and into another, it's not clear to me that this will every work without more infrastructure. The exported HL7 data from one organization is going to be of little use to another, they would need some very specialized software to mediate between the data in the exported HL7 file and their own systems. Importing it directly into their hospital information systems is simply not going to be possible; their systems won't understand the myriad of idiosyncratic decisions that the other organization has made, often in response to the specific systems they have purchased (scheduling, laboratory, scheduling, etc.)

Awesome, thanks. So maybe around 2/3 the cost per trip, compared to school busses, which seems plausible.
Connecting this to the OP is that it looks like the stimulation is initially activating these CPGs -- all of the movement is happening based on control from the spinal cord alone. It's not clear how much communication is taking place between the motor cortex and the spinal cord in this patient.
Anyone who routinely uses tap-to-pay will already know how to position their phone for NFC functionality. Here in Canada, support for tap-to-pay in point of sale systems is near-ubiquitous. Not 100%, but it's it's very much the exception for it not to be supported.

Financial institution support for phones as the source of the payment tap is spotty here, but definitely growing. Contactless cards are the longer-standing way for Canadians to use this method.
Technically, Andrew's still in the clear as Gatekeeper is a system facility for controlling what can be installed and run on your machine. Permissions for access to system services and app databases is the only thing that's changed.
The domain was registered over 22 years ago, and it kept moving through registrars who were acquired. We do have a solid record of reliable services, and have kept growing in spite of never taking a dime in outside capital.
Yes, I agree. That’s why a fail-safe procedure (like the one you’ve outlined) would have helped in this case.
So you ignored the other arguments the author makes? The problem you run into if you want to define gender studies as illegitimate is that depending on what grounds you declare it so you inadvertently disqualify other subjects which are 'known' to be legitimate.

Gender studies isn't really all that different from other humanities other than it has a lot of breath with a narrow focus.

Your typical gender studies major will hit the following based on the course offerings at my alma mater.

- Statistics

- Economics

- Philosophy

- Rhetoric & Communication

- Biology

- Classics

- Contemporary Culture

- Art

- Sociology

- Religious Studies
