Did they really put a page break in mid-sentence? I guess it would increase the odds of someone clicking through to the next page, but still, WTF.
Can you share what interviews are like for positions like data analysis or data visualization? Algorithm heavy? Will studying for a Google-style interview leave me adequately prepped?
Weird behavior on chrome 40 - beta.

Atlas: Convair and its successor interests (General Dynamics, Lockheed, ULA)

Saturn V:

Ariane: EADS Astrium and Arianespace/CNES (French Space Agency)

So, yeah, they've always been commercial, but they haven't always been commerically driven or (entirely) commercially managed.
How do you get an employee to leave a permanent position for your temporary position?
What will they use the money for? If they're not expanding, and are profitable (and so don't need to cover running costs), I can only guess at retiring founder debt.
Your argument is quite flawed; how most people treat their dogs would be considered illegal if they were people.
It's very common to send snippets directly in email. Here's an example https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/meteor-talk/IL-I1KBA...

Mixmax is a more general email "apps" platform, so expect to see many more "apps" like this on the way. Today you can send polls, Q&A surveys, tables, slideshows and more, directly in email.
Downloaded it, set it up, paid for backgrounding, tested walking away and coming back and it all worked perfectly. Went to go get lunch came back and wouldn't unlock, had to enter password manually. I then had to unpair my phone (from the desktop app) and re-pair to get it to work again. Hopefully the second time is a charm... Also the app asked me to pay again for "Pro" though didn't charge me...
They linked to the Anscombe's code, but I wish they also linked to the code that produced the rest of the analysis. Looks cool and I wish I could run it myself!
Yes! This has happened to every charger I've ever owned.
If I scroll up a bit, I see the reason is:

If that sort of thing interests you, also check out my language 'tab' (https://bitbucket.org/tkatchev/tab).

Tab is a statically-typed, functional, type-inferred language that occupies a niche between bash and python.

It's also not Turing-complete but can compute almost everything you could ever think of.

(I wish more languages aimed for Turing-incompleteness -- unsurprisingly, it turns out Turing-incomplete languages have big benefits for performance and resource management.)
> No, absolutely not. This is the same mistake the one laptop per child people made.

No absolutely not. The mistake the OLPC people made was trying to make people believe that throwing underpowered overdesigned overpriced laptops at kids would solve any problem other than providing employment to Nicky Negroponte and his gang.
I've said it before: RAID on the storage node shouldn't be assumed to be a good thing. With good enough inter-node replication and recovery, it's just another complication to go wrong.
Lols !
> Or if I provide a partial argument list, it should ask me to supply the rest of the args. Or maybe it should guess and do the right thing.

PowerShell does this, but PowerShell is mostly despised by Linux users on forums.
Were he to abdicate, wouldn't the crown pass to his eldest son?
This is really interesting. I wish I could upvote you more than once.

I use proxmox with lxc, but there's nothing like the simplicity of a Dockerfile

I think it would be nice to have say "dockerpull2lxc" or even better "dockerbuild2lxc".
It was Queen Victoria who gave patents to explore. They came and plundered our lands and created unrest first in the name of east india company and then the British Empire. We just dont know how the subcontinent would have evolved without their interference - because of their divide and conquer policy we have an extreme distrust between the muslims and the hindus that had resulted in one of the worst (and ridiculus) land partitions in 1947 and created a conflict that will go on for generations. They interfered where they had no business to be in and made a mess of everything. People argue that his hands are clean because all the bad stuff was done by his mother-in-law and the PMs. But he directly benifitted from the gains (as will his decendents) of the genoide and plunderings and won't even acknowledge. The monarch should pay the subcontinent back for the damages they have caused[0, 1].

I hear you (I was a vegetarian for over 12 years), but I don't think there's a simple solution to the problem. The reality is that most of the new "good" companies are just as bad as the old ones they're replacing.
A backport is harder FWIW. You have to go looking for gates to cut from the design.
Balancing supply perfectly is certainly not worth doing, but how can you look at the world and say that at least some level of central planning isn’t demonstrably superior to pure free market? The free market very often fails to deliver goods and services, for example electricity in Texas this winter. The point of central planning is to step in and prevent foreseeable market failures, where rational market participants will optimize the wrong thing (price, in the case of Texas electricity, where they should have optimized availability).
It's much simpler, if there's an increasing run of length k, it contains k(k+1)/2 subruns. So you can just do one pass over the array, keeping track of the length of the current run.

function f(arr) {
var j=0, ret=0;
for (var i=1; i<=arr.length; i++) {
if (i==arr.length || arr[i]<=arr[i-1]) {
ret += (i-j)*(i-j+1)/2;
j = i;
}
}
return ret;
}
It's just a set of bugs here, because of it using a redesigned boot chain. The bugs will be fixed, just takes some time.

Has nothing to do with trying to impose additional restrictions.
I think OP is talking about booting from an operating system installed on the SSD, so I'm not sure how you can replace that with "cloud backups".

This sounds like an ad, but Sandisk has USB 3.2 flash drive with NVMe inside, that according to this has up to 2 GB/s read speed: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Portable-External-SDS...

I used the version 1, not NVMe, which can only do half that speed, but I found it plenty fast.
The pro machines are allready out. You can buy a Macbook pro M1 right now.
I'm a little confused, why is Bing exempt from this new law?

Edit: Okay, they are exempt because they are not called Google or Facebook. I didn't realise the law was only going to be applied to two companies by name. Which, I don't know, doesn't sound like how laws should work?
This topic has turned up recently on HN. [0][1] Your position here matches my own: open source is a precise term of art in the software community, the way flap is a precise term of art in aviation. [1] Trademarks are not especially relevant, and neither is the early history of the term.

To put it in legalistic terms: you can face legal consequences for false advertising despite making no use of trademarked language. The court will not be interested in the etymology of the words you used, that's an academic matter, it's the modern meaning that counts.

In US culturally influenced zones, like Brazil, most people think Vietnam lost the war. Most people I've talked to about it were surprised when I told them how the war ended.

Yesterday I was not coding because my simple change required a bloom filter. I spent a little time finding an appropriate package. I went to import it and my IDE couldn’t. Now I am trying to find why the the manifest is borked, decided to re-pull all dependencies from scratch, find out three of them are incompatible, so I have to figure out what version to pin them to, etc. One lib had a breaking change in a patch version that I could address in our code. Cool, now back to using a bloom filter...

And our integration tests are more and more brittle as we put more and more services into our docker compose files. And they take longer and longer.
I understand the desire to stave off dependencies but managing an async runtime should only be a simple function call or two. How do you end up locking up the runtime with something like that?
Frustrating as this might be, CondoInternet is going building to building to provide gigabit Internet to apartment dwellers and even building neighborhood-scale fiber service to Eastlake, while CenturyLink is laying gigabit service to other neighborhoods, one by one. Even if we were on Google's shortlist, by the time they came to town they'd have competitors. Competitors who don't have a business model of monitoring people's web usage so they can target ads at them.
The analogy still holds.

If I hand you a blueprint for a skyscraper and I realize there is no lock specified for the front doors. Does that mean it's a lockless skyscraper or I'm speaking to a jackass who forgot a critical function related to security? You can't tell from the blueprint.

If a specification is required to be 100% complete for all things that could possibly relate in any way, then even blueprints don't qualify.
> I know on HN you're not allowed(?) to say negative things about big "tech" companies. I may be shadowbanned for ti,

I despise this meme. You are allowed to say negative things about big "tech" companies, especially here on HN. What you aren't allowed to do is act childish about it. Which is exactly what you do when you say things like this. And I tend to down vote when I see commentary like this, because regardless of what else you have to say, this type of commentary is what hurts conversation. Clearly, you are wrong about the culture of HN.
I think it is an XHR request, despite that not being the best option, as you later explain. As in, it includes the jQuery script and then does a `$.ajax()` call.
Honestly, this is the correct thing. Cars, once they're about 2-3 years old, have no real value. They all drop below $10k around here no matter the make or model (Maine winters are hard on vehicles, though, again, no one drives Mercedes around here either).

Buying a car is a sunk cost. Once you own it, getting rid of it before it cannot be driven anymore is wasting money. Once she bought that Mercedes, once it got too old, swapping it for a newer used vehicle would just give her a worse vehicle that would cost her more money in the long run.

I am poor. I've never been rich. I have a few nice things because I force myself to do the math on things. Other poor people hate me and threaten to report me to "the authorities" for owning nice things because somehow I cheated to get them.

I may not own many things, but the things I own do what I need them to do, and will do so for a very very long time. What this woman did, in my opinion, was the right thing.

Selling only makes sense if you can actually profit from it.
>"So Hitler saying Roosevelt is horrible because of racism in the US is perfectly fine in your book?"

Yes. Additionally, it has no bearing on the bad/horrible things Hitler is/was doing at the time I asked the question. Obviously he can't get a free pass for his evil deeds by saying 'but look, Roosevelt is racist, so what I did is OK'.

>"I wish Americans were so ready to see issues in Russia, Iran, China as they are to see very small errors in the US policy.

Russians are banned to even watch CNN nowadays but you guys buy Russia-TV fed propaganda day and night."

I'm not American, so I can't comment on that part. But in general, I agree with you, people need to be more outraged about everything in general. Whether it's something horrible in Russia, or mildly horrible in America, it should spark outrage/action.

Though there is something to be said about going for the "low-hanging" fruit first. But, let's face it, most people couldn't be arsed to fix their mildly-bad implementation of democracy. What makes you think they'd be willing to try fix the horrible government in a different country/continent?
Wow xiaq, thank you for your kind explanation of how I can improve one of my Chinese sentences. I am always impressed by the way that well-written Chinese is so short - Mandarin is a wonderful language!

I have changed the web-site to use your revised wording. Thank you again for giving me such excellent and complete feedback.

When TARDISgo is fully ready, I hope you will give it a try, then write to me in Chinese to tell me how you get on!
Taking drugs is wrong. It is wrong because it harms the person and the people around them and wider society.

Ideally we'd have no-one who becomes addicted to drugs.

But the existence of substance misuse disorders means we will always have addicts, and by definition addicts take drugs even when they know they are being harmed by those drugs. These people are not encouraged by safe injection spaces, because they were always going to be taking drugs.

How are those harms caused? How can we minimise those harms?

Some of those harms are caused by people not being able to access treatment to get off drugs; they cannot access drugs affordably so need to turn to crime to get money for drugs; they have to inject unsafely because safe injection places are not available.

A safe injection space means people are not sharing needles. People are helped to find better injection sites. Any infections can get medical attention before limbs need to be amputated. People can have drugs tested for purity. Ideally we'd be providing medical grade heroin so people aren't injecting contaminated drugs. People can be reminded about evidence-based drug rehabilitation (mostly substitution and therapy. For some reason the US has an over-reliance on abstinence retreats and 12 steps, which has little evidence of effectiveness).
Yes, an "About Us" page should be included on that site at least.

AFAIK GDPR protects personal data only, so if the savedotorg.org registrant is an entity of any kind then it shouldn't be any problem publishing that info.
Tunnelbear as well.

It certainly does work -- I use it frequently. The VLC snapshot tool works perfectly, and the system screen shot (cmd-shift-3/4) works too, at least on the H264 video I just tested with. Not sure what the issue could be.
His "Stylistic Issues" section also leaves a lot to be desired.

The second if statement is clearly not part of the loop structure, it might be possible to throw somebody off (if they don't know how this stuff works) if you were to indent the second if statement, but we don't, and your linter(you're using one, right?) will also complain.
I have been contemplating re-learning Common Lisp - I wrote Lisp (along with some C and PostScript) at work from about '89 to '95. Although I also did web development from about '93 the two areas never overlapped and when I co-founded a startup in '95 we were a Java shop - which was my language of choice for the next 6 years or so.

Inevitably I've spent a significant amount of time over the last 15 years telling people how wonderful Lisp is without actually using it for anything - so I'm pretty keen to jump back into using Lisp for Web projects.
Or perhaps they're referring to potential merchandising revenue...
afaik it's pretty academic. The only practical application is to allow recursion in languages that don't do recursion which is pretty much none.

This is a good description if you're into that sort of thing: http://mvanier.livejournal.com/2897.html

The meat of it is that you can 'do' recursion by building up functions that call other functions :/ meh

I'd love to have free time to pursue other hobbies like working on video games, and making music. If I had the million dollar cushion, and then maybe I only made like $500 or $600 a month with my hobbies that would be awesome.

Life is too short to do anything else in my opinion. unless I guess I end up with a family but that's not really in my plans
It seems like a terrible situation to me. My wife, who's an attorney, says that the law is for the benefit of the child. Better to have somebody helping pay child support as well as the mother.

Those laws were passed before DNA testing. It seems like they could be updated for that.

>Isn’t it strange that you have to make a disclaimer like “please don’t judge me?”. Quite literally 1/2 of the USA voted for Trump, should you automatically be ashamed of that?

I dont have a horse in the race neither other than stock market.

It's not that strange. It's why elections are supposed to be confidential. Public opinion is always going to shift. During Clinton's reign we had the clinton crazies who hated him. George W bush? Did anyone like him? Obama derangement was readily labelled racism. Now Trump derangement is very strong. Biden will have his haters, that's coming.

However, the derangement is real and even the illusion you're for trump will gain you hate.
Have a read though this and other related threads. It’s been surprising to me.
I'm someone who's been seriously active in powerlifting for years and I was getting ready to argue, but you seem to be correct. Not only was I not able to find research supporting CNS fatigue, Menno Henselmans himself(quoted in the article) agrees https://mennohenselmans.com/cns-fatigue/.

What I have anecdotally observed is that regularly lifting closely to your maximum (particularly at higher levels) will inevitably lead to accumulated fatigue. Whatever the root cause of that fatigue is (whether muscoskeletal, endocrine or nervous) is a factor that does lead to degraded performance over time.

The literature is lacking in longer-term studies, so I'm curious to see whether my anecdotal experience is pure confirmation bias or there is a mechanism behind it.
A lot of shit is still trickling down from that.
mitmproxy keeps all requests in memory, so that you can browse them quickly. If you want better performance, you can just swap "mitmproxy [args]" with "mitmdump [args]" and get all features in a headless mode which scales well and keeps a low constant memory profile.
I have yet to see a project running on a JVM (i.e., HotSpot, not Dalvik) where Scala was impossible to use. I have seen many projects with management that decried its use, but that's a self-caused and self-reparable problem.

And Akka is perfectly usable in Java.

There are very strong reasons for thinking that vertebrates feel pain in a way very similar to humans (see e.g. http://philosophyforprogrammers.blogspot.com/2010/11/who-fee...).

There is absolutely no evidence that plants feel anything.
I have nothing neither against LastPass, nor for Dracula, and I've never used either so I might be wrong, but here are a few differences that IMO matter a lot:

- Dracula is FOSS. LastPass has some FOSS projects, but the key ones aren't.

- Dracula is a one-time-purchase, LastPass follows the terrible trend where everything must be subscription based.

- You can use Dracula when the server is down. You can't use LastPass when the server is down. Yes, you can manually backup the vault somewhere, but (a) there's AFAIK no way to automate it, and (b) you should be updating the backup every time you edit the database, which turns into a PITA.

As a customer I really dislike LastPass' business model. I rather use KeePass, and pay a hundred bucks for some Vim rice.

Taler isn't competing with bitcoin per se, but it's competing with a particular vision of the bitcoin network (or any blockchain) as "the future of digital payments". Lots of people are into bitcoin as a digital asset, as some kind of inflation-protecting security, etc. For these purposes, Taler is completely orthogonal and not a competitor at all.
Your experts are too invested in studying those who live within society to even consider that a person can have a fulfilling life outside of it. These experts are the ones who devise school programs and community enrichment and all the strictures that press the life out of anyone not suited for them. After all, if they're not suited, they have to be "fixed". You as well -- you seem to think that despite having no desire to conform to any social structure, of course a person will seek romantic attention and of course they'll have sex. The idea of these being anti-goals didn't cross your mind, even in the context of opting out of societal engagements.

Look to the stories we tell ourselves. Look to the stories of the genius inventor, the witch in the woods, the anchorite, the man on the mountain. The persistent meme of the outsider, living for their own purpose. These people existed and still exist, and are doing just fine.
I'm thinking here of "standards" like csv and mbox that are almost impossible to handle with 100% reliability if you don't control all the programs that are producing them. It can get even worse with some niche products. I used to work with a piece of legal software that defined its own text format, and had a nasty habit of exporting files that it couldn't import. There was a defined spec, but it was riddled with ambiguities.

I'm coming to think that, when it comes to text formats, it's LL(k) | GTFO.
You are right. Probably something like half the time that it took for them to do this before.
> Experimentation is the key to science.

Computer science is a branch of mathematics. Here you build models, reason about them, find properties, then prove them, then rely on them. Tests - a.k.a. experiments - are usually not exhaustive and don't provide guarantees of correctness.

Having said that, I agree that experiment is of crucial importance - how else you would validate your models in the first place? However, both experimenting and reasoning can be flawed, and part of the trick is to learn how to do that properly. Computer science is difficult.
