Decoding JSON is surprisingly intensive. Check out this to see what's going on with it in Dotnet: https://michaelscodingspot.com/the-battle-of-c-to-json-seria... .

Node.js will have that issue and in fact the stdlib JSON encoding/decoding can't even be paused so once you start a processing something you're stuck until it's done. You could, however, write an incremental serializer/deserializer that could spread processing out across many event loop cycles to mitigate.

Go, ASP.NET, and others not so much, depending, because the schedulers can pause and resume the tasks(on top of being threaded).
There are multiple presumptive cases of students with COVID-19 on campus. They have been quarantined. An email was sent out about this.

That's not what I'm saying at all and it's dumbfounding to me that I am getting such a pile on to try to shut me up by probably all men trying to claim there's no sexism here.
My framing actually assumes positive intent gone wrong and suggests that if there is positive intent, this is not a best practice.

Entire audience hears "Some whiny bitch reading in sexism where there is none and that needs to be shut down cuz reasons."

And therein lies the problem.

But I promised myself I wasn't going to be dragged into some shitshow. I knew no matter how carefully I worded it, it was likely to get ugly pushback and not get good faith engagement.

So I'm out of here. Thanks.
They are ... ticket prices are down.
The product is fantastic, but don't expect upgrades to work.

0.11->0.12 totally hosed me. Not necessarily because of TF itself, but because of the scaleway provider I was using changed everything around such that coming up with the right state file that didn't destroy all my existing instances, was very difficult. I eventually gave up and found someone to do my hosting for me cause it was just too much work to deal with TF changes over time.

I also feel like the concept of looping is a weird afterthought. I want to create 10 vms of the exact same type. Now I have to build a module for reusability, remember to put count everywhere and use dynamic variables all over the place, after studying all the documentation 1000 times. I wish this had been thought out a bit more.
I don't think this type of criticism is only leveled at women. I think it is

a) much more likely to happen for much softer offenses

b) much more likely to become the primary conversation rather than an aside buried three levels deep in the comments

Perhaps in this instance Rachel's rhetoric was so off-putting that it really deserved top billing for conversation/criticism here. But that doesn't ring true for me, and I sincerely doubt the conversation/top post would be the same if instead written by e.g. Carmack
Empathy is a big part of morality.
Not always possible (weather conditions, snow can be a problem with those), and even with a cart you still have four kids to keep an eye on.
That's true, but it doesn't make this article (or headline) irrelevant. There's relevance in discussion the situation in different contexts.
It would; I'm not saying this is an immutable law of nature. But the threshold is going to be extremely high -- I really, really don't think a .5-1% death rate is going to sway the SC, unless they are convinced that existing measures are utterly incapable of dealing with this.

(And for good reason -- this disease could easily go on for months. If the CDC can call a mandatory quarantine, does that mean it's valid to cancel elections in the interim? For how long? These are real concerns.)
I'm in Beijing, and I spent yesterday afternoon walking through the park. I easily walked pass hundreds of people: it's fairly active. Some people were even gasp removing their masks. Cafes and restaurants are opening again. The big risk for Beijing (and the rest of the country except Wuhan) right now is importation of foreign cases.

It came at significant economic cost, but China's quarantine worked, and the processes established will likely continue to help protect China from another outbreak from re-importation.
It doesn't work that way. iPhones NFC chips are still powered even if the phone battery dies. That's how transit cards work even when the battery is dead.

I don't mean to be rude, but you really haven't said much in the way of OP or the article. All you've said is that tech is good. I'm not sure anyone in this forum would disagree with that comment, but what about privacy implications, and the horrors of being hauled through the court system because some third party fingered you as being somewhere at some time.
The material does make a difference when it comes to how long a knife keeps its edge once sharpened. Not that this makes up for the crazy prices.

With our existing system, you have to ask the same question every time you sue anybody, or do something that might cause somebody else to sue you, because you can get financially ruined even if you win.
President Trump did the right thing: first force the FAA to ground the MAX earlier than the FAA would have on its own, then let them hang out there for all to see. This report (and no doubt others) will destroy their reputations more than having fired them earlier would have if that also stopped the inquiries from going after them (though that might not have happened). Among other things, as long as they remain government employees, they can't refuse to testify.

Sure, if the President had fired them earlier that would have been satisfying -- at first, then when they all lawyered up and refused to testify, we'd all have thought that the President was a moron for having fired them too soon.
People appreciate that persona when it's presented male (the BOFH). Holding people you don't like to a higher standard is a cheap tactic.
I think you, and others, misread what I wrote. I said they were always deemed tasty, but people covet them as even more tasty luxuries because they are expensive. As opposed to the capabilities that a chef's rare experiments can achieve in a similar price range.
Ask HN: A side-effect-free programming language?
I am building a system that stores an event log of things that happened, and I would like the users to be able to set some custom functions that would reduce the event log into some sensible "views" of the state.

For that I would like to use an embedded programming language, could be anything but ideally doesn't have any side-effect and simply works with its input data to produce an output.

Such language would be pointless on its own of course, but does someone know if an interpreted script specifically made for embedded programming exists, or if a more "mainstream" interpreter could easily be compiled without the I/O machinery
Your overall point is well taken, but X50CrMoV15 is commodity stainless steel. Those German knives use it because people leave their knives out wet on their counters, not because it's amazing at cutting.

The worst is Misen, though, which brags about AUS8 steel as if it were Blue Paper Steel and not generic tool steel.
Finally. Thank you Italy.

But it should have happened 2 weeks ago or even before that, there was no reason to wait.

Now the wait has created more outbreaks elsewhere.

My concern with Apple isn't about collecting data it's about removing choices. I can't sideload apps on my iPhone, even if they might be essential to fighting a totalitarian government (HKMaps). I can't use any browser but Safari on what is supposedly my phone. I can't buy books through the Kindle app without paying Apple a 30% cut.

Honestly this stuff scares me more than the data collection that Google does, for example, because at least I have some control there. And Apple's privacy controls are kind of moot anyway if I use iCloud and all my data is just one subpoena away from anybody that wants it.
The user isn't required to use it - it's an option
You just explained why the average person can't find one they are comfortable with by detailing the amount of research you had to do. And you didn't bring up the financial aspect of it all either. I may find a lawyer that can make the charge go away, but my wallet may say otherwise.
You'll probably get flagged as spam if you present your work without context this way, whereas if you follow the conventions of the site, readers will receive it quite differently.

To follow the conventions, post as described at https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html. Then add a first comment to the thread giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it. That tends to seed discussion in a good direction.

It's already new new week here in Tel Aviv, but I'd suspect that most of Hacker News readers are in the United States. And it's telling that the people who hate Israel and support terrorism in the mid-east wait until the Jewish Sabbath, when Jews don't use computers or write, to further anti-Israel and anti-Jewish propaganda.
Yes, decoding JSON in python is much more efficient if you are not actually decoding JSON in python.
I agree. I found Jonathan Frankle’s interview on the NLP highlights podcast to be a great explanation of the findings, and provided some really good intuitions for how deep learning behaves.

Why wouldn't Trump want to fire someone at the FAA? He fires staff constantly. Would be a strong publicity stunt to make it seem like he's delivering on draining the swamp.

I'm not the GP, but I guess that a tool that is

Can never cover all bases perfectly, and is generally great when starting out, but ultimately not built to be very forgiving when grown too much.

> now you're boxed into an expensive corner and you need to figure out how to scale

When you get to this point, and the requirements start to be more focused on performance, then it's time to start switching Python out. That does not devaule Python in the earlier stages of development and operation.

The point being that Python is the right tool for getting stuff working quick, not to getting stuff executing quick.
My claim is that no civilization would engage in this kind of growth, yes.

Mechanical keys with transponders are even easier to clone but their range is very short (the transponder has to be literally inside the antenna) so a distant attack is almost impossible, smart keys on the other hand have the same range as the remote, its only limited by the range of the transmitter in the vehicle, if you touch the door and amplify that signal and the keys are close enough to pick it up, it will answer by unlocking the doors.
Pretty much every developer I know hates slack. They use it because it is required of them.

It is a great tool for non-doers to slack off with though. You can pretend like you are working by posting funny pics, random thoughts, etc.

I think that kinda hits the nail on the head. For a lot of people on HN the information being presented in the posts isn't new or particularly insightful. So to read the information presented in a tone where the author believes they are the only ones with the "true knowledge" can be very off-putting.

But of course there are other people that may get more out of it and not have a negative reaction to it.
I know if you look at the woodworking hand tool community, it's almost dogma that the first thing you do with a new set of chisels or a plane is to put your own edge on it. And in the case of planes, the people who have been at it longer also polish the face down flat(ter) on a piece of float glass.
No third party has any business telling the first and second that they can’t transact at a price to which they both agree (or threatening them with violence if they ignore them and do anyway). Governments that do so are infringing upon their rights. All this feel-good sort of law does is make the thing that they feel they need, which would otherwise be expensive, now be totally unavailable. That doesn’t benefit the buyer or the seller, and in fact makes the situation worse for the buyer who it supposedly wished to protect: it just makes some busybody who is not even party to the transaction feel good about themselves.

There’s no such thing as “coerced by the circumstances”. We all need to enter into transactions to not die; we buy food, water, medical care even outside of emergencies. Sometimes those things are expensive due to supply and demand. This instance is no different.
I think it is very stretching to say that <1% is not much lower than 8-14% (depending on the age bracket).
They allow the DEV1-M boxes now, which are 8EUR a month.
Uber says it will compensate drivers diagnosed with coronavirus
I disagree partly here based on personal experience with BJJ. I simply cannot summon fast-twitch muscle "burst" cardio on a full keto diet. After months of trying all kinds of workarounds, I had to carb-load with glucose pills (the kind diabetics take) the night before and pre-workout.

Long-term steady endurance massively increases though. If there's no bursting, I find that I can workout for hours on keto, it's amazing. It's kind of like the difference between regular diesel engines and gasoline+nitrous engines. Patience and focus seriously improve as well.

My limited understanding is that glycogen stores in muscles get depleted on full keto and must be replaced with some kind of carb intake, whether through excess protein-to-carb conversion or through normal carb intake, that "burst" energy simply isn't going to be there.

Example: I'm on the bottom in full mount and I know I need to burst to sweep somehow or shrimp out after bucking. Energy just wasn't there, time and time again. I could do jumping jacks forever, though.

I'd love to hear your feedback on this, like, what your protein intake is vs. fats.
This is pretty key. Halving the rate of transmission doesn't sound too impressive, but it can decrease mortality by 80%+. That's why you got very scary mortalities in Hubei (3%+) and serious but less apocalyptic elsewhere (<0.5%).

COVID-19 is highly treatable, but it has to be treated.
It's a shame this is not a top voted comment. Not many people understand both the intricacies and tradeoffs involved in all these approaches, and get burned, then blame the tools.
Show HN: Accurate image classification in 3 lines of code with AutoGluon
AutoGluon is an easy-to-use AutoML toolkit for deep learning that allows you to automatically leverage state-of-the-art techniques. Writing barely any code, we recently used AutoGluon to achieve around top 10% ranks in four Kaggle image classification competitions:

https://medium.com/@zhanghang0704/image-classification-on-kaggle-using-autogluon-fc896e74d7e8

To learn how to use AutoGluon for your own image classification problems, see our tutorial here: https://autogluon.mxnet.io/tutorials/image_classification/kaggle.html

Beyond image classification, AutoGluon also makes it easy to get started with object detection, as well as prediction tasks involving tabular/text data instead of images. If you're already a deep learning practitioner, AutoGluon helps you automatically tune your own custom models.

AutoGluon is open-source and available on GitHub: https://github.com/awslabs/autogluon/

Another reason web apps are the future.

Don't develop for evil companies. I tried explaining this to my coworkers but they couldn't see beyond the $$$. Now I understand why Engineers take a 2 hour ethics class.
I will complain if Apple forbid apps from offering "sign in with google/facebook/twitter/whatever", but as long as they only make apps offer an alternative, I don't have a huge problem.

This is a much smaller issue for me than "no alternative browsers" or "no sideloading".
> A lot of crappy stuff genuinely is rooted in people being oblivious and unable to really see it. It's part of why stuff is so intractable:

Indeed it's an emergent behaviour from a lot of stupid and greedy decisions of the past. I have found its a rare ability for someone to be able to stand outside themselves and see how something ended up there. Like the stuff Bernie is talking about, how it seems to be being called socialism, but over here it's just life. There are those on the extreme right that fight against it, fortunately they haven't won here, yet, imho.

> I doubt it's a system consciously designed to keep a class of uneducated God fearing slaves

I don't think it was designed that way, but I'd say there are people taking advantage of the status quo and quite happy to keep it that way - cheap labour is good, and there are many who enjoy feeling righteous by pointing a finger at the behaviour of those less fortunate. I suppose the question is whose advantage is it to fix it? Probably not many, it's easier to just increase the police force and keep these people in jail and prepare for the inevitable uprisings.

> The people orchestrating it frequently feel innocent and wrongly accused.

Yes, so there's a way to fix it working with these people, but there are forces at work fighting it now or not interested in supporting change and they have a lot of money. Think I'll get off my Sunday morning pulpit now :-)
I can tell you why I stopped using it. It was clear after a few months that features, layout, and UX wasn’t being developed keeping individual users in mind. Later the CEO stated that they are not at all their concerns.

And compared to Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram their call quality was horrendous so not many of my contacts stayed.
As an example of the sort of old design which used to be grandfathered in there's the Helios crash [1], where on a plane built in 1997 the exact same alarm horn was used for two situations (configuration error during take-off, and loss of cabin pressure at altitude). The old-school reasoning was that this wouldn't be a problem since the two situations are necessarily disjoint. However as the accident investigation board wrote:

"Most pilots are not very likely to experience a cabin pressurization problem and the associated warning horn at any time during their line flying.

The Board also considered the role of stress that probably further contributed to the possible confusion of the two meanings of the warning horn. In general, stress, such as that caused by the onset of a loud, distracting alarm in the cockpit, combined with the element of surprise, is known to lead to automatic reactions. Automatic reactions, in turn, are typically those that result from experience and frequency of encounter and are therefore not always appropriate. The Board considered that the flight crew may have automatically reverted to a reaction based on memory before consciously processing the source and significance of the stress factor. This would also explain why the flight crew failed to realize the improbability of their interpretation of the horn as a takeoff configuration horn and why they failed to move on to gathering information for a new, correct diagnosis of the problem at hand."

That particular stable door got closed, but at the time it was cited by pilots as an example of legacy design that wouldn't have been permitted on a clean-sheet airliner.

I read this as a dev war story, and as a person venting.

I would have the same condescending sarcastic attitude while doing it if I was venting too.

I also know a lot of people who like my sarcasm when talking about topics like this, so yeah as a guy who very much gets's where the author is coming from I agree this seems like a double standard.
Ya I'm serious.

The logic seems plain.

> Your overall point is well taken, but X50CrMoV15 is commodity stainless steel. Those German knives use it because people leave their knives out wet on their counters, not because it's amazing at cutting.

That's fair - I suppose I oversold "truly high quality kitchen knives".

I do think German knives generally tend toward softer steels on purpose to make them more amenable to occasional "abusive" treatment, which seems like a reasonable tradeoff for the average consumer.
