It isn't a dive watch - the touch screen wouldn't work under water - so regular water resistance is fine (and industry standard).

It's safe to be worn in the shower, that's enough for most people.

Edit: having looked into it a little more (not very knowledgeable about waterproofing, I dislike dive watches), there's no such thing as a "waterproof" watch, just a watch that is resistant to water at certain levels of water pressure. Information about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Resistant_mark
I guess there's some back story there. Perhaps in previous rounds they had problems with unfinished, known to be flawed drafts triggering big political upsets back home that ended negotiations early. Whereas if the process had been allowed to play out the final agreement presented for ratification would have actually been acceptable. I don't know though, that's just a guess.

That said, I try and assume the best in people. I really doubt there's some moustachioued cigar smoking trade negotiator explicitly demanding secrecy because otherwise the plebs might realise how much they're getting screwed. Seems more likely it's done for their own convenience. People always like to shield themselves from criticism by invoking secrecy, it's an easy "fix".
There are some differences between being a chattel slave and a wage slave.

If you have a chattel slave, you won't waste money investing in teaching them new skills.

If you have a wage slave, why would you invest in teaching someone a new skill? After they master the skill, you now have to pay them market rate for that skill (or they'll leave). So why not just pay market rate from the beginning rather than investing in training someone?
Oh wow - I would be really interested in more about this!
Blender runs like a champ with my nVidia Quadro 3000M, though I've had no success getting Ubuntu or Blender to avail of the CUDA cores. Will check out OptiX based on your comment.

Blender System Preferences for CUDA, OpenCL, and OptiX all report "No compatible GPUs found for path tracing. Cycles will render on CPU." I'm using nVidia's proprietary driver
and NVIDIA X Server Settings reports 240 CUDA Cores. No Joy w/ nvidia's cuda packages, either. Blender's been running well on this workstation since ~2.7x for video editing work, so further system tweaks have been low-prio. Will revisit to look at OptiX.
Self assessment = garbage information.
Is the thinkpad better value than the MacBook?

The i7 16GB ram / 512GB ssd Thinkpad X1 Carbon is $1900 and you don't even get a nice display. The M1 16GB/512GB ssd Macbook Pro is only $1700 and you get a best-in-class display along with that.

The XPS 13 and Surface are similarly priced. Macbooks are very price competitive and have been for a long time.
I think x86's death is one of those arbitrary dates that are continually referenced yet never come. See also: Year of the Linux Desktop, Windows 11, and The Repairable iPhone.
Alas, the image you see in your head is also a dream created by your brain's neural networks.
Do they not? They have the same ratings scale, based on filtering certain particulate sizes.
> If you do want to open source it, I highly recommend GPLv2 or 3.

This is solid advice for client software. However for software to run on the server side, AGPL providers better protections to ensure further developments remain free (copyleft).
I think the reality is much simpler. There's nobody in Google writing public apologies in parallel to implementing features. Through the magic of free market economy, they can just outsource it. Some court frowns at what they're doing? A quick call to a reputation management company (which they probably have on a retainer, or at least on speed dial), and they get all the press releases and training they need to manage the crisis. Why do it in house, if you can have experts do it for you?
I can't be the only one who has thought that deep fakes + Cameo = moneymaker! Pitch the celebs "hey you can have 70% of the cameo money, but you don't have to lower yourself to _actually doing the cameo_". We'll just take the other 30% to pay actors to do it for you.
Is it even called a "trackpad" outside of Apple machines? I'm pretty sure they're called "touchpads" generally. So maybe "trackpad" is inherently referent to Apple.
Use a diode so you only get half of the sin waves, that's 60hz which makes it very easy to build a clock off since you don't need to do any multiplications on the base clock frequency it self.
"Second, latency is a big thing in user experience. Go ahead, follow this author's advice, and do your JSON-to-HTML rendering on the client. See how it affects your latency. See how it affects your user experience. See how the latency affects your SEO standings. Try it out."

I think this _is_ actually worth trying out (albeit as an experiment). If you can send JSON to the client (and have already cached the templates) rather than full rendered (uncacheable) HTML, you can (hopefully) reduce the amount of data that's being transmitted. This saves you in

* latency - downloading a small JSON file will take less time than downloading a large HTML file (although with 4G and later high-bandwidth mobile data this becomes less relevant) - at what point does the additional download time offset the template-rendering CPU time?

* CPU usage (and hence battery life) - if we assume HTTPS for the download, the TLS decryption isn't free - at what point does it use less CPU to render your JSON client-side than to download a big file?

* radio usage (and hence battery life) - downloading more content means your radio must be on for longer, which is likely to use more power - at what point does the additional radio usage offset the CPU usage?

In each case, I don't know where the balance lies, but I don't think it's clear cut that server-side HTML rendering is always a better thing on mobile devices.

Having said that, I definitely agree with you on the battery life for general computation point - I'm not going to be bitcoin-mining on my cellphone! ;)
And they are entirely ignoring the impact of this virus on our healthcare workers. Due to high exposure levels to the virus, they are at much higher risk of not just getting infected, but also developing higher severity of the disease.

We need to make "Support our Healthcare Workers" a bigger part of the messaging strategy. They are on the front lines of this battle, and when we fail to implement control measures, we are putting their lives at risk.
Yeeeeahhh.... at the moment. They have gotten really aggressive about commercial licensing recently, and even a conservative extrapolation should give one pause.

Today they might limit themselves to forced registration, SEO, and spamming business contacts with carefully crafted statements designed to stir fear, uncertainty, and doubt around free licenses by strongly suggesting (without actually claiming) that commercial use without a commercial license is illegal. But tomorrow? Also, keep in mind that a business partner who isn't already familiar with Qt and LGPL is going to be about 10x more susceptible to the FUD. That's the whole idea.

My guess: 30% chance of an ugly fork and lots of drama in the next few years. Then, absent a change in direction, another 30% chance in the few years after that, and so on.
Yes, I do think Paul is a mendacious kook.

I understand how his non-mainstream positions can cause people to brand him as a kook, but why would you add mendacious?
Given that we have already had two rape jokes in this thread, you might want to reconsider your notions of what people "can" and "cannot" do here.

Additionally, I need not "tease out a scenario" where it "might be okay" to make a rape joke. I am knee deep in such scenarios (unless you actually believe jokes about rape to be morally wrong, rather than merely distasteful; I know I don't). Less common are scenarios where I can make a rape joke without negative social consequences, but there's still no shortage of those, either.
That's why all the best programmers are the oldest guys in the room, they've been at the game longest...
I thought the entirety of the C. elegans 302 neuron neural network had been implemented in code. If we're able to implement accurate copies of them, we have effectively made them immortal. Scale this up to human brains, and we are immortal ourselves.
Ah, good point. I said electric bill, but was mentally focusing on the few checks I still hand address, for which I don't necessarily receive monthly bills (rent, etc.).

I meant in comparison to what we were used to. Now a semi-decent TRX40 board is $700, entry-level TR3 is $1300. Top-end x399 board is $550, entry-level TR is $250. There was a huge jump in prices compared to previous generation of HEDT.
No, I'm saying we created a power vacuum in which a lot of score-settling happened, and much of that score-settling was adjudicated by men raping other men.
Lua's ability to bind a closure to a mutable variable is a very powerful ability that I use all the time. But due to the way loop variables are handled, the example that's "broken" in Python works "as expected" in Lua:

fns = {}

for i=1,10 do
fns[i]= function() return i; end
end

for i=1,10 do
print("fns[i]",fns[i]())
end

This produces:

fns[i] 1
fns[i] 2
fns[i] 3
fns[i] 4
fns[i] 5
fns[i] 6
fns[i] 7
fns[i] 8
fns[i] 9
fns[i] 10

If you change the set-up loop to look like this, though:

local j
for i=1,10 do
j=i
fns[i]= function() return i,j; end
end

...then it prints:

fns[i] 1 10
fns[i] 2 10
fns[i] 3 10
fns[i] 4 10
fns[i] 5 10
fns[i] 6 10
fns[i] 7 10
fns[i] 8 10
fns[i] 9 10
fns[i] 10 10

In that case, it has bound the mutable "j" to each of the 10 closures, though you can see it's created a new binding for i on each pass through the loop. It WILL create a new instance of the mutable "j" each time "local j" is executed, though, so if the above code is in a function or another block that's executed more than once, then each time those functions will be bound to a new "j".

EDIT: Get the code markup right.
I'm a happy fellow of the FSFE (http://fsfe.org/), the European pendant to the FSF. Sometimes we also discuss FSF campaigns, and usually agree that those would almost certainly be counter-productive here in Europe, especially things like the "Windows 7 sins".

However, we always thought: Well, the USA have a different culture, so maybe this kind of campaign is needed there, and probably our style of campaign would not work there.

(With "our style" I especially mean: not to exaggerate, and to prefer positive campaigns over negative campaigns.)

It is interesting to see that our objections seem to be also valid within the USA, too. Maybe it's time for some people to join the FSF and to encourage them to learn from their European branch.
i really enjoy working from home and will change jobs if forced to go back in.

I know what you're talking about though, my wife has friends that are wfh now and that, along with the general isolation of the pandemic, is having a serious effect on them.

I think when this is over there will be various compromises that will probably not work out very well. If WFH works for you then it's great, if it doesn't then it's miserable. There's not a lot of middle ground.

a good compromise leaves everybody mad. - Calvin and Hobbes
I would love to use this instead of VHDL, I have been searching for an alternative to those such verbose languages for a long time, but wasn't able to find any.

Where can I download a compiler? How may I start using it? I haven't found any reference of low level that could help me to understand what is the output of the compilers.
This needs to become a thing!!! I guess I will give Cx a chance.
Does it need a dedicated partition or can it be created with a loopback file on disk?
You don't need to be a woman to enjoy a "Women in Hip Hop" playlist. Spotify isn't about what it thinks you are. It's about what it thinks you want to listen to.
Or "cuck"? Depends on the variety of English, I expect.
The recent cultural trend towards radical liberalism is inherently dystopian. Fighting free speech, mandating psychological evaluation for questioning the main narrative. These are things that dictatorships and theocracies do

Is anyone able to load the mailing list link at https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/coq-club/2021-04/msg00125.h... or is Sympa getting hugged to death? I'd like to read the discussion to understand more about the perspectives of people who feel uncomfortable with the name.
It was 7:2, not 5:4.
The community is the biggest selling point for me, it's so amazing.

Dropping another plug for Laravel + Livewire + Alpine js, I think it's even better than using Vue.
I get where they are coming from. I was heavily involved in a big hiring spree shortly after the telecom implosion in Dallas. The sheer volume of resumes that we received was staggering. We'd have literally 100's of resumes within an hour of posting a job ad. Maybe 2% of those actually had anything resembling the qualifications we we're looking for (and had clearly spelled out in the ad). It really did seem like folks, out of desperation, where simply shotgunning resumes and hoping for the best.

We never considered simply tossing out the unemployed, but I get why they're doing it. Particularly at companies that aren't trying to hire absolute top-level talent.

It does absolutely suck for anyone looking for a job tho.
His expertise is marketing and branding. Until he starts a business that doesn't sell to consumers (even very rich ones who pay for spaceship rides) and isn't branded "Virgin", he's still parlaying off of what he knows how to do.

The very fact that people know the name "Richard Branson" and that he's personally involved in all these ventures is a big part of it.

Edit: It's not a criticism--it's hard to succeed in different fields--but the basic idea of the OP, which is to expand your business ventures along the lines of what you know how to do, still applies to Branson a lot more than he's a counterexample of it.
#79 is my favorite so far.

These are really creepy and keep giving me the chills.

Going to pass these on to my friend so he can sample them into his music. Wow, these sound so transmundane.
Isn't this a bit political for Hacker News? We could be here all day.
Well, webkit features.
> Thinking about it, I have no clue how to represent a nested list on a stack. How would you represent ((1 2) (3 4))?

In PostScript, it looks like this:

GS>[[1 2] [3 4
GS<5>pstack
4
3
-mark-
[1 2]
-mark-

The [ pushes a mark onto the stack, and ] allocates an array of the appropriate size, sticks stuff into the array from the stack, and leaves the array on the stack. (A pointer to it, if you want to get nitty-gritty.) Two more ]'s would pack the above up into a single nested array. Perl uses a similar strategy.

On the other hand, if you're representing (car '((1 2) (3 4))) in Lisp bytecode (e.g. elisp), it looks more like this:

pushconst 83258023
car

That's the approach my Ur-Scheme takes in machine code, too; I just posted the assembly it generates for that expression at http://gist.github.com/427828. (Ur-Scheme is a very dumb, naïve compiler, like something you might write for an exercise in a compilers class, and it uses the x86 as a stack machine.)

Finally, if you are representing (list (list 1 2) (list 3 4)) in stack bytecode, you end up with something like this:

pushconst 1
pushconst 2
pushconst #list
call 2
pushconst 3
pushconst 4
pushconst #list
call 2
pushconst #list
call 2

You can also use a PostScript-style stack mark instead of an argument count, and sometimes (e.g. commonly in Smalltalk) the function and argument count are all packed up in a single bytecode. If the argument count is implicit in the function (e.g. it's checked at compile-time) you don't need the argument count at all, but that doesn't allow you to write variadic functions like "list".
no, too much work for little gain, unless these NOSCRIPT folks were part of my major constituency.

Why don't you track how many people actually have no script before investing time in supporting it?
I don't think it turns off all mitigations. Only few of them.
I also wonder if they publish proof of concepts for security bugs they refuse to fix (e.g. in Android 4.3).
I like this analogy. I would say that culture is actually part of "do you like who you're working with," though. "I don't like the culture" is a way of saying "I don't like management" or "I don't like my peers."

If your immediate peers are great, but the organization doesn't support your getting training, makes you dress up, makes you keep timesheets, requires TPS reports and long meetings, etc, those decisions are being made by people. And they are being annoying (even if they're otherwise nice).
I often think about that - if life elsewhere were discovered, what would be the repercussions of letting the public know? If the gap between replies were 10 or more years, how many people would just give up work figuring it was pointless? Would society as we know it collapse?
The lack of results is an important result in of itself.
PSN is up there with Xbox Live. You can't claim Sony doesn't get it. If Sony had charged for it from the start it would be equally profitable but marketing decided it needed to be free to compensate for the initial excessive cost of the console, and now they cant charge for it without annoying their entire userbase.

A technical failure, like this outage is not the same as not understanding something's importance.
> Why would I use Inuit.css instead of Blueprint ( http://www.blueprintcss.org/ )?

Make your viewport smaller than the default page width of the website. Do you see horizontal scroll bars? yes for bluebprint, no for innuit. Which makes innuit the clear winner for me.

Some weeks ago I spent some time skimming through various CSS frameworks, and ended up usinig emastic ( http://code.google.com/p/emastic/ ) because it can be made to work well with small browser viewports, and because you can use em/ex instead of px for denoting sizes.
They are probably referring to the fact that Sony have not said anything about how long before the service is restored. The title is misleading without the context of the article, maybe the title on this website should be changed to something less misleading.
The last couple of job searches I updated or recreated and this time around I again realized how pointless it is. It's a circle jerk for HR, is jampacked full of terrible recruiters, the job search is beyond worthless. I see absolutely no reason to have an account there ever again

From my perspective it has been and is a ball of "who gives a shit"
That's a rather heavy should. I'd bet dollars to pesos at least some of them are operating fractional reserve schemes, or have the reserve "invested" in crypto.
>> Dutch people don't want to hear this but the Netherlands are a tax haven just like Ireland. Luxembourg and Switzerland aren't actually that attractive for tax avoidance anymore.

> Why they don't want to hear this ? Isn't it something the Dutch people should be very proud of ?

Why would anyone be proud of living in a tax haven? The whole point of being one is to profit a little off of a race to the bottom by undermining your neighbor's tax system by helping their wealthy be greedier.
Paying dividends to shareholders accomplishes the same thing as buying back stocks: both return capital to investors.

Increasing the company pension would not have saved them from their current woes: they would still need to issue debt or equity.
Yes I 100% agree Lightning Network solves a lot of the medium of exchange issues and in a really cool way too.

I don't see the volatility stopping though. And being volatile upwards might be good for the spender who's been saving that money long term, but probably not for the seller who needs to count on that revenue to cover its monthly expenses.
Don't people buy fiat currency as investments? People speculate in the FX markets all the time. How is this any different, rather than it's newer and thus more volatile due to not having found it's place.
Is there a way to use Signal or the rest as your main messenger app or are you just forced to use two apps if you want to communicate to non-Signalers?

I know it’s a really elementary question when the rest of you are looking at this from a high-level (great discussion btw) but I’m never ever going to convince anyone to use anything but iOS messenger if they need two apps.
Apple should get a cut of every check deposited through the Chase mobile app.
Great analysis. And agreed, great security.

Let’s just hope they are not using TeamCity!
People spent years de-legitimatizing the 2016 election by claiming that Trump colluded with the Russian government. There were even stories published by mainstream media outlets that Russians hack election machines.

The other side undermining the election results after they lost is not exactly new.
This would probably cause a huge drop in H1B applications.
I think you're understating the strength of weak connections. If I have even one friend who's not on Whatsapp that I want to stay in touch with then I'm going to download another app. If there's a group chat with this person then everyone in that group is downloading a second app. And then second degree and third degree connections get affected too.

Getting out of the EU would be a massive blow to any established social media company that depends on network effects. It doesn't matter as much for smaller companies that are still growing (eg. early Facebook still managed to grow by only offering services to college students).
Wouldn't reading the source material (and copying from there) be even better for Norvig's ten year plan? Note that the pace of brick and mortar classes drove me mad back in my student days :)

Also, the deadlines from Coursera and most MOOCs conspire against watching videos at normal speed. Most of us have day jobs and the only time we can read the lectures and do the exercises is a few hours a day, late at night. In that case, speed-watching and focusing only on the most interesting parts are the only options, especially if you want to get full credits for the course. (Of course, you can take the more relaxed approach of simply not caring about the credits, and getting things done at whatever pace you find comfortable, and that's completely valid!)
As someone that has worked on a similar project before -- I should caution you that allowing POST requests and such can open up a lot more potential for abuse (comment spammers, web-mail spam, etc) so you should add some rate limiting per-visitor-IP/target-domain or something similar before implementing this.

> It's a symptom, like fever. If you treat the symptom without addressing the cause, what good is it?

Quite good when the symptom is harmful in itself, which both fevers that are sufficiently high and stress can very much be.
They just want to give everyone the same experience Googlers get.

Are you sure you pay 50% in tax on the profits? A quick google suggests that 50% of the profits counts as income, which is then taxed at your income rate. 50*50 = 25% in the top bracket.

In the US long-term cap gains is 0%, 15%, or 20% - not far off from 25%.
I think the filter is rotated the wrong way in your diagram? It looks like they use a normal pleated filter.
Interestingly we have the opposite problem, our customers mostly pay in USD and many of our employees are paid in EUR, which is pretty high vs USD lately, and that difference costs us quite a lot.
