TSL: a developer-friendly Time Series query language for all our metrics
Well usually we want to run code at global scope, and direct eval is an obstacle.

There's workarounds like "(1, eval)", but the most idiomatic way is the Function constructor, which always runs code at global scope. That leads to this pattern:

var global = (new Function("return this")())

which really is the safest way to get the global object. I know right.

I hope you live in Europe and often take long hauls. The A380 was built to travel from one big city to another big city. It's a beautiful plane, but it needs to be filled up with hundreds of passengers to be economical, needs a huge runway, and can only park in a handful of the largest airports in the world.

When it does that, it does it beautifully. I took a New York to Dubai flight that was top notch, even in coach in the middle aisle. That said, there's no way that plane could realistically make most domestic flights or even medium demand international ones.

The 90 days was, as mentioned, a lower bound, not an upper bound. They were planned to last at least 90 days.

Framed this way it's not entirely surprising they lasted longer, especially given the fortunate turn of events with the martian wind cleaning the solar panels of dust.

This of course does not in any way diminish the engineering and ingenuity involved with designing and operating the rovers.

> I'd like for the EU to transform more into a state, but that will be hard unless the local powerful are willing to give up their power. The concessions that had to be made to get as far as the EU is today are also part of what is holding it back. Thankfully a significant veto power will remove itself from the EU in the coming months.

Okay...I'm assuming you're based somewhere in the EU. As far as you can tell does the average German want to be i the same state as the average Greek? Do Germans want to be in the same state with the French. I'm not so sure...I can imagine Germany, Austria and Switzerland working reasonably well as a single state. The same could be said about Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg.

I'm sympathetic to your overall reasoning. When I look at the US it feels like a minor miracle that it has held together for as long as it has. I'm rather skeptic about the possibility of the EU ever approaching anything like that kind of union.
I feel the consequences are a bit different. If you have ethical reasons, then no meat is ok. If you have ecological reason, a little bit (especially gras-fed or similar) seems ok (the only question is how much).

I Believe Most Digital Tokens Will Go to Zero: Barry Silbert
I agree with the general sentiment just wanted to point out that "my schema is my app layer" has some valid use-cases. At my current job we deal with highly complex schemas (modelling insurance contracts). Correctness is paramount but at the same time you need flexibility in terms of change over time. Defining these schemas at the DB level would be painful, a bit like writing web apps in assembly. Languages like Haskell (which we use) help here with their rich and expressive typing capabilities, so we can model these complex domains expressively and use the DB only for persistence. Admittedly it does have downsides, like having to write your own migration layer, but for this use-case the benefits outweigh the pains.

PS.: We do use Postgres though ;) as it has 1st class json support and at the same time we have the luxury of using its relational capabilities where needed (think of a hybrid model).

> I've been told, but never actually looked it up, that there is a theorem that proves you always have to have at least one single point of failure.

In what context? There's a theorem that arbitrarily-reliable computation can be done with noisy components, as long as the noise is below some threshold (e.g. picture less than 1 error per 10 operations). [1]

Sometimes just checking the checkbox is enough. Sometimes you need to identify cars and store fronts. I think the better Google knows who you are, the more likely just the checkbox is going to be enough. If you go incognito, you have to train their neural nets, if you give up your privacy, you get in for free.

The clever part from Google's perspective is that you have to trade one of these things to Google in order to get access to sites that do not belong to Google at all. Google convinced site owners to have their users pay a tax to Google.
Ask HN: Classic books in their field?
If you were creating a library and had $500 to spend for each of these subject areas, which reference books (generally, for the lay person, or undergraduate student) would you buy?
Computing (inc. computer science); medicine; astronomy; physics; philosophy; political science and economics; and world history (/not/ USA history)?

The intention is to spend money on classic texts that will last a good ten years or more, and that will be valuable into the future.

So for computing, nothing about Ruby on Rails, Node, or other flavor of the month. But Code Complete might make the cut.

Things which are freely available online, probably also won't make the cut. So in political science and economics, /Wealth of Nations/ and /Capital/ won't be chosen. However, /A Theory of Justice/ might be.

Authoritative works (e.g. in medicine /Gray's Anatomy/) are preferred.
I’ve been using exim and dovecot with rspamd for spam filtering. Have two VPSs on different providers to provide MX backup properly (they’re cheap these days and for low traffic I don’t need much more than the smallest VPS). I do DKIM and SPF but not DMARC and it gets through gmails spam filter fine and passes the various other tests you can find online. Took a while to set up right (in the end I found the best route to predictability to be writing my own exim config file rather than using someone else’s template) but pretty simple to run after that - there’s some effort to make sure I keep up to date with security patches and monitor log files for anything untoward but it’s relatively small. Using letsencrypt certs so email clients have been relatively simple to set up.

Overall it’s been a good experience. I run into a few sites which when I send to them classify my email as spam or grey list my sending IP so mail doesn’t get through quickly but then I used to have the same spam problem with some sites running my own domain through google apps.
BBC documentaries are the only exception - it seems that it requires public funding to avoid trying to make documentaries entertaining in a way that defeats the purpose of watching a documentary.
The true goal of commercial airplane design is to find a plane that fits demand of a particular route, so it's always full. With an A380, you can do well on long haul popular flights, but even with those flights, you have very little flexibility if things change.

Panam invested heavily in the 747 back in the day, and they minted money by offering relatively reasonably priced international long haul flights. But when gas prices and terrorism spiked, diminishing demand, they had these huge gas guzzling planes that they couldn't fill up.

The A380 is really impressive, and it works well (now) on several specific routes. But it's clear that the industry is moving towards fuel efficient, more reasonably sized planes like the 787 and the A350 that are efficient on both long and short haul flights.

Allow me to introduce you to 'push polling' [1] where you disguise marketing as polling.

For example, you "survey" people with questions like "Are you aware that Hello Fresh delivers in your area?" and "Would you be more or less likely to vote for Barack Hussein Obama if you knew he was a Muslim?"

Sadly surveys and polling are already spam, anyone who wants to get rid of phone spam will have to ban nonconsensual telephone polling as well.

There are plenty of money to be made, just not in the way you typically do with other kinds of software. For example, a company named Bossland reversed many popular games and made bots for those. Their most recent effort was Pokémon Go. Nobody has reversed the newest versions of Pokémon Go and I believed you can make millions off it if you play your cards right.
This was a nice read and a good introduction to text processing with unix commands.

I agree with the other user re python usage - that you may as well use it for the whole task if you're going to use it at all - but I don't think it's a major flaw. It worked for you right? I would suggest naming the python file a bit more descriptively though.

Interesting to read the other suggestions about dealing with this without python.

When you say "just livestream footage" do you mean it's actually unedited? I'd expect that to be a painful watch in most cases and not terribly informative.

But the problem is once you edit, you unavoidably set a narrative by that process. Charlie Brooker (now most noted for "Black Mirror") years ago did a show "Screenwipe" which was a mixture of review show and factual pieces about how TV is made. One of the examples he shows is they got a bunch of people and shot "livestream footage" of them interacting, and then they took that one set of footage and re-edited it to produce different narratives. All the narratives seem like coherent understandings of things that actually happened - there is video footage after all, but all of the narratives are contrived in the edit suite and don't reflect reality. That's how "Reality Television" is made and it would apply to documentary footage - if it's edited, which it will be unless you're making slow TV (e.g. 4 hours of a man painting a wall or a woman knitting a scarf).

The vibe you're talking about, in which an interview subject believes they were truthfully represented but an audience is horrified, is basically the MO of another UK TV presenter, Louis Theroux. But Theroux would never pretend the edit suite doesn't give him the power to choose a narrative.
Thanks! Glad to hear!

Server-driven UI rendering and React-Native isn't mutual exclusive though.
Server can still render a React-Component-tree-like structure that will then be used in the client to render the actual component in react native. This gives you ability to make some UI layout/theme adjustment from the server, which is good for A/B test. Doesn't means it goes back to rendering every view from the server on every interaction.

Their own employees (government employees)?

I guess not.

So the proper title would be "Sweden government lowers employment by forcing additional labor cost on employers".

That is nothing but a hidden tax. The government could tax employers and fund (or give tax breaks to) startups, to the same negative economic effect.

If the startup is so lame to not be able to afford paying its employees, why the heck should its employees be funded by their previous employer?

There are many services out there that can solve Google's recaptcha for fraction's of a penny. When someone puts one up, they can make things more expensive, and perhaps sometimes uneconomical, but in general, the cost is low (~$2.00 for 1,000 recaptchas).

When someone uses a recaptcha, they should think about why they are doing so. It's one thing to use it to save a business model, but it's another to use it to protect information that should be free anyway. The elephant in the room is government data. Many government agencies think that selling their data can be a nice source of side revenue, and a recaptcha is a good way of enforcing it. In reality, they just increase the costs for everyone, and those with means can obtain the information while those without means cannot.

Governments need to release their data, freely, without captchas or fees for single users and bulk users, no exceptions.
GEMA pissed people off greatly, but the problem wasn't that GEMA is inherently corrupt and harmful (which it is, because it's structured around the needs of large labels in a way that hurts small independent artists). The problem there was that GEMA demanded more money than YouTube was willing/able to pay, there was no clear right or wrong side to it.

I'd agree with you if it was someone like Goldman Sachs or HSBC that I wanted to get funding from. I wouldn't criticize them like this because I know it would fall into deaf ears. I think the reason we criticize YC is we believe the people at the top actually care about more than their own quarterly bonus.
No problem, glad to help.

No specific recommendations. I just googled and read up on the places I was going.

Haha, definitively lax on regulation. My friend and I was approached by a security guard while in queue to check in at the airport - he wanted a bribe to let us board with our carry-on, "baksheesh". Worst case, I'd have to check it in so wasn't nervous.

Regarding the pyramids, a thing they have against them is that they are pyramid-shaped, oddly enough. Since they are leaning away from you, you don't really get the feeling that "oh my, they are so tall!" when standing next to it. Hawkers and hustlers are then further annoyances. If I'd do an Egypt-travel again, I'd probably go to Luxor the very most. Go to the tempels, bring water, and walk by yourself, not with a group. Then take off in directions where others aren't going. Also, egyptians at the temples (etc) aren't necessarily employed to be at the temple. More than a few times, someone official-looking ushered me to come, come, look here, great photo, take photo with me! Then, "baksheesh". Just "la-a" and ignore.

Happy travels! And if you do go to the pyramids, there is a pizza hut with a balcony just outside the area. Bring a telephoto lens, and be there in time before sunset. Great view.
Almost right... these headlines are designed to get people to click on them and look at ads. I didn't fall for the bait, but even if I did, based on the headline, I doubt it would treat statistics in any honorable way.
The stand-out detail is 6 months unpaid leave. Sounds like a pretty reasonable idea; if an employer can't cope with that they probably have a resiliency issue with their staffing numbers anyway. The upside of a lucky startup is clearly much greater than the potential drain on the economy, and the incentives don't seem unsound.
But it has to be done the right way.
