Using a part called an "escapement." This explains it clearly and succinctly, right at the top:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_watch

EDIT: Seiko created a hybrid watch that I think is really cool. Like a traditional mechanical watch, the sole source of power is a spring, which in turn is wound by the movements of the wearer. However, in place of an escapement, it uses part of the power from the spring to create just enough electric current to excite a quartz crystal, which provides the timing source for the mechanical movements of the watch. Unlike other watches (mechanical or electronic), the second hand doesn't move in steps, but rather rotates smoothly and continuously around the face:

I frequent two spaces here in san francisco bay: noisebridge and hackerdojo.

What I love about noisebridge:

- Always people there working on all sorts of projects: and not just software or hardware. Some food hackers as well.

- Lots of tools you can freely use (bandsaws, scopes, cables, etc)

- Friendly community where all you need to do is just ask someone what they are working on. Easy to make friends.

- Open all hours of the day. Governance is best described as anarchy. Number one rule is to "be excellent to each other".
Government not placing requirements around grant money (with regards to the potential final product) is on the government to be sure. I don't know if the Singapore model is appropriate, or perhaps requirements around maximum allowable profit margins on drugs created in-part with government grants, but one or the other would at least be honest.

No patents is a bit harsh, but short-run patents aren't. But let's be clear about generics - the global generics marketplace is closing in on $500B/year [0], so again, I rather flippantly dismiss any and all cries of "without 20 year patents we wouldn't get any new drugs!" Making generics is still rather expensive, and the market is incredibly large. I don't know about doing away with patent protections completely, but 20 years (yes I know that includes testing, but companies can apply for a patent extension) is outlandish, and stops so many people globally from getting access to drugs in the name of profiteering.

In fact, it's gotten so ridiculous that countries - including one of the largest emerging markets in the world, India - are just ignoring US patents and developing generics. When countries start risking international trade ties with the US over drug patents and access to life-saving treatments for 3rd-world markets, something is amiss.

As for other first-world (and large 3rd-world) countries chipping in for FDA testing, I imagine they would, if a US-based company was not then granted a price-gouging monopoly over that research worldwide. That doesn't appear to be an option you mention.

But is 'forbid' really the right word here? I certainly agree that such interfaces encourage people to "accept without questioning", but it seems that there is no necessary obstacle to making something that's easy to use but also permits you to dive under the hood and see the details. (I think particularly of Mac OS before it started becoming all iOS'd. Even now, when Apple's 'just work'ing settings don't just work for you, you can often fix it by diving into the command line.)
very neat! Love the game! great work!
You can't imply that these organizations would need to try and guess your passwords though. They have extensive profiles on everyone, "see" the entire internet traffic and can take the data from that password protected website at will.
Heck, for a string manipulation that simple you don't even need `sed`, you can just use the shell -- modulo potential escaping errors (I haven't actually tested this), something like this should do the trick:

ProxyCommand ssh -aY bastion 'nc -w 900 `x="%h"; echo ${x%%.bast}` %p'

From Twitter:

> As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy.

> This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.

http://superkuh.com/radio/ . In that directory you'll find most of the recorded radio history as well as the bash script and depends to do it yourself (http://superkuh.com/radio/deps/). The top of the bash script has a readme in the comments.

For 70-1000 MHz it's just a homemade discone antenna hooked to an rtlsdr dongle running rtl_power. I have written a little bash script that automates calling heatmap.py to render the 30k pixel wide image, imgcnv to slice it into image tiles, and generate an PanoJS HTML page to display the tiles.
I think a more correct way to say it wouldn't be "because of Jewish people being rich", but "because of Jewish people being perceived as rich as a group".

I don't think anyone in their right mind would try arguing that most jewish people in Germany at the time were rich, because that was definitely not the case at all.
I can't find that data. I did find daily statistics for "Total beds - occupied by confirmed COVID-19 patients (as at 08:00)"[0], which from the 1st to 6th of January is the following sequence:

5511 5861 6358 6733 6816 7034

So apparently increasing rapidly

I prefer Element, but apparently it's not popular enough even among HN users, so don't even hope. Signal is popular among the HN users, because it was hyped for a long time by tech-journalists as a pinnacle of secure messaging, but as an app it's even worse than WhatsApp. And not very popular outside of HN. Telegram is very popular in Russia&neighbours and only mildly popular in Europe, even less so in USA. Arguably the best of 3 in terms of usability, HN users don't like it because it has some non-standard e2e encryption, which is not enabled by default in private chats.

Also, FYI, Telegram is going to introduce some paid features soon, but it's not completely clear what they'll be. There just was some talking about that's it about the time they are going to monetize it, but I'm not sure if they announced what exactly becomes paid and what doesn't.
The NYT article reminds me of that terrible Bloomberg article on Supermicro hardware being backdoored. Nice to see that Jetbrains have a response out quickly :)
Because of the fundamental nature of DRM, the LBRY toolchain is not able to actually enforce the idea that users will pay a fee to view content. Perhaps one user will pay once, but that is not the same as what LBRY is selling to independent artists.
To be fair, receiving stolen goods is illegal in the United States.
I've used script.aculo.us and had it work in Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome; christopherwoodall.com/youtube.

JQuery also has a Drag-and-Drop feature.
I don't understand how people can equate copyright infringement and stealing. Even if you're a proponent of current copyright laws, a quick glance at those very laws will inform you that they're quite different, and in fact copyright infringement can easily be committed accidentally and often commands much larger penalties than actual theft.

I think the argument is used so often because proponents of intellectual property protection realize that constructing an appeal to more axiomatic laws/rights breaks down very quickly. Traditional property rights are very easy to formally argue for by appealing to scarcity of resources. That obviously doesn't work for intellectual property.
I'm not 100% sure this is still the case, but I recall not being able to buy apps on iTunes using gift card credit a year or two back. I got the impression it had something to do with the way that software is taxed in Canada (Ontario specifically)—music and gift cards weren't taxed, but apps were.

So as far as I'm aware, you do need a credit card to buy apps, at least in Ontario.
It hasnt been slow for several years.

The "facts" on the reunification page are... interesting: http://www.korea-dpr.com/reunification.htm

It's so far out there, I become suspicious that this is a joke. But then, most of the news I hear from N. Korea falls into that category.

You do realize, the implementation, algorithm and the input data are equal parts of the artwork. That a layman will have trouble appreciating the more technical parts is irrelevant.
Standing: If A violated the rights of B, person C watching it cannot sue on A's behalf.

The Texas standing was always going to be an issue, yes. What right does Texas have to make PA enforce their own laws? PA can choose not to enforce their laws if they want. But Texas, and six other states, claimed this would have diluted their own votes for the Federal Government.

I do not believe the standing issue here, because there is literally no other court for Texas to sue in. This wasn't really an issue of standing. It was an issue of cowardice.
Again, I get that this can be tricky.

But if you get it wrong, what happens? You have to refactor (if you didn't get too far in), or start again if you did. No big deal - code is perfectly amenable to this.

But the political and social problems of "we got it wrong, we're going to have to start again from scratch" are the real problems. Dealing with a marketing manager who has a product launch scheduled for the 2nd quarter and you're about to tell them that you need to reschedule because you got the architecture wrong on the first try - that is a business problem not an architectural problem.

The tech problems get a lot easier if you have some kind of framework for dealing with the business problems.
Nintendo's total value is definitely limited due to their hardware lock. If they went hardware agnostic their value would triple overnight.
It doesn’t feel like a feature to me. And neither does the lack of deniability. They both feel like things that leak information that doesn’t need to be leaked.
I don't know how many Simple employees are in this thread. I'm very sad to hear this news, and I'm sure you were too. Just want you to know that you all made a really meaningful difference in the lives of at least my wife and I. Before I switched to Simple, I had a really hard time budgeting for things/planning for expenses, and was frequently toeing the line of overdrawing my account. I was essentially financially illiterate.

Simple made it incredibly easy for me to get my shit together and start being proactive with my money, so there was really no excuse to not do so. Now, my wife and I are well on our way to an early payoff on our mortgage (~18 years early), paying off our vehicle loans early (~2 years early), having a pretty good safety net in the bank, and being otherwise debt free.

So if you haven't heard it above the sadness of losing Simple: thank you. Seriously, thank you. You really did something great and you should all be proud of what you've accomplished.
They're probably talking about Apple suddenly announcing they'd be dropping Imagination out of the blue in 2017.
Honestly, it kind of is. Regardless of the legal and administrative elaborations, the psychological impact of whose flag is flying and who has custody of it are at least equally important.
Caches aren't the problem (in the context of SPECTRE), branch prediction is. Getting rid of caches would be very costly performance-wise. VLIW CPUs don't predict branches themselves, but rely on the compiler to generate optimal code ahead of time. I was actually expecting an updated Itanium after the SPECTRE debacle.
I have stopped communicating with friends and family who try communicating via insecure apps. I send a response saying I will only read Signal or similar messages from them.

Some think this is a hardline, but my security is important to me, and true friends and family need to respect that.

It's kind of like how my sister is vegan, so when she comes over for dinner, I cook vegan dishes for her. I respect and accommodate her lifestyle choices, and she does likewise by communicating with me via my preferred medium. Conversely, for example, I no longer talk to one cousin because he ignored requests to use a safe messaging app, and that is OK too.
I submit that college sports are far more damaging to society than pro sports.
"When a photon interacts with a cell, it has a certain (small) probability of causing a carcinogenic mutation."

I'm also no expert, but surely there is a risk of more significant, irreparable genetic damage accumulating if several photons interact with the same skin cell, as opposed to those same photons interacting with several different cells throughout the body?

the UCSF letter explains why this is not a valid comparison. the ambient radiation absorbed in flight and the radiation of the mwbs are not in the same part of the spectrum so they are not comparable using simple agregate statistics. the stopping power of your (or any) body is function of the energy of the incident radiation (or particle) and this not considered in the mrem comparison.
So, is this really going to help, if I don't have tons of busy processes (a'la "make -j64") running?
X-Ray technicians also hide behind lead-lined walls, so when they're irradiating you they're doing so while protected. The TSA screeners are just standing next to the machines and are probably getting pretty much the same dose that their passengers are, which given that these machines are in the TSA's hands, probably means that they have absolutely no idea as to what dosage they're actually delivering.
Well said. I like Twitter but god forbid I say anything against anything on the mainstream media networks, I get banned. On my 4th banned account now.

Minimum wage laws are part of the larger system, not an isolated black/white switch. What if people out of employment also get some financial support to retrain / kick out their addictions / cure a sickness. A minimum wage law would push a number of people out of employment, but the additional support systems would increase their chances to come back at a higher wage level. We do this all the time at a personal level, by deferring employment and using the time [and hefty sums of money] to go to school.

The end result may well be diverting resources from the most productive centers of society to the most needing sections thereof. Worse, it will be afflicted by corruption, only a fraction of the diverted money will end up on the most needing people plate.

What level of wasteful spending we are comfortable with?
When I started last job my friend who hired me for a small team hooked me on dota2.

We played 1 hour each day in the break time. It was fun, but there were downsides:

- 1 hour later at home

- addictive

- it's very frustrating when you play well and lose

Eventually we stopped it and instead started play ing oing-pong with guys that rent offices in the same building. It takes much less time, it's exercises, and even if you lose it's all on you and there's much less competitiveness than with dota.

Of course it wouldn't work for remote teams. If I can give advice - choose games that can be over quickly (15 minutes not more, certainly not 1 hour), and that aren't very competitive.
Cool, but I'm so tired of Python that I've started to avoid any projects written with it. Dealing with dependencies, 2 vs. 3, pip, virtualenv, etc is such a pain.

I think the Java/Go/Rust model where all dependencies are included in the binary is the way to go.
Going to a work outing once every few months to talk to people over free beers isn't preventing me from having a life outside of work. Plenty of people skip it too.

True. And you can address it yourself by blocking JS mainly, and ads, and be amazed at how snappily a web page renders (when it does, which is often but not always sans JS).
Many years ago, I wrote jar2app: https://github.com/Jorl17/jar2app

At the time, I had a Minecraft jar on my hands, and I was tired of it not showing up in Spotlight's results because it was "just" a Jar. So I cobbled together this lazy script to get around that. I guess I got carried away writing the documentation when I published it, but it was never meant to be used "in production".

People often stumble upon the project and pose questions (same goes with some of my other projects like the barely-standing https://www.open-elevation.com/ ), but I just don't have the energy and time to fix things, answer issues and all tat jazz

I feel _really_ bad for not helping people out, clearing their doubts, fixing their issues, and improving my "creations" that were thrown out into the world. It's just that from my perspective, these things I built are extremely simple, mostly weekend-projects, which were for my own use, and I just happened to put them out there to help out whoever needs them. I accept donations on https://www.open-elevation.com/ to try to at least break-even on the cost of the hardware (I don't, not even close, but that's okay), but really I don't have time and energy to help out...

All this to say that I'm sure if I had put in just a tiny bit of effort throughout the years, even if just by looking at issues and pull requests created by others, I'm sure jar2app could be on this list (and _especially_ because of the work that others could have put into it, if I just provided them with feedback once in a while).

So, if anyone's out there, I'm sorry! I really just don't have the time, energy and in some cases the money...
There is no non theoretical way to measure demand and supply separately from market data. All prices, for example, already include not only costs, but expectations of demand.

You need data that includes so called demand shifters or demand multipliers, to estimate the supply and vice versa.

That is, if you observe a supply independent shift of demand, you can use that measure of to identify supply parameters. Even if you di this non parametrically, you implicitly impose a model.

Supply and demand is one of the origin problems of the theory of statistical identification and causal analysis.
Other than size savings for the download and storage of potentially redundant things-formerly-known-as-the-JRE, were there performance benefits to having a shared JRE?

Theoretically, a slow but Java-optimized system could cache (components of) the JRE in memory and make those pages available to novel JRE-based executables, much like a binary shared library [0]. Was this ever done in practice? I imagine it would have sped up Java Web Start startup times considerably - and mobile platforms as well, perhaps?

Reddit has a paid advertisement feature. Has worked for me, at least to get a few initial customers.
On github it's more likely that western developers check the source.
Type errors are whatever your type system defines them to be. It's perfectly reasonable to define a type error as "code that would throw an error if executed".

I think abstract interpretation is more abstract than you are thinking. It essentially means stepping through the code only keeping track of "abstract" properties of the program state. I.e. keeping track of variable types rather than values. This does mean that a function can have a different type based on how it's called, but there's an entire class of "flow sensitive" type systems with that property.
Given that a number of people on this site and elsewhere insist Murray isn't racist, even acknowledging that he is would be a nice change.

I work on a decentralised blockchain — the way we bootstrap new nodes onto the network is through a ‘topology’ file which contains peers they want to connect to on launch. This is literally just IP addresses and ports. The file could then be updated by those nodes sharing their topology files on new connections, but we don’t do that.

No, I was definitely not hearing high pitch when noise cancelling was on. I was hearing it when I removed the headset after using it of a few hours. It usually disappeared the next day. One time though i could still hear the high pitch for several days, that’s when I decided to stop using the QC25 and the high pitch eventually faded away and never came back, until AirPods.
I've never had an old colleague contact me. Is that a thing?

I’m not a lawyer but if you’re not embedding GPL code output into your code, you’re fine. Using GPL code to write or reason about code under a different license is not the same thing as having GPL software output a copy of its own GPL-licensed code, for example: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/5221...

The only other risk is letting your company’s proprietary code be visible by third-parties but Sourcetrail runs locally on your computer and can run completely offline.

As to Sourcetrail’s licensing— it previously had a closed license and was supported by a startup with a number of employees. It recently went open source and can be supported financially through Patreon: https://www.sourcetrail.com/blog/open_source/
