There's indeed a case to back you up:

>Air-launched weapons like cruise missiles must endure hours of sub-freezing temperatures at high altitudes while riding their carrier aircraft. Weaponeers successfully subjected the W-80’s components – including the IHE – to temperatures down to -65 Fahrenheit – during development.

>But when actually tested in Shot Baseball during Operation Guardian in January 1981, the W-80 fizzled. The new nuke failed to ignite its fusion secondary and produced only a fraction of its intended yield. The IHE proved to be the culprit. It didn’t burn well at very low temperatures.

That is an interesting idea. Has anyone tried anything, even a poor attempt, at something like that? Even as just an art piece, it would be an interesting medium.
Same here. One particular thing about fish is problems with OTHER people’s scripts that don’t setup their shebangs properly, and start causing all kinds of fuss.

We had this really old build system that worked, but man, it was riddled with a lot of scripts that did not declare the shebang and used all trickery shell scripting. It took almost a month to fix them and make them more portable. It was good, because I converted three people to fish after that. :)
The logo of the app looks like a Chinese bank logo. A lot of Chinese - and to a certain point Vietnamese - banks have logos with square inside a circle, since that's how Chinese money used to look like.

Your link points to some math review book by the same author.

I believe the author meant the drillbook such as https://issuu.com/normagee/docs/scanavi_sbornik_konkursnih_z....
You are mistaken. I have not changed any links. Those links were and are both there still next to each other.

Even if the article were some sort of political argument (I guess one could interpret it that way in the sense of internal design politics and management) it should not call into question its validity.
Cynically speaking, this is win-win for everyone involved. Except for the innocents who are killed.

The US gets to debug and optimize their assassination program "on brown people that noone cares about".

Pakistan and US also get to claim that they are "fighting terrorism". This breeds resentment and new generations of terrorists to be "fought" in the future (divide and conquer 101).

Plus, who knows when and where the droid program might come in handy in the future...

It's been obvious for a very long time that up-/downvoting is just a horribly broken mechanism. Much more so, if it's upvoting only. Twitter tries to ameliorate that with the ability to block people, but that's just a crutch.

The solution is laughably simple in theory, but it seems to keep getting ignored: Don't use a simple sum of votes.
Instead use some method - any method really - to weight the votes of users depending how much their past voting behaviour correlates with your own.

I've been writing about this over six years ago, for example here:

Using SIMD instructions (MMX/SSE/AVX)
○ Most operators limited to floats but recently more general purpose (integer) vector operations have been supported
○ Registers keep increasing in size -- the next generation of CPUs will have 512 byte registers which may be sufficient

Nobody uses MMX these days, SSE and AVX are not mostly limited to floating point, and AVX-512 is 512 bits, not bytes.
They're entirely overlooking genetics in this. Different people process different amounts of alcohol differently quickly. I've seen people with decades of experience with alcohol get unreasonable after some beers, and have a shit time the entire next day. Meanwhile i and my motherly line of ancestors can drink (compared to the people around us) ridiculous amounts of alcohol really quickly, and for extended amounts of time, sober up quickly, stay in control throughout, and not suffer hangover.

It's also not entrainment. My parents and grandparents drink daily, and not in small amounts either, while i drink maybe 6 times or so a year and i have exactly the same kind of quick processing and resistance as they do.

Interestingly it may be related to the fact that my motherly line of ancestors has a lot of east-european blood in it.
That's true. In the EU, it's the context of the relationship itself that determines exclusivity, I have never seen people needing to declare it explicitly.

> Whether a meeting has a romantic interest is never really expressed

That's because to most Europeans a meeting is just a meeting, a pleasant way to spend some time in conversation and maybe getting to know a person better. Romantic interest, a friendship, or an acquaintanceship, may develop from that. If it doesn't end up being romantic in nature, that doesn't usually mean the meet-up is considered a failure.

Now, I would contrast that sharply with "player" behavior (as applied to both sexes), which is virtually the same in both the US and the EU.

I would agree with you generally, but I always have kind of wondered if there was a way to use some sort of internal pricing/phoney currency to schedule work.

In many cases we are trying to balance how much "value" an item has with how long it will take to implement.

I wonder if project managers could place a price on item and let developers pick from a list based on how much effort they think it will take them, if we could get a more efficient system.

I'm not an Apple guy so let me ask a naive question: is this even close to a functional equivalent? Quick research makes this look like just mounting a remote filesystem.

Not sure I see that as a bad thing.

When learning a new language for a real problem, I'll go back to things I've written before and rewrite them in the new language.

The core logic is already figured out, so the exercise helps me match up constructs and try to apply the new language idiomatically. Then I can go back to my original problem with more ideas about how to use the new language effectively.

Plus, it's fun.
From a user's perspective maybe (although I find the usefulness of that thing highly questionable on a current Windows 10 computer, it doesn't even have a touch friendly official youtube app last time I checked).

Honestly this is the main problem. As a developer is common for me to ask about good books about a new topic I'm going to study (new programming language), but on SO such things are banned. You cannot ask an opinion on something you are working on. And since a lot of stuff are subjective, the more experienced you get, the less SO becomes useful. Hence resorting to Quora

If USSR would get capability to kill GPS satellites, U.S. nuclear subs could not target their missiles anymore. The rest of U.S. nuclear arsenal is in B2 bombers in known airfields and ICBM's in known silos. So by using their ICBM's to knock off airfields and silos, USSR could theoretically kill U.S. nuclear cabability withouht being hit.

This would mean that "pre-emptive" strike is suddenly lot sweeter deal for U.S. Alternatively restart midgetman program. Yay, more nukes.

This would be "destabilizing" technology. I hope it goes nowhere.
Many people think the term arose because of the dominance of French in diplomatic circles, but I t's actually quite apropos; "lingua franca" is an early medieval term that essentially translates to "language of the Western Europeans" ("Franca" in this context is not modern France, but a term for historical Germany -- everything north of modern Spain, essentially). In the day, lingua franca was a patois consisting of bits of various languages that all traders in the region knew and could communicate in, though it was too mutable to be a stable language as such. Not unlike English, actually!
The title is incorrect, it says "It's time to kill the $100 bill" rather than "It's time to kill the 500 eur note", in light of yesterday's ECB vote (reported by Handelsblatt) to ban the 500 eur note.
This is really cool. The next logical thing is to extend it to allow multiple meanings for the same word with the same type. For example "lead is a heavy element" vs "I own a dog lead". Not sure how you'd do that without explicitly giving each unique word an ID and manually annotating the training data.

This is absolute bullshit. The problem is that we need a military that is actually going to man the fuck up when an O-5+ decides to push some unconstitutional program on the people.

What has happened isnt that hippy academia is jacking up the military, but rather that the military has been kicking out the kind of people who arent afraid to tell truth to power, and are increasingly making choices and then only hiring people who tell them those choices are good and what they want to hear.

I have spent the majority of my free time since I got out trying to understand what the fuck is going on here, and the reality is that our generals failed our military by allowing the neocons to push us into wars for dubious reasons. Thats even counting the real reasons no one talks about, such as upcoming resource wars and a return to a tripolar world.

No, the real problem is that we have barely had a real president since the new world order bunch assassinated JFK (and RFK), because that was a very clear message to any POTUS willing to actually stand up. (Dont get me wrong, JFK was far from perfect...)

We now have institutional corruption from the top down in every single branch of government, including the famed fourth estate which has been turned into stenographers weekly. Corruption and incompetence are running rampant, and are acting as a cover for the malicious string pullers (Hanlons razor is a logical fallacy!)

So no, its not that the goddamn hippies have fucked up the military, its much closer to the military and its propoganda programs have so far infiltrated academia that its a lifeless shell of what it could and should be in this internet age.

Keep in mind though, its the military who has pushed this though. While the three letters have carried out operations similar to mockingbird (thank you church comittee), its the globalist new world order group who have pushed it on their controlled government puppets. (Read up on what Norman Dodd found during the Reese Committee for more info)

Yes, you are correct we need a smarter military, but just having "smart people" join up wont do it. You need change from the POTUS down, because beleive you me, we have turned mental deconstruction and reconstruction into an art form.

If this follows the usual trajectory, we'll have a sort-of-working implementation of Vulkan 1.0 in OS X 10.13 (although it will kernel panic if you look at it the wrong way).

But maybe Apple's stance on Vulkan is different now due to their own Metal API? Is Apple involved in Vulkan at all?

NOT a successor. It's a very different beast. It's frequently described as a "low-level" API, but "explicit API" is more correct. It gives you control (and responsibility) for things that happen behind your back in OpenGL, e.g. semantics of sharing of resources between the CPU and the GPU, explicit separate access to many GPUs, explicit separation of command buffer building and submission etc.

It will live side-by-side with OpenGL for the foreseeable future. It's just targeting the same general area (graphics using GPUs) and is standardized by the same folks (Khronos).
As a citizen of the world, this is a ridiculous idea that I hope never happens.

The lengths you mentioned are lambdas - factors for on-die features. This means that some part of the transistor cannot be smaller than lambda-size square. Usually, they are much bigger and often are of equal size even for wastly different lambdas.

Here's a table for SPARC CPUs, with process lambda, die size and transistor count: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC#SPARC_microprocessor_imp...

If transistors would reduce with lambda, then for two-fold reduction you would get four fold increase of density. Difference in density between T4 and T2 (90 and 40 hn processes) is less than two.

The static leakage you mentioned is mainly due to sizes of transistor parts.

You should also know that NVidia uses humans as chip designers (they can afford that), not an automatic process like some fabless companies use.

And now I get to my main point: NVidia overshot with 28nm and got transistors features that were too small, probably, due to not all that good software they used to calculate models. They continue to overshoot for 5 years until they corrected their overshoot. It has nothing to do with process lambda. It is process error in NVidia.
Show HN: Introducing Startup.py for B2B SaaS
I never quite understood Leica. The quality of their products is undoubtedly extremely high, I won't try to deny that and they deserve credit for decades of excellence in the field.

But as the owner of a Voigtländer R4A coupled with a Nokton 35mm f/1.4 (bought for a total of $1200, which was quite the investment for me) I can't help but be amazed by how much it would have cost me to buy the Leica equivalent (5 times that amount). It's quite obvious looking at the results that Leica does not offer that superior a result for that hefty price (and even though I know that it's a tad simplistic to reason in those terms, it certainly wouldn't have bought me 5 times the quality).

Leica reminds me of Apple, it's all about status and perceived value. Hats off to them for reaching that lucrative niche market.
