That reminds me, Edward Teller said "von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us."
Any of these coins could have linked themselves to bitcoin. Ie. They could have issued coins at the start to all bitcoin holders.

If they did that, they'd get over the "we're not bitcoin" hurdle, assuming the tech was any good.
I'm dedicated to learning to recognize bottoms & tops. I successfully bought the bottom. Now only to successfully sell the top.
PCI x4 I wonder if it will be able to accommodate a GPU
The langugae you use suggests you beleive that people are entitled to health care as a service. Where do you derive this entitlement from? Honestly, what's wrong with illness and death? It's not something any of us can avoid indefinetly.
Did these marks even exist 2yrs ago? I know they didn't when I started using WhatsApp ages ago, but I don't recall when they were added...
Fair enough, I can accept it could be a difference in candidate pools or something. That said, I personally saw a bump from about 40% to 90% using different methods for what it’s worth.

In terms of a test I use mean, median, mode, and range for an array. Then go into basic performance trade offs.

Microsoft research published a paper on using aperiodic Wang tilings to generate textures.
Fair enough.
The companies I talked about didn't do this right from the start. Most of them after a few years.
It was my understanding that people have already extended emacs in the usual way to do lots, using llvm or clang, and that this argument is only about trying to do things that can make it into emacs proper. Is that not right?

History. RMS was worried that "someone" (basically, Intel) would be able to take the gcc frontend and attach the icc (very fast, proprietary) backend to it, thus creating a compiler which could compile the whole GNU stack, producing very fast code. This would entice people to use a non-free compiler.

Since then LLVM came along and made the whole point moot, since it has a modular front end which can parse all the gcc extensions.
We do something very similar & I'd love to get in touch if you'd be interested in discussing further. My email is in my profile if you'd be willing to reach out.
Has anyone written a Ruby extension in Rust yet? That would be very cool to see.
It's weird how these app fads go. I used to work for a company in Charleston, SC that has been doing live streaming for almost a year now (http://stre.am/). They got some press out of SXSW, but without a voice in the Si Valley echo chamber, I suspect they're going to get crowded out.
It is illegal, but the sole reason is the risk for israelis. In 2000 or 2001 (I don't remember exactly) two soldiers took a wrong turn and got into a palestinian village by mistake; they were literally torn to pieces by an angry mob. If the risk would be gone, these rules would be gone too.

Still, I have a couple of friends who travelled to the territories illegally, with help from their local friends — just for sightseeing. Personally, I think that they were being reckless and stupid, but it's certainly not unheard of.
One thread about this from 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11077147. I feel like there were others at the time.

p.s.: if you're going to comment, please steer clear of the black hole of ideological battle. It's predictable, therefore boring, therefore off topic. Whatever is of interest is in the specific story.
This is my biggest gripe with Scala as well. I'm sure it's a great language, but I've often seen it used to add complexity where none is necessary. It's abused to give developers a sense of accomplishment and intellectual superiority.

In fact, in one project my former employer was involved in, one main reason they picked Scala was to, on the one hand, weed out the chaff from their existing team of .net developers (in a "shape up or ship out" kind of fashion), and on the other to weed out the 95% of mediocre Java developers.
If a website had me jumping through too many hoops, I just don't bother. Many websites refuse to work without an egregious amount of third party JavaScript which makes it a pain in the ass to visit if you use uBlock Origin/uMatrix.

Let's be honest most of the websites that won't work without JavaScript aren't even really worth it. The content is usually garbage anyway.
Mobile issues when you don't want the reddit app:

1) no "this subreddit is only available via the app" walls

2) subreddit search functionality that doesn't require jumping through hoops to execute

3) no comment reading limitations (again a push for the app)

I'm sure there's more, but these are the things that pop to mind instantly
This is dumb. Are we really willing to slow down the vaccine distribution because we're afraid some trivial amount might not be distributed in the correct order?

The question should not be "why did he give the doses to people he knows?", it should be "why were there even doses available for him to do this with?". Someone failed to make sure every available dose of a highly demanded vaccine had a patient. That is the real problem and it likely has nothing to do with this doctor.

It's a shame the article doesn't name the hospital he worked for because it looks like they're using him as a scapegoat for their own failings.
The 3G thing is extremely common. Even with HUGE suppliers. Including Siemens Energy. Their steam turbine systems come with a 3g connection as standard. I even think they won't do 24h/7d support without it.
This is a complex issue. Ideally we would have a much better organized rollout avoiding these scenarios. I don't think we ever want individual physicians using their own contacts list to find candidates regardless of good intention, it just opens the door up too much abuse. I don't think the penalty matches the crime, certainly not a criminal prosecution.
Isn't the parent stating too many people are doing exactly what you're proposing, which is protesting that services are being provided to people who don't deserve it?

(Separating children into deserving and undeserving categories of educational attention seems that way to me...)
It is most notable in Inkscape.

It boots fast, but many menu's and buttons will stall for seconds or longer while fonts are being loaded. There may be an issue for this in some bugtracker, I have not checked this yet.
> If a library needs access to a remote service, you have to open the socket yourself and pass that in, and the library then needs to plumb it through the whole stack manually to the point where it's needed.

You don't need to do this. There are a variety of ways to handle this, just as you would any other kind of dependency injection:

1. Design libraries to actually be modular so that dependencies (including capabilities) can be injected just where they are needed.

2. Pass in a factory object that lets the library construct sockets as and when it needs them. You can then enforce any arbitrary checks at the point of creating the socket. (This is much more flexible than a Java policy file).

3. Use a powerbox pattern [1] to allow the user to be directly asked each time the library attempts to open a socket. This is not always good UX, but sometimes it is the right solution.

> If the library develops a need for a new permission then the API must change and again, the whole thing has to be manually plumbed through.

Capturing permission requirements in the API is a good thing! With the stack walking/policy based approach I won't know the library needs a new permission until some library call suddenly fails at runtime.

bad ass super ninja in our 5+ year old company of 9+ ninjas

This is really bad, I don't think I have seen a post more self absorbed than this one. Instead of worrying about their l33t skillz maybe they should think about the fact that their are few web problem domains that require l33t hello words and actually require more creativity, they are going to get more bang for their buck by getting a decent programmer that is creative than one that knows every detail of some obscure language feature, their looking for skills in the wrong problem domain. These are the kind of job posts that make programmers look like self absorbed individuals. I don't think it is a stretch to say that post like this immediate eliminate the poster from consideration by the best of the best. I used to be one of those guys, you know a ninja-rockstar-asshat-knowitall, then I worked with a team of guys that formed out of MIT. After a few weeks with them I realized what a tool I was, so did they. I was good, so where they, difference is I was the one with an ego they where not. I learned a lot from those guys, the most important thing I learned was a group of guys with no egos can accomplish amazing things.
PHP is a scripting language and Django is a python web framework. PHP to Python would make more sense.
From the practical point of view:

wouldn't it be the easiest to make a TV entertainment series that would play in a nuclear apocalyptic scenario and include 60-ish style warnings of what to do when you see a mushroom?

Maybe something fallout style? This would not make anyone panic, as it's entertainment, but the message would go into subconsciousness to most.
This could be really useful. My university campus for example, is shown in much greater detail on OSM.
Real and open market valuations in a market that is semi-real and definitely not open

ie. you have investors making investments with no reporting, analysis and imperfect information but the prices are not discounted because of the imperfect information.
The graph on the article is misleading. Show me trending for the last 5 or 10 years. The number of exits over the past two is a completely irrelevant metric because all sorts of investors were squeezed shortly after the recession started.

Calling internet startups a bubble in the same breath as the housing market bubble is doing a disservice to the readers. Every single American was seeing housing prices soar. All sorts of people were borrowing 100k against their new found home equity to "invest" in their home, despite the fact that homes have no revenue, while the majority internet companies do.

Most people running startups in the community I'm most active in (Toronto) have revenue. For example: dateideas.ca is only 6 months old and they have revenue, guestlistapp.com has been out of beta for about half a year (launched a year before that) and they have fairly substantial traction, then you have the bulk-ward of the Toronto tech scene, freshbooks.com, with over 2 million users and a solid business model. Just look at their hiring page, 22 positions listed for a 50 person company.

There is a huge difference between building valuations based on a solid business model and changing public trends (ie, more people getting on/trusting the internet), and building valuations on selling ponzi scheme debt that overvalue non-revenue generating assets like housing. The same article could have been written about clothing manufacturing in England just after the industrial revolution started.
Thanks for the Calculus Made Easy reference. It's here, to save anyone googling. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/33283/33283-pdf.pdf

The prologue is great:

"Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a diffi cult or a tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks.

Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously diffi cult. The fools who write the textbooks of advanced mathematics (and they are mostly clever fools) seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the easy calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most diffi cult way.

Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I have had to unteach myself the diffi culties, and now beg to present to my fellow fools the parts that are not hard. Master these thoroughly, and the rest will follow. What one fool can do, another can."

Poverty = recruiting base for violent organizations

Poor state = lack of security (under-funded police or over-burdened courts for example)

Prohibition = creates market incentives for violence and coercion

These reasons are 100% why economic intervention should always be answer #1 to violence and crime. Not more warfare or tough justice.

I'd even take this position beyond the war on drugs and apply it to the war on terrorism as well. As we saw in Afghanistan, what good was spending trillions on war when we leave them with a non-existent economy or infrastructure? The only massive industry there is now opium and funds are going straight to the adversary.

Same with the American drug war. Thousands of impoverished kids with their fathers dead or in jail on drug charges, no long-term career possibilities except an extremely accessible job market built on violence.

I'm not promoting pacifism, security is essential. But social/market liberalism, combined with creating economic support infrastructure, and investing in a strong legal systems against corruption (so it doesnt end up like Africa).

The only way practical justification for more war/justice is via some emotional gratification of getting 'revenge' on some unsavory class of people in society by the controlling class. Because how could the goal really be to minimize or stop the problem when the failures of that strategy are so obvious to anyone who spends a moment critically analyzing the history of it?
Its pretty much the same reason why most people buy houses that are already built and renovated vs. building it themselves from a single empty plot of land.

It's far more of a sure thing that you can move into immediately vs. possibly not move into at all. You can choose an potential employee to train who may not 'just get it' for a cost far higher than hiring the experienced guy would cost. It's like building a house with cost overruns that your construction loan won't cover anymore and you cant get any more money. You end with a huge useless debt that YOU have to pay now and a useless half-finished house that most people don't want to buy.

Also when you train employees, you get these retention contracts that can create a perverse incentive for and employee to take advantage of or a deal as an employee that you wouldn't want to take, because you'd have to pay for a training cost subject to the whims of an employer firing you.

That's pretty much how Drools works as well. :)

I'm going to guess that the rools gem was inspired by Drools, since the Drools project is much older.
My experience in the aerospace/defense industry suggests that this isn't really practical. Organizations that make aircraft and rockets and weapons tend to be incredibly conservative: they don't really innovate much. They have incredibly risk averse institutional cultures...no one wants to be the guy that decided to launch Challenger.

I know of one aerospace company that occasionally has its rockets explode on the launchpad because they use battery designs from the 1970s that are known to explode with fairly high probability. They could easily get much cheaper much more reliable batteries with more modern designs but they don't because the exploding batteries "have flight heritage". This particular aerospace company is considered agile and nimble and innovative compared to its competitors.
Is it the UK?
OK, below is my honest, if a bit blunt, opinion.

You're not a rocket scientist, your skillset as described won't make a difference for Israel (?) military power. Either go for it and enjoy your pay, or if you have your principles, don't go for it and try finding a boring civilian job as all other non-rocket-scientists do . But the drama, it's not there.
AGPL is always good for misunderstandings and flame wars. Nice show. ;-)
I actually really enjoy living with other people. Instant everyday socializing. YMMV, of course.
It's only the third date library in the standard java runtime, maybe they will get it right this time :P
You won't find many "cam girls" from the wealthy western countries.

Which tells you everything you need to know about this kind of dirty work.
The big guys have too many layers of staff between the security guys and reality from experience.
Counterpoint: build useless features.

Sometimes your CEO doesn't completely trust the development team. Sometimes the client wants to make sure the vendor really values them. Sometimes the head of sales decides to take a punt on something that has a small chance of a big impact.

As a development team, the best thing you can do in each of these cases is to build the useless feature. Build it properly, but build it with a minimum of effort, and be ready to retire it and delete the code when it turns out to be useless.

Earn the CEO's trust. Reassure the client. Throw the dice. There are payoffs to work other than value for the end user.
I expect a Hollywood movie romanticizing the Taliban soon enough then.
Okay I don't think you're GPT3 anymore

That's weird though. Don't smoke Tylenol, man.
This is what a union is for. People who think companies can't afford this are
1. Unaware of how much they skim at the top
2. Unaware of how many companies exist that don't deserve to.
I mean good for you, just remember that throughout history supplements have more often seemed to have caused more problems than otherwise. Including the fact that most large scale studies show people taking vitamins dying faster than otherwise.

Also how are you absolutely sure cholines making you remember better?
Modern machine can do TLB and L1 lookup in parallel. Here is how it works on a traditional CPU (it is different on M1).

The page size is 4kb. This means the lower 12 bits of an address is the same between logical and physical addresses.
The cache line is 64 bytes. The lower 6 bits of the address are indexing within a cache line.
The L1 is 8 way associative so the other 6 bits addresses 8 cache lines in the L1.
This makes 64*8 cache lines of 64 bytes => 32k of L1 cache.

The CPU does a lookup in TLB and a lookup in L1 in parallel, and gets 8 cache lines from the L1, which are filtered by the results in the TLB to hopefully get a hit.

Now you'll note that, while most CPU have 32k of L1, the M1 has 128k, which means it needs 2 extra bits to match between physical and logical addresses to pull the same trick. And what do you know, M1 has 16k pages! What a coincidence (not!).
... but with a customizable/composed view of any combination of folders present on the client filesystem.

And other processes on the remote system can't look into your mounts.
That's avoided by not allowing more than three consecutive characters from the old password to be in the new password. It gets really annoying, trust me.
Yes. Showing a face (or to a lesser degree) demands MUCH more attention that text and simple graphics.
Nah, I think the socializing aspect will outweigh the lack of privacy.
That is going to be a crazy new world. But, if nothing is private, I doubt privacy will matter all that much. Just look at stone age tribes. Not a lot of privacy there, and people don't really care.

Maybe privacy is just a construct of modernized society?
Reductio ad absurdum: you'd prefer to have Hitler over that kid-who-looks-like-they-might-be-a-bully down the street.

To both points: I respectfully disagree. We know very little about either, but FB has proven it cannot be trusted. Google has been pretty good so far, it's just a potential-looming-menace to Facebook's outright menace.
There's more to explain than that.

Young reader, you may know the Beatles as a teeniebopper boy band. You've probably seen old videos of them playing sappy pop like "I Want To Hold Your Hand" to crowds of fainting 14 year old girls.

What you may not realize is that they turned into an experimental band that really pushed the envelope of their day, in a way we almost never get to see in mainstream pop music today. (Sadly, almost all the boundary-pushing today is on the indie fringes - great stuff but only heard by people who seek it out)

To try and make an illustration using more contemporary pop acts, imagine if The Backstreet Boys turned into Radiohead and were the ones putting out albums like OK Computer and Kid A. That's kind of like the progression the Beatles took.

Skip the early albums and grab a copy of Revolver.
1. Google currently get fairly guaranteed income from its search. Facebook hasn't reached that level yet.

2. Having some people online more chatting might make some other people actually want to be online less. I'm happy that no one ever pops a Facebook on me. For a number of friends, Facebook as close as I want or need to be much of the time.
Flights from TLV are minimum hundreds of dollars to Europe, over a thousand to virtually anywhere else. So $76 (or $38) per passenger isn't a huge factor, compared to domestic-heavy bargain-biased U.S. airports. (Source: http://www.kayak.com/explore/#/TLV?a=any&d=any&fb=90..., which only shows one domestic choice, TLV to Eilat for $90 minimum)
Did you order from Amazon? Because it's on preorder over there.
Of course there are plenty of clueful angels/vcs/analysts/bankers/traders/hedge fund operators. Just like there are programmers that are qualified to pick good startups. The stereotypes and generalities are a bit ridiculous, which I was trying to (and I think you helped) illustrate.
I agree, as a novel it's frustrating at best. I usually give science fiction a pass on plot and characters if the ideas are good. The science is generally sound, the ideas (especially the terraforming techniques) are very interesting, and the descriptions of the Martian topography help anchor the planet in reality in a way that maps or even the rover images can't.
If you want to do this in node you should use something like http://github.com/marak/webservice.js instead.

It's the same principle but with more features, more development, and test coverage.

I'd like to go on the record and say that while it's also possible that the winters will be milder in some locations, one shouldn't rule out the possibility that winter will be just about the same as it was last year in other locations.
I think "lean startup" has moved into a close second behind "social media expert" as my most hated phrase.
Dropbox has the advantage of being the go-to solution for crossplatform developers. If I write a native app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone and OS X and Windows and want the data easily portable across all of them Dropbox is the obvious solution.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I have a way better understanding of what Zencoder does after I read that article (we upload your videos ten times as fast as the old system you've been using) than I did from looking at Zencoder's homepage four times over the past month or so.
