Aperture doesn't matter. The gammas that make those bright pixels will comfortably penetrate the shutter, lens, and the entire camera body. It's the time between erase and readout that matters, as you say, and it will act as a 4pi dipole detector.

I already have the Pocket Operations book - it’s great. Thanks for those other links.
Of course they've been in your lightcone -- otherwise it would've been impossible for you two to have a back-and-forth exchange!
Good luck trying to get specs out of Apple.

Apple computers are some of the worst documented computers out there. Also, niche components, one-off chips, secret registers and unidentifiable chips on the logic board, the T2 chip alone is a nightmare for linux (and the T2 is on every Apple laptop since 2018). The M1 isn't even minimally documented yet, and reverse engineering it will probably take a decade.
I'll be curious about it coming back up. It's the sort of site where there's an army of people continually trying to reload the page if something isn't working.
An intern shouldn't have those permissions.
Also worth noting that these aren't experimental or risky vaccines. This is about vaccination for measles, tetanus, whooping cough, diphtheria, and others. They are all vaccines that have long been in very wide use around the world and are known to be safe and effective.
Yes, if they drive them negligently, in a way that is likely to cause harm to others, yes. Yes, if they fail to maintain them such that they're an accident waiting to happen.

The main issue here is negligence of taking reasonable precautions and endangering others' lives due to that negligence (even if no one was actually killed or injured.) People should still be punished for driving 50 mph over the speed limit.
Who would want to learn Javascript for the frontend and Python/Ruby/C#/Java/PHP/Whatever for the backend? And HTML for UI with CSS for styling?

You say this, but people do it all the time.
Hmm, he complains about the awesome bar being coded inefficiently, but I'm on a several year old laptop and the awesome bar is pretty much instant at showing results for me when I type a key. So his evidence is not compelling in my experience. Reading his links, it sounds like his memory error checking tool is what causes slow down, not the usual Chrome code. Kind of bizarre he is pointing fingers at others when his stuff is the problem that needs to be worked on.

His whole argument boils down to:
> Considering performance in the small is not “premature optimization”, it is simply good engineering, and good craftsmanship

But that's the same reason German industry tends to compete so badly right now. They do a lot of hand trimmed and finished components that really could have been better designed for automation and require less custom craftsmanship. His argument seems to boil down to aesthetics.
It's pretty easy to set up navigation without voice control. Basically just pull over for a second, enter your destination, start navigation, then get back on the road. It probably takes the same amount of time as voice commands, but it's not nearly as distracting.
The Surgeon General is correct. Masks are for the sick.
Because people being born in some place need somewhere to live without being displaced by hordes of locusts looking to see the sights.
It might of been more than a month now. The virus was in the news on January and then kind of disappeared out of the news. The way it was being reported too was that it was contained in China and hasn't made it out. I thought maybe I had it but it I thought it was unlikely considering the news.
We have laws in place that ban critical workers from striking. Air traffic controllers aren't allowed to just stop working. Usually Amazon warehouse workers are not critical infrastructure, but this month they are. Talking about "spite" implies I would be concerned about their opinion in any way if they were to start striking. Their feelings would be irrelevant.
Finishing a tabletop game simulating Robowars and Battlebot competitions. Looking for playtesters ;-)
It frustrates me to no end that this perfect piece of hardware is so shackled by software that it's essentially useless to me. It feels like seeing a juicy steak on your plate but once you put a piece of it in your mouth it's just smoke...
>> Absolute orientalist BS.

I politely disagree with your observations, though I acknowledge that I may not be right, I have observed and discussed this behaviour dozens of times with Japanese people in Japan for over twenty years and most find your parent's observation to be correct.

Please don't call people a racist for espousing reasonable views that you don't happen to believe.
Yeah exactly. It's a nuance thing. Hard to give a one size fits all for this. But by saying "I have some time open on X" you force the other person to say "that's no good how about y" at which point, assuming your schedule is open, you can say "sure" or simply ask the person what other time is good for them (avoiding sounding like anytime is good for you).
The feeling of knowing that your computers and accounts are secure and that even if something bad happens you can easily just restart is great.
How is that even not a thing yet?
Modern Hebrew does have the same vowel diacritics used since the early middle ages, but they're used only in children's books as training wheels, in poetry (e.g. see Haaretz's poetry section: https://www.haaretz.co.il/literature/poetry), and occasionally to resolve ambiguities in literary prose. They're rarely used in, say, news reports, even to clarify foreign names, which results in common mispronunciations (worse, they even omit the diacritic that distinguishes B/V and P/F, which makes foreign names truly ambiguous -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagesh).

BTW, because modern Hebrew was revived from biblical Hebrew, biblical Hebrew is completely understandable to the modern Hebrew speaker, and sounds only a little archaic; something like how 18th century English sounds to a modern English speaker. Shakespeare's 16th century English is more foreign to the modern English speaker than biblical Hebrew is to the modern Hebrew speaker. English has continuously changed, while ancient Hebrew was transported to the late 19th century. Funnily, because the revivers of Hebrew preferred biblical Hebrew over, say, medieval Hebrew, medieval texts might sound more archaic to modern Hebrew speakers than more ancient ones.

Scala already has a foothold on the same research domain due to large data frameworks like Hadoop and Spark, with NVidia caring for polyglot support on CUDA, including JVM based languages.
:) Glad to hear it! Tell your friends about Oil. There are many shell users in the world and most of them haven't heard of it!
Eh , I grew up really poor. A significant number of those homeless people would spend the $50,000 on a new car.

It's just not a very clear issue. I'd argue anyone who doesn't make arrangements to leave California when they catch themselves slipping economically plays at least a part in their homelessness.

In almost every other place in America, you can make out an existence with a bit more than minimum wage. You might not have the best apartment but it's possible.

California, specifically LA and San Francisco are best described as living hells. While a tiny minority is doing fine, most people are either homeless or almost homeless. Even making 100K a year, you're not going to be able to save any money. The vast majority of the city makes less than that.
Good thing we only care about the next 30 years. Where's that coal?? I want to go for a joyride in my personal train.
I can’t make any immediate guarantees around sending our kit to Europe. However, we do not collect payment until after we ship the kit, so please sign up on our early access page to hold a spot in line. If/when we reach critical mass we may be able to onboard customers in Europe.
> You might be looking at the wrong language for that.

You’re right, Python is not a simple language at all. Yet that’s how it’s widely perceived - I’m not sure why.
it costs 100 quid to go from heathrow to zone 3 via black cab, and about 35 for uber.

"Uber of course go with phone you then just don't show if they don't like the route and waste half and hour of yours. At least it was a two way conversation with a cabbie."

I completely disagree. The uber app shows the route the driver is taking and offers way more transparency than a black cab.
I thought that Ciorba is only soured with lemon when you can’t get fermented cabbage juice? Maybe it depends on the region?
This one is a pretty solid vegetarian soup:

This video, despite the annoying voice, describes it and its ingredients, I think it should be easy enough to follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSnXUxXC0_E (it's actually "ciorba de stevie" but it's basically the same thing)

Loboda is this thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atriplex_hortensis

I Imagine you can use regular spinach if you don't have it.
I studied compiler design at university and the subject matter here was a lot more approachable, but in that, it sacrifices a lot of the theory.
But nobody laughs at the Time Cube.
that's by design - popularity is not a good judge however. A better system would be to provide upvote/downvote buttons to only a small, random subset of users in each topic.
The page shows some faces, and the faces look at the mouse pointer.

For example, faces below the mouse pointer look up, faces above it look down.
Has centralised quality control for taxi drivers worked somewhere?

Yes. I can provide you with multiple examples.

Use a cab in Singapore or anywhere in Japan and be amazed.

The "cabs are terrible" argument seems to me to be a very localized view.

Terrible cabs exist. So does fantastic service via the most efficient route by a driver who actually knows the city.
We are finding more and more proof the Chinese were trading with remote parts of Africa many centuries pre-rennaissance. Wouldn't be surprised if they got as far as North/South America.

The last voyage before they turned inward was more than 30,000 people on 3-400 ships on a trading mission. At that scale, seems like enough nautical knowledge to travel most of the globe.
Or, your friend should set the privacy on that photo (or all photos by default) so that only friends can see it. Edit: downvotes? dang, what'd I miss?
His mistake was friending his mom. I stopped this issue in it's tracks. Even before my parents got facebook accounts, I told them that I love them, but I'm not going to be facebook friends with them.
400 threads with a thread stack size of 8M means that 3.2GB of virtual address space needs to be committed, which suspiciously close to the usual limit on a 32 bit system.

If you want to create that many threads, you need to start by severely tuning down the stack size.
What makes dropbox special is that I can access it on my home iMac, my work macbook, my linux netbook, my android phone, my iPad and the web interface when I feel so inclined. On top of that, I select different directories to sync on each machine and often share file between friends and colleagues.

An uber simple interface that supported on every major platform is what makes it so awesome.
Seems like a great idea and I definitely see a need for something like this... but Venuetastic... really?
If it doesn't already exist, then you issue a compilation error. Better then than the way it works today, IMO.
I'd like to point out that this is a good time to really test your connection. I've never downloaded anything faster than a torrent of a fresh ubuntu release.
I think most of these things were actually on Unix/Linux first, just maybe not as pretty as on OS X.
What virtualization program are you running?

If you are using VirtualBox you can run apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils. You'll also need to enable 3D support under Settings > Display.
I really love Oracle's VirtualBox and use it daily for my dev environment.
That's an interesting point. If so, would it not be a little misguided?

I'd love to see some data one way or the other, but in my experience and among my friends and associates, people who buy Apple computers are incredibly likely to value the polished, "just works" factors of OS X and if they do care about being UNIX-like, it has them covered too. Then among those who run Linux as a primary OS, they do so without paying for the shiny Apple hardware. Again I stress this is a personal subset and I welcome it being corrected or confirmed by hard numbers.

At the same time, perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way:
If you have a goal of being the best desktop experience, then better to pit yourself against the best?
You cannot take any screenshot or any document or any piece of code from any company. This is common sense, in addition to probably being a copyright issue. I'm not sure why would anyone expect to be respected by their employer without following this rule.

I meant public as in "internally public".
It is for Synaptics drivers (some manufacturers like Dell, Razer, HP used to default to those) but not for precision touchpad drivers (what's used in the Surfaces).
How bad is memory latency? If this is really a 64TB address space you are going to need an insane cache hierarchy to make this fast unless they've made some scientific breakthrough and not shared it with the world.
I understand what Tesla is doing here. Outer shell manufacturing cost is very low. No paint, minimal bending process. Just laser cut the material and it is ready to be mounted. If you want to manufacture something in a low resource environment ( like Mars ) it might be the clever move.
Sounds post hoc. The virtualization products tend to be on regular, frequent release cycles. (I know one of the Fusion product manager.)
I was falling for that rhetoric. then I actually tried to do some high performance computing in Java. After a lot of optimizing (and going to non-idiomatic code), it was only x4 slower than the C code it was replacing. The initial "straightforward, idiomatic" code was x10-x50 slower, and taking x5 more memory (which caused it to be totally unusable, as the C code used 1GB of memory, and the machine only had 2).

The computation was really quite simple, but it had to be done a bajillion times. I suspect part of the reason that it was so slow is that the JIT was not inlining something it obviously should have. However, I was unable to find any tools that would help me figure out if that was the case or what the JIT was actually achieving (consulting with Java experts I know didn't give any insight or link to such tools).

If you're telling yourself that "java is good for hi-performance computing", you aren't really concerned with speed or memory.
What you're suggesting is that a user give a site their public key, receive some site-supplied data encrypted with their key, and be forced to decrypt it to log into the site? I guess that sounds fine, but it's no more or less secure than using a unique password, and again, now you need to carry your private key around everywhere that you want to log into anything, unless you plan on memorizing that sucker.

I suspect the real result of such a scheme is that everyone's private keys to everything would be sitting around unencrypted on USB drives and written on pieces of paper, so it would be even easier to steal their identities.

I think the solution is still -- use a password manager, and then it's easy to keep track of unique passwords across sites.
Well their call from trump was to convince them to do the right thing, when confirming Biden's presidency.

So that heavily implies that whatever their methods, the intention was to get them to ignore the democratic process and confirm trump instead
The last job offer that made me smile was for an AI / fullstack developper.
Aka the platypus of software dev.

The problem is pretty simple.
Let's say you are cutting-edge in all the technologies that make you very adaptable at time T.
You get hired.
You decide a stack A/B/C/... for your next project.
You get stuck in that project for ... let's say 3 years.
(a reasonable time for a project to reach production and have a few real-life iterations).
If you are not an assh... who leaves after 2 years (leaving the production/maintenance to others, i.e never having lived the "hell" of maintaining things for real), then you are 3 years-behind in all the technologies that are not in the A/B/C/... stack.

Now, at time T+3, you are ... the obsolete man [for TTZ fans only :)]
> Boeing booked over $22 BILLION in revenue from the US government.

Which, by the way, is totally not state support, especially if anyone from Airbus is within hearing distance...
I'm not saying his problem description was great, but it did become clear through the course of the article the additional constraints and assumptions that he was working under. He certainly never said "you're given an array of unknown objects, a comparison function, and no way to do arithmetic on your objects", and that first sentence you quoted doesn't contain enough information to translate directly into that interpretation (where did it say you get a comparison function, for instance?).
My goals are some what similar to yours. And this is how I do it:

1.) I found out that it's easier to impress people if you have some portfolio that's related to the job you are applying. So write code. Opensource projects or personal projects.

2.) Spend sometime doing #1. Say 6 months? You'll be surprised how much you'll learn in that very little period. I'm in this stage.

3.) Don't bother about how bad the code it for a while. Just write it. It should just work. Should just solve the problem it intends to solve. Doesn't matter if you write in php or ruby. It might even be a simple shell script that helps you setup Adobe AIR projects quickly (http://gist.github.com/306363)

4.) Show it off! Flaunt it everywhere. You'll be surprised how a simple application can be useful to people. ex: I found myself lazy to signup for an invoicing site to create invoices. I wrote http://billmebob.com It's dead simple. But I still see some people use it (a few regular users).

5.) Do variety. Write a shell script, android app, rails app, then hop to tryout Arduino... whatever... it's upto you. just remember _variety_

6.) Once you find out what you like at #5 get back to that and do similar things (say writing android apps).

7.) Stop reading this and write code.

P.S: $100 bet! Try this and you'll enjoy it :)
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty the Motorola Droid has vanilla Android installed.

Edit: This doesn't really address your complaint since 2 vanilla Android phones isn't really that much different than one, but just wanted make sure the Droid wasn't left out.
Impressive idea and implementation. I love that you're going for vi keybindings.

Lots of possibilities. You could add a popup that comes in when user presses ':' to allow macros.

I'd prefer it if you went with 'a' being to edit the current line, and puts the cursor at the end; 'i' to edit line with cursor at beginning, and to use 'o' for add-new-line-after-current line; 'O' to add the line before.

If you could turn this into a powerful text editor that would be really neat.

Another thing that might be useful is an authentication mechanism that tries to proof against the most obvious internet-cafe afflications (keyboard grabbers, that sort of thing).
I am happy that bool::then is stable. I can simplify quite some code by removing the `else { None }` branch
I'm not sure what they could do to prove it, given that this is a pseudonymous forum and also that they probably aren't interested in revealing too much about their contact.
Who would be operating that server? For how many people? With which privacy policy and which SLAs? Is it just one server (= centralisation and SPOF) or many servers?

The idea behind Snikket (as I understand it) is more along the lines of having a tech-savvy person in your environment who’ll set up a Snikket instance for you and where they all invite the folks important to them.

That means reduced centralisation while providing a lean user experience. The invites are (especially on android) super low-friction (you are presented with a nearly-complete signup after app install; you only have to enter a username (not a domain name, that’s included in the invite; just a username)).

Thanks to being federated with the entire XMPP ecosystem, it can still interoperate with users who are on Quicksy or any other XMPP service out there, which is nice.

I think an invite-based approach is a good middle-way to avoid encouraging centralisation (think matrix.org, jabber.org, or worse) and keeping the onboarding friction as low as possible.
"Online," being operative term. The demo showed a standard vulnerable web app whose back-end provided access to the corporate network, which had a network link to the HMI workstation, which controlled the PLCs that actuated the pumps. You didn't even need to do stuxnet level PLC code injection, you just logged in and worked the HMI.

Not sure what kind of filters protect against this kind of thing, but a pH sensor with an alarm might mitigate the family level risk somewhat.
only on hacker news could you get downvoted for asking legit questions and dumb answers by apologists...

This is what happens when a marketing company starts a cloud right? turns it into a loss leader and everyone who buys it becomes and apologist at all cost.

i don't get it.
The same could be argued for a Ponzi scheme: it is useful for the people at the top that have taken money from others, and not so useful for the people that have lost money by buying in later on.

The more interesting question is what value Bitcoin has created for society besides acting as a speculative good.
That's what they said. From the article: "They said that I interviewed extremely well, but that they decided to go with another candidate."
I was of a similar attitude to you until I tried and failed to get a decent cordless vacuum cleaner that has a proper wall holster (i.e. putting it in/out of the holster also plugs/unplugs the charger)

I went through several other brands (both well known and no-name things from china) and then returning them to amazon because they were either just crap at cleaning, and/or the wall holster was a glorified hook that required you to put it in the holster and then still plug it in too as a separate step.

I finally gave in and paid a little bit more for a dyson cordless stick vacuum and it has been really quite excellent and I cannot fault it. It always gets a lot more "out" of the carpets than our previous vacuum, and the usability of the wall holster means it is super-fast and easy to just grab and go without faffing with cables (vital for me with a small kid - we're vacuuming multiple times a day)
I haven't tried Budgie yet. I really like Elementary - a lovely design consistently implemented. Unfortunately (like you said for Budgie), I found it buggy enough that I eventually went back to standard Ubuntu. Might give it another try in a few years.
> Totally incorrect. The courts didn't and can't grant the States sovereignty. They were sovereign states before entering the union and they relinquished some of their sovereign powers by signing the constitution

The original 13 colonies, Vermont and Texas were all independent sovereign states before joining the United States as states. However, the other 35 states were federal territories to which Congress granted statehood. Whatever sovereignty they have was given to them by the United States Congress, acting under the United States Constitution, it did not in any way pre-exist the Constitution.

(Hawaii was an independent sovereign state before being annexed into a US territory after a US-backed coup; to the extent that the present state of Hawaii has "sovereignty", it is unclear what relationship that had to the sovereignty of the independent Kingdom of Hawaii.)
