NFS hangs the system on failures because it is a shoddy implementation, not because it happens to be implemented in kernel space.

I think the old CVS quote by Tom Lord applies here:

CVS has some strengths. It's a very stable piece of
code, largely because nobody wants to work on it anymore.
that's actually valid C through a GCC extension: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.5.0/gcc/Conditionals.htm...
That is not correct. Even "Aryans" were tortured/arrested/harassed by government officials for anti-Nazi behavior (criticizing Hitler or the Nazi party [even indirectly], having relationships with POWs, suspicious political behavior, etc.).

If you're ever in Berlin make a point of visiting the following museum/exhibition: http://www.topographie.de/en/topography-of-terror/exhibition...

edit: fixed some typos. Additionally, a poignant example: many laws/acts in Nazi Germany were passed by Ja/Nein referendums. Of course, if you voted unfavorably in those referendums you were harassed and publicly humiliated (i.e. marched through town with signs labeling you as the enemy of the people)
Great. I hope you will send me a message when you have something ready @sorenbs
That's only true if you're trying to invent something better, Chess 2.0. If you're just trying to create something different and fun with similar rules, it's not really necessary to deeply understand the strategic balance of chess.
The weakness of the phalanx is that you can be outflanked; it's really hard to turn a long pike to address an opponent not in front of you. I would imagine that having cavalry to protect your flanks would make it a lot more effective.

I found a lot of improvement in my guitar practicing by reading "Fundamentals of Piano Practice."

The author made it available for free at http://pianopractice.org/

As I play fingerstyle I study hands separated by separating the bass and melody as thumb and fingers, then move to hands together.

I also analyze the piece to find the hardest as well as the most repetitive measures, work those out and pick up the rest of the piece. You also work these measures with transitions, by playing the preceding measure or half measure leading in and out of the measure you're practicing.

I typically don't get a lot of time to practice so I will pick up my guitar at random and play measures that I'm working on.
Theo is South African. He comes from a culture where you are very blunt.
So they are monetizing the show in a creative way. They are still making money off of the show.
It might be considered clickbait since the story barely touches (and never actually answers) the how of the headline (i.e. using a somewhat sensationalist headline to increase clicks).
Yeap. And regardless of the gender of the person evaluating the candidate.
I'm an English kid but I'm a Computer Science major, to. This is why I think I'm on the wrong path.
I have nothing against you personally. I'm just refuting your idea that Fed actions from the 2010s are responsible for wealth inequality that has been rising since the 1970s.

So how do you explain everything that happened on the wealth inequality front from the 1970s up to the financial crisis of 2009?

I don't agree with everything in the original article either, but many of the points it made are correct.
Deflation doesn't lead to hoarding. It leads to using your money wisely. You only buy what you need, and you buy things that last a long time.
> California is dominated by Democrats, but many of the people Democrats claim to care about most can’t afford to live there.

> There is an old finding in political science that Americans are “symbolically conservative” but “operationally liberal.” Americans talk like conservatives but want to be governed like liberals. In California, the same split political personality exists, but in reverse: We’re often symbolically liberal, but operationally conservative. Renaming closed schools is an almost novelistically on-point example, but it is not the most consequential.

He seems very close to realizing that neo-liberalism is not a left wing ideology and that it's producing the results it's intended to produce. Recently neo-liberalism has "borrowed" some left wing language around race, but only superficially so. Neo-liberal politics as practiced, are still the foundation of the establishment.
As you pointed out, path types are awfully specialized to the OS and really even the file system itself. It is not clear that "Go" could provide such a thing. It doesn't need to, really, you can relatively easily create a type for the specific case you have.

type PathSegment struct {
path string // not exported, so only the empty one can be created externally
}

func MakePath(in string) (PathSegment, error) {
// validate the input here
}

You'll need some more supporting types, of course, but it doesn't have to be provided by "Go" itself. (I have something rather like this in my codebase, though it is specialized to just Unix paths since I have no need to care about all the cross-platform details in this code base.)

I wouldn't expect this to be something the language itself provides, and I'm not even that worried about it being missing from the standard library because it's awfully detail-oriented even for that.
People who want to avoid the "duopoly" can transact directly with the blockchain, no?
Yes you can frame and admire a digital token, or rather the address holding the funds.

Gold's value has nothing to do with its utility.

I don't get your people's arguments. You keep repeating "a digital asset can't have real value" when the last 10 years have proven you wrong. You fool!
> Have you thought about what the economy would look like right now if there had been no accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve for the last 10 years?

Is this not a bit of a false dichotomy though: "accommodative monetary policy" (as it is done), or nothing? There are numerous different ways we could achieve "accommodative monetary policy", each of which would have different outcomes.
um, I wonder, who works in Fed and who writes their policies?

I also run a successful zero FTE company and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Well, I'd argue in all the places voter fraud is likely, we can't have evidence since we don't have transparency or records. That's not the same places as the Trump crowd is talking about right now, but touch screen voting with unauditable proprietary software? Come on. There's one private company which controls the election outcomes in several states. We have no way to know whether they're doing anything illicit and no way to know.
Didn't know this, makes sense. Least the UI still seems pretty nice almost 4 years later and not ruined by other non "decent" parts.

Been working on rysolv for about 9 months now and finally got it out the door! Anyone can import an issue to the site and contribute towards the bounty. Whoever submits a pull request closing out the issue earns the bounty.

My main goal is to bring some more support into open source development, and to encourage new people to contribute to projects.

Would love to hear any feedback on the site, or bugs people find!
I am super excited!

I really thought Hacker News was a more intellectual place, than to condone empty blanket statements like "their writing is crap".

Please, if you are going to state something, especially in a thread regarding rationality, please back it up.
If the kernel hackers wanted a garbage collector so badly they could have written one, the reason they probably didn't is because it's not precise. LINQ is not a life saving feature in kernel space.

Overall I think kernels should not be written in high level languages because high level languages hide memory and hardware, the two components that need to be managed by the kernel in the first place.
"far better than it was" ... citation needed? I thought the GAO has reported several times that it's as easy to get "bomb parts" and other weapons through TSA security as it was in the pre-TSA days.

I've been trying to find the report. The closest I got to was one on "TSA's Cost and Performance Study of Private-Sector Airport Screening" which said there are methodological problems in the TSA's report on the cost of private security over TSA-base ones. It pointed out that a handful of airports (including SFO) use private security.

So, how has SFO compared to LAX?

Woah there cowboy! A bit of humility maybe?

I think if they added "humility" to that list, it would've crossed a line.
Nimbupani's link contains 9 countries in the EU where it's not available, so it seems it's not so uncommon.
Thanks for that rundown.

> The one good take away from all this is how easy it is to fool the gaming blogs/press with a $20 PR newswire release.

Fascinating. Got any thoughts or references on how to get PR newswire pieces picked up? Y'know, I mean without being a scumbag ideally.
And if you read the entire comment, you'd see "the same person" (me) is saying more dumb people make life worse. Or am I not reading my own comment correctly?
Isn't it a false dichotomy that you can either have a complicated multipart form or a freeform text box for addresses? Why not by default show the multiform box that provides some nice (optional) validation to catch that vast majority of cases and also give the user an option to fill out a freeform text box if the former doesn't work for them?
I like it - keep going.
That would depend on the data set and the strip size. Striping is good for streaming. Linear/concat of 2+ drives with XFS would be faster with a lot of files than end up in separate AG's on separate drives which can be accessed in parallel.
It made my Firefox crash.
What about women? Mother's in Nazi Germany sent their sons off to war with proud smiles on their faces.
I'm becoming a stronger and stronger advocate of teaching command-line interfaces to even programmers at the novice level...it's easier in many ways to think of how data is being worked on by "filters" and "pipes"...and more importantly, every time you try a step, something happens...making it much easier to interactively iterate through a process.

That it also happens to very fast and powerful (when memory isn't a limiting factor) is nice icing on the cake. I moved over to doing much more on CLI after realizing that doing something as simple as "head -n 1 massive.csv" to inspect headers of corrupt multi-gb CSV files made my data-munging life substantially more enjoyable than opening them up in Sublime Text.
I'm confident in my prediction that ten years from now, people will be writing articles predicting that VR will be the future of software creation in ten years.

Basically the Y combinator applied to futurists.
I did not distinguish between large and small investors, but pretty sure there are enough institutions on board.
If we need less crop produce (because we dont need to feed the live stock) then the crop produce related pollution will decrease by the same factor, right?

No also consider all the pollution from the live stock (which is huge! see the documentary Cowspiracy or Dominion for details).

A lot of pollution come directly or indirectly from animal produce. I count CO2, NOx, phosphor, methane, water use/pollution/acidification, land use/pollution/acidification. It's said that it is one of the most polluting industries, up there with transport and residential heating/cooling.
Please don't do this here. It's only going to start a religious flamewar.
> Why is it more rude to call someone on teams where they can just decline the call than to swivel in your chair and start talking to them?

In the office, you can generally observe the state of your co-worker. Are they on a phone call? Are they already talking to someone in person?

A phone/Slack/Teams call can be quite disruptive if someone is already in a meeting.

We haven't fully adapted work culture to remote work.
I looked at Krisp but I felt the cost was a little high as work is not going to cover that expense for me.
Yet by writing a question or problem as text, you are forced to actually think it through, and often no longer need to interrupt someone else. Easier != more efficient.
> the benefits outweigh the risks

The benefits do not outweigh the risks for one category of people: under 30s with low exposure.

Check the first chart at https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/apr/07/under-30s-in...

20-29 year olds with low exposure risk:

* Benefit: ICU admissions prevented by having the AZ vaccine: 0.8 per 100'000 people

* Harm: Serious harm due to having the AZ vaccine: 1.1 per 100'000 people
My criticism stems more from C++'s steadfast refusal to drop backwards compatibility, in any way, for anyone, ever -- while also adding new features. What this means is that new features can't provide the guarantees they can in other environments leading to "ruined fresco" [1] syndrome.

Concrete example: std::move. Move constructors can copy, and `std::move` doesn't move. Naturally, it just casts your T onto `std::remove_reference_t<T>&&`. Because why not. It also leaves your source object in an undefined but totally accessible state -- whose validity is up to the implementor's convention! I think std:: collections are totally useable after they've been moved (correct me if I'm wrong) but your own types may just explode or fail silently. Talk about a giant footgun.

This approach leads to poor imitations of features from other languages getting stacked on top of the rickety footbridge that is K&R C.

It's specifically the evolutionary design philosophy that I take issue with.

The language has become borderline impossible to reason about. Quickly, what's the difference between a glvalue, prvalue, xvalue, lvalue, and an rvalue?

And the compiler, in the name of backwards compatibility, sets out not to help you because adding a new warning might be a breaking change. I've got easily 15 years of experience with C++ - granted, not daily or anything. To figure out what's actually happening, you need to understand 30 years of caveats and edge cases.

Depends how reliable the home internet connection is. Pushing it out to a VPS means you can carry on regardless over 4G if the broadband flakes out.
Time to convert existing orders to Moderna or Pfizer and re-target the existing production lines.
I'm kinda confused about this. The whole point of this is respecting each employee's preference for how they work best. If you work better in an office, like office culture, and want a separate space away from home then you should be able to have that. And now the office will only have people who feel the same way.
Good memories. My first job at age 14 was working on Xenix boxes (386es) with a bunch of Wyse terminals connected to serial port multiplex cards customizing and configuring medical/dental software for local practitioners. Created my muscle memory for vi on Xenix as well. It was mind-blowing how well it ran on such limited horsepower back in the day.

"In Europe, it is Nissan's second best-selling car behind the Qashqai. U.S. sales of the Juke are slowing in 2015, but the crossover sold 38,000 units in 2013 and 2014, and about 36,000 copies in 2011 and 2012.[28]"

No one says that deep fakes are production ready today... but given the speed of progress, they’re going to be in FAR less time than takes for our social and political systems to mount a response, so there’s going to be some fucked up consequences of them.

Also, 280w comes out to be about $58 a month in electricity for Bay Area pricing (29c/kWh). Collocation will probably be cheaper for some folks.
This whole concept of "misinformation" is the attempt of one side to silence the other, rather that debating the subject with definitive proof of their claims. With all of the unknowns of many of these current subjects, I would think open debate presenting theories from various sources would help find common ground.
Sort of crazy. I always hear about how startups need immense traction (e.g. DAU, revenue) before getting funding, and yet somehow Fibery seems to exist (persist?) in spite of that. Here are the October numbers[1]:

Going to a bar sober is fine, just start talking about philosophy with people until they stop leaving, sit down with that person and chat for the rest of the night.

"How cool would it be if you could just fire up your browser, do the work you want it to, and press a button and now it just magically does that someplace for you without ever having to write code?"

Like, recording macros has been a thing forever, but how are you going to magically generalize them, without better-than-human AGI?
Very misleading article. The vast majority of human obesity is not caused by genetics - indeed, this is why we have many more obese people now than we did a century, although we have the same genetics. Our great grandparents gave their genes to us, but they didn't suffer as much from obesity because they ate only what they needed and were more active.

For the unfortunate minority that truly does have a very strong genetic component, the fact remains that eating slightly less - just 10-15% less, will allow them to match their metabolism.

This is not to say we should "blame" people - social and environmental factors are very important. Lack of sleep due to too much work / artificially lit environment causes more eating, lots of food is engineered to be super tasty for us, there were no cookie trees in our ancient past :)
If only 13k accounts are listed, that means they didn't directly crack one of these services. They probably got a list of emails and passwords from a smaller site, tried them out on other services, and posted the ones that worked. So the moral is: don't reuse passwords, especially on sites that have your credit card info!
I tried to read "a scanner darkly" however I really didn't get on with it. Its a shame because it has an excellent story, but I couldn't cope with the dialogue.

You can do your part to fix this by not watching TV news and not reacting to clickbait in any medium, on sheer principle. If you can't manage that, at least don't spread the disease to others by bringing up the latest hypes and scares.
I can't find the actual numbers, but something makes me think they're a fair chunk of the world's potato population, with the fact that you can't buy them in a store being the point.
Sure; I'm not suggesting dropping TCP entirely, just that e.g. a 1MB request / response is not going to be legitimate, and so you can simply not implement a lot of TCP's complexity (e.g. window scaling)

Regarding segments:

In 64 bit mode CS DS SS and ES are still there but forced to 0, but are still around and FS and GS can still be non-0.

In 32 bit mode they still exist and all 6 are functional afaik.
In the UK, contracting here (in London at least, for Java, Ruby, Grails and similar day rate gigs) pays enough that you can afford to work for a few months, then take a few months off from paid work to concentrate on your own projects. YMMV depending on your family/dependents situation.

The goal is to work yourself to a point where you shrink your day-to-day expenses small enough and grow your side projects' income large enough so the contracting work is no longer necessary.

Right, the instances go into a scene level acceleration structure and for each triangle mesh we build an object level acceleration structure on the triangles. I was planning to do something like a BVH<T: Geometry> so then I don't need a separate BVH type for instances and triangles, since Instance implements the Geometry trait. I'm not sure if there's a better alternative that would help get around the DifferentialGeometry issue since in this case the instance members of geometry types (Spheres, Triangles) and Instances must have the same signature.
