Good point. I am an Indian, raised in India, came to US at 19.

I notice the same thing here. We have neighbors who are white and have their grandkids over every day. It is very refreshing to see.

However, it is a rare thing to see at the same time. I have never seen other native born Americans talk about their grandkids or heard of them being involved in their upbringing.

I am cautious of the stereotypes such as when they retire, they just want to be left alone, travel and not be bothered. But the stories where they end up in old age homes while their children are fully grown adults and successful, are far too often. This doesn't make sense to me because on one hand they would look forward to their children and grandchildren visiting them in their old age homes, on the other hand they don't want to live together.

Sure, I am fine with the idea "if it works for them, then good for them", but it doesn't seem to work for them.

So to summarize, I think the American culture is still trying to figure itself out. Perhaps things would fall into place in a generation or two after learning from other cultures (and of course, other cultures learning some good things from American culture).
Hahaha I loved the humor displayed on page 20. Looks like you're sticking well to your idea of trying to make the book enjoyable and easy to read!
My armchair general understanding is that the requirement of the F-35B variant is responsible for a whale sized portion of the F-35's woes?
are you sure? I thought they were simply postulating that native speakers would more accurately 'capture' the characters of a word/phrase if they recognized it from their own language. If you know what a word is supposed to be, then it's easier to read messy writing. I realize I could find out by just reading the PDF paper, but I think it's worth answering here for the benefit of HN readers
60 hour work week to meet a marketing deadline. No thanks. If I could get a 1/3 for a job that has no requirement of producing something and fixed hours. That way I can code for myself.
There isn't a difference in readability, XHTML is just stricter. Much of the HTML that exists is invalid HTML/XHTML, and the XML parser used for XHTML would simply error out. Most XHTML pages were served as HTML, due to mimetypes being wrongly configured, so no-one ever noticed.

The XML parser was supposed to be faster, and allow any XML to be embedded in the XHTML (SVG, MathML, etc). This stuff was designed to change the shape of the web (especially since mobile phones weren't very powerful in those days).

Your competitor's merchant processor should have an audit process where this is discovered.

It is unlikely that reporting it to said merchant processor will result in account termination since if your competitor is not at the level where an audit is required, he/she is simply filling out a form.

Incidentally, PCI-DSS 3.0 went into effect today, so anyone using Heroku for commerce became non-compliant today!

"Early expectations of stray radio signals leaking from technological civilizations were overly optimistic—we ourselves have gone radio faint with digitization."

Is this true? Have we been transmitting less RF over time? Where is the data for this?
By learning different I mean we don't learn in a "broadcast" way anymore. Check out this great article by Don Tapscott:

Yet the students, who have grown up in an interactive digital world, learn differently. Schooled on Google and Wikipedia, they want to inquire, not rely on the professor for a detailed roadmap. They want an animated conversation, not a lecture. They want an interactive education, not a broadcast one that might have been perfectly fine for the Industrial Age, or even for boomers. These students are making new demands of universities, and if the universities try to ignore them, they will do so at their peril.

Regarding the graphics, the whole lisp thing did not take off is what I think happened. When Symbolics began there was a lot of excitement - them, MIT, LMI, Xerox, even VAX early on. But it did not really catch-on, some of that was because of fighting about the code between Symbolics, MIT, and LMI that held it back. So when Symbolics had good stuff, it was pretty much just them at that point cause they had won the fights and unix vendors were coming along.

So for their price you could get a few Sun boxes say, and you could have a few users on it. Genera was terrible about that. You could only have one user logged in at a time and that guy could change anything in the OS or programs however he felt, and then the next guy has no idea why everything is different.

Basically the graphics stuff was for effects and animation, and that did well for a while, but it was so alien to what everyone else was doing at that point, no other vendors could really make sofware easily portable between Genera and other hardware/OSes. So they did not and the S- software was really expensive route, it made the most sense to run it on VMs in OSF/1 of all things!

The other angle they could have exploited was CAD, but again Genera was the thorn. There was no way a Pro/E or anything of that sort would make it. The C on Symbolics was some strange half dynamic thing with GC implemented in lisp. Again just so alien. Essentially Dassault made a CAD (ICAD?) for it and that was it. But it was sort of ahead of it's time (there are now add-ons to all the CAD software that do similar approach, but back then it was so much like simply drafting on a computer what all the software was doing) and viewed as odd. Again very expensive and with all single user drawbacks, for example AutoCAD on PC and Pro/E on Sun were so much more appealing. And again the whole lisp thing because it was abandoned made it so that even Dassault could never really port it to modern hardware and it was a big expensive golden goose so they tried but eventually killed it and created/bought other products.

GitLab and GitHost are the two that immediately spring to mind. The former having a more free tier, the latter free for non-profit or education.
Cool. Facebook leaked my Canadian phone number. As if I didn’t get enough spam calls already. Time to declare phone call bankruptcy?
As nice as having DDL in a transaction is, once you get to scale this isn't used as you'll be doing index creation concurrently which cannot be done inside a DDL transaction.
Thanks a lot. Yours is pretty cool too. However, I agree with other people saying that the element of the bubbles moving might not be the best indicator of frequency of mentions of that word in tweets.

Not sure, how it could be done otherwise, but it needs to be thought a bit more about. Maybe do something more to the bubbles, like coloring and filling them. Maybe even just showing a number inside the bubble if there is room, or when highlighted.

Also, instead of refreshing the page, you could consider something like Socket.io between the web page and your node.js server to update the values. There might be other alternatives to Socket.io, but then you won't have to refresh the entire page.

Anyways, keep up the good work :)

Many frameworks max out at serving simple "hello world" requests at a few thousand req/sec, while Falcon can easily serve many more on the same hardware.

I'm the original creator of that repo. Keeping it up to date is unfortunately a time-consuming manual effort. Doing version control downstream is generally a nightmare because unraveling different law changes/typo fixes is complicated (yes, lot's of typos when humans consolidate laws by hand).

More SSL.

This attack works because the firewall is capable of reading plain HTTP requests to spot the ones that are requesting the target javascripts, and then statelessly injecting raced packets. Neither technique works when SSL is in use. Even if China simply demanded the SSL keys from Baidu, they'd have to decrypt every single connection on the fly and significantly upgrade their infrastructure.

I think the only way to continue this technique in the presence of widespread SSL use is to actually force Baidu to insert the malicious Javascript on their own servers.
You aren't the only one in doubt. There was an experiment that caused real controversy in the 60ies:

Erlang is not for computationally intensive stuff - but it could easily be used to control something that is, like a C program.

On the contrary, the move almost everywhere has been to encourage people to move outside. Eating outside, haircuts outside, etc.

Steam is a great example. I'm usually very pro-FOSS, but when it comes to gaming, I happily fork over the $$$, and a surprisingly large number of games work just fine on Linux.

As I understand it, Valve have been explicitly marketing proton-compatibility as a low-hurdle standard to help Windows developers dip into the Linux market. Furthermore, changes are coming to the Linux kernel which will make it even easier for Proton to run Windows software.

The ease of proton compatibility completely obviates the tired arguments about how Linux users don't have enough market share.
I'm not sure there's an obvious way to (ab)use RT cores for something not directly RT-related. I don't know about DXR, but Vulkan RT API is rather high-level. You never see RT cores directly, you can just produce an opaque Acceleration Structure objects, handles to which can be used as an input into some shader functions. The way these ASes are built is rather rigid, and you never see what's inside (i.e. there's no actual guarantee that they're implemented using a BVH of sorts). Shaders are also directly RT-specific, i.e. you can only ask questions like "what will I hit if the ray is cast from this point into that direction". There's no API to e.g. traverse an AS manually, although you can get your hands on non-nearest hits if you want (for e.g. transparency).

You can sensibly use RT APIs together with raymarching. There is a notion of custom geometry that's specified using bounding boxes. When ray hits one, it's your responsibility to compute an exact intersection manually in the shader. This can definitely help with complex scenes with a lot of very different sdf objects that don't intersect much.

But yeah, in that case you'd still have to pay the Vulkan price first. I might experiment with what can be the size-chepest way to get vk rendering.
I was hiking on the A.T. back in college mid-March and it was just a bit above freezing and rainy. My group (all from Florida) was bundled up inside a cabin to get out of the rain. In wandered some other college kids in shorts and tees, soaking wet. They were from Minnesota. I really don't know how they didn't have hypothermia, but I guess you can acclimate to quite a range of temperatures... for a while.
It uses other information too. It wouldn’t go over 45 or so unless it’s clearly a freeway with a divider and other cars were going that fast. And there is probably something that uses last known speed, and it remembers speeds it has seen before.

But the updates do other things too, like help it understand new kinds of signs or to improve handling of weird situations.
But only by exclusion. The Economist speaks from a classical/neo liberal viewpoint. Civil liberties, free markets, laissez faire, technocracy. Labour is too statist for them, and the Conservatives are currently too populist (and incompetent). The Economist's position lines up pretty well with the Orange Book wing of the Lib-Dems [1], but much less well with the SDP / social liberal wing.

They have backed all three major parties in general elections in the last twenty years [2].

Pomodoro and variants thereof prescribe exactly a context switch in some intervals, quite successfully. 25-30 minutes of work followed by 5-30 minutes of not working. I personally tend toward a 30/10 split with a longer break halfway through the day and it works very well.

I probably should not be telling you how to do your job, but I will nevertheless suggest that you concentrate more on daily or weekly progress than monitoring things minute to minute.
> 15 seen &= mask(haystack);

Shouldn't it be

seen ^= mask(haystack);

And a personal change would be to define all as:

int all = ~(~0 << ('z' - 'a' + 1));

EDIT: For some reasons, asterisk doesn't appear before haystack.
No, but the 80-90% of situations they are suited for, they make safer and more efficient.
That's an odd thing to say considering the price went down this week.
“Replacing” gold? Do you expect that gold will disappear or become worthless?
Because there’s no way to spin that as a benefit for the user.

Optics is the most important factor and it’s something Apple’s marketing department does better than most companies.
I've never liked the built-in new tab pages in browsers. I made my own years ago never looked back. Since 2017 I’ve run my new tab page as a small SaaS.
You are obviously taking my comment in bad faith, but even if you ignore the the two bombs, I believe nuclear energy is the cleanest renewable.
I don't really think flat forum threads scale any better than a tree for replication. You'd see the same point on page 3, 5, 9, 10, 17, where people would just read the first and last pages. There would be multiple parallel quote-reply arguments with people saying the same thing.

I also just don't think your average hobby forum topic is something requiring much nuance or complexity. It's not a philosophy journal, it's someone asking a bunch of internet strangers if they've ever tried using an Arduino for hydroponics and how it went.
I like the idea and the execution, nice job!
Well, Markdown is a form of WYSIWYG strictly speaking. Poor man WYSIWYG if you wish.

This

* list item 1
* list item 2

mimics final representation of bullet list and so do pretty much all other syntax constructs of Markdown.

The only benefit it gives for the user (if to compare with typical WYSIWYG) is a simplification of caret positioning.

Consider these MD construct:

_italics_**bold**

In MD you can easily put something in between these two words or modify words themselves. But in case of "tru-WYSIWYG" you will have this situation:

<i>italics</i><b>bold</b>

with just one caret position between italics and bold. In fact there are three possible caret positions (on edges of words and between) but no WYSIWYG editor allows you to do that.
Possibly way OT but this reminds me of a question I had. Lets say I have a task that creates a daily invoice that failed to run for X days, but when it's run again it needs to go back and create X invoices from when it was last run. Is there a name / concept for that?
really I'm just assuming K << N and constant as you can arbitrarily specify an addition but not a subtraction.

Consider a nuclear power plant. While there might be an infinite number of potential safety valves I could add, it won't take me long to figure out one that will be good enough that I can safely add it somewhere without causing problems. Doubling the available valve options does not really make the task harder, but doubling the complexity does mean it takes about two times longer to validate it.

On the other hand if we presuppose that there is one valve in the plant that should be removed, I will on average have to evaluate around half of all the valves before finding it. If you double the number of valves in the plant, now each evaluation is twice as hard, and I will on average have to do twice as many such evaluations, so the task should take about four times as long.

So the capitalist system is “saving money to buy stocks” and the solution to fix it is “bipartisanship” and “metrics”? Gotta say he does make a strong case for the failure of the US education system.
I think the moment that Git really clicked for me was realizing the following 3 tenets:

1. Commits are a SHA that points to a given state of the codebase _and_ its parent. The latter part is very important for the next 2 tenets...
2. Branches are just named commits but you can commit more stuff on top of them to change the position of the named commit.
3. Tags are just branches that don't have that additional mutability.

At the end of the day, branching and tagging is just about naming things. Because Git's higher-level primitive is a commit, and a commit knows who its parent is, all of this stuff can "just work" without much effort or overhead.

Now some advanced Git folks will probably comment that this is an over-simplified understanding of how this software works, but keep in mind this is intended for people who have never used Git or indeed a version control system of any kind in their lives. You need to have a basic understanding of its concepts before you can get into the nitty-gritty between the "plumbing" and "porcelain".
Suddenly I'm reminded of how Windows represents the command line as a single string (PWSTR), and how entry points that expect argv-style are parsed by the CRT at startup.

vs. Unix where char *argv[] is what makes it to the syscall layer.

The result there is that command line processing is more consistent program-to-program on Unix. On Windows, every program could decide to tokenize the arguments differently.
AFAIK it doesn't, it expects a continuous file without fragmentation.

On btrfs systems, for example, I have to set a bit to disable COW for the file to be used as a swapfile, otherwise it will not work.
Operating systems are fairly stable and consistent wrt to UI when it comes to stuff like from the author's list.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I'm looking for something more than "it's possible to do this."

Or rather, I don't think there's a need to go to such an extent to preserve old usernames and histories. I think it'd be sufficient to let archivists at whatever data they wanted, and return the names to the churn.
When I was a youngling, my uncle would travel abroad..when he was in the Middle East, he’d write back long letters to me..it was this thin paper called onion skin…because in those days, mail was weighed and postage was determined on the basis of weight. He used the letters to teach the region’s history from Jordon to Palestine to Israel to Iran…and also post cards.

Post cards are sadly out of fashion. I have a whole collection of them that family sent each other from all over the world..There will be an image on one side and a box for address and a tiny space for message.

You could see the personalities of the various family members from what they try to cram within that tiny space or how empty it was..

My favourite: There is one from Egypt circa 1957 where someone on a world tour scribbled that they were going to end trip and return home because they were out of mango pickle(vegetarian Indian Brahmin family of 4 and had curd rice throughout the itinerary. Packed a jar of mango pickle from home.), but made a ‘friend’ at the embassy who made an Egyptian version of preserved lemon which ‘will do’.

But I digress..everyone of these postcard communications will always end with ‘affly’. And for the longest time..until I was in my teens, I’d use it to sign off like that too. And a friend asked me wth is ‘affly’ because it sounds like ‘awfully’. I had no clue, of course.

I asked my mom and she said that it was ‘yours affectionately’ shortened because the postcard space was too small.

I still use ‘affly’ in my communications with family.
Given that there's no list of forbidden books, nor any realistic way of determining beforehand whether a specific book would be considered detrimental to China's security or otherwise would be illegal, is it actually a law?

I am inclined to contrast it to what it's like in my own country. Canada, of course like every country, has a variety of laws that prohibit certain kinds of expression.

The difference is that, while you may need to brush up on your legal scholarship and perhaps consult a lawyer, you can be quite confident, before you commit an act, whether it is or isn't actually illegal. For matters on the fringes of jurisprudence, the debate whether it is or isn't banned will occur publicly at trial, with reasons given and debated based on the text of the laws in question, and stand as precedent for what counts as illegal under that law.

The content of a law may be arbitrary, but they aren't arbitrarily made up as you go. That's not law then, it's the fiat of a dictator.
And don't forget carbon-monoxide poisonings and deaths...

Then there's hybrids. I've personally witnessed 2 fires and know another friend whos car burned. Two Prius and one Nissan something. Those are the worst of both worlds, gas and electric!
