Something seemingly glossed over in these discussions is whether calling it "iota()" is even that helpful.

The fact that a lot of software engineers -- engineers, not mathematicians! -- are unfamiliar with it at least points to an impedance mismatch between the standard and its intended users.

Calling this function "iota()" asks the reader/user to carry around with them a considerable history of CS/maths. If you're a physicist writing code for the LHC, sure. A game dev working on a AAA game? Possibly not. It's not a helpful term if you don't already know it.

On the other hand, something like "std::sequence()" or "std::fill_range()" would be obvious to anyone, math degree or no.
Ok, so what's the disincentive for government attorneys to do this in the future???
None of these ideas are new if you've studied evolution, ecology, economics, complexity, game theory, etc. All those fields are inter-related and study emergent behaviors like these.

Unfortunately few CS people or other engineers have touched these areas.

Certain types. It talks about this is in the article about your medical board not being your friend. Medical doctors, lawyer, police officers, military have strict requirements about even antidepressants and you can be disqualified from having just taken them.
Worth reading simply for the term "oligarchia."

What we may very ironically be witnessing with the recent international populist uprising that seems in part aligned with certain trans-national oligarchical interests is the emergence of the beginnings of an actual global government. Unfortunately it seems to be a global government run by gangsters.

The fact that US Democrats (and a few Republicans) are hung up on "Russia" shows that they don't get it. Russia is as irrelevant as the USA or China to these people. I mean sure some of them are Russian and may have ties to the Russian government, but Russia and Putin are just tools to them as are all other national and governmental powers. They're trans-national and represent an emerging power that has no national loyalty.

We're heading for a world run by gangsters and corporations. William Gibson remains the most prophetic of all sci-fi writers.

For websites, just Ruby on Rails hosted on Heroku with Postgres.

For web applications

Ruby on Rails in API mode, with Postgres running on Heroku if the API is non real-time or high traffic / spiky. Go with DynamoDB if it is.

> Google doesnt care about it, they are totally OK with it

Google hasn't said they don't care about it, where did you see any of that ?

They merely allowed the code to be released despite it still working against the current. Previous experience (namely the original uncaptcha) prove that they intend to find a way to fix it.

> You can see here that captcha doesn't block robots, but blocks people and makes browsing inconvenient.

Total BS, remember it's not Google that uses it, it's website owners (us), if what you claim was indeed true we wouldn't be using it, we would use something else that did what we wanted.

> reCaptcha is a way google mines data from us for free.

Of course, through the visual selection it displays when "unsure", although I do not know the detail it seems pretty obvious that once it's sure you're human it sometimes ask you to detect things in picture anyway so as to provide training data (for maps, waymo, image search, whatever ...)

ActiveStorage is relatively new feature which also isn’t really big of a deal. Most issues mentioned in above links can indeed be solved by using the direct methods without given abstraction.

Using both Rails and Django I much prefer Rails, but I don’t see a point in bashing the other using single picked issues as a general argument for how crappy the framework/community is.
I would personally never use MongoDB again. Broke one too many times. Postgres on the other hand has never failed me.
It's not only that. (A lot of) animals process/digest cellulose, humans can't. So that's one of the reasons cows can weigh 600-700 kg by just eating gras, which is insane. And which makes me question the vegan diet despite having watched a lot of the youtuber's Vegan Gains videos. I mean I am mostly vegan but that's due to shortage of cash.

Not all submissions to HN are made by the people who made or host the referenced website- it's quite common to see a reply along the lines of "Hi I'm the author of X, really pleased to see it on HN".

Crazy question: if you are just looking for some “quick cash”, could you just get a better paying job?

My first context for iota was biblical, and I’ve used it as an expression my whole life (e.g., “Not one iota”). I was surprised to see it in STL, but after learning its history, I’ve been happy to use it in my code without mocking it.
Stimulants all downregulate. They will end up having to use more unless they take breaks to resensitize ( couple weeks off take a tiny dose then another week off).

The antidepressants are worse. In people with violent thoughts (are there people without?) they can make people more likely to act out those thoughts. In everyone else it destroys libido and has has physical withdrawal. Anecdotally I have also noticed people on them don't draw boundaries where they should. They are OK with treatment from employers and friends that they shouldn't be.
More than that when you consider the To Dos and followups. That’s why it’s hard to stay active as an individual contributor when you have a large team.

If you don’t invest the time in advance, you pay it more with fighting fires later.

They mostly don't get to take their equipment back to update it. So they better know very well what they need. (Yes, there's some amount of remote update, they still can't move fast and break things.)

As usual, in engineering, needs create capabilities. It is very expensive and risky to go fully determining your needs before execution, but they pay for it.

Even when destructors are deterministic, they still may run later than you realise or not at all.

For example, the Rust docs list some platform specific examples of when the 'drop trait' (aka destructor) may not run for thread local values[0]. There are also circular references or simply another object holding a reference (directly or indirectly) that isn't clear from the context.

The `with` statement at least seems to clear up a lot of potential ambiguity if nothing else.

Well, Americans weren't complaining when American enterprises were driving down costs to subsistence levels in other markets. In fact, they did quite the opposite: taking moral high ground of free market and what not. Of course I am generalizing here with 'Americans'.
ADA has limits. You can't be in the military if you are missing a limb. Can't be a police officer if you have mental issues. There are common sense limits to ADA.
Med school -> Memorization school. The medical profession needs to figure out how to use technology more effectively in its processes. I'm convinced that having doctors spend years doing route memorization hinders their critical thinking. It also puts a ton of stress on medical students who have to spend an exorbitant amount of time drilling. Of course, that would harm the medical industrial complex, so we must make being a doctor as difficult as possible.
Mythbusting: 6 Misconceptions About Learning English
Neat, this is much nicer than the stock sqlite3 CLI client!

Is it possible to turn this behavior off?

Most US government agencies audit software installed to verify that they have the appropriate licenses. I don’t know about intel agencies but I have to assume it’s the same. Also installing software illegally or that hasn’t been approved is a pretty serious security violation in government and in any enterprise that takes security seriously.
I think the problem doesn't lie as much in the use of the drug, but in the environment that leads to consumption. If we assume strong social stigma against it, and yet a majority of students end up doing it, it means there is a very strong pressure to increase performance by whatever means necessary - that is to say, that students are not in a state where they consider their workload bearable. That's in a pool of people that have been somewhat preselected for being high achievers and willing to work a lot.

While medicine is a field where there should be high expectations for students (given what's at stake), I don't think keeping students and workers around the very edge of what they can mentally handle is at all healthy or worth it in the long term. We don't want burnout, we don't want to have them suffer from stress-related issues, we don't want to increase their chances of making mistakes at work, and from an ethical viewpoint we don't want them going through a miserable life even if it's a net win for society (at least I don't).
Could we at least use them for bulk transport of non-perishable goods? Container ships are slow too, and we're fine with that.

Dr. Ibrahim is still barred from entry to the U.S. "for reasons that remain secret, as noted in the latest 9th Circuit opinion". These "secret" reasons might answer your question and be the real reason Holder signed off on that affidavit (i.e., it was _not_ perjury).

U.S. officials abuse their country's lack of transparency to evade scrutiny, and innocent people suffer because of it.
Five Weeks After the Guardian’s Viral Blockbuster Assange-Manafort Scoop
The problem with an ioctl is that ioctls are not namespaced and so a buggy userspace program might end up being tricked into killing a process (if the ioctl overlaps).

ioctl also doesn't have exceptionally sane error reporting, especially when we're comparing it to syscalls.

In addition, this is the first step toward more generic procfds and for some other use cases ioctls are simply insufficient and it would be strange to have a mismash of both APIs.

> I am literally two characters away from invoking all sorts of dangerous commands like "kill all processes", "shutdown machine" and so on.

Can you explain what you mean? Syscalls are the least bad solution because we are guaranteed no reasonably buggy program will have used the syscall already.

Writing to a procfile would be significantly worse than either, but ioctls still have problems.
Probably because the year is 2019, not 2004.

> There's absolutely no reason for anyone to want an iPad that does all that -- except to get a laptop with touchscreen hybrid. But those are not exactly some wide success in the PC world either.

I solely blame this on the software.

Wanna mimic pen-and-paper? There's a few apps for that.

Wanna use something that's actually better than pen-and-paper? There's OneNote, which gives you a finite but big enough canvas. You can fit everything on one "page", zoom in and out to a certain level, use different pens, and draw some basic shapes like straight lines, ellipses, and rectangles which are more than useful (think: diagrams or sketching out layouts).

That's it. There's absolutely no alternative to it. Not on Windows and certainly not on Ubuntu. I've tried dozens of them, and OneNote is the only one that offers even remotely more functionality than pen-and-paper does. The rest just try to mimic the pen-and-paper feeling on a screen. Microsoft Whiteboard got 90% there, but it doesn't offer a way of easily drawing basic shapes.

If I knew that the software side would be this bad a year after I bought the device, I would think twice before getting a pen-supported two-in-one and got myself an iPad. Touchscreen itself is insanely useful for recreation, but the pen is next-to-useless with just one app even worth mentioning.

Not saying this is the case here, but cargo culting does exist in tech, so this is quite a weak argument in my opinion.

Yeah, Pyramid poweres PyPI itself - it is one of best thought out frameworks in Python land.

It builds on years of prior experiences and it shows in how mature and pleasant it is, they didn't have great marketing but the project deserves more recognition from community.

I've played around with some of the open source stuff (tpot, autosklearn, h20's automl).

The commercial products seem to do more automated feature engineering.

H2o's automl is pretty easy to use with their graphical "flow" notebook interface. Was able to build a reasonable model with no coding aside from prepping the data going in.
While I don't really care what the history is, the name seems odd to me since I thought it was itoa() at first. It seems too similar to a common function (that nobody should use anymore).

I am not running a custom ROM in my smartphone, it is a fairly popular device (Xiaomi Mi A2) and I still can't get high quality streams on Netflix because my device only has Widevine L3.

Meanwhile I can get high quality streams in an anime streaming service called Crunchyroll in all my devices (including every browser in any OS I want), most because they don't care about DRM.

: It is interesting that for default they still require Flash for viewing video browsers (they have a HTML5 video player in beta, though). To think that HTML5 reduced our freedom compared to Flash is ironic, to say at least.

It's not easy for quick cash. You need a reputation to get jobs easily and be paid enough. You need to do some terribly paid jobs, possibly at a loss, to get a reputation. The lower the entry barrier (i.e. oDesk/Craigslist), the worse the rates are, to the point it costs you to start.

I'd say that ironically something like Fiverr might be ideal for quick cash. Try to specialize in a niche.

I have found that people who are able to defy conventional wisdom are, paradoxically, usually those who put even greater than normal focus on the core truth that the conventional wisdom is based upon. For example, someone on a team who is a "lovable jerk" is usually the person who, although rough in their presentation, is always willing to help others and put the team first. On the other hand, people who claim they are the exception to the rule usually do it as an excuse for not focusing on the core truth behind the rule.

In the same way, I think the problem with "prefer code to comments" is that people often miss that it actually requires even greater focus on communicating your intention to others (e.g. via methods like declarative programming and meaningful names).
I have literally never been asked to solve one of those image recognition recaptchas in my main browser profile. (While it happens once a month in incognito windows.)

So it's not at all obvious that known humans are being asked to solve captchas just for the purposes of training.

Doesn't 'everyone' do drugs?

I was introduced to daily caffeine usage by the most religious christian engineer I worked with at the time. We would drink 2 cups at once to get a jolt.

I don't think I need to ask about engineering, as many of my coworkers have 4+ cups of coffee a day. I can't imagine how many of them take other stimulants/anti-depressants, etc...

From professionals to laborers, why would we assume drug usage is any different?
That isn't all you said. The last line was unnecessary in making your point, and wasn't polite. That's why people are downvoting you.
You fail to appreciate that there is quite a bit of skills development and problem solving training. The first two years are more memorization heavy, as you have to learn the language and basics. Years 3 and 4 are more focused on navigating the health care system, interacting with patients, performing technical skills, physical examination, use of imaging, diagnosis, etc. Memorization is only a fraction of what you do to become a competent physician.

Eventually this data will get into the hands of governments and others. Who is to say that in the future you are not permitted to own a firearm (just an example ) because you have some gene that may increase your tendancy for violence (some future research show)? What about an insurance denying you becuase of a gene? That may be illegal but it's you against Goliath. How many laws are broken by banks etc. without recourse because the ones affected don't have the resources to fight it?

Sure these are extremes but if this information is available, eventually it will be used and most likely first for for profit.
