Functional code would be totally different, I guess.
Nim (which is inspired in part by Pascal and Ada) uses “a..b” to denote a closed interval and a..<b to denote an interval half-open on the right.

The language is flexible enough to also let you define a<..b and a<.<b to complete the quartet, but I don’t know if anyone who ever did.
I implied, perhaps unclearly, that it would be a half-measure that I'm not married to. And, I wonder how or why Japan is so set on spending trillion/s of yen on building-out an entirely new infrastructure without any significant commitment to it from any other major country. I surmise one else is committing because rehabilitating the existing electricity grid with renewables seems the most sensible energy infrastructure policy, while grand, big dreams upfront is ri$ky.
And now the HN mods have flagged this comment as off-topic, which causes it to be collapsed by default for all viewers of this thread. Everyone needs to specifically click the [+X] on it to even be able to read it.

Regardless of that, it seems like you're upset because of some mistaken expectations of what HN is for. It's not trying to be a "general purpose" site where you should expect to be able to discuss any and all topics. It has a pretty narrow focus, and users tend to aggressively flag posts about anything without a clear connection to the set of subjects that they feel "belong" here.

You shouldn't try to treat HN as a place where you'll be able to find general news about the world or discuss anything in particular, no matter how important you feel it is. It's a good site for its particular niche, but you're going to end up with a myopic view if you aren't also using other sites too.
This should account for shipping prices, because sellers use them to game the system.

It was nice of the creators to mention their dataset (2018 IPUMS dataset), but can anyone tell me what frameworks are used to create this?
To me learning cause-and-effect is a non trivial process, when recognizing relationship often comes first and intrigues "formal" reasoning process afterwards (if any).

The more formal in the later process, the closer we reach to the real "knowledge". So your suggestion is quite practical, in the sense that we can start from that and figure out how to push the engine toward the more formal spectrum.
I wonder if Brad has any idea how many lives he's affected.

At some point in 2013, I was a Linux sysadmin with 20 years of work under my belt and rapidly burning out, seeing the DevOps movement approach and feeling outmoded. I couldn't code. I saw a post here on HN about Brad's rewriting of Google's download system in Go and was intrigued. That night, almost out of a job and feeling like I had nothing left to lose, I sat down and started to learn Go. Hoping to write a control system for a high altitude balloon, I started writing a little every night after work. Soon, I attended The first Gophercon and really fell in love.

From there, doors started opening for me. I left the sysadmin job and got a job as a DevOps engineer. Wrote more and more Go. Better jobs and better pay followed. Job interviews became something to look forward to, not fear.

Anyway, it was Brad's blog entry that inspired me and totally changed my life. Things are amazing today. Thanks, Brad.
Well, Firefox randomizes some of the fields, so of course there are unique hits. Consider Audio/Video codec hashes. Firefox provides a unique number so this website says I"m unique, but I'm unique every time someone asks! This site is kinda misleading, but still very useful.
> First of all, most helicopters are not flown IFR.

I hadn't realized you can be a commercial helicopter pilot without an instrument rating. It's very different to fixed-wing.

And most helicopters aren't even capable of IFR, as I understand it. LAPD's choppers were grounded, not because the pilots aren't IFR certified, but because the helicopters aren't.

This helicopter was capable of IFR, but usually with two pilots, not one. The US is an outlier in allowing single-pilot IFR on these if they've had an avionics upgrade -- Canada wouldn't allow it.

Along with the delays due to clearance and rerouting if they'd filed IFR, they would also have been frustrated by not being able to go where they wanted to go: there's no instrument approach to Kobe's Mamba Sports Academy, they'd have to divert to find an airport to land at.

Some wise old man told me that "everything has a purpose, even if it's just to be the 'before' exhibit". I saved a piece of a Zune review from when the Zune debuted.

This is Andy Ihnatko, on the Zune:

"Avoid," is my general message. The Zune is a square wheel, a product that's so absurd and so obviously immune to success that it evokes something akin to a sense of pity...

Yeah, the Zune has a lot to teach us. I doubt anyone other than Linux fanatics among us will take the lesson.
>- Animal protein production should be curtailed almost entirely.

I could see all the other stuff happening in my lifetime, but not this. There is simply no way that we will find a way to create animal proteins in enough quantities in a way that's safe and as nutritious that people will trust to eat. Perhaps some future society might have it, but definitely not ours in the foreseeable future.

That's the line they're giving out, anyway. I'm curious to see if it's just a ruse to keep some employees around and keep customers coming in paying full price as they clear the shelves before something else like complete shutdown.

So wait, in a 3+ lane setup in the UK, both the middle lane and the rightmost are only for passing? That seems weird to me.

Reason for the CA rules is that, in the US, the rightmost lane is where all the entrance and exit ramps are, so you often have people speeding up or slowing down as they enter and exit. Rather than have to do a ton of lane changes to pass people as they merge on, the advice to stay in the middle lane if you just want to stay a constant speed is so you don't have to deal as much with people entering and exiting your lane.
Do you have any numbers for that, because I really doubt it. HVDC has really low losses, natural gas leaks already when you get it out of the Earth.

You can always bury your lines if you want them protected from the elements.
In the context of a simple game, global state is good design. (Maybe less so in Python than in some other languages, because Python’s variable scoping is a bit odd.) This applies even in a commercial setting.

If the objective is to teach the benefits of avoiding global state, it may be more effective to pick a project type for which that is a correct design choice.
The list is not comprehensive.

I was at an Amazon all-hands years ago (I haven't worked there for years) and I saw an employee ask Bezos what Amazon was going to do about the poor quality of search. Bezos brushed off the criticism and said the search team did good work.

I don't know why. Maybe he earnestly thinks it's good, or just has different priorities. But I don't expect it to get better.

A few hundred years ago people came to America with nothing. They were starving, diseased, and absolutely poor. They busted ass and eked out a better existence every generation. These cities didn't just magically pop into existence it's the product of hard work and being a good person and citizen. Don't throw trash on the ground, don't cheat people in business, look out for others and your family. From my travels I have seen most places have horrible corruption where it's hard to make it as a honest person. A huge part of the overall prosperity of the US is from the fact that nobody is a king, with hard work you can make it. Instead of putting people down try and help lift everyone up.

There is a lot of hardship on Earth that I would give anything to fix. I can only do my best to be a good person and treat others well and hopefully if we all do the same our grandchildren will be that much closer to paradise.

I ran btrfs on a laptop. 2 things.

Once I ended up with a bunch of zero length files (presumably metadata was written before content?).

I also, multiple times ended up with errors related to full drives despite by drive not being full. Deleting snapshots seemed to help.

Then I went to a zfs fs on root and never had another problem.

Does Netflix Stock Have Long-Term Potential?
In the early and mid 90s I was playing a lot of Zelda, Super Mario World, and Mario Kart on SNES, but also had a Genesis, then a Saturn, and a PS2, then N64... ;)

Definitely watched a lot of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network too.

I really wouldn't point to modern video games as the blame, look more toward how the food has changed.

Have there been any cases of counterfeit hard drives? I have heard of USB drives rigged to report incorrect free space, but I haven't heard of the same for hard drives.

Hard drives are a little different in that it's not something that countless chinese companies make and is mostly differentiated by brand. There are only a handful of companies that actually make hard drives and prices are all pretty similar.
People forgot that during the vCJD epidemic (possibly still ongoing? About 1/2000 living Britons have the scrapie protein in their blood) the disease had (and still does have) a 100.00% fatality rate and no treatment or management except checking into a hospice.

100.00% invariably fatal no treatment. And people generally speaking were utterly indifferent about it and forgot it!
He once said something along the lines of “if Shaq approached conditioning and practice the way he (Kobe) did they would have won at least ten titles in a row.”

I can’t help but wonder what might have been if Shaq followed Kobe’s lead in this regard instead of becoming the player he did.
Anecdote. I swore off spinning disks for my PC years ago, but I've been a bit cheap and recently got fed up with my 500GB "storage" drive always being near full and my work VM as well :/ So I finally went onto Google to look into storage and was absolutely, postively, shocked that I somehow missed the whole m.2 nvme surge. So much so that I got a 1TB 970 EVO for just $170. Nearly 500k random IOPS with qd32, and 3.5GB/s and 2.5GB/s sequential read/write?! Yes please.

I was even able to jump through hoops to get bitlocker working with hardware encryption, so I'm getting full disk encryption at nearly spec speeds. Awesomeness.

EDIT: It's a shame the situation with RAID controller software, drivers, and physical controllers is such a crap show ATM. Doing anything "enterprise" with them seems a bit of a cluster F ATM. Anyone know what's up with that?
If you're genuinely interested, the recently published book "Strong Towns" is the best possible primer. It's not long, and covers the core ideas behind the movement in enough detail to understand how it all hangs together.
Up to a week? They can do it in the store the same day if you make an appointment.
I don't know if it ever worked; it's certainly not worked for a long time. I recall thinking that amazon is very good at optimizing things, but their targets are different from mine.

They can get away with it, because we still use them, I guess.

co-mingling is mostly opt-in, unless that has changed. And I doubt they are co-mingling high dollar products, nor should anyone be dumb enough to do that. You usually only co-mingle to avoid the effort of putting individual sku stickers on each item which makes sense for very low priced items.
ZFS is the only FS I used that resulted in complete FS corruption, losing nearly all data on disk (only once though).

Actually android is perfectly fine with you doing MiTM on your own traffic. If you had issues with it then it's mean app developers intentionally implemented certificate pinning to stop you from doing it. Yet Google / Android have nothing to do with it.
We don't know how many quit to get to the worker that implemented this. The thing is, it doesn't stop with the first person that quits, it goes forward with the first person that says "yes".
>it's easy to see that generating 100% of your own energy from renewables will be more economically stable and sustainable in the long term.

Is it though? Europe doesn't seem like a particularly good spot spot for renewable energy. We've already put hydro pretty much everywhere we can, but the rest needs to be covered by pretty subpar options. Europe is further north than the US, which makes solar much less appropriate of a choice. Europe is also a lot smaller with more population density and that makes wind more difficult to do.

We still have plenty of unnncessary smog. This is not over.
Malnutrition and famine have nothing to do with food supply and everything to do with distribution, governmental insecurity, and violence. If there were no wars or corrupt governments then we would successfully feed the world and eliminate famine. It would not require people on cruise ships to tighten their belts, either.
To add to the confusion, you’ll get genuinely different answers in America and Europe.
I’m not into celebrities nor am I a Laker fan —- really the opposite — but this has hit me more than I expected. One of the best comments I’ve seen is about how Kobe more or less achieved self actualization. He willed himself to be one of the greatest ever at his craft and was on his way to doing it again off the court while being what I can see from the outside as an amazing dad. It’s sad to see someone with so much to give the world life’s cut way short.

Ya, contract issues for a very specific reason. They are trying to switch to a full "consignment" model. So they want the manufacturers to give them all the inventory for free and they'll just return what doesn't sell later. So manufacturers are likely very disinterested in that model.
Yes, the UK highway code rule 264 says:

"You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past."

When I learned to drive (many years ago), the guidance was more specific: the middle lane for overtaking a vehicle, and the right-most lane for overtaking multiple vehicles.

I guess my point is that once you figure out that you need to bandaid the problem by giving yourself insulin, it can be fixed. Honestly when it gets to that point the doctor should be telling you that you need to reverse course asap.
How about A/B testing for increases in usage, ads-clicks, subscription signups, and lack of subscription cancellations? How about PR consisting pretty much of finding favorable journalists who will provide positive pre-vetted coverage of feature launches? How about VC-fueled price-dumping to squash competition and build a monopoly? How about paying phone manufacturers, browsers, etc. to become preloaded apps or default search engines?

The impacts aren't nearly as harmful in tech as in pharmaceuticals, but there are a lot of practices in our industry which we all accept as normal procedure but would seem very ethically questionable to an outsider.
I was there too when someone asked why Google seemed to always have better search results for Amazon.com than Amazon itself, and I remember he said that if you always start searching on Amazon and only fall back to Google when you don't like Amazon's results, you'll notice when Amazon has poor results and Google has good results, but not the reverse. Something of a copout perhaps, but I thought it was an astute observation.

As always, many of these quantities are gross approximations, modeled as continuous improvement instead of step functions, and often missing out on where performance has permanently plateaued. Looking at the numbers for any one year is a waste of time. Only the long-term trends are instructive, particularly where operations trade place in rankings (eg. due to bandwidth increases with constant latency).

There's also something fishy about the scrolling in the source code box.
I think there's money to be had. Insurance covers assistive devices for the blind like screen readers, which can be quite expensive. I can't find data on how many completely blind people there are in the developed world (many, like my mom, use a blind cane but can still read with their peripheral vision and large print), but I imagine there'd be enough to support a small start-up.
You can also get screwed for "new" drives. It depends on whether Amazon gates "new" sales of hard drives and even then, there are likely people gaming the system to get un-gated to sell them. All it takes is the original box and some shrink wrap to make a refurbished drive "new".

In my experience, the best approach is to treat the notebook as the frontend. So widgets, graphs, annotations are generally ok. Anything compute intensive should be relegated to the backend.

Counting from 0, 2019 would still be the 19th year of the 21st century. I'm puzzled why you completely changed grammar to make it seem like counting from zero also solved the century mismatch. If anything it suggests that counting from 1 is more consistent. Then 2020 is year 20 of century 20.

But then 2000 becomes year 0 of century 20, which is confusing English. But "century 20" isn't great English anyway. Calendars should be 0-based like any other measuring tool. The 3rd minute of the 2nd hour of a marathon is 1:02. The 3rd day of the 2nd month of my marathon is 1/02. If that happens to be the 3rd day of the second month of the year, it's 2/03?

UK motorway junctions are all equipped with long sliproads. Generally you're supposed to do all your accelerating or braking on the sliproad when you join or leave the motorway, although traffic conditions can obviously prevent this.

With that said, in free-flowing traffic, it can be incredibly dangerous when people fail to follow this protocol, and I often wish there was more enforcement.
Living car-free for about 5 years I _dreaded_ whenever I'd need to rent a car. Cars that were good enough for rural driving were $$$ and often not available, so I was stuck with super compact cars for $$. Plus the whole experience of renting cars is awful.

And that was with renting a car ~3 times per year. If I wanted even monthly trips it would have been cheaper to buy a car and park it the rest of the time.
I do a lot of shucking of external hard drives and I have never come across a 7200rpm drive. They are always 5400. But they are sometimes the higher quality drives in that speed range.
Official brands with their own store can opt out of commingling. I've confirmed this with a friend who works on the retail side of Amazon.
