Setting up a reproducible build environment with nix-shell is much more convenient than screwing around with containers.
Not “meh, good enough” but rather “eh, computationally equivalent, why bother reformulating something that looks like a black box but is actually a gimmick we can rely upon to give equivalent results and that is understood by everybody in the field?”
Containing antimatter, let alone doing stuff with it and measuring effects e.g. Just gravity is pretty fucking difficult.

No need to charge for the emails or profit from them. But people will give you more attention if your writing is in their inbox.
The strength of the gravity between a proton and an (anti-)proton is 30+ orders of magnitude weaker than electromagnetism. The only reason we are able to notice gravity at all is because the electromagnetic forces between macroscopic amounts of matter (~10^23 protons) cancel out essentially perfectly, leaving only the gravitational force remaining. But the amounts of antimatter we can create and collect is extremely microscopic, so we can't use this canceling trick. Furthermore, we can't keep antimatter from annihilating for long enough to take long detailed measurements.
-Nature is full of bogus, like all journals, if not more. The reason for its high impact factor isn't due to consistently solid papers all around, it's due to a few very high impact, foundational papers and a crowd of minor impact/shaky ones that were sneaked in by big shots and friends of the editors. Look up retraction rates by journal and prepare to be surprised.

-I don't think you realize the step it takes to actually write to Nature and say: "Excuse me, that paper you published is wrong and you should retract it." You're liable to alienate all of the authors as well as piss off the editorial board for pointing out that they let a mistake slip through. You should be prepared to face vigorous backlash, and be completely confident in your own results if you don't want the repercussions to overwhelm you. Many communities related to specific fields are small and niche, so making enemies with one team often means that you've actually cut yourself off a good part of that community. You should be prepared for awkward moments in conferences when you meet each other, incendiary questions when giving talks and scathing "anonymous" peer-reviews for your future submitted work. It's far easier to assume good faith, give the authors the benefit of the doubt ("yeah the implementation is buggy but what software isn't? The main idea is probably sound") and move on.

-I don't know about other fields, but in mine, there's an unofficial accepted consensus on a set of very high-profile papers that happen to be either complete bunk or utterly useless. Again, we're talking about Science, Nature, etc. These papers made a lot of noise when they came out years ago, and now no one in their right mind would base their work on them. Again, you can't just knock on Science's editorial board and go "Excuse me, that hyped paper from a very big shot is useless and you shouldn't have published it", so it's just something people in the community know and whisper among themselves. I guess it may seem strange to outsiders though.

Are you saying things have changed, or just that it should be labeled 2015?
Hah yeah I just listened to that a couple days ago but didn't make the connection. Probably was rattling around my subconscious when I wrote this question because yeah it is very similar. That's a particularly interesting comparison too because the whole point was that just filling in conservatively based on experience misses a ton a real-world crazy and interesting diversity. The best example was how if we were imagining what elephants looked like just based on their fossilized skeletons, they wouldn't have trunks!
The 4GB Macs in question were using slow 5400 rpm hard drives.

But, until two months ago, I was using a circa 2009 Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz laptop with 4GB of RAM with an external USB drive running Windows 10 as a Plex Server. It could do one or two streams depending on the bit rate. It could not do a 4K stream.
Because solutions and IDE functionality is getting more complex and processes needs access to more RAM, which is cheap and plentiful and pointless to not use. Saying that every extension should be its own process isn't sufficient and ignores the extra complexity, inefficiency and resources that approach takes.

What's worse is that VS doesn't even follow its own recommendations. Even with the massive upgrades over the past year, it's still extremely slow and laggy on any sizable solution.
Ok, G2 before that.

If none is posted, then whatever the national or state speed limit is.

So the only people who aren't caught are those that are carefully observing the speed limit? Sounds good to me. These supposedly revenue-seeking police departments never bother me.

The DoD benefits as well.

Thr converse applies too. Just because FDA approved a drug that the military wanted, that doesn't mean that the approval was the result of their lobbying.

Oh, the real world is strongly typed. It's just the that the type is "json.Value" :(

I of course recognize that a database is not very useful if you can't get your data in there.
Yes. And it's a difficult question to ask because the effects of gravity on subatomic particles is incredibly hard to measure. Thats why they need to make anti-hydrogen to remove the effects of other forces on the particles because it's electrically neutral. If it touches matter of any kind it will instantly annihilate so you need near perfect vacuums, without electric/magnetic fields.

I think that "taking off" is relative. We don't really know how much they are spending on ads at the moment to get all these installs, but I can tell you it's A LOT of money. This is not organic growth, and generally paying your way to the top doesn't work long-term.
> Software rots just like physical products.

No, it doesn't.

It may become less relevant/useful as market conditions change (like physical products), but it (apart from physical media it is stored on) doesn't also itself degrade over time the way physical products all do at varying speeds.
For the most brightest mathematicians of HN : could you relate this to tensors?

I'm kind of curious as to why the more established platforms are seeing multiple millions of downloads a month. Are people uninstalling apps and reinstalling them frequently?
And Apple's un-customizability.

I gave a try to KDE at the beginning of 2014. I used it for a few months but everything was painful: twice as many clicks to get things done than I used to in Gnome. It reminded me of Windows.

I installed Gnome Flashback and stayed there. I'm customizing Gnome Shell to look like the old Gnome 2 now. I have to sort out a couple of problems with the Nvidia driver (flickering unless I use a strange 40 Hz refresh rate) and I'll be there for the next few years on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. If there won't be themes anymore by then, I'll switch to something else because the Gnome developers and I have two really different ideas of the desktop. Ironically I'm closer to KDE but it was really unusable.

I'm just thinking through the implications of this... General relativity says that mass and energy are equivalent; an electron produces as much gravitational attraction in another particle as an equivalent amount of energy does. If matter and antimatter gravitationally repulse each other, then an electron and positron in close proximity will produce a near-zero amount of acceleration in a nearby particle, since the attraction and repulsion cancel. However, if they annihilate, producing gamma rays, then the gravitational acceleration experienced by that nearby particle will suddenly increase, since the energy of both particles will occupy the region previously occupied by the matter and antimatter.

Is that correct? That sounds wrong. Why should the net gravitational "charge" of the gamma rays not be negative or zero?
Thank you! I am really starting webgl, opengl study, and so I am hoping to start on the right footing. I was beginning those quaternion videos, but I think it will benefit me to look closely here too!
> If you're trying to make a living from the app (I don't think the post is too clear),

Agreed, I was ambiguous on this point. It would be nice to make a living from it (of course!), but I've got other apps in my brain that need building, and other types of work that I do, so it's not necessary. I don't have all my eggs in this basket.

Let's say: in order to be more than a hobby, a program has to be financially self-sustaining. For some software, that can mean enough to spend 10 hours a week on it, and for other software, it might mean enough to hire a team of 50 people to work on it full-time. Below about 10 hours/week, though, and it starts to lose the ability to be called self-sustaining. There's just not enough hours to take on significant work.

Why not use neutrons and antineutrons, or any other neutral particle that has mass?
> I guess it may seem strange to outsiders though.

Of course it seems strange. The output of the scientific/academic community is often presented to people as being a source of truth and scientists do little to dissuade this. To learn that it's all rotten to the core is upsetting.
I agree with the point you're making, but it doesn't seem to address my question. The author describes the usage pattern that I find myself in, and I suspect is relatively common among non-frontend devs: we aren't particularly skilled in CSS or other frontend web dev work, but every now and then we find ourselves wanting to make a quick, simple, but usable site as a landing page for some other project we're releasing.

For people in that niche, frequent tweaks/changes to the styling seem unlikely: I'm going to make the site once and unless it breaks I'm unlikely to come back to the code for it.

The parent comment I replied to makes the direct claim that this class-based pattern will bite me, and I'm curious if somebody can help me figure out how that would happen.
Oh wow! I never considered that.
That said, I still see no reason why there needs to be a company logo or why the logo needs to vibrate.

Any rotation around the unaligned axis will free you. The problem with gimbal lock for 1st person controls is mostly avoided because roll is limited and you don't need to smoothly rotate over the poles anyways.

But, I find that I often need smooth, arbitrary rotations for other things, so I just use quaternions everywhere. When using Euler angles as input, I immediately convert them to quaternions.
Location: Gainesville, FL

Remote: yes, or local to Gainesville

Willing to relocate: sort of; I am willing to relocate to certain areas, esp. Jacksonville Beach or similar, provided some form of relocation assistance is available... Other areas in the US are currently not an option, for personal reasons. Unless you have an extremely tempting offer... ;-)

Technologies: Python, relational databases (MS SQL Server, Postgres, MySQL), web crawling, GUI development, scripting, automated testing, SQLAlchemy, some web programming (in progress), ETL, REST APIs, parsing. Web development: mostly React. Languages: Python of course, Scheme, Prolog, Lisp. I have some familiarity with many other languages, like C, C#, Ruby, OCaml, Elixir, Clojure, Haskell, etc, and in most cases I can probably quickly become productive in them, if you have an existing projects in one of these languages. (I am always eager to pick up new programming languages or technologies.)

When reality doesn't agree with logic, it's time to examine your premises.

I am a bit obsessed with this topic and have already implementd various stabs at a "fix" (in different stages of completion):

1. "Tidej" -- a mobile JS IDE: https://tidejnet.appspot.com/v3/ -- Too complex, too little guidance, code editor used not really mobile friendly, browser seems even less usable than native for this purpose.

2. "Flowgrid" -- a dataflow IDE for Android: http://flowgrid.org -- turns out drawing is even harder than typing on mobile

3. "CodeChat" -- a strange not quite smalltalk dialect with a chat-like interface: https://github.com/stefanhaustein/codechat -- I can't fully remember the syntax myself -- perhaps a bit too ambitioned.

4. "ASDE" -- The "current" approach: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0pQ5PU91Ils -- the main idea is that line numbers will help the to avoid the biggest pain on mobile: fiddely cursor positionong. Hope this one will pan out better than the others...

SEEKING WORK -- Gainesville, FL -- remote/freelance

I am a very experienced Python developer, having used the language in all kinds of areas and situations, including web development (Flask, Django, Pylons, Google App Engine, etc), GUI development, database access (using MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres), ORMs, REST APIs, scripting, backend development, automated testing, web crawling/scraping, data extraction and parsing/ETL, parsing, language implementation, games, etc.

I am looking for full-time or part-time work, either one is fine. If you are looking to get a small project done, or you have an existing project where some maintenance work needs to be done (perhaps on a regular basis), then I would love to hear from you.

I am also available for technical writing (I kept a programming blog for many years, mostly about Python), and for front-end development using React.

(For the record: Although Python is my main programming language, I am also interested in, and have worked with, many other programming languages, including C, D, Delphi, Go, C#/Mono, Ruby, OCaml, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme, etc, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. I am also available to work on projects in these languages.)

I do worry about the effect ultra sensitive people (usually white privileged males incidentally) will have on comedy, will we have more Family Guy, Big Mouth, Southpark, Rick and Morty, The Office, or British comedys like Men Behaving Badly, Bottom, Only Fools and Horses, Monty Python or standup comedy like Netflix's degenerates in 5 years. In fact, forget about creation, I actually worry about even being able to access old content, will the sensitive

You call it legacy. Many people call it the code their businesses rely on.

There is no need to rewrite it, god forbid. Instead, make it cross platform when possible, or exclude from shipping to other platforms.

Then, instead of shipping a segregated .NET Core infant, MS could (and still can!) ship .NET 5.0.msi, .NET 5.0.dmg and .NET 5.0.deb/rpm distributives.

Easy. No need to increase the amount of pain in this world. Just small, incremental, mindful steps towards the greater benefit of all living beings.
