We have a big problem, then

The main question is if this is related with earthquakes and temporary, or of more permanent nature.
“He’s not uncomfortable and he doesn’t look weird,” Musk said. When the (US Department of Agriculture) came through and inspected our facilities, our monkey facilities, she said it was, like, the nicest monkey facilities she’s ever seen in her entire career”

Is it just me or is Musk sounding a little Trumpian these days?
The free market has a bit of a problem here: A new state of the art fab can cost many $Billions and takes a good 5 years to go into production. Not a lot of companies have this kind of cash on hand or the ability to wait that long to achieve profitability. Also much of the current fab capability (TSMC, Samsung for example) is located in some geopolitically unstable places (Taiwan, South Korea). There's lots of risk to the global economy here.
I wonder if it's another policy violating tweet that lead to ban or the past tweets put in light of the new events. Waiting to know more.
FYI, I subscribed and I like the format, but I will probably unsubscribe because every link goes through a tracking domain instead of directly to the article/comments :(
I own a kindle fire tablet. I wanted to use an app from a competing service, but alas it wasn’t in the Amazon App Store. No problem though, I installed the google store on my tablet, and downloaded it. Side loading would have also worked.

Isn’t this what android users have boasted of for so long to apple fans? There isn’t only one store. In the case of Parlor, you can probably just use a browser even.
I can't remember now if I wrote about it in the book, but settling on a decent library was quite difficult. There's so many, with various trade-offs, and some haven't been updated for years! Platypus is great, a few of my PhD students are using it too. Plenty of respect for the author(s)!

I'm still updating the book every now and again - eventually working towards one of my research directions on neuroevolution. Some of the classical GA's are good teaching vehicles, but as it's a practical book I'd like to move towards the state-of-the-art too :)
I once looked at a loft for sale in a Midwestern city. The owners were moving to some Latin American paradise, according to the realtor. I spent some time researching and discovered they were a husband and wife team winning contracts for utter shit municipal websites. I recall thinking ‘that can’t last when anyone can build a Wordpress site’ but I may have been quite wrong.
Lol, I'm in the middle of doing this - moving from shared hosting to a DO droplet. It is painful. Setting up the server isn't so bad but email is a nightmare. Unfortunately the large email providers are moving to block a lot of smaller servers it seems which might make it harder in the future at present using an SPF seems to get mails through.

DO of course have a Wordpress appliance which makes it pretty easy to set up, if you can manage Wordpress you can do it, so long as you're not concerned with getting in to the details of security of your droplet. It's probably no less secure than a lot of virtual hosting arrangements with 777 access on content folders and such.

[If anyone wants a free $10 credit for DO then feel free to message me.]
There are two kinds of failing. One is to run, and one is to fight.

For a founder who fights hard, they put in the work to make it happen and try various approaches when adversity strikes until they, and their investors, agree they have done everything they can to try to make it fly. That person will get another shot, because investors do realize that this is a gamble but they know that if there had been a way to make it work, this person probably would have found it.

Then there is the founder who never varies from their day one tactics, against advice from advisors, and then decides, when it is clear the company is going no where, to resign and go somewhere else. That person rarely gets a second shot at the prize.

There is a third category of founder who, and this is almost literally true, curls up in the face of all the stress and shuts down. With luck, their investors replace them quickly and they get early treatment to avoid PTSD. Folks rarely talk about them. Their best outcome is to move to a stable, low to moderate responsibility position in a large company.

If you're a fighter, you can get funded as many times as you can afford (remember pre-seed is all on you). If you're a runner you get at most two shots at the game. And if you're not cut out for the life, its important to find that out and deal with it early, even one person taking the short exit, is too many.

3970x almost halves the LLVM compilation time compared to 2990wx using the same core count. I would call that more than incremental performance gain.
I don't. I like nature.
Sure, the kid was confused, but as an adult he shouldn't be.

The kid didn't value the creative side. Is he now as an adult denying the creative part has value?

That's the only way I can take the title.
I do not think that living in a place makes you responsible for e.g. murders done by people you have never met who are in a different place (but aren’t so far away as to be a TOTALLY different place), no.
> weekly scheduled hours being cut back across the board.

So you're saying the minimum wage laws are leading to more jobs? (If everyone works less, then more people must presumably be hired.)
Because every company ever (especially software companies) are all about making moneys and employing 1000s of new employees to curate contents isn't very profitable. They will try to automate everything even if it doesn't work because they know this is the future. Until we have perfected the art, we are stuck with this ridiculous misjudgement by the algorithm because its really, really, dumb.

Even if they do hire actual real human, they hire them as cheap labors, not as legitimate jobs (see Facebook)
There are actual, fact-based debunkings of moon landing conspiracies, creationism, astrology, etc. That was my entire point and what makes these cases different from the evolution controversy or Lysenkoism.

Pretty Awesome. I'd love it even more, if it had auto-complete on the command-line too.
It seems to be a cheap knock-off of the similarly bad marketing of Apple: http://www.apple.com/html5/

In Apple's defense, their demos do work (mainly) in all WebKit based browsers.
For people who aren't up to speed on Abstract Algebra, the analogy to have in mind is:

A: Rectangles and squares are the same things.

B: That isn't correct. All squares are rectangles but the reverse isn't true.

A: I only care about the number of sides the polygon has so for my domain of interest rectangles and squares are equivalent. (Therefore the falsity of the first statement is a minor issue?)
Indeed. And cameras probably also pick up some ionizing radiation of different kinds.
How many of the bots that don't execute JavaScript bother to download the URLs referenced in <script> tags? You can filter all the others easily.
> I agree with the sentiment that I should go find them.

I can sympathize with feeling overwhelmed when searching for similar Issues in a bug database, as I was in a similar situation in the past.

What happend was this: I went to the central starting point of the repo's database (e.g., https://github.com/containers/podman/issues), removed the filters like `is:open` from the search bar, and entered one or two keywords that for me sounded similar to the problem I faced.

As I didn't find any Issues that seemed similar, I just created a new one. Of course, I was worried about creating a possible duplicate, but I figured that it would still be a valuable contribution by adding more keywords (with the maintainers linking my duplicate to the ticket where the problem gets resolved) for others to search for. And last but not least, I thought this would also add additional debugging information for the developers, as well as an indication of the community-wide impact of the problem for the release management team.

In the end, I was quite happy I went this way, because I didn't just make a small impact on a project that would be useful for me, but it also enabled me to connect to the amazing people that build the tools I use on a daily basis.

I hope that you can also find a way that gives you some happiness in dealing with your situation, yobert.
Beautifully said! Also feel free to reach out to info@bristlehealth.com with any specific questions - we’ll get back to you.
I do totally agree. In my point of view, Bitcoin was intended to be a currency, not a tool to invest with. It's important to remind that to all the newbies that see Bitcoin as a "magic technology."
> Given how opinionated the Python maintainers can be, it baffles me that they accepted to get these optional, noisy, half backed type hints into the core language

Guido joined the Mypy team while he was Python’s BDFL.

Also, there’s nothing half baked about either Python’s type hints or Python’s type system, or it's major type checkers. It's not Haskell, sure, but it's an expressive to system, the typecheckers are reasonably smart, and the annotations are readable and sensible if somewhat verbose; there were some infelicities regarding alternate names for core types in annotations, but that's been improved recently.

> In my experience given that they're optional and you'll almost never get 100% of your code and its dependencies with correct and up to date signatures it's just a nuisance

In my experience they start to provide value in preventing bugs and easing development because of tooling support way below 100% coverage.

> If at least it triggered an assertion at runtime when the type doesn't match it would be massively more useful.

Python’s type annotations are annotations, and are used by some libraries for runtime (validation, serialization/deserialization, etc
) as well as static checking purposes (e.g., pydantic.)

> And even then, if you're so thorough with your typing, why not just use a proper statically typed language?

All a “proper statically typed” language is is a language with a static type checker run ahead of time, which Python is of you choose it to be. There's a lot of code in the ecosystem that is more broadly types than it needs to be, because no annotated code which checkers can't infer anything better for use Any, but that's evolving over time as it is more common for popular libraries to be typed, or at least have typings available.
This is not how U2F works. The sites never see the device's long-term public key.

Thanks, that is an interesting point about sentencing that I was not aware of. It is interesting that in the prison population, White groups are under-represented (compared to the population), but it is also true that females are under-represented. [1]. I agree that it is partly about how data are segmented, and probably also about equity is considered (i.e. in the process of sentencing vs across the life course).

I concede the point about sentencing (but not incarceration rates), I suppose some other examples of the institutional sexism and racism I was thinking of would be things like:

- There is a broad gender pay gap (14 to 24%) across the US workforce, even when controlling for variables such as part-time work and parenthood[2]
- Fortunte 500 CEOs are 70% white male, whereas the US population is about ~36% male, (based 73% white total). [3]
- Government over-represents white males, e.g. about 78% of the House/Senate combined are White and and 24% women [4,5], although this is getting better

My worry is that (political party notwithstanding) some people will interpret single incidents like this as evidence of broad "reverse discrimination." While that is true in this single incident, it does not seem to be true in society considered more holistically.

Thanks again for pointing this out.

On the other hand not every transaction runs on-chain, the amount of Bitcoins that can be mined is limited and it's actually a "full stack" financial system including clearing and central banking.

This article gives another point of view: https://www.coindesk.com/what-bloomberg-gets-wrong-about-bit...

Some arguments are a bit far-fetched, I wish there was some overview article taking all these points into account. These kinds of footprint analyses are quite novel anyway and of course don't exist yet for Bitcoin in the most convincing fashion.
Watterson stated many times that he was nothing like Calvin and his parents were nothing like that either. He just built the characters and then progressively explored their relationships as a way of reflecting on the pressures of modern society. It just so happened that he was exceedingly good at building realistic personalities.

Personally, C&H probably kept me alive as a teenager. When I was questioning the point of it all, Calvin’s sense of wonder and fearlessness injected some happiness into me, and I wished so hard that I could have been more like him growing up. I read a lot of it with my kids when they were very small, and then let them alone with it as they started reading on their own. They embraced the methods of Calvinball, which melts my heart when I watch them play. To them Calvin’s parents are silly in their worrying about worthless stuff like “washing”. If you didn’t notice certain things while reading it as a kid, chances are your child won’t either; that’s one of the marvels of this strip, like the best art it speaks in different ways to different people at different stages of their lives.
Christophe Grand is very much a part of mainstream Clojure culture. He is currently co-authoring a book on Clojure. Furthermore, he never said that macros are evil and should never be used. I'm tempted to say that Steve may have never even watched the talk in the first place after reading his comments. I was there when that talk was made, and I did not even remotely get the feeling that he was telling me that macros were evil and should never be used. That is totally missing the point.
You sir, are a Godsend. Kudos to you.
Why would this be awesome?
IntelliJ and NetBeans are both really good IDEs. I'm a NetBeans fan and I prefer having several projects open at a time. With intelliJ you can have only one project open.

And also as a maven guy I prefer NetBeans. E.g. download sources + javadocs is done with one click for dependencies of your project.
Engines - Removed

Generators and Pumps - Generally unserviceable or not working

Doesn't quite seem so seaworthy now, eh? If the Royal Navy wanted to sell it as a ship, they would have sold it to an allied country; in fact, there were plans to sell it to Australia in the 80's, but the Falkland Islands War queered the deal.

The carrier isn't tremendously useful though--it can only carry helicopters and Harriers, not full aircraft.
I want a Macbook Pro (not McBook Pro) 15 in, 2.8Ghz, with 8GB RAM, Geforce 330GT 512 GDDR3 RAM and 500GB SSD HHD. It ouwld cost only about 4000 including Apple-tax
Kubestack maintainer here. Happy to answer any questions HN may have.
Yeah it's a cute story but it's off the mark because more often than not nowadays the mainstream journalists ARE the rich and powerful.

If you want to see journalists actually performing the role of being checks on power, go to the third world. Bankrolled journalism isn't true journalism.
Seems like they scrape social media, they say "We use our behavior-based Customer Satisfaction Algorithm™ to gather customer reviews, comments and opinions across a wide range of social media sites to help you make an informed buying decision."

if you click the question mark next to the number here: https://reviews.financesonline.com/p/libreoffice/

I would not bet on that number being at all reliable based on their vague description.
> I don't understand comments that pretend as if remote work is going to force everyone to "work from the suburbs".

I mentioned the suburbs because the comparison you setup was suburbs vs expensive city life. I was critiquing the flawed comparison.

> Areas that are very dense in tech aren't ideal for dating. Tech is male-dominated, so if your preferred partner is female, you will find dating in Silicon Valley quite challenging.

I was making the point about expensive cities more generally. Other similar areas such as London and NYC don't have that issue.

There's also the advantages of actually being in an office. Having structure enforced by a physical separation, the social aspect of being in an office etc. Those aren't valuable to everyone but to many they're incredibly valuable.
Theory says it should cost some multiple of whatever revenue they’re making on it y/y now. And it’d be worth it if the buyer knew they could grow that revenue substantially compared to interest rates.
> So was this tried somewhere and that’s what happened? Or are you just making it up?

It’s been tried in America. The idea that we’ll have Scandinavian-style benefits without raising taxes on “middle class people” (defined to include people making as much money as five median households) is the centerpiece of the platform of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, which has tremendous media visibility. Everyone acts like someone else will pay the $30 trillion price tag for Medicare for All, etc.
We don't have to have Bitcoin. Its existence is a choice that humans make. We could remunerate everybody who bought in with an amnesty program which allows folks to get rid of BTC for cash, and then switch off all nodes.

In general, rogue AIs will not be more capable or powerful than humans. Assuming otherwise is religious FUD, and the burden of proof is on the religious believer to show why their AI god is inevitable.
Also, in a saner timeline, Turing might have well received the Fields medal.

His contributions to probability theory, and morphogenesis are amazing in addition to being the father of computer science, and codebreaker. All of the work was done before he was 40.

Start by running the project yourself on your local machine, if possible. Go through the documentation and see if something can be improved: documentation is an overlooked aspect but key for a good projcet. Helping on improving documentation is mostly welcome.

By reading and improving documentation you get to better know the project. Give it a try on you machine and interact with it. If you have not seen something that can be improved technically, go to the "issues" page and see what are the bugs I there, sometimes owners tag some of the issues as "good first bug", those are easy to tackle and help you get to setup a development environment for the project. Helping on Open source does not require you to be smart, dedication and willingness to help is more important most of the time.

Yes, we can blame Facebook for not allowing export of emails. Several people on here have said that Facebook has learned their name (and some other information) without them having an account.

If Facebook does X using other companies' data, Facebook should allow other companies to do X using their data.
Go to https://www.linode.com instead. They've got a wildcard SSL certificate for *.linode.com, which will not work (and has never worked) without a subdomain like "www".
But engineers (who you compared them to on a per month basis) regularly get 12 months of work, so they aren't comparable.
Doing all those things in context. Imagine the client logging in, and on the About Us page pressing "Add Content". Then chosing "Insert a map" from a drop down of content types. A resizeble map container appears on the site. The client searches or drags the map into the right location and presses "save". Then he publishes the page.
There are a lot of dynamics and feedback loops at play here. It is a sad situation and I really do not know what can be done at this point...
Mixed Integer programming IS a multi-constraint optimization NP hard problem. Use Gurobi.
I've done a fair bit of work interfacing memory managed languages like Java & Python with "unsafe" native code and found that this problem actually crops up often.

The first issue is that finalizers should NEVER be relied upon to clean up system resources the way that you might in a language with deterministic garbage collection like C++. Instead, expect clients of interfaces that use system resources to manually call some 'close' like method. Use finalizers to warn clients that they are leaking. Josh Bloch has an excellent writeup on this[†]:

http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1216151&seqN...

The second thing, as I believe @btown is saying, is that the child object seems to depend on memory that it doesn't own a strong reference to. I bet the whole memory graph here is just a tangled mess. I used to think that that was just the nature of graphs. When I first started working with GC that couldn't handle these kind of cyclical structures without being explicitly told I thought that it was an absurd premature optimization. Then, this wise old hacker peered at my code, smacked me on the back of the head, and grumbled that if I couldn't clearly explain the reference hierarchy it wasn't just the software that would be befuddled, it was too complicated for his old brain as well.

I'm sure that this can't be true, but I am starting to suspect that all the tremendous work that has gone into fast pause-less concurrent GC has been for naught. I wish that when GC encountered a cycle it would just tell the programmer that they now have a leak, maybe even suggest where it could be fixed with one of those neat little IDE quick fixes, and continue chugging along.

tl;dr When you have a hard problem let someone else deal with it.

[†] Granted, Bloch does make an exception for 'native peers'. My understanding of that pattern, however, is that the key is not letting some other object walk off with a reference to your peer, which is exactly what has gone wrong here.

(Aside: Josh Bloch's Effective Java & Java Puzzlers are fantastic. They are worth reading for programmers who use any language.)
It was from 2 years ago i.e. early Java 7 days.

There have been 116 updates since then (33 public). Given that segfaults almost never happen in the JVM (I've never seen one) I can imagine it would be the highest priority to be fixed.
I think in general it has. The cost function for labor has kind of bottomed out. Demand is so low in comparison to supply.
I watched some classes on MIT OpenCourseWare and was blown by the fact that they use chalk boards (!). I mean, one of the best universities in the world use the same tools as mine: a teacher, chairs and a chalk board. Don't that make us think about how important is the culture, the environment of those famous institutions. It's not about tools, it's all about people.
Great!!!!! In Windows you can go to More tools->Create application Shortcuts
I spend very little of my time doing code review. I should be spending quite a bit more, but the company I work for is still pretty small (although growing quite fast) we just don't have the resources at the moment to be reviewing everything.
He is saying that real time text translation has been there. Microsoft has the translator app that will display the translated text as an "augmented" overlay when you hold the camera up.
Thanks for your reply! Spanning looks good but charges $40/user/year whereas I'm looking for a one-time fee solution.
