I wrote libtmux (https://libtmux.git-pull.com) as a way to control tmux via python objects.

In the backend, it's all tmux CLI commands.

tmuxp (https://tmuxp.git-pull.com), similar to tmuxinator, uses libtmux under the hood to build workspaces from a yaml/json file: https://github.com/tmux-python/tmuxp/blob/master/tmuxp/works...

Despite that, I've found some people prefer just using plain tmux scripting (https://twitter.com/bitprophet/status/561356905843392514). Aside: That's Jeff Forcier, creator of fabric (http://www.fabfile.org/)

Through tmux's formats (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/tmux.1.html#FORMATS), you can about any info you'd like on your workspace.

An area I don't know about is -C (control mode). libtmux could technically use it to get live updates rather than inefficiently and possibly needlessly querying session/window/pane info to keep objects up to date. Apparently iterm2's tmux integration uses it.
There is also coinjoin which is a service that mixes your coins with other participants. I also heard the Lightning network which operates on some kind of application level provides some kind of extra obfuscation.
It’s also very insulting to imply that all some group of people is likely doing all day is throwing heaps of coal into a furnace. Even most seemingly simple blue collar jobs are usually pretty detailed and complex in their own way.
Is it too late to change it? I’ve worked at a few agencies for a lot of companies using Redux. Teaching people to think of actions as events instead of setters has been a huge pain point.

I would seriously suggest just find and replace the word action with event within Redux and the docs. Maybe have one page explaining the history behind this.
Don’t listen to the haters ranting against astrology. They are computer science types for the most part and are jealous, seeing that computer science itself sits somewhere between astrology and numerology, without the popularity of the former or the formality of the latter.
was it hidden in the contract? just curious the extent of the lying.
This is not what anonymity looks like brother. Your IP address is not what links you to your bitcoin. It's your bitcoin address. And since we have a running ledger of all transactions, anyone can write a small script to trace your coins once they know even one of your addresses.

The work around for this is what they call a coin tumbler - it takes your coins and those of say 5 more people, mixes them up real nice by moving them around a couple of wallets in many complicated transactions and then hands them back to a wallet you want from thousands of these mixed up addresses.

I'm really interested in learning Flutter for future app development as I could really use the time saved in development. But, one thing which really concerns me is the volatility of Google w.r.t products which doesn't get enough adoption i.e. in other words 'I'm afraid Google will kill Flutter'.

I agree as well. I think the computer and internet unlock new methods to teach people but these new methods are rarely used effectively. I think codecademy does a good job at at least showing that online learning can be effective.

Online teaching should have more focus on analysis of student data, more direct student interaction, more customized tools to help students learn and so on.

The point is Mozilla, Apple and Adobe did enormous work on JS before Chrome was released.

nbody and Fannkuch are meaningless for real world performance on a client side JS app. V8s benchmarks were widely considered to be unrepresentative of what browsers actually do. Sunspider and derivatives were the most realistic tests at the time and Chrome wasn’t a dramatic improvement.

Chrome’s marketing was incredibly successful in getting more people to use a browser better than IE but it didn’t have a dramatic improvement over FF or Safari.

I doubt the veracity of the factoids of this article. For example, more recent studies have shown there is no safe level of alcohol consumption that improves health overall. And, if someone were looking for resveratrol as a rationalization to drink red wine, maybe they should just take resveratrol itself rather than take on the rest of the anti-nutrient ingredients and alcohol side-effects? But that doesn’t fit in bullshit soundbite Twitter-length articles, does it?

This is a post written by a crypto company, which has all its interest in keeping it alive. Hopefully 2020 will be a watershed movement in crypto world and people will stop calling a peer to peer distributed exchange mechanism by names similar to money.

Crypto is not money and company like coinbase thrive on that information asymmetry because a normal person do not understand that cryptocurrency is not really a money,but a network of computers trying to fix some arbitrary value to a sequence of string which are worthless in themselves if not widely used for exchange of goods and services.

Hopefully in 2020 peer to peer exchange of good and services evolve and companies like coinbase don’t need to exist (this was the true purpose of distributed currency to get rid of companies like coinbase and being hold hostage by them by keeping wallets under their supervision without liability unlike the way bank maintains account with liability and protection).
I’ve always wondered about that stat. What does “watch porn” mean? 1x a year? 1x a month? 1x a week? I think people assume the rate is higher than it really is.

> I stand by my assessment that the TypeScript language may have a low or even negative return on investment. It could hurt rather than improve your productivity, and if you’re already using great bug prevention measures such as TDD, code review, and design review, coding in TypeScript is unlikely to provide a significant bug reduction benefit.

Totally lost me at this line. Yes TDD and code/design review are important but a strong type system absolutely reduces an entire category of stupid bugs. It also makes sure those bugs stay fixed later on when you change a method signature and get immediate feedback on what broke. Recommending to the contrary strikes me as irresponsible and naive.
the contracts were standard release forms for people that arent part of guilds, the court looked at the coercion

My team built the OS on a custom fork of Android (https://www.sanctuary.computer).

I would say ask me anything but I’m in the middle of the Australian outback with virtually no mobile signal...!

What I can say is that working with Eink is rudimentary - we had to build everything from a custom kernel driver all the way up to the view layouts and UX. We expected Eink would give us sophisticated SDKs, but unfortunately a lot of wheels had to be reinvented. I have huge respect for the team behind the Yota Phone!

I’ve written a tear down of how it all works that I’ll be sharing soon on our company twitter if anyone is interested.

The relevant question for a politician shouldn't be "Can they program?" but rather "Can they program in a way that produces enough value to a company per day to justify a wage that the person can live off?".

One limiting factor in that calculation might be not just the speed/skill of the programmer, but the number of companies with such positions available.
What’s the point of the loan then? Why not just use the collateral at 0%?
Absolutely. I hate everything to do with smoking/vaping and drugs in general, but when it comes to policy, I go based on harm to others. Smoking has real harm to others, but vaping is pretty much harmless.
I have no affiliation with Vivaldi, but they don't receive any revenue from webmail and I don't think they plan to.

Vivaldi monetizes the browser. Specifically, they receive money from search engine providers by including them in the browser by default, like DDG, Bing, Ecosia, etc. (except Google; they don't receive any money from Google, but include it anyway due to popularity). They also receive money from the default bookmarks/favorites that are included in a fresh install, like eBay, Amazon, Kayak, etc.

I don't get it. While it is better than an iPhone by having a headphone jack. Still who is the market here? Someone who doesn't want to use a phone much but can't pull themselves away from it or cutstomize an android phone to not bother them.
She is going for point out the snake oil gimmicks that ed tech is known for these days. Most of it seems to be either composed of cash grabs for VC money or some sort of government grant money.
I would do the following:

- Manually scan through a couple of hours of data and setup a human baseline.

- Run standard algorithms and find their accuracy.

- Find errors in the model and analyze why the errors are happening. Is the model classifying some other object as a supervisor? Is the model not classifying the supervisor in certain lighting conditions or scenarios.

- Retrain the model with the failure scenarios so that it learns.
Translating that into Haskell, I get:

check_each :: Int -> [Int] -> Bool -> Int -> (Bool,Bool,Int)
check_each x (y:_) _ last | y==x && x==last = (True,False,x)
check_each x (y:_) _ last | y>x && x==last = (True,True,x)
check_each x (y:_) found _ | y>x = (True,found,x)
check_each x _ found _ = (False,found,x)

is_valid :: (Bool,Bool,Int) -> [Int] -> Bool
is_valid (False,_,_) _ = False
is_valid (True,True,-1) [_] = False
is_valid (True,True,_) [_] = True
is_valid (True,found,shortDup) (h:t) = is_valid (check_each h t found shortDup) t

which is ugly, certainly, but compiles fine (ghc). The uglyness mainly comes from the data structures, and I don't know enough about the domain to suggest better ones (there might not be better ones).
The battery life must be immense right? AT least one advantage there? How long does it last.
That’s a really good way to look at it. Thanks for the perspective.

The infrastructure and tools are being developed. And please don't say you've been hearing that for 10 years. Literally everything needs to be recreated from the ground up for a new protocol and financial system. This takes a lot of discussion on proposals, development, and testing. Not to mention that all improvements are being done on a live system so everything needs to be backwards compatible.

I'm not sure how you're realistically expecting a single person to walk into some 3 story club in the middle of Tampas club district and ask for cigarettes to be banned when every other club allows them. I'd be laughed out of whatever weird fish-tank backed club-boss room they let me in.

I mean, maybe it's worth trying but it just seems astronomically impossible to me.
That sounds promising! Wish you the best of luck, and I hope to read about your project when it’s live.
Don't know if it counts, but I sold my house for 40% more than I bought it 5 years ago. Combination of market appreciation in the area and strategic improvements.

Also, I wrote a tech book a few years ago and still get a couple hundred bucks every quarter.

In that case, Putting the phone in DND mode 24x7 and only using it only when we need it exponentially limits phone usage and interruptions.

But, not many can afford having their phone in DND mode all the time due to their job/family requirements(I do it and I've read few others on HN doing it). Then again, there are jobs which require you to install apps on your personal device or at-least communication apps like Slack, Teams etc.; In those case even Light Phone cannot be used.
And even if they do, contracts dont always represent the actual agreement being made [0]. As someone who does actually read contracts, most of the time they are generic contracts for the general thing you are agreeing to, and reflect none of the specific details (and sometimes contradict the specific details).

[0] Of course, absent compelling evidence to this effect, courts would look to the contract to determine what agreement was made, so if you care about the innacurate provisions, do not sign until they are corrected.
> You have a stochastic estimate since your loss is generally additive in the data.

Just to be clear, additive loss doesn't imply stochastic gradient estimate. Rather, because the loss function is additive, then stochastic gradient estimates of the loss are now possible. But, this of course does not mean one has to use stochastic gradient estimates.

It's just that it's easier to update and monitor progress this way, rather than computing the gradient term for every single example in the training set and then taking a descent step. The surprising thing is that stochastic gradient descent convergences quickly in practice relative to proper gradient descent. All of the justification and whatnot for SGD for ML is largely post-hoc because it works so unreasonably well and is so intuitive to anyone having taken calculus.

The other aspect (with respect to the context of optimization in machine learning) is that this optimization is performed over a loss over a training dataset for which you really don't even want convergence to an exact minima over the training loss. What you really care about is the expected generalization loss. Convergence to the exact minima over training loss doesn't necessarily guarantee the best generalization loss. I mention this because it contributes to the general aloofness towards optimization convergence rates in ML.

> I believe many have investigated quasi-Newton methods based on estimate gradients but I haven’t investigated that thoroughly.

Until semi-recently, quasi-newton was not explored in the stochastic setting because of the question of how to extend the Wolfe conditions to this arena. There's been a bit of work on this [1], but I don't think it's caught on outside of the optimization community (not that it necessarily should considering the points above).

I agree that Khan Academy is pretty decent but these days the project appears to have lost its direction. Most videos are low quality and could be improved. This non-profit has received millions in donations but has little to show for it. Most of the money appears to have been spent on programmers/web devs to simply organize Khan's already created videos. Some decent work went into the little math problem software as well.
According to the website's FAQ, 1-3 days.

Well they're using Android so... Probably not much. Display isn't that important to battery life (unless you're using it all the time.)
Lynda became successful because companies gave it to their employees to boost up their skills...which I think might be an untapped potential market for ed tech. How about making very high quality courses that aren't sold to students. They're sold to companies which in turn make their employees take the courses and so on.

Both the US and EU has put heavy tariffs on Chinese made ebikes. That has caused domestic manufacturers to increase their prices too.
I agree this makes no sense, i pay the subscription fee so that I can get service when I need it.

One medical advantage is if I feel sore/sick I can always get a same day appointment and they treat me like a person .... which is a huge advantage.

I tried HMO and my "doctor" needed a minimum of 30 days notice to see me .... basically not helpful for being sick
For me, one reason is that One Medical's doctor/patient communication platform is secure and provides a solid customer experience.

This might sound like a nit, but the previous primary care doctor I went to in the Bay Area emailed me a follow-up message in the form of a Word document—which mistakenly included several pages of someone else's medical information, too.
Your comment sounds like a priest delivering a sermon. No sources to back your argument up and also you missed a large fact that Bitcoin just doesn't scale for any of the applications you've outlined.
you can inspect it yourself, I assume the format is the demo record which has been available in source games since decades
This. Unless you work on internal projects, more than likely you’re going to have to dig much deeper to achieve custom styling and animations. I only have experience in iOS, Android and react native, but it’s so much easier to get there with react native. It would have been more useful to see how other cross platform solutions deal with custom styles and come to a conclusion that includes trade offs between them.
I should've phrased that better. What I meant was to assume consumer affordable storage space will increase in size exponentially i.e. if we pay $0.01 / GB today, we should be paying fractions of that fraction in a year (because obviously "exponential" is loose term here).

> (ignoring things like High Frequency Trading)

HFT is not a blockchain transaction. They are off blockchain transactions entirely because they trade money between bitcoin / other cryptos and dollars.

> there is only a limited number of potential active crypto-currency users

My entire point is that this limits them from growing. If the blockchain is kept from exploding, it helps to onboard more users.

> Would you say that the credit card network, or PayPal, has exponentially increasing storage requirements?

Indeed not. But their user base is now standardised. So they have a predictable number of transactions every second. However, their storage requirements are still obviously industrial grade server farms. The point of bitcoin is that everyone should have a copy of every transaction (excluding lightning network transactions). You see the connection? Not all of us can have our own server farms. If we all wants to store every transaction in the way the parent of my previous comment alluded to (increase block size), each of us will need our own mini server farm i.e. exponential storage growth.

> It's possible for Bitcoin (for example) to be decentralised and useful to the world and only require linearly increasing storage space.

Yes. It'll level off at some point. But we are far, faaar away from that point. So it'll take quite a while before it levels off.

Tablet is useful but the problem is there is not enough ed tech software out there that really takes advantage of its potential. Best use I've seen is interactive kid's reading books. Teaches the kid to learn how to read and makes it fun.
