That's not up for debate, really here--is it? Rather the pointed argument seems to be that for some of a certain age group, their exposure to the genre was Star Wars. It seems merely in this case, yours was a different movie.

Besides that, there's an important difference between 2001 and Star Wars: 2001 utilized existing classical scores that are excellent for their own reasons, whereas John Williams composed entirely new scores for Star Wars that were similarly excellent.

It is just my personal opinion, but I think it will be a very long time before we see another symphonic movie score that embeds itself so deep into the cultural fabric as Star Wars did. Not only was the music phenomenal and stands well on its own, so many of them are elevated because of the action taking place with them on screen.

In fact I stopped my research in supervised learning and switched to collaborative agents ~97 because I saw ML as deadended. Agents would be the thing! (hint: not so much, so far)

I think Moore's law is interesting. Technically Moore's law is about transistor density/integration, in effect it became about CPU performance and similar phenom were seen in disc and network performance. Just now we are seeing a move in general architecture away from spinning rust and towards chip based storage - ssd's and optane (or just huge DRAM) which has been much slower than I thought, but is still happening. There will be more progress as we wring out the opportunities in architecture and network devices, but overall you are right - no more Mooore's.

Also there's been a wave of progress funded by excitement - it's really hard to see how Google justified the spend on Deepmind's TPU infastructure, but they did - in contrast to a rational investment from a research council which would never have bought into Alphazero and the rest.

There's opportunity to do more - big gaps in datasets, evaluation metrics, refinement of techniques (mac nets, adversarials etc), but it's back to hardscrabble now - and I'm interested to see if this is a Warren Buffet moment. After all, you only see who's wearing shorts when the tide goes out!
> Yes, concealing adverse information about public figures, particularly public officials, is a social harm promoted by legalized blackmail.

I'd say that argument only holds water if you're going beyond simply criminalizing blackmail and actually saying that there is a legal obligation to report any such information, such that agreeing not to reveal the information for a price means failing in that duty (assuming you keep to the agreement). In that case blackmail is just a special case of soliciting a bribe. However, the idea that arbitrary private citizens are obligated to publish any and all damaging information they might obtain about a public figure seems like a rather hard sell.
How many times have they flip-flopped back and forth on eggs alone? It's easy to get the impression that the people running these studies are either biased or simply don't know what they're doing.

That's right back to the net neutrality debate and the claim that ISP should charge prices that scale with customer profitability rather than network load.
It's good to see a focus on small input sizes. Small keys are extremely important for hash functions and are often overlooked. Whenever I've looked at the distribution of key sizes in real world Rust code using hash maps it's always turned out to be shockingly small. 8 byte hash inputs are very common in real world code, for instance.

Most hash functions and benchmarks are not tuned for small inputs. This is why SipHash is disfavored in Rust these days, because while its performance is excellent on large keys it suffers quite a bit on small ones.

Were you trying to write GUI code?

Because of my experience it was also plain sailing, while doing the tutorials and exercises from the books I bought.

Then I tried to make a GUI application in Gtk-rs and had lots of fun with event handler callbacks, which are the main reason why Relm was created.

Becoming an Expat
My family and I are in the process of moving abroad from the USA. We will be moving to a Scandinavian country from the west coast of the USA.

If you have done something similar, I would like to hear what your experience has been.

* Do you have any advice?
* Do you have any regrets?
* Did you have any anxiety or second-thoughts before the move?
* How did your family handle the transition?
* What would you have done differently?

I don't know anyone in my personal life who has gone through something like this, and so I figure the HN community would be a good place to inquire.
Most republicans would not feel pressure to support the supposed mandate behind a democratic president. Today, they'd actively go against it in most cases. It goes the other way too. That's why few democrats support the president or republican agendas.

I just don't see it that way at all. Think about Obama's work on national health care. A ton of democrats were worried about supporting it.
Many of the same people consider it to be a crime to create content that glorifies the holocaust.

I've observed factoring generally to be a big problem. I also recall the official introduction of factoring in our curriculum (9th grade?[0]) to be when they lost an awful lot of people. Perhaps not coincidentally, it's also where things took a big swerve from straight application of memorized facts and the correct algorithms into lateral thinking and intuitive guesswork, and no-one bothered to make that clear at the time. Lots of very angry, discouraged students resulted, all wanting to know exactly WTF they were being asked to do and getting, from their perspective, no straight answer.

Mathematics from there on continued to mostly be the memorizy-algorithmy kind, but with enough of the intuitiony-thinky kind sprinkled in and no clear guide to which was which or even that the teachers were asking us to do something fundamentally different that anyone who hit a big speed-bump at factoring didn't have a hope of keeping up.

He lost in Texas because he ran as a democrat in Texas. I doubt talking about issues would have made much of a difference.

Issues make a much larger difference in the primaries than the general elections for two reasons. The policy gap between Cruz and Beto are vast compared to differences between any two democratic candidates. And independents tend to be less driven by issues and more by character and charisma.
Sorry, but this is just flat out wrong. Yes, drought and fire have always been a fact of life for California. But if you map the frequency and severity of fires alone, it’s on a remarkably upward trajectory over the past two decades. It’s climate change.
Manufacturing and software development are very different though. Any able bodied person can work in a factory. If we're being generous I'd say at most 10% of the population is even capable of writing software. The demand for these people is only going to increase. As we have seen with rising developer salaries, the scarcity of the skill allows some leverage to the employee that other fields lack.

Software development is also unique in that it's one of the few roles that works really well remotely. I'd say most developers are even more productive remote than in the office due to the need to sustain mental focus in a way that's difficult with a lot of distractions.
Oh great, another one of those bs self reporting nutritional studies over super long periods of time. 17.5 years and they only followed up once from what I can tell. Can you accurately report what you ate over the last 17.5 years?

Even over the past week can be difficult as I realized when I started tracking my food in MyFitnessPal. Unless consistently tracking, it's pretty easy to be very far off from what you actually eat.

That's assuming people are even trying to be accurate. Many look on the past with rose tinted glasses and forget about indulgences and snacks.

These studies are plague on the industry and need to go away.
I agree. Eat what you want. Don't overdo any one thing. Prefer natural to processed food. Watch your weight. Enjoy life and don't worry so much.
Hard for the US to condone the human rights violations of China against Ugur's when the US itself doesn't want to be held accountable to war international treaties and standards.

In the "Death of the Family Dairy Farm" article that was on HN the other day, the clear trend was toward CAFO's (Concentrated Animal Feedlot Operations) - aka giant farms.

Along with these, there are really clear environmental impacts as the density of the herd/land is just overwhelming to the point where it's not "cows fertilizing the field" but being legally required to create massive manure lagoons, etc.

What's clever about the cow toilet is that it opens up new options for treatment of both manure and urine.

This is the article from the other day, find "manure lagoon" in it to see all the problems

Political articles are becoming increasingly more popular on HN and collect more fake internet points for posters.
The author of that piece is desperately trying to push the discrimination narrative, hoping nobody looks outside of the bubble long enough to question it. Anyone who wasn’t completely tuned out during 2018, however, will question it because it got so much coverage during the campaign — I mean, the DUI was such a secret that he spent a fair amount of debate time talking about it.

If your post is intended to combat the tendency for westerners to constantly repeat stories about western contributions to science and culture and to minimize or ignore the contributions of other cultures then I'd agree but I think your post doesn't really get that across.

The article seems to be making the assertion that William Jones was the first person to use the Greek Letter "Pi" to represent Pi the transcendental number and the first to suggest Pi was unable to be "expressed in numbers."

So in that sense the claim is that Jones invented the association of "Pi" to Pi...the association of the Greek letter to the number itself.

The article really isn't talking about finding approximations for pi so neither Zu Chongzhi nor Archimedes or any other older mathematicians finding approximations are really relevant here. [0]

Frankly its not even a particularly interesting piece of history in my opinion. A curiosity but nothing more.

You're missing the point of what makes Python attractive (to me at the very least):

-> Easy to pick up

-> Ecosystem of libs : whatever domain specific problem you're dealing with, there's probably something out there to help you.

-> Ecosystem of users : be it for hiring or simply stack overflowing your issues, there's plenty of people.

All of this contributes to make Python the best Swiss Army knife of programming.

If you go chopping some wood, I'd recommend using an axe / chainsaw / saw but for the day to day, your generalist tool does the trick.

Do the same calls to the same APIs from the same customers ever change from v1 to v2 (or vice versa)? If not, can you record if it was v1/2 and then always make the same call after that? And then don't record errors for your initial probe request? Then your data will be clean and you'll make a lot less calls.

Well, Mandos sleep should have only come into play if you were killing other members of your 'side'. I spent a lot of time playing characters on both sides, killing and being killed in PvP, but always cross 'side', and Mandos sleep was never a thing.

Ping time is definitely important, but I had a lot of success playing on a 1200 and then a 2400 baud modem. Running PPP over that gave me some nasty latency spikes. You could not always play in the normal way, but the game was definitely fun and playable, in different ways. (:

Re: losing more than a whole level after dying: that and the other 'hard' things about the game really drew me in.

I crave games where there are real risks, something substantial to lose. For most free games, that is going to be mean time.

It's like the difference between playing laser tag and paintball wars. It usually hurts to get lit up with paintballs. Thus, all of the players are far more focused and invested in doing well.

Definitely consider going back. There aren't that many players on these days. When I checked the other day, there were only 30 or so.

So you can play with relative safety in vast chunks of the world, as either side.
Come on guys. I get it that everyone and their cat invent new languages nowadays. And that is a cool thing, do not get me wrong. But as a professional in that field, is it too much to ask to give just a little overview over the /interesting/ parts of the language? What is its type discipline? What data structures are supported? What is the execution/evaluation strategy? How about concurrency? Coroutines? Macros? Modules? The language design space has been mapped thoroughly in the last decades. Is it so hard to give a tiny X on that map?
> Bartenders in South Dakota don't make the same as bartenders in San Francisco for a reason, though they add the same value to an establishment.

I bet the drinks in SF cost more so they actually do add more value there. You're talking about on-premise work and I'm talking about remote work. If you have a great dev that starts working remote in NY then moves to Kentucky would you give them a pay cut? Of course not, they'd still be super valuable to the company and you'd want to retain them.

The incentive structure works without a mandate, because there is a market for public interest information (both via news media and interested parties). Criminalizing blackmail negated a countervailing incentive, but that doesn't make it necessary to criminalize non-reporting generally to create an incentive to report.
My apartment's portal allows me to pay either with a debit/credit card or a bank account. I go through my bank account, as they charge a 5%(?) fee to use a card.
One idea I had a while ago was that you could use these for saving energy by targeting exposed skin surfaces only. This would be particularly useful for offices: the office can be set to the lower temperature preferred by men, and then women can be targeted by the infrared heaters to keep them comfortable as well, so no one has to be uncomfortable while still saving energy. (It has to default to colder/male preferences because you save more energy by keeping the office as a whole at the lower temperature, and anyway, there's no such thing as an 'anti-heat beam' so you can't cool down a subset.)

I wish I knew what was going on over there. First gen had some rough edges, but eight years later we're still glad we bought ours. Yet they went so long with the original design, I figured they just gave up on electric and kept the Leaf as a compliance car. Then they came out with the new one. Okay, so haven't given up. Then where's something other than a sedan? Like a Kia Sol or summat, because our next electric is going to be able to carry dogs.

So maybe Nissan got a head start, but of all the electric vehicle manufacturers Tesla is the only one moving things forward at the moment with saleable vehicles, that much I'll give them credit for.
archive.is/fo basically doesn't work with cloudflare DNS due to a misconfiguration by whomever runs the archive.today service. It has been reported by multiple people to the site operator and at this point it seems likely intentional.
Value-added actually does depend on where you are: in-person interactions are significantly more valuable than remote ones. Network effects from who you know (which generally depends on where you are) matter. Interactions with creative people work as sounding boards for ideas.

This is precisely why technology companies cluster in hubs - not just SV but Austin, Denver/Boulder, Seattle, etc. and aren't more or less evenly distributed.

That aside, salary is determined by supply and demand, not solely by value-added. Value-added is a factor in labour demand, but it can be totally swamped by other factors.
I used to be that way. 100% hardcore gimme that delicious bacon.

Unfortunately, no, because Americans culturally despise executive and political experience. We want cowboys staring down the world with steely-eyed grit, and ruthless CEOs running the government like a corporation, and anti-establishment bulls smashing up the china shop of the status quo. We want Mr. Smith to go to Washington and tell them we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it any more.

One of the aspects of Waffle House that's always impressed me is their commitment to be open no matter what happens.

That's a good point. Most of this boils down to not having an upgrade nag prompt. Since netflix doesn't have a free tier, they are less affected. Spotify is in a tough spot because they want free users to upgrade.
Don’t get me wrong; I would expect salaries for remote programmers in rural areas to be higher than typical for the area.

But the future is not going to be something like hundreds of thousands a year in a town where average of cost of living is like $30-$40k.

It’s quite possible I am being too cynical. But people spend all day carefully measuring what we should make to insure the balance isn’t too tilted in our favor. I doubt they’re going to miss what seems like an obvious reality to me.
