The problem with granular classes is that you project won't scale in an efficient way. It also makes refactoring almost impossible.

On a small one page website, do use them. However in something more complex like an e-commerce website theme or a complex web app, you will regret it quickly.

<a class="text-xl rounded bg-orange pt-1 pb-1 pr-4 pl-4 text-white hover:text-white no-underline leading-loose" href="#">

is no better than

<a style="font-size:16px; border-radius:5px; background:orange; color: white; text-decoration: none;" href="#">

It is simply a fancy way to use inline styles.

One of the selling points of CSS is the ability to scale and refactor very quickly and easily. Class based frameworks remove all those benefits. Extracting components and building sementically is the solution. As I said in my previous comment, that framework they are using supports it. They say it themselves:

“*While we strongly believe you can get a lot further with just utilities than you might initially expect, we don't believe that a dogmatic utility-only approach is the best way to write CSS.*”

I have worked on many contracts where the client came to us because their current web agency wanted to charge crazy prices to refresh their website's design (e-commerce websites change at least one a year). Almost every time, those projects are a pain for both the team and the client because the previous developer decided to be lazy and use classes or inline styles everywhere.
Yeah, the way they talk about this is admittedly confusing. The best way for me to think about it (from [1]) is to mentally add quotation marks around the word “image” whenever the methods mention it. Mathematically the data is stored in higher-dimensional tensors with one dimension representing genomic coordinates, another dimension representing the sequence depth (i.e. one row per sequence read), and additional dimensions representing features of the sequence (such as nucleoside identity, read direction, error probability, match/mismatch with the reference, etc). I use almost the same kinds of tensors for work that has no tangible relation to images or visualisation. It’s simply the most straightforward way of representing this data as a tensor.

But the similarity to images is so tantalising that even the paper’s methods [2] fall prey to this, even though the dimensionality and minor details are wrong. Furthermore, the term “pileup image” refers to a common way of visualising genome–read alignments [3]. The DeepVariant tensor is not a pileup image but it is very close. And the tensor can be converted in to an image [4] but as mentioned this requires some transformations (splitting the channels, and rescaling the values).

[2] I initially claimed the paper didn’t mention this. That’s wrong; apologies.

When I was hiking in Big Bend, TX, there was a lady with one of those Google Maps backpacks taking imagery for street view, presumably it was collecting other interesting data as well.
One way to fake a leading indicator is to increase headcount and cash burn rapidly. Those increases create a "hockey stick" graph. Just use that graph when pitching to investors.

You can also time it so that your ad spend doesn't hit until the next financial period, which makes it look like there is actual growth commensurate with the headcount increase and disproportionate (in a good way) to cash burn. After all, what kind of founder would increase headcount unless it was needed :)

Disclaimer: This works best when pitching a round after you have already got some early investors to help with the sales pitch to the next round of investors.
Very interesting... seems to basically learn that:

Faces -> some variety of flesh-colored from light to dark

Fabric/clothing -> blue

Sky -> blue

Vegetation -> green

Wood -> brown

Blank -> turquoise or tan

Small details -> fascinating variety of colors, but often a brilliant red

Which all seems fairly reasonable. For many things (like wood or skin) it seems accurate.

Obviously things like clothes come in such a variety of colors that there's simply no way at all to predict accurately, zero meaningful signal -- so if it settles on whatever the most common color is, it doesn't surprise me that would be blue.
Have their been any updates to this repository since the last time it was posted to hn?
I'm not talking about countries that have a more socialized, or social democratic, or even outright socialist system. I'm imagining the U.S. in its free enterprise self-made glory with stronger social safety nets, at least for the net most pressingly attached to employment status.
"Schools of thought" seems generous. Most of the opinion on the subject (aside from reasonable criticism of cack-handed implementation) is shallow and visceral.

That said, most of the evidence that at least has the dressing of empiricism favours Remain. There are two things that reliably help an economy, immigration and lower barriers to trade; Brexit damages them both, in favour of up-sides based largely on ideas relating to jam, so economists have fairly uniformly come down against it.
> This is where there is one fundamental thing lacking in all of technology, aside from Asimov: What are our first principles?

What are you referring to? The Three Laws? AFAIR they exist in order to explore how dumb the idea of them is in the first place. Such high-level rules don't map to reality at all.

A ruleset correctly encompassing human moral values is a complex and hard problem. It's so hard that we haven't even figured out the proper formalisms for it, not to mention that while all humans seem to share some basic moral values, it gets very muddy in the details.
7 Rising Leaders in the Crypto Industry You Need to Know
Whilst I agree with the general statement of this article, it seems the author doesnt understand that there are different kinds of "blockchain" than that used by bitcoin
I recently bout a new laptop (X1C6) and dual boot ubuntu 18.04, running the kde plasma desktop. It's the first truly out of the box dual boot Linux setup I've ever used that is actually really good. The one problem I have is that the laptop won't sleep automatically (it's an easy fix, but I'm lazily just clicking the suspend button manually if I unplug and take the laptop with me without shutting it off). The only reason I even installed plasma was because the scaling on gnome looked like crap and I didn't want to fiddle with it.

tldr; Ubuntu + Plasma is a great setup.
Carlo seems to rely heavily on Puppeteer and the DevTools protocol. The DevTools protocol has a history of major breaking changes every couple of Chrome versions, so it is very likely that the app will stop working in a couple of months if it's not kept up to date.
Ask HN: As a technical solo founder, what should I hire for first?
My side project recently passed $25k MRR with steady growth and I'm still flying solo. I've raised no funding, and profit margin is greater than 95% (excluding my time).

All of my experience is in development and not marketing, selling, or customer outreach, so I'm definitely leaving a load of potential on the table. At the same time, improving the product further would require developer talent in areas where I'm not proficient enough to handle it all by myself. I've had to turn enterprise customers away because I'm just not ready, and while my codebase is working, it's not pretty.

To take my business to the next stage, where should I look to add resources first?
Loans for All: Putting an End to Discriminatory Lending

There are ways of making smart contracts upgradeable. The code is immutable, but it can also say "if x has been toggled, point to this newly uploaded contract instead."
There are too many perverse incentives in the system; the incentives need to be realigned.

The amount of money coming from students incentivizes a university to provide worse education to more students.

Easy loan money discourages discernment all along the pipeline--at universities, lenders, students, parents...

The economy usually predicts Presidential approval, but Trump has managed to secure an unprecedented (for this point in a first term) -10.8 point net approval and majority (52.9%) disapproval; if that keeps up the biggest danger to a challenger (well, aside from voter suppression), even more than the structural advantages Republicans enjoy, will be an overly brutal crowded primary.

> Imagine if tomorrow, the price of water dectupled. Suddenly people have to choose between drinking and washing dishes. Activists argue that taking a shower is a basic human right, and grumpy talk show hosts point out that in their day, parents taught their children not to waste water. A coalition promotes laws ensuring government-subsidized free water for poor families; a Fox News investigative report shows that some people receiving water on the government dime are taking long luxurious showers. Everyone gets really angry and there’s lots of talk about basic compassion and personal responsibility and whatever but all of this is secondary to why does water costs ten times what it used to?
> most of the shiny new stuff is coming out on .NET Core first

I hadn't fully appreciated prior to this post that .NET Core has things that aren't in .NET Framework, let alone .NET Standard. I thought it was a portable subset (a core, if you will) of the full .NET languages and APIs. I don't know whether that makes me more interested in Core, but I'm certainly less inclined to target any other flavor.
it didn't, the tv picture is much more blue (at least to my eyes) than the original.
I know the standard talking point is that easily available student loans is the only cause of tuition increasing so much over the years. But this ignores the massive drop of state funding that used to go to most colleges, and (IMO even more important) demand vs supply.
It used to be that college was one of several valid options after high school, but now everyone is supposed to go to college and there is a lot of societal pressure to go, without regard to what a person wants to do with their life.
This allows colleges to keep increasing tuition almost without limit, because you _have_ to get a degree so cost doesn't stop people from going.
How does IPC compare for Cortex and RISC-V?

Good article. I will go out on a limb with a couple self-observed behaviors:

I'd venture to guess that a good litmus test for knowing if someone is ready to start a business is measuring their ability to deal with conflict.

When engineers aren't good at dealing with conflict, they are likely heading towards escapism when they start a project:

1) Engineers sometimes don't necessarily want customers, they want intellectual freedom. Having customers is scary, and if your subconscious goal is escapism, having customers is even scarier.
2) Listening to people may lead you down the road of doing something you don't want to do. See #1. This may mean not having the freedom to do what you think you want to do. Which likely is not making money.
When Can Token Curated Registries Actually Work?
Customizing packages is something I do occasionally to debug FOSS. I don’t recall which package I wanted to debug, but I remember that I gave up after my laptop was compiling for many hours. Any changes to one NixOS package automatically invalidate all of its reverse-dependencies, which isn’t the case with e.g. Debian, where I can, when deeming it safe, rebuild a package and install it over the currently installed version.
If you continue with your Pro-Account you still get unlimited photo uploads and nothing is changing for you as long as you continue to be a pro-subscriber. I liked the way it was before. You keep all your latest 200 photos but the rest are in archive unless you pay for a pro-account.

Personally I moved to Google Photos for all my photos backup and sharing. I have a personal server that has a backup of all my raw and high quality photos to keep.
It's not really clear to me what the difference between .NET Core 3 and a '.NET Framework 5' would be.

For users, having to install .NET Core 3 runtime (if the app doesn't ship it internally) doesn't seem like a different thing than having to install .NET Framework 4.x when it first came out.

It wouldn't be surprising if future versions of Windows started shipping with .NET Core pre-installed.

Why is .NET Core so different from this perspective?
I'll take a look ASAP
I pruned from 1400 pics to 700 within an hour. That was remarkably painless. Quality improved also. Flickr is once again useless for photo storage. It is now only good for advertising Google Photo Albums.

I did not believe the 1 Terabyte promise to begin with. I dumped my 300 thousand pics into Google Photos instead. Google seems to have more processing power too, as everyday I get suggestions for Google-generated panoramas and videos and other shit.
Wow, you are so smart and such a good debater :D
How is that going to help? It's the cost of healthcare that matters, not the universal system. Unless you mean that salaried workers should foot the bill for freelancers who have unpredictable income streams. That is neither sustainable nor fair.

Universal systems in fact can be a hindrance to freelancers. They are expensive, making it hard to make the first step, and the result is people go illegal or underreport their income.

I've had a lot of problems using Nix in the past. Not least of which is that it's terribly hard to search for anything because of the name--not only is the name generic ("nix package manager" -> "Congress nixes aid package...", "nix" -> "*nix", etc), but search engines have a terribly hard time figuring out what nix project I'm inquiring about ("nix package manager", "nix expression language", "NixOS", specific Nix derivations, etc).

Another problem is that the documentation for individual functions is nonexistant. If you want to know how a particular function works, you have to go to the nixpkgs repo in github and try to guess about where the function's definition would live in the massive directory structure, and once you find the definition you care about, you have to read the source code (in Nix expression language--if you're not well acquainted, good luck: the docs are pretty terse and hard to Google for as previously mentioned) which likely references other functions, and since imports don't seem to correspond with the directory structure, you're back to guessing where the symbol you're looking for actually lives. The problem is exacerbated by the dynamically-typed nature of the expression language; other dynamically typed languages at least tell you what type of arguments they expect, but since these definitions aren't annotated at all, you're left guessing. Documentation would do wonders for the project, especially if it's autogenerated like other languages and put in an HTML format so we aren't left hunting around the nixpkgs repo.

What Nix strives to be seems promising, but it's really hard to even evaluate the core ideas for all of the usability issues.

The American Abyss depicts a U.S. civil war in 2040
I think Blockchain technology as distributed immutable ledger is a very nice data structure for a lot of real world use cases (supply chain, market place, contracts,..). Sure it's also a huge hype thanks to crypto currencies, icos, etc. but the technology fulfills a need. However, I see more advantages in using private quorums leveraging proof of authority instead of public networks of untrusted nodes. I understand that not everyone might be ok with this tradeoff.

Even though we have universal health care it is not free and not paid from taxes but from individual direct fees. the minimum monthly rate is currently a whopping ~400€ (450$). They will decrease the minimum rate to 200€ next year.
Untrue, because the tax cuts aren't unilateral cuts and inclide increases,and even the cuts alone don't affect all people with jobs.
In my experience, "starving the beast" just means you're locked in a room with a starving beast. Bureaucracies can be awful to deal with. But if you strip them of resources, the laws that dictate their mission are unchanged. Any hope of expedient resolution of issues is gone. People who, often through no choice of their own, must deal with these bureaucracies will receive worst treatment and outcomes. Unpopular though the IRS may be, an IRS that can't function correctly is more dangerous to individuals and society than one that can.
in what way is that consistent tho?

I'm just curious, before federal loans, were private lenders willing to fund anybody, or only degrees they found lucrative?

Or was the tuition so low it didn't matter? (E.g., somebody who gets a psychology degree and winds up making $40k/year doing data entry still can afford to pay the relatively small amount)?
Important thing is, you can't really do a MAD scenario with drones. MAD requires the destruction to be assured - e.g. once missiles are in the air, everyone's done. The destruction is immediate and can't be stopped by last-minute negotiations; there's no option of attacking "only a little" with nukes.
There's very little speech that's actually illegal in the US. You can't tell outright lies about someone with the intention of hurting them professionally (although it's still a civil matter, and when I say "lies", I mean specifics, e.g. you can't claim in an article that someone dropped out of college if they didn't) and you can't say anything that has a high probability of causing immediate physical harm (e.g. you can't order somebody to shoot someone). That's basically it. When you start talking about publishing photographs or recorded audio, things get a bit more complicated because of copyright laws, and obviously CP is illegal, but strictly in terms of speech, online or off, there are almost no restrictions here.

Two arbitrary ideas imho:

1. I understand the two month heads up was likely made by business concerns, but if I was to sunset this I'd give a year's warning.

2. Don't apply this rule to accounts that have been dormant for a long time. I can imagine photo collections on some old Blogspot account by some departed blogger from the mid-'00s. If inactive accounts with >1000 photos don't comprise a significant cost, why not keep those accounts? The owners of those photos might not be in a state to upgrade to Pro anyway.

OpenSSL shipped a patch for it in that interval. Intel isn't going to fix it faster than OpenSSL ships a patch revealing it unless they already had a convenient killbit for the affected things.
