Remember a lot of people in the US are in single family homes detached from another home. When I lived in a condo or apartment they could other leave a special key for big boxes in your normal mailbox. You would leave the key in the special mailbox for later. Or they would put it in your rental office. Large condos will have a concierge that will handle it for you.

Usually UPS will put it somewhere out of sight if they think it will be an issue.
I suspect that in the next ~30yr we'll either find planet 9 or find something else to explain the odd orbits of small things beyond Neptune. There's been a ton of progress in our understanding of that part of the solar system in the last 20yr.

Part of the reason, at least in some cases, must be apathy and laziness. USPS never rings my doorbell when they deliver, nor will they put the package anywhere it's not easily visible from the street, despite there being a couple of easy ways to do this.
If you were asking how Harris and Peterson can be linked, they've debated publicly and have hosted discussions with one another on their podcasts.
the mistake is simply that G(h(t)) = F(h(t))/dt, rather than G(h(t)) = F(h(t))/dt + h(t), i.e. it's only in the text following the inset equations. you can verify this by looking at the "Evaluating ODEs" section.

Reason 5: Nomenclature

That is problem with every single programming language out there.

- Python array are not called arrays because they are not array in C/C++ sense. It's like saying in C++ lists are called vector and not lists/ArrayList etc.

- Python library naming is inconsistent like PyGame, Numpy etc. Most of these mentioned libraries are third party libraries. How can a language enforce naming convention or documentation of a library?

- If you pick all softwares and libraries for all languages, you can't guess uses for most of them just by name. What are WireShark, TimeMachine, ReactJS, Boost, Armadillo etc?

No, but it shows that you only care to share in the bad, not the good. There is a tint to your worldview and it'd be useful for others to see that when weighing what you have to say.

For the record, I rarely leave reviews. When I do, though, it's only for the exceptionally bad or the exceptionally good.
Big ideas about information
I agree with this as I have seen frameworks come and go, but knowing something like a programming language and the frameworks that comes with it in depth really helps in order to write really fast, efficient, debuggable and maintainable code.
That is not an option anymore as all major services use captcha. Previously, I’d just delete my account/cancel subscription & reported my irritation with recaptcha, but now all major services I need to use are doing it, so no choice. Only Amazon/MS/Apple using old wiggly captcha, everyone else is on recaptcha :(
Japan throughout the '80s (and still today, though maybe a little less so) has been practicing something fairly close to what I am suggesting, by having a non-job role for the "madogiwa zoku", the window seat tribe.

They may not be paid to stay home, but they are paid to stay the hell out of the way of anything that could affect the smooth running of the business.
Thanks! I tend to agree with this reasoning and it's why I chose BSD (which is basically the same thing except it has a bulleted list of its requirements, which I liked). Is there a version of MIT+Patents or ISC+Patents or similar I wonder?
A human really wouldn't. It's the same thing as telling the difference between black bird and blackbird in running speech; peanut butter may be spelled as two words, but it's spoken as a single thing. If the concept was new enough that you were consciously talking about a type of butter made from (of all things) peanuts, it would be a black bird vocal entity rather than a blackbird one.
I don't believe that learning is the same as “I am reading a book about building modern Java apps with GWT." or "It’s a 500-page-long Apache Tapestry book. Tapestry was a thing."

I agree that the "fundamentals" are important, but if you don't apply knowledge to something practical it's really worth?

This doesn't preclude optimising vowels for example though, just them looking similar.

I'm not convinced I could differentiate M N and O without context, having a known vowel to differentiate the heights you're looking at would help?

The problem is that by using this you probably are putting restrictions on people. Lots of places don't have a concept of public domain, so this license is unenforceable in many jurisdictions and your software defaults to being copyrighted with no license.

Mostly agreed. I'm following a lot of them, and I have seen common themes, other than the ones you mention.

They all seem to share an interest in science and truth.

They also seem to share a willingness to enter debate, and an aversion to smearing.
> start learning to embrace concepts and different paradigms.

Frameworks can do help you achieve this, especially if you learn more than one.
Is it nicer than the alternative? Many people are perfectly ok with death being the end. Many people don't need some affirmation of themselves or others to believe in.

Also, wishing for the unending torture for someone who's slighted you is a very non-christian, non-most-religeons way of thinking.
I'm confused by this comment. Can you clarify?
I think that advise is a bit misplaced. You should really not learn, or at least learn extensively, frameworks which you aren't using.

You should definitely learn frameworks that you ARE using. Or know that you will use very soon.
Were there any real consequences? Did someone go to jail or lose their government pension? People frowning at the police and police inaction means nothing, they just get fewer calls and less reports of crime, that improves the statistics.
for a normal social media site that's an issue, for something like this where you only join the site to mainly support people you already know about it doesn't really matter.

Although I'd rather see some sort of open source project or crypto based platform instead of another centralized service that can be taken down by their payment processor. Brave browser and BAT could be the answer

>normal customers
also like the add that "normal" can change pretty quickly, ask women in post-revolution Iran. Within living memory alt-right would be considered normal by a large chunk of the population and people would be chasing people of color and LGBT off these platforms. The tools used to censor opponents today could be used against you tomorrow

Undefined behaviour, i.e. the JIT generates code to 3D print a clay golem on your desktop that sets your village ablaze.

> Static method? @staticmethod

> Static variable? declare it outside of your methods but inside your class

Sounds like you're still thinking in Java :). A static method is rarely what you want (and if you do you can put it on the class like for variables); functions are first-class so you can just put them in your module.
It would be easier in languages that make use of a high degree of inflection, especially in Slavic languages, where - that's unusual in other language families - declension also depends on whether the word is a noun or an adjective.

My team gave up on hip frameworks when angularJS became angular 2.0, and went back to jinja and a little JavaScript here and there.

It increased our productivity by quite a bit, and everyone got less stressed from not having to constantly stay up to date on X.

I think most of us has done a lot of X’es for fun. I did some graphql personally, but nothing that ever ended up in production.

The funny thing is, we seem to have not really missed out on anything. The article is completely on point, frameworks come and go (rapidly these days), and when we needed to build a few VUE.JS widgets, we frankly could. It took a little time to learn VUE and especially the Axios package which was also needed. Probably more time than it would have if we had kept up-to-date on JS frameworks, but we had a lot of time to spare from not having kept up-to-date on popular JS frameworks since AngularJS.
Silver has said before, at least in the podcast, that everyone at FiveThirtyEight hates the nowcast and its various incarnations but I think there's some pressure from the business side of things (for views, likes, shares, etc) to have something volatile for people to eat see day in and out.
Peterson is #20 and Harris is #15 — how is that not the top?
I really enjoyed the this. The insane over-engineering, the well thought out details (like the 30sec fart-spray to get them to ditch the package, maximising chances of recovery), the harmless-ness of it. Loved it! :D
He became a project manager when he found he wasn't good at writing code after becoming a coder when he found he wasn't a good physics researcher.
They ship you one?

My dongle failed within a month. None of my local stores sell the adapters that include a DAC which the Pixel requires, so I've now been stuck with getting it replaced through Google Support on three different occasions. You can imagine how that went?

I've given up on it now. They just do not last. Forked out $60 AUD for a Bluetooth dongle for my Shure SE215s which has served me well. Unfortunately the battery life leaves alot to be desired.
The name is just part of the conspiracy-laced aesthetic of the alt-right in the spirit of QAnon and InfoWars.

As for where Peterson fits: he's the father figure of the alt-right. His rhetoric is slightly more palatable to the main stream, so he can be the face of alt-right media while also providing shelter to his rowdier alt-right children (in this case, Milo Y). This arrangement provides the necessary veneer of legitimacy to the platform while ensuring the protection of hate speech.
Nothing you can do about "would prefer to pay some offshore developers $30/hr and hope for the best" and you don't want that client anyway. I only do hourly work and have never had any issues - mostly because projects are never really well defined and clients know that (good ones at least). Maybe try a weekly rate? Seems to work for some people.
We have driving licences and passports which are used as such. Not compulsory but pretty much essential unless you want to live off the grid for all your life.
>In a lot of ways, it would be a turn back to the early days of the web that some of us remember, except with much more democratic participation this time. And it’s a much more appealing vision for the internet than billions of people scrolling through their Facebook feeds.

Very much a dreamer I see. This basically can’t happen and he nailed why at the beginning. It WAS a thing for the small minority, outsiders, geeks. It will never go back to that.

Does make an interesting point though. That most of us here remember life before the internet (assuming demographic here is older than Reddit), but for 20-somethings that do not... fundamentally they MUST see it as something totally different than I do.

More like how people my age see electricity, of course it’s always existed and always will, it just makes sense it’s always been there. We don’t appreciate the work it must have taken or that anyone made decisions to shape it what it is today, nor that it could be “done wrong” or used to be better, because if mistakes were made surely someone would have fixed them by now!

Booby-trap is usually defined as "to cause bodily injury when triggered". Spreading glitter in someone's car isn't causing bodily injury. However, if the glitter caused someone to choke and die, or blinded an eye, then a crime would be committed.
Kewl comment bro
HN differentiates new users from the rest by giving them a green username.
As I understand it, software playing a ripped DVD doesn't "know" when a data source is a ripped DVD and does not expect any corruption -- it will not seek over or ignore issues like a DVD player connected to a TV will. I've run into this issue a lot, but fortunately MakeMKV, my software of choice, will fail to rip DVDs when it is unable to make a perfect rip. Then, I know there is a problem before I begin ffmpeg compression.

The solution: a wet polisher for DVDs. Luckily, my local used-game shop polishes disks for $3 each. They use an [Elm Eco AutoSmart][1] and it makes the discs like-new. I have never seen a disc it could not fix. You'd have to ask/search around locally to find one near you... I think some libraries have these machines, too, to maintain their DVD collections.

Not sure if it’s available as audio book, but I strongly recommend My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk if you’re looking for fiction.
Finally, a reason to build something on a block chain.
I mean, Free Software is basically communism (think of software as "the means of production" and the ideological similarities become obvious).

But the reason most startups are not worker-owned is simple: most founders are capitalists and VCs prefer investing in profit-driven or growth-driven companies, not socialist cooperatives.

EDIT: In other words, companies compete in the arena of the "free" market and "success" is defined by size, growth and profit, neither of which cooperatives have any reason to focus on. Cooperatives are generally interested in reliably providing an income to their employees and solving a community need. Two things that become more difficult at scale and two things that present an economical disadvantage compared to a VC-funded startup looking to be acquired that's fine with laying off every single employee at a whim.

Also of course techies have it relatively easy: it's easy to find a well-paid job so there's no need for collectivist thinking.
Dragonfly is the only project that carries empirical study of exactly which keyword triggers the GFW, at a large scale.

Traveling into darkness can be used to fight against darkness. I feel sorry for the engineers.
I'm quite surprised by some of these reasons:

- 1 & 2: just use virtualenv, js has its own version manager too (nvm) which is very useful. This is one of the reason why only python2.7 is included in OSX, since most of seasoned python devs not use it. usr/include vs usr/local/include in cpp are not easier to use / understand.

- 3: my opinion is this forces you to write readable code, in which you don't have to ask yourself where the scope starts / ends

- 4: since import use dot notation you just need to follow the path until you find a file and in this file the corresponding function. Or read the doc. Or use an IDE with autocompletion. Looking a .h files in c sometimes lead to using a wrong function judging only by its name.

- 5: They are called "list" because they are lists, not arrays in a C sense (size not fixed)

- 6: multiline strings are a mess indeed, but python3 handles them all in utf-8 (one of the reasons why it broke backward compatibility)

- 7: just like js, making them 2 of the 3 most used languages. Understand the difference between pointers and references is harder to grasp for a beginner to just remind modifying the arguments of one method is dangerous unless you know what you're doing

- 8: there is the from ... import ... which allows you to avoid this while being explicit
I don't consider a 2x speedup "irrelevant". It's also not the case that large integer arrays are where I would expect the greatest speedup. The greatest speedup would be on arrays that fit in L1 cache where function call overhead is going to be the most significant factor rather than cache misses.

Compile times and code bloat with templates are genuine issues but they are being improved both with improved compilers and linkers and with C++ standard changes (modules should be a big help for compile times).

Type safety is in my opinion a good example of elegance and efficiency being generally aligned. Typically improving type safety makes code more elegant, catches bugs and give opportunities for better efficiency in my experience.
An aside: Some sites have recaptcha that solves in one try everytime while most will present 5-7 images. I’d assume that there is some sort of aggressiveness setting for it, which may be set to very high by default(benefits google I suppose?) when not configured properly ...
I should rephrase: if I could buy SpaceX with the company valued at only $30B, I would buy stock in it. That seems undervalued to me, given the above. I believe the company will be worth more than that in both the short and long term and therefore it's a solid investment.
Peterson is a vocal proponent of race "science" and regressive anti-feminist social structures. He's as right as they come, and he's "alt-right" because he's devoted his career to re-framing these ideals in ways that shake off the stigma they now carry.

Thank you for going point by point. I was blown away by how little experience the author had with Python, compared to how strong his opinion is about it.
