Well, one way or another, once you get reproducible experimental results that conflict with known physics, someone has to do the due diligence in finding the flaw, it would be irresponsible to shrug and say "ah, must be a fluke, who cares why".

Perhaps if we had a whole range of other promising avenues to explore for new phsyics (like natural scientists a century or two ago), then it would be different, but as of now it seems there's not much competition that's more promising than the EmDrive was.
And you weren't happy giving out the source code? Even if you weren't charging money for this I'm struggling to be sympathetic
That should be cheap and easy.
I don't want to cast from the cloud. Just make the device able to receive any media from my LAN!!

it's nice that the dongle can stream from the web, but it's way more useful to make the device aware of upnp/dlna devices over my local network.

Because of this I've moved to raspberry which

- exposes itself over the network as a upnp device
- plays remote media in the main TV
- acts as a nas, it can stream to kids' room
- downloads media via torrents (that I can remotely control)

Plus it's a fully Linux environment that I can fine tune as desired
hi!!!!!!
That was part of my point. Prefab parts, but they weren't ridiculously faster than a western crew using regular methods.
Then please don't spam hn before you actually launch.
I, who dropped out of CompSci after my first year, was a small-time shadow scholar.

It started innocently enough: I wasn't working, and a friend of a friend who was doing her Master's (in Education, wouldn't you know) needed help typing and formatting a document according to APA Style. I needed the money, so I visited her at the school where she worked. I took the draft she had penned and started reading.

I nearly vomited.

The quality of writing was atrocious. It wasn't just 'bad', or 'needing improvement'. It was shockingly, horrifyingly terrible.

Poor structure. Poor grammar. Not answering the question. excessive circumlocution. Hackneyed phrases every other sentence.

I diplomatically told her that I would 'change some of the words'. As she dictated and I typed, I changed sentence order and modified her word choices. When it was finished, there was a semblance of respectability. A few days later, I heard that the lecturer loved it.

That, dear friend, was the beginning. I completed quite a few assignments for her, but stopped after she started quibbling over the already small fee I charged. (Note to self: Always charge what you're worth.)

Sometime later, a neighbour in my building called me upstairs to help a friend of his. She was typing a paper for her degree to submit that evening, and he, knowing my language skills and typing speed wanted me to help. I went, sat down, and read.

Oh, dear.

I told her that in all honesty, it sucked. I made a few changes, typed up the rest. 'Twas enough for her to get hooked.

Over the next two years, I did several assignments for her. It got to where she would simply email me the research question, and I'd 'learn' the subject (yes, in 2 hours), get references, and like 'Ed Dante' divide the paper into sections, and prepare material. I could do a 10 page paper in one day, which would probably net a 90% grade or better. This was after never having heard of the topic before. She would get wonderful comments from lecturers about her 'wonderful exposition' and 'excellent analysis'. This from a girl who, although not dunce, could never verbally put sentences together half that well. I often wondered about the intellectual prowess, or lack thereof, of her teachers.

It's a smug feeling, walking around as a college dropout while knowing that you can run intellectual circles around people with graduate degrees. I should note, though, that these were all humanities subjects: Use 10 words where 1 would suffice and make up some bullshit, and you're good to go. It doesn't have to make sense because Most teachers aren't going to read it anyway!

For those of us here on HN, who are in all probability above the average, it might be difficult to understand how stupid most people are; but take it from me: they are. Very.

I'm done with it now, though. I hated researching stuff that bored me, although I sometimes learned a lot. The most important lesson?

The world is bullshit.

is this different from the many "rate my start-up" posts?

I think what you'll find in many of the responses to those posts is UX feedback, along with the business/idea feedback, etc.

I'm happy to help out with my input and hope it is helpful, but at the same time, I don't think I want to get involved in an iterative process of UX feedback, mostly because

a) I don't think it would be efficient or effective for me or the person I'm providing the repeated feedback to, and

b) I only have so much time to be introduced to new ideas/designs/etc. Unless it is a product I really care about, I don't want to go over something with only a UX eye.

Personally, I just don't see HN as the place for this to happen. However, there may be an opportunity for a UX focused site where people would be willing to gather for UX feedback.
I remembered I had an aliased .com from back in the day, but I wanted to point out that not every US company's website or email address ends in .com, .net, or .org (and conversely, many foreign companies do have .com, .net, or .org domain names). It's not a good way of determining whether or not a company is based in the US.
Thanks. We did address that.

If you want to emigrate it makes life a little easier.
Firstly a huge number of developers are employed in a wide variety of roles in financial firms. Pretty much any development job possible from language engineering to ajax can be found in banking.

At smaller firms you'll have a smaller number of roles, typically they'll be back-office stuff (settlement, position reconciliation etc.), front-office stuff (stuff that directly makes money, algo trading, risk management, etc.) and a few bit and pieces in between (exchange connectivity, etc).

In general the money you get in banking is more than you'll get doing the same role outside of banking. The most money is in front-office and the least in back-office, although the difference in base salary isn't generally huge, the bonus can be depending on the firm.

Not everyone is suited to front-office though, for a front-office role you'll need the social skills to deal with the traders, quants, etc and the work can be more stresful. When you have a bad deadline in back-office it's typically "we need to get this work done by the end of the week for compliance reasons otherwise the regulator might give us a slap", for front office it can well be "we need to fix this right now as we're pissing money down the drain". Life in the back-office is generally more laid back with shorter hours (depends on firm though). Front-office is where the fun is generally though and tends to have lots of smart people.

In either case you're also generally expected to do a certain amount of out-of-hours support (if you're code is being used out-of-hours), but how much varies a lot. You should ask about this in the interview. Also you probably want to avoid any role that involves a large amount of legacy code (this is probably true in any sector).

Salarywise for an experienced senior dev in a front office role at a small hedge fund/prop shop I'd expect a total package (base+bonus) in the region of $200-$300k. Remember that small hedge funds do have a high failure rate, but that should be taken into account by the higher salary.

If you're solidly competent C++ or Java programmer you shouldn't have a problem getting a job in the financial sector, especially if you're good at things like multi-threading, etc.

There's a couple of books I'd recommend "So You Want To Be a Wall Street Programmer?" by Andrey Butov (a good overview but pretty light, you should be able to read it in a couple of hours) and "capital markets for quantitative professionals" by Alex Kuznetsov (a much heftier book but the first half is an introduction to financial markets and the second half is an introduction to the various bits of technology that you'd find in a bank).
Their FAQ has a section on how many instances are on each host, which is 40 for 0.5GB and 20 for 1GB etc (ie, 20GB of customer instances per host, regardless of instance size). Which would mean that when you go for twice as much ram, you also get twice as much of everything else. The front page lists disk space and bandwidth, and these also scale linearly with ram size.
No, he has a glorious neckbeard. He fits my stereotype perfectly!
My mom is a psychologist and she travelled to the U.S. just to attend one of his courses (we're Swedish). She had never played tennis but she got elected as the one he would teach how to serve and she managed to hit almost all serves after 20 minutes. She got so excited that she brought me to the U.S. to practice for a couple of days with Tim Gallwey's tennis-partner Sean Brawley.Throughout my life I've always been extremely bad at performing under pressure (especially in tennis) but he taught me things about myself which improved my tennis more in an hour than a full year of practice with any other coach. I never became a good tennis player (partly because I'm cross-eyed and therefore lack normal depth perception) but I've had amazing use of the tricks he taught me and a couple of years ago it helped me win the World Championship in NHL 2004. It still amazes me how I managed to overcome my extreme performance anxiety (which has always stopped me from performing well when it mattered the most) and focus, while having four TV-cameras right behind me. It was like someone else was playing for me.
Are there any forks yet?
Is it harder or easier to fork a project like MySQL?
+1 for the idea. Should do the same for Java too.
That's hard for me to know because, as a TA, I mostly get to see students when they're confused or frustrated, up against a deadline. The fact that almost all our students are also enrolled in spring 251 with Luis von Ahn, and therefore incredibly overworked, doesn't help.

However, a reasonable proportion of students seem interested, and a handful are overtly enthusiastic about the course. If I had to guess I'd say it won't be an order-of-magnitude improvement over 212, but it will be significant one, if only because it will reach more students earlier in their undergraduate careers. However, only time will tell.

As for 212's reputation, you and I must run in different circles; I know plenty of FP enthusiasts who got their first taste in 212. I suspect a strong selection bias is at work here.
Interesting that Tyco and Enron execs are sitting in prison for doing something far short of this. The receipt is really out right fraud.
In order for a speculator to lift the price and sustain it, they'd need to actually take delivery of oil and remove it from the system. If they're exiting before the delivery date then they're not generating underlying demand, which means they can't sustain an impact on the price of the underlying.

This thread was about speculators pushing prices higher, and I was outlining the only viable way where I saw that they could push prices higher, and then explaining why it didn't make sense as a business model.
There is no problem to fix - JavaScript is the 2nd best language. LISP is better. KnR C is 3rd. No good language is easy to learn and understand.
Thanks, I joined that group. I'm in the south but if the event has a 'scene' around it, maybe it would still be useful for me?
Somebody enlighten me: in this day and age, with, you know, the Internet, why do recruiters exist at all? Why don't people just go up to companies and ask for jobs? Why don't companies go out and try to find people themselves? It seems like the results would be completely guaranteed to be better.
I just have to say, I've been following this project for awhile. I've been hoping that it progresses beyond experimental stages. The two concept videos on YouTube are great.
Or one can even consider taking a shot at GNU DMD with Guix. Alpha-quality software, but it looks promising (at least for brave and true schemers).
It's like when you are buying a new suit.

You have the mass produced suits that sort of fits you. They are not designed for your needs, they are designed to (almost) fit as many people as possible.

Then again if you want something customized for your needs -- that really looks great on you -- you will have to hire a tailor. This will take some time. No matter what year it is.
> therefore variables outside the frame will not be visible inside that frame.

You know that the debugger can traverse the stack and show variables for the outer frames (assuming the lambda is invoked down-stack, as in your example), right? This is just a visualization issue of the debugger you're using and not a problem with lambdas themselves.

Javascript debuggers had to deal with this (the scope chain) for much longer, that's why variable views of JS debuggers show the whole scope chain instead of just the local frame.
Not in this case, BBC is run by royal charter. So “Run by the state” means the BBC’s power comes from the Monarch, not Parliament.
So, it's otherwise automatic, except I just have to write a selector routine that tries to decide the best performing routine to run at runtime and implementation for each individual case with varying hardware support.
Authorization of a null permission is effectively the same as authentication, though. I think the GP's point was that authz implies authn, even if the set of permissioned authz'd for is empty.
Printing a string is luxury! When I was working on a Linux port to the Treo 650 ages ago, I had a single bit of output: an LED that I could turn on or off at certain parts of the boot sequence. That was good enough to get me to the point where the LCD could be initialized and I could do proper screen logging.

I've done this for a handful of other projects as well. My first step is always locating a processor GPIO that controls something obvious (camera flash, status LED, etc) that I can use to figure out where I am in the boot process.
This is a case where policy will have to lead public opinion and culture. It has been done successfully in many countries, though less traditional than Japan to begin with. Subsidise childcare, make maternity leave longer, ear mark some leave for fathers etc. Then you'll see change eventually.
I read a Java textbook that started with something like "OO allows you to model things like they are in reality. A dog has a tail, and it can be wagging or not. A dog has a name..."

But dogs don't 'have names' in the OO sense. Humans have names for dogs. We can give a dog two names and it doesn't matter whether other dogs have two names or not. We can have a dog with no name, yet we can still call it by something as though it were a name. We can talk about the name of a dog that doesn't even exist.

OO is a valuable methodology, but you shouldn't have to lie to yourself to see that. It's a convenient way to bundle certain concepts together, and many problems do not require -- or are actively hindered -- by that bundling.
The only part of this that I really disagree with is the "At stake here". That suggests that there's some danger of destroying one of those things, as if we're unaware of or don't value it. But of course we do. There's no question of suppressing discussion or of thwarting the community from talking about something that it cares about. The issue is one of balance, and it's a purely pragmatic one. If someone can suggest a better way, we're all ears.
We have precedence on what happens if nodes/miners try to attempt a hard fork, it's called "Bitcoin cash". You need majority to agree on the rules, nodes/miners/users/exchanges all need to agree on what's Bitcoin, that's the whole point of a decentralized currency.

If a block size change caused the split into Bitcoin cash, you can only imagine what a cap change on Bitcoin available will cause, 21M cap is a lot less controversial than block sizes.
That's interesting. I wonder if anyone has made some sort of api shim/facade to automate that route 53 avoidance.
> I have no doubt that if humanity wanted to, it could sequester all the carbon necessary to reverse climate change

While this solution is appealing, it always leads to more questions than answers.
Let's assume the How is solved. Where do you store it? Can it scale and if yes with which scenario?
- Infinite growth? No way, it's physically impossible.
- With a reduction? Maybe, but what will be the cost then? Will it be cost effective?

I think at that point we are back at the OP question.
And I think a valuable COVID lesson is: once a natural process is started (the virus spreading worldwide) we don't have much power to stop it. But we can successfully mitigate it by developing vaccines in record time and manufacturing them in large scales.

Similarly, for global warming it would be a waste of time and effort to try to stop the natural process (limit human activity to revert the temperature increase) and instead focus our innovation and resources into mitigation (carbon capture, green energy, fortifying coast lines...)
Free-form collaboration has been a lot harder at my startup in a remote setting. The remote arrangement may benefit productivity when people are mostly working in silos, just crunching out code, but if you need to brainstorm or whiteboard something it's a genuine downgrade.

Lots of companies will be switching to a part-time-remote model, which makes the most sense to me
> You are comparing crypto currencies to stocks. In that case what you said is true.
> I think the fact that a lot of people compare crypto currencies to stocks is telling that they are not being used for their intended purpos

Absolutely not. If you take the top 10 crypto currencies sorted by marketcap, half of them are actually stock-like tokens. It is not a misinterpretation, or a deviation from the intended purpose at all. These tokens are intended to replace shares of the company, and they have rather similar capabilities: by owning them you have voting rights, different token (share) classes exist, etc.

Honestly, the term "crypto currency" is very misleading, most of the tokens issued nowadays are share-like, and buying them is just a form of venture funding for these startups.
I suggest giving IntelliJ a shot but, honestly, if you prefer Eclipse then stick with it. I originally switched because at the time IntelliJ had better code navigation, better version control support, better static analysis support, and an overall much better aesthetic IMO (especially in dark mode). Things might have improved in Eclipse since then, but I haven't tried it in a long time. I think the last Eclipse version I used was Juno.

I do a lot more Python work than Java nowadays so I use PyCharm much more than IntelliJ, though they share a lot in common. Aside from those, the only IDE I really ever use is GNAT Studio for work. I suppose I used Android Studio for a while, but that's basically just IntelliJ with some Android-specific features bolted on.
So I ran a half-baked experiment here. Had a friend queue up a song (15 in total) in "HD" and not, play 30 seconds of one, pause for a few seconds, then play the same 30 seconds again, randomly choosing between the same quality (placebo-is) and the other.

Then I guessed "same or different" quality. Got about 85% right overall.

I'm sure it wasn't perfectly blind, but seems to indicate to me that it does in fact sound different. Now, I cannot say for sure it's not sound cards or other things in the output path causing differences as well.

Now if you asked me to pick which was HD and which was 320, I did worse than random. So I am not claiming that HD sounds "better", just different.
Which e-reader do you use?
While HTTP is plaintext alright, it's neither simple nor easy to parse. Probably wouldn't put it in the same group as statsd/InfluxDB line protocols which can be parsed in a few lines of code.
In a post on Instagram, he said: "I'm doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team."
He is "resting comfortably" after the aneurysm, his lawyer told Billboard.
Your points are basically true across $MANGA as well. (Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Google, Amazon)

I think it’s more a symptom of interviewing being broken than just being a monoculture. They’re probably very related, though. Bad interview practices produce bad results, etc.

Why is interviewing so broken? Why isn’t there something like certifications? Do things like unions address this? They seem to in construction, plumbing, and trade jobs as well as even acting.
Seems like the logical endpoint of the shift away from tie and button down formality to the more casual/fun (at least on the surface) vibe tech businesses introduced. I don't really go for all the unicorn/muffin/whatever type childish aspects, but friendly UI's are a welcome change from the sort of austere 'businessy' UIs.

This also doesn't just apply to work, many people my age (32) are super into cartoons and Disneyland, but the concept of going to Disneyland without a child in your 30s seems... weird to me. It is probably good that people feel comfortable to be sort of weird though versus the stoic version of adulthood in the past.
The "sins" of the Democrats in 2016 were overblown by the Trump camp. They exposed the ugly sausage-making processes of the DNC and called it corruption and treason, when both political parties operate the same way, and neither party committee is a direct democracy.
Yeah, I have a friend from art school who has created fake posters and interfaces, etc for shows like Law and Order: SVU and I Am Legend (he created the Batman vs Superman poster in times square!). Cool job, but it sounds like it's feast or famine sometimes.
Yeah. There are a quite few niggles like that. Even though you can get quite close by (automatically) sending code to the repl, Python is simply not set up for interactive development.

It's one of the main reasons why I love Common Lisp so much.

Still, it's not too bad and IMO a lot better then restarting the process on every single change
Yep: https://github.com/mozilla/rust-android-gradle
Yep, marker components is a much more feasible pattern now, and I tend to prefer tiny, granular components when writing Bevy apps as a result.

The only drawback to this design is that you can't add / remove components instantly[0], and instead need to wait for the next "hard sync point" at the end of the stage.

Yeah, in this case it wouldn't have helped. These were not investigators that cared about getting a conviction.
So has hating on Apple, Microsoft, and XBox, but two out of those three enjoy extensive brand loyalty, and one does not.

It's not typically the brand loyalists that do the hating.
Did you read what happened here? He refused to cooperate, and they put him on the no fly list. They didn’t charge him with any crimes, so they don’t have to worry about any testimony being inadmissible.

You are right, they can’t arrest him... which they didn’t try to do. They did something way worse, which was to put him on the no fly list and strand him out of country.

Avoiding being arrested was not the problem.

This isn’t an investigator trying to get information to bring to court, this is the FBI trying to coerce the guy into being an informant. They don’t care about his actual testimony at this point.
No one here was looking for a conviction because there was no crime.

The goal here was coercion via intimidation.
