Surely the poor people you are not seeing in Europe are mostly in developing countries in Africa and Asia, not in the US, right?

But yes, I can imagine a big part of the puzzle of why Americans put up with the way things are is that above a certain level of wealth (top ~30%?) you don't have to suffer for lack of stuff you'd otherwise get from public services in Europe (or in Canada, Australia, etc).
Yea, I guess that works. Not sure of what the canonical definition of living off the grid is, but I always pictured it as complete isolation and separation from all grids, not just power. But seems like that might not be right.
I imagine it would be like if your native language was English, but learning to read and write would all be in Cantonese instead.
The author has a comment here describing what that would take: https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA/issues/17#issuecomment-735403....

tl;dr: someone would need to re-implement cuDNN
I first met ECS when modding an RTS called Tiberian Sun. The units were all defined in ini files and you specified the components for each unit eg the difference between a building and a moving piece was whether there was a movement component etc. And a small but vibrant modding community grew up around it.

Everything was dynamic, read from data definitions when the game loaded.

One downside to godot’s inheritance is everything is set up in code and decided at compile time instead?
Came here to write exactly this. Berkshire is special
Not sure this aged like you think it would:

> Or rather, what most people in the industry pretend doesn't exist, because they know it's a systemic risk and everyone's in way too deep at this point.

Are you referring to the NYAG here?
In other news, the most popular car is also the most stolen one.

I'm not trying to draw a comparison between piracy and theft, but is this article telling us anything other than popular things are, well, popular?
I'm not a rocket scientist and you seem to be very knowledgeable. However, I feel like you are overstating the problems and should drink some of that "homo faber can do anything he/she wants" cool aid. ;-)

I mean, "psychology of isolation" come on! People have been in super tiny submarines for months, while water bombs are exploding around them all night long. And thats at least two generations ago.

I doubt that von Braun and co. had solved all the problems for flying to the moon, when Kennedy set the goal. I have no doubts that they would have put a man on Mars soon after, had the program continued. When the Saturn V was retired, humanity was put four decades back - and counting. Its only a question of will. Do we want to have nicer cars or advance the frontier of humanity?
It is somewhat weird to be doing this on a post pointing at your own site, but still, this is a double dupe: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2025810 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2013777 .. yes, being a responsible HN user wins over more pageviews for me this time (!)

Nonetheless, good luck in the contest if you choose to enter, folks.
No, and neither do I. One of my favorite chain places that I eat at all the time is Jimmy Johns. They have awesome sandwiches. I always joke with my friends that, if they like subway, they should definitely not go to JJ because they're never going to be able to eat it ever again.

What I was getting at is that a crappy website can sometimes be a good indicator for places like the little deli that I go to sometimes, or my neighborhood bar. If the little deli (called cheese and stuff, for you Phoenicians: http://www.cheesenstuffdeli.com/) had a "good" website, it would seem out of character to me.
I can't say whether pirating media will lose or gain money for the studios/producers/etc. but I know one thing for sure. You are not entitled to that media and if you don't like the methods in which these studios provide it then your only legal option is to not consume it. I'm over peoples use of the same tired excuses to justify piracy.
Anytime you see free and unlimited it is most likely a lie.

Absolutely with all the small players.

But even the big players as we see here.
If it is the "best job in the world," then by definition you would be happy to do it

No. Somebody could, in a logically consistent way, be unhappy when doing absolutely any job.
By that logic we own all of europe.
I have taken a look (and read the article about it). I'm not sure I agree that this should stop you using it. Its like saying you shouldn't use Rails because there is deep magic going on.
Boy, game developers hate real languages.
Who is 'us'?
Which is probably just clever marketing by Apple. Doesn't it always depend on how far away from your eyes you hold the phone?
If I have to start reading Heidegger again just to understand what my database is doing I will be seriously freaked out.

I am fairly sure that Jaques Derrida is an alias for __why_the_lucky_stiff.
Chances are, by the time any of the plans are declassified it'll be because it's completely irrelevant to the current situation, which will be a very long time from now.

If you're truly curious, Wikipedia has an article on War Plan Red: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red
What amuses me is that before the iPhone 4, iPhone users insisted that the iPhone resolution is perfect and no higher resolution was necessary. Now suddenly they would never ever consider buying a phone with less resolution.
Dvorak says a lot of things though. He said the iPhone was going to bomb.
Unless all they do is capture the flow of every handshake in a huge database. Then they can use that for targeted decryption or other forms of prioritized targeting. The NSA program is called Longhaul. Watch the talk Appelbaum gave at CCC very recently.
Plus no one will complain if the fee shows up as lower but there will be howls if it is larger.
He's unhappy that it looks like the company may just collapse under their feet.
The only thing we should be alarmed about is people taking those after-the-fact explanations as being anything more than confabulations, because then people might think they actually understand the world, which is a dangerous conceit at the best of times.

After-the-fact explanations have almost zero epistemic value. They create no understanding, only a feeling of understanding. Look at the financial press for endless examples of this.
A few years ago when being a foodie was all the rage, my friends would upload tons of pictures of exquisite meals from expensive restaurants.

It inspired me to create a food blog on facebook. Every week I would upload something tacky and anti-yuppy. My posts included Choco Tacos, Wendy's hamburgers, and cups of ramen.

Now I'm thinking of posting my experiences at the grocery story, Home Depot, etc.
Yes, I am guilty of writing the post for an audience already largely familiar with the context.

I should probably add that the types of "explanations" I put forward in this post are actually not of central concern to me - certainly not explanations derived solely from parsing quantitative results. I'm far more interested in the descriptive evidence this kind of measurement can provide. It can give wider context to what tends to be a very case-study-centric discipline (e.g. oh, this guy happened to work a lot with Italian publishers in this period? We didn't realize it before just looking at 5-10 artists per article/monograph, but actually that is quite exceptional/normal for this period...)

Then again, proposing these kinds of explanations is also something of a disciplinary norm, for better or worse.
You don't check for every record in your database, you create a regex (or multiple regexes) which matches the patterns you don't want leaked. This is how I've seen Data Loss Prevention done in the Sophos UTM.

Yes, if even the simplest obfuscation technique is employed, this system falls flat on its face. (Shh don't tell the regulators)
I just don't understand why java is not better embraced or more widely adopted amongst the startup community.

Because other languages are faster for rapid prototyping.
Not necessarily. It could also mean that people put in different levels of effort, and this determines their income.

At the bottom it is certainly true - the poor barely put in any effort at all. http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpswp2008.pdf
A long time ago, scaffolding consisted of adding "scaffold" to your model definition and it would start serving up that data with the default scaffold views. Obviously that's not very desirable, so that's been removed and now the way to scaffold generates code that you can look at it, edit it, etc. "rails generate scaffold post title:string body:text"
Microsoft pushed a similar form factor to what you describe, a few years back. The market rejected it.

Personally, I think a keyboard/touchscreen combination sounds great, but apparently we're in the extreme minority on this one.
Perhaps my favorite good act to do is to help people push their car when they need it. It's dumb, really, but having grown up in the south, people are just hospitable that way.

It generally doesn't take much to do, it helps traffic, and at least for me, it makes me feel good about myself. Besides, it always irks me when I see someone trying to push their car out of traffic and nobody else is helping. Especially considering the traffic implications around here, when somebody in the road makes an already bad situation worse.

I've been late because of it, but to date, I've never had anybody hold it against me that I was late because I helped somebody move a car.
My favorite is "problem solver", the ones who use it carelessly in their resumes are usually "problem creators" instead.
Yeah, sorry for that. We'll plan the next one with more lead time for everyone. If you're having a party on saturday you'll have at least 12 hours to get ready for this one. :-)
Hi. I'm using it for the dictionaries in my Custom keyboard for iOS - Type Nine[1], and for the small amount of settings the app has.

It basically provided everything i needed out of the box, and i have dictionaries with 250,000 - 400,000 words that returns BEGINSWITH queries sorted by most used words faster than anyone would be able to type. (below 20ms on an iPhone 5)

I had actually implemented everything in CoreData (sqlite) at first, but when i fell over Realm i gave myself a couple of hours to test it out, and haven't looked back since.
It has a really small API surface, so if you're considering to use it I would definitely recommend you to try it out, it wouldn't take a long time to find out if what you need is available.

Maybe I am feeling dense, but I do not understand what you are trying to point out. None except one are errors as they relate to embedded sql statements (where Equal To is the comparison operator).
I was looking to buy an Aeron but it wasn't very comfortable for me. The medium one was too small and the large one too big.

When I tried the Embody at the store, I fell in love. It's expensive as hell, but I'm glad I bought it. It's an outstanding chair, superior to the Aeron in every way in my opinion. I can sit on it all day with no pair or discomfort whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure AT&T sees its highly segmented plans and aggressive billing practices as innovative, and considers T-Mobile's approach to be naive and old fashioned.
Then it says the T-Mobile deal:
...will thus benefit consumers by reducing the
number of dropped and blocked calls, increasing
data speeds, improving in-building coverage, and
dramatically expanding deployment of next-generation
mobile technology.

One assumes that in reality it will result in fewer dropped calls for AT&T customers and more for T-Mobile customers.
1. I would say that I am more of a creative person (right brained). I almost went to design school a few years ago (switched to philosophy at a state school.) I'm terrible at math. Yet, somehow I am really, really good at logic. Perhaps I just don't think in numbers.

My memory skills (specifically, spatial memory) are also top-notch. I've never set out to learn a language, other than Spanish years ago in high school. I also used to be a very good chess player.

My parents were computer consultants (programmer and biz dev/design) so I've always been great with computers. Just not from the programming angle.

2. That makes sense and echoes what I've read/heard, thanks.
The Wikipedia article is already up-to-date.

National mentality has to do with it. For instance, you see a night-and-day difference in driver behavior when you cross the border from, say, Switzerland to Italy.

Why poor countries have lots of deadly car accidents probably has something to do with corruption, in part. People won't respect order, such as traffic codes, when their government isn't respectable. If I imagine I'm a citizen of a poor country, why would I stop at a red light if my president gave a contract to some foreign company in exchange for bribes. If he can do as he pleases, so can I.

There is also driver licensing. Here in the provinces of Canada, for instance, if you have a measurable pulse and/or your breath can fog a cold mirror, you can get a driver's license. I can't imagine that the same is true in Sweden.

A learner's permit can be obtained by passing a written test. After that, a very brief and easy road test results in a driver's license. No formal schooling is required; a friend or relative can teach you, for instance.

Furthermore, driver's license renewals do not require any testing. I got my driver's license in 1987. Since, then, I have renewed it every five years simply by paying the fee, signing a paper, and having my picture taken. I've never been required to take any additional training or testing.

Imagine if it was like that for, say, commercial airline pilots.
In my experience, executable specs are much more useful than their non-executable brethren. They prove their own correctness, and can't gloss over important details.
I'd understand the argument if GitHub was an opinion news site of some kind, but the fact is that it's a place where code is shared, code used to create software.

GitHub is a US company but so are many others. To say github is "pushing" to Americanize the world and trump local communities is either foolish or a complete misunderstanding of what github does.

I don't mean to be a jerk but you're really missing the point here and barking up the wrong tree.
this is a vendetta between two people, not the lizard squad..Member 1 has a hater that will use any ruse to attack the other.. of course British justice is ripe for this sort of thing. It too has a long history of needing IRA arrests. And accepting testimony questionable from sources listing to the RADIO is the best case in point. PSN and XBL down is big (uninsured losses in the millions) and will change everything about OpSec.
What would be good is if it can add the repositories to the sources.list so that upgrades would also be taken care of. I dont know if this is done already.

If the above is already done, a country specific repository list would be even better.
Sounds like neither. A prebuilt binary (or the makefile and resultant binary) should be at the top level. You could have other files in subdirectories if you liked.
Alternately, it could imply that the repository, or an individual application "update feed", gets installed along with the app. Further, I could imagine that what the site is actually proffering is a shell script that simply adds a repo repository and then calls apt.

Having checked: Clicking the "Install" button for the "RAR" app redirects to "apt:rar?section=multiverse", which, I imagine (not having Linux installed, I can't follow further) opens in Synaptic. Looking around, I can't find a link that doesn't point to either the default, universe, or multiverse repo, so I assume it just doesn't offer externals.
I start with these guys Monday. I have a real feeling they're going somewhere.

Amusingly, the job posting I applied through gave only slightly more information (New Products Division).
> Most require you to build libraries. This can be a turn off to anyone who wants to get up and running quickly - especially if you just want to try something out. This is especially true of exploratory TDD coding.

This is absolutely true, and especially painful/noticeable if you target multiple platforms. To work around this problem, I've started using the stand-alone version of the Boost Unit Test framework:

#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

The problem with including that, like many other Boost header-only libraries, is that they wreck havoc on compile time :/.
Then why leave?
You're onto something ... Sounds like the AirBnB or Uber for street parking. Disruption is in the making.</sarcasm>

Why should people require a smartphone to figure out whether they can park on a street or not?

My solution: KISS! European countries show that it's totally feasible to make easy-to-understand parking signs, in 2015, without any Silicon Valley tech at all.
Since you appear to be struggling with the basic concept of bitcoin, here's the first phrase from Bitcoin.org for you:

Note: HN will elide links that are excessively long, so next time you can just paste the Google Maps links directly. Plus a lot of people don't like clicking on blind links.
Elite Squad 2 went more in depth. It went at the underlying corruption that limited economic opportunities for the poor and how it uses the police power to maintain this situation.
I like the UI a lot. Content-wise, it lists "Enough" and "Murder by Numbers" as gems. Hmm.
Yep :)

I've asked a lot of people throughout the years about how they got into programming. And more than just a handful of people said that they got into programming because of the demoscene, and more specifically, Denthor's graphics tutorials. And only because it was fun and exciting, and something they wanted to emulate. Some pursued it as a career, but a lot didn't (this was pre-Internet bubble so computers weren't something you could get a job with!).
libev, which is considerably simpler, but not nearly as neat as libuv.
Here is a similar write up on how to exit google

http://www.scorchedweb.com/uncategorized/exit-the-goolag/
Attributing fault for an accident. Plenty of cases where someone gets hit from behind because they pulled into traffic with too little room to spare or did something other traffic participants could not have reasonably forseen. Yeah there are plenty of people who text message their way into stopped traffic but there's enough edge cases that the generalization falls down.
probably a scam, do you have a reference to this claim?
Not sure why I got downvoted for this? I’m just trying to learn.
Glock is a fairly obvious one.
that is absolutely not correct!

very few countries had effective social isolation, most like the US were having both the economic and health negative side effects of closing and not closing because leadership was disagreeing on everything. For example, some cities had curfews and closed restaurants, but open airports and counted every business that was not a restaurant as "essential".

But the few countries that did things correctly, like NZ, did have a much better outcome with close to ZERO deaths.
The melting pot is what you're talking about when you say a single united composite entity.

The other part, the segregated ethnic lanes is often referred to as "patchwork quilt". The idea is there is no assimilation only people living side by side in harmony, but we're seeing exactly how those borders between identities are creating mayhem, not harmony.
> Normally HN is very against weaponizing copyright law

I mean, a good chunk of the people here are GPL fans, and if that's not a weaponization of copyright law, I don't know what is.
> getting rid of inheritance altogether and settling for this interface boundary sharing

You claim it is "settling" but I'll try to explain why its not only not "settling" but actually encouraging best practices. I'm not sure what language you're most familiar with but since you're talking about inheritance I'll try to provide Java analogies.

Hierarchal components => Hierarchical composition of classes

Mixins => Interfaces with default implementations (possible as of Java 8)

Inheritance, as defined by the OO paradigm, is very rarely the correct solution. Even in a language like Java, when it comes to classes, the best practice is to use composition over inheritance. If you haven't heard this before, or you don't agree, sorry but I'd rather not get into this myself. There are a ton of really good resources online about this, they will do a far better job explaining than I would.
California (and NYC) pay outsized salaries compared to everywhere else.

However, your US work ethic/hours/vacation is out of wack with what you'll see in Europe. You'll work a lot of fewer hours there in general.

Compare hours, days working vs off, etc compared to what people Actually work in a california software company.
Python has a mark and sweep garbage collector(since 2.0) to catch that which reference counting misses. You can disable it if you know you don't make any cyclical objects.
You could add in the ~1.6% that android accounts for and it would then beat the iPad.
Not to be overly philosophical, but this problem was more or less created by the urbanization of human culture. I live in a small town in Maine and telecommute to my job. If I need a tool, before I ever even think of hitting up Amazon or Home Depot, I ask around.

Problem solved. Live in communities where your peer group is varied enough that you're likely to be friends with someone with what you don't have and this is a non-issue.

Of course, that's not realistic for the vast majority of the U.S. So I suppose, good luck. I'm gonna go chat with my neighbor about something and see if needs any help.
It’s pretty grepable because {“ (json opener) always encode to “ey”. So a base64 that starts with “ey” and has 3 dot separated sections is a good start for a regex. I’m sure you can go further by looking at the spec.
> To send a payment in Clubhouse, just tap on the profile of a creator (who has the feature enabled) and tap "Send Money".

That's unusually generous. Apple and Google take note.
The minified version is broken for me with "VM9:2 WebGL: too many errors, no more errors will be reported to the console for this context" and the source is unreadable.

But the dev build at https://fms-cat.com/condition/pages/condition_640x360_dev.ht... works.
I don't follow - what is the second paragraph meant to demonstrate?
can it play crysis?
This trend of bundling easy payment into more platforms looks like good news for Stripe.
This provides a very strong incentive for bad actors on Clubhouse to create rooms to ask for money under false/scammy pretenses, and Clubhouse has an unclear moderation policy for that.
When they said "masks don't work", that was a lie. It was an obvious lie.

Would you rather a sick person coughs and sneezes on you (a) with a mask; or (b) maybe on their hand or elbow if they react fast enough?
