This is a very, very deep rabbit hole. The kind which people make PhD's and careers out of digging into this hole. Actually, it's several holes.

Loading large worlds while maintaining a high frame rate? It's one deep problem for Skyrim-style worlds. Another for shooters. Yet another for Minecraft. Shadows are yet another deep problem, and so is ambient occlusion, and any number of lighting/rendering techniques.

In other words, you're not really in tutorial territory anymore. You're in article/paper territory.
Same here (but 40-45 minutes). I actually find myself looking forward to the commute almost every day. Should have done this long ago. It helps being able to change clothes at the office though.

That post seems strangely specific, am I missing some context?
There are Common Lisp bindings to most of the common GUI toolkits like QT and GTK and OpenGL, there have been Carbon bindings for the Mac and probably there are some native Windows bindings. As most Common Lisp implementations have an interface to call C functions, there are no fundamental limits to what you could do.
For basic needs, there is also a binding to TK written entirely in Lisp (http://www.peter-herth.de/ltk/index.html) which is simple to install and use.

It does if they manage to get in a position where they "own" enough of what you're using so that they can force their choices on you.

Red Hat has been in such a position for a long time now, and their world domination agenda has been steadily hurting non-enterprise Linux users in a higher and higher proportion.

The signature is used to help convict criminals.

It's a small part of a package of evidence that proves intent to deceive. If I use someone else's credit card I can lie and say it was an accident. I use someone else's credit card and sign their name, not my name, on the slip it's harder for me to make the same lie.
The Internet was pretty civil before the riff-raff got easy access. USENET was fun, informative, and most groups had more than a modicum of civility.

Any site that monetizes with advertorials is uncivil; and any online forum can foster civility by having and strictly enforcing a code of conduct.

No, you cannot "change the rule that limits the final supply of bitcoin to 21 million units" through a softfork. You can indeed append an "extension record" with "extension transactions" that generate and transfer whatever number of extension coins you like as https://np.reddit.com/r/bitcoin_uncensored/comments/43w24e/r... lays out, but you can never ever convert those extension coins into ordinary Bitcoins that existing nodes accept as valid. You've basically created a very elaborate altcoin as a sidechain of Bitcoin.

This is not the technique that segregated witness uses. All SegWit transactions are on-chain transactions that are visible to existing clients, which means that the coin cap and all the other Bitcoin rules still apply and the coins from them can subsequently be sent to non-SegWit clients - the only thing that's not available to older nodes is the information about who's allowed to spend SegWit transactions. It's similar to the P2SH fork a few years back in that respect. (That's also why the effective block size gain is limited. Any further increases are planned to be done through a hard fork.)

Now, technically of course 51%+ of miners could refuse to accept standard Bitcoin transactions of any kind and force everyone onto their extension chain. In fact, they could even declare a day zero after which they refused to accept any existing transactions or coins as valid, resetting the whole thing as an extension chain. This is an unavoidable consequence of miners being able to decide which valid transactions they accept - Bitcoin simply relies on the majority of miners not trying to shut the whole thing down.
I don't want to further derail this thread, but I'm happy to,take this conversation to email if you would like. Address is in my profile.
Depends what you mean by confirm.

The settlement doesn't happen for about 5 days although your bigger acquirers may settle daily, and chargebacks are possible up to a month after that. The difference between credit card networks and the bitcoin network is that the credit card network will guarantee the payment to the merchant/acquirer provided they follow the rules of the network.

In Europe, it is already somewhat common to make online purchases with bank transfers (I built my PC this way). In that case the actual non-reversible transfer of funds takes 1 business day by law. There are no fees involved, which is what makes it attractive.

If by confirmation you mean actual non-transferable payment, then it is about 30 days for credit card. If by confirm you mean "probably going to get paid, because of insurance" then yes, that happens in about 10 seconds. There is a big difference between the two, as many of the merchants in the US who have not yet shifted over to EMV are finding out.
Start writing things which are useful to people who advertise across AdWords/Facebook/Instagram, or who should advertise across AdWords/Facebook/Instagram. Capture email addresses on those pages, trading them for some immediate value plus the promise of additional things 2X per month or so that will be useful to them. An easy way to provide immediate value is with a guide to constructive creatives and/or landing pages which convert well on the various platforms.

Promoting your content is a lot easier than promoting your offering, which you'll be doing primarily to people who are pulled in by the content. You can give away the content and charge for the software. You can also reach out to people with relevant audiences like e.g. SmashingMagazine and offer them additional free, exclusive high-quality writing in return for permission to link their readers back to your website, where you'll have a specially prepared guide for SmashingMagazine readers at the ready.

There's no cash cost to writing a mountain, and no particular barrier which makes it any harder to do from India than it is from Ogaki or Kansas.
I had a herniated disc - incredibly painful and it had terrible affects on my mood and my weight as well. I found that most of the effective treatments were ones that put me in a better mental state even if they had no effect on the pain. As someone else said; trust results!

Can you please send a link to your blogpost to EU leadership and some EU nations' leaders? Right now we have probably 3 situations that have spiraled out of control. And getting worse by the hour.
A car is not the most effective weapon, so I think it matters with which robots get equipped.

It's an interesting word choice: "accurate ethical modeling". Given certain "ethical priors" what we do depends on what we have encountered in life. Soldiers are humans with siblings, parents, wives, pets, homes, etc. that allows them to train what they ought to do in a wide range of situations. If we start to train robots only in the art of killing people, or even only in deescalating dangerous situations, this is a very impoverished dataset.

I would never want an AI that is able to kill people, but that I don't trust to hold my baby.
I disagree. The best monetized site I've seen had a direct relationship with the advertiser, no ad blocking as the banners were local content, spot on topic and tasteful.

Yeah, Freedman's paradox is definitely part of what I'm alluding to. The other aspect is that for widely studied phenomena, some groups are likely to come to wrong conclusions just due to statistical error. E.g., if 100 groups independently investigating whether "Eating chocolate is associated with improved brain function" (and we'll assume it's false, just to make my point), a few are likely going to come to the conclusion that it's true. Even worse, some studies with "expected" results may not be published (either by choice of the investigator or by the reviewers); instead, the "interesting" or "exciting" results will get published.
I remember there was a similar headline to this — comparing the high ratio of chocolate-eating to non-chocolate-eating Nobel laureates — in the Fall of 2012.

My Quantitive Methods lecturer used it as a perfect example of the correlation/causation fallacy; it was certainly a good way of lightening the mood at a 9am Friday lecture :)
Given the sheer amount of laws and regulations, how easy is it really for first time CEOs (or even experienced CEOs) to avoid breaking the law completely?

We often criticize users for clicking "I accept terms" without reading through them, but how many of us have actually read through a law passed by congress?

Having strong legal advisory helps, but very few companies can hold on to huge legal departments just to deal with regulatory compliance.
How many times have we heard lawyers talk about a "Legally grey area"?

Its one thing to intentionally break the law. But do we really want startup founders afraid to even begin their company and try to disrupt existing monopolies because they don't want to risk ending up in jail?

> The US went down that path in the 50s: massive and hugely oppressive racial segregation whose echoes are still being felt.

Zoning is still essentially segregation. (Eg keeping the multi-family homes for `poor' people away from the single family houses.)
It is true that there are a lot of laws and regulations out there, and it may very well be impossible over a really long run as a CEO to avoid running afoul of some law or other. But that's not what this is all about, it is about making major mistakes under pressure because of being mis-informed about what the rights and obligations of a CEO really are and - to my surprise - I keep running into people that occupy these jobs that seem to be critically unaware of what their position really is.
Idea HN: You can earn 100K to 200K USD without doing anything. Here is how
Hello All my friends,

I would like to let you know something you really be interested to know about.

You could make 100K to 200K USD per year depending on how you do it.

We are into app and game development, and looking for client who wants to develop app, web or game.

If you are interested, then what you have to do is that you get clients to us and we will share revenue between us.

I have some cool examples where my friends have been earning decent money. For example one of my friend just bought Tesla. Some friend are earning 120K per year. Some are traveling around the world while still earning money.

You could also be earning this way. What you have to do is that you can setup company/website where you list our skills and get clients for us.

To discuss more, send me email to neostar20@gmail.com.

Thanks.
"Conforming program" may be a largely useless term, but it's one of the two conformance levels for programs that the C standard defines. The other is "strictly conforming program", and it does not include any terminating C program, so it's also a largely useless term.

Now C compiler maintainers justify "optimizations" with the C standard, and indeed, a compiler that behaves like that is a "conforming implementation" (the only conformance level that the C standard defines for compilers). Is that a useful term?

Yes, we should be exploring the fringes of the C standard (in particular, "optimizations") less, because that is not useful territory; instead, we should orient ourselves by looking at the C programs that are out there.

But anyway, my thinking when I wrote that was: if somebody comes at you with the frequent stance of "your program is non-standard crap full of bugs", when it worked as intended with all previous versions of the compiler, you can shoot back at them with "it's a conforming program". Of course, if the other side is a language lawyer, that approach will not help, as you demonstrate, but if not, maybe you can get the other side to take a more productive stance.

It's not really within the premise of the post, but focusing too much on the law side without much regard on morals & ethics isn't that great either.

Some CEOs do think that it's OK to cause environmental damage, outsource to sweatshops or conduct mass layoffs - as long as it's a lawful act.

Many function calls are a cache miss.

That doesn't matter much if each function call accesses thousands of memory locations, but if you have many small functions such as calls to (un)box objects or property accessors, or small closures you pass to a function, getting rid of the function calls by inlining code makes a huge difference.

I've started to do this. I find myself cracking a grin when encountering traffic, it's magical. However, the risk tradeoff takes some willfulness to ignore. On Thursday, one of my moto-commuting co-workers was struck by an SUV that executed a surprise lane change. Laid it down at 60mph, escaped with barely a scratch.

Calculating mileage and maintenance costs is easy compared to factoring in your risk of bodily damage from your commute. Commuting on a motorcycle is fun, but I haven't figured out whether it's 'worth it.'
You may want to actually read the article. The options aren't "no euthanasia at all" or "anyone can request euthanasia at any time and get it immediately". If some line of reasoning leads you to conclude that the Swiss are insane, well, then maybe you should consider the option that you're the problem, not the majority of Swiss that support their legislation.
Ask HN: Modern, self-hosted software dev infrastructure
I'm looking to setup a self-hosted software development infrastructure, with the following:

- continuos integration, build and delivery (preferably incremental)

- code reviews (preferably pre-, maybe post-commit)

- reports on test coverage, hot spots, code style and potential error checking (per-revision delta, overall, per-code-review-diff)

Most of the tools I've looked at require large amount of work to get integrated. For example, in my Java stack, I have ant, jacoco, junit, pmd, checkstyles, and these produce reports for the current revision, but it looks like integrating these into a comprehensive review + report infrastructure is not something people do (or write blogs about).

Is this really that hard to do? What are you using for these nowadays?

My tech stack is mostly Java, Go, JS and Python, but would be preferable if we could keep it language-agnostic.
In the same vein:

Interesting that you get downvoted for this comment. I cannot see why. Getting run over by a careless driver (and yes, looking at phone is a specific problem) definitely is a risk, at least in some places.

Where I live, I have dedicated bike/pedestrian paths so it's only a few intersections where I need to watch out. (a bit over 10 km, 25 min in the summer and 25-40 in the winter, plus the time it takes to shower and change clothes at both ends).
You could just use a different ritual, like work out just after coming home.
The author doesn't give the breakdown, but I'd be willing to bet that men are bearing most of this burden. There's a lot of discussion about women being paid less than men, but the fact is that there is a lot more pressure on men to favor positions than maximize income generation that women. I know dozens and dozens of men who commute to and from Greenwich CT daily while their wives work locally or stay at home. These men barely see their family, but they do it so that their childrens get a good education.
Excellent work. Cloning it for my own website as soon as I can.
You can look at sites like the Cochrane Collaboration or NICE.

Cochrane provide meta-analysis of various treatments. The meta review include a good summary of the paper. Here's their list of stuff about acupuncture: http://www.cochrane.org/search/site/acupuncture

NICE reviews evidence of safety and efficacy to try to decide if the English NHS should offer (and thus pay for) a treatment. Nice will sometimes say "do this", sometimes they'll say "we don't have enough evidence to say either way", and sometimes they'll say "do not do". If they recommend to not do something it's because they have plenty of evidence of harm. Here's their list of stuff about acupuncture (a lot of which is of the "do not do" recommendation): http://www.nice.org.uk/search?q=acupucture

England is also introducing "personal health budgets" for people with long term conditions. This is a small pot of money that the patient can spend pretty much how they wish (not on debt, gambling, alcohol, tobacco, or anything illegal) so long as they can persuade a panel. This could include homeopathy or acupuncture. For example: Imagine a person who is frequently and severely self-harming. (They attend emergency department every week, and they're usually admitted from ED into hospital for surgery.) This person may feel that a joining a 5-a-side soccer club and getting acupuncture would help reduce either the frequency or severity of their self harm. http://www.nhs.uk/choiceintheNHS/Yourchoices/personal-health... https://www.england.nhs.uk/healthbudgets/

Caldwell Esselstyn has proven that it's possible to cure heart disease such as angina with a low-fat, plant-based diet. He's written a book about this 20 year study: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure.

I find it interesting that most doctors are continuing to recommend things like cardiac stenting. Maybe it's money? I wonder if they even mention diet to their patients? Or is it the patients that are the problem - even if doctors mention diet, do many patients continue to eat unhealthy?

Autobiographical writing software designed to stimulate psychological growth
Have to concur. Some time ago I wrote down a list of ground rules that would make display ads acceptable, at least for me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10521930

When ads are served locally, avoid tracking, remain kept out of the way and are kept strictly within the topic of the content - then we are talking about a reasonable starting point.

Unfortunately the current ad ecosystem seems to be diametrically opposed to this. As far as I can see, the ad vendors brought this situation upon themselves.

When does a 'desktop app' become a 'bastardised web' (sic). Is it when it communicates via http? When it renders HTML? Lots of apps that you may be running (e.g. iTunes, the Mac app store) do this. If it's well integrated with the host OS, I don't see what the problem is; would you rather it weren't cross-platform, or it used another cross-platform framework, or it were several separate codebases?
