Container tabs are so clunky in practice, they really need a lot of work. Google something in your Google container, click a link, and instead of just directing to the link, the link is opened in a new tab and the search result tab is closed instantly. You can't go back to the results, you have to unclose the tab.

Container tabs also were terrible if you needed a persistent login. My school proxy for journal subscriptions has like half a dozen redirects with different URL names, I either had to not use containers here or add an exception for every step in the login process that it would break because of the container system. I hated constantly running into problems with containers breaking websites and making browsing so cumbersome that I stopped using them entirely.

Like some of the esoteric Adblocker configurations favored here, they are good in principle, but in practice break 50% of websites on the internet without spending serious time crafting exceptions for every issue you run into on every new site you find.
I enjoy reading old books to see how little people have really changed over time fwiw.

Going off of that graph, we could 'bounce' and remain at non-inverted levels for a few more years as in 1995. But once the rates truly are inverted to a substantial degree, a recession generally follows within a couple years.
tough answer, contrasting with the other ones, but thanks for your view :)

honestly, as i want to make a career's switch to either product management or producing, i don't feel i'm on the cusp of major salary increases.

Either way i need to build a career borderline from the ground up. And it seems i'm lacking experience, especially in "execution", delivering stuff, and technical understanding, to be a product manager in a tech company like facebook.

So for now, it's the only concrete offer i got.

You would still advise against it? Big studio (with good reputation), big game...
The alarm is that bond yields are more or less `yield = (k / economic confidence)` - if people are confident then they don't buy bonds, so the price of bonds falls, so the yield (which is annualized return) rises. (Thus recessions lead to falling interest rates as people seek safe harbors for money, making credit cheaper.)

What this means is that the bond market thinks available bond yields for cash-on-hand will be lower in three years than five, so they're willing to take a hit now to lock in the longer-term payout. That reflects serious economic pessimism.
Progress is being made. The price of graphene has come down a lot in recent years. There's a new process by which you can coat a cd with graphite oxide and selectively burn paths of graphene with a LightScribe laser. At this point its pretty trivial to create flakes of graphene at home with some basic chemistry equipment. (enough to make your own 1 farad supercapacitor!)

People who honestly hold strong principles are usually focused on doing whatever they can to achieve their goals. Many times the best way to do that is by working within the system.

Think of things like the Civil Rights Act... it was passed by people with conviction that worked within the system (or at least some of them worked within the system)

Were the congresspeople who pushed the law through hypocrites because they worked within a system that was horribly oppressive towards minorities?

For long term rates nobody really knows because for the last 10 years central banks have been buying trillions of the stuff. The US Fed has started selling some and long term rates were rising until the Nov stockmarket selloff. No one is sure what is going to happen next. If we go into recession again with no inflation - long term rates are too high. If inflation picks up, current long term rates are way too low. If the government keeps running huge deficits and Fed keeps selling, long term rates could pick up. Unless Europeans and Asians start buying again of course.
Also a waste, since opiates are so good on their own.

I probably failed to express a particular direction I was arguing for.

I was imagining a particular approach where ./mysolution is the delivered artifact that has compiled in business logic modules, all the technical modules, eg in memory caches, etc (basically anything that does not demand on horizontally distributed infrastructure for a single instantiation).

./mysolution -start="myxyz_microservice" -start="myabc_microservice" -common_cfg=/etc/myxyz/common_config.cfg

would allow to instantiate different parts of the system (by specifying different startup name) that use the same executable (jar/.net assembly) and the same config.
on chosen set of hosts or containers.

Clearly a few foundational services cannot be 'compiled' in.

Analogy, may be a bit too far fetch, is why unikernels (eg includeos.org ) are attractive design approach.

They simplify deployment, reasoning about versions of components(and therefore security), they and speed up cold restart time.

That 'single jar' does not eliminate the need for OS containers (docker, bsd jails), of course.

But because of common configuration, and compiled in parts -- the docker/ or host os configuration for such solutions, in my view, would be simpler than for the 'stitched together by configs, version dependencies, and config templates' solutions.
That's because at this time parents manage to do the following two seemingly incompatible things:

1) pay no attention to the kids (got to do Netflix! Read HackerNews! Enjoy my hobbies!)

2) demand that the entire universe of everyone else revolved around their kids and those kids be protected against any possible exposure to the negative thoughts -- "Good vibes only!"

So by the time kids become semi-autonomous adults they quite literally do not know what to do when anyone or anything does not fit into reality their parents managed to construct for them.

How do I edit a jupyter notebook ipynb file with python?
I wrote a simple note taking application that automates a few things for me when writing notes in markdown style. I can share the gitlab link if need be but perhaps a small description of my problem might be enough...

My python application which is very dumb and simple (does what I want) accomplishes a few simple tasks like...

* Inserting a markdown style timestamp for each new entry which links to a table of contents section name

* Logging complex commands from your bash_history at the end of the day

* Automatically archiving notes in a file using a markdown style table of contents

* Automatically syncing your notes (using git) with a remote repo on a hosting service like GitHub.

This all works fine if I'm taking notes using a simple .md (markdown) file. However, if I want automate this in the same way with a jupyter notebook ipynb file it becomes extremely more complicated. The ipynb file looks like it's in a json'ish format where some of it looks enrypted and apparently i need to have a notebook server running to open it??

Much of my text that isn't code in my personal jupyter notebook is formatted in markdown. I have a markdown style table of contents very similar to how I mentioned above. Therefore, it would really be nice if I could open a ipynb file like i do with python, sort it, write a line of text to it. How do I accomplish this?

Currently, I do something like the following when I want to insert some text into a .md (markdown) file. Which is simple...

with open(somefile, 'r') as f:

lines = f.readlines()

lines.insert(lineNumberToInsertAt, someText)

with open(somefile, 'w') as f:

f.writelines(lines)

I can't just open a ipynb file like this and write to it so how can I accomplish this?

Also I'm new to this site and noticed that there are some links that say "Ask HN: Some question". How do I appropriately post questions versus clogging up the main page which is more for articles?
Not knowing about Serbia specifically, but know about highly corrupt countries. Reporting to police has its own risks, through most likely they will ignore you. Ignore because don't care or ignore because they are friends with perpetrators. Also, it is highly likely they don't talk English enough.

With there being no proof, you likely saved yourself pointless frustrating experience.

Yes. It is not political censorship, however. There's a spectrum of speech, and political speech is generally considered to be the most important kind when it comes to freedom of speech protections.

Claiming victory with 0% market share? Seems legit...
[Edited] As described by the IS-LM model, government deficits tend to do three things:

-Increase output (more people working/getting paid)

-Decrease economic investment (investors put dollars in treasuries instead of private sector projects)

-Increase interest rates (fewer investor dollars to go toward private sector projects, since some have been diverted to government debt/production)

However, the Fed usually tries to account for this force in their monetary policy (see monetary offset):https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-07-20/fed-im...

This is an excellent point that a lot of people overlook. In some parks the cairns are so far apart that creating a new "pseudo cairn" can cause some serious navigational inconvenience. There's nothing more annoying than having to constantly double back and recheck against a trail map because some individual has decided to exercise a best neglected artistic flair. They should save it for their own garden.
Great explanation.

What about the fact that US treasury is issuing more bonds to fund extremely large deficits? How does that play into the equation you described?

Wouldn't so many bonds flood the market with bonds available and thus raise the yield rates on 10-year?
> I know I personally would much rather have limited access than no access

Inspiring.

Anyone know any problem-books that could match the (implied) breadth of the one indicated?

"I went back to the library and found the mathematics book with the largest number of problems. The book was in Russian, and I didn’t know Russian, but a young linguist is not afraid to pick up another language."
In general, when longer term bonds have higher yields, this is investors saying "compensate me for the opportunity cost of not being in stocks or riskier assets over that term". What matters is that the yield curve goes up as the maturity date goes out in the future, signaling a healthy outlook for risker assets. If the yield curve inverts, this can be interpreted as investors saying "the longer term outlook for riskier assets like stocks is not good, so I don't need compensation for longer term less risky bonds, just get me out of the market." It is a remarkably reliable indicator of future trouble for stocks.

I disagree with the premise that everything is bytes - Harvard architecture computers more cleanly separate nouns (the data) from verbs (the instructions). There is no fundamental requirement the two be mixed although it is done for convenience. With fixed function hardware there is no binary code to execute at all.

Objects - which make verbs first class citizens more cleanly represent the true state of affairs and cover a much broader variety of cases more cleanly.
so there is starting to begin some panic but its not in full swing yet.
Most likely because they were mass produced by Ford for commercial fleets - most notably for many (if not most) police departments in the United States and Canada. Ford stopped producing them in 2011, so they've slowly been making their way out of the rotation.
Maybe calling it something a little more accurate like "baby Chrome wannabe" would be better than "Chrome Killer" ;-)
Hopefully I can justify the reasoning behind this with the following:

A circle is defined as the set of all points in a 2-dimensional space equidistant to a given center point (the distance being the circle's radius).

A sphere is defined as the set of all points in a 3-dimensional space equidistant to a given center point.

A line in 1-d does not analogize to this definition but a point does.

> You're describing what protein design researchers have been doing already for years already.

If that’s so, can you link to any supplementary material about it? Particularly with respect to how machine learning is being used, how the candidate selection process works etc. I’m curious about the subject.

> Except for predicting the desired function, which AlphaFold doesn't do either - as the structural genomics projects of the 2000s found out, having the protein structure doesn't magically tell you what it does in vivo.

Protein function prediction is a real thing, and it requires knowing the structure. Good structure prediction is a step towards this.
Yeah. Maybe that's the outside view, or view from the surface level folks concerned with the next shiny framework, but I think the best engineers are always at least a little enamored with deeper nuts and bolts.
If what they need is political censorship, complete with tools to find online dissenters and jail them (remember, one of the charges is that Dragonfly links search queries to specific people), they can damn well make it themselves, or find another source for it. I don't see why we should allow an American company to be involved in something like that. Principles matter.
While I strongly oppose the tech company censorship push societal morality is utterly dubious. As in let me know when you find anything worthy of the name. Seriously "moral" society has condoned all sorts of utterly fucked up things while stridently opposing harmless and helpful things for the stupidest reasons.

Have there not been rather overwhelming number of reports/studies that say that opioid prescriptions for medical pain relieve do not contribute to drug addiction? As I understand it, drug addicts usually start with opioid pain relievers by getting it from friends/family since that's the easiest way to start, but if ease of access is relevant to drug addiction rates is questionable since then the war on drugs should also have worked by making drugs harder to access.

Increased suicide rates, depressions, and loneliness seems a much more likely culprit for increase addiction behavior in a nation.
