Show HN: Data Science Pull Requests– Review and merge code, data and experiments
Hey HN, I'm one of the creators of DAGsHub (https://DAGsHub.com). Data Science Pull Requests (DS PRs) expand Pull Requests (PRs) to include data, models, and experiments. The idea behind DS PRs is to automate the data science review process and enable Open Source Data Science.

Concretely this means:

- Reviewing, comparing, and commenting on your experiments (metrics, parameters, visualizations), in context

- Seeing what data and models have changed (not just code)

- Comparing and diffing notebooks

- After reviewing the DS PR, you can merge it in, which will merge code, data, and models all at once

Learning to use Data Science PRs is very straightforward, read more here: https://dagshub.com/docs/collaborating_on_dagshub/data_scien...

There is a lot of work to be done, and many things to be improved. I really want to make this workflow as simple and effective for everyone, and your input would be greatly appreciated.
As a side note that's common for undercharged batteries.

Charging undercharged lithium batteries must be done exactly right or it can get dangerous because of this is often only supported by OEM chargers or some workaround like keep your device plugged in for 12h even through it in no way indicates that is charging and it will then magically work again (my last phone )

This isn't obvious for those of us from a pre-device era.

Particularly the device isn't something you bought, but instead built a "device internally", whether that's a fast-lookup or a turn by turn reckoning.

> When you rely on something to make choices for you, you don't learn.

My entire history with Calculus is basically "Here's a bunch of random formulae to memorize" and I could do that very very efficiently.

The goal was speed of solving a problem when learning Mathematics, but then you get to Physics classes full of problems without actual equations provided and then your memory just gives up throwing possibilities.

But once a crutch works, it works again. Unfortunately, the crutch only takes you to the bottom of the hill, no more.

And then suddenly, you're in a crowd of people who have made mistakes, recognize mistakes made and correct mistakes instead without an instructor. Sort of like swimming out to the ocean with water wings on and suddenly they start to deflate.

That's when this starts to look like a fatal error rather than an easily recoverable one & even if you survive it, you're stuck with a permanent impostor syndrome.

That's why I opted out of the "points" bullshit and went with a good cash-back card instead.
Compiling a Lisp to x86-64: Let expressions
If you agree to the conceit that a system of justice is about rehabilitation, then someone needs to sit next to, work next to, live next to a person who committed a "serious, violent crime" that sent them to prison for 13 years.
I'm pretty sure that was it – when I saw it years ago, there were a few posts that were pretty remarkable, in that somebody "average" looking had uploaded a picture, and someone else would upload a pretty good (non-celeb) match, and in most cases the op would say, "Oh, that's way better than I thought!"

Looking at it now, however, it seems like it's mostly a "what celeb do I vaguely resemble" thread, which isn't nearly as interesting.
The laws on this vary dramatically by state and sometimes even by city. For some they can't ask or run a background check until after an offer is made. For some jurisdictions they can't discriminate on that basis unless it's highly relevant to the job (i.e. convicted sex offender can't work with children). For some jurisdictions it's totally legal to run the background check upfront and to discriminate at will.

newline | Course author | Remote | Part Time | https://www.newline.co/write-with-us 7 out of our last 10 authors made $50k+ (each). We’re the authors of Fullstack React, ng-book, Fullstack Vue and we’re looking to work with authors like you to write a few new courses this year. Our books & courses sell very well because: - We go way beyond API docs and teach everything you need to know to build real apps. - We guarantee they're up-to-date. - We invest in marketing the books (and have an active email list of over 100k) - We love the topics we write about and aim to create something remarkable every time. If you decided to self-publish, you may find the marketing is more than writing the course. We have an audience, and we know what they want to learn - so when your course is done, we already have people who want to buy it.
If you decide to go with a “traditional” publisher, you may be given a mediocre editor, write your manuscript in MS Word (ha), and earn 5-15% in royalties. With us, our editors (me) are programmers first, our tooling is dev-friendly, and our royalties on profit are split 50/50. (For scale, the author of Fullstack Vue earned $20k on the opening weekend, Fullstack D3 even more.)

We’re looking to write the definitive guides on programming topics. Things like "The newline Guide to Authentication with React and Node in 2020" - But variations on that can be any major stack or task: Not only JavaScript, but also Rust, Go, Java, AWS, DevOps, Angular, React, ASP.NET Core, Serverless, Python, Elixir, Data Science etc.

> You say this, but most prison time is done for extreme crime that everyone agrees with. In addition this, prison time is usually reserved for not just crimes we agree with but crimes we all agree are extreme.

If only that were accurate. Prison time in the US is not given out in proportion to the seriousness of the crime, and the amount of prison time is highly variable depending on locale, race of offender, race of victim, and many other factors.
The tweet says that it was a "serious, violent crime", and that they got out early on parole, so the 13 years wasn't even the full sentence. With that amount of jail time, it looks like she murdered someone.

Very true. I didn't use the right term there for what an entry level dev does. But I still think that, even if a senior tech can do a decent job elucidating a architecture, that's not proof they can lead, which is similarly important, and the only way to prove that you have the ability is to look at past accomplishments.
> what kind of people are going to logically participate in an event where the reward is a Hacktober branded T-shirt?

Well, the answer is clearly "a lot of people," unless you can think of an alternate explanation for the increase is spam during Hacktober.

Why they want a damn T-Shirt so much is a totally valid question, though. I don't understand that either.
Under GDPR, companies must have a legal basis to process personal data. Processing personal data without a basis specified in law is illegal. One of those legal bases is that processing personal data is "necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the [company]". For companies that chose this as their legal basis, they must conduct a balancing test between the benefits provided by the processing and potential impact to individuals whose data is processed.

If you don't do that balancing according to the whims of the data protection authority, your data processing will be a violation of GDPR.

If you don't have documentation of that balancing, the authority will presume you did not do any balancing, and therefore your data processing violates GDPR.

If the ads were being served by the origin web site the buyer would have to trust what the origin site says about impressions.

Even if the origin web site were honest there are many technical reasons statistics like that can be wrong; for instance a browser might render the page out of a cache.

The origin could have the ads served by the buyer but then the origin has to trust what the buyer says.

Having a third party serve the ads makes it at least possible that an impression or click is honest, but even with the safeguards we have the ad fraud problem is dire:

> Literally half the pins are missing on charge-only cables.

okay, but unless you know which pins are missing, how do you know you're not looking at a data-only cable?

> From me, because my partner bought an USB-C to 3.5mm jack converter that refused to work with "this device only supports official huawei converters". That, and two completely different cables with almost disjoint functionality look _the same_. If they mandated color coding or anything else to be able to physically determine what cable is what, I wouldn't complain.

this sounds like more of a huawei issue than a USB-C issue. if a manufacturer is just going to refuse to support a standards-compliant cable, you're out of luck either way. color coding would be nice though, they could have made that mandatory rather than recommended. I'm sure companies like apple wouldn't give a fuck either way and would just go with whatever looked aesthetically pleasing, USB-IF cert be damned.

> That all said, the _charging_ story is decent enough, everything else is garbage.

what "everything else" is garbage? there are higher speed variants, but you seem to already consider it reasonable to look at pins, so that shouldn't be a problem for you. thunderbolt support doesn't need any special pins; it just needs a high quality cable, which is analogous to the charging situation for this and the previous generation.
I've thought that wiki-style tutorials where you can branch and ask questions at specific decision points solve this.

Lot's of effort goes into one-off tutorials. This is great but those go stale and are scattered throughout the internet.

A wiki-style site to aggregate those that allows the community to maintain them and enrich them with Q&A and alternative implementations would be amazing.

Do you think about revisiting this space again with today's current context?

For instance, here are some features that I wish existed in the market with current automation phone techologies + respective APIs.

- Default voicemail, but having the flexibility to store, edit, record multiple voicemails that can be triggered based on context. If the phone number is not in my contacts / not recognized / no previous-history/interaction, play this voicemail. If my mom calls on the weekend, play her this one letter her know I'm out of the office. Spam number calls, automatically have automated voice say "I know you are a spam bot, reporting now.... please hang up as you are being recorded"

- grant auth to another individual to receive sms forwarding for a particular number. I.e. customer support text messages forwarded to my phone number, I would like to grant individual X to receive them, and when they reply back, it passes through my phone and to the end customer, who thinks they are interacting with me.

^^ just a few but I have a list somewhere. If this is interesting, I'd love to discuss/collaborate or minimally get your advice + thoughts.

EU Plans to Ban Tech Companies from Pre-Installing Apps
I was convicted for drugs and firearms in Norway. The only time it has ever come up during my many years as a programmer, was when a consulting company I worked for had the police IT service as a candidate for my next project.

Since it was for the police, a background check would be required. I politely told my department head that I would not pass that, and a short summary of my case. At that time I had worked for about 2 years and got a kind "we would never have guessed" and "you will get another project then".

As a side note: In our country, an employer needs a legitimate reason to do a background check, and they won't see crimes that are not relevant, or for some crimes - too long ago.
Criminal convictions in the UK at least can be considered spent, after that point it doesn't need to be declared.
Drug convictions make up a large portion of federal inmates, but federal inmates are a minority of the prison population.
> they had bought the music on nearly any other music streaming service, they'd still have access to it easily on any device.

No, if they'd bought it on a wide number of other services, they'd also have had to switch to new services with different terms and features. Play Music isn't the only major store to have shut down over the years.

> Now they have a bunch of random mp3 files that can't easily be played on any device

Other than dedicated streaming devices, and devices that only handle dedicated physical media, pretty much any device that can play music can easily play mp3 files, random or not.

Also, the supported automated migration path (YouTube Music) does, in fact, play songs from the personal library ad-free without a subscription:

“You can play uploaded songs in the background on your mobile phone or on the web, ad-free and offline - even if you are not currently a YouTube Music Premium subscriber.”

https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/thread/52908732?hl=e...

So other than you have to click a button to migrate, and you have to use an app and service with a different name, there's no substantive change here.
The airline shows a price. The middlemen are on the different system that has a higher price - a price higher by enough to account for their profit.

Sometimes the middlemen are worth paying. They might be better at searching all your alternatives and so they can find a route that you didn't find at all in your search. They might know something that you didn't think of (yes the non-stop is $100 cheaper, but wouldn't you prefer two 8 hour flights and two hours to walk around an airport over 16 hours in your economy seat?) They might guarantee your cruise doesn't leave without you if your flight is late. Only sometimes though.
I think one thing with loyalty programs that makes corporations care less about employees taking advantage of them (instead of going for the cheapest flight), is that it encourages employees to manage their logistics efficiently.

Without loyalty programs, people book things at the last minute, with minimal effort spent looking at the flights (at least that's my attitude and what I've observed in cases when I've had to travel to a location has no airlines with good loyalty programs flying there). This ends up costing the company money due to poor booking. Finding good flights and other travel arrangements is an additional job duty, and usually other job duties take precedence.

But if there's a possibility of a traveler benefitting from the booking, they'll do so more promptly, be willing to spend time outside of work looking at flights, and try to find reasonably priced flights to avoid this perk being taken away from them.

This is my observation from travelling within a small company, it probably does not hold for larger companies.
Yep. Drug laws (and the police/legal system in general) also disproportionately targets people of color.
Depends on how you read it. I see it as commenting on the inevitable with a FU-style "I told you so".
Yeah. Since this whole COVID-19 thing started I pull out a book on the Black Death every once in a while. And hell, even if we know now what exactly is causing the disease and what to do against it, as a society we very well behave the same way today as they did back in the day. Mass gatherings, consiracy theories (which happen to be quite similar to todays ones now that I think about it), parties, panic. And the random cases of authorities doing the right thing and minimizing the impact.

The goal of award programs is not to lure business travelers into a specific airline (many times they cannot do this), but to incentivize them to travel more. The highest members of the club are business travelers who fly a lot and spend a lot of money in the airline, while the newcomers are incentivized to do the same to get the status. It is gamification of traveling.
