Eh. Outside Jetbrains' IDEs, I don't remember ever using a Java app that didn't feel like clunky as hell.
CPI is a joke of a metric. Very few economists take it seriously.
Honest question,

If people are thinking of buying and selling BTC, should they start with another crypto currency until the Tether issue is resolved?

Showing an attractive item which is currently out of stock would make complete sense, if there'd be an box to put an email and be notified when it's back in stock.
Inflation adjusted $/sqft on average across the US housing costs exactly the same as it did in the 1970s. With interest rates 1/5 of what they were back then, each square foot is actually much more affordable.

I admit I misspoke, because of course, monetary policy controls interest rates, but I maintain that a change in affordability is not dominated by inflation but rather other social policies. Houses are twice is big and families are 20% smaller.

Happy to debate more but [citation needed].

The guy was interviewed by Inside Edition and said that he was using his assistant's computer which she uses to communicate with her daughter. She had the filter set for her. He did not know how turn it off.
Unfortunately, there's an ambiguity here. Suppose that you're going to watch the Super Bowl with your friends in Chile. So you set the appointment for 1830 local time in Chile. Then Chile changes their timezone, and your local time is wrong since the actual event is based on Eastern time, and not Chile time.
Seriously I think the biggest reason people keep gaming the medical marijuana system here in Seattle is that there are next to no stores open. The liquor board is really dragging its feet on issuing permits.

I live in the University District. There are like three places I could get "medical" marijuana in walking distance. But if I want to buy it without going through the hassle of keeping up the pretense of "back pain" I have to trek halfway across the city.
Angry people want other people to suffer and feel threatened by research and policy proposals that would invalidate their cruelty-as-a-policy.
I've followed the same path, out of curiosity do you mind if I PM you asking a few questions? I'm a couple months out of undergrad and I'd like to pick your brain a bit.
According to the statistics you way above average in terms of response rate.

https://zety.com/blog/hr-statistics

1 in 6 candidates who applied for a job were asked for an interview.
(Jobvite 2017 Recruiting Funnel Benchmark Report)

Your response rate is 3/10. I think you are doing pretty well.
Your idea is not bad actually. For sure, as others have noted, submarine tech is not neglected at all, it has just as much funding as it needs.

But, the idea of making submarines the "modern equivalent of aircraft carriers" makes a lot of sense. The key is to understand what "equivalent" means.

Aircraft carriers are the main tool of power projection. More precisely, aircraft are the main tool of power projection, for the reason they can deliver cheaply more ordnance over a distance of 500-1000 km than the alternatives. The alternatives nowadays are 2: missiles or going with your troops over there and using ground artillery. The second option does not exist in most of the cases, while the first is orders of magnitude more expensive. To give you a sense of how expensive it is, the 2020 US procurement of Tomahawk missiles is only 90 missiles [1]. So, if the Ohio submarine were to unload all its arsenal, that's a year's worth of missiles. An aircraft carrier can deliver tens of thousands of munitions, and can wage an air bombardment campaign for weeks.

The future will be different though. The US Army is pursuing a 1000 mile gun. Once such guns enter production, all of a sudden aircraft will cease being the most economical ordnance delivery platform. I bet a version of such a supergun can be mounted on an Ohio-class submarine and at that point, they'll be able to take over a significant part of the power projection role for the US.

It requires active participants in the market.
The people who peddle it are claiming to know that it is efficacious. Either they don’t know, in which case they are fraudulently claiming knowledge they don’t possess, or they do know it doesn’t work, in which case the are fraudulently claiming it works.

Either way - it’s fraud.
What does their lack of support of a Linux player have to do with their use of open source software in their product?

Netflix is a business with finicky business partners (content owners), and their embrace of FOSS doesn't mean they're required or even allowed to offer an open video streaming solution.

I think the fact that they're contributing to the projects they use is far more important. This article reads like sour grapes.
Not quite exactly what you've asked for, but this is good:

http://www.tarsnap.com/
But what that means is that the internet goes from being a www.com => globally-identifiable site to everyone having their own version. Links, URIs, Universal Resource Identifiers are no longer universal, and can't be used to reliably direct people around. It could be mitigated by changing the scheme (say: http://version/www.com/), but then every address-reading system on the planet has to be changed to handle it without throwing validation fits.

The average person will not understand this and will simply use whatever comes through automatically. If it doesn't lead them where they expected, they simply turn back. Leaving us back where we started.

Heck, you can already do this: you have a hosts file. Just map www.seized.com to the original IP. As long as the servers are running, it'll still work. The problem comes when traffic drops to zero, ad revenue drops to zero, and the reason for the site's existence is lost. Which is precisely the same problem with running alternatives; the average person, who accounts for most of most site's traffic, will take whatever is served to them and not manage it on their own.

Any system like this would eventually bloat to unmanageable levels, as again, ownership transfers look the same as seizures (or the reverse can be made to be true, with the intent to trick people). Eventually, loads of sites would have tons of alternatives. People could nab the servers / IP addresses of the old ones, and run phishing sites that look like the originals, further degrading the use of any alternative addresses...

... so people will use what's already decided for them. Which is what we have now. The fraction of a fraction of 1% of people who will visit the alternatives will not prevent their eventual death. Only the most popular seized pages will have any chance of continuing to exist... at which point their servers are simply seized along with their domains (where possible. governments cooperating in this is only increasing, and if the ACTA goes through it'll likely become the standard, done automatically, instead of the exception).

---

All of this also relies completely on the internet backbone routers not being manipulated. All it would take is a re-write rule, and any attempts to reach the address are taken out entirely. If a distributed DNS gains traction, do you honestly think this won't become a government's weapon of choice? Those routers exist somewhere.
I especially like point #7: "You get a baseline. Then you go and try to do it better."

One possible interpretation: "learn as much as you can about your enemy, then use that knowledge against them." :-)
I think it's not an indication that the government thinks the RIAA's problems are homeland security concerns, and would prefer not to be baited into discussing anything else I think about it.
It is a good trait in many ways, it drives people to put in the extra yards when they may not have. Given that so many things in life are when stripped down a competition.

There has been argument in Australia recently over schools giving the message to primary school kids that it doesn't matter who wins in there sporting contests. I think not only does this ruin a game (when someone isn't actually trying in a game I'm involved in I lose motivation pretty quickly) but it carries over to other areas and gives a kid of close enough is good enough mentality.
Execution for treason is less morally offensive than psychological torture. That's why cruel and unusual punishment is expressly forbidden by the constitution.

EDIT: To say nothing of the fact that he hasn't been convicted of anything yet.
This is an observational study, and therefore has the usual "correlation does not imply causation" shortcoming. Maybe people with poor heart function or prediabetes don't enjoy standing as much, and tend to do it less (i.e. reverse causality from what the article suggests). Or maybe impoverished people don't have jobs that allow them to stand or move at regular intervals, and also don't have easy access to nutritious foods, causing poor health (i.e. a lurking variable).
Indeed. The ruling is quite clear that penetrating radio waves into the residence is presumed to be unacceptable. Even the dissent in Kyllo (FLIR) agrees on this point in regard to x-ray.
Nice! I recently built a whois "endpoint" at http://whois.datasnitch.co.uk/
You can request a domain whois just by adding the name in the URI, e.g.: http://whois.datasnitch.co.uk/fluffcomputing.com

The idea is to be able to use whois from my Windows command line as I do from Linux or OS X, so I wrote a quick and dirty Powershell script for that: https://gist.github.com/pjperez/d1af6c697a6997d07ed3

Works like a charm from Powershell, looks like shit with a browser :)
Tldr: agency model no longer works. Design is no longer something companies outsource, but integral to the product development process.
IANAL, but I would imagine that they're in a similar situation to ThePirateBay -- "We aren't doing anything wrong - we're just giving information to other people how they can". I'm curious how the case is going to shake out.
I recently became a Programmer (thanks to HN) from a SysAdmin for more than 3 years with Corporates. Now that I am a programmer and that too in a Startup amidst knowledgeable minds first thing is to "Learn" a lot..

Not just programming, but the things that shape a programmer, business handling skills and etiquette and more.

And usual things like * learn a new language a month * build a app a month * code daily apart from regular job * read a book a month and more..
Rust is missing garbage collection (which is by design, but IMO manual memory management is the wrong hair shirt to wear), and maturity.

What I want is OCaml without people complaining about concurrency (which I suspect is mostly FUD - how many people who choose go "for performance" actually profile their programs? I get the sense there is this group of people who think any high-level language is inherently as slow as Python). Or Haskell without laziness (maybe Idris will eventually become this?), and perhaps with a lower-friction approach to I/O. Or Scala with native compilation (again I think complaints about this are probably mostly FUD, but if nothing else the JVM startup latency is real). Or any of these three getting the hype that Go gets, tbh.
Go has first-class functions, if it had generics it'd be trivial to put together libraries for most of the functional-collection goodies, while still having imperative style available for when you care about performance or when it's just simpler for the problem.
It looks like a 2nd system effect to me or a cancer of the features.

In JS there are a lot of other stuff to fix before adding syntax. (non commutativity of ==).

But adding stuff like macro, confusing multiline chars it looks like a hell to maintain to me.

Hours of painfully finding what could have triggered the bug!

The code? The macro? Is this a ' or a ` ? ....

Hell, this is hell coming on us my fellow grunt programmers.

They're still in Twitter's database, or else Twitter is criminally negligent with their infrastructure. Trump's Twitter account is now evidence of complicity with sedition against the US, it needs to be frozen and backed up as evidence for law enforcement.
Aussie Rules is a variably-specified pitch:

Australian rules football grounds, even at the highest level of the game, have no fixed dimensions. For senior football, the playing field is an oval, typically between 135–185 metres (148–202 yd) long goal-to-goal and 110–155 metres (120–170 yd) wide wing-to-wing. Grounds can vary from long and narrow to almost circular, and are not necessarily symmetrical, depending upon how and where the field was constructed. At least 5 metres (5.5 yd) of space between the boundary line and any fence is required for safety.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_rules_football_play...

Canadian Football: 150 yards length overall, 65 yards width overall. 2.0144628 acres area, 0.81522418 hectares.

The other question is if you're looking for length or areal metrics.

So now we get to see if we hit that hockey stick. There's a natural experiment at work here to see if everyone starts dying en masse. Sucks for people in the UK, and for folks like my cousins and aunt who work in the NHS, but doomsday is almost here so we get to see what doom is like.

We should play close attention from afar so we can learn.
Several years ago, every sushi restaurant I frequented (in South Florida) stopped mislabeling Escolar as "White Tuna". I thought it was a legal crackdown since I'd already read about the fact that "there's no such thing as White Tuna".

Personally, I don't care what it's called, it's still my favorite (raw). The name Butterfish is new to me, but it makes sense as I always thought it tasted like Mozzarella! (my sister agrees)
Thankfully, I've never suffered from eating it either, but then I never have meals with more than a few ounces of it (I typically have at least 3 different fish when I have sushi or sashimi).

Albacore, for comparison, is only white after it's cooked. Before that it's more translucent and slightly pinkish (Escolar is opaque white).

Oddly enough, I've never had cooked Escolar. I wonder how it is. :)

This whole thing reminds me of the Basa/Tra thing (real Basa is so much better than Tra, but they were selling the latter as the former to get a higher price for years).
You can see how agreeable a comment is by how far up the page it is.

This comment is near the top of the page. Does that make it agreeable?
But two comments with equal points given at different times on the same thread are likely not equally informative; the newer one had fewer impressions but receiving the same points has a higher points to views ratio. Part of the problem with points is that people try to use them like you are -- to gauge agreement for correctness, or who 'won' a discussion or whatever -- but points are a really crappy indicator of that. Points should be normed by impressions, and then smoothed (or given credibility intervals or something).
Here are my random thoughts about the reasons (not in a specific order):

1. they are not part of a software company, say, not generating revenue directly, so they are not high on the payroll list

2. the pay is based on the overall performance of the whole development team, so the great programmers' productivity got mitigated by the worse ones'

3. high productivity may mean technologically superior products, however, superior products don't necessarily lead to market success

4. if there is a function: profit = f (productivity), it may be more likely a logarithmic one, rather than linear, e.g., there is a diminishing return on productivity

5. even if it's linear, the owners won't pay accordingly, because of the law of supply and demand

5a. own yourself when you have a chance, if you think you're great hackers
No, because the point of not displaying comment scores is to invite different commenting behaviour from us. If we make it an option, then we don't get the different behaviour from the whole userbase.
I use git along with my github account. I generally have several different branches, usually a development branch which is my current development build, staging, and then the master being the primary.

When working on a new bug or feature, i'll branch off of develop and create a branch like 'develop-stats-update'. Then when I'm done I'll merge them together and delete develop-stats-update.
One observation: I think that comment ordering is an inadequate substitute for numerical scores. A lot of interesting information goes missing when reducing a scale from interval to ordinal.
Funny how most people don't know this site exists.

For Sleep Cycle, you just leave the phone on the mattress so you can charge at the same time. For something like Circadian Alarm you need to plug in for 20 mins before bed to get enough juice for the night.

I think the typical engineering PhD major makes close to the equivalent of 12,000 Pounds. It's usually around 16-18 starting from what I know. When you're doing something that benefits mostly yourself (getting a degree), making that kind of money is getting paid well, in my opinion.

This appears to have been fixed in XCode 4.
I've been running a weekend programming club for grades 3-5 using Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) and notice some of Chris' points first-hand. For those unfamiliar, Scratch provides a LEGO-like programming environment--it's roots go back to LOGO.

After much initial enthusiasm, the club is down to a core group of dedicated students. The drop-off started when I switched from directed instruction to self-guided projects. Although Scratch contains a relatively small set of core programming blocks, the amount detail involved in building moderately-complex programs (multi-level games, scrolling, interaction) is a lot to overcome for someone without experience. I think some of it relates to the "fundamental disconnect" discussed: A student might be thinking "I want the background to follow the goblin," but needs to translate that into code blocks not part of his/her everyday language. It takes practice and experience to learn the computer's vocabulary for describing a process.
Regarding the GP and cost. Open access often incurs additional costs! It's absolutely madness that such a model of exists at all.
Windows terminal (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk...) combined with the new PowerShell is nice, and borrows syntax from Linux terminals.
Depends on requirements. Someone needs one big, highly-optimized DB instance. Someone else needs high-availability 3+ instance cluster. Having a cluster of containers brings performance penalty but if your app is read-heavy, you can read from all instances and multiply read throughput...

> Nature is probabilistic, and seems to work.

I think what you mean is that the currently most successful model of the physical world is probabilistic, but this doesn't mean that nature is.
You used the term "biased," not them -- just to be clear. Which way a publication leans can be determined by things that have nothing directly to do with integrity or truth telling -- which stories they cover, for instance. In practice, lean often comes along with audience. Like any publication, news outlets have audiences, and the interests of that audience group will determine what stories it covers and how it covers them. This can be done with full journalistic integrity; in fact, it's harder (and perhaps impossible) for a publication to have zero political lean.

Political lean != acting as a mouthpiece.

Do also please note that your personal political leanings will determine whether you view the reporting of any publication as unethically biased or not. No matter which sides we're talking about, what one party reports as truth, another will hear as politically motivated.
Preface: This is rumor, although one that would require extreme cleverness and coordination to fake.

A US intelligence contractor that collects location data from apps on phones made a presentation that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was shut down from October 7 to 24, 2019. This was reported in the popular US press [1]. You probably missed that in the nightmare flood of last year. I did when it was first reported...

Thus far, the earliest-detected SARS-CoV-2 in the EU has been in November. I would bet that no evidence is ever found for it globally before late October, 2019. We may look for a long time.
