Or why you should write a formal parser instead of writing a YOLO shotgun parser.
If science is more inefficient, what are some ideas to make it less so? I work at a top research university in the US, and have thought about this quite a bit (I don't really disagree). I'm curious to hear what you and Michael think are some good approaches. I genuinely care about this problem, and I am working on some things myself.
There's more details on Rob Walling's blog here:

I see it in my family and loved ones - while it's unfortunate that sometimes windows decides it really needs to restart RIGHT NOW, the fact that it's doing that is the only reason the PC is getting updated at all - they never turn them off and they never update on their own. There should absolutely be options for those of us who know enough to make the choice, but sometimes taking choice away seems like the better option.
It could be material while not being expressible by a Turing machine. If by "algorithm" you mean something that runs on a Turing machine, then human intelligence doesn't have to follow any algorithm. If you mean that human intelligence is governed by equations, then that must be true if materialism is true, because the laws of physics (or "material reality") are governed by equations.
Second one seems to come closest for me. I prefer something clear like "see that notification at the bottom left corner of the page? We do that". But I get it; you're selling why someone should use the product (a bit abstractly, perhaps). As a tech product though, don't forget to highlight the actual product(s) and to be specific.

The "Install Fomo in 29 Seconds" section from the first iteration makes me feel confident, as a developer, that there's a clear path to get your product working for me and it won't be a pita. A documentation link at the top, rather than hidden at the bottom, would be nice - see how Facebook presents their tech offerings (granted, open source) at https://reactjs.org/ etc.

I'm just one guy who makes decisions about what techs to use for myself and others though, so yada yada grain of salt. Maybe I'm not who you're targeting as much as salespeople themselves.
I've used HelloSign as well, but every other app that I used that Dropbox bought has been discontinued so while I'm happy for the team, I don't have high long term hopes for the project.

Topological requirements for robust perfect adaptation in networks of any size
I had exactly the same thoughts when I stumbled upon it wandering around the downtown late at night. It was dark, I was alone in the patio and the building front looked amazingly scary.
Are you starting a (venture-scale) company? Learning this language is critical.

Are you working for a startup? Becoming more familiar with this language is helpful - you can figure out whether the founders/executives know what they're doing or not.

Are you working for a large company? Learning this language will not provide much benefit for you IMO.
Tell that to the person who got his personal files flushed automagically by a Windows update.
I don't see how ZoL being the canonical ZFS repository means ZFS is now "just a linux submodule". No, it's a Git repository that easily could (and will, no doubt) support building for multiple target systems.

AP has had a lot of "opinion..." in it's feeds over the last couple years. I used to be a big fan of their uncurated "Raw Feed" but they decided that was not something they wanted to expose any longer.

The others are ok sources but still too much opinion mixed in for my money. Can't somebody just give us the facts?
Something that bugs me a slight bit in the TV app diaspora was that one of the original Hulu mandates back when it was a GE project was to be a strong software provider for TV frontends and backends; that as much as Hulu would be a thing itself there'd also be "Powered by Hulu" opportunities to avoid every TV app having an entirely different experience or missing some should-be standard backend/frontend features.

It shouldn't be a surprise that that original vision was somewhat lost when Comcast bought NBC/Universal and gained a huge stake in Hulu, but it's still a shame that we don't have more "powered by Hulu" apps per that original vision. I still don't understand why NBC/Universal's Seeso attempt wasn't "powered by Hulu" given how central NBC/Universal was as a Hulu content partner (nor why Hulu didn't just inherit the majority of Seeso content when they got bored with the experiment), and that's a large part of why I didn't bother with Seeso. I guess I'm still often angry at the CW for dropping Hulu support for their own app which is just full of technical papercuts that Hulu fixed a long time ago; I would mind the CW app less (even if it was still a separate app) if it was at least "powered by Hulu" and had some of the backend streaming tech improvements, UX improvements, and commercial volume smoothing tech that Hulu uses.

Disney+ supposedly is using backend tech/knowledge from ESPN+, so it won't be entirely from scratch, but with Disney now being majority owner of Hulu, again it seems a shame that it probably won't just be "powered by Hulu", and is likely yet another case where we'll see bugs and UX papercuts that the industry as a whole could have worked to fix together instead of each their own.

I can't answer this because the most likely location for the answer [1] is locked behind a beta program access or something, but where do they plan on taking the reserved storage from? I assume they're not going to try to repartition the drive? It sounds like they're just using filesystem features to carve it out of an existing partition, but I'd like to be sure. My laptop is currently dual-boot, but if Microsoft starts blindly mucking with partition tables it's gonna go single-boot Linux right quick. (I expect it's not that, but I'd like to be sure.)

As long as they're staying out of the partition table, this sounds like a good idea to me, honestly.

The reason why its not taken off is that its much younger than ZFS, and more crucially its got terrible admin tools and documentation.

It might be a brilliant file system, but I'm never going ot use it because its such an arse to learn how to use it properly.
I've used them more than once and am very happy with their service.

Squatters do this kind of thing already, but they demand an exorbitant price or have some kind of opaque bidding process. Park.io at least introduces some consistency and trust in this process.

I'd much rather pay a small premium ($99 for the domain vs however much a particular registrar charges) to avoid that hassle and still get a great name I would never have gotten otherwise by scanning for pendingDelete domains.
Interesting... Microsoft is forcing everyone to update their machines for quite some time... I've noticed that MS is forcing updates on my machine about a year ago and out of frustration I asked about it on this forum four months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18029216)
Please try it. Go to Computer Management/Services and Applications/Services and then stop and disable Windows Updates. It's a matter of days before it will be back and running again.

> All employees got 2.5 months of salary.

Bob gets 2.5 months of salary. Alice also gets 2.5 months of salary. But Alice hasn't taken any time off for the past year, while Bob went on vacation and depleted his PTO budget. Alice is a sucker, Bob is a hustler. Fuck Alice, right?

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. MTA-STS is about sites that are having trouble deploying DNSSEC. DNSSEC != DANE. DANE depends on DNSSEC.
I don’t believe any Apple devices are affected — they tend to use Broadcom and Atheros chipsets in their products.

Then you might be interested in Brave (brave.com). Their cut is 5%.

I really like the concept but I don't use it because it doesn't support the mac KeyChain.
it's a nice quality of life improvement unless you're running low on space. 7+ gb is a lot, especially on embedded devices with low soldered storage - like microsoft's own products!
coincidentally instead of offering upgradeable internal storage they upsell really hard on the models with more storage in their surface lineup

if anything, this should be a toggle- if only an opt-out toggle.

fwiw, you can install a linux system including an entire graphical stack with web browser and mail client in that space, twice.
users demand it. If the kernel devs pushed too hard legally a lot of users would switch to BSD (probably freebsd, but there are other good candidates). Linux is slightly better for desktop users, but if you cannot use your graphics hardware for legal reasons BSD will still work and is the lesser evil.

I like the philosophy of brutalism, but the decay of concrete is so gross aesthetically. I've seen some non-decaying brutalism though, but still doesnt make the cut.
I love the concept of hypothesis, but I struggle with finding a real life use case. I just can't formulate my assertions, I don't know what to put in them.

unit tests are easy since I know what the code does, and I can just tell it what to do and what I expect.

But with hypothesis, I have to find some kind of general property, which I have a hard time to do.

Any tips, or materials I can use ?

P.S: I read your test.py, and see you use a rule base state machine. I've never seen that in any tutorial on hypothesis I read. What does it do ? How do you use it ?
And in the U.S.

> A few months earlier in the same airport, a tech engineer returning from a business trip to London objected when a federal agent asked him to type his password into his laptop computer. "This laptop doesn't belong to me," he remembers protesting. "It belongs to my company." Eventually, he agreed to log on and stood by as the officer copied the Web sites he had visited, said the engineer, a U.S. citizen who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of calling attention to himself.

Except in Israel the threat is real, and the security guards are actually competent
I didn't go into it in my original comment because I'm not an expert on the economics of on-site generation either. However, fuel availability — and materials availability in general — is definitely difficult because of India's other major problem: a lock of good ground transportation and infrastructure.

The roads are narrow and dangerous, which also means that they are unreliable and slow. For example, it can routinely take 3-4 hours to travel just 60 miles, in a passenger vehicle. The issues only get worse if you need to move a large amount of materials or goods.

Many commercial and residential complexes in India do have a backup power source, but I don't think it would be feasible to run a factory off that.
Interesting - is the model that learns from (semantically indexed) code bound by its license? One could argue it is derivative work.
At one point in 2011, I quipped: "There is no dearth of new languages. Everyone who knows how to lex/parse can build one. And they will build one."

It's the same thing with any other piece of technology for me. It's easy to build tech. But In my opinion, when I look at new tech, here is when it is genuinely better tech for me:

- Cross platform, solves toolchain issues
- Provides a great debugger/observability interface
- Integrate well with native/os/hardware. Open interface
- Has decent basic primitives and not the kitchen sink
- Well designed that the core is stable and is compatible for 5 years. "It's the design, stupid."

That's it for me.
Funky mirror turns electric field into a magnetic field with missing pole
I'm very sorry that happened to you. 90 day exercise windows remain a huge issue in the industry, and one we've been fighting to fix for years now.

Fortunately, the fix is very simple: companies should just offer 10 year exercise windows. That prevents this scenario from happening to employees. We've written about this a bunch of times: https://dangelo.quora.com/10-Year-Exercise-Periods-Make-Sens... https://blog.samaltman.com/employee-equity https://triplebyte.com/blog/fixing-the-inequity-of-startup-e...

We hope that 10 year exercise windows will become the industry standard so that no one needs to worry about this anymore. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened yet. In the meantime, you can see a list of companies that have committed to them here: https://github.com/holman/extended-exercise-windows.
I had a .io for a project. Ended up getting internet from some corporate/government entities. Went in to demo, and *.io was blocked on their enterprise network! Will still with .com or .net as well.
I've never seen a formal definition for "Architect" that applies to more than one usage of that term across companies.

Standardization would be the key to it for it to ever be a meaningful distinction.

Similarly, some companies use "Programmer" versus "Engineer", but also there aren't good standards there, and worse that bumps into the expectations in the rest of the business world for what "Engineer" is supposed to mean. (Professional Engineering accreditations and licensures.)
Sure, it doesn't bother me a whole bunch, I just thought I'd point out that, at least with Fedora, ZoL is occasionally behind tracking the most recent kernel release.
Were they initially pushing that October update, or were those manual requests for update?
That's great. This probably wasn't the first dumb thing the execs asked them to do.
In short - this is real Karma.
This is pretty cool. The one factoid that stood out to me was everyone flocking to listen to SAD! by XXXTENTACION the day after he was assassinated.

I'm surprised this wasn't the case with Mac Miller's death, although maybe it did it just didn't top the charts.
Comments like this are why I spend my lunch on HN. Thanks!
It's not a general solution- you often need to access the page tables of other address spaces, and those aren't picked up by a recursive mapping.

And while a single recursive mapping is a relatively small fraction of the address space, you probably don't want to do it for all address spaces simultaneously.

So you need something more general anyway, and you may as well just use it all the time.
If it were a tiny and thin iDevice or a razor thin laptop, I'd understand, but there is nowhere in that machine that a special screw would be needed. The space constraints simply aren't there.
I see it too. OSX 10.13.3, Chrome 71.0, 2880 x 1800px.
No, but they need to explain what went wrong to cause them to think what they did was okay, and why we should believe it won't happen again, at a minimum. If they have no integrity, and hijacking an open source project certainly is sending that message, then I can't imagine what other incentives would stop them from abusing my trust in them for their gain.

I would like something like this, but they need to address this more thoroughly. It's not just a footnote.

>Trust but verify.

What does that actually mean? If I verify, then did I trust?

I don't want to verify, but if they expect us to be doing that work for them they sure as hell need to open source it.
That's worse than what I receive as an American. Sorry to shatter your world view!
One of the things that has happened to our society recently, is that we isolate ourselves from the messy details of our actions. In the past, if our society had capital punishment - it was done in public and society was exposed to it. Now, it is done in a private, almost clinical environment. Dissections now days are only ever really carried out in sterile anatomy labs. In the past, everyone who ate meat, probably was familiar with butchering an animal. Now, we eat meat that is nicely pre-packaged and are blissfully unaware of the details. This is the case even with war. In the distant past, if you went to war, it was a bunch or regular people who stabbed or slashed their opponents. Over time this became longer ranged with fire arms, bombs, artillery etc. Now, with no draft, we basically have a warrior class, and with the advent of combat drones, the operator can control a missile drone in a foreign country from their desk in the US.
I agree with this. The only souvenirs I typically buy are things that I really like and know will get used back home, keeping them few in number, and rather than planning my vacation down to the second I prefer to wing it and plan on a day to day basis, going wherever things take me. It’s very relaxing that way.
So Starbucks.

10 weeks is not a lot of time to find a new professional job. I'm guessing it's not incredibly difficult to find a low-paying contract job going writing of some sort. But editor-level jobs in the writing field? Probably a lot harder--journalism or otherwise.
This is also going to be a major pain on my Windows VM's. I often only give those ~32 GB of storage to begin with, since they're only for a tiny handful of programs.

I'm assuming there will be a group policy setting I can change, though, since I'm lucky enough to have Windows 10 Pro...
Great question. We're in the midst of updating our privacy policy, but I'll give a full explanation here.

It may be useful to differentiate between what data we collect and what data we don't collect in order to clear up any confusion.

1. What we collect

We collect a variety of usage analytics that help us understand how you use Kite and how we can improve the product. These include:

* Which editors you are using Kite with

* Number of requests that the Kite Engine has handled for you

* How often you use specific Kite features e.g. how many completions from Kite did you use

* Size (in number of files) of codebases that you work with

* Names of 3rd party Python packages that you use

* Kite application resource usage (CPU and RAM)

You can opt-out of sending these analytics by changing a Kite setting (https://help.kite.com/article/79-opting-out-of-usage-metrics).

Additionally, we collect anonymized "heartbeats" that are used to make sure the Kite app is functioning properly and not crashing unexpectedly. These analytics are just simple pings with no metadata, and as mentioned, they're anonymized so that there's no way for us to trace which users they came from.

We also use third party libraries (Rollbar and Crashlytics) to report errors or bugs that occur during the usage of the product.

2. What we don't collect

* Contents (partial or full) of any source code file that resides on your hard drive

* Information (i.e. file paths) about your file system hierarchy

* Any indices of your code produced by the Kite Engine to power our features - these all stay local to your hard drive
Keep in mind that "super simple" usually also means "easily reproduced". The dream of cranking out a profitable SaaS offering in a weekend is possible, it's just not sustainable past a year or two unless you also incorporate some differentiation.

It's usually the differentiation that makes the SaaS more complex than an MVP.
I have just one thing to say - never ever "name-drop" a data structure in a coding interview unless you are going to use it in your solution. It doesn't add anything to your interview but has the potential to get you in trouble.

The title is extremely ill-chosen for an otherwise acceptable blog post. The post itself really has nothing to do with tech interviews.
I don't think they were ever really won over, I think their concerns were heard and they begrudgingly acquiesced rather than vote down C++17.

Well, on the one hand, it is great to have a replacement for the original controller. At a previous employer I had a Bekant with the stock controller, and those darn things are dreadfully unreliable. We had enough of those desks to get good reliability statistics... and the statistics are awful. So an open source replacement is great.

That said: Who the heck needs a motorized desk????? When it came to spending my own money, I got an IKEA Skarsta... essentially the same desk but with a hand crank, for half the price. Yes, you can buy two sit/stand hand-crank desks with a reliable mechanism for the cost of one motorized desk with a P.O.S. controller. Or you can do what I did, use the money saved to buy the most gigantic monitor I could find, which improves my productivity much more than the difference between a motorized versus hand crank desk mechanism.

EDIT to add:

In fact, I am pretty sure you can buy just the Skarsta hand crank mechanism. The next time I do a desk for myself, I will probably buy the leg mechanism and cut a custom-shape table top from some 3/4" cabinet ply.
Regarding hardware: I try to not share infrastructure. What I can not fully control can and will dysfunction, even in datacenters. For example, the LAN options are most often VLAN. So for my servers, I have extra NICs and direct connections one-to-one by crossover cable and ARP monitoring. It costs more, but it quickly pays for itself.

For software, everything is done in house. As you said, it doesn't have to be done a way or another.
