Sibling comments have good answers about the definition, but just to clarify the motivation a bit, the typical justification I've heard for mandatory parking spaces is to avoid a prisoner's dilemma between building owners, especially when there's street parking in the area.

Let's say you have 10 buildings in an area, all of which provide some parking, plus there's some street parking. Any one of those buildings could decide to convert its parking into more homes or stores or whatever would make them more money, and just tell their customers/residents to use the other parking nearby. If everyone did this, nobody would have anywhere to park (especially not visitors), and building owners would have relatively little incentive to provide their own parking (they don't want to be the sucker). By forcing everyone to provide some amount of parking, you're overriding the bad incentives and getting people to cooperate for the greater good. At least theoretically, it's a good example of the government stepping in and making things better for everyone.

I think that rationale holds up less well with dedicated parking, pay-to-park, and parking garages, but certainly there are areas where free parking is the norm.

That's the theory (I think), though it has plenty of downsides. I'm not interested in owning a car, so the last four places I've lived have provided a parking space that went unused, and have had absurdly high rents due to the Bay Area's housing shortage (which might be alleviated by replacing parking spaces with housing).
How Facebook uses a hidden feature to share your information with advertisers
This looks pretty clean. I would like to see benchmarks that compare between Flask and especially Falcon, which IMO is the gold standard for fast, minimal API frameworks.
Interesting, yes, since the ownership of the put is an equivalent to a sale, yes?
"You seem to be saying some mental events don’t have physical causes, or maybe that some mental properties are not encoded physically."

I think he is only saying that an empirical language alone will not be enough to relate mental processes to physical ones. You have to define what a mental event really is before you can properly test anything about it, and depending on what definition you choose it might be inherently un-testable. If you define a mental process as being composed of physical processes from the start then of course you will conclude that all mental processes are influenced by physical ones. There are other possible definitions though such as physical processes being composed of multiple mental processes (the opposite of the last) in which case no physical test could be performed to verify a "change" occurred in the mental subject (but a "mental test" of sorts might still be able to tell us)

I was thinking that one might partially cover (e.g. buy puts for 25-50% of the value of their portfolio) but you're right. the risk premium should be exactly equal to the expected profit on the asset, if the world works the way theory predicts.
The feature itself is not type hinting but simply a way to associate arbitrary Python object to essentially any other slot (variable, argument, return value, whatever...) that can hold reference to Python object. The interpreter is supposed to not care about values of such annotations, which makes it a powerful syntactic construct that can be used and abused for various purposes. My two evening project was PyCLOS, which (ab)uses these annotations to provide CLOS style multimethods in python (it is sadly CPython dependent, because the Python side relies on CPython implementation details and while the C extension is not mandatory it is essentially required to get reasonable performance, with somewhat surprising observation that PyCLOS dispatch is measuringly faster than normal attribute access in most cases)
Daring Fireball does a great job of integrating ads into the page. Gruber sells a small banner in the corner, which is basically the only part of his page with any color in it so it really stand out. Then he has a weekly sponsor post where he plugs that week's sponsors. He also has an individual sponsor for his RSS feed where he puts an article plugging them into the RSS feed.

Granted, that only works because he has an established enough audience that he can have sponsors come a-courting. But that's the difference between building an audience and trawling for traffic.

Josh Marshall runs Talking Points Memo largely on subscriptions, with ad revenue as a supplement. He wrote an entire article about how he prefers to keep his day-to-day expenses for the year paid through reliable funding streams like subscriptions and using more variable sources, like ad revenue, to support investments for future growth, capital investment, etc. I think he prefers to not feel over-a-barrel to advertisers or traffic as well, just out of a sense of journalistic integrity.
A perfect example is the TensorFlow project's support policy which the article references (i.e. they don't do support.) As long as a project is clear about what they will and won't do/provide, just about anything is workable. Far worse to claim to provide support and then be inconsistent about it... better to either say 'we don't provide support' or 'contact us for support options and pricing'.

These statements are contradictory! Making business pay for their own results in on-street parking parking lots and minimum parking requirements. When you centrally plan parking you get parking garages.

Clickhouse has some weird quirks when you think of it as a SQL Database, but its astounding to use it. It's faster than one would think, it can do some really cool data modeling, and provides a wealth of features for the average user out of the box.

The most important thing, and the thing that makes it attractive to me is that it is almost stupidly simple to setup and get running. It's quite simple (when you wrap your head around it) to do sharding or replication and scale up. The zookeeper stuff takes a bit more effort, but most of that is due to zookeeper and not ClickHouse.
That isolation means that people travel to airports to go to other metro areas, rather than train stations like in Europe.

It doesn't explain the lack of transit inside the metros.

Metro population density is far more important.

Lenovo Sets Computer to Stun, Unveils Star Trek Enterprise PC
What do you mean same can’t be said for macOS? Carbon and Cocoa. Cocoa has been around since 2001 (17 years), and is still going. Since 2007 UIKit has been around (11 years) and doesn’t seem as if it’s going anywhere either. I personally think Apple has the nicest UI frameworks to develop for, and the longevity is quite good. The frameworks (particularly UIKit) regularly get meaningful updates to make it modern, and now there’s an entire new modern language that’s 100% compatible while moving things forward.

Disclosure: I happen to work for Apple, but this was my previous opinion having spent many years using all the major frameworks/platforms out there.

I have been recommending this system to people for over a year now after first discovering it. It probably single handedly is one of the best startups to invest in.

Just months before hearing it, my pregnant wife and I were researching how hard ultrasound devices are to build, and were very surprised at how ultrasound can be used to detect/diagnosis an insane amount of common illnesses.

The hardware and physics behind ultrasound isn't nearly as technical or as advanced as you may think, and nowadays it is mostly a software issue. Combine the imaging with personal baselining and machine learning across similar body types fitted to 3D human model templates, you'd get Star Trek's medical scanner.

The technology here could be used to eliminate 99%+ waste and inefficiency in the medical industry, effectively bankrupting the current institutions and disrupting the industry with better, cheaper, healthier, less-annoying care. This is a future we should be fighting for.
The problem with games is the amount of effort involved just to determine if it is “fun”. When I was in it cancelling a game 1 year deep with 10 people was normal.
Many of the people I work with own cars but will choose to cycle, walk, or take the bus (researchers who have money and are well educated). Just because they drive frequently, doesn't mean they are doing it to commute to work. They probably don't benefit much from more parking spaces.
French typographic rules prescribe a space before ‘!’, ‘;’, ‘:’, and ‘?’.
Unfortunately, IE11 is still quite prevalent in large enterprise organization with IT departments that control which browsers are installed on desktops across the org. There's a lot of bureaucracy and legacy apps to contend with before making a change to swap out a browser. For example, IT might first have to certify that a browser change would not break usability with any number of old internal company web apps.

There are also quite a number of Win32 apps with embedded browsers that are essentially running IE11. Depending on what Win32 control/plug-in was used to embed a web browser, those embedded web browsers might be stuck on IE11 indefinitely (until the authors of the Win32 app re-compile with an embedded web browser that uses Edge).

And I did read it from a book, when someone from University introduced me to the book and explained it to me in short firstly so I can grasp it more easily on my own.

I'd never pick a book about B trees on my own (booooring, let's learn LatestFramework.js).

No, but if I needed to know about how to optimize MySQL, I would do research on - how to optimize MySQL.

My University professors were mostly a complete disaster but at least the materials we had were good enough. Who wanted to learn had access to knowledge, and for motivation -- at least the grades.

I doubt that there is a dirth of knowledge between the free information you can get and paid courses online.

I can't see myself on my own even finding a book about theory and then going through it for 4 months, getting into nitty gritty details just for the kick of it.
There's no obvious benefit at the time of learning it. By the time you can see the benefit on your own, it could be too late.

There was no obvious benefit from me learning 65C02 assembly language and BASIC in the 6th grade. But I did it anyway. There was no benefit from me spending hours on the comp.lang Usenet groups in college. For any software developer though, there is an obvious benefit from having a deep understanding in marketable technologies - competitiveness in the job market.

> It really comes down to how industrious and conscientious you are rather then how smart and happy you are.

I get it that industriousness and conscientiousness are important, but I disagree that "it" (whatever "it" is) comes down to those rather than being happy.

(I also disagree that being smart or working smart is less important, although it's true that just being smart without any of the former two doesn't allow one to accomplish much. Of course if you value the idea of being busy and doing a lot as an end in itself, that's another story.)

If your economical circumstances, the surrounding society or other realities dictate that you have to be particularly industrious in order to survive and to meet your basic needs, wants and goals, it makes sense to have that as your central value. But if you're already getting what you need, why on Earth would industriousness rule over happiness or satisfaction?

I guess this is pretty much a matter of values, and if you get that satisfaction from being and feeling industrious, that kind of answers the question. But if you don't, it doesn't make much sense -- in that case the former is just a means to the end.

> Most people don’t have this luxury, work very long hours in completely shitty jobs (think cleaning toilets) and never burn out and lead happy life.

Well, you can kind of toil away in a non-thinking job, and if it suits your personality, that's fine. It can still be exhausting particularly if you need to do it in a hurry, but I wouldn't expect you to burn out if you can keep doing pretty much the same thing every day and it suits you.

However, I think a lot of people on HN are the kinds of people who get satisfaction from more than just getting their basic job done, and the ability to be creative and to maintain the kinds of cognitive abilities required e.g. for tech jobs does actually require a balance, at least for most people.

But yeah, it's a matter of values in a sense I guess. Doing what fits your values gives satisfaction.

... or call it a hobby. Just because someone does the same thing they make a living from for fun, doesn't mean it isn't also a hobby. It's weird, that because people pay coders for some of the work they do, expecting money gets wrapped up in what is a hobby for so many.

Programming is fun for a lot of people. They love the process, enjoy the reading and learning, get a kick out of things like optimising code for a speed boost. IMHO that's awesome. So few people have any real interests, so if you have one, indulge it.

Just call it what it is - a hobby - and reframe your thinking. No other hobbies are indulged because we expect to make money directly out of them, e.g. no one playing soccer in a park expects to go pro, they just love playing. Why should hobby coding be different?

Reframing it as a hobby changes the equation from $0.01 an hour, to "OMG, someone, anyone, wanted to give me money to indulge my hobby!" Then what starts as a time and money sink becomes instead what you live for, and a positive in your life.
Maybe it's more a general complaint about cars. If the city has been requiring free parking spaces then it has been effectively paying for people to own cars.

In general I can see why certain leaderships would wish for less cars for broader reasons. Cars are wasteful and consume precious resources. They kill people, both directly, and indirectly. They discourage people from walking and cycling - both are good ways to increase livability and safety of a community. Finally, cars contribute to the damage we are doing to the planet. Some leaders care about the environment, or at least pretend to for votes.
Two things are the core problems IMO. Defacto price controls and cartel like business processes.
With all due respect, the idea that "several counties in Europe add a space before a full-stop" is bizarre. Which countries? Have you had a look at news media website from those countries to check? At the very most it's a mistake more common in European writers that you've worked with, but I can assure you it's not deliberate. Also note that in the examples given the space before the full-stop also means no space after it, which indicates a misplacement rather than an extra space.
Indeed, that's very true. I've experienced first hand trying to market something that I haven't finished imagining. But that's the whole point, you have to start before you've finished, even though it is hard.

It's difficult to market in general, at any stage of doneness. Marketing can be hard, boring, frustrating, and not fun. It's especially tempting as a dev to think that if you just make the product better, people will see it, and recognize its amazingness, and it'll go viral and market itself. It's tempting to keep adding features and making the product better. But that strategy doesn't work, it's important to buckle down and do the marketing, otherwise nobody will ever know about your game or product, no matter how good, and no matter how done it is.

Next things we are thinking about at betaworks
> For example, it would be no problem to box cars in if vehicles could move on their own to let them out.

I'm somewhat uncomfortable with parking infrastructure that assumes that all the cars are working and "gassed up." If the car boxing mine in is left to sit in the parking garage for a few months (as might happen in, say, an airport's long-term parking lot), its battery will likely go flat and it'll be incapable of getting out of my way.

Even having automatic standardized charger coupling for every parking space wouldn't really work, since the car boxing mine in could have just plain rusted.

Current infrastructure doesn't have this problem: if the car beside mine can't get out of the garage on its own, that's between the garage and a tow truck, but is no problem of mine.
The guy thinks the one month is a generous amount of time to give a woman to recover from childbirth while taking of a baby at the same time.

If it is mandatory, it is not a tip. My old boss told me how he was at a dinner with our Australian overlords (long story) and they said nobody will leave any tip.

If a tip is mandatory, it is a service charge. I don't go to the extreme of never tipping but I usually do not tip if the bill has an itemized service charge.

Services that are "out of network" are not optional.
