> The problem is controlling yourself and constant cravings you have to fight. It's just way more difficult for some people than others

And that is the problem people should be focusing on. It's easier to take a pill from the doctor, but that's a last resort when your health dictates that you must lose weight right now. You will have to somehow control your eating one way or another at some point if you want to control your weight.

There is no easy solution.
Agreeing with the rest here; many like me (a lot of good friends of mine included) do not want to work for those types of companies. Remote or including relocation I cannot see a lack of senior devs like that. Maybe just in your vicinity?

Motivation other than money can be many things; for most I know is enabling remote work with some travelling regularly for meetings. Most of my friends inc me find shares nice to show appreciation as long as the contruct is not absurd. I would say I respond better to ‘how much do you need to live?’ than I did as a younger dev.

One of my favorite talks is from Ken Robinson on how education kills creativity [0]. It gets relevant for this discussion from 7m30s on divergent thinking.

I think your assumption just isn’t true. About 20% of filers use the mortgage interest deduction, which the IRS has no idea about. Then there is a ton of other stuff. For example, the IRS doesn’t even automatically know how many dependents you have. If you get divorced and one parent gets custody, the IRS has no idea. There is no federal tracking of who lives with who. The IRS also has no idea whether it should apply married rates or single rates. Again, there is no tracking of marriages at the federal level.

If you only have W-2 income, are single, have no children, and aren’t eligible for any education credits, then the IRS can probably do a good job estimating your taxes. But that probably describes 20% of folks. If the IRS sent a bill to the other 80% without those deductions, it would be an overestimate. And sure, those folks could file their own returns, but many would not. That would result in a de facto tax increase, which is exactly what Norquist doesn’t want.

The Central bank in your link is the Federal Bank.

Basically when retail banks need money they get it from the Central Bank through the Open Market Operation.

What happens is the retail banks offering up theirs bonds (which are assets), and the Central bank effectively buys (or sell) these bonds using a swap or repurchase agreement.

The retail banks then use that money to offer up loans to the public.

So the Central bank has the ability to print money by being prepared to buy up these bonds (using money that is effectively printed), but retail banks don't have that ability.

Retail banks and companies can do something similar by offering up their own bonds and selling them to investors, however should that organisation go broke the bonds take on junk status which basically means any investor that paid good money for them has lost the money.

For these transaction the money being used is real money.

How to Detect If a Browser Plugin Is Spying on You – A Complete Guide
I have only briefly looked through their long paper, and it looks like what you suggest is pretty much exactly what they do.

Their main contribution seems to be that they have incrementally improved on a symbolic learner. They explicitly tell it to search a predefined set of programmes. They use pretrained MNIST CNN classifiers as inputs into it, which already know that e.g. MNIST has 10 classes.

What I was talking about is symbolic reasoning somehow 'emerging' from a connectionist approach, without being explicitly designed. The cool thing about deep nets is that they are both kind of biologically and evolutionary plausible (except back-propagation, I suppose), and are able to achieve great performance on a bunch of traditionally difficult perception tasks (vision, hearing - again, with some caveats).

But how such a system could develop symbolic reasoning is not at all clear. Are any other biological systems apart from humans capable of symbolic reasoning?

Of course, planes don't flap their wings and so a practical system will probably have a symbolic reasoning engine designed top-down rather than emerging from some neural net. But it is still an interesting question that would give us more insight into how our brains work.
>While the most prolific authors can not always be understood to have shaped the field in a deep fashion, they anchor the clusters in more recent debates, and give me an opportunity to mention more women in the graphic.

What a strange non-sequitur.

The clusters look strange to me as well - I don’t see any expected names aside from Plato and Aristotle for classics.

The choice of embedding a first-person narrative into the poster is also quite strange.
Interesting question.

You could write a executable that accepts piped input and throws it away.

When would it exit though? Would it exit successfully at the end of the input stream? That sounds sensible.

That would be behaving like an executable wouldn't it?

Dostoevsky is hardly difficult in the way that Joyce is. I mean, yes, there’s lots of layers to uncover, but he’s downright comedic when the situation calls of it (e.g. Mitya’s carousing and subsequent arrest in Karamazov is a fine piece of comedy writing and extremely accessible, regardless of the complexity of his motives).

Ouch. That does make it really hard, impossible even, to make sure you get a good fit.
Blockport Moves Out of Beta, Announces Promotion
I thought the same. Rearing a newborn recently, I find that much of the parental/pre-parental advice works well. However, I just now realized, they probably actually understood the problems. But since only the advised actions stuck in my mind, without the problem analysis, I came to think they would act on gut feelings. I think this is sort of a child/grandchild bias.

This leaves aside parental scorn/ignorance as you describe it. Sounds like stressed-out parents, if I may say so. However, I don't know how future generations will get better at it, only that you may get better at it.

Credit repair specialist
Hi everyone, I was in the depths of despair. I found the home I wanted to buy and I needed my credit fixed urgently since I found the new property, I applied for a mortgage loan through Navy Federal and was denied due to my low credit score. I had lots of charge offs, rope, and student loans. I needed the negatives all removed. I met a credit repair specialist online (DPROTOCOL7@GMAIL.COM, +1 320 245 4036) who helped me get my problems off my neck and putting smiles back on my face. I am so surprised to see the good changes on my credit report just within 7 business days of contacting him, DPROTOCOL indeed is the best.

> Are you including Bitcoin script when you say consensus?

Currently, no. Our model considers "consensus" to be agreement on the ordering of transactions. We don't yet interpret the transactions.

However, agreement on the state follows directly provided nodes have a function (in the "functional programming" sense), call it `Process`, that returns the current state given the ordered list of transactions. If all nodes have the same the function, they will have the same state.

The BIP-0050 issue (in my understanding) is that different Bitcoin versions had different consensus rules, i.e. their `Process` functions were different. As far as I know, Bitcoin script is deterministic, so it should be possible to define it functionally. We haven't begun looking at this, though, and I don't know of anyone that has -- some people are working on verified implementations of the EVM, however.

> It seems like a huge task to formally model the whole consensus system, including OP_CODESEPARATOR.

It is a huge task, yes, but it can be done modularly such that reasoning about script interpretation can be almost entirely separated from reasoning about Nakamoto consensus. (This is a bit subtle, since the fork choice rule needs to check if blocks are valid, which relies on script interpretation.)

I don't really understand OP_CODESEPARATOR. As long as it is deterministic, it shouldn't be an issue.
There is a tradition in C++ of overloading operator| for pipelining range operations. Your mileage may vary.

[Quote]

The Unix philosophy is documented by Doug McIlroy as:

Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new “features”.

Expect the output of every program to become the input to another, as yet unknown, program. Don’t clutter output with extraneous information. Avoid stringently columnar or binary input formats. Don’t insist on interactive input.

Design and build software, even operating systems, to be tried early, ideally within weeks. Don’t hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them.

Use tools in preference to unskilled help to lighten a programming task, even if you have to detour to build the tools and expect to throw some of them out after you’ve finished using them.

I really like the last two, if you can do them in development then you are then you have a great dev culture
I dislike the gmail trash waiting for 30 days to empty, so I have cron-job running a small Go script that cleans up the trash using the Gmail API. Right now I use Gmail's filters to send stuff I don't like to the trash, but I plan to do the filtering in the script too, when I find the time.

I'm still wondering why there isn't a "delete every email from this person automatically" built into either Gmail, or the underlying email spec, which I don't really know anything about.
Unfortunately it's unlikely to be a backup, since everything will only live on your local computer. You might get the content from some other user if, by chance, they generated the exact same bytes, but it's rather unlikely.

To back things up, you'll want to pin to an external server like Eternum.io.
That you took the time to edit your comment to say you don't care about downvotes is proof that you do care.

It is ok to care, btw. You don't need to dismiss other people who don't agree with you though.
Clojure has something that you could call a pipe almost. `->` passes the output from one form to the next one.

This example has a nested hash map where we try to get the "You got me!" string.

We can either use `:a` (keyword) as a function to get the value. Then we have to nest the function calls a bit unnaturally.

Or we can use the thread-first macro `->`, which is basically a unix pipe.

user=> (def res {:a {:b {:c "You got me!"}}})
#'user/res

user=> res
{:a {:b {:c "You got me!"}}}

user=> (:c (:b (:a res)))
"You got me!"

user=> (-> res :a :b :c)
"You got me!"

Thinking about it, Clojure advocates having small functions (similar to unix's "small programs / do one thing well") that you compose together to build bigger things.

I usually get it when things start to go out of hands (unexpected errors or input, distractions from many external factors etc).

Things that help in my case include: deep breath (mini-meditation), going out for a walk , playing an instrument (not actively practicing, but rather laying my hands on the piano keys and let the subconscious take the wheel).

Things that definitely do not help: eating (in these moments I have zero self control and would pick unhealthy food which would make things worse) and attention-seeking distractions (social network feeds, mindlessly scrolling infinite lists of questionable content).

Show HN: Metis – ECMAScript6 in-memory fulltext search engine
Hi,

I'm glad to share "Metis" which is a fulltext search engine written in ECMAScript 6 with facet capabilities. Results are not yet sorted using a TF/IDF algorithm, however sort callbacks can be provided.

This is still a WIP project and the engine API will change in the next weeks. The current revision includes a simple fulltext search with results count and facets.

It follows semantic versioning and the 1.0.0 should be released in two months.

If you want to use it, be sure to specify the current tag (0.3), as the overall project structure will changed as explained before. For example, by the revision 1.0.0, a "Query" object will probably be introduced and will be notified when the response is returned by a JS worker running on another thread.

A working example is accessible and generates 1000 documents before indexing them.

Any critics are welcomed.
Close, but the real problem is trying to compete with an established business method while claiming an innovative web presence and giving back mean anything. People order food from places they have seen under the idea that being local means they get their food sooner and its fresher and hotter and so on.

like the meal kit companies, anything you can do from a centralized site the local companies, home grown or franchise, can do as well. both restaurants and grocery chains co-opted the idea of meal kits and then had the built in neighborhood loyalty.

Hi,

I'm one of the developers of esy, would be happy to answer any questions about it.

I have background in JS ecosystem and always liked how npm/yarn allows you to have a set of dependencies installed per project which do not conflict with any other global installations. Then this goes even beyond runtime dependencies and you have tools like eslint/flow and others installed per project in node_modules.

Now enter native development and you won't find the same workflow there. This is what esy tries to solve. It focuses now on Reason programming language but conceptually it works with other platforms/tools too (for example some of our dependencies are C/C++ code and it works nicely with esy too).

Also I want to highlight the following points:

- All dependencies (and devDependencies) are local to a project (like with npm/yarn)

- The cache for built packages is shared between different projects - if you built OCaml 4.06.0 compiler once then the other project will just reuse it (this works similar to Nix package manager)

- To execute some tool within the isolated project environment you prefix it with esy command: "esy ocaml", "esy vim", "esy code"

- esy can install packages from npm, opam (package registry for OCaml ecosystem), github

- esy allows you to develop multiple packages at once (see linking workflow in docs).

- finally... we support Windows (besides Linux and macOS)!
It is a deal breaker to me because of "He does not fit in the company culture that we want to build".

The company culture is not something you artificially build for an abstract entity called "company". The culture of your company === the culture of the people that form your company.

There is no workaround if he joins your company. And as he is more senior, famous and all, the influence on the company will be maybe larger than yours. You will get job candidates that get to know the company because of this person.
Sorry, I meant "the first by CNIL" (or even more specifically, the first in the list of previous fines that was a couple of posts above)

It's sad that developers have had access to pipes for decades, yet the most similar feature they provide to end users is still copy/paste.
Sanjay Ghemawat (the other less visible half of Jeff Dean) wrote a pipe library in Go, learnt quite a bit from it.

I hated Milton before re-reading Paradise Lost while taking a Milton lecture alongside an Early American Lit course in undergrad. He had a huge influence on Phillis Wheatley writing style and her work and legacy was awe inspiring to me. His work only became important to me once I viewed it through that context. I think a lot of classic works can become important on a personal level when you can see the threads from the past woven into your contemporary interests.
It’s a temporary problem, not a permanent problem. People need training and practice. I’d expect most people were slower when first using unit tests or TDD than they are today. It takes time to build that experience into the industry but it’s hardly an impossible problem. Especially as the tooling (PlusCal, Alloy) for lighter weight formal methods gets better and more accessible.

The trouble with this is that you need to have enough of a black swan to trigger the options but not enough that it prevents them paying out, e.g. due to counterparty risk or some kind of systemic collapse.

And "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent" - by definition this produces few, rare payouts.

Far better to employ the LTCM strategy and write a lot of out of the money options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management

The trick is to do that with other people's money, on which you initially get huge returns. You can then collect large managment fees. The collapse takes out the fund, but it's an LLC so the staff get to keep their bonuses from previous years.
