who wants that long of a commute? It's all relative and the salaries here more than make up for it. I'm sure someone in the texas exurb would think you're nuts for paying that much in hoboken.
The language is surprisingly complete; bigger differences are found in library support, even standard library support. Libraries that are memory efficient are easy to port but many Python libraries assume vast amounts of memory so it can require significant effort to modify them to use few resources.
It's very likely that the team that said "yes" is not the same team that said "no". Apple is a big company. There's more than one person there.
There's a ton of memes where people have skewed photos to look like the statue that are hideously amusing.

The statue should have looked like what you produced: I can only guess bronze was hard to work with or redo when it goes horribly wrong.
archive.is only wants to archive the 404 page.

I think to archive this you need either (a) an archiving service with servers in Australia or (b) an archiving service that archives it using your browser (instead of their servers) and then uploads it to their servers.

I can't find any archiving service for which either (a) or (b) is true
Looks like you're only 10 times away from using this to having spent your 10 minutes ;)

But seriously, I'm not here to lecture you, but personally I'd appreciate having a teammate educate me on the undesired behavior and have a nice function I could use to ensure my own code doesn't break user input

Open letter to Australians

We need to let you know about new Government regulation that will hurt how Australians use Google Search and YouTube.

A proposed law, the News Media Bargaining Code, would force us to provide you with a dramatically worse Google Search and YouTube, could lead to your data being handed over to big news businesses, and would put the free services you use at risk in Australia.

# The way Aussies search every day on Google is at risk from new regulation

You’ve always relied on Google Search and YouTube to show you what’s most relevant and helpful to you. We could no longer guarantee that under this law. The law would force us to give an unfair advantage to one group of businesses - news media businesses - over everyone else who has a website, YouTube channel or small business. News media businesses alone would be given information that would help them artificially inflate their ranking over everyone else, even when someone else provides a better result. We’ve always treated all website owners fairly when it comes to information we share about ranking. The proposed changes are not fair and they mean that Google Search results and YouTube will be worse for you.

# Your Search data may be at risk

You trust us with your data and our job is to keep it safe. Under this law, Google has to tell news media businesses “how they can gain access” to data about your use of our products. There’s no way of knowing if any data handed over would be protected, or how it might be used by news media businesses.

# Hurting the free services you use

We deeply believe in the importance of news to society. We partner closely with Australian news media businesses — we already pay them millions of dollars and send them billions of free clicks every year. We’ve offered to pay more to license content. But rather than encouraging these types of partnerships, the law is set up to give big media companies special treatment and to encourage them to make enormous and unreasonable demands that would put our free services at risk.

This law wouldn’t just impact the way Google and YouTube work with news media businesses — it would impact all of our Australian users, so we wanted to let you know. We’re going to do everything we possibly can to get this proposal changed so we can protect how Search and YouTube work for you in Australia and continue to build constructive partnerships with news media businesses — not choose one over the other.

You’ll hear more from us in the coming days — stay tuned.
> Rampant money printing is eroding the value of money - we cannot trust Central Banks to preserve what little wealth we may have.

The point of central banks is to ensure a stable value of currency.

Given that we've (in the US, at least,) had very low inflation for the past 20 years; central banks are doing their job well.
In biology, if I remember correctly, you have anabolic and catabolic processes: anabolism constructs complex molecules from simpler ones, catabolism breaks down complex molecules into simpler ones. Both processes work together, with catabolism providing the energy for the anabolism.
Good points. And interesting you see it on the lower end, since I think the conventional wisdom is the high end might crash first.

I personally do think because of the eviction moratorium that we will see bigger decreases to come, but I also think it will rebound hard in main areas as you say because everyone always wants to be in the Village
There is enough new housing here that apt buildings went down in monthly cost last summer. People keep moving here so house prices have been stubbornly resilient.
Even for the biggest companies the analysis is only going to be as good as the internal performance measuring system and how can a company gain confidence that is working?

There was a long discussion in the GCP thread yesterday about what google has been hiring and promoting for over the last ten years and what culture that produced. Any look-back at hiring methodology vs success at google is going to embed that implicit strategy. Among other things that means another company should very much not extrapolate from Google’s experience—-even if it is based on solid data analysis—-unless they are trying to replicate that culture.
I can’t put it into words well but it’s like if I discovered a vestigial limb attached to my body. I’d want to try firing it up.
I’ve owned an mpc 3000, as well as the mpc-60 and sp-1200. I still own an sp-1200. Why?

I loved the mpc 3k. For it’s time it was great. It held a ton of samples, sounded great and was a great “dawless” way to make music.

I still own an sp-1200 because it is so limited and causes happy accidents often. I have no interest in using an old slow computer to make music. That time is long gone. I can use any number of DAWs to record and sequence anything I want in a manner that is way more complex than any mpc or drum machine can do. The sp-1200 has a sound and quirkiness that for now I don’t want to live without.

As an aside, I emailed Roger Linn after purchasing an upgrade for my MPC 60. After the 3000 was introduced, Akai went bankrupt and was purchased by InMusic. They promptly told Mr Linn to ____ right off and they will not pay him royalties for the 60/3k anymore. I completely understand that he is definitely salty about that. (In fact I have had a similar circumstance with some software I wrote). I think Roger has been working on a successor to the linndrum and mpc series (and no not the Linn/Dave smith tempest) that is a vision of where he wants to see drum machines go.

The mpc series was great and helped create a few genres of music. I think the time is here for the next paradigm shift.

Edit..
Hate to be pessimistic here, but this entire article seems to be written solely to inflate the price of these things...
They are relatively plentiful, theyre generally reliable, and I bought and sold the MPC 3000 I had 2 years ago for between 1000-1500 bucks.

There is a trend as of late on Reverb/eBay to push the nostalgia and drive 'vintage' gear prices into the stratosphere. Gearheads beware- this is a bubble in the making...
correct. that is what i think of when i think of culture. overly polite people. when asking if a restaurant is open they first say 'hello sir, i notice you walked out of the house here' and tell you thank you and have a good evening. in sf it's greetings with 'is this still open' and a silent walkoff staring into the phone when you tell them you don't know. in line for bread, you say good day, i'd like a traditional please. in sf you say 'give me the avocado sandwich.'

and then yes, you have the old buildings, the chateau, and the perfectry groomed horses at the gardens.

it is boring in versailles, there's one shitty club in a basement, and all the gen-pop restaurants at the center turn into shitty bars when food service stops. if that's what you were looking for in versailles, you were disappointed. taking a walk through the gardens is not boring. for clubbing i had my place in moscow where i'd often go for a 3 day weekend. unlike sf, where bars close shortly after midnight, in moscow we'd go to dinner at 10, get to a club at 1, got to the next club at 5am, go to a karaoke at 8am, grab breakfast and get home to sleep at noon. point is, op was saying thise sf bars with no women that close at 1am are a positive about sf.

yes, a famous palace and snooty old bluebloods is more cultured. especially when comparing to sf and it's snooty entitled and rude millenials. and if you want more, north station is 20min away on the sncf. i lived at the montreuil stop.

WSJ does not require this actually (I've ended and restarted by subscription before). Last I checked NYTimes still does require speaking with a CSA
Yes same! Where is it?!
Perhaps I am being dumb, but I don't see what the digital root brings to this.

You can do the same thing without the digital root.
substitute 1 into all the possible answers gives:
A: 25
B: 33
C: 25
D: 17

Substitute 1 into the question gives 25.
Therefore only A and C are possible answers and it must be C because 4*4 = 16

This is the same process as your answer but without the digital root!
That sounds like an entirely reasonable way to do it.
For now. If it's not sustainable for more than a few centuries then our offspring are in for a rude awakening.
> Nightlife is horrible, bars pretty much close at 1am, hardly any live music, gender imbalance, and not much density so it often just feels "dead" in a lot of places

As a southern Californian, I can attest to this. It's pathetic that our bars have last call at 2am (effectively many close at 1:30a).

There's been push after push to get last-call to 4am like it is in NY but they never go anywhere in the state legislature.
I'd probably trust the Australian govt to protect my data better than Google or even worse Facebook. The way the article has twisted the words in Google's favour is commendable though. Marketing really is everything.

In visits to a number of developing countries I’ve made the same observation: driving from the wealthy, developed part where we were staying, out of the city and into the countryside I’d notice that the very worst poverty seemed to be not in the (technically poorest) countryside where the old, rural life still went on, but on the edges of modernity. The people at the edges of the city had left behind the benefits of the traditional way of life — being self-sustainable, ok nutrition, good air etc. — and were really only experiencing the drawbacks of modern life; few of the benefits.

It’s only a personal observation, but in my reading of history I wonder if the same pattern applies.

I use Mutt too.

Although nobody has commented on my mails, I know some people read them on mobile, and because plain text is formatted for an 80-column terminal, it doesn't reflow nicely on their mobile devices so they have to scroll side-to-side to read my message.

I think people don't know that's because I use Mutt, but a hard-to-read mail is not an impression I want to convey sometimes.

Also, sometimes my mails render in Courier font for some people when regular HTML mails show up in Arial, just because of the content type.

So if possible I'd like to write Markdown or similar and have that auto-formatted to HTML mail before sending. Not sure if there's a good way to do that in Mutt.
I think in a similar way this could also lower the barrier of entry into screenwriting.
If this can help you ... From my own experience, I advise you that you should also ban music, external noises and any other distractions ... Basically to make your students bored and that the only thing that "entertains" them is to code in the computer.

By the way, I would be interested to know more about your project and its progress, if you could give me some form of contact I would greatly appreciate it.
It doesn’t prevent someone from calling your function with “INFO” instead of “info”, does it?
Yes, luckily you can use whatever planning methodology you prefer. Graph paper and spreadsheets are frequently mentioned, as is doing the planning at work so that you have more time at home to actually build :)
Storybook lets you permutate the inputs you can give a component, letting you verify the results are correct in a variety of ways.

I work for Sauce Labs, so I'm most familiar with combining Storybook with Screener (https://screener.io/v2/docs). Our integration lets you provide a set of interactions to take to change a component state, then does sophisticated layout, content, and structure comparisons.

The official docs for testing with Storybook have a range of other ways you can use it to test your components: https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/workflows/testing-with-s...
This is very interesting, and I would be interested in learning more about the language-specific accommodations that are made. My minimal understanding of the GPT systems is that they are initially trained on a large corpus of English-language text, and then often, though not necessarily, given few-shot training on example tasks before being tested with questions that are scored.

It would be unremarkable if the same system would have to be retrained from scratch to work with a different language, but I take it that you mean more than that. One guess is that the training data is annotated with grammatical information, in which case I would wonder if this is just a shortcut, or whether it solves a fundamental problem for such systems. Another guess is that the training set includes disambiguation, but that would seem to render meaningless the results on Winograd schema. (Update: I withdraw this last point, as presumably the Winograd-schema questions themselves are not disambiguated. Disambiguation of the training corpus would be a quite significant language-specific accommodation, if that is what is happening.)
For payments alone, you can't charge enough to cover the credit card transaction fees because no one will pay it. They all try to make it up in volume via a loyalty program or sell the data to others.

Other marketplaces can take a percentage off the top well in excess of the fees, or they'll even add the tx fee on top to fully pass it through.
The reasons for the low inflation are quite specific to the US. One thing you can't escape is just how much money supply has increased - look at the M2 chart here: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=FRED%3AM2

And if that does not convince you, try SPX/M2 on a monthly - and then think again if you think they're keeping the currency stable.

And if that does not convince you, try explaining why Gold is at all-time-highs. The market is not stupid, Gold is signalling what is happening very clearly.
AFAIK you're missing a crucial point - they're trying to require G/FB to pay out billions to old (read: dying) media publications, which will crush small publications. On the Open Web, ABC News should get the exact same treatment at JoeBloggsYT2020.
Depends on where you look for your inflation. Some people posit that real estate, education, health care, and (now) the stock market are the sinks for inflationary money policy.
At least I’m not out there writing condescending blog posts where I bloviate about cities ceasing to exist. Gimme a break.
Lol! That is suspiciously specific.

You didn't need to say illicit funds. It's useful to move money without having to use a bank or government money.
I think there's a pretty large gap between what people in academia NLP/industry labs find interesting and what the bitcoing/VC/whatever people on twitter seem to find interesting.

It sounded right to me..

I've visited SF about four times over the last few years - staying between one and three weeks each time.

Generally the tactic is to write everything in MicroPython and, only if performance requires it, drop into C to write small sections.

It's still significantly faster than developing wholly in C - or Rust for that matter. And that's if writing in a low level language is required at all.

> providing information about how and when Google and Facebook make available user data collected through users’ interactions with news content.

Is it saying google or facebook need to tell news publication about when/which users are accessing thier content?
I am generally inclined to regard IF arguments for disregarding research as rather disingenuous. Yes, there are predatory journals which will publish anything if paid, but IF as a metric to judge a journal which doesn't seem to be obviously fraudulent is a farce at best, because IF is also heavily correlated with readership which may not be large for relatively niche topics (to be fair, I haven't actually looked at other articles in EJN). For example, consider Annals of Mathematics, one of the most "prestigious" math journals, has an IF of 3.027.

I'm not trying to claim anything about the science in this particular article because I haven't read it in enough detail but a PI I worked with had this habit of dismissing research based on journal IFs, which was pretty annoying.
Exactly, all the money that's being printed and every asset class going higher yet the typical measure of inflation seems to stay low - I would bet the measure is wrong. In fact, it does not matter if I'm right or wrong about this, fact remains that if you're an American today and you try to go on vacation almost anywhere you'll find EVERYTHING feels expensive outside of the US.

Why is that? Well the value of the dollar is at multi-month lows and heading lower vs almost any other significant currency.
My 11 year old started playing Factorio a week ago, and I knew it was a gateway drug to software development. I hope he keeps enjoying it and gets a career out of it, would be amazing! Especially the technical debt aspect.
I actually agree that SF has essentially no culture and a poor food culture compared to many other major american cities. The only things truly exceptional about the city are the weather, housing prices, and being the most city-like city in greater Silicon Valley. And with that third point being moot, it's no surprise people aren't staying if they don't have to. I'm also leaving in two weeks.

The only reason a lot of people live in SF is solely that it's a really good place for a career in the technology industry or to do a startup. That's why I was there.
The only trouble we've had with Digi-Key over the last six months, with dozens of orders, has been coming too close to their end-of-day shipment cutoff. (It seems to be closer in practice to 7:30pm than their advertised 8 CT, but I'm not begrudging them that during this pandemic! This is avoiding restricted materials such as lithium batteries, flux, etc., as well as avoiding value-added items. Order those earlier in the day if you want them fast!) Most of our orders are overnighted, for what that's worth; I know the big distributors do treat overnights differently.

We have never seen a single issue with pricing not as advertised at small quantities, or a shipping mistake not directly attributable to the carrier.

Mouser has performed similarly well but is (and has always been) significantly worse with their cutoff. Again, they're nominally 8pm CT but 6 or 6:30 is more realistic if you're counting on it being here the very next day.

Both are amazing if you're used to crappier distributors, but you do pay for it....
Ask HN: Deploy multiple containers to AWS with CI/CD
I have an API service and an ngnix server in separate containers and (a database for dev) in another container. These three are packaged in a docker-compose.yml file.

Now, how would you deploy this to AWS? Would I create one cluster and use the docker-compose.yml file to somehow deploy it on AWS ECS? Or create a cluster for each container and deploy it separately?

The API service is written in PHP and the nginx server connects to php-fpm to process php files.

What I don't understand is also how tests work. When I commit to a specified branch, will it just run the tests? Or will every commit trigger a build of the image (and the tests are specified as a RUN command in the dockerfile)?

All of this is so confusing, how would you do it?
With all due respect I sincerely doubt you have ever had the equivalent of "enable" or "configure" access on the core routers of any significant ISP. Not anything in the top 1500 worldwide by CAIDA ASrank size and customer AS, peer AS measurement scale.

Using jio as an example of "why don't the faangs just build their own massive ISPs at OSI layer 1 by throwing money at it" is so dreadfully wrong and misinformed I won't even dignify it with a further response.
It is also important to remember that ERCOT does not have a capacity market like every other FERC regulated ISO. The added cost in places like PJM and CAISO is noticeable. Though having capacity markets does not seem to prevent blackouts.
Very few companies to need people that have very strong CS skills. CS skills are mostly useful for doing CS. For example designing and analyzing an algorithm that’s more efficient than any other algorithm at sorting integers with an average of 10^40 digits on a three tag Turing machine.

While CP skills also aren’t terrible useful for most companies, they are closer than CS skills. What’s really needed are software engineering skills but unfortunately our most prestigious institutions think it’s beneath them to teach that.
Do you oppose progressive taxes as well?

It's a simple problem of who has the strongest ability to contribute to pay for the things we all need to keep our society growing.

Bitching and moaning about having to pay $20k when you have 250k and are in the top 1% of wealth in society is unseemly.
