It's not functional programming so much as the verbose obtuseness of old-school OOP languages like Java and C++.

It takes so much effort to satisfactorily define a type, or a function, in earlier versions of these languages. They've improved, though.
Come and take it. Good luck chasing me in an electric vehicle.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Shkreli was a symptom of a broken system, not a disease in and of himself. Punishing Shkreli is like treating the symptoms of a disease without addressing the actual causes of the disease: broken health insurance, etc.

Shkreli ultimately just trolled the media too hard and they HAD to shut him down because if he kept going he was going to inspire a lot of copycats.
You know what I mean.

How does firebase compare to what parse was?

Edit: I’ve used firebase a lot and found it to be a great experience, enabling some of the most rapid product development I’ve ever done. Real-time db, login, cloud functions, and integration with google cloud are all great. Just wondering if there’s something cool or different about parse/buddy worth looking into. Also curious if it was different than firebase and wonder if it died because it wasn’t.
That sounds like BS. I have two kids and I can usually eek out an hour every day, sometimes two. So that puts me at 7 hours minimum, but I can usually make 10-20 happen. My kids wake up around 7 and go to sleep around 8. If we assume 8 hours of sleep, that leaves me with 3 hours unaccounted for every day.

Perhaps they're counting chores as "not free time", but most of those can be done while doing other things. For example, clean dishes while waiting for a pot to boil, or clean the toilet after or before taking a shower. I've done these types of things to free up time after my kids go to bed. If they're safe enough for me to get the restroom, they're probably safe enough for me to clean something.

I wonder how much time we'd end up with if we included time on a smartphone not doing productive tasks. It seems people spend time on their phone when they have a few minutes instead of doing chores, and then do those chores during their "free time". If you want more free time, find ways to squishing more into your non-free time.
Netinfo?

Stop using WHOIS. Start using RDAP. it is web cacheable, its JSON, and it has 302 redirection steering.

What he’s done that’s worth defending? His actions pointed out a glaring flaw in the US healthcare system. I wouldn’t call him a whistleblower — more of an opportunist — but the effect of his actions was to blow the whistle on a broken system and get guys like me woke to the fact that the guys who make epi-pen and insulin did far worse than him, yet still walk free and unpunished.

The effect of Shkreli’s actions, to me personally, are functionally the same as hackers who hack into FB... only to have FB pay them for exposing the holes in their security system. Shkreli exposed a hole in the healthcare system. That he did so opportunistically is legitimately kinda gross, but the net benefit of his actions is that guys like me are now way more aware of the broken system that allowed him to operate in the first place. THAT’S what he’s done that’s worth defending.

Lots of species will survive no matter what we do, but humans are among the delicate majority.

I realize this is subjective, but to me, biodiversity is obviously far and away the greatest thing in the known universe. It's astounding we (humans in the aggregate) care so little for it.
> Coincidentally, yesterday I started to work on a co-working space. That new atmosphere helped me significantly and I hope it keeps this way for some time at least.

Did you have to pay for this space?

I know for me, the best way to kick myself in the pants is to start paying for something. If I stay in my apartment (which I'm paying for anyways), it's not easy to finish certain tasks, but once I have to start paying out of pocket that usually kicks me into high gear due to thinking "well I'm paying an extra $350/month for this space, if I sit here and slack off, I'm paying $350 /month to read HN, nope!".

Why are we still tolerating dousing intensive livestock farming with antibiotics?

This has to be outlawed.
I am not an expert on the topic. All I know is that the production procedure is almost the exact same as regular zinc batteries. Any facility that can produce regular zinc batteries today can produce these. The difference is just in the chemical compounds used. The prototype is currently being tested 24/7 to ensure that they can deliver what they promise in terms of life cycle and output over an extended period of time.

Enerpoly is planning on mass-producing and selling these battery cells within the next few years (R&D + business and production line takes time to setup). My understanding is that the scaling process is relatively easy as industry standards will apply here due to their technology´s backwards compatibility with existing production methods.

If you have any specific questions that you´d like me to forward to their CEO, feel free to shoot me an email and I will put you in touch.

'Moral responsibility' is a very interesting choice of words given the history of this institution. But, feels like history isn't used for forecasting doom if it causes short-term inconvenience.
You can use the `git check-ignore` command to check if a certain directory is ignored. I used it in my zsh config to suppress the status of ignored directories in my prompt.
Your DNA is barely yours. It's all shared with a lot of other people. You have only a handful (~100) private mutations that could really be called "yours", which is moot next to the six billion base pairs that make up the rest of your genome. Now yes, the unique combination of DNA that is in your genome is virtually impossible to be shared with anyone else. But, you are not going to be able to precisely and completely reconstruct it. Even the human reference has dozens of remaining gaps. Nobody really knows exactly what is in their own genome, and every reconstruction is based on sharing with other humans, so the idea of ownership is somewhat strange to me.
Securing an S3 bucket with proper permissions, encryption, and bucket policy is not necessarily rocket science. The tools are all there, but tell someone who doesn’t care about security to set up an S3 bucket for your company and the end result will likely reflect that. While AWS has plenty of faults worth discussing, this specific issue is not on Amazon.
It is well known that colleges often give special consideration to children of alumni, largely for the purpose of encouraging and sustaining financial contributions. They usually justify it by noting that it brings money into the school and allows them to offer better financial aid.

I think they would do well to simply state some students are admitted based on whether they bring something worthwhile to the college, including but not limited to: academic achievement, artistic accomplishment, athletic prowess, background diversity, gender balance, interest diversity, and financial contribution/desirability, but if students graduate from the school then they have probably proven that they are at least minimally qualified to attend.

It has never been a level playing field, and there are always qualified students who are rejected for reasons completely beyond their control. One bit of consolation for those rejected from all of their elite schools is that it may be easier to excel at a non-elite college, improving your chances for admission to an elite graduate program. And seriously, who really wants to pay $50K+ a year to a college/country club only to be saddled with crippling student loan debt after graduation, debt that even bankruptcy cannot expunge?
> The dogs pawed at the bowl for a few seconds and then gave up, gazing up at their owners as if asking for help. The cats, on the other hand, rarely looked at their owners; they just kept trying to get the food.

This surprises me because my cat often seems to ask me for help. For example, if I leave a door closed (most cat owners will tell you that a cat cannot abide a closed door!), he'll spend a minute or two trying to open it himself - pawing under the door, clawing at the crack in the door frame, and nudging it with his head. When he concludes can't get in, he'll meow at the door, or in my direction. Then he'll walk nearer to where I am and meow again, while looking right at me. This seems pretty clear "I can't do this, so you help me" behavior. He also meows at me if I forget to scoop his litter box.

I wonder if the cat-dog difference in the case of this experiment is that cats are solitary hunters, whereas dogs are pack hunters. Trying to get food out of some kind of puzzle box doesn't sound like a general intelligence/social task as much as a hunting-type task. A cat asking for help hunting would be like a human asking for help chewing their food. It would never even cross your mind to ask for help doing this innately personal task of chewing the food you're about to swallow. I'm of the opinion that we underestimate just how social or intelligent cats are, so I'm pushing back on the idea that that experiment proves anything obvious. It is interesting, though!
"Parents don't make legal disclaimers"

And since you were the one who insulted someone with the assumption that they just realized that SimCity is just a game, it is a bit laughable to accuse me of pedantry, because I told you, that games do have a base in reality.
> about posix and the GNU API reading the source code

Windows has huge API surface. If you really want to learn it, I suggest reading books, not source code. E.g. “Windows internals” is descent one.

If you’re just interested how particular program works, with the tools that I’ve mentioned in the above comment, you’ll find more about the API than looking at the source code. Especially if you’re just learning. Many apps use big libraries like MFC or QT, the source code will tell you how the developer called these libraries, but the tools will tell you how the process interacts with OS. Due to the complexity of the libraries, can be huge differences between the two.
I would give your anecdata precisely zero weight because it directly contradicts with the hundreds and hundreds of Tesla owners I’ve met and chatted with.

Google invested in it not for it to be available without them. So I say it's not gonna happen even with higher price. They would also not like a suggestion that the same phone without their software is somehow more valuable. Also I feel that the GP asked for less hypothetical options, not more.
Why would you want source code for that?

Acting US Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan earlier played down the threat the debris might pose to satellites in space and said it was his understanding the debris would eventually burn up in the atmosphere.

So it whose wordings are correct ?

Pentagon or NASA ?

The ASAT test was specifically conducted at the orbit of 380Km less than the maximum range of 100Kms because the residues will gradually decompose within weeks and there will be almost none interference to existing or upcoming orbital paths.

The Micro satellite was specifically chosen for this purpose. There is no reason for Nationalism in this.

At a certain point, you need to make sure everything is redundant. Have two people understand and one component well enough to step in during an emergency (e.g. something breaks whole someone is on vacation).

You can still separate tasks based on who is best at something, but make sure every component has been worked on by multiple people.

A company I worked for had a serious problem with that, so I pushed to get every piece covered by two people. I used "code reviews" for this, where in other to submit a change, someone else familiar with the component had to review it, and they had to understand what the code did and how it did it. We only had a handful of employees, and it was definitely a pain getting it set up, but we were able to survive our first "key man" leaving, followed by a second "key man" somewhat soon after.

If there is anyone on a project that isn't replaceable, you better be okay with the project failing if that person leaves for whatever reason.
Norway only dodged this because we had a supremely visionary Iraqi visit the authorities, and managed to convince them of this danger while the industrial influence was still small enough for government to manage. It's a remarkably lucky coincidence.
That's far from a Reddit-specific thing. Granted, it occurs on Reddit, but the behavior is observed throughout all "social media."
It does not need to be copied to be analyzed. You can feed it through a nanopore without any copying, and do an analysis in current flux space without ever instantiating the original sequence. But I am just being semantic. Really, we are all copies of each other, remixed and so forth. If Joe's body makes sperm that includes a haplotype in Sally's genome, is he violating her copyright? We quickly get to an absurd place. We no more own our genome than we own our great grandmother, or she owns us.

By discussing it rationally and coming to a consensus. No one has a universal definition of ethics—such a thing is impossible for limited, innately selfish humans (which we all are). And no two people will likely ever agree on every single ethical question presented. But, by discussing something at a round table of thought-diverse people, as long as they are all guided by the principal of wanting to come to agreement, will result in a productive, reasonable compromise. To say that a genuinely well-meaning person shouldn’t be allowed at that table because they disagree with the others is the same as saying you’re fine with biased outcomes, as long as they’re biased towards you.

Follow engineering best practices. One thing you should never do is to write a new system, requiring it to perfectly emulate an old one. It can never work and there will always be unexpected deviations in system behavior. I.e. in Boeing's case it isn't so much about any particular flaws (faulty AoA sensor etc), it is about the whole idea of having a completely new aircraft design appearing to the pilot as if it was an old one. It is similar to replacing an Active Directory deployment with OpenLDAP and betting on users not noticing.

Another engineering best practice is to keep proper logs. The Toyota recalls from 2009 to 2011 were likely caused by some bugs but they weren't able to find the root cause. Ostensibly because not enough data were being logged.

I'll hopelessly upvote and/or comment any positive mentions of WebOS. I still miss the Palm Pre.
Here's an interesting argument WHY you still might choose lithium ion (or whatever you use for automotive storage) for stationary storage instead of some other technology.

Total electricity generation in 2012 was ~21k TWh. Say you need ~8 hours of battery storage daily (i.e. 1/3 of daily use). That works out to about 19k GWh of battery storage, assuming you can recharge daily. For reference, Tesla's Gigafactory produces ~35GWh of batteries per year currently.

Total oil consumption for road transport was ~2k Mtoe in 2012. That works out to 23k TWh of energy. Assume you only need half of that when you go from a heat engine to an electric motor. Now you've got 11.5k TWh of total use. Now assume that you recharge your vehicle nightly. The world would need ~32k GWh of batteries to hold all of the energy currently used for road-going vehicles (given the above assumptions).

The market for whatever battery technology that works for automobiles is the same order of magnitude as the market for grid-scale storage. If you're a battery maker, you can increase your total addressable market by selling into both automotive and grid-attached storage.
