Modern codecs like AV1 and whatever succeeds it can already be good enough for such special needs too. It's only natural for free codecs to catch up to that eventually.
Unless you're within a few feet of the longitude of the center of the timezone, this is already the case.

That ship sailed, back in the railroad era when we decided to standardize time away from mean solar time.

If we assume that the Gregorian calendar remains in use for as long as it's already been in use, the total accumulated error would likely be on the order of minutes. We could use a monotonic time scale like TAI for literally centuries and nobody would notice except astronomers, and arguably it would simplify astronomical corrections too because the underlying scale would be monotonic, which it isn't presently.
Even the US military doesn't have the doctrine to blindly follow any order under any circumstances. Or at least, that's what I would expect from any modern military. In any case, there is no real danger here and Pelosi is exaggerating a bit.

Fun fact: If there had been a clear chain of command and lieutenant colonel Stanislav Petrov of the Soviet Air Defense Forces had followed his orders without questioning them, then the world would probably have been destroyed in a nuclear Armageddon in 1983.[1]

I made you a crappy flowchart that demonstrates Duff's Device (with 4 cases rather than 8 since I'm lazy):

The basic idea is that the switch jumps into the body of the loop somewhere, after that it can do blocks of the same function over and over without having to do the conditional check to exit the loop as often.

For example, if you're copying memory, and you want to copy say, 9 bytes then you'd jump into the loop, copy 1 byte, run the conditional check, realize that you're not done, and then copy 8 more bytes, run the conditional check, realize you're done and exit the loop. For the 8*n times you run through the "unrolled" loop after that first pass through, there are a lot less conditional branches, so many processors can execute those instructions faster. That's the idea, anyway.

Indeed. It's a bit sad how us human resources often balk at accepting this fact.
I don't think this is right; you're thinking of buying a put. When you write (sell) a put option you are giving somebody else the right to force you to buy the underlying security at a given price floor. Should the equity fall below that price, you (the seller) are then obligated to spend the extra money over and above the market price to purchase the stock. Otherwise, the buyer won't exercise the option and you keep the fee.

Now I am no options trader, so if I've missed something (very likely) please correct me.

Compared to how much most VC-fueled founders would own at IPO stage, sounds like a lot to me.
Don't forget the extortion racket Google runs by advertising competitors on navigational queries. If you are a small business you are familiar with their mafiosa sales practices. They give new employees "google supremacy" training so their employees can engage in abusive practices without thinking twice. I have never met people as brainwashed as an Adwords account manager.

I have one friend who started calling her husband a Gouche after he got a job at google. Much better term than Noogler.

I'd also note that you appear to demand 100% alignment with your ethics from unions in return for your support ("think of any situation"), but are fine with being somewhat aligned with your employer.

You seem to already have chosen a tribal affiliation.
We support USB4 - which has similar performance as thunderbolt 3. Multiple display pipes + USB + PCIE tunneling. It also supports 40gbps of aggregate bandwidth per port.
Tigerlake also supports HBR3 with display compression - so you can run multiple 4k displays from a single port.
The trend seems to be that the long url is the actual webapp location whereas the contracted one is for the short url (ff.im vs friendfeed, google vs goo.gl)
Usually when I'm thinking about domain names I also weight in the marketability factor. Would the domain name potentially make a nice main logo as-is, or would it be kind of bland? In the case of cant and cannot.com, I think I would opt for cannot.com. I can just visualize it at the top of a webpage a little easier than I can with 'cant'. Plus, I think cannot, in this case, rolls off the tongue much easier.
I don't think focusing on a particular case is helpful, because what they're really talking about is the entire C++ type system. This could happen in any case where types are converted: calling functions, assigning variables...whether or not any printing or typedefs or chars are involved. You could see surprising behavior anywhere, and arguably in places where it is a lot harder to debug.

The "explicit" keyword for constructors addresses part of the problem, but not all of it. The real issue is one of programming style. Personally, I feel this is a case where C++ programmers should think more like C programmers, and not be offended by having to give functions different names, or otherwise making things more distinct when the behavior is totally different anyway.

If I have to call handleChar() and handleInt() with an "if" statement, instead of relying on one of the 12 overloads of handleAnything() to perform magic, I think that is fine because it will one day save me hours of debugging. Notice that printf("%c", c) has pretty damned clear behavior, and it requires someone to say the equally-clear printf("%d", (int)c) to get a number when they want a number; this might not be C++-like, but it's the right way to think about the problem.
I think LG came from a merger of Lucky and Goldstar. Goldstar used to make low quality products, I have never used a Lucky product. Then merged and rebranded under LG.

In my case, I used a Mac LC as the 800k floppy <-> SCSI interface, because I already had one in the collection. It's more bulky than the FluxEngine adaptor though!

The full route from Internet to Mac SE 800k floppies was: WiFi -> MacBook Pro 2014 -> USB-PATA hard drive -> PowerBook G3 Wallstreet (screwdrivers) -> SCSI HDI-30 to DB-25 adaptor -> SCSI hard drive -> Mac LC -> 800k floppy -> Mac SE.

The SCSI drive had to be formatted Mac OS Standard (HFS) not Mac OS Extended (HFS+) if I remember right. Copying data each way took half an hour, so the FluxEngine would be a lot smaller and quicker.
I eagerly await the day all these display standards problems go away. I can throw away the large box of miscellaneous USB-C, DisplayPort, HDMI and adapter dongles I have and might grow some hair back. Just yesterday I was arguing with something that had a USB-C to HDMI which didn’t support 60Hz on one monitor but was fine on another. Grr.

> Social mobility in the US is one of the highest it has ever been in history

No, social mobility in the US has actually decreased fairly significantly in the last 50 years, and is much lower than other countries. That the US is somehow highly socially mobile is an enduring myth engrained in our collective psyche that is utterly wrong at this point.

It took me less than a minute to google "social mobility in the US today" (non-leading query) to find the following examples with data (and there are many more from other respectful sources):

> for most the time of the Desktop computer has passed
Might I respectfully disagree? Whenever I walk into a business, especially a larger one with open floor offices (and I admit, it has been a while, for obvious reasons), I see exactly one thing: Rows of desktop PCs (incl. laptop). Not tablets. Not smartphones. Desktop PCs (whether they run VDI or aren't much bigger than a CD case is immaterial). I'd strongly argue that most productive work on an electronic device is still performed at desktops (or laptops, which in this case are the same thing).

I get that when it comes to consumers, mobile is king and all that. That might be true. But for businesses, the choice of developing an internal tool web-based rather than cranking it out in Delphi and copying the exe on a network share, is simply down to the availability of developers. Not many decision-makers today still know about Delphi as a viable alternative (even for web and mobile development btw!) and when you can get much more developers at reasonable rates for React projects and don't have to fork over thousands to an unsympathetic company called Idera, well, it's almost a no-brainer.

But I'd still argue that you can get more done in an afternoon with Delphi than with Vue if you start with a blank slate - and at a fraction of keystrokes, too! ;-) ~> change my mind :-)

As for pirating[1], it's a surprise to see so much support for it on HN. I expect it on digg or even Reddit, which have a different (i.e., younger, less industrially focused, more accustomed to p2p and open source) demographic. However, I thought most of us here earned our living through the creation of intellectual property, which we monetize or hope to monetize in a number of ways.

Films are very much like software startups. One or two people come up with the idea for a movie, get seed funding, refine until they have a "prototype" or "demo" (script/storyboards/etc.), build a project plan[2], maybe go for another round of funding and then cast, shoot, and edit the film into an MVP. Then they flog it at film festivals or wherever they can with the hope that someone with access to a major distribution channel sees it. That 'evil conglomerate', much like a VC in taking on a lot of risk, can promote it and get it out to enough theaters or DVDs to make back everyone's investment. In some cases, the success metric is getting enough credibility to ease the funding and casting parts of their next film.

These are geeks just like most of us–they have a dream that requires a lot of work, expense, and networking to get sales, and it's even higher-risk than software, with a smaller overall pool of cash turnover.

Yes, there's the issue with the middleman, but that's something that will have to be disrupted. It's not going to happen by ripping off the auteurs.

First started programming in my freshman year of college, which was about 6 years ago. Took to it pretty well, really enjoyed it, and it remained my major for the duration of my time at school. To this day I'm not sure why I chose to apply as a computer science major, but I'm keenly aware of why I continued to do it: it's fun!
I think you mean Comical Ali (former Iraqi Information Minister) rather than Chemical Ali (former director of the Iraqi Intelligence Service).
Your human-centric arguments are very weak, as I'll detail below.

The more practical danger is one of dehumanization. If there is a legal (not scientific) line that you can neatly draw between human (suffering counts) and non-human (suffering doesn't count), then there will always be pressure to classify undesirables as non-human. This is always there in the background, and if we enable it, humans get abused. So, there is some practical value in being over-protective of creatures even if we don't think they're fully people.

Yes, we as a society should figure out what level of suffering we're okay with inflicting to pursue certain goals. It's perfectly legitimate for people to hold the opinion that the right answer is "none".

> Misery is electrons flying in the brain.

This is irrelevant and dismissive. It does not distinguish between human and non-human misery, unless you believe in some magical human sauce.

> Animal is a mechanism.

This is not a convincing argument. In my life and studies, I've yet to see a convincing reason why humans are not also mechanisms (assuming a broad enough definition that includes mammals). In other words, humans and mammals are much closer on the mechanism-complexity-spectrum than say rats and mechanical watches.

I would not empathize with a single ant's suffering (if it even can), but I would empathize with a dog's suffering.

> Canidae in nature have no problem with killing or inflicting suffering btw.

True, but we hold ourselves to a more restrictive standard.

> Would you empathize with a computer program simulating pain model

Your use of the word "simulating" pre-supposes the conclusion. This is a more problematic case. Part of suffering, I think, is the inability to control the response. I.e. if all humans had the bio-machinery to turn off pain or worry, then it changes the equation. I assume that any computer program that's sufficiently complicated to convince us it's a general AI would also be able to rewrite itself to remove suffering (except by choice). That said, maybe its esoteric and abstract concerns relating to ensuring its survival could cause it suffering.
Firefox's, certainly. It would be good if you reported it on Bugzilla.
It turns out you're half right. I knew congressmen didn't have to undergo security clearances. But it turns out that starting in the 104th congress (1997-1999), they are required to swear a secrecy oath.

I still think the oath to the constitution is far more important to the integrity of our country, but I was wrong that they swore no other oath.
>there is no reasonable way in which Schedule 7 could have been legally used for this purpose.

And yet it was used, for neither "reasonable" nor "legally" have any objective meaning. Both are convenient fictions to allow otherwise objectionable acts to gain the imprimatur of legitimacy.
And what when your own server hosting repos is down ?

The problem is not having a third-party host, it's having no redundancy.

We use this, in our capistrano tasks :

set :repository, ( ENV[ 'FALLBACK' ] ? fallback_url : github_url )

If github is down, we just push on that secondary repos (which is indeed on one of our servers) and just process business as usual.
So, is it good or not? :D

I did flag it. I'm aware of the idea that people are supposed to upvote things that have something interesting in them. However, lately, it has been remarked elsewhere by people who are not me that politics have crept into the discussion well beyond the threshold of intellectual curiosity, and this was to me a flagrant example of something that in no way piqued anyone's intellectual curiosity, but instead triggered political feelings.

Things that are there for the purpose of intellectual intrigue do not have rallying cries for redistribution in bold as their first sentence, for example.

Also, I've observed the upvote vs. flag mechanism working for several years now. I agree that it does work in general. I posted this because I believe it is somewhat breaking down lately, in the form of political rallying cries reaching the front page.
The threats from this guy and sheer fraud was the worst part. The fact that the people at citibank didn't care was frustrating just to read, I cant imagine how it would have been to experience it.

Prompted from this article I googled this guy's site, and I gave his 800 phone number a call and gave him a piece of my mind. He is basically a hustling piece of trash.

Absolutely love your work, btw.

Not a huge fan of HLS for our customers even with libraries of tens of thousands of full length movies serving to iOS. Latency is the number one complaint. Meanwhile, to your point, we churn out video broadcasting sites for clients on RTMP.

EDIT:(We support server side PPM on RTSP, RTMP, and both Apple and Microsoft adaptive HTTP, from WMS, IIS Media Services, Wowza, DSS, and FMS. This makes us pretty familiar with the buffering approaches, and agree with you, Apple's is essentially broken. That said, the value of being able to leverage a more "commodity" HTTP infrastructure is huge.)

Been meaning to talk to you some time about x264 in the near real time mode. Drop me contact info to my user name at gmail?

Scott Adams is both a brand and a public figure, and it seems as though he got confused about which of those two things he went onto MeFi to defend. In retrospect, being identifiable and defending himself from the start held the potential to increase the reputation of both his brand and his personal identity. But not only did he botch the defense of his identity, he harmed his brand, then compounded the damage by his comments after revealing his identity.

From the nature of his comments, though, it doesn't seem likely he could have managed the finesse of a defense of both himself and his brand had he came out identifiable from the start. The best choice in his personal case may have been to ignore the criticism and if he really felt the need to respond to the barbs, respond from the bully pulpit of his media empire. You know, something like Catbert pointing at his bank statement and saying "Scoreboard!"
What surprised me more is that ChatRoulette was built by a single teenage boy.

> char *buffer = malloc(sizeof(char) * bufsize);

Please don't do this. sizeof(char) is always and everywhere 1.

More importantly, don't do:

<type> *buffer = malloc(n * sizeof(<type>));

which frequently leads to bugs of the form

<new_type> *buffer = malloc(n * sizeof(<old_type>));

Instead, use

<type> *buffer = malloc(n * sizeof(*buffer));

which will always keep both sides consistent.

The bottom line is I need to make sure my income is growing at a faster rate than CPI to purchase the things I want to. Whatever daycare/tuition/land/healthcare/taxes/retirement savings cost today, the official CPI figures have not come anywhere close to resembling the growth in prices for those in my adult life, and they comprise of basically all my spending.

The price of milk or flights is irrelevant to me when the houses I’m looking at purchase go up a few hundred thousand.

> Assume doodads are $1 today. If tomorrow money supply is doubled, they will be $2.

If you double every persons account, yes. If you do it through interest rates, you need to pay attention to the Cantillion Effect. The Cantillion Effect states that money flows from people who have it to things that those people want to buy.

If you give money to rich people who have already reached capped consumption, they won't then go out and buy more apples. They will choose to save it(as they know with an ever-growing money supply, if they save it in assets they will have more buying power when they choose to spend it), and therefore investments will rise in price while consumption goods will stay the same price.

This is exactly what the fed has done. The more wealth inequality there is, the less the fed has control over inflation.
