One of the things that keeps me intrigued about this is that this is not the first time someone has claimed anomalous thrust from an asymmetrical EM device of some kind.

It could be measurement error combined with a little wishful thinking, or it could be that there's some undiscovered physics there and we're tip-toeing around the edge of the parameter space where it manifests. If that's the case, all these "X effect" systems could be working according to the same principle.

There are other cases in science (e.g. early transistor efforts and superconductors) where tinkerers and engineers hit on effects that were not understood and were ignored for a long time until we had some kind of theory that explained them and much more importantly told us how we might optimize for the effect.

The McCullough prediction that a dielectric should increase the effect seems easy to test.
Assuming it's actually a problem and not an outgrowth of womens' preferences.

Yes, surprisingly this feature, which is very important (see how Scala had to find a way around it [1]), has been overlooked.

To me, it seems like a list put together in a non-systematic way.

Same. I'm not swayed by price. It's the build quality and materials that matter most to me. While there might be consumers who are drawn to Amazon's laptop stand, I'm willing to assume that the majority of buyers for Amazon's product would not have purchased the pricier options to begin with.
Personal wine production is also regulated. There are limits on quantities, you can't sell it, restrictions on serving it at functions, etc.
That's the thinking behind the big.LITTLE concept, and it's in use today. It's nice because in addition to power savings, it doesn't take up as much of the PCB as an ARM+Arduino combo would.
> That's what it's like when a phenomenon is near the noise threshold.

That's not really noise level, that's just unknown systematic errors.
You might consider using CloudFlare's free service, it helps a lot in cases such as this.
So is there any microwave radiation escaping the cone? If more of it escapes from one side than the other, won't the momentum of the escaping photons (radiation) be the reaction of the thrust produced? Why does it need special physics? I am probably missing something here, but what is it?
> I know. But when you remove mosquitoes from the picture, aren't you putting selection pressure on the diseases to be airborne?

Organisms also need the opportunity to evolve; removing their only vector is analogous to trying to apply selective pressure to pigs to evolve to fly by throwing them off a cliff. Yes, any pig who could fly would survive and have a huge advantage over all the now-dead non-flying pigs. But it just ain't gonna happen.

Do you think decriminalizing for possessing a small amount in the interim would still fuel crime?
Do you have any examples of these? Lattices and gradient structures are cool, but the problem is it's difficult to actually make these structures. 3D printers can make these structures, but they only accept data in B-Rep. Not to mention the 3D printers that can make these structures have closed controllers and run with proprietary software. The AMF file format can actually represent these things[0], but no one uses AMF.

Another problem is how does a human actually design these structures? 3D gradients are going to be hard to visualize much less work with. In addition, why should we have a human design gradients in these structures in the first place? Why not have a computer do this?

Oh, I forgot to add: Single Core, 2666 Mhz.

I really wanted to ask if I could donate my old netbook and remote into that.
Even if this works, reactionless drive would be my last hypothesis after exhausting all possible things it might be interacting with via some as-yet-unknown means: dark matter, nearby gravitational bodies, etc.

The infinite energy device claim is easy enough to test. Since a working infinite energy device would be perverse, I'd predict that an EmDrive rigged up so as to produce infinite energy would fail to do so. Exactly how it fails to do so might tell us what's going on. Do the energy requirements rise with momentum (as they should in a sane universe), or do you pass a point at which the effect ceases, or does something truly wacky occur like space-time distortion in such a way as to cancel the effect?

My reading of the McCullough hypothesis is that it's pushing against all matter in the universe at once, or some such thing, but that could be way off. I'm not a physicist.
Oh... my... God... It's worse than I thought.
How fast do you think I can get a fair price for my 97 Sable? Fast enough to cover an "emergency" expense?

Cars aren't very liquid. You can sell them to a huckster with a lot in the shady part of town for 1/3 of what you could get by putting an ad on Craigslist and waiting a few weeks. If you don't have a few weeks, this is a problem.
I've heard that's not true. I've never investigated it to verify, and personally thought it was a little hard to believe, but nonetheless your assumption may not be correct.
The USB->serial chip will definitely be a knockoff, as we saw with FTDIgate. I'm not aware of counterfeit AVRs, but they could well be grey market.

Please stop this recreational outrage. For something that is as fresh as a tomato(not even a month old), you are inserting a topic (perceived anti-lgbtq law) that has little to with the macro trends of the past decade. This constant overreach poisons the discussion.
Given that the press doesn't have that much freedom in most of the world (even supposedly democratic countries), I think your statement that "everyone already agrees with" these mantras is plainly false.

That's a tautology for any economic good in which "value" is defined as "market value".

It explains nothing, nor distinguishes land from any other good.
Blahtherapy has 850 backlinks.

They have 0 Adword traffic - so if they are using paid traffic for advertising it is not at Google.

They monetize their site via Google Adsense though.

My thoughts lead to the conclusion they use organic and maybe blackhat SEO and probably did the old trick of leaving their domain on comments before people got wise to this.

On the plus side they get A LOT of traffic so the demand is there.

I agree. Blender has made a lot of progress with its UI recently. The nonstandard 'right click to select' is still a bit wonky for new users. I've tried teaching blender to a few people and they -always- have trouble getting used to the right click thing. I've been using blender for so long I could never make the switch to left click, but I still think a new default option would help grow the community.
I was of the understanding that the problem with grow-op houses is they're often riddled with mould and have unsafe electrical modifications:

Well, if it really is a VDI client and not used for more then the specs would be fine, not much happening locally that would need more.

But then you wouldn't be running Eclipse, Chrome and WebLogic locally on them, so that's probably not the case? And even Chrome alone can easily eat more than 4 GB, so that's kinda laughable for any kind of dev work.
If it's a matter of animal rights, cats have a hell of a lot more higher-order brain-functioning than mosquitoes do, because the latter have effectively zero.
Oh yeah no totally. I mean, it is indeed difficult in those A/B problem situations where you don't even know enough to ask the proper question. Perhaps SO needs an army of question vetters, code experimenters, and educators?
No one wants to seriously wipe out all 3000+ species of mosquitoes. There are only a few species that are harmful to humans.
This is incredibly naive, IMHO.

So far the ubiquity of computing power has not had a measurable effect on the mechanisms of aging. Yes, we've made some progress on specific disorders and pathogenic diseases by designing and screening active molecules but it is tangential to the various ways we age.

The gene therapy ideas are similarly in early ages, and if we start hacking away at the various aging mechanisms, it will be well after 2029. Additionally, there are complicated long term effects on tinkering with our machinery. The fact that aging as a natural phenotype is not very diverse means it is pretty complicated. We don't have humans who naturally live to be 200 years old. for example.
I can also confirm this.
usage of the Leap motion controller should actually be encouraged more, right here!
My understanding is that LVT is just that, a tax on the land value. In any significant urbanised setting, that's an alternative statement of "the value of the surrounding services of the property". More specifically, it excludes the improvements to the property itself.

That aside, your tax on the unimproved economic rent makes some sense.

What of increases in cost of rents or property values?

I've heard "this is the silicon valley of..." a thousand times when referring to areas with strong tech communities. NY's tech community is probably very impressive compared with most of them.

There's nothing actually like Silicon Valley in reality, though. This place is unique. Paris for fashion. New York for...(a lot of things) Hollywood for movies. Dallas for cheerleaders. St. Louis for half a McDonald's sign. Some places will never be duplicated.
Oops...my apologies.

Ask HN: How do you write and maintain email templates?
We've got this legacy system running on LaTeX, but it's a huge pain in the ass to update. I'd like to go toward a more web-standard based system. With SCSS compilation, maybe componentized UI. For companies with lots of email types, what does your email stack look like?

So, hardware purchases for large organisations (and what I assume might be a government agency or government vendor) seems to be driven more from strategic sourcing relationships and cost as a priority, and actual technical requirements second. Seldom do people go "here's what we need, lets cost it!" More likely its a compromise between cost and service.

That being said, 4GB is stupidly low for a development machine and that should be alarming for the development team (6GB is not much an improvement).

I would argue the "works fine for most developers" point. What works now (the current state) is certainly not going to last. 4GB is already too low and it is only going to get more difficult as the requirements increase (bloat is a constant).

The conversation should be "what is the practical life of this hardware and do we intend to upgrade when it runs out." You should think about performance hits (in the people sense, not hardware sense) if these environments are abandoned by your developers. All hardware purchases have an effective life and what you've described is a purchase which will barely last another 12 months, imho.

I think most of the negative comments are here, because of the sexist tone of the author of this article. What these girls have archived is something we should celebrate, not as a victory for the sexes, but as a sign that more and more young people are learning to code.
Was there extra social pressure to stay out of STEM in in the less free societies?

A couple plausible alternative explanations that quickly come to mind are greater reliance on aptitude testing and having more motivation to get a job that granted more freedoms.

(I don't have any idea if those are true, it just seems that there could be lots of things that would explain the difference)
To be fair, Blahtherapy is not the cola cola of the internet. I had never heard of it before this post.

Sure they have to check everything just in case it has any evidence on it.

In this case the work phone didn't have any evidence on it, and breaking into the phone cause an ethical debate over the right to privacy and encryption.

It is important to know that the FBI has tools made by hackers to break into an iPhone, and Apple stood by their corporate ethics to not create any OS or tools to break into an iPhone. I think this is because Apple cares about their customers and their right to privacy.
I really like Clementine as a streaming music player and use it quite extensively for playing and discovering Digitally Imported's streams without having to browse through the site. I really like DI's downtempo station for work, and I like that Clementine is cross-platform so I can use the same player on my work and home systems. Kudos to the team for having such a broad and deep selection of streaming providers integrated into it.

My one complaint is that the music library paradigm in Clementine doesn't feel cohesive, so unfortunately it is relegated to streaming music for me. I really don't like that I can't play music directly from the library and have to make a playlist: it feels very cluttering. This is even (or especially) true for streaming stations, in order to try a new one out it must be added to a playlist. If I could change one thing about Clementine, it would be to allow playing of music directly from the library.

The most analogous thing to a JVM classloader in CLR is the AppDomain.

Java packages and .NET namespaces are largely similar (the CLR supports a superset of naming concepts like explicit implementation).
This is not a sound security strategy.
Yeah, but given the various names others came up for it, it would have been nice to have one short name. It's normal for difference to exist even withing revisions of a chip, so it wouldn't have hurt anyone to use one name, When we say x86, we mean everything Intel from the 1980s until now, including Cyrix, AMD, Via, etc. 32bit or 64bit.

JVM doesn't really have a notion of virtual versus non-virtual methods, it's a matter of which calling opcode you use (invokevirtual versus invokespecial).

It's also sort of missing the big difference... the JVM is generally superior in performance to the CLR, having a better JIT and better GC performance.
Make sure they don't take advantage and have you working 2+ roles instead of one for the pay of 1!
It's also for scenarios where you have a fat client implements the front-end logic itself and communicates directly with the database server, using database users to authenticate.
Well when a company starts charging customers to get the right to comment on their articles, expect less people to comment on articles.

Not everyone wants to pay to use a website. Even if it means they can read or comment on articles.

Many websites are going to the subscription business plan that newspapers used to have before the World Wide Web became popular and offered free access in exchange for viewing advertising.

"fine for most developers", sounds to me like the Java guru needs to provider proof of that statement.

Gallup does surveys for businesses and one of the questions they ask is "Do you have the right equipment to do your job".

http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/26773/why-employees-ne...

If your workstation is slow, or you have to deal with OOM issues, and can't get your work done, that is something that needs addressed not by guessing, but my management doing their job and providing you with the right equipment from the start.

If the company isn't willing to provide you the right equipment based on what the employees think and not just on what one person says based on hearsay, than I'd question if that is a good place to work.
Some of it may be traceable to the enormous number of Soviet men who died in WWII, prompting intense state support for single mothers and allowing the remaining men to avoid responsibility and be spoiled, essentially.

This is a framework for medical software development, they have a few papers talking about the experience and benefits :

I do embedded development, and BLE is just another stack. It's actually very well documented in the official Bluetooth Core Specification. It's thousands of pages long, but it's a big stack with lots of layers and protocol.

Just like any networking stack, there's a decent learning curve, but its not like it requires any fundamental tool foreign to firmware development. On the other hand, your average arduino tinkerer has been handed so much abstraction of low level details, learning BLE, at least on the device side, would be a tall task.

Specific implementations of stacks and sdks will obviously vary in quality and documentation. On the device side, Nordic does a very good job with tools and documentation for their parts. There are several companies that make modules with nordic parts and provide libraries and example projects.

I've also used noble, which is a node js module that allows you discover and connect to devices. On a Mac, all you need is Xcode.
The problem is checking megabyte after megabyte of the massive dependency trees that everyone is obsessed burdens source control pretty hard.

I don't want to sound too negative but If you have moved to a hardware company then the resident Electronics Engineer (EE) should be determining much of the embedded hardware configuration.

Sure the choice of CPU architecture, OS, GUI Widgets etc will/should involve you but hardware choice is determined by user requirement, gui, reliability (watchdog timers, failure modes), power requirements, BOM Costs/long term availability, IP Ratings, enclosures, emi, electrical safety etc and is a totally different discipline which you need an EE and can seriously backfire and not get approval if not done correct.

Saying all that working as a programmer in a hardware business will teach you a lot of the above and give you a bigger influence in future projects.
Isn't it all about finding 'A' players who can excel? So why discriminate against over 55's? There's a lot less competition for them ;<).
My take at making AWS EC2 cheaper by automating SPOT instances with AutoScaling
In today's world, a truly embedded device implies an original firmware driving all the hardware on the device.

These are not so common anymore. Most devices use existing OS platforms depending on the task.
- time/resource critical? real time OSes
- GUI/multimedia/telephony? Android
- a platform for you app? Linux

Dev tools are very dependent on the hardware platform. C is common, as is C++. This is also very vendor specific. Intellectual Property add-on's for different micro's, etc.

You really should consult an expert to get guidance - you can probably do the work yourself, but making the right initial hardware choices matching the requirements will help get everything else right afterwards. Once you have hardware chosen, the rest will fall into place.

I work at a research and design firm, our projects are making custom hardware for people who don't have the expertise or time. Our most frequent customers? "We got this started and now ..." Save yourself the headache of getting half way into the project and discovering a problem you can't solve, then need to hire a consultant to fix it, which will entail redoing and eliminating features because the initial decisions won't support the desired outcome. Make a consultation, and get set on the right path from the start.
