I'm interpreting the "this license will revoke" as referring to the additional patent grant, not the BSD license for use of the software.
Ah! Now it makes more sense, etymology-wise and all that.
I was under the (possibly mistaken) impression that Direct Memory Access (DMA) hardware could move data straight from the Disk Cache to the Network card without touching the CPU Caches at all.
And pedantry such as taking rhetorical tropes literally!
From the Hacker's Dictionary:
"This term is quite old, going back at least to the mid-70s and probably much earlier. The word `automagic' occurred in advertising (for a shirt-ironing gadget) as far back as the late 1940s."

So you have been infected, but I think it's akin to the beneficial bacteria in your colon.
I agree with yummyfajitas' take. My rebuttals to some of the other comments in this thread so far:

1. It's not "harsh" to mark anything as spam in your email; the only person it affects is you. The sender will not, of course, even know whether you've classified their stuff as spam.

2. Some commenters are claiming that it's not that much extra effort to visit the sender's site and unsubscribe yourself. This is manifestly not always the case, and more to the point, the user does not KNOW in advance whether it will be the case, when starting the process. However, hitting a plonk button in your mail client will always have a known time-suck-factor in advance.

3. Hitting a plonk button is also, of course, guaranteed to be at least one page-load and one click easier than any possible solution involving visiting a sender's website. Even if there's an unsub link in the spammy email itself, a plonk button is still one page-load less, and easier to find from a UI standpoint. So in sum, plonk is guaranteed to win from on ease of use. Not even a debatable question.

4. Some argue that taking time to unsubscribe yourself via the sender's website is just "the right thing to do", given that you subscribed to their emails in the first place. It seems to me that it should be incumbent on the marketer, not the customer, to make unsubscribing as easy as possible, and to "do the right thing". This should be the default.
You can actually jailbreak the iPad and have a fully functioning unix environment there.

Python scripting environment on the Android phone isn't half bad.

Terrific information via wiki... thanks.

Because it's illegal (an awful lot of drugs are plant based).
while at the same time marketing and deliberately targeting children.

I'd go as far as describing their behavior as "sexually Grooming" children.

Not a fan here as I guess you can tell.
Where you working in America?

My understanding was that in the US casino games were required to be non-skill based. Is that not the case? Or maybe it differs by state jurisdiction?
Add Red Hat Access to that list as well. Nothing like searching for something relating to Wildfly or CentOS and getting results that require a paid-up Red Hat account.
By "bootstrap" I mean a way of self-financing part of the activities, finding a source of income quickly rather than relying solely on fundraising.

Raising money is not a problem, but I don't see myself getting involved in creating a business that requires billions and billions of dollars in financing before generating a single cent.
Because Work = Force times Distance = Energy. Acceleration is the result of energy added (by doing work) to a body with inertia (mass). Now if you ask what is inertia: that is the right (IMO unanswered) question!
I'm frequently clearing cookies (not manually) and have no problem reading Quora answers. I also find a lot of useful results there.

Europeans are right to feel insecure as they go back into recession but let's not pretend that civil rights in the US, while not perfect, has not made massive strides in the seventy years preceding the election of Obama.
I'm the same as you.

I am Windows/Mac user and I spent a bit of time trying to configure emacs across all my machines. I think it's fair to say that it wasn't designed to be configured cross platform, which is a shame. When I can be bothered I will have to create .emacs files for each platform that I use
From my back of the envelope calculation, you should be getting rejected at a minimum 1/e ~36% (that's the failure rate due to random chance in a perfect system).

Max rejection rate cannot be found due to a tendency to infinity.

Key takeaway - don't let your failure rate get below 36%.
I think the TCL plugin predates the Java one.
What do you think decriminalization would do regarding those dangers?
Dog owner and cat owner here (I love them!) but my question is, why do we needs pets at all? Is it right to put a bird in a cage or a cat in a small apt or having a dog and bring him out just 3 times a day? Why we are so selfish to prevent birds from flying or cats from hunting? Should we rethink in general about the pet in general?
Thinking back, I was neither.

I wasn't good in math, languages or anything in elementary school.

I didn't want to be there and always played "sick".

This just got a little bit better, when I left elementary school and switched 2 schools afterwards. Since the second school was a lot easier than the first, I got better grades without doing anything.

But I never got really good at anything at school, better in Science than in Humanities, always a B- on average. Even my degrees got that rating...
It's been said that a programmer's brain is more akin to that of a writer than a mathematician, allegedly because learning programming languages is much like learning a language - the same areas of the brain are involved.

From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-parnin/scientists-begin-...

> Scientists are finding that there may be a deeper connection between programming languages and other languages then previously thought. Brain-imaging techniques, such as fMRI allow scientists to compare and contrast different cognitive tasks by analyzing differences in brain locations that are activated by the tasks. For people that are fluent in a second language, studies have shown distinct developmental differences in language processing regions of the brain. A new study provides new evidence that programmers are using language regions of the brain when understanding code and found little activation in other regions of the brain devoted to mathematical thinking.
> Your second one has been debunked where you originally posted it

Uh no. I gave sources to prove it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8920067

> What happens if I forget my pin then?

It could be handled the same way as when you forget your credit card PIN. Contact the company who sold you the hardware wallet and who verified your identity when you purchased it, and they could reset it: each wallet could have a rescue passcode that only the company knows. You see, Bitcoin is flexible enough that it lets us develop whatever infrastructure we want on top of it. Even though this service does not exist yet, if it is something people want it will likely be created.

So if your friend Bob wants no one to know his rescue passcode or his identity for ideological reasons then he would himself be responsible for safeguarding the rescue passcode. But if you, sanswork, don't trust yourself to memorize the passcode, buy a hardware wallet from such a company. Either way, you or Bob have a choice of having a wallet work the way you want it to work.

> Your 1 example requires the person to not check their statement for 2 months.

Not necessarily. There are other tactics that scammers use to defeat chargeback protections. For instance they will delay the shipment after you purchase. They will claim multi-weeks long delays due to depleted warehouse stocks. They will ship to a "wrong" address. They will ship the "wrong" item and take time to re-ship the correct one. During all this time they will be all nice and apologetic to make it look like these are simple honest mistakes. After the 60-day limit passes, they cut contact with you, you realize it's a scam, you try to charge back, and you realize you can't! You were not aware of the 60-day limit. The scammers have your money. You are screwed.
I suppose index funds are fine if you can time buys/sells with the booms and busts. These days I sure don't feel like holding them. It's sad but the best bet is just picking the hot algo stocks.

> It is not until the last page of an EIGHT page article that it becomes clear that Mr. Borker is quite troubled financially. This is no formula for success.

> He won’t get specific about his annual income, but he tallies the business from the day before: 120 orders, gross revenue of roughly $20,000, which yielded perhaps $3,000 in profit, out of which he had to pay his employees — mostly women who answer phones and e-mail, off-site — and advertising.

Even if he's paying those order-takers lavishly (unlikely) and his site-related expenses are exorbitant, he should still be clearing at least 2/3 of that. He won't be buying a private island any time soon, but a one-man company turning a ~$2,000/day profit from home isn't exactly what I'd call financially troubled (though this may end badly for him otherwise).
I started with a ZX81, and wrote and sold (one copy!) of a... Xevious clone, called "ZXevious". Perfect name, heh? All assembly, cross-compiled from another machine, many simultaneous objects on screen, and I even emulated (or tried to) the brand new Macintosh interface that had just come out, in the "GUI" for selecting the keyboard layout.

The ZX81 BASIC (and "OS", such as it was) was written by Steve Vickers, and everything fitted into an 8K ROM. I have always been impressed by this guy's work. The whole unit had only 4 chips (ROM, RAM, CPU and a custom chip). Scroll done for a photo: http://oldcomputers.net/zx81.html

Steve Vickers went on to create the Jupiter Ace (with the main ZX81 hardware guy), which had similar hardware, but instead of BASIC, it had Forth.
Poetically, if we assume 6 degrees of separation then you need 7 to be safe^.

The thing called cancel culture isn't rooted in a proud intellectual tradition, because intellectualism relies on knowing what the opposition's argument is to dismiss it (ie, the opposite of cancelling). It is group-forming action of identifying and attacking an enemy.

Although groups sometimes superficially seem to be using evidence, it is rarely important. The most secure kind of tribe is one that rallies around ideas that make no sense - because then if someone espouses the idea that proves they are in the tribe. If the idea makes sense then people who agree might have just arrived at it on their own.

Extreme guilt-by-association is a great cultural marker, because the only way that attitude makes sense is if the espouses is an adherent to cancel-culture ideas and is signalling support of the group. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. It isn't really being important in the mobs decision making, the only important thing is identifying an enemy and it doesn't matter how.

VBA is very stupid, and I facepalmed a lot while learning it, but after you get used to it you can write in a very functional, clear, low/no-side effect style, with reasonable polymorphism using interfaces. It's still bad, but it's available. And I can make the UI out of spreadsheets and output still more spreadsheets, so business people aren't scared of it at all.

edit: I'd certainly rather be writing VBA than js, which is what the seem to be replacing that type of automation with, not python.
I created a reaction video for a Youtube video, paused the main video while I continued my reaction. I see that you recreated the pause event in the playback. How are you doing this. Are you creating a new video processing the two streams ?
How do we as a community feel about some of the tinfoil hatting going on in HN lately? I understand this is a watering hole for folks of all ideals and walks of life, but a comment on a fluff piece about physical symptoms being somehow linked to the more conspiratorial edge of the news cycle is much lower than I think we have been as a community.

I could be wrong, though, I'm absolutely open to hearing different thoughts and opinions across the spectrum (minus some of the the strange conspiracy stuff as of late -- I'd assert that it's always been a dull roar but definitely has popped up in more strength recently).
Whoa - I do zoom calls with one headphone (not loud) and noticed ringing at night!

Now it could actually be gluten, but fewer simple processed carbs like bread (and pasta) helps.

With the pandemic I've had lots more dietary control and was more likely to notice what caused a certain effect.

I've given up sugar and it helps tremendously. It takes a while. Also getting enough good sleep.
You should take Ibuprofen for inflammation. Paracetamol is 'just' an analgesic.
I downvoted you not because your statement was negative but because it was irrelevant. You jumped in to trash somebody tangentially mentioned apparently because you don't like their politics. When somebody gave you a substantive response, you ignored the meat and came back with personal trivia. Comments like these waste everybody's time.
I'm disappointed. Where is the innovation? We'll be stuck with JS forever.
Google has always been pursuing a two-pronged strategy with respect to JavaScript: 1) improve JavaScript and 2) work on new and better language. What's changed is how programs written in the new language are delivered to users.
When I originally posted that there was discussion in neither place. Now that this is where discussion has happened I'll delete the cross-reference, since, as
you say, it serves no value, and possibly has negative

submission in case that's where it started.
And this is perhaps a response to the 'heat leaks' story [1] about how tracking processor temperature over time you can get information out, or perhaps guess at what the processor is doing. (aka a 'side channel').

The basic observation is that in addition to the fact that CISC instructions do more than just one thing (they are essentially subroutine calls into microcode at one level of abstraction) out of order execution has added even more variability to when they are executing. Making a goal of "constant time" programming (popular in crypto code and video timing loops) very difficult to achieve as the time may vary based on the data in play, instruction ordering, etc.

We're a long way from the time when you could right the number of cycles something would take on the right hand column of your assembly.

I think that the best thing is that it shows it is possible! More interestingly, it does not even seem to require all out austerity measures. For example, if you choose "Cap Medicare growth" and "Reduce the number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to 30,000 by 2013" you are halfway there for 2030 with only those two choices.

Go on to choose "Eliminate Loopholes but keep taxes slightly higher", "Reduce Tax Break on Employer-provided Health Insurance", "Payroll tax: Subject some incomes above $106,000 to tax" and the 3 largest cut-military-spending options and you are done. Sure, these things aren't as side-effect-free as they sound, but it almost sounds feasible and does not require flour sacks and cat food.
I couldn't disagree more with your post. The author is basically just putting out a detailed study plan for passing an exam. If a doctor posted a plan for passing the medical boards would your first thought be "Wow, look at that massive medical monoculture problem!" That seems like a ridiculous stretch in my opinion.

To your second point, I hear this all the time in threads about tech interviewing: "Tech interviews are biased and make no sense" and also "I'm too busy to have to do a lot of work for this interview." If you don't want to put the time in to prepare, fine, don't, and then see how you do. Again, in my mind it's very similar to studying for the medical boards - in most cases doctors have many, many thousands of hours under their belt in training before still needing to study a ton to pass their boards.
Is there a transcript of it?

Two things:
Creationists (to which I believe the middle of the Posterous article was referring) shouldn't be upset at all. The Bible says kinds, not species, and that kinds can and do mate.

Two: why try to cull the mixing? If it's working (and isn't the operation of natural selection all about discouraging what doesn't work?) why try to put a human hand in the activity? Are we so desperately trying to retain what we define as species?
I wasn’t sure either when I started :p I really try to cut down on the gloss and make the whole thing very approachable… I hope it doesn’t distract from the guest or the conversation, so we’ll keep trying to strike a good balance.
iCloud Drive has file sharing built right into the OS
Agreed. I'm all for privacy too. But trying to solve social problems with technical solutions seems optimistic at best. Even if everyone on this website uses cash only, the issue of data privacy still exists for the other 99.999% of society - and we should try to solve it for them too.

I first read GEB 2 years ago and was similarly mind-blown. I found that it didn't answer any questions, but it did ask a lot. I would consider essential reading for anyone studying AI, and indeed for anyone with a curious mind.

I'm also in the middle of I Am a Strange Loop, and it feels very familiar. Hofstadter's wit and skill with words comes through strongly, and the technical depth of thought is equally as compelling.

With regards to approaching the book, I found it enjoyable and helpful to stop every few pages and think about some of the concepts that are posed. Don't consider it a book on AI, or computing, or Bach, or Escher, or Godel, or quirky narratives. Instead, just go with it and follow along with the story. It takes a while, but once you've finished, you'll want to read it again.
Sure, my email is in my profile. The lack of sysadmin is key for me. I focus on the app with gae, not updating BLANK.

I'm hesitant to speculate too much before there's been an investigation, but I believe the shooting took place when there were still a number of congresspeople in the gallery of the house chamber, and she appeared to have a large backpack on that obviously didn't go through security screening.

I can imagine the Capitol Police being worried that something very bad could happen if she was allowed to breach the barrier and run into the chamber.
It's really only as bad as you make it though. Sure, don't grossly over/underestimate but I would imagine that a lot of their contractors work in half day increments at least, which makes it a lot easier to track.

A friend of mine works at a law firm and they track by the minute, as in people record when they go pee and when they come back. that sounds like hell. So I see where you are coming from.
"the display, which draws up to 5x more power than the CPU does" - wat? Apple-supplied monitoring tools report that M1 under full load (all CPU and GPU cores) can draw over 30 watts. Laptop displays don't consume 150 watts. If anything, the displays in either of the M1 portables likely consume about 5 times less than 30W, even at full brightness.

"ARM won't play nice with the larger CPUs they want to make" - wat? Apple holds an architectural license. This means they paid a lot upfront a long time ago and therefore have a more or less perpetual right to design their own Arm cores without input from Arm.

"a competent graphics solution" - Also wat? M1 has an excellent GPU. It doesn't compete with discrete GPUs that use 300 watts, but that's fine: M1 is the chip for entry level Macs, designed for the smallest and lightest segments of their notebook line. And in that product segment, it has been every bit as much a revelation as the CPU. It's very fast, and uses little power given the performance.

What exactly do you think is going to happen when they scale that basic GPU design up? Despite your dismissiveness, in modern silicon architecture energy efficiency is incredibly important: for any given power budget, the more efficient you are the more performance you can deliver. The performance Apple gets out of about 10W on M1 suggests they'll have few problems building a larger GPU to compete with Nvidia and AMD discrete GPUs.
Ah, but the feds are involved, and arrests for this seems like a great way to win points with the majorities in Congress. Budget season is coming up, gotta pad your accomplishments!
We're tired of free products. Charge us transparently upfront.
Also remember "expensive" is relative. I think it added little over 1ms to total frame time per video, but in a 60fps console game that. Our budget was about 1ms or less for the entire UI during gameplay (including scripting, layout and rendering), so a video could more than double that. 4 simultaneous videos would be like 1/4 of the entire frame :).

I believe so. Fair use allows that. If you were to try to hijack the APIs by extending them (in a proprietary way) then you'd possibly be open to litigation.

I'd agree that the court was right to dodge the issue of copyrightability by going for the most narrow interpretation, it's for the lower courts to decide.

Having said that, I think they shouldn't be copyrighted really, and the door is open for expensive litigation by larger companies shaking down smaller ones with this ruling.

As far as hijacking an API goes, well anyone is free to fork an MIT-licensed project, doesn't mean that it will gain traction.

Most of computing is built upon previous work so claiming originality in an API... well many more clever people than me have left their discoveries open to the public, and I suspect that any API originality doesn't measure up well against their work :)
