Yes and additionally (with Chrome's DevTools) you get out-of-the-box functionality like the ability to set a break point, live edit your code right at the breakpoint, and save your change right back to the filesystem. With transpiled languages this kind of workflow is generally less streamlined -- I don't know why more people don't complain about it. The best alternatives I've seen are when people completely reengineer the workflow - I'm thinking about the Elm debugger as an example.
3d printing with metals allows for much more complicated geometries but it's not magic, there are still significant limitations, doubly so when you're talking about implants.

For example, there would have to be perforations for extracting the raw material from inside the hollow interior (probably titanium powder in this case) which means that you now have a hard to post process implant (titanium isn't exactly bioinert) with an exponentially greater surface area for possible autoimmune reactions or infections and an interior that is probably damn near impossible to sterilize (since you'd probably honeycomb the walls).
I have mixed feelings about it. A student with character will at least read the material, try to understand it, and then ask questions about confusing points. So, I put it to the test by loading up the article the Redditer saw. First paragraph explained it's part of a series with this link:

http://gafferongames.com/networking-for-game-programmers/

Very first link explained some of what Reddit poster asked with others covering how to solve the problem and why each method was used. Reading that person's post shows he or she took a casual glance at Part 4, didn't attempt to read rest, drew conclusions, then smeared same article on Reddit, then pretended to know what he or she was talking about on advanced aspects, and then asked some questions. This is the kind of behavior that makes the Internet drop verbal bombs on people as punishment and to deter future instances of laziness and arrogance.

So, when seeing this, the writer has several choices: reward the behavior by rewriting their articles points in new comment for just that lazy person w/ specific references to things he or she ignored; link back to original w/ guidance on specific parts he or she ignored; blast him or her for being a lazy idiot who writes criticisms of stuff he or she doesn't even read. I think the latter is an entirely valid strategy in such a situation. It has the side benefit of preparing the person for the fact that the Internet will drop bombs on them when they display laziness, ignorance, and sense of authority at the same time. Hopefully the deterrent effect kicks in with the poster reading the next article and its links first. And only then questioning or criticizing part of it.

Less likely to get rants that way from that writer, other writers, FOSS projects, and anyone else that doesn't tolerate such bad behavior. You're much more patient than most. Nothing wrong with that either. Let's just differentiate between people making solid attempt to learn and people like this poster. Nobody's insulting the former. If they did, I'd totally agree with you. Far as this poster, I'd have grilled him or her too.

Thanks thaumaturgy-

I used your questions in writing the update post above, which hopefully provides some more clarity
I was a Technology administrator at a k-12 schools before coming to NYU. What you describe are (unfortunately) pretty classic issues that tons of schools (as we did) faced. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about how to start tackling this. Would love to help in any way I can, and I'm local too.
That doesn't necessarily work at the level of fundamental data structures. If you make the same mistake in 1500 different places the profiler won't show any of them as particularly hot but your program will still be slow.
> They were just two members of a robust philosophical tradition, Russian cosmism, whose influence can still be seen today in the transhumanist movement.

Source? I don't see any influence at all. When I read older transhumanist works like _Great Mambo Chicken_, Ettinger's _Man into Superman_, or even older than that like _The World, The Flesh, and the Devil_, or I read histories of the movement like Stambler's recent _History of Life Extensionism in the 20th Century_, I see absolutely no influence on Western transhumanism from Russians except indirectly through Cold War realities. Further, when I read the occasional summary or publication that filters through the language barrier about current Russian stuff like the 2045 Initiative, it feels like it's coming from a totally separate and disconnected world (for better or worse).

That there are similarities is not much of a proof: the possibilities of technology and science are the same everywhere, and so responses will likewise be similar. You don't have to have studied deeply in the Kosmism canon to think that it would be good if we didn't age, sicken, and die suffering horribly and that science might be able to do something about that...

The only attempt I've seen to actually show real links is Stross's lame blog post on it, which amounts to 'this is a little like that, this came before, therefore, this caused that' and is nothing more than a thinly-disguised 'post hoc ergo propter hoc'.
Using Spamhaus alone will block (with a very low FP rate) about 99% of spam. Throw in a few other simple techniques and the inbox is pretty clean, all without even looking at the message body. Most spammers haven't caught up to techniques more than a decade old, so I don't expect them to suddenly start encrypting E2E to evade (e.g.) uribls. I've received about 5 spams in the last year (self hosted), and I can live with that.
I expressed the same view here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10212003

I think the person didn't even read the articles but smeared them anyway. Blasting such a person is entirely justified. That the rant included useful information, too, was quite generous.

Compared to the university going through the hoops to fire a tenured professor, it's reasonably fair. A lot of physics departments do work with outside companies and the government as well; a chair arrested for espionage isn't conducive to those sorts of relationships. I'm surprised that the university was willing to refrain from throwing him under the bus, all things considered.

I think you're right that, generally, the technical sophistication of this problem isn't super demanding. We're not storing millions of records, we're not (as far as I can tell) asking for anything "complicated". We probably don't have the technical sophistication to manage this ourselves, so we're probably looking at a hosting SaaS, as has been said in other places
For future alien historians: Voltropy is measured by the increase in the total predictive accuracy of Solomonoff induction when the state of a system is specified. (e.g., before organic life, the composition of matter on earth provided virtually no information about the future of the galaxy, but that is changing as the development of space travel increases the probability that intelligent life will exert causal influence beyond the confines of our solar system)

I'm not sure why this paper would be of special interest to people outside the Stable Matching community. While interesting, yet another variation of the Gale-Shapley algorithm isn't ground-breaking, and both writing and the introductory section need more work [in particular, it doesn't make sense to say that an algorithm is "stable" (only its output is), and algorithms cannot "be" O(n^2) either, but merely run in that time].

The question is a stealth customer support question. I'm not talking about interviewing for customer support, but unless you're hiring a hermit they'll be talking to other, probably non-technical people.

I guess the standard HN car analogy would be asking a car mechanic how suspension works and you want to hire the mechanic that makes the questioner happy and comfortable and feels informed, not the mechanic who says F off noob LMGTFY or gets "stuck" in a deep corner of Hookes law analysis of torsion bars vs axial springs regardless of questioners interest or simply starts making stuff up about left handed crescent wrenches and frequency grease. Also you want a reasonably fast answer, not beating around the bush for an hour without figuring out what the customer is looking for.

Its not just dealing with non-techies anyway. I could elaborate at length on ye olde FDDI 10b/8b optical code making analogies with good old AMI/B8ZS encoding on T1 circuits to maintain clock sync, but I might have to talk to a guy about 2015-era photodiode manufacture trivia or the photodiode guy might have to talk trivia with me, and its interesting to see reactions. Usually tech people get along better with tech people even if non-tech people ask the same question which is kind of interesting.

As a strategy to "win" at an interview its pretty hard to beat a table turning approach of you tell me your mental model and I'll be your tour guide as we straighten out misconceptions as you steer us down the path to whatever it is you want answered or you reach your fill of answers. Gotta be brave for this one if they inevitably take some weird side detour, and yes they will notice if you start steering away from your own weak spot.
Slightly offtopic, but is 'Coding Language' now a thing?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, there are some puzzles where timing is important, maybe 25% of all puzzles in the game.
The game that inspired me to create Seeders was Braid. So you can expect similar mix of thinking and platforming.

Since the game is not selling well, I guess there are many other players that share your opinion. I'm considering to remove such puzzles completely. The game will be 25% shorter, but it still is very long (all players that completed it clock over 10 hours of play), so I don't think it will be a problem.
Trolling can be as simple as rick rolling someone or telling people that "Alt+F4" will make your game run faster. This is so far past trolling that there should be a better descriptor for it. Inciting terrorist activities is criminal, not trolling.

why should we, spend the time to educate each other about formatting, and spend the thousands hours semi-manually do so perhaps with help of paredit, when we could have it to automatically and transparently?

This is sort of funny coming from a guy who isn't using the shift key properly. Language conventions make communication easy. It's why $_ should be used. It's why "ain't" isn't a word and the subject comes before the verb.
The products that we are creating are reprogrammable and reconfigurable, just like a GPU or FPGA. Updates are like a firmware update. Our hardware would be no more obsolete over time than a GPU or CPU running in its place, and given the huge improvements over CPU/GPU, it would be many years before CPU/GPU would catch up to any particular product anyway.

They are not able learn on chip - that is a non-starter and not particularly useful anyway. Customers dont want self-driving cars that need to learn how to drive, they want self-driving cars that already know how to drive.

I think we all know that Education is one sector, not unlike legal services, that could stand for a big wake up call.

Lots of challenges to getting new or useful tech into schools, not least of all that everyone is too busy teaching to be able to pull new tools into their chain.

You're not wrong though: it would be grand to chip away at some of the entrenched, systemic inefficiencies.
Ah, good point. I jumped tracks there.

But it may still be a valid question, you just would not expect the same level of detail. I do believe that developers should at least understand the basic concepts of how the web works. Maybe not the structure of a TCP packet, but certainly how DNS and IP addressing work, and the flow of data between a server and a client as web/mobile apps are loaded.
But the 'O(1) block propagation time proposal' essentially merges the consensus and networking layer.

Notable problems:

1. Engineering would like to keep the networking layer and consensus layer separate because of architectural decisions for eg; difficult to push networking upgrades

2. Syncing unordered data in a trustless distributed system is a hard problem. Some propose ordering them, but that promotes censorship and centralization.
As someone who has a 16gb nexus 5 and is writing this post from a 16gb chromebook that also has a linux installation. Give me a break. 16gb is storage, has nothing to do with a user experience.

No one liked being the chairman of the math department when I was studying there. It's a bureaucratic job that gets in the way of what professors usually want to do: research. It's a big, important job, and you want someone doing it who isn't dealing with the fed :)
So black holes really do shrink phase space, and it's not simply a matter of it being too computationally expensive to extract out "what went inside it" given the microstate of the black hole radiation?
I'd be thrilled to start a conversation with you, it would be great to take advantage of your insights.

Oh, did not know that, thanks.
There are numerous proposals on the table to scale past 7tps. The reason that they aren't implemented yet is because it hasn't been needed.
Ok, so if I understand you correctly, there are some people who have gift cards and want cash. They're willing to take a substantial hit to do that. And a quick Google search shows that there are plenty of people in that business. But your unique angle is that other exchanges can't handle Amazon cards. Could you say more about why, and how Bitcoin makes that different for you?
Eh, I assume to non-technical readers, "coding" == "programming", therefore "coding language" == "programming language". It sounds funny to us, because we usually use "programming language" or just "language", but "coding language" makes sense, I guess.
Sometimes inviting the reader to ask himself question or be curious about the tools he's using can be important. Latency is not often taken in consideration when teaching networking. So many consider TCP to be the standard versus UDP, which needs to be clarified.
How politically biased are you?
Maybe the people who made or support this software can update the frequency of the batch jobs (e.g., every 15 minutes instead of every 24 hours)? After that, perhaps they can add a couple more fields for you to track the additional data.

I'd start with asking your administrator for that. If that person wants to go wild and bring in the million dollar software consulting team for a brand new solution, then let that be his/her idea, for you own benefit.
You're right- it's a very complex process even trying to talk about bringing new systems into a public school. FERPA is not an inconsiderable force.

I've tried to give more concrete insight into what I'm trying to do, above; but I think part of the ambiguity is because it's very difficult for me to understand what we need so far. We need a technical solution to serve people who can't be expected to directly interact with it...
Don't let anyone tell you that if online advertising disappeared, there would be nothing interesting to read online.

There was an abundance of interesting things to read on the web (produced by amateur writers and by students and professionals who make their living as professors, scientists, engineers, technologists, etc) before advertising appeared on the internet (around 1994). Even if we ignore the web, there was an abundance of interesting things to read on the internet and its predecessor (the ARPAnet): specifically, there was plenty to read in newsgroups (starting in 1979) on mailing lists (starting in 1975) and on "anonymous" FTP servers.

Before 1991, commercial activity was not even allowed on the US internet backbone. (Since the backbone was used by most internet users -- even users in other countries -- that amounted to a de facto internet-wide ban on commercial activity.) For example, although employers and employees (that is, W2 workers) were allowed to use the backbone to make help-wanted and work-wanted posts, contractors (1099 workers) and organizations seeking contractors were not because that was considered too much like commerce. Even with that ban on almost all commercial activity, the internet was a very lively and engaging place.
So in the space of four hours you've gone from "djb's software is, in fact, quite user and admin-friendly" to "[t]he term itself is devoid of meaning altogether?" Talk about moving the goalposts.

Nov 2005: “Zuckerberg to Leave Harvard Indefinitely”
I am not sure whether these are dark corners of Unicode or just complex language support. When dealing with text, you need to learn and educate yourself about text. International text is much more complex than localized text, but if you intend to support that, learn it. Sure, frameworks exist that hide a lot of the complexity, but then you hit a specific bug/corner case where the framework fails you, and since you are not familiar with the intricacies of the language-specific problem, you are clueless how to proceed and fix it, whereas if you invested the time to learn about it, it would have been much easier.

A similar (albeit rather simpler and more limited) problem is calendrical calculus, where people who have little to no grasp of how to perform correct date operations do complex calendar applications and fail spectacularly in some edge cases.

Call me crazy, but if you are dealing with text, have some time set for research before you start your development.

Having had a very up-close view of some stories NYT covered, I'd say they are doing horse-trading with the government in selected cases, where they pull certain punches in exchange for access. This is the kind of thing I would expect from them, but not from a player like firstlook.org / The Intercept, for example. Sure they are a special case because they have some deep pocket backers, but that's at least one example of better.
But that leaves out the poor, because there is no alternative to shouting.
>> The solution was to ask buyers and sellers to rate one another and to make those ratings public.

As I understand it, eBay feedback is now one-way. A seller can't leave a negative rating for a buyer.

How are Feedback scores calculated?

For each transaction, buyers and sellers can choose to rate each other by leaving Feedback. Buyers can leave a positive, negative, or a neutral rating, plus a short comment. Sellers can leave a positive rating and a short comment.

Very little over 10G exists on any single wavelength, its all in stacking at different wavelengths. Much as your cabletv has a zillion 6MHz wide channels holding HDTV or whatever, you can run 4, 10, whatever, 10G ethernet light wavelengths on a piece of fiber at slightly different colors.

Bret Easton Ellis, the Art of Fiction No. 216
Yesterday evening I e-mailed the professor quoted here

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10210474

about the similarity between his ideas about Hitler's ideology and a short story Borges published in 1946. We had never communicated before; I heard of him for the first time through this press interview. He replied and said the connection was interesting.

I wouldn't be that opposed to ideas where people should put money at stake when making new unsolicited contacts, but I think a challenge is that people's wealth varies by many orders of magnitude, the recipient-perceived relevance of what they want to say varies by orders of magnitude, and the correlation between the two is often only moderate (maybe mediated by things like education, social capital, and fame).

That sounds like an optimization pass of a compiler. I'm not convinced it's meaningfully different.
