My guess is because phage treatments are difficult or impossible to patent, and therefore unattractive to pharmaceutical companies. And pharmaceutical companies are incentivized to push their own treatments on doctors and hospitals.

You complain about implements that could spread germs about, but also complain about grape shears that prevent everyone digging into the shared grapes with their bare hands.

What actually is the risk of inter person bacterial infection like this? Is there not more risk of getting ecoli from the shared salad, than the shared salad spoon?
On the contrary, Linux distributions ship only OpenJDK.
Did you have a big startup success?
Brass will do quite well and is a lot cheaper.
You initially expressed confusion about the difference between altitude and pressure altitude with your question "Doesn't flying lower make the cabin pressure increase?"

When AWildC182 pointed out your mistake you insisted that the sentence was useless because it was confusing to you. The sentence seems useless to you because you don't have the depth of knowledge to understand it, and instead of putting forth the effort to understand you throw up your hands and declare it a bad sentence.

That pattern happens all the time in software with junior developers. They come in so sure of their abilities that anything they don't understand must be wrong or bad or useless. Your exchange here was the first time I had seen it happen outside of software development and I thought it was interesting, so I commented on it. If you find it insulting to have that behavior pointed out to you I would suggest avoiding the behavior.

As a experienced full stack web developer having 4 years+ experience in multiple technologies,My main experience lies in developing modern web applications,preferably in angular 4 with backend in python mainly.The backend framework can be django,or flask depending upon the client's requirements. Having delivered many projects successfully, I know what it takes to build, lead, grow and maintain a web application
This used to be a problem in 2015.
Fascinating. Glad this guy shared his experience.
I suspect it's 0.3 g of mushrooms, rather than 0.3 g of pure psilocybin.
I can suppose that economic incentives don’t align for its availability in the field but it doesn’t account for the ignorance of the practitioners. Bacteriophages are almost always one of the first things mentioned when the inevitable futility of antibiotics is discussed.

They could have allowed "any" only via TCP. Instead Cloudflare told everyone "our software can't handle any, so yours shouldn't either".
I wish rstudio would render markdown in-line. It also tends to forget graphics in output after many open and closes of rmd.

I’m intrigued by .org mode but as far as I can tell, there are not options for graphical output while editing
The author fails to understand the true purpose of "debugging". It's not about finding and fixing a bad line of code. It is about broadening your understanding of a system and correcting faulty assumptions about how it works. Then applying this greater understanding to a) find and fix issues and b) avoid creating new problems in the future.

Once you have extensive knowledge of how a system works, you can more easily spot incorrect code and are less likely to write it yourself. You should always treat any debugging session as "learning more about the system". If you can't explain to another person _why_ a bug occurred, then you won't be able to convince them that the problem is truly fixed.

The approach you take to learn how the system works is not important, and will vary from person to person. Experienced developers can read code, think about it, and understand what it does. Some people understand control flow through print statements. Some people can fly through with a debugger. Saying someone else's method of study is "wrong" is just silly if in the end they understand how it works.

This article is especially wrong because it makes the assumption that you must step through a program line by line when you use a debugger, which you don't have to do. You can just put breakpoints at the same places where you would have put an equivalent print statement, except now you can inspect _everything_, instead of the one or two things you bothered to print out.
How can a languages and its ecosystem that is being used actively in many projects within ALL Fortune Global 500 company and most Fortune Global 2000 be dying?

When people say Ruby is dying, it would be more accurate to say they are not growing or they are shrinking. But given the size of Ruby marketshare of less than say ~2%. I would not really disagree with their notion.

But Java? I mean even from a Web Development prospective, given you mention Node, JS and Spring Framework, it is Far from dead.

And this is speaking as someone who likes Ruby and dislike Java.
This is a very sad perspective. You have thousands of years of art, history, media, culture to dive into. There are more hobbies out there than you could ever even attempt in your lifetime. There are more regions of the world than you could ever visit, more hikes than you could ever hike. Every day, artists all over the world make entirely new creations the world has never seen before - and there'll be even more tomorrow.

Having your life on autopilot is a choice you make.
I am very sure you are wrong (that, or I'm misunderstanding what you are saying as something more subtle about the account and not about the payment: you definitely can receive payments made by users using credit cards with this rate; it would be entirely useless if that weren't the case, as frankly ACH is too slow to use for a purchase transaction, and I think sane merchants just disable accepting such payments--what PayPal sometimes calls "eChecks"--to avoid confusion).
Could someone who uses it say what this is really for? What can one do with it?

For instance: does it make automating interactions with web sites easier than using other tools?
Not surprisingly someone made a debugger discussion into a dynamic vs static language issue.
"One thing contributing to the rise of antibiotic resistance is poor santitation in developing countries. Another is poverty."

Can you think of another way for an autonomous vehicle to handle a stadium parking lot after a game, or a narrow street with lots of double parked cars after a snowstorm?

These aren’t edge cases they happen all the time and they require something pretty similar to full AI.

I’m not saying there won’t be semi-useful niche cases where “autonomous” vehicles are implemented before that, but “fully autonomous” taxis are like eleven steps away and there are no relevant prototypes at all today for that use case.
Right, I'm sure all of the repeditive HN frontpage content about facebook, tesla, shitcoin, etc is posted "in good faith" and not to accumulate fake internet points.
I didn't assume that dynamic languages are more concise. I only said that each of both (with the addition of interpreted languages) usually require less tooling and less to keep in mind than their respective opposite

How much you need autocomplete and refactoring to be reliable also depends on your situation (language/framework, app structure and number of contributors).

More people use IDEs with dynamic languages because Visual Studio Code now exists so people who always prefered IDEs now have a good option
Nope, I've found the complete opposite. I just love abusing the shit out of my body though. I can't actually remember the last time I tripped without other substance though, usually I'm drinking and using other drugs too.

I definitely take the Hunter S Thompson approach to psychedelics, rather than the Timothy Leary approach.

> No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.
I think it's "worse" than that. Last week, I wrote four classes. They weren't very long. I spent most of the time trawling through libraries I was using trying to figure out how to write those four classes.

But it felt like quite a productive week: they were the "right" four classes, and I could have written a lot more code that did the job less concisely.
reading this comment made me very happy. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors, professor!
I would love to hear the report’s take on what happened. The “and I still love her” epilogue makes me think that she probably has a pretty different take.
As far as I know that does not work on Mac and windows stable and not at all on android.
Bringing a 2mo old baby to the office has great potential to obliterate the productivity of the entire team... I'm really surprised that the management accepted this instead of giving the guy some days off.

This is mandated by law in some EU countries, but I assume the companies don't like it.
In this particular case you should probably implement some logging or alternative output that shows how the rules are being applied. Also perhaps the rules shouldn't be part of the code itself. It would be preferable to be able to add/remove/update a rule without needing to deploy a new version of the program (without going down the rabbit hole of implementing an entire logic engine).
Security is about doubting what you're told, productively. Anyone who tells you otherwise should be doubted-- productively.

If you build security tools, verify that they actually work. If you write exploits, doubt every correctness claim until proven. If you make policy, assume ill intent until proven otherwise. These are the iron rules.

Knowing where to look or to care comes with experience. In the meantime, ask questions.
Intervals, filters, aggregates, and granularities.
I really enjoyed this. Very real.

My immediate thought after reading the thread was that it could have been told as a 300 page novel, and it would have been significantly worse off because of it.
Religion is the way you happen to defend your switch to . NET in every HN thread, even more than I bash C for, and from your story a certain uncertainty regarding what you got on the CV.

CBD: A marijuana miracle or just another health fad?
> there isn’t a whole lot of mindshare going towards java these days. At least in regards to new FOSS projects.

No surprise, Java never had a great standing in FOSS. Most FOSS in java originates from companys or research-projects. Which might be the reason why many data science FOSS-tools these days are written in java. Sometimes I even get the impression apache foundation is now an oracle-sweatshop because of all the java-software they have now.
I work for a company that runs multiple major websites pulling in tens of millions of users a month. We run on Heroku. We made that decision when we didn't have a single user. Right now we're a team with 25 engineers.

Every time we need to re-negotiate our contract with Heroku we ask ourselves whether we should move away from Heroku or not. So far, the answer has always been no. Complexity would go up and the time spent on DevOps would go up. Right now, any idiot can do a deployment, or a rollback. Most of the things we need are taken care off for us by Heroku and it doesn't cost us any effort. We use Heroku Postgres for our database and we get point-in-time restore for free, without doing anything. We can upgrade our database or create a new follower in minutes. It just requires a couple of clicks. On top of that, all the monitoring is taking care of by Heroku. It just gives us a nice dashboard.

As for costs, on an negotiated Enterprise contract, it's not that bad. If we'd move to AWS or DO for example, we might save a little bit, but the extra engineering resources would quickly make those savings useless. Even if it's a bit more expensive to run on Heroku, it's still cheaper than cobbling together all of those features on another platform.

We've made a couple of small engineering investments to get features that Heroku doesn't offer. For example, we built a simple auto-scaler for dyno's that consume from RabbitMQ. This helps a bit to keep our costs down and respond to massive spikes quickly.

We run our web servers, database, caching, data pipeline etc on Heroku. However, we are not _that_ dependent on Heroku. We use Docker for deployments, so we can easily reproduce what's happening and it reduces our vendor lock-in.

I hope this explains a little why some people might choose to stick to Heroku. It works for us, it might not work for you or anyone else.

I missed the part where it says why/how....
> There’s a trade off of course with unnecessary vertical white space in that readability is boosted but the lexer has more characters to ignore

I suspect that the impact on the lexer is negligible.
Seems short on examples, but the general idea feels right. I think I spend a lot of time trying to persuade product owners _not_ to build out crazy new functionality for fear that will just confuse the UI for our existing users or casual new potential users coming for a look.

There's a lot of power in google's original concept of a single text box.

Why port to Core when many libraries still aren't there?

C++/CLI was just one example.

ODP.NET, EF 6 UI designers, WCF, WebForms, Forms/WPF UI designers [0], and plenty of component libraries are still not .NET Core compatible.

You seem really traumatized with whatever happened there regarding jobs.

No job is secure.
Also approximate matching via spectral methods is polynomial. You basically take eigendecomposition of graph adjacency matrix and take inner product of eigenvectors, because spectrum is invariant under permutation of node labels. Works well on noise free and large graphs, because you are unlikely to be unlucky enough to land on isospectral graphs.

> I consider vision to be a drug -- an addiction. People can get into the horrible habbit of depending on their vision instead of on their brain. IMHO looking at things is a tool of last resort. Once you have exhausted every other avenue of diagnosis, and have given very careful thought to just trying to do the action again, then you may need to open your eyes.

Coding without a debugger is like walking with your eyes closed or driving at night with no headlights. Sure, it may be possible, but you are purposefully limiting your information in order to not become "dependant" on something.

Tooling will always be a compromise of utility vs reliance but there is a reason we don't, for example, build cars by hand any more.
I haven't heard of gradient checkpointing yet, thank you for the link! Do you know how it compares to gradient accumulation? The latter basically reduces the batch size, but takes the sum of multiple gradients before actually performing an update, thereby having the same effect as the original batch size.

The generated titles are great! You can put them into hncynic (https://github.com/leod/hncynic) to get closer to a fully generated HN experience.
The orignal document got a lot of coverage on HN, (most of it pretty poor), and those threads were full of people syaing police would welcome this "new" power (it wasn't new, it isn't a power) and make full use of it to prosecute the victims of crime.

Here's the police saying that they don't want it.

one of the life lessons that online games taught me was that when angry or otherwise highly emotional, stop playing and walk away until I am level headed again (no matter how much I think action is needed to fix something). Otherwise, I'll make a series of even more bad decisions.
Thanks! There are some good insights in both of your articles. In particular I realized that I probably started out too basic with Anki. I didn't know what "cloze" type cards were, and they seem to be very useful for a few lists I want to memorize!
Few people appreciate the difference between timezones and their UTC offset at a given date. That's because it's very unattractive to learn about DST. Without that, timezone offsets are relatively stable and it wouldn't matter (in the short term) which one you'd work with.

I'm just glad I don't need to have the "DST" talk more often. It takes people a night of sleep to process the level of time fuckery that is DST. Code reviews get delayed for a day when this happens. So yeah, when somebody refers to EST when they mean EDT I wouldn't give them "the talk". It works because people know what is meant.

Just a few days ago I had the understandable reaction of "what do you mean this won't work in India?"
how does nobody talk about it? It's mentioned fairly regularly by commentators. Less than the italian deficit for sure, but still a well known fact.

If anything, few people mention the dutch trade surplus (I presume because the "netherland is evil!!" narrative is not as common as "german is evil!!").
It would be great to crowd-source data on whether Netflix's audio track matches the subtitles for a particular film. Even when the original audio language and subtitle language match, the subtitles often paraphrase the spoken dialogue, making it difficult to follow along.
Sure, “little” would have been a better term to use but the context of my post was well established. If your only quibble was the use of that solitary word then you’re being pointlessly pedantic.

Companies that just repackage Oracle's work don't count.
"we should be using every tool available to simplify our work, and achieve our tasks more efficiently"

Yep. I advocate for some "micro managing" within a team for this type of stuff (detecting things your people do that you know there are faster ways to do it). Everybody learns from that process.
So better keep up with Java, given the amount of job offers across the globe.

Studies on vaporized marijuana says that are some benefits of that form of application:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4456813/
While not having any research paper to deny nor support thesis about health benefits of vaporizing other herbs it's hard to have strong opinion on that. It's probably safer to avoid it - as you said - not being guinea pig, until there's some paper published.
And third parties that he lost friendship with. It seems like there was a lot of drama at that point that goes further then just having relationship.
We are talking about central London, not Greater London. Greater London is a massive area which has leafy suburbs and wide areas without congestion. Central London is where the worst of the problem is, where we have been discussing, where the congestion charge zone is, and where you (generally) wouldn’t see people commute to by car.

For what it’s worth, part of my commute is via car too. However I do then get the train into central London. So I would still be classed as a driver

> The code itself works very well. Mason, founder of Luakit and most generous contributor, got hit by a bus so new maintainership roles have yet to get filled by existing and new users and developers. All current development takes place outside of "central" repo, and it needs organizing and compiling. Once this takes place, development and merge requests can continue full course.

I actually saved the comment as a placeholder in ZIM[1] - in a section where I keep programs to try in the future. You seem to keep up with the project pretty well and it also looks like the project itself has been moving forward. Going to give it a try this time ("This project could have immense value to the web." - I agree).
