Many companies have a standard "non-compete" and "all-your-work-is-our" in the contracts, so it may be illegal (or at least problematic) to work for another company while you still have the old job.

I'm having no problems with us-east, accessed from Southern California and Texas.
I have just started watching the video but IIRC Facebook's Immutable.js library implements immutable lists and sets with some sort of tree data structure that allows non-mutated elements to be shared between copies. Maybe this does something similar?
To me this is a sign of organizational dysfunction that the money can't be moved from one pool to another.
Heroku has a history of making technical changes that are actually worse performance-wise and reliability-wise. One of the more notable ones was the switch from an "intelligent" request routing mechanism (Heroku's routing mesh would route requests to dynos based on their load) to a random load-balancing scheme (blind, with no regard for existing dyno load), causing requests to frequently be routed to overworked dynos while leaving open ones idling and twiddling their virtual thumbs. This change was eventually called out and documented by the folks at Rap Genius [0]; Heroku eventually responded, though I don't know off the top of my head whether they went back to their previous (and arguably much-superior) routing system.

This, combined with the rather abysmal tooling (and, of course, the rather abysmal pricing) around Heroku, left a bad enough taste in my mouth to avoid Heroku for most (if not all) of my personal projects, the sole exception at the moment being heroku-sucks.herokuapp.com. My current dayjob employer (a Rails consultancy) has switched away from Heroku entirely, moving instead to Cloud66 (we haven't gone the container route yet, but we're actively working on it).

It's a little jarring to me to see a result from Physics labelled a 'theorem'. It's clearly a provable mathematical consequence of a particular mathematical model, but to turn that theorem into a physical law you have to demonstrate that the mathematical model is a complete description of how reality works.
Just going to point out that that link contains hate speech directed at women, people of color and the LGBTQ community. I know YCombinator's been talking up diversity as of late, so maybe a good idea to not be linking to hate?

Wait till memresistors get here. That will basically eliminate the distinction between ram and disk.

"They can potentially be fashioned into non-volatile solid-state memory, which would allow greater data density than hard drives with access times similar to DRAM, replacing both components.[14] HP prototyped a crossbar latch memory that can fit 100 gigabits in a square centimeter,[8] and proposed a scalable 3D design (consisting of up to 1000 layers or 1 petabit per cm3).[66] "
As some who also has terrible vision -- dedicated text sizing is awesome, but being able to just pinch-zoom makes ALL the difference for me. So many aspects of a web page are hard to use other than just text as well. (Those "X" close icons can get pretty damn hard to decipher at times.)

No solution is perfect, but allowing zooming is simple and a huge win for me. (Even if the site still has a sticky header that wont get out of the way...)
Well, faster than light communication would cut down on the latency, but wouldn't necessarily help with the bandwidth. The lightspeed delay to Pluto is "only" about twelve hours. The low transmission speed is mostly because the transmitter isn't very strong, and it's unbelievably far away, thus the signal is ridiculously weak.

Yeah... sure...
Ask HN: Can you get to AWS?
We're having lots of trouble getting to many AWS/Amazon resources in US-West2 and it seems like many other people are reporting problems with US-East. Currently we cannot even reach http://status.aws.amazon.com. What are other people seeing and does anyone have any pointers to what the problem could be? There seems to also be a bit of discussion on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hashtag/aws?src=hash&vertical=default&f=tweets#
Rands has a great blog post on this. Learning how to manage superstars well is a very valuable skill!

it's definitely down for me. weird that aws status shows all green
If you're looking for a model, consider the CDC. Or your local health department.

The world isn't neatly divided into things that people care about (and do) and don't care about and therefore will never do). It's a continuum.

For example, many people in companies care about security but never have time to do enough. If you make it so that they can do more per unit of time, they'll do more.

My us-east boxes are up and accessible from Phoenix. I'm seeing reports of other places inaccessible as well, which suggests it's not AWS.

You should be comparing this to gulp, which, like fly, prefers code over configuration.

Gulp uses streams, this uses generators. Some folks may like the look and feel of generators more than streams.

The reader option is awesome when it exists, but there's currently no way to set a site to always enable it. Safari itself makes the determination on a page by page basis. Or at least that used to be the case.
Netscape screwed up and were standing on the edge of a cliff. Microsoft just gave them the last nudge off.
I don't think it will be a hit, yet anyway. The tech is still too new, and requires a lot of improvements. It also doesn't work for every game (FPS' are terrible, but driving games are great), and I don't really see that changing.

In a few years, once it's better overall, I don't see why it couldn't become commonplace. Currently it's just not good enough.
One thing which works against the "cite everything" approach is that most of the major conferences have page limits of 8-10 pages with 1 page bonus for references. That means if you go over 1 page of references for (at least NIPS) then you cut into the meat of the paper, reviewers look on in disdain and give poor marks, etc. So you have to actively prune for the most recent and directly relevant citations many times, which sometimes counts out semi-relevant but older work in favor of more relevant recent work.

Much of Dr. Schmidhuber's work is very interesting and especially relevant now that RNNs are really heating up again - but it is sometimes hard to figure out exactly which of his papers to cite because many are partially relevant. And having a full page of only Schmidhuber citations is no good either...

Speaking as a member of the Montreal lab, I am much more up to date with the work that happens here - so it is hard to fight the natural tendency to cite recent papers you know (since they all came from work you know of, cause you were there). Notice too that all 3 (Hinton, LeCun, and Bengio) worked directly together at some point, and collaborated often beyond that. So a version of this is in effect, whereas Juergen has been more separated (both geographically, and work focus wise) than the other 3. NYU Toronto and Montreal are all in an 8 hour triangle!

Not to take anything away from his points (I try to cite as many of his papers as possible without seeming ridiculous, generally) but these are the general factors at play. We cannot possibly cite every paper in the field, and shining the light on new works can be more important than citing older work AS LONG AS there is no claiming as a pure innovation work that was already done "in the nineties".

Claiming to improve some technique or take it from curious to usable is more than fine - but given the recent deep learning hype even recent papers are getting overshadowed by others claiming some new innovation which already exists in very current literature.

Especially given the work that is coming out of industrial labs (Google, FB, MSR, etc.) it is fairly frequent to see the same model being touted as new (with minor citations if lucky) when the exact same technique first appeared 6 months ago. Being well-read is not an option as an academic - it is a requirement! The PR machine of these companies is unfortunately very effective at dominating the airwaves if you have competing or related work, especially if you are not from a school with good press e.g. MIT, Stanford.

Looks to be something strange with the network. Using a SOCKS proxy to a host running on he.net, I can get to US-East machines, but not from my Cogent-based connection in the office.

(I'll repot an old comment that I made in a previous submission of similar article.)

Quite the opposite, if reality were a simulation this is equivalent to more process power instead of less process power.

When you use Classic Mechanics, you only need to "simulate" one trajectory.

With Quantum Mechanics the system may have a few choices, and you must keep the details of all the possibilities. The easy case is a qbit that only has two choices. But if you have a few qbits nearby, they may interact and now you must "simulate" the 2^n possibilities. This is why if we can ever build a quantum computer, it would be exponentially more powerful than a classic computer.
Seeing it bounce up/down from the UK... brief moments of "IT WORKS" followed by sadness. Long night ahead I think :(
Possibly a peering problem? I can reach AWS and us-east systems from a different host running off of he.net.
Yeah, that's what we're seeing. We can finally get to US-West2 again from our office. Employees who were working from home didn't experience an outage at all.
Yeah, cool logo, but this is almost exactly like Gulp.

The first thing I want to see on the project page is something like "Why you should use this new tool over existing proven build systems with already flourishing ecosystems".

There's also the referrer header that gets sent out, which includes the URL of the page that is embedding the image. Not really "all data on your visitors" but depending on how you use it, may leak sensitive information if you're unwise enough to put it in the page urls (depressingly common), or allow them to track every visit throughout your site (on pages that embed the image)
I'm unclear on the origin of these packages: are they all original works, or a vetting and repackaging of other packages? If the later, how are improvements being sent up stream?

Bangladeshi cooking uses a lot of traditional old world ingredients. Garlic, cloves, cumin, turmeric, and ginger were all available in the old world. Potatoes are common today, but traditional vegetables like tarot and radishes are too. Many dishes are made without chilli peppers, although that's certainly common now. They up the heat, but I don't think they define the flavor profile in many Bangladeshi dishes.
Another option is to make indentation meaningful to fix C's problem here.
This is the solution...

Even 'zoom' on fixed elements as dastardly as it looks is easier to read than text that is too small.
I was going to post that link. This is the standard theory, isn't it? Most physicists subscribe to this, regardless of their interpretation of quantum mechanics (Copenhagen, De Broglie–Bohm, and so on?)

since i switched to using webpack for bundling, i've pretty much stopped using gulp/grunt completely.

I just found there's very little I needed them for that couldn't be resolved using a makefile or package.json scripts.

I legitimately love gulp though, because it finally let me grok streams.
Do we know if this is related to the Beats 1 issues people are currently reporting?

We store our event stream data in Elasticsearch. Two features that made it appealing:

* the ingest-side can be scaled up by adding more shards
* the query-side can be scaled up by adding more replicas

To compute rollup analytics, we make heavy use of Elasticsearch's aggregation framework to compute daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly active users.

From my understanding Postgres has many of these features, but the distributed features of ES are killer!
Having used gulp and grunt, I just use shell scripts now. Why bother?

I can't get the status page to load: http://status.aws.amazon.com/

Edit: Rollback the scratch. It's oscillating between up and down right now.

It pains me to UPDATE and DELETE, thereby destroying useful data.
What would you like to see changed?

I think so. Apple Music streams are working though so they don't seem to be using AWS for everything.
Every time I read something about the history of cooking, it only seems to reinforce how recent most of the mainstays of "traditional" cooking are. So, what was lost? I'd be sincerely interested in seeing a database of recipes from the "lost" European medieval cuisine this article speaks of. Western cuisine is often at it's best when it's blending influences from other cultures. Perhaps looking into the past would produce some real surprises!
I'm super curious to hear technical info how this kind of widescale network partition comes to happen. It doesn't seem based on geography since for about 30 minutes I was unable to reach us-east from MonkeyBrains in SF, but had no trouble from my Dallas, TX VPS.
Completely agree though as history has taught us, socialism doesn't scale very well. Better results merit better rewards. The term "Rewards" is broader than monetary benefits. Holds true not just for individual performance but also collective performance at a higher abstraction of entity - team, org, company, city, state, country, etc.
One thing I don't understand about the updates to the law governing the FISA court:
How would there be any challenge to its rulings? Without a challenge, how would it be appealed to SCOTUS? Without a public appeal, how would the legal community be able to debate the merits of different cases as they do with other constitutional law issues?

It is like if the FBI was doing the bulk collection but never using the data to prosecute anyone: there isn't any place for the exclusionary rule* to restrain the prosecution.

Once I figured out the solution, I was kicking myself for not figuring it our earlier =)

I think I went wrong in 2 ways. My first attempt was to solve using calculus, and though I came up with a solution for the 2 circle case - I totally failed at finding the integral for 3+ circles.

My bigger mistake was to google for papers after I failed initially. I looked for other peoples venn diagram solutions, and found that they were using approximation techniques to calculate. Since the people writing these papers have a much better math pedigree than I do, it made me think I should use an approximation too.

While I did waste a bit of extra time on this, most of the time was spent in writing javascript code. Since the whole point of the venn diagram library in the first place was to learn javascript, I can’t really say it was a total waste. Also I used the quad tree estimate to verify the exact solution.
I wonder sometimes what it would be like if we didn't keep re-inventing things. Other than portability, why are any of these better than a Makefile? Most of these tools have a corresponding bin command you can run in a Make task.
Nope. A ton of websites don't work.(even amazon.com)

The latter (although some are original works); if you browse https://stablelib.com/v1/, you can see links to upstreams for each package in "Information" section. Improvements are sent via whatever method the original accepts, mostly GitHub pull requests.
Not a fan of uncurated, kitchen sink lists like that. Almost worse than no list at all. I know, I know, I don't have to look at it.
I second the C9 series. Dr. Erik Meijer does a great job of explaining a lot of concepts you need to understand.
I know the Kx people pretty well, and they are trying to get the word out (have been for years), but it never ceases to amaze how little respect they get in the free software world. They are the leading timeseries database, and yet they don't even get a footnote in the article :(
The point I'm trying to make is: Gulp and Grunt exist, and have strong ecosystems. It's cool that this uses a swanky new ES6 feature. But is that really a big enough step up, that people should stop using what they're using and use this instead?

If it came with a set of modules for other packages so people could at the very least try the demo version before they buy into it, and it really is that much cleaner and more powerful, then I think people could really get behind it.

The trick to making a successful JS package nowadays is marketing, honestly.

Congrats on finishing medical school, and most of your residency.

That said, I briefly read your post, and while I admire your optimism, and trust in the system; Psychiatry is currently trying to pull itself out of a deep hole of bad science, bad studies, faulty theories, etc.

I'm too tired to list my gripes with the Art of Psychiatry, please don't just set up shop somewhere and make a comfortable income.

Yes, set up shop. Yes, make a comfortable living. But, please there's a reason some doctors are prescribing offlabel, and taking more risks than what your being taught.
The tried and true methods are not working, or working so closely to placebo it's beyond ironic.

Seasoned Psychiatrists(with a conscious) are frustrated with the currently horrid cure rates, with the "tried and trued" traditional medications. They are tired of finding all those theories are not holding up. They are just tired.

Right now you are seeing the really ill. When you get out and set up shop. Most of you time will be seeing a patient every 15-30 minutes. Your patients will be a lot like you(come from a good homes, but they had a breakdown usually in their twenties, or thirties. So many will be high achievers, but stopped dead by a breakdown.). You will find so many medications just don't seem to work. SSRI's just might be the biggest scam perpetuated on the medical profession in part by Eli Lilly? Right now, you must have realized Placebo will be the best tool in your arsenal?

What I am trying to say is when you get out, and set up shop, most of your patients will come to you at the worst time of their lives. They will put a lot of confidence in your judgement. Many will be paying out of pocket.

I'm not going to give a soon to be doctor much advice, but question the studies. Don't just chalk up the non-responsive to statistics. I'm not saying you should take heroic risks in trying to get the patient functioning again, but be honest. I don't see anything wrong with--Patient, "The medication, and therapy didn't work as I expected, but you will get better with time!". Be honest about the results of your profession, especially when any chance of placebo cure is long gone. In other words, don't make the patients life worse because you picked a particularly ineffective speciality. Oh, yes you will probally find yourself surrounded with other Psychiatrists, and they will encourage you to keep your head up high, and keep that income up; Don't abuse that magical transference on the poorer patients. (I think you get my drift?)

I'll get hammered for this post, but as a former patient these are just my honest thoughts. Take care of your own health, and realize in the end--we are all in this mess toghther?
I seem to do fine with httplib/2 and generally prefer core libraries. Am I really missing out on much?
I don't understand how the FISA court, created by Congress outside the bounds of the appointment clause, for the specific task of approving or rejecting surveillance warrants, can so casually set aside the rulings of an actual court.

I mean, this is really simple stuff - like Marbury vs. Madison simple.

Isn't this precisely what the Church committee (out of which FISA grew) intended to prevent?
