I usually just do something like this:

var loop = function() {
for (var i=0; i<1000; i++) {
// do stuff
}
setTimeout(loop, 0);
}

It might not be as fast in some cases, but it works for me.
It depends on how you define illness. Something can have no negative effects and still be wrong. Compare a missing small toe, perhaps.

>Between 70 and 90 cent of people who hear voices do so following traumatic events.

That sort of implies that things are not 100% okay in there.
At first I agreed with swombat, but on reflection (and after digging up the thread you're referring to) I think you have a point.

I think you need to spell it out in more detail, though. I would put it this way to someone like guard-of-terra: It's fine to say that you don't want to live in Russia, and it's fine to explain why. The politics, the institutions, the culture are all fair game. It's also fine to express as an opinion your opinion that a lot of Russians would rather live somewhere else. But attacks on people, even Russians in general, are not okay. So for example, "No one in their right mind would want to live there" says that anyone who likes it there is not in their right mind. That's a personal attack.

Some no frills car sharing companies make their users clean the car. And if you get a dirty car you can order a new one and the previous driver gets billed. And small one person Robo cars could also be build much simpler and cheaper.
The problem where one square of each is colour is removed is much more interesting. It's not obvious to me why it should always be possible to solve that problem, regardless of which squares are removed, but apparently it is.

I wonder if it can be proved without resorting to looking at classes of cases (removed squares right next to each other, removed squares with two squares between them, etc)?
Japan has a lot of low cost land.

According to the most recent land ministry survey conducted in 2013, there are 8.2 million vacant residences in Japan, 39 percent of which are designated as “abandoned,” meaning they are not for sale or rent. The portion of abandoned houses found in the previous survey, conducted in 2008, was 35 percent, and since 200,000 houses are demolished every year in Japan, the increase in the number is actually steeper than the percentage difference would indicate.
Check the Orion project (Freeman Dyson's son wrote a good book). We could have been further out than Mars... 40 years ago. :-(

The motto was "Mars by 1965, Saturn by 1970" (but that was probably optimistic... by maybe five years or so. :-) )

And sure, there was talk about a failed launch increasing the background radiation by 1%. Some cancer risk would arguably be cheap to get an industrial infrastructure outside the atmosphere.

(Also note the implications for the Great Filter theory regarding the Fermi paradox. With a bunch or Orion launches starting in the 1970s we could have viable colonies somewhere between now and 2030. So any big catastrophe as filter would need to sterilize a whole solar system, not just a planet.)

I do have a quick question. I am running a LAMP stack with the A standing for Apache. I put an "Index.html" and an "Index.php" file in my "www" folder. I realize that new files append old files. However, I want to add a ".htaaccess" file with DIRECTORY prioritization for the PHP file over the HTML.

I tried copying an htaaccess file via the gcloud command line tool but I got an error. I've been looking through help, faqs, and searched but haven't seen a solution as of yet. Did I miss something? Thanks!
I was a Thinkpad guy for about a decade. However, this time around, I went with a refurbished Dell Precision M4800 instead. This is mostly due to the numerous articles I've read bemoaning Lenovo for crappy 'modern' designs, pre-installed malware, etc.

Thanks for the reply! I was just thinking I should have that on by default.

I'll add an explanation of what's happening.
Yes - there is a simple, clear, elegant way to see that removing one square of each colour leaves the board coverable. It's even given in the article.
The author put a lot of work into this (I assume). "Lol" and then dismissing their work isn't very nice. You should ask yourself if this is the type of comment you would say in person (because the author is likely reading these comments).

> aspiring entrepreneurs [...] finding a worthwile idea to pursue

Something about that phrase creates a knee-jerk reaction along the lines of "this is what's wrong with SV culture today, people deciding to 'follow a path of entrepreneurship' without an idea, team, experience or the means". I'm not sure it's a valid way of thinking, but I would still struggle to call a person without these things and entrepreneur or even aspiring entrepreneur, no matter how resourceful and smart they are.

Calling passwd on each host (imagine hundred of them for tens of users) and manually setting same password is not the way to go. The idea is to have same password will be setted up on numerous amount of nodes without storing or transferring it.

SSH keys are good, but there are always should be rescue password which can be entered via IPMI or by physically attaching to the server. Also, `sudo` password (which is also handled by /etc/shadow) is a good measure on production servers and should be set somehow. shadowd resolves it.

Really? Just by looking at the figure, bruteforcing for a couple of minutes and then noticing a solution which gives the same problem but 6x6 instead of 8x8, I was able to solve this without even pen and paper. Unless you're talking about an extremely abstract class of problems, I don't think that statement is true.

Not sure if I'm reading this right but per the NCHS (via the CDC)[1][2][3], in 2013, for people aged 15-24, ~6500 died relating to motor vehicle injuries whereas ~6000 died relating to firearms (although ~2000 of those were suicides -- not sure how that factors in, but it's probably important). Anyways, it seems like an awful lot of people kill themselves with guns, so perhaps we should just consider it a binary: if something is lethal, treat it with all the care you can muster.

Sorry but no, this is just not the right way to do it.

with SSSD there is no excuse for not using AD/LDAP.

Having done both, shipping /etc/passwd and using AD, its far more effective, secure, and crucially stable to have LDAP/AD as the single source of truth.

Its not like its difficult anymore, you can even buy in AD from AWS. (just don't try and do machine accounts, you're better off using puppet/ansible for that sort of thing.)

Think about it, you wouldn't ship /etc/hosts anymore would you? why do the same with user accounts.
Well, here is something that recently occurred to me:

I'm a member of a typical 2 car suburban family. I work and my wife is a stay-at-home mom. Truthfully, I only need a car to get myself to and from work, while my wife needs a car for ferrying kids to and from school (and activities), shopping, errands, etc. Thus, we need two cars.

My car spends most of its day sitting in the parking lot at my office building, unneeded. However, if I can drive myself to work and then order my car to drive itself home for my wife to use (who would hopefully send the car to come and fetch me at the end of the workday), we could easily become a one car family. Which would be nice. Of course, I live about a half an hour from my workplace -- this might not work as well with a 2 hour commute.

Oh brother. I guess if you're using the strict definition that a product is only something people pay for, then you may be right, but in the more generally accepted meaning that a Google product is something Google makes that people outside of Google use, you're just flat out wrong.

The point of a baseline grid in design is to relate elements sitting next to one another - say a picture sitting in a flow of text should hit the baseline of the text and perhaps x-height at the top, or a heading sitting in a column beside another col of text sits on the same baseline. This system doesn't provide that and there are many typographic crimes on this page:

Many head sizes are smaller than main text.

Heads do not sit with the paragraphs they belong to but float in a huge canyons of space - this is basic typography.

Heads mix fonts in the same heading - OK for raygun maybe, not ok for normal use.

Text cols overlap at many widths, and main text is allowed to be too short and too wide.

There's a grid, but nothing sits on it or relates to it (baseline, x-height, cap-height etc). If a grid is shown it should be a baseline grid, and text should be locked to it at least in some cases, somewhere on the page. Looks like the grid is off.

The blurb talks about 'vertical rhythm', but the styles don't display this - instead the two columns are unrelated and jarring - the only thing aligning is the main copy, but that means of course that heads have those awful gaps above and below - a nasty tradeoff which isn't worth it.

You must not live in the same world I do. I get paid to show people messaging they want to see.

Do you get paid by vision-impaired users to represent them? Great! Do that.

And this nonsense about design ignoring the vision impaired is misinformed. Now that we're able to accurately represent content using the full spectrum of HTML, accessibility is better than ever.

This is tangential, but...

We had a futurist from Intel visit our small startup about two years ago for a future planning/predicting exercise. I think we were not the correct audience for these exercises though, due to the small size of our company.

What I learned from the exercise was that companies as large and influential as Intel don't have to follow market trends or predict "how things will be" because they are not subjects of some natural market--they _define_ the market.

It seemed crazy to me to have exercises planning 20+ years into the future, but Intel necessarily has to do this due to the size of the ship they're piloting.

Ask HN: Is there a market for a multi-computer remote control app?
Back in school a friend of mine and me created an app prototype for controlling multiple computers at once. Since there was no screen sharing, there were just basic tasks like shutting down computers, sharing a file, running an app, etc., but you could run them on hundreds or thousands of computers with a single click.

He is not interested in this anymore, but I'm thinking about rebuilding everything from scratch (the old one was built with Delphi and PHP - yes, don't laugh, a TCP socket server in PHP CLI). The only problem is, I'm not sure there is a market for a software like this, since now everyone is into TeamViewer and other 1-to-1 screen-sharing remote control tools. Who would use this app? Maybe schools for managing their computers in classrooms/computer labs?

Another question is, if I decide to create it and make it paid, which model will be the best?

- Selling the app server and the customers will have to install it on their own machine/VPS

- Running the app servers myself and selling it as a SaaS

- Both

The client software for the slave machines would be available for free of course.
All this means is that MS is hedging their investments. Now for every dollar a Sony game makes (that has the Havok engine), MS is going to get a cut.

Yes, but I don't see the relevance. Ansible is turing-complete, as are all the alternatives in that space AFAIK.

"Practitioners will often 'cheat' by assigning everything the same mass. This could lead to an arm having the same inertia as a foot"

It's fairly common to see totally bogus masses and inertia tensors in simulation. Especially inertia tensors. (Long thin objects have much higher moments of inertia in one axis. This is expressed as a 3x3 inertia tensor.) In my Animats "Falling Bodies" system, everything was composed of convex polyhedrons. For valid non-self-intersecting polyhedra, there's a straightforward way to integrate the total mass and the inertia tensor, developed by Brian Mirtich.[1] I used that to compute the mass properties automatically, without any help from the user. Density was assumed to be that of water unless overridden. That's a good approximation for humans and animals, but high for vehicles with lots of open interior volume.

Before finding Mirtich's paper, I was dividing convex polyhedra into tetrahedrons with one vertex at the barycenter of the polyhedron, computing the inertia tensor for each tetrahedron, translating them to the object center, and adding them up. It's clunky, but it works. Mirtich's method is much cleaner, and will work for all closed non-self-intersecting polyhedra.

There's no excuse for a simulation system not computing the mass properties. Expecting users to input an inertia tensor by hand is hopeless. (Looking at you, Gazebo.)

Here's a good basic test for proper inertia handling - a spinning top.[2] (Raw MP4 file, may need download before playing). That's from an early test of my Falling Bodies around 1996-1997. It spins smoothly, while precessing and wobbling, slows down due to the friction with the ground, and eventually falls over and rolls away. Try that in your physics engine. The better ones get it right.

It depends. You can have many development servers/nodes, which are infrastructurally "inside" the company and is not accessible from outside. They should be managed somehow, security requirements can be considerably less than at production cluster, and as an example it's always good to have rescue password for the ops team that can be used to login to the server in case of it's unresponsible in any other way.

Also, shadowd do not make assumption about same password distribution, it can handle any amount of passwords by your choice, depending on severity and importance of service.

I know I've heard this before, and I've not taken an evolutionary biology class before so I do give a lot of weight to the idea that there is little influence at the group level, but one of the first paragraphs states: "As of yet, there is no clear consensus among biologists regarding the importance of group selection."

In particular, when selecting for war, there's a clear individual level selection pressure: if you don't cooperate with your group, you likely die. This is a just so story, I have no idea how irrationality actually developed, but say you have small groups of hunter gatherers and one individual develops a preference for cooperating in raids against their best interest. If this means that on average you now have two versus one whenever this individual participates, there's a clear competitive advantage which could allow that gene to propagate. The key here in this hypothetical is that the mutation occurs at the individual level in a lone individual, who then cooperates with someone else who wouldn't necessarily follow them, but is happy to have the help. This results in a disproportionate gain (100%) in effectiveness vs lone opponents. As time evolves, the gene becomes more widespread by its early disproportionate effectiveness and groups that fail to cooperate are killed on average, thus eliminating individual competitor genes.

Again, I have no idea how war actually evolved, but it seems easy to believe that when a trait influences whether one group kills another, that it would cause the killers to have a reproductive advantage. I'd love someone more educated on this topic to send me up though.
But really, it's the only sane way.

> In Some Cultures...

Which would imply that in other cultures, this is not the case. And, based on the wording of this headline, would further suggest that such circumstances vary statistically (...or maybe just anecdotally) at the cultural level?

So, what cultures provoke the no-so-nice voices. And what does that say about the culture in question?

Or maybe it's all just link bait.

Maybe.
Not a nutrition expert, but I'm given to understand that the form of the sugar matters as much as the amount. The sugar in an actual apple is apparently bound up in fibers or something, so basically it takes time for your body to process it and get it into the bloodstream. When you turn that apple into apple juice, even if it's entirely natural, you've freed the sugar to be absorbed by your body much faster.

That speed of absorption makes the difference - your body doesn't know what to do with so much sugar at once, so it processes it into fat and other things. Let it out more slowly, and it can actually use most of it for energy.

No, it's really that easy: Clearly the complete coverings with dominoes biject to matchings of the graph with vertices = squares and edges defined by 2-sets of squares sharing an edge on the chessboard. Clearly this graph is bipartite, but the two elements of the bipartision are of different cardinality. Thus no perfect matching can exist.

> Is it worth rinsing plastic to recycle it? I've wondered about this. Sounds like it probably isn't unless it takes only a small amount of rinsing.

The article argues that it isn't if you rinse in hot water, which was heated by electricity (not gas), which came from a coal power plant. That seems like a comparison which is set up to make recycling look bad. I've never had any problems just rinsing plastic with cold water or leftover dish water, in which case it sounds like it's still worth it.
