I didn't realize that concatenating two strings was the same exact concept as adding two numbers together.
You learn something new everyday.

Oh, they're not?

Then why are you using the same operator?

...

They reused the operator because you can say in English that “you are adding two strings together”, and have it be a perfectly reasonable sentence to say. As the designers were English speaking, it made enough sense to them to add it to that operator. If they spoke a different language, who knows what operator they would have used instead.

A better idea would be to allow people to add new operators. Even better if you can use that same feature to extend existing operators where it makes sense.

The reason few languages allow that is that their parsing system is still largely designed around the memory and speed tradeoffs that were required in the 1970s. As such it is difficult to alter the parser while it is parsing.

Raku has this feature, and it works by subclassing the current parser to add new operators. (It's intended that you can also temporarily replace it for one that parses an entirely different language.)
E-ink has no draw when static, but changing from white to black or back involves a physical state change that takes quite a lot of energy. Many eink readers rate their battery life in number of full screen refreshes.
-- researching this a bit now, the one thing I've found is the Intel Larrabee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrabee_(microarchitecture), cancelled and transmogrified into the xeon phi.

still haven't found a consumer graphics card with a MIMD architecture. I'm guessing there might be more on-going research in this area with the GPGPU on FPGA communities.
"However, if you only use Google for reverse image searching, you will be disappointed more often than not. Limiting your search process to uploading a photograph in its original form to just images.google.com may give you useful results for the most obviously stolen or popular images, but for most any sophisticated research project, you need additional sites at your disposal — along with a lot of creativity.

This guide will walk through detailed strategies to use reverse image search in digital investigations, with an eye towards identifying people and locations, along with determining an image’s progeny. After detailing the core differences between the search engines, Yandex, Bing, and Google are tested on five test images showing different objects and from various regions of the world."
That was amazing times when with Delphi you can build an app with database which automates some tasks and sell it to local business. Easy money. Lawyers, libraries, trade businesses, even gas station !
Israel had a pretty large population that doesn’t want to be vaccinated so to get this number they compared people that were vaccinated against people that weren’t.

It turns out that almost all people that get sick are the people that were not vaccinated.
Assuming you really want to know, try SharpKeys.
Well, in a way this is still correct mentality, it reflects reality of life. For example, theft is perceived as norm in the workplace and included in people's salaries (people doing same jobs but in circumstances that makes theft easier get less). Most typical example is the wage of a salesperson: those selling pre-packed goods measured in pieces get more, sometimes way more, than those selling weighted goods, because they can't 'hack' the scales.

There are almost no good salaries, and very little chance to get caught, so this is really, the norm. And it happens on all levels of society. Frequently people who get caught for theft on the workplace are not even fired, let alone prosecuted: they can't be replaced because new ones will steal, too.

As for developers, there is still 'we vs they' mentality, fraud against Westerners is commonly looked upon as almost a patriotic act. While same kind of action against Russian devs may have bad consequences and few would dare to try (while this last may not work for Eastern Europe outside ex-Soviet Union because they never looked upon Westerners as 'they' - rather, Soviets were 'they').
This isn't a logic cap. The 11 character password is easier to remember and faster to type than the 6 letter one, so it is perfectly fair to compare it.
Just wanted to point it out for people who did not know that.

2. Not sure.
Has a bureau of the US federal government just claimed ultimate authority over the internet's domain name system?

If this is the case, then obviously we have a very serious problem on our hands. This threatens the way the internet works at the infrastructure level. Clearly the US needs to be stripped of their root DNS server privileges.
for a site the don't want anyone to see? ;)

But perhaps you're right and the FBI can be sued for non-compliance.
There was so much hope that poker would be granted legal status about a year ago, but congress does tend to get sidetracked.

Nice to see other 2+2ers on HN.
This is actually perfect. Filesharing sites don't register on the average user radar.

Online gambling sites? Joe Schmoe's everywhere are about to get seriously angry.

It's sad it came to this but maybe it takes something as overreaching as this to get the attention of people.
I stopped using my wakemate after maybe 3 weeks mostly out of frustration. I was never able to score higher than 65 despite sleeping for long hours, short hours, etc. (is my sleeping really that bad every day?). The other thing that frustrated me is all the data is useless unless you tag it and create your own trends to follow, i.e. I sleep better when I [exercise]. I sleep worse when I [ate before bed].

The thing that really got me though is that every time you have to type in the same tags over again, you can't pick from previous tags, which got old fast.

Oh, they also never sent me back a charger after they told us to throw it out (first batches of Wakemates had faulty chargers) :(
There are a few free/cheap version control systems out there for PSDs.

Pixelnovel timeline is reasonably good, although currently their storage plans are quite small. Adobe's own version cue server (which they annoyingly discontinued) is pretty usable as well.

Hopefully the Adobe Drive stuff they've recently rolled out will end up integrated into one of the big (D)VCS's, so we can finally start managing digital assets as easily as code.

I don't think that you're ever going to get the dev community to force format changes on Adobe, because the chances or someone really building a solid competitor that you'd need to pass files back and forth from are so low.
I think that you could use some better logo, and also, I would suggest you to offer some free premium accounts for the start-up.
I think "internet money" was stuff like Flooz.
Your parallel computing approach sounds intriguing! Could you provide an example script? I would like to look into this. If you like you could open an issue as a feature request and provide a code snipped there.
Atrocious advice. I think it's intended seriously, but perhaps this is satire?

Also, that grey-on-white style is something to avoid. Low contrast doesn't help anyone.
Something I've noticed in highly successful companies is that problems never get fixed because the sound of the money printer from the core business is deafening.

Our customer portal loads 2 versions of React, Angular, Knockout and jQuery on the same page? Doesn't matter, it's printing billions of dollars.

Rockstar's money printer is so loud that they don't care about problems.

Same thing for Valve, their money printer is so loud that they barely bother to make games anymore and let the Steam client languish for years (how did they let Discord/Twitch happen?).
> Equal opportunities should exist. Equal outcomes won't likely exist, purely because of different abilities, different environments, etc.

Thomas Sowell puts an even finer point on this:

"If there is not equality of outcomes among people born to the same parents and raised under the same roof, why should equality of outcomes be expected — or assumed — when conditions are not nearly so comparable?"
Could be that at release the JSON was just 200kb with 1000 entries or something and this quadratic "algorithm" wasn't the slowest part of the process
Location Based Social Networking is an interesting approach to online networking. The idea is that the connections and interactions between users are based on creating virtual data that is tied to a specific location. In the most simple example, a user can store a message in a specific location in virtual reality. A Location Based Social Network would then allow other users to "find" this message by arriving at that same location. The information does not exist in the real world; it is only the application that these messages can be created and found.
Last year :)
The difficult thing that you're going to run into is that most banks (outside of the big guys (Wells Fargo, Citi, BoA, etc) you're going to be utilizing an "off the shelf" system for all of your online banking. There's only a handfull of these vendors out there controlling the market, so little to no incentive for them to innovate and make things easier so requesting new features, updated UI/UX and so on are very slow to be added. In this space "mobile banking" still very much means SMS messages.

Now "in front" of the loggin theres many ways you can utilize the web to make things better. Look at how any receptacle consumer service is using the tools available to market and communicate with their customers, general great customer service through email, twitter and so on are all good options but will require some due-diligence brought on by compliance regulations.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
My takeaway is that it's a bit like how your smart phone will wrap in your IM and SMS messages to a person in the same list interface.

I'm guessing this will be something where you select a person you know, and up pops a list of all of the interactions you've had with them in one stream.

Seems like it might work, if it's seamless enough. Saying it's "email" or an "email killer" is being short-sighted -- it's giving you a stream for an individual.
The doctor has to convince the patient that the test is necessary. The TSA agent can ignore any evidence of the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of patdowns and doesn't need to obtain your consent.

And that's the critical difference here.

What the doctor does is WITH your consent, and you have a choice in the matter -- plus it's actually truly for your own good.

What the TSA does is NOT with your consent, you don't have a choice in the matter (subject of the TSA's next porn video, or sexual molestation), and it's NOT for your own good, since there's no conceivable way that it will actually improve airline safety, given that it won't have any affect on any serious terrorist attacks anyway.
Well, it's a good day to be the top search result on Google for Fmail... for a Facebook app I built and killed 3 years ago.
Ok great article, also read the wikipedia entry...

Now, anyone has resources on overcoming this beyond just a few bullet points?
That might be. And it might have been worth her while (IANAL)
Just for clarification - I'm not trashing on Facebook. I think there are a lot of legitimate uses for it and for a lot of people it's a great tool. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's a POS and something you should "truly hate." While I'm somewhat disappointed this event didn't live up to the hype people generated for it, I don't think this is going to bring about the fall of civilization.

Not being able to use the same account on my phone and ipad is retarded.
"...the music industry is economically quite small and unimportant compared to the computer industry."

For some perspective, the largest label groups in the "music industry" are owned by corporations that are bigger than Google. Universal: owned by Vivendi. Sony Music: owned by (guess who). EMI: owned by Citigroup. Not exactly small economic players...
Nice. I might have guess it if you'd included the chorus: kkkohdkkkohdkkkohdkkkohd. :)
"over-priced" is always relative to supply and demand. When supply exceeds demand and there is no correction, the economy moves in a distorted and irrational fashion, preparing the way for larger corrections in the future.

The parent had hard evidence supply seriously exceeded demand.

What do you have in that department?
>I'm doing everything in my power not to push my kids.

I don't understand this. Children are simply adults-in-training. That's what they always have been for every species on this planet. It is our job as parents to train them to be the best adults they can possibly be--for their own future benefit. In this world, that means make sure they excel academically as well as socially.

Not pushing your kids is the exact opposite of this. Most kids don't have the motivation to study hard. It's your job to try to instill a love of learning, while at the same time pushing them to try their best in its absence.

This modern idea of childhood as something to be cherished and protected for its own sake misses the mark. Childhood is a very delicate time for a developing child, so great care must be taken. But we need to realize that childhood is only 1/5 of a persons life. We need to make sure we give them the tools in that first 1/5 so the rest of their lives can be as fulfilling as possible.
It's not a prediction. I tracked the comment throughout the day. Hence the description of the movement.

Recently I have worked with Deliveroo, a global food delivery company on architecting, implementing and maintaining scalable distributed systems built with Golang and deployed on a modern AWS-based Cloud platform.
Stale is stale wherever you put it - page four or on top. Technology moves so fast that that responses from 2009 to HTML/JS question should be just ignored no matter how green the accepted checkmark.

Not only that, but mass is a matrix for electrons moving in a crystal lattice, even for normal coordinate systems. It's also true if you want F = ma to continue to hold in special relativity, then m is a velocity-dependent matrix.
Yeah, it's even worse on mobile... it came up in my news feed that uses chrome by default, it was pretty horrible. Mostly use Brave on my phone.
As a factor it seems believable, as THE factor it seems more likely that there's a big funder looking for a strawman...

Which industry does have an immense and known responsibility for insect deaths? Maybe the industry producing insecticides that are hugely profitable but at risk of global bans?

I'd not at all be surprised if this is an elaborate way to sow legal doubt on the anti-insecticide / organic agriculture efforts.

In the same vein, his next business might have to do with selling immortality to those Silicon Valley dudes that believe they deserve transcendency. Will end badly.
I don't think it's about software getting more complex. It does become more complex, but you don't actually write more code or handle a more complex architecture, you just build it from more complex blocks. Those blocks are packaged so their own complexity is hidden from you.

And you can write software on you spare time, and distribute it. Like it was done for Linux, gcc, git, and many other open source software. The other reason we have free software is because many software companies write their own tools and distribute them as Open Source because those are just tools, not what makes them money.

AWS on the other hand, is not just software but it's infrastructure. It's servers that are running, maintained, etc. There are already Open Source alternatives to AWS, that you can install on your servers and maintain, but it's a very different experience from using the AWS tools on Amazon's servers.
If my understanding of the math is correct, a carbon tax is somewhat more fundamentally meaningful than UBI vs other forms of welfare. A carbon tax is in a way trying to model a previously external factor in the market, i.e. the environment or earth itself.
Note that the "industry leaders" who "stand by this statement" have published slightly different variations of it.

See, for example, Circle's statement[1], which styles itself as a joint statement regarding "the Insolvency of Mt.Gox", and describes Mt Gox's actions as "abhorrent". At the end of Circle's statement, after listing some of the high standards to which Bitcoin custodians should be held, the author(s) make this observation: "It does not appear to any of us that MtGox followed any these essential requirements as a financial services provider."

The statements of Kraken[2], BTC China[3] and Blockchain.info[4] also describe Mt Gox's actions as "abhorrent" and make the same observation about Mt Gox in relation to its compliance with appropriate standards.

Coinbase's statement[5], on the other hand, does not use "abhorrent" and does not express any view on whether Mt Gox complied with the "essential requirements" of a Bitcoin custodian. But the Coinbase statement does include this sentence: "Mtgox has confirmed its issues in private discussions with other members of the bitcoin community". That sentence is conspicuously absent from the other statements.

Finally, the Bitstamp.net[6] statement is completely different. It says that the "known losses" of fiat currency and Bitcoin "are limited to those balances that were in MtGox's care", and that Mt Gox "can best explain how this happened".

The names of the industry leaders appear at the bottom of each statement. Have they signed off on all of them?

Did some leaders edit the "joint" statement to avoid potentially defaming Mt Gox?

Or do some of them know something we don't?

Here's another quote I really like:

"If you think you can do it, or you think you can't do it, either way you are right."
Take the words "high-speed" out of that sentence and it will probably be more accurate.

I'm just curious, what characteristics of this boat make it a kayak and not a canoe? He seems to call it both and some of the indigenous "canoes" look very similar.
No, they can't share leaves. Trees are acyclic by definition - no leaf may have more than one parent.

Present-day hierarchical file systems are digraphs, not trees.

The "no income tax" part doesn't kick in until 2017.

Note that the CRS summary says that the bill states that paying off the debt in 7 years is the bill's purpose. The CRS does not assert that it will work.

I suppose it might work, but I can point to one flaw right now: it cancels the income tax in 2017, not "when the debt is paid off".
Maybe they'll split the brand? iTunes, iMovies as seperate apps and the store on the web?
it's much more likely that a technical student has developed good communication skills than the other way round. in the real world, people are not required to write in depth literary analysis: most people have all the core reading and written communications skills they need after high school.

it's also important to point out that your friend's example is a special case. when looking at the value of a particular degree, it's important to consider the full distribution of outcomes.

Your definition of debate is overly restrictive. I can assure you that scientists debate unsettled and speculative things all the time, and precisely one of the things being debated is “what should we test for?”
That's what NFT is.
When I think of “make it work”, I think, “do any hackey thing you need to to get it to work”. Then in the next step, “make it right“, I refactor and clean up. It’s much like writing, where the advice is to write without censoring, then edit later. I think the idea is it’s always easier to edit something that exists, rather than write something correct the first time, or at least try to make it correct the first time.

That being said, when I read your quote where it first says “make it correct”, I would skip the first step I mentioned above, which is a very important step. What are your thoughts?
rhetorical? gov newsom is staring down recall
The fact that in many states there are people dying for lack of hospital beds is not "perception coming from how the media reports it".

I'm Brazilian born and raised, and even though have been out for about 7 years most of my friends and family are still there.

The fact that pretty much everybody I know over there knows at least a handful of people who have died of COVID-19 and hell knows how many that have had it is not "how the media reports it".

The struggle is real, the situation is pretty dire over there.
NP. Yeah, I was recently tested and found very deficient and even my doctor didn't prescribe anything close to that level. I'm at ~14k/day (50k twice a week) for 12 weeks. Talking with my colleagues, it seems most are on a prescribed Vitamin D supplement (or an encouraged supplement), but no one else was even close to my level. One has a 10,000 IU daily dose for 8 weeks, the rest have 1k-2k (like your friends) indefinite daily dose or just for the winter to carry them through.
