That was an option i used to love when i was an OS X user, that i could avoid drilling into infinite menus by simply hitting some combination (it escapes me now) to get the little search box in the Help menu to pop up. It would automatically do a search among all the menu entries of the application. It's a blessing that i don't use much GUI-heavy stuff any more these days, but that certainly felt like a life-saver at the time.

Is not so strange. The 'mist' is created by the aquarium pumps and aerators in fact. If the water had poisonous substances and the aquatium does not have a cover, those could travel by the air as aerosol. Is rare, but not paranormal.

The inverse works also easily. It is known that fishes can be poisoned and die by nicotine or burned oils smoke when aquariums are placed in smoking rooms or kitchens.

Moving to a more employer-friendly place is a losing startegy if you're good enough to get offers in SF. Good engineers will by and large figure out that being in SF is better for them in pay and mobility, and so will not follow you to the middle of nowhere.

On the other hand, I would like to see development of "minor" tech hubs in other more livable cities. I'd give anything to have access to SF-type employment in Chicago, as long as it didn't turn the Chicago housing market into SF's.
Staying away from most anything makes you worse at that thing. Staying away from phones/tablets for a week might also make them less able to understand emogies, slang, and current humor (all vitally important for the youth of today).

The commit also says "This particularly shows up when slow_start_after_idle is disabled

Just for clarity on all my responses in these threads, I'm a (minor) contributor to Nix the Tricks and a personal friend and research partner of the author.

Why is (1/2) / (1/4) = 2? It's because there are 2 quarters in every half, it's not because (1/2) x (4/1) = 2 that's just a 'convenient trick' to get the answer quickly.

No, both of these are true. Your logical answer is correct: 1/4 goes into 1/2 twice because there are two quarters in every half. This is how our ancestors conceived division and fractions, and that's how physically dividing things works in the real world. But division is not an independent operation; it's the inverse of multiplication. As plonh mentions downthread, division is, quite literally, defined on a field (like Q) as multiplying by the reciprocal. (1/2) / (1/4) = 2 because (4/1) = (1/4)^-1 and (1/2) * (4/1) = 2. Any other mathematical explanation is simply justifying this fact in more palatable terms.

By the time they build the first reactor in 15 years, the U.S. will probably have 30-40% energy production from solar panels (along with the necessary batteries for storage).

We should explore other clean sources of power or further improve the ones we have, but I don't think nuclear will represent anywhere close to the majority of the world's energy production in 30 years. Yes, even with fusion power becoming real.
I won't claim TempleOS is useful, but as far as I know it's pretty interesting technically, especially as a one-man project. There's no shortage of personal side projects out there which are completely useless, but interesting to look at just the same. The only difference here is a much larger scope and a weirder motivation. I'm definitely not going to feel ashamed for being interested in the technical aspects of such a project, just because the author happens to be delusional.

In any case, either discuss the actual stuff at hand, or if you think it doesn't belong here then flag it and move on. Filling up the whole comments section with discussion of the guy's mental health, ground which has been so thoroughly trodden that it's in danger of breaking through to the magma, is just ridiculous.
I've responded to a few comments here already, but I'm a math/CS teacher who is a friend and research partner of the author, and I contributed a very small amount to Nix the Tricks. I'd be more than happy to take any questions and/or forward them on.
And there is plenty of evidence that face-to-face social interactions trigger various neurotransmitters. I was reading a little while ago about distinct effects in the brains of men of hearing young female voices.

You're right, they can, but they don't have to be. A flame icon is typically used for heat or fire I think.

Sure. New England (what most would call "classic" Yankeedom) has a culture and attitudes that are derived from English puritanism, while the cultures of (say) Wisconsin and Minnesota come from continental Europe (Scandinavia and Germany, e.g.).

Even at the urban level, the cultures of (say) Chicago and (say) Boston are wildly different.
Toyota Engineering is moving from LA to Detroit. They gave the staff 2+ years' notice. 2/3 of the work force is expected to leave. There's severance and whatnot involved (they seem to take care of their employees very well). With enough transparency and lead time, though not ideal it's manageable.
There were several going around in the "warez" scene in the mid-90s.

It didn't require a script, either. When mailing lists and other automatic email sources let you add destination addresses without closing the confirmation loop by sending a test email, you can denial-of-service email addresses with just an SMTP client.

The really nasty part about this attack is that it's not just bandwidth amplification. Normal amplification attacks go away when the attacker decides to stop sending packets. With mailing subscriptions, the badly-configured mailing lists keep sending the attack on their own.
Nothing appears wrong with that file. I can do "python settings.py" with both Python 2 and Python 3, without getting a SyntaxError.

I don't see that as saying that Terry is free to pursue his project because of his schizophrenia. Rather, Terry happens to be free to put a lot of time into TempleOS and the results are pretty amazing. Terry is also schizophrenic, but this is not freeing.

Virtual reality in search for killer gaming app
I feel nostalgic for this time too, but in a less clear cut way.

People seem to have forgotten that before the rise of the Internet there was another form of media that dominated our lives, and that was TV. Some of the complaints that apply to the Internet also apply to TV, in that it directed our attention away from life in our immediate vicinity, dominated how we spent our free time, etc...

Even though I basically only watch YouTube now, I remember watching a ton of TV in the 80s and 90s. I have some fond memories of moments spent watching TV, but for the most part I watched a lot of utter dross. The same is true for the Internet now, some fond memories of time spent online but something keeps me looking even when the content is dull.

If I could go back, I'd go back to an alternative reality where pirate radio was the dominant form of mass media. I like radio, and I'd like it even better with a greater variety of output, including easy to find output from those in the local area.
It's just bikeshedding IMO. When I write C# code, array indices are like memory operation in my mind. When I go to Octave indices are like subscripts on sequences to me. Anyone who think it really makes a difference is being ridiculous.

I think zero based is "prettier" because of half open intervals, but it really doesn't matter.

I agree with your point. Do you think it could have been phrased differently though, since some people might take offense at their perspective (and by implication, them) being called nerdy?

Exactly this. Some people seem to think that using smartphone means doing something irrelevant, less important than talking to a person. But you know what? On the other side of that phone there usually is a person.

One of the rudest behavior I encounter is people suddenly coming to you and interrupting in the middle of your IM conversation, demanding undivided attention and refusing to accept that you're in the middle of a conversation. IM is not e-mail, it's often as time-sensitive as voice, and quite often that IM conversation is much more important than whatever the interrupter came with.
While it's dated (e.g. just prior to what people are saying are the heydays of CMOS, which matches my vague memory), I found this 1981 book invaluable back when I read it in the early '80s: http://www.amazon.com/Microelectronics-Revolution-Tom-Forest...

It covers in at least a little detail all the generations of semiconductors, e.g. there was a great table showing which companies were big in each. As I recall, back then TI was the only survivor, and, surprise, TI is still pretty strong as I understand it. It's discussions and illustraions of yield, what akiselev discusses here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10286735 were particularly useful.

I wouldn't recommend it today (and probably didn't return to it after the '80s) except that's it pretty cheap used and will cover lots of stuff that's not so generally well known now.
Thank you, the making of presentation coming soon!

You're making the mistake of thinking that people addicted to opioids are also getting pain relief from those opioids, when actually they still have the pain, and then they have the problems of an addiction on top.

> What's better than opioids?

That depends on the condition. An answer was already given here:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10285321

In general people with chronic pain need access to pain management clinics; physical rehab; and a range of medication - including if needed opioids.
Glowforge LAser printer raises close to $3MM in 3 days
For those who don't like one-based indexing, your problem is solved: there is now a package which provides two-based indexing https://github.com/simonster/TwoBasedIndexing.jl ;-)

Edit: For a history of 0-based indexing see http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2013/10/22/citation-needed/ My understanding is that with modern compilers, there's no need for 0-based indexing; you can use 0-base, 1-base, or 69-base indexing as you prefer. 0-base is applicable to people creating chips or writing hardware drivers. Most scientific programmers are not so closely tied to hardware; 1-based indexing is one of the things that helps make Julia more accessible to high-school programmers or PhD students who don't want to learn binary arithmetic.
> There is an undocumented telnet port on the IP camera, which can be accessed by default with root:123456, there is no GUI to change this password, and changing it via console, it only lasts until the next reboot. I think it is safe to tell this a backdoor.

Backdoor? This is way too obvious for a backdoor. If I wanted a backdoor in my IP camera product, I'd modify the source of a tool I have to (cross-)compile anyway. Say I have to compile my own kernel for this device already, I could add some port knocking which then throws back a live stream upon the last knock. Or if I have to compile the webserver software, I would add it in there. All but impossible to come across if you're not looking for it - and even if someone were, it would be beyond most people's skills.

An additional open port, especially with a password like that, is way too obvious to be a serious back door. Even if you go for the theory that they made this backdoor to make it not look like a backdoor, it doesn't make sense: the device is probably going to be behind NAT, better to put a hidden URL or something on the already-reachable webserver port.
thank you.

it is definitely a difference, but to act like this is the reason for these numbers is so misguided.

"I use mobile web because apps have too much control" - no normal person ever
For people who are early in their careers, let me tell you a little secret: these organizations, com score, gartner, etc, they produce reports that say what the people who hire them want them to say. In other words, you can slice and dice the numbers to get the result or support the argument they want to make.

They often use very shoddy methodologies, and just estimate in places where there is no data-- in fact, when they have no data that's even better.

Take anything coming from one of these companies with a grain of salt-- it's not real research (like Mary Meeker's reports, those are real research though she too often relies on these as source material, alas, these days.)

This is telling big wigs and enterprise companies what they want to hear, so that they can take them to their bosses and prove that whatever strategy it is that the bigwig wants to undertake is supported by "data".
In a word: slavery.
well burning more fuel certainly increases output, but isn't it the case that the forcing the compression takes energy? That must be found from somewhere? Supercharged engines are generally less efficient than turbocharged engines, as far as I understand, because the turbocharged engines are doing the compression work using energy in the exhaust.

Also in this 919, not only are turbos(turbines?) being used to compress more mixture into the car, but also directly to drive a generator. So there must be unused energy in the exhaust (isn't this why highly tuned drag cars have fire literally coming out of the exhaust?)
> The really good content at say the New York Times, Financial Times and the like is behind paywalls

For now, it's "soft" paywalls - they're still indexable by Google, and visible if you come from there.

I'm afraid that, in the near future, they could really become accessible only to those who can pay. And the quality of the free internet would instantly drop many notches.
It depends. IMs are much less asynchronous. I think what's rude is breaking off one conversation into another one, regardless of media. For instance, it's incredibly annoying when someone comes up to me in person and demands attention when I'm in the middle of an important IM conversation with my SO.

An no, my reply can't wait because I had a tempo of conversation, and the person on the other side of the phone can't see that someone interrupted me in person. Face to face conversations transmit out-of-band information through body language, and in the same way electronic conversations transmit out-of-band information through timing. Also reading timing is just as subtle skill as reading faces.

if someone here is offended by this use of the word nerdy, they are completely unaware of themselves.

it's 2015 man, we took the word back. nerdy is cool.
I used to feel this way, until I had the realization one day that almost everybody I know in fact refrains from using their phone even during group interactions. I felt the way you did because people don't use their phones around me in general, so I never had the opportunity to be overly upset about phone usage in the first place, nor did anyone else.

Of course there might be the occasional checking of messages, and nobody minds that, especially in groups. But generally I've found people in my age group (early to mid 20s) to be very mindful of when and how they use their phones. If they are going to text in front of you, I find that they often explain out loud why they're doing it, without your even asking, so you know that they actually are responding to something that needs or deserves a somewhat prompt reply.

The illusion was shattered for me with my former roommate, also former friend. I was really amazed at how he'd just sit on his phone on Facebook whenever we went out together to grab something to eat. He'd often just sit there in silence. What sealed the deal for me and led me to the above realization was how he'd ignore me even if I remarked on something while he was in the midst of his Facebooking. It was so offensive to me that I don't even consider him a friend anymore.

I stand corrected, and I think I've figured it out. Even without burning fuel, in a frictionless system, the decelerating piston would be putting its energy back into the crankshaft? So it draws energy then puts it back every 180 degrees? Takes energy on the acceleration, puts it back on the deceleration?

I suppose the friction is the main loss source then?
That was my knee-jerk reaction, as well. Sort of a less interesting variation on the Olympic flag.
