The author wrote a sensible article, with a trollish headline. I refuse to bite.
Great test. I don't have IE9 (since I need IE8 for testing, and MS still hasn't figured out how/conjured the will to make IE work like a normal application), but it's interesting to compare FF4 and Chrome. The performance looked about equivalent between the 2. Neither reports a framerate, so not sure about the exact numbers.
You could also see it this way: imagine a guy who climbs mountains. Now compare him to a guy who does not climb mountains. The guy who climbs is wet, he's hungry, he's cold, and he's tired climbing that mountain. The guy not climbing the mountain is warm and comfortable beside his fireplace reading a book. Why is that one guy putting himself through miserable torture and climbing a mountain? Even if he gets to the top, he's still going to have to come down again? Is life not a whole lot more comfortable just sitting down beside a fireplace and reading a book?
No, I am making no such argument. What needs to change, in my opinion, is our culture. Many politicians in our current political system with our current culture are incapable of resisting corruption. Severely limiting the power of government would just let corporations run roughshod over us even more than they do now.
Agreed. http://www.dieselsweeties.com/ wouldn't be the same without an "8-bit feel".
Sorry ... I definitely wasn't meaning to junk up HN. I thought it went along with many recent posts in Ask HN where people thank others for advice or help they'd received from HN.

At any rate, I highly respect the quality of HN, and will try to keep this in mind with future posts. Happy Holidays all the same!
Yes, the two initial values in the sequence are 0 and 1.
1. completely agree

2. yep.

your last comment is a pretty succinct description of my goal. i guess what i should be asking is, what's the best way to make that transition? i kind of fell into .NET development--no real passion there and it's been a large effort just to keep current when i'd much rather be working with something else.
What's worse, the NSA can pass on what the DEA will claim are anonymous tips that lead to evidence that lead to searches, etc. We become a society of "find me the man and I'll show you the crime" but with a stronger illusion to the rule of law than Stalin was able to muster.

Yes.

In .Net 4.5 there are Async versions of the web, file, stream, image and SQL category of functions.

It's also making its way into ASP.Net layer.
Your justification for tying everything together, not only a single method of signing on but a single pervasive identity, was just that ... it's a single person using the things. That's not a very good justification. And your example of a Good Thing that comes from it, by way of contesting my claim that youtube and gmail (or g+) are conceptually distinct, used something else entirely, involving email and planes. (And actually I would prefer those things not to be done automatically!)
> The article said we can derive the delay, and it is almost 0.

I read the article again and couldn't pick this out - could you point this out to me please?
My point was that when someone is targeted by groups like the Taliban, we (the non-Taliban) generally don't find out HOW that group found out about that person.

For instance, suppose someone is killed for providing education to girls, and suppose that person's name and activities were mentioned in a leak. We couldn't conclude that the Taliban killed him because of the leak. Maybe a Taliban sympathizer reported the person. Maybe one of the girls unwisely spoke in public about how great it was to be learning, and a Taliban member overheard and followed to find out who was teaching girls.

Sorry for any errors in Grammar or mistranslations. I also don't claim the technical 'facts' in the article are true, but they are what the original article was stating.

Could you expand a bit? Are you suggesting that F@H projects are perhaps not as beneficial?
The percentage of users buying apps in a given month does relate to the overall number of app purchases. Also, we're only born once, but we can buy apps any time we want.
I'm not sure that is the case. The linked document says:
"The license granted hereunder will terminate ..."
that could be read to mean both licenses, the copyright one and the patent one, but the most natural reading, particularly as they are in separate files, is that it is referring solely to the patent license.

If that reading is correct, you can still use React Native to the extent that doing so doesn't violate any of Facebook's patents. They could argue it does and you could argue it doesn't. Until and unless a judge ruled that it did, you could continue using the software.

Edit: Geofft that's a good point. I suppose this really is a poison pill for a sufficiently large company.
> And even then, open source projects get abandoned all the time or get shut down as well.

I can continue improving an open source project that gets abandoned.
1 - yes my definition of the market is actually as simple as part of your reasoning -> "it has always seemed like the industry adjusts to what has low conceptual overhead and high familiarity, good advertising and at least reasonable utility." I'm not sure if you meant it or not but that the perfect definition of a market and I mean it in that sense. As I've learned from pursuing my own startups...the market is not rational in any other sense. Ever.

2 = Because programming has always (in the mainstream sense) been FP platform + OOP middleware /frameworks + FP high level layer. Now, looking back, in most disciplines only 1 or 2 of these are used, but that just means in those situations the other layers are factored out. In enterprise AND startup development THIS is the formula that is ever present nowadays.

3- I've heard very good things about Erlang. I agree there are more paradigms. That is just a continuation of my first point interestingly enough.

I'm pretty new to programming but the benefit of being an unbiased observer is being able to pick up on all these things. Thank you for the response.

Did anyone recognise the brand/model of HDD they use? Would be interesting to know what Google chose as I'm sure they spent a lot of time/money researching the best HDD for their needs.
I object to the underlying assumption that it's OK to need to rewrite my app for every platform it runs on.

I want write-once-run-everywhere.
"I wonder how you get media to write about your startup like that?"

I'm sure being a cheerleader for big companies with massive PR budgets is a nice revenue stream for these online media outlets.
Coincidentally, the size of the Norwegian oil fund is roughly the same as the Swedish national debt. I'm all for enforcing that union thing again we had going, I'm not so sure we really should have let the Norwegians quit it they way they did...
The inclusion of a HDMI port is interesting. Probably useless to most people (who have existing monitors or will buy a normal computer display) but does this suggest this might run the new Apple TV service?
Pretty well. It's my favorite computer right now since it's so portable. I also installed xcode + the iphone sdk.
"... he pays $500 a month and has a 10-by-6-foot bedroom. But as for the neighborhood, he is less enthusiastic. ..."

Thus why most students aren't eating dinner at a half-decent restaurant. Certainly $29 a year is affordable, but that's also nearly two months of a 20GB Heroku DB addon or a month and a half of an MediaTemple GridServe instance. At the moment every penny I make from work is being put straight into my own startup, and I'm sure it is the same for many other students that are reading HN.
I could be wrong, but I seem to have noticed that articles with a high comment to upvote ratio fall off the top more quickly. If that's true, it may be the case in those articles.
This was rather disconcerting, actually. Is anyone keeping long-term stats on GitHub availability, somewhere?
I was a bit involved with the university branch of Mensa in Germany, i.e. Mind Hochschulnetzwerk. But my contact with them is mostly through alumni from the Deutsche SchuelerAkademie.
I don't think the burden is on us to prove a negative.

It'd be way better to think of it in terms of genetic markers instead of races. Race in general practice is a social construct based on colour, appearance and culture. It's a level of abstraction away from the actual genetic data that we don't need with our level of technology.

We could dig right into the genes and throw away our outdated notions. That's where the actual useful detail is. Who cares about the color of the person if they have the same amount huntington repeats you know?
You're proposing to remove a very large, very alienated group's last public channel to express themselves peacefully. This risks further escalation. This is compounded with the stark contrast to how the protests were handled this summer.
Moving the discourse further away from the light won't help cure the divide in this country. We need more discussion, not less. We need to get both sides talking to each other not to themselves about each other.
Hahahah fuck yes. Deplatform.
Huh? Management almost everywhere opposes unions to the maximum extent permitted by law.
> Though I will argue that the assumption that the Capitol Police answers to the legislature is shaky, at best (in practice).

It's a matter of law that they answer to the legislature, this isn't an "assumption." Individually they have answered to a not very sharp police chief, and the Sergeants-At-Arms of the House and Senate, who are all in the process of resigning because of how badly they recently screwed up, if that's what you mean.
As it is I know of at least three completely different smearing regimes, all incompatible with one another and extremely complicated to implement.

One thing is certain: anything complicated and difficult to implement will, in a large fraction of systems, not be implemented, or be implemented incorrectly, leading to needless hundreds-of-milliseconds disagreements between systems about what time it is.

Drift is absolutely harmless almost everywhere, and easy to correct for in the rare, isolated cases where it is not. The only cases I know of where it matters involve spacecraft, and those certainly are not using UTC internally.
This is excellent reading and a refreshing anit-dote to all the breathless "AI as a silver bullet"/AGI is coming riffs that domiante HN.

This retrospective is also laced with practical takeaways and what is actual ML practice in the real world.
That indeed could work, and it looks like Belkin's Thunderbolt 3 Express Dock HD[1] actually does this. Though in this case, Thunderbolt is limited to just 2 (1 for downstream and 1 for upstream).

I guess the biggest benefit of USB 4 hub is that allows the hub to have more than 2 Thunderbolt ports (the upcoming OWC Thunderbolt hub has 1 upstream and 3 downstream) and no longer have to worry about unplugging a device breaking a chain (usability problem).

> observation of its local electromagnetic radiations during ECDSA signatures

Is there any hardware which is invulnerable to this type of observation?
Oh... I think I got it. 3217-2187 = 1030 anthropogenic in the atmosphere, and 55% will get reabsorbed, so that put us at the 2289 total that won't get reabsorbed. And since we emit 37.1 per year (figure probably out of date), and 45% of that sticks around, we have about 36 years before we go past 2900 (at this rate). Although I'm not sure if that reabsorption is already figured in to the 37.1 figure.
This is exactly what every good fascist says when their opponent speaks at political rallies.

If you can’t see both sides of the coin, why play around at flipping it?
It is just under the title at the top of the article:

Go. Mostly because it keeps things as simple as possible.
As many, many, many people have discovered - investing in startups has as great a risk of losing all your capital (actually, a much greater risk) than investing in a bricks and mortar - the major difference is that there is also a much greater chance of huge returns.

The reality is only 1 in 100 people are likely capable of building a great startup (in the PG sense of "Startup") that succeeds - but there is a huge part of the population that can build out a brick and mortar traditional company.

To put things into perspective, On the App Store, about 3,000 of the 1mm or so apps are capable of supporting a developer in the United states with the Median US Income ($53,800/year).
I know there are people who climb the ladder in the manner in which you state. Is this guy one of them? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing is certain: at the very least, he has the base minimal understanding of the software life cycle, which is always beneficial in a manager. Even one who shirks responsibility for visibility. ;)
Clang currently supports my freedoms more than GCC with its political limitations holding it back.
you're not a top VC firm - nobody is selling you Snapchat shares, so your argument is moot. if you want to invest in every startup looking for a seed investment, you are going to have to invest in a lot of them before one becomes the next snapchat. most VC funds have poor returns or even losses.
Those breeds did not spring into existence from Darwinian evolution. They came about due to selective breeding by humans. Not only would they not survive without human intervention, they wouldn't exist in the first place.

(And standard poodles are actually very intelligent/capable, it's the teacup sized ones that are worthless).
Some might say it looks like a utopian future :)
You can also do this with haproxy. I ran it for a while (I think it was for git). Here is a page about how to do it:

timeout connect 5s
timeout client 50s
timeout server 20s

listen ssl :443

use_backend ssh if !is_ssl
server www-ssl :444

What I meant is, he takes "cancel culture" as self-evident fact, when it's obviously a pretty overloaded term by now (like "fascist"). How could you make cancel culture a topic without specifying exactly what you are criticizing (god forbid even avoid the term altogether...)? That's why Lex is polemic there and not contributing anything really. There is also never even a pro forma attempt at emphasizing with the motivations for cancel-culturing. I mean, if you cannot understand incentives, of course the means feel inappropriate. Sure as hell, there are legit motivations for "cancel culture", but now there are too many cooks involved.

Like, how could you sympathize with spaceflight research spending without talking about possible destinations and why you wanna go to space? Spaceflight, like cancel culture, doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Another reason that's contributing to the shortage is that universities are not emphasizing on it. The university that I went to doesn't even have web development course. There was one experimental summer course, then it never happened again. Even the Android development class went on to become very popular.

So what's left is that those that work in web development are either self trained or goes through one of those dev bootcamps. But people that goes into these programs does not necessarily have a CS background, and to be a "good web programmer", you do need that kind of background.
I believe it's panpsychism to believe so. I definitely do.

If dogs have consciousness, then there is no line between dogs and humans.

If mice have consciousness, then there is no line between mice and dogs.

If bugs have consciousness, then there is no line between bugs and mice.

etc.

Until you get to, say, a rock rolling down a hill to find the low-energy spot, or an electron... Does that have consciousness? Most people would say no, but I would say then, where does "no line" become "line"?

This is a fairly solid proof of panpsychism imo.

edit:

You can go up the chain as well, from the complex (human beings) to the very-complex: groups of friends, to companies, which are collections of human beings, to the global economy, which is a collection of collections of human beings. I think that's as far up as it goes, but it is interesting to think about.
Where I live the Wi-Fi spectrum is already busted. There are several dozen visible access points right now, and if I go outside where no metal shielding is happening I'd probably see 100 or more of them.

And that's just the well-behaving honest Wi-Fi access points, not all the other crap on these frequencies that periodically destroys signal with interference.
That's a good point. I'll add it :)
I think degree of malleability would be the most interesting personality facet to measure.

Anecdotally, I think it varies quite a bit between people and changes over time.
I would like to get into formal methods but I am kind of confused.

What's the difference between TLA+, Coq & Isabelle?

Is there one should I prefer over the other? Or do they individualy satisfy distinctive purposes?
Wow, thanks a lot for the kind words!
A quasi-related anecdote: a place I'd been pretty regularly making pickup orders at over the phone recently asked I pay upfront, read-out-card-number style. (Normally I'd just pay in person when picking up)

Apparently they'd been having too many people place orders and just never come pick them up. It's not exactly "dine-and-dash" but it hurts the restaurant pretty similarly.

Of course, since then I order online from this place, so there's probably some extra service charge they're losing, too.
This entire process needs recorded video proof of packing & opening. Users not abiding will face higher fees etc.
Would definitely use app store rating as a proxy for quality of product over Trustpilot: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/novo-business-banking/id137555... -- 4.7/5 stars and 1.5k reviews vs 2.2/5 and only 39 reviews
Those tools do useful things. Forbidding developers to use arrow function syntax because you need to support IE11 isn't a winning formula.
With proper maintenance it is best possible source of energy in that regions. It's shame "green deal" gained too much hype, proper/safe nuclear energy most sustainable way with good ROI.
Why is more utilization a problem? It means more people are being served by infrastructure. Imagine complaining that more people are going to parks because the city turned a bunch of vacant lots into parks.

In the case of things like roads, rails and bus stops more utilization means more economic activity which is a good thing.
Great, now there's even less reason to do a startup and it's even better to just take a FAANG job.
And because jail is sometimes a bad thing that means we should keep doing the bad thing?

I have seen a couple cases of someone punished for a white collar crime sent to jail, effectively a vacation, while his family suffers terribly.

They punished the wrong person and I feel it's a travesty.

Jail is not the right punishment for nonviolent offenses.
> I assume you trust what Trump says as he’s the biggest supporter of the election fraud

No further than I can throw him, he's ridiculous.

> So when he says there’s election fraud, I don’t believe him.

Thats fair. What are your priors on election fraud in general? Do you think it happens or nah?

> I think another problem is it’s very hard to disprove a negative.

I agree, the system is not set up in order to demonstrate election integrity. Everything is on the basis of trust. So we get this scenario where things look like fraud, but can't be proven to be fraudulent because no one is trying to prevent or catch fraud, and then when people have reasonable suspicions because of this, people say "this is normal" and "you can't prove fraud happened" but when you point out things that suggest fraud may have occurred, there's no way to disprove that.

> It’s unknowable, and therefore comes down to who you trust.

Well that's kind of the point, I don't trust people I don't know. I don't trust people to be honest when no one is looking. I don't trust vote fraudsters to be honest about their behavior. And I think its foolish to expect that they would be.

> If you look up Trump’s factual inaccuracies so far, unless you already have, then you’ll have a clearer picture on which to base your trust.

This doesn't rely on trump's trustworthiness (or lack thereof), but publicly available evidence and the public record.
Use the nuclear battery to charge a secondary lithium battery, and that is the battery that the car actually uses to drive.

Considering cars are typically used for <10% of the day, the battery's static output wattage only needs to be about 1/10 of a car's operational wattage.

Basically when you get home and park your car, it just starts charging on its own from its nuclear battery. Optimize the nuclear battery size to minimize excess. If that battery gets full, release the excess as heat to the ground or sky, and also use some of it to maintain the lithium battery at optimal temperature. It will be only 1/10 of the driving wattage, so it will be much easier to do something with it.

Or plug in the car when you get home and it can power a good fraction of your home.
> FDA: Sure, just make sure to fill out these forms, be sure to send them to us by mail rather than email, and oh, make sure to test against the original SARS to make sure your test doesn't give a false SARS-CoV-19 reading if they patient just has that.

> Laboratory: Uh, sure. Hey, CDC, can I have a sample of SARS to test against?

I've been trying to stay on top of the testing saga, but it's been hard with all the daily changes.

Do you have news links that describe this hypothetical exchange taking place?

EDIT: in particular, the part around the FDA requiring testing against a sample of SARS.
I have two kids actually so I'm quite aware. I was under the impression that Elon didn't have any kids (given his general behavior). Frankly, I'm surprised to learn he not only has children but has lost a child.
For some of the L ones it’s possible to access the H part. So it’s not just a byte (B) it’s the low (L) byte and there is a high (H, just the second byte of the word) you can also get to.

For the high 8 registers it isn’t like that. There is no way to get to the “high” byte.
Why can you grab it only on the corners?
