I just did the big 1.x -> 2.x refactor myself, and whilst it's not exactly pretty you can still reuse patches to some degree. It's just that every patch that will be applied independently now needs to be part of its own "base". You can then pull in the "base" wherever you want the patch applied.
It's far from ideal, so I do hope the process improves, but it does at least work

EDIT: Although, after properly reading that linked issue, I see you mean applying the same patch to different resources. I interpreted "target" to mean build target (e.g. deployment/app), you can use the same patch across different deployments (apps) and overlays (environment). However, I see your use case is a bit different.

The worst fear I have isn't about being dead, but about the process: how long does it takes and what someone feels during all that time?

Reading that it's possible to keep some cells in that intermediate stage gives me shivers. I know that hair and nails can keep growing for some while (hey, I'm just a bunch of cells that keep living while others have gone), but when we come to the point that brain cells can be kept alive in a petri dish... Will this make me kind of conciously still alive?

Get Better at Getting Better: The Kaizen
Takehome brings in more revenue and takes less time to administer. Clubman has only just gone live with its first client, though. I think Clubman will outperform Takehome quite soon.

Takehome is in a pretty crowded market space. It has its own distinct niche but it can be quite difficult to communicate that difference to potential buyers.

Clubman, on the other hand, has few competitors. The clients are relatively homogeneous and their needs well articulated. They're a smaller total addressable market but with a higher percentage hit rate.
The problem is that you don't offer any solution. Sure, some homeless people, schizophrenics, and sociopaths are unpleasant to deal with and will find themselves unwanted wherever they go, both due to their own actions and due to prejudices and fear.

They go to libraries, house entrances, metro stations, and so on because they have no other places to go. Putting them out of your sight will not make the problem go away.

The solutions are obvious and not mysterious at all. What do most of them need? Good social programs, free health care, job programs that work and are not just designed to "improve" statistics, personal mentoring, places to go where their few belongings are safe and they are not surrounded by criminals and troublemakers all the time, proper psychiatric care, drug help centres with medical professionals who are not allowed to cooperate with the police except in case of capital crimes, and so on and so on. What do they not need? Well, there are always hard cases and dangerous criminals can be mentally ill
like anybody else, but generally speaking, as a rule of thumb, the last place you'd want to put them are US prisons, because the people who leave them are more likely to be mentally ill than the people who enter them.

The quality of a society can be measured directly by how they deal with their outcasts and troublemakers.
That's also what I'm trying to do. Don't like non permissive copyright? Then just avoid it. However these filters are a threat to free software and the public domain. It wouldn't surprise me if github will wrongly take down projects in the future.
I feel someone else may have said that, but simply said, what if the phenomenon is a wave, and its observable effect a particle? Isn't it the fact that the wave hits matter that makes it observable / measurable. Doesn't seem incompatible, even with the monitors, with the double slits experiment
Great work w Loadster. Didn't know it was a solo effort! I founded another load testing service - loadimpact.com, which is doing very well but certainly not a solo effort and has taken on investors along the way. I'm now trying to build something solo again, and would echo the advice to go for something less technical. Plus do B2B if financial success is important. I have three projects atm, trying to figure out which has the most potential - 2 of them are consumer apps (one unreleased, the other is a crossword game for kids - https://puzzlepirate.net) and one is a technical data storage SaaS for IoT sensor data storage (https://pushdata.io). The latter product is a lot more demanding, from most aspects. A simple and maintenance-free product is worth gold when you're running it solo.
Is it just me or is it automatically doubling the rent you input??
My take.

Things advertised on television that aren't clearly transactional or a consumer brand are nonsense. (e.g. IBM, GE, "Look King has a new game!", "ADM: Supermarket to the World", ...) It's a very bad smell but the time scale for the corpse to be discovered isn't enough to be good for short selling.

Health care is also a big field for scams. Years ago I ran into somebody who dropped out of my grad school to form a drug discovery startup. He told me he was going to cure cancer. I told him "You know, I'd believe you if you were going to cure Tourette's Syndrome. Everybody and his sister tells me that they are going to cure cancer."

Cancer is not one disease, so there is not going to be one "cure". Progress in cancer treatment is almost always evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Between the fear of death and the money involved, people will be attracted to the domain and it will get press.

Academic A.I. is "mostly nonsense", where the technical definition of "mostly" is >50%. There is significant research, but the fundamental problem is that (almost) everybody is trying to improve the performance of algorithms on the same few training sets, but little work is going on into how to make good training sets quickly.

Commerce has the same problem.

Back in the bad old days, to make an "expert system" you had to compile thousands of rules painstakingly. Now to make a "ML model" you have to compile tens of thousands of training examples specific to your use case. Sure, once you have the data you can run experiments forever ("the race to A.I.") but you don't get to the finish line unless you have the data for your task. In particular you are going to have to split the kind of hairs that make neurotypicals pull their hair out, or it is just going to be "garbage in garbage out".)

Biz folks are highly resistant to making training sets. They say they don't have the money or the time.

Funny, they seem to think that a monthly pass to see unlimited movies that costs less than seeing a movie once is a good idea... Or that a business that offers half-priced taxi rides is a good idea...

But make a training set? That's like extending internet service to people who don't have it or developing a small jet that beats the 737.

Quick bug report for you. If you have a category name with a '/' in it, jquery errors out due to $('#sideBar #' + prettyLabelName) having a / in it, which makes it think it's a selector. If you change all instances of $('#sideBar #' + prettyLabelName) to $('#sideBar #' + $.escapeSelector(prettyLabelName)), it should rectify that. As it stands now, if you have a category with a / in it the site is unusable; and the same would probably be true if you had a category starting with a . or #.

In complete agreement. Consider also the historical uniqueness of public libraries: if they didn't already exist in the fabric of civic life, would we really have the political ability to build them? We have little imagination or desire to build civic institutions any more; we only know how to build commercial ones.
The easiest thing would be EMR if you want to start moving to aws-provided stuff. You can also start doing ad-hoc queries for better explore-ability with Athena. You can do all of this without changing the data files maybe.

At Load Impact we faced this issue also: us wanting a predictable revenue stream, and the customers often preferring a pay-as-you-go model. In my mind you should always be customer-centric and offer what the customers want. Otherwise someone else will.
Other countries, those with a somewhat decent social safety net, do not have such a big problem with homelessness. Particularly not with homeless people making public libraries unusable for the general public.
Have you considered putting your information into Elasticsearch?

Logstash would allow you to build out centrally (or via CM) pipelines to manage your data with much greater granularity.

100gb would fit on 3 pretty small instances and Kibana would let you sift through that information very quickly.

Disclaimer: I work for Elastic. (Feel free to reach out to me if I can help though!)

While this is true, the iPad Pro is the key. If Apple can continue to get pro apps ported to the pro they will have many already moved to ARM by the time a full machine comes out. See many Adobe apps already out or in progress.
Yes, that sort of indefinite exclusion from public locations is certainly unfair. "Cruel and unusual", even, from a Western European perspective anyway.

To have a fair comparison if their hearts are really healthier this should be taken into consideration. If you exclude those deaths by animals, during birth, etc, how long would be the average lifespan? And those who live longer still have healthier hearts?

It has probably more to do with genetic drift. You cannot stumble upon a tribe, take some random property they all share, and then make causal inferences from all the other properties they all share. This holds especially when this property correlates with survival of the tribe; it is actually more informative to investigate a group of people with properties that reduce survival, e.g. bad heart conditions.

Ask HN: Leaving engineering for management, what advise do you have for me?
To elaborate I've been an engineer for 10 years and 10 months. Started out as an embedded systems engineer, then moved into game development, application development, and then full-stack for a while. I code in SQL, Python and Javascript (almost everyday). Learning Rust on the side by solving advent of code. I've also coded in C++, ActionScript3, C#, Ruby, TypeScript, and R in the past.

Along the way, I picked up design as a hobby, read books on cognitive science, behavioural psychology, human centric design, and practised interaction design and user experience design on the side. I was hired as a product designer for three years at a startup in San Francisco (which was acquired by a fortune 500). During my time as a product designer at the startup I picked up anthropology and focused on ethnography, did field research work to study our customers, potential customers, and brought new perspectives on features and product to make design better. I learned a lot about product management as well.

For the past four years I've been working as a lead engineer. Mostly focused on architecture, operations, and mentoring team members. I may or may not be promoted to principal engineer this year (didn't really push for it) but I want to leave technical roles and pursue people management or strategic roles in business development and work on my leadership skills. End game for me would becoming a COO or run as an independent consultant in the next 10 years.

What advise do you have for me? I'm interviewing with a few big and small companies in the coming weeks for engineering manager, and strategic positions in business development. Should I aim higher?
I'm currently traveling around Europe. In Spain, Germany and Austria I'm seeing a lot more homeless and beggars since the migrant crisis of the last few years. Germany allowed 1 million to settle so it's not a surprise really. They do seem to prefer to be homeless in Europe rather than be in their home countries from the couple that I've spoken to.
Each new standard usually removes a very small number of features, but Fortran 2018 is mostly a superset of Fortran 77. Most compilers retain absolute backward compatibility, so they can compile a superset of Fortran 66 to 2018, and often some custom language extensions on top.

By your logic, Uber drivers should be criminals.
I recommend thinking about this probabilistically:

X% of tenants are reasonable and handle the repairs they are contractually required to handle smoothly.

(1-X)% of tenants are a massive headache, and call the landlord for every lightbulb that needs changing, threaten to sue you all the time, smash your property to pieces etc etc.

Compute the expected value, and compare with other forms of investment. In my experience, renting out a single property is not worth the expected reward, vis-a-vis other forms of investment. This changes if you can reap economies of scale from renting out multiple properties. (Cut-off point depends on ambient legal system, tax, your own background (e.g. if you are a lawyer, you can handle legal disputes yourself) etc.)
The infrastructure you described is a fairly common pattern in data based startups. As mentioned introducing a new solution has its ups and downs,best to weight out your options evaluate then implement. Since you're the first person you'll have to lay the groundwork. Just remember to take a strategic perspective as the 2nd person on the data science team may think that you're design might be insane a few years down the line.
There have been several books recently that describe the saga of twentieth century quantum physics, culminating in the realisation that entangelement is a real thing that has consequences. My favourite is "The Age of Entanglement: When Quantum Physics Was Reborn" by Louisa Gilder. It's a fun book.

The history is fascinating. I'm waiting for a book that describes the deeper sociological aspect. A book with attitude. For instance, several of the founders of quantum physics had mystico-philosophical things to say about the quantum. But all of this was thrown out the window with the advent of the second world war. Physics became overrun by calculations. It took quite a while for people to get around to thinking about entanglement again. John Bell struggled for decades to get people to notice his work on this. Even the guy that invented the laser was met with stern disbelief when he presented his results to the "elders". Partly this is science just doing its thing, but there also does seem to be a history of science being dragged, kicking and screaming. Especially with quantum physics.

If you have data in multiple formats in s3 you could look at Snowflake (https://www.snowflake.com/). They have built in ingestion functionality and can translate various formats into their warehouse with minimal effort. You could also look at amazon redshift spectrum which will let you run queries across data in s3.

As someone else suggested, you should provide an API access later so that users only have one way to request the data.
> Most of these people aren't "incompatible with peaceful society", they just need help and can't get it

Do you have any source that most of these people can't get it? With a father who outright refused any medical help unless basically forced on him, in a country where it's completely free, I can absolutely relate to the argument that not having involuntary psychatric treatment plays a big part here. And his mental state was only a minor part of his health issues.

It's not nice to be in stationary psychatric treatment. These are horrible places you want to leave as soon as possible. But it sometimes can't be helped.

I can even relate to the point that it's better for (some/most of) these people to live on the streets than in a psychatric facility, while it's probably worse for society as a whole.

Model 3 Inventory Available on Tesla’s Site
I agree with you on this more than the original response. From my time renting — houses and apartments — the former has always been more of an “as-is” type rental. In a house rental, the landlords tend to usually only be responsible for the big ticket items (hot water tank, septic tank, foundation/exterior issues, etc.) while you were left to deal with moderate homeowner fixes. Apartments on the other hand, especially a complex, we’re held responsible for every repair. Pilot light out? Maintenance. Broken window? call the office. Your water pressure suddenly got cut off at 3:30am? Hello, 24/7 maintenance line.

> All human models of reality are flawed.

Definitely. I wholeheartedly subscribe to this view (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_models_are_wrong). The thinking mind will always be confined to models. The way I see it, the questions posed here are an expected wall one will eventually hit when the mind attempts to explain something that is fundamentally inexplicable - i.e the nature of existence.

My current intuition is that the hard philosophical questions posed by probing deep into what matter essentially is are deeply linked to the hard problem of consciousness.

I'll make an even bolder claim, which is that both of these questions arise from a misunderstanding of what consciousness actually is and that no less than a Copernican revolution in understanding its role is what's needed to put them to rest.

Of course, that won't be the end of physics, as the mystery is endless - but it might be the start of a deeper humility and appreciation of that mystery.
I don't look for any ultimate or final meaning, ordinary everyday meaning seems quite sufficient. But worldly meaning is a vast thing with unfathomable depths.

https://meaningness.com/misunderstanding-meaningness-makes-m...

“What’s something useful and enjoyable I can do now?” prompts the answer “Who cares—so what?” Mere usefulness and enjoyability doesn’t sound good enough. This “complete stance”—of enjoyable usefulness—is emotionally unattractive at first. Once accepted, though, it does eliminate the anguish of an existential dilemma. If you can let go of the grandiosity that leads you to imagine that some special task awaits you, and the false hope that getting enough of what you want would make life satisfactory, you can be useful and enjoy yourself.
> Even Intel threw in the towel upon the realization that the capital expenditure wouldn't be worth it

Intel doesn't seem to me like a company that is able to embark on a new technology, innovate and surpass the competition. Take a look at dGPUs, Intel has been getting smashed about by Nvidia for decades and there's a fantastically long history of Intel slowing buying up and killing hundreds of small GPU companies. If I were to pick someone to move into the Modem space and succeed it wouldn't have been Intel.
I would say that it depends. Regular maintenance of course is on the tenant, if the washing machine is not mine and it brakes down I would not repair it without first discussing it with the landlord. If it broke down because of my misuse I'm fine paying, but it is just regular wear why should I ? I'm paying a premium for a furnished house after all.

Of course the best is to make it clear at the moment you rent, not when the issue arise.
