My point is that science isn't clear cut, and by definition a minority dissenting opinion is what furthers science. Sometimes that dissent violates a sacred principle, such as Galileo and many others did. The concept of what is sacred evolved and now practically all of us believe in modifications that allow these ideas. Science is a process that aids this change.

Therefore if a scientist when expressing an idea meet an opposition that;

- involves sacredness partially or fully as a principle for rejecting it

- threatens with severe social sanctions or exceptional actions if their favored sacredness isn't respected

Then we have hit something where the ones that have these sacred principles should have to justify their arguments as papers as well. There needs to be some negative response to using sacredness partially or fully as a way to reject ideas, because that is how we protect the scientific process from the corruption due to flaws in human nature.

If the only thing that stops that from happening is publishing the paper then we should err on publishing it when in doubt so that we can find the truth. If they believe so much that this is wrong, let them put their reputation behind their sacredness principles in another paper objecting to this paper and let us all criticize those as well.

Instead of enquing a job you’d just write to an SQS queue and have a lambda as your “job handler” using the queue as an event source.

Boom, no need for Active Job.

Welcome to Serverless.

There’s going to be a lot of people trying to do things the “rails way” on serverless and it’s going to be a little confusing for a while. Many will write it off, some will creat innovative new gems. And of course the Ruby community will come up with the best abstraction for SAM templates and deployment, because we like nice tools.
Dreaming on the Untamed Net: The Rise and Decline of Furcadia
I sort of wanted them (NPR) to say "but how can you have a driveway moment on transit?". Listening to NPR is one of the very few redeeming features of driving to work.
IMO:

* Capitalism naturally leads to growing wealth concentration/inequality over time, especially when combined with automation and globalization

* People say “one person being richer doesn’t make you poorer”, but that’s BS. When people compete for scarce resources, i.e. homes in cities, the wealthy can outbid the middle class constantly

* I think that home ownership in cities becoming unaffordable for the middle class is mostly a result of the wealthy gobbling up property

I don’t think there was an intentional “fuck our kids” push from boomers, this is just the natural result of unchecked capitalism and growing wealth inequality. It won’t be reversed until we do something to REDUCE wealth inequality, which I don’t see happening any time soon. If wealth inequality keeps increasing, of course desirable scarce resources will be increasingly owned by the ever-wealthier upper class.
"according to a Blind report."

That's a built-in selection bias.
Really excited that they were able to release this layer. With the changes to the license of MongoDB it could give people a real alternative.
Most people use Sidekiq which uses Redis for ActiveJob. If there was an Lambda backend then you could get rid of Redis.
Awesome stuff. Kafka has been out of reach for our small org because we simply don't have the resources to manage a prod Kafka+zookeeper cluster. Kinesis has never anywhere near feature parity with Kafka. Ktables on AWS here we come!
Before SPA, one could restrict 3rd party scripts from being alive on the payment page.

With the rise of SPAs, it seems there's going to be more and more 3rd party scripts unintentionally running on payment pages.

IMO, most of the advice given to to the stuff Haunted says is usually the same no matter who the advice giver is. "Just be yourself", "If you stopped being so negative all the time you would be happier", "You can do whatever you want to do", "The only person holding yourself back is you".

I've read a lot of this stuff and it generally feels like a wash. Like someone who has already overcame their problems and is at the high point is giving you these answers and to be honest, there isn't really much advice you can give unless you know them personally. There isn't much you can give a person who is feeling empty and disheartened.
C only defines char, short, int has having a minimum size of 8, 16 and 32 bits.

3 weeks is good. It took me 3 years to get to 3 weeks vacation in the first company I was at. I was a product designer working for Google.
What on earth is the purpose of non-informative comments from non-informed accounts like these:

- I started listening to this yesterday and really like it! Great, short videos!

- Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

- Great work Bob!

- this is great

The same time you can't find other background info about the company except that they collect VC money and the video's you create are MIT licensed.
When I was in Boston and her in NYC we would drive up every other weekend to visit. I moved to the west coast and tried to make one trip every other month while we did the long distance thing.. she eventually got a job at my company and for the past two years we've been living together. However we both are about ready to move again and are preparing to be separated again, but this time we're trying to align our movements to reduce the amount of time we'll be apart.
Well, hopefully they’ll use these funds to improve the product..
I’m not OP, but if I were solving this I’d just take the smallest square less than that number, figure out where it is (the top left or bottom right corner), and then “run” the algorithm from there, which should only require one “turn” at the most. You really don’t need to know anything about spirals in particular; just look for a pattern that you can take advantage of to reduce your work.
"We live in a consumerist culture increasingly dominated by those with a financial interest in keeping us ignorant of this fact, but that doesn't make it any less true."

I do suspect that there is an emphasis on pushing little children harder academically now than there was in the past. They were still doing half-day kindergarten when I was five, and the majority of the curriculum was "don't bite the other kids and play nicely." The height of first-grade was basic phonics, single digit addition and subtraction, and coloring between the lines.
I highly recommend How To Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. He convincingly illustrates how detrimental to serious research were Leary and his penchant for the spectacular.
Starting to happen here as well.

My South Bay neighborhood: 8 months ago, a 1300 sqft 3 bed/2 bath sold for a staggering $2.4M. It’s still being renovated. They almost tore the whole place down with only outer walls and roof standing.

Last week, a 1500 sqft 4 bed/2 bath just a few houses down the road went under contract for $2M, after multiple price reductions.

It's a poor headline as it's not just the wealthiest:

> But agents said the slowdown extends beyond new condos, hitting every segment of the market. While the cooling is more significant at the high-end, smaller units also are affected. In the third quarter, the median price for a one-bedroom Manhattan home was $815,000, down 4% from the same period in 2017. The volume of sales fell 12.7%.

> “What’s most significant about 2018 is that even the sub-$1 million market is slowing because of rising mortgage rates,” said appraiser Jonathan Miller. Rates for a 30-year mortgage averaged 4.81% in late November, up nearly a full percentage point from the beginning of the year, according to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Higher interest rates and lack of SALT deduction are a big double whammy for the non uber-wealthy (who can afford to move to optimize taxes).
This is my new favourite conspiracy theory. Was very entertained on my morning commute!

That's a fair point. Apple still delights a lot of their customers but there are still a lot of maddening UI/UX problems in a number of their products.

And iCloud is pretty far behind Google on consumer cloud services. And really, Google is only widening the gap.
Not the OP, but uh, no neither of those are "professional" in the sense that professional should use them, regardless of the plain fact that "professionals" do use them.

Those are both garbage languages, despite their utility.
You won’t need Sidekiq either.
One of the nice things about Downtown LA's recent building renaissance is that the overwhelming majority of property owners don't wait for the whale retail tenants.

Largely this is because in LA most companies/residents strongly prefer buildings with occupied ground-level, to the point where otherwise identical buildings with differences in ground-level occupancy can see double digit differences in above-ground occupancy rates! (This played out earlier this year and last year in the Little Tokyo and South Park neighborhoods.) Due to the sprawl of LA, ground-level commercial spaces don't command a significant enough premium over the above-ground offices/apartments rental prices to let the ground level remain empty.

In contrast, in NY, land, office space, and residential space is at such a premium that tenants don't really have much of a choice, so landlords can afford to wait out poor leasing conditions for their ground-level units since an empty storefront doesn't impact the rent they can charge for their above-ground units.
I wouldn't call it feminism, but the lingering effects of the sexual revolution, which was dominated heavily by male interest. (Read Dworkin's "Right Wing Women." TLDR version, the sexual revolution was heavily influenced by male desire to make women more sexually available: https://www.feministes-radicales.org/wp-content/uploads/2010... (pp. 94-95)) Iliza Shlesinger has a great point about this in one of her routines.

> You’ve also been holding in… your intentions. We have this really nasty habit in our society of labeling women very cruel and unfair things when they express their desire for very normal things. Monogamy, exclusivity, a relationship, a family, babies. Right? We like to call them desperate, sad, psychos, baby crazy. “We’ve been married for six years. She already wants a kid! I’m a fuck man! They can’t get me.” It’s very normal to want these things.

Careful with those headlines - the details corroborate the parent comment.

Millennials don't own as many cars because they are poorer than their parents were at the same age. Of the millennials that are financially independent from their parents, car ownership is steady or higher (relative to previous generations).

Sure, if they took away the source code. But they only looked at the source code. It's not illegal to look at something in a department store.
As other posters mention, no path in life is guaranteed to be fulfilling for all individuals. Given that, you shouldn't feel sorry for anyone who has had the opportunity to lead their life according to their own principles. And that is all "feminists" want, the ability for women/all people to be considered equal, responsible agents.
Anecdotal evidence isn't enough. There is actual neurological evidence that those with ADHD have mismatching development of their motor cortex and their PFC which controls the executive functioning of the brain. Most meta analyses of the diagnoses in recent years do not support your skepticism, in fact, some researchers believe the condition is properly or even UNDER diagnosed.
Somebody needed to park money somewhere.
Well, as a Clippers fan, Ballmer is such a step up (albeit such a low bar from Sterling). Being an NBA owner is a lot easier than running one of the world's largest companies: Be willing to pay for a few smart/modern execs, splurge on a few players, and the rest kind of runs itself.

Oh, and be in the second largest media market in the country.
I did not know it, but apparently the song(?) was inspired by an article from Chicago Tribune

Traditionally the register size was too small, it's very common to have numbers above 256 or 65536. It's not true anymore with 32 bits numbers and a limit of 2 billion.
Not going to happen. You think NYC is overpriced? Look at Philadelphia. Or Boston. Until those prices come down NYC will continue to maintain.
The problem with overflow isn't just needing to store numbers larger than 2 billion. Sometimes, intermediate values are larger than that even if the final result isn't.

Take averaging as a very simple example. Doing (a + b) / 2 will overflow if a and b are sufficiently large, even if the average will always fit in 32 bits. Things like this go unseen for years.
Actual paper (paywall but abstract available):
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1806828?query=fe...

One part out of many that interested me in the discussion:
"data from insurance claims do not allow us to determine when a child starts school. Parents may delay school entry for children born in August, which would mean that those children start school at 6 years of age rather than 5 years of age. Because we did not directly observe children’s ages when they entered school, we cannot know how often this occurred"

There are other confounds, but suffice to say that this is not a very well controlled cohort study. It is however interesting for guiding further research.
Shouldn’t all this be a responsibly of local government that will get influx of tax revenues?
Actually C defines the minimum size of "int" as 16 bits, because it defines the minimum range it should support as [-32768 .. 32767]

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types
You might want to re-evaluate that line of thinking:

Your primary residence is an investment, just not one you can liquidate at will (or at all in some cases) or that you can expect to appreciate.

Your 2-N homes are also investments, just riskier ones than they were thought to be previously. Whether people know this or are just blindly parroting outdated advice remains to be seen.
Not only feminism. The media, the government, capitalism and globalism. Everyone is selling lies. It is how it works: You should not believe what they tell you. Probably doesn't work in your advantage either.

Think about it like the stock market: Would you buy a stock that it is being pumped by the media. Maybe yes, maybe not. But if someone is profiting it is probably not you.
This is awesome. Kafka were super fragile to me. Every version will come with all kind of issues and I have to restart here and there :(.

Right now I'm trying to debug this issue: https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/208764/kafka-err...

I'm not a fan of Kafka though but you sometimes have to managed stuf fyou don't like anyway.

So this is great news. AWS truly listen to their customers I think.
This is the elephant in the room that most people don't want to discuss. Young women get confused, they are able to "short term date" men out of their league and so then balk at men who are their equals. I've seen a number of awkward marriage dynamics where the women was used to dating men of higher caliber than the man she married.
Ritalin is a great solution, actually. It completely changed my life for the better.

Don't dismiss a solution just because "it's a drug". It is, but for people who truly have ADHD, it's so much more.
> Today we are experimenting with new phenomena that have never been available to humanity en mass. Effective birth control, gender equality, freedom from restrictive social norms, all of these are very new, and indeed evolutionarily novel.

In brief, I would sum this up as "modernity."

> Eventually through trial and error, and a kind of evolutionary process, we’ll figure it out, and then that will get passed down as the new value system.

It has been said, by some philosopher or other, that "modernity selects for those who don't adopt it."

It means, when you look around the world, the people having the most babies are the people who have adopted the least of these new aspects of society. At this rate the future ought to look more like the past than like a continuation of the trends we see today. Just due to the fact that our modern society depresses birth rates.

Maybe there will be mitigating factors? Perhaps we'll reach a balance? Unknown.

One interesting demographic fact. If current birthrates persist the United States of America will be majority Amish by 2200. Something to think about. ;)

That's huge. I could have used this a few years ago
I'm curious about those surveys, if you feel you could present them in a way that won't upset people with you. As a Millennial who teaches Gen Zers, observing the micro-generational differences and comparing them to reported trends (and trying to figure out what is simply a difference of age) is always interesting to me.
Just to note, the $.21/hr broker is on an m5.large (2 cpu, 8 GB mem), which goes for $.096/hr.

We run three nodes right now on m5.xlarge instances. At $.42/hr for the managed kafka, compared to $.192/hr self hosted kafka, I think we'll keep it self hosted for now...
I haven’t personally played with scala yet, but do you need to add any additional runtime components for it to work? Or perhaps scalaz? Or is it just making a .jar and you are good to go? :)
Probably implementation dependent, but the COBOL I used that put me through college used some variation of BCD (binary coded decimal).
I researched ADHD and was a teacher to boot. You wouldn't think it's about human productivity when you have ADHD children standing on their chairs, shouting, wandering the classroom during examinations. It's a serious neurological disability and it's not just down to societal pressures for productivity.

Some sad facts: Those with ADHD are much more likely to be friendless, to have fights with parents, to abuse alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, and cocaine, and to develop mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and conduct disorder. The brain of those with ADHD is not "normally" developed and that leads to a lot of issues.
> more and more full city blocks of store fronts sit empty

Large parts of Tribeca right now are empty and boarded up. You'd think it was London during The Blitz and everyone was just hiding or something.

For all that people complain about SF, it's pretty amazing that you can go there after not having visited for ten years and not a single thing has changed. All the houses are the same color, all the same little shops and restaurants are still in business, etc. Whereas you walk down St. Marks or Carmine St. and the majority of businesses are less than a year old.

Everything You Need to Know About Animoji and Memoji
>I say this is bad advice not because I think what makes me happy will make everyone happy.

Agreed it won’t intrinsically make everyone happy, but ignoring the suburbs/kids aspect, what you are really describing, I think, is stability and that is a prerequisite for mental health and happiness.

Lack of stability, at any age, but particularly for children is significantly damaging to mental health.

I used to work briefly in dependency court (where the state intervenes when children are abused, abadonded and neglected). These children are subjected to psychiatric evaluations and they all say the same thing, lack of stability in the home devastates a child’s mental health (but also does the same to adults).

Travel/adventure are great in the context of a stable life, but on its own suggest a likelihood instability and thus mental health problems that make happiness damn near impossible. On the other hand if this person were to have sacrificed their travels early on to plant roots, that doesn’t really guarantee stability either, especially in this day and age where even if you do everything right odds are you might face the instability of employment, income, health, relationships, etc...
Indeed. If you're signing multi-year contracts, losing 12 months of rent can be a smaller hit than signing a contract for a lower price.

Is HN ever going to stop falling for this type of headline? There's absolutely no new information in this article at all; it's just a summary of the basic history and recent news about Apple, with a couple personal sentences from the author thrown in. This is classic clickbait.
There are people who are perpetually single, with pretty much no relationships at all in their adult life. I don't know what is worse - having a handful of relationships that don't last a long time, or not having relationships at all.

We have so many communication tools at our disposal today - ideally, it should be ridiculously easy to make friends, love/date etc as one can reach a person on the other side of the planet. And yet, more people are single and lonely than ever :(

My little brother killed himself last month.

In march of 2016, Asana also raised $50 million. Sam Altman led that round, at a valuation of $550 million. Crunchbase wrongfully states that YC led it.

If Sam Altman's investment exits add such amounts to his bank reserve that the reserve gets bigger than $10 million, he spends the surplus above that $10 million on 'improving humanity,' which I read as charity. (1)

Russian Charged in Hacking Scheme Targeting Pittsburgh National Golf Course
Aside from the other responses mentioning why cheating wouldn’t work, I don’t think it’s out of the question that people can solve these that quickly. The “trick”, from my experience, has been to quickly skim the problem, extract useful information (which you can “learn” to do if you do it enough), and try to figure out how to solve the problem while you are writing boilerplate to set up the problem. Using Python or a similarly high-level language often helps.
