Python has API that allows you to replace parts of import system with arbitrary Python code.
Yeah definitely, it's amazing for scratching together ideas. Though at a certain scale, it starts to feel pretty fragile. I don't have much experience with other languages but the explicit interface/implementation paradigm that Objective C used was so amazing to me (as someone who started out in JS). I find myself missing it every now and then, especially for large projects.
If you're only brewing for yourself, and you like your coffee strong, I'd suggest trying a moka pot. They have no plastic except on the exterior, and have been shown to extract the highest levels of antioxidants compared to other common brewing methods.
I presume it's also to keep out subversive foreign agents. And reporters. And people whose mere presence is suggestive of Western capitalism and therefore subversive. Something like that.
Maybe you can only understand it if you read Italian. I found the english version of the page much more useful than the Google Translate version.
You dramatically overestimate how much of an economic difference there is between MD and WV: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vwpy8_glsgc/Vi5llZ9ZILI/AAAAAAAAI.... Adjusting for purchasing power, the difference in median income is just 10%. It’s like the difference between Belgium and Australia.

On the flip side, there is actually quite a difference between states like New York (second poorest in the US) and Virginia. And there is a very large internal migration from states like New York to states like virginia.
When I seach for "single-celled protein" I don't see any scientific papers on the first page, and the first two hits are this very discussion. Suggesting that if the phrase is really by scientists, it's used so very rarely that it's a mistake, just like it is here.
I think this is the correct approach.

The full-stack hacker building the MVP is the lead technical guy in the first stage of the company when formal titles have yet to be defined.

That person should probably become CTO in the next stage, unless he/she is just plain lacking/disinterested on the vision front and wants to remain involved in the minute details of the product (which is not uncommon in my experience).

When they become CTO, a VP Eng should be hired to take the MVP to the next level in terms of process, security, and scalability.

Assuming they remain an individual contributor (the "not uncommon" scenario I refer to above)... well that means the organization might have two vacancies going forward to fill instead of one.
West Virginia is being emptied, however, with a net loss of population over time. People do leave bad economic areas for good ones over time.

People don’t move to Washington from Oregon because their jobs are in Oregon and they would be subject to income taxes anyways. Really not smart if you work in Vancouver WA to live in Portland, however (income taxes are an or proposition).

However, I totally agree. Contrast this to China’s hukou system, where you can be a foreigner in your own country because you live in a city without hukou, even if you were born there.
It's converting numbers to floats and deleting additional precision.

There are a few features that can cut out a ton of unnecessary whitespace, like keeping short lists and maps on a single line, and keeping singleton list brackets tight.
It is worth pointing out the David versus two Goliaths situation here.

AMD 10K employees and a $1 billion annual R&D budget.

Intel 100K employees (including 10K just in software) and $20 billion R&D.

Nvidia 11K employees and $2 billion R&D budget.

AMD CPUs now surpass Intel and their GPUs are competitive with Nvidia except at the high end.

It is you who are refusing to accept reality.

The State of Hawaii is fictitious and one simply has to sneeze to bring the facade crashing down. Ke'eaumoku Kapu has demonstrated this by occupying the Kuleana lands. If the false narrative of Hawaii's annexation and statehood were true, the Royal Land Commission Awards would be void. Ke'eaumoku Kapu and his students would have been arrested for trespassing and destroying private property. Instead, they've displaced the foreigners to whom the lands were fraudulently sold and started growing food and restoring the water supply. Last time I checked with him in May he had settled 5 or 6 cases and was still working reclaim more lands. This is happening in 2019.

Feel free to stick your head in the sand and believe the lies, but I promise if you watch carefully enough what is happening in and around Hawaii, you will know that Hawaii is a sovereign state, not a U.S. state.
"do you have a source for that?", especially when phrased that way, is a statement made in bad faith, because it indicates that you believe that there's a chance the statement is unsourced (as opposed to "can you please cite this?").

Exactly. Remember in 2010 before grunt a lot of us were using maven to build single page JavaScript apps? That was pretty funny in retrospect :-) The creator of angular created the precursor to the karma test runner, called jstestdriver, which was a maven plugin ;-) It worked though! We built a single page app with tdd using it at Autodesk.
"President of Product" is somewhat idiosyncratic to Google - I don't know any other company with that particular title.

The etymology, I think, is specific to some quirks in corporate law, which still has some anachronisms from the 1600s. When you form a new organization, there are 3 positions that are assumed to exist: President (overall leader), Treasurer (responsible for keeping the books & finances), and Secretary (responsible for writing down meeting minutes). These are enshrined in corporate law, so when you form a new corporation, the bylaws need to specify holders for these offices (it's common for the founder to hold all 3, or to split them up among founders). The idea of a corporation in the 1600s didn't really envision today's massive multinational tech companies, so the actual org structure departs fairly significantly from these "official" offices.

There's a rough correspondence that's developed though: President = CEO, and Treasurer = CFO, and Secretary = whoever's keeping the minutes. Sometimes you'll see this in official titles, as "President and CEO of X". Sometimes - particularly when you have a visionary CEO who needs a strong operational COO - the President title will be assigned to the COO. This is Gwynne Shotwell's title at SpaceX, and is a strong indication that actual operational leadership of the organization rests with the COO. A "Vice President", by analogy, is someone who helps out the President with the details of their duties. In the U.S. government there's only one Vice President, but many corporations have dozens.

Google's tripartite leadership, with Eric as President & CEO, Larry as President of Product, and Sergey as President of Technology, was a way of showing that all 3 of them were in charge, and actual leadership rested with the triumvirate. If Larry had been VP of Product (a title actually held by Jonathan Rosenberg), it would've put him subservient to Eric, which is not how Google's leadership was actually structured.

The reason most companies don't do this is that it's usually a really bad idea: having multiple bosses typically results in the destruction of the organization. Google could get away with it because they were so far ahead of the competitors and so profitable that having Larry & Sergey running around sponsoring crazy innovative products did not seriously impede the running of its normal business. It also speaks extremely well to the working relationship among the triumvirate, and Eric's humility in leadership.
God, this site is awful on mobile. Why on Earth would you think that I want the title of the current paragraph take up half of my screen from the top??
Well, if they made the batteries easily replaceable without the device having to go to service they would not have this many issues. Of course their replacement batteries would need to be reasonably priced...
A feature idea, I think it could be great to track the moods of a whole organization. HR could see the results and could see or not, each individual mood.
Since 'hsikka is here in the thread - wondering if you can clear up a question that I have from your article.

In the FastAI course, they use the descending limb of the one-cycle curve to set learning rate cutoffs. So I was expecting to see your final model fit with learning rates between ~3e-4 and ~5e-2. However, you used 1e-6 and 1e-4, basically on the flat portion of the curve. That seemed to work just fine for you.

Am I correct that you didn't follow the standard recommendations for the learning rate from one-cycle, or is there some mismatch with the figure?
Uhm, no: if you try to cross the border in they will shoot you just the same.
Rokosbasilisk is what I mean. I suggest not googling that, down voters go ahead
Indeed, that “hovering near zero” voting effect is just-as-often because the folks around here will downvote arguments they agree with, just because they don’t like seeing such things on HN. Which I find lovely, personally.
Wanting to repair comes from the thing that iPhone is sold to the user. If US were to pass the right to repair law, will it be possible for apple to stop selling the device and start renting it and circumvent the law? Like, You can rent the iPhone for 3-4 years for $1200 and should return it.
Mostly focused on the old, incumbent firms like Halliburton.

I think you're mixing up travel without a hassle which everybody likes to exist, with open borders which is a way more complex idea. EU is not an open-border place, I, for example, has to obtain visa to enter it.

I really love running gitlab on premise and I really love their CI/CD etc, but these kind of posts don’t do their great product any favor.

They should put that kind of energy into creating teaching content.
All roads lead to Azure. Github's user base is far bigger than Azure's user base, and Microsoft wants to eventually get as many people as possible buying IaaS (or equivalents).

The next logical step after Github Actions for CI/CD is to offer Github as a place to run the production code too. You would be buying Azure with fewer steps. It's pretty arbitrary that we develop code in one place while then going off and using a separate suite of tools and processes to run it. Having a suite for everything in one place could be very appealing to the market.
And isotropy of the universe. Okay that only helps on the really large and really small scale
But the fact that regular Newtonian physics works so well is because it's aggregated over so many particles, we are so far from the froth of the quantum world, that when designing a bridge, we can assume things, and those assumptions will be valid almost everywhere.

There's no need for correcting for local variations that are needed in econ. Or from a different perspective the fact that we have simple laws in physics, and chemistry, and engieering, is because we are only considering/using a _very_ limited part of the whole universe.

The classic CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O is a gross oversimplification, because there are a few dozen other things going on at the same time, and NASA/SpaceX/BlueOrigin has to consider those when they burn in an athmosphere. But since we rarely encounter these problems we don't often find ourselves lacking enough data to fit a better theory. (But of course that's what's happening in post standard model physics, or in cosmology, or in trying to design fusion plants, we are very early in magnetohydrodynamics, and even designing a better corrosion resistant material for use in molten salt reactors is a challenge.)

So, just as we have models for ant ecologies we have for economics of states/countries, but just as neuroscientists have trouble figuring out how exactly an ant works and when does what and where ants will go to forage next economists have trouble predicting when the next crash will happen. (See also bee hive collapse syndrome, we still don't know what causes it, yet there's a lot of hives and we could even do experiments with them easily.)
Hey now, ARM managed to keep their "R".
FYI, Hacker News has an API: https://github.com/HackerNews/API
That's because there's three or four orders of magnitude more JS code out in the wild, then there is Lisp code.
Exploiting the known demographic bias of tech (and thus hackernews) to post a story that has nothing to do with tech and everything to do with the political dogfighting in the US knowing that it will go to the top is kind of pathetic.
In Russia you can take a tour boat to St Petersburg from Finland and they let you in for 3 days no problem.

True of many countries that accept cruises. I think cruise ship may be a good way to get into a country without trying to get a visa.
> I'm not saying HN should allow ALL political discussion, but when technological issues inevitably and undeniably involve politics, either by influencing or being influenced, it seems a little cowardly that the general attitude of HN is "just don't discuss it" when the it in that case is core to the issue at hand, even if it happens to be political.

HN allows (and frequently features) political discussion in those contexts, so while I agree that it would be a problem if your description was accurate, I can't agree that the description is accurate.
That’s awesome! I’ve always been a big fan of GitLab CI but I’ll have to take a look at this and see how it stacks up. Competition has proven to be good for the market of Git hosting platforms.
It was used as an argument for Brexit in our referendum. I'm not sure that was the real reason for the agitators though.

The two examples you gave don't prove your point. If you want to play those games at a high level, you need a good account with access to the good game pieces. Technically, you can acquire those pieces entirely for free by investing lots of time into the games (something that's entirely impossible with paper M:tG). This is literally the same as saying "to play high level Magic you need to have a good deck, but that's just the cost of playing the game".

If Magic =/= pay-to-win then neither do those 2 specific examples you just gave.

I don't believe there is a competitive (read: >2 players) game that is "pay-to-win" if you feel that magic isn't pay-to-win
Being welcomed to visit for leisure or business is very, very different than "open borders"
> How are the movie theaters supposed to undercut somebody who is deliberately losing money on every transaction, without driving themselves out of business?

Patience. Someone deliberately loosing money on every transaction will go out of business very quickly.

(And, apparently this is what happened to Moviepass.)

Remember, Moviepass bought the tickets from the theaters, so it's not like the theaters lost money waiting for Moviepass to go out of business.
They're just trying to onion route their support so upper management doesn't catch on.

Needs more layers I think.
On your isolation point, I think the modern walled gardens that people use to interact online are so stale and devoid of meaningful interaction that not much "mind opening diversity" actually occurs. I think this is a design problem and not a technological problem.
Same as what you have to use in gitlab, for what that's worth. But it is interesting that their existing "main.workflow" file is in a different syntax.

Ahh, now I see, support for the main.workflow syntax will be removed, and you must migrate:

It's difficult to express how profoundly misapprehended your comparisons are.

Moving into a higher-income area is the last thing poor rural Americans want - and the last thing that would help them. They are already living in high assistance areas - the area assisted by the United State federal government.

People invading the US are not looking to be in a high-income area, because that implies a higher cost of living. They are looking to be in a high-assistance area. They are not looking to make money, and have little prospect of that. They are looking to be given money.

That must be taken from someone else.
Black markets exist because demand for a good or service is there despite the effort of those in power to control the supply. This is how the world works.

Smart folks don't just accept arbitrary and capricious rules that in practice cause more harm than good. Wise people work to change the rules in such cases. That's what they're trying to do in Luxembourg.

The chicken/egg problem is satiety, not weight. Being fat messes up many small feedback loops, some of which are related to satiety, energy expended, exercise, inflammation or mood.

Breaking those circles is not easy at all. It's closer to rehabilitation and a long process.

Of course reducing intake is a main goal, but then keeping it low is as important.
I'm having flashbacks to questionable product decisions made at work from blindly following multivariate testing results.
That's for traveling, and the same currency is quite nice, especially when visiting multiple places in one trip.

But the possibility of moving permanently (or to study at the university) to another country without needing a visa, well, that's a game changer. Not to mention the agreements between European countries (e.g. If you move, there's no need to change your driving license)
The problem wasn't the existence of the call center, but that it has been utterly crappified. First by a frustrating voice-interactive system that insists you figure out that you need to say you want to "track" a package (if I wanted to track a package, I'd go to the website!). Then secondly by a human-voiced robot that can only repeat the same unhelpful options you can access through other mechanized means.

The issue with the overnight was that I missed the delivery because I didn't even know it was coming (I actually didn't explicitly order it...). The last time this happened (years ago) I was able to call the phone number, hit 0, describe the situation to a person, and they'd swing back around. This time I was speaking to a droid who told me my only options were to redeliver Monday or pick it up at the depot during a one hour window on Monday. I argued enough that he left a message for the depot to call me to arrange a time outside of that one hour window. When the depot called me back they communicated as a human, and agreed to simply swing back around - the level of service that I'd expect for an overnight.

(I originally left the exact situation out, to avoid the inevitable "reDeLiVerINg iSN't iN tHEiR CoNTRacT!@!!" simplistic-myopic bullshit.)
Thanks, this looks really cool!

Would I be able to write in it offline too?
You can use Automator to create a service with a shell script action; just pick Quick Action, the rest should be pretty obvious.
Well I all the economy is represented by a dollar and I have the dollar I own everything. If the gov prints another dollar I've now become 50% poorer. The government essentially has taken my money. Same thing happens here. If the government prints 200 million anyone with RMB in saving will get substantially poorer and good all get more expensive.
While it’s true it was upgraded to class B somewhat absurdly and has theoretical significant penalties for use, the reality is police simply don’t really pay attention to individual use and the law is not really enforced to that extent against individual users. You’d have to be staggeringly unlucky to see jail time for simply smoking a joint in the UK, something reflected in the large drop in convictions etc even after the status change.

Is it an option to take a "chill" job and take a break from climbing the ladder? Programmers are in such high demand, there are places where you can go and clock out at 5pm, take an hour for lunch and never take your work with you...as long as you're ok taking a pay cut.
That's just a result of me having been working with the same tech for a long time. When I was starting out with Clojure it was a lot more niche than it is now, and finding jobs was much harder. The whole reason I published a book was due to lack of beginner resources being available. So I don't think there's anything special about me, it's just that I was stubborn about wanting to work with Clojure and didn't get dissuaded until I made that a reality.

We have local Clojure meetup in town, and when I first started going there pretty much everybody was using Clojure as a hobby. Today, we have a bunch of companies using it in production, and all of them are actively hiring. The last three coop students I had all ended up getting Clojure jobs. I imagine this varies based on where you live of course, but another option is to simply introduce Clojure at a place that's using something else. That's where Clojure jobs come from in the first place at the end of the day.
> You, and only you should be in charge of when you use your phone.

Life happens. Your wife falls and breaks her wrist. Your mom has a heart attack. They want you now, not when you deign to look at your communications. And until you do look, you won't know if it's that she broke her wrist or that she had a heart attack.

If you are disconnected enough from other people that nobody has a valid demand on your attention, then you're part of the problem of social disconnection.
> There's a time and place for humane arguments and, in the absence of complete "data" (whatever THAT means), that may be all you have.

I'm trying to be charitable here, but it's difficult not to conclude that you're setting up the data as never being sufficient e.g. "whatever THAT means" in order to support humane arguments over data based arguments.
