Am I the only one who barely understands anything from that show?

Every episode I hear a dozen barely explained confusing terms with quantum this and higgs-field that.

I feel like they care more about impressing me with how complicated this stuff is than they do about actually teaching me much. Maybe I'm just not the target audience :(
The solution i've seen is:

sleep(float(hash(request_content)) % n)

this assumes that the attacker cannot control any non-relevant part of request_content.
Great stuff. Can’t wait for the delivery.
People (especially Americans) often forget that a bureaucracy that slows things down can provide the occasional benefit, right along with all its costs.

Americans should be especially loath to forget this. Our government was engineered with the goal of making it very difficult to get anything done through government.

Are you seriously not aware that reddit falls over pretty much all the time on its own?
I agree that all users rely on plugins for doing real work. However, seeing how much can be accomplished by using just vanilla features can be enlightening.
Technically these are, for the most part, Senryū not Haiku.

The difference (in a nutshell) being that Haiku tend to deal with seasonal scenes from nature with a "cutting" word that provokes discord (the syllable thing really isn't that important), while Senryū depict "human foibles". Seen in that light makes these excerpts somewhat more profound.

Arguing about this is somewhat akin to debating about "Hackers" vs "Crackers" in contemporary usage...

Seeing the title of this post, I got really excited -- the subject is a longtime interest of mine. However, after clicking through to the actual page, the excitement quickly subsided. I'm sure the information is great, but the presentation is plain awful. Quite a pity, it looks like the author put a lot of time into it.

It's one big MS Word-file, exported to HTML. It would be best if the content is divided into several pages. It definitely needs a different stylesheet, especially for the tables. The maps could be redrawn in SVG and it would be nice to add some interactivity so that layers can be peeled back by the user.

I'd like to help the author clean up this page, if he'll allow it. Would anyone like to join me?
I might if I get some time, there are definitely some tips and tricks. Backbone is wonderful -- much kudos to the DocumentCloud guys. They gave us a great framework, and they're actively developing it too.
Saying piracy is theft is theoretically incorrect. Stealing something means that it you takes something from someone who doesn't have it anymore. Digital copy just doesn't work that way.

As for the question if it is good or bad, it's up to you. I'll just say that to me at least, having thought long about it, intellectual property is a very unnatural concept.
Touche. I was having this discussion with a coworker the other day and I was saying sort of the same thing. People think it was unwise to refuse Google's offer, but Google's culture and track record regarding what need's to be done to make Groupon big make selling to Google the wrong decision. If they had accepted Groupon would have undoubtedly died a gruesome death or end up merged into a subdivision of Adwords quietly collecting dust.
reading articles like this where SD cards have survived being boiled, trampled, washed and dunked in coffee or cola, makes me think its not impossible for certain SD cards stored in the right conditions to last possibly centuries

My comment says "Bitcoin insider trading exists, and here's why." Your comment is completely unrelated.
> transactions don’t even go on the blockchain

What are you talking about? When you purchase coins on Coinbase, they go into a wallet that you can easily deposit to through another means or withdraw to another wallet. This is the same with Binance, Kraken, CashApp, and so on. Exceptions would be Paypal or Rob-in-'hood where they have total custody, which has advantages if the user doesn't care about actually owning the coins themselves.

Don't like the centralization of Coinbase? Then just don't use it. There's plenty of other options for purchasing bitcoins. Buying them P2P is easy as hell. Local Coin Swap and Local Bitcoins allow you to buy crypto directly from individuals with an escrow system.

By the way, not everyone is interested in the same advantages of Bitcoin. One of the reasons Bitcoin has been on he rise the last year is that it has far greater potential than a savings account to grow in value and, unlike gold or silver, doesn't take up physical space. Not everyone cares about decentralization or is averse to risk.
>Resources spent on the advanced learning program could have been spent on offering a better quality of education for the entire school.

This assumption rests on the false supposition that all children have the same intelligence and learn at the same rate, and the only difference is environmental factors. While environmental factors are certainly important, they aren't everything, despite how wonderful that would be towards realizing the fantasy of a "fair and just" world. The fact is that people are different - innately. Just as a proper schooling system allocates resources for students that learn at a slower rate, so should a proper schooling system allocate resources for students who learn at an advanced rate.
But if the rationale is compensating for things like redlining, then it doesn’t make sense to count Latinos in the “disadvantaged” category while counting Asians in the “advantaged” category. (The majority of the kids in the groups that the administrator deemed underrepresented were Latino, not Black.) Racist policies like redlining in the 1950s-1970s were not applied to Latinos any more than to Asians, and in fact were applied less so. (There was never anything comparable to the Asian Exclusion Act applied to immigrants from Latin America.) Moreover, Latinos have similar income mobility to whites. Latino families who have been in America since the 1960s and 1970s would have quite small income gaps compared to whites by now: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353.

It’s true that economic disparities can be caused by historical racism. But that’s not a basis for distinguishing Latinos from Asians, or really Latinos and Asians from Italians, Polish people, etc., who are similarly situated to each other.

These are stopgap solutions made to imitate aspects of other operating systems, and ultimately "break" the security model of the Mac. Apple knows the end-user is the weakest link in any security model, so by reducing the end-user's capabilities, you limit the risk they pose to the system. I'd rather just use an operating system that doesn't second-guess my choices in the first place.
Not all, the high end is ga102 ampere
If I wanted to take a critical view of your comment, you're basically saying "Sure, punish white people.. but how dare you punish Asians!"

The goal of any diversity program - ignoring whether or not that goal is good - is to increase representation among historically under-represented groups. At least as far as academics and education are concerned, Asians are objectively not under-represented. If you're looking at diversity programs in the urban United States, this translated pretty directly into "more black and brown kids."

It's hard to ride that line between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. But it seems to be that just saying "wow there's not enough black and brown kids in these classes, so we better cancel them rather than see what went wrong (or if anything actually went wrong)" is a pretty ass-backwards way to handle things.
I have no idea why they don't just move the control buttons to the bottom of the screen. The real estate is great - they just need to break the paradigm of sticking the most importance tap targets at the unreachable top of the screen.
They advertise savings of $600 per year. As has been mentioned before if this is a circa 1 in 16 year phenomenon then she is break even or coming out ahead.

There are no free lunches. You can’t just get the $600 in savings and complain about the risk.
The requirement specs for this plane seem crazy. It has to be as agile and fast as an F-22. It needs to do ground support like an A-10. It has to be able to do carrier missions and on top of that it has to take off and land vertically.

And yeah do all this while being cheap and maintainable. It’s basically a unicorn.
I didn't get the same thing out of the comment you were responding to...but I otherwise agree with you entirely:

> Failure is fine. Failure is expected. Failure is the best way to learn an iterate.

and

> don't say "well we always got what we wanted out of it anyway, which was to learn" when your goal was "to build the ultimate fighter jet at this budget in this timeline"
BSA and BBR specs from Arm fix that. They also have a certification program https://developer.arm.com/architectures/system-architectures...
I guess that makes sense if your goal is to use land most efficiently. Not sure that what is most important though.
GC CEO, Kurian has enterprise sales genetics. Entire exec leadership he put in place, comes from SAP Oracle-esque sphere. They speak enterprise, even with startups.

GCP‘s primary target and starting point is enterprise.

OP‘s experience is no surprise.
>The Fed is a private entity actually.

The idea of the Federal Reserve urinates all over the Constitutional principle that people weilding power stand for election.

Doom on us for permitting such.
For someone going to college, there are no excuses for not checking starting salaries with google before making a huge commitment.

Heck, in the 70s when I went to college, long before google, everyone knew what starting salaries were for the various majors (at the time, Chemical Engineering was the highest paying). Everyone also knew that an Astronomy degree meant unemployment.
The maths are about right for MPG. Time is what you (might) save. I'll get around that at cruise - 135kts or 155mph @ ~ 10gal/hour. Better fuel usage if you slow down a bit. Tempted to say if you slowed down to max Prius speeds on the autoban, the C182 might be more fuel efficient. I'm sure it gets 50mpg at 75mph, but doubt it gets that at 109mph.
Actually, it not falsifiable. If you succeed, you were born for it. If you don't you weren't.

The idea is that the only way he can find it out is by trying. Some of the best programmers I have met did come from outside compsci field - biologists, psychologists, and, yes, a business manager. The point is he must try to know whether he can - and is willing to - do it.

And, BTW, what good would a citation do? It would be as unfalsifiable as my claim.
OK, but none of that has any impact at all on anything outside of HN. (With the possible exception of edw519, who's got such a high amount of karma that it might be breaking the fourth wall and spilling over into the rest of his life.)

> Since this community doesn't take too kindly to smart ass comments you are forced to conform to a higher standard...

Assumptions in this statement:

1. Everyone always wants to make smart-ass comments.

2. Nobody wants to behave this way anyway.

3. Smart-ass comments are never rewarded here.

I don't think I agree with any of those. I behave here exactly the way I did on Reddit; I simply no longer spend any time on Reddit. Nor does the karma system here discourage me from saying anything or behaving in a particular way. At the most, I might withhold an opinion on something simply because I don't feel like it's worth defending. (I'm spending so much effort ranting about karma here because I'm hoping that maybe someone will read it later and consider doing something different in the next social whattathingamajig.)
Kudos to the creators for keeping at it. But in the end I don't see if being of much consequence.

If it ever does get out of Alpha and is viable than Microsoft will likely stop at nothing to bury it with lawsuits. They'd have to because it would be a free version of their core product that, by definition, wouldn't be susceptible to all the viruses and malware that Windows is.

So the bottom line is it could have a lot of useful applications but you really couldn't have enough faith in its future to use it for those applications.
to add I wouldn't be responsible for building the entire app

That does change it a bit, but you should still be in for or close to an even share if no one is going to pony up cash. You are taking the same risk as the rest of them.
Haha! true, but you can't sync them! ;)
I can't see the map because this site still uses Flash.
It's kind of tricky. UFI does mention 1.25MB, but the table states again "3.5 inch".

So, yes, if you want to format your 1.44MB capable 3.5 inch disks as 1.25MB you can. But still not the 5.25 inch disks the OP is requesting.
Apple is cheating a bit here. Example: I can see my contacts location in iMessage if they are my family. I can also share my location with contacts. Maybe that data comes from FindMy, another app, but it is still processed by iMessage and it is a menu option within the app.
Totally agreed with the similarities between MS' situation in 2006 and Google's situation now.
Implement swtch() for x86 and arm (or whatever cpu you have). This is if you want to be a systems programmer, work on operating systems, file systems, etc.

There is something magical about calling a function as one process and returning as another.

I did this while still at school for Udi Manber (agrep, google search vp) because he wanted a user level threads package.

Many of us deliver much of our results publicly all the time. At ORNL any user can come and use our facilities. We've got a neutron beam system which I think exists only in one other place on Earth. In fact, users can use it for free only if they pledge to publish their results publicly.
> Zig is neither a better C nor a better C++, but an entirely...

I agree with your point because zig has evolved, but I do think that it is important to note at least for historical purposes, that zig was created literally as a "better c", and a lot of decisions are made because of some specific pain point X or Y in c
num_transactions_possible is so high that it’s effectively unlimited.

Hi, we are working on test-hub.io that aggregates unit test and coverage results into a single dashboard.
One can integrate it into their existing CI system and start gathering test results data. TestHub will then visualize test statistics across all projects, drilling down to individual test runs and all the tests within.

It’s free for open source repositories.
Here are docs: https://testhub-io.github.io/docs/
As the recent GameStop events have shown, it's uncertain who owns how many shares, settlement is slow and error/bezzle-prone, etc. etc. Plus I venture to guess that HFT algorithms do consume country-level amounts of energy as well. Unlike blockchain, it's not surplus electricity from renewables in faraway places. And all that energy does not even improve the whole ledger security.

But hey, unlike the filthy blockchain, it works!/s
I did not learn how to program using a turtle, so I don't know if it's the right way to go. But intuitively, it seems very simple, at least more than I/O.
I used E17 on a zaurus and on a laptop for a while -- and I got fed up with the project management. It's nothing against Raster, its the mindset that "Nothing From GNOME or KDE Should Ever Touch E17" (For the record, I was trying to get xdg-autostart items to show up)

I would love to see E17 mature as a desktop environment and see the whole development team go forward. However, until they are more open to seeing that most packagers aren't going to want to handle a metric shitton different frameworks, its completely screwed.
> There's no good reason to clone Windows

Besides that, Windows is insanely complicated. There are zillions of little panels, little things that make other things happen, you have that crazy google-to-find-a-program-that-does-what-you-need and then download it and entrust your machine to a foreign executable (you run it as an administrator in order to install it) and begin that ridiculous next-next-next-finish dance. And do that for every updated version.

Why would anyone want to emulate that?
Not a bad idea though lynx doesn't do a great job parsing HTML emails either, unfortunately. Turns out it's an annoying problem irrespective of the email "client"
Oh, are you one of those pathologic "Edit: Downvotes? Really?!?" karma gamers on reddit that seem to feel entitled to upvotes? I think that sort of meta-entitlement karma-whoring is extremely annoying. I get a little chuckle when the person playing that game makes the edit within the ninja-edit window and is missing the edit-star on their comment. Of course even on HN even with the hidden points, you see your own comment points, so feel free to go ahead and play that game here. Or just pretend you're being abused by the ignorant hordes. It's pretty easy. Nobody knows if you're actually negative here anymore.

Edit: Downvotes? WTF? I'd like to know who downvoted this. At least post some constructive criticism.
I wasn't talking about the website part, hence the partial emphasis of the quote.

Who said I was being defensive? I haven't started a company, but I watched my mother self-start a bookshop and publishing small business while raising me, so I'm aware of the risks.

The article is basically saying that self-starters have something no-one else has, and that makes them superior.

Thing is, he isn't saying "either you've run a marathon or not", but "either you've taken these amazing risks and that says something about you as a person". Which is fine (as I said, I'm not defensive about it) but it is pretty strongly implying superiority. Given the number of "hear hear!" comments to the post, it's pretty clear that the crowd also thought so.

Hell, even people who would utter something like "two types of people: either you have or haven't run a marathon/everest" are implying some form of superiority. The same as the vietnam vet who says "You weren't there, maaan!". It doesn't mean that the comment is invalid, but I'm just recognising that the article is self-congratulatory.
Most upvotes are going to be based on agreement, its simply psychological. We're more likely to even consider upvoting something if we agree with it. Downvotes on the other hand, have a detrimental effect such that we can stop to think if this actually deserves a downvote after we get the impulse. So even though ideally upvotes should be about adding to discussion, it's just not going to play out that way.
Good point. I will add it to the list of feature requests.
This has been suggested before, but perhaps the ability to vote separately on "good/bad contribution" and "agree/disagree" would be a good thing. If nothing else, it might give the "agree/disagree" folks a way to express their views without affecting the sorting (which should be by "good/bad contribution", I hope most would agree).
Maybe a sneak peek on the "lots more to come" ?!
I'm hoping that's the case, and I'm sure I'm oversensitive on this topic. It's just that subject was particularly important to me, and any impression that I didn't care so much about capturing that story before the chance to get the story was over just makes me over react.
Why would one do that?
I have. It's become spammy with ads and you can't limit your search to just a specific topic, like the rules of evidence, or civil procedure, etc. (as far as I can tell).
I have yet to see an argument against which is not rooted in bigotry.

I can give you one.

The state should have no involvement in the institution of marriage, and instead the latter should be privatized and handled by non-governmental organizations. The terms of a marriage contract should be outlined solely by the individuals (or the service/organization providing the contract for individuals), which can then be optionally arbitrated by courts and/or registered with a state entity so as to work out issues like visitation rights.

Only then will marriage equality be achieved.

That said, this is more of an "anti-marriage" (at least in its current conception) argument than a specifically anti-gay marriage one, but it naturally intersects with gay and all other forms of marriage.

The anti-gay marriage part comes into play when you say that legal recognition of same-sex marriages serves as a feel-good quick patch solution that will only slow down or even diminish support for more profound solutions to the problem of marriage equality.
