skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Here is my setup:

- I have a ~/.python/sitecustomize.py file with the following:

# Start debug on Exception

import bdb
import sys

def info(type, value, tb):

if hasattr(sys, 'ps1') \
or not sys.stdin.isatty() \
or not sys.stdout.isatty() \
or not sys.stderr.isatty() \
or issubclass(type, bdb.BdbQuit) \
or issubclass(type, SyntaxError):
# we are in interactive mode or we don't have a tty-like
# device, so we call the default hook
sys.__excepthook__(type, value, tb)
else:
import traceback, ipdb
# we are NOT in interactive mode, print the exception...
traceback.print_exception(type, value, tb)
print
# ...then start the debugger in post-mortem mode.
ipdb.pm()

sys.excepthook = info

It will start ipdb automatically in case of any exception on command line called scripts.

- I use the awesome pdb emacs package for debug interactivelly during bigger bug hunts (Also for dev too... It's very a nice tool)

- Buutt... I still find the "print dance" to be my first-to-use quick tool.

edit: Fixed pasted code
Once something functions as a mature currency, everything is priced against it, so it is no longer volatile.

In contrast, when something functions as a commodity, it is highly volatile.

Right now, bitcoin functions as a commodity, but perhaps someday, it will function as a mature currency.

As a side note, your comment is bizarre. There is no reason to think a fixed supply would lead to volatility. Quite the opposite. A changing supply leads to volatility. You can still avoid high volatility in that case if the rate of change is well-established and the people controlling the rate of change are trusted (as is the case now with the USD, but perhaps that will not always be so).

Q: How much money is this retrial about?
A: It's about a replacement amount for a $410 million portion of the August 2012 $1.049 billion verdict. The replacement amount could be more or less than the original one. Apple will be awarded (subject to an appeal) $639 million plus the replacement amount.

I wonder, is it possible to learn how to have selective hearing?

I think I learned it by working in a loud dorm, then a loud house, and then a loud work environment. It's no issue for me to ignore other people now. It's actually a joke in my office where people struggle to get my attention while I'm focused.

Yes, and most of those things are already available as modular open source tools that fit well in the Node ecosystem. Encouraging people to use one giant, closed, monolithic program for all of those purposes is not a good step forward for Node.
I haven't used Datomic at all myself, though I was at this event and I found it very appealing.

The issue of having an easy audit trail is absolutely critical for many businesses, and is ill-served by most existing databases.

This is one thing I liked about CouchDB - CouchDB does not enforce this strictly, the way Datomic does, but the model encourages "append to edit" rather than strict modification. I haven't had the time yet, but I'm excited to check out Datomic specifically for this reason.

Let me tell you my story. I have been rejected just because I don't have enough activity on my github account. I am a young college senior. My most of "good" projects aren't on GitHub. They are not open source. So does that mean that I don't add up ? No. How can you expect undergrad college students to have 1000s of commits in popular repos ?
> I haven't used sage. How does it measure up vs. Mathematica and Maple?

Sage can produce some very interesting results, but it has a rather steep learning curve and requires more study and time than the commercial alternatives.

Sage has a full house of powerful mathematical tools, suitable for professionals as well as students, but you have to read more documentation than its alternatives require, and there are no sophisticated tab-completion features and wizards to accomplish various tasks.

One of Sage's advantages is that it can use a browser as an interface, offering a pretty nice working environment that relies on the browser's abilities. Example: http://i.imgur.com/VvrGng2.png

Over time Sage has gotten much better, mostly because of all the skilled volunteers finding and fixing bugs and writing new abilities into the feature set. But it's not Mathematica, and it's not US$2500.00 for a license (alternative: US$1000.00 per year) (source: http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/how-to-buy/industry-indiv...).
I'm a big fan of Python Tools for Visual Studio (https://pytools.codeplex.com/). Assuming Njs4VS lives up to it's predecessor, it could be a truly wonderful tool.
(I'm a woman and) I didn't even know that was a thing until a few years ago. Kind of thought it was a given that we split for dinners, nobody drives me home (ugh, that's kind of creepy on a first date) and on the first few dates the only thing I'll accept is a drink of some sort and that's it. Then some of my male friends went on to enlighten me with their first date stories...wow.

Dating sites tend to give women the advantage though (that I had to finally make my okcupid profile only visible to women interested in women due to too many guys messaging me is unbelievable to a lot of my guy friends) so I can see why some women would see things that way. The guy that goes the extra mile to do something...kind of unfair and terrible...stands out more than being just one among many half interesting conversations there.

Not that that's right, but a lot of women rather enjoy it. :/

In particular, the "babble" generator. The babble blends with actual conversations so you can no longer distinguish spoken words and reduces what would otherwise be attention grabbing conversations a to coffee shop level din.

This certainly isn't the default. Could you elaborate more on how you set this up?

Edit: Found my answer. M-x org-preview-latex-fragment, which is bound to C-c C-x C-l.

Edit 2: Hey look, you can get tikz working! Evaluate or add this to your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'org-latex-packages-alist '("" "tikz" t))
(setq org-latex-create-formula-image-program 'imagemagick)

Then, type the following into an Org-mode document and press C-c C-x C-l:

\draw[fill=green] (3,0) circle (9);
\draw[fill=orange] (1,0) circle (5);

\end{tikzpicture}
Just seen that.

For what it's worse, this kind of critics hurt less from a fellow french (maybe because we have endured stupid governments together?).

My comment was not my brightest, far from it (none of my comment in this thread, in fact), but seeing so much french-bashing à la reddit, was too much for me I guess.

The worse is that I read this story in a french newspaper an hour before, which was less partial than the convict's blog. Gave up posting it here because paywall + language where too much hurdle for HN, and couldn't find a better article.

Seing this article afterward and the quality of the response (up to the article's value I guess), well, my reaction was not up to my own standards.

.

Still, the french institution judgment was quite stupid, and we had a good laugh. The blogger's reaction to is incoming legal battle was beyond stupid. When you receive official document an incoming legal battle, you don't ignore it outright, you either deal with it or hire someone to do it, you check what you can do and what you risk. Ignoring it until you are fined is not the best way to be heard when complaining afterward.

I'll let the previous comment I made in the thread untouched. That way I'll think twice before being rude next time.

Spotify makes an amazing product. I went from spending hundreds a year on CDs and MP3s to just paying their subscription fee. It's like Netflix for music, except they actually have EVERYTHING you want and it's there the minute it comes out in stores.
Thanks! this is what I miss most from debugging on the JVM stack. I am rarely in control of / responsible for starting the processes I want to debug. The JVM's ability to simply attach and set a breakpoint to jump in in real time, even on a remote server, when something is going wrong is a complete lifesaver.
You could also clip the connections at the motherboard but I am guessing most of them would be too lazy to bring in a new port to solder up.
>Debuggers are cool and often necessary, but I disagree with this often-expressed sentiment that print-debugging is a primitive hack for people who don't know any better.

Yes.

>Stepping through a program's execution line-by-line and checking your assumptions can be a lot slower in some cases.

Yes again, particularly when the code is in a loop. Whereas, if you use print-debugging, even though the output will be repeated as many times as the loop runs, you at least have the possibility of grepping to filter it down to relevant (e.g. erroneous/unexpected) output.

Here's a simple Python debugging function that may be useful:

So don't make it look like a break room.
So technically what the presentation is trying to say is that you should use Angular to build Ember like framework. hahah

I personally like Angular, the Google support and the community are strong points to it. The documentation used to be hard to find, but now, specially with StackOverflow, finding what you need is easy.
I suppose it is your prerogative to classify employees as sycophants if you want.

From talking to other people at the company I know of only two Wolfram employees who are active on HN, being myself and carlob.

I don't think I cheer Wolfram, particularly. He's arrogant, sure, his posts are self-aggrandizing (or rather product-aggrandizing), sure -- although I don't think that these are remarkable properties for a CEO to have.

But we have some really nice technology that not many people seem to know very much about, so I comment a lot about it when the opportunity arises. Also, I think NKS has some cool stuff in it -- that's how I got associated with the company in the first place, through an amazing summer school experienc in Pisa, Italy.

Webdesigntuts+ has a thorough series covering Foundation 4 you might be interested in. If your a Lynda subscriber, they’ve got a couple of courses on Foundation 4, as well.

I hate that Google Docs modifies your history when you go to the next slide. This presentation clocks in at 57 slides and Firefox history defaults to truncating after 50 entries, meaning I can only go back to slide 7 and not back to HN.

Is it really better that I can use my browser forward and back buttons to navigate slides? Especially when there are forward/back buttons on the presentation anyway?
Ionic Framework alpha released today
I've been looking through this, trying to remember why I recently switched to Bootstrap. Was it a widget that was missing? Maybe a date-picker? Foundation doesn't really have date-pickers and such.

Hrm. Oh, right. It was angular-ui, which uses Bootstrap.

Angular integration for any of these projects is a BIG win. Because of that, I'm eagerly awaiting an RC for Angular-Semantic[1], so that I can cut over to Semantic-UI, which is, I think, best of breed as far as these frontend aesthetics go.

it's a shame ganesh asirvatham dropped out of the scrabble scene; he was a very impressive player, and the popular pick at the time for most likely to challenge nigel's dominance.

Ask HN: What's the best place to buy survey responses from a specific niche?
I'm looking to run a pricing survey to a specific niche (musicians) - SurveyMonkey audience isn't specific enough, and I've been struggling to find a service that can deliver me responses to a relatively long (about 20-question) survey. I'm willing to spend money, but Qualtrics is a little out of my price range. What else is out there, and what do you use?
Agree completely. I use gotos for error handling in C, as does the Linux kernel, and I agree that fundamentalist anti-goto sentiment is unjustifiably dogmatic.
That's irrelevant. You said that the games were "inherently worthless".

You're attempting to twist the language so words don't mean what most people think they mean and I'm not buying it.
The usual. Require Microsoft login. Move those users to the closest Microsoft products.
Well, they're not taking that away from you. You can still get started with the basics. But even node apps can get big.

It's the debugging story I'm really digging here. Being able to just set a breakpoint and hit f5 is real exciting as opposed to having to type "debugger" in your code and then sit around for ages. It's a shame I do all my node work on a Mac.

I'm guessing this won't be available for VS express?
Just asking - Bootstrap and Foundation essentially help you accomplish the same task, so why wouldn't you compare it to Bootstrap?
That was an attempt at not having to make people sign up and make it super low friction. So an option to sign up for a different account is preferable? Also curious as to your reason for not liking that?
