Because flying to CO or somewhere like that for skiing is even more of a pain the arse than driving to Tahoe.

Tahoe is a nightmare of traffic, terrible winter-weather drivers and crowds. 20 years ago it used to be a decent getaway for the weekend. Now, not so much -- it's basically a guarantee that you're going to spend a full day driving to/from there, and gods help you if you leave friday afternoon and try to drive back on sunday -- everyone, their dog and grandma included, are going to be doing the same exact thing.

Once or twice a year is not implying accessible -- it's implying that it's inaccessible. It's somewhere that people do want to go, but the effort required to do so limits most. If it wasn't worth going, people wouldn't be trying to go every winter, and if it was reasonably easy to get to, perhaps people would go more than once or twice a winter.
I'd jokingly counter with what's the purpose of middle managers? We can just get rid of the middle layers of the bureaucracy right?

But the pandemic should be a good example of the role state governments play. In this case with picking up the slack when the federal government is refusing to take action on a problem.
When you say “unmitigated” do you mean via a mouth guard or something else?

I clench, have a mouth guard, but still clench. Don’t know of other treatments but would love to find one. I have tinnitus either as a result or from a bike accident which hurt my jaw and started the clenching.
The political structure of the USA is so screwed up at this point that I view leaning towards states' rights as one of the only viable pathways for the country to survive.

Having Red and Blue come together is apparently not going to happen, and it's just getting worse and worse. Maybe the opposite is the way to go. A radical shift in power towards the states gives every subculture their own laboratory to live or die in. Liberal values can be protected in liberal states, and you'd see the opposite in conservative states.

Maybe we could stop fighting for the federal right to shove our ideologies down the throats of states that don't want them. Different places would do different things, and that would be alright.
Alteryx was my first step into analytics and it helped me get 2 heads funded for my team. But yeah at some point I arrived to your same conclusion and moved my team to python, we never looked back. One thing people don’t realize with these UI tools is that there is no way to use a version control system and I nowadays I cannot think of doing any analytics (including basic BI) without git.

Not to get all Don Norman on the author here, but he really means “signifier” almost everywhere he uses “affordance” — he’s talking about the visibility of these sliders’ use, not what they actually allow (or, “afford”).

Introducing Magic Firewall
It worked in literally every country. Every German knows standardized German, every Italian knows standardized Italian, every Chinese knows standardized Mandarin, every Malaysian knows standardized Malay, etc.
There's a scene in Kim Stanley Robinson's 2312 that I think about often:

Habits begin to form at the very first repetition. After that there is a tropism toward repetition, for the patterns involved are defenses, bulwarks against time and despair.

He [Wahram] was very aware of this, having lived the process many times; so he paid attention to what he did when he traveled, on the lookout for those first repetitions that would create the pattern of that particular moment in his life. So often the first time one did things they were contingent, accidental, and not necessarily good things on which to base a set of habits. There was some searching to be done, in other words, some testing of different possibilities. that was the interregnum, in fact, the naked moment before the next exfoliation of habits, the time when on wandered doing things randomly. The time without skin, the raw data, the being-in-the-world.
American cars is one thing, they are tons better when compared with cars from the 90s and previous. It's easy to get 200k-300k out of a car now with standard maintenance and upkeep.

Even if your goal is to be monogamus then you should be aware that humans form relationships a bit easier than we like to believe, and understanding infatuation goes a long ways to heading off that behavior when it becomes inappropriate to your situation.
What agile stuff are you missing from the paid versions of GitLab? We have epics, roadmaps, milestones, and iterations. The only thing that is missing I can think of is workflow enforcement, but that doesn’t strike me as Agile.
Yeah that is the thing that runs an entire OS right :) Like Minix or Linux.

Still I bet the BIOS will still be around in many places. What about QEMU? Does it present a machine that contains a BIOS?

A google search turns this up: http://funwithbits.net/blog/dissecting-the-rom-bios-shipped-...

Which means that OSes still have BIOS support.

It's not my area of expertise, but it seems like turtles all the way down.

BIOS may not have been the best example, but Linux itself or Minix may be a good one. If 100 years from now there's a new dominant OS, there's probably going to still be UEFI with some legacy operating system booting it up ... Or something emulating UEFI, etc.
What's your take on Harris' The Moral Landscape?

2) Christianity is a terrible "driving force" and has a horrible history of "success" I can't believe anyone would actually use that on HN as evidence for anything. I believe humanism and secularism and respect for science is the only thing that is going to save humanity. Without belief in the value of the individual what use is any of the rest of it?
It’s not the wrong URL, it’s the old URL. Until recently it was just as effective as the URL you gave.
Tiny thing, you might consider quoting without those line breaks, except when separating paragraphs. So, the bit you quoted would go:

> The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Formula is a useful tool for estimating the U.S. grade level required to read a given text. The formula uses the average number of words per sentence and the average number of syllables per word.

I find this way easier to read!
That is a conservative point of view, ironically. American progressives typically want the federal government to take even more control.
“Deploying a model” is sort of a nebulous concept. You probably have some kind of server, which loads a serialized model and runs data from requests or from batch files through the model to get predictions. Which part are we deploying? The service can be deployed like any other service. The model is probably a file. You deploy it by copying it to s3 I guess? You can go more in depth, and that’s what the article is about.

While Unitarian communities are awesome, they're still a niche thing. I don't see anything becoming nearly as dominant as the old Church used to be - not if we have our pick of ideologically diverse reading material, supportive subcultures for every individual interest, and the lack of severe punishment by God or His earthly sheriffs upon divergence.

People were united by a monopoly on education and political power. It's too bad that we're losing that ubiquitous societal fabric, but in the face of the alternative, seriously, good riddance.

If spiritualism is your thing though, do drop by at a Unitarian Church close to you. It's an interesting experience. Not for me, but still warmly recommended.
They can just build macOS without the GUI for that.
It's great for things like blog posts, but not so great for technical documentation. Tables are the key. Also if it had DocuWiki/MediaWiki import tools and PDF/ePub export for print and screen reading it would have been perfect. Markdown doesn't cut it if you have tables, the DocuWiki format seems to be better suited for that but also a lot more annoying for source editing regular stuff and a nuisance for non technical people. We have online docs on DocuWiki. At least we have the option to use Pandoc to convert to printable formats. The thing is that our whole instance looks like a 00s web 1.0 website and it's not searchable. I'm always annoyed when looking for something on it. Your BookStack web app is miles ahead in this regard. I love the chapter collapses.
They are good people and a good community. I had a similar experience as an agnostic and was welcomed with open arms into their community. I move from that town a while back but still keep in touch with some of the members. Completely different experience than the close minded, judgemental,self possessed, obsessive evangelicals that I grew up around.
Thanks. It's under dev tools > console > the phone logo > responsive
The experiment still seems flawed, why can't the results be explained by "Some babies dislike certain toys and prefer new toys over those they dislike."

The fact that all the toys were equally preferred by a control group is an unconvincing control since individuals have different preferences.

It's swap methodology is also unconvincing. Why couldn't the baby simply be avoiding a toy that was effectively taken away?
I am Caribbean but unlike you, I don't fall for the victim hood narrative. Racism is not the reason for every issues in our community.
Moominpappa at Sea is somewhat similar to Watership Down where they are children books but themes are very deep. For Pipi it is kind silly adult point of view but generally chilren some weird reason loves it, nowdays my 4-yeard old dresses like pipi several times a week.
I stopped being interested because I reached a point where I felt there were strong diminishing returns. Additional study didn't lead me to make different choices or looking at everyday things differently any more. And it didn't take that long to get to that point.
Hydroxychloroquine treats the flu now? Does it treat cancer too?
Dark triad traits surface on this forum with some regularity.

This is how they show up in workplaces with credentialed staff:

+ Public humiliation of victims

+ Intentional isolation of victims

+ Smear campaigns against victims

+ Encourages others to torment, harass, alienate, and/or humiliate victims

+ Sabotage victims

+ Invades personal privacy of victims (feeds into other techniques)

In broad strokes, these people can be identified through their use of social violence and deception. Whether their internal state of mind conforms to some pathology template is almost irrelevant.
Actually ad-homs rarely show up in competitive debate. Competitive debate has the norms that an unanswered argument is considered to be true, and that the winner of the round is usually decided by a judge trained in argumentation. (most often a former debater or coach themselves)

For competition dirtier tactics including making 'must answer or you lose' style arguments that take longer to answer than they do to make in order to generate a time advantage.
I am a former NH resident. I think our collective argument would be that it is not our fault that Massachusetts decides to tax all their own businesses to an absurd degree. If you raise taxes there is a trade-off (often worthwhile) that involves business and people leaving your area.
Dirty practices are arguments that take longer to refute than present, even if ridiculous. For example arguing that the other sides arguments aren't topical or because they don't reject hierarchical power structures they lead to nuclear war which outweighs everything.

Good. C-SPAN cameras turned Congress into a show and I’m not convinced we’re better off for it.
I’ve been a McMaster-Carr fan for as long as I can remember. My dad would always have one of their huge catalog books both at his office and at home in his garage. Any time he needed a part, he would flip through the catalog and find what he was looking for.

As a young kid I remember spending hours flipping through the catalog when visiting my dad at work, marveling at the then hand-drawn illustrations of each product, wondering how a place could somehow sell what seemed like everything.

Even today, I use their site in a similar way. If I need to build something, fix something, or figure out what kind of parts for a project even exist, their site is usually my first stop, sometimes followed up with a text to my dad to ask him how he might solve it—which sometimes prompts him to walk out to his garage, pick up his now-dusty old copy of the printed McMaster book, and flip through it to find the right part.
I agree. In addition regulators have zero incentives to serve the interests of the regular people. They do, however, have a huge incentive to block the market for the new competition (aka regulatory capture) and then comfortably rest and vest in a major corporation after quitting their government job with full benefits.
I don't know if it would be effective at hiding you beyond the next few years when more comprehensive systems are in place, but I think a simple circuit that randomly blinks an IR LED would be handy. Something like an an LED throwie, but with random cycling. Put a bunch of them around and you'll probably screw up most cheap CCDs by forcing them to constantly adjust their exposure. Sure, a cheap filter can defeat them... But eventually we'll be in a world where there is no escape from integrated surveillance and jamming/hiding just raises flags.
The answer is I don't. I make heavy use of /, but for navigating within a line I make do with *#^$w.

It's kind of cool how you can get two Vim power users (not a group I count myself among, mind) in a room together and find they use a completely different subset of features.
Microservice API Generalisation
It gets much stronger when politics become mixed up with religion like it is in the United States. They feel their values should be imposed on others via law and regulations (see the recent nomination of the Supreme Court judge here who is very likely to be the deciding vote in removing healthcare protections from millions as well as denying women the right to do what they want with their body, possibly rescinding rights of people of color and LGBQT+ people back to the 1950s where they were openly attacked by police and put into mental wards). It's going to be a mess unless the Democrats stack the Supreme Court and neuter it.

As I recall, the tax is set so that it only affects people getting a relatively hefty amount of income and there's a credit on taxes paid outside the country.

But yeah, it's complex and it sucks and everything I know about it came from reading patio11's posts on it.
The idea that cameras "had a corrosive influence on the dignified conduct of American jurisprudence" is a deeply odd one, for all that it seems to be obviously true. What is the mechanism? I suspect it has more to do with how the footage is used outside the courtroom than anything that directly happens inside, but that's only a start of an answer. Is video actually easier to sensationalize than other media?

So I'm fairly certain this is what most drone operators will see on the screen. This video is over 13 years old though, so current optics are probably much more advanced than what was deployed in iraq. Near-future drones can also probably use 5G networks to transmit higher resolution videos. I don't think anyone can hide from this, even if they don't have anything to hide. False positives seem extremely likely and if the domestic drones won't shoot, they still will very likely be reporting a lot of crimes and violations that didn't actually happen. The guy in the video who the operators claimed was carrying an AK-47 that was also an RPG, was actually a reporter carrying a camera and laptop.
Jansson is one of the greats -- both for the seminal Moomin tales and lesser-known, more adult books like Sommarboken. I fell in love with her work through translations as a child but since reading the originals have realized that the English versions fail to do her justice -- one scene early in Kometen Kommer seems to have been entirely made up by the translator -- and, in general, are of widely varying quality (some are very good). I've considered writing my own, but it's still a pipe dream at this point.

More to the point, my relatives who lived through the war in Stockholm were really permanently changed by it. My great-grandfather Klas was somewhat shocked to learn about the Call of Duty franchise and delivered a serious lecture on the reality of war that I was thankfully barely old enough to grasp. I worry that society is forgetting the historicity of those experiences as his generation disappears. When books are all that's left, it's hard to keep in mind that all those awful things really happened to normal people and could happen again.
Has anyone tried starting a cult of goodism?
I was expecting this to be more about running inference in production, though the information in the article itself was interesting on its own.

There does seem to be a dearth of writing on the actual topic of deploying models as prediction APIs, however. I work on an open source ML deployment platform ( https://github.com/cortexlabs/cortex ) and the problems we spend the most time on/teams struggle with the most don't seem to be written about very often, at least in depth (e.g. How do you optimize inference costs? When should you use batch vs realtime? How do you integrate retraining, validation, and deployment into a CI/CD pipeline for your ML service?).

Not taking anyway from the article of course, it is well written and interesting imo.

My Dad was born around the same time as Joe Biden (a few years different) and also from Pennsylvania (though I don't think this is particularly associatsd with that region) and used it fairly frequently; I also remember hearing it fairly frequently growing up fron others of his age cohort (and Boomers) and media created by and for them.

I think it's a fading idiom, though.

MS Office was updated to use GPU accelerated rendering and I guess this has something to do with it. I don't know how this works (which API, which portions of the software, which algorithms) as details on that seem to be pretty sparse.

This matches with the trends I've seen with a browser plugin that I made that is used as an assistive technology for people with dyslexia.

Most of our press coverage has been in English, and I'm sure this affects the usage distribution. But we have actually been covered in about 20 different languages, and we're still way more popular in English than in those other languages.

tl;dr: When an "eval" redefines a top-level function, it does so AFTER the function returns. This makes it easier for the compiler to optimize appropriately. This is called "world age", where the compiler ensures that the age of a method is larger (newer) than the age of methods that are to be invoked. The rest of the paper formalizes this system into a logical calculus.
