There was/is an iOS bug where changing orientation after zooming would cut-off some of the page, most websites simply disable all zooming to "fix" it. http://blog.pgrady.com/post/29511322784/fixing-the-ios-orien...
map(print, list_of_tuples) does not work on Python 3 unless you wrap it in list(). In any case it's a anti-idiom because it creates a useless list. Please don't do that.
Ask HN: Appropriate title to brand myself as a consultant?
I've been a designer and developer for my career, but I've recently started consulting and it's certainly where I'd like to move my career. I love designing, and I love writing code, but I'd much rather just consult for a living and do that stuff in my spare time. I have a pretty wide range of expertise within the web software business, from marketing to application architecture to design to SEO to CRO, etc, and these are what I've been consulting on lately.

What should I brand myself as in order to convey that I'm a consultant, not a contractor? I don't know if I should still call myself a designer or a developer, or if "software consultant" should cover it.

What do you call yourselves?
I have a Ramnode VPS. Also xbox live, I didn't think about that until someone mentioned it here. I share a netflix account with my roommate. I buy books from amazon and google for my android tablet. I don't own a smartphone, the plans are too expensive.
Why I'm Long on Storage
I've loved complex numbers since first learning about them, and my first significant programming experience was writing these types of programs for my TI-89 graphing calculator in high school in the late 90s. This is a good introduction.

Another good equation to play around with is x_next = a x (1 - x), for a from 0 to 4. You'll find that x settles to a single value for low a, eventually bifurcating as you increase a, then bifurcating again. At one point, though, it splits into a cycle of three values, then an erratic distribution. Someone once wrote a paper on how "period three implies chaos".
Well, the "have to drive on the road" is a "law" or an imperative not an ideology. People know it's a made up convention so that we don't hit each other or depestrians.

People talking about free market, on the other hand, think of it as a real, concrete thing, and even further, that it has this and that properties. Thinking thusly about a made-up thing can have dire consequences -- like when hallucinating on drugs and jumping from a building to avoid a huge snake.

In addition to issues raised by other commenters, one of the problems with deep learning (deep nets in general) is that they can be very hard to train. If you're interested in some techniques people have been using, I highly suggested you read up on optimization methods such as conjugate gradient and hessian-free optimization. I did this recently [0] and have a brief write-up, but honestly the original Martens paper may be more understandable [1].

1) There are plenty of standards in the pallet industry, especially in the EU. (http://www.palettes-cp.com/welcome-en.html) The US has the 48x40 GMA which for many years was used almost exclusive in the grocery chain. These standards were born of similar or exactly the same needs from different customers. Things like 2x2 barrels, poly supersacks, square and octagonal boxes, etc. All those things are standardized and so the pallet that goes underneath them is largely the same.

2) Customization is a factor of efficiency. Why would someone shipping a product want to buy a standard size pallet that doesn't fit or hold the weight requirement for his use case? Instead, he consults with either internal packaging specialists (in big companies) or a manufacturer directly to design a pallet to fit his load. By doing this he actually knows the limitations of the packaging (stacked x high, racked, weight distribution, unstacker and rollerbed compatibility, etc) and also has some general idea that the product he is receiving is correctly priced for his requirements. Many times those requirements are customer driven, meaning my customer's customer.

Source: I make pallets, lots of them.
Instapaper and Amazon Prime are primarily what comes to mind; though also will end up paying for Dropbox soon. Personally, Spotify, as well as Netflix.
So how about starting from introducing a reasonable JIT into Python? Does anyone know why BFDL opposes to the idea of having a JIT, like Psyco?
It is definitely insensitive, and it is clearly not constructive.

Take my comment with a grain of salt, as I have not read the book, but there is no story if there is no danger.

If the author concluded that there was no nuclear danger, its likely the book has little more than academic interest, and doesn't get published. You can both be correct and want to sell books but commercial considerations can also direct rhetoric.

At one point I worked on an over-the-horizon radar, where the control room was at the receiver site, about 100km from the transmitter site. It had changed by the time I was there, but the old techs used to tell of having to enter the bootloader, for the computer at the transmitter site, via radio link. If the link went down, you had to start again...

The thing is a scribble doc is not markup. It is code. (This is one of the beautiful things about lisp.) So if you want the "syntax", all you need to know is this -

@animal[bowow "meow"]{Various sounds animals make}

translates to

(animal bowow "meow" "Various sounds animals make")

The rest are just libraries of code that render these resultant data structures in various ways. When writing documents, this programmability is very powerful.

If you don't need too much programmability, but would occasionally like to have it, "org mode" on emacs is fantastic. (I wrote my Ph.D. thesis in org mode and I also use it to track tasks.)
I find the conclusion, that there should be a Python 2.8 which maintains backwards compatibility and which adopts some of the newer 3.x language features, to be misguided and uninformed.

What the author of this article is suggesting is precisely what Python 2.7 is. Python 2.6 was the last 2.x release that brought new features to the language. 2.7 is only about back porting 3.x language features as a "temporary" stop gap measure until 3.x reaches maturity, both as a language and through 3rd party library support.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that is going to "kill Python," not the language itself.

That said, anyone craving Taco Bell while in the Portland/Vancouver area would still be well-advised to check out a local Taco Time instead -- it's still better quality food. Or at least it was 10-15 years ago.
Or just specify versions in your requirements.txt file to begin with.

If you want to keep up to date with security and bug fixes (but aren't yet ready for the next big feature/backwards incompatible release), you can specify the lines as 'package>=1.1,<1.2' to get 1.1.x fix releases.

`pip list --outdated` is helpful, too.
Privacy is hard to quantify from a good/bad perspective because it relates to personal preference. One person might demand it, while another person might not care at all. Because of this, I don't see the issue as cut-and-dry as being good or bad. As a Community that builds Products, I think it is much more constructive to understand that the issue is broad in nature, and your customers likely have opposing views (or may not care at all). I think the real question should be; When building a Product, what are the ethical implications of User Privacy? If one believes that they should be in-tune with their customers (which is what I believe) then the best approach is probably to respect both sides of the issue. So in other words, instead of deciding what is "right", build the Product to support both extremes. When you give the User a choice, it is much more well received than making the choice for them. Most issues I've read about, heard about, or experienced myself resulted from a lack of understanding or respect for the User's choice.

My daughter graduated from CMU SCS last weekend. Good enough for you?
"The problem with a join is that you never know what intermediate set will be produced, meaning you never quite know the memory use or latency of a query with a join. Multiplying that out with several joins means you have enormous potential for queries to run slowly while consuming lots of (scarce) resources."

Anyone with even a meagre understanding of databases will put indexes on join columns. If the data model is complete, then the joined columns will be modelled as foreign keys (conceptually the same as a relationship in a graph DB) which force indexes. I think they are talking more about problems with ORMs, where the ORM might construct unexpected queries that don't hit indexes. This is an ORM problem, not a relational DB problem.

One of the major promises of relational DBs was that you could write code describing what you wanted, and the DBMS would figure out how to efficiently find it for you. This promise was derailed by the push to merge relational models with object-oriented models (i.e. ORMs), but it's not dead. What we need is a more powerful SQL, one that doesn't require boilerplate and can do things like recursion (making every database a graph database). We need a SQL that makes the application code seem like boilerplate. We need the equivalent of type inference for joins; let me say A join D and the DBMS infers I mean A->B->C->D and figures out the cardinality of the result. We need result sets that are graphs instead of one-list-fits-all. These are all things that can be modelled in an RDBMS without losing its expressiveness.

The visualisation I would most like to see with respect to openings is a 'heat map' like diagram, showing how likely a given piece is to occupy each square after n moves.

Are there any squares never used after the first move?

Just what weight is given to the centre of the board after the first few moves?

This sort of information could be communicated really well with a view of the board, and the pieces expected to be in each square.
Yes. However the company that hired you gets an implied license to the code. Which is usually sufficient for them.

I don't know if this implied license is exclusive or not though.

Not to mention the whole sustainability and foreign oil dependency issues of plastic. Whereas plantation timber can be grown locally in the US, keeping the jobs and money on home turf and lowering the risk of ecological issues from oil drilling.

I guess fire and contamination risk is much more immediate to the company bottom line, unless the material origin could be turned into a branding/marketing factor - "We only use goddamn all-American pallets!"

They will probably get punished. They would be punished here too, and we'd have the exact same discussion about privacy and everything. Also, police and law systems are punishing piracy in several different ways.

Yet, do you disagree that piracy is getting more socially acceptable, not less?

It's a complex scenario, not a simple descend at absolutism.

That said, I'm writing from a Canadian perspective. And it's likely that our laws are different in this regard. I'll be looking it up within the next day or so.

EDIT: And I got curious enough to look it up quickly: http://www.gowlings.com/KnowledgeCentre/article.asp?pubID=22...

states that unlike the US, Canada doesn't have a work-for-hire provision, so copyright remains with the employee or contractor. Which is similar in effect to what's written in the OP. I'd want to corroborate that more before staking my business on it, but at the very least my point about checking the laws in your jurisdiction is important.

Yes and no, you can buy some solutions but the daily extra effort associated with using them doesn't outweigh the occasional effort/annoyance of the mistake at this point.

It's one of those things that would take a large amount of work for a company to get it to the point where the ease of use is the same as the current system, I'm sure we'll eventually see a usable system (as it seems that computer vision and object classification techniques being developed in other areas will be applicable here).

I'm not always intimately familiar with every app - so if you can include a brief description of what the app does - it'd be super helpful.

I suppose my comment was inane, but I hope that any freelancer not working in the States, should they come across this, will stop and do their homework. I'd hate for them to get screwed over. Freelancing is tough enough without factoring in bad contracts.
Yeah, for whatever reason I was constantly having the following problem in 1Password:

->Whenever I auto-generated a password in the browser extension, and submitted it, 1Password would occasionally (like 1 in 20 times, but often enough to be infuriating) lose the new password into the ether. Like it wouldn't be saved in the "recently-generated passwords" field in 1Password, or update the password field under the "Logins" entry.

So when I got a new laptop, like a month ago, I didn't even install 1Password, but the first time I'd go to any site, I'd manually look up and copy the password out of my backed-up 1Password web page, and then let Safari save the login in the keychain. Over time, I migrated all of my passwords into the Keychain, and now I also have access to them from within Safari on my iPhone and iPad (which having to previously open the 1Password app, unlock it, copy the password from the login, and then switch back to Safari and paste it in), was a pretty big win.

So I'm really happy with iCloud Keychain so far. It restricts my ability to log in to only Apple devices (which for now at least, isn't an issue for me), but I've found it a much better experience than using 1Password.
Hi, just thought I'd jump on here and answer a few questions. Thanks all for the interest!

You're right in saying the components are pretty ubiquitous, the key part is the algorithms which interpret the data. They would need developing for each sport or particular movement, plus a UI to replay back the insights in a user friendly way. We spent months on this with Smash, it was the real focus of the early work, and will continue to be so. Some kind of platform that allows this to be done easily feels like a great next step...got me thinking :)

It actually looks like they made it this way to hide batteries in the middle cavity.
Those papers are more of the same - no theory is clearly stated, just a few accounting identities that describe wealth/income ratios.

As for the blog post, I could be wrong. Does Piketty not claim that r > g is the cause of inequality? If so, why does Piketty have a subsection called "The Fundamental Force for Divergence: r > g" in his book?

In any case, confusion like this is why it's so important to clearly write down your main theory at the very beginning. If Piketty did this, you could simply point at a set of equations and show how my counterexamples don't disprove them.

I don't know why you are getting hostile or accusing me of being "rabid". Kind of goes against the spirit of careful intellectual discussion. Makes me think you have an emotional attachment to Piketty being right.
Those kind of thermostats are not for 30 years. To make it a viable market for large companies (as opposed to niche providers) you'd have to change it every 3-5 years. Heck, Nest shut its business in less than 5 years.

So, it'd be you know, like a DSLR is not for life, whereas a film camera was.

In exchange, you'd get innovation faster, and they'd have to keep you occupied with cool new stuff. Don't know how much you can add to a thermostat, but this kind of "market share" could lead to "the house of tomorrow" kind of future in 10-20 years (like mobile phones have completely changed personal communications in the past 20 years).
Keep it up!! Honestly you deserve more stars..
Last time an article about Boosted Boards frontpaged HN, commenters raised very valid concerns about the legality of it. While it's still a niche thing it'll fly under the radar, but if this thing becomes super popular, it's pretty certain a law will pass to end the fun.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4506979

Other than that, as a longboarder who sadly can't longboard to work in downtown SF because of slight hills on my commute, I'd love to get one of those. If there are Boosted Boards employees/founders reading this: do you offer the possibility to come to your office and try one out? At a third or half the price it'd be a no brainer, but at $2000 I' m certainly not buying one without having tried it first.
At this point, I think python 3 just has a severe branding issue. I bet if you took python 3.4, removed the stuff that will egregiously break things (IE, lack of a print statement and new exception syntax), and just called it python 2.8 everyone would be pretty happy with it.

All the same, I'm continuously amazed at the arrogance of the people that maintain the language and set its direction. It's no wonder it's been a colossal failure. You know why I'm not running python 3? Because it doesn't solve a single problem I have. It doesn't solve anyone's problems. It solves imaginary problems, while creating real problems.
