2.4GHz channels are another of the many many regrettable paper cut things with WiFi. I have a 2.4 only gadget that the manufacturer ships with the narrowest regulatory settings so they can sell one SKU and it can't use channel 12 that is available almost everywhere but the US.
I'm afraid "right-wing" is too ambitious term in this context.
But you also saw police officers in demonstrations of solidarity (either photo-ops or sincere).

I think if you compare a single event with a large number of different events, you’ll find examples where one is worse by some measure and others where one is better. I don’t really want to comment on the recent events or the validity of the argument (or it’s spirit), but I think it probably isn’t reasonable to compare a single event with the aggregate of many different events.
But that's not what he's saying. He's not making any sort of transition or explanation for why people should go home. It's clearly tacked on afterwards, and the protestors know it. Then they can blame it on "the deep state." He's sandwiching go home with two statements legitimizing what the protestors are doing.

I agree with Linus. C++ is too complex and overengineered, and taking in contributions in it for something like git, is a recipe for disaster.

However, C in all its simplicity already has its potential for abuse. Macros can go very bad. Very bad. (Just look at openSSL).

It is also not difficult to abuse the left-right rule in pointer arithmetic: *x->a->c=5. It can easily become incomprehensible.

We did not need C++. We needed a way to further simplify C.

Only _some_ aspects and activities of government are criminal.

We still need someone to build roads and make sure the water stays clean. Arguably, we also need an education system, an oversight of healthcare, a social safety net system and many other things. Working in these capacities helps society in general, and everyday citizens to have better lives.

There are way too many ineffective people in bloated bureaucratic stasis managing these things at the moment, and very much poor and overpriced execution which costs all of us in terms of services received and increased tax burden.

Helping to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of these socially important tasks is a very worthwhile use of work time and is not "working for criminals", as the recipients of this work are the citizens of the country.
My understanding is actually the opposite. While DuckDuckGo does have a small index of their own, they mainly rely on api calls to Yandex and Yahoo BOSS!

I'm in DC, but happy to chat.
Honestly, 8/16b ints in C and C++ are just a minefield of problems.

Here's a snippet from an open source 8051 simulator that I was debugging today:

if( ((RAM[ACC] & 0xF0) >> 4) > 9 ||
GetBit(RAM[PSW], CY) == 0x01 ) {
tempAdd = RAM[ACC] + 0x60;
RAM[ACC] = tempAdd;
if( ((unsigned char*)&tempAdd)[1] != 0 ) {
SetBit(RAM[PSW], CY);
}
}

The code is supposed to set the carry flag when RAM[ACC] + 0x60 overflows into two bytes. Can you spot the bug? It involves my favorite C++ feature: implicit conversions, and my second favorite feature: signed chars.

The bug is that when RAM[ACC] is something like 0xFF, it gets cast to (int) -1 so the the upper byte and hence the carry flag never get set.

I predict there's lots more more evil that can milked from this fount.
Despite being relatively early and ad hoc, Khan academy got it mostly right: don't just tape someone giving a lecture; give a close up of the instructor writing out the logical profession of ideas. In a classroom, it's too hard to do it fast enough; they either have to write very little, or use static slides. Khan wisely used the virtual whiteboard, in effect, to accelerate the writing speed while having infinite space and instant jump-around.

I still prefer the mostly-webpages approach, but Khan definitely did a lot more to make use of the format than "dump a camcorder in a lecture hall".
That reply reads disparaging, perhaps implying that the author needs to spend more time designing. But that's not necessarily true! Have you ever changed your code to work around a bug in some version of a web browser, or compiler? If so, you discovered a limitation of TDD as it relates to components outside your control.

Saying that "no methodology can solve this" is defeatist: there are lots of things you can do. One technique is to write your tests to use the actual component, instead of mocks. For example, I never mock the filesystem: I always design tests to run using the real thing. This reduces the chances that I've encoded some bogus assumption into my tests, and makes it more likely that I'll encounter the individual quirks of the filesystem.
That does not explain away others who would relish the idea of setting up an electric only dealership. He is using an pretty damn thin excuse to not allow others to sell the cars. Sorry, but there are many other like minded individuals who would very much sell the cars the way he wants, they may even improve on the methods.

Local dealers for electrics would provide the benefit of tighter integration with supporting businesses, from those who install the requisite plugs at homes, to marketing the need of stations to employers so that their employees can charge up at work. There are many many benefits to having local, private dealers.

I'm still on the public Yosemite beta program. Their current beta update broke the Wi-Fi on identical MacBooks again, so I've held off on upgrading.

Imagine that happening at Apple HQ.

On the same topic, I heartily recommend iOS folk with external BT keyboards try turning on Airplane mode with the keyboard on and then fiddling with the home button.

For me, it sometimes pops up the "secure" (black) on-screen keyboard WITH MY LAST PASSWORD AS A SUGGESTION.

I'd love to know if that's common to everyone with the latest iOS public release.
> Proof of stake is a good example.

Except when the creators want to rerverse all txs and exit scam people that is, hence Ethereum/Classic/DAO BS saga...

Proof of stake is like saying 'a square tire works, sometimes...'

As an environmentalist and a Bitcoiner: I agree Bitcoins energy use is significant, but it's carbon footprint is the detail that is being ignored as most of its energy sources are renewable and Jack Dorsey, the guy whose company just bought another 150 million, has also put a bounty on making it even more clean.

Whereas nothing in the alt space comes close doing what Bitcoin did back in 2013 when China started to move its miners to mainly hydro and to Iceland that use geo-thermal, despite these alts absurd overly valued market cap and valuations that make no sense to anyone given it's lack of utility.

We may be on 'Team crypto,' but PoS is so absurd for security that it should be made clear to the non-initiated the many pitflls of centralized system, eg the Foundation and founders like Vitalik, that we all fought so hard to solve with this tech only to see so many projects revert to the same legacy model.
>Nancy Pelosi told fellow House Democrats that she had received reassurances about safeguards to prevent Donald Trump from launching a nuclear attack

Maybe this is too political or HN, but this is the bigger news on that page. It tells me we don't have a functioning chain of command and our government is currently responding to a hard coup attempt with a soft coup which is also pretty scary. Trump should either be removed through the 25th amendment or he should be president with all its power and responsibility. Putting "safeguards" in place so no one really knows who is in charge can be dangerous. Hopefully nothing too serious happens in the next week and a half.

EDIT: To be clear and to address the multiple replies, I am not a Trump fan or a supporter of nuclear weapons or anything along those lines. The problem here is that there needs to be a clear chain of command in case of an actual emergency. People being insubordinate to the president and taking on power that they do not constitutionally could be extremely dangerous in an emergency. The unelected bureaucrats of the government shouldn't be the ones making these decisions.

More like, it's completely at odds with the BIS and their private reserve bank international monetary system. If bitcoin manages to disrupt that, hoo boy will we be living interesting times then.
How does he know nobody will buy the Android app? I barely use any free apps other than the ones that come with Cyanogen Mod.

Titanium Backup? Paid. ROM Manager? Paid. Treking? Paid. Android IRC? Paid. X-Plane? Paid.

Android users have no problems paying for apps. Non-Android developers are afraid of the unknown.
It'd work alright. Do you think you'd target Joe_Blow_1374 ?

Nope.

You'd target Actors/Actresses, Politicians, CXOs, and other influential people, and their families. When those people hurt, they WILL do something. Sometimes, that something could be changing the law, or using the law as a nice pointy stick.
Not true that Killerstartups.com is Startups... they are different sites.

At first I thought Killerstartups was changing it's domain to Startups.com, which would be interesting - they are one of the companies that got severely penalized during the most recent Google algo changes:

Eclipse platform is a good example of this problem. Ever since the resource perspective stopped being the default, things have been headed down an uncertain path.

Why can't there be a true core, that has some chance of being 'finished' at some point?
I think that's the point being made here.

Access to extra bandwidth everywhere, all the time, could be a commons for all of us, with the appropriate legal and software protections.

Thanks for sharing, I got a good chuckle out of it.
Some “finger print” tech doesn’t use actual prints, but the deeper layout of the capillaries that can’t be easily observed. I believe Apple uses this on their devices that support “fingerprint” auth.
There are obviously dedicated accounts that intelligence services and the military keep for covering costs associated to espionage and counterespionage.

I wonder what kind of cost-benefit analysis and financial projections are done in considering the value of assets and espionage operations? Do you think they model for outcomes?

John Carlos Baez has rode a really interesting blog series on network operads and process calculus, is the basis for multi agent modeling for complex military tactical scenario modeling and contingency planning. I wonder what the models would look like for evaluating intelligence assets?

Is there any evidence that the issue at hand is anything more than just customer service though? I don’t see any mention of actual CA issues (ie following proper issuance policies, etc)

And to be fair, when it comes to shit customer service Google would look at Symantec, laugh and say “hold my beer”.
"based on the similarity of their tasks"

no thank you.
Philosophically, Onecoin plagiarized so much from early bitcoin (ie., "bank the unbanked," "take money away from the banking structures & Govt.'s," etc).

Victims had mostly no tech background, whatsoever, and had been told that "decentralized" meant crime and anonymity, which they perceived as a bad thing which Onecoin's "centralized model" prevented.

They didn't know the usefulness or cruciality of even a block explorer.

So, for some, there were "fundamental reasons" for a cryptocurrency (sic) like Onecoin, in addition to the speculative nature of (real) cryptos, in general.
That's my point, what is the definition of "wall street". If you're going to include main shareholders or CIOs, why not throw in Zuckerberg, Bezos, Brin, Page, Schmidt, etc on the tech side?
We've never banned people for "daring to criticize $bigco". That's half of HN. If we banned you, it was likely because there was something else abusive about your posts.
Wow. I'm unsure whether I should be impressed or horrified. I've added the link to the article, thank you.
You can get 100TB/month for under €100 on Leaseweb. Couldn't you raise this in donations each month?

Hi Chris!

Thanks for the new release. Is it possible to reopen the open files from the previous session on startup? I find myself frustrated with having to look at the welcome screen instead of getting what I was working on in my previous session. It's also a bit annoying to reopen all the files at the beginning of each session. Am I missing something?

I'd like to make PlunderCoin, basically the network sits computing EC public keys for all possible private keys and when it runs into a Bitcoin/ETH wallet with money in it, that gets liquidated and distributed to PlunderCoin holders.
That might actually become a thing, doesn't seem too farfetched.

Would require high conviction by the first participants.
A government can ask the ISPs to shutdown the internet. That is what Myanmar military did recently and apparently it has been happening often in Africa. What if ISPs won't shutdown the internet? Is there any changes that can be done to support free flow of information?
Does anyone know if these types of keys and/or protocols can be made to work without a full USB bus? I'd love to have this kind of functionality in embedded systems, without running an OS.
There is something different this time.

People en masse have started using the S&P 500 and other index funds as a long term store of value. Large amounts of money buy these stocks every pay period with zero regard to performance or current market conditions.

As far as I'm aware, this has never happened before. We don't know how this experiment will change the market long term or whether it will eventually collapse.

It has actually improved, I think. They used to label weird little water features even at fairly zoomed out levels. You'd see a map of some state and see "Level Ditch #4" in the middle of Oregon or Idaho or something.

Incidentally, I think Google Maps is one of the coolest things ever... I used to love to look at USGS quad maps as a kid, and now I get something that is 80% as good for pretty much the entire world. How cool is that...
Compiled from hiking maps? In places like Egypt, his first example? My guess is that there aren't a great deal of hiking maps for the Sahara desert...

They're compiled, I think, from whatever they can get their hands on. It's interesting to see borders, for instance, where there is clearly a difference in the data available. Switzerland, for instance, seems to have really good data:

The Wired article claims that the average render time is seven hours per frame: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/05/process_pixar/all/1

Assuming a single machine (which is obviously not true, but I can't find any details about the size of the render farm), that'd mean the entire film would take something like two hundred and thirty seven years to render.

Also, note that the WSJ article you linked to is talking about Toy Story 3D which is a re-rendering of the original film in stereoscopic 3D.
You can have your app continue to run for up to 10 minutes after it's been closed, so it should be possible to use that time to keep your connection open. If no one has contacted you in 10 minutes then chances are they wont in the next 10 either so it would be better to switch to push notification and let the phone manage notifications.

Keeping SSH or IM connections open is an action of a well known use for servers; listening for updates. And that's covered in the API.

Which brings up something I was wondering about. BP is compensating Americans. Are they compensating Mexicans, Guatemalans, etc...
Yes, this. I've often advocated for the importance of having a good debugger when developing any kind of UI, game, or simulation code. It can be really damned hard to make sense out of subtle bugs that are the result of accumulated state, using log messages alone. When I was writing games in C++, I routinely would just keep the game running in a debugger all the time, so I could break and inspect whenever anything got weird (which could often be difficult to reproduce). I'm writing server code in Go in my day job, and I agree that it's simply a different beast, and doesn't bother me as much.

With respect to the issue brought up elsewhere about debuggers and goroutines, I don't believe it would be as much of an issue with games. In practice, I only have a handful of fixed goroutines -- simulation, rendering, network, etc -- and am only debugging one of them at a time.
Looks useful! Could you provide an example of a field with validations depending on the value (or validation status) of another field?

E.g., birth_month required if birth_year is set and after a certain year.

The good part about npm is that if you run it as `sudo` it will de-authenticate when it's running any script in it's package files. So at least those won't be run with sudo permission.

The JVM also has probably the most man-years of effort into GC optimization. One thing the CLR has going for it is value types, which make arrays-of-struct possible (instead of arrays-of-refs-to-objects). I assume Go supports this too.
Computing could be dangerous.
This article sounds a lot like the way that records are implemented for Scala (in Shapeless), which is a language that meets all your other criteria :P.

What exactly is the story of LO as regards Excel: do they want to emulate Excel's VBA, or do they have a different framework in place(for example using python)?
It doesn't presuppose that the killing is right. It's asking the child to formulate a speech as if they were a PM justifying it.

Understanding how public figures use language to justify their actions is a very useful skill. Being able to use language persuasively is also a very useful skill.

And it's common practice in these types of exercise to use either scenarios that are difficult to argue or to argue both sides.
Hmm, what would you suggest?
Exactly 6 months from today is last day of US Memorial Day holiday weekend. Lots of camping areas in the US require reservations within 6 months, making the today and the next few months the best days to get a reservation for popular summer US camping areas. Also note, recreation.gov is only for US Federal parks, many state and local parks will their own websites, apps or other systems for making reservations.

I am currently building a peer to peer finance platform and I have had the opportunity to talk to a large number of market participants. We are in the honeymoon phase of peer to peer finance (crowdfunding/crowdinvesting) where investors are simply excited to have access to investments that were impossible at the minimum invested dollars offered today.

In order for the market to expand beyond early adopters, platforms will need to focus on providing transparency, risk controls and most importantly removing moral hazard where possible.

Moral hazard is the biggest issue right now as investors in most crowdfunded transactions have highly divergent financial goals from the people they are investing money in and the platforms facilitating those investments.

Solving that issue will be the biggest challenge for the industry and the one that I believe will really help it grow beyond the early adopters.

I mainly know OO through Python. I had a Java programmer try and explain why Dependency Injection frameworks were great and I went off and googled around and there are a few for Python.
