If TypeScript becomes natively interpreted (instead of transpiled), I might actually consider using it for my personal projects. In the meantime, I don't use it because I cannot stand the build, bundling step and the problematic debugging experience with source mapping (and difficulty to debug production errors where source maps are not available). If you write code correctly with loose coupling and good tests, static typing only provides marginal benefits.
>> This kind of works okay when the other person is agreeing to being coached

This is a great point and totally agree. It's a little frustrating to have to spell out the entire context of the relationship in this case but people are for some reason eager to assume a context that puts the conversation in the worst possible light rather than seeing "oh yeah ok sometimes there's room for that kind of thing" and obviously you wield the tool with judgement.

One thing I really do appreciate is that some workplaces seem more geared for coaching and feedback than others. I haven't worked at Amazon for example but I understand that one of the reasons it's considered a hard place to work is that it's "not OK" to not want to improve and grow, so you give implicit consent to be coached by working there (obviously there's still room for empathy and handing it well) whereas other organizations (Google) seem to prioritize in-the-moment happiness so there's potential to be missing out on vital feedback for years - I actually asked about this a lot in my interviews there.
If it went down like this, then senior management is where the problem lies. Every CEO should know that expecting an AI to understand systems that humans can study for a lifetime and still get wrong is irrationally optimistic. Firing 25% of a team for a self-inflicted failure (by senior management) is another signal there is a deep management problem.
The overwhelming majority. Whatever used to take me an hour or two is now a 10-minute task.
Ask HN: Tips for more energy during day?
There are obvious ones like quality sleep, excercise, get some sunlight during the day and check your hormnes. I still feel a too drowsy during the day.

Do you have any personal experiences / anecdotes with what have helped you in the past?
I must note the seemingly recent trend of using 'rich' as a pejorative. When did success become a negative signal?
They were driving prices up by speculating on buying houses? Feels like it's great their data science team failed. More such failures should happen.
Some modern features such as class syntax, arrow functions were championed by coffeescript, and later adapted by TC39. It wouldn't be too far fetched to think that when TC39 will start considering adopting types, they will look similar to what we use nowadays in TypeScript.
That's a solution, but with tradeoffs:

* security, an attacker has more time to intercept and use the links and codes.

* UX, making the user wait 15+ minutes to do certain actions is quite terrible.

I've had a couple support requests about this. The common theme seems to be the customer is using Mimecast, and the fix is to add my sender address in a whitelist somewhere in their Mimecast configuration.
Good question. I don’t know. There are a lot of possible interacting causes. Let’s itemize a few.

So there is not checking. This seems unlikely given, as you point out, it’s data right at hand and, as I point out, they publish checks. In general, I’m suspicious of WOW PEOPLE ARE STUPID explanations.

There is checking and mistranslating model accuracy into business outcomes. The model is 90% accurate. Bid for 1000 houses. Maybe mainly people in the wrong by overpricing segment take you up on it. See the vast literature on adverse selection and winner’s curse.

There is tweaking the model because you want the a certain outcome.

> Over the last few weeks, it’s become clear that Zillow made a lot of mistakes. It tweaked its algorithm to be more aggressive with offers, winning bidding wars just as the market was starting to cool and overpaying for properties [1]

The CEO has commented that the volatility of the prediction was a problem. He mentioned that the unit economics swung from over plus 5% to minus 7%. So the model might be a accurate on average but too noisy for their purpose. [2]

Point is it’s not at all obvious that the problem here was accuracy on predictions of house prices.

I really hate to get pedantic here, but Linux is not an OS or a UI. Linux is a kernel, and the kernel's sole obligation is to handle processes and programs that exist outside of userland, and that's where redirection is a huge deal. Whether or not the user chooses to engage with it through a shell or CLI is up to them, but the feature is decidedly integral to running any Linux-based operating system these days.
Similar to your reply above about microservices, there are more benefits to ECS than data-oriented design.

Composability, separation of concerns, flexibility and simplicity were also some of the driving forces behind ECS.

Curious why didn't you flip it to Zillow ? If their prices are still not revised even after your buy wouldn't that be a good spread to exploit?

Node ESM support has gotten a lot better through versions 12-17. The biggest problems for workflows that currently work “well” for CJS are:

1. --experimental-loader is more complex and less stable than --require. But it’s also a lot more robust.

2. There’s no equivalent to the require cache, which makes mocking and long running processes like watch mode challenging. This is partly a benefit, as it discourages cache busting patterns like those used in eg Jest which create awful memory leaks.
I'm not sure I understand your question.

I do not believe that universal healthcare cannot exist without prohibition and regressive taxes.
I don't understand what you mean. While it's true that the traditional approach to virus diseases was "rest and wait until the immune system does its job", these days are long gone and we have many viral diseases well controlled by medicine. Sometimes you diminish the viral load to the level you can function normally, sometimes you prevent the replication so that the virus is no longer detectable etc. Yes, there are many viral diseases we have no cure for, but wouldn't it make sense if we treated it as a challenge - and one of the most urgent for the whole humanity?
Yep, that’s not the only thread from Zillow folks saying the same things. That their output has still been accurate and was overridden by management’s gut feelings.
If true, quite atrocious that the CEO is blaming the data science, either by maliciousness or ignorance of how the company is operating.
I'm running NixOS and they take care of my boot stages automatically. I have 2 disks with one boot partition each (unencrypted boot), raid1 for swap and data and neither suspend or hibernate is a problem, though I've previously had issues with not finding my bootloader at all, seems to be solved by calling sync on my boot partitions once I update grub (which nixos does every time I "rebuild" my setup, which is several times a day).

This is on a System76 Lemur Pro (lemp10).

The fancurve in the firmware is suboptimal, but there's a merged PR for solving that too.

I hope they make a fanless ultrabook (don't care if ARM or x86 tbh, as long as KVM works and AES is accelerated), then I could buy one for home as well.

I should note that it naturally takes awhile to wake from hibernation if I had a lot of applications running (40GB RAM, which is a weird configuration)
If the choice you're complaining about is bringing in slaves, that choice was made by the homogeneous English immigrants. So apparently homogeneity doesn't always lead to good choices. Consistently practicing the Christian values they preached might have, though. So really this is just another point for common culture > ethnic homogeneity.
Look at the way we screen resumes, or valorize work conditions incompatible with having family obligations. Ageism in the tech industry is rife.
Interesting. Is there any constraint built into the model that makes this possible? E.g. grammar, or semantics of the language? Or is it all based on deep learning only?
Upload ratios for all the interesting stuff (demos, MOD music, software) were a real headache for me as a teenager.

Typically the ratio was around 4:1 downloads vs. uploads. In other words, to download 4 megabytes, you were required to first upload a megabyte.

Since disk space was expensive, sysops on high-quality boards kept a close eye on uploads and verified them. If you uploaded junk, you'd probably get banned.

Where does a 13-year-old go find something to upload? There were a few older kids in my school who were connected to the "scene". I would sometimes try begging them with a floppy disk in hand. I don't recall it working often.

Upload ratios motivated me to create something of my own that would be decent enough to upload and not get me banned. That strategy didn't pay immediate dividends either, but it set me on a career path that has been mostly fulfilling and interesting.
Fair enough, but I think the issue here is recognizing that the underlying business operation is a hit test on an expiring hash key. You could have used MySQL as a key/value store or looked for something more specialized.
That is, admittedly, a lot higher than I was expecting! But 70% is still a sizeable majority. Moving the entire industry to grassland feeding would likely result in a fundamental upwards shift in how beef is priced, one that I suspect the GP would be unwilling to accept.
A long, long time ago it was possible to decrypt the original VideoCrypt with a serial connection attached to a smart card that ran software like 'Voyager' that could decrypt or bypass the keys/locks necessary to decode. This was running on a 286 laptop. Seems like an absolute lifetime ago now.

The measurement requirements come from politicians and funding agencies, and "what you measure is what you'll get" is a truism in organizational behavior.
Also because the vaccines are leaky and do not push the R0 below 1 and because the virus mutates around them. Hopefully reality catches up to our Pfizer spokesmodel health authorities in six months and they dial back the authoritarianism before there is major backlash.
The solution is some soul searching. Do you really need Babel and Webpack to build a web app? The answer is of course an astounding YES! Most developers cannot add text to a page without JSX, which therefore means React and everything it requires.

So when you dig even deeper this is really a people and training problem.
It used to be "beggars can't be choosers" now it's "beggars have a moral duty to be choosers and by the way the beggars are only begging because of systemic injustice and not due to any failing on their part and also if you criticize beggars you're punching down"
This is an interesting article, with some nice packages.

However, just in case anyone is starting out in LaTeX, I've been involved in over 100 papers written in LaTeX, and wrote my thesis, and it is incredibly rare that I've found the speed at which I can edit LaTeX in an advanced way was my limiting factor.

Nowadays I often use overleaf, which has an incredibly simplistic editor, but makes multi-person editing so easy I find it worth it.

The one 'avanced feature' I do find really useful is finding 'jump to this point in the PDF' from your editor, and 'jump to this point in the LaTeX' back from your PDF viewer back to the editor.
I'm sure someone said something similar when they first heard of the telephone.
It's good for the university-industrial-business complex - people writing papers about a model they can't even run themselves. It practically prints money in journal articles, travel per diem, and conference honorariam, not even counting the per-API call rates.
From the UK:

I was about 15, in 1993, when I managed to convince my parents to buy me a modem. I used to use it out of hours when phone calls were cheaper. Nevertheless, I think I managed to rack up a £200 phone bill in the first month or so.

Eventually I started running my own BBS, which would only become available at 8pm and come offline at 8am. If I remember correctly, I called it "The Graveyard". I had a steady stream of callers on the single line that it shared with the home phone. I would often chat to them via "Sysop Chat" whilst simultaneously talking to friends nearby over CB radio.

When I wasn't doing that, I was calling into all sorts of odd places - hacker boards (one of which I was thrown off for asking if there was a non-colour version, "l4mer", me on my Commodore PC20-III) - some cyberpunk boards (including the CyberCafe in London), and "Ooh!", on which I remember being repeatedly propositioned on various insalubrious chat groups, when I wasn't reading posts about Babylon 5 on Fidonet. On another I learned about raves happening vaguely nearby.

The whole thing was a wonderful, glorious chaotic mess. It felt like exploring a mysterious universe which was growing and mutating every day, full of infinite possibilities, and of course it was much better than what we have these days.
In theory yes; in practice it’s very easy to push inefficient code to production by accident, as shown in the article.
Just to make this fun.

Adding an index now increases the insert operation cost/time and adds additional storage.

If insert speed/volume is more important than reads keep the indexes away. Replicate and create an index on that copy.
I brought up Five Guys, mostly because they're one of the bigger and more geographically distributed chains. But I generally agree there are other chains in this general category that are better, sometimes significantly--not that I eat enough at them enough to have a strongly formed comparative opinion. Five Guys is also one of the more expensive and, as someone else mentioned, all their "free" toppings encourage people to toss on a bunch of stuff that makes the bun soggy.

If forced to choose, I'd probably go with In-N-Out though they don't exist around where I live and McDs fries are still better.
Yes, this is an old idea (which I really like) but it hasn't really taken off yet. GridCoin was one example, where you solved BOINC problems or RLC that's for more general computation.
You can also fake it. My app jel.app has avatars that have a lot of facial animation and it’s either random or just driven off voice, and conveys a lot imo.

There is a limit and a point where this can make things worse, but if it approximates what a person expects well enough and never conflicts with that expectation it’s a good tool.
> I'm anti-mask but pro-vax" makes very little sense. More like a troll post.

Why would this be a troll post? I’m vaccinated. Covid is not something I care about anymore. Why the hell should I wear a mask? There is zero reason. I could care less if I catch covid. I could care less about “cases” or “slowing the spread”. Covid is here forever. Accept the risk and move on.
Haha yes that was a classic! Also bunch of demo coding and electronics stuff as text files.. sound cards were pretty expensive back then, I remember downloading DIY AdLib instructions/schematics and my friends dad built it for a fraction of the cost of a real one
There's not much to learn at first! That's what `any` is for. You can scale up your learnings over time. It's one of the amazing benefits of the language, that there's no difficult on-ramp to start using it now. Just flipping it on will give you so much without even adding complex types.
This - it is tremendously valuable to me and I use it all the time at work.
If there is an ECMAScript type implementation some day in the future, someone will surely write a transpiler to turn typescript into the new standard.
Slightly extended, learn whatever your field / journal uses.

Many A.I. or maths conferences won't provide a Word template, only LaTeX. Other conferences and journals I've been involved with are Word only. Trying to fight against the default generally isn't worth the pain.
I started BBSing in 1988 or so. I ran my own from 1992 until 1997-ish, when it kinda fizzled out. I wrote my own BBS software, after teaching myself C. I even had Internet email and a few newsgroups through UUCP.

It was a tighter knit community: you got to know people locally, people you never would've met otherwise. That is something I really miss from the old BBS days: the local community aspect.
Can someone condense this down in to a couple of sentences ?

I think they've been a contributor. Having looked at many houses in various markets over the last few years, I feel their estimates are high but sellers take them as gospel.
> the known declining efficacy of the vaccines

I just want to point out that the main cause of breakthrough cases is having too many people be unvaccinated. They are breeding grounds for mutations, and the reason the word 'variant' is now in vogue.
One of the most popular, Zoho CRM has had that from the beginning. Pipedrive has it as well. Often CRMs call the IMAP feature "email sync" so the CIO at the customer doesn't go nuts about working around Outlook.
Risk of what? Who cares if people catch covid. It’s never going away. Covid is here forever. Get your vaccine and move on. Vaccines work.

This can be said about anything. For example, using Linux.

Windows has centuries of engineering hours poured into it. It works and is reliable. There's no reason to throw it away and use Linux. If you think Linux is free, wait until you see how much you pay per year in salaries for people whose whole job is to manage this OS.

Also, all existing DEs suck in some way or another. KDE is too bloated and slow. XFCE is too minimal. Gnome has countless bugs, and its performance is questionable.
Given how much companies like CapGemini, TCS and Infosys grew in Germany during the last 15 years, I bet VW still has plenty of business units going at it.
> It is really slow, with a text user interface or menu driven interface.

It should be stressed that "really slow" is relative. 1200 baud for text, specifically scrolling text, is really usable. You feel it much more if you're constantly repainting a screen (because now you're sending 2K of text over at 120 cps).

But scrolling simple prompts, simple menus, text messages are all fine at 1200 baud. That's faster than reading speed for most people. Systems were kept terse due to slower rates, but when it came down to actually "using" the systems, folks weren't typically shouting at their machines to go faster.

When BBSs became more focused on software than messaging, speed became a much bigger issue.
On what unclear basis the statement is legitimate 'One personally thinks there's absolutely no downside to X, so everyone who doesn't is an idiot' ?!

Look: even when the statement is disambiguated as 'A personally thinks there's absolutely no downside to X, [and from that also thinks] everyone who doesn't is an idiot', no, A is not entitled to think that "people with different ideas are idiots". A is supposed to have had an amount of intellectual experience in the past, that has already clearly and inequivocally shown A that A is fallible, and has only limited information and a partial grasp of the world.
The GPT-3 family is still to expensive to use, too big to fit in memory on a single machine. Prices need to come down before large scale adoption or someone needs to invent the chip to hold it (cheaply).

The most exciting part about it is showing us there is a path forward by scaling and prompting, but you can still do much better with a smaller model and a bit of training data (which can come from the expensive GPT-3 as well).

What I expected from the next generation: multi-modality, larger context, using retrieval to augment input data with fresh information, tuned to solve thousands of tasks with supervised data so it can generalize on new tasks better, and some efficient way to keep it up to date and fine-tune it. On the data part - more data, more languages - a lot of work.
Same here. When I first experienced HD VR, I knew it had the power to be extremely addictive. However, the plug and play experience isn't there. Yet. Still waiting for the killer app.
Clearly it worked.

However...

Consider the rows `a b c d e` and `f b h i j`.
How many times will `b` be stored in the two formulations? 2 and 1, right? The data volume has a cost.

Consider the number of cycles to compare a string versus an integer. A string is, of course, a sequence of numbers. Given the alphabet has a small set of symbols you will necessarily have a character repeated as soon as you store more values than there are characters. Therefore the database would have to perform at least a second comparison. I imagine you're correctly objecting that in this case the string comparison happens either way but consider how this combines with the first point. Is the unique table on which the string comparisons are made smaller? Do you expect that the table with combinations of values will be larger than the table storing comparable values? Through this, does the combinations table using integer comparisons represent a larger proportion of the comparison workload? Clearly she found that to be the case. I would expect it to be the case as well.
It was expensive in phone line charges intercity. It was slow, as in hollywood hacker movies where characters printed one at a time making funny noises. And it was a thrill. It is now hard to apraise how isolating is being limited to interact with people you physically know. You got prestige resending interesting content and information had to be free. Now you retweet stuff. You can experience it yourself, google for telnet bbs. https://www.pcmag.com/news/7-modern-bbses-worth-calling-toda...
