Well looking at the left (Tasklemon) and right (Node.js) in the example, I'm wondering what it take to make them be the same thing. Off the top of my head something like:

#!/usr/local/bin/tasklemon stdlib

home.children().forEach(child => {
if (child.extension === 'tmp') child.delete();
});

where 'stdlib' in a tasklemon config dir has the preamble:

const fs = require('fs');
const os = require('os');
const path = require('path');

const home = {
children: function() {
const homeDir = os.homedir();
fs.readdirSync(homeDir).map((file) => {
return {
extension: path.parse(file).ext,
delete: function() {
const absPath = path.join(homeDir, file);
fs.unlinkSync(absPath);
},
};
});
},
};

So basically each 'feature' of Tasklemon is just a nice DSL for js/ts.

And for handing async callbacks, run the contents of the script in an async function so you can await values anywhere rather than have to pass in callbacks.
Something can be in widespread use and not hit the 51% threshold required by “most consumers”.

Agile = reflect and adapt.

Replace agile word with that in your paragraph and it makes sense without sounding silly.

If you've done well you've probably learned and adapted.

If you havent done well, you probably need to reflect and work how to do it better next time.

Things arnt 'proper' agile when they are not about adapting but instead following a specific process your team cant change.
That would be a COP of 1/3, or a EER of about 1. I'm going to assert that you probably messed up your math somewhere, seeing as an EER of around 11 at 95°F is pretty common. (And also represents roughly the minimum required efficiency of an A/C sold in Texas since 2006.)
Ah I wondered why the ST Pancras line was in such a mess hours later
You still can improve HN performance a lot and get better results on low connections.

The € bank notes do not have historical figures on them. Only the coins have historical or royal figures on them depending on the country that minted them.

If the UK had the euro they could put his face on their coins, but well... that's never going to happen anymore.
Seems like a pretty arcane argument.

The best reason to be nice to foreign students is that being nice is good, and sinophobia is bad. Or, to help a university president interpret his own facts:

> The incompatibility of university culture with systematic scrutiny may explain why even law enforcement officials who have visited our campus have offered little prescriptive guidance, instead offering that we should be vigilant.

Because the government is primarily motivated by sinophobia.
"I don't know why people pay for degrees" Because some pursuits in life require them. What about someone who wants to pursue genetics or molecular biology? Those are essential fields that provide things like healthcare and food security.
Well, these TOS will be soon adopted by all other startups if they have not already.

Craig's already has excessive fines / fees in their TOS, good reason I NEVER give any of these digital devils my REAL credit card.

They are all given a prepaid card for like no more than $100, if they ever refuse to take it I refuse any further business with them. I cut off Google AdWords and send them to the bottom of the ocean for refusing my gift card. Will do the same to any others. I discovered all my competitors merely using SEO, nobody using AdWords, heck, I don't need that crap.

Interesting... the arbitration clause includes a clause that might (if I recall correctly) be a response to a case where the person making the complaint ran out of money (Arbitration filing fees (and the arbitrators hourly fee) tend to be much more expensive than regular court). A higher court eventually ruled that requiring excessive fees to resolve a disagreement wasn't constitutio9nal (equal protection?), and the case was allowed to restart in regular court. Basically you could agree to arbitration, but you couldn't agree to terms that completely blocked any path to justice.

Which, again if I recall correctly, is why companies started adding clauses like this to their arbitration agreements:

> If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay AAA’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and you cannot obtain a waiver from AAA, Wag! will pay them for you.

The company doesn't have to worry you might fall back to the regular court if they ensure the fees are paid. This couod keep you in arbitration, but this is a double-sided weapon: the company agreed to pay potentially many thousands of dollars in arbitration fees. Even this stupid $1000 termination fee wouldn't justify paying for arbitration. The company would be very strongly incentivized to settle quickly, before they are required to pay $2k filing fees and $400+ per hour arbitrator fees..

(I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. Talk to an actual lawyer about the specific TOS for proper advice!)

Also, some interesting language right after that promise to pay arbitration fees:

> In addition, Wag! will reimburse all such AAA’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for proceedings involving claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Wag! will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous.
> Students may also avoid using resources on campus because some colleges may expel students who have suicidal ideation ... to avoid liability related to student suicides
"Completely sustainable" is a technically true but only for a fairly low (<20%) percentage of locations. It's just evaporative cooling, so it relies on a large water supply. It also increases local humidity significantly so it can make the outside environment even more uncomfortable much more quickly than normal air conditioning. It's also more expensive anywhere water isn't essentially free.

That said it's great in places like India and southeast Asia, where huge numbers of people live.
OK, actually this is correct and what the difference between the two files is (profile is loaded by a login shell, bashrc is loaded by an interactive shell), but can you tell me the real difference between ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile?

The real answer is, read the entire man page to understand.

From the page .bashrc runs in every shell, so long as it is an interactive shell. Bash can be interactive according to a complex system of connected variables, including $PS1, $-, and the arguments passed into bash itself. I found all of this described fully in the Invocation section of the man page, section on interactive shells.

However, profile is loaded when the shell is a login shell. Which profile? Also from Invocation, continuing on from an explanation of when .bashrc is loaded:

> After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.

So, .bash_profile may or may not be loaded, and .profile being loaded or not loaded depends on the existence of those other two files in order.

Your response was lazy but on point. This is the darkest of man page magic, and nobody who hasn't read the manual will know the answer in complete detail. Everyone who has spent any real time in a shell has learned part of this answer.
A farm is industrial property. If it’s highly valuable land, it’s either producing a high value crop, and can pay the tax, or better used for some other function.

If the farmer is struggling because of property taxes driven by their own increased property value... sounds like a good position to be in.

As for passing them on, that argument could be made for all taxes. If true, at least this structure would lower rents for low-value dwelling occupants and increase for those in more luxurious situations.

The average student loan debt for the class of 2017 was about as much as the average new car loan. And repayment is limited to 10% of disposable income with forgiveness after 20 years. The whole “crisis” is the projected anxiety of the the relatively small handful of upper middle class people who are actually looking at taking $200k in loans.

No, he was prosecuted for having sex with other men. That is something he did. Being homosexual was never illegal.
I hacked a quick dark mode userscript for HN that respects your OS choice of dark/light colour scheme (using the prefers-color-scheme media query)

https://gist.github.com/1player/85d146a4aa0c2afc78bab63582f5...

Some things like the login page are not styled correctly, but works good enough to browse and post comments.
Its true the examples I gave are probably a bit exaggerated but I think the general point still stands. I think you have even demonstrated that contradiction yourself although in a much more eloquent way?

If Agile lets you inspect and adapt freely, then at what point does Agile does stop being Agile?
I believe the hurricane tracks is a solution to the problem outlined in the HN post 3 days ago on "Misinterpreting hurricane forecasts"[0].

The hurricane tracks are a new addition to Flowx but I believe it can be improved a lot. For example, you can color the dots by the hurricane category or wind speed. Better still, draw a heat map around each dot would generate a probability map for the hurricane.

well done. I'm also experimenting with this. Just not so consistent per day (eat on average about 1.5 non raw meals per day), but managing to keep it up well (1+ year now).
You've made a good point and touched on something I feel is sometimes the case: Agile is used as an excuse not to spend money on market research.
I've been running a mailserver for ~15 Years.

I found it to be very time consuming and complicated, mainly because of the trouble of outgoing mail.
Is this an attempt to increase the value of money by inspiring people to burn a lot of it?
No, it was just ordinary police and a court conviction that did that. The intelligence agencies likely knew about his orientation long before and did nothing about it - if anything, it was something that could be used to control him.
I believe Dang has said once or twice that this is something that can be achieved if you email them.

it is not featured on the main page since the atomic process is not essentially different (neither from RxJS nor from any other library you might want to use to do that, though the ease of just plugging in any other library for that perhaps is different from RxJS).
This app is nearly perfect for me, but I cant stand the three pane layout on every rss reader. It’s a mobile layout, not a desktop layout. Give me a single line list view with completely customizable columns. Give me articles in simple popup windows, like apple mail messages. If I could have those two things this would be perfect for me and would replace inoreader.
Escher-Like Spiral Tilings
I went to the Denver Agile conference a few months back and I mentioned to my boss that I felt the way they were presenting was very cultish. Instead of saying: if you follow this practice it has these benefits, I just felt the entire conference was a presentation on dogmatic adherence for the sake of holistic enlightenment. You must do this or condemn you entire project to the ninth level of programmer hell. If I wanted dogma I would go to church. I came here for a logical application of a standardized practices based on axioms not holistic bullshit.
Thanks for the thoughtful questions! Sadly our model is still in the process of being trained (utilizing GDS transaction data) and we can't provide you with any metrics that would validate the viability without being actively deceptive. However, we can say that the data we have seen, coupled with the fact that both Hopper and Google have existing flight price ML models, that there is something here.

As you can see from the link we've submitted, we have a landing page that is purposely built to help gauge user demand for our product. Getting sign ups is our core metric and focus to gauge user demand as we train our model in parallel.

Would love to stay in touch and keep you updated on our model's progress. Feel free to sign up for our mailing list at the posted link or PM me.
That ignores the fact that out of state schools cost on average of double and not every state either has the programs folks are looking for or the schools to go to, so some resort to out of state and pay $20k per year and will walk out with more than twice that in debt.

Also the cost of living around good schools is mostly increasing, at least if they are in an urban environment.
I think a huge part of it is that getting a “good” job out of college has never been more competitive and more important. The idea that one works their way up from a secretarial position to executive could not be more unrealistic today. On the other hand, if you beat the competition (your peers) to get a reputable corporate gig at a big co, well known startup, or prestigious consulting or banking you’re setting yourself up for life. Not getting one of those jobs out of college makes it near impossible to be hired at those companies even a year or two down the road simply because many of those companies source all their entry level people from colleges and past interns.

Your trajectory is just so different depending on your first job and I think everyone is acutely aware but no one wants to talk about it.
How can someone who someone never chose to create have a right to exist?
I've resisted installing an AC in my apartment for the last few years, even though temperatures have been over 30° very often during the summer.

Sadly, I work from home, and using a computer makes the heat worse, and working with a scalding object in a very hot environment lowers productivity terribly, and it doesn't seem like computers are getting cooler.
I've thought about making my own extension to make HN more "modern" but when I sat down to make it better, turns out I was really happy with how it is. Agree with what you're saying!
I'm talking beyond the matter of ads. On their websites I can use an adblocker, so in that respect the situation has actually improved.

They regularly fail on basic UX. Their ability to turn a kilobyte of text into 10MB of trash is astounding, as is their ability to cripple modern computer hardware, or simply readability, with their latest 'innovations' in totally unnecessary JS/CSS fuckery.

uMatrix blocking all JS, including first party, helps. But you've still got bullshit like floating headers that follow you when you scroll down the article to contend with. I find myself creating cosmetic filters to remove pointless floating clutter on news websites more than any other sort of site. The industry seems utterly incapable of presenting a clean and readable article online.
>gmail.com -> gmail.com (HTML version)

gmail used to have an option to set HTML as default, but it seems like it's gone.

Only way to get HTML is to click on a link that's available during loading, nothing in the settings to make it permanent.
The most frustrating thing to me about imgur is they way over-compress images on the mobile site. I always have to request the desktop site to get the original quality image. It's bad to the point that text on an image is often unreadable on the mobile site.
> I haven't been to an airport yet that didn't have an ATM.

Those have terrible exchange rates. I’ve used an airport ATM once, and even then that was only because I realised too late that Switzerland wasn’t in the Eurozone.
>Their computer cases, for example, are mostly X-TREME in nature and they have few-if-any HTPC cases at any given time, and definitely nothing that can rack.

Cases that aren't designed to appeal to 12 year old boys are hard to come by, period. Manufacturers have decided that everything needs to have sexy angry facades and RGB lights - this has a lot more to do with product people at the manufacturers and less to do with the actual market. Ditto motherboards, especially.
Second- 1/3 is about what you'd expect for a Peltier module at a similar temperature difference.

quick googling shows that NYC uses ~11,000 Megawatt-hours each day, that seems more reasonable.

That's very good point. I would correct one thing, a baby can learn sign language (aka interpret other's hands gesture) by 4 to 6 months old.
It wasn't diskdoctor compatible though.
HN is lightweight in some ways, but also quite bad in others. For example, every single time you vote on anything, the site sends back a 302 redirect and then a copy of the entire page's HTML in response. This means that every vote results in a response that's usually around 10KB gzipped.

As of right now, for me, voting on any comment in this thread currently causes a 14KB response and takes about 1.3 seconds to finish.
Have you thought of using this for online classrooms/e-learning? Could be a neat use case.
You can literally do something like what parent comment wanted to do in three (3) minutes, including installing the addon. Stylus is great.
I'm certainly not defending it, but these clauses can also be found in UK rental contracts made by estate agents. The clause will usually state that if you continue in the house after the term of the contract without renewing through the agency (and paying their exorbitant annual fees again) they will charge you a "finders fee" on the basis that you found the landlord through them originally.

No idea on the legality of it, but I guess it's likely legal since rental contracts are things that you read through and can even negotiate and amend, quite unlike the "contracts" that you click through when you sign up to a dog walking service.
It always kind of amazes me when I work for a company that has national customers and is getting into multinational and they still only know how to run one server room.
When your forced to follow a specific process without any input. A lot companies are like that.

Getting good at agile means getting good at inspect and adapt.
However, would be sweet for a bunch of mailserver experts to converge on a docker-compose or swarm file for an optimal setup.

According to Singapore’s first prime minister:

> Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history. It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics.

> Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency.
That's not what I mean. I'm not using the term "working software" as "great project success". I mean it as something executable that you can develop, test, and get feedback on.

The software will be slow and buggy and do the wrong thing. If you find this out in month 1, then that's great. If you start with 2 months of careful planning to make sure you don't get it wrong, you'll find out it's wrong in month 3.
Thank you very much for that tip! Tried it, fell in love with it immediately. It imported my highlights from my Kindle and from my iBooks library and shows me my Highlights in a much better way than Amazon's web interface is able to do (https://lesen.amazon.de/notebook?ref_=kcr_notebook_lib)

Also, it allows me to export all of my highlights.

Finally it adds a gamification dimension, showing me random five hightlights from my books.

PS: Through this site I learned that my Kindle highlights reside in a in file called `My Clippings.txt` (in /Volumes/Kindle/documents/My Clippings.txt) This is something I always wanted to know, because I have many books I uploaded to my Kindle device via USB (so no clound sync available).
the answer would have to be that doing so would benefit the walker short term but over the long term would lead to them losing business because Wag would track the lost business and as such disqualify the walker from any more Wag business, thus walkers would not cheat on wag because wag would catch them doing it - probably by using something that they would call "machine learning" and "suspicious behavior tracking" that will also be "patent-able, someday"
The law against homosexual sex does nothing to increase the welfare of their fellow man and prevents individuals from finding fulfilling love. It was an evil law and people should be proud for defying it not ashamed because their love was stronger than your hate.
The main supplier in the area I am working is a huge US company with many different divisions, including a software engineering one. I am working with more a couple of dozens people that have "Senior", "Staff", "Principal" and "Engineer" words in the title, in combinations of 2 or 3 of these words, but it totally makes no sense to me if I am looking at the expertise, effectiveness of their work and the influence/decision power they have: they are all skilled workers with fancy but meaningless titles.
