As a minority, let me assure you that I'd much rather be treated equally than to be subject to your soft bigotry and low expectations. Don't handle me; it's insulting.
It's very successful, but It's known to be incomplete, so this is why this article is interesting because it can point to a new theory that alter or event replace the standard model. Also, I linked to the cosmological constant problem, which to me looks like a gaping hole in the theory.

It's amazing that all this math can describe the world we live in and help build us all the modern gadgets we see:

But on the other hand it looks like spaghetti code written in APL and needs some refactoring :)
We used to recognize "flamewars" and "flamebait" a lot more readily online and encourage people to not get sucked in. To separate their opinions from a shouting match that is destined to go nowhere, even when they have a stake in the topic.

Now... we don't. And I fully cast the blame at the feet of those who have found a way to profit from starting and participating in shouting matches online. This includes 95+% of journo-bloggers.

Ok maybe I was too negative too quickly, sorry. After reading another article [1] linked in some other comment I can see the appeal, if used with some templating engine that allows reusing html (like Vue or React).

It is crazy how new technology brings up old patterns again. Similar to how it was frowned upon to have JS near your HTML ("must be separated!") and now with React they are intertwined to a maximum.

I oftentimes find css to be the most complex and hardest to change part of web applications and am thankful to any approach that explores alternatives!

Yet a lifelong computer nerd with that structured learning foundation will leave a non-passionate CS degree holder and a degreeless lifelong computer nerd in the dust.

People want to scream about CS degrees being trash and yet all the passion in the world doesn't seem to convey an understanding of memory leaks, garbage collection, and VM/bytecode/etc. hijinks (like JVM, MRI, etc.) to the degreeless people in my team.

A CS degree program worth its salt will dip you into enough low level OS programming that you can bring with you to any language. It also should expose you to multiple programming languages so you can quickly separate universal ideas (pointers, references, pass-by-value, pass-by-reference, various models of multithreading) from syntax.

Meanwhile, degreeless bootcamp people just think Ruby Symbols are nifty immutable strings and have no idea why symbolizing dynamic string keys in hashes results in a memory leak.

I'm not against bootcamps, but polyglot is still my primary requirement for hiring for this exact reason. Bootcamps need to at least integrate a week of Computer Org and a week of doing what they just did in another language into the curriculum to really be a valid way to bypass CS degree programs.
Samsung Execs Charged with Union Sabotage
hey! Oli here from the Worldbrain.io team

> Is there any way to dump all/important parts of the information Memex captures to plain text/CSV/etc, or, say, a sqlite database?

Yes indeed there soon will be. Currently working on a backup & restore feature that would make that possible too. First cloud backup & local dump, then exporting in different formats.
Depends a bit though on what people really want out of it and how they intend to use it.

Want to get this right together with the community.

> "Full-text search" seemed to me (and might to many) like full-text search of webpage contents,

You are right in your first impression. It IS full text search on the content of each page you visit :)
Asking if somebody compiled the code is kind of shitty, yeah. Assume good faith. But even that is nowhere near the kind of direct and point-to-point insults that some folks, particularly Linus, have gone to on occasion.

I think that you are arguing apples and apple pies.
The paleotronic folks have been on fire lately. Their Apple II emulator, microM8 is fast becoming one of the most advanced, cross-platform emulators.

Hayek is best known for his book The Road to Serfdom which sounded the alarm on socialism/communism so... no! Hayek won't feel "right at home" in the surveillance state of China that's implementing 1984-esque "social score" and other policies that if not Serfdom I don't know what they are.
Not meant as a joke at all. I have spoken to a few companies that chose Clojure as their development language. They had problems finding people because it's a new language. When I asked them why didn't they just chose something more established like Java with a seemingly unlimited supply of developers they said that they want to attract a certain type of developer that they are willing to train.

And that goes both ways. I want to work for a company that chooses language X instead of ruby-python-java-and-the-like because they care.

Mind you, this is not meant as a language bashing, not at all

Edit: obviously, those companies chose Clojure first of all because of technical reasons, but the hiring part is another perk

Most people I know that became mechanical engineers were tearing apart dirtbikes and snowmobiles and ATVs long before they had drivers licenses.

And if you have family that is in those sorts of heavy equipment fields, chances are good that as soon as you are big enough to hold a flashlight or run and pickup wrenches, you are going to get drafted into helping out.
As an Azure customer, I am happy about this...as someone that worries about such large players crowding out smaller data centers, this worries me. How easy is it for a smaller provider to join the Alliance? If it's easy, that's great...if it's limited to much larger players, I am a bit concerned about the long term effects.
Right, looking for signals of "passion" has to be done carefully so it doesn't become just a proxy for socioeconomic class. This is also true when thinking about "cultural fit" within a company.
I vacationed in Rome several years ago, and I took the subways to Ostia to see the ruins.

The park is extraordinarily blasé about these tile mosaics, of which there are many. They asked that, if you walk on them, you do not walk on any portions that are cracking, frayed, or otherwise delicate. They are piled up in sideways stacks in several places around the park.

Ostia is quite an experience. They have the best and most complete ruins in the vicinity of Rome, and Ostia is second only to Pompeii in the size of the collection and site.
How about just watching the shows? Every little quip about a one political party or groups of people. Who do the shows make the villain? Who do they talk down to?

It's pretty simple when most content comes from a small area and has the same assumptions. The diversity of thought in Hollywood is pretty narrow.

Someone must have blown the whistle on this at some point, right? I'm not out of my mind, am I?

There are plenty of books, but I get the feeling you would think all the authors are obviously tainted. Try "Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took over Your TV" by Ben Shapiro. Now, if you consider him alt-right, then you have been seriously misinformed.
And the things only weigh 2 pounds. All added weight has to count on these.
In tailwind, you have a config file. You can just change the variable in the config file to the colour you need to change it to and it changes globally.
Where to Find Investors for Your Startup Idea
That is a great point -- maybe my argument should be appended to include the fact that CS makes it ridiculously easy to create and present a portfolio of work (GitHub pages!) which seems to be impossible in other fields. Regardless, it does seem that these few special traits that CS has allows it to be one of the few where it actually makes sense for a high schooler to build up experience & a body of work.

I've seen teenagers submit great projects to HN and get feedback from the knowledgeable crowd here, that really seems to be impossible in any other field (unless you have connections).
Looks impressive. However, since Nim has such an easy C/C++ FFI you have to consider also all C and C++ APIs. That looks superior even to Go, unless Go's C FFI is as easy as Nim's.

I dunno, I tried to hire based on potential, and I just let them go after six months of him failing to grasp even the basics of the job. He did fine in the interviews but ultimately you cannot fake experience.
Yep, I never wrote a line of code until I was 22 and had a couple years of college under my belt.
It's a terrifying reason to change the CoC because he does not want to appear racist. The mainstream media and Twitter hide the sane & reasonable people that oppose many diversity + inclusion measures, while showcasing the nastiest people from that side of the argument. Linus has taken that false image as the truth; he wants to separate himself from the people on that side. But the truth is that there are a greater number of people that oppose diversity, inclusivity, and equity efforts on the grounds that they trample an individual's moral authority & are based in Marxist lines of thought, than there are people who oppose those efforts because they have a deeply held prejudice.

It's truly sickening that the truth about diversity, inclusion, and equity is so muddled that even Linus can be deceived about it's nature. Fundamentally, the D.I.E. values are racist, Marxist, anti-capitalist, anti-merit, anti-competence at their core, and they pose a significant threat to modern working culture. Their threat is mostly their guise of compassion.
Oh, and it's written in Go.

Medicine may be more mature as an industry where education takes a little longer but it is not much different from software. Many of the best doctors (that I've had and know of) started out helping their parents with labwork as kids or interning at university labs in high school, helping with real research into biology or medicine. Likewise, there is a significant gulf between the doctors who chose the career because they are passionate about helping people and those who do it for the money or because of cultural pressure.

There's so much work to do in both fields and we need all kinds of people, but there is certainly a difference in work environment when the team is dominated by one type or the other.
If you want to blow everyone away then I think you should start with giving free real inboxes for everyone (maybe with some sane limit, or a way to pay per month to increase it), and then introduce email forwarding in the future (because I'm sure some people will still want that feature even with real inboxes available).

If you GA'd with:

~$8 .com addresses, N real inboxes, free whois guard and a top notch DNS record API.

That's a compelling offer and I'd very likely switch from namesilo if that were the case.

To be honest, anything less and I'd stay with namesilo because the 15 minute timer can be worked around by using my web host's name servers (digitalocean pushes updates in a few seconds). I couldn't live without either email forwarding or a real inbox.
Some quick notes...

Corporate Benefits:

- While a lot of folks look at bureaucracy as a huge drawback, in retrospect, I learned a lot about how to influence people and trying to see all sides of an argument.

- In some cases, it can be freeing to work for a big corporate environment if you manage to find yourself on a team with a green field project. It's got a lot of benefits that startups have with little to no risk of failure.

- Structure can be good for some folks, especially early in your career if you haven't got the slightest clue what you're interested in doing long term. I view it sort of like bootcamp for the military - you get a routine, you learn to function as a group, without the stress of needing to survive.

=======

Corporate Drawbacks:

- Bureaucracy - it can be utterly draining. Some fights feel like such a slog for minute improvements.

- It's easy to get lost in the mix - bosses can change frequently if an organization is unhealthy, team members bail, and product groups fall apart. The healthiest corporate groups can be incredibly freeing to work in and the worst corporate groups can really burn out your creativity because it turns into monotony.

- Golden handcuffs - I walked away from a big chunk of money when I went to startup land. It wasn't easy but ultimately it was the right choice.

=======

Startup Benefits:

- More work than you have people to do it. There's always something to do, you never end up with busy work, and you're almost always learning something you didn't know the day before about the business or your technology.

- Smaller groups that feel more like family and less like work. I get to work with my friends, people that I'd hang out with outside of work. That can be a double edged sword, but for me I enjoy it.

- Closer connection to the customer. At a big corporate job, you're so far removed from your customers as an engineer that it can be very isolating. For startups, you often interact with a customer if something's broken or a customer wants a new feature. I enjoy that a lot.

=======

Startup Drawbacks:

- More work than you have people to do it. If you don't set good boundaries and have a good culture of identifying the most important thing to be done, everything can feel like a "tyranny" of the urgent.

- Pay is lower, especially at earlier stages. I'm not terribly obsessed with money. I like to have money to travel and enough to get a few things I want but expensive cars or collecting guitars isn't my jam.

- Unpredictability - Business needs change quickly as you fight for deals, you experiment or cut features to try and drive costs down. It can feel like you built something and then aggressively cut it prematurely.

========

These are just my notes on it - and really it's stream of consciousness. I'm sure if I sat down to write a real blog post, it'd probably be a little better reasoned.
I feel your pain. Trying to hire perm in London at the moment is a real challenge, even with a recruiter. Contractor rates are obscene (5-8x perm). Recruiting and retaining is what keeps me awake at night over and above any tech issues that I'm working on.
You have dozens of devices in what sounds like small locations across your state. I have 11k users online in North America and I would never trust Unifi for any part of my network. They have their place but enterprise is not one of them. SMB is not the same.
Not a bug caused by programmers, but a bug caused by the domain experts who wrote the specifications for the code. I doubt the programmers writing the code were experts on cloud/satellite imagery interactions.
Preregistration does help with this issue a bit. It won't make published studies any better, but it still helps solve the file-drawer problem if the results are available somewhere. If you take a shotgun approach to getting significance out of null hypotheses, you presumably get 5% successes. (Sort of. Maybe. p-values really stink, as you point out.) But if 20 people all run variants of the same bunk study, preregistration means that instead of just seeing one success, we see one success on the cover of PNAS, and then at least have the option to look up the ~10 prior failures and decide not to accept the conclusion. (Well, one time in twenty it'll be the first try, but it's still progress.)

Of course, that's still going to push researchers to change up their techniques for getting false positives. It rewards either covering unexplored domains (so there's no counterexample to your false positive), or exploiting other tricks to manipulate significance in preregistered work.

I don't think existing journals have much hope of improving their practices, honestly. Between their ludicrous financial incentives and ideologues talking "methodological terrorism", that matter seems depressingly settled. But I wonder if there might be hope for creating a counterweight to this?

What happens if Gelman and Khahneman get together to create the Very Prestigious Journal of Replications and the Somewhat Prestigious Journal of Rejected Hypotheses? The first one is neat because it rewards negative results, since they change the state of what's understood - at the very least it might encourage more people to start checking the most influential and most suspicious results. The second thing might be a harder sell, but it could reward comprehensive negative work on key topics (much like Alzheimer's research has heavily consisted of excluding possible pathways). Honestly, "create new prestigious journals from scratch" sounds far easier than "reform existing journals" or "tenure and reward professors for reasons other than publications".
>Codes of Conduct are established sometimes without a problem actually existing in the community in question

I don't understand the word sometimes. I have yet to be shown an example where a woman, trans person, person of color, Muslim, or someone on whatever the oppression index is today was discriminated against when pushing code to a project. No one knows what you are unless you tell them - and it's always been 100% irrelevant to the topic of coding.

This is absolutely trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist while flat out saying things like "we're trying to change the predominantly white face of programming"... wtf.

>They're also often seen as a way to legitimize a "we can silence you for any reason we choose" behaviour that is far too frequent in community moderators.

Because that was IMMEDIATELY what actually happened.

I don't care one way or the other. I don't contribute to FOSS because my job isn't really conducive for that to be part of my activities. But I see people who are looking for a fight just to fight, and that's a bad idea.
> fair market rate

Or is it that people that have not been proven before have a lower market rate, justified (so "fair") by this lack of pre-validation ?
That seems much more procedural than functional. There's nothing functional about "set this element a 5px margin and a light gray text and a darker background and a light gray border" which is quite literally the statement of the first snippet's @class.

Composing .profile-card out of these could be a functional approach, but you're just writing @style via @class.
Hi adam, small world (I know you tangentially from the laravel community way back when), as always your documentation is fantastically well done.
They weren't that unhappy to be associated with the community. They still cashed in their page views for advertising money. The double standard is treating the advertising revenue different from the licensing revenue on the same content.
Simple: delete your Facebook account. Many of us already have. Nothing will send a stronger message than people doing this en masse. Even if they don't get the message or don't care, it's the only way to protect yourself from their never-ending privacy violations.
I think this is pretty great. Apparently a .com is going to run you only $8.03 right now.

I already use Cloudflare for some things, and like to keep my web presence diversified, so I probably won't move my main domains to Cloudflare just to maintain "separation of powers", but there's definitely some "own the other TLDs of these"-type domains that I have which I may hand off to Cloudflare to save money.
Yes. All financials are filed in a single currency. You would report the exchange losses under a separate line specific for gains/losses due to FX.
Companies are still composed of people, and you’re denying their agency and culpability. If you work for Company X and are deciding or helping to implement something bad or wrong, you are personally doing that wrong thing and are culpable. They shouldn’t be able to hide behind the company. Actual people are doing things. Throwing our hands up and saying “well, it’s the company that’s wrong, nobody in particular!” Just helps to enable bad people to behave badly in bad companies.

This is true for silly things like Star Trek to serious things like working with dictators, NSA spying, etc.
The pizza delivery driver probably wants their job more than a stack of pizza and often provides their own vehicle. And robbing armored bank trucks involves attacking people, there isn't the same moral guideline when it comes to robots. Flying pizza robots will be considered 'fair game' by a lot of people.
The simple way would be to use part of the hash for the domain and part for the user. If you alternated bits it wouldn't be obvious.

I doubt it'd be worth spending the effort to target people with personal domains though, and it would have some negative effects, so your point is well taken.
> What's the source of this?

Yes, I wonder about this too.

> Given that siblings are often so different between each other, and from their parents, it could be that most of personality traits come from the environment, but we're still born with it.

In terms of genetics, the reason there's variation between siblings and parents, even though it is true that as children we inherit 50% of our genes from our father and 50% from our mother, is due to randomness in terms of which parts get inherited. Our siblings are inherits different combinations of genetics, but we all inherit 50%/50%.

This doesn't answer the question of how much of our personality is inherited vs environmental, but that siblings/parents are so different from each other doesn't argue against heritability.
Best css idea in the past years. If you are a complainer: try it first, on a real world project. Only after, you can go on and complain. Really.

A complainer.
This reads to me like Bitmain wants to cash out while it can. Not a great indicator for the blockchain space.
Not sure if you're familiar with the mentioned languages.

I've been working on my first Clojure/ClojureScript project for a couple of months now. Alone, with no previous real-world experience on any lisp. I dare say I'm more productive now than I would be with React+Redux and a Spring/ASP.NET/Rails backend (all of which I have experience with in more than one project).
I truly believe you are misunderstanding my comments. Linus himself might indeed only be concerned with the extreme "Storm Front types" as you say, but the topic for the last three comments prior to yours was the people who act offended by his actions. Subconscious bias is relevant to them, even if it's not to him.
The problem I have is: what if I want to (for example) add a style or take it away from all my buttons? It's going to be a lot of manual fiddle, or is the idea that hand written sites are wrong to start with and I should be using generated code?
Tom Clancy himself had strong conservative political views and his work always reflected that mindset. If anything it would be disingenuous for a show like Jack Ryan to stray from that.

Same could be said about Clint Eastwood, for that matter.
