Situation matters sometimes, but you can perceive the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps. Military and commercial aerospace flight simulators learned this early on and they MUST hold 60 fps or pilots get sick.

High end digital televisions and cinema are having a hard time jumping to 60 fps which for many reasons would simplify things since the rest of the consumer electronics works at that, but traditional cinema is locked at 24 fps. There are various stories around you should be able to find that when cinema experiments with 60 fps (or even 48 fps), or compare televisions that can automatically upscale the framerate, consumers complain that it looks "cheap" because the quality matches what they see on YouTube or their home video camera or the evening news. People have been conditioned to accept 24 fps as high quality cinematic so they think it looks "cheap" when in reality they are getting more fidelity. (You should be able to find old reviews of The Hobbit and people comparing it to the evening news.)

To your original point though, in this case, people were able to distinguish the different frame rates. The difference necessarily register as frame rate to people, or paradoxically, necessarily even better.
This is a case of needing more explicit rules to enforce the intent of the ambiguous existing ones.

As for GME, Penny stock designation technically requires that the stock not trade on a major exchange. GME was never de-listed.
You should file a feature request! We could crowdsource some ideas about the best way to do that. For example if you read the APE blog post, we've already got a JavaScript interpreter (duktape) checked-in to the Cosmopolitan codebase. I could easily link that into redbean and define possibly a nodejs-like API.
rather annoyingly, when seeking a PHP implementation to use with this, there is in fact a project called RedBeanPHP, which seems completely unrelated

Is tail call elimination particularly problematic?

With Erlang, recursion is effectively the only looping construct, so it becomes second nature to make everything end with a tail call.

I appreciate your understanding.

Although right now the deal is hanging by a thread, I still think its possible that in long term it will be considered a major victory for all parties involved.

The fact that the hardliners couldn't kill it off despite years of effort (while being in power) may be later judged as a strength of it.
Great questions! A Hex Fiend document is represented in-memory as a list of slices of files and memory buffers. The b+tree is just an optimization on top of the list, and is not written to disk.

For example, say the user opens file1, which is 100 bytes. Our document starts off with one slice:

(file1, 0, 100)

Now the user scrolls to offset 75 and types 30 bytes. This splits the original slice at offset 75, so our new list is:

(file1, 0, 75), (memory, 0, 30), (file1, 75, 100)

The user may also open file2, copy part of it, and paste it at the end of the document. Now the document references two files:

(file1, 0, 75), (memory, 0, 30), (file1, 75, 100), (file2, 200, 300)

So there's no real dependence on the original file: a document may reference arbitrarily many files (until it's saved). By organizing the list as a b+tree, it's fast to find the slice at a given byte offset in the document.

Hex Fiend does not use mmap because I wanted to support 4+GB files in 32 bit mode. But error handling with mmap is miserable, so I think it is wise to avoid mmap even in 64 bit.
I use the word 'ideological' all the time here (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). Your comment got me thinking about what I mean by it.

I guess I mean something like: a fixed cluster of ideas that people apply to complex situations to quickly make simple good/bad judgments, often accompanied by strong emotions.

Ideology tends to be generic (the same ideology gets applied to lots of things), predictable (a fixed idea lets one know where one stands in a predictable way), emotional (the need to know this is strongest on high-stakes issues), and binary (each ideology organizes itself in opposition to an opposing one).

I use the term in moderation comments because these qualities are bad for HN discussion. The 'fixed' aspect makes discussion predictable, the 'generic' aspect makes it shallow, and the binary/emotional aspect makes it inflammatory. A bad trifecta for curious conversation.
- Keep it really, really short.

- Provide links, ... so they can easily learn more.

- Provide some kind of contact that they know (ie. "X said I should talk to you.")

- Keep it really, really short. No buzzwords/marketese whatsoever.

- Ask for something (what's the reason you're contacting them?)
Pull-to-refresh makes sense when adding new cells to the top of a UITableView (as in a timeline), but it doesn't make sense as a general refresh gesture as they show in their example. Hopefully it won't start being abused too much.

> the reality is that neighbours of that Airbnb bear the externalities

What toxic waste, exactly, do Airbnb listing dump on their neighbours?

Professional Airbnb investors buy up whole properties, renovate them, run them as a hotel with regular cleaning and services provided. Their shot-term residents use the same amout of public transit, water and utilities services as long-term renters next door.

The only real inconvenience is that it's driving property prices up - but that's not an externality. That's just a reality of a market where some type of customers agree to pay a higher price for something, and it's price goes up for everybody. I don't see any reason why market should be artificially tilted towards long-term renters as opposed to short-term.
It's all conjecture for now, but I consider this a huge failing of the IC. Makes you wonder what they're actually focused on if it isn't protecting the American public.

EDIT: Maybe the more likely answer is politician(s) didn't listen.
I agree, and I just hate touch screens in general. (I don't drive a car, but I still hate touch screens anyways.) Keyboard is much better. Not just car, but many other things (including television) have bad UX, too. They try to make a better UX but make a bad UX instead. I try to work against that writing my own software, although I cannot change the hardware; I can merely to suggest how to make a better one. For one thing, you should include a numeric keypad (if not a full keyboard); it can be useful for implementing many kind of functions.
Firsthand experience: My family was evicted from a two unit home in SF. We lived in one unit, the owner in the other unit. One unit is now listed on Airbnb.

> Plasma is very safe. It is screened for bloodborne pathogens

For those we know. In some countries with centralized organizations handling transfusions, both HIV and hepatis were spread before they knew to test them -- then even after they learned. People sued for willful poisoning in Europe, as there was documented evidence the persons taking the decision were told about the risks yet decided to ignore them against experts advice. To the best of my knowledge, nobody was convicted, ever.

> Blood transfusion is one of the most regulated industries

Now, given that background, do you think regulations will protect you from unknown pathogens? Or from known ones if someone decides not to bother with the testing?
That’s because methylene blue doesn’t kill prions.

If you have property, and the house is on that property, then yes, you can. If I build my house in the public commons, on property that I do not own or lease, then I haven't any property rights as a homefront, and the relationship is more akin to one of a storefront than a home.

If we're extrapolating from commercial property rights, then again, stores and merchants have the right to refuse entry to persons they choose as well, even though those buildings are in common areas, and their doors are commonly unlocked to allow free entry to all.

Further, it is not incumbent upon you to have doors, windows and locks to prevent entry from your property, as the property needn't be a house at all, but could simply be land. I have the right to expel trespassers from land I own, whether or not any dwellings or structures exist upon such property.

Even if you're assertion is just that I should have doors and locks to prevent them entering just my home, that is again a false claim. Whether or not my property is secure might be a matter of insurance liability, but does not obviate me from the expectation that others will respect my property rights. Even if I have no doors, windows, locks, or even walls, I have the right to expel others from my property.
Same here in France. For the record, we reduced our expenses to one third of what we did before, by moving from Paris to a small village.
As a footnote, there is a pitfall here in the English language.
The word "over" might mean divided by, or it might mean "integrated across", which are, in the case of constant power completely opposite meanings.

power is energy ÷ time (assuming the power is constant, and thinking of horizontal lines for fractions you might say "power is energy over time")

energy is power × time (assuming the power is constant, but if you are thinking "integration" you might say "energy is power over time")

The language can hurt the understanding.
That's a severe oversimplification

You mean patio11 used oversimplification, folksy language, and cutesy examples to make a point? Say it ain't so!
We're doing both. But after working with three or more recruiters, I can't sit around and wait for them to find the right candidates.

Besides, recruiters are like realtors, there's not much incentive in finding the best candidate for you and their pay is usually even more than $12K for experienced candidates FYI.
Are gifted children that much helped by the current system? For all I know, they are just ignored.

Furthermore, where do you read that the objective is "low variance"? I read "higher average".
I also do this. Not everyone agrees with this method though. They like to actually login to separate accounts and have separate silos of email. Trust me, I've tried changing minds…
I think this is an amazing point and the main reason we created this. Human curation results in infinitely better content than just reading an RSS feed of the New York Times - and many people use Twitter exactly that way. Readstream just aims to streamline that same content-delivery process.
You're both joking right? I find myself wanting to google this guy in 5 years so I can see how much real life kicks his poetic ass.
Agreed. I also wouldn't be surprised if he got paid >100X the average programmer with Oculus in the end as well.
So if I wanted to watch this on my iPad, would I be permitted to transcode it to mp4 myself?
Something might expose bugs in my code? Better lambaste that something, rather than, you know, fix my own problems that have been there all along...
Thanks for the kind words Andy!
I was disappointed by this article in the end. I was ready for a good old fashioned OOP bash, supported by strong opinions and examples. We should always remain open to new (or old, in this case!) patterns. Instead we get a "tie" given a very simple (not real world) example.

In the end I'm left with the same conclusion. Given that there is no obvious performance gain from a procedural approach, I would opt for a design pattern that is friendlier to the programmer (the human being). It's helpful to model things this way as an organizing approach. And there are obvious benefits to maintaining state within their respective concerns.

It isn't to say OOP is the only and best answer. It very much depends on the program, but I was hoping for a more obvious win on the procedural side here.
"Adam looks more male and industrial than other softer tablets out there"

However, anecdotal evidence can point to a line of inquiry that might uncover important statistical evidence. It presents categories: "Crimes not addressed" as a cause of low incarceration.

Truly, to combat his assertion, you should find statistical evidence to show that his anecdotes are actually contrary to the trend.

Anecdotal evidence _is_ evidence. It is just not strong statistical evidence.

Things have come a long way in the past year, since this conversation:

Some of the interesting recent features include executable class bodies, extended regular expressions, functions with default arguments, and YAML-style object literals.

Thanks for all the great suggestions and patches (almost a thousand Github issues, with many thousands of comments). The language has been very much a community driven project, and hopefully it reflects some significant part of the hard-earned wisdom of JavaScripters.
This figure is just for two specific devices [1]:

>Out of 227 remote wakeup events from a USB mouse and keyboard:
> - 163 transitions from RExit to U0 were immediate ( < 1 microsecond)
> - 47 transitions from RExit to U0 took under 10 ms
> - 17 transitions were over 10ms

So, 10 ms might indeed be sufficient for 99% of devices. But some devices (i.e. this mouse/kb combo) needs between 10 ms and 12 ms in 8% of all wakeups.

Carroll Quigley makes a convincing argument early in Tragedy and Hope that democratic governments tend to replace authoritarian governments when "amateur weapons" (e.g. rifled musket and pistols of the 19th century) are the pinnacle of weapons technology and the standard of living is high enough for the citizens to readily purchase those weapons, and vice versa when "specialist weapons" (e.g. tanks and airplanes of the 20th century) become the pinnacle of weapons tech.
I can't even imagine living in a state where a city with 1.4 million people having 4 robberies in participating stores.

That's crazy.

Of course I live in Michigan.

I've been thinking about crime a bunch after listening to the Serial podcast and thinking about The Wire. Crime is expensive. Trial, police, incarceration are all resource intensive. It would be amazing to have those resources available for city residents to do something else, like have a cleaner town, better schools, safer roads.
It's significantly less reliable, more expensive, and of extremely limited benefit to ship things to relatively unpopulated states in the middle of the ocean, or across two international borders into the Arctic. People are of course free to live in those places, but they're not free to demand the rest of the world to accommodate their decision.
Heh… caught out. Thanks for doing my reading for me ;).
I honestly thought this was about B.P.
Winners: us.
Excellent points. Knowing the probable future of actions of the Chinese, there's a strategy the United States can play here. The brief is this:

1. The most dangerous threat to the United States is not the continued rise of China.

2 .The most dangerous threats to American security are non-state actors, particularly terrorist and insurgent networks.

3. It is only a matter of time before these non-state actors develop or steal a nuclear device.

4. The most powerful and organized non-state actors are terrorist networks in Islamic regions.

5.These networks currently target the United States, our dependent nations in Europe, and our outpost in Israel.

6. These networks cannot be destroyed using existing United States and allied intelligence assets.

7. Therefore, the logical alternative is to retarget Islamic anger against a rival nation.

8. Islamic anger is stoked primarily by the United States military presence in the Near East and Central Asia.

9. The United States military positions in this region are overextended and unsustainable.

10. Military actors tend to follow commercial interests.

11. Therefor, the proper strategy is for the United States to execute a controlled retreat to fallback positions within these regions, while simultaneously encouraging Chinese investment.

As we stand down, the Chinese will rush to fill the breach. We can continue to hold the non-negotiable assets in the Near East, while allowing China to take Central Asia.

Simultaneously, the United States launches a concerted psyops campaign across the Muslim world portraying Chinese atrocities against their Islamic subjects in Xinjiang.

The end result is that Muslim anger is partially redirected against China, thus lessening the danger to United States interests, and giving the People's Republic a strong incentive to join us as equal partners in the fight against global terrorism.

I read the same articles. It was not that it was a Ford but that it was a cheap car. Author probably said "Ford" expecting to imply "cheap". There are luxury trucks, too.
This is a bit of sensationalist non-news, isn't it? I mean, we all know how exactly every single computer software/hardware manufacturer always use "resolution-less" photographs in their ads on computer screens, cellphone screens and so on.
It sounds great, but like anything, there are tradeoffs. "What's the best-paying job I can find" vs "what's the best-paying job I can find within biking distance" are very different questions. The difference in income may far outweight the commuting costs.

Then again, they may not. But it should be considered. One strategy would be to find the job, then move to within a few miles of it. But again, do the real estate costs of living there outweigh the gains? It's complicated.

The health benefits are probably the only really clear part. :) And no, you can't put a price on that. (Unless a gym membership would be equivilent...)
No, that's just the per inch part. I still need to know what the constituents being measured are, as logical pixel vs. physical dot makes all the difference:

I don't care about the dot density, as long as there are enough of them; I care about the dots/pixel, and deeply about the actual inches. I ran into this problem as a kid, printing some images that had dpi metadata that the printer took literally, but I didn't know how to fix it back then so I ended up with a thumbnail print. Attaching ppi (!) metadata to images is stupid anyway, since the actually relevant information would be the inches (or the dots/inches, for designer decrees).
Pre-drill a relief well. It's not that complex. Actually, some countries already require it.
LLVM doesn't target the AVR processors, and while there is a avr-llvm backend, I think it is still very early in the development cycle. It is quite possible that you could get it to work with some effort, but it is a lot more complex than targeting an ARM microcontroller.

With awesome boards like the Teensy 3.0 (Cortex M4, http://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy3.html) available on the cheap, not being on AVR isn't the huge disadvantage it once was. At least if you don't count the hardware people already have.
I believe that it depends on the location much. People in some places are more easy going and welcoming to strangers while in other places they are very closed and cold. Sometimes what it takes to solve the loneliness problem is to move to different region.
Sorry I'm not that offay with Android. I think it was a system notification, a 'Google' one. I doubt it was a Facebook one. And my partner doesn't use Google+ actively as far as I know. They may have stalked me, I'm not privy to their surfing habits.

They don't really use their Google account for anything but Google play, but it could be tied into their Chrome browser/profile somehow.

A long shot could be that we both visited the same *.wordpress.com site today.
Instead of full rewrite, migrate to JRuby. From sysadmin standpoint, an rails app running on JRuby is java. so you can submit .WAR file to them & they can deploy it like a normal java app running on the JVM.
I would't like if a startup fakes. They'd lose my credibility. However, some of the examples seem reasonable - like the case of reddit. It is more about providing value to the early adopters - clearly reddit needed more users to contribute, so no harm in creating fake users to seed the content. The example of PayPal seems bad - i am not sure if PayPal was a paid service for merchants back then, but if it was, they were just being evil.
Hydrochloric acid is HCl. You write that it "decompose[s] to basic elements". Are you saying that HCl turns into H_2 and Cl_2, i.e. hydrogen gas and chlorine gas? Can you explain this reaction?

I found this out last week when I bought a Kobo Forma and started converting all of my favourite Markdown documents to epub to stick on there. Calibre even lets you create a TOC by specifying the header regex (#, ##, etc for Markdown), it's great! had to edit a few manually to tweak layout and Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/) has a nice editor for epubs built in.
The networking situation has improved in Juno and Kilo, but yeah: One often gets the impression with OpenStack that there's so much attention being paid to new stuff that none of the existing stuff (even recently new) is ever brought to a state of stability and usefulness.
