i strongly agree with what you are saying about Jupyter, however i strongly disagree about using netobooks in general (literal programming)

one of the key things that a good notebook system must allow you to do is to mix something like markup format + LaTeX + source code. writing math-heavy documentation and explanations is simply impractical and limited (readability suffers) if done in comments. jupyter however is severely limited as it is unreadable in its raw format and therefore does not play well with a version control system such as git

instead there is a solution that allows one to do everything jupyter does good with the additional benefit that it plays with version control really well - ie org-mode [1]. the only difference is that instead of using a browser to interact with it, you use emacs. the added benefit to this is that you can also use full-featured key bindings (emacs / vim) and even integrate a language server for auto-completion [2]

EDIT: moreover the list of supported languages in orgmode far exceeds that of jupyter [3] (or did the last time i made this comparison)

This. That editorial and its new policies might be justified, but it is definitely a watershed.

The old model was: scientists discover facts about the world, politicians/society decide what to do with these facts.

This new policy undermines the separation of descriptive (purely factual) and prescriptive, normative (infused with value judgements) statements.

Should physicists and engineers worry about whether a discovery they make could be used for new weapons?
The plant has evolved capsaicin as an animal deterrent as only birds can disperse chilli pepper seeds while animals digest the seeds. No other animal other than humans like chilli. Humans are an exception because we cook our food and cooking alters food chemistry in a such way that spices become desirable when mixed with meat or vegetables. You won't be able to eat even 50g of ripe red chillies freshly plucked from the chilli shrub.
Yes that’s a big plus of notebooks. Hopefully a solution can be found for .py files in future where you can earmark the top part of the script to be cached so the interpreter skips over it
Is the distinction between 'liking a thing' and 'enjoying the feeling induced by a thing' important?
Take home tests that are difficult enough for the questions to not be easily answered on Stack Exchange or paid sites. This is fairly easy to do in upper-division undergraduate courses as well as graduate courses. Not so easy for lower-division courses. The closest I've seen for a lower-division class was a professor who made as much of the exam content based off examples from lecture material, but I always saw that as a way to punish students who ditched lectures.
It is the opposite, the submitter sends a patch aka $100 and then the maintainer rejects the money/patch.

It costs more wholesale than a regular .com, requires handing over PII to a small company and isn't subject to the same price increase limits.

Obviously won't work for everyone but I bought <firstname><lastname>.com instead and its 50% cheaper per year than the equivalent .id.au which should have maybe a few dozen other people in Australia vying for it with first/last name and I assume no one else with my middle names included.
Got it. Thank you so much for your reply.
ginger, black pepper or long pepper could be a better example
I guess so. Most of the tests I;ve taken at college were the same tasks as in previous years, just with changed numbers.
... or not. That also happened.
Looks like a nice building, my guess is it would be more comfortable to remain there than to lock down alone in your apartment; especially when considering the company could get negative PR if your basic needs aren't met.

To be clear, I'd prefer not being locked up anywhere, but if you have no choice then at least the building with better amenities seems the logical choice. :)
I once wrote such a system in JS. For every element, up could specify which elements it needed to cover (complete with a priority rule for cycles). It worked perfectly, but it was slow, because the number of constraints rises quickly if you rely on it too much (and it needs to add all kinds of intermediate constraints to maintain the default visual hierarchy).

I suggest making up a domain name unrelated to your actual name exactly because of this.

I occasionally have them raw in salads, though more often pickled (still technically raw I suppose). Chopped up and cooked in something too of course. I don't think that's unusual of me.

I've had a few occasions that employees thought I worked for the company based on my email.

On one occasion, I was checking into a Hilton hotel and the employee thought I worked for corporate due to my email, hilton@domain.tld.

In the past, I used to explain to them how I control the domain and I have separate emails for every company due to spam reasons. However, this usually caused confusion so now I sometimes go along with what they think or hint that I'm some 'mystery shopper'.

Walking and driving are not mutually exclusive. You can drive and go to restaurants far away even though if you have 5 restaurants in walking distance.

Source: Last 20 years I lived in cities with population from 5M to 15M and I always had at least 10 restaurants at walking distance and I used public transport and cars to go to places way beyond the walking distance.
Many of the target problems identified here (NLP, constraint solving)for which logic/prolog were used in the past have simply been replaced by brute force sat solving and deep nets: thinking as pattern matching.

I hear less and less about prolog used anywhere.

Edit: I'd like to hear why this is downvoted. Not objecting to the downvote, but would like a reason.

Here's some anecdotal evidence: google trends for "prolog" looks like this:

I'm sure upthread was being sarcastic.

The trend to conflate violence and words is dangerous. While words can lead to violence, to say that words are violence tacitly allows physical retaliation for speech that the listener does not like. We learnt as children this is wrong, and it remains so for adults.
Love restic. Every time I have run it in the past few years I have got a nice “Back up and prune finished successfully” message!

Yeah, a few months ago I subscribed to Le Figaro (French newspaper). I hadn't heard anything about cancelling the subscription for this particular newspaper, but I had heard horror stories about Le Monde (yup, the famous one).

Just to be extra sure, I subscribed through Apple. The "cancel subscription" always worked and I never had to send any letter or spend any amount of time on the phone.

If I hadn't been aware of the Apple loophole, they wouldn't have gained my as a subscriber.
I believe the document lied about the intended audience - both directly stating and, through form and aesthetics, implying, that it was for one audience while truly being for another - to mislead the reader into thinking it was more authoritative than it actually was. Were this to be a blog post or press release, I wouldn't call it deceptive.

I go into slightly more detail on this point here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32603317

No, I don't believe it would read the same without emphasis. Especially since the emphasis is often on superlatives rather than the substance of certain statements. I'm not sure what to say other than, "emphasis is a tool of graphic design that does, in fact, function." It guides the eye and enables the reader to skim, and if you took away the emphasis, this document would be less effective, at least if the goals of the document are what I have argued.

How they would be able to "refuse to pay" if payment will come as form of taxes for goods and services? And moreover they won't be able to "force" government to anything since government will be representing and working for the majority of people who voted for them: older generations

Taking extra time is no guarantee of a better quality result the same way being fast is no guarantee that work was sloppy.

Interesting tidbits to HN users, who like to complain about new Twitter accounts being disabled and required to add a phone number: this is called "ROPO" internally, and multiple executives actually want that to be disabled. But Mudge asked for research that proved it was one of the most efficient anti-spam measure they have at their disposal.
Thats a great story!
Yeah this seems to be the most relevant explanation:

You don't notice it in the same way you don't notice the air you breathe. When someone points it out though, you should probably listen at least, even if you choose not to act.

I'm Bulgarian. We've been slaves longer than the trans-atlantic slave trade existed. Up until 45 years ago we were a puppet state of the USSR with zero political rights. Don't fucking lecture me how privileged I am. And you'll notice that despite being significantly poorer than even poor Americans, we don't riot and loot and burn buildings every time there is a political controversy.

>which [why?] is this suddenly a problem?

Because most of teachers didn't teach online class before. They are not used to design exams that would not be way too easy it suddenly becomes open book.

I won't even say they're "lazy", coming up good take-home exams is super hard, especially when you spend your entire career not need to do that.

> if people want to cheat they can find some way to cheat regardless of any countermeasures you deploy.

I agree if it's online exam, it's kinda doomed either way. But it's more to act as a deterrent than total solution. And it does work to some "less-adventurous" students.

Note: above is just directly replying to your questions. I don't support scanning student's room.
There are still a lot of more-or-less-shit automatics being manufactured. Even if they collectively has gotten quite a bit better over the years.

The six-speed automatic in my KIA for example, is from the past three years and it is not entirely great. It is perfectly fine 98% of the time, but those last two percent...

* Shifting speed is highly unpredictable on kick-down

* In certain temperatures it will slam the shift from first to second even when taking of very softly

* It will randomly decide to stay in a needlessly low gear on long, gentle inclines, even though there is plenty of power in higher gears if you force an up-shift in manual mode

* On low-speed sharp inclines (like my own residental street) it desperately stays in second gear to the point of almost stalling the engine, before does a brutal panic-downshift to first gear

But in standard highway driving or city-stop-and-go it is really nice.
Students and teachers have been cheating before pencil and paper. Do you ever wonder why some college students have near-perfect SAT scores yet can barely rub two English words together?
Not connecting the eating with the subsequent suffering.
I've just recently switched from Homebrew to MacPorts on OSX, after using Homebrew for as long as I can remember.

I got sick of having to wait several minutes for homebrew to crank into action and check for updates every time I fired it up and also the fact that they've been actively deprecating older versions of OSX. [Im still happily using Mojave on my antiquated laptop and desktop].

Then there were the build times which, in some cases, would take hours and leave my laptop hot enough to fry eggs on.

Since switching to MacPorts [fingers crossed!] I've had no problems so far; It checks for updates much quicker. It never has problems finding versions of software which will run on Mojave [and it doesn't keep warning me that I'm "on my own" for running an older version of OSX!]. Install times are much faster, as MacPorts favours pre-built binaries.

The only issues I've had so far have been a few obscure edge cases, such as VSCodium plugins where they've stopped working and I've needed to update the binaries they're configured to point to, away from /usr/local/bin/ [Homebrew] to /opt/local/bin/ [MacPorts].

I could [in the past] see the need for Homebrew on OSX. But I certainly don't have any intention of letting it anywhere near any of my Linux boxes. Especially as they already have decent package management built in.
For medium and somewhat hot peppers, the rule is pretty simple. Don't eat more than you are willing to chew. Mostly this is a problem of eating whole seeds or big chunks of pepper you aren't actually chewing up and digesting.

Once you go hot enough, this won't matter. But I guess it's part of the experience.

Sounds like semantics.
You can only react to OOM when the OS gives you the necessary tools - under ordinary OSs malloc will not fail, even if it couldn’t actually allocate - actual allocation only happens when one writes to the location.

But it doesn’t really apply to the topic at hand, just wanted to add.
I seriously doubt slaves would have been profitable for the western railway. Blasting tunnels was very skilled work, and very dangerous. Would you want slaves, who hated your guts, handling nitroglycerin? You'd need as many armed guards as slaves.

I would say it's considered heretical elsewhere in the world too, because of the vastly increased risk of SIDS.

> My partner does a lot of art and frequently draws in social settings.

Just as an aside: drawing is just a technical activity, no diferent than programming. It can be creative or pretty rote (just ask any game dev artist working on yet another big guy with an axe) - same as programming. Same with music, btw.

That's a common explanation but the article links to a study that supports another explanation, capsaicin having likely evolved for its antimicrobial properties instead:

A digital euro

The digital euro would be like euro banknotes, but digital. It would be an electronic form of money, issued by the Eurosystem (the ECB and the national central banks of the euro area), and would be accessible to all citizens and firms.

A digital euro would not replace cash, but rather complement it. A digital euro would give people an additional choice about how to pay and make it easier to do so, contributing to accessibility and inclusion.

One wonders for what reason this page exists at all—other than to ensure us our leaders are keenly aware of the unquestionable necessity in this age and day to write DIGITAL in capital letters all over the place.

No '/s' I mean it, these are people who rip out perfectly functioning systems that have been in place for many decades only to replace them with more crappy, more vulnerable but at-least-hey-it's-DIGITAL systems.

Our train networks used to have people everywhere, on the yards, in the signal boxes. Signals were controlled electrically, and in many cases, mechanically with pull wires. Now it's no-man's land, centrally controlled. One could've added digital to the mix as an additional safeguard. But no that would've meant to employ people and obviously, we can't have that. We must do everything in a centralized way with as many staff as possible, because centralized systems with single points of failure hooked up to the internet and responding to RF signals are inherently much safer than analogue, distributed systems. I mean, obviously, right?

At least in this case, they seemingly do the right thing by assuring us that the digital Euro would complement, not replace cash. That said, there's an ungood tendency already of politicians to call for the abandonment of cash because it's so archaic and of course that we can now do much better, with computers. Right, until the network or the grid is down. As long as they're not, we already have digital ways to pay and transfer money, so one wonders what an expressly 'digital Euro' would add to the mix.
Even with the hot streak in 2019, his performance rating was 2889, which is not enough. It could have continued for a thousand games and it would not have been enough. He will need more wins against high rated players, even more wins than in 2019.

Quote from the article: "...won every tournament he took part in, scored 32 wins, 47 draws and not a single loss, with a rating performance of 2889."
No, it is not acceptable that we have to give up privacy for some stupid exam cheating problem. There are going to be lots of problems and inconveniences like this. We have a legacy of 250 years of constitutional protection of privacy.

Solve the fucking problem without violating privacy. If it doesn't get solved, fine, let it be. Accept those consequences and live with it.
There is always a lot of org-mode promotion on here when the topic is interactive notebooks. And I get it, people love it and it solved many of the problems other systems have. But org-mode users need to understand that the one thing holding org-mode back is simply emacs. I know you probably all love it, but everyone else is not interested in breaking of their fingers by learning obscure key command chains just to use org-mode. Sorry, but that is just the reality.
If someone can implement the majority of org-mode in a better editor, there might be more users interested. But as it stands, it's just to much of a hassle.
However, speed has to be balanced against things like:

- Doing customer research/building the right things

It's usually much faster to build something and let the users tell you why it's wrong than to research the crap out of something and hope to get it right first time. Usually you'll just have users tell you why it's wrong anyway (even if that directly contradicts what they said in the research phase), so skip the research stage and just get to the build-and-get-feedback bit as fast as you can.

Also, in a startup where you're a founder very often your instincts for a solution will be pretty good. Research shouldn't really be giving you any huge insights early on.
I think the subset of humans that enjoy the thrill of jumping of cliffs would say, if asked 'what do you like to do in your spare time' in an interview or whatever, 'jumping off cliffs' (or whatever the sport name for it is).

It would take a pretty tedious person to say 'well I don't like jumping out of planes but I do enjoy the thrill of it, going HALO jumping next weekend if you ~want to join m~ might enjoy the thrill of joining me'.
More than that, your spare email to control your main domain needs to be on a different domain, else you risk to be unable to solve any problems with your domain, because your email won't be accessible.

Ideally your domain registrar would allow to use a username, multiple emails, a phone number, and a 2FA not connected to any of them, like TOTP.

Managing this all is a tall order. This is why gmail and hotmail are so popular.
Good article.

It reminds me that the so-called "observer effect" prevents a debugging and testing environment from reflecting production perfectly. However, there's certainly a balance which must dictate the degree to which the QA process is relied upon.

Given that OK-Cupid is a dating app meant for "fun", I'm not surprised that the testing environment was somewhat loose and informal. However, as the author alludes, when the consequences of failure ramp up... testing and QA become absolutely indispensable.

IMHO, the trick is being able to mirror as much as possible between the QA and production environments... and then determining when to deploy. This needs a fair bit of experience, subject matter expertise, and of course luck. You can never discount luck.
