Yea pretty sure they are based in Anguilla. You can tell from the TLD for sure.

It's probably unrelated but there's quite a few Artificial Intelligence companies there as well.
Right now is a very risky time to invest. It could be that it turns out to be a good time, because stocks are about 20% below the all-time high. But there could also be a second crash, when investors realize the real impact of the economic crisis caused by Covid-19. In addition to that, there's the risk of inflation caused by government bailouts.
What I'm doing right now is keeping about 1/3rd in gold ETF as inflation protection, about 1/3rd in stocks ETFs and the rest in cash. Once the whole thing is over, I will probably move back to stock ETFs.

>map because they think it's more readable and productive without any great way of proving that that's true?

I mean, doing

sendUserIds(users.map(u => u.id))

is very obviously more readable than what you're forced to do in languages like Go

ids := make([]int, len(users))
for i, user := range users {
ids[i] = user.Id
}
sendUserIds(ids)

The difference only grows once you start needing to do more operations, grouping, putting stuff into map by a certain key, etc. Many languages also have lazy sequences for such operations (e.g. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/sequences.html, though they aren't always faster, it depends)

The code in the comment above is however not an example of this, and is actually less readable in my opinion. It seems more like an author wishing to be using a different language instead of accepting what they have in front of them.

This looks like a more mature/different approach to the same thing I tried to do in a side project a while ago (https://github.com/blackhole89/macros), down to similar aesthetic choices. However, I pitch my project as a macro system rather than compile-time execution.

While here the metalanguage is itself a C++-lookalike, in my project I wound up with something that is perhaps better described as a weird TeX (which seems to be what happens naturally when your machine model is based on binding and substitution).

On one hand, C++ is surely more powerful/expressive and there is elegance to having the language and metalanguage use the same idiom. On the other, I feel like this might actually making Circle a bit more confusing to use at times, as it becomes less clear exactly when what parts of the code are executed, and you could even imagine a typo accidentally lifting a part of the code from runtime to compile time, resulting in mystifying bugs. (I am myself puzzled by the "serialize structs generically" example: does it imply that the template is specialised before the @meta for is executed?)

hey @yaseer, Really cool idea, thanks for sharing! RPA is a great, underserved niche for the SMBs.

I've read through your privacy policy but i'd like some more clarification.

specifically, can you talk about exactly what data is sent to your servers? For example, if i use Axiom to login to a vendor site, those log on credentials should be stored only locally correct? Does your team have the ability to access any of the data that would be retrieved from the vendor application? I have a few really solid use cases but I need to cover the data privacy concerns first.
"large numbers of libraries" is almost a subgenre of cargo cult. You're not programming, you're using code you assume does a thing because either it says so or you saw someone else do; but not doing it yourself. Python is paying my mortgage right now and I enjoy using it, but the community around it is no more enlightened with respect to cargo culting than any other I've seen.

Audits is not a rebuild step, it's something to arrange much later.

Also I will be traveling to the planet Luna in the upcoming Russian mining mission. I am looking for investors that are interested in sponsoring me in exchange for a percentage of my cut in the mining operation.

Please respond with your interest. I am very excited about the direct massage and the opportunity to work with you in a mutually beneficial business opportunity!

Sincerely,

Another story with tunnel vision.

I don't pay attention to the NY Times, but have they had any opinion pieces suggesting that maybe the destruction of the economy is also a bad thing?

This is the difference. Most Americans don't have access to this capital, or access to means of borrowing this capital, and if they do have the means then they might not necessarily be able to shoulder the risk.
...and that's why he also said on Monday: "If you took someone and asked them, without them knowing whether they'd be born boy or girl, black or white, with or without any relevant talent, or to rich or poor parents, and asked them when and where they'd like to be born. They'd answer, 'The US, in modern times'. There is no place on Earth, and no time in history, that a person can make the most of their talents, as today in the US. As hard as it is to be in the bottom 10% here and now, it would have been much worse any time in the past."

A comedy set in South America where off screen they hear someone say obliviate and they start talking to someone who can’t remember anything is still a derivative work. Fair uses may apply or it might not, but it’s not simply a question of how much of the original is reproduced, but where information comes from.
The New York Times reporters generally consult experts when they write stories like these. Just because their is a reporters name next to it doesn't imply the reporter fabricated all the data they are using and that no health experts were involved.

Um, what flattening curve? Flattening growth rates just mean linear growth instead of exponential. Flattening total or active case numbers is what flattening the curve usually means.

Show HN: Graph Wavelet Neural Network (PyTorch)
Yup, in my domain (games) unit tests are common for functionality that is easily applicable to them (e.g. linear algebra libraries) then integration tests are more common for systems (e.g. testing collision systems integration with the game engine, do you get the right callbacks or whatever) but once you hit the game itself automated testing is not massively useful as it's usually painful to setup and maintain and only covers "does this case still work" with no information on how good the end product actually is.

IMO a lot of places have forgotten the value of manual testing in terms of not only finding bugs but actually understanding how the product is used. Games companies prize iteration speed in terms of how quickly you can test a change in situ because we as game makers need to verify our changes by playing the game. I'm making a multiplayer game right now so I need to make sure what I do works on the server and clients which usually necessitates three copies of the game running together. Then we playtest it with a larger group weekly and playtest with even larger groups less regularly.

My impression of a lot of modern development elsewhere is that as soon as automated tests are green the code gets punted into production which seems utterly bonkers.
Yep, of course.

That's right; Right now, we don't store credentials.

The cookie from your local machine when logged in is passed to axiom locally, and never sent to us.

We store the code for your script on our servers. This is necessary to update scripts for future versions of axiom. We do not store the data this code processes.

We do have a cloud version upcoming that will process data on our servers, but this will be optional, and not enforced.
GP said "leveraged and didn't have cash stockpiles". Your example of Apple may fit the first criteria, but not the second.

And this is exactly why you should have a cash stockpile, either as a company or an individual: You can never tell when a random event will completely wipe out your earnings for 6 months.

I'm no corporate financier, but I've certainly heard arguments in favor of borrowing money during times of low interest rates in order to have a cash stockpile. But borrowing to do stock bybacks when you don't have a stockpile is just skating further out onto thinner and thinner ice.
Treatments for Corona Vaccine
In another noteworthy research study conducted in India, researchers have come to notice that Mw could lower death risks of ICU patients, suffering from sepsis of considerable severity.

Intercom Affordable Alternative
Yes. So many developers think, I string together some APIs into something that looks like an app, I've done something. Forgetting those libraries are designed/tested to work only on whatever subset of the problem space they were used for previously. They probably don't handle your case; they don't have explicit capacity promises; they don't work together (don't respect each others backpressure signals, don't understand each others error spaces etc).

I read open source, then extract the bits of IP I think was useful. Often rewriting it to fit my case. Its useful source, but as an example to help me write my app.

{ Please don't use Linux as a strawman (You rewrote Linux?! I don't believe it!) That's the single largest, most successful (along with maybe 5 others) open source project. But absolutely not representative of the 1M other projects out there. }
On the one hand: I agree. Even if I didn't know about nonbinary people, the common "inclusive" constructions like he/she, he/him, -men/-women, and alternating binary are like speed bumps in the flow. They're an ugly hack to avoid using the ancient and already common neutral terms like person or they and its friends them and their. If a person uses these constructs, they admit they don't see "man" as neutral, so that tired old defense doesn't work. They can handle singular they even for known persons. They never protest singular you!

"But it's for people of unknown gender!" the protest goes. Well, welcome to the queer experience; they probably don't know either.

On the other hand: this was not a good way to promote better phrasing. Your passive voice here--"it's preferable"--suggests it's a Well Known Fact, but it really isn't. Most people have, at best, a vague awareness of the existence of more than two genders, or they're so used to using these awful constructs that they don't realize how obnoxious they are. Acting like your Rare Knowledge is Common Knowledge only works when preaching to the choir.

I like how they made an example of Texas where I live. My observation is that people in urban areas aren’t take this seriously from their frequent visits to stores for shopping, lack of face masks, eagerness for normalcy and so forth. The risk of exposure is multiplicative of population density. Counter-intuitively the lower risk rural areas appear to be taking this far more seriously.

It seems impatience will get the best of us. The only way to beat this is with very strict exercising of social distancing for not less than three months, healthy habits, and extreme sanitation. It seems urban areas are not willing to wait 3 months until there is an uncontrolled outbreak.

As long as it doesn't impact your life too badly, why would you change something.

About your feeling of failing I had this too. Once I told my therapist I feel like I have this huge debt of all the never finished projects and starting something new would increase the debt. My salvation was allowing myself to "fail" and experience the anxiety and guilt coming with this. Turns out this feeling of failing was not good for anything and more like a story in my head.

The school of therapy which turned my life hugely around was Acceptance and Commitment Therapy just if you are curious and need another hyperfocus topic.

Also if you already know the term hyperfocus you already read about ADHD. My medication make a huge difference to get going despite frustrations.

Low-Carb and Keto Diet Fast Food Menu Choices
I went back to Safari on iOS. I really quite like iOS - it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is mine. I also quite like Firefox, and have used it since Firefox 3 (except for a few years when I bought into the Google project and used Chrome when it was shiny and new). I used the iOS Firefox app solidly for a little while - more than I year I think - but really, while WebKit is the only engine allowed on iOS, it’s just a skin on Safari with integration into your Firefox Account (which is a fantastic bit of work, but I don’t use it). Sorting tabs and bookmarks in iOS Safari is much nicer in my experience, so I eventually went back.

I’ll keep using Firefox on desktop for as long as it exists, but I kind of just faced the music on Firefox for iOS.

Tip: you can purchase a nice IPS 1080p display for ~110 (EUR)/~130 (USD) at aliexpress. Swapping it with the existing one is ~30 mins, if you are doing it for the first time.

(I've damaged my original 1600x900 TN panel and the quoted price for material was more than the third-party IPS, even without the work. The third party panel is much nicer).

Also related: macOS was originally optimized for 72 dpi; retina at @2x is 144 dpi. Windows (and also Linux DEs) optimized for 96 dpi, 200% is 192 dpi - which is much bigger jump and they look atrocious if the display is in the 140-180 dpi range. That's why macOS can look nice at ~WQHD displays that MBPs ship with, and Windows laptops needs at least 3200x1600 look nice at 200%.
