I don't know if you remember, but many heads of banks were brought before congress to answer for the financial crisis. But it just turned out that many of them had not done anything illegal (or at least, not provably so).
I didn't see brain size linked directly to diet here, only saw it on the infographic. In another study recently, I saw brain size linked to the challenge of hunting large animals (like cave bears and mammoths)
Yes but my point was, the range/recharging situation is a differentiator from other electrics for now, and reasonably practical, while acceleration far exceeds most gasoline cars in its price range.

From a quick google, the fastest BMW 3-series is the 330i, at 5.3 seconds 0-60. The M240i xDrive does 4.2 seconds. For a few thousand more, the Model 3 Performance does 3.1.

Tesla's instant response is another fun advantage, and reviews have been very positive on Model 3 handling. The bottom line is, it's a fun car and people like it. It's not just virtue/status signaling and environmentalism.
It is literally a milestone on a list of milestones.

Ok, here are some good German movies just from the top of my head:

- The Lives of Others

- The Tin Drum

- Goodbye Lenin!

- Downfall

- The Edukators

- Berlin Calling

- Benny’s Video
They have been doing more viewer questions. Or no questions at all recently.
Yes, there are logs of CCS charging sites but IMHO the whole Tesla charging environment is miles ahead of any of the others. To charge while I'm on the road, I just ask my car for the nearest charging location. It pulls up a map with all the nearest ones and gives me details about each one; if there are stalls available, what speed the chargers are, if there is a nearby coffee shop, etc. On the way there, the car prepares itself for charging, warming the battery if necessary, etc. When I get there I just pull in and plug in the car; no messing with a CC or an app, no trying to find out how much it costs, nothing. I walk away and the car lets me know when it's done.

I'm not positive, but from everything I've seen about other BEV systems, this experience is fairly unique. Every review of competitors (Polestar, VW, Ford, etc.) I see on YouTube reports that charging those cars is much more difficult than it should be and is awash of unique and disparate motions.
I was scrolling down the comments to see if someone has this problem...they lost my mail too. No way to recover it then, huh? This is sad.
Does anybody without a unix/POSIX background even bother tinkering with PowerShell? Yes, it's a cool idea, as well, especially if your source data is in MS-Office, but I've not seen it put to much use.
I'm a big fan of Elm but it's still experimental. Major non-backward-compatible changes to the languages still happen sometimes in new releases. Not the same thing, really.

(Don't know that much about the others.)
Apparently she had a restraining order against her. She had been stalking Ren & Stimpy creator John K.
Interesting definition of polite.
I'm just going to leave this here:

> Police are clearly happy with the results and the shops are also pleased with not have knives waved in their faces

Emphasis mine.
Wondering how to program C=64 demos back in the mid 80s kickstarted my interest in computers and ultimately my career. Jim Butterfield's "Machine Language for the Commodore 64, 128, and Other Commodore Computers"[1] got me started on this path when I was 12.

But then getting a reference to a bound method is simpler in Python: bound_method = object.method

In JavaScript one would have to write: var bound_method = object.method.bind(object);
Yeah, here in Singapore I've witnessed several instances of really "Wait, why would you do that?!" urban redesign by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. I would assume that the people working in there must be passionate about urban spaces and would've read Jacobs, but it seems otherwise. (Stripping of street life because of regulations about painting old shophouses, etc)
I can assure you that it does work. Not sure about 340f though.

I baked a Nvidia GTX470 at 390f for 10 minutes and it eliminated the artifacts/crashing and has been working fine for months.

It probably won't work forever, but it is at least a temporary fix.
Not even close to unique. As I've said elsewhere, I haven't really got a problem with Node.js, but the hype is toxic. It has some nifty features but the standard hype-pack contains several lies about how unique Node.js is, or how performant it is. For the most part Erlang dominates it on all straight-up feature points, for instance, but it isn't Javascript. It very, very isn't Javascript, for both better and worse. But there are several languages that actually fail to block much better than Node.js.

In fact, Node.js isn't what I personally would call "non-blocking", as it only has the weakest form of it. Node.js has cooperative multitasking; writing an infinite loop still takes everything down. Erlang, Haskell, and a growing number of other languages have preemptive multitasking, while still having sane concurrency compared to lock-based threading; infinite loops are still bad but will only lock up that local-running-unit (thread, process, whatever). That's non-blocking; within reason (modulo bugs, deliberate hostile attempts, etc), nothing you do in one thread will block another.

If you need to shuffle various things around, Node.js is OK, but if you actually need to compute something that may take significant fractions of a second, you're going to have some sort of problem. Maybe that problem is bad latency on your other requests, maybe your problem is a sudden and bizarre need to chop up an otherwise-straightforward computation into many little pieces so other things get a chance to run which is easier said than done (chop too fine, lose performance, chop too coarse, lose latency on other responses, getting this right is very tricky), maybe you're going to have to manage worker OS processes, but it's going to poke out somewhere.

Again, I don't really have a problem with Node.js, but the hype needs to be taken out back and shot.
Not your brother.
> LaTeX conversion usually requires three different tools

That's what shell scripts are for. It is trivial to write a script that will accept a LaTeX filename and run the necessary commands on it. It is only a little bit more work to add in hooks (e.g., to your IDE) such that the script is run automatically upon saving the file.

Moreover, with .tex files being plain-text, you could even write simple scripts to assist with updating the documents themselves. Something like "add-new-reference" or "update-hobbies" could accept input from the user and add it to the .tex file quite trivially.

This is in contrast to a GUI program, where you are basically forced to fire up a heavyweight editor, perform the changes by hand, and then perform each export one-by-one, also by hand. I know you could script old versions of OpenOffice using Java or Python, but that ends up being way more convoluted than doing the equivalent with a .tex file.
Thanks for the information, one of the most interesting thing for me is if in most states in US you can deduct taxes if you buy normal things, like a car, a computer, and so forth. In Italy everybody cites the US as example of how taxes should be payed (at least about the general model: everybody pays but less, if you don't pay: huge troubles). One if this dogma about the US system is that you can deduce everything you spend more or less.
Playing devil's advocate here -- I'm totally opposed to the death penalty. However ...

From the government's point of view, why should crimes of violence like murder or aggravated sexual assault warrant a harsh punishment, but economic crimes that affect vastly greater numbers of people receive more lenient treatment?

Given that we can approximate a lifetime's productive labour to, say, $1M, a fraud involving multiple millions in stolen money amounts to alienating multiple life's worth of work. Steal $500M and you've done the equivalent of wiping out five hundred lifetimes' work.

If your perspective is that the judicial system exists to punish crimes against the state, then a $500M fraud is considerably worse than the actions of a serial killer.

(That's not the judicial theory we run on here in Scotland, but it's rather closer to the way things work in one-party states.)
> But at least anecdotally the upper management I have talked to in tech companies are saying that WFH has dropped productivity significantly.

Curious: has any major tech company yet publicly provided numbers showing WFH negatively impacts productivity or profitability?
I don't think the problem is their reliance on fertilizers. It's their reliance on the modern agro business. Any farm today has to generate an insane amount of a monoculture to make any money, and thus has to "roid up" their farm to do so. It's bad for the environment, it's bad for us... the only people it's good for is the middle men.

(a lot of the problem is not directly the farm, but the people who rent or lease land, the prices paid for a given crop, etc. It's very much a systemic economic problem)

Without modern agro business practices, we still make enough food to export most of it. The USA today makes $131 Billion dollars exporting food & feed using unsustainable practices. (it's worth noting that this number is going down, because other countries don't like our food processing standards; one of the reasons TTIP was blocked)

Cut that in half, and we'd still make $70 Billion, but we'd only have to produce half as much. Improve our farming & food processing standards, and it might actually increase, as we could become a preferred market in a world with higher food and environmental standards.
I've always suspected the optimal experience is a balance...we define some intermediate language that both the computers need to be programmed to understand and humans need to be trained to adopt.

The most obvious example is learning to type...I've had by far the most fun working with computers in a keyboard-centric environment, mostly because I'm good enough at pressing keys and the computer is good enough at understanding them.

That said, I agree with both you and GP: trying to train a layperson to talk differently based on the quirks of the codec used to encode their voice seems like a poor choice!
Oh that is a self-coined term...sorry! Basically (as I understand it as a layman) the query planner can "choose" to perform a sequential scan instead of use an index when executing a query. For "normal" sized workloads on "traditional" hardware (like 5400 rpm disk drives) this is a performance gain, but for large data sets it can cripple performance and even lock up a DB.
I can't say that the "health of CBDs" has come up in my company's discussions over the future of remote work. And I'm not sure why the company would care. We don't own any real estate. We lease our office space. I think this must be true of 95%+ of companies in Boston/Cambridge, where I'm located.
I think it would set exactly the right precedent. Anyone else who receives stolen goods, whether knowingly or not, has to give it back, and might be found liable.
I wish I could give you pros and cons, but I've never touched pdb or used a python IDE before myself. In my 3 years of programming, I've only used print statements to debug (for Python programs).

I'll be adding more documentation soon, but perhaps this is a more informative use case: Too often in my Python programs, I'll do something like,
print("x is: " + str(x)).
That's already too much to keep typing, but sometimes I'll want to know the type, or maybe it's a dictionary and printing without separators makes them blend together (say, in a for loop). In that case, I'll do:
print("---------\nx is: " + str(x) + "\n")

The library allows this to be simplified to "ps.d(x)". It's rather opinionated towards my own workflow and what I was too lazy to keep doing. Perhaps I'll try pdb one day and find my library useless.
> Objects don't live on their own, in a typical OOP program there are bits of code all over the place that operate on your data objects. Finding all the ways that a personel record is modified can be a tricky problem.

Searching for all the code that touch an Employee record class is much easier than searching for all the code that touch a generic hashmap that supposes to contain the employee data.
Yeah, IE has a tendency to make people lose their mind.
<3 the look. Also <3 the content. Also Also <3 url.
Seems neat, but it would have been nice to differentiate itself from backbone a little more upfront. The sites even look similar.

The key architectural difference seems to be that the ui is updated before the server responds, which is great in a single user situation, but can get pretty inconsistant once you're in a multi user app.

I do have to say that I like the patterns section at the end, it's always good to see a prescription for how you would use a library or framework.
Isn't lift generated by Newton's Third Law? For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
This isn't Backbone.js -- it's an alternative. Different codebase, different function names, partially overlapping API.

At the top of the FAQ, he answers some of the comparison questions: http://maccman.github.com/spine/#h-faq

The bit about it being smaller is pretty misleading (especially when comparing 2k to 3k) -- it may be 500 lines instead of 1100, but the 1100 are heavily commented, and the 500 are entirely comment-less. It also doesn't include any of the collection mapping, filtering, and aggregation functions, which contain a large part of the usefulness of Backbone when used with real models.
Was going to post that too. This story was just on the front page yesterday. I can understand dupes of interesting/useful articles reappearing weeks or months later, but one day later?
You might try here, http://planet.perl.org/ , though you'll have to wade through a lot of other perl stuff. They aggregate several perl blogs.

I can't find the article now, but I remember reading that the IE7 mode in IE8 had a ton of little gotchas. They were pretty much all the type of things that weren't a big deal on their own, but cumulatively it mad testing for IE7 on IE8 totally worthless. I think the tests would be unreliable, plus the amount of minutia you would have to mentally track about what is emulated properly and what is not was huge. My feeling after reading this article was that the simplest route, unfortunately is to have virtual Machines with the different browsers on them.
No, it does not. If you pay taxes here, you have to have health insurance. For a permanent employee, this is about 14% of your salary. All in, I pay about a third of my income in tax (which includes health insurance).
I was thinking of the NYT articles. Even if I don't have to pay to read them, the principle is the same. I shouldn't have to register on a site to read the content. I can understand registering to interact (comment, etc) but not to simply access.
Point (1) does not fit with my experience here at all. Kreuzberg is central, cheap and very lively.
I haven't noticed any paywalled stories recently, but let's roll with them existing: I'm unconcerned. Not everybody is going to get equal value out of every HN story. Our community has too diverse interests for that. This is OK. I don't read the Silicon Valley inside baseball about funding, but it is very interesting to many folks here. Similarly, scalable software marketing (email, SEO, whatever) really catches my attention and yet might be boring for folks whose main challenge is fundraising.

You're a poor college student. I sympathize: I was once a poor college student. I am no longer a poor college student. Most of us here are not poor college students. Many of us run profitable businesses. Some pay amounts which would stagger your imagination for "content" (scare quotes because I don't really like that word). Content is, ahem, not a commodity -- the existence of free "content" doesn't compete with the stuff I care about any more than the existence of free food competes with those very ritzy Chicago restaurants Thomas likes.
Upvoted from 0 because I agree - beautiful as a mini demonstration, not as in "look at the lovely image!"
The term "paywall" requires there to be a payment involved, which is not the case with NYTimes.
Yeah, I kinda consider guys fighting for the women right just an another expression of sexism.
It's even more fun when people downvote objective, verifiable facts with which they apparently disagree. I will never stop shaking my head in sadness at seeing that happen.
Well, if you want to go pro, you would have to go with a Wacom Cintiq.
Thanks for the advice and retweet Hrishi! There won't be many days left then, but hopefully we reach the $2,000 just in time!
I'm pondering installing a graphic interface on my home NAS-like Manjaro server so I can just watch my movies and shows directly through it.

Last time I tried this, XFCE was quite adequate. Not much customisation or anything fancy but I don't need it for a KODI-like machine anyway.

So I wonder: is Budgie a viable candidate? Screenshots around the net look really nice but I'm skeptical how lightweight is it. For example, can I play 60FPS movies? RAM usage isn't a concern; the server has 32GB of it.

Apologies if all this comes off as a bit naive; I deliberately have mostly avoided Linux desktop so far and I'm now finding myself in a position when I don't know much about it.
You say that as if the likes of Microsoft or Linux kernel devs consist exclusively of elite C devs.

I'm very glad languages like Go and Rust exist, but saying you shouldn't write C because you might create memory leaks is kind of like saying you shouldn't write multi-threaded code because you might create race conditions. Yeah, it adds complexity to your code, but it's sometimes worth the overhead it saves. Whether that trade-off is worth it is always up for debate.
Radin claims in his meta analyses he gets powerball level results, much beyond that in fact.

Either these are some quite incompetent and/or deceitful researchers, or they have found something we currently cannot explain.
The fact that Turbo tax has at least 2 totally different free products, only one of which is part of FreeFile[1], and the other of which has a whole slew of exclusion criteria, mainly tied to which tax forms you will need to file is completely absurd. The IRS should really tell the FFA members that their advertised free product must be the same as or a superset of their FreeFile offering.
Android putting graphics drivers outside the kernel and not under the GPL has created enough of a disaster. I don't look forward to the day when everyone is running a kernel that doesn't force SoC manufactures to share even the most basic drivers.
As a software developer, I can use a Surface device (I even use a Surface Go). I can't as yet effectively use any iPad/Pro.
Yes the truth is masks help, but officials decided to lie about this to prevent panic over lack of masks. But this is damaging not only to official credibility but also to the response. A big demand for masks in January could have forced new supply chains to develop in the west. That would have averted some of the current disaster happening where hospitals can't get masks.
I think Google has a responsibility to coordinate with the local governments. If the German government tries to facilitate digital solutions why take the ultimate measure on these apps without a proper review?
I left home at 15 and some adults who worked together let me move in with them and be their maid. I paid $150 a month in rent and got $10 a month to live on. I worked out how to live off Milo (a Jamaican malt supplement), Chips Ahoy cookies (1/2 a cookie a day for a treat) and dumpster dived vegetables (mostly cabbages and carrots). I lived like this for years, when I got my first real jobs I made sure to save at least 80% of every paycheck. I retired at 35 and now I write about the apocalypse (one feature film, various shorts, one book, graduate degree in Equity Studies/lots of essays and conferences). I know live a very easy comfortable life, but most see me as bizarre because i have no furniture and do not buy any beauty products (I've never purchased shampoo or paid for a hair cut - I am female). There is an equal proportion of happy memories scattered throughout my life, some of my happiest were when I had literally nothing but one dress and 4 pairs of stolen Zellers underwear and was sleeping in a car. The form of our lives impoverishes experience of reality as much, if not more, as the content. It's a whole we do not see for the misplaced desire for displays of wealth over relationships with everything and everyone.
I am working on a reminder app to help with power users.

What features would you like to see in a iOS and Apple Watch reminder app.

Currently contemplated use-cases:

* Set schedule created with on-click (multiple reminders)
* soft confirm before next time
* escalating reminders if you don’t confirm

If you have any use-cases, suggestions or questions email me at: ragnar.azru@gmail.com
Yes exactly. The market may resemble a random walk in the short term, over days, but it is driven by economic forecasts and company results in the long term (the long term is also more than the 3 year timing given).

Absent any of that information, obviously you can’t guess how the stocks will move (i.e. time the market), except that they will in aggregate move gradually upwards in price as all currencies aim for inflation.

With that information, sometimes the way the market will move over a time period of years is clear. Clearly the consensus moves in a panicky way with the latest news, and constantly undershoots or overshoots real returns, but it is based on real returns in the long run.
I think tattoos and piercings are stupid for the same reason.

Dental surgeries can make you look normal and improve function. Pacemakers help you live longer.

There are things that regular people can do that will survive their deaths. Mostly, having children. But also having close relationships with other people who will remember you, tell stories about you, and so on. I expect plenty of people on HN will write code that will survive them.
> Europeans are right to feel insecure as they go back into recession

What's that got to do with the price of tea in China? You seem to grasp at every opportunity to harp on the 'recession in Europe', the subject here is LGBT rights in case you failed to notice.

Civil rights in the US have indeed made massive strides in the past 70 years, but there is still a long long way to go. I'd hate to be born black and/or gay in roughly 50% of the US states today.
Of note is that most of what are called "distributed social networks" are actually federated social networks.
I agree with you about signaling, but I thought there might be another effect here. The people that started the term sounded like they watched the show when they were young. It could have simply been that they revisited the show when they were a bit older, and realized "it sucks." Not because the show was very different, but because they were.

I didn't watch the show (although I was/am the right age to have done so), so I don't have an opinion as to whether the show got better, worse, or stayed the same after that episode.
Mint is great if you're running a Wordpress blog
