skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
One use case could be a data visualization similar to what I built in [1]

To build the visualization in [1], I used 3 datasets in csv format from a kaggle competition [2], and I implemented the charts using dc.js and Leaflet.js. The charts were interactive and I could managed to filter the data even in the map.

The largest dataset was 284 MB, which was still ok and didn't crash my browser.

There were 2 drawbacks to my approach: 1- All the data was in the browser. If my data was bigger (~1GB), then it would crash my browser. 2- If I deploy the visualization to a server (for example AWS), then it would make the rendering extremely slowly as it has to download all the data to the browser...

Not at all, that is an oversimplification.

Lisp Machines allowed for multiple applications, the Emacs was only related to the REPL and text editing, aka Zmacs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zmacs

I don't use Emacs regularly any longer, but it used to lack the ability to embedded widgets or graphics on its REPL, one of the reasons why I used to be a XEmacs user instead.

Back to Lisp Machine, you have to imagine that the whole OS is written in a mix of Assembly and Lisp, nothing else.

Then the whole OS was exposed to the developer, as they were single user workstations.

Imagine the ability to access any running application from the REPL and interact with it in some way, for example, reformat the selected image in the word processing application. As very basic example.

Something that on modern systems is only kind of replicated with COM/.NET alongside PowerShell, and it fails short of what was possible.

When an application would trap at any level, the debugger pane gets invoked and you are able to fix the error, followed by redoing the action that triggered the error.

Also the OO system was much more powerful than what most OO programming languages are capable of. You had multiple inheritance, traits (aka protocols), aspects, contracts, multiple dispatch available.

Worked at a few startups gobbled up by Google. Second time decided to stick around. I think Google is an overall incredible company to work for. Far from perfect (and getting worse in some important areas of employee happiness), but I'd do it again.

When you realize that the point of the F35 is to be a realistic Iron-man suit for the pilot, then you realize what is really going on.

There are some issues of pork-spending as well. A lot of representatives who weren't on board with the project got jobs delivered to their districts instead. (IE: Build the engine in this state, so that the citizens you represent get a job-creator in their region). Sure, politics is a bit dirty, but that's how you get things done today.

It doesn't seem like the most efficient project, but it has to be a project that everyone supports monetarily. F35, for all of its faults, won't have any issues financially due to how politics were played. But a lot of people are uncomfortable with how politics works at all.
That was a no-OS situation. sleep() is usually implemented as a calculated number of cycles of `nop`s in those SDKs.
Context ctx = Context.newBuilder("R").allowAllAccess(true).build();
Value rFunction = context.eval("R",
"function(table) { " +
" table <- as.data.frame(table);" +
" cat('The whole data frame printed in R:\n');" +
" print(table);" +
" cat('---------\n\n');" +
" cat('Filter out users with ID>2:\n');" +
" print(table[table$id > 2,]);" +
"}");
User[] data = getUsers();
rFunction.execute(new UsersTable(data));

The example above combined with "JEP 326: Raw String Literals" and an IDE that understands Java with embedded R code would be cool to play with.
I'd be interested in a similar comparison for startup success. Do American startups fare better than others around the world?
"Consumers take out loans and save less when unemployment is low and they feel safe in their job prospects" - this likely applies to the upper 20% (my estimate) who have enough savings to survive an emergency and can afford to save a little less to put in the new kitchen. The majority of people especially those who cant afford a $400 emergency save less and take out CC debt because they need it to survive until the end of the month.

Rents do go up when people can afford it and then there is the very real possibility of a a large portion of people suddenly not being able to afford it anymore and evictions spike. People afford it because they have to live somewhere if all rents in the area are high and they cant afford to move, they cut elsewhere. The 35% of people that cant afford $400 cant afford to move so they will eat the rent increase of $50 per month because they have no choice.

Chapter 11's are an indicator, perhaps not a strong one but as business consolidates, employee choice is affected.

Most people reading will recognize that it is a standard procedure to ground everything until you understand the risk. In this case the risk is a faulty fuel line, and apparently there is a test that will let you know in the field if you have it or not so you can return the plane to service immediately if the test comes up negative.

There is a remarkable amount of disinformation that is spread around about this plane. My father (who is ex-Air Force) assumes it is because it is so far beyond what "opposing" forces can field they will do anything to delay its operation. I don't know where it comes from but I do not that the relative transparency of the US procurement process makes it easy to talk about problems which are later addressed and never return. You can compare that to a more secretive system where all of the kinks are worked out behind the curtain and the end product is presented ready to fly. It "feels" better from a marketing sense but I haven't read anything that suggests the Russians or the Chinese have any fewer issues when they build a bunch of new technology into a plane, it just gets reported on less.

Well, "everyone" accepts that we "need" to give lots of money to the richest citizens to stave off market collapses, so it doesn't seem like a very big leap to give money to poor citizens as well. But somehow it's politically impossible.

For instance, in the last crash, the US government could have chosen to bail out homeowners instead of just banks.

> for every person who leaves the middle class to become poor, more than one person leaves to become upper middle class.

I'm not sure this is true, and the only way I can see it possibly be is because "middle class" is a very fuzzy category that's defined relatively to others, so it can grow in absolute terms by e.g. lowering that relative standard. Income inequality has steadily grown, not shrunk. Concentration of capital at the top, and concentration of income from that capital, has also grown.

> not how to make the well off less valuable through arbitrary productivity restrictions.

You're looking at it the wrong way. It's not about restrictions on productivity. It is about redistribution of capital, and prevention of it getting concentrated too much in one hands at the point where labor is going to lose access to more and more of it to feed themselves via wages. I don't even thing that capping ownership of capital is the right way to do so. Taxing the hell out of it would be a better idea.

And education and training is not going to do anything to the fundamental problem of 100 people competing for 50 jobs.

Interesting last point: who where a sizable liberal faction in Roman Empire around the year 300? Answer: early Christians, the same group with fanatical penchants who mercilessly eviscerated the Alexandrian mathematician/philosopher Hypatia. Under Constantine, Christianity became a recognized religion of Rome, with Constantine one of its chief advocates. Curiously, who are the most conservative block today?
But the question is how do people play the game when they're not playing a game?

QE was more of a way to keep the system alive than a "broad monetary stimulus".

Giving money directly to the people in a crisis creates ultra-high-velocity spending and massive inflation. People rush to the stores buying up wares expecting the money to become worth far less soon. Store owners hold back stock and raise prices, fulfilling the fears of the people. A similar situation is currently unfolding in Turkey, by the way.
I also buy the data, but not the click-bait conclusion.

How do you know that? If the economy had an extra trillion dollars to allocate, there would be a massive number of alternative activities these workers would have had available.

Either the tax money would have been collected anyway, and spent somewhere. Or the tax money would not have been collected and it would have been "naturally" allocated by the population.

I wouldn't say the F-35 is useless. It contains a breathtaking integration of advanced technologies. There are benefits to that R&D. It's also an incredibly capable platform–the principle complaint is it's too capable, that we could have gotten more bang for our bucks with more less-capable planes.

2FA over SMS is fine. It’s not the most secure thing, but it’s an improvement over just having a password.

The problem is when people forget the “2” part and allow SMS to be a substitute for having the password. That should never be done.

The related problem is that, as a used, it’s hard to tell when some service wants your number for proper 2FA, or when they want it as a separate authentication mechanism they just happen to call “2FA.”
SBCL calls it type propagation, which is fairly descriptive. (At least in SBCL, it's implemented as a data flow analysis that propagates constraints on the types of lexical variables: https://www.pvk.ca/Blog/2013/11/22/the-weaknesses-of-sbcls-t...).

Made and Distributed in the U.S.A.: Online Disinformation
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.

It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.

It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.

It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.

We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.

We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

Note sure where you are taking this thread, you are right 9-0 is the most common vote, but the majority of all cases are still split, either way the point is...do you think you can readily tell clients the outcome and legal fees of a case given case?

I think the answers will be no...it depends.

Can you tell them it will result in a default judgment? Can you tell them how costly just the discovery process will be? Can you tell them if the trial court will be the end or if there will be an appeal? Can you tell them if they obtain a judgment if the will have to pursue collection of the judgement through yet more litigation?

Not to mention that owning stock in the company you work for is not a very diversified portfolio. If Amazon crashed and filed for bankruptcy for some reason, you would lose both your job and your savings. That doesn't seem very likely given Amazon's size, but look at Sears.
Agreed -- humans aren't reassessing the utility of a given pattern of action (e.g. group cooperation vs. selfish behaviour) every time they engage in it, they are building mental heuristics that permit quick decisions without re-evaluating the priors (system 1 vs. system 2 thinking, if you will).

Under that model, it's expected that humans would have a similar attitude to group/commons cooperation in a game as they would in their real-world interactions.

Taking the next step from this observation -- I wonder how much meta-level discussion would be required to break this tendency? Could we apply such meta-level discussion to the real-world, too, and improve cooperation in the societies where these old strategies perhaps don't apply as much now?
Well in the worst case, we can just have the gov't allocate it like they did here. Just have it go to building infrastructure or something. Repair our old bridges and roadways. Or maybe fund some schools. Or at least put build something cool and shiny for scientific research? Like fusion or space travel or particle accelerators.

Much of the scariest XSS (aka, most difficult to prevent) comes from the DOM these days.

Edge, FF and Chrome don't follow the spec as well as they should, and the result is a lot of minor browser incompatibilities that are very hard to detect and fix.

Each browser is making modifications to the DOM spec, many of whom make introducing XSS and XSRF into a web app very easy.

Deep DOM and JS knowledge is a must have for pen testers these days.

You'll notice that many such systems deteriorate into a sub-optimal equilibrium because humans naturally have an "us" vs "them" or "me" vs "everybody-else" world view. You'll note that such experiments require the participants to be strangers.

I imagine this has an incredibly strong evolutionary origin, but I think it's interesting to note.

>This still kills the possibility of quickly collaborating with someone on a project in your free time. Any time you want to even start working on something together, you have to wait a couple of days for approval.

This depends on the project. If you and the project maintainer are ok with Google maintaining copyright over the code, there's a self-approval process that takes ~2 minutes.

And of course, that's only necessary if I'm working on the side project using company resources. If I'm not, I literally can't do the self-approval. There's only an issue if you want to maintain copyright should you want to monetize your product. Most hobby projects won't encounter those issues.
> QE had little to do with funding the government deficit.

This is demonstrably false. For a time the Fed was buying over $2 billion of long term debt per day [1]; bonds that had no hope of finding buyers on the open market. They were directly funding federal deficit spending with QE.

Looking at 10ks filed with the SEC for both from the end of 2017, FB reports 25k employees vs Google's 80k.

There is no breakdown on how many of those are engineers, but I would assume that the ratios are similar.

I was interested in looking, because that would be somewhat in line with the ratios I see in terms of resumes, though I don't have real numbers, it feels more like 15:1. I see resumes from google every week, FB... its so rare I can't even give you a consistent interval, once every few months?

> If what you do doesn't make an impact for customers and/or other teams in the organization, was it really worth doing?

The problem is that, at review time at Google, you have to be able to "quantify" the impact. Many types of impact are quantifiable (e.g. "Made server request scale from 100 query-per-second to 1,300 qps", "reduced code size by 30%", etc.).

It's much harder to measure, say, the impact of a refactor where you made the code easier to reason about and more maintainable, so that future work can be done on it more easily.

I witnessed the same thing at Google; I worked on a project that everyone joked only existed because the person who wrote it wanted promo, and the best way to get it was to design a very complex system, and convince others to adopt it. (He did get it, and promptly switched teams.)

Some things have been made better, though. I've heard that going from L4 → L5 now involves much more influence from your manager, since they would know and, without quantifying something like a refactor, can speak to the positive impact you had in a project.
You’re not wrong but the entire point here is efficiency. I have no doubt that allocated with the right teams we could inovate more with 500 million dollars. Or .5% of this project’s cost.
