I think the “us vs them” mentality is too strong here. Don’t you think these billionaires are just as against each other (if not more so) than against the common man?

The opposite is true - transportation has increased diversity. The American Indians suffered due to a lack of exposure to diseases (smallpox) common in Europe due to their relative isolation

I imagine that (at least for the foreseeable future) genetic engineering will only be targeted to modifying SNPs (and other mutations) that unambiguously cause diseases.

When they remove the keyboard entirely and replace it with a giant trackpad with a keyboard section. They will do this when they can make the trackpad sensitive enough to do so.

I think it’s the former. Not wearing corrective lenses (glasses or contacts) when needed causes additional eye strain.

That’s an extreme comparison - there’s no such thing as a healthy level of cigarette consumption while there is for social media (at least a non-harmful level).

Plot.ly now has Dash, which is RShiny for Python (which uses Flask) and appears equally capable to RShiny.

More work to maintain and there’s a risk of getting stuck in the mud after a rain.

What an irritating article. If you do anything pleasurable you don't normally do in the morning (like eating ice cream for breakfast) you're likely going to be in a better mood. What happens when someone eats ice cream every day?

It doesn't take much time to be equally comfortable with vim/emacs as you are with your normal editor. Anything you learn after that is a bonus. It's hard to say how much faster I am using vim than a normal editor, but I&#x27

What about fish? I use it on the terminal but still write my shell scripts in bash so they work across systems (including windows with minGW). I think a big issue with new shell adoption is the prevalence of bash basically everywhere.

I don't think this is a good idea. There are many high school graduates that are woefully unprepared for college. It will be a huge waste of time and resources. No point of throwing students in the deep end and let them sink or swim.

I smiled as I read it and took it to be a joke, but it might do the writer some good to be a little less subtle here. Admittedly I'm not very tall myself.

Is there a reason you decided to single out the NYT at the end of your post? Is it due to its frequency of its reference here on HN? I like your idea of archiving and summarizing articles you find interesting and meaningful. I've thoug

The time it would take to port code from 2 to 3 would likely be less than the time it would take to port to another language. And using the scipy stack makes numerical computing incredibly fast (fast enough for me considering it takes me lo

My parents hardly ever use a desktop computer since getting tablets and smart phones, but they still need and use one for business activities (self employment Excel entries, scanning and emailing documents, taxes). So while I wholeheartedly

For what it's worth I find discussions centered on the same topic here to be much more civil, informative, and engaging than on most platforms (including /r/politics).

I believe money is definitely a big part of it. If you have the skills needed to help manage and analyze "big" data (big as in too big to realistically handle in Excel, which is the limit of most biologists), you can easily earn

Sometimes I work at home and hook my laptop up to my keyboard, mouse, monitor, and outlet at the same time. Admittedly I don't do this very often but it's nice to be able to do this as I need to.

A lot of the basics work in both, or with some minor tweaks.

Are there many ML frameworks that only work in 2.7? Scipy and numpy work in both 2.7 and 3.x, so I'd imagine (without being heavy in the field) that any new development using these scientific computing packages could be Python version

You can turn off notifications in iOS on a per app basis. I do this for emails.

I personally only see the utility of the notebook as a demonstration tool of a finished product. Kinda goes to your comment on the notebooks and code maintenance. It's a good teaching or presentation tool but not (IMO) a development to

There's a strong difference between gerrymandering and outright election rigging / vote fraud, the latter of which is what Donald seems to be suggesting.

It feels like he's trying to stay relevant and retain as much public support he can get.

I like using github and stow. I use stow to easily symlink from my cloned copy ofy config files to the proper directory. It's simple and easy to set up.

Just curious, why do you dislike Mac OS so much? I use an MacBook Pro laptop and have Debian based OS for work and I find the transition between the two computers almost negligible. Using the brew package manager on OS X lets me install any

Flux is blocked now? I installed it last year no problem. Edit I remember now that I didn't install it through the App Store.
