Why does the age of the children matter? Surely the lessons you're trying to teach with sport are the same no matter what age the pupils.

>Without the opportunity to prove I'm the best, I might as well go for a quiet walk.

I've played quite a bit of [association] football in the past in Sunday leagues in the UK including my Uni's league and was in school teams too - a good game for me was one where I played well and managed to do my part well and have fun; those games were not always ones in which our team scored more points.

I stopped watching football many years ago when the professional foul became rife and I felt that top players were there to win at all costs, including the cost of playing a decent game of football.
I believe the adoption of WordPress users early on made a large difference.
I, for one, am just glad that CERN didn't create a black hole or otherwise destroy spacetime before they managed to do the kind of thing we normally have to turn to science fiction to read about.
As long as you can reach Libido from Alan Turning, it's fine, doesn't matter which route you take.

However, it's only limited to 3 degrees so there are not too many options, and you won't get lost in the wiki world either.
> If you think about it, what does the "within 12 months" part even mean?

I'm not sure what part about that is confusing. In case you are ESL it means that Ballmer will retire before one year has elapsed.

> Like, if the deadline hits, they'll just take whoever they can get?

Running one of the largest, profitable and most prestigious companies in the world is a pretty good job. I'm pretty certain that there will be no shortage of qualified people willing to become the CEO:)

No one makes an announcement like this without planning ahead, they've already got either a new CEO or a very short list of people who they've already vetted.
Do you have a source to cite here?
And I think that's OK. For some people, they hate reading and writing or recording video or editing audio, so CH can provide a platform for some people who love being in vocal group discussions, whether hosting, speaking, or even listening, and can bring lots to that segment.

I personally love to read things because I think I can read rather fast and I have friends who hated even text messages, preferring voice notes, because they don't want to read/type so much.

I also agree there's the social dynamics you mention, just think the communication format appeals to some more than others.
> huge expense to society at large.

I'm not aware of this. I thought it was a huge expense to people who wanted to move to an area at any price, and the absence of a huge windfall to people who want to build massive apartment buildings in neighborhoods where the vast majority of the residents don't want them.
The ones who post racist homophobic and misogynistic memes on Parler? Yes.

If they're not, as your question seems to imply, then "all" conservatives are racist/etc. But i'm not saying that, i'm saying the racist ones are the extremists.

Likewise the people who mean well, but are incorrect, on the left who tried to rename Rubocop are extremists.
That is still a single dam.

A whole country could be powered by a single dam.
Steve's advice was "Dont think what he would do, but do what you think is right."

The problem is knowing what is right, and that is exactly the strength of Steve. Often by intuition, and some by experience where he made mistakes and he quickly correct. And right now the designed by committee seems to be lacking the latter attribute.

Tim Cook is also much more focused on Revenue and Profits with their Strategy. Steve is much more product based.
hackker ako boy
I think the thing that bothers me (and, it seems, lots of other folks) most about this is the feeling that the daughter had very little say in the matter, when by that time, if you're presumably mature enough to start working toward a career, you're mature enough to have some say in what you do all day, every day, instead of high school.
It probably does not catch up there because you'd need a bunch of policemen to prevent spectators from being run over by cars losing control :)
>exploding popularity (hundreds thousands of people lining the stages without the protection of normal circuit racing) and a series of deadly accidents, eventually leading to the end of the Group B category

I know next-to-nothing about rally racing, but that last photo in the article must highlight what you're talking about: a TV cameraman standing about six feet away from a speeding car on a dirt road. Yikes!
> I don't believe this is the case. Population growth has stopped in the US, and as baby boomers die off you're going to see a glut of housing inventory pushing prices down.

Two words: immigrants and inflation. I think I'm going to see a $100k minimum wage in my lifetime just from inflation.

> The real estate agent/broker advising you is required to act as your fiduciary

Of course, as far as trying to get the best deal and informing you of property condition and so forth. In context I clearly meant financial fiduciary [edit: I see even that could be mis-read, so in more words: your realtor has no duty to tell you what you can and can't afford]. RE agents take great pains to know only what your prequal number is to make sure they stay far away from the possibility of financial fiduciary duty.

> Selection bias.

Perhaps. Whether or not their home was underwater, someone hit by unemployment's probably going to end up in that position anyway. Obviously it was all connected; regardless, those instances are not very interesting. As I said elsewhere in the thread, the cases where people are indeed able to pay yet still walk away are interesting to me.
Deflation also causes problems because the value of your money increases over time. Should I spend it today, tomorrow or in 10 years?
I second this. For me it's not even about being watched. It's that unnerving feeling of presence of other people that often makes me unable to focus in open-space setting at work. I had that since forever - even as a kid I aways closed the door to my room. I'm usually the last person to leave the office and when I see a cow-orker of mine staying late I start to feel irritated (saying in my head "hey, this was supposed to be my time for focused work!").

Funny thing is - I'm not an antisocial person. I love people. Just not when I'm trying to focus on something. Then the very presence of others makes me nervous.

And yes, when I'm focused, I like to talk to myself out loud, lie down on a couch to think, rock to music and draw a lot (when designing something). All those things look silly and I'm uncomfortable doing any of it when not alone.
I've been using https://cuelang.org, a new logical language.

Yes but for dynamically scoped languages you have to name it even longer.

Because in Scheme there are safe variables in closures so it can just named as <already-very-long-function-name>, while in Emacs Lisp it's literally leaking everywhere so it need to be <plugin-name>-<feature-name>-<sub-feature-name>-<repeat-the-feature-name-game-for-a-while>-<and-eventually-the-already-very-long-function-name> instead.
There are two major problems that I see:

- Source of clean air: HEPA filter will get contaminated and needs to be changed. UV sterilization might do it, but bulky and power intensive. Otherwise carry your own gases -- extremely technical, likely to asphyxiate yourself.

- As soon as you go I to a red zone the exterior of the suit is contaminated. Basically you need a disposable suit/gown outside the positive pressure suit.

Only other issue is that this is bonkers. Stay at home, wash your hands, wear a face shield when out to prevent touching your face if need be.
Interesting story!

Side note - i am Australian, have traveled the world and I find it funny in many countries (particularly Asia), everyone thinks Milo is from their own country. They are suprised when I tell them it's Australian and hilarity ensues when they looked it up online.

Oh and don't feel bad cause Aussies have loads of brands too that we thought were local but are actually from overseas. For the longest time, i thought Maggi noodles was from Asia but its actually Swiss!
A government website, or anything of importance during an emergency, really has no excuse when it comes to being excessively heavy, both on the front end and the back end.

At times of panic you want to convey information as fast as possible and as efficiently as possible. Five nines availability.

Did you get your sense of smell back???
Is this a racist question to be asking in an interview?

I seem to remember some back story about people being imprisoned and forced to solve this problem during the Vietnam war (possibly in a tower -- for extra meta level punishment).
Systems development, game development, app development, scientific/data programming, etc. Some of these lie closer on the spectrum to web development than others but web seems to be the only one having these growing pains.
Have you looked for the integer representation 0x08080808?
Cool, but why is it so expensive? $12 per GB per month? It is hosted on AWS so what does "high-performance" mean?
My example is not contrived, it represents an understanding of the market over the long term. Are there bubbles? Yes. Are there dips? Yes.

You are making the inverse mistake of someone who looks at a large jackpot win in Vegas and thinks it's a good investment, when in reality the expected value of a bet is negative.

The rate of return on capital has held relatively steady at ~4% for hundreds of years. Stop thinking about individual winners and losers, and look at the broader picture. If you have sufficient capital, you can expect to return capital + n% over time, where n is approximately 4%.
How is this Windows fault? If you run an mpkg on OSX and something you didnt specifically ask for gets installed is it Apple's fault ?
That was easily the most interesting part of the keynote to me (Android user). I already assumed that video calling from Apple would push something similar forward in the rest of the phone community, but the fact that they're going to make it an open standard is phenomenal.

Of course, we'll see what they mean by "open standard" after the recent debacle with Safari's "HTML5 Demo", but I'd like to remain optimistic. Webkit was a nice gift, and hopefully this will be something similar.
N1 has hd video at 20fps. display is better, ok. guitar hero, netflix and farmville I would not call them innovations. farmville is a way to overcome flash of course.
You don't understand WIFI. All WIFI devices share the same 2.4/5GHz bandwidth and thus if you have too many devices in one physical location you're screwed.
My top 100 for [VC carry interest] include no Feld links, either. Perhaps TPtacek is seeing highly personalized Google results?
They have to. It will be dead otherwise, based on the current prerequisites (iOS4 to iOS4, only on wifi)
For now. Looks like they want to push it as a video chat standard, so, it's gonna be on any Android phones with video camera capacities, front facing or not.
Let's say in a town of 200 people you open the first fruit shop. Turns out people there love fruits but just never knew it. Everyday they only come to your shop to buy fruits. That's a monopoly already. However, you'd only stay a monopoly if your prices stay competitive. If your prices are too expensive and your margins are too high, other opportunists will jump in to open their own fruit shop, and there's nothing you can do to stop them. You can try to drop your prices, but that's it, and now you're worse off, your prices are lower and there's a competitor. You'd rather have prices to be low all the time and have all the business to yourself.

I'm not sure what rule or law you are referring do, but I'm guessing no. Illinois is a "two party" state as well and you cannot record audio of anyone with their consent, including a public official acting in a public capacity. However (at least in Illinois) this law does not apply to video. It is a relic from some wiretapping legislation that is being inappropriately applied to citizens attempting to document their experiences with public officials.
>The American Postal Workers' Union says this is a "phony crisis" caused by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, which requires the Postal Service to pre-fund retiree health care costs.

>No other government agency - or private business - bears this kind of burden.

>As a result of the pre-funding mandate the USPS begins every fiscal year more than $5 billion in debt. In fact, the act requires the USPS to pre-fund 75 years' worth of retiree health care costs in just 10 years.

>If the pre-funding requirement weren't in place the Postal Service would actually have a $3.7 billion surplus - over $1 billion each year for the past three fiscal years - despite declining mail volume due to increased use of electronic mail and an economy in crisis.

Emphasis mine. It's just a generally insane burden that's not getting enough attention.
Maybe this is one of those things that "Google couldn't do."

The worst thing is that in this context, civil disobedience is not consenting to either having naked pictures of yourself taken or being sexually assaulted by government employees.
I'm based in India and am relatively unaware of how American politics work. I have always acknowledged America to be the 'land of the free' , where individual liberties champion everything else, so it's hard for me to imagine this happening. But doesn't Barack Obama have any power as President to stop this (from what I read) illegal act? I also thought he was the President that could change what went wrong with the Bush administration.
Hm, sorry, didn't mean to be.
Incredible. It even evolves a walker resembling a variant of a kangaroo (at [01:57]). With a target speed of 1.0 m/s, the legs alternate in taking small steps, but at 2.0 m/s, both legs are used to jump.
The author displays ignorance of the topic in alleging that no one has addressed whether mere algorithms per se should be patentable. Case law has discussed this repeatedly and made clear that a mere algorithm per se can't be patented. See e.g. Gottschalk v. Benson, a U.S. Supreme Court case from 1972.
Wow, this is outrageous. Is this the same state that declared war on it's own teachers? Why are they so messed up?
Gradle is heaven for anyone who's ever had to work with Ant in earnest. The programming language is actually a language, not a horrifying accidentally-Turing-complete DSL!
I Was thinking for example, how hard would it be to let an algorithm pick a random number of valid tokens from a language (say java) and the suyccess metric be something like, the amount (or score) of errors that the compiler returns.

Presumably I would expect to see the first few iterations produce nonsense, but maybe after a while, a bot is able to correctly write a variable assignment.

The first obvious problem I see comes from the fact that we know we can have a completely valid piece of code after gibberish and the compiler won't notice the difference.

But what about if there's a compiler able to "score" the "correctness" of the program? that would solve that issue and in theory be able to "learn" how to program, albeit slowly and like you say, most likely not human readable.
It is probably a safe bet that a large portion of notation and nomenclature that is in wide use, was put forth as a means to standardize its use. It isn't like folk thought, "I want to confuse folks with my terminology."
Oracle actually picked up ConsoleKit and beefed it up significantly for Solaris, giving it true multi-seat support. [1]

However, they did this in complete silence, so very few people actually know about this.

Sure but does a 23% malware rate justify further restricting side loading? Seems like snake oil security, rather than addressing the bigger problem of malware through the official channels.
Wait. this is new to me.
That's basically what Tesla already does, although they'll ship it so you don't have to drive it from the factory.
This could make for some huge git repositories, storing largish binary files in git is a real trap for young players.

Pretty sure Hanlon's razor is in full force here. Oracle's done enough shitty stuff - we don't need to go out of our way to pin nonsense like this on them. (Besides, AFAIK, X.org is in no way a competitor to any part of oracle, so it's not like they care.)

Millions marched for women's rights, millions marched for gay rights, millions marched for voters rights, millions marched for democracy.

Now this desperate man called for protest, and what did he get? Thousands.

It's a tough moment for our nation, but I am reassured. First the people, then the courts, then the states, now congress and the Vice President have all repudiated Trump's dictatorial aspirations.
He is one of 3 people that came to mind immediately reading this post. One of his latest creations, QuickJS, is quite remarkable.

The other two I thought of are Peter Norton and Linus Torvalds.

Fabrice, despite his tremendous contributions to the field, doesn't reach for acclaim and just seems to go his own way.

Peter Norton was a genius in his field. His book on Assembly Language was one of my favorites as a youth. Norton tools were impressive for their time.

Linus, as the namesake for Linux also made a huge impact on the field... and comes off as somewhat of an uncontrolled lunatic.

I don't though think that these three people are the highest level masters in the field. I think they are just the ones who have chosen to do things that have high impact and visibility.
Thanks for sharing. While I agree with eli, this is an insight into what the other side is looking at. And the "other side" is definitely a spectrum of people -- ones who are open to reason and others that are absolutely not.
I now have a good place to link to when talking about lisp debugging being the killer feature that keeps me coming back to lisp as a language.

I usually get very confused responses when I say this, as people think "single step through the code" when I say "debugger" and I respond with something like "I'm pretty sure there's a way to step through the code in SLIME, but I never learned it because I've never had a need for that."

A quick skim through the series shows that the author feels the same way; there doesn't seem to be a mention of SLDB's stepper.
This is absolute nonsense. You are trying your damndest to espouse the HN screed of "Free Speech" but it's got nothing to do with why conservatives have raided the Capitol. Conservatives have raided the capitol for the same they raided Wilmington in 1898, the courthouse in Colfax and why they attacked Ellenton. And that reason is because they feel that white hegemony is under attack, and since democracy can't be used to secure it, it has to go.

Thank you all so much for the kind words and encouragement. I have no idea how to find a shrink... if you were looking for one, how would you go about finding a good one?
The Wikipedia page links to this issue of Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Journal, which has some interesting additional reporting (page 20):
http://www.lanl.gov/orgs/padwp/pdfs/nwj2_09.pdf

Apparently they did have documentation for how to manufacture FOGBANK, but when they rebuilt the manufacturing pipeline the end product didn't pass the tests.

After some debugging they realized that back in the 70s, one of the raw materials had been purified to a lower standard than today, and one of the contaminants actually turned out to be crucial to the process. Once they knew that, they could start intentionally adding that contaminant and track the concentration of it.
That app is awesome and way slicker than my little hack here. Cool!
I _love_ this idea--I often want to send a letter to my Congressmen, but am too lazy to actually address an envelope.

Only problem: how do we know that mailcongress.org will actually mail the letters that we pay to have them mail? It's not like we can call our Congresscritters later to confirm that they received them...
There is more to education than Bachelor degrees. Investment in the trades and advertising them as legitimate and respectful career paths is one path that could use more funding. Too many people push for a BA due to external pressures saying you need a university degree to be considered a success today.
That is part of the design: there is a point where trying to make a coin of X dollars costs more than X dollars electricity; thus, the money supply becomes constant. The value of the currency will then fluctuate based on the perceived wealth behind the currency.
Swordfish? Surely you're joking, Mr. ConceitedCode? Such as faux pas :)
Sure, but in practice for a single-user dropbox account it's not a big deal, IF you unmount the volume when you're done with it.

I do the same thing that the GP does - mount the disk image, work with the files, then unmount. It's been working great for me for a while, though as the GP says it's not very elegant.
