I wish it was just a joke... over here, the same politicians will tell you that "clean coal" is the future and the solution to "clean" the planet (no, it's not another dirty joke).

Actually, our current Prime Minister brought a "nice big hunk of black coal" to the House of Representatives one day (before he became the Prime Minister).

Back to technology, the company responsible for our national broadband (NBN Co), has bought 21 million metres of copper cable (enough to wrap around Australia one and a half times). That's our "high-speed" broadband network.

But hey, one of our previous prime ministers still thinks that high-speed Internet is to watch porn only, so there was no need to replace the old and inefficient copper with fibre.

At this point, I don't know if this is an Old Man Government or an Old Man Country, because enough people vote for these politicians, so they stay in power.
Advertisers allege Facebook hid the fact that no one watches video ads
That's true. We're not writing code in stone tablets; at any point in time you can just dig in and change what you wrote before. It's infinitely easier if that code is simple, because was written straight to the point, instead of being wrapped in large abstractions.
I like various, older compression algorithms: Huffman, LZ77/LZSS, LZ78/LZW.
Yes, as I wrote in one of the three other threads about this co-ordinated release, the Right Thing isn't a list but a minimum version setting, and if you really want it, maybe a maximum.

Programs like web servers that expose a list here are doing that because the libraries they use did that, not because it makes any sense to configure it this way.

Of course the real fix is to change libraries to offer an appropriate API but handling the distance between what a pre-existing library does out off the box and what users want/need is the whole point of application software.
> That leaves only IE11/Edge with polyfills.

what polyfills are you talking about? And no, Polymer is not a polyfill for custom element. Please link me to a library that will polyfill the entire shadow DOM and Custom Element spec so that I can write the same code without polyfills on platforms that support both specs and only load the polyfills on platforms that do not.

Your health data isn’t really private.

Various third parties have real-time access to your hospital admissions and prescriptions, in some cases before your insurer.

As an example, when my wife was admitted to the hospital at 8 weeks for a miscarriage that almost killed her, the level of detail provided to data brokers allowed Enfamil to Fedex a big sample box of formula to us on what would have been the due date of the baby.

No consent was given or needed.

To make that happen, I created something that I like to call Yabbos: Yet another browser-based operating system.

It is very often overlooked, but "The Little Golden Calf" is awesome. It is an amazingly fun read yet it is full of deep insights into pre-war Soviet Union's everyday life. The character is basically a superhero who goes through this society as a hot knife through butter. Yet it is much more serious than "Twelve Chairs" which is basically a sitcom.
> On the contrary, I associate an appreciation of brutalism with those who post staunch free-market capitalist comments.

I find that surprising. I associate them with architectural symbols of neoliberalism, namely modernist architecture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_architecture). Libertarians, I associate with the weird branch of modernist architecture that builds everything out of glass and trees and matt white surfaces and everywhere looks like Dubai. Perhaps a subset of contemporary architecture? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_architecture)
Weatherproofing your startup for any financial climate (the 3rd way)
Yup. I wish we could travel up this continuum, but then the real problem shows up: you need to figure out a way to stop health service providers (and their providers) from sucking your general insurance budget dry. Otherwise, you'll find that an increasing amount of people can't afford their payment.

I suppose since it's open source, then there is nothing stopping anyone from porting it to Vue?
That's the implication that I was going for. As someone who's studied data science and modeling I agree with this wholeheartedly.
I would also vote for FFT. It's amazing how widely it's used and what sort of tricks you can do in frequency domain. Multiplying polynomials? Simple! Multiple 2D projections of a 3D object? Just FFT them, do a couple of simple steps and you will get a 3D model.
Nice. What are you thinking for optimizing for embedded use? In my opinion the main challenge for neural networks on microcontrollers is the amount of memory needed for weights.

- Quantizing the weights to lower precision is an easy gain. CMSISNN (which uTensor will use on Cortex-Mx) uses 8 bit fixed-point.

- Utilizing sparse weights from regularization (L1,L0) may also give some gains.

But apart from these I think more innovative things will be needed?
Thanks, I was just wondering since I don't really see the point in rewriting between dynamic languages. Aside from a few things being easier in each (async being an example) they're basically the same to me.

You can fire at will for the first 4 month, renewable once, so practically 8 month, for IT people.
It's plenty of time to determine whether someone is fit for a job or not.

If you want to fire someone after those 8 month, you indeed have to justify your decision (economical, huge mistake from the employee, common accord) and follow the process, but it's doable as long as you actually have a justification

I loved that algorithm because of its elegance and simplicity and also as you pointed out about the data stream. It would be fun to implement this as hardware block and that was what it was intended for i.e. on the fly compression and decompression between interfaces.
There's always been a lower class working terrible jobs. Driving for Uber or working fast food for $8/hour is a terrible job, but it's not as bad as working in a steel mill or coal mine.
Yes, this only say no proper check has been done and enforced. There's a documentary called Leaf of Faith that shows that a little. People ~manufacture too many things without any testing and sell it. Don't buy that you could get anything from salmonella to weird chemicals.. noone knows. Some do testing but it's rare. About the safety of the compounds in the leaf, some researchers say it taps in the same receptors but with less activation factor in cells (maybe the reason behind the lack of addiction).
I don't see why it would interfere with autocompletion - the keystrokes are passed onto the browser, after all.

Interfering with focus might be more noticeable, although Windows 10 has made this much less obvious than it used to be.

It does rather drive home the extent to which the "desktop" model is at odds with the user being able to run multiple mutually hostile applications from different sources. And sometimes the ability to read and inject keyboard input is legitimate.
True. But that's because it's the only example of the style and people like it (even many people who generally dislike Brutalism think habitat 67 is nice). The original idea was that it was going to be a prototype for future housing projects but that never happened.
I’m surprised no one mentioned it yet, but how about getting a “normal” job with office hours? This would destroy your free time and force you to focus on the essentials. You might be someone who needs a well structures environment to function properly.

And also, I’d search for a mentor instead of a coach. I would want to learn from a successful person and try to apply that to my own life, rather than having to report to someone about things I already know.
Well, regardless of the adverb, you would need a modifier. Avoiding these technical considerations was part of Orwell's point I think.

So I guess we could nitpick over "entirely" and "basically" just as easily. Maybe he should have just singled out the engineers and other pedants.
I remember when this "Nobel Prize" was announced I immediately started reading the paper and trying to figure out how it could work in code.

Very excited to see it being appreciated by more computer scientists! I need to look into it again for sure!

I haven't heard the original joke in full, but the way you wrote it, it very much applies - umbrellas are somewhat useful when it's sunny too, so you get some benefit from lending one. Similarly, health insurance isn't useless, but it definitely tries to not be there when needed most.
Software Quality and the Danger of Professional Code Monkeys
Maybe it's a bit disingenuous to claim that's your primary goal when you've gone to the trouble of designing a logo and adding "testimonials" to your README.

And Kenneth Reitz isn't "just another developer". He's well known, and isn't shy to mention his `requests` library ("uses the actual Requests you know and love").

Cynically, you might say the "just for learning" phrase is a great way of avoiding comparisons to existing frameworks initially. The thing is, it could compare favorably. For one thing, Flask and Falcon support/have to support (?) old Python versions - Falcon even says they support Python 2.6, which is ridiculous (EDIT: doesn't seem to be true from the tox file, but the website still claims it does). All that compatibility stuff provides zero value for new projects.

Background tasks are a great idea. Being a bit opinionated isn't necessarily a bad thing either; Flask would benefit hugely if they recommend people use app factories and blueprints from day 1. It adds almost no overhead, but makes building the application out much, much easier in the future.
The solution to this problem is single payer. Where the insurer (government) now has negotiating power on prices because they’re the only game in town.

Reading Habit Analysis Using Pocket API and Python
Boston City Hall is not only ugly on the outside, it's ugly on the inside. For one of the meeting areas (city council, I believe) they have this wooden furniture and some tapestries and old paintings on the concrete walls, but it can't make that cold space warm.

Outside, Government Center plaza channels the wind coming off the nearby harbor. It's also the site of one of the most infamous images from the 1970s bussing crisis (https://www.npr.org/2016/09/18/494442131/life-after-iconic-p...) which tainted that space early in its existence.
Bulgarian here, Randian types around here prefer interbellum modernist architecture to the full blown Brutalism.

As for the more extreme postwar architecture, it feels quite homey to me. Although I like it best when it's subverted by the inhabitants, humans living and leaving their mark, think flowers growing in a concrete crack.
I'll check it out, but the second portion of your comment seems questionable.

Trending to a local minimum or maximum in modeling can be caused by small changes at certain points dependent on time and be completely negligible at other points. Without understanding the model:
1. We can't even pretend to understand causality
2. We can't infer the complex state at an individual time or even the magnitude of a push.

You make it sound like everyone who immigrated from the Windies from the 50s to the 70s has been specifically and vindictively booted out when ... well, nothing like that has happened at all.

Sure, there have been quite a few unfortunate and well-publicised outlier cases of people situationally caught between bureaucratic cracks, but as someone who lives in London, I assure you that thousands of long-since immigrated grandparents aren't getting booted out to satisfy some arbitrary ‘anti-immigration’ whim.

It's a mess for sure, but I'm not sure it's as you appear to be trying to paint.

It doesn't sound like the cars collided. The original story [1] includes more details, but it definitely sounds like a collision was avoided, and that avoidance caused the spine injury and the Camry pinwheeling.

> The cars continued speeding down the freeway side by side. The Camry’s driver jerked his car onto the right shoulder. Then, apparently trying to avoid a guardrail, he veered to the left; the Camry pinwheeled across the freeway and into the median. Levandowski, who was acting as the safety driver, swerved hard to avoid colliding with the Camry, causing Taylor to injure his spine so severely that he eventually required multiple surgeries.

> The Prius regained control and turned a corner on the freeway, leaving the Camry behind.

Made all the more jarring by the general Harry Potterness of the surrounding city.
It's not necessary to have a nuanced relationship with brutalism (or any other thing an architect might came up with).

It was just a random aesthetic theory, with some random justifications.

People don't hate it "blindly" (e.g. as some mimetic superstition), they hate it at a gut level, because they find it ugly.

Even if they haven't heard of others describing such a building as ugly, and not knowing what brutalism is, they'd still find it ugly.

Just show some brutalist building pictures to some common Joe that knows neither, and he'll call it ugly with 99% chance.

This common Joe doesn't hate "brutalism" (which he ignores) and is not copying some other's opinion on brutalism, he just hates how that building looks.
Show HN: NotePlan – Notes-Based Calendar and Todos [Public Beta]
Public Beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/mrSbc937

Hey there, NotePlan is a different kind of calendar where you plan your life based on notes for every day in your calendar. You can add todos into your notes, check them off, re-schedule etc. Besides the calendar notes you have a place for notes not related to a date where you can track your projects and other things. Review past days and open todos. NotePlan forces you to take a decision which avoids piling up todos in an endless list. You can also use it as a journal or log to capture what happened during the day, your thoughts, successes, etc. Or just dump anything coming up to get it out of your mind. Besides that it syncs with your iCloud calendars and reminders, so that you don't need to switch back to another calendar.

NotePlan 2.0 for iOS is almost done and we have a public beta running. Feel free to join: https://testflight.apple.com/join/mrSbc937.

Let me know if you have feedback!

Doing that for one dependency is bad enough, but for 100s it's a nightmare.

I used to do similar for a programming language, but it was around 30-40 attendees. Stayed at a hotel which had a large room with whiteboard, table and chairs so at to be arranged as required. Mainly run as a training event and attendees volunteered to show how they tackled problems or met requirements, so it covered everything from transitioning database files from ISAM to SQL variants, learning COM objects, creating own controls and more and was windows based. It proved popular because all presentations where submitted before the event so the powerpoint presentations could be stored on a cd/DVD along with their notes and example apps. This was so that if you were at the back of the room you could still run through on your own laptop what was being shown on the projector and also allowed you to work at your pace whilst also having something to take home with you. Some people learn from being tutored (theory) others learnt from the examples (practical), and most learnt from a bit of the both.
Having attended virtual online remote conferences, you dont get the same networking & relationship building as you do with the in the flesh conference which is important. Virtual conferences dont allow for the chit chat that you get in the flesh and this aspect of networking is hugely understated. It can build life long friendships and working relationships whilst also being useful for planning what to discuss/be taught in for future meetings. Whether its as relaxed as the type where one goes skiing is upto the group but having annual or biannual get togethers in the flesh is so much more productive because you get the spontaneous chit chat, inspiration that you miss from the sterile online remote conferences, not to mention the ability to pick up the phone, drop an email to ask someone something during the months between the meetings.
>What's more interesting to me, is why HN is so attracted to Brutalism?

It's just a term that got into fame (from a brutalist web design trend and manifesto) recently (a few years ago), and as thus it's in our mid-term memories from our web surfing, so folks on HN periodically rediscover it and post links about it here.

No special attraction to Brutalism.

> Blue collar jobs are more rewarding and the work environment can be better for all the reasons you described but the money is worth it IMO. If the money were the same I'd hand in my two weeks and get my welding certs.

A few years back a large series of personal tragedies hit me at once which coincided with being screwed over at a job. I decided to leave tech for a while, and spent a few months in Portland becoming a certified bicycle mechanic & frame welder.

This lead to me starting a bicycle company building very solid bikes for obese riders (like myself) who were afraid to ride on the roads. I lost many thousands of dollars and had to go back to software for the financial aspects, but I have never had as much joy and satisfaction in tech as I did building bicycles.
