There is a major difference, which is that genetic correlations can be tested for, and a strong one can indicate that frequent testing is needed, catching cancers earlier when they're more treatable. For many cancers, catching them early is critical.
Here is an example from Spark Framework (a tiny web framework) written in Java 8.

import static spark.Spark.* ;

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {
get("/hello", (req, res) -> "Hello World");
}

}

This is more simple as written in previous version and is also consistent with it as it can be written in Java 7 (or earlier) like this.

import static spark.Spark.* ;

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {
get("/hello", new Route() {
@Override
public Object handle(Request req, Response res)
throws Exception {
return "Hello World";
}
});
}

}

You can see how closures in Java actually represent more familiar idea and by omitting unnecessary ceremony do make writing in it more simple.
I wipe my keyboard down before I get started, wash my hands with warm water, get adequate amounts of good quality sea salt, and drink warm coffee. I also worked on my underlying health and my hands are less prone to getting cold now that I am less anemic and such.
The beauty of Lisp is in its simplicity. Lisp has the simplest syntax in the world, and the entire language is based upon five simple primitives.

All other mainstream languages complicate matters with operator precedence tables, multiple operator notations (prefix, infix, postfix, postcircumfix, etc), and many other syntactic weirdities.

The simplicity of the language makes it the best language there is for collaboration. Lisp is not to blame here - the community is.

A properly organized community can create standards for the use of macros to prevent their abuse and standardize on libraries to prevent fragmentation. Unfortunately, the Lisp community isn't well organized.
It must be an interesting moment in a software developer's career when you're offered a job on the Internet Explorer team. On one hand, regardless of how small your contributions are, your work will be used by millions of people around the world. On the other hand web developers will treat you as guilty by association until the very end of your career.
Autocorrect on iOS, sorry.
This is awesome! I'd love to learn more about each of the datapoints involved. Here are just a few ideas of other dimensions that it'd be interesting to see:

* Type of investor/institution/etc

* How many investments each point makes per year, and the average size.

* How many communications were required for each investor. How many meetings? How many emails?

* Whether or not each subsequent investor knew about some or all of the previous ones.

There are a ton others questions. I'd love to see this for more rounds too!
Convince someone with diplomatic immunity or a member of parliament or other government entity. It will become an international battle of words and strong-arm diplomacy, but one country's government is quite unlikely to shut down another's. (Well, except perhaps the US.)

But truth be told, I don't think you can safeguard data on just one site. There's (D)DoS, ip routing, domain registration system, physically cutting backbones, etc. I'm sure no registrar wants to risk losing 50% of their customers ("50% of the world", assuming even spread), especially everyone in the US market, so as a profit-based organisation they will have to give in to threats of litigation or plain IP null-routing.

Mass distribution seems the way to go then. P2P or just lots of willing people putting the content on their own websites. Once it's out there, I guess it's nearly impossible to get Jack back in the box.
And can't go away soon enough.

Not NAT friendy. Needs special workarounds on firewalls. Not IPv6 friendly. Sends everything in the clear. No compression support. Different binary and text transfer modes. All the "fixes" to it are hacks that cause interoperability issues.

FTP is the fax machine of the internet. People still use it, but anyone with a clue hates it.
If it's just documentation, try reading it in w3m in the terminal or inside Emacs. The improved keyboard control is a nice bonus too.
It's not so much that the music industry is large as such.

It is that the music industry something like a token in the game of control proprietary content. Music is something of a thin wedge for showing the ability to deliver highly valued content - Look at what Apple's iPod brought it and indeed, would Apple ever want a rival control the rights to the content it has mastered selling?

Possibly, the recording industry of something of a stand-in for the movie and/or television industry, an industry which is not small by any stretch of the imagination. And the movie industry, gigantic as it might be, is something of stand-in for proprietary control of popular culture...
This shows how careful VCs have to be nowadays though.

... and startups.
In the meantime, scientists are struggling to make lawmakers actually believe in science! Scary stuff. I really hope that the GOP turns on this issue soon enough. It's hard to believe that this is actually needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFOPf0s5u5E#t=54
I was a developer in a startup weekend last month, and our team did really well. What helped us the most was that all the developers were familiar with the framework and VCS we were using (Django and git). None of us wasted any time installing anything or reading the how-to docs for beginners. We hit the ground running and wrote the most code of any group by far.

To prepare, make sure you're familiar with at least one popular framework so that you can join a team that's using it. Also, learn git and/or hg if you haven't yet.

If you're lucky (like I was), one of the teams using your framework will also have a good idea.
When studying a language, one does not typically start with an abstraction library.
Where do you go to get a dual socket hex-core westmere desktop machine with 32GB of RAM? The only one I've seen is Apple's Mac Pro.

People who crunch a lot of numbers like those machines. They aren't that expensive when compared with the alternatives (racked servers)
income from dividends or when your money sits in the bank earning interest is not capital gain. capital gain is when you buy shares, real-estate etc and market price of these assets increases while they are on your balance sheet. then it's unrealized capital gain and you don't pay any tax on it until you sell it and make it realized capital gain. for simplicity reasons to explain my point, I didn't want to overcomplicate it with capital gains and losses.
I get the idea, but that's a terrible, terrible example: The cotton gin made slavery much more tenable as a business by decreasing the price of labor, and it is almost universally agreed amongst historians that it contributed unbelievably to slavery.
I think the retribution vs rehabilitation balance is heavily dependent on the crime and is not really reflected in our penal system.

If you committed murder, rape, kidnapping, and really have no chance of ever reentering society, then it should be retribution. Basically how do we house these people for the rest of their lives in a cheap manner? And I really could care less about their wellbeing/condition.

If you commit a property crime (lets say you were stealing from a liquor store) or a drug crime, what is the real thing going on here? Are you desperate because you have no money and the easiest way to get some is to run around with a gun and rob people? In that case, rehabilition is a lot more useful. The person is only going to jail for 3-5 years and is going to have to come back into society and find a job and a way to live.

They get out of jail, are a felon, and now nobody will hire them. What do you think they are going to do? Go back to the only way they know how to make money which is to steal or deal drugs or something illegal to get by.

So to say we have to rehabilate murders is unpalatable to most people, and to say we have to punish people who are only going to jail becuase they are desperate to begin with is ignoring the underlying cause.
Presumable the stuff I actually need to buy locally is the same as what other people need (milk, perishable items, meat, the occasional bottle of wine).

That just means the stores will have to be small (which is a benefit for them, since they have a smaller number of items in their inventory).

As for starting new types for stores? That happens surprisingly often, but obviously since most consumers don't give a hoot about who owns the store they shop at, it usually doesn't work.
Like System76.

I've yet to have a problem with drivers on Ubuntu, in fact it's better than Windows. Windows seems to have separate drivers for each USB port. I have to plug my peripherals into the same port they were installed on or it doesn't work. Ubuntu doesn't care, it detects everything no matter where it's plugged in.
Nonsense.

If China dumps those bonds tomorrow the US dollar would collapse instantly. China would feel some pain of course, but their internal economy is not directly tied to international markets so they can handle it way better.
Perhaps more premature than reasonable. However it seems important to you that my comment infers things that I have clarified it does not.

We can try again. What exactly is the information you are seeking?
Why not block access to the content then? You can't watch Netflix streams without paying for them, that's trivial to implement.

Ah, right, creators want their content to show up for my search keywords, Google won't let them have pages only visible to Google bots (though even that is changing with the rise of paywalled sites), and they want the money from that same Google showing ads from their ad network.

Google initially promised to deliver a search for the open web unencumbered. It has become a sort of paywall itself (accept our ads or our search results will be useless pointing you to pages that only work if you have ads enabled).

Sure, it would be fair if they haven't pushed out the competition acting entirely differently ("we have no ads", "our ads are clearly marked" to current "see if you can tell a difference between an ad and your search results").
The closest thing to "reveal codes" in Word is to save as .rtf and open in a text editor. But you're in for a wild ride.

I think it is more like being a good trainer kind of thing.

The person can be a key motivator to bring the team forward, or reach decisions they wouldn't otherwise have taken.
Most of this is perfectly archetypical "hindsight says it's all about the little things", exactly what we expect our elders to say.

But consider no 100 year old dying in 1950 would bother impart:

> At the end of the day, sweaping the barn really is how all my children made it to age 5

> A rust-free butterchurn keeps those fingers attached, don't rest though there's a wall of glass

Good Timeless advice is a function of stagnation.

> Fighting complexity is a never-ending cause.

> Beware of Lock-In

These ones, though, I like. We should strive to understand problems in full generality, which may increase simplicity. But our current cloud-and-Docker-snakeoil trend is either epicycles, not ellipses, or lock-in, never neither.
Verilog has a conditional operator ?:

It is used quite extensively in ASIC design.
If memory serves I believe AMD was rescued by oil money as well, otherwise you won't see today's booming $90 per share AMD at all. Money talks no matter what.
Downvoters: So this 'proof of concept' on GitHub is in fact some how 'vapourware', and it shows an empty repository with zero functioning working code? I'm looking at the same repository as everyone else in this HN post.

Literally the top comment is even suggesting that Intel could be interested in funding this, so surely it deserves a chance with some backing, even if it is 'incomplete'.

Care to explain the downvotes?
FYI at the very bottom of the link there is a free stuff section where you can sample the work from the book.
Your need to be right has driven us so far afield from the original topic, I'm actually somewhat impressed.

I don't know what you think I wrote, but no one here at any time suggested writing a new crypto scheme.

It's 4 days later. I've made my point over and over again, and you understand it. You have even restated my point yourself, in your second paragraph.

I'm done. You agreed with me, and everything else you're trying to talk about is just you begging to be validated. I can't feed this anymore, sorry.
One really does not want to saturate a fleet of servers to a point where random faults and broken SLOs are popping up all over the place. That’s first and foremost the main reason datacenter utilization is low.

My thoughts...
It's interesting that popular(ish) Twitter people that are part of #100daystocode (e.g. Cat McGee ) have shown up here on hacker news. It seems like 1000s and 1000s are part of this twitter movement. There is good and bad with it.

Cat McGee and her ilk, to simplify, are selling programming as a lifestyle. It's not the coding that's the point- it's the opportunities it gives in terms of good jobs, ability to live in foreign countries etc. And they gush over how programming is in fact easy.
I can definitely see how programmers might feel uneasy about this trend of tons of people being interested in getting into the industry. Obviously, at some point certain areas are going to be put under a lot of pressure. Potentially.

As the above author notes it's a lot harder to work on a fully functioning 100k line webapp/software than a toy website. And from what I see on twitter, most of the drive is on html/CSS/JavaScript learning.

But in other ways it's a good thing. Even if you are not a developer - writing code can be a real joy as a hobby. And a bit of coding skills can help people in non-coding jobs. Or just to create some thing small. (disclaimer I'm a data analyst trying to become a data engineer). And the Twitter groups like #100daystocode do expose more people to the fun side of coding. Let's face it most high schools fail at that.

On a final point, like writing a novel/script (a demon I know all too well.) there is a dream bring sold that you can live in an exotic location and work remotely. Its more of a realistic dream than writing to be paid, but still people might need to be careful about fools gold.

It looks like it's a beginning programming book that also teaches cryptography
English is the only one with conflicting date formats I can think of (US vs UK), but in case of government and corporate documents, those are sometimes bilingual - with form labels in the primary language having a small-font translation to English below.

(Real use case: I recently sent a Polish equivalent of OSHA form to my line manager in UK, and I used a bilingual version. As you can imagine, I set the example by filling my part of the document using ISO 8601 for dates, so that once the document returns to the Polish corporate office, there won't be any possible confusions.)
Not only do they make some of the lowest salaries in the industry, they work the longest hours as well. Employers that allow people to "work on their passions" use that as a bargaining chip to lower salaries.
Salaries for fruit pickers didn't go up because demand for fruit pickers didn't go up. The farmers knew that they were screwed no matter what they did- if they paid the pickers more and tried to pass the costs on, they wouldn't be able to sell the fruit, and if they paid the pickers more but ate the cost, they wouldn't actually net a profit. So they were going to lose money no matter what, and did it in the least-impact way possible (let the fruit rot).
That's great news! Lithium iron is a much safer chemistry, can handle high discharge rates very well, and has a much greater cycle life. Hopefully, the higher demand will bring the same benefits as with lithium cobalt batteries, improving energy density and bringing prices down.
I really don't see the point of all that productivity in every facet of life. It sounds like cargo-culting to me. Generally, people who do fascinating things don't need to analyze their own productivity since they are naturally drawn to their projects and work on them on their own and for their own sake. People who do things out of ambition don't need the boost either, by definition. And for people who just want to enjoy life, this sort of thinking is antithetical to what they see as worthwhile. Therefore this content can only appeal to those in a state of dissatisfaction and confusion as to what they want out of existence, but does not provide them with any sort of useful answer.

From a cursory glance at the channel, it's all very ironic: the guy shares tips about having become a doctor and done extremely well in medical school, but quit after two years because his channel about productivity was taking off. Don't get me wrong, I respect the hustle and the cashflow, but it highlights the circularity of the whole enterprise. The productivity is channeled to create content on productivity that is itself of no particular value except as entertainment for unproductive and anxious people. It's like those online courses on becoming rich that are themselves the source of the wealth. From an individual perspective, it's great that the author can make a lot more money with a lot less stress compared to medical work, but from a societal perspective it seems like we've created an ocean of perverse incentives.
Hello, author here. Thanks for the interest. If anyone has a candidate machine they want to port it to, please file a Github issue and I'll try and support you --- it's supposed to be easy to port, with a turnkey build system which will build all the user programs, the CCP and BDOS, link everything together into a bootable image, etc.

I'm particularly interested in anyone who has actual open source CP/M software, or has non-open-source software they're willing to relicense. (I successfully persuaded R.T. Russell to open source his superb BBC Basic port, which is now included!) Most CP/M software predates the era when licenses were considered important, and generally has invalid or unusable licensing: you see the phrase 'public domain for non-commercial use' a lot... It's now old enough that the license holders are beginning to actually _die_, and great swathes of useful software and history are just vanishing. I'd love to preserve this stuff. Especially, I'd love to get my hands on an open source CP/M 3 clone: ZSDOS, which is what I currently have, is only CP/M 2.2 compatible and is missing several important features (such as the ability to change serial baud rate!).
It's a nice bit of semantic ju-jitsu to say "they take this data and sell a service that wouldn't be possible without it" isn't the same as "selling this data," isn't it? Especially given that the targeting mechanisms don't have any k-anonymity guarantees, and I'm aware of at least one paper showing information leaks through the ad portal [1]

This is technology, why talk about it like it can't change and be improved upon? Bitcoin has serious flaws like having zero privacy but it has demonstrated a working foundation - transacting without an intermediary and being able to hold your own money is absolutely revolutionary. Even the way things are now, $30 is a low price to be able to avoid storing your net worth in malicious banks and government/corporation property
Knowledge of how the justices work.

The way that the Court and every one of the justices work is that he/she will draft out with the clerks the broad principles and approach that he/she wishes the decision to be crafted around. Which cases influence the precedent, which regulations take what role in the decision, what issues to "turn" the case on, etc.

It's the job of the clerks then to go research, summarize, and create the bulk of justice's position based on knowledge of the details. They (justice + clerks) then review and talk about the evolving draft opinion several times over the course of months, circulating drafts to the other justices (and their clerks) as well. And note, most of the facts/issues already came up in the lower courts cases and rulings, so there has already been some fair surfacing of the details of the dispute (and what other judges believe the important issues to be) as it made its way through the system.

The justices have many opinions per term to do this for, and you can be very sure that while the "authoring" justice has been briefed on (and very well has tested the ideas with the clerks in detail), the summary of how APIs work and their legal status is not based on the justice him/herself wading through license agreements and "figuring out" the structure of the code or its legal status.

So, that is not to say that the justices are ignorant of the details (far from it), but the level of detail needed to form the groundwork of the opinion is heavily shouldered and created by the law clerks. But the main conclusions of the opinion are definitely of the justice him/herself (with input from the clerks).

-- By the way, the clerks (you may not realize) already have had a role in getting the case even to be heard before the Supreme Court, in briefing and summarizing the underlying appealed case on why it should be ripe for a decision, so they already many of the issues at stake and how to think about them.

Maybe think of it like a software engineering manager and the individual developer. The manager can lay out the principles by which a certain piece of code is to be written, and the capable developer will identify all the issues, test cases, etc., and they will review it together at various stages. You would not say that either could have done it without the other. It's kind of like that (when software engineering works like it should).
Time4vps had the best storage server prices last I checked. I've been using them for afew years.
> Lead pipes are just fine as long as there's chemicals in the water that build up a rusty layer.

It only mitigates instead of preventing. But orthophosphate/phosphoric eventually yields a 90% reduction: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18957781

In my hometown link, they have replaced lead watermains and are replacing functional lead-based residential supply lines still out there. Replacing lead-lines is the only way to keep water 100% lead-free on its way from supply to tap.

Fittings/brass fixtures are another story, but the move from copper to PEX is playing a big role there.

In Flint, it was direct cost-cutting/oversight.
> It's not a requirement that they give you a ride no matter what.

But it is a requirement that they not discriminate against customers with disabilities. Charging an "exorbitant fee" for a driver who would tolerate a service animal would be a form of discrimination, even if that fee was the organic result of a pricing algorithm.
It's a feature if you don't trust government to act well. If you did trust government to act well, why would you want them to be deliberate? Deliberation is a feature allowing opportunities to prevent harmful policies before they're enacted.
iOS still turns cards view into a visual task killer instead of making it front and center. They also don’t have the powerful and useful card groups.
