This will probably go unnoticed, but this function seems to be equivalent, at least for the factorial example. What's the difference?

var Y = function(X) {
var Z = X(function(arg) {
return Z(arg);
});
return Z;
}
Oh, awesome, thank you!. I never thought to use ZeroMQ, but that would work perfectly. Ironically, it doesn't seem like DotCloud supports these sorts of architectures very well yet, any plans to fix that? ;)
I am curious, what are you using it for?
I recommend using Python's "paramiko" library for this -- it has this very neat feature to allow multiple commands. You can upload the script, then run it all in one connection.
Fair enough, though I look forward to the day when there is just one governmental department and it's called the "Vanquishers of Evil" for the sake of clarity.
I think the worst possible scenario is them paying you the money after 180 days, although your account will remain locked.
Somewhat meta: why offer a customer three ways to pay? It's confusing; which one do I chose? What if I pick the wrong one?
Well, I assume though that there other platforms (like Wii) aren't running silverlight. This could be an incorrect assumption, but it at least seems that they have the player available in other code bases.
The Magical Musical Thing was. But it took some coaxing. I could remember the name was longer and had some rhythm. I was Googling "musical wand" and trying mot to think about it. Then it sort of fell into my head and I Googled MMT and saw the pictures.

With the Merlin, I kept thinking "Simon". I can't remember exactly what I googled but maybe something like "retro handheld electronics red" and saw a picture of it.

I want an MMT now. I remember playing the HELL out of Greensleeves on that.
I can't give you a real answer, except to say that it probably involves Clint Eastwood.
Even more interesting, this was written in 1996 by the looks of things?
We've changed the title from "Twitter in a Single File" to what the project page says (https://github.com/Gabriel439/simple-twitter).
Have you tried reading the comment you replied to?
Nope, that's the point - it's a play on words.

'Abject failure' combines with 'Adjective' to describe a noun:

Adject Failure

The add-on adds adjectives to mentions of the mighty* trumpster
There's no money left for savings when rents double over 10 years while wages only go up $1-2/hr.
Yea. Mozilla is one of the very few good girls around, and your name connected to your email is probably in every public email dump already like everybody else's.

Edit: I changed my mind. Why is this page infected with google analytics?
Someone makes some version of this comment on every article about Facegoog surveillance.

I guess you're only allowed to complain about surveillance on your personal blog where no one will read it, because any modern media site uses invasive tracking. For some reason, HN posters pretend not to understand that the IT staff who install those trackers are different people from the writers who complain about it.
That's okay. Every great organization needs to experiment, and many of those experiments will not work out.

I might be digging my self in some mud here but when you say:

> Fission was discovered in 1938/1939 and we dropped two bombs on Japan in 1945. No chance we could do something like that in this toxic environment of today.

Are you for real? It is hard to find any more toxic place in resent history then during the horrors of World War 2.

This time saw a holocaust with forced labor and mass killings of religious and ethnic minorities in multiple countries accross at least 3 continents. It saw indiscriminate bombing of heavy civilian population centers in densely populated centers in Asia and Europe. It saw mass famine and starvation in several regions of the world. About 3% of the entire world population died in these horrors, and many more lost their homes and livelihoods.

And you mention the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as some kind of an achievement. Between 129,000–226,000 people died in that terror, and two whole cities were leveled to the ground, with the mass homelessness and medical and social emergencies that follows.

Perhaps it is not your intention to devalue these horrors and you are simply trying emphasize what was possible when the political climate was more unified. But please be careful with your words. Don’t describe our time as toxic while glorifying the most toxic times ever witnessed in our recent history.
But he could be right

Why does it annoy you so much?
I don't necessarily agree with the Safety Mode feature touted.

How far back do Twitter Rules violations count in flagging accounts as "abusive"? I know I've been slapped for sharing DDOSSecrets when it was first making the rounds (and I believe that's why it's rejecting my account from signing up for Birdwatch).

How far does it take to be flagged as "abusive" otherwise? Activists calling out politicians may use choice language -- will they suddenly be flagged abusive and their dissent stifled by the Twitter Algorithm? I feel like the Safety Mode features will end up protecting the wrong people.
That's not good enough. Even a $10T market cap doesn't justify 6 GW of power consumption when PoS would consume effectively zero.
I agree but I have yet to see a better solution than unions. Companies will constantly use their influence to erode workers' rights and unions do levy a constant cost on society but it's a cost that's being paid to counter that otherwise imbalanced influence.

To repurpose a famous Churchill quote "Unions are the worst solution to labour equality except all the others that have been tried before."
Hmm, the RFC process seems to cover more than my suggestion to do C. I'll revise my position slightly, and agree that we need to do something like an RFC at some point.

I also agree with starting with a prototype in whatever high level language you have. Python is a good prototype language. However, I see that the first commit is 20 years old? They should have outgrown Python by now.
Incompetence may be too strong of a word but I think there can be a lack of thinking about second and third order effects when the “measure becomes the target”.
I wonder why they didn't build on OSC.
> I don't see why they don't just teach C, x86, and Haskell everywhere

On my university in Portugal back in the mid-90's, we had:

Pascal, C, C++, Caml Light, Smalltalk, Prolog, Java, PL/SQL, x86 and MIPS Assembly

Additionally we also got lots of CS stuff like lambda calculus, relational algebra, language semantics and so on.

It always feels strange so to me that there are universities out there focusing on single languages, or paradigms.
As much as I love Haskell, one problem with the intro to CS courses is that many of the students are not CS majors, but students from other disciplines that need to learn a little bit of programming. It makes sense here to teach Java and Python, as imperative languages are more useful to real world programming than functional languages.

Perhaps it would be better to create a separate intro course for CS majors. On the other hand, most curriculum in CS demand that students learn about languages like prolog and Haskell, so it's not like students will never be exposed to it.
Broadly? General MITM, Kaminsky, etc.

DANE as an application of DNSSEC is interesting (and based on the recent string of editorials, contentious as well). Using DANE to constrain CAs could add an additional layer of protection against a rogue CA. Using it as an additional CA could help facilitate moving towards "HTTPS-everywhere".

The takeaway of course in implementing it in any manner is that it is just another layer, not a panacea.

Outside of DANE, there are other applications such as IPSECKEY and SSHFP that have utility.

Baloney.
That's what I meant by catchup.
What? Come on, I wasn't being rude, I was making a point. The nature of the responses on this topic, particularly on Hacker News are completely aggressive and kill any intellectual exploration or useful conversation.

I can't voice an opinion on this website that doesn't mesh with the popular opinion on this specific topic without being severely marginalized, mocked, and even ridiculed -- I think pointing that out should be allowed.
One of the movements is petitioning the government for change. The counter-movement is plotting to kidnap politicians:

Here's a company that has enjoyed the largesse of the US public for decades. And this is how they repaid us for making them 'too big to fail'? I recall a people that at least strived for a moral compass.

Last I checked, the metrics around prevailing wages to hire an H1B are not adjusted based on the local market. So you can get away with paying an H1B the same in the Bay Area as you would in suburban Iowa.
Indeed. So do I. Although I personally prefer to be polite and caring, and avoid what might make others uncomfortable, and hate real harassers (bullies), I actually am annoyed and concerned by the pandemic of hypersensitivity and political correctness in the Internet.

I believe there is absolutely nothing anybody might say what would actually insult me and although I can't expect others to be the same, they should develop this skills to a reasonable level before connecting to the Internet or going out.
Now, here's the thing that confuses me.

Say some advanced civilization can move around some large mass - an asteroid, a planet, a black hole, whatever, we'll just call it "the big mass". They can, at will, fly it back and forth between two distinct positions we'll call 0 and 1.

And let's say some distance away - a light-year, say - they have an facility where they can measure with excruciating precision the force of gravity on a test mass. After isolating out all other known gravity sources, they can use the remaining vector of gravitation force to compute the current position of the original big mass - and whether it's at position 0 or position 1.

Assuming they can drag around the big mass from one position to the other in a short amount of time, shouldn't the people at the remote facility be able to detect where the big mass is long before light could reveal its position? Couldn't they use those observations to receive a low-bandwidth, but faster-than-light message?

How does relativity prevent that?
My best technical interview was a take-home programming assignment. I could ask questions by email. After a week, I would present my work to the other programmers and they'd ask questions about why I did something a certain way.

Best interview process ever, and that company had excellent programmers and the lowest employee turnover I've ever seen.
Its probably people with Crypto currency thats way up in value and a need to do something with it.
Dive bombers actually subjected pilots to some serious g-forces. Some planes (at least the Stuka) had an automatic pull-out that would cause it to pull up at a certain altitude (or when the bomb is released, I'm not sure), so the plane could recover even if the pilot blacked out. Though apparently some pilots didn't like this feature and disabled it, because they felt always recovering at the same height made it easier to anti-air defenses to target them.

Another fun fact about the Stuka: you know that weird whining noise you hear in WW2 movies when a plane is dive bombing, almost sounds like the engine is acting up (like this https://youtu.be/5uvqhA4_2tU?t=39 )? So that noise is unique to the Stuka. It's not the engine, the plane has sirens fitted to the dive brakes! It was meant to scare soldiers on the ground.
I found it's my extension[1]. That's what's interpreting the lack of Content-Type as indication that Firefox is going to force a download (it actually doesn't) and showing me its own download dialog.

Unless I'm misunderstanding it's more straightforward. The article says she is reimbursed, so the steps are (based on my Aus understanding, US tax law may vary):

1) Buy product - taxable expense for business/work purposes
2) Write review
3) Get sent money equal to purchase price - taxable income

Net, the money cancels out to no taxable income but she has the product. It was bought with her own money and still belongs to her.

It's like if I run a blog, I bought a new PC to do my blogging (business expense), wrote about how nice it was, then the company sent me some money or a gift as thanks. I wouldn't have to pay tax on the PC if this happened.
> the claim that a 3yo GPU is "kicking butt"

The GeForce 1080 Ti came out 3 years ago, and I would definitely argue that it's still a card that's kicking butt.

Granted, the poster that said his 3 yo GPU is kicking butt also said he paid $300 for it, which could mean he has a GTX 1060 or equivalent AMD GPU. A 1060 is definitely powerful enough for VR, as it's performance is only slightly lower than the GTX 1070 that I use for VR.
And one of them was Erik Naggum, who understood the Web but hated it. He probably wasn't the only one who self-selected out of the pool of possible XML inventors...

BTW, it's mentioned in another thread above that you're not sending a Content-Type header — are you doing that on purpose? I haven't tried doing that since HTTP/0.9 days and I'm surprised it works (i.e., that modern browsers sniff the body and render it as HTML).
You need to think of China like North Korea. There is very little chance they are going to democratize in the near future.
Where did I say anything about US law?
Virtue signaling doesn't work in business. Should yc do any business in the US which is mired in illegal wars and regime change operation all over the world? What about Saudi arabia? Should silicon valley and traditional media give up the billions in Saudi investment? Every major economic player is evil in some form or another. And the parallel with china isn't nazi Germany. It's with 19th century US.
wut? Apple releases BSD code, not GPL. They've never played Stallman's game.
And Google wonders why their products don't gain momentum? Should I trust them when I buy a Chromecast, Stadia, or anything else? I mean even their probably most successful product, the Chromecast, doesn't get many updates and sometimes I wonder if they put much effort into it. It seems like they are very good at the initial launch but slowly and surely they remove resources from that product and things go downhill.
Windows 10 introduced a major VM-screen-breaking bug a few builds ago. Screens can't be sized properly anymore. And acceleration seems to be broken (at least, I hope so, otherwise there's a huge perf regression). Users of VMware and VirtualBox are complaining. Posts to the forums get "answered" by idiot moderators that insist this is a VMware problem (despite VirtualBox not being made by VMware).

VMware says MS broke the APIs for screen resolution and they won't fix and hope MS does. OTOH, VMware Workstation is pretty much an end-of-life product with no real updates in quite a while.

Overall, it's bizarre. You'd think that in a beta, usage in a VM would be really high, leading to not having regressions on such common "hardware".
They should include The Better Business Bureau in their documentary. Now that is a shakedown organization if there ever was one.
Let's call this a suicide attack and this co-pilot a terrorist. Secondly, find out his religion and prefix this with terrorist. Prefixing his race will also be a plus point. Once all unknowns are calculated, ask his religion/race fellows to apologize this act of terrorism.
I like it just as it is, without score and with random levels. I think that having an easier level after a harder one makes me want the play it even more.
Please author, if you add those suggestions, maybe add them as a different play mode, since some of us enjoy it exactly as it is. So much so, that I've rated the game on Google play, I think it's my first one.

If I'm making money or even pursuing a hobby, $300/yr is completely worth it.

Or, alternatively, git's building blocks are elegant, powerful, and interesting and writing about them makes for natural blog posts/guides/tutorials.
In the information age and the knowledge society, unfortunately we don't need this industrial revolution legacy of boom in population growth to service factories and mines and the AI era and app economy would exacerbate the problem and squeeze more people.

We as humanity at a crossroads in our history as species and a civilization and we need to stand up to this challenge and conquer our problems and fears.

Finally, I must congratulate on your contributions to the progress of humanity, every good word counts and every good idea enriches out lives.

Thank you for all!

In that case, why not let the computer tell you whether or not the types are reasonably self-evident? That's what static typing is.

(Remember, don't mash up "Java and C++" with "static typing". Java and C++ are not worth mentioning when discussing type systems; they have type systems that get in the way and make it harder to code.)
An incorrect answer gives me feedback on why my thought process was wrong. A program that dies in the middle just means my typing is not so good.

Remember, most of your time is spent with a broken program rather than with a working program. Once it works, you don't think about it anymore. Getting to that working state is what programming is.
But the reality is that there is way more money in knowing people than in doing work.

There is truth in this, in that knowing people is a prerequisite for getting to the higher tiers of income. If you don't know people to get good gigs, you will inevitably have to go via one or more intermediaries who do, and they will all take a cut. How much of a cut depends on your business skills, not your technical skills.

A related but distinct issue is that clients who hire via agency-style intermediaries tend to have a ceiling on how much they are willing to pay, much as employers do. Even if the quality of your work would fit above that ceiling, it will be almost impossible to break through as someone else's hired help or as one freelancer among many on an agency's books.

On the other hand, once you have a few good contacts in your personal network and a worthwhile professional reputation as an independent, the "new business" side of things can almost start to take care of itself. Then if you're also good at getting the job done, you can either make significantly more as an individual consultant or start to build your own business and probably one way or another become some sort of intermediary yourself, and either way you'll have a lot more options than someone who talks a good talk but doesn't have the technical skills to walk the walk.
Right. I was expecting a link to a study, but this is just some guy's opinion, which contradicts existing research.

Also, i can't imagine one who has experienced true intrinsic motivation for a sustained period of time saying that it's not more powerful.
Um, they regularly are in power. For example last time socialist parties got 65/150 seats in parliament in the netherlands. Liberals got 25/150 seats. Parties based on religion got 47/150 seats. Note that even liberals are more left wing in many ways than the democrats in the US, but the socialists are not at all like the typical "whaaaa, commies" person imagines them. At least we still seem to be going fine.
The problem is when it is a hot summer day (like today) but it is raining (like today). But in general, working outside (not in the sun... LCD screens suck at that) is a great way to get more "energetic". At least, not to fall in the "it is hot" lethargy!

I would inject into your list of what really matters something Linus said: communication. Having each member of the team (1000 contributors to the kernel by Linus's estimation) in a different corner of the world is a huge consideration.
wordpress is great for quick sites. Long term maintenance is where I have been bitten.
I take slight issue with your examples. Do "Elon, Jobs, Gates" really come to mind first when talking "exponential" genius and accomplishment over say Einstein, Gauss, Neumann etc?
Then these events should be on company time and company dime, since they are clearly profitable, and designed mostly to get more output through morale and communication.
Would be a great feature to add to Google One? Or a reason to switch search engines, I guess.
Marvelous. Anybody got an optimizing malbolge compiler?
Sadly OneLife seems to be powering on. The most depressing part of listening to that podcast was the last episode, when they went to somewhere in Africa (I forget where), and talked to people getting caught up in it. It's spread around the world and is drawing people in everywhere.
So why don’t we have the same issue with Photoshopped images?

We do. Even today, very little of what you see in media is entirely real. The alterations are hardly ever as overt as Trotskyites being airbrushed out of Party publicity photos, but that doesn't mean they aren't being done.

Maybe an African-American person ends up looking a little blacker than they really are if they're being accused of a crime, or a little whiter if they're running for office. Maybe they just sound a little more or less "ethnic" depending on whether the press wants them in office or in jail. Or a video is sped up and slowed down at just the right moments to turn a journalist's uncomfortable question into an unprofessional partisan attack.

IMHO we can expect more of these cognitive shenanigans as the technology improves. Manipulation will be performed not just on the subjects in question, but on the contexts in which they appear.
What I wrote doesn't imply at all that Musk may be on it, or that the person in the call center even exists. What I claim is that with the elements I have, it looks like the head of security maliciously set the cops on the whistle blower.

It would have been easy for Tesla to release a recording of the call, and if it exists the malicious call could be traced.

He could easily have been shot, police being what it is in the US...
Did von Neumann himself ever acknowledge that the whole thing originated somewhere else or did he cite any of that group's findings?

In all documentaries on the origins of computers that I've watched, von Neumann gets all of the recognition while many of us have heard about Eckert and Mauchly from a Wikipedia article or comment deep down a relevant article.
Python at age 16 was my first serious stab at programming.
Started with BASIC on a ZX-81, when that blew we bought an Atari 800 where I learned Action! and Assembly. Learned C on my Atari ST, then on to IBM PC's and Linux.
