Paypal do it. When you hook up an account they send 5p or something, and require the transaction code number for validating the account.

Seems like if the banks cared they could add a very similar process for adding personal transfers, and mostly automate it for their customers. Except it's customer money being lost so the impetus is not there.

I've been trying to get out of development for the last month. I've sent 180 CVs for business analyst roles. I've had 2 recruiters call me back, otherwise dead. This is the CV that the CTO of my last company helped me write. You don't get many ex technical product managers or business analysts because it's pretty much impossible to transition.
I'm sure you could probably get that to work with FUSE.
I totally sympathize with this. As the creator of PyTorch Lightning I focused on the user experience FIRST. Too many times, it seems, engineers forget that NOT everyone using these frameworks are engineers. It really is a fine balance between being opinionated but no more. But as mentioned here, even though Lightning has seen dramatic adoption, there were a few times when the result was judged on the simplicity of it without considering the significant amount of time that went into making the API super simple and infinitely flexible.

At least in the PyTorch world, the team's done a phenomenal job at allowing an ecosystem of related projects to contribute to one another and co-exist!
yes It worths, SICP is a great book!, It's the same you are working with Clojure, Javascript or C++.

Its purpose isn't to teach Scheme or Lisp but it is to teach a bunch of techniques and ideas about the state, programming functional, object-oriented, compiler, and interpreters.

We do have our own custom word (piece) embeddings that we have trained on <good query, bad query>-pairs. There are a few more details about it in https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-06/building-a-search-engine-fr....
or just switch nytimes.com to nytimes.com.
I would agree with you.

The only reason I can see for the advice is that the first line does not handle that foo (#) might be other than a string - for example if foo was [1,2,3] you just got [1,2,3,'ooo']. the second line would barf on that.
But if that was the case it is waaaay more readable to explicitly test for that

so yeah, generally not great advice

(#) Holy moly how many times will autocorrect change foo to too!!! stop it!
Pilot training doesn't include teaching math. If you never learned math, you'll wash out of flight school. If you cannot calculate how much fuel you'll need, what your wind drift is, how to distribute the weight, etc., you aren't going to be a pilot.

> Furthermore, testing for pilots isn't just filling out a form; there's a practical test as well as a knowledge test.

You'll never get to the hands on flying part of the test unless you pass ground school tests first. Flying safely and competently is highly technical and nothing like jumping in a car and turning the key. Nobody is going to let you in a cockpit with an excuse like "I don't test well" or "I learn in an alternative fashion" or "I really do know how to fly, the tests are faulty" or the worst of all "I can't handle the stress of a test."

Well the fed is often liquidity of last resort so the question is why they're providing it overnight. The chatter is Deutsche bank is the cause of it which would seem to imply that the problem is contained. Basically banks don't trust each other right now which is what happened before the last tanking but it also happens frequently without tanking. So I don't know what this really signals.

> "I should share and be curious about whether my insights on product and strategy are valuable to the team"

Indeed, and this is how I approach my responsibilities as well. I grew myself in service of the team rather than telling people what to do / not to do.

> Humor your engineers and give them creative ownership over a feature (from suggestion to implementation)- you'll be surprised how effortlessly it comes out.

From firsthand experience, it works well sometimes, and when it works it's really magical. But it unfortunately doesn't work every time, because some folks really just want to be told what to code (don't want to engage), and other folks want to engage but don't have the skills (creativity, awareness of the pros and cons of various relevant UX patterns, user testing, etc). I give as much creative ownership as possible and really wish it could delegate it entirely though (does make my job easier).

That is the wrong question -- if a juror is that certain, pre-trial, that a defendant is guilty, there is no way that the defendant can get a fair trial.
That wasn’t a bug. The ai was silently going “uh huh huh, huh uh, huhuhuhuhhuh” ad infinitum.
What "course" are you referring to? The link goes to an open-source "Real World" app example project. It's a community thing, not owned by any one person or group as far as I know.
Once upon a time jury duty was considered a privilege, a way for upstanding citizens to shape their community. Losing that privilege was a social punishment, and a way to ensure justice was aspirational--lenient and harsh according to how the community expected itself to behave and evolve.

The Magna Carta, which secured the right to a jury trial, only concerned the rights of the landed gentry. The jury trial was about the landed class having the right to deliberate on the disputes of its own members. It was copied from the system used for matters pertaining to Church lands and clerical crimes; matters that were required to be settled by other clergy through a parallel court system administered by the Church, whose rights and powers were derived from papal authority.

This notion isn't entirely antiquated today. Some scholars argue that one of the reasons the American criminal justice system has become so harsh on minorities is because juries are usually composed of members who live in separate communities from the accused. Their interests are in tamping down on crime, with little incentive to consider the disruption caused by wrenching away men and women from the labor pool and their families. According to this perspective, we should maybe return to a system where jury pools are called from much smaller geographical districts--literally the neighborhood where the crime occurred.

When share cropping was still a thing in the South, before penal labor became a state enterprise, and even during slavery, juries were often quite lenient toward the working class, including blacks. (Conviction rates were much closer to parity between white and black defendants!) Jury members knew that the accused likely worked for someone else in the community, and owed debts to others; unnecessary punishment[1] of the accused indirectly punished jury members' friends and families. Things worked similarly at the turn of the 19th century in major cities, when ethnic communities were compact and courts weren't centralized downtown. Jail time meant leaving a wife and kids without needed income, creating an immediate burden on the community (e.g. more expenditures from the neighborhood church's coffers).

If juries were again composed of members from the community directly impacted by a crime, then it might still make sense to penalize felons from serving. Juries would once again be more about the community policing itself, as opposed to today where we principally conceive of juries as impartial and fair (in the roulette sense) adjudicators of guilt and gatekeepers of retributive justice. Fortunately, most crime is still local. "Black-on-black" is a catchphrase today, but crime is generally neighbor-on-neighbor everywhere.

[1] Of course, if you were black then "unnecessary" would need to take into account the need to sow fear in the black community. But so long as slavery and share cropping kept blacks tied to the plantations and farms, that was far less common than in later years when they became more mobile.
As you can see in comparison with a better aging-themed movie this year, "So long, my son", the de-aging effects were far inferior to the traditional aging effects. Taking an old actor and making him young is by far worse than taking a mid-aged actor and making him old.
Esp. if you look at Pesci and his botched up face-lift job 20 years ago. It's ridiculous.

This all forgets about an too unknown rule in production: The viewer is smarter than you. You can easier replace an actor than age or de-age him artificially in post. This was first proved in the famous 50'ies series 'Bewitched', where the main actor had to be replaced after several seasons, to no detrimental effect. This was the biggest show of its time. No CGI needed.

This is a pretty long thread for you to not notice that your data doesn't show an implementation defined behavior difference because it's ... a graph of just one implementation.

1/x has been around as an approximation used in the overwhelming majority of floating point division units for a long time, even before the SSE instruction came about, so I'm pretty dubious that either Intel or AMD is changing their answers. Perhaps you could prove it.

When Hong Kong disorders started, I tried to understand why, but on the news of my country there wasn't any information about the motivation of that, moreover articles were written to tell in surreptitious way that the movement was an attempt of organized crime to avoid extradition law. I had to research on foreign press. My country has strong economic relations with China.
It's not so much large strings as lots of concatenation; aggregating all the substrings into a list and joining saves allocations and at least at one point in time it gave a huge speedup on a number of large systems. While Python's overall performance has improved since then, my understanding is that creating lots of strings and incrementally assembling the allocating and dropping lots of progressively-larger items is still often a significant performance hit.
it's kind of a strange point to make, but I think you're right
Mypy sometimes uses init files to understand internal imports.
Eh, it’s not as one-sided as that. GCC has a larger number of targets, but LLVM supports several newer targets that GCC doesn’t, like WebAssembly and eBPF (although the latter is coming in GCC 10). But it would certainly be nice for Rust to support both sets of targets.

I don’t believe a workaround had been posted at the time I posted. I also attempted to try outline, but got an error on their site for the URL (something along the lines of url not valid for outline).

Is hn open source? If so, I’d love to try and contribute something perhaps that would allow users to filter out stories with a user-managed url blacklist. Seems like a reasonably simple solution. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the info regardless; I’ll refrain from complaining about paywalls from here on out (although, to be fair, this wasn’t a blanket complaint about paywalls; I’d asked if there was some type of filter I didn’t know about and proposed a possible solution).
Just don't use TikTok. The whole purpose of this app is to gather a huge amount of behavioral data (about various themes and topics and how you react to them), enabling China to do political message targetting on par with what Cambridge Analytica did.
So maybe that should inform the powers that be, that the canonical URL should be the one that's used by default?
They've started requiring a telephone number to see nsfw images.
Clang has this too.
> It's surprising to me that Python, as focused as its philosophy is on providing canonical solutions to problems, doesn't have a "python -m newproject". There must be a good reason.

The reason is probably related to the perennial python packaging problem; many of the projects offering solutions to that problem have their own project generator bundled.
This wasn’t an egregious “wah, paywall” comment. I asked if there was a way to filter these out that maybe I didn’t know about and asked about there being a solution to the issue with some type of bot.
First off, I have to admit to a bit of snark when writing that up yesterday tbh and completely forgot about folks reporting some Nessus output etc. I'm absolutely with you when it comes to that type of automated tool and reporting, thanks for separating that.

The Uber one is actually a great example of wording I can appreciate. I was thinking of one like Verizon Media's ( https://hackerone.com/verizonmedia ).

> Do not use automated scanners/tools - these tools include payloads that could trigger state changes or damage production systems and/or data.

Unlike Uber's that's just a blanket statement and while I'm sure nobody wants to use it in that way (I actually like H1 acting as proxies for that alone, they surely mean something very similar to the example you posted), it's unrealistic and could make pretty much any attack ineligible.

All that being said, at least the change to H1s own policy let's people know where they draw the line. Maybe I should change my mind, not every program has to be relevant to everybody at the end of the day.
The objectivity you are assigning to the world of waking state is also subject to your mind. Different kinds of minds experience the world differently. Scientific investigation confirms us that the object we experience do not exist like that; it's just set of atoms which are empty by their nature. There's nothing solid or liquid in actual, it's our mind way of interpreting the input from senses that makes us experience solidity/etc.

Regarding the persistency argument, the waking world seems persistent to you because it has a longer duration relative to your dream. Sometimes we dream in a dream and experience continuity of the dream-world as well. There are stories of people experiencing years of life in dreaming [0] which confirms that continuity in dream is also possible.

That said, I'm not trying to prove that waking and dreaming state are literally the same. The idea is to ponder on the generality behind waking and dreaming states and question/contemplate on the true nature of reality. Do we not observe that it's the mind which seems to be the cause of us experiencing both these states the way we experience them? If so and if the dream seems to be our personal creation then the question arises what if the waking world is a our collective (cosmic) mind dream? If it's a cosmic dream then we can start deducing answers such as there cannot be any boundary to the universe because it's all in mind as a reflection. And multiverse is also possible as the same cosmic mind can dream N number of worls/universes as it's not bound by any real material quantity.

There have been interesting books [1] written on this subject going very deep into above idea which also talk about methods to realize it as experience rather than just as an intelectual exercise.

That's wrong.

C++ object lifetime management is much more tricky and error prone than the Rust one.

Passing an object by reference to lambda by default can be a beautiful source of out of scope and default.

This is a really confusing post on a lot of levels. I think that some refinement in your pitch would go a long way. Some of the questions that arise after reading your post are:

* If you're a startup scrambling for traction, why are you so particular about the method by which your partners' services are delivered? What's so special about REST APIs? Why do you care if it's compute-bound? Shouldn't you be willing to work with anyone?

* What value do you actually offer? I'm not sure if you're an API integrator, a billing backend person, a contract sales team, or what.

* You specialize in connecting API publishers to business users, but you're on HN asking for SW companies. If this is your specialty shouldn't you already know? Or do you have a deep list of businesses with validated needs? The impression you're giving here is that you don't actually have ANY clients on either side of this transaction. I'm left wondering if there is a similar post on a business-focused message board somewhere.

I've re-written your pitch as an example. I don't know if this is anything close to what you actually do, but hopefully it's illustrative: "Hi! We're a new startup in the cloud computing space. We take high performance hardware and manage it for other software companies... we're like AWS EC2, but focused exclusively on compute-bound workloads (and we're less expensive too). If you sell your services through an API, we've also built a nifty service layer to automate all your security, logins, and billing. We take care of all the paperwork so you can focus on running your service. We're looking for more partners, so please take a look at our beta [insert link here]. We'd love to hear your feedback. If you send me a PM, I'll also get you 50% off your first 3 months. Thanks!"

Anyway, hope that's at least somewhat helpful.

Garbage.

You can look at countries without high levels or any education in existence today. They are far more Indoctrinated. They are far less free thinking.

Even in a strict religious school I would say every year of education makes a person less indoctrinated. The things you have to learn like science outweigh that years negatives whatever that maybe.

Could you improve the education system.... yes... we all know that. But are not sure how.

The idea about Japan not being scientific is however very interesting for 1989. The meme they are technologically advanced isn't really correct, it's almost a racist mythology.

Well, considering I met Iverson, attended many if his lectures during conferences in the early ‘80’s, actually used APL professionally for about ten years —including using it for a system involved in the race to decode the human genome— and even published a paper and gave a lecture at an APL conference...

Still, I appreciate the misinformed down-votes. Always good fun.

The number of people on HN who talk about APL as though they actually understood what they are talking about seems to increase with time. It’s like watching people have opinionated discussions about SQL when they’ve only read about it, googled a few articles and tried it for half an hour.
I really like your approach here.

There is one thing, I find very nice in Rails and other MVC projects and this is a standardized project setup. You can still bend and break the rules, but the mental effort is so much reduced and the programmer is able to concentrate more on code and doesn't need to think about structuring.
I think the term lingua franca is most often used to indicate a commonly understood language, not one that everybody actively uses.

Six of the eight most popular programming languages (from https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/) have C-like syntax. I think most people would agree.

Edit: I think that in this context, Reelin's comment is more appropriate: This is not about understanding, but about interoperability.
That's not comparable at all. Patent trolls send legal threats and sometimes file lawsuits. DMCA abusers do neither.
