It's divided based upon total additions to the final data set I believe. They have github repo for their bounty board that shows that calculation I think.

I think the final calculation is based on the percent you've added to the final dataset.

yeah here's the repo that calculates the final payment.

I was reminded of Frank Zappa's "I Am the Slime" (about television):

You will obey me while I lead you

And eat the garbage that I feed you

Until the day that we don't need you

Don't go for help ... No one will heed you

Your mind is totally controlled

It has been stuffed into my mold

And you will do as you are told

Until the rights to you are sold
You can write python to be performant for either CPython or for PyPy. It's very difficult to write code that is performant on both. If you are targetting PyPy, be explicit about it and go full RPython on it.

If you are targetting CPython, try to be "pythonic"[0] and then drop to C/++ (through numba, cython, nuitka, pure C or whatever way you like best) if your performance requirements need it.

I'm not familiar with Jython and IronPython innards to know what's the best way to handle performance for them. Most probably it's very different than CPython and PyPy.

So like you said, keep things reasonable and don't depend on implementation details--unless you are explicit in your target/supported interpreter and you absolutely need to squeeze the performance out of the code.
His appearance at this event must have been just about peak ESR. I've been following his long slow slide into crank-dom on his blog, at least up until its stop last fall. I wonder what he's up to now.
Joining on a list (as in function two()) is no more memory intensive than joining on a generator expression (function one()). This is surprising at first. Raymond Hettinger has a very good explanation.[0] In short, it's because "".join() needs to iterate over the elements twice, and so it needs to store the whole sequence of string anyway.

Yep, Apple's operations and logistics are second to none in this industry.

Watching AMD, NVIDIA, Sony, Microsoft and others struggling so much manufacturing their products, and then having Apple launch:
- 2 new Apple Watches
- 4 new iPhones
- 3 new Macs
- Airpods Max
- Homepod Mini

All with Apple's own custom designed chips, even relying on the same chip fabs as those other companies, and still managing to mostly avoid the huge shortages that those others have faced is impressive.

It's probably a combination of their operations, logistics, supply networks - their predictable yearly cycles that allows them to plan out further in advance, having higher margin products that allows them to outbid the competition for capacity, etc, etc...

But as someone who did the fight for the new AMD CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs, been on the look out for the new Sony console, and bought a new iPhone, Apple Watch & Homepod mini on release - the Apple experience was such a breeze in comparison. It may seem like an odd thing to be impressed by, but with how much everyone else has been struggling - for it to appear to relatively easy for Apple is notable.
Doesn't jitter depend more on the network latency, rather than the real-timeliness of the process?
Genuinely curious - why do you say that? It might not be something they can export to other countries, but that’s mostly because of the rap that they have for surveillance and data collection and not because of a lack of resources. For the domestic market I don’t see why they can’t make their own silicon or software. I’d love to hear thoughts on the matter.
I wouldn’t say I have issues talking to people on the phone, but having worked remotely for ~12 years, I’ll say this: if an actual voice call is your default/preferred method of communication for remote working, you’re doing it wrong IMO.
Why not PTP too?
This is off-topic trivia, but since it's clear it wasn't a typo: it's "k8s", not "k8", and it originates from "kubernetes" having 8 letters between "k" and "s". Similar to "a11y" ("accessibility") or "i18n" ("internationalization") or "a16z" ("andreessen horowitz").
The "assuming they are making good money" is an important phrase here. Unless they are doing livestreaming, where they can make quite a bit of money on "Superchats" and memberships with a smaller audience, or have a 3rd party money making tool like Patreon, with members only content, you need to have a very large view count to get enough money on just Ad revenue.

Though I completely agree with what you are saying as whole, being picked up for television could be a bad thing for content creator. If they can manage an audience and can work out ways to monetize not just on Ad revenue that can be a lot better in the long run.
I would like a named list of such buyers. Not their employers. The actual natural person names. So I know which clients to decline outright based upon the name of the buyer I'm working with, if I find out they are anywhere in the chain of procurement during negotiations. I have happily told buyers "no" on numerous occasions (there is an art to how to decline a customer's request, or to decline the customer themselves). Warren Buffett was right: knowing when to judiciously say "yes" is a key factor in managing your time.
I think that is fantasy land thinking on the part of all 3, and I am sure past companies all thought the same thing until someone did out compete them...

Telsa is even more fantasy to believe Ford, VW, or Toyota will never be able to out compete them in manufacturing. Ohh sweet child.....
All the GPT-3 products seemed to be overpriced.

They were nice, there were these things that generated lyrics and stuff, but the payment model would be something like 14 cents per roll, and that's not worth it. The only pricing scheme I liked was AI Dungeon.

Maybe it's a little overpriced - everyone thinks they can use AI for everything and perhaps they're right, but the solution is a bit heavy at the time. I have a site that I'd love to plug into one of these (http://random-character-generator.com). I don't think it needs anything as hardcore as GPT-3, but there's not a lot of options out there.
I was still on the family G3 in 1999, was it difficult to buy a PC without Windows at the time?
Obviously original authors want users to use their cloud.
> The windows EULA (End User License Agreement) clearly states that the agreement can be refused by the end user, and that windows can be returned to the manufacturer. In real life, however, manufacturers typically say that they can't refund the windows license and tell the user to contact microsoft directly. I can't say I really blame manufacturers for doing that [...]

I can. If companies want to profit by being a middle-man between the OS developers and the consumer, then they also inherit the responsibility of actually dealing with said consumer. If Microsoft wants to be a pain in their arse and make it harder for them to actually fulfil their obligations as a merchant, maybe they should stop doing business deals with a company that's actively hostile to them.

It's the same thing as tech stores that try to foist you over the the hardware manufacturer if you buy a faulty component from them. You don't get to put your fingers in the pie and then claim that you have no responsibility to ensure the quality of an item you're advertising and selling.

I don't think this is as much of a problem as the majority of hackernews seems to think. Of course, that is controversial to say here, but I was told I shouldn't be conventional minded.

At the end of the day the world is shaped more by material conditions than ideas. That doesn't excuse the cases you're worried about, but I think the majority of violently polarising media will only end up being so because there was already some resource dispute in the first place. It would make more sense, then, to tackle those issues, rather than fruitlessly trying to engineer the human brain to be less susceptible to rhetoric.

A lot has changed.

No thanks to Microsoft, but a lot has changed.

Drivers are much better now and many large companies supply their own drivers (though frustratingly often as binaries).

Some companies like Dell offer Linux specific SKUs with somewhat tuned drivers.

There are companies making Linux first desktops. Linux first servers are extremely common. There is a lot of hardware not just shipping with Linux but designed for Linux first.

It's a world better now than it was in the mid-late 90s.
It’s weird that this is being spun as a wind turbine problem when during the winter they don’t generate as much power as usual. There was a big screw up in the other areas that generate power it seems (like natural gas that is in high demand in the winter).

The suburban agriculture movement is one option.

It is however hampered by the reality that in in a lot of suburbs, growing food - especially in the front yard - is perceived similarly to hang-drying laundry, which is that it signals poverty, and is often prevented by city councils and HOAs.

This is an outcome of the sociological reasons why suburbs formed in the first place.
I think it was meant in regards to refunding the Windowx tax or buying computers with Linux preinstalled universally.

Some like Lenovo were giving customers very hard time in getting a refund. And only very recently they started offering Linux preinstalled on some of their models for regular users.

Some things like you mentioned above are of course much better today. But Windows tax situation is still a mess.
It seems slow to me. Every choice takes a few seconds before I can make the next choice.

Ask HN: How do you securely handle user-generated content
I'm developing a simple app where users can upload pictures. The app directly uploads images to Firebase Storage from the client, and sends the URL of the uploaded image to my server. I'm concerned about the security of this. There's no way to rate-limit users uploading images, so one malicious user could hypothetically upload millions of images and burn through my budget.

What's the standard way of handling this? I'm also considering proxying uploads through my server which gives me more control but is less performant and wouldn't really stop a dedicated user.

I hate calls too, but having worked remotely for ~6 years, I think it works depending on who you talk to.

With messages, sometimes they're not quite there. Some people will glance, do a thing, but they didn't read the message properly and it's the wrong thing. Or they misunderstand the concept, and need you to repeat it a few times.

Or in some cases, people get offended by words - typically an overworked developer and a tester, or a manager behind schedule, and you need an apologetic tone or a bit of humor before they blow up at each other.
The commenter's point isn't that philosophers generally endorse dualism, it's that even those who claim to be monist materialists, etc. tend to possess latently dualist assumptions or conceptions of what consciousness is. Chalmers in particular pokes at this issues and challenges physicalists to either totally reimagine their understanding of the mind (cf. Dennett among others), which is mired in semantic and other difficulties, or perish.

Moreover, dualism is certainly no longer dying (or dead)—this is confirmed both by reading the literature and surveying departments. It's certainly not as unusual as it once was.
I think mock interviews from a FAANG engineer for free could be a big ask. There is a service that will match you up with a FAANG engineer. It is not inexpensive, as it costs $100 per interview last I checked. Good luck!

Yes and no. Name brand computers tended to come with Windows. But there was a printed monthly magazine called the Computer Shopper that had ads for mail-order stuff of every possible description, and you could buy a motherboard plus the rest of the pieces without Windows.

Right about that time period, copy protection of the Windows CD's was altering the equation.
You understand airplanes thanks to air foils, not the study of birds, bumblebees, or bats.

Not that it's wasteful to study birds. It's just somewhat ironic that studying birds teaches us very little about practical flight.

I think it's important to learn the human mechanism for learning. It's clearly not backprop, any more than a propeller compares to bird wings. Understanding human learning would have huge implications for the field of education, rhetoric, marketing, UI design and more.

What level are the differences at? I can see each state having a different reporting format. Do the differences go down to the electoral district or county or something?

In Canada it's nice and easy - federal elections are handled by Elections Canada, provincial elections are handled by each province's election authority, and we don't have cases where an election at one level results in a person at a higher level getting into office. Well, except for Alberta's senate elections which are somewhat farcical anyway (senators are appointed by the Prime Minister, so the results of this particular election are basically vague suggestions that the PM sometimes follows).
According to the Tampa Bay Times, "The tunnel would only be accessible to electric vehicles, since a major point of construction cost savings would be the tunnel’s lack of ventilation."

I have zero experience with tunneling, and would love someone with experience to correct me. But even if access is restricted to electric vehicles, I'm unclear how the tunnel could get by without ventilation. Leaving aside the lack of exhaust from the vehicles themselves, surely there's the issue of temperature control? And if (God forbid) there's a tunnel collapse or something, you'd still want backup sources of air from the surface?

Hey don't jump to conclusions, downvotes all around here! (I upvoted your perfectly reasonable and honest question)
(2018)

Apparently the paper is https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/basr.12169, but it's not open access.

According to the press release and abstract, the paper analyzes Bitcoin under a framework proposed by J. G. Fichte, an important philosopher who was a follower of Immanuel Kant.

This seems like a worthwhile contribution, although we've seen that (1) a lot of thought on economics has happened since Fichte, and (2) there's so little consensus in economics, either on positive or on normative claims. I'm not optimistic that many people would be intuitively persuaded by Fichte's claims about what currencies are for. (But I appreciate the concept of discussing and debating what currencies are for.)

Here is a long-post-Fichte claim (I don't know whether Scharding considers it, because of the not-open-access part) that currencies can work better, for some specific notions of "better", if they're regional rather than worldwide (also a position that Scharding apparently attributes to Fichte):

Stock options aren't equivalent to just buying stock.

They are equivalent to letting you travel back in time to the date when the strike price was set to buy stock based on your future knowledge (and using your future money).

That's obviously not worthless. It's much harder to determine the value of than RSUs, but it's potentially very valuable.

This sort of “efficient markets” claim is fully general: you can use it to discourage any kind of activism. If voters wanted things to be a certain way, they would already be that way!

In practice we’re seeing engagement from people who weren’t previously engaged. NIMBYs are more loud and tenacious than they are numerous. Also support from people who perhaps thought (and perhaps still think) that developers are kind of slimy, but are now weighing housing supply effects as well. None of this was happening when only project sponsors and reactionaries cared.

Pyroscope pros:

* it's open source, you can use it locally, or deploy it in your infra

* our timeline UI is more intuitive imo, e.g you can easily zoom in on particular time ranges you're interested in, you can try it on our demo page: https://demo.pyroscope.io/?name=hotrod.golang.customer%7B%7D...

* it's gonna be cheaper to run in most cases

* we have Ruby support

Pyroscope cons:

* no support for tags right now. There is support for this in the storage engine, but we need to wire the UI and integrations to take advantage of it

* no Java support yet

* no support for memory / IO profiling yet, just CPU
