The article is very good, I read it all the way to the end and learned quite a few things.
But the title is just a bit misleading, it is more like "test coverage in go, with an example using http cache".
Thanks for writing and sharing.
So if the server side stuff was written in node, that is a js framework and still requires a learning curve for developers if they don't already know node. Also you shouldn't choose your server side language/framework based on the fact it's the same as the front-end code. And you still need to have a clear and well documented API for the server side app - just using js isn't going to solve that problem.

If you do solve that problem, in any language, then is implementing it in js really a necessity (apart from maybe a skill issue i.e. do you need people with a mix of skills or just js devs but again, I can't see why this is a problem)?

The Human Brain Project is a brute force attempt at solving AI (and biological) research problems, and as such it's certainly not alone. I recall supercomputers being put to use in simulating just one neuron at the molecular level. The difference being of course that we do have enough modeling data to make the single neuron simulation fly in principle, whereas the entire brain is ridiculously out of scope.

The main problem with the project though is not the missing scientific data - that just makes it unfeasible for now. What makes it unfeasible in any context is the detail level at which the simulation is supposed to be carried out. This quote from the article expresses it better than I could have done:

Eero Simoncelli, a neuroscientist at New York University. "Would you try to understand the universe by simulating every molecule? What would you have achieved? It’s going to be just as complicated as the real thing and you won’t understand it any better."

> We've both created and borrowed some cutting edge ideas.

What ideas are new? I'm not sure about provisions because the examples aren't really clear, but all the other features I've seen in other languages before.

> 3. Shadowing (concise, safe)

It doesn't seem like shadowing is the feature here, rather the use of '$' to prevent shadowing.

> Lists (called Arrays in many other languages)

There's a very good reason for this. Lists and arrays are very different data structures. Why create confusion by calling them lists?

> Since Wake blurs the line between variables and types, we can boast the smallest foreach loop of any language.

Really, the smallest foreach loop of any language? Come on.

> Self Executing

Why is this called 'self executing'? Also, I'd expect any language with lambdas to support calling a lambda right after it's created.
Why You Need a Cybersecurity Plan
This post is interesting but it falls short, ultimately if you can get a few different people to upvote your submissions you can exploit HN. You can see we're being marketed at, often, by startups that are routinely on the front page with content that is irrelevant to their own customers.
Can someone explain a bit about the problems? I am not a Neuroscientist but a Machine Learning researcher, and given the recent results in Deep Learning / Artificial Neural Networks which reach Human performance in certain specific tasks, it almost looks like if you would just put an ANN together which is somewhat big enough and somewhat similar wired together as the Human brain, you would yield something similar. And the point is, it doesn't really matter at all whether that is exactly like in the Human brain, and also, you don't really need to understand in detail how it will work, like you can even not really explain the current simple ANNs. It just works anyway. So, under this view, it's just a matter of scaling up, and to wait until we have enough computing power. And then, you would add more details to make it more close to the real Human brain.
Thank you for your suggestion. We're planning to add more related info about GitHub repos and replacing growth graph block. Never thought about the Graph section before. Might be a good place to place the growth graph. One concern is that our user might not know we have enhanced the graph section and never use this feature.
Sorry, but I think it should be clear from my comment that your title is indeed putting people off of reading your work at all. I don't doubt that it's worth reading, but I think you should consider that the title itself, accuracy aside, is dissuading more people than just me from reading your work.

The point isn't the quality of your work. It's your hook that's failing at least some of us to the point that you are potentially missing out on part of your target audience by default.
There is an interesting journal called JOVE, journal of visualized experiments, which does this. It has peer reviewed videos of experiments. But this has the same problem that many other journals do, it is behind a big pay wall.

I think this problem can also be mitigated by the additional parameters in the reset link like the expration time. If these parametes differ you actually dont get to hash one thing and test it against all currently valid reset URLs to make brute force easier. You could even salt your reset URL deliberately.

Of corse, I'm not arguing against rate limiting.
Actually, prosecutors are governed by many rules from constitutional and statutory law as well as canons of ethics that apply to their special position. They have an obligation to promptly disclose any and all evidence they encounter favorable to the defendant. They have an obligation to drop charges at any point that it is apparent that there is no probable cause that the defendant is guilty of a crime, and not to prosecute when it is clear that the state cannot meet its burden of proof (in a criminal matter, beyond a reasonable doubt) by admissible evidence.

That being said, prosecutors are humans, and often-times egotistical, political, cynical, and more than occasionally vindictive humans with all that entails. So, it is hardly uncommon to see rules already stacked in the state's favor bent or broken.

Trials are virtually extinct in the USA. With few exceptions, if you find yourself going to trial, you are not in a good place. While good lawyers should be trial lawyers and unafraid of trying any triable case, the vast majority of the time if you are getting off, you are getting off pretrial with a dismissal or deferred prosecution agreement. If you lose on pretrial motions and the state is intent on prosecuting, then most of the time if your attorney can get you a deal and recommends that you take it, then it's a choice between pride/"truth" and rolling dice loaded against you and paying for it big time.

While in principle as a defendant you are not supposed to be punished for taking your right to go to trial, the plea system punishes you heavily, and if you refuse to "take responsibility" by admitting guilty (the earlier the better) and expressing remorse, then you get punished even more post-conviction, with a heavier sentence, and then certainly being denied parole if that is available in the state system.

A major factor missing from the article is that scientists, when they translate their work into layperson's terms, often don't take care to distinguish between different levels of confidence in their conclusions. Scientific theories that are nailed down by massive experimental data and a track record of predictions accurate to many decimal places are talked about the same way, by scientists, as theories that are still being developed and refined and don't have anywhere near the same level of confidence. Even in a single field (e.g., physics), scientists often aren't careful to distinguish the solid base from speculative models at the frontiers (e.g., the Standard Model of particle physics vs. string theory, or the standard hot Big Bang model of cosmology from inflation and various speculations about what came before inflation). This means that, once a lay person sees that any scientific conclusion turned out to be wrong, which is going to happen because science is not perfect, they think it means Science is wrong, period--because the scientists themselves painted the picture that way.

The US has the least cost-effective healthcare system in the world except possibly for Switzerland — it manages to provide a reasonable level of care, similar to that of Cuba, but only by throwing enormous amounts of money at the problem. It's certainly true that it’s “worried about intellectual property protection”, but not in the way that you imply — intellectual property harms healthcare more than perhaps any other industry, accounting for a very substantial fraction of those massively overinflated costs. And it’s only through pushing through exceptions to the “intellectual property” regime pushed by the US, in WIPO, that India has been able to essentially end the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

Energy is the industry where US producers of photovoltaic panels — the primary source of marketed energy for the world starting in the 2020s — have had to seek domestic protection behind punitive tariffs against the Chinese manufacturers who are dominating the market by relentlessly copying each other’s innovations. Evergreen Solar, the only pure-play US photovoltaic company, went bankrupt in 2011.

The part of the US energy industry that’s actually an economic bright spot is oil and gas extraction. I don’t know much about their economic structure. Maybe you can elaborate?

Aerospace is indeed an exception to the overall pathetic performance of the US tech industry, and the 481,400 people working in 3364 aerospace in the US are rightly proud of that, although you’ve probably noticed that a lot of US companies that want to launch satellites end up having to buy launch services from Russia or Europe. But the US aerospace industry is largely supported by the US Department of Defense (74% of Lockheed’s income is from the military, and 45% of Boeing’s income is from BDS), and the DoD does not consider it an option to buy from lower-cost and higher-quality manufacturers in China or even Europe. That massive DoD R&D subsidy is what enables companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin to compete overseas (admittedly, against other similarly-subsidized competitors).

"I feel that if Salvatore Sanfilippo was started Redis by forking Memcached, community would have better in-memory caching solution today."

Article lost me here. is he saying that if the author of redis worked on memcache instead then mencache would be better? Ok.

Or is he saying redis would be better off if it had started as a fork of memcache? Bullshit. My understanding of redis is part of the reason for it was the author wanted to implement a data store from scratch, forking a mature project would have not motivated someone with that goal. Plus as a project matures it becomes harder and harder to make bigger changes. Even a small change requires tons of time. So redis would not have developed so quickly if not for starting from scratch.
This is THE question.

Why the comments above bother to debate any other aspect is beyond me. It lends legitimacy to absolute non-sense.

And this BS about the world being different...the reality is that most crime is exactly the same as it's always been. And when your car gets stolen and you go to the police station to file a report (because they won't come to the scene of the crime to investigate), they'll still tell you they can't take the report because it's some other stations responsibility...

The entire point of the "Future and Emerging Technologies" FET Flagship program (where the HBP got it's money) was to fund risky, daring and ambitious technology projects.

Here's an article about the Human Genome Project from 1990:
http://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/05/science/great-15-year-proj...

"The critics argue that the human genome project has been sold on hype and glitter, rather than its scientific merits, and that it will drain talent, money and life from smaller, worthier biomedical efforts."

"They also doubt that the project can be completed in anything close to its original deadline and budget."

"it will have generated enormous reams of uninterpretable and often useless data"

"it's hyped science"

"Everybody I talk to thinks this is an incredibly bad idea"

"Some critics have begun aggressive letter-writing campaigns"

The exact same arguments that were used 25 years ago to discredit the HGP are now resurfacing to criticize the HBP. And with genome sequencing now below 1000$, that article has become almost laughable.

A Proofless Introduction to Information Theory
When you're discussing the edge of theory in physics, you can make some pretty neat TV shows and maybe get some kids interested in science. I loved watching those crazy speculative documentaries about the universe and all that.

However, when you're discussing the edge of science in a health or socio-economic field, people "hear about studies" all the time in the news. Many are conflicting. Some things go on and live their own lives. Some things lend themselves to a certain ideological thinking and despite being proven wrong later on, go on to live in very awful ways. Eg: vaccines scares.
The whole thing is a splash page. :rimshot:
I didn't say they only design the shell for everything - the shell was the only change for the iPhone 5C so for that particular product that is all they did.

> People can vote stories up or down (posts get +1 for an upvote, -1 for a downvote)

People can't downvote submissions. They can flag submissions and they can flag as well as downvote comments.

> It’s not entirely clear how karma is assigned but it’s safe to assume this is a measure of status.

Each point of karma is a single upvote on a submission or a comment. My high karma is purely a result of very frequent commenting, and has nothing to do with status. (Other people's high karma combined with high average karma is probably an indicator that people respect them. Some people have a weirdly low average - I don't understand how ColinWright only has an average of 1.7 or rayiner only has an average of 2.7 for examples).

A downvoted comment will reduce your karma by one point for each downvote. Flagged comments don't reduce your karma but may have other effects. A while ago I had a comment that got 50 downvotes - all of those were taken off my karma total. There was a problem where a controversial post might be flagkilled - limiting the total loss to whatever downvotes that post gets before it's flagkilled; or a controversial post just gets heavily downvoted but not flagkilled which means unlimited downvotes for the time that downvotes are available on that post. (Not sure if this has been changed yet, or if it's by design.)

> Karma isn’t meaningless. While plenty of users with low karma submitted posts that ascended to the front page, it looks like posts submitted by influencial users get to the front page more quickly (though the correlation is pretty weak).

Very few of my submitted articles make the front page. I'm tempted to say something about correlation and causation here - people who submit articles that make the front page get lots of karma, rather than users with lots of karma get front pages more easily.

About points per minute: There are some anti-gaming algorithms that will penalise a submission if it gets too many votes too quickly. I have no idea what the correct rate is.

There is also, I think, some algorithm that will detect many comments by new accounts. Announcing a post on social media is a mistake that some people make. New accounts then visit and upvote the submission, which demotes rather than promotes it.
Certainly favours the "O" in OCaml. OO with virtual classes seems to be used instead of functors in various places. Also, you probably want to use an stdlib replacement, this would help you shorten some gnarly functions like get_headers.

I downvoted you because negative nonconstructive comments may as well not be posted. They provide no tangible benefit to anyone who participates in the discussion.

If you have a compelling reason as to why this project would be better done in another language then it would be prudent to include this reason in your original post. If all you're going off is personal preference then it may be best to keep this to yourself.

I thought the problem was asbestos, crappy study reporting, and hypocrites or appearance of hypocrisy.

Asbestos was good and now is very, very bad (well, in uncontrolled places). I cannot help but think this lead a fair number of people to question what is really safe. It seemed quite a lot of truths suddenly became dangerous at about the same time. That is just learning, but it felt like a turing point. Heck, a lot of people learned that mistakes cost a fair amount of cash to fix. If you want a science version look at the original polio vaccine. It did give quite a few people polio, but it has had an amazing record since. Flu shots are extremely effective when they guess correctly and a pain (37% this year) when they don't, but they still save lives for a very low risk.

Look at eggs. Are they good for you or bad for you? Red wine? People have been conditioned to think studies are about as reliable as midnight infomercials, and neither of these questions fit in the sound bite length answer that is generally given to science on news programs.

Hypocrisy is painful. The average person knows when someone has a "better than them" attitude, and if you are condescending they will ignore you. As an example, if you're flying around on a G5 and telling the general public they will have to downgrade their lifestyle, then the general public won't listen to you.

Its an interesting cycle and really nothing new. I wish the media would quit blaming the "common people" and start looking at how it presents things. People loose trust in authority when authority starts acting like charlatans. They spend every news cast scaring the hell out of people when the statistics say they shouldn't. That bleeds into government and now we arrest people of letting 12 year olds walk home from school. Why would people believe anything?

tldr: if you are constantly told everything is broken and dangerous, expect people to not care anymore or be afraid of everything.
