If you are asking me if I’ve experienced a successful rewrite? Yes, numerous, and the more successful ones have happened as a result of planning.

I’ve also been part of rewrites that have gone poorly, due to a lack of planning, where the legacy software fails in unexpected and unanticipated ways, which requires a rushed attempt to fix the issue (which fails) and a subsequent rushed attempt to replace the core functionality when the fix doesn’t work (and also fails because “core” tends to be larger than you initially think).

Knowing ahead of time when software isn’t going to be useful any more isn’t really an option, it’s just an acceptance of what is already going to happen.
Perhaps you should articulate a well-defined definition of fascism and provide arguments for why you clasify someone as a fascist if you are going to criticize someone else whose viewpoint is dfferent. Calling out someone for 'obviously dumb' claims assumes a universal non-subjective definition at the very least. It's also a seriously lazy way to argue a point.
This isn't _really_ news. It's been known for a while that cells can be made "immortal" by repairing telomeres [0]. In fact, for stem cells and cancer cells to keep their immortal properties they use various mechanisms to repair telomeres [1]. The major issue is that the more times a cell divides, the greater the likelihood that it will develop cancer. Some theories postulate that the Hayflick division limit on cells is actually a defense against cancer.

The Wikipedia articles on telomeres and telomerase have plenty of further resources[2][3].

The two main ways to get into university in Sweden is through your grades or through a national test (Högskoleprovet ~ The university test). From your grades you calculate a score and then people are accepted into programmes at uni based on that score.

The grading has seen a lot of debate over the last 10 years or so from when it changed (IG/G/VG/MVG --> A-F scale). The way things were graded in the old system had national guidelines, but I think teachers were supposed to take a holistic view on the students performance. Essentially, teachers gave an overall grade. With the new system there were two things that were rather unintuitive. MVG was the highest grade in the previous system, but this does not translate well to an A. Under the previous systems a few programmes required MVG in every subject to compete with other students. So as far as I know the new system required a grade "above" MVG. So that is one thing that makes it different. But also, the new grading system should grade you high if you scored high in ALL criteria for that subject. You were only supposed to be able get one grade higher than your lowest criteria. Of course, a lot of teachers thought "Well IG should translate to F, G should be E-D, MVG should be A. And then I'll just grade like in the previous system.". I think this line of thinking has created a lot of joy grades and unfortunately locked a lot of hard working kids out of their fair spot at uni while letting less hard-working people in.

I know some people who barely got into uni from their grades but turned out to be some of the best performers among their peers because they got fair grades while others got joy grades.

No, you're the maintenance guy. Computers don't care about formatting. The correct answer is A, because "A" is drawn with just three straight lines and computers like straight lines.
"Secondly, this doesn't account for ensembling: "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...". Since the images are crafted for a single net, a majority vote should not be fooled by these images."

Trivially "solved" by treating the ensemble as a single object, then constructing a counterexample. My intuition suggests that while the resulting "fooled you" image may very slowly converge on something human recoginizable, it won't do so at a computationally-useful rate.
I have nothing against reading and enjoy it thoroughly, the discussion here isn't that, it's about learning and being considered competent, and I'm simply pointing out a specific qualia of learning first-hand vs read and how it manifests in your reliability to others.

UFC and boxing are certainly life and death and I'm sure you'd have quite a similar feeling to going to battle. Though again this really misses the point: going to battle is a great example, in fact, not replicable through reading in a million important ways.

No one who has only read about war will ever be in the room deciding important things about war, nor will their stories about war (reciting from a book) ever be quite as interesting or well-said. Of course it's a spectrum, and someone who has read and experienced it first-hand can be better, but the point stands.

I'd argue empathy manifests in real life experience more than reading, but it's hard to convey in writing.
They added a fake hard shift on outbacks newer than that. I've had a 2010 (first CVT), 2011, 2013 and 2018.

This is not the logical conclusion of not following too closely behind the car (any car) that happens to be in front of you.
Also good defaults. In fact they don't even have certain settings in MacOS. For example you can't change the pointer acceleration, but the default one is just perfect.
In Rust I would just do:

let x = match foo {
Some(x) => ...,
None => return // or break, etc.
};
// do something with x

(This is assuming that you don't want to propagate an error or panic, which could be more easily done with `foo?` or `foo.unwrap()` respectively.)

If you are so concerned about privacy and security, why use an iOS device at all?

Note: I am not trolling. It is a serious question. I mean, probably no one would be using ChatSecure if it were not Free Software, rightly, because nobody could audit its source code, but then isn't it a security/privacy issue using it on top of a completely closed platform?
A Google search for "n e z coordinates" revealed that N stands for north or northings, E stands for east or eastings. Basically, it looks like they just swap X and Y.
I disagree. I think that is a very linear view of (money = happiness) and it doesn't include the 'real life' factor.

What if Engadget honestly deleted the article/poll for the reasons that they described in their response? Then who is being more manipulative, HN with our speculative take of the events (referring to the post title), or them?

The article itself was quite favorable toward the EVO, so claiming that they would be upset by favorable results toward EVO in the poll is kind of nonsensical.
I wonder whether there is more discussion as a result of him refusing to turn up - perhaps he is more famous because of it.

Not sure whether he likes the attention or if it fits his political agenda.

No. Bad headline, article confuses correlation and causation, not thoughtful.

Once you've got it running it does nothing other than display a webpage. Put it on the desk, plugged in constantly. It could show my calendar or weather/traffic data.

When something reaches pop culture can the bubble popping be far behind?
Yes, bucket sort is simpler and O(n) too. But your examples are too simple: think ((0, val0), (1, val1), ..., (n, valn)) and ((0, val0_1), (0, val0_2), (0, val0_3), (1, val1_1), ..., (k, valk_6)) or somesuch.

This presumes there's agreement on what "should" be, but there isn't and won't be. Talking about what Bitcoin should be is as useless and unproductive as talking about what political views you "should" have because people are going to be on every side of the issue; there simply is no "should", there's what is and what isn't.
Minimising context switching is a big part of improving programmer productivity, as I'm sure you're aware. This may not seem like much, but large increases in productivity can be achieved through small increases building up; every little helps.

Plus, it's cool.
As another alternative, bootstrap your OS using EFI. You get to boot directly in 32-bit or 64-bit mode, as with multiboot, and you get a handful of OS-like facilities to bootstrap yourself with, such as files, input, output, graphics, and even networking. (You'll want to replace those with your own facilities eventually, but until then you can focus on more interesting problems.)

Haven't used either, so giving an opinion on those wouldn't be fair.
Curious, why not switch to Chromium instead? You would still want to disable plugins as you do now, but is there an advantage to using Chrome over Chromium once plugins are factored out?
I'd say the line's open most weekends (I sometimes travel to Ipswich for the weekend). Stuff wears out and weekends are the best time to do engineering work, so you'll always end up with a certain number of closures (on a 4-track line they can sometimes close one track pair at a time, but that line is 2-track north of Chelmsford). Some of it may be Crossrail-related work (I understand there are changes to Bow Junction planned). But I'm not conscious of it being worse than any other line.
maybe they reamplify the signal using nearest phones
No, because it's still in development. Regardless, it's solid.
And they can always pay for storage they use above the new free limit:

Honest question: If beta testing speeds up the transition to FSD by x months/years and causes y deaths during the intervening period but FSD ultimately reduces the number of road deaths by z per day. For what values of x, y and z is it an acceptable trade off?

Zeroism is often overly simplistic. y being non-zero might be hugely net-positive in the long run.

I've on occasion idly wondered whether modern information processing technology would enable a centrally-planned economy that worked better than the failed 20th century examples.
Sure, i know what you're saying. The playlists I do subscribe to are indeed updated continuously. However updates are relatively minor. A few songs from artists already on the list, maybe one or two totally new-to-me artists every other week. I'm not saying it's nothing but I want more.

Spotify boasts a gigantic library, I cant imagine I've heard everything good (objectively) already. There has to be thousands of hours of material that I simply can't find that I'd otherwise love to hear.

Well, I doubt Intel sees it as a security feature first and foremost. But even if they did, they don't have an obligation to be "responsible" in how they market their features. Many of their pricing choices ultimately end up being related to yield. If they need to devote more transistors in order to enable an IOMMU, seems like it makes sense to charge more for it.
Actually, last time I visited Facebook HQ, Zuck's desk was in the open space just like everybody else. I was quite surprised.
Call it what you want, Zuck. It's still a giant warehouse sweatshop. I work in an open office now. Never. Again. Fuck that. Could you imagine the sound of a hundred conversations going on, at once? "Wear headphones." Thanks, but I'd rather not damage my hearing. Where is OSHA when you need them. This is a factory and you need hearing protectors. Not headphones. 85 dBA. If you can't hear a person four feet away for most of the day, your employer is breaking the law.

True. But there are only a few different types of gas, and in the US alone, there are 50000 new food products introduced on supermarket shelves every year: http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/FoodMarketingSystem/new_pro...
And there are also many more places that sell food than gas (proof is that places that sell gas almost always sell food too).
But with enough motivated individuals, anything is possible, price tracking included.
That work was creative, as opposed to what the developers did, which was (probably) not creative, and therefore falls under the rubric of there not being a 'sweat of the brow copyright' in American law:

https://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:No_Sweat_of_the_Bro...

> Work performed on a public domain item, known as sweat of the brow, does not result in a new copyright. This is the judgment of Project Gutenberg's copyright lawyers, and is founded in a study of case law in the United States. This is founded in the notion of authorship, which is a prerequisite for a new copyright. Non-authorship activities do not create a new copyright.

Now, they're only talking about public domain works, which these photographs may or may not be (if there was a copyright on them in 1945, for example, it was not renewed in a timely fashion; Night of the Living Dead is public domain because its copyright wasn't renewed, and it's newer than WWII), but I would be completely shocked if this doctrine didn't apply here at all.

This all seems to be a bit of a red herring:

1) Based on what I've read from experts and what I know, if a national security agency targets your data, they will get it. Even government systems containing state secrets, protected by other state security agencies, have proven to be vulnerable. Banks are penetrated; even RSA's crown jewels were stolen, IIRC.

2) Even if 'content' data is encrypted, metadata almost certainly is not. Security agencies can identify which data belongs to their target and collect it, even if encrypted. Also, IIRC, recent leaks indicated that the NSA automatically collects much encrypted traffic, including Tor and maybe VPN traffic.

3) Metadata, as most people here probably don't need to be reminded, is as valuable as content. Again, regardless of what encryption you use your metadata probably is vulnerable and security agencies can easily collect it and utilize it.

4) Therefore, it seems that encryption only prevents low-cost search of bulk-collected content. It doesn't provide any security for metadata (usually), encrypted content still can be collected, and unencrypted content probably is vulnerable if you are a high-value target.
You provide some interesting thoughts.

As for 1: This is not practically possible, and/or forces the government to artificially fix exchange rates between currencies, which would defeat the whole point.

Why? Because huge parts of the law deals with absolute monetary terms. Gasoline taxes, for example, are typically a fixed amount per litre. Tax exemptions are usually of the form "no tax below $X amount of $currency". Going beyond tax law, you have the same issue with fines. Reasonable people can prefer this kind of absolute amounts in certain areas of the law, but this forces the government to either "pick a winner" (i.e. settle on one currency it uses in its legal texts) or to artificially fix exchange rates (by giving the amounts in all existing currencies).

This pretty much means that currency competition cannot exist.

The much more important point is this though: Currency competition does not serve a useful purpose. It only adds friction to the everyday economy. (Removing this kind of friction is a big reason why the Euro is still pretty popular with many people despite the macroeconomic mess it has lead to.)
On the one hand, if I really wanted my resting orders to fill, of course I would list them at all possible venues, and once it filled in one place, I would remove the order with all haste at the other venues.

On the other hand, if I really wanted my orders to fill against others' resting orders, I would time the sending to each venue so that they arrived at roughly the same time; if I'm in Chicago, that means send to the New York venues first, wait about 20 ms and send to the Chicago venues. Staggered sending should work pretty well as long as venues are far enough apart; I don't know how many venues are located in the same city.
I find it works best to use something the "Average/non-tech" person will surely understand:

"What if there were cameras in your house that recorded everything you did & said, but the government promised you the footage would only be reviewed in the case that they suspect you committed a crime. How would you feel about that?"

I've gotten a lot of mileage from this metaphor myself. The response is usually silence while they internally question their worldview or something. Never gotten a counter argument, nor anyone replying with "I'd be okay with that". Would be interested if HN could poke a hole in this so I can patch it. :)
Wow, reminds me of Tibia... brings backs memories. I always _LOVED_ Tibia, but the difference in design was that Tibia was a little bit brighter and generous with its colours, you should try to make things more brighter.

It's like the RTS version of Tibia which is an MMORPG. Loved it.

The 601 was comparable to the multiple-issue scoreboard architectures used in 1960s supercomputers, such as the CDC 6600, the IBM 7030, and the UNIVAC LARC. The 601 (I think) was a scoreboard machine, not a rename and retire machine.

A scoreboard machine blocks when two instructions use the same register. A rename and retire machine (most modern out-of-order execution CPUs) can map the same program-visible register to multiple machine registers and parallelize even when there's a register reuse, as long as there isn't real data dependency. The "retirement unit" at the end of the pipeline sorts out conflicts.

Scoreboard machines need lots of program-visible registers, and compilers which avoid reusing them when there are registers free. How much of that needs to be done varies with the CPU implementation, which is why compilers for MIPS machines had flags to optimize compilation for each MIPS implementation. This was a huge pain for software distribution. One problem with having lots of registers visible to the program is that context switches require saving all of them to RAM, which is a drag on CPU dispatching.

While i do not agree with the expectation that others should do work for free, 5 year support is really short when the devices work perfectly fine. Why contribute to e-waste and force people spend money they may not have when that isn't necessary?
