"not in the car scene"

How annoyingly, needlessly pretentious is that?

The fact you say "car scene" on the internet makes you 200x more oblivious then what you're accusing him of being.

Fucking car scene? Fucking weirdos, man!
You can't de-escalate a fight unilaterally. You can try to surrender. But if you tap out and the guy keeps hurting you, what do you do? Let him? Way to go, Gandhi, but you're still bound for the hospital.

In certain fights, surrender may be equivalent to suicide. You would need to know something about the character of your opponent, when you are probably only acquainted with his fists. If you are in actual fear for your life, you should be trying to incapacitate your opponent by any means at your disposal, whether it is likely to piss him off [more] or not. What would he do? Beat you to death twice?

Since escalation can be unilateral, and de-escalation is usually not, that produces a ratcheting effect that few people can afford to crank up. You never know if the other guy is going to be a grand-master fighter. Or a psycho. Or both.

I stand by my opinion that beating on a guy who is already defenseless represents an escalation, and the loser is not able to meaningfully de-escalate from there.
Republicans agree in-so-far as we believe we need to create a society with the best possible outcomes for the most people. Despite what Liberals pundits often claim, that's never been in disagreement.

The disagreement is about what type of system produces the best results -- be that using cultural change and market forces to bring up the general tide, or giving increasing power to a central government to try to force equality of outcomes.

We believe that if you try to force equal outcomes, you end up destroying your civilization. The best you can hope for is freedom.

That means we believe in making the world better without government coercion, and we believe that history supports that position.
In a world where situations are constantly changing. A good plan now can help make progress, while next week you'd still be debating what changes to make to the plan in light of new developments.

And if you are using Java, not only can you test your application wherever you want, you can also write it wherever you want.

Languages that don't offer this multiple flexibility will have a tough time becoming a main teaching language in schools.
It's both. It's a shared execution and the publishers haven't really put the work in either.

"Just an aside that raw 0-60 time is probably not the kind of driving performance you're buying a BMW for."

Agreed - and that wasn't my point.

My point is, BMW is highlighting a performance stat that it's (relatively) terrible at. I don't know why they mention it at all.

Also it's worth noting that given the very much lower center of gravity that the Tesla has that it is also better at all the other things BMW is good at.

Trying to discourage the use of a language because of `public static void main` is as absurd as trying to sell a language because it lets you write `println("hello world")`.

Don't believe anybody who uses either of these tactics.
Show HN: Opensource, minimalistic, addicting L.S.D. game
I switched to Fi and had a pre-existing N^ from Sprint. It has been rock solid except for the delays that were mentioned in the article.
I'm curious if you'd care to mention exactly what "more lethal martial arts" or "good schools" you're alluding too. I also specified "full-contact" previously, meaning live training - would be quite surprised to find legitimate schools practicing "lethal techniques" at anything close to full speed.

>Can you explain to me why generally armies teach their soldier something like Krav Maga...

The US military's combatives program is based mostly on combat sports[1], e.g. BJJ, judo, muay thai, boxing, wrestling, etc. The training is adjusted to their particular use cases, like trying not to lose your weapon, since soldiers with guns who can shoot are a lot more valuable to the military than ones who can grapple. That aside, and if you don't believe me fine, but most military guys will lose quickly to even an average BJJ blue belt. I've seen it many times, and anyone at an MMA or grappling school near a military base should be able to confirm as well.

>They also concentrate on fighting on the ground which is pretty fucking useless IRL. It's also useless against say multiple opponents. Or are you expecting them to wait for you to choke them out one by one?

Except it's completely not. Sure, ground fighting works best (imo) in a one-on-one fight against unarmed opponents, but if you're attacked by a team of people with serious weapons you're probably screwed anyway. BJJ (if that's the one we're focusing on) also involves a lot of wrestling, judo, position control, etc. No one forces you to go to the ground, and a lot of the actual Gracie self-defense stuff involves standing escape type techniques - "break the grip and get away." And again, it doesn't take long to choke someone out, a few seconds if the grip is right, and even less to just rip a shoulder or break a wrist. You can finish a kimura standing, for example, it's just easier to get out of if the person knows how to defend it.

>A boxer learns to fight in accordance with some rules... he's at a disadvantage because he's not expecting someone to say kick his knee out.

Opening up leg strikes certainly changes the game, but experienced boxers will have extensive practice in controlling their position, distance, making angles and avoiding strikes. If this comparison is still between people doing full-contact styles with live training, versus people not, he still has a huge advantage over an opponent with no practice in an actual combat situation.

You seem to be alluding to styles where people somehow practice "lethal" techniques in an effective manner without neutering the effectiveness of their training, but provide no suggestions of what styles and schools those are. If you could provide some examples it would be more convincing.

>What am I supposed to do with this statement. Maybe you are just a shit grappler.

Maybe drop the attitude? It was one of my first days of class, against someone with years of experience. I'm not really interested in debating it if there's no intention to reach consensus and just toss insults instead.
I'm running Windows 7 as a Xen guest using Intel GVT-g on my i3-5005U (2C4T, HD Graphics 5500) for the past week now. I've pinned 2 vcpus each to both Dom0 (Ubuntu 15.04) and DomU and use both simultaneously in a dual monitor setup.

I can't comment about Photoshop or Illustrator as I have no experience using those programs, though I do a fair bit of work with PCB CAD tools: OrCAD, EAGLE. I haven't ran into any major issues thus far. Media playback works fine btw; mpv does not report any skipped frames when playing 1080p webm files downloaded from Youtube with youtube-dl.
Best advice. You can't prevent them forever, plus they can always watch porn on other devices, not just at home.

Also it depends on how old are the kids. Maybe they're already old enough to know what they are watching.
I don't know, I was using mikeash's phrasing to create a comparable situation. In reality, most cars, including the Tesla, alert you well in advance of running out of fuel so neither case is likely to happen.
Walmart starts holiday shopping season way early
Driving at 1 AM from Plattsburgh, NY to Albany, NY, I did worry about whether I would run out of fuel. Including seeing an exit sign for a gas station, and driving a mile out the exit only to find it was closed, only to turn around and get back on the highway with fuel running low.

Driving from Youngstown, Ohio to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania at 1 AM, I also worried about running out of fuel.

People I know who travel across Wyoming, Nevada, South Dakota etc. say it is worse out there.

Fuel is not available 24/7 on every street corner of the country. On Route 95 from Portland, Maine to Miami, Florida it is to some extent. But go a little off the beaten track and it is not.
Recruiter who has technical background for the most part.
On the other hand, a student would likely be quite far along with an ARC language (well beyond intro) before they'd need to understand anything about the subtleties of it or even its existence. Until then, they can just treat it as though it were GC. One might even argue that if they're going to eventually learn manual memory management, ARC's subtleties might act as a good intermediate step. I think it's about a wash.
Ah yea, I love Arizmendi but I don't go there as often as I used to Cheeseboard, probably because SF has many more alternatives than Berkeley did.

The only thing that's shameful here is that this horribly biased article made it's way on to Hacker News.

"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain."

Instead of complaining on Salon that the government should, using other people's money, do something about this problem. Why don't you go out there and do something yourself? Why don't you go out there a make a difference in the world?
I have no good/bad feelings about any of these products. I just picked 2 examples and compared their naming/advertising, just to give some background for a discussion.

I'll echo that Rust really does seem to be something new and exciting in the native land of languages.

I feel like it's still got some rough spots(around FFI and just some APIs still being unstable) but there's so many things to like with the current direction.
Ask HN: Is speed the ultimate weapon for a startup? Let's discuss
In the opening paragraphs of this First Round article http://firstround.com/review/speed-as-a-habit/, Dave Girouard, CEO of Upstart and former Google Exec, states:

====
"I’ve long believed that speed is the ultimate weapon in business. All else being equal, the fastest company in any market will win. Speed is a defining characteristic — if not the defining characteristic — of the leader in virtually every industry you look at.

In tech, speed is seen primarily as an asset in product development. Hence the “move fast and break things” mentality, the commitment to minimum viable products and agile development. Many people would agree that speed and agility are how you win when it comes to product.

What they fail to grasp is that speed matters to the rest of the business too — not just product. Google is fast. General Motors is slow. Startups are fast. Big companies are slow. It’s pretty clear that fast equals good, but there’s relatively little written about how to develop the institutional and employee muscle necessary to make speed a serious competitive advantage."
====

A few sentences from this excerpt stood out to me, particularly the "fast equals good" statement. Is this a generally agreed upon belief in the community here? If you do believe in it, can we provide some more evidence beyond what's provided in this article, and if you don't believe in it, why not?

That's confusing. Don't you hire people that specialize in their fields as you grow, so wouldn't you want them making the decision that THEY would make, and not your shitty decision? An example being that you don't really want your DBA to "move fast and break things"...

Ask HN: Resources for a developer starting an ecommerce business?
I thought it would be fun to set up a low-footprint ecommerce site, either selling a drop-shipped product or some etsy-esque art I make, just as an experiment in starting a small business.

But all the information I've found is incredibly... spammy. It's all aimed at non-coders with insane get-rich-quick ideas who usually resort to "growth-hacking" techniques I abhor as an internet user, developer, and human being (e.g. use modals aggressively, sell your user's information, etc).

Are there any technical guides for developers interested in starting small businesses? It's a little annoying to read ecommerce blogspam that takes about how bleeding-edge XML-powered inventory systems are.
Seems like a re-phrasing of truisms cautioning against 'perfectionism' like, "perfect is the enemy of good." The idea behind these things is that perfectionists tend to overestimate how much actually needs to be done to achieve a goal. It is a form of the planning fallacy.
Whats amazing to me is that if I understand correctly backprop still works. It is very odd that SGD on the error function for some training data is conceptually equivalent to teaching all the gates for each hidden feature when to open/close given the next input in a sequence.

Almost the entire OSX API is built on the Objective-C object dispatch model. Swift and Objective-C are built for this model specifically.

It doesn't make sense to run Swift (or Objective-C) without the underlying platform API. You can do it (and Apple does; iTunes for Windows is built with such a shim) but it's not practical.

The only reason Swift even exists is that no other language (other than Objective-C) fit with the object model of the OSX API. So they had to make their own. As much as other languages don't interface well with OSX is as much as Swift doesn't interface well with every other platform.

no that's what i was told.

A little bit more about me:
I was born in August 1986 in Grudziądz, Poland. I was 2 months to early.

I had to be revived 3 times after i was born. usually they tried only twice. I was told that by a Nurse who begged the Doctor to try it once more. I know all that because years later I thanked her with flowers. She and my mum told me some stories. They dont have a source or article about that. They are just stories.

there were more miscarriage then normal since April 1986.
She told me that some children were horrible deformed and that she was happy for every child they could save.
I wrote a list of things that off the top of my head had broken things. Each of those changes meant that subuser couldn't run at all.
I don't see him state that. His argument seems to boil down to:

1) I want to use a single teaching language.
2) We need to teach them about memory management.
3) C style manual memory management is too hard for beginners.

If you accept #1 and #2, you can't start with a language with the full 'magic' of garbage collection, as it would have to be the only language, and you cannot teach #2 with it.

If, in addition, you accept #3, ARC makes sense to me. You can have your pupils implement quite a bit of advanced data structures such as trees and tries before you hit your first cycle, but there are 'real' data structures that use them, so you won't have to make up some artificial example to find one. Until that time, you can let your pupils think that the machine reuses memory as soon as it is no longer referenced.

I think his arguments make some sense, but I am not sure I'm fully behind #1.
Yeah, that's something I've spent a bunch of time thinking about. I've gotten a lot of emails from people around the industry saying they'd like to be able to share more process data, but I'm not sure what the best approach is. If anyone out there has any thoughts, I'd LOVE to collaborate.
"Twitter does not allow others to understand your deep thoughts and broad perspective. It only allows others to confirm how stupid they already think you are."
Same here, especially that "parse" in the technical terms is so suggestive. You enter the website and wonder: what type of compiler/regex technology this startup is doing.

Instead of e.g.: "Parse is a Backend as a Service. It's for developers who need backend, but don't want to deal with servers".
> What they don't have is housing for someone who spends 20 hours of every 24 lying on the ground cracked out and shitting himself. No landlord can tolerate that kind of behavior, not even a publicly-funded one. It's a health hazard, a danger to other tenants, and does too much damage to the dwelling; never mind the fact that such a tenant will never be able to pay even token rent.

Which makes sense in a practical way, what we should be doing (inclusive we) is funding social programs to help people avoid spending 20 hours a day cracked out shitting themselves, You aren't going to stop everybody but the cost of doing it upfront is so much lower than doing it later.

That of course require that a government have a cohesive and inclusive strategy for dealing with the welfare of it's citizens and we don't seem to have that in the UK let alone the US.
Processing is also pretty good, for a similar reason.
In companies I worked, they make a lot of them. HR is part of the panel that votes on a interviewee's fit and also handles a lot of the salary negotiation (which is as important as the whole hiring process).

Wow! In Kannada, a South Indian language, we have the saying, "devaru vara kotru poojari vara kodlilla." Translation: "even though the god granted your wishes, the priest didn't pass it on."
