>I ruled out SMT since it's intended for a DIY kit and most people don't feel comfortable soldering SMT

this is superstition and education issue, not technological one, SMD is EASIER, faster to solder, and cheaper.

People are scared because they have soldering iron and know only soldering iron. Show them hot plate or hot air gun. I dont buy "but they already bought soldering gun, they would have to buy next tool" arguments. Its like peddling wooden car frames, because people have glue already. Soldering with hotair is easier to learn, faster to master, and more versatile.
If they support a keyboard and mouse via USB then wouldn't supplying power to 2 USB ports be an issue? Assuming the stick itself gets its power from HDMI.
Quite expensive, given that you can pick up a cheap Chinese tablet with a screen, HDMI out, micro SD slot etc. for around the same price.
You're right, those are the only thing I do use, where appropriate.

If you just avoid all the enterprisey crap, Java is a very nice place to be.
"All the clever, driven people are busy running startups."

I know a few engineers, academic scientists, lawyers, medics and people in the armed forces who meet both of those criteria to a level at least equaled by any start-up founder I have ever met.
This makes me want to look at serial numbers for all my stuff.
Has anyone else noticed this on sites that they routinely visit, as the page load is slower and sometimes comes to a crawl with the Open Graph protocol installed?
I agree, but that's generally true of hardware companies. Intel's software (other than their compiler) is terrible. I wish hardware companies would just agree on a standard and let the software companies (Apple, Microsoft, etc.) handle synchronization.

Yes, I know it is isn't as easy as that, but it would have to be better than the ghetto that is hardware company-supplied software.
You have a good point, there. Everyone is talking about what will dethrone FB, but we tend to forget there 600M people who love FB. Just as Microsoft, and Google, FB is here to stay, for a very very long time.
That i did not know, very interesting, maybe worth learning more about Mojolicious after all. :)
Many people use tabs as a task queue. Particularly for sites like HN: someone sees several interesting things but doesn't have time for it right now - he opens it in a tab.

Just because tabs were meant for something else doesn't mean they shouldn't be used for this. If people use tabs this way, then by all means provide a feature to make it work better for this use.

I should point out that there really isn't anything good for this task other than tabs. You might say bookmarks, I say no. Until bookmarks (or some other feature) have a way to separate permanent bookmarks (like a site you frequently reference) from a temorary one (like the article you want to get back to soon) as well as the ability to very quickly remove the bookmark once you're done with it, tabs (or windows for those that have competent window managers) are the best solution right now.
I've noticed the same thing. While I understand the need to limit liability, I'm not happy about the bait and switch. I'm sure it doesn't build the goodwill that they were hoping for...
IMHO every automated test helps.

Don't aim for 100% test coverage aim at using unit tests to develop faster and more efficiently and the test coverage stats will come automatically.

I personally need to improve my TDD, but I am quite happy with my test driven bug fixing approach. When working on a bug I first turn it into a JUnit or selenium test, and then fix the bug and make the test pass.
Just as a little fun fact Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongola is the coldest capital city in the world. Right now Accuweather says it's -18°F (0°C). It regularly dips below -40°F/C in the winter.
To anyone thinking of enumerating the customer IDs to play with this, be very careful as it's illegal in the USA. That is exactly what weev was arrested and convicted for.
Thanks. I had also cast malloc() but didn't think to just comment out free().

So I'm seeing similar results as you. Your iterative implementation is about 3x faster than the author's, but still not as fast as the recursive version. I'm surprised!
I think that the standard rationalization is that waiters and taxi drivers provide a subjective service. A good waiter will refill your drinks often, make sure you have everything you need, etc. A good taxi drive will get you someplace faster than a bad one, will know shortcuts and longcuts, and understands patterns of traffic to avoid them. A plumber, on the other hand, typically performs a pretty objective job, short of outright incompetence.

But yes, it's confusing, and it's probably a pretty bad deal for everyone involved.
So use Tor from someplace that won't be able to tell that you were one of a few people accessing Tor at that moment. Just go to a coffee shop or something.
Covering doesn’t mean letting him speak directly to the public. CNN also let him speak live after the election, but when he started speaking nonsense they interrupted the feed.

What’s happening this week isn’t new, it’s been happening for years.
Another complication with RA and AS will be the number of linked autoantigens involved. Both RA and AS likely will benefit from collagen II autoantigens but also appear to be triggered by a bunch of other autoantigens as well. Still mRNA should cope with that case better than current methods too! It’s easy to print lots of different antigens in one go.

It this was a good idea then multimedia CDs would have beaten the web in the mid 90s (instead of the other way around as it turned out).
Exactly! The main idea is to prevent the customer to easily compare features, especially with the offerings of other manufacturers, which would force the company to compete with lower prices, which is obviously undesirable. So it's really intentional in different businesses and there's a word for it, even if it's formulated by a cartoonist:

How does that work out in terms of the amount of time you have to spend vs the probability of having your luggage lost?

Also, don't you think it's a bit unethical? Applying the "what if everyone did this?" rule it seems to come across pretty badly.
In addition, Basho also released their own benchmarking tool which is quite impressive in it's own right.

The Sony Vaio Z series is a freaking awesome device. A friend got one recently and it's making me rethink getting another mac for my next laptop:

http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryD...

Core i7, 8 gigs of ram, I think he's got THREE SSD drives in Raid 0 in there ( I know you can buy outright with a 2 ssd raid 0 config but I found an engadget article referencing QUAD ssd - http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/sony-vaio-z-brings-quad-s...). It's a 13" machine and weighs 3 pounds.

It doesn't run Mac OS but I find myself needing Linux more often these days than Mac. It's hard to say no to a beautiful piece of hardware like that.

To be fair though - nothing beats walking into the Apple Store when my macbook breaks and having them do an overnight repair.
Re: Confidence - fake it 'til you make it.

I started with getting phone numbers from women. Detach your self-presentation from your inner self and look on this as an acting exercise. Mentally model what you'd look like if you got phone numbers from attractive women all the time. Look at scenes in movies with characters you like. Practice what you come up with on attractive women. Change your presentation a bit and observe the results.

Done correctly, this process results in a lot of phone numbers. By itself, it won't get you laid a whole lot. However, it can give you a framework for practicing a confident presentation in a context where you are faking it. Also, this happens in front of somebody who already knows they have something you want.
You can't out-Apple Apple.

It's been tried many times. No personal computer company besides Apple has succeeded at selling a lifestyle like they do. That's what product names like that are for--describing the sort of person a product is intended for. Since non-Apple laptop manufacturers don't aim their products at specific enviable lifestyles and instead try to market to everyone, they don't use names like that and instead opt for nondescript numbers.
It is especially infuriating in the grocery store when they "go to the trouble" of adding conversion information to the shelf label but then aren't consistent with the units on similar products. Thanks HEB, since you did the math I know that this juice is $0.03/oz. and that juice is $0.79/liter. That helps alot.
I didn't understand. Can anyone help me out? What is that?
Fidelity is largest stock holder of GME.
In a situation like this, where it's obvious that the law has to change, I become more interested in the systems of people that are misaligned to make the confusion worse.

It looks to me that if you are an undercover policeman, you cannot participate in any police work aside from your undercover duties. Likewise, if you have ever been a "public" officer, you then can't cross over and become an undercover agent -- not with facial recognition software. There are also considerations for domestic violence, juvenile, and rape cases. No longer can you meet or converse with victims in any sort of public forum (interesting question: can victims of crime also tape their own interviews? How about suspects?)

All of this means we have a bunch of retraining and re-organizing to do of the national police force. This is going to be a major change and effects everything from seniority to career tracks, manpower needs, and court appearances. Just guessing, I'm betting that it adds a lot more cops than we had before. Not sure who is going to pay for those cops or if, in the end, we don't end up in a worse spot from where we started.

Having said that, because of the severity and broad scale of the problem, this will probably end up being settled at the national level. Probably after some crisis occurs. Wonder what that crisis would be?

I'd also note that it is the edge cases that are driving the change. There are probably dozens of cops taped everyday without incident. And probably dozens that illegally prevent taping. We just don't know. The only things we know are those things which are publicized effectively.

The point being that it's easy to think in terms of what the perfect world is or should be. The interesting part comes when real people and systems are bounced up against necessary changes.
Wouldn't a much better way to do this be to set up a random e-mail (e.g. wofydfino67okfuyw@pistats.io) that you can then send you receipts to?

You could either do it all at once or with a forward, and it would mean that people that don't use Gmail could do it too.
Is maven old now....oh uh...gotta get with the cool kids
Nicotine gum works, too, without the harm of smoking
Ideologues of every flavor say that - they just swap in $hated-object to complain about. The irony is how isomorphic all these enemies are.

Plenty of examples at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870, and there are a lot more where those came from.
I think the financial interest is connected to moral interest.
When you are on salary, you don't get paid to write code during all the time you are working. I can think about a problem for 6 hours and work 2 hours and fully deliver what the company expects from me.
My phone number is in haveibeenpowned. Maybe it's from another leak? I deleted my Facebook account years ago and it doesn't have my new number. WhatsApp does.
> even though bodybuilding as a community is perceived and perceives itself as being driven by scientific research, it is still almost completely anecdote driven,

Well I mean, it IS driven by scientific research, just not research into exercise physiology as much as organic chemistry
I really wasn't trying to, I'm not interested in flaming - I just don't like being attacked.
Chuckling to myself.
Bitcoin can be used for secure timestamping and mutual funds locking without third parties. These are non-monetary features that Bitcoin provides. So it has some of them, just like gold.
Obviously, that lookup table is not the only problem with abolishing time zones, the giant problem is forcing billions of people to change their notion of when "9 to 5" happens, as well as every other activity that is pinned to a specific time through custom, culture, and language.
Cool idea. Not enough people seem aware of executable packers like UPX http://upx.sourceforge.net/ though.

These are excellent tools to keep the size down when using large static binaries. By compressing the file on disk and decompressing in memory you often wind up with a smaller and sometimes even faster loading (depending on disk IO speed vs decompression speed) package. I got a static Qt binary from 4 MB down to 1.3 with upx --lzma. Very nice stuff.
> I'm not sure how it would relate to "diplomacy, politics, finance and everyday life."

Spinning narratives that reinforce what people want to believe has been a time-honored tradition since the beginning of humanity. It's deeply relevant to those domains and more.

> Magicians are the only one where success is hiding your skill.

Magicians are one of the few crafts where hiding skill is mandatory (perhaps barring meta-showmen like Penn & Teller).

But this pattern too shows up many other places. Comedians have to conceal the performative nature of their act, making it seem like the 874th iteration of a joke is something they just thought of extemporaneously. Actors aren't eager to share the mundane grind of their method(s), so as not to break the illusion. (For instance: Tom Hanks sometimes does math problems in his head for certain types of reaction shots.) Or consider the politician backed by the talented speechwriters and research team, who you'll never meet or even hear mentioned.

In a sense, stage/street magic is a subset of a game that all humans play: perception management (with varying degrees of honesty). Being more aware of this process and how our buttons are being pushed is something that would help us all.
From the comments at the site: the truth is weirder
They don't have Darwin Awards for animals, but maybe they should start. It's hard to be sure because it's a short clip, but that moose seemed to be very nonchalant about what it was doing.

Maybe it's just that if they grow up next to a constant stream of moving cars (that have never hurt them before) they simply become inured to all the activity.
I'm confused. You don't have issues with compensation because you were compensated such that you no longer need compensation. Therefore other people shouldn't expect compensation?
It took me a good 15 years before I started using Emacs a few months ago.

What made it work was (a) learning how to tweak the configuration to suit me, (b) learning Emacs jargon equivalents (chiefly: selection => region, cursor => point, open => find, file => buffer, pane => window) and (c) already knowing enough lisp to be able to tweak configuration further than simple variables and modes.

Then what really made it work was finding out about package repositories.

Emacs, when I first started out, didn't understand the arrow keys properly on my terminal, and required you to learn all the C-n, C-p, C-f, C-b etc. to move around. It also didn't have transient mark mode. But it can do all these things now (although I still have terminal configuration files to map function keys in Cygwin, Rxvt etc. because I mostly work in the terminal), all it really took was a Sunday afternoon researching settings, key bindings and modes, before it was almost as usable as any GUI editor.

Emacs is awesome. I'm sorry I didn't learn it sooner. I've gone through several generations of IDEs and programmer's editors that have come and gone in the past 20+ years. I could have been using Emacs all that time and increasing my knowledge and library.

It is, however, still weak with languages that heavily rely on IDE support, like Java and C#. emacs-eclim and other hacks aren't quite enough to make up for it. Although I still have an emacs session open on every Eclipse project because helm-git-grep is way too good to not use; and also it's better for certain text editing. I had a big aha moment when I found out that M-/ also works in Eclipse!
One interesting thing about einstein is that he learned in physics class how to visualize himself as objects undergoing physical processes to get better understanding of the physics. And that is exactly the method he used to reach his discoveries.

So i wonder - can shift technical education to be more conceptual and visual, while using computers to help us with the math ,to the level of creating useful ,innovative engineers?
Actually that was a USA only phenomenon, I never saw Chromebooks live in Europe.

Here in Germany, some chain stores do have a few of them at their little corner being ignored by everyone.
HP Stream comes pretty close (I think they are better than the Chromebooks though a bit pricier) -- http://store.hp.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ContentView?eS...
A few years ago I had the pleasure of hearing Ellen and John play some folk-country songs. They are quite talented musicians!
Lightning is a joke. A really bad one that keeps dragging on.

Yes, but I think a lot of people are worried about the kind of radicalization that blames everything on intellectuals, foreigners, minorities and women.
This is fascinating but (as an artist, not a propagandist) also somewhat depressing; the ability to just churn out endless examples of what-something-looks-like using GANs is in stark contrast to the time commitment required to explore the aesthetic possibilities of various media or techniques and kind of kills the motivation for doing so.
See my other post on this thread. There's a Zen2/Rome/Ryzen 3xxx optimized compiler, lapback/blas, libm (math), random number generations, and others available.
Well this pulls no punches:

> Conservative donor gatherings are somehow even more pathetic. Most of the attendees are there only because they are not smart enough to recognize that the Democratic Party offers a far more effective reputation laundering service. The rest are probably too senile to know where they are at all. There is often a special irony to these events: an uninspiring ideologue is usually on hand to repeat a decades-old speech decrying Communism—recounting the horrors experienced in countries ruled by a self-dealing, incompetent nomen­klatura and marked by a decaying industrial base, crumbling infrastructure, poor education system, a demoralized populace, low confi­dence in public institutions, falling life expectancy, repeated foreign policy failures, a vast and arbitrary carceral system, constant surveillance, and even massive power outages in major cities. Imagine that.
Not much actually. There is a huge problem with EDA where only established tools can be used. Where Free tools are available, its hard to get PDKs from the foundrys unless you are part of a university or a firm. The free tools lack some important features to make them robust ( like a good parasitic checker) etc.

There are several groups trying to bring this awareness, for example FSIC is pretty interesting (https://wiki.f-si.org/index.php/FSiC2019)
Well it generated something
> The point of the OP was that he believes electronic money cannot benefit the unbanked.

Not really, if you read what you replied to it says that none of the unbanked have cards to buy it with, and that they don't need to be risking what little they have on "unregulated, complicated and easily stolen intangible financial assets which wealthy foreigners invented to print themselves money."

That doesn't describe M-Pesa, but it does describe cryptocurrency.
I have watched a few documentaries on this topic. I know it sends you spine chills even thinking about it, but many of the attacks are because the men go and gather honey and fish in the Tiger territory because they have almost exhausted them on their side.

I wonder many a times, we simply cannot co-exist to create an ecological balance with anything.

To quote Agent Smith in the movie Matrix:

"It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."
If you read business books for example, you don't have to memorize everything you read in them. If you retain the main idea of the book and perhaps a few examples where that idea has been applied, it's good enough.

But even that is not necessary with all the books you read, as long as the ideas in those books remain somewhere in your unconscious mind. Later, when you'll be faced with a business decision, you'll just "know" what the right decision is, without having to pinpoint where you've heard that before. If you can get at least that from the books, it should be good enough and valuable for you in the long term.
The people whose strawman you're attacking aren't likely to be reading HN, alas (it has "hacker" in the title!)

I suspect that the people getting in a moral outrage aren't doing so over "vanilla" sex. The LSE study quoted in the Times' article (UK Children Go Online, 2005) found that 31% of 9- to 19-year olds were using "violent or gruesome material."

I haven't expressed any judgments here, nor can I get as excited about it as you, but I contest it's not as simple as people who have a "problem with 14 year olds watching sex" - that's a strawman.
Because to pay one additional dollar to employees they also have to pay the government about one additional dollar in taxes.

In contrast, by paying one dollar more to non-profit charities they can pay one dollar less to the government (within limit).
I read this wondering why it's news. I'm certain this has been done numerous times before. Unfortunately I don't have any links to back that up.
A screen that intermittently reports the wrong location? Other than that, no idea. I just know that I've never had a problem with the wrong app launching, and it's not something I've heard anyone else complain about before today.
On 1)
There are parts of the stack that do some of the things you describe here. For example, on HTTP level there is ETAG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag and there is offline web app proposal http://www.w3.org/TR/offline-webapps/
They are used for different purposes and they work (whether they work well is a different matter), but in a way they can be used for "constant resources".
I don't really see how such mechanism can be used as a guarantee against sending a password in the clear.

On 2)
I would rather see someone work on solving the underlying problem, which in a nutshell is security. That's a hard problem and I don't really see it solved with iframes.

All that said, you are absolutely right: these are problems and should be worked on.
All of this is well and good, but has very little to do with a bullshit session with one's friends where everybody involved is having fun with an argument about something that is ultimately meaningless.
I would just put mine on all the time so nobody bothered me.
I've been loosely following ESNI/ECH drafts, and I am not sure this approach (double handshake) was ever seriously considered despite that it sounds perfectly fine to me. It'd make the handshake heavier, but on the other hand, it'd also make it much harder to distinguish from the regular TLS traffic. On the contrary, ESNI/ECH seems to be easy to detect and block, and some countries (China, for instance) have already announced that they're going to do that.
