Absolutely. 150 USD is a trivial amount of money in most bureaucracies, but the time cost of getting that expense approved and accounted for could be weeks.
> Every other compiler uses feature detection or developer intention

ICC has tons of built-in functions like _mm_div_epi32, _mm256_log10_ps, _mm_sin_ps and many others. These are not hardware intrinsics. These are library functions. Other compilers don’t need to feature detect because unlike Intel’s they don’t have these functions in their standard libraries: no exponents/logarithms, no trigonometry, no integer divides, nothing at all on top of the hardware instructions.

I mostly use VC++ and I had to implement these functions more than once. Funny enough, AMD’s SSEPlus helped even on Intel, despite AMD abandoned the library a decade ago.
It's not a bad question per se. I've met so many people who complain how bad it is for their business because of low margins and etc. For instance, I'd never even consider starting a retail business,as unless you have economies of scale or sell water in the middle of a desert, you'd have to count every penny. However, having said that,I'm more than happy that people start all sorts of businesses,as otherwise we'd all end up selling CDOs to each other...
I tried to report a competitor for vote manipulation last month. They have ~20 answers that have the same ~10 users upvoting every answer (and no other answers). In response, they closed my answers ️.
Those are usually destroyed when their useful life ends, exactly because someone might dig them up later and extract data from them. Large corporate data centers, for example, physically destroy hard disks and never allow them to leave the facility intact.

There will be hard drives left around by individual consumers, I suppose, but the vast majority of all those that exist today are likely to be deliberately destroyed. We're so good at copying and replicating data these days that we no longer rely on hard drives for data permanence over long periods.
that's exactly what you can find at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
Cool, so we're People magazine now, only with a SV focus.

"Silicon People".

Wow, that really works in more than one way.

HN's been a pretty shameless gossip site for a while, nice to see folks finally dropping all pretense about it.
Right, the animated SVG can be demanding for the browser. I will try to solve this in the upcoming days :)
With the exception of typewriter, all of those markets are still around today. Not only that, sailing ships remained vital to intercontinental trade over the next hundred years after steam ships were introduced. These days rail is still hugely important in the transportation of goods and energy all around the world.
Not to knock his accomplishment, because this is really cool. My first thought was: this thing must creak and squeak like crazy as you head down the road.
She is essentially making composite decking but in brick form. The sand filler will probably take a lot of the wear. Solid blocks of plastic last a long time so the degradation will be minimal compared to the waste plastic it is being made from.
Moral arguments are in the west almost always made from a puritanical standpoint, of which this post is a good example. To anyone who isn't puritanical, it's not very interesting to say that because they've already decided they don't think like that. To someone who is, you're posting something they essentially already agree with.

Both of those sides won't really produce interesting discourse, unless you're very invested in making people more (or less) puritanical.
The vast majority of healthcare spending and disease burden is made worse by aging. In cases of diseases like cancer, several orders of magnitude worse.

If we could stretch people's healthspan to 90 or even 110, the resulting society would be much happier and could spend more money on the other important urgent problems.

> Let's not even talk about the fact that any meaningful advances in the field would benefit the top 0.0001% of the world and would never trickle down to the rest of us.

You are literally writing this on a device that 50 years ago would cost millions. It somehow trickled down to you and me.

I fail to see why something that would be almost universally demanded could stay outside of common reach forever.

Consider that just the cost of DNA sequencing, arguably an interesting and important biotech, went down six orders of magnitude within 20 years. It is literally 1000000x cheaper than in the mid-90s.
"Why do you think "entities" would not do these things without being forced? Do these "entities" not benefit from better traffic and managed stormwater?"

Before you advocate muh free market, read about history of urban panning - we tried it, most houses didn't even have sewers. I don't want poop on the streets.

More recently in UK over 100 people burned to death because a massive skyscraper was built with violations of fire safety, and then plasteres with more flamable material.

Do these entities not benefit from not having the building they manage burn to the ground?
Back in 2010 I had my first embedded programming job. I needed to do some network programming in C (controlling a PLC over ethernet). My boss at the time told me "just read Beej's guide and you'll be fine". He was right. That system is running 24/7 since then.

Good to see that the guide is still being updated.

...didn't bother anyone until railroads entered the equation: astrology did take the difference into account, armies didn't move quickly enough to notice it: just keep adjusting to local time every day or so (even on horseback, any tactic is far more dependent on physical limits, so you're coordinating on the order of minutes, not milliseconds).

For railroads, even at 40 kph, an east-west train would be subject to time shift (not in the Lorentz sense, it would just keep switching "timezones" too quickly). Given that the primary security element was "this train is supposed to pass this set of switches between this and that time and wait there, else it risks colliding with that other train running opposite," both accurate timekeeping and geographically wider timezones were needed (as in "the railroad will use its own time, Prague's lunchtimes notwithstanding").
I got fiber at home a few years ago (France). I was with one operator on ADSL before (Free) and asked their customer service when I can switch.

They told me to wait a week for the email which will tell me how to switch.

I waited, called and got fed up with them, asked Orange, they came the day after and I am with them since

I pay 45€ for 1000/400, the reliability of the fiber is ok (I have to force the synchronization once every 2 months), their equipment is shitty and I installed my own router.

Now Free us calling because they finally decided to be a player in the area, after 2 or 3 years.

But at least we have competition because of the law (all ISPs must be able to use the existing fiber)
Yes, just like baseball, gymnastics, golf, skeet shooting, and jet travel.
If I understand the grandparent correctly, there would be no way to determine which rows have a higher work factor. The work factor would be determined when the password is given, based on the password entropy - the correct password will always have the same entropy, therefore the same work factor. If the work factor is calculated on the wrong password (typo, etc.) it will not generate the correct hash anyway. Therefore an attacker has no way of determining which password hashes have a high work factor, and which ones have a low work factor.
You should speak to a real accountant obviously.. but I've heard that its entirely possible to be take on personal liability even if you run an LLC. Again, I'm no expert so talk to an accountant, but I've heard something along the lines of LLC's being run by a single member offering no real liability protection. Many accountants seem to recommend S-Corps, but yeah, if you want to have investors you'll need a C-Corp.

As for separating your business operations from your personal ones, that seems like a responsible thing to do.. so definitely do that.. but speak to a real accountant first
Everybody who is diving off to take advantage of this trick, stop, its not true.

The opensearch protocol describes the onsite search interface, so browsers (that support it) can add that search engine as an option. So, in effect, the opensearch link on the AirBnB sist is just saying "hey, if you want you can access the AirBnB search engine straight from your browser".

It has absolutely nothing to do with how google (etc.) index and display your site in their search results.

Instead, the AirBnB homepage comes up as 'AirBnB' (mostly) because it has a huge number of trusted incoming links containing hypertext 'AirBnB'. Google treats these as kind of 'alternative title text suggestions', and if you get enough they can override the actual page text in some cases.

So the trick is (as always) to link build.
How do we increase the chance to get sitelinks to show up on google?

Do I pay when I receive one of these text messages?
The phrase is not meant to be literally. For example if someone hits you, you fall and become paraplegic obviously you aren't made stronger.

The idea as applied to your example is that if the kid is pushed around day after day then maybe by the 100th day he'll realise the bullies don't have any _real_ power over him. He'll become resilient to their bullying. If he is smart he'll learn tactics to combat their bullying, be they by avoiding the bullies, talking to them or hitting the gym and learning martial arts. The saying is basically saying the longer you are exposed to setbacks the longer you have to overcome them.

In that regard, if the MtGox demise doesn't take out bitcoin completely the bitcoin that rises will be more wary of exchanges that cannot or will not prove their reserves. There have already been multiple ideas put forth for how this can be done and I think I even saw a post on HN with someone who claims to have implemented one of them.

This brings up something interesting: In terms of media containing sprites and minimal layering (e.g. NES-like games), wouldn't it be computationally cheaper to perform the scaling on the sprites and textures independently of one another, instead of post-processing? I wonder if there is any emulator that does this. I'm thinking not, as the NES wouldn't be capable of layering such detail (large sprites + textures). Upsampling emulators.. Hmm...
It does not directly, but that's not important in markets, what matters is what people believe and how much the believe it. It also helps that it's most likely true anyways.
Asus PQ321Q.
We definitely are. Flash websites were super common at all levels; Now you rarely get the over-the-top website with zero accessibility, they’re more expensive.

I’m not counting ad tech and the various user-hostile websites because they’d have happened in Flash too (rather, Flash ads were already a thing too)
The payment gateway stuff is a real pain, I'll give you that.

For the rest, your responsibilities don't really change. Either you're going to respond to your users (customers) and maintain the app, or you're not. That has nothing to do with money.

If you aren't planning on supporting an app, you should probably make that clear in the first place. Remember: Your users are investing their time in you, and to them that's worth at least as much as their money.
Beware lock-in, though. If you're doing 1-time payments it's not so bad, but subscriptions are basically impossible to migrate from one platform to another.
If this is the case, I think the article could have made it more clear that the problem was with software not under the author's control. All the article mentions is "the application registering the device," and I assumed that it was their application which was not sending the header. So a browser won't send a Content-Length header for a PUT request if there is no body?

I'm not criticizing the article itself; it was a nice beginner guide to making quick changes to an existing C project. My only criticism is that the first step when considering whether to make a change to a code base is to fully evaluate whether that change is appropriate, if it is fixing the problem in the right place. Perhaps the author did this and the article simply failed to mention it.
IE is actually 5% with 90% out of it IE8 and 10% IE7.
The nostalgia in this article really bothers me, in some ways. Maybe I'm just oversensitive, but it just seems like there's a lot of unacknowedged white male bias. Where are the women talking about how incredibly sexist everyday society was, or the black people talking about open, shameless racism?

I am about to take off on a plane so I don't have much else to say, but this was really bothering me.
TL;DR. Are they releasing the full logs or not?
I'm one of those guys who didn't necessarily pay a lot of attention to maths in college - not that I don't see the value in it, but it is certainly not a core interest. However, I've been slowly getting more and more into maths and the science of primes. So this post (and the questions the Ulam spiral asks) strike me at the worst of times and the best of times.

If you're at least a bit like me (no deep knowledge of maths, but growing curiosity) I recommend checking out BBC's recent documentary on primes, called 'The Music of the Primes'. It'll spark your interest, and it'll make you want to dig a little deeper.
What is the offer mentioned in the item title. 'Offer HN'.

Sorry to be negative but I'm not sure a podcast counts as an offer.

Prices for block trades aren't necessarily the same as "normal" prices. I've noticed that quite a few banks when doing VWAP calculations will do separate calculations including and excluding block trades rather than treating them as identical.
I think you might misunderstand how these systems work.

Your mirror analogy is more correctly applied to current military stealth systems: tricks of geometry are used to make the vehicle harder to detect.

With these "invisibility cloaks" there is no indication to the observer that the object even exists. The light appears to have passed completely through the object and reflected off the surface below with no interference.

>> Countries exist that have dozens of languages and tribes. They usually have endless social problems, unrest, civil wars and often break up.

> Oh yeah, the history of the Swiss in the context of Europe is just non-stop insanity and violence. If only they could aspire to be more monocultural and peaceful, like their neighbors, the Germans...

The Swiss, and their cantons, have almost un-heard-of amount political power and freedom. There is direct democracy where state matters are directly voted by the people. Also the Swiss cantons are sovereign don't have to follow federal law!

There is no need to rebel, if you can do whatever you want.

In some sense, the Swiss works more like a collection of tribes than a country.
One of the things I really want to see is both IE and Safari move to the six weekly update cycle that Firefox and Chrome are using.

Whereas I would really like IE not to do that, and ideally Firefox and Chrome to move to longer cycles (minimum 6 months, preferably annual) for their main public releases.

One good reason for this is that there is no point in having browsers support new features within moments of someone conceiving them unless developers are also keeping up with new developments at the same pace. Take three major browsers on a six-weekly cycle and you literally need to be updating your skill set every two weeks and have projects to work on where those new skills are actually useful. Unless all you do is write trendy web development blogs for a living, you are not likely to be in this category.

Another good reason is that both Firefox and Chrome have horrible records for quality since going to six-weekly release cycles, both in terms of bugs/regressions and because they frequently implement new features that tick boxes but have such poor quality of implementation that they aren't actually useful for production work anyway. For example, right now, both Firefox and Chrome have numerous glitches and performance problems in popular HTML/CSS features like animations, web fonts, multimedia elements, and SVG, to the extent that you can't reliably assume even relatively simple applications will work without extensive and ongoing testing.

Recent versions of IE stand in sharp contrast to that pattern, and as such I think IE now provides both a valuable brake on the industry and a demonstration that having a solid, fast implementation of some features is far more useful in practice than having unreliable and/or slow implementations of more features.

(Edit: It's disappointing to see multiple downvotes yet no responses. This happens all too often when I express the unpopular-but-based-on-hard-data view that Firefox and Chrome are often slow and/or buggy when it comes to new features, even though numerous articles and blog posts giving specific examples in the areas I mentioned are yours to read for the price of a Google search.)
Sonic Pi does borrow (steal) a lot of ideas from Overtone. However, the goals are fundamentally different. Overtone aims to give you (the programmer) as much power as possible to create new instruments. Sonic Pi aims to be as simple as possible for everyone (including programmers) to use code to make music.

That said, we still aim to increase the power Sonic Pi offers. It's just that we'll not add any features that make it more complex than it already is without serious thought :-)
Right - set out with a clear purpose in mind, produce a clean, elegant design, and be delighted when it can do other things too. That is the Unix philosophy too, or it was before systemd, the F35 of init systems.
>> just start a server or an app with different env variables in the command line.

Either of that seems to be able to be read straight from argv[0] of the process, so don't forget about cleaning that up.
My own personal evaluation of Spartan is beside the point. The sponsorship is relevant and should be explicitly disclosed.
Wow.. Thanks for the very useful info. I'll look into the Twilio and Plivo. Is the service anyway location-dependent because to my web-app, I'm expecting calls only from India and so, I don't want my users to call an international number. Will it be an issue? I'm assuming the answer to be a no because Twilio runs on AWS which must make it location-independent.
No, it would just waste everyone's time. Why would you intentionally want to preface the meat of an article with disclaimers like that, especially if (as you say) the disclaimers wouldn't actually affect your interpretation of the article? That's pretty much the definition of cruft.
That looks like flowbased programming in a nutshell. Except you can't create your own components.
"An address will exist in the country's postal service's database"

This is the one that I've run afoul of -- not because I live in a brand-new building, or a houseboat, or 30 miles from anywhere on an unnamed road; it's just that there is no door-to-door delivery for houses within a 2-block radius of the local post office, so we have a PO box.

The trouble happens when a business that needs my street address uses the USPS database for address verification. One example is online stores that don't ship to PO boxes. Some of these sites have a form with a sort of "Are you sure" prompt when my street address isn't recognized; others just refuse to accept it.

Even worse was when the local company that picked up my trash was bought by one of the larger regional "waste management" operations, and all the drivers' routes were re-planned for "efficiency" (evidently using software that hit some USPS database); the upshot was that everyone on my street had their address removed from the pickup routes.
Did you try pre-filling the address field with an example address (John Doe, 123 Example Avenue, Hobbiton 1234) to make it clear what is required? (Although it seems like placeholder text only works with textarea fields since HTML5...)
I'd say a fixed cadence, especially when combined with a relatively inflexible scope (pre-announced features, features tied to new hardware, etc.), is, at a minimum, a significant contributor to the problem. If there's an unexpected problem late in the development cycle, what's going to give?
I guess the best answer here is to talk to people. But if you truly know no wealthy people in technology, that might be hard. Wealthy people usually have wealthy friends, and they tend to invest together (risk spreading).

Pure technical products are usually harder to find investors for, but regardless, you should focus on results/value. If getting an average app developed costs you $20k on iOS, and $20k on Android, then show investors that by using your technology, the second $20k for the Android app can be saved. Don't talk about technical stuff, such as classes/methods/blabla. They won't care, unless they're a software guy themselves.

A question: How does the user experience of these apps feel, in comparison to a native Android app? I can see this idea working perfectly for games, but for apps?

Do you have any sample apps?

What do you need the money for?
I've been programming in emacs since 1992, 2014 was the year I finally gave up and started to move into IDEs (having to target android was the primary motivation for using something else, but I'm rapidly getting spoiled, and am going to shell out for clion once it's done).

There's stuff I miss about emacs, and I'll keep using it for text files and r code and other stuff (it's still my primary python editor until I get around to trying pycharm), but by and large I think I'm done with it for c/c++.
One bit of feedback: the text under the item descriptions is such a light gray that, on my monitor (MacBook) it can't be read at all.
Also quite interesting, the thesis supervisor is/was Claude E. Shannon! THE Shannon of famous information theory.
Saw this on Dwell the other day. They have some crazy/awesome stuff going on. Not sure about their range, but they seem pretty cool. Can't wait to try their latest product.
That got me at first, too. If you'll notice, the slides are 'chapters' that you can click on to try the challenges therein contained.
