You're just repeating yourself.

If the headline said "Ohio switches all operations to be Bitcoin-only" and then the fineprint said "we're turning all the bitcoin into USD immediately using BitPay", that would be a "gimmick".

They said "we're going to let businesses pay taxes via bitcoin", and they are. What do the businesses care if they convert the bitcoins to USD, gold, or chickens immediately after?
They are useful in articulating high-level insight on how systems integrate together.

A well done diagram would have an as of date, and some commentary along side boxes.
Probably short term it will be slightly less and then become extremely expensive as our already overfished reserves dwindle from automated over-fishing.
you're not understanding that the racist cop/politician is the one controlling the machine, telling the programmer how to design its algorithms, and protecting the system from being audited
Does anyone know if there is a tool to safely remove telemetry executables from Win10? Is it possible to remove these?

I must add: Listen, even if you do not understand. In time, the sounds become familiar, and in more time, effortless and automatic.
This article seems half-great and half-lame. A couple of great aspects are distinguishing between productivity vs. value, and recognizing the "flow" aspect to creative work. A couple of the lame aspects are thinking that every team must be supportive (the teams where we have created world-changing software were almost devoid of social skills) and thinking that defensive barriers are inappropriate in this "winner takes all" business environment with its associated values. In short, I hope never to work for the fellow who wrote this article - he seems to be trying to mold developers to fit into his somewhat arbitrary value system.
It's interesting to me that among the HN readership, the majority of the conversation here is either "This is true because it matches my experience." or "I had a different experience and therefore this is false."

Cities and suburbs (and rural places too, for that matter) all fall on a spectrum, and probably a bell curve. People do too. I think too many of us expect happiness to come from the place we're in magically, as if it takes no effort to find it. You still have to work to connect with people no matter where you live, However, this doesn't invalidate the contribution that certain build environments make to loneliness.
Piggy backing on your post, I have a very large and complex systems of architectures (both hardware and software). I'd love to take that documentation and run analyzation on the data/node and their relationships (maybe via a graph DB in the backend and some rich search capabilities). Anyone know of any tools that not only help you draw and document, but interface with the diagrams via API?
I don’t see how your comment addresses the allegations in this article. The airlines allegedly use an algorithm that detects family members on a flight and deliberately seats them separately to try to upsell them to manual seat selection. That has nothing to do with any passenger making a purchasing decision based solely on price.
Agreed. I think there's a combination of things here - STEM type subjects for example seem to lend themselves to well defined processes and training, whereas things that are a bit more ambiguous (law, journalism, management, politics) leave a lot more space to make things up as you go along.

I think there are benefits to both, but whenever I see someone complain about everyone winging it, I think they show their incompetence and lack of professional development.

I work in a very fluid field (I recruit salespeople), so the rules are much less defined than if I were building rocketships or bridges or whatever, but there's still an abundance of work out there giving guidance on how things can be done.

You see the same things in startups. The successful ones are emulating a lot of the lessons learnt by people who came before them, and then innovate in a small area. The unsuccessful ones are "innovating" on everything.
What i mean is, the simplicity is in the: "If i cameback to my project after 1 or 2 years, i can easily work with it because it has no complexity to remember".
>> You mean, make the most money? Nobody cares about making customers happy.

> Well if you get assigned bad seats you might not come back, for this sort of thing I would say happy customers would lead back into more money

There's a lot of space between making customers so unhappy they never return and making them happy. The smart capitalist will eagerly trade the happiness if his customers for more profit, so long as he doesn't hit a tipping point that destroys his business.
I wouldn't blame the automation - I would blame consolidation in the banking industry into ever-larger firms, which seldom have the customer's interests in mind.
The 900k computer processes are unlikely to refuse to follow the updated protocol because it's immoral/fascist/illiberal/undemocratic/whatever too. Cuts both ways it seems.
It's almost as if the airlines are saying, "Please regulate us. We can't control ourselves!"
It only takes one person in your entire contact list to upload their entire contact list, so that your information gets uploaded to Linkedin/Facebook/Google, etc. It's almost impossible to assert that level of control, so my assumption is that my details including my birthday, address, phone number, place of work, etc, has already been uploaded to all of those service. It's infuriating, but it's a reality since I can't stop one of my contacts from uploading my data.

asyncio is a low level cooperative multitasking framework. Locking by all means is an appropriate use of asyncio, if lock can be acquired the program simply executes with interruption, if the lock was previously acquired instead blocking the thread, asyncio makes the thread execute another coroutine.
The best resource in my opinion is still "What every programmer should know about memory." It is now over ten years old but still the most comprehesive and comprehensible post I know about that topic.

AFAIK there have been no major breakthroughts since that time in memory technology (Transactional memory could be one). While modern processors may be build a bit different (e.g. added shared L3 chache) you will have no problem understanding them.

There is also this github :

https://github.com/Kobzol/hardware-effects

for programs which should show such effects. (I haven't used them yet but they may be interesting for you to play with.)

IT Hare has published a nice article about those costs including rules of thumb costs.

Then there are the Agner tables. Giving you latencies and reciprocal throughput for your instructions.

If you are through these you have to read the intel and AMD optimization guides. (ARM may or may not have something similar.)

The paper by Kazushige Goto ("Anatomy of a High Performance Matrix Multiplication") is an example of Cache and TLB considerations in a non-trivial example.

orhmeh09, there's no link for me to reply to your comment. So I'll post here.

My understanding of things like boils is that the body is not able to release the toxins quickly enough through the digestive system, so it releases them through the skin.

The pranayama I was doing was pushing my body to get rid of toxins. After doing some juice cleansing, I was able to do this type of pranayama.
That is a good point indeed, with all the effort that goes into keeping your cloud server IP out of some blacklist to this day I still get extremely clear phishing mail and spam directly in my inbox on outlook.com and the majority of the time it sits there indefinitely until I manually trash it, other times the spam filter will work it out (but after several hours).
DARPA is an agency of the Department of Defense (to which the metonym “The Pentagon” refers).
That would leave the average citizen at a huge inconvenience, given how much of modern life is tied to smartphone usage. Doesn’t seem worth it just so you can go on a jaywalking/red-light-running spree.
Okay, I think I can do one worse.

Imagine if the justice system was like Apple's App Store acceptance/rejection system.

Sorry for putting that in your head, y'all.
I second that. Reading tests is often more efficient than trying to learn about a system through documentation.

I appreciate your reply and that it didn't end with "So, you should use program X (the one you work on) because it's the best software". Your objective response is great.
I basically don't trust the search engine "summary" info that is presented in search results. I always go to the actual website of the business to get contact info, addresses, etc.
All existing AI (and I mean all, even AlphaGo Zero, etc) is overhyped. With all of these systems the devil is always in the details and it's never as good as presented in a blog post or video. Often, even its creators don't realize about all of its shortcomings.
There is a very good way to document software architectures:

If Google is going to have customers remain on their site for search information they have the duty to ensure it is accurate. More and more searches are now given a placard that is either community generated or scraped whether it be maps or the main search. A search that used to feature a link to the bank's "Contact Us" page is now being taken by Google with the link being buried further down between more ads. I get this is to help Google provide voice searches (with the great side effect that Google gets people spending more time on their site), but with that revenue comes a responsibility to do more to ensure it is accurate.
Every major cinema I know of in San Francisco allows seats to be reserved on a first come first serve basis. All seats cost the same. It’s extremely simple, and while there might be some negative effect for the cinema whereby people won’t buy tickets for a showing if they see all the good seats are taken, but I strongly suspect that is far overwhelmed by the effect of people going to the cinema more often because they know they won’t have to show up early or worry about getting decent seats.
> airlines allegedly

Researcher says it looks more than random. Airlines are saying it’s random. Until someone finds proof of airlines biasing randomisation algorithms against families this is all speculation.

“Europe’s biggest airline never admitted to changing the way seating was allocated, insisting there was no change and saying that those who don’t pay to choose a seat are ‘randomly’ assigned one.”
I'm always really impressed by young people, early in their careers or without any career experience at all, who intuit this and are confident in their convictions and get stuff done despite their inexperience.

When I was young I was convinced that life beyond academia in all fields would be this super serious, mega competitive space where most everyone has everything figured out. That everyone who was there, in any kind of profession, would be super smart and really know their game inside out.

When I started my career I assumed frankly that my opinions were wrong, because of this. In my first job there were a lot of aspects that were almost the parody of how not to do things, yet even though I sensed this intuitively I convinced myself probably for the first year that I must be wrong and this must just be the way things are done in industry. That I would eventually figure out that this was the right way to do things. It's quite funny to look back on that in retrospect.

What I find most impressive about tales of young company builders and leaders, the classic Gates/Jobs/Zuckerberg etc, is not actually what they did but that they had the sheer temerity to do it at that age without first building their confidence in industry for a few years.

How did they know that they had the ability to build companies such as theirs -- surely were it possible one of the adults with 10-20 years industry experience would have figured it out already? How did they have the confidence to hold their own when confronted with such adults (many of whom I'm sure challenged them and competed with them for influence) as their companies grew? Truly awe inspiring.
Used iPad Pro for a while. It was alright. Mostly type out notes into emacs org mode now. If I write anything I immediately scanbot it into Dropbox.

I got over the tactile feel. It’s not a big deal. Only annoying part was a dead pencil. New iPad design should be a lot better. Kind of tempted.
> If you're trying to learn a language, you should learn the way children learn their first language: by speaking.

I respectfully disagree here. After using the methods/strategies in the Fluent Forever book/videos/etc... (of which SRS is but one), while this strategy will work, its ultimately a longer road than necessary.

Kids don't get the chance to learn any other way than by observation and learning what not to do by inference. They're also very willing to make mistakes to tune their understanding. Adults tend not to be, taking the kids learning strategy as an adult is both ignoring the fact that you can take advantage of being an adult that can take in information differently, AND can speak to natives in a more structured way to much more easily learn grammar.

You'll still need to practice with native speakers no doubt, but knowing/learning words based on their frequency in the target language is something that you as an adult can take advantage of that kids realistically have to infer.

Immersion is great, but isn't ultimately a realistic option for most adults.

Once upon a time redirects were used as pricing mechanism for phone-based "apis". So you could call some weather forecast, or sports analysis, yada yada. I don't know if these still exist, it would not surprise me if redirects are used mainly for fraud nowadays (they are huge in voip call centres breaches).

There will be another monolithic internet company doing shady things with our data that we all complain about.
In the OO version of this pathology, these arguments become the instance variables of a class introduced to do nothing more than hold them.

Poor design has a way of cutting across programming paradigms, or even (in the case of inappropriate inheritance, for example) leveraging their features.
There are a couple of high def web cams of busy Japanese lines just outside stations, that stream live on YouTube (with good sound, as well). (Unfortunately, the recent typhoon took out the one by the Italian Park in Tokyo.)

I've found I can watch those for hours. I've thought of putting a TV in my office and just leaving one or the other on as background.

They also remind me a bit of one or two domestic market contemporary Japanese films that have featured trains prominently.

I guess it's probably mostly just a one-off amalgam of experiences that exists in my head. But enjoyable.

P.S. You watch one of these, and -- as a foreigner -- you realize just how many of the high speed trains are running each hour, each day.
That is amazing! IIRC in the U.S. there's a few second "grace period" where there's supposed to be an announcement that says "this call is $2 a minute" where you can hang up immediately and not get charged. I presume that's not how it works where you are!
Did you consider setting up a system where the users would pledge to make regular donations? I know about:

- liberapay

- https://salt.bountysource.com

- patreon

- https://github.com/ddevault/fosspay

They usually allow seeing how much other popular developers make, to get an idea of what can be expected.

EDIT: I just realized opencollective is what you used for recurring donations.
Air travel isn’t always a luxury expense. Some people can’t afford anything except the cheapest ticket. It’s rather dismissive to blame them instead of the large airline companies who want to make a profit. Just because you can buy a more expensive ticket for better seating doesn’t mean everyone can.
The notion that a normal mentally stable person could be driven mad by these practices is absurd. Citation needed.
Yep. Pay the fine or hire a lawyer to defend you in court. If you lose pay court costs and bigger fine.
Hold the government employees liable (monetarily and criminally if they cause a loss of rights) for their mistakes and the problem will fix itself in quick order.
On the contrary, if someone claims your business, it's extremely difficult to undo. My mother has this issue with her 1 person LLC - some random person claimed it, and the reclaiming flow was busted last I checked
Thanks - that does give me hope.
This is really concerning. The fishing industry is fairly manual but many fish populations are already pushed to the brink. I went to Antartica a few months ago and I was shocked at how many squid boats we could see at night on our way down. Hundreds and hundreds with huge bright lights to lure them to their machinery. Overfishing is a real problem to the point that the current situation is almost unsustainable. I worry automation will push it over the edge.
Misleading title (FIXED —thanks dang).

We don’t have evidence the airlines used an “exploitative” algorithm. Just a statistical allegation and airlines’ denial of wilful malfeasance. To the airlines’ credit, simply having lots of single flyers pre-selecting window and aisle seats will lead to families of three or more being split up more frequently; no nefariousness needed.
If you leave your phone at home the automated number plate reader you pass on the way out of your village/suburb/estate stops and locks your electric vehicle and you wait inside for 3 hours. A police tow truck takes you to court. Two days later you're releases by the [AI] judges clerk ... you decide to always carry your government ID enabled mobile device in future ...
I have no ability to determine the validity of the allegations. I was only commenting on the relevance of the previous comment to the allegations mentioned in the article.
It's a shame that costs for fighting issues like that aren't automatically awarded. I have no idea about the relevant laws and how they might be shaped to protect the institutions involved, but it would seem to be a sane way to deal with this type of thing, and provide a small amount of accountability for the institutions (and therefore _some_ incentive to fix systemic issues).
OK, we've changed the title to something more representative of the article. If anyone can suggest a better (more accurate and neutral) title, we can change it again.
One more time to repeat and remember.

Fingerprint is at MOST 'username'. Never a 'password'.
That might help. I am no expert on govt stuff so I will defer to those who are. But it does suck I don't have an ID right now. You never notice how often you use it (travel, bars, events) until you don't have one!
Are these using UPS or just directly on power? At our office, power goes off about once or twice a month when someone is working on the electrical system. We've had lots of building work done, and it's definitely not been good on the Pi's - that being until we added UPS's.
The exact same argument can be made to those criticizing the use of automation: it doesn't matter, because that pressure means it will be used anyway. And the whole discussion becomes meaningless.
Some problems are inherently complicated, even if you come up with the best design.
I'm not sure if it was just my particular game, but I did find it very very simple. There weren't a lot of avenues to 'mess up', so to speak, and the algorithmic generation of the maze, while sorta cool to see, could stand to be sped up (if possible). Perhaps there was a way to skip it I didn't see.

Overall, though, pretty cool! :)
A few years ago I did teacher training (RYT-500 plus a few hundred more hours), taught for a few years. I have studied with a lot of people like Kraftsow, Rod Stryker and others but I haven't found a teacher who is knowledgeable and provides individual training. I am practicing myself but I wonder how much progress I could make with a good teacher.
>But to anyone complaining about how this is dystopian: compare it to human police officers who can racially profile and exhibit their prejudices to disproportionately target segments of the population, and which there is absolutely zero easy fix for, especially when we consider how prevalent unconscious bias is.

Now we can automate the biases of people so broad-brush and incompetent in approach, that they would install an AI system that automatically charges people for jaywalking, without it also having been trained on the set of things that commonly exist on roads. Great.

>At least an automated system can be analyzed for bias and, when it's found, corrected.

That sounds expensive. Why do that when you can make something cheap that mostly works and just hit cancel should it accidentally target anyone important?
Previously included benefits becoming paid extras is one thing, but deliberately creating an artificial hindrance which is a paid extra to resolve is quite another, especially when it's obviously a grave compromise of passenger safety.
I was under the impression it might become possible to lab grow fish flesh like beef, pork, chicken, etc.

It would certainly allow for clean, unpolluted fish and let the fish in our oceans recover.
I'm not say you openly call them that. but, you have to be careful about subordinates. A lot of them like to smile and agree then be pissed behind your back.
Interesting choice of backing music...I'd think reggae would be used for a cannabis research...shrooms are more along the lines of Floyd and Hendrix.
Don't touch my tabs (rel=noopener)
Yeah I was kind of shocked when the lawyer said yesterday I'd be on the hook for more costs. I almost assumed it'd be free or credited since it was taken care of and is probably an honest mistake.

But, I guess that proves what they say about assumptions!
A classic short story along this line is:

Computers Don't Argue by Gordon R. Dickson

A man has a complaint with his book club, but a series of errors escalate things alarmingly.

The Wikipedia article has the whole plot:
