Ok guys, I'll write the readme, you just go and write the language.

On my Pixel 2 the download does not work for their report. I submit that bug so they can analyze it as their 100M+1.

Come up with an alternative solution. Promote it. Watch it trend and devolve from a real solution to a cargo cult. Repeat.

I'm not going to lie if something is badly presented or mediocre. I don't think that helps the team that made it or the quality of HN.

I don't want people to be sad or hurt either.

Sometimes it looks like something is opportunistic or scammy. In that case you flag it. If something seems clueless and doesn't seem to have a lot of work or thought behind it I hope people want to help when they level harsh criticism. In these cases people need direction and it's a case where guidance or mentorship might help. It's so important to do this with care.

How long did you spend trying to learn Nix? I am trying to learn Nix as well because when I see it working it looks very clear and organized.

NixOS seems like it is from the future in my opinion. I agree the docs are outdated a bit. I had to go on IRC to #nixos to find out nix-shell is now nix shell. I submitted a pull request to the Nix Pills for that.

Taskwarrior. I really wish I could use it on all my mobile devices easily. I especially wish that I could control it using my voice and use it with all my wearables. I think a taskwarrior service with easy setup and UI through modern channels is my dream of how people change the way they get things done. Taskwarrior isn't there yet but I feel like I've got super powers when I plan with it. Unfortunately when I'm doing my plans I don't want to always have a terminal window open.

Reminds me of 'Phuby on Phails', Ruby on Rails in PHP...just because. I think the WTFF is about the same (off the charts).

No sweat. I have seen some native English speakers misspell it the same way. It's not just the spelling that counts. Thanks for posting this article.

Why can't people spell "losing?"

This looks like pyresttest.

From the Flare website

"4.1: Why is the Singularity Institute interested in Flare?

"AI has always been one of the traditional drivers of programming language advances, although usually for the wrong reasons. We don't think AI is so simplistic that the thought processes have anything to do with the idioms of the underlying programming language, but we also think that current programming tools are simply inadequate. It would be really hard to code an AI in a non-object-oriented language and it probably won't be easy to build AI in a non-annotative language either. Flare, an extensible language easily modifiable by Flare programs, will let us write more powerful tools, and will let the AI introspect and tinker with its own source code, without our needing to become compiler and interpreter specialists."

"If there's no production-quality Flare language by the time the Singularity Institute begins writing code on the AI project, as seems likely, then we'll probably be forced to write pseudo-Flare programs in Python, at least for the prototype. But we won't have to like it, and we'll still want to switch to Flare as soon as possible."

The Singularity Institute has embarked on a long-term quest to develop real AI. They don't want to stop there, either; they want to develop recursively self-improving AI, Friendly AI, and transhuman AI. The Singularity - the technological creation of greater-than-human intelligence - is a quest of such mind-boggling importance and earthshaking impact that our words cannot even begin to describe it. (You should go read their website.) Even if you've never heard of the Singularity Institute and you're getting involved in Flare solely because you love annotative programming, we still hope that you get a warm fuzzy feeling from helping to bring about a swifter and safer Singularity. "

Saw this part and got curious: "Programmers note that a system like this can’t build larger projects out of small snippets of code which, to be fair, sounds like whistling past the graveyard."

So I clicked on the original link and saw this: "At the moment, DeepCoder is only capable of solving programming challenges that involve around five lines of code. But in the right coding language, a few lines are all that’s needed for fairly complicated programs."

A far cry at this point from "OUT of the way, human, I’ve got this covered. A machine learning system has gained the ability to write its own code."

Still it's been amazing how much has been done with deep learning in such a short period of time.

I wonder when this will change from seeming like an advanced code snippet finder/synthesizer to an actual skilled coder.

Reminds me of "The Diamond Age" by Neil Stephenson

Like it. Would rather use voice to plan, however. 'Remind me at 3 to program.' Android phones have pretty good voice control for reminders and are great for scheduling.

Now, if I didn't have a good way to set this stuff with voice, I would love this app.

I love how it is under 5mb and doesn't use unneeded permissions. I love how easy it is to enter things in. And I love how the notifications work and how you can have it export to google calendar.

Good devs may leave your shop and go somewhere new. I would rather work for an agile shop any day. Better quality of life.

Move to Columbus, OH. Low cost of living. Nice down to earth Midwestern people. You can continue in tech if you want without the silicon valley madness. If you don't want to do that there's plenty of other stuff going on. Sounds horrible. Sounds worlds different from the tech work I do. In Columbus, OH.

Seriously, when you remove all the stress and mania of silicon valley I think you'll be feeling much better.

Very interesting. Might try feeding it some stuff off Smithsonian classic jazz

I was hoping this would be a link to code committed by AI. More of those, please?

I see opportunity. Let's make this better.

Had to look on the readme to find the 'quest for job'part: "I have 2 years experience working with golang and 5 years of web development experience. I don't have a juicy CV because I'm in Tanzania, and almost everyone I graduated with has no job, has never had one and doubts he/she will ever land one (unless, of course, you are lucky which I'm not.)

If you are a recruiter, please get in touch, because I have my full trust that code will get me out of this abysmal poverty."

I read this article and it seemed to say we should be scared of capitalism AND robots. The title to this post seems to not completely match what I read. Any body else see that as well?

Also, I started thinking about how everything we need being made for us by robots was an odd concept. I have found that at my core I have a need to connect with other beings and enrich my life and the life of others by doing something creative, inspiring, collaborative, or just connecting on a fundamental level by sharing experiences with others.

David Mitchell's first book. Was also reading 'Knockemstiff' but I decided 3/4 of the way through that I should read something less bleak.+1 for everything @sshine mentioned.

I like Google's new logo. Good article, though.

Is this just a copy of another exploit? https://github.com/Dominic12/MacPoison/issues/1

Why would you use this instead of Cucumber?

I recommend 'Be Prepared'. It's a funny book with great illustrations. It is also a very useful book with great advice.

I know you want scientific books, but I can't think of any. There are experts on childhood learning, like Piaget, you can use Google and Stack Exchange to find almost anything, and you also do have access to scientific, peer-reviewed articles (use Google, once again, or go to a university library) if you have the inclination and skill to get what you need from them.

That said...Do you need to do this? I say you probably don't when it comes to parenting.

Knowledge and wisdom are two different things. You'll get farthest by being a good partner to your wife and by taking some time every day to reflect on where you're going and let what you've learned from experience sink in.

Parenting is more like something you practice and live. It's hard to capture it's essence in book form.

Also, people are a tremendous resource. People you know personally and can speak to personally might be able to provide something books don't have. Think about the people you know and most respect. If any of them are experienced parents then go to them. That set of people hopefully includes your mom.

And your dad.

Happy father's day and congratulations!
