The difference between a DAWG and the minimized deterministic dictionary automaton is the way they are constructed. Otherwise, the resulting automata should be very similar in size, and of course their running times will be the same. Note that, we build the automata offline.

The main advantage of using general purpose automata becomes clear when we are able to reuse the codebase and the pipelines we built for a dictionary automaton to both build and execute a search automaton. Otherwise, a generalized suffix tree would have done the job at least as well.

In addition, when we have general purpose automata combined with a powerful tool like OpenFST, we can compose the automata with transducers, and the resulting automata will transform the input strings as we are matching them.

I'm an exempt employee, but my time certainly does not all belong to my employer. I realize there are some who do, but I do not check email at midnight. My phone has a do-not-disturb setting that goes from 10 pm to 6 am. If I was asked to forego seeing my family for an extended period of time so I could, say, work on a report until 10 pm every night -- although I would try to help, any more than a small amount of this would be abusive, and I would decline to do it. If this was a real problem, I'd find another job.

Being exempt does not make me a slave. It does not mean all my creative power is used only for my employer. If I were to accept those conditions, I would have to be paid five or ten times more salary -- not even a linear increase, because the time is non-linearly more valuable to me.

I've been at a company that behaves like this. It was completely abusive of the meaning of exempt. I have nothing but contempt for companies like this.

Simple solution, at least for me: don't sign a contract that suggests that everything you think belongs to your employer; or at the very least, take your pound of flesh when you do sign something like that.

Incidentally, even the awful company above changed their contract for me when I refused to sign the over-the-top original document.
The fact that something is banned by HOA agreements hardly proves its risky or even seen as such. I've seen many HOA agreements that ban painting your house a non-approved color.

I'm not sure I follow your comment about detached dwellings and foreign visitors. The biggest issue will be identifying who harmed your property which will be significantly easier if your neighbor used Airbnb as their identification will be on file. Whereas if they just drove by and damaged your property or stayed at your neighbors house through a less formal rental system that will never be as well regulated (Craigslist, local word of mouth, etc.) or a hotel a mile away then it would be much harder to track them down.
Will you rate people who interviewed you for a project/gig on Applygo.com?
Picture this. You’re going in for a job interview. Or you’re going to interview someone. You open the Applygo app (to be built sometime in the future) and look up the people who you’re going to meet. Their information pops up, with a rating by other people they’ve interviewed with in the past. BOOM. A high rating tells that you’re going to love working with this person, and a low rating tells you to run the other way.

Ask HN: Sysadmin vs. engineering
To be a "sysadmin", does it require a degree? Also, is system admin more like being a technician (electrician), rather than say an engineer. What profession is more respected? Like say Dr. vs Nurse, the Dr wins.

Another issue with trackers in the wind is the failure condition can be catastrophic; an actuating arm smashed through the middle of its little array is not a pretty sight after a wind storm.

Excuse my ignorance, but aren't antibiotics meant for humans, tested on us as well?

I think the issue here is that antibiotics being given to animals were not studied for these scenarios. For instance, how they may impact milk and meat quality. Not to mention that they are given to animals in much less "regulated" way, compared to people.

I'm not sure you can do that and still enforce such a policy.
That's true. But, from a human-centric perspective, what matters most is their ability to fight bacterial infections in humans. It's also true that antibiotics are also used inappropriately in medical practice. Pediatricians tend to prescribe them more-or-less as a placebo, to fend off freaked-out parents. Flu suffers also tend to demand them. But there's always some ambiguity, given risk of secondary bacterial infections.

There's no ambiguity in using antibiotics in livestock management to increase feed efficiency. That's just about the money. It either needs to be illegal, or we need some class torts ;)
What happens if you run rm -rf / on Linux?
Eventually, better materials and robotic construction is going to be very cheap and roads will move under ground. Or these overpasses will be built.

Or robotic vehicles will all slow down as animals approach a highway, while other smaller robots (maybe drones) herd them across with sound effects.

One way or another, this problem will be solved. How all these technologies will evolve and which ones will solve it first is anybody's guess.
Prop. 13 could be fixed without forcing people out of their homes.

Instead of capping the tax, we should cap the amount of the tax that actually has to be paid in a year in which the property does not change hands. That number could be limited according to the Prop. 13 formula; the city or county would receive a lien for the difference, that lien not becoming due until the property does change hands.

This wouldn't change anyone's cash flow until the property is sold, at which time the city or county would receive the unpaid amount out of the sale. The unpaid amount will be a fraction of the amount by which the property appreciated (or if its value fell, the unpaid amount will be zero), so this will be relatively painless.

I've read that this has been done somewhere, though I don't recall where. It's clearly possible. No one is forced to sell, and the localities still get their tax money.
Then you are of inestimable value to the project and its intellectual antecedents! You will perhaps find the phonetic encoding for numerals more obviously correct - many's the time I've wanted to share some long hash identifier with a friend across the table, only to have to reiterate when they or I transpose "75555294111..." into "75552941111..." or the like. Even if nothing else from Urbit is adopted, the phonetic numerals are a demonstrably superior human readable format.

Hopefully the tractability of the number base will help bootstrap your familiarity with the ASCII alt-names. When you've poked around Urbit enough to see the ideas described in the link storm above, I would be very interested in discussing them with you (or even to discuss them in a general, non-Urbit context, both are standing offers).
> Some people feel like being altruistic, but feelings are the products of ideas. Ideas can be examined and thrown out when irrational (as in this case).

At the end of the day we all are robot executing a program.Yet saying that serves little purpose. It's as stupid as saying "we're all made of atoms", it doesn't make someone who is pain feel better. There are reasonable solutions today to most problems of mankind. Making a difference is important because we are all on the same "boat". No man is an island, even nihilists like you aren't.
What on earth are "Human" antibiotics?

Simple – antibiotics approved for use to treat human illness.
The problem is that when they're used indiscriminately, whether on humans who don't need them, or on livestock, bacteria develop resistance.
The Middle-Class Squeeze
In Grand County, Colorado, where I live, there happens to be a project to build just such an overpass happening right now:

https://www.codot.gov/projects/sh9wildlife

http://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/09/21/cdot-wildlife-overpass...

This stretch of highway is so populated with wildlife that we would often see a handful of new unfortunate strikes every morning, and most everyone around had a story of a near miss or a hit. Underpasses and overpasses are being utilized and a fence runs along both sides to funnel the animals to them.

A fence was put in place along I-70 near us and has been rather effective but there are no underpasses and no overpasses in that implementation. In our area, the wildlife need to travel to the Blue River on one side of the highway for water and back up the mountains on the other side of the highway to graze (and give birth, etc.)

Money was raised not only from government sources but from a local resident pledge drive as well as a very gracious benefactor who owns land in the affected area.
Like Aaron mentioned, the renderer was originally split into a separate DLL because we hit the limits of Microsoft's linker at the time. Later, we ended up relying on that split for disabling win32k inside the sandbox (otherwise we would have had to deal with a bunch of broken USER and GDI initializations).

As for the remaining DLLs, it mostly comes down to licensing concerns. We don't include proprietary code in our main binaries, and in order to simplify IP concerns it's often best to split such code into other DLLs. For example, you asked about libegl.dll and libglesv2.dll, which I believe include a licensed copy of the SwiftShader library.

It's also worth pointing out that the performance impact of having a single, static binary in Windows is much less significant than it used to be. So, were we starting Chrome today I'm not so sure we'd make the same decision.

The idea is not to charge the e-cars overnight at home, but during the day at the company parkhouse or parking lots, so that the energy companies can unload energy during the peak hours from those batteries. That's the most expensive energy, and car batteries are perfect for that. Win-win.
What are some of the reasons it's hard to design a good messaging protocol?
Well, the Hopeless Diamond (F-117 model) was 15 years _after_ this plane. This plane clearly had some of the early thoughts on lowering RCS though, similar to the SR-71 Blackbird.

There were no facets on this plane because that really only came about after Ufimtsev's paper described how to calculate RCS. Computers at the time of the Hopeless Diamond/Have Blue/F-117 couldn't run those calculations on curved surfaces. Which meant Ben Rich's team used the flat surfaces (I don't recall exactly who suggested it, but it's in the book).

I'd also be curious if Boeing had any thoughts in the areas of radar absorbtion/dispersing paint in the 60s. I recall the SR-71 Blackbird had some of those properties in it's paint (though the paint was mainly used for cooling).

I don't think this is a fair comparison. First, neither a "sysadmin" or system/network engineer specifically require a degree, although a degree can be helpful in finding employment for either depending on where you want to work (Silicon Valley less requirement, government contractor probably going to be a requirement). And I wouldn't say either is more respected specifically, although you will often find that engineer is a career progression from sysadmin. However, I know many people that have made great careers and are highly respected in their field being sysadmins. I would say the engineer is like being the architect of the building, while the sysadmin is more hands-on builder and daily maintainer. It is more a preference of what you want to do with your career. If you like having a hands-on, maintenance, troubleshooter role then sysadmin is the way to go. If you like building, designing systems, planning, then the engineer position is the way to go.
Mongodb mongoimport/mongoexport already uses this format. It would be nice to get it formalized with a recognised file extension and mimetype.
Well, most people share more with Google (search text) that with their closest friends. And most of them are just fine with that. Until of course they are in the spotlight. Since that almost never happens, we have this privacy apathy going on.
> if you had a language, which uses { and }, would you call it a C, if it is 100% incompatible to any line of C written out there?

No, but nobody else would either. For Lisp and Forth dialects, people seem to accept that they are not all backwards compatible with a specific implementation or spec, but are the same family of languages. [1]

Clojure's and Racket's official docs both refer to the languages as Lisp dialects (Racket) or Lisps (Clojure). Other reputable sources also consider them to be dialects of Lisp.

If it doesn't meet your own prescriptive criteria for being called a Lisp, that's fine, but the parent is only being pragmatic in using the same sense that is widely used and accepted.

[1] FWIW, I've always read "is a Lisp"/"Lisps" as "is a Lisp dialect"/"Lisp dialects" and think that most others do as well. Not necessarily married to implementation details or compatibility.
We created our microservice router in Elixir. It is rock solid and even the deployment is a breeze with exrm.

I'm not clear how it is Airbnb's fault if they don't have much availability in Kittanning, PA (population 4000). I found two places for rent there which honestly seems pretty decent. The median age is 40 in that area so it doesn't surprise me that Airbnb didn't catch on as quickly there as Brooklyn. You also underestimate the degree to which word of mouth helps two-sided marketplaces spread in urban areas.

As for the claim that "these companies" are "pushing all of the risks onto individuals", I would cite the $1,000,000 insurance policy that Airbnb provides the host to take the risk off of them: https://www.airbnb.com/guarantee
Don't make all of your money from a property tax that does not increase as your costs to provide services increase.

There are options besides property tax for raising tax revenue. City-level local income tax is the first thing that comes to mind.

Sytse, we use gitlab enterprise edition at packetzoom (Our VP eng is a major gitlab contributor). We'd love nothing more than have a proper chat system with good native clients.

There's some new physics result about how black holes interact with the quantum foam? I can't build anything practical with it, so beyond "that's interesting" it doesn't really matter to me.

Some food is suddenly found to cause cancer in rats? Unless it's fairly new, the effect on humans can't be all that strong or we'd have noticed by now. Something else will probably kill me first (like whatever the medical term for "old age" is these days).

Someone's claiming that some particular aspect of modern diet causes obesity? It would have to either make you feel lethargic (lower calories out) or make you hungrier (raise calories in). Both of which are directly observable and easily correlated to the contents of recent meals, without having to argue over mechanisms and confounders and personalized gut bacteria and such.

There's a new higher estimate for the percent of scientific results that are fake or poorly done or just statistical noise? This does help for knowing how not-seriously to take everything, but beyond "that's too damn high" the exact numbers aren't all that relevant (unless you're testing a fix).

Someone wants money to research AI risk? Are they looking at how to build safe AI, or how to prevent anyone either carelessly or deliberately building unsafe AI? Only the second is worth looking into further.
Here is the difference:

If you try to replicate a fact, you'll succeed
If you try to disprove a fact, you'll fail
If you find rebuttles to a fact, they'll be hollow

The only thing in the obvious list that doesn't separate a fact from a non-fact is the arguments in support. Hence why scientists are taught not to care for arguments in support, only research, and then specifically arguments that disprove more than those that prove.
When you use them on livestock you can guarantee they will be used indiscriminately... with the respective consequences.

So, given that twitter's core customers will love it, I'm not sure why it's an "awful idea".

All we have is some vague assertion that "But when you poll someone, you deter them from making their true voice heard." Because what twitter needs is more people shouting their opinions on every random subject?
That's tough. Interesting concept, but I think there are a few flaws:

1. A person that does not interview well may tend to provide a lower rating. This ties into personality as well.

2. Basing your decision to work at a company off a single point of input such as a specific interviewer's score, is narrow minded. The company could be a great place to work and/or the interviewer could be a great person to work with; however, they are just a poor interviewer.

3. In cases where the interviewer/interviewee may already know each other well, the review could be skewed.

With these two things in mind though, I think there is a market here, just not in the way you are approaching it here. I would sell it as a service to HR departments. After a company completes an interview, the interviewee gets an email asking them to rate their interviewer. The company can in turn use that feedback to adjust their interview process, and/or possibly remove an interviewer from a position if they continuously have poor feedback.

Identity management and encryption should strive to be associated with concepts of strength, integrity, legitimacy, trust, cleanliness and safety.

Owners give a crap. Long term renters less so. Short term renters not at all.
I'm sure that it isn't all smelling roses and cashing checks, but rental property in San Francisco is literally a license to print money for many landlords.

Simply by virtue of having owned the property for several decades, you stand to make a significant amount of money from tenants.

Consider someone who has owned a property since the 80's. This person might have paid $600,000 for something valued at double that amount today. Their mortgage (if they even still have one) is $2400/mo, property tax works out to $500/mo, and they can charge $4000/mo for rent.

Lots of people in lots of places around the world rent their properties out for far lower returns.
