Reason = syntax for OCaml. Bucklescript is a transpiler to js. You can use other transpilers if you want but Bucklescript is great and has tightly integrated support. The best way to experience it is to just follow the "npm install" instructions. It may be a little confusing since you install Bucklescript, instead of Reason, as Reason is a syntax that Bucklescript supports. The online playground works great as well if you just want to get a feeling about the language.
Maybe we should form a union?
You're not wrong. I find it worrying too. But it's also the case with most [many] Android devices.
Why is it a problem when a stranger breaks into your house and raids your fridge but not when you invite a close friend over for a meal?

Both are seeking what they think is a going to be a meal. Both are ever so slightly changing the character of their destination by showing up.
In layman's terms, it's being continuously refreshed.
You don't need anything, just the user's affirmative confirmation in response to the prompt, "Are you 18 or older?"
Perhaps there is a community-wide phenomenon of progression, but not observable within single projects?

I wonder if this may be similar to the "won't hire jr. developers" tragedy of the commons that many companies are party to: the economy as a whole would benefit from investing in jr. developers (by providing an environment in which they can advance to sr. developers), but for each company individually, there is risk in training someone up in a year or two only to have them leave and become a "mid-level developer" at another company.
People keep saying that the street car will be worthless, but I simply don't buy it. It connects all of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the city, where there have been increasing large amounts of effort around economic development within the areas that these places connect, where it will massively increase the value and in turn ability to build real estate along the waterfront, as one of the key determiners of land value in NYC is access to transit.
> We as a company should always grow. How about instead we start firing customers?

Joking aside, I actually do this...

We will sometimes have irrational customers and they DO impact our bottom line.

If you have customers that constantly waste your time, ask for refunds for insane reasons, complain about features you don't have and never promised to implement - just fire them.

This is one of the reasons Terms of Service exist as well. Sometimes you have a customer who tries to do something evil and you just have to fire them.
And during an interview on NPR yesterday, Cuomo said something along the line of "Well, I don't know if 'The MTA' really exists'." This is not a man who should be in charge of the MTA. And the fact that he and de Blasio are feuding again, just as they did when they were involved with HUD during the Clinton administration, really proves that the MTA troubles and the NYCHA scandal are 100% connected - and it's because of two people who can't get past their own nonsense.
Yes, i am talking about asking pg to output json. This is mostly to make sure I get the structure I want with nested arrays etc, it is unnecessary with a single level query.

ORMs are not evil, but I like doing my queries in sql (and using pg functions). In the past I’ve seen the separate queries that an ORM would send to the db to build the data objects I wanted at the app level and I found it more comfortable to pound on queries in sql, then make a view so the app only needs to do simple selects. It was easier for me to maintain. I’m not saying it was the ORMs fault, but I liked having the ability to keep tables simple, make joined structures in views, then dump json out from there. With CTEs it is easy to nest arrays within parents etc. Then with PG we can materialize the view for data that doesn’t change frequently.

As horrible as that all sounds, hasura is the first layer that makes me want to try app directed queries, schema migrations etc. I got tempted by django way back but missed that train.

I was walking through Manhattan on Sunday along Broadway north of Union Square Park and I saw at least 2-3 homeless or panhandlers _per block_ along the way. I was directly asked for money a few times as well.

I grew up in NYC. I spent high school and college in Manhattan. This is the worst I have seen it. There is no cushion for people living on the margins of society anymore. Not here, at least. When I was a kid, my mother was able to raise three of us on her one paltry salary. Good luck doing that on several salaries now.

And as someone with a good income and two earner household, I can’t help but feel that I am one recession away from struggle. I don’t have a home my parents will leave to me in flyover country that I can retreat to if shit hits the fan.
Your points are all well-made, but I don't know if a message has to be surprising to be worthy of studying, whether satirically or otherwise.

That said, I do think it's genuinely subversive, and effectively so. It's in conversation with its genre of 'science fantasy action schlock'; it's satire in the same way that, say a late Western Revival like High Plains Drifter is. If you examine it on its own, it barely makes any sense. But when taken in context with what it's supposed to be, in its genre, then I think it becomes a deliberate kind of commentary on those tropes. The old joke goes that, from the other side, Star Wars is about a terrorist organization that murders millions of government servants. It's cautionary less in the direct sense of "Nazis are bad", than "Take a closer look at the mythologies you believe in".
How federal involvement will help? Article doesn't detail what powers exactly federal govt possesses that would help, aside from moving spending from local to fed level.

I'd also argue, that having feds in this business would even worsen the situation: now locals could be taken completely out of the loop for decisions like where to place shelters. Like, "oh you don't like shelter in this neighborhood? take a walk - it's a federal decision, live with it."
My support network flew away when I lost jobs, quit jobs, and finally became homeless. They get frustrated by various things and call it being negative or difficult or similar. There’s a strong unwillingness to empathize. I realized some things I did/didn’t do to attract parasitic people to my life, but I’ll digress there. Ymmv of course, but in general people are made very uncomfortable by the situation and may jump ship on a totally sober person.
Exciting news. Huge fan of Autodesk and YC. Congratulations to PlanGrid!
Pay for it in taxes, let the government set up an agency providing assistance. Would require big changes in the system you have in the US though, ugly bureaucracy, and whispering some forbidden words like "socialism".

But it's reality, not fantasy: https://www.kela.fi/web/en/social-assistance-overview
RMS is what airlines use to price tickets and have done almost since the automated calculating computer was invented. Use of that kind of software has spread to all kinds of industries.

Large rental property management companies absolutely use RMS. You can see it in action if you go to the rental sites for a large apartment development (if you want one in real life, search for "Thorton Place Apartments" in Seattle). Every possible amenity or detail about the apartment is factored into the overall rent, including which direction it faces, floor, whether it's recently been painted, along with how many of this particular type or in this building are left over, and then your particulars like how long of a lease you want, whether you're bringing a pet[0], and even what employer you work for.

That all gets crunched and a number falls out that sometimes has a relationship to what the glossy marketing copy also had printed on it. Rents for each unit can and will vary day-by-day as apartments are rented and notices handed in.

0 - Thorton Place doesn't do it but another apartment building in Lake City absolutely does bump up the base rent by around $17 if you pick "with pet" versus "without pet," in addition to lumping in a $45 "pet rent" fee.
As long as you aren't high altitude or near the poles, I think most of your upset events will be from trace radioactive elements in your packaging.
The uninteresting answer to nearly any "is it possible" question is "yes" (though there are a fair number of no answers out there too for various questions).

But that really doesn't answer the question that wants to be asked. Instead "How would you design..." is a better one (assume the answer is 'yes').

This then brings into the question of "what do you consider an advertisement" and "what do you believe it would be trained on?" Banner image size? Domain source of data?

Since its rather hard to figure out what is going on behind machine learning, the classifier could be attacked with adversarial approaches ( https://blog.openai.com/adversarial-example-research/ ).

All in all, I believe the straight forward (not ML) ad blockers do a sufficient job in most cases.

In the advertisement blocking arms race, turning to AI or ML as an approach doesn't really do much besides turn over the battle plans to an... well... idiot. One that you can't understand and can be tricked in ways that we cannot fathom. Trying to debug an issue of "why is this advertisement getting through" in an ML world isn't an easy one to dig into.
Congrats Plangrid. I was your neighbor back in 2014. I remember when you guys needed to expand your office and you were looking to start using some of the space we were subletting all the way back when.

Ironically, 2 years after that I got in to YC and now run our company from Japan. Time flies!
I have patents and publications in multiple of the spaces listed under that whitepaper. And honestly? I don't WANT to keep it away from foreign governments. I don't think you could succeed, mind you, none of what I work on is complex enough to avoid a black box reinvention, but in trying to wall off the information transfer you'd see the whole slew of negative externalities as we saw in the aformentioned crypto regulation.

Fundamentally, I've been in no way convinced that these techs would even move the needle sufficiently in expanded capabilities for our enemies relative to the costs and limitations incurred by trying to fight what is, at its core, free spread of information. (Not to mention externalities via increased protectionism and overhead for american employees and practitioners)

Your "only thing worse is the alternative" suggests that the world should have become concretely worse since the rollback of export restrictions in the 2000's, which if you remember the arbitrary and spurious limitations to consumer software under the guise of "protection" prior in the same light I do, certainly didn't happen.

You can build them all day long, but then you have to have people who can live in them and pay for the cost of building that house, either through mortgages or taxes to the government.

And we all know how well the public housing projects went and still go to this day...
Something like this happens, actually. It's often in the clothing of small nonprofits with small teams of people who are brilliant, or who are basically the support department of the 1 or 2 funded geniuses. Question mark on the efficacy.
I was careful to avoid the use of the term "blockchain" as a final achievement because I agree with you regarding current limitations of our technology as a means of decentralized consensus. I see a future where more efficient algorithms supplant the current (very costly) blockchain BFT architecture.
Oh, definitely! It's even worse because you don't even get a properly secured device, it's a horrible ecosystem right now. But because it actually runs an open-source kernel and the bootloaders can be unlocked in most cases there's a chance to fix it still. With Apple hardware, unlike in their laptops, you have no choice but to run their software.
> Think about the size of a reasonable cryptographic public key; would it be nice to have it optically readable sometimes?

An ECDSA key would be 256 bits or 32 bytes long. At low error correction, it can fit into QR Code version 2 (21×21 modules). Or if you're thinking of RSA, then a 2048-bit key would fit in version 10 (57×57).
> At the end of the day, everything is political.

It only is if you view everything through a political lens. Science and psychology, for example, are not political.

Plus you can affect change without the political system. Starting with improving oneself. Then family members. Then local community. If enough people did that, that would be a societal change and maybe we wouldn't have such a crisis in the first place.
So basically Gartner is there to gobble up money from incompetence.
I have been feeling depressed for a few days pondering the general credibility crisis that prevales over human communications as of late.

The spread of low quality content or plain disinformation is just an aspect of the problem. We have those who stand to gain from, politically or financially from influencing the global conversation to their advantage, and we've seen an endless parade of examples, that have elevated Astroturfing and manipulative deceit from a curiosity into an exact science and art form: Cambridge analytica, Facebook and their HR firm, Bannon and Breitbart, the Russian troll farms, twitterbots and fake profiles, the inexplicable fact that FB knows and tells advertisers exactly how many times their ad was shown and bills them accordingly, but they need to develop new technology to figure out exactly how this very same features were used to needle in an election, sow discord and amplify animosity.

OTOH I can read and hear all sorts of opinions from all kinds of experts on every field who I no longer trust, since I don't know if they are using their audience for profit and ever so subtly change the perception of those who listen: it puzzles me to no end that nowdays Microsoft is considered open source's best new friend, the same Microsoft that no more than 15 years ago was covertly funding SCO's Lawsuits vs Linux.

I feel like advertising has seemed to the very fabric of human communications, not to better humanity but for the short term gain and selfish goals of a few who can afford such services.

The internet used to be an Electronic Frontier where everybody could be who they really were and speak their minds. Now it's a poisoned cesspit where everybody lies about everything and those who do it better get to sell you stuff. <//3
People might see roads different from public transportation because they are directly affected by poor Management on the part of public transportation companies. If your bus is always late, you can't sit on the subway because the seat is soaked in piss, and there is no customer support for the $100 card you just purchased which isn't working, you might become disinclined to defend the exorbitant costs of public transportation. As paradoxical as that might seem.
This is the most correct answer. If you're Bob's Widget factory looking to upgrade your ERP, WMS, HR management system and have limited technical knowledge, where do you look to get the insight on the variety of choices?

A semi-informed decision is better than just believing the salespeople. Most software/systems in the magic quadrant aren't bad choices.
It's not so much that the rail itself was destroyed, but that the tunnels and stations have been closed for various reasons. Usually it's down to either a new replacement station being built, consistent signal issues, or some other passenger safety concern. Of course there have been closures due to the maintenance gap, but those aren't the bulk.
Disagree strongly that Casey is "not interesting, deep, gifted or talented at anything". He's a professional filmmaker who did plenty of TV and commercial work (including selling an 8-episode TV series to HBO) before ever getting into YouTube.

His "secret" was bringing his experience with professional cinematography and production values and applying them to a medium (vlogging) that had historically been very much an amateur game.

Thanks for doing this research! I've long dreamed of making a "print to binary to paper" backup system, but all the 2D barcodes I considered had patent encumbrances.
Poor news creation creates iPhone supple Chain Panic
We fixed this: http://Mattereum.com/LP and it'll be up on an alpha basis in the next couple of months.

Basically we are where SSL was before we got Certificate Authorities to bind the crypto keys to real world legal entities. Without that commercial infrastructure to absorb risk and connect the two domains, nothing can move across domains - which is where the real value can be generated.

I project managed the Ethereum launch, I've been around the crypto world for 20 years, and we've been working in this for quite a while. Read the paper. Give us a look.
> The ledger is public via Omni

The ledger doesn’t report the dollar price at which Tethers were bought and sold. The ledger could remain intact while Bitfinex falsifiés the prices of trades.
In the end, I don't think you actually answered your original question?

I'd say do what you will, and if you reject their code, they'll probably be fine living on in a fork of your project. Personally, I wouldn't mind using code from someone I disagreed with, because in the end, our common interest in a piece of software might be one thing that brings two opposing parties together, rather than divides them apart.
Yup, a large portion of hardware design is based on getting below a required maximum failure rate. For metastability, you just keep adding more flip-flops. BTW, the cache invalidation request may be due to this. They figured they could more easily reach their time between failure interval if they could discount time during S1.
"Shouldn't" is very different from "can't"
It’s ironic considering that DTLA of all Los Angeles sub markets is the one with virtually no zoning restrictions and has some of the highest numbers of construction cranes in the nation.

But before we all go onto AirBnB rampage, have you looked at any available properties in that zip code? The schools are complete garbage (an elementary school kid was recently stabbed by a homeless drug addict), the crime rate is high, public transport is next to non-existent, and there’s feces of various origins in the plain view on the sidewalk.

Downtown LA officials have been trying to revitalize the neighborhood by expanding the convention center, permitting more hotel rooms, making business rent cheap and attracting more visitors like yourself, not pitching the neighborhood that’s adjacent to Skid Row to a suburban nuclear family with 2.2 kids.
No that is exactly how to spoil a kid - pandering to their meaningless opinions. That’s how snowflakes are formed.
Skara Brae also features in some of the Ultima games. Supposedly both companies hired the same consultant who provided some of the same naming ideas to both customers - oops!
> For the last 5-6 years however, everyone I asked told me that their iPhone and iPad either gets a bit smoother or stays the same after a new iOS.

Except those who Apple was "helping" "preserve battery life" by purposefully slowing the clock speeds on updates without telling them? I've often wondered how many people went out and actually purchased an entirely new phone due to this unannounced "help" vs slapping a (relatively cheap) new battery in it?
Most of Gartner's income comes from serving as a sort of strategic IT help desk rather than from the publications you cite. They provide as much of a sanity check for enterprise/commercial IT decision making as a customer desires.

Individually, their experts are actually pretty knowledgeable IMHO more so on average than IT executives tend to be. There are many morons out there in decision making roles and there are many worse advisors than Gartner e.g. "advisors" who are unduly influenced by vendor payoffs (1st hand knowledge not supposition).
i remember cases where some guy tried to build tiny homes for the homeless in LA and the government shut him down. I know here in another part of the county, there was some land freed up for new development but a preservation society sued to prevent development unless certain conditions were met. Less housing ending up happening as they could demolish everything. Government is getting in the way of cheap housing.
C++ is the industry standard for the game industry. How is it obsolete?
Fair enough: I am most critical of the hype cycle itself, and haven't looked through the longer publications in detail.

There is a lot more to it than those magic quadrants and articles that vendors send you. It’s not really fair to pick out an article or two and then say they are crap. It seems to be the cool thing to pick on them and most of the people that do have basically zero experience with them. I suspect most of the bad rap comes from the bullshit ads vendors send out that reference some Gartner article.

When you sign up with them you are assigned an executive partner who helps develop your strategy, you get access to over a thousand analysts that are SME’s in various fields, access to a massive library of articles and it’s a good networking opportunity. The EP is where it’s at. It’s someone with a lot more experience than you have who you can work with directly, bounce ideas off of, get advice from, etc. I guess sort of a mentor for hire is one way to look at it. I know people that swear by Gartner and renew year after year.

That said, it wasn’t a great fit for me. I don’t want to call it a complete waste, but it wasn’t worth it. I am apparently an outlier among their clients because they have a very high retention rate.
