My phrasing was unclear. I'm familiar with "Mestizo" --- it's "mezito" that I'm wondering about. Urban Dictionary suggests that "mezito" is just a typo, but the author uses it consistently and perhaps separately than Mestizo.

I'm wondering if like "cholo" it has particular connotation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholo

I was specifically referring to the brand name and I, unfortunately, can't speak to the differences with never having seen the bee pollinated honey seen in the article.

I will shed some light on THC infused honey (and edibles in general). Edibles are typically made from the lowest quality part of the plant known as 'trim'. For edibles the typical choice is ethanol for extraction which also extracts and concentrates any pesticides or sulfur used(sulfur burns are used as a pesticide alternative). Then that extract has solvent removed via rotary evaporation and that oil is mixed with honey and packaged in someone's warehouse. You'll often see honey and THC separate into two visible fractions if effort wasn't put into proper formulation.

For the honey in the article the beekeeper is hoping the trichromes(THC containing) of the marijuana plant will be carried and incorporated into the honey. I highly doubt this will work unless there are other instances of pollen products showing up in honey...but it's great marketing.

Compiler vendors are people, and in fact, if you don't like that set of people, there are plenty of vendors who have forks :)

With all due respect, but that sounds a bit like "if you don't like this particular law, you're always free to try a coup/revolution/run your own country".

I don't know much about the situation in standardized C, but I would argue that the point of standards is to reduce fragmentation and discuss language features in a way that all implementation can benefit from it. Demanding that you break the standard if you don't like a part of it kind of defeats that point, I think.

A different (and IMO more sensible) approach is shown by the WHATWG developing HTML5. Even though input primarily comes from browser vendors (which would be the equivalent to compiler vendors here), there is a rather strict requirement that new features must break a little as possible existing usage of HTML and should never introduce new security vulnerabilities. (Where those requirements collide, the second one takes precedence). This is done by extensive studies of how HTML is used "in the wild".

I get that measuring the effectiveness of enforcement is inherently difficult, but isn't the number of arrests made far away from the border an excellent proxy for how poorly border control is working? You can't isolate yourself from drugs manufactured in-state or from failures of other border patrol units (or successes of drug enforcement away from the border), but you also can't fuck with the stats.
You nailed it.

OTOH, one experience we did make is that the JVM is not so bad in running pure code, as far as the JIT and GC is concerned.

The biggest hurdles on the JVM are: absence of value types (e.g. tuples), the smallish, fixed stack, and lack of tailcall bytecode.
I honestly don't get your point.
> I did not do morning standup's because I did not think I was going to get buy-in from the rest of my team

Standup is expressly designed to function as a substitute for meetings - and to avoid the situation where employees waste time in meetings where only 10% of the meeting content is relevant to their particular domain/work.

The reason individuals are required to stand, is so that there's a slight physical discomfort in order that people report quickly (ours are about 1 minute per person).

If there's some topical convergence on a bit of work that emerges from standup that requires further elaboration and communication between members - then the idea is that those team-members will be able to self-organize a meeting outside standup.

The key benefit is that noone else on the team needs to be distracted with things that don't concern them.

It really puzzles me, that so few seem to comprehend the basic principles behind Agile workflow.

Sounds like those were layoffs, that's what they were described as, and of course those happened at MIT as circumstances demanded.

I'm talking about outright firing for, example, no longer being able to do their job. Back then, such people were sidelined until they retired or otherwise left on their own accord, or at least that was the case in all examples I knew about.
Once you get past the slightly non-standard english, it seems informative enough. I was not aware that the number of conditional instructions has been reduced to the conditional branch, conditional register-register move (with a few variations like increment), and conditional comparison. I am sure ARM engineers studied this closely, but I'm sad to see it go as I always considered the conditional flags on almost all instructions as a core trait of ARM...
If it was done by an unofficial maintenance person, then no, not unless it's proven that it was Tesla's fault instead of the maintenance person.

Not sure how it works with official maintenance garages though. I'm sure there's a liability waiver signed somewhere, else there'd be a lot of big lawsuits about improper repairs by official maintainers. Unless there is no such thing as improper repairs. IDK

> You should not be trying to use multithreaded optimization. Play with fire and you will get burned.

That's some poor encouragement there. They should be teaching how to do multithreading properly instead, or referring to such resources. May be using languages like Rust where multithreading is more sane will encourage using it more.

Similar experience. I sent a few emails on the ARPANET when at school in the late 70s and had some awareness of USENET at that time as well.

But I wasn't really immersed in email until I joined Data General in the mid-eighties where the use of email as part of CEO (which I think is fair to describe as a PROFS competitor) was pervasive. But it was pervasive only within our company. During this period, I used email within other systems like Compuserve but the BBS world, for example, didn't really have the concept of email--you had private posts.

Over time, various systems got connected to the, by then, Internet but it wasn't until the relatively late nineties that you could start reliably assuming that most people were on email.

I'm sure Tesla is working hard to try and prevent that; few electronics manufacturers like people messing with their code. Different interests though; with Apple and co it's to prevent free / pirated apps (and them missing out on app store income), and maybe to a lesser degree prevent their platform from looking bad by bad apps. With Tesla it'd be more of a liability issue, I'm sure.

Will we ever really talk with the machines
Correct me if I'm wrong but...

It is impossible for unsigned char to be 32 bits and for uint8_t to exist, on a conformant C/C++ implementation. The sizeof char / unsigned char is 1 ("byte" is defined this way). So if 1 byte is more than 8 bits, there cannot be an uint8_t type, since that would make sizeof uint8_t less than 1.

Actually, combined with the requirement for char to have at least 8 bits, is follows that uint8_t can only possibly exist if char has 8 bits.

Edit: quoting C99, to show that uint8_t must not have padding bits (an assumption in this reasoning). The requirement for uintN_t to have no padding seems omitted in the second paragraph (I assume by mistake), but the third one suggests it really should have no padding.

The typedef name intN_t designates a signed integer type with width N, no padding
bits, and a two’s complement representation. Thus, int8_t denotes a signed integer
type with a width of exactly 8 bits.

The typedef name uintN_t designates an unsigned integer type with width N. Thus,
uint24_t denotes an unsigned integer type with a width of exactly 24 bits.

These types are optional. However, if an implementation provides integer types with
widths of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, no padding bits, and (for the signed types) that have a
two’s complement representation, it shall define the corresponding typedef names.

>I think we're going to start seeing "jailbroken" Teslas soon after they start falling out of their warranty period. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. You'd think that out of the thousands of people who have already bought one of these cars, there might be one out there with both the skills and desire to actually own what they paid for.

You seem to forget how much these cars cost. Anyone who can afford $75k-100k for a car is not that likely to want to spend a lot of their time hacking their car.

By contrast, the car I now have, a lowly Mazda3 (costing between about $17k-30k; a nice model can easily be had for about $20k or so) has a touchscreen infotainment system running Linux, and a bunch of people have been busy making hacks for this system, even including getting Android Auto running on it! But when you can get a car like this for less than $20k, that means you have a bunch of young owners, probably in college, who have the skills and spare time to mess with that stuff and spend time on forums talking about it. There aren't likely to be many Tesla owners in college; they're likely to be middle-aged at the youngest, and have a McMansion and family to take care of; that's not someone who has a lot of free time to hack on car computers.

Nobody here has considered the environmental impact of this invention. How much physical mail have we stopped lugging around the globe because of email?

Then social impact: by popularizing near-instantaneous global written interpersonal communication we have removed the walled garden of national language, culture and politics. Suddenly, a great force of inertia demands that every profession, every social and political issue must be viewed within its truly global context. Of course, we're not quite there yet but it's a clear trajectory.

Email is the only revolutionary communication technology there is. The next evolution is that of email lists. Anything else beyond these two, be that Twitter, Facebook, etc (they are nothing more than public email) are not evolutionary in true sense.

I'd only take away BCC feature from the email as a mistake, or useless. Email-lists should have been the true BCC.
The risk is exactly the same with proprietary software. A hacker can unpack the installer and create a new one with his changes. Or, as they often do, create a wrapper which installs their malware and then calls into the original unmodified installer.
I think you have no idea what you're talking about. There's an independent repair shop just down the street from me that has as much business as they can handle (they smartly located themselves right outside a major employer's campus, so it's a convenient location for all the people who work there). Everyone knows dealerships are expensive. With the average age of new cars being over 11 years now (according to the article), most people are not going to be taking their cars to dealerships when there are cheaper places to go.

Yes. They do mixed use in the Asian cities, too.

As I discovered to my misfortune recently, SDL2 is a nightmare of undefined behaviour when you start involving multiple threads, even if you're doing things in what naively would appear to be the correct way with locks and the like. Depending on your OS and GL backend, a bunch of stuff is thread local and will bomb out or just fail to do anything. In the end I ended up having to do everything SDL related, not just rendering, but including things like polling the keyboard and mouse, inside one thread, with mailboxes back to everywhere else. The documentation was pretty weak on explaining this, too.
I prefer HN Reads. Though both are good sites (and the first is aggregated automatically, which is a plus), ramiro.org only finds books that are linked to Amazon. IMO this gives a rather skewed result, as most books mentioned on HN are only mentioned by the title. (And the more famous the book, the less likely it is to be linked to Amazon, since everyone is assumed to know about it already - e.g. TAOCP, SICP, etc.)

Ask HN: How does a developer find a digital artist?
I am a CS student currently working full time and I develop some side projects for my entertainment. One area that could really use attention is graphics design / art. For example, I am looking to slap together a wireframe of a project to make a proposal, but it looks quite bare, so I'd really like to get some mock-up art or basic logo design done.

As I'm not a digital artist, nor do I have the time to try some basic art myself, how would you recommend finding someone to offer concept art, keeping in mind these constraints:

- This is not a full-time paid position, just a side-project

- I am a college student with not much money to spare

My first thought was to use sites where one posts a request for art and provides a budget, and artists across the internet can "bid" on the project by submitting samples. However, these can get quite pricey (see constraint above). What would be a great scenario is having fellow students contribute art for the sake of putting it on a portfolio, and, in the case of larger side-projects, I could offer % stake in the project, granted that the payout would likely be minimal to none. Any recommendations?
