Can we please just write the damn word down as it is? Everyone knows what the word is, and if someone gets offended by seeing it, that's his very own special problem.
So, does anyone have a photo of the stickers? Since I am in Europe, I still have to wait a few days ;).
I think depression comes with the punishment of life imprisonment, so the ? about the availability of suicide is still valid.
A bunch of languages have some special syntax to solve hairy problems. Async await, yield for generators, ? for dealing with errors in rust, etc.

If those deal with composition and variable scoping in an intuitive way it's a monad. This "intuitive way" is equivalent to changing block scoping in imperative languages.

{
let x = foo()
let y = bar(x)
let z = baz(x,y)
...
}

should stay equivalent to

{
let x = foo()
let z
{
let y = bar(x)
z = baz(x,y)
}
...
}

and you should be able to add empty scopes without changing anything so

{
foo()
}

should still equal

{
{}
foo()
{}
}

And that's the entire definition of monads. The abstract monad interface is useful to let users define new interpretations for the syntax sugar but not necessary when getting started with haskell - you will pick up intuitions while using it.

Yes, they hired him, at the end of the race, after he has done everything on his own without any kind of Google support.

On my book being committed, is paying for the race at the start.

When TF4S delivers even the half of what ML.NET or Julia allows for on Windows including IDE, libraries and tooling support, today, and they actually start doing a bit more information then what gets given to Python, C++ and JavaScript then they are actually committed.
When my hair was blue (or purple, or bright red, or whatever), I had people tell me that I'd be pretty if only I didn't have that hair color. If only I looked more natural. And that's OK, they didn't need to understand. I was happy with it, and I didn't need those folks to find me attractive nor need their permission.

If breast reduction surgery was cheaper and less invasive, I would have had it long ago. It'd be nice not to have to order bras or go to special stores. Or to fit into normal clothing more often. Plus, I'd be slightly happier with my shape. Not everyone would see the aesthetic of it, nor would anyone really say there is expression in it - but what the frick does that matter? It is my body and my life. I'm not sure how this is any different. It doesn't matter if I would get the surgery or not - I'd not do a lot of things others do.
yes. but also the graphics library and windows library is also a little bit better than on windows.
Nice. According to the panopticlick, I'm the only one with my exact plugin details. None of the other data is even needed to identify me, though being one of the .005% of people using Firefox 3.6.13 on Ubuntu 10.10 probably helps.
I see virtualisation as a promising way forward for FreeBSD. Hardware support has always lagged Linux (and still does). The limited resources of BSD hackers could be more appropriately concentrated on needed areas instead of constantly playing hardware catch-up.

I hope it will help you too.
To become a coder is simple: Start writing code.

The right question to ask is 'how do I become a GOOD coder?' -- the answer there is also straightforward, but time consuming: Spend ten years writing code. (Five years is enough to be employable, but it takes another five before you stop being "that guy who wrote all the bugs we keep on finding".)

There really aren't any shortcuts, no matter what booksellers try to make you think.
You make a good point (though including "exploding popularity" in the explanation of how the sport was killed is a bit odd...). But then again, the point of racing is supposedly to improve the breed. I am pretty sure that the technologies from rally cars find their way into production cars more readily than those from say Formula 1. And the Audi Quattro sure kicked off the technology race.

By the way, a colleague of mine owned an Audi Quattro Sport back in the late 90's. It was a very complex car, many components were unique to this model and hand-built. Maintenance was difficult, very expensive and very frequent. He bought a Subaru Impreza WRX "for those 8 months of the year that the Audi spends in the workshop".
Atari ST and Amiga would do, if you are so kind.

Maybe with some bonus points for Arcades.
PeaZip has many good features, eg smart new folder. But the UI is pretty slow.
But you could have all the keys and still use layers.
I once visited the SAS campus in North Carolina, when I was working for another well-known North Carolina headquartered software company. Very nice place. Made me quite jealous.
Rust is planning to add that eventually, but in the meantime:

fn foo(n: i32) -> i32 {
n * 2
}
const y: i32 = foo(3);

This article is a bit innocent. It does not examine how the big tax cuts of 1982 changed incentives for everyone. There is a considerable amount of research that suggests when income tax on top rates is high, workers prefer non-cash benefits, rather than money. Recall that in the USA, during the 40s and 50s, the top income rate was 91% on all income over $100,000 (roughly a $1 million in todays money). Because of this, most top stars did not seeks payment in excess of $100,000. Instead, they sought benefits in to go along with their $100,000. The big tax cuts of 1982 lowered top rates to 36%. This made it much more rational for top workers to ask for high amounts.
You should start selling this piece using the scheme.

You talk a lot about how copyright "seems" to you. If you want to change copyright, maybe you should first try to upgrade "seems" to "is". Generally, it is a good idea to understand a subject if you want to change it.

There's a good article from Justice Breyer (from before he was on the Supreme Court) called "The Uneasy Case for Copyright" where he concludes that strong copyright protection is not justified. There's an interesting analysis of Breyer's arguments by Landis and Posner (big names in the area of applying mathematical economics to the law) concluding that as copying has become easier, Breyer's arguments have become weaker.

These articles could be a good start for someone who thinks like a hacker or mathematician.
os.listdir(".//") I guess the author made it open source :).

Anyways you cannot write, I'v been poking around a bit but it appears he is using a lexer/parser.

it may be that, through the miracle of technology's abundance, we will continue on a track where we all have a high quality of life, but only a smaller and smaller pool of people "own" the production engines.

I think the first part of what you said is right: we will continue on a track where we all have a high quality of life, absent a paradigm shift in which the economy crashes like in Weimar Germany.

The second part of what you said -- about ownership of the "engines of production" -- is straight out of Marxism, which is, by the way, broken. More and more we live in an information economy; it's not about what you own, but what you know and what you can make.

That minor nit aside--who cares who owns what, as long as it isn't stolen from others and as long as quality of life continues to rise for everybody who puts in their share of effort?

What I mean to say is that the most important thing is that the system be fair, and let's be honest, fair does not mean an "equal distribution of wealth."

In fact, it seems pretty clear (especially when "nobody's starving") that what is fair is letting people earn based on their productive capability and effort, whether they're Steve Jobs, an average software developer, or someone with only a high school diploma.
And by "MacroMates" you mean the singular developer who works on it who has probably already made a small fortune from TextMate 1.x licenses and has said a few times that TextMate development is a "hobby". I don't think he's in any sort of trouble.
No, it means that if you're poor, you're spending a larger percentage of your income and saving less of it. Poor people have to spend a higher percentage of their money on basic necessities such as rent, food, clothing, transportation, etc.

This is a really great lib -- nice work! Interesting to see the lessons learned from Flash applied to JS/HTML5.
More than that: we don’t see any need to search for a device that is different from, or not integral to, the legitimate communication. [earlier cases] added this “different device” requirement to the statutory text to avoid what those judges thought would otherwise be a rule that made ordinary usage of a telephone or computer criminal. These judges feared that, unless the “device” must be extraneous to a proper communication, a person answering his own phone at home, and holding a conversation with a friend, would violate the Wiretap Act by acquiring the content of his own conversation using his own phone (a “device”).

This fear just shows why it is a mistake to read snippets of a statute in isolation. For another section of the Wiretap Act declares that “it shall not be unlawful ... for a person ... to intercept a wire, oral or electronic communication where such person is a party to the ommunication or where one of the parties ... has given prior consent.” [] So acquiring the contents of one’s own conversation, and sharing them over a speakerphone, is not unlawful, no matter what the word “device” means. It is better to follow the statute than to make up limitations to avert imaginary problems.

It would save a great deal of time and effort if this point made by Judge Easterbrook were more widely appreciated.

So many people think the law is like a series of logical assertions, and that if they can just find one error or inconsistency therein then the whole is invalidated, somewhat like a mathematical theorem or a piece of procedural computer code. Of course the law many flaws, but as a decision-making tool it's an event-driven, object-oriented, and employs a high degree of parallelism.
Texas operates along a similar proposition. It is called the Sunset Advisory Commission and applies to policies, regulations and agencies.

Interesting basis, but ARGH! I hate these fake infographics.

Why not put the picture just at the top and write their 10 points in html ?
They could have linked to their reference in context, the text would be easier to correct, possibly prettier and definitely more accessible. And I could adjust it to a decent font size. Aaaaaaaaaaaargh.
I+D => Research and Development

Subvention => The government gives you free money if they believe that your startup is "good". In practice, there is some corruption (example: I will grant you a 2 million euros subvention if you casually happen to subcontract all the work to mi niece's company for 1.9 million). Even if you find honest people, there is A LOT of bureaucratic stuff to do to be eligible.
I think this is just another argument for faster iterations, MVPs, more testing and customer development. As opposed to development in your own head.
> but it's still interesting that people choose it over their phone

For one thing, there's no mobile signal in the tube, and the wifi there is, isn't cheap and only covers stations. I have access to the wifi through my mobile plan, and I still prefer reading offline content on my tablet or Kindle.
Or even worse, the UA of another browser verbatim, for "compability purposes".
I'm on WP8 which I imagine you probably aren't, so this may not be useful to you, but in case it's relevant across platforms, or in case there are any WP8 readers:

a.) I updated when I saw this HN submission, a 17mb update, to version 2.11.634 (it didn't updated automatically, but was available when I checked my app store)

b.) Opening whatsapp after the update showed it had updated (I could see some other features that had changed), but I couldn't find the web option. After killing whatsapp and restarting it, it then appeared on a menu where it hadn't been before
If you want to see similar technology that's being used now, check out the Leap Motion being used with the Oculus Rift. They mount it on the front. I've personally only got experience with the rift (I have a DK2), but I've heard good things.

I think Oculus has it right, though, in that any HMD that does positional tracking needs super low latency to feel natural. Should be a little less problematic since the whole world wouldn't lag, but I'd be disappointed if the virtual overlay had perceptible lag after using some of the better experiences on the rift.
You could always pronounce it as /see-oh-kju/.
Another anecdote: my wife's teaching a class at MIT now, and they have problems with homeworks being basically copied from the MIT OpenCourseWare web site, which apparently contains the solution to pretty much any problem given in any of the previous years' classes. I'm actually genuinely troubled by what to think of this unfortunate intersection between unprecedented access to information and requiring students to do work beyond Googling...
I was on one of these academic integrity hearing boards as a student representative at Cornell. In my experience the board was strongly in favor of failing students outright and adding a notation to their academic record. It's not as bad as expelling them from the university. But it's not like it was some softball slap on the wrist either.

And the cases we were presiding over were not simple. We had a case where a student started a test early, as the exams were being handed out, but before everyone got a copy, and we took that as a serious violation of academic integrity (this student was not completely failed out of the course.)

Our objective was not at all to "mildly scare the students until they Learn Their Lesson and then let them off the hook."
I think dictionary attacks are a far more common attack profile than looking for written down passwords. Also, pointing out common passphrases is a good way to ensure that passphrase checking makes it into later iterations of password cracking.

My lawyer once pointed out to me that "contracts are only as good as the people who signed them" and what I've learned over the years is to go out of my way to avoid doing business with anyone who seems to be a flake. Granted that things can go south, but this strategy works well. And I say this as someone who went to court once and still couldn't collect.
> "If you prevent cheating by having a person who's job it is to catch you then you feel like if you don't get caught you have won."

Given the time of year, when I read about cheating and the honor system, my first thought is about taxes, specifically, paying state sales tax on items bought online and shipped from out of state.

Most states don't have an easy way of catching sales tax cheaters, so it usually comes down to the honor system: When you file your state income tax return, you are supposed to add up all your "mail order" receipts for the year and pay sales tax on them.

How many HNers actually do this, I wonder? This seems like an instance where there is an honor system, but everyone cheats anyway.
The author relies on the assumption that one can try 100 passwords per second (or, fewer, in the case of an extra delay), but that doesn't correspond to real-world security breaches.

The danger of having an insecure password is not that someone will bombard the server with login requests. That can easily be detected and stopped by even the most cursory of server security. The danger is that they crack the server and get the list of password hashes, at which point the time to crack a password is dictated by the hardware at their disposal and the hashing algorithm. Your server capacity or timeout protocols are irrelevant.

So, the 100 attempts/sec number is essentially a fiction. It applies only to a manufactured threat. The real threat is much worse, which means that a password like "this is fun" is not reasonably secure.
Tech startup founders.
That is good news. However, it 's not the first time a "social interview" style app gains momentum. They should work on retaining the users they gained some other way.
Can't you serve a static site purely from memory and avoid hitting the filesystem altogether? If the site is not huge then all the pages could easily fit in memory and served from a memory cache.
If you can, get over your feelings.

I do not believe Japanese are superior. Nor do I believe that most Japanese people think that way. On the contrary. YMMV though.

This thread isn't about that anyway. We are just trying to understand what, if anything, has worked so far in one country and what is not working elsewhere.
Current project: Quarantining myself in my camper van for another week to see if I or my family members are ill before living together.

I have a Mac Mini with upgrades and a 4K monitor waiting.

Also, working on a boro water cooled virtualization/workstation dual EPYC that I've been piecing together before AMD made the press rounds. I'm supposed to have a dual CPU & VRM waterblock but the seller has been deflecting, dodging and dicking around for 4 months... they only mailed half of it.
For one, hydroxychloroquine, and especially when used in combination with azithromycin, can cause prolongation of an electrocardiogram interval called QT. The degree of QT prolongation is associated with a risk of sudden cardiac death. QT prolongation is an issue in patients with underlying heart disease or electrolyte abnormalities. QT > 500 is associated w/ increased risk of sudden death.
Will take this for a spin.
Good luck with adoption!
The last few weeks have been spent on a pretty obscure project, that's finally kinda sorta ready to show to the world.

We were making silly games in Visual Basic 6, because that struck us as a cool thing to do. However, it's hard to show them to your friends, when they all use macOS or Linux. Plus, we didn't want them to miss out on the nostalgic feeling of booting up Windows 98. So, after a lot of blood/sweat/tears and a physical copy of the MS Windows 95 Resource Kit book, we finally can ±roughly automatically install a Windows 98SE machine in QEMU, load it with our games and some settings, and then upload it to S3 to be "played" with copy.sh's v86 engine.

This is not just about chat. Ever tried to build a cross-device synchronization without being able to push updates to clients? It sucks.

The user doesn't know that another user changed something until he opens the app and then the app has to fetch and integrate all updates since the last interaction with the app and the user has to wait until his app is ready.
There are a number of reasons why the fight is worth it.
- 88% of the people who contract COVID-19 develop a fever.
- 20% of the people who contract COVID-19 are hospitalized-they require oxygen. If they recover, they are left with 20-30% decreased lung function.
- 6% are critical require ICU.

This virus has different properties from the flu. It actively destroys lung cells. It's not clear that there is long-term immunity. Concentrated exposure is very lethal; we have several members of a NJ family die after contracting the illness during a dinner party. We have only a fraction of the hospital capacity for all the coronavirus patients and this also hurts ICU patients with other diseases.

I don't think that we want this disease to embed itself in the same way as the flu currently does. We can't have this disease mutate each year like the flu and cull an additional 2% of the population annually over the current annual death rate of 0.95%. Overnight, this virus would become the leading killer--more than all other causes combined. The number of people that will die from this disease compares with major wars.

This is just the first of this type of pandemic. There were other viruses like bird flu and Zika that didn't have an impact.

This also causes society to reorganize itself to lessen the impact of future pandemics. Even without the government actions taken, the fear was already affecting travel and other industries.
Cool idea! I guess it's kinda like Uber for travel industry. This could be big in a few months...
> don't expect much from industry after McDonalds and sugar everywhere

Sometimes a fresh set of eyes are valuable, because the industry culture has developed some pathologies. Sugar in the food industry is a prime example.

And sometimes, it's just a cover for charlatans.
It's really not. WA is good at getting natural language questions but gives you next to no control on the outputs.

Last time I used sympy I had a complicated function on many variables and wanted to plot certain specific 2D contours. I was distant from any computer with numerical/programming tools and needed to add them to a PPT deck last minute.
I always thought it was supposed to be better to spread your information as widely as possible so people can familiarize themselves with your product resulting in potential future sales.

That makes a lot of sense - if you're building a software platform.

If you're building a chip, it makes sense to be the first mover on the cutting edge. By obscuring specs, your competitors won't know what specs are the most valuable to your customers. That sort of thing is critically important to semiconductor business.
> Propaganda is no longer a dirty word

About 80 years ago, it wasn't a dirty word, because it literally means " Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause". It is inherently not good or bad, it is simply information you use to convince people of something. Climate change data is propaganda for climate change science.

It's the rhetoric of smart people combined with the assumptions of stupid people that have given it a permanently negative connotation.
Yeah, one of the issues here seems to be the lack of clarity as to how IMG is defining their IP.

We could be at the point where the PVRTC patents are still valid, and Apple is paying those royalties, but there's no IMG RTL left in the GPU.

We could also be at the place where Apple somehow got a perpetual license to IMG's RTL, and the bones of the Apple GPUs are still very very clearly IMG GPUs, but they feel like they can essientially write the company off.
