The same thing applies to milk. Organic milk regulations disallow water and powder mixtures while conventional milk is anywhere upwards from 5% stale milk mixed with fresh milk.

What organic was originally labeled for is now just a shadow. Buying organic is just precautionary to avoid the everchanging regulations that are not made with individuals in mind..but instead, industry..

Why on earth should a fine punishing you for a crime try to encourage growth?

Oh, it's almost as if your kids will grow up with wealth that they didn't have to work to earn, thus not being anything to do with how hardworking or lazy they are. Almost as if they'll be born rich, falling upon immense luck.
Ha-ha, the joke is on you, the systems I have inherited do not have tests.

Joke aside, tests are a great resource when they are present. The other technique I have used was to look at the system like a black box, and only look at the expected behavior at the boundary. Sometimes, it is the fastest way to clear old cruft.
120 foot (11m2) apartments exist all over Paris. They're not great, but fine for young single people without children who don't spend all day at home.
Maybe people could live in the apartments in shifts. Be at work 16 hours per day and sleep in the apartment for 8 hours. 3x the people. $50,000 apartment is now only $16,666.66.

One day? You mean you aren’t rich yet? Sounds to me like you’re just a lazy bum making excuses.

I built a 150sqft home. It’s not a prison cell.

Maybe if somebody forced you to live in a situation you don’t want to be in, you’d find it oppressive. But when you build your own home, you get to learn what you really need in a home. (And tons of square footage probably isn’t one of those things)
AI-driven justice etc is lowering the cost of dictatorship. It's literally lowering the barrier to installing an authoritarian regime, that's what's scary about it. (ref. "The Dictator's Handbook", my favourite political book, as to why this is a problem)

That statement is misleading. Pblishers sell participation badges to the article authors, the authors put these badges in their CV, and when the time comes to ask for money from the governmnet, the gal with the most badges on her chest wins it.

In addition, the authors have the right to upload a preprint (i.e. a copy identical in content) to a preprint server - virtually all journals allow it nowadays - although it doesn't happen.

So, there is in theory no reason why anyone should go to these websites to download a copy. In practice, it is convenient for the parties involved (researchers & funding agencies).
Continues the brilliant trend of neuroscience hubris and ignorance of the human mind. "How X is generated by the brain".

I think its good to force Apple to allow non-WebKit web engines on iOS. Right now Apple can forcefully cripple technologies like progressive web apps by not supporting the latest web technologies. This allows Apple to force companies to develop native applications.

Similarly, Apple has been slacking off on improving Webkit and making it as good as V8. By getting rid of Apple's monopoly on web engines, developers will be able to push websites to new levels that are currently hard to attain.

Original paper, which appeared in Diabetes Care.

Reading it, it's quite hard to believe it wasn't a joke, but it doesn't seem to be. It thanks R. Kuc of Yale (a professor of electrical engineering) for his expert review.

Google Scholar says it has 336 citations, most of which appear to be non-ironic[0].

The original paper was immediately followed (i.e. in the same issue) by two corrective articles[1], one titled "Tai's Formula Is the Trapezoidal Rule". So why did they publish it at all? This page discusses that question:

How does communism change the knee jerk negative response it receives in the West?
I did not say that salary = work. However, given your salary, increasing your effort increases your reward.

A lazy banker earns more than a productive grocery store employee, but a grocery store employee taking twice as many shifts earns twice as much money as the regular grocery store employee.

And they should not be punished for doing so.

To roughly quantify a salary, it would be something like salary = base salary of trade x negotiation factor x hard work factor. Hard work should not be punished. If you want to equal out various types of work, you could say "based on average income for your position", rather than your income, but then other problems appear.
Ask HN: Resources for small devs to deal with app stores and bureaucracies?
For some background, I write a couple of minor, free and open source extensions for Chrome and Google Sheets. Writing the extensions was pretty easy, but it ended up taking almost as long dealing with processes to get them listed in their respective stores as it did writing and testing them. Google has recently changed its store arrangement, and now tells me that my Sheets extension will require a Terms of Service, which I have little knowledge about or interest in writing, but will need to create or the extension will disappear.

The situation is similar in most app stores, and while I don't begrudge a certain amount of rigour in order to make it harder for malicious actors, it seems to have the side effect of make small or free apps not worth developing. What resources are available for small-time and OSS devs to navigate the requirements that app stores impose?
Interesting - 120sqft is just over 11sqm which, in NZ, is smaller than the minimum recommended size for a double bedroom. But perhaps a better comparison is with a small to medium sized caravan which can be be pretty comfortable at around the same size. I was just reading about the new Airstream Nest caravan which is roughly the same size and looks pretty comfortable. A single person (or a close couple) could probably easily share that for a couple years without going too crazy. Interestingly the Nest is about the same price - roughly $50k.
The rising tide lifts all technological boats, so it makes little since to compare today with historical water levels. Things can be overall cheaper compared to the past, but still anti-competitively hamstrung. If you can compare to costs of things in the past, you probably won't find any technology more expensive.
It does look like greydius is not a beginner but an intermediate/experienced dev. I am right now doing machine learning nanodegree and I have the same feedback. Its for beginners, not experienced devs. Experienced devs can digest the same stuff less than a month, if they simply provide the text.

That said, the fault is not his. Shitty udacity never ever mentions they are for beginners. They sell it as "career changing". So blame is on them.

I used to do mobile development. You need a strong portfolio to compete. I had made around 6 apps (some my ideas and some for clients) when I got my first mobile job. Consider making some novel apps without any expectation of being paid. Nothing guarantees you a job. If you’re not hearing back...there’s got to be a logical reason. Be honest with yourself and come up with a list of 25 things that will give you an edge and start doing them. Just don’t give up!

Regarding the education comment...I’m going to disagree with you there. Employers don’t care where you went to school. They care about what you’ve done in the past (doesn’t matter if it’s at work or on the side) and what you can bring to the table. I had to compete with people with PhDs for my current AV job but I got the job because of the whole package of skills that I bring rather than theoretical knowledge in a single niche topic.
What can we do as individuals? I already eat relatively little in the way of animal products, don’t drive much, don’t use a lot of electricity or natural gas at home…but one person behaving this way isn’t enough. The only way I see us fixing this is through enormous collective action: holding to account the top 100 companies who together are responsible for 71% of GHG emissions, completely phasing out gasoline-burning vehicles, taxing the hell out of fossil fuels and emissions including methane from industrial farms, powering electric vehicles with renewable/nuclear power, decommissioning coal power plants, investing in dense walkable/bikeable cities and high-quality public transportation, and investing in carbon sequestration tech.

I’m scared and I feel so powerless because of the sheer scale of the problem, and how a lot of people don’t even believe in the problem. It’s paralysing me.

Ask HN: What makes great real-time, turn-by-turn navigation software?
There are a handful of examples of open source, real-time, turn-by-turn navigation software out there. For example, https://github.com/valhalla/valhalla gives great turn-by-turn directions. I'm looking for best practices around navigation that will tell you to turn right in 300 feet as you're driving.

I'm curious about the high level, non-obvious gotchas in making them really useful to match current best offerings. Things like smoothing of gps (specific to the use case), better estimation techniques for current position/speed between gps updates, best practices around time estimation to next turn given current (estimated) position/speed, how best to determine when to reroute (how far is too far off route, how long to wait until rerouting), cheats people use to paper over bad data, etc.

Thanks!
You must be joking if your argument is that a closed system is in any way superior to an open one.

Android lets you install apps outside of play store, without any hard tech knowledge. That's not possible on Apple devices unless you are tech savvy and can go through a 10 step process.

This is interesting. I ctrl-f'd for "self-doc" because I was wondering when we will start seeing Terraform, Puppet, etc., have options to generate a diagram automatically as part of their normal operation. Self-documenting infrastructure would be a godsend. My organization is challenged by the lack of documentation of our infrastructure, especially.

edit: Most of the responses to the original post seem to be addressing the idea of understanding code through diagramming. I am _much_ more interested in understanding complex infrastructure through diagrams. What queues do we have, what are the producers, what are the consumers? Where is the database? What writes to it? What do we shard on?

Code's a lot slipperier to autodoc, and the slipperiness is a function of number of contributors.

Infrastructure, however, we have been herding (pun intended) to a more declarative, predictable paradigm for years which is great. So let's start building the auto-documentation stuff into e.g. Terraform, since infrastructure-as-code seems like the natural place for such useful side effects of provisioning assets.
> I like being able to go to just one store and get my Apps there.

But nobody is saying you can't or that it won't be curated or anything. The unfortunate part is some liking what ways others get their apps, not themselves. (granted I don't believe user freedom in this case should be government enforced, but we should all strive not to assume that our app retrieval methods are the best for others)
A fine is supposed to discourage people from breaking the law. Is it fair that wealthy people can ignore the laws because they do not feel any real consequenes?

I have heard drivers who constantly break the rules, because they can easily afford the fine. To them the occasional fine is just the price they have to pay for easy parking, or saving a minute on their drive.

What alternative do you suggest?

By that standard you could also propose that the poor should be fined even heavier because they are the lazy ones and should get punished for that.

There is no actual reasoning in your arguments why the fines should be the same for everybody, instead there is an argument why richer people should not be fined higher, while acknowledging that the height of a fine will impact people with differing levels of wealth in different ways.

Actually we need to think about why we are putting fines on people. The answer is: We want to deter bad behaviour. But if we take parking as an example: Some people do not mind a 25€ fine for bad parking because of their wealth so the fine doesn't work on them, while it works on other people. So our goal was to deter people from behaving in a certain way but we partially failed to do so. Now one option is to increase the ticket price for everyone (but I guess you are not arguing for that option). The other one is to attach the fine to income. The third option of doing nothing leads to a system where people can break the rules by being wealthy. But this is obviously one of the things that we seek to avoid in making rules for people to behave.
No, no, no, there's literature and then there's literature that gets paid by the word and has to be written fast. I'm sure they never met an adjective they didn't like. I get it, people need to make a living but it is still frustrating to read.

Literature does not have to be fluff. One of the best non-fiction books I've read that's both informative and has beautiful writing is, "On Immunity: An Inoculation " by Eula Biss. It's both informative and a pleasure to read.
That's a vast misinterpretation of what I wrote.

Even for those in absolute poverty, if they work twice the hours, they will earn twice the wage. It may be an increase from $5 a month to $10 a month, but it's still double.

The only time where twice the effort gives no gain is if you're doing something that has no gain at all. However, the poor work for cheap, not for free.
I have no desire to live in a 250 s.f. unit. What does my future look like? How would I raise kids, if I wanted to have them? I don't know how anyone outside of the top 3-5% pulls it off in San Francisco.
If you read the article, it's clear that "leaving the train of history" refers both to abandoning communism and to not subsequently "changing train" to another 20th C ideology (capitalism/Freudianism/refined Marxism), instead choosing to subscribe to Christianity (understood as a conservative orthodoxy).

So you're right about the association of historicism/Whig history with communism, but for Arendt that category (historicist ideologies) didn't just include communism.

This is pretty common in government agencies from what I've seen. Many contractors take forever to do even the most basic of changes because of how contracting works in order to milk as much money as possible.

But agencies that move towards open source initiatives, non-profits etc end up being a lot more responsive and overall end up a lot better off. Unfortunately there's a lot of entrenched commercial entities (ex Oracle) that want things to remain the same so it's going to be hard to rout them. Initiatives like this give me a bit of hope though.
How do peer reviews happen, then, if nobody gets paid to do them? Does research money (that goes to the production of the paper) not also cover peer-reviews?

Hearing Jonathan Blow talk about John Carmack is fascinating.

It's in some video or other, as it's a story Blow tells on himself when giving talks. He'd gone over the Doom source code when Carmack had open-sourced it, and Blow was appalled, because it was loaded with inefficient, crude, not-optimized stuff. Essentially, Doom source code was dumb and primitive.

Jonathan Blow's initial reaction was horror and contempt, because the code gave the impression that Carmack was just winging it most uncaringly. Later, Blow decided that this was a process of value judgement, and himself turned against trying to optimize and refine every little code style, in favor of doing stuff that didn't take nearly as much brain and ability to retain state. He took some of Carmack's dumbness and crudeness as an example of where to place your attention.

This is totally valid, while at the same time being a conscious decision to 'just wing it' in many senses. I do this myself, even on public-facing code. In a sense it's optimization and choosing to focus on areas where I can be more useful. At the same time, I'm literally just winging it and some of the things I'm not doing, I'm not doing because I'm too dumb to know how, and would be distracted by trying to learn. If I had great mastery of all these things it would affect my choices, but when I don't I'll take the Carmack path and ostentatiously do the 'crude' thing so I can lean on what I do have going for me.
Why is this being dug up from 2013, and not even marked as such?
> which ironically makes real security worse as it means you can't use retpoline

Why wouldn't the WASM JIT retpoline all code (probably only if the underlying processor needs it) rather than relying on the guest programs to do it themselves.

> HOWEVER it gives up on using guard pages and address randomization (systemic preventions against common bugs like buffer overflows), making WASM in practice less safe than C.

Once again, wouldn't the JIT be able to enforce this at runtime?

It's not like WASM binaries are referencing raw address offsets.
There have been plenty of real environments where NULL pointed to valid memory (AIX, for example)

It also has a reasonable use case ( or did, pre Spectre).

It allows you to hoist and speculate loads that may be null.
Since it is valid memory, instead of a fault, you would just get a result (usually zero on most of these platforms) you would throw away if it was not needed.
Is is possible that a similarly light-weight process would have been used if the correction had been submitted in a typewritten letter or over email?

Stack overflow is pretty popular. Although their recent attempt to "be nice to new users" (which wasn't necessary before, and coincides with the quality of answers rapidly approaching that of Quota) suggests that this won't last forever.
In academia (at least the hard sciences), no faculty are ever paid for publishing in mainstream, peer-reviewed journals. No reviewers are ever paid either, although recently Elsevier has started to publish the names of its "star reviewers", presumably as a token for the large investment in time and expertise required to evaluate papers for publication and improve the field. Even book deals (or editorships) yield no real income, beyond some nominal amount (between $0 and $50). What's more, the lay public is hilariously misinformed about this, believing that faculty, researchers, etc., are paid royalties for journal papers. Where they got this idea, I don't know ...
