I'm in the middle of a programming boot camp where they just blaze from topic to topic to topic, we never do any considerable project work to nail any of it down, and even though they state clearly "you need to be studying outside of this class", I know a bunch of students won't because it's 12 hours a week and billed as something you can do on top of a full time job.

So once these people graduate, OF COURSE they're going to stumble over for loops and if statements; the only think they know is how to follow along in vs code while someone builds a react app over zoom.
But breathing through a vacuum cleaner bag is too hard.

Still, it might work if you did a radical pleat. I'll try it.

As I recall, two layers of cotton t-shirt is the best option.

The thing is, this "personal device" is quite capable of performing industrial tasks. It has great processing power, communication capabilities, storage and big battery.

The only thing that prevents me from doing that is a set of restrictions imposed on me by Apple, and no, being a "registered developer" won't help me run a webserver on an iPad.

Even Microsoft in their worst phase allowed users to do more with theirs PCs!
Activating core engineers to build field offices which they are trained to do. Getting factories to build paper masks for the public. Getting the car manufactures to build ventilators. Getting money and supplies to the hospitals. Activating the reserves to setup drive through testing in every major city.
A surprising amount of my enjoyment of DCSS comes from seeing it as a dialogue with NetHack -- for the first few months I played, I kept thinking 'ohh, yes, that mechanic is obviously a rejection of the baroque [intrinsics|identification metagame|whatever else] mechanic'.
The enemy intents is an amazing feature and definitely turns it from a card game into a puzzle game. Every turn is a puzzle to solve, it's great.
Good to see hard data supporting this, but this was always obviously the case. Only reason there was even a conversation was because Airbnb lobbied and placed ads in specific markets to mislead renters about their economic impact.
Which stones did you compare it to? The stones available in the shop? That's the problem -- there are cheaper alternatives that have a shine comparable to diamonds, but not very widely available in brick and mortar stores. You were kind of had by salesman gimmicks.
Why would you want to install _any_ editor on a router? If you can ssh into it, you can use Tramp to edit files on it in your full-sized Emacs session, and save what must be scarce storage space on the router besides.
It's not exactly rocket science to figure out that people crying are unhappy about something and need comforting. Later, babies learn to fake crying, but when they're really small it is a really good idea to check on them.
If you want it, there are plugins for every major browser that will automatically infinite-scroll-itize every site on your behalf.
>it was all Yay and Abstains.

not surprising. Voting nay would be political suicide.
Intelligent life (at least, life which can build civilisation) has not experienced extinction events on earth before. If the current extinction event caused by climate change eventually includes the extinction of humans, which is becoming increasingly likely, it will be impossible for any future intelligent lifeforms to build civilisations. We have already extracted all of the easily-obtained resources that more primitive civilisations would require in order to develop.
Proxy wars are easier to avoid escalation. I suspect that's one of the main reasons for them.
I'm trying to find a way to give a meaningful reply, but I honestly get stuck on this part about academia's supposed neutrality. I don't believe for a second that sociologists are somehow blissfully unaware of the way their work is used to shape policy, to shape debate, and even to shape the language itself, nor that they are somehow angels who can't have impure motives. In addition, it's common knowledge that petty political in-fighting is the rule in academia. There's no reason at all to think that academics are neutral in any way, but plenty of reasons not to.
> There should be no commercial property or residential high-rise that does not have the following:

> Every building should incorporate underground parking, and no residential building should have tenants on the ground floor and at ground level, there should be commercial space (bakeries, shops, etc.)

I agree with that, but this ...

> But every building project should include parking.

Mandatory parking minimums are a big problem - especially in dense areas with good transit access. They drive up the cost of building significantly [1].

In mixed single/multi family neighborhoods, parking minimums make it difficult for homeowners to add ADUs and other structures that can help achieve higher density via incremental up-zoning.

We should be solving our transit problems by building better transit systems, not by building more housing for cars.

> An F-16 goes for 30 Million USD

The first number in the article is Taiwan purchases 66 F-16 for 8 billions, which gives it 121 mln price tag.
Currently focusing on AWS. Presumably you'd find this useful for Google Cloud too?
There is a lot of great advice here, but I will add two things to consider that haven’t been spoken to.

The first is portability and your personal transportation options. You will want to travel around to observe.

The second is imaging, what camera can you connect. Looking through a telescope is ephemeral and personal, but being able to preserve and share your experience makes it better.
Yes! In alphabetical order no less :)
Superb effort.
It sounds more like a "offline" codec, not a Google service compressing your voice so I don't immediately see how Google would violate our privacy here this time.

So don't work in these industries if the pay isn't good enough. Employers shouldn't be subjecting their employees to illegal working conditions, but neither does anyone owe anyone else a job.
Yeah, AMR (for GSM) is 10ms as well.
Question: Could a COVID-19 vaccine (or any vaccine for that matter) have contagious immunity? In other words, is it possible (at present or in future vaccines) for the safe variation of the virus (or whatever the delivery agent) to be passed from person to person?

I understand that without symptoms like coughing or sneezing, the vector for spreading would be relatively limited, but I have to imagine it's still possible (even commonplace) for healthy individuals to effectively spread bacteria/viruses (even harmless ones).

If it is possible, what are the chances of that happening unintentionally? Would it be ethical to engineer a vaccine to intentionally do that?

I'm not trying to imply that's what's happening now - but I am curious.
I've been doing this for 20 years now...

Surprisingly, the recruiters are starting to answer "sure - no problem..." :-)
Simple chan deadlocks, lifelocks or loops will do that for you.
Hi HN,
I already post a show HN for my side project few weeks ago. Today, I am happy to show the project again with many feature which I worked hard to make it.

- Media card which mean you can embedded photo/audio to the card

- Cloze Detection allow to create `fill in the blank` card

- Quiz Practice mode: help to practice quiz better, please reference [1] as an example

- Schema file which help user can quickly declare deck file in their repository.

Please check it out and give me some feedback. Thanks

I don't think it is discussing encoding time in the article, it says "features are extracted in chunks of 40ms". My reading is that its breaking down the speech into 40ms chunks, compressing it, and sending that.
As typical of many of these writers, he's clearly showing his bias when looking at the world (namely, from a secular Western sense). The fact that it is failing in the current secular societies does not mean that it is ineffective in other societies, or that it is in itself bad. We don't have the problems he listed in Islam for example.

> but that isn’t the case in capital punishment as someone in custody is no longer a mortal threat to society.

It's not just about being a threat, it's about justice.
CMDF (DES w/ 40-bit keys), too.
Yep. The article is the first time I've ever learned what Pinterest actually is. I'm not going to commit to an account before I know what something is - signup walls prevent me from educating myself.
The site is now practically unusable or explorable in a non logged in state. Not sure when this change took place, but almost every page will prevent the user from exploring the site, whether it's performing a search, clicking a photo or a member's name. The only one that doesn't restrict further actions is giant banner that takes up a quarter of the screen [1]. Nothing turns me off faster.

What are some examples of startups that failed because the idea was indeed "too-good-to-be-true"?
Most semiconductor production processes like etching, doping, polish etc are done on the full wafer, not on individual images/fields. So there is nothing to be gained there in terms of production efficiency.

The litho step could in theory be optimized by skipping incomplete fields at the edges, but the reduction in exposure time would be relatively small, especially for smaller designs that fit multiple chips within a single image field. I imagine it would als introduce yield risk because of things like uneven wafer stress & temperature, higher variability in stage move time when stepping edge fields vs center fields, etc.
I dunno how Reuters works, but afaik in newspapers it’s often different people that write the article and who decide what the title will be. So if Reuters is anything like that then 5 people may not have had much to do with the title.
I didn't see much clarity on this issue in either part. Furthermore, the responses to my post are evenly split too:
bdcravens, mrow84, chaostheory and twisties vs monk_e_boy, rayiner and x0x0.
The MongoDB developers were morons. They used mmap poorly and gained none of its potential advantages. Their incompetence and failures are not an indictment against using mmap.

For as long as computers and databases have existed, there has been a war between DB designers and OS designers, with DB designers always claiming they have better knowledge of workloads than OS designers. That can only ever possibly be true when the DB is the only process running on the machine. Whenever anything else is also running on the machine that claim can not possibly be true.

Reality today is that nobody runs on dedicated machines. Everyone runs on "the cloud" where all hardware is shared with an unknown and arbitrary number of other users.
Ghost (https://ghost.org/) has many themes that can be considered brochure-ware. The editing is in Markdown.
What's "Trello" about Trello is more than just movable notes, as the GP mentioned.

It's customer support, it's the silly but engaging "power-ups" and all the additional work put in after making movable notes.

A more accurate title: How to make the movable notes feature of Trello (not as catchy, though).
Does it encourage every team and every dev to create their own custom config that takes two hours to figure out like Gradle, or is it more like Maven where you only specify anything that isn't bog standard?

That site is a scam. The listed email address does not exist and I have not received a book.
>Everyone knew it was fake, but because no one had any alternative vision for a different kind of society, they just accepted this sense of total fakeness as normal. And this historian, Alexei Yurchak, coined the phrase “HyperNormalisation” to describe that feeling.

>I thought “that’s a brilliant title” because, although we are not in any way really like the Soviet Union, there is a similar feeling in our present day. Everyone in my country and in America and throughout Europe knows that the system that they are living under isn’t working as it is supposed to; that there is a lot of corruption at the top. But whenever the journalists point it out, everyone goes “Wow that’s terrible!” and then nothing happens and the system remains the same.

That's a brilliant description of our current system. I'm just worried that our hypernormalization won't last as long as the Soviet one.
This is not what constructivity means in mathematics.
My mum had never used the internet by herself, she's 81. My dad occasionally uses email if I send him photos of the kids (maybe a couple of times a month). He might use a web page to book a hotel a few times a year. That's it. I'm pretty sure he isn't "missing out" as such. They are both active and fit and have hobbies and friends around the country that they visit normally.
I'm curious, you mention "outrage quotient" and "measurable improvement".

How do you measure outrage?
This article is unimaginably bleak. Fascinating, morbid, and just plain gruesome. I wonder how long until descendants of ours look back on our existence with similar gut-wrenching sensations of "that's...evil" .
> because while you bear the costs of training, your competitors can then poach your trained employees by offering a salary that is less than your total cost for that employee but more than the salary you pay that employee

I tell everyone that in this day and age, the company is not loyal to you -- they will get rid of you very easily if they need to, and so you should not be loyal to them. However, if the company starts investing in you, training you, then you should be loyal to that company. I would't go to a competitor that pays higher in this case (if they pay higher than 2(X + Y), consider it :)).
I am going to look into the community college option for sure and I believe I could handle it with a part time job (if it was more than minimum wage, I think). Financial aid is a good thing too that I will look into once I move forward with the option. Thank you
apply for any technical job at a normal company, or any job at a technical company(as long as it is something you can actually do). Things are much easier once you are on the inside.
>At some point in a long living project, you have to declare some bugs are #wontfix

Sure. Those are your absolute failures though, and should be regarded as any other failure by your team. When they're "won't fix because it's icky/not fun/goes against our prior fundamental assumptions", at least.

Tell HN: It's your fucking life, do what the fuck makes you happy.

If you find being an undergrad painful and you're bored to tears, and you're only doing it is because your parents and peers tell you you'll end up as a janitor without that piece of paper, and you're literally itching to get into the 'real world', drop the fuck out and work on that startup.

If you're fascinated with Viking Poetry, and it's all you can think about, and people are telling you what a waste of money that Viking Poetry PhD is, tell them to fuck off and get that PhD anyway.

If you wanna be an actor, move to NY or LA, get a job as a waiter, and bust your fucking ass working on your craft. Don't stay at home and get that HR degree from University of Phoenix.

Both this post and the "X isn't worth it in the long run" articles it's responding to make the same mistakes. Assuming everyone has the same path in life. I think ultimately, deep down, all the posters want you to chase YOUR dream. But instead they take their dreams or their choices and find evidence prove to themselves that it's the right choice. And it probably is the right choice for them. It may or may not be the right choice for you.

As long as you're making the choices because that's what you really want, and not out of fear, they're the right choices. So yeah, if the only reason you didn't go to college was because your high-school sweetheart was a year younger, you made the wrong choice.

Why am I a software professional? Not because it pays well, but that sure helps. It's because I used to sit mesmerized in front of a computer typing in code from magazines, amazed that they followed my commands. It's because even before I had a computer to type the code into, I used to read the same code listings in the books, fascinated by them, even though I couldn't even run them. I didn't read the Economist's list of hot-fucking-jobs-for-the-next-ten-years and pick the top item on the list.
I'm surprised he used a biological explanation, which I find to be faulty. I would have guessed that the growth and evolution of a city is more like that of a star. Every city lies somewhere along a "hertszprung-russell" diagram of urbanity.
What he said... I'll also add, that it's written for Javascript should not be understated - not only is it one of the most widely used and accessible languages around, but I'd wager no other platform has the amount of competitive development that Javascript does - right now - with a slew of engines that improve in performance by magnitudes year after year.

I don't know why Ryan didn't just call it Node. I think most people are thrown off by the .js.
This is sort of the shadow case for Basecamp and what have you.

Incidentally, this is a dog-ate-the-homework problem. My, what interesting tastes your dog has. If he does it again, you still fail. It is amazing how many students can retrain their dogs given motivation like that.
Larry Lessig on laws that choke creativity:

Thanks for sharing this.

I had just turned 19 (2 months) before my son was born. Never married, but made the choice to stick around and make sure I was there every other weekend (and more, if allowed). I didn't have the "normal" college life, because I was gone every other weekend.

I've stayed in the midwest because of my son, rather than moving out to CA or NYC. For the first 6 years of his life, I never missed a weekend visit. For 3 of the 8 years he's been around, I drove 6 hours roundtrip every other weekend. The rest of the time it's just been a 4 hour roundtrip.

And, I've yet to regret it. I've been shown more opportunity than I could have ever dreamed of. No idea if that's karma, but it wouldn't matter anyway because the time with him is time well spent.
That's awkward.

I made some changes late last night, and messed up when I pushed them to the server.

It's fixed.
This method is by far the best here.

Not only does it make sense, but it allows you to see exactly what your odds of success are. Everyone acknowledges that both the "get famous" and the "do a startup" method have an element of luck, but this method allows you to quantify it.

Also, if you did it there a non-zero chance that you could get famous and become rich though your fame (even if the Vegas bets failed).
Really? We're talking about those who can see a way to achieve basically the same thing, but whose methods are dozens of orders of magnitude more efficient. That strikes me as clever. To me, the ones who propose such a ridiculous goal are those "lacking in vision."
Yea that's a good question. What kind of event ARE we really talking about here? Do you have an example of something that might require this kind of response?
Hopefully in 2010 we can do this comparison with our physiological selves and be amazed - the technology leaps don't even wow me anymore.

You can call me spoiled.
They tested their software on 5 weeks of data from mid-2005, chosen because those weeks have no "atypical" movements. Which means that this algorithm would've been just as cooked as any human being would, no more and no less.

The problem is that there does not (currently) exist any entity or human being smart enough to price stocks correctly. The effect appears so dramatic simply because markets move quickly, and the low transaction costs do little to damp the oscillations taking place.

The "pain" caused by such sudden oscillations is certainly real, and can be thought of as shear stress as the financial system pulls on a slow-moving economy. But rather than arguing for damping the financial system, as you do, I would prefer to lower transaction costs in the rest of the economy. At some point, this becomes difficult: the bottleneck is human beings' capability to respond at high speed (that the financial sector lets computers do most of the trading nowadays is clear admission of this weakness).

The only solution, then, is to let computers make all the other decisions in the economy as well. Hence, I propose a tax on all financial firms, to be deposited directly to the accounts of the Singularity Institute.

(You may decide for yourself how much of the above you consider to be serious..)
Yeah I'm using a Vostro 1500 running at 1680x1050 - its like 2.5 years old now too. I didn't know finding a laptop with a decent resolution was such a big deal.
All else is most definitely not equal, but you know this.
I reached the opposite conclusion, Google traffic probably results in fewer page views because users find what they're looking for sooner. This would imply that Google returns better targeted search results.

Ah - they both choose their computer systems based on stubborn adherence to software ideology.
Wording revised. Identical twin studies show it is determined by genetics.
Phil didn't point out that pupil dilation also is a factor (presumably for the sake of simplicity). You might be able to resolve two points in one lighting condition but not in another.

Nobody is playing games and perhaps you should look up "perhaps". He presents the idea that poor people are incapable of raising their children as a useful fact. The only way this information could be useful is some sort of policy of intensive state interference in child upbringing.

We've two competing hypotheses here, both unpleasant: 1) Genetics explains a lot of group differences. 2) Poor groups can't raise their own children and there should be intervention. How on earth #2 is less offensive is beyond me. Sounds a lot like the native american forced assimilation attempts to me.
Ever since moving to Win 1909, our compile benchmarks have been a bit off. I was at Supercomputing last week, literally got back Saturday to start writing the review, and I need to get some time to debug why it's not working as it should. I've got Qualcomm's Tech Summit next week and IEDM the week after that, so you'll have to wait a bit. Ian (the editor of the review)
