> Imagine HTC comes out with the Droid 2, heh.

Which is exactly what happened: the Droid 2 is the Droid Incredible, by HTC.
Live your life now, try to do the things that you want instead of waiting for the future to come. 35 May never come and you would waste a big part of your life. That doesn't mean don't plan for the future, but rather don't put much pressure of it.
That's what mathematics is for ... you just need the growth rate.

O(lg lg N) is a smaller growth rate than O(lg N).

Of course, for smaller datasets it doesn't matter.

In fact if you do sorting, for small datasets (that are mostly sorted) a bubble-sort is better than quick-sort, since it doesn't involve random disk accesses and it might even require fewer steps.

I would be curious if this method for searching would apply to sorting (e.g. sorting done in O(N lg lg N)) ... since I remember that sorting done with comparisons can't be better than O(N lg N) (the height of a binary search tree is lg N ... and I think the demonstration was based on that).

So to get back on-topic ... it really depends on the size of your data.
don't loose all your money, interactive brokers has paper accounts that let you fake-trade without consequence.
Besides python and a bit of html & css I know nothing else in that list. Thank you, nice to see I could have a chance of finding a job in a year or so. :)
Reminds me of those websites that force you to have a password that conforms to their overly-specific rules. Here is a real example:

Passwords must be 8 to 12 characters long composed of the following character types:

Uppercase Alpha (A, B, C, etc.)
Lowercase Alpha (a, b, c, etc.)
Numeric (1, 2, 3, etc.) or the following Special Characters (!, @, #, $,*, +,-)
Each password must contain UPPERCASE AND LOWERCASE ALPHA CHARACTERS, and at least one character that is either a Numeric or a Special Character.

So if your password is 13 characters long, it doesn't work. Or if it has letters, numbers and punctuation but no uppercase letters, it doesn't work.
London UK - youDevise, a small financial-software firm committed to learning and improvement as well as great web software, is hiring developers and other smart folks of many kinds. See https://dev.youdevise.com and http://www.youdevise.com/careers. No remote working, but we will assist with relocation for the right person.
> (Motorola licensed it.)

Actually, Verizon did. Which is why their top mobile lines (Eris, Incredible, initial Droid) are all called Droid, the Droid is called Milestone in Europe.
Yes, this is what we meant. It does sound a bit weird though, we'll consider changing the wording. Thanks!

> Isn't this medication decades old?

What has age got to do with it? Aspirin is decades old and still kills people. You need to stick to the recommended dosage and only take non-OTC drugs on the advice of a doctor.
AWS support tended to be very sharp, understand the situation and workflow holistically, and occasionally provide additional information (i.e. they could understand what, as the customer, I _needed to know to resolve my issue_ rather than only answering _exactly what I asked_). Like I said, 90% or more of AWS support asks required no follow ups. Not the case for GCP.

GCP support tended to give more generic or vague answers, or would simply "unblock you to the next blocker". As a support expert, you'd hope they understood the workflows, didn't seem to be the case. Google searches seem to indicate this isn't too uncommon amongst cloud platform users. GCP is the technically most sophisticated product, but my experience as a user was stability was far more comforting when fires broke out, as they will for any cloud vendor.

As an aside, I once experienced a G Suite "circular lockout" issue where I had to request permissions from myself. I spent hours agonizing over fixing it, and never actually heard back on that issue at all from the support team. I'm sure GCP and GSuite are independent support teams, though.

Note: I haven't used GCP in a bit over 12 months. Maybe things have changed since then, I don't know. But it certainly seemed that if you're a small company, they don't really care about you. I'd assume that GCP's large enterprise clients received excellent support.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. It definitely helps to fill my knowledge gaps due to limited travel outside the US.
It's an advantage for me, not for you. I've had experience with both and I prefer significant whitespace. The only place where I found it to be a problem was in Jade templates since HTML is kind of white-space sensitive (spaces between tags cause spaces in the output). I do like programming with significant whitespace.
nope , mine is Google Reader
i want to make a filter to help me do reading quickly
I'm curious...michael.schaecher@airbnb.com
Yes, but only at work.
It works out quite well actually, when work is over, I am pretty sick of HN, so it isn't quite as appealing a distraction at home as it is at work.
Yes, very Quirky. "Do what you want - not what you're told".
These things are most useful for research via numerical simulation. The uses that would come closest to aiding for-profit endeavors would probably be various simulations of systems still in the design-phase. For example, simulation of a car crash, simulation of aerodynamics of an automobile or airplane, simulation of the fluid dynamics of a jet engine, simulation of hydrodynamics of a new super-tanker design, etc.

Such simulations are fairly common today, although generally super-computers of this magnitude aren't needed for them.
Could a resident lawyer explain the full effect of this bill?

Text of the bill:

SECTION 1. NO IMMUNITY FOR CERTAIN AIRPORT SCREENING METHODS.

No law of the United States shall be construed to confer any immunity for a Federal employee or agency or any individual or entity that receives Federal funds, who subjects an individual to any physical contact (including contact with any clothing the individual is wearing), x-rays, or millimeter waves, or aids in the creation of or views a representation of any part of a individual's body covered by clothing as a condition for such individual to be in an airport or to fly in an aircraft. The preceding sentence shall apply even if the individual or the individual's parent, guardian, or any other individual gives consent.
Reason I quit using Facebook.
From a freelancer's perspective, I would be the only one working on a project for a industry I choose [as you had suggested].

Wouldn't this require some form of prior experience in that industry?

Just wanted to know whether we do need prior experience in a specific industry.
Are you a current student?
It didn't seem off-topic to me. The fellow he replied to stated he wanted free and independent journalism and the thesis of his reply seemed to me that free and independent journalism would cause confusion to the "great masses of people" and instead a simple narrative would be more effective instead of letting them decide for themselves who's right and who's wrong.

I don't agree with him and he could have perhaps left some bits out of his comment but I don't think it deserves downvotes and to be greyed out.
That's it guys, case solved. This guy doubts it. :P
BUT they can't catch EVERY disposable email being the most effective one to register your own .tk domain and proxy it to a disposable mail server ;)
wtbob's comment being downvoted is kind of proof in itself.
They are hardly the first companies to play regulatory chicken. It pays off nicely if you win; I do wish that sophisticated investors and managers who make a bad bet would whine less.
You need a way to generally enforce an appropriate effort to security. This seems extremely important. I don't see liability, after-the-fact-punishment, only with software vendors, being the way to achieve this.

Numerous threads on HN lately have discussed the way that "connect everything to everything" approaches wind-up inherently insecure and a wide range of organizations have no incentive to stop them. Water systems have no need to connect to the Internet even indirectly and neither automobile remote start system but organization managing these things have no incentive to take this stuff seriously.

This is what's called an "externality" and a difficult one. Externalities are generally best dealt with be direct regulation but security is a bit different externalities because defining best practicing isn't. I could imagine a "security institute", only focused on defense and independent enough to be trustworthy to most institutions. But I'm not all that optimistic such a thing could be created.
Local-first software feels underrated especially in the UX realm. Peer-to-peer applications such as Manyverse load instantly due to not being blocked by network requests.
My hope is that more apps are developed with a local-first mindset. CRDTs likely introduce additional complexity around data storage, so this would certainly be a drawback when considering local-first.
There are tons of services I would use if I could get them for well below cost.
I know it is more of a disengagement strategy, but with Twitter in it's current state ...
That famous Marxist, Putin.
Very empathetic and solid writing. Here's my generalized experience https://blog.alexrohde.com/archives/703
I believe that is wasn't unheard of in England for relatives of a condemned person to pay off the hangman to either (a) make sure the death went well (ie, they were killed by their neck being broken instead of strangulation) or (b) to cut them down early so they would survive.
Agree that efficient development (regardless of IDE/editor) is done best using primarily keyboard.

Also agree that detached keyboards and mice will almost always be superior to their on-board counterparts.

But, I think we're being a wee bit cognitively dissonant if we tell ourselves notebook keyboards and trackpads don't receive a non-trivial amount of use--even from the best of us.

Even more, why are keyboard and external-mouse purists even bothered with even owning a laptop if they rarely/ever intend to use the most major distinguishing features that separate them from desktops in the first place?

But even if you don't agree with any of that, why shouldn't we still demand a damn-good version of a highly ubiquitous tool, even if we don't personally use it that often? (Especially since Apple has proven that it's possible.) On HN (and the rest of the dev community) are perhaps the most demanding critics of anything technology. "Server starts up 8% slower!--dogshit!" "New release consumes 5% more memory--are you kidding me!" "Battery lasts 25m shorter--I'm in tears!" "The new theme is highly disruptive to my workflow--OH THE HUMANITY."

I'm not being critical of our being sticklers. We should be! That's our job! Our fellow devs care about quality; our users care about quality. We should care about what our users care about. We have the voices and power to advocate for good products for all that use technology. The trackpad will be a major way people interact with computers for a long time to come and I'm not prepared to hand-wave away the mediocre.
> "The status of the 501c3 is lost because we (me) failed to file the 3 past years' tax returns on time. Note that we've Never filed returns since our first re-organization to the LLC in 2005. I was taken by surprize that the IRS hit us so rudely. I've had little issues with my own returns and have always found them to be reasonable and friendly."

I'm not an accountant, so I can't make a definitive statement, but this sounds like really poor accounting to me. Maybe that's too specific. It sounds like really poor management of responsibility and time in general. If you're not going to do the work, you should at least tell the person you are responsible to so they can replace you.

If I were his manager and I heard about this, I'd be double checking his work for quite some time to make sure he wasn't under-performing his role at his actual job too.
How about number 1: Give the interviewed person a working pen.

No, I'm not making this up, sadly :(
"Huge" in context, sure, but compared to the rest of the world? 2,000 inhabitants is impressive and all, but that solution couldn't possibly scale to 10 million.
"Did you grow .NET into the most widely adopted application development platform in the world?"

They already had the most widely adopted platform in Win32. The transition to .NET was horrible. No one was sure what .NET actually meant for a while, as it was used in marketing for all kinds of things. They also seemed to change their minds every few months about how which platform people should use. Finally it converged, and .NET is not bad. But they already owned the desktop app OS and dev platform since the mid 90s, when they overtook Borland and others.
All they had to do was get mobile right. To do that, all they needed was one manager who kept an eye on the state of capacitive touchscreen development and moved to lock it down before his/her counterpart at Apple did the same thing.

The iPhone could have been theirs all along, with all that that implies. But first they ignored the underlying technology, then Ballmer laughed at it (on national TV no less), then they fought it, and then they lost.

Ballmer will not be missed.
One time this guy e-mailed them and then had to give up what ended being millions of dollars worth of his company, that's not the sign of people who are trustworthy.
So, jay-walkers in non-reflective clothing, at night?
The issue with physics isn't that they're hand-wavy, it's that they teach their students demonstrably false things. Such as, an infinite point-impulse is a function with integral 1, and the sum of all positive integers is -1/12, and other such nonsense about "convergent" sequences. They balk at the nuance of mathematics when it actually matters to us.
I get what you are saying and don't know how you would change your feelings, but I know a number of years ago I read a book (can't recall now which one) on being a successful entrepreneur. The key takeaway I had from that read was to ignore what others are doing because their success or failure has no relation to what you are capable of.

That said, the book also pointed out that you shouldn't ignore others success or failure, but instead use it to learn from, i.e. it isn't about the person it is about how they failed or succeeded. IMO, using another person as your measuring stick of success/failure is limiting you to their lows and highs, instead measure yourself to the goals you set, and if you are failing there be critical and fix it, but if you are winning you are golden regardless of what Jill, Jack or Danny did.

You have already done something that a very small percentage of people ever do, regardless of how it looks from the inside of the tech industry. You made a team of people believe in your idea, help you fund your idea and think it has enough merit to potentially have a great outcome. That is awesome.

BTW -- Self promotion is the hardest thing for many (if not most) intelligent, honest people to do, but what I have learned is that if you are not telling people who you are they will make assumptions and draw conclusions on their own and very likely those assumptions and conclusions will be half-truths, hearsay or made up and likely not in your favor. For whatever reason our society loves to scream negatively much louder than positively, don't let that be your fate by not being your own best advocate. Of course, balance & moderation in everything seems prudent.
Is something which can be attributed to something akin to a market correction? Or is Bitcoin still incredibly this volatile?
Think you could make one without the heavy equalizer changes? It's hard to compare apples to apples :\
AVX on Intel can have unobvious performance degradation: a single AVX512 instruction runs at ¼ speed[1] until the core downclocks, and it stays downclocked for 2ms (severely affecting mixed loads). The downclock apparently takes 500us[2] (edit: fact check? This seems unbelievable), and the CPU is idle until it restabilises.

If AMD have made different choices about AVX implementation, then benchmarking becomes difficult.

Intel benchmarks for sustained AVX512 load (HPC measuring contests) cannot be used to extrapolate for normal mixed loads (single or or short bursts of AVX512 instructions).

Edit: are there better links on the true costs of AVX512?

^^ which is kinda my point and also arguably reasons for shit like Brexit. If we, the intelligentsia make "no subsidies" arguments for taking away well paying jobs for the working classes while allowing other (lobbied) industries to accept subsidies then we're making ourselves complicit in the hypocrisy.

Same thing with Blue Bossa. The syncopation in the original is completely missing in the Real Book chart, and now every high school jazz musician learns it the Real Book way and runs it into the ground.
I use Nomad for this after 2 years Kubernetes and it has been a revelation that things shouldn't be complicated. Won't change back again.
I assume the UK, since the location is given as Birmingham Airport and it's a British-registered plane.
That's exactly it. NARA is trying to figure out how to do that. They don't have an existing plan in place for making tweets public.

So they asked Twitter to do it. Twitter said no. NARA said that's fine, they'll figure it out.

TFA actually quotes NARA saying that. “Twitter is solely responsible for the decision of what content is available on their platform." It's just the headline that makes it seem like there's a conflict here.

I'm not sure why NARA even bothered to ask. It might be interesting to know. I suspect it has to do with making the presentation of the records as true-to-life as possible, the same way an archaeologist wants to preserve as much of the context of a dig as they can (and not just loot up a bunch of artifacts).

Twitter doesn't wanna do that, understandably. So NARA will have to figure something else out. But it didn't hurt to ask.
Wait one more release cycle. This is how they remove things.
I wonder what a "Dr" weighs in this system.
With the immoral practices of most credit card companies once you're in such deep debt, defaulting almost seems more than fair.

Morals work two ways.
Bad timing for an announcement considering the (IMO valid) concerns about Stadia's lifetime.
Even my currently supported device (Moto x4) is vulnerable because it hasn't received the October 6 patch. It's more than halfway through November, and I'm still on the October 1st patch. The vendor patching system is pretty terrible with Android and ends up leaving many devices vulnerable to publicly known exploits most of the time.
You can have anything you want with macros :)

I just wrote a macro `array` [1] that allows you to write

#[no_mangle]
static keymaps: array!{ u16[1, 2, 3] } = [
[
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
],
];

or alternatively using a type alias

type Keymaps = array!{ u16[1, 2, 3] };

#[no_mangle]
static keymaps: Keymaps = ...

On a more serious note, in general Rust favors explicit simple syntax: the only syntax related to arrays you need to learn is `[TYPE; LENGTH]` which is the way to write an array of type TYPE and length LENGTH, pretty straightforward. `[[[usize; 3]; 2]; 1]` is simply a composition of such arrays, as multidimensional arrays are just arrays of arrays.

C has a few more variants: the implicit length of `keymaps[]`, the `[0] = ...` initializer , the alternative `keymaps[1,2,3]` syntax. This is nice syntactic sugar, but you don't technically need it. Although if you really don't like the raw Rust syntax, you can always use macros like shown or a library like multiarray [2].

In a way I would say this makes Rust easier to learn: there are only a few symbols and patterns you need to learn to recognize, and the rest is compositions.

[1] WARNING: macro definitions are very symbol heavy, and thus even more unreadable.

Gotta stay in the three-comma club.
That doesn't make sense. A carbon tax works because it makes more carbon-intensive activities/goods relatively more expensive compared with less carbon-intensive activities/goods, so you're giving people a financial incentive to use less of it.
And as long as too many people aren't using it over the core product, they'll allow it to exist.
Worse, many reviews were not about the product, but around Apple design decisions. Yes, I know everybody hates only having USB-C ports, but does this USB-C to xyx thingy work?

The worst about the Q&A section is seeing that your bug has been around since the Big Cat years and there is still no fix or answers, just a few thousand "I also have this issue"
Update:

Three different people from Cloudflare reached out to resolve the problem. They are awesome!
That's what it seems like. Reading this article on the topic https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/earliest-south-ameri... and it says:

"One unanswered question is why the Y signal hasn’t turned up in any North or Central American Indigenous groups. One possibility, Hünemeier suggests, is that the Y signal–bearing migrants simply stuck to the coast and made it to South America without leaving any genetic legacy up north"

Ok. But how about "Or they arrived on the shores of South America by boat" ? I don't understand why that hypothesis seems to be avoided? It seems much more credible than "the people with that particular genetic legacy hugged the coast all the way down to So America and didn't mix with any other groups along the way."
