Does it work if you're following a motorbike? I'm not sure how wide a vehicle it needs to get a decent radar return.

Edit: Just looking at a Honda manual online[1], it says: "ACC may not recognize motorcycles or other small vehicles ahead of your vehicle". That's more than a little worrying.

Don't forget Laravel, one of the largest PHP MVC frameworks and communities around, definitely a good choice to get started, tons of great packages too (checkout Packalyst.com)
I had that problem when one of my system DNS servers were incorrect.
sounds like a good question for/on stackoverflow.com
This seems to be taking advantage of a specific Oracle feature whose performance I have no idea about, there are suggestions that Common Table Expressions could do the same sort of thing but since CTE performance is generally horrible I'd be concerned that you get nice syntax and horrible performance. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how you could do something similar across different DBs without basically killing performance or am I missing something here?
I recommend this link to anyone contemplating storing/querying hierarchical data in sql/rdbms. The "LR Method" is the best solution I've found. Does not depend on vendor specific funcationality and/or keywords:

hi, why leaving the elevator at a floor doesn't pick up additional passengers? i.e.

http://pastebin.com/xA4NJbas @ http://play.elevatorsaga.com/#challenge=2

(yes that's only a stub, but has logging as I was trying to understand the event order)

at least
elevator.goToFloor(elevator.currentFloor());

doesn't count as a move and unlocks the passenger to onboarding

btw, when you start you get 2 moves per elevator in the moves count
Many VPN services now provide obfuscated access. Some use haggismn's XOR patch for OpenVPN. Others provide access via SSH, Stunnel (SSL) and/or obfsproxy (obfs3). I presume that any approach developed for Tor could be used with VPN. Using meek, traffic is obfuscated and routed through arbitrary third-party sites.
were medieval peasants who owned a sliver of land aristocracy? According to you it sounds like it.

I find the whole concept of "aristocracy" as applied to the US nonsensical.

Aristocracy is a form of government (rule by "the best"), and we simply don't have it. The fact that your mortgage payments go to a servicer who funnels it to a CDO who funnels it to Calpers doesn't mean that members of Calpers are aristocratic rulers of the US.

And let me remind you that the mortgage holders don't necessarily own any land.

I'll be the first to call out systemd for a lot of things, but not its core init idea. It's the same as daemontools, upstart, supervisord, and others do. Implementation is very different of course, but the idea is common - you run/kill services, not start/stop them. That's the reason we can leave the ugly and error-prone init scripts behind.
Armed screeners? That's ridiculous. I don't hear too many stories of shoot outs at the airport. The last thing we need is to turn TSA screeners into a police force. Customs agents are often armed, but they are trained law enforcement as opposed to the misfits making $10 per how searching for smuggled barbecue sauce in a carry on.
Actually, rotating a texture 90 degrees in memory when making a rotozoomer still results in large amounts of cache misses depending on the current rotation angle. In order to get a smooth rotozoomer effect you have to use a technique called block rendering. This means you divide the image in square cells and render these one by one. Because the pixels in the cell are always near eachother you can reduce cache misses. There is an old snippet from Niklas Beisert floating around the web that explains exactly how this works.

I agree, kinda.

I'm glad for the author's success so far (and, as another HNer said, that the word "lifestyle" has not yet reared its head in discussion).

On the other hand,back in October, about how my products had brought in $216,000 in revenue in 2010 to date (from $0 in 2008), and I got maybe 30 votes on HN, barely made it onto the front page:

http://unicornfree.com/2010/i-made-216668-from-products/

Which leads to me to wonder: Why is this $500/mo (after 1.5 yrs) essay so popular, but nobody was interested in mine?

For me, it's not just about getting the hits, but getting my message out there (I am all about making & SELLING paid products, not "startups"), so it's a question of effectiveness.

I've observed that HN seems most interested in rags-to-minimum-wage stories, and rags-to-riches stories, but not much in between (which is where I fall -- now). But there's probably also something else going on, whether it's me, my essay, or the audience.

If anyone has any ideas/pointers, I'd love to hear them.
Those are very conventional mathematics, and most core concepts have been settled for a century now. Cantor in particular paved the way toward a better understanding of many related concepts in that area.

As for the significance of those differences: I can think about two areas where this is fundamental (but there are many more). First, the natural numbers (0, 1, ...) vs rationals vs real numbers is really big in terms of "how many" numbers you have. You can prove than the set of natural numbers and the set of rational numbers is roughy the same size (they are both countable). Now, as you may know, there are some irrational numbers, like square root (2), pi, e, etc... But how many ? The answer is "many more than rationals". One way to define the real numbers (rationals + irrationals) is as limits of a set of rational numbers - i.e. for any real number, you can find a set of rationals which get arbitrarily close to an irrational (we say that rational numbers are dense for the set of real numbers).

Another field where you see the difference: topology vs probability. Roughly speaking, probability is a function which for a set gives you a number between 0 and 1. The key property of probability is that P(A U B U ....) = P(A) + P(B) + ... where A, B, ... are disjoint sets. Another way to look at it is that probability is a special case of the notion of set measure, which is the mathematical way of talking about volume, length, etc... There is a key restriction when defining measure, that is you cannot take arbitrary unions of sets, like say as many as real numbers - actually, you can prove that you cannot build measures if you want arbitrary (uncoutable) unions. This is a naive way to describe the Banach-Tarski paradox, which says that you can split a ball into two new balls which are identitical to the original one.
Software patents stink. Patents on obvious ideas stink. Patent trolls that do nothing but sue over their "intellectual property" ... they stink, too.

Now, let's get this patched in the kernel source.
I was talking about the folks that sold the TLD.
This is the first time I’m seeing that. It’s so beautiful. It’s elegant. I can understand it.

Why can’t the world move in that direction, instead of the insane Kubernetes hype that’s prevalent these days?
Yes, it does. At the same time it works incredibly well for collaborative editing. But the number of quirks and errors in the product are enough to drive you mad.
Not that I know of, but they're so cagey on details for those parts I wouldn't be surprised if it did and they just hadn't documented it. Certainly lots of quasi-similar boards like the espressobin have them (which I like better for the topaz switch anyway).
This is irrelevant because a large portion of Netflix's catalog is filler trash. My favorite example of one of Netflix's suppliers is https://www.gq.com/story/sharknado-atlantic-rim-pacific-rim-...

Apart from their first party content (of which Disney+ has more to draw from), most of Netflix is whatever they can get on the cheap of the cheap.
Antivax has plenty influence on politics. They've been able to push states to allow more and more capability to dodge vaccines when they should be mandatory unless there is a medically compelling reason not to.
I don't think most reasonable employers hold it against prospective employees if they have "bad" former employers. Obviously the exception being if they were employed in executive (and perhaps in some cases, managerial) capacities. But certainly not line engineers.
Your name-calling disqualifies you and discredits any valid argument you might have had.
Thank you for the report.

I found out about that one the hard way - plenty of crash reports overnight, but luckily only one negative review. I pushed a fix for that, so you could update... and see an empty map. :)
I agree. I think there are quite a few non-chefs that would love to do this. I ran into a semi-retired couple that are running a restaurant in SF and they sell freshly cooked food at a great price. And I don't think they would have been considered chefs prior to this.

On the flip side as a user I'd love to get "home cooked" local meals where I feel like I'm dealing directly with the chef.

PS: Don't take the rejection too hard. We took a couple and its not the end of the world.
The first anecdote originates with Clay Shirky. The vital missing detail is that the TV programme was "Dora the Explorer" which has a weird postmodern thing where a mouse cursor appears on the screen and clicks things. It's not unexpected in that situation for a child to look for a mouse.

Of course in this age of iPads and iPhones the child would be as likely to not know what a mouse is for. Which gets to the core of my issues with all this "born digital" or "digital native" stuff. Someone growing up with an NES is different from someone growing up with a computer, is different from someone growing up with an iPad, is different from someone growing up with home internet access, is different from someone with pervasive mobile internet etc. It makes no sense to draw an arbitrary line in the sand and say everyone after this point was born digital.
(I work at Stripe.) Square and Stripe Terminal are designed for pretty different use-cases:

Square is an instant POS that small business owners can use to accept payments for their shops.

Stripe Terminal allows platforms and tech-forward companies to integrate with the Stripe API—to deploy and customize in-person payments for bespoke checkout flows (think Shopify, Lightspeed, or HouseCall Pro).
In the words of the great Netochka Nezvanova:

The beauty of a body, any body is both its singular uniqueness as
a whole and its existence as a swarming chaotic symphony of smaller
worlds; of organs and systems, muscles, bones and organs
made up of molecules, of atoms and so on down to the tinniest
particle. A world its own and within it multiple smaller
worlds; the cardiovascular world, the auricular world
moving out from the body, a larger body or world is created by
that body and so many others orbiting in a confined space and time
i.e. a city, a country, a planet, etc.

Write the answer in Scheme.

I've only ever answered one interview question in Scheme, the problem was perfect for it. :) I first had to check if the interviewer knew Scheme, and he did!

I fear it has been long enough that I could not repeat such a stunt now days, but last week a resume came by my desk that had LISP listed on it, so I prepared some problems that would be trivial in LISP just in case. Unfortunately it was as I had suspected, a stale language listing that should have been removed from the resume long ago.

I'll change the topic a bit.

For one good Snowden there are ten bad types like Gordon Gekko or Francis Underwood.

I just wonder what bad types do with the data NSA has.

Hello all,

I've just published an analysis of software engineer compensations. It compares junior vs senior compensations and gives you a rough idea of what your compensation could be based on location. If you want to check it out:

* YouTube (video with narrative + examples): posted above

* Article: https://quanticdev.com/articles/senior-engineer-compensation...

Hope this helps attract more people to (software) engineering field. All feedback is welcome.

I don't see the value in that in most cases, honestly.

If you have, say, a 10-drive wide RAID6 you would need to source drives from 5 manufacturers/batches/models in order to be resilient to that kind of failure. Even if that was feasible that seems horrible to maintain long-term.

Doing a red/blue setup where your red systems use one type of drive and your blue systems use another type of drive seems like it could be reasonably accomplished.
you'd be surprised, people can be super suggestable and think they're high when they're not, especially when they don't have any former experience of the substance.
I've spent my career working in public policy circles, and this rings true to me.

> At most, working-class voters can cast their ballots for an “un­acceptable” candidate, but they can exercise no influence on policy formation or agency personnel, much less on governance areas that have been transferred to technocratic bodies.

> Unlike the work­ing class, the professional managerial class is still capable of, and re­quired for, wielding political power.

I've never seen actual grassroots activism accomplish much, if anything. Protests in DC are like rain; bring an umbrella, but no need to pay it much attention because it will blow over in no time. It's always insiders who make a career out of policy that ultimately shape it. Hill staff, think tank wonks, professional bureaucrats, etc--it's that professional Washingtonian class that really shapes the government's policy, because they are the ones that show up to do that work every day.
And technology has improved to the point where they can use a battery instead of a really loud internal combustion power source.
Clippy was annoying, but at least it was personified enough to serve as a single point of blame. But more than that, it didn't actually do anything automatically for you. It was kind enough to ask.
Considering 900 drives out of 1800 crashed in HP computers at a Swedish hospital in the last few months I suspect there is a connection.

Maybe HP and HPE were more tightly connected 3 years, 270 days 8 hours ago.
The laws require that sites ask you for consent before they track you. Merely notifying them is not compliant and just annoying (if you're not going to comply anyway at least don't annoy your users).
Apple would have been shafted if they left it up because then all enforcement of their rules would be up for grabs.

Anyone who wanted to flout any rule could claim Apple was playing favorites with Epic.

It has nothing to do with being screwed out of $2 per purchase of in-game currency.
Disclaimer: this is all far outside my wheelhouse.

But IIRC, the task of preparing our grid for another Carrington Event isn’t all that dissimilar from protecting it against an EMP attack, and last I read it was remarkably cheap.

Certainly dramatically cheaper than the F-35 program. I seem to recall it was so cheap Congress could practically pay for it with change found in the couch.
That wouldn't be possible without a corresponding behavior in those above the median age as well. If what you said was true and there's a disproportionate group of people below the median age leaving the industry without an equal number of people above the median age leaving, then you'd get a constantly rising median age over time and at this point that age would have be considerably older than 31 years.

I am not disputing that the game industry has a lot of churn. I'm disputing that the game industry has substantially more churn among younger people than older people and that the churn is significantly different from the rest of the software development industry.

It's not so much that young people are uniquely exploited and leave after a couple of years, it's that the number of software developers doubles every 5 years so that there is a huge imbalance of young people in the industry in general.
I would hope we (Seam) are one of them. K, granted it's extremely hard to trace all the LPs of a fund; but at the very least we don't take calls with questionable funds/individuals. Once we've shipped our first product, I'll try to write down why, and propose a framework by which founders can better assess the money they're taking. NOT all money is green.
Is this the only instance in recent history where a traitor has been tortured and/or killed? It's the only one everyone is talking about. The reason for that is for the common folk to develop a bias. A well deserved bias, but a manufactured one nonetheless.
> Could you please post an example of how it helps in embedded / no allocator code?

In today's Rust, data structures often need to be a fixed size, or dynamically allocate. This will let you write a data structure that has a variable size, but set at compile time. I knocked out a quick ringbuffer recently; I picked a size that seemed fine, but that size is fixed at the moment. If I had used const generics, it could have been more flexible here, I could have written it more easily for any size, where the size is written at compile time. This is not my work code, but back when I was working on a hobby x86 kernel, I did this for a VGA buffer: https://github.com/intermezzOS/kernel/blob/master/vga/src/li... it's generic over "something that can be converted to a slice," so that it uses a slice in production, but a Vec in tests. This also leads to runtime checks https://github.com/intermezzOS/kernel/blob/master/vga/src/li... to make sure that the slice is the right size. This would be much better written with const generics today. The slice trick is neat, but awkward. (This code is also awkward because it grew an internal "frame buffer," so it kinda has both going on. This example needs const generics less since VGA has one single size at compile time ever, but sometimes, you need something where this isn't the case, and this was the first example of code I personally wrote that springs to mind.)

> What's your take on the Rust HALs?

I haven't used them enough. We use the layer below them, for example, the stm32f4 crate rather than the stm32f4xx-hal crate. That doesn't mean they're bad, I just literally have not used them enough to form an opinion. The namesake of this space is diversity, and so different people make different tradeoffs; we don't really need what those crates are offering right now.
> Also, keeping large amounts of spares isn't ideal because the technology itself can date - oils can go rancid, metal can rust, and especially isolator material can break down.

Couldn't that be a good source of jobs, though? Warehousing, guarding, inspections, ongoing maintenance and replacement, logistics for all this. I think it could achieve both meaningful job creation (particularly if you threw in some procedural inefficiencies under the guise of "national security") and meaningful impact on real defensibility of a country.

Is this named after the old BASIC command "poke" on micros of the 80s?

This program looks pretty awesome and seems to fit into a use-case that I frequently want. I've usually just consigned myself to using standard hex editors, sometimes little bits of Python to wrangle whatever data I'm trying to manage.

Is it great work? No. Is it possible given the speed of the gadget news cycle? Yes.

And I read that article before it was taken down, it was total fluff. It shouldn't ever have been posted. They should have taken it down and left the editor's explanation in place.

But seriously, Android-fan readers need to calm the fuck down. This inconsequential editing gaffe doesn't mean Engadget hates anyone's phone, nor love anyone else's phone, or have any special conspiracy-driven agenda to hide bad press for Apple. It reveals the profound insecurity of that forum's collective mentality when they say things like that and get a lot of people agreeing.

I know the EVO has been getting socked in the press for its battery life (and these complaints are legitimate), but really it's a cool phone with a lot to offer and all signs point to the launch going very well for a Sprint phone. Re-lax.
I'm surprised this wasn't one of the choices offered. I'm also using this, and often wonder why it's not more popular.
Another option is Sinopia (https://www.npmjs.com/package/sinopia) which is a private npm repository server. After installing it, you'll have to change the npm registry url to your new private server and any npm requests (install, update, etc.) will go through your private server and fallback onto the official server if a package is unavailable.
this is a valid argument, however, the opportunities available to non-rich people are very likely to be severely adversely selected ( skewed towards not so great companies )
No, operators have English names resembling their semantics for that reason. AND(x, y) is only true if x and y are true. OR(x, y) is only true if x or y is true (inclusive). Etc.

If you're just going to remember truth tables, throw those names to the wind. You might as well call them P and Q. But we don't, because OR and AND and XOR make sense.

It looks like he introduces these truth tables (sec 27), where, to be fair, he does say this:

> The terms (and, or, not) actually work the way you expect them to, just like in English.

And then he asks you to practice memorizing the tables until you know them intuitively.
The headline is not quite right. These are rules implementing Title IV of the JOBS Act, which facilitates offerings by small companies subject to certain filing and disclosure requirements. The rules for Title III offerings through an internet fundraising platform (the real "crowdfuding" provisions of the JOBS Act) are still pending.

A better headline might be "SEC adopts rules for small public offerings."
I'd argue you shouldn't be working on remote servers at all. Ideally you should be working locally and deploy using Capistrano, Jenkins, Bamboo or git hooks etc.
