I don't know how this is going to end up. Reddit has always been content-first (like hn) and not people-first (like twitter/Instagram). I don't usually follow people or celebrities on reddit, I'm just lurking and trying to find something interesting on a subreddit I follow. How is this live streaming service gonna appeal to the seemingly introvert reddit userbase?
I LOVE Web2py! I use it for pretty much all of my projects. It is the only Python framework that is super easy to use, has enough "batteries included" but not too much, super simple and super powerful templating, decent migrations, simple data access layer not complicated ORM, no import hell, implicit routing.

Developer has a new effort underway that is a little more "pythonic": https://github.com/web2py/py4web
"once you start measuring nature, rather than the things people make, rational numbers aren't anywhere"

I thought that because nature is made of quantized things, that the opposite is true - all numbers are really rational, and it's irrational numbers that don't exist except in human imagination.

One way to look at why an irrational number cannot describe a physical object-

Suppose you had an object with a variable position in one dimension that could be described with an irrational number. Then that single object can, in principle, store an infinite amount of information in the decimal expansion of that number simply by positioning it and measuring its position.
I learned some basic Pascal in high school. One of my first gigs a bunch of years later introduced me to Delphi, which of course was when RAD (Rapid Application Development) was the new buzz phrase required on the resume.

To me, Delphi was Pascal embracing a few Lisp features. And appearance-wise, it looked like a cross between C and Logo. Pretty wild. Quite slobberproof.

It was a little too verbose for my tastes (although I think most OOP gets that way), but how much you could accomplish without having to continually refer to the manual was quite refreshing. Everything we did in our little shop was constantly being rewritten, so none of us were convinced about the rapid development concept. Rapid getting-to-a-good-mockup for sure, though.

I recall Delphi had garbage collection, but was incredibly bad at it. Kinda like how it is easy to blow the Lisp stack if you don't pay attention to your loops, Delphi seemed to constantly run out of memory, even if the application wasn't particularly extravagant.

Is RAD still a thing? Or is it just assumed in prototyping these days?

EDIT: Trivia - The Greek Delphi was previously known as Pytho. Imagine the name clash that could have created when Python came about.

Worked for me great. The visualization of category purchases is simple and brilliant.
Why would "in debt" be a more desirable condition?

If nothing else, debt free increases your freedom of action. If you're debt free, and you decide that being in debt is better, well, it's really easy to get there. But if you're in debt and decide that debt free is more desirable, getting there is much harder.

1% back using the card?

I make few purchases with less than 3%.

In terms of security, I've had my card cloned. Within minutes the bank locked the account and had a new card shipped. Hardly a big pain point they are solving. And most of us have more than one, so if any of our cards are down, we have others. It's merchants that currently carry the cost of low quality financial instrument standards we have.

For privacy, if I valued it over the $x,xxx I get back every year in the form of cash back, free insurance on rentals, etc, I'd use the most private of all instruments.... Cash.

Pretty mediocre card if you ask me. Of course, the cool factor will make this a success. They only need the right % of the cool crowd to move in on it, and the rest will follow the virality. Oh us humans.

There are so many gaps in our knowledge, it's ridiculous. Go look for papers studying how to kill the eggs of canine roundworms (e.g. in veterinary settings) or whether surgery is an effective treatment for exotropia. The literature is SPARSE.

They aren't nefarious in cartoonish villain type ways, they are nefarious in very boring and predictable human ways. Control over others, greed, politics, laziness, burnout, ignorance, ego and arrogance, narcissism. One of the posters in this thread is trying to handwave it all away "oh we do our best and and the bad stuff if because we are worried about liability". But the problems are much deeper than that and the institution itself is fundamentally flawed to the point that it's generally not a good idea to place yourself or loved ones under the care of a psychiatrist and more of a last resort.
It might ignore the value, but it's not incorrect.

If Chrome is sending to Google every character typed into the URL bar, that's literally a networked keylogger and can presumably be used for all the same nefarious purposes as a "malicious" keylogger. The perceived value this feature provides is meaningless in the context of privacy/security.

I bet all those keypresses are stored permanently, associated with your Google account, but that's another issue altogether.

The biggest challenge about 3D mapping like this isn't about the tech itself, but about actually making it useful for end users. These demos are cool, but the important thing is that you need to build out the part of the software that makes it useful/valuable for consumer/business applications. Otherwise, you should be working on the tech in a research lab vs. a venture-funded business.

This is a trap that even we've admittedly fallen into at times.

Pseudoscience and placebos.

Web2Py is eminently Python 3 compatible these days.

I have used it for largish projects, and consider it very much not awful at all, but I am aware of opinions on the subject often being polarised (Flask creator Armin Ronacher for one has spent a lot of words and energy badmouthing Web2Py - a behaviour I personally find somewhat unbecoming).

For those not caught up in dogma too much: Try it. Got a lot going for it, and the docs are superb.
Not only in the history of money, but in the history of humanity. Think of all the lost prosperity that has been siphoned off since 1971 and the collective rise in living standards people could have afforded.

We are very comfortable as technologists and other high-paying (read: inflationary) professionals, but there is a large class of people who are getting thoroughly shafted by these monetary policies and they are your Uber drivers, the people who work at the coffee store, the factory workers in the midwest, and the homeless. The exponential rise in rents in cities are not a natural consequence of the capitalist marketplace, rather its a consequence of loose monetary policy whereby money has entered real estate markets to gain returns by exploiting ridiculous rents.

https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/

Again, no coincidence that productivity and wage increases started to diverge significantly after the gold standard was abandoned.

Our modern loose monetary policy and inflation targeting is probably the greatest regressionary redistributional scheme in the history of mankind, and will go down in history as such.

What I found interesting:

- No card number

- "At Apple, we firmly believe in your right to privacy. That’s why we created a unique architecture for Apple Card that generates things like your transaction history and spending summaries right in the Wallet app on your iPhone.

Of course, Goldman Sachs will use your data to operate Apple Card. But they will never share or sell your data to third parties for marketing or advertising."

- "Apple will not charge a late fee or apply a new high-interest penalty rate for a missed payment. However, customers will continue to accrue interest on their balance at their regular interest rate. "

- The APRs are still relatively high, when compared to how low other borrowing rates are.

Isn't it a private matter for a woman to decide whether to raise a child or not - regardless of the common good child rearing brings - assuming women raise children is wrong, and sexist too.

There's statutory parental leave to cover pregnancy already.

To mimic your response: men are the ones with the muscles, they are _typically_ stronger therefore we should discriminate.

Seems wrong.

(I'm just returning to my former work as my last child enters institutional schooling, and am male. There's a lot of discrimination here.)
Netflix was the initial leader simply because they started earlier; now that other competitors appeared, they have a vertically integrated platform holding some extremely popular exclusive content (House of Cards, Stranger Things, Casa de Papel). And you're telling me they'd rather become an undifferentiated platform, competing only on the technical merits of their streaming tech (part of which runs on their competitor's machines!) and price?

I'm no business expert, but that doesn't sound likely at all to me. There's a reason why ISPs are always trying to vertically integrate with content production. Moving bits around is a low-margin business.
Maybe there exist an academic equivalent to blackhat PBNs, groups of academic self-referencing in loops to boost their citations. Number of citiations seems like an awful measure for academic contribution.

> Was "asking someone who knows how git works" on your list of things to try?

If I can make an analogy.

There's little love lost on HN for C++. Anytime people mention C++ (possibly even here in this thread) people come out of the woodwork to talk about how hard it is to use, how it has too many features, blah blah.

I work in C++ every day. I don't think it's that hard.

When I have a question, I walk over and ask Chandler Carruth and Richard Smith. They are happy to help me debug my templates. Richard is the editor of the C++ spec, and Chandler is a well-known speaker, look him up on YouTube.

Over lunch we talk about new features of C++, we rant and gripe, and I learn.

Most people do not have Chandler and Richard in their life. Knowing them and the other experts on my team is a huge privilege. So when someone complains that C++ is too hard (wait for it, someone is going to do it here in this very thread...), it would be pretty insensitive of me to tell them that they should just ask someone who knows how C++ works.

Most of us in this thread do have someone in our life who is good at git, who helped us get started, and who saved our asses when we initially got stuck. Maybe that person isn't with us IRL, maybe that person is "just" a message board or IRC channel where we know we're welcome. But this too is a privilege.

If you've ever had trouble with anything and not had someone you could ask -- be it with C++, or real analysis, or whatever -- then I'd say you shouldn't throw stones at someone whose "whatever" happens to be git.
I use it to keep in touch with distant family and friends, and for the messenger, and find your assertion hilarious. Even if the twelve Firefox extensions blocking and sandboxing the hell out of it will somehow fail, so what? A toaster ad will keep following me around for weeks on end, and won't be seen because of ad blocking? Or maybe the very valuable insight that I subscribe and sometimes like my city hall and my local cafe's Facebook page will be used to target me with fascist advertising and bring down our democracy? Give me a break. It's a perfectly acceptable compromise for the marginal convenience of having a bunch of contracts in one place.
Good point

I like to do it early also, to make sure that the new script, if imported from by a sibling module, is inert.

An example would be a scripts/ folder and sharing a few functions between scripts w/o duplicating.

In some cases I don't have a choice. Initialization of a flask app/ORM stuff/etc has to be done in the correct order.

I think the general rule of thumb I follow is: avoiding keeping code that'd "run" in the root level. Keep it in blocks (normally to me functions) has the added effect of labeling what is does.

What I don't do: I don't introduce classes until very late. In hindsight, every time I tried to introduce a complicated object model, I feel I tended to overengineer / encounter YAGNI
Agreed the application process was slick. However, I have a fraud alert so I was expecting a phone call and didn’t get one. I guess I’m okay with that since I had to provide photos of the front and back of my license.

I was less impressed when I wanted to switch to the card for my Apple purchased to get 3% back on my iCloud subscription and I had to manually go into the Wallet app to get the card number, expiration date, and security code and manually copy that all over to the payments section associated with my Apple ID. (Twice actually since I have separate IDs for iTunes and iCloud for historical reasons.)
So MMT says so. So what?

We don't automatically take what every non-mainstream economic theory says as gospel. You need a bit more reason for us to accept this one than "MMT says so".
No. Taxes are not theft. Taxes are payment for services. Failure to pay is theft.
Privacy? It's still a credit card. MasterCard still gets all your purchase data and can do whatever they want with it. Goldman Sachs gets your SSN, credit report, and bank account info.
>For privacy, if I valued it over the $x,xxx I get back every year in the form of cash back, free insurance on rentals, etc, I'd use the most private of all instruments.... Cash.

My guess is that Apple is trying to provide a middle ground between fully private instruments such as cash, with convenience of a credit card.
Its much more privacy focused than your average credit card, while offering the same convenience. The price you pay for the extra privacy is the lack luster rewards.

I've got a similar thing with my postfix setup though. My users can go to their account portal and apply for an alias, which when approved (to avoid taking of important names like postmaster etc.) is added to their otherMailboxes LDAP attribute. They can delete the alias themselves when they're done with it.

I'm tempted to start auto-allowing new aliases and just having a list of names that can't be used (postmaster, webmaster) etc, that some services use for domain ownership verification.

As an aside I do hope qmail offers similar limiting abilities. It wouldn't be great if a user could make themselves receive webmaster@domain.tld emails!
Minimal convulsions happen because they drug the hell out of patients before they are shocked. Otherwise they would be flailing around like a fish out of the water and writhing in pain like they were when they used to do the procedure without anesthesia.

This is not a standard or reasonable treatment for Lyme. Antibiotics will kill it in a standard course. It sucks that you still had issues afterwards. Did they do additional blood tests?
My current hypothesis is that our current culture war is being driven by a lack of accountability. From graft in politics to anonymous bullying online, more and more people are able to get away with worse and worse bad faith behavior for longer and longer.

Creative Coding: Carefully Curated List of Creative Coding Resources
I had a hearty laugh when I saw a seven minute unboxing video for the Apple Card on the front page of reddit. An unboxing video for a credit card that was somehow stretched into 7 minutes. The video included genius quotes such as "it fits into my wallet" and "it's about the same size as my other credit cards". This is the content that somehow got thousands of upvotes.

It's seriously amazing how far the apple fandom has come.

That’s not quite correct, “some marine mammals are known to drink seawater at least on occasion” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-can-sea-mamma...

They do supplement that with water extracted from their food. But unlike humans they are better at expelling salt. “In the seal and sea lion species, for which measurements exist, the animals' urine contains up to two and a half times more salt than seawater does and seven or eight times more salt than their blood.” Human urine on the other hand contains less salt than sea water resulting in dehydration when drinking sea water.
DTAM: Dense tracking and mapping in real-time

> DTAM is a system for real-time camera tracking and reconstruction which relies not on feature extraction but dense, every pixel methods. As a single hand-held RGB camera flies over a static scene, we estimate detailed textured depth maps at selected keyframes to produce a surface patchwork with millions of vertices. We use the hundreds of images available in a video stream to improve the quality of a simple photometric data term, and minimise a global spatially regularised energy functional in a novel non-convex optimisation framework. Interleaved, we track the camera's 6DOF motion precisely by frame-rate whole image alignment against the entire dense model. Our algorithms are highly parallelisable throughout and DTAM achieves real-time performance using current commodity GPU hardware. We demonstrate that a dense model permits superior tracking performance under rapid motion compared to a state of the art method using features; and also show the additional usefulness of the dense model for real-time scene interaction in a physics-enhanced augmented reality application.
