I'm not sure if that's what this one is doing specifically, but there are metal additive-manufacturing machines out there that are 'hybrids' where they can print and mill as they go to effectively make 3d-printed parts with very good tolerance / surface finish. So they _do_ get finished with traditional machining operations, it's just done as its being printed out.

A balance transfer is a one time fee, not compounded monthly or daily. You pay 3% up front, and then theres no benefit to paying the loan off early, except for holding a lower credit card balance.

What I am saying is, is that IF you are taking a balance transfer, to accurately compare it to a traditional, monthly compounded loan, you need to account for the minimum payment differences (the balance transfer will be 5x-10x lower) and then calculate the interest that extra cash not paid back to the loan can net you.

I am making a counter argument to the claim that a 3% balance transfer is equal to a 5.5% apr loan, i think its closer to 4.5% if managed wisely. Its closer to 50% higher, not double.
Yeah, they need to update that setting to "Data Harvesting Mode".

Same. I actually bought a last gen Sony RX100 VII and the difference in quality is negligible, other than the Sony having 20MP and the iphone only 12. This means the tiny iphone 11 pro sensor can produce similar results to a 1in top-of-the-line compact camera. This is mind-boggling.

After comparing them, I'm convinced that it's only a matter of time until phones are going to catch up to full frame cameras. Software these days is more important than the raw hardware it seems...

Ask HN: Would it help you if I shared my entrepreneurship / engineering notes?
I have a huge archive of notes on entrepreneurship, engineering, programming patterns, psychology, branding, etc and I'd love to maximize their utility by sharing them with like-minded people instead of keeping them to myself. I'm new to HN though and don't know if this would be appropriate (especially if I'm sharing links to my off-site notes).

Here's an example:

Sam Altman - How to Succeed with a Startup

Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lJKucu6HJc

My Notes:

- The degree to which you're successful is the degree to which you build a product that is so good that people spontaneously tell their friends about it.

- We find out about great products from our friends.

- One litmus test here is to ask yourself, is your product easy to understand? Can it be explained in a simple sentence?

- If you can't explain what your product does in a sentence, it's a bad sign. People don't pitch their friends. People share cool stuff with their friends.

- You also need to be looking for a market that is starting to undergo or is soon to be undergoing exponential growth.

- One of the biggest mistakes that investors make when evaluating startups is to focus on the growth rate. Investors will forgive low revenue if there's rapid growth. For some reason, people don't think about markets this way. They should.

- Most successful startups start in small markets that are growing very quickly. You want to identify a market that's set to grow every year and then ride the elevator up.

- It's important to distinguish between real trends and fake trends. If your product is targeted at a real trend, then your early adopters will use it obsessively.

Are you talking in general, or bazel specifically?

Because in general yes, I agree, it would be nice. Probably not in source control though -- putting in compilers + libraries will make checkouts very slow, git is not really designed for tens of gigabytes of stuff.

For bazel specifically, this is not really well supported. The default rules and all examples just trust system-installed compilers.

I don't know enough about ML to comment with any authority, but I think this approach makes sense. Your call-center ops people would provide real-time QA (i.e. make sure the machines aren't killing people) as well as provide training data for your model. If this were in fact the approach, I'd be much more receptive to the promise of 'Autonomous Vehicles'.
I for one, refuse to believe the hype that real-time distributed computer vision applications are 'nearly solved'. Consider the amount of variables (pedestrians, pot-holes, un-marked lanes, obstructed signage, other drivers etc etc) at play here...
>Well, this was the narrative up until 2008.

It's still the narrative. 2008 was the biggest since the GD in 1929. Here's a list [1] of all US recessions. There's no question volatility has been reduced since the introduction of the Fed. And the same has been demonstrated in dozens countries.

>80 million turks have lost 80% of the value of their cash savings - 40 million argentines have lost 90% of the value of their cash savings - 30 million venezuelans have lost 99% of the value of their cash savings

And billions of people have not lost their savings, and billions have been removed from poverty. Cherry picking outliers does not make your case very persuasive.

There's 7+B people on the planet. Demonstrate that your tiny number is worse than before central banking then you will have some room to complain.

The vast literature on this shows the evidence to be otherwise.

>Even the US rate of inflation is likely double what the official measures are.

Yeah, this is nonsense, propagated by places like ShadowStats. There are ample other groups measuring inflation, such as the Billion Prices Project [2], and they obtain the same numbers. If inflation were lied about, there would be ample ways to game various commodities and make a pretty hefty profit. Yet no one I've known in trading has ever heard of such a thing, despite many people trying to do so.

And the most compelling way is you can check it yourself. Take BLS reported inflation for the past few decades. Pick a basket of goods similar to theirs. Measure local prices in a spreadsheet. Now go to your local library or the web and find old ads from decades ago, which is easy to do now. Compute the basket value then.

Even a percent off over a few decades would vastly skew prices. I've done this legwork out of debunking ShadowStats to someone I know that believes their nonsense. You can do it, and disabuse yourself of such unsubstantiated conspiracy nonsense.

>Many other countries have high single digit or double digit true rates of inflation. ... You think this is good?

Yes, it's better than a deflationary spiral. Single digit inflation, if somewhat stable, is vastly better than previous boom bust cycles.

Nope... The packets need to be sealed back together, at that point the data is denormalized and you can't measure how much it "actually" counted.
It isn't hard to have redundant sensors so that you can drive for a bit on less than all of them. If there is a failure you drive to a mechanic and get the senor fixed before there is a second sensor failure.

The odds of a dual sensor failure is low enough to still be substantially better than humans. Assuming of course that the dual sensor failure is dual unrelated failures. That means care in the wiring of power systems, fail safe modes, over design such that failure can't happen, and other engineering tricks.
People were meme-ing the goose game hard much before its launch, and much before Dunkey covered it, but that probably helped sustain its exponential growth.

It still amazes me how climbing gear continues to find ways to improve every year. The pads I land on and the shoes I climb in today are undeniably better than the ones I was using just five years ago.

Take shoes. Here's what the brand new Scarpa Instinct looked like nine years ago:

https://www.climbing.com/gear/new-and-notable-scarpa-instinc...

Notice the tiny scrap of rubber they stuck on to the top of the thing. That was revolutionary at the time. Today, that rubber takes over the whole upper surface of the shoe. Here's a pair of mine in action last year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcN3WETCDzM

Trust me, I tried that problem quite a bit harder back before rubber-topped shoes came into vogue, and there was no holding that toe hook. The method of the day was to use your heel, which was, well, harder.

If you check out the shoe range of just that one company, you'll find that this is like their fifth most technical shoe. Kept around because old timers like me still like them.
Thank you, people don't acknowledge that simple point of logic often enough -- debt is a mindset.

Really what we need is a culture of saving, but a part of me feels that many people in our culture find that extremely difficult because billions of dollars are spend every year on propaganda designed to try to get us to spend more (read: advertising).

Rock climbing has a very long and storied history of climbers living on absolute scraps to get by, just so they can climb more. This persists in the culture to this day. Yvonne Chouinard, depicted in the article, was one of those climbers. He tells stories of eating catfood and stealing leftovers from the hotels in Yosemite Valley to survive.

While you're right that making money helps people live an easier life more able to do extraordinary things, climbing culture exemplifies those extraordinary things are possible without it. Much of the development of modern climbing was done with almost no money.

Sorry, but this is simply not the reality in software dev interviewing. This is a great story and all, but this kind of media is setting up people to fail.
There’s no special reason maintainers have to respond to (or even read) every comment on some years-old issue.

If maintainers have their email set up to pester them every time someone writes a comment anywhere, that’s the fault of the email setup, not the commenters’ fault.

Instead of locking the topic, consider just leaving a note that future discussion there is likely to be ignored by the team, and then letting users continue to discuss workarounds, etc.; often the issue tracker is the only kind of discussion/help forum available to project users.

It's neat and useful for clusters with a few nodes. I'd suggest using Ansible or Salt instead.

Also, for the small clusters, I have a tmux script that splits the windows, ssh's into each box and sets keyboard sync. It's relatively trivial to generate such a program from a list of nodes you want to connect to.

i3wm ftw

why use tmux when you can have i3wm? i3wm increased my productivity.
Sure! =)

For the starter... It only needs one single component to work , my computer!

Puppet/Salt you need a master server (with HA, load balancing, etc...) and a client running on every machine.

This by it self already add an order of magnitude more complexity than using Ansible.

And for Chef... Oh boy... you need a master server, a client running on every node plus a client running on your computer! (really... for me this by itself is already more than enough reason for me to plain refuse working with Chef).

Now... putting this details aside, the way that I use Ansible allows me to use the dynamic inventory feature (so... I don't store actual infra state on the automation) and to create playbooks that act as DevOps helpers if you may...

So... let's say that I need to setup a MongoDB Replicaset... I just call the `playbooks/provision-mongodb-replicaset.yml` playbook with the needed parameters and... the playbook takes care of everything. From the EC2 provisioning till the Hard disks partitioning (up to the RAID setup) going over OS settings, security roles, apps installations, etc..., till it goes, install MongoDB and create the replicaset for me.

All this with a single command from my computer without the need of anything else! =P

(and I have this `provisions-` and `update-` playbooks for everything that we run on my current job + for the things that I set up when freelancing... Including AWS only stuff like VPCs, or OpenVPN + VPC + Peering + etc...)
Sony needs to reconsider it's position in the entertainment market. It's convenient to have a BD player bundled in a console, but I don't buy it because of that, nor do I buy it to watch TV, though if it can do that too, even better.

Being that console parts are particularly cheaper than their PC equivalents, I think they'd make a lot more money focusing on their game management services. PS Now wasn't very good and caps out with respect to a user's internet capability, but the idea of 'leasing' games online could be severely improved. Another avenue could be revising and improving their hypervisor and their SDK to the point where they can confidently open up a homebrew app market. And release a playstation emulator or something similar that enables me to access any of my PS4 Sony-approved, online-verified and signed titles from my PC, provided I'm connected to my PS4 (not online) at all times. These incentives will make me want a Ps4, but don't add any incentives for me to use cracking software, but require effort on Sony's part to build up their security, and focus more on revenue generation than profit generation, so that cracking becomes largely pointless.

So, that CNBC article summarizes an article in WSJ that cites 27,000 people leaving some of the largest cities in the US. The problem is that the changes in each city are actually much smaller than the margin of error for the data that WSJ uses (I think it was ACS 5-year estimates).

This post goes into more detail on why that narrative is most likely noise: http://cityobservatory.org/no-youth_exodus_signal-noise/

Edit: 27k is approximately 0.25% of all 25-34 year olds living in cities with pops over 500k (which is what WSJ reported on). Not an exodus at all and it's really a bit of a nonsense narrative that WSJ has been pushing hard.

idk about y'all but I do spend a lot of my time trying to write less code, not more. And not in a, "I want to minimize my effort" way, but in that I write more code related to code generation and task automation than I do on implementing any product in particular.

I like thinking about and solving problems - writing code is the tedious part of implementing a solution to me. The less I have to do of that, the more time I can spend on new problems and new solutions.
There are plenty of people passionate about perpetual motion and chemtrails. Until we get to a point where resources are effectively infinite, we still need some form of prioritizing research funding.

Even then, playing kerbal space program does not make you a rocket scientist. It requires a certain dedication to master various physics and mathematics disciplines to contribute to even a part of one, which is itself a significant investment that you won't find possible with UBI alone; there will still need to be some form of dedicated funding through either specific government programs or commercial enterprise.

Salary also has a bit of a sticky effect; people change fields less than jobs, and spend more time in jobs than in funsies hobbies. A rocket designed by a committee of hobbyists will likely perform much like any other design-by-committee process or product.
Running the same passive project as 2017 - a day trading robot focused on Canadian (TSX) market conditions. It's been wildly successful closing positions on a nightly basis and exploiting market patterns that work at a scale that I care about.

It's also proved an excellent toy for me to constantly retool and play with new languages, frameworks, and databases. Couldn't be happier.

People like talking about things they are passionate about. For better or worse, climbing is the new "Tech Basic" thing to do, where lots of people in tech are recently getting into it, and therefore excited about it. It's a natural consequence, and a fact of human existence. People talk about their pets a lot because they spend a lot of time and energy with their pets. Same for kids. Same for programmers (who do it beyond work).
"airplane mode means no transmission. The phone can still receive and might be remotely activated by a so-called silent text."

I don't think that's workable.

Remember, the phone is not a walkie-talkie - it's a node on a cellular network and has to participate on that network to be addressable and receive messages.

This means it is answering status requests, sending ACKs, etc. In order to receive a text, the phone has to be sending TX outward.

Is it possible that there could be a phone network built to send RX only transmissions to network nodes (handsets) that were otherwise silent ? Sure - but I don't believe any of the GSM/3G/LTE specs define any such behavior.

In short, if your phone is truly in an RX mode, I don't think it can receive a SMS - or participate on the cellular network in any way.
