I have one of these shirts (different color) and get favorable comments from LOTR fans periodically who see me wearing it in public. The front just says "Save the Shire", and it only says "Palantir" in smaller lettering on the back.

It's a pretty good shirt, just going by people's reactions to it. I'm just talking about the shirt in isolation though, not in the larger context of what Palantir the company does for their business.

What I'm hearing you say is that the rapid increase in flexibility of choice within the JS ecosystem has a tradeoff of enabling dilettantes to further muddle the mixture.

I would argue that we should not be intentionally relying on technical design decisions to bust through difficulties which are more related to human factors and office politics than software architecture or implementation.

My wife and I did that for 2 years. It works, but like everything, there are trade offs.

It's great that you know your child is being raised by you and your partner. You aren't offloading the child to a babysitter and trusting daycare to raise them with your principles or just to your level of care.

The downside is crossing paths with your spouse in a 5 minute handoff. Rushed dinners to cram in as much adult interaction as you can before you do bedtime or rush to work. There are times when you meet up at a McDonalds to eat and trade cars.

I don't think we would have done it differently, but there were definitely periods of loneliness that both of us felt.
My dad recently bought himself a WH-1000MX3, and after trying it myself, I wound up also buying one. Pairing it with my LG Android phone was no problem, and I'm quite impressed with both the audio quality (wired or Bluetooth) and the noise cancellation. They blow away my old MDR-NC60 set in both categories. Sony knocked it out of the park with this set.

It feels weird to shut them down and remove them in a room with modest background noise and feel, for a few seconds, that the noise is quite loud.

The only nitpick I have is, after reading the legalese, I decided that there was no way in hell I was going to use the Sony Connect app, but the phones sound so good to begin with that it's unnecessary to install it in any case.
If you consider strings as list of characters you can abstract levenshtein to work on any two lists. For example i use this with list of types to provide a hoogle-like search for some programming languages stdlib. Ironically i don't know what hoogle actually uses but i think they atleast considered such an approach.

Thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. The reason why we thought to start with this model is:
1. To make a marketplace - where anyone could become a bather and earn money like uber driver or dog walkers. We also thought it would be easier to scale rather than having vans and having employee power - this would be a traditional business model and would give limit on the number of dogs to wash per day, not to mention the route management.
2. To utilize the self-wash stations around where people usually go and wash their dogs themselves.

Regarding dognapping - we will be screening the bathers before referring them to customers.

What do you think about pricing? What other concerns you would worry about? If you are a dog-owner, would you use it?

Thank you!
You missed my point. I have lived in Indonesia and traveled there a lot. The example is from book by Elisabeth Pisani [1].

My whole point is that you can still find places where living in preindustrial capitalism is fairly easy due to abundance of Nature. There were many more places like this ages ago maybe not like this particular example but without much hardship. Mediterraneans comes to mind. Thats it.

> Roomba’s are very good at what they do.

I'm not sure you've ever owned a Roomba. In theory they work great. In practice, there's always something on the floor they get tangled in, there's that one couch they're just small enough to fit under but not escape from, or there's that one corner of death in your room they inevitably get into and become trapped. And sometimes, even when everything is absolutely perfect, one of the sensors decides it's stuck an so the thing just backs up in circles indefinitely in an otherwise-ideal empty room.

I've owned two Roombas and both were somehow more work than just sweeping or vacuuming.
To be fair, 90% of the time i see people recommend JWT for auth, it's a session token inside a jwt in a cookie, which then gets decoded and checked against the db in the backend
You need to prioritize the work and make sure it's worked in the desired priority order. If these edge cases are things they discovered while developing the primary work, they need to queue it up in the backlog and figure out the right priority, not run down a rabbit hole. If these "edge cases" are known up front, you should have given them priorities and if they aren't important, they shouldn't even have started on them.
Thank you so much! will fix that :)

That costs extra money. If he were to do that, that money would come directly out of his ability to provide for his family.

I was once asked in an interview how I'd find a row in a relational database where the value in one column was the shortest levenshtein distance away from a search key, and I was absolutely stumped when I realized I didn't really know a sort/search that optimized that way. Of course, by the time I realized I could email the interviewer for the answer an awkward amount of time had passed.

So now I ask HN: is there any "good" way to do this short of some kind of answer like "find a database that natively offers levenshtein distance search"? Are there actually sorting algorithms for sorting by levenshtein distance (other than just using L as a sort function in a traditional sort function)? Are there search algorithms that work well for searching by L distance?

I understand where you're coming from. I think saying it's evil and holding privacy for ransom is inaccurate though. The goal of this is to give individual developers leverage to charge companies who profit from their work. People who wish to use your package for free and do it completely privately can still download your source code and run it. Scarf doesn't take away anyone's ability to do anything. It aims to augment existing software by offering a path for easy installation with telemetry and payments set up already. Nothing gets baked into the software, it's all at the distribution level.

So what? Do people who don't speak English have less claim to representation in the national government?

Yes, it is. Statehood has won by the terms of the last two status referenda.

It's true that they were boycotted by some anti-statehood groups, who thought the choices were framed optimally, but when people choose not to vote because they don't like the available options, we don't say that the resulting winner didn't win.

Probably most impact is buying some square meters of rainforest. There are many NGOs which organize such attempts. This is probably much more helpful then putting another tree in your backyard.
well, yes, unless after hard day of work, you have more work waiting or, you go to bed worrying if weather will kill your crops, or will you be able to sell them, etc. Farming in particular is much more like running a startup, then it is like office work, where the risk of running business is someone else's problem, and you get your salary at the end of the month no matter what.

It sounds like you would be interested in the book / course '7 Sketches in Compositionality' by David Spivak and Brendan Fong, which studies precisely those ideas categorically, with a particular focus on systems that you might broadly call 'computational': http://math.mit.edu/~dspivak/teaching/sp18/

It has been discussed on Hacker News at least a couple of times previously -- fairly recently, even. You might be interested to look at these discussions:

Edit to add:

You might also be interested to learn that categorical approaches to linguistics typically take as their starting point monoidal categories, in which there are notions of 'parallel' as well as 'sequential' composition. It turns out that the usual categorical semantics for linguistics shares a lot with the categorical semantics for quantum mechanics: roughly, meanings are vectors, like quantum states. You can read more about doing (finite-dimensional) quantum mechanics entirely using string diagrams (the formal diagrammatic calculus of monoidal categories) in the work of Bob Coecke, who also played a large part in originating these approaches to linguistics.

For example, on the quantum side, an excellent book is 'Picturing Quantum Processes' [0]. And on the linguistics side, the paper linked in the article is a good start: https://arxiv.org/abs/1003.4394

[0] Not freely available, but some slides are at https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ss2014/programme/Bob.pdf

Edit, again:

There is also of course Bartosz Milewski's book / blog series 'Category Theory for Programmers', which introduces category theory from the perspective of Haskell and C++ programming: https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-p...

But the best introduction to category theory I have read is Leinster's book, 'Basic Category Theory': https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.09375

And as you might have guessed, I do agree with your statement!
Thanks for pointing this out. I had actually read [2] and I think just assumed that's what 'the most used simulator' would be doing :\ Can you suggest a better alternative? (I can re-implement the paper, but I'd rather just use a known gold standard). Also the source image is there, in case you have a simulator you can run it through and post the results.
> That means we have to double our sales to make up for it.

I don't agree. You need enough money to pay an artist, but you don't need to give the artist a 50% cut of your studio!

Full Disclosure: I personally think the art is bad, but I see the retro appeal. The mismatching styles and low quality definitely is reminiscent of old D&D manuals which had monsters drawn by Gary Gygax himself... and which looked really bad too.
I don't know if they are unnecessary, but they do not require me to be in the office. I usually end up reading up on things, or responding to emails when I am in those latter 4 hours. Those tasks can be done just as effectively at home.
An incredibly good point is made by a user on Twitter that I hope is taken to heart by Jeff.

A better quality visual experience could be delivered at near zero additional cost / complexity with basic technical hacks - eg faux shading / lighting - see the before / after below:

https://twitter.com/RavenmoreArt/status/1164447066300588033

Feels like Jeff would benefit from a consultation with a technical art director or similar.

Every point he makes about economy, style, preference would still stand but could also address a considerable amount of the visual criticism (and hence, lost sales opportunities)
There's a difference between supporting law enforcement generally and supporting specific law enforcement efforts. I personally want my local law enforcement to be fast and effective because I want them to keep me safe from crime, but I don't want them to violate my or other people's rights in the process of keeping me safe from crime. So, in that vein, I might not object to police gaining a specific new tool but I would object if I found out that the police were misusing it somehow.

The employees objecting to Palantir's work with ICE are probably not objecting to cooperation with border enforcement on the principle that border enforcement is immoral generally, but that recent activities by border enforcement are immoral. If it weren't for the internment camps at the border, we probably wouldn't be hearing about this.

There's a broader discussion about the 4th ammendment and Palantir's effect there, but I don't think that this particular protest is about that.

I personally vote for seeing if you can patch TQFTs to be more Bohmian, and thus introduce non-local variables.

It's not a given though I imagine. For audio for example you could discard inaudible parts of the spectrum and compress the rest losslessly. In this case only the first round is lossy and it doesn't degrade over time. But I'm not sure the same exists for images.
How about finding triples a<b<c<30 of pairwise relatively prime integers such that the sum of their cubes is a perfect cube?

I'd have to ask why you'd want to do that, it seems more like the problem was fit to the solution you wanted to write rather than to fulfill some piratical purpose. I'm not going to contest that there's a lot of business logic that gets more complicated than that, but they are not described so mathematically elegantly. There's no way you could tell what your code does, or why, without a comment at the top describing why. And you can do that with your example. But real business logic comes from the fact that Bob in accounting entered the wrong job codes for two months, but they can't be changed because they've already been archived, and Karen in sales told one of her customers the job code would default to the wrong value if they entered 42 as the compliance code, then the CEO said we should make that the default from now on, but we realized 2 years later that it messed some other stuff up and our manager had it changed without telling anyone, but Frank the DBA already added a flag for that, but it stopped getting updated when he left 6 months ago.

In those real world situations, I doubt anyone would question that very long winded individual statements with a description for each one is way more easy to understand what's going on rather than the most concise code possible.

>To learn the basic math (single, multivariable calculus, linear algebra) will probably take you 300 hours of serious study if you don’t already know any of it.

Frankly, compared to many other disciplines, that's pretty light. Single variable calculus, linear algebra and probability were all required in my undergrad CS curriculum. Multivariable calculus was the only extra course. And if you're in most engineering disciplines, all of this is required.

I'm guessing the difference for CS folks is that they rarely use this stuff in the curriculum, whereas in most engineering programs, you'll use calculus day and night.[0] So for someone like me (engineering background), it was easy to dive into even years out of school as I'd not forgotten a lot of math.

Now of course, if you want to get deep into ML, there's a lot more math than that. However, most successful people using ML do not need to know that math.

And compared to other disciplines like control theory, communications theory, etc, the prerequisites for ML are a lot lighter.

Why have those protections in the Presidency though who is the face of America. Low population states (more accurate than saying the EC favors small states really) already have an even more disproportional impact in the Senate where 40 Senators representing just 38.4M people can completely control the laws that get passed via filabuster (lowest 20 population states + 1 to prevent cloture). That's a little of 10% over the population that can in theory decide 100% what can get passed in the US. (Granted the 20 lowest population states do include a few democratic states, but it is largely consistently republican states)

Yesterday I was driving and had Google maps directions on audio. For the first time, one instruction said: "In 300 feet, make a right at the In and Out Burger." It's the first time I heard a business name in the directions. The interesting thing is that this was making a right onto a freeway, and on the corner was the back of a large strip mall. There could have been 4-5 other business names it could have said.
