"Telephone" and "radio" are not proper nouns in your examples, unlike "the Internet," which refers to a specific internetwork. When using "internet" as a common noun to refer to any other internetwork, you should not capitalize according to the rules of English grammar.

This style guide proposes an exception to grammar rules to fit common usage.
On paper, this is more blatantly being demanded to write a self-incriminating document.
"After a few months, I started wearing shoes without arch supports to force my feet to adapt. Managed to get rid of my foot pain within 2 months :)."

This demonstrates a truism that we should all become familiar with: If you brace a body part, the body part being braced will become weaker. Orthotics are a brace that hold up the arch of your foot. Your arch will get weaker.

"Sprinting any amount hurts, and I have to avoid all hills (going up is fine, the descent is killer)."

I cringe to offer up personal anecdotes or helpful tips, but on the outside chance that it is helpful, you might try running downhill on toes only - no heel at all. It's a bit odd looking, but it's worth playing with.

But that isn't what Apple would do. They're not stupid to change OSX midstream on existing devices.. that's what MS is trying to do.

They'll put a new form of iOS, with OSX backwards compatibility on new hardware. Where if you buy it, you're not getting OSX. You're getting iOS on a Macbook with some OSX shims in place for legacy software.

Sidesteps every issue mentioned. But MS can't do this, because they don't have total vertical integration like Apple.
Governor of Jammu & Kashmir Jagmohan at that time engineered the exodus of Kashmiri Pandit community from the Kashmir valley in 1990. Kashmiri Pandits were unnecessarily forced to leave the Valley by Jagmohan. Hindus and Muslims lived together for Centuries in Kashmir. Governor Jagmohan used his entire state machinery to facilitate the migration of Pandits.
"make them very fast" is based on the assumption that memory can keep up with the rate at which the CPU consumes instructions. It doesn't matter whether an instruction finishes in 1 cycle or 10 if the memory can only supply one instruction every 20 cycles.

A lot of people think about data accesses when talking about memory speeds, but instruction fetches are equally if not far more important to consider --- an OoO/superscalar design can "execute around" slow reads/writes if there are other non-dependent instructions, but literally can't do anything if it runs out of instructions to execute and has to wait for more to come from memory.
In all fairness, I think tiny in this case refers to the fact that the OS is only 200kb. From the openBSD install guide:

OpenBSD can be installed in as little as 512MB, but using that small of a device is something for advanced users.

What if we stop trying to control everything and let people make their own choices. In nature, if an animal doesn't hunt for food, it dies. We should take care of those who can't "hunt" because they're handicapped, but we can't afford to because we spend all of that energy on handing things to the ones who don't want to "hunt".

Stop trying to control nature.
Not to hijack the discussion too much, but does anyone know of something similar for Angular 1.x? Minko Gechev has a prototype of an Angular 2 hot reloader, but that's all I could find.

In contrast to Vive, Gear & Oculus - I'm wondering if this might be an opportunity for business VR application developers? Depending on the capabilities of the device, there might be opportunities to develop operational, health & safety and operational training solutions.

I have a MacBook Pro mid-2015 2.5 i7 16GB Ram 1tb ssd AMD Radeon R9 M370x. Here are my compile times for a non trivial game set to maximum settings. Literally straight up standard download from Epic version 4.10.4.

Building the game itself:
Total build time: 20.36 seconds

Not quite a exact same test as yours but I've honestly never used the engine in the way you are compiling it there. I understand it's a basic compile and execute tests but I usually run my tests via xcode and build/launch the game from either xcode or the unreal editor both are very fast.
Well if upstream doesn't want Debian to ship broken software in a stable version, there's a solution: upstream should improve their quality control and not ship broken software in the first place. ;)

But I mean, there's no actual obligation to update software. Lots of redistributors don't update to the latest version for many reasons. Apple ships old GNU utilities because they don't like GPLv3. FreeBSD ships an old version of OpenBSD's pf firewall because their patched version is hard to forward-port. OpenBSD ships a truly ancient gcc for a mixture of technical and license reasons. And Debian updates software on a fixed stable-release cycle. I suppose it's fair that upstream can complain about this: GNU and jwz don't have to be happy that people are shipping old versions of their software. But people are also probably not going to stop doing it.
I would suggest anyone to read the book "Kashmir in Sunlight and Shade by CE Tyndale Biscoe". This book highlights the autocracies by Kashmiri Pandits on Kashmiri Muslims (who were poor, illiterate and the peasant class at that time) for centuries.

> You'd have hopeless cases on life support forever, or unrealistically expensive treatment of conditions for which there is no real hope.

This happens today, the only difference is that it's paid for indirectly and inefficiently by everyone's taxes, rather than directly by insurance.

But you can't actually do anything about it, because that would mean "death panels" and lost elections.
Some might say that the practice of allowing brutal murderers and rapists to live out their lives and die in peace is totally abhorrent and has no place in any liberal society.

Ask HN: I have ~12hrs of free dev time a week. How do I turn that into money?
I'd like to hear people's opinions or experiences on what I could be doing in my spare dev time to earn money outside of my fulltime work. I'm a senior iOS developer with a well paying 9-5 job, however my wife has decided to leave her full-time job to pursue her career as an artist, and so I'd like to be able to makeup somewhat our drop in income.

"Internet" used to be used without an article prefacing it. Sentences were structured like "you can get on internet with just a modem and a computer".

Example usage from 1993, https://youtu.be/KDxqfgIDvEY

Also antiquated terms like "cyberspace" never adopted an article. "He's on cyberspace" not "the cyberspace".
Now apply that to software and interviewing. Its mind blowing to think of an interview being like that cross-country 10K and your group of friends being in it and being judged against the guy who came in first without trying. Life sure is funny.
I think it'd be great for geographically distributed teams as well. Having a surrogate or "virtual avatar" with accurate facial capture for meetings is definitely a use case for business VR developers.
Ask HN: Scientific pursuits that are feasible on your own?
What scientific or intellectual area is open for a single person to tackle and answer problems within the domain? For example, it is theoretically possible for a person to be a self-taught Mathematician but it is not feasible given the lack of credibility, and given where Maths is going, it is more and more a group effort.

None of them, according to the AP.
Dwarf fortress is one of my favorite examples of emergent behavior- the maneating carp, cat-explosions, cats getting drunk, etc. Actually, a lot of cat based bugs in general.
Did you even read the article? He quotes multiple philosophers and also only selectively quotes Confucius. His authoritarian ideas don't invalidate his other, good insights.
yes, L cache for sure is more delicate than a ram that you clip to the motherboard with 1000x the size - so it's only a cost factor? what is the other reason to not simply increase the cpu die size and put lots of cache next to it?

the ibm high power you mentioned doesnt seem to have large cache sizes, it's just double or triple the usual amount, 8mb L3 chache is not even close to a gigabyte, it's like ram in 1995, and that is a power cpu architecture? My 6 year old cheap amd cpu has 2mb L3.

here is a ibm power spec sheet:

Great, but why in the world (not capitalized) do you consider it a proper noun?
Cashmere Mis-Government:

Robert Thorp was the son of a British army-man. Army man Thorp had come to spend his vacations in Kashmir. At the first sight he only fell in love with an extremely Kashmiri beautiful girl and there-of married her. This marriage was sternly opposed in Kashmir and eventually the two moved to England. They had a son named Robert. From his early childhood, he had heard the tales of Kashmir, especially from his mother. He wished to see the land of her mother. On arriving to Kashmir, he was very upset by the Maharaja's mis-governance and the misery of the masses. He wrote a book, 'Cashmere Misgovernment'. The Maharaja came to know about it. Fearing the consequences that his tales of mis-governance may reach to the British authorities, in haste, he ordered his men to kill Rober Thorp. This book was published posthumously.
Robert Thorp gives a micro level study about Kashmir and all the mis-governance, oppression, miseries and all the fails of the government. He details the taxation system, the shawl industry, beggar system and all the non-justified oppressions Kashmiris faced.

> In an object-oriented system, each object has its own behavior, and the rest of the program (that is, the environment) has no business knowing how it internally works.

I would say that describes Erlang-style message passing, or maybe JavaScript-style prototype OO. But in most "common OO" languages, I would say it's more correct that each class has its own behavior, not object. Of course, the hidden state of an object can parameterize the class's behavior.

But still, there are many behaviors which differ based on the type or identity of their arguments, but aren't well suited to be encapsulated into said objects as they're equal peer parameters to the message, hence CLOS etc.

As an old-timer: that was the exception, not the rule. It was just as much "the Internet" in 1993 as it is now. It just wasn't as widely known by the mass public, so different usages were less likely to be caught by editors/etc.
Well, something I quickly learned while running; I am trying to improve my life directly, not by comparison.

You really talk about process improvement for 30 min a day with every single team member separately? As a developer that is unimaginable to me.
You need to talk to your people a lot, in order for them to get comfortable talking to you. 95% of the time, you're just shooting the shit. But 5% of the time, they'll have some critical information. Conversely, if you don't talk to your people, they won't volunteer this info out of the blue. You have to lay the ground work first.
I think what you said about mathematics applies for the rest of science in general - it's more and more of a group effort. That being said, I think there is ample room for innovation in emerging areas like biohacking.

There is also something to be said for analyzing all of the new datasets coming online and trying to gather new insights (this is also the least capital-intensive option!)

These comments: "I just want to be able to manage my privacy using Chrome extensions."

Why are people who are concerned about privacy using a browser created by a company that doesn't believe in privacy? You have no privacy options with Chrome on Android (at all) either. Firefox offers a lot of privacy protection out of the box, and you can use add-ons on the mobile version.
Yep. I like the idea of an agency or internal team that does the following:

Come up with risk classes and complexity classes, with objective measure for what is or isn't in each class. ("Class X risk involves a library/technique/platform with we are not yet familiar.").

Measure time spent on all tasks.

Collect statistical distributions for each portion of the risk/complexity grid.

Use those distributions and monte carlo simulation to estimate future projects to an appropriate degree of confidence (e.g. 95%).

This probably means scheduling lots more time than you would have before, more than you will often need, use the rest for refactoring, training, completing unforeseen and therefore unestimated tasks (bug fixes?) maintaining the FOSS you are dependent on, etc.
Huh. I wonder how fast the lookup tables for various operations could be if they were built using some kind of programmable logic. Then you could theoretically just interpret the bit patterns to be whatever kind of number-like object you want, and program the lookup tables accordingly.
I've known about this molecular similarity to asbestos for 15 years, and have pretty much warned every barber or hairdresser that I've ever been to. They've never listened. I moved to a different city but I heard about a year ago the hairdresser at a place I used to frequent has lung cancer. Was it the cause? Who knows, but it sure is sad to hear. Regular people are just horrible about assessing / understanding risk. Baby Power is like the climate change of the local hairdressing world. That might be a slight overstatement, but gosh they sure use a ton of it here.
Ironically, while reading very quickly your comment, I clearly stopped on Germain because it was different than the rest of the words (capitalized) ;-)

Sorry to break it to you, but you have 11 people who are putting up with your stupid 'help' because you are their boss and there is no way for them to avoid having you waste their time every day.

If you are spending 6 hours a day chatting with people, you are probably just being manipulated anyway, since your only concept of what is going on in your work is what people are telling you.

Good luck getting your 10x multiplier.
Just another counterpoint, the airing of which is therapeutic in stopping me from downvoting due to rising tension at the thought of what you've suggested and my experience with managerial-ilk and their uselessness in the past (and I haven't, because I think you're contributing, but understand just how visceral my feelings are towards this). There needs to be a counterbalance to your advice.

Just no. Just GOD NO. Want to be a good manager? Get the hell out of my way. You're not there for my benefit (i didn't hire you, and odds are, I probably don't think you should have a job at all, let alone one that pays more than me) so don't pretend you are. Its insulting to both of us. I'm there because you've hired me, given me money, to do some labor that you can't/won't do. If I want you, I will come to you, and it will usually be because some genius decided that I don't have the authority to fix a problem or do something. If you come to me, its because you're telling me to spend my labour on something else.

If you're going to make yourself even vaguely useful, be my human shield to keep the rest of the useless people (read: management/executives/marketers/HR) and distractions away from people actually doing work.

I appreciate this is all context sensitive and my response is filled with hyperbole, but you'll also hopefully understand that i'm particularly frustrated with managers/employers in our society wanting to be my mother/psychiatrist/friend? If I wanted to be your friend or meet with you, do you think people would have to pay me money to be in your presence?

Its not a very Hacker-esque movie, but there's a brilliant line from the English patient:

"I once traveled with a terrific guide, who was taking me to Faya. He didn't speak for nine hours. At the end of it he pointed at the horizon and said - Faya! That was a good day."
30 minutes over 6 hours is 5/min, hour.

That's basically shooting the shit during coffee/pomodoro/eye-strain breaks.
Bad example, I'm afraid. The Sun is, specifically, our star. Other stars aren't suns, they're stars with other names.
You're not making much sense. What schools are segregated? None. That's against the law. And you're saying that no the NBA isn't subconsciously overrepresenting blacks, and talk about poverty. There are more impoverished and undereducated whites than blacks. More whites overall means more white players to pick from. And yet NBA has a racial disparity. It points to unconscious bias toward recruiting black players over whites.

I'd also call out specific black scholarships that black athletes and black students are only eligible for.
2018 is unfathomable for the Model 3. Hopefully 2020 is more realistic if they can survive past their Model X issues. I have friends at Tesla, some in the service centers, and they said there are still less than 1000 Model X's on the road, and there are still problems.

Yes, they raised $200 million from the Model 3 debut, but they are spending $100 million per week, so that doesn't dent their spending.
> I never found anything subversive ... in Confucius

What do you mean? Did you expect him to tell you to fight the power?
I think it's too late for that kind of prescriptivism. "Internet" is not a technical term anymore; it's within the top 1,500 words of the English language according to [1], and its meaning is subject to evolution like any other word. Almost everyone knows it, and almost no one would use it to refer to private networks linked between multiple physical sites (say, SIPRnet, or a CDN's network, as considered separately from the larger network it's embedded into) - including experienced engineers, unless they were being pedantic. At some point the original definition is no more meaningful than an insistence that "data" should be plural, or to never split an infinitive.

Please, please, stop adding background music to these sorts of videos. It adds nothing but noise, and makes it hard to hear what the person is saying.

If for some inexplicable reason you feel compelled to add music to an informational video, turn the volume way down and pan it left or right so those of us without perfect hearing can have some idea what's being said. Better yet, add subtitles.
> All I see is a genetic fallacy, namely appeal to authority.

Appeal to relevant authority is not a fallacy.

> because we have Austrian and Keynesian economics at battle in America.

This is a common misconception among "armchair economists". There is no battle betwen Austrian and Keynesian economics in America today any more than there is a battle between Confederates and the Union. There was a battle, years ago, but it has been over along time, although there still are a small number of weirdos still carrying on.

Now many of the conclusions of Keynesian and Austrian economics are still alive and well, but the reasoning behind them is completely different, and the war today is between camps with names like Monetarism, Lukasian Rationalist, Chicago School, and so on. The people in that poll are not citing Human Action, anymore than working programmers today are citing the 8088 specification. It is a thing that happened, it was important at the time, but we've moved on.

> The debates are not about things like the validity of the technical aspects of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. The debates are about whether the individual should be allowed to prosper any longer.

Have you read an economics paper? They are so technical many programmers cannot get through one. For example, here's some random abstract from the SSRN [0]:

> We provide a formula for the tax rate at the top of the Laffer curve as a function of three elasticities. Our formula applies to static models and to steady states of dynamic models. One of the elasticities that enters our formula has been estimated in the elasticity of taxable income literature. We apply standard empirical methods from this literature to data produced by reforming the tax system in a model economy. We find that these standard methods underestimate the relevant elasticity in models with endogenous human capital accumulation.

There is no debate among working economists about "whether the individual should be allowed to prosper any longer". It is like suggesting mathematicians are debating whether imaginary numbers exist.
