None of these need readability though (or are particularly readable to begin with, regardless of if object literals or parsed).
By default, the biggest value from this is catching unexpected runtime exceptions with certain values (the edge cases you don't think of yourself). To get the most value out of it, you can further specify what you expect from the result using the _auto_verify=Callable() parameter, or by looking at the individual test cases.

Simple example:

from my_library import add
from hypothesis_auto import auto_pytest

@auto_pytest()
def test_add(test_case):
add_result = test_case()
if test_case.params.kwargs['number_1'] > 0 and test_case.params.kwargs['number_1']:
assert add_result > test_case.params.kwargs['number_1']
assert add_result > test_case.params.kwargs['number_1']

I don't have a degree but made it far enough in school to take algorithms and we didn't learn A*.. I think there will always be holes in someone's knowledge since schools have different requirements.
A Brief Description of Marvel Studio
I'm necroposting, but this is aggressively missing the point. The problem described in the article is that many games advertise fun, but provide addiction. You can have tons of addicted players not really having fun, or putting in disproportionate effort relative to the fun.
Why shouldn't the balance sheet permanently increase along with the size of income?
1) Increase efficiency sometime/often lead to rebound effect in our current system... When it comes to Netflix, current consumption replace both a) old renting a film system, and b)TV. You seems to overestimate the energy/pollution cost of a) (which can run on green energy too) and ignored b)

2)Sure, but data center consumption are added to transportation, construction...

3)Electric car can run on green energy too... does not change point 2)

4) You still try to compensate 2). And even data center running on green energy needs ressources and have effect.

The idea is not to not to get ride of digitization, but to keep in mind its consequences and don't see it as a magic thing that will solve all our problem and have no bad consequences

How was it used?
Net neutrality is a completely difference issue. It has nothing to do with why its hard to make an ISP competitor.
It was a carton scanning app, so basically a massive array of objects (carton data) which were needed so the app could function and route cartons and validate deliveries entirely offline. Due to some unfortunate limitations from our clients and some edge cases, we couldn't filter down the data on the server ahead of time. So we ended up having to keep that massive amount of data on the device, and at the end of the day 95% of it would be unused, but we wouldn't know which 95% until the device was already offline.

It was a system where the goalposts moved many times during the development. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't use JSON, but after having the goals change a few times and then having the original server-side components get co opted to work on other projects, it was hard to justify the time that would be spent switching to a different, more appropriate wire format.
There needs to be some sort of internet sanction where the offending country's internet access to the world is cut off until they start acting like good global citizens.
Well yes, it doesn't affect me. Doesn't mean that my viewpoint is not of any value.

I'm not sure if this decision "kills" people. I know nicotine is addictive. I know giving up addictive stuff is hard. But if you think that having something which is less harmful for people already consuming more harmful stuff and more harmful for the rest who might be pulled into this, I'd believe that some action to reduce the damage being taken is not a unilaterally bad decision.

I try very hard to not get addicted to stuff, because I know it's damaging. But I'm not sure if it's a good idea to keep something we are pretty sure is bad (nicotine addiction) around just because it's an easy out for someone who's already doing harm for himself and people around him.

People fought to contain smoking, they lost. Clearly neither forced abstinence or knowing temperance is an awesome solution. But I'd rather ban something small which has the potential to get to the big bad real soon (e-cigarettes don't come with a doctor's approval as far as I know), because it's doable, than handhold people into something we know is not ideal, and can possibly be much worse.
I've done work for a few major banks and seen their back-ends. Most of the products and tools they use in support of security are purchased from 3rd party vendors, and some of them aren't bad. Where I've seen it break down is in practice, where you end up with a bunch of compromises that boil down to "lowest common denominator".

e.g. Banks are buying each other up all the time. After a few dozen acquisitions you end up with a giant hodgepodge of diverse systems not designed to work together, but need to integrate them. Username and password is common to all, so you wind up with raw dumps to synchronize credentials. (That's less common now that most vendors have adopted better practices like password hashing, etc. but it wasn't so uncommon back in my day)

I'm not surprised at the character limits. It simply means there's at least one legacy system somewhere that can't accommodate more. It's not necessarily tied to a plaintext database field as Troy suggests; it could simply be a validation in some line of custom reporting code a programmer put in two decades ago based on ancient requirements devised long before current-day practices. Or more simply, bank IT themselves may be unsure what their real limit is at a given point in time, and chose to go with something "safe".

I'm not denying banks need to step up their game, after all it's nearly 2020. But personally I think the reason it won't matter is most of them won't be around long enough - they're in for a world of painful disruption from the likes of Stripe, Apple, Google, cryptocurrencies, Libra-like instruments, peer-to-peer services and micropayments, etc. and who-knows-what other big innovations about to be invented by geniuses from areas of the world presently starved for financial services.

A useful self-test on this topic is to consider the following question:

If we really needed to talk about the inception of ReiserFS, should we bail Reiser out of prison for a bit and pay him a speaker's fee? Or can we content ourselves with considering his technology while excluding the man?

It turns out, opinions differ on this. And while I'm not implying that RMS's words are worse than Reiser's actions, I'm noting that the fact some people believe the answer is "Yes, we do bail him out of prison for a bit" is telling on where people in our industry set the bar on dividing a person's works and their other qualities.
Just because the law is different somewhere else doesn't mean the law here is invalid. Stallman lives in the US, and should be help to US standards.

People use the 'legal in europe' reasoning to justify many things. My parents used it to give me alcohol as a child. Did that make it right? No, it didn't. Should europe change? That's up to them. We are all still evolving. Some do it at a different pace.
There's no reason that a relational database couldn't also have index-free adjacency. Alongside every foreign key, you store a file pointer to the row with that key.

I assume that the reason relational databases don't do this is that the speedup isn't worth the complexity and performance cost of keeping those pointers up to date for the kinds of queries that relational databases usually do.

I have USAA and they are pretty bad as well. Max password length is 20 characters. They only do MFA through cell phone numbers and email which allows someone to Sim-Swap if they are able to get your username and password. To top it off, they have a mobile app knock-off 2FA screen, but you _can not_ see it when you're trying to log in to your account via the mobile app because the modal doesn't let you leave the input screen.

I was going to write them an email, but they have no clear email to report security concerns so I figured they don't care.
Raymond Chandler is one of my favorite authors. His mastery of the art of writing is second to none in my opinion. I started with one of the most memorable lines from his works and the end result, with 3 added then's for clarity, was hilariously demonic:

He carried a black cross. The priestess held a knife in his hand and he crawled backward down the stairs, his head held high. He crawled backward in a deep, cold sweat. The priestess did not utter a word.

Ask HN: How much money do you spend on media subscriptions per year?
Just curious.

Every publication and every brand wants me to subscribe individually now. I refuse to do that when the content in the articles is mostly the same from site to site and less than 20% of the titles even appeal to me.

I save a lot of time and money not feeling like I am 'missing out' and fill that time with reading, writing, coding, designing, walking, meditating, sleeping.
I’m glad there is so much free software! I think this shows how superior this volunteer model is over, say, a capitalist approach.
The people on HN that care more about saving $8 than the headache of both finding pirated media, lugging around an external hard drive, making sure that the movie is a supported format or converting it to a supported format.

Thank you! Kimono Labs built an amazing product and has been finally acquired by Palantir. The main difference between us comes from our machine learning model that gives stability to extraction over time and parse webpages in a generic way.

While I agree, that `_param` generally means private, it is also a common way to allow parameters to be passed into a function where all other parameters are passed directly along via args and *kwargs to avoid naming collisions.

Aside: I can't figure out what I'd even do with 10gig symmetric at home for $300/mo. I'd be tempted to run a distro mirror for the city, the last time I ran a mirror I had 30mbps I could give to it. I'd push for 10gig at the office when it comes, but we'd have to upgrade everything except a few dev servers...
Century Link expanded its fiber network in Seattle when it seemed likely Google Fiber would come, but in the last 4 years while it has been clear it wouldn't, it seems like CenturyLink has stopped expanding their network.
Where the "reality" of language is a result of brutal culture wars that have given us very unnatural categories ("X means Y+Z except in very specific circumstances K where it means Y+W")?

In that case think its important for thinking clearly to develop your own definitions that group things together into categories where all members share important traits.
You probably wouldn't want to work for somebody who fired people so easily anyway. This is one reason why I find it stupid when people defend companies or are super loyal to their employers: companies don't care about you and especially companies that fire on a whim without concern that they're fucking with somebodies life. Best to work somewhere that treats you like a human instead of as a cog.
U.S. Has Highest Proportion of Climate Deniers, Survey of 28 Countries Finds
Honestly, I'd rather my bank be too quick to notify me of weird activity and ask for my approval than the opposite. At the very least, it lets me know that they are paying attention. If someone were to steal from my bank account, I'd rather find out about it from the bank than when I next try to make a purchase.
> “The data that we have largely is derived from the US’ experience and it the US the latest stats that I have before me states that there has been a 77.8% growth among school students who are at the 10th and 12th level.”

> She also pointed to “surprising” growth in e-cigarette use among US middle school students — up 48.5%, per stats she cited.

It's interesting that they are citing US data for this decision directly. Not that you can't learn from others, but you'd think the Indian government would be able to gather its own domestic statistics on this.

If I had to spin a theory about the reason for this ban, I'd say that this is more about preventing the urbanized middle to upper class youth - who are more likely to mimic trends form the US - from starting the habit. It seems like more of a political signal that "we are in cultural control" to conservative voters (who are mostly middle to upper class in India). Also, note the similar ban on flavored e-cigarettes by the US administration just a few days ago. Perhaps one government is taking political queues from the other? Wouldn't be the first time that has happened lately.

It can't be practically related to health, since as others have noted, the extreme urban air pollution is likely the primary broad-based driver of respiratory disease in India, not vaping.
Maybe in theory, but you'd at least have to fit the entire neural net into the width of the computer. So we'd need a maching with millions of qubits? That's a bit hard to fathom.
Poor diet is literally killing people by the millions. Vaping has seen an acute outbreak of a problem affecting a tiny portion of people who vape which will almost certainly be traced back to a manufacturing problem.
OTOH, if you could have it opt-in on a per-FK basis in an RDBMS, the cost could be avoided where not needed, but the performance benefit available where needed.
You are only charged that if a recruiter delivers. $99 for a posting on a brand new job board, for which we have no idea if it will ever gain traction, is expensive. Not because the price is wrong, but because we have no idea if this board will be there next month, or next week.

If they had metrics proving out the number of devs who look at the board, and the number hired through the board, that would be a reasonable price. But as far as I know, this board could have been set up last night, with jobs scraped from other sites. I can't spend $99 on every job board that exists. I need to choose the right boards.

A while back I looked into blackboard and did some light black box security testing on a demo app. From what I remember it was like Swiss cheese. Ultimately I stopped looking because they didn’t seem too interested. Some of the good ones I found were arbitrary file I/O issues, a few IDOR related problems as well. None of this surprises me.
Nah, in real life it constantly batters the system administrators with unnecessary alarms who then stop taking them as seriously as they should be if they were actual attacks.

Yet SQL still hasn’t standardized “CREATE INDEX” yet, has it? How many databases have implemented graph traversals, and do they even use the same syntax?

The various implementations of SQL are so different from each other, and from the spec, that I no longer find it useful to consider them the same language.

Is there a caniuse.com for SQL?

I'm currently using Balena for my company's edge deployment needs. It's a well-packaged solution... with issues. I'm not super happy about this service, but it mostly works.

I'm curious about the EVE project. So the code was donated by zededa.com to the Linux Foundation about a month ago? And, in practice the people from Zededa.com are probably still driving it it?

What's Zededa's MO? Will they do consulting on top of this now open codebase?

Is there anyone who is focusing on all of the work that's needed to take this codebase to something neatly packaged for lots of different boards, like Balena has done?

In this case, it played out as a wrote it - I offered some solutions to the problem and thought about different ways to solve it, then implemented the one I thought was best on the whiteboard. About halfway through he asked me why I wasn't implementing the best version, so I thought some more about it and couldn't come up with an in-place solution (which is very hard to find in an interview setting), so I continued down the same line when he wouldn't give me any help. After the interview his feedback to the manager (which I received because this was through a referral) was that he expected me to have this algorithm memorized and he gave me a "Strong No Hire" because I couldn't give the best solution.

Its worth noting that I received offers from over 50% of companies I interviewed at and I certainly am not bad at coding - this was just a particularly bad interviewer using a very bad problem. With this company, I actually told them I wouldn't accept an offer even if they did give me one because the interview was so bad.

ooookay a more recent demonstration: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.03719.pdf

you said the number 15 was never factored on a quantum computer - this is false.

You can run as many gates as you want - go ahead and run 4608 gates in qiskit right now - the measurements will be random but you can do it.

IDK where you got that equation for the number of gates but it's probably for the general case - doesn't take into account the fact that different gate sets can be used to reduce the total.

Also confused on the error correction part - the whole point of error correction is to make the coherence time independent of the number of 'gates' in your circuit - so yeah with error correction you get more gates but you also get an effectively infinite coherence time...
This comment is precisely indicative of the attitude that is holding the Free Software movement back, and if pushing Stallman out gives better indication to the fact that this attitude is not to be tolerated, then his removal succeeds in sending the correct message.

The movement doesn't grow further as just an old-boys-club, or a tough-emotions-only club. That stuff is, quite frankly, exhausting and detracts from good engineering.
A good/important book written in other than English will eventually find it's place in the international market. The sad part is that without a large enough market the writers need to get another job and continue to write in their spare time.
