Well sure, that's why they use nitromethanol (which is worse in kJ/kg than gasoline, but it contains an oxidizer) and ridiculous engines.

But "efficiency" in the context of engines usually means energy conversion efficiency. And power-to-weight ratio is what you mean.

Websites don't go yellow as they get older, and it's really common for data from 10 years ago to seamlessly update so it looks like it was posted yesterday.

If you don't date your articles, they're of casual interest only, because I can't be sure they're current enough to use them as the basis for decisions.

> The best police officer and the best teacher in the entire United States are paid identically to the worst, most abusive ones.

The idea that all teachers and police officers in the US are paid exactly the same is wildly untrue. The pay for both those jobs varies based on all sorts of factors, especially including location and job title.
That trial deactivated a gene (causing a different one to be more active).

This trial is inserting/editing a gene.
There are pros and cons of each media, I'm not arguing against it. What I mean is that there's a general tendency of migration from longer versions( books) to more compact,bite size content(videos). It's one of the reasons why there's countless videos on YouTube on how to create a dictionary in Python,even though the documentation has it covered wide and deep.
If you're talking about the recipes, it's open source in that it's public domain. Or it's not open source, because it can't be copyrighted and therefore all the frameworks that allow for open source don't apply. [1]

This is actually _really, really interesting_ and could spur some really great discussion, so I was ready to check out the HN comments only to find... griping about recipe sites. Ctrl+F 'Open Source' to find this comment. Man, HN sucks.

They don't have that information about you. From the bottom of that page:

"The Find My network extends these capabilities by locating missing devices even if they can’t or don’t connect to the internet. The Find My network is a crowdsourced network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that use Bluetooth wireless technology to detect missing devices or items nearby, and report their approximate location back to the owner. The entire process is end-to-end encrypted and anonymous, so no one else, not even Apple or the third-party manufacturer, can view a device’s location or information."
In theory yes. It's just a bit too far to commute. and there are lot of industries that think "to be a real player in this industry we HAVE to be located in NYC (or DC)". But there is no industry that thinks that of Philly. So it ends up with just small regional versions of most industries. Very unfortunate given that the housing prices are far lower than NY or DC area.
Seems like the API is fine. The documentation and PHP implementation are your real complaints here. Amazon docs are always utter garbage, so no surprise there.

If it bothers you so much, get a 3rd-party lib and consume the web API directly.

The real title should be, "How not to support an API".
I promise you that your company doesn't feel the same about you (or any of your coworkers, for that matter). When it comes to employment, loyalty died out many years ago.
Yeah, but the 100ms/1% version is more or less acceptable - some client-side smoothing would completely conceal those artifacts. It was at 250ms/5% that things really started to fall apart.

I'd say that 1% packet loss is high, and the most likely reason why you'd have packet loss rates that high is because your network link is congested - in which case, sending more packets is the exact opposite of what you want to do.

High latency, high packet loss, spare available bandwidth. I can think of lots of scenarios where you have two out of three of those things. I can't think of any where you get all three, and this idea only seems useful when you have all of them.
"Equal opportunity jerk" seems alright at first thought, but when you consider that people of different races/genders have different social standing, it's clear that some people will be disproportionately affected by others being "equal opportunity jerks".

Plus, being an "equal opportunity jerk" is not a good policy at all — it's downright abusive. No one should be verbally berated in public for writing code that's not up to the maintainer's snuff.
Amazon's Kindle Fire naming is equally painful. There's a Fire HD 7 and a Fire HD 7". Try buying accessories for the right one.
When I have a box open with a single file, I don't see my current file, which is out of the box, in the top bar.

Upon closing the box, the file appeared. Felt confusing to me.

Here's an analysis of how these rumored changes will affect apps of various sizes.

tl;dr : Current paying customers will see a discount of up to 30%. Current freeloaders will have to pay $84/year for functionality equivalent to what they get now.

Anyone who is technical enough to use Heroku effectively can charge AT LEAST $84/hour for their time, meaning that they'd need to move to a new solution in less than an hour to save money. All the hand wringing is very silly.
Every item on my list is a red flag that the company is poorly managed. Poorly managed startups are less likely to succeed, and thus more likely to waste my time and not pay me for it (if the equity becomes worthless.)

You can call that entitled, I call it experienced enough not to be a sucker.

That you think I'm an asshole for listing red flags that indicate systemic problems in companies, in my opinion, reveals more about yourself than me.
I don't know that much about it, but I've heard more than a few complains that the military treats married servicemen and women so much better than single ones in terms of housing and benefits that it creates a huge incentive to marry pretty much anybody with a pulse just to get those benefits. Naturally this ends in quite a few miserable marriages and messy divorces.
How many years now has that NOT been a thing?
That's just not effective. You don't really have the same leverage when unemployed or looking for a new job.
"Our" reliance, in this case, is Saudi Arabia's. They live in a desert that won't produce enough sheep/meat for their pots.

In some senses, this is not new for the region. Meat was produced locally, but rice and wheat have been the main staples for thousands of years. They don't grow in deserts (before irrigation).

There are lots of very ancient cities in the deep deserts of the Middle East.. places that don't produce much food. Petra is a striking one. They've been eating store bought, imported food since before europe existed.
I'm sure it would be possible to transport animals more gently. Banning live animal transport altogether sounds like an overreaction.
I think you’re reasoning is sound,
I’m also dismayed to think of people who would deprive their child of SOUND.

That should be a jail-able offense, assuming they are making a decision that can’t be undone.
The pertinent question is "why live?" Live transports are (for example) the biggest animal welfare issue for kiwi sheep.
I once posted a story about Google and privacy violations and it reached #1 spot on HN but after about 30 min at the top spot it suddenly moved to page 2. I got the impression that Google somehow has power over ranking here. It could be through reporting by Google employees. But the title of the post was edited too, along with the demotion.
It comes across to me as quite puritanical.

There's hardly a single word in existence that can't be turned into an innuendo, or sound the same as a rude or funny word in another language.

If you want to reinforce the notion that cock can only mean penis, this is one hell of a way to do it! Meanwhile, cock is a common term of affection in Northern England ("Cheers, cock", although it might sound more like 'cyock') and also features in the name of countless pubs.

It's one of those things that says more about the accusers.
Guile rund om a modified version of lightning 1 (called lightening for maximum confusion) due to the recent version being more heavy weight.

It is a part of the recent JITted 3.0 release, which brought a lot better performance to the already completely OK 2.2 branch.
We've asked you many times to stop using HN for ideological battle. Since you've ignored those requests and done even more of it, I've banned this account.

They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

As for "SJW group think", that sort of generalization is entirely determined by your own priors. The opposite side has different priors and sees HN in exactly the opposite way. Both views are not only imaginary, they're actually the same phenomenon with just one bit flipped.

>We're not discussing the existence of technology, we're discussing the creation of technology.

Which is exactly what I discussed. Again, you seem to think that only lower component parts are technology (e.g the CPU itself). And you think that building a product that utilises disparate component parts (and needs tons of other engineering decisions besides) is not "creation of technology". I believe this is wrong.

>If this distinction were not important, anyone who acquired a computer could claim to be its creator. If this distinction were not important, someone who put a computer in a box would be equal to someone who invented binary arithmetic.

Apple is not a company who "acquires computers". It designs and builds them, including solving tons of engineering problems in the process. That it doesn't (usually) build the low level component parts its beside the point. Technology is modular.

I also pointed out, which you conventiently sidestepped, that Apple also creates their very own products, from designing logic boards and dedicated processsing units, to software such as Logic, FCPX, iWork etc. They don't just buy some Intel cpus, some Samsung disks and some X brand memory, slap it together and call it a day.

>It means someone else had the education and creativity to invent something for Steve Jobs to sell, to call "fantastic" to crowds of eager consumers, to import into his reality distortion field. The same reality distortion field that makes you think selling equals creating.

You continue to use the word selling, as if the products appeared by magic or trucks, and Jobs just had to sell them. You forgot the part were Apple, the company he run, isn't Best Buy (a seller), but the actual creator of the products it sells.

Jobs didn't just sell stuff. That would be Jeff Bezos, or the Walmart guy. He was the CEO, and quite the micromanaging product manager in the company (actually, companies) that also designed and build those products.

He was the CEO of a tech company. Not the CEO of a reseller chain. And, yes, he wasn't an engineer himself. Technology, as available to the people, is not created by engineers alone, especially in the form of final products.

And engineers don't just work in isolation and deliver their stuff ready for manufacture to some sales guy. They take directions, advice, suggested changes to how stuff works, etc, from a product manager guy -- and Jobs was very much hands on with such things. For the mere selling of stuff, Apple had Cook and top level retail managers on board.

After all, you sure know that Steve Jobs had got the "Vollum Award for Distinguished Accomplishment in Science and Technology, Oregon's most prestigious academic honor"? How come they didn't just give him the "sales" award? Perhaps they see the bigger picture and understand that accomplishing stuff in technology is not just about the guy in the lab?

I know what you're painting the "those non-engineering higher-ups take the praise for our engineering work" angle, but I don't consider it accurate. It belittles the contribution of higher level execs to see them as mere "sales" guys. Of course, it's all to common a point of view in lab guys.
Borders are not a mental concept. They are empirically verifiable things (testable by walking across one and dodging the resulting bullets). The fact that you don't believe in them doesn't make them go away.
Ah, but at 12.02 seconds after 8:21 pm it was:

which is a palindrome if you ignore the punctuation.
I am more of a square than an I, T, or Fat I. I have vast knowledge about a lot of stuff. I am very knowledgeable about every engineering aspect of my field (video games) and can be integrated and lead any team in the stack.
Related to this, I typically advocate for the daily stand-up close to mid day so that more work gets time to "sleep on it" and then a chance to add any insights that came to you during the off time. I seem to do better features and code over two work sessions than in one long continuous day.
There is so much in that article that makes me shudder.

Running Kubernetes on a self driving car/truck? SSH-ing into a self driving truck? Both of those statements cause me to shudder at the thought.

Maybe it's just my julia indoctrination speaking but I find that rather ugly.

In julia, f!(types)(parameter) means that f! is a mutating function acting on types which returns a closure which is then called on parameter.

We just write Type{paramemer}
For the note, Sciter (https://sciter.com) and Sciter.JS support inline vector images in its CSS.

Instead of SVG and things like FontAwesome in 99% UI cases we use just these

button {
background-image: url(path:M 10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 L 10 10);
fill: red;
}

or

<img src="path:M 10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 L 10 10">
And that’s good.

But they are notorious for being poor at keeping some projects and products alive.

Indeed. This is the "Appeal to Lack of Authority" fallacy [1]

Authority has a reputation for being corrupt and inflexible, and this stereotype has been leveraged by some who assert that their own lack of authority somehow makes them a better authority.

Starling might say of the 9/11 attacks: "Every reputable structural engineer understands how fire caused the Twin Towers to collapse."

Bombo can reply: "I'm not an expert in engineering or anything, I'm just a regular guy asking questions."

Starling: "We should listen to what the people who know what they're talking about have to say."

Bombo: "Someone needs to stand up to these experts."

The idea that not knowing what you're talking about somehow makes you heroic or more reliable is incorrect. More likely, your lack of expertise simply makes you wrong.

If you want a cross-platform secure random source, you can't rely on /dev/urandom existing, so I'm not sure what alternative you're suggesting here.
What did you get back? Anything redacted?
I was unaware of that with the original quoted post from a few weeks ago but it was pointed out when I posted so I included a mention in the last paragraph of my post here.
I think many of us would do the same things and have the same vision as Elon Musk given the chance.

The problem is one of funding, and the fact that acquiring money is not normally correlated with broad vision, and that having money is not normally correlated with executing that vision.

In short, Elon Musk's advantage is that he is an outlier in terms of how he was able to acquire money, and how he is able to control his use of it. Commendable, and the true lesson.
In related news, DuckDuckGo has seen a huge spike in traffic (https://duckduckgo.com/traffic.html). Even if the NSA has probably circumvented DDG's privacy features, it's still worth using them for trying to preserve user privacy. And in my experience, DDG's search results have improved drastically, to the point that I very rarely have to resort to Google.

You'd be amazed what can be done with the latest machine learning algorithms. But setting those aside, you could still get 90% of the way with some relatively basic stuff.

I'd start by identifying the presence of speech—when the user isn't currently speaking, trivial muting is all that's needed. Then the only challenge would be to squelch keyboard noise that overlaps speech. If keyboard input monitoring has enough temporal precision, even the most trivial volume dip (and perhaps a band pass filter) would be a win.

Keyboard input monitoring could also be used to continuously tune the algorithm to the loudness of the keyboard noise. Any key press occurring in sonic isolation could be used. Then when there's keyboard noise which overlaps speech, the algorithm will know how much to squelch.
No, SHA-256, the way you use it, is not "far too slow for brute-force".

To anyone reading here: Please do yourselves a favor and stay away from BOTH SuperGenPass and from this one.

They are nearly equivalent to using the same password for every website. A malicious website owner can derive your "master password" from the hash that you gave them and thereby gain access to all your websites.

So the burp log analyzed certain statistics about cookies and url segments. Nowadays there might be ways to do that within burp. Could also look for secrets in bodies.

The report one combines all elements of a pen test report including descriptive articles (e.g., what are CSRF, clickjacking, secure headers, and the like), one page for each vulnerability. These pages would include severity, impact, CVE links and CWE links, whether the vuln is closed, open, or risk accepted. Included is a tally of vulns by severity. A glossary of terms is also included. At the end is the glossary and index. A table of contents of course is at the beginning.

One improvement is a pie chary of vulnerabilities.

The lisp program generates LaTeX and references the article document type. Vastly simplified generating the report as the test went along. Document was one unit and no paring was required.
> So for me as a consumer, I can either press the button in a taxi app, and typically get a nice Mercedes or similar, with taxi plates, with a licensed taxi driver, properly insured, connected to a real taxi company with customer service representatives that I can call
if anything goes wrong.

> Or, I can press the button in Uber, pay the same money, but get a dude in his Toyota. Oh, and if the dude doesn't like me as a customer, he can downvote me, which results in me getting worse service in the future.

Just to be precise, the dude in a Toyota will also be a licensed driver with taxi plates with their stuff in order, although exactly to the limit of the legal requirements.

They've just realized that in general very few customers care if the car is a new Mercedes or a new Kia hybrid. The only thing which matters is the cost at the time of pressing the button.
This is correct. Many highly efficient language learners, like polyglots who learn languages as a hobby, know about this forgotten wisdom.

Along those lines, there's a small French 100+ year old language learning company called Assimil [1]. They're universally beloved by polyglots [2] [3]. They make courses out of clever dialogues with your First Language on one side and your Target Language on the other. The courses come with audio for your Target Language. They're cheap, around $50-$100, and packed with enough information to bring a total novice to respectable intermediate status.

I used their English-Spanish course to learn Spanish extremely quickly. After a few months of study, I was able to watch native Spanish TV programs with Spanish subtitles and understand 80-90% of them. I would emphatically recommend their method to anyone. I am not affiliated in any way with the company.

There's also the Listening-Reading method, which many polyglots swear by, once you've gotten your bearings in your Target Language. It's a rigorous but fun method of learning your Target Language by enjoying audiobooks of your choice.

Incidentally, it is wise, if you're serious about learning a language quickly, to seek polyglot forums and to use their accumulated knowledge to smooth the path ahead of you.

Not ... a ... chance.

You go through the normal change process like everybody else.

There is no such thing as a "safe" change.

The only exception to this is when stuff is on fire, and, practically by definition at that point, there is no such thing as a "safe" change.
Yep, yours is probably different from physicists' mental experiences, not software developers'. One thing I've learned from discussions about physics is that the thought processes that are common to software development are largely foreign in the realm of physics.

Take for example Einstein's Relativity of Simultaneity thought experiment. [1] This is akin to discussion about a bug among software developers. Like developers can agree that a bug exists after discussion alone, a software developer could read the thought experiment and conclude there's a bug in physics (i.e. the general consensus at the time). But physicists don't seem to work that way. In discussions with many super smart physics-minded people, I've found that most reject that thought experiment, nay any thought experiment, as having value. Only a mathematically-based argument suffices for them. Imagine showing software bugs only mathematically!
