They do seem to have a bit of a mismatch between what they say and what they do. They wanted to be the non-profit benefiting humanity with their advanced research, but had to raise money because that wasn't working. And now they claim to have these impressive models, but also claim it's not safe to release them to the public. Okay, so what exactly are you developing that's good for anybody?
I'm sure this was asked in good faith. Increasingly, it seems like this question is not, however. It feels like this dead horse has been beaten into a pulp. Looking only at the government side of the ledger, and ignoring the private-sector savings at this point in time, when there's so much talk about public healthcare, seems willfully obtuse.

The U.S. already spends more on healthcare (by pretty much every measure) than every other developed nation on the planet. Much of this goes to profits of insurance companies, the overhead of having so many parties involved, advertising budgets, etc. Raising taxes to pay for healthcare should result in a net savings for virtually everyone, as these profit-seeking activities are eliminated. The only real debate taking place among economists w/r/t cost is how much of a savings we'll get by moving to a single payer plan.
I think there are good parts of Twitter. But it's also very easy to be a part of outrage-driven discussion.

I liked this suggestion that one way to reduce outrage is to reveal the complexity of what's going on.

> At this point any such site that you want universally accessible should be refactored into a true standards compatible website.

That logic could be used to magic anyway any need for IE Mode for anyone. Why even take part in this discussion if you dismiss the need for the very thing we're discussing? Seems fruitless.

I honestly have no interest in discussing the merits of IE Mode conceptually. I am talking about the implementation from the point of it existing on-wards. You're welcome to find someone else to argue this with however.

You can also use it to just get a general sense of what someone is. There are a lot of stats related to various professions. It gives an idea of your likely background and what not. It's a good jumping off question because choice of career can be the biggest decision someone makes and seeing how someone came to such a decision can be very insightful to the type of person they are.

If I ask that question and someone says something like that (or similar avoidance stance) then I know they're very likely insecure or uncomfortable talking about their choice of work. You can read into that a lot to get various ideas but I like to use such things to put together a whole picture of a person.

I, personally, like the question.
Death within one year on HN
I started working with Django when it was pre 1.0 (0.96), as it was explicit in nature compared to Ruby on rails in 2003-4. Subsequently I tried flask and recently async framework. Our team still use flask just for one reason, it's a thin layer over wsgi making it easier and once application or service grows it can disappear completely.

So it has right level of abstraction making it between a library and framework and you can use it either as library or framework. The difference is "framwwork calls your code" and "your code calls library code". I like the second paradigm more.

In order to make job very easy to develop there are excellent libraries so I have used flask, sqlalchemy (direct no flasl-sqlalchemy), alembic, marshmallow, celery, machine learning libraries (sci-kit, tensorflow, keras) and few more.

For development use cherrypy to graft wsgi app and for production use gunicorn or uwsgi. Our team is extremely happy and our test coverage is 98% as we use code as libraries not asnframework, so it makes it easy to test rest API and celery task code.

Also when needed for performance (not often as most libraries are better tested and designed), did take away the library abstraction and write our own code.
Thanks! I had to update it for the most recent update (it had no concept of rational bezier curves) so hopefully I can update its API page soon with a short bit on how to specify curve ratios and have that be available to everyone, too.

I see the role of a manager to guide and help people, someone with just good technical skills should be an architect , an expert or technical lead. I know a lot or organizations don’t make that distinction, but I also made a conscious choices to avoid these companies.

Then anyone managing a team with objectives should understand pretty fast that to reach them and get credits among their peers each person on the team needs to know the metrics, how they work, and what they should do to make them happen.

That’s great if like you each member puts itself in the manager’s shoes, but I personally think anyone who doesn’t understand they should be transparent with their team on their needs shouldn’t be manager in the first place.

Why is that the same as 'giving up'? I call it a better hypothesis. It's like saying there is a halting problem and there are problems that are fundamentally unsolvable by computers. If true, it's pointless trying to create an algorithm to solve the halting problem. Instead, perhaps the mind is a halting oracle, and we can progress even further in the sciences by that realization.
I would say it depends on how one might want to handle it, like when you create an item_t you set next_free = -1 as a flag to indicate that it is not free. And have bulk_data_t's 0th position's next_free be 0.

I constantly add new sections. I might not be "every week" or even "every month", but if the last time you saw it was 2017, there's a whole lot of content that you haven't seen before.

This is a living online book, and there's more to write on the subject. Every time you see a link for it on HN, it's probably because I wrote a new section, and a lot of people discover the internet that weren't on it one or two years ago. This content is evergreen =)
I cannot see how it is anything other than ally. Biggest complaint about solar for utilities is that it needs some offset to match peaks. That is accomplished with batteries.

Generally, batteries compete with the power sources that can be turned on and off quickly with control to meet spiky demand. Solar doesn't produce power at the whims of the operators and is not in that category.
Hey, if materialism cannot explain reality, then why stick with a bad hypothesis? Sticking your fingers in your ears and calling any alternative 'lala-land' sounds pretty anti-intellectual.

I have had the opposite experience personally. Any non-trivial application I've deployed has been a lot more complicated with PHP than anything I ever experienced with Python.

Asyncio really makes a difference here. I also hate that PHP has to spin up with every single request. This is something I have never gotten used to (From my understanding, most Python web frameworks just give you a clear/fresh Request Object, which is so much better even with WSGI (unless you're using WSGI scripts) Much easier to maintain application state this way in my experience. PHP-FPM doesn't exactly solve this problem, I don't think).
Csteubs is correct - there was no implication of foul play in the original post. Typically when there's an article about a business dispute like this, you would expect the article to include relevant information about overlapping business interests, so I added that for context.
I clicked the link to download the report. The disclosure you have to agree to is very interesting:

>Prior to the initial distribution of this Report on August 15, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party entity to review an advanced copy of the Report in exchange for later-provided compensation. That compensation is based on a percentage of the profits resulting from the third-party entity’s positions in the securities, derivatives, and other financial instruments of, and/or relating to, General Electric Company (“GE”) (NYSE: GE). Those positions taken by the third-party entity are designed to generate profits should the price of GE securities decrease.

So there exists a class of professional services designed to temporarily crash stock prices to make short sellers money? Curious.

Back in the day IBM ran a "System on Chip" factory based on PowerPC that gave us the Bluegene/L supercomputer, the GameCube/Wii/Wii U, the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. All of these combined one or more cores, coprocessors and tweaks to hold its own against x86.

RISC-V is meant to be used like that, but memory management support is not yet finalized. They are sampling prototype RISC-V chips with an MMU you can put in a dev box to develop Linux on. Other than that you are not using Linux or Windows.

If you think mainstream OS is bloated, then RISC-V has your number. If you want very low cost it would be exciting to cut RISC-V down to have fewer and less wide registers. The other day I saw an article about a guy who wants to build RISC-V out of vacuum tubes and thought... 'cripes with all of those wide registers it is a lot of tubes.

POWER is good-to-go right now for high end applications and can stay relevant against ARM and x86 by staying open.

I'm not disagreeing that it's your responsibility to not crash, but as noted farther up - people hit wildlife all the time.

It's pretty rare for somebody who hits a deer to be charged with reckless driving, so it's not like there is actually an absolute responsibility to never out drive your headlights.

Besides the legal aspects, anyone riding a bike after dark without any illumination is being irresponsible. Whether the car is at fault or not, it's not going to be the guy in the car who dies from it.
Not sure about parent commenter, but it's not that uncommon in ethical theories. A good example is Act Utilitarianism, which holds that the moral value of an act is solely based on its consequences, specifically its increase on net happiness (how to quantify that, of course, is the big problem).

Thus, a scenario could be developed, however unlikely, in which any particular action would be moral or immoral if the world was defined so that it would increase or decrease net happiness. For example, suppose we knew with certainty that one of three individuals halfway around the world was about to initiate a nuclear launch, but we had no reasonable way to find out which in the next few seconds. AU would clearly support launching a drone strike against all three--against the human right of due process--we would make two families sad, but certainly prevent millions of people around the world from being very sad.

Human rights are a fundamentally deontologist concept (as opposed to Utilitarianism, which is a consequentialist theory), basing the morality of an action on its compliance with certain standards and not on its consequences. For example, you might argue that someone has an inherent/inalienable right to do X, even though it would cause great harm or make many people unhappy. For example, you might argue someone had the right to publish classified information that would almost certainly lead to the start of a war.

Also, you say that human rights are a human inventions--some philosophers would argue that they are inherent (either from god(s), by virtue of reason, or some other external source). This is the position the US Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence take, informed by the Enlightenment tradition. They claim that certain rights are not granted by the government or society but intrinsically exist and thus must not be infringed (taking a Deist position, they cite a generic "Creator" as their source). A consequentialist could support a lesser, human-sourced set of rights that made a general rule, but not an inviolable one.

People have said GE's numbers have been suspect since at least Jack Welch's days of year after year profit growth. But this looks kind of weasely.
Just speaking for me, what I like about work is that I'm doing important things for other people. Things that actually matter.

Society is built on division of labor. I enjoy the fruits of so many people's labor in uncountable ways all day long. It's only fair that I too participate in this wonderful system and give something back.

You're right that the payment is important. Calling that "greed" is a misunderstanding of that word, aside from the attempted insult. Among several things, it does serve as a check that what you do is important. That someone is willing to pay you money, shows that the work is important to that someone!
Sort of like Microsoft opensource Calc. Yawn.
Absolutely it is. And that's my point.

Every interaction you have with a business in any capacity is an "experience." How then, can you have employees who are tasked with everything? Conversely, by definition, isn't everybody in the company then a UX person?

UX is everything and nothing depending on the agenda of the person using the term. It's a buzzword.

"I don't like clickbait... The article starts to suggest that calculus is hard to reason about and "irrational". In the end all it is really saying is that calculus requires irrational numbers, well doh!"

Agreed. I did not want to click it, because I knew the author could not prove that Calculus made no sense. But due to the high amount of upvotes, I wanted to see just what were his arguments.
The title turned out to be just a pun; which also happens to be clickbait-y, though I don't think that was an accident. As the author said, nothing in the post is particularly deep or surprising to anyone who has taken a course on real analysis, or even Calculus with some amount of rigor (which is unfortunately getting increasingly rare).
This kind of subtle clickbait is, IMO, even more harmful than the obvious kind: whereas one can simply ignore the latter, in this particular case I couldn't figure out whether the title was a clickbait or not, and I had to waste time reading it to find out it's not what I thought it was, and it's not what I was interested in reading.
This would be the absolute fastest way to shift the federal tax burden from the top 20% to the bottom 50% and would likely cause consumer spending to plummet resulting in a recession. It's also a very nice way to punish lower through upper middle class savers.

This may be an ideal solution in theory, but it would likely be devastating in practice.

It’s also good for githubs economics to be able offload data from git itself to easily mirrored versioned tarballs. It’s much more cost effective than mirroring constantly changing master branches or worse whole git repos for clones.
Welcome to php world, 5 years ago, when there where an astonishing number of frameworks. It seems to have coalessed around just a few (maybe the lack of the languague being as hot.. has limited resources)

Where php ended up somewhat confusingly is the frameworks are now frameworks and components to make web programming easier (syfony/zend...), which seem to be driving drupal and wordpress development.

Continuous Relaxation of Symbolic Planner for One-Shot Imitation Learning
Freud is not really revered by most psychology professors, at least from the textbooks and professors I had had. They all characterized him as somehow who was one of the first to start looking at psychology in a new way, but one who whose theories had little relevance to the modern world, little basis in fact, and serious problems with its view toward humans.

I feel like you aren't reading my replies so I'll keep this short.

- We know Java Applets don't work on non-IE11 browsers and mobile devices, that's why we've spent the last three years migrating to modern web standards, that's why we have mixed legacy/modern content, which incidentally exactly the scenario IE Mode was invented to solve. Thus the entire point of this feature and my post.

- If you ONLY have Java Applets IE Mode does nothing for you. It is a migration helper.

- Our time management system is from a popular vendor and uses modern web technologies, it isn't relevant here.

- No "proprietary IE technology" is used. The website has Java Applets built using Oracle's technology on it. IE11 supports Java Applets. Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and others do not.

- Companies have invested tens of years into now defunct technologies. Suggesting they migrate tens of years of investment in an eighth of the time isn't at all realistic or constructive. It is an ongoing process. We'll be stuck mid-migration for another five-ish years (thousands of man hours still to go).

- Thank you for telling me what the company should have done 12 years ago, and 8 years before I joined. Very constructive.

Vue/React is moving heavily into SSR which is the future of web development IMO (37signals called it long ago). It's the best of both worlds of old staticy HTML + interactive components.

I used to look down on something like Next.js/Nuxt.js [1] for simple (and advanced) websites until I used it and I'm 100% convinced it's the future of web development. Where most of the content is built with components but pre-rendered server-side and the JS loads to 'hydrate' the interface with interactive elements. I've stopped using heavy frameworks like Phoenix as a result and switching to simpler backends APIs written in Rust/Ruby/etc with Vue SRR handling the full frontend.

Combined with treeshaking, chunked JS via webpack (which automatically only renders tiny .js files on-demand based on what components the page/route needs), purgeCSS which removes all unused CSS, PWA/critical inlined CSS tools, and other easy-to-use optimizations you can have a fully feature-rich JS site with SEO-friendly HTML pages and very fast page loads.

We're just seeing the beginning of Vue/React and it's going to improve the web from the ills of the past, not make it worse. Better performance and more importantly high-quality well composed codebases, plus TypeScript which helps JS applications scale in size while keeping them sane.

I’ve been working steadily through Project Euler for the past couple years; about 2/3 finished. That’s introduced me to many fascinating parts of mathematics I never studied as an undergrad, 40 years ago. Chromatic polynomials are one of the most delightful areas I’ve been introduced to.
