True, they can be mentally addictive as well.

Your example isnt about addiction though. its that most likely you are kinda hungry, want to do something with your hands while you are thinking, or a nervous tick.

mariam webster defines addiction as follows

> : compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (such as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal

> broadly : persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful

personally I would not even require the substance beeing harmfull. So yes, you can imho be addicted to peanuts, but finishing the bowl on your desk is not that.

2012: Graduated with CS degree from top 10 public school, 2.9 GPA

2013: Mid-sized co in Texas, Software engineer, $70k salary, $20k RSUs vesting over 4 years, ~5k/yr cash bonuses

2014: Same company, bump to $75k salary

2015: Same company, bump to $80k salary

Later 2015: Jumped to seeded startup in Texas, software engineer, $70k salary, 50-70 hours/wk, aspirational but worthless equity options

2017: Same company, bump to $90k, 60-80 hours/wk, VP title (though doing work of a CTO), aspirational but worthless equity bonuses.

2018: Same company, no salary change, could request higher salary but have not because I am using it to make myself to work smarter rather than harder. Earning equity bonuses upon achieving targets. Generally working fewer hours now and have hired in some help so while responsibilities and problems are harder, work weeks are not so long.

Expecting a salary increase to range of $110-130k within 12 months (else will quit and work on my own business ideas). I believe I could obtain a $130k salary elsewhere now but have not interviewed to to find out and am not inclined to.
Amusingly, it seems you and the other reply are contradicting each other, saying both that an embedding is a specific type of projection and that a projection is a specific type of embedding.

When I was learning about SVMs way back when, we said "non-linear projection" instead of "embedding".
I'm glad this got pushed through - environmentalists in Hawaii can be an interesting bunch, and often choose to blockade things that are high profile simply to get their message out, even if the ecological impact is highly minimal. A great example of this in the past was the Hawaii Superferry[1], which was blockaded by environmentalists who said that it would damage the reef. Which while it might be true, standard shipping freighters already travelled the same route and had a higher ecological impact than the lighter dual-hulled ferry, which would have taken a lot of the shipping volume of the more damaging ships. By blocking the ferry, the environmentalists got a lot of publicity, but ultimately the reef ended up suffering more as the ferry got shut down.

With this, the ecological impact will be highly minimal (based on the impact of the existing observatory and the environmental studies done after the plans were drawn up), but it's very high profile so a natural target for them. I'm very glad that the court pushed it through as they had no data to back up their claims that that it would pollute the mountain. The claim that it interfered with traditional and cultural practices has some merit, but that's only because the entire mountain of Mauna Kea is considered sacred - nothing about the peak itself is special. Also, there's already a ton of observatories up there[2], so it wouldn't be changing the status quo in any way. Overall I personally saw their protests as more political than based on arguments with merit.

I have found the HN crowed has a rosey view on trade jobs that doesn't seem to reflect reality. Family members of mine are employed primarily by trades (lots of plumbers, some carpenters and electrician's) and a lot of what you say is spot on. There are certainly cases where they can make a lot of money, but it's definitely not easy not a golden ticket that I see a lot of HN comments make it out to be.

Living next to tourists is unpleasant and unwanted, and is so because tourists don't really care about anything other than their short-term visit. AirBnB is not correlated with that, AirBnB is a direct facilitator of it.

Allowing people to rent out their apartment doesn't make property more affordable, it allows people to bid up rents with AirBnB income and it prices out people on the margins unable or unwilling to rent out their own home.

I found a review here: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/review-system76-oryx-pr...

No mention of machine noise, just that the speakers were not impressive.
I think the BBC report that I submitted earlier this morning [0] did a better job of discussing the environmentalists' case. In particular, it linked to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs's civil complaint [1] which is probably the best version of the arguments against the telescope. Summary: the complaint alleges that mismanagement of the telescope site, including poor financial planning and procedural issues, has led to a history of hazardous material spills and car accidents, and that failure to implement the 2009 Comprehensive Management Plan constitutes a breach of contract. There is also a longer explanation of why Mauna Kea is sacred to native Hawaiians.

For the record, I strongly support building the TMT. But the opposition isn't totally illegitimate and I think it's worth covering both sides fairly.

One of the major selling points of making a traditional (ascii) roguelike is that development is all mechanics and programming. I understand that this isn't the current mainstream view of the genre, but its a great approach to making a game by yourself if you don't have much experience with art. Mechanics are also much harder than they appear on the surface, and art, once you're well practiced, is usually pretty straight forward in comparison to programming or game design.

I also understand that on HN games are mostly viewed as commercial opportunities, but if you're asking about basic pixel and game art concepts your art will probably not sell your game. Most roguelikes are hobbyist projects, or at least started as hobbyist projects, and the point of this talk is to foster hobbyist development. If art is a bottleneck, make a good game without art and then partner with an artist.

That said, Chris Hildenbrand's tutorials (http://www.2dgameartguru.com/) have been popular among the HN crowd. There are some good free roguelike tilesets on opengameart.org (Dawnlike is great https://opengameart.org/content/dawnlike-16x16-universal-rog...) and oryxdesignlab.com has some good cheap tilesets. This reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/comments/436sop/roguel...) is more comprehensive and includes both of those resources.
I just moved from the UK to the US, and it looks like my options are pretty bad in terms of bank:

* I am not allowed to use Monzo without a UK residence.

* To top up Revolut, I need to pay 3% of fee to Revolut and 3% of fee to Chase. On top of that it is not instantaneous.

I still continue to use my Monzo card here because it's just so practical (and free), but at some point I'm really expecting something similar to disrupt banks in the US.

If you see that orange card in San Francisco, that's probably me ;)
Ah.

Thanks for the link, it is an impressive article and while I work in IT, the electronic may be a bit off my league (I just solder a bit around IoT devices and flash them).

I realized with your comment that I have never actually tested the plugs when they are next to each other (say, on an extender). I did not expect there would be a physical limitation below the advertized 1Gbps (I now all I got 400 Mbps I think but I am not at home to get that with a local iperf loop). If they cannot deliver close to that I would be pissed off :)

I have, again from memory, a 2x1Gbps tplink pair.

This said, my power cabling is sub par so this was the obvious reason for me for the lower bandwidth.
I hate dealing with unexpected legal costs, especially when cash-strapped, as I had to when raising angel cash. Maybe I was naive, but sometimes people don't know how much it costs just to raise money (something that seems really standard) and that if you can't pay it, you can't close the deal. However taking it out of the funds given is a bit more fair at least, but make sure people are aware of it so they don't feel cheated.

I would imagine someone would want to have their own lawyer look over everything anyway for this stuff before signing anything, but anything you can do to reduce cost is good. It's so minor and a necessity at the start, but has the huge chance to set off the relationship and optics on a bad start.

It's like you are giving free consulting resources (your money though instead of time) for the chance to close a deal you want as the investor, keep the client happy and make it as lubricated a process as possible. Eat it so that it doesn't turn into something that feels like an early scam attempt that'll ruin the future of the relationship.

jQuery plugins are extremely powerful. Look at fullcalendar.io as great example. Web 2.0 was entirely built upon that. I hate to see people dismissing jQuery and its legacy as just a library. There is a huge community built around jQuery and thousands of plugins.

It ain't new and shiny but you can build anything with it.
In fact, today jQuery is used on 97% of websites* while React and Vue are around 0.2%. I imagine that will change over time.

More than that - pop culture. I hardly know any rappers or RnB singers in the 21st century but I can name, for a start, a number of contemporary philosophers, computer languages and their creators, artists and composers. I don't think I'm in the minority for not knowing pop culture? Still, impressive project from the author and I understand that the result is ultimately pop-culture skewed, given the restrictions.
The most common use is probably as a determinative. Ancient Egyptian, much like many Semitic languages, omits the vowels in a word in writing. Determinatives are ideograms that disambiguate between several words with the same consonants but different meanings.

That's an interesting fact. As someone with no knowledge of how languages are formed it makes me wonder why have a written language that purposefully omits vowels if other characters would need to be introduced in their place for disambiguation? What was the point of removing vowels?
The auto bailouts in the late-08/early-09 timeframe were structured as warrant purchases (similar to options), and the government did see upside.

Absolutely agreed. 2013-2014 was the peak of Quora and one could find a lot of informative and interesting answers there. Now its just about self glorification. Even if you ask a simple question about an algo, someone will end up writing a long prose about how they struggled to understand that and then it hit them in the shower about how it actually works.
Across the water in Scotland, the most common pencils in school were black and yellow striped -- the Staedtler Noris, back then made in Wales and stamped "Made in Great Britain". These were the ones the school provided and also the ones parents bought. Still a great pencil today, but no longer made in the UK.

High-quality ones, used by a couple of artists and a draughtsman my parents knew, were blue: Staedtler Mars Lumographs, again made then in the UK, but now only made in Germany. Still an even better pencil than the Noris.

I remember Berol "Handwriting" pens, red with a white nib that produced blue ink, but never liked them or used them much. Berol had colouring pencils sewn up when I was in school.
Hi mlucy,

I agree with what you're saying here. I just wonder how it would work in practice.

So imagine I have this monster text or image, and I want to know if it looks like another text or image.

I send each to Basilica, it gives me back two vectors and I compare the vectors.

I use the cosine of the vectors as a similarity score, and lets say it comes out to be 0.6.

However, I think this is too low, and I want to tweak my algorithm.

At this point, doesn't the question of how the vector was generated come to the front. Did you get rid of common words, how did you treat stems, and so on? Or did what biases did you introduce into training?

Furthermore, these questions come up right away, and they seem fundamental to whatever the main practice is.

In other words, can I even experiment or start without knowing how the word2vec works?
Our school Staedler HB pencils were all yellow and black such as these: https://www.glsed.co.uk/product/stationery/pencils/blacklead...

The occassional ones were red and black, I think those were more likely to be 'B' or '2B' ones, but it's been longer than I can remeber since I used such a pencil.
> switch away from a current account with a decent interest rate and added extras like insurance, or cashback on bills

what. First, there are no offers with decent interest rates out there. Second, Revolut has insurance. Third, Monzo is so awesome that most people just use it even though it's a debit card.

I think Australians and so on they know. The Canadian accent, compared to standard American, is much more subtle, but even after living in Canada for 2 years I got so used to it that I wasn't thinking about it in daily conversation. However when I left and came back a year later on vacation it was back to being obvious.
It seems like many leaders fall down when it comes to protecting the company. It seems like leaders may fail to understand that no one person makes or breaks a company, not a great company anyway. There are many more people willing and able to step up, then their are opportunities to step up into - no matter what the job is.

I find it impossible to believe that lawyers are giving sub-optimal advice. Generally, it's probably situations where lawyers say "x is the best practice", leaders say, "what else do you have" and they end up with some sort of compromising, risk-accepting solution - a la any number of Google recent announcements or any other number of companies that bury things until it makes the headlines.

> I think perhaps this is a side-effect of the barrier to entry being lowered so far that it's feasible to be a single person game developer, and I think being a single person anything that requires for technical skill and artistic ability is hard, but also easy for an individual to fool themselves about (at least for a time).

It was possible to be a single-person game developer since forever. The first games were made by individuals, and at no point there was a time where a single individual coudln't make a decent game. Of course, that requires knowing what battles to fight - you won't make an AAA shooter yourself, but you _might_ make a fun shooter, or you might make a small AAA-quality level alone.

Where the barrier to entry seems to be lowering is in technical skills per se. Each new generation of tools enables people with less knowledge to take on more ambitious projects. 15 years ago, building a 3D world required some understanding of 3D graphics, today you can slap something in Unity from asset store, not stopping at any point to understand what's going on.

I'm not entirely sure whether I think this is good or bad. So let me put it this way: it's good that more people can make games, and it's easier to learn how to do it. It's bad that this bred a mass influx of shovelware and people who don't want to learn.
If you talk with U.S. educators, you'll find them passionate and knowledgeable, with strong opinions about how to teach their students best, yet little flexibility or finances to make any changes. Many of them feel locked in by tight curriculum standards and a need to teach to the test, so the result is to just maintain the status quo. Meanwhile we see many countries around the world pulling ahead in the OECD PISA rankings. Philanthropy can help through pushing and prodding, exploring new techniques, highlighting new research, and funding tests and experiments... and there will be failures as well as successes. But to not strive to improve our education system is irresponsible - generations benefit from each small increase in capability or effectiveness. I for one hope that these organizations continue striving to improve learning for future students. Who else has the resources -- and the will -- to do it?
