Solving THAT game (where we get as close as possible to a brain -> machine interface and it becomes completely strategic) is interesting, but it's not StarCraft. Arguably it's the same abstract game, but when you bypass constraints (applicable only to humans), you probably should have targeted something else without those constraints in the first place. In our case, a turn-based strategy game that is equally complex and with limited information (Civilization?!).
that would be painfully slow, as it stands now, qbe is actually quite a lot faster than gcc and clang.

Natural Proof
I keep a list of things that interest me with sublists about interesting observations I make about each item on the list (I use workflowy for this task - no affiliation). The observations can be anything from ideas, to blog posts, books, online courses or articles about the subject.

When I want to learn something new I pick an item from the list and work on it (usually some idea I came up with). My preliminary research efforts often help me realise an idea or it gives me a chance to compare two different learning sources. I also try to create something using what I learned. Through craft I feel like I draw more from the learning experience. The outcome can also be that I need to find better references or that I simply want to learn something else.

The most difficult thing is getting started. I find it useful to be systematic about it by explicitly devoting time to it. Once you have a system in place you like it eventually becomes a habit. Also note that it is helpful to break tasks into small subtasks. Having a feeling of accomplishment leads to a more positive experience of the learning process which further leads to increased learning drive.

Note that my process is not much more sophisticated than "this is interesting". However, instead of acting on some hunch in the moment I act on observations which I gather over time.
Anything pro-trump or pro-clinton gets censored in /r/politics, the default subreddit for politics. /r/politics might as well be /r/SandersIsGod

Oh by the way they don't say they're removing the submission because it's pro-trump, they just enforce rules that are so broad that there can be a wide discretion in how they're enforced. These rules are heavily enforced for pro-trump and pro-clinton sbumissions, but not pro-sanders submissions.
An Open Letter to CloudFare, a company who has broken the entire Internet
I pick a project I want to complete or a cause I want to contribute to. Then I look at the smallest step I can take to work toward that (learn the basis of a new language, protocol). Then I iterate (learn a framework, tool). Then I try to close a bug or release the project to the wild. This usually leads to comments on a PR or someone opening bugs with the project, and then I have to learn something new to fix it.

I think it's much easier to learn things when you have a goal because you have to learn tiny nuggets of knowledge that are useful. I find learning something without the context of how to apply it to the real world is very difficult, so I generally don't just go out and learn things (tech-wise) without a legitimate usage in mind.
Creating Magnetic Disk Storage at IBM (2015)
I am surprised that no one has been developing (or I haven't heard of) fully autonomous airplane pilot systems. Something like that tied to a fleet of solar planes like this for shipping stuff could be a real game changer for certain types of cargo.

Flying actually seems like a much "cleaner" environment for the AI to navigate then roads do, to be honest, and the dependence on instrumentation and not visual cues as much is of course a natural fit.

I'm a bit skeptical of scaling up Solar Impulse. The plane only has room for one person. If the plane could care another 250 pounds for another person and gear, I'm sure they would have done it. And Solar Impulse has a 200 foot wingspan--the same as a 747.

How the internet has changed a remote American town
Going from $55k to $110k looked like this:

In July 2009 got a raise to $58k at my company (Internet Brands, formally CarsDirect) so I started looking. I applied to a bunch of places and within a week I had an offer for $65k which my company matched. I told the new company and they increased their offer to $70k. I accepted.

The environment was pretty toxic at the new place so I was looking too leave when one of the other places I applied got back to me. Although I was making $70k, there were bonus opportunities of up to 10%, so I reported total compensation of $80k. The new company matched with an offer of $80k. So 3 months after I made $55k, I was making $80k. This was ClearChannel (now iHeartMedia), and sensing a major reorganization and possible layoffs, I left to work at a small startup in November 2011.

They offered a choice of low salary/high options or high salary/low options. I took the high salary, which was $110k. After 18 months I got a raise to $117k, but wasn't happy. They offered me more options but I wasn't interested. When I discovered a coworker's offer letter on the shared drive stating he made $135k, I started applying. I got an offer for $130k which my company countered at $140k plus a few perks like an extra week of PTO. In December 2014 I got a raise to $155k, and then a promotion to director of engineering at $175k in January 2015. I started consulting on the side in November and found it more lucrative, so I left in December 2015.

Yep, just more recent versions, and it's been fixed too. But if you watch the bugs that keep popping up for G1 you see stuff like this fairly regularly.

Of course, that's a totally unfair comparison: CMS has had a decade of bug squashing...I'm sure it had equally scary bugs when it was new. But that's the point. Don't use new, shiny GC's because they are still squishing bugs :)

(Sorry, preaching to the choir, I just get frustrated by everyone claiming G1 will solve all their problems without investigating potential downsides)

Ask HN: How to become a more powerful man?
Hello Men & Women,

I'm 35 years old software engineer, with excellent professional accomplishments, several qualities, ok but not great looks, a handful of true friends, and a few past relationships, usually met in dancing clubs.
I recently got dumped after a one year relationship, based on "I like you, but I don't love you". The only feedback I've got was not being man enough.

For example, I usually avoid conflicts (I got beaten often as a kid), of any kind. Two months ago I started going to self-defense classes, which I love.
Another example, even though I go only for beautiful women (maybe because I don't consider myself alone beautiful), when I'm in a relationship I feel insecure that she really likes me.

How do you manage / What activities do you do that boost your manly power and confidence, especially with other Men?
I'm not looking for stuff like sky-diving or crazy risk takings.

Really appreciate any advice, or books/articles recommendations (e.g. No more mr Nice Guy, by Robert A. Glover)
Thanks

Usually if something is interesting it's because you're thinking about it in the context of a problem that you need to solve. Basically, it's interesting because you see the potential value.

That generally is what drives what I learn. I'm about to start getting deep into BPM2 and Activiti because it looks like it will solve an organizational problem that I'm currently observing, just as an example. Otherwise it's not really connected to anything I would be doing otherwise (although there are a few potential use cases if I understand the system the way I think I do).
Rasp is explicitly mentioned in the OP.

Why don't I just use a Raspberry Pi?

The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic product, but it is built with an emphasis on education and 'home hacking'. It lacks certain features found in the Ocean. Raspberry Pis do not have built-in Bluetooth or Wifi, and do not come with an on-board power source. While you can purchase cases for them, these cases are rarely designed with portability in mind. Exposed GPIO pins tend to bend in your pocket. A Raspi can be augmented with additional hardware to equal the feature set of the Ocean, but this hardware will compromise the portability of the Pi.

I want to see our devices to work with input power when available and use battery only when there is no input power.

In other words, a device must be able to power on and function correctly without a functioning battery plugged in. I think all notebook computers pass this test. Why can't phones and tablets do the same?
Pluralsight is also good. currently I have a monthly subscription and I have improved a lot.
The only use case I get from reading the website is bring a server to a remote location with no wallpower/connectivity. I'd argue that is something that nowadays is solved with software, not hardware. We've done data interactive offline first apps that sync when connectivity is available. This approach means that client and server run on the same $50 smartphone with the same CPU/RAM/HD as these severs but with many more features.

Usually I'm pursuing something. Along the way as I gain experience and encounter difficulties I put my head up and look for solutions. I don't always find what I'm looking for but it gives me hunches. When those hunches collide I get ideas and from there it becomes pretty clear what I know and what I need to learn in order to progress.

I'm presently learning predicate calculus and formal specifications of software systems. I came to it by hunches: software engineering should be more like engineering because companies like Yahoo! Japan are building earthquake notification systems on OSS infrastructure and the keynotes at Blackhat suggested it was a requisite for this industry to move forward. It turns out the math is beautiful and it helps me design better software and I'm only just getting started.

It has also added new things to my list of things to learn such as the refinement calculus as well as alternative modelling systems like Event-B.
19 kilos is ~42 lbs. That much weight will have significant impact on the stamina and agility of any fighter in any combat sport at any weight class...
While the readme does state this (could be) a joke, this unfortunately isn't possible with PCI-e today:

Motherboards only support directly accessing a (up to) 256 MB segment of VRAM directly from the CPU. This is the BAR1 space/aperture space.

So attempts to create allocations larger than that that are resident in VRAM but also accessible from the CPU will land in system memory, in order to ensure they are accessible from the CPU. Graphics drivers will either have the GPU read the data from system memory, or will do hidden copies to the GPU when they detect the resource is bound, etc.

The author sort of suspects this could be happening:

"There is no guarantee that the persistently mapped buffer technique actually references video memory. The worst case it's shadow memory and this actually wastes memory."
It is hardly impressive. Mediaval armour had about the same weight:

> A complete suit of plate armour made from well-tempered steel would weigh around 15–25 kg(33-55 pounds).[2] The wearer remained highly agile and could jump, run and otherwise move freely as the weight of the armour was spread evenly throughout the body.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_armour
> Don't underestimate "this is interesting".

That's pretty much me. Someone will say something, or I will see something somewhere and a little bit of looking it up to find out what was being talked about might pique some interest and off we go.
I should do better, because I've been random in deciding what to learn But some combination of: found good teaching materials, people I'm in contact with are learning it, and this could pay off big.

I hope so.

There was a green LED and a second one blinking during charging. Eventually the LEDs died and now it's dead. Strangely it booted after many attempts once, and then it gave up ever since. Power cycling has the LEDs all blinking twice, then they are dark again. I tried different chargers - makes no difference.
No it doesn't scale 1:1 or any way else at least not in any specific manner.

The scaling depends on how much lift you generate, the lift is a question of speed and your the available lift surface the nominal lift produced is then divided by surface area to give you your wing loading.

Solar is pretty much the most inefficient way of powering virtually any aircraft because you needlessly increase the weight of the lifting surface and batteries weight considerably more than fuel and that weight is dead weight during the entire flight while a fueled aircraft becomes lighter.

That said the scaling between the volume and the "surface area" isn't even in question here because you are going to be hitting a wall much quicker and that's takeoff weight as mentioned before lift is a factor of the surface area that can provide lift and the speed of the aircraft (as well as air density and some other things but lets ignore it) the heavier the aircraft the more energy you need to actually get to takeoff speeds, and when you make your lift surface bigger you increase drag as well as weight.

The speed you can reach is going to be more or less limited because even a 100% efficiency solar powered engines are going to be limited to the max cell efficiency * cell surface area, the 2nd part of the equation is your wing surface and eventually there is a limit to how big your wings can be and still support themselves and most importantly not flutter.
When you take all that and more into account there is absolutely no fucking way that you'll make an aircraft capable of lifting a 50,000lbs of crago, heck you won't build a solar aircraft capable of lifting 50,000 lbs of anything including itself. To put that into perspective 50,000lbs is 1/6th of the maximum structural load that a 747-8F (freighter) can carry, and about 1/4th of the nominal cargo load.

To put it into even more perspective Solar Impulse weights 3000 lbs, it's maximum takeoff weight is about 4000 lbs and it has a max speed of 80km/h with a wing span greater than that of a 747.
To put it simply there is no freaking way to scale this up, there is a good reason why nature haven't developed heavy flyers the heaviest bird capable of flight weights 35 lbs, the rule of thumb is that when you double the weight you need a 4th time as much wing area and spend 4 times more calories to achieve flight and while mechanical flight isn't exactly the same it's not that different - the amount of energy you can produce more or less limits how well you can fly because at the end if you stick 2 SRB's to a cargo container you don't even need wings.

P.S.
And that's before we getting into finding a material light enough to be viable for solar flight while still being able to bare the load of 50,000 lbs without collapsing, but even if you'll take perfect carbon nano tubes or any other super material you still won't be getting off the ground.

If you want solar cargo air transport blimps are probably the way to go...

I learn things by setting a purpose. Eg: For a web project, I need to learn new programming technologies.

I have a very sensitive mind. I can't concentrate on multiple projects at the same time. For example: If I'm working in a day job, I can't work on a side project efficiently, I can't concentrate on both my office work and side projects. If I do, My employer could easily figure that I'm churning out.

So, If I want to work on a project.. I'll make sufficient money then I quit my job and spend next coming months fully-fledged on my project.

I worked with a programmer who cut his teeth on ancient iron in the 1950s. He had a computer that had 4K of ram and two 512 byte I/O buffers. He would set the loader for the program into the I/O buffer and then use that to load and initialize the rest of the program. The I/O buffers would go away on the first read/write. Every byte counted.
I used the same techniques when I wrote MASM in the 1990s to create a 16k I/O buffer in the CGA graphics card. The graphics card memory was slower than regular memory, but the 16K made the program fly on reads and writes.
I remember a utility that used the Hercules Video card memory for EMS (paged) memory. I think it came with the card.
