Compelling story. Would be a lot easier to follow if author were clearer on relative dates. (How long after the 1939 threat was the first bust? The later SF bust? The final hospitalization?)

Note the author, Johann Hari, has had some issues with accuracy and attribution in the past, and some argue that even his recent work is sloppy with quotes for dramatic purposes (http://www.jeremy-duns.com/blog/2014/9/7/kdgwxcbsned1rknh0h3...).
A corollary of that is “you can’t just guess what people want; you have to talk to them, try stuff, and iterate on your ideas to find out what people want.”
Here is a 1978 paper "Compilation and delayed evaluation in APL":

https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/512760.512761

In the citations there is a 1970 paper "An APL Machine" which had some techniques which might or might not be considered a JIT.
And here's one from Carl Sagan for a nice counterpoint:

"The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
If Common Lisp, Scheme or Dylan had been adopted by mainstream programmers, dynamic languages with JIT/AOT compilers would already be a common practice instead of only available to a few that care to look around.
Exactly. If you're not learning during your lectures you're taking the wrong classes or at the wrong university.
I sure did it more than ten times, but quickly learned to be careful and insert the finger slowly into the moving fan.
I read your guide when i was 14 (translated to hebrew), until now, i have managed to write a functional usermode tcp/ipv4 stack, and now in the middle of development of a usermode-based wireless networking device in an international company.
You are a big part of it. Thanks.
Certainly, I just think the two are in the same category, along with Medium, as opposed to the Facebook/Twitter or TikTok/Instagram/SnapChat categories. Different vibes and demographics.
I don’t think you’re wrong. You might be missing a bigger game though.

BTC is fundamentally deflationary in nature - let’s ignore the price volatility and the like for now, I’ll cover that later.

It has also so far proven incredibly resistant to attack, both inside and outside the community and despite easy billion dollar payouts if an attack would be successful.

There are also efforts making good progress (lightning network among others), addressing structural issues, and large scale semi regulated brokers with good track records (coinbase, kraken).

The price volatility is speculative, and while some is get rich quick (well, a lot), some is also what happens in a deflationary spiral.

If we speculate that Bitcoin will end up being a ‘not able to be broken by a greedy gov’t like all the other currencies’ means of exchange, the current price is cheap. Every large institution will need some to clear central bank type transactions (the part that may be what ends up on the blockchain), and 14 million ish isn’t enough at current prices.

If we speculate that will never happen; the current price is ridiculous and it’s all just a giant Ponzi scheme.

Frankly, neither of these options it is fair to rule out, and the volatility is because of uncertainty and the wide variability in value for Bitcoin between these options.

We’re entering a stage where global attitudes are shifting to one of distrust, especially between countries and citizens and their gov’ts, and some means of exchange that doesn’t require a distrusted entity to play nice has value, even if it isn’t 50k per.
You could enter your basis when you transfer coins into the account.

This is how it works with other assets. If you transfer stocks between brokerage accounts, they communicate the basis as well.
really cool resource for learning but a lot of these have nothing to do with k8s, beyond the company in question having k8s as part of their stack (i'm addressing the possible perception of the post title suggesting k8s horror stories).
> We entered the new millennium with the concept that most computers could use most extension hardware with (relatively) little effort, and you could upgrade your computer's basic operating system at will; even change it to another one entirely.

> I'd love to update my still-decent Android phones that have long since stopped receiving security updates, but I can't. This is objectively inferior, a massive regression from general computing.

this is one of the smelliest BS i've read on hn in the last year or two. phones before android were not upgradable AT ALL. if you were lucky, you could put a bigger memory card, and that was it.

nowadays you can access most of the sources of the os for your average android smartphone, you can rebuild the os and reflash it yourself. doing such thigs was a basically just wet dream in early 2000s.
Correction: a fork, not a clone.
I doubt any serious search engine is literally using PhantomJS, so I wouldn't see this as a huge problem.

Google is in all likelihood using V8 directly and is explicit about who it is. In fact, most legitimate search engine spiders are.
I don't think it's cynical to suggest that groundwater contamination is a non-issue as far as the gas fracking boom is concerned. We've already seen that demonstrable contamination in the form of oil spills is legally and financially viable for energy companies, why would natural gas be any different?
How about "junkware" or "crapware"?
The Uber for Everything is called Craigslist.

It's a fairly efficient market which means you can generally buy a used drill for the same price that you can sell it for.
Hey great project I always wanted to set set aside time for similar projects, mainly going over through the troves of data available from the Kepler that is publicly available. I might start a a project and put it on github but as you all know such things are incredibly time consuming, yet are possible with a small and dedicated team.

If anyone would like to collaborate on such a project in a dedicated and professional manner I would love to chat.

I have 2 friends onboard (google and MS search engineers) who will put in time too given proper dedication.
Ah, no. I typed a password of the same length and same amount of lowercase, uppercase, digits, and 'special characters'.

I was way too paranoid to type in my real password. As I've now come to realise was everyone else.

I think the passwords you have on different services show how valuable that service is to you. For me, my Google Account is the most important account i have. It has a lot of information about me, and every other service I'm using. If anyone gets my Google Account, they've basically got my whole online identity. So because of that I try my best to make it safe. On the other hand, my Facebook/Twitter account have nothing of value, so while I wouldn't like them to get hacked, I don't feel the need to have a 28 character password.
The Cochrane review on omega-3 fats in 2004[1] didn't find any clear benefit concerning Mortality/Cardiovascular problems/Cancer.

The recipient of this email responded in the comments of the post, and she sounds pretty genuine. People have preached LinkedIn to us 20-somethings since we started the job hunt junior year of university. This woman literally offers her network as a service to people, is it really that out of hand to assume that asking her to connect on LinkedIn would be a big deal. After all, she had just applied to be a part of this job board.

Now, I think that the actual message of the response is fine. If you don't connect with people you don't know, that's fine. You can say as much, but going off a rant is just a waste of bits.
Nobody has any idea, and that's OK. We're all "dying slowly", one day at a time. You'll get over it. Have some fun, you're still very young and ideas will come with time and experience.
Then by this definition and by example of what has been done with V so far, it's definitely no "toy language."
That is most likely true. And it tells a lot about everyday racism in the US that a black US citizen is most likely better treated by police abroad than at home.

But that was a problem during WW2 as well between US forces and their host countries, e.g. the UK or New Zealand where litteral fights were caused by white GIs insisting in racial segregation be implemented by Scotish pub owners and shops. The locals sided with the black GIs.
The American Dream is not about getting more for less, as in "most luxury for the least amount of effort." It's about having a shot at owning a business without the financial backing of a rich family [0], which is more like "most luxury for an insane amount of effort."

[0] A lot of recent discussion centers on how many of the most successful US entrepreneurs come from privileged backgrounds, but you should not lose sight of the fact that literally every other country in the world will fare a lot worse in this regard. Many things are broken in the US, but no other place on Earth has lower barriers to starting your own LLC and hiring your first employee.
The whole Oracle google lawsuit had nothing to do with modern Android’s use of Java — java has been open-sourced since and for a long time now (by oracle themselves).

The lawsuit was about Sun’s license that explicitly demanded a purchase for use on mobile devices for their Java programming language (as that was the area they wanted to get money from). Google instead copied most of the APIs and called it a day, and Oracle bought Sun and went after the lawsuit.

But since the license changed in the meantime so that OpenJDK is completely open-source and has the same license as the Linux kernel, it was all about an older state of things.
Human trafficking remains a grave concern in European locales where prostitution is broadly legal. This is not an America-issue, it's a human nature issue.
Yes, it's strange that any business manages not to make money, because obviously the people running them are the best people making the best decisions, because in the best possible world, who else could they be?

> random internet posters

This is solipsism. Just because people are random to you doesn't mean they're random to themselves. You could literally be arguing with an executive of the company that was overruled, but you're seeing the world as full of NPCs.
This is one of the many reasons why I decided to go with bulbs that have Zigbee support. They can be controlled by other software. I bought a FEIT electric bulb and the app is terrible. Hopefully open standards like Zigbee and Matter win.
Wow, Choplifter takes me back. There was also the excellent Rescue Raiders. Spy vs. Spy on the Apple II was pretty good for multi-player fun (using one computer and keyboard), as well.
Looks interesting.

Erlang VM (BEAM) is a good choice for this.

It is also a hard problem.

I copied a short description of the protocol from their GitHub overview doc:

https://github.com/skunkwerks/swirl/blob/feature/docs/doc/ov...

---

PPSP is a transport protocol — it transfers a stream of opaque binary data from one location to another. It is unique amongst transport protocols as it is a many-to-many transfer protocol, that is, there is no single master server or endpoint that manages the data transfer.

A swarm is a set of peers that are sharing (receiving and/or transferring) the same data, as a set of small chunks, which is identified by a unique cryptographic recursive hash of the data, called the Root Hash.

Summary of this tempest:

Girl applies to join a "job bank" email group in Cleveland, in order to find a job. Girl feels like it's also a smart idea to connect with the operator of the email group on LinkedIn.

Operator absolutely eviscerates girl for requesting the LinkedIn connection. Girl spreads operator's rude response around the internet. Operator is now sad, and has apologized.
Actually, that's exactly what I remember. I think I have been misattributing it this entire time.

Damn it. Thanks. :P
Where are you getting this from? I can see all the source at https://github.com/atom. Every repo I checked has the MIT license.
This is a good example of the difference between "fear due to ignorance" and "fear can only come from ignorance". Perhaps there are reasons to think that heart arrhythmia is a potential effect of microwaves. Certainly there's an obvious and plausible mechanism, i.e. microwaves induce electric currents, the heart is sensitive to electric current, and the two could very well interfere.

However, this is the first I've heard of it. Which is not to discount it, but rather to point out that people fear microwaves for completely different reasons. I've never seen anyone say "it'll interfere with my heartbeat!" No, they think that they'll get brain cancer or something that makes little sense, and for which there is no real evidence.

Regarding Joe Bageant, I don't think that quote really contained any facts, so there isn't much to substantiate. Anyway, I'd rather learn about irradiating frogs than argue, so thank you for the link to the paper on that.

Edit: one big fat exception to not hearing about this is, of course, the common warning that people with pacemakers should stay away from microwaves. Which illustrates this in the opposite direction: while there's debate about how realistic the danger is, nobody thinks it's a crackpot idea, because it's fairly well founded.
A good way to learn all five is to write a full-stack web app. Your MVC framework will teach you OO-design and you can use Rails on the backend. I'd recommend Ember.js over Angular.js for its more traditional approach to MVC (read: Cocoa-esque), but I'm admittedly not an expert in either.
Well, this is a motherfucking website without the swearing, so I guess it could be useful to people that would be offended by that? Although, to be fair, the intersection of people that would switch to raw HTML but are offended by swearing is nonexistent as far as I know...
The person who is under 26 is not the same person who posted their rates.

I doubt it, Android TV (before Google TV) doesn't require a Google account (but strongly urges you to log in) and I don't think they'd change that with the Google TV redesign.
There is a middle ground between taking your ball and going home and playing by the new rules without complaint.

Adding another app — my vote goes to Signal - and making a lot of noise on WhatsApp is one option. If I recall correctly, WhatsApp has statuses. Changing yours to “Keeping WhatsApp for business transactions only — find me on Signal for private chat” is one idea. The people on this board have the power to move their friends away from terrible software. Use it.
> Is there a way to donate anonymously via monero, zcash, grim, beam, etc...?

These organizations have enough going on. It would be a waste of donor capital to add defending against money laundering inquiries to the list.
That's an interesting thought. Have created an [issue in our browser](https://github.com/UprootLabs/gngr/issues/54) to investigate our implementation further.
Maybe 25 years even. (After that, it went downhill fast.)

The defense was truly remarkably in depth and at all levels prepared to continue operations without a remaining chain of command. A Soviet invading force would have of course "won" within weeks, but not before suffering huge losses thanks to always-at-the-ready 200 state of the art fighter bombers using highways all over the country for runways, with a ground crew of only 5 per plane, and a handful of the worlds best (for littoral waters) submarines.

When the coastal artillery would be neutralized, presumably with nukes or speznas, the mobile artillery would retreat inland. The cities were assumed to be nuked, but a large fraction of the city population had underground shelter.

Even with Air and Naval forces depleted, the real struggle for a would be invader would only begin. There were weapons and food stored all over the countryside, and the communicated doctrine was "if you hear about a surrender from anyone, even the prime minister, it's false news. Keep fighting until the country is liberated."

It would have been like Afghanistan, except the insurgents would have had access to better weapons.

All of this had the purpose of deterring the Soviet command from full on ground invasion. Perhaps only nuke the larger cities, destroy some strategic assets and kill the government. In a WW3 scenario, that would have been a win for Sweden.
Electricity is always produced with a large buffer (which is why you have lower electricity prices at night to encourage people to use it more, otherwise it's wasted capacity) - so I doubt there's any real increase in electricity production.
Really don't.
Bloomberg's journalists should really start to consult their articles with some experts...

First of all, oil is still not cheaper than coal in terms of energy efficiency:

1 oil barrel is equal to 159 kilograms.

1 metric ton is equal to 1000 kilograms.

oil heat of combustion = 47 MJ/kg (optimistically)

coal heat of combustion = 25 MJ/kg

https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/facts-and-figu...

coal price per metric ton from article = $66.85

oil price per barrel from article = $26.98

Which give us:

coal: 25 [MJ/kg] * 1000 [kg] = 25000 MJ / 66.85$ = 374 [MJ per $]

oil: 47 [MJ/kg] * 159 [kg] = 7473 [MJ] / $26.98 = 276 [MJ per $]

Secondly, we have regulations and limits on coal and some artificial anti free market regulations on renewable.
So comparing it does not make any sense. You newer know what would be a price of renewable energy in total without these regulations.

Thirdly, as a homework please make a similar calculation for wood :)

Testing will be randomized apparently.
It must have some pretty accessible commentary to engage with non-gamers.
I've never understood the use of puzzles and tests for hiring. I'm notoriously bad at them, but I consider myself to be a very solid programmer, with 13 years professional web development experience, and a major open source project under my belt.

I think one of the reasons I don't do well on these is because my brain doesn't seem to work well for hypotheticals. I need real world use cases or else it's exceedingly difficult for me to work out a solution for a problem that is too abstract.

Maybe I'm unique amongst other programmers with my level of experience. It's possible that other programmers love doing puzzles like this, but I tend to get discouraged if I'm looking at a company, and they use tests and puzzles to gauge my capabilities.

Especially (and I wouldn't accuse Facebook of this, but it happens much too often), if those tests and puzzles are substitutes for looking at the massive amounts of code I've written.
I really liked the simplicity of the landing page, and especially liked the 'Example' flight-code, so I could search. The page it bought me to wasn't as good in my opinion - you've gone from simple to complex very quickly.

Google Earth plugin? I don't have that, do you know what market of people actually do? Perhaps you can use a basic Map API, using the GE Plugin as a an afterthought feature...

I didn't really like the usage of the Google Ads either, if you've just launched... surely the ads should be kept out until everything is ironed out?

Don't get me wrong, I believe this is awesome. Keep up the good work. :)
Whether or not the survey was representative is a matter of opinion. While Moot is the head of the 4chan community he's not really placed to know what the 'real' data is more than the next person.

The bigger story here is that by encouraging TechCrunch readers to take the survey from a link on TechCrunch.com, Alexia Tsotsis has ensured that the results can definitely not be considered representative going forward.

I'm left wondering whether that was an act of intentional maliciousness or just plain stupidity.
While I understand there is some malware that runs on OSX (as there are on Linux and even on *BSD), it's nowhere near what could be considered a huge problem.

I never saw one, BTW.
Thanks for the feedback :)

I am definitely intending to fallback on a standard Google Map view for the main area if Google Earth is not installed (with the link to install etc). But I figured I had to get something launched so stripped it for now!

Google Ads, yes it's a good point I'll just remove for now.
I suppose we can't prove he is telling the truth
Agreed. Asbestos is a wonder material that the world is unironically worse-off without. To be fair, putting it in brake pads which get worn down into dust probably wasn't a great idea...
Cars and parking lots take up a loooot of space in many American cities though. Space that could have been used to build housing or businesses or mixed-use instead.
Eh? People who installed Sandstorm in 2014 are still getting regular security auto-updates today, even if they haven't touched their server between then and now. The very first app package ever built for Sandstorm -- created before Sandstorm was even announced publicly -- still works today, on the latest version of Sandstorm.
What do you mean “no means of escape?”

There are trains, buses, taxis, bikes, rental cars etc.

To me owning a car seems much more miserable!
You seem to have missed the point. The project in the article was simple because that is best for exposition. The article would hardly have been more helpful with the code for a realistic python package dumped into it, would it?
I'm not sure cross-platform SIMD vector data types are practical, at least not ones that don't force you to understand the implementation details on every microarchitecture you target.

If you actually care about performance, and presumably anyone that wants to use SIMD vector types does, you need to fit the higher-level data structures to the nuances of the microarchitecture you are targeting. Compilers don't do optimization at that level, you have to write the code yourself. Thin wrappers on compiler intrinsics is actually the right level of abstraction if you want to exploit those capabilities.

Similarly, how code is parallelized is completely dependent on what you are trying to do, the software architecture, and the silicon microarchitecture; there is no way to usefully standardize it outside of use cases so narrow they probably don't belong in C++. Parallelization in practice happens at a higher level of abstraction than the programming language.

And FWIW, I use many of these new C++ language features in real software every day because they provide immediate and compelling value. I am not an academic.
I wrote an Automator script to do this with my computer and it really helps bolt yourself down to crank out a work sesh. In the context of programming, not having color-coded syntax slows me down enough to think through the work instead of typing away immediately. It's almost a meditative exercise that reminds me of switching from digital cameras to shooting, processing, and scanning black and white film.
I use elasticsearch-dsl-py for constructing and testing complex queries. It's great, much easier than debugging deeply nested JSON queries.
>submarine cables fried

All submarine cables laid down in the last 20 years use fiber-optics, which isn't susceptible to solar flares like copper cables are.
Very true pointing out the multi in multimedia. Just like musicians, they make a big chunk of their earnings off of merchandise and concerts and not just record sales and royalties.
