Excuse me for a stupid question, how does Semantic UI compare to React and Angular? I seek to pick up a framework and start developing browser-based GUI apps and don't know which to choose. I want to just layout GUI widgets and code the logic without using any Photoshop or anything like that.
True. But wasn't it the hydrogen explosion that popped the containment? Not that there was all that much containment, in any case.

I wonder why stings/bait-items aren't used more often, when an area is facing a rash of specific kinds of crime, like bike theft, parked-car smash-and-grabs, and package theft.

It's often a small number of violators – sometimes professional – who've been emboldened by early successes to scale up. So just a few stings, with adequate follow-through prosecution, could have a highly-leveraged effect on the overall rate.

The issue (today) is not whether animals have cognition, but the extent and nature of that cognition.

In the present case, the research question is whether animals have a conception of self. This is necessarily a fuzzy concept.

The test that has been used many times and with many variations basically involves providing a mirror and a condition that is only noticeable as applying to oneself by relating the image in the mirror as representing one's own body.

However, the test probe is merely an instrument used to measure an underlying construct. That is, there is an assumption that to solve the test particular cognitive processes are invoked.

But a test probe may be solved using processes or strategies other than those for which the probe was designed to measure.

Cleaner Wrasse fish have many instincts that reflect school behaviors, especially in young fish. School like behavior: One fish turns, then it turns, suggest strong control over behavior by the sight of other fish..including those seen in a mirror.

I suspect this mirroring system is having an influence on the fish's behavior here. It sees another fish with a skin condition (a mark), which may have activated cleaning behavior in itself.

They're different things. Semantic is the UI framework that you can use from React (in fact, there is a react-semantic-ui npm) or other.

React will deal with lifecycle of objects on the screen and state machines to mutate them, but the actual look & feel of the widgetry is defined by whatever ui framework you decide to use (bootstrap, semantic, blueprint, etc).

Shameless plug: I just put `rbx` 1.0 together which has 100% coverage and fully implements the Bulma framework for React.

Every component has a story, and it’s written in TypeScript (transpiled to JS). I hope to get around to releasing this big update on npm tonight(!) but for now you can use the code straight from GitHub.

Also, the wrapping is complete yet minimal - there are only a couple components with state and you can override those with a `managed` flag.

Also, every component supports ref forwarding (using of course `ref`), and can render as any other component using the `as` prop. For example, if you want to bring your own Form, Link, or Table framework, this will work with that seemlessly.

What I mean by using existing tools is based on my experience using it in production. I doubt docker can do similar. In order to create an image of container I just use the same chef, puppet or ansible playbook I will use for a physical server or a google compute instance i.e. launch a base container,run the playbook on container and then save it as a versioned image in a private image repository if it passes all the tests.

LXD makes it such a trivial job to host private image repository and serve it to a large cluster automatically that I don't need to break a sweat.

This way my infrastructure code is uniform be it compute instance, physical servers or containers. This is a beautiful thing in terms of infrastructure management be it micro-services architecture or monolith.

In our case all the code which launches container, create images, or launch physical server is same codebase following a unified pattern of doing things. In our setup we used many playbooks which we can built leveraging the work done by community for physical servers, VM's and containers.

In the docker world I cannot trust an image completely until I go through the code which is a mixture of how an image is built and which layers are used. If the image is built using successive images I need to really go back to each image code which is again a mixture of scripts, Dockerfile. Being a follower of Zen of Python PEP-20, I like explicit and hence like to know the details of images for use in production and generate them myself from base os images.

I was one of the first users of Docker when it was released, but was bit disappointed later when they try to move away from LXC to built their own layer. I wrote a blog post on it at http://www.vyomtech.com/2014/03/04/docker_and_linux_containe...

I find Semantic's React library to be great and it's well maintained, so if you're using React, I think it has a leg up over Bootstrap there, also just more keen on the aesthetic and design choices.
I think it is a bit generous to call an AI's behavior in those areas "high-level reasoning" :)

It is certainly quite impressive. But it seems to me that the paradox is neatly solved by comparing the how well-constrained the activity is.

Movement and (especially) visual processing are incredibly general problems. Where as board games are very narrow, well-constrained problems.

It always interesting when people expect AI to robustly and effectively process visual content without first actually understanding the world (which obviously no AI is even close to doing).
As a physics major who the requirements helped, especially my philosophy courses (an intro one and a Philosophy of Science course), I think a lot of it comes down to teachers, and how the material is presented. It was never presented to me as boring, and the teachers never tried to claim it was more important than science or the end-all-be-all of the future. And all of that eventually led me down the road where I'd rather do more work in the humanities than anything science related, and would love to do humanities/liberal arts research professionally.

That said, I think some of the problem is the mindset STEM people are kinda forced into -- one solution, and it has to be a scientific one. It makes the whole world boil down into an engineering problem, and anyone who doesn't like it/doesn't agree can be damned because "look at what science has done"/
Exactly the correct point... it's not possible. You have to keep your money in there for a while (minimum thresholds)- there are probably caveats that you need to turnover a certain % of your Mastercard (since part of that 3% is on chargebacks). short term (1 year) treasuries are yielding 2.7%... so the only way to get 3% is to take more risk. Risky proposal to park your money with robin hood.

Well, At first semantic UI is a UI library which helps in providing pre-built UI components. React and Angular are Frontend frameworks, which helps in performance and code modularity. Photoshop is a photo editor, although people used to make layouts with it long ago,,, not anymore, instead people are using Sketch. You can of course code the logic using plain simple JS, HTML, CSS and you can make widgets as well, unless you mean desktop widgets - for that you need electron.

Surprised to see this, but good on them for fixing the XSS issues!
Unfortunately, many don't seem to see the point of things as learning "what it means to be a person". They want everything to boil down to a nice engineering problem that, while complex, is solvable with one solution being better/easier. I remember reading an HN post about "Not everything is an engineering problem" and, if I'm not mistaken, the top comment was basically "Like hell it isn't." That's the bigger issue, imo, the mindset we've pushed into people about STEM being the end-all-be-all, and how it's the One True Way, or whatnot. We have, as a group, completely devalued the liberal arts and now are seeing the effects of that and wondering why people don't see the need for them (and I say that as a former STEM-Lord convert).
I haven't had any packages stolen for the last few years. We have a large "toy box" on the front porch/deck that has a padlock on it. When expecting deliveries, we just leave the lock unlocked and leave a note to put the delivery in the box and lock it. So far, so good! I can't say the same for my neighbor though. He was hit last week, and is now going to build a box. It was less than $60 to make (3/4" plywood, 2x4's, stain, lacquer, hinges, padlock) and is too heavy for a single person to lift when empty.

"Other nation-states in the Asia Pacific would be perfectly willing to start taking our orders for commercial goods."

They would if they could. Most other nations are nowhere near the level of sophistication of China on 'making stuff'. It's not just cheap labour, it's a myriad of other things related to it that China specializes in.

China is not trying to take over the world, they just want to be the 'superpower' in their sphere, and to be the centre of their Universe.

Which is fine in some ways, problematic in others.

> At least but not at last Electron apps are so slow to start and so hardware-hungry I actually doubt it is going to become a truly mainstream platform for desktop applications

Nobody is going to write a Photoshop or a music production software in Electron. You need C++ for that kind of stuff. Neither PyQt or WinForms cuts it. Apps like that use custom GUIs built directly over OpenGL/Direct3D.

But I have a feeling your app is no Photoshop either.
No, but oddly, you can do almost anything else. Most activity in China does not feel as though it's too intruded upon by the gov.. If you don't run afoul of the party apparatus, it's not unlike many other places. I'm not justifying anything other than to say it's not a dystopia for most.

One can compare such permanent fires with a dragon that lives near a village and eats people from time to time. And every time, it takes a reward from a village chief to find a hero and kill the dragon.

I think the biggest difference other then the protocol is the tiered nature of vitess. Vitess has a different process that serves as the gateway and router while I believe Citis uses a plug-in inside postgres, and uses postgres to handle the connections.

Not knowing more about how Citus does it's sharding indexing I am sure there are differences there but I don't think I could explain them. Vitess has a very flexible and extendable sharding index that gives a lot of control over data locality to the user.
> Scylla works within different AZs too

Did your test use this feature of Scylla? As I understand the documentation, it doesn't appear so (maybe that needs to be fixed). If that's the case, do you think this is an example of being diligent in your fairness?

> Only a decrease in the rate solved it.

I don't think that is the only way to solve it. Something is probably wrong here, and I would expect that diligence to fairness would dictate trying to understand and correct that. This benchmark would be more compelling if problems like this weren't just ignored, but actually solved. Any team that cares about the cost of their database would do that.

> It isn't optimal for Dynamo but that's life.

Yes, life is unfair and this can happen. This test specifically claimed to be fair, though. Again, for this benchmark to be meaningful and compelling, this kind of thing should be addressed.

> The only use case where Dynamo is better in price is when you store lots of data but with a tiny IOPS reservation

This is a surprising statement. If this is the case, I highly recommend addressing the issues so that you are using DynamoDB like a typical engineering team would. A blanket statement like this with questionable benchmarks as evidence is just not compelling. It would be much more helpful to see where DynamoDB really can't stand a chance competing against ScyllaDB even when it's fully optimiized.

Are you ignoring maintenance costs? Do nodes get added and removed without paying an engineer? How do you keep the nodes up-to-date as far as security updates or adding new features? How much overhead cost is engineering on-call to respond when the cluster has issues (e.g. nearing capacity limits, nodes failing, loss of AZ availability)?

I'm also curious if you are only considering use cases that you typically already see on ScyllaDB and Cassandra. How about the use case where I have a load that increases without warning by 10x or where I need regular backups or that requires 5000 nodes?

Ask HN: I’ve got a well paying job, but I’m depressed, what should I do?
Backstory:

I’m young, I’ve got a great paying job, enough to sustain my family on my income alone - but I’ve become incredibly depressed. The commute to my job is 2 hours each way, I end up working 12-14 hours a day, the office I’m in, the other employees segment me, they don’t talk to me, and they’re constantly rude to me. I’m marginally younger than the rest.

I’m depressed because it feels like I’m living a nightmare going into work, it’s torture to walk into there and know everyone hates me, and the worst part is I don’t know why. I’ve confronted said people, and they won’t even explain, nor acknowledge my existence.
