I found this talk to be really interesting, as SuperH chips were used in so many applications in the 90's. One significant application I'm familiar with were Roland synthesizers. It's very interesting that this group decided to implement this for their own application.

But, I'm curious why it wouldn't be easier to order SH CPU's from Renesas for modern applications, although I understand the implementation wouldn't be open all the way down? Does anyone have thoughts on this?
Would they? Acknowledging attacks could give clue to operations in play. They're certainly not going to risk sources and or collection that's proven valuable.
And to be fair there have been a good amount of publicly acknowledged plot disruptions.

The sample size is <very> small. I was the only person to use Safari Technology Preview beta 6 so I was "1 in 133,647".

Having said that, I tested it with Firefox and found some unused plugins that I either removed (Google Talk) or set to never activate (Picasa - couldn't find how to remove it from Googling, Firefox or the Picasa app).
I wish they would show the rarest fonts, so that I could contemplate their removal.
The way reddit is going, I think it's entirely possible that digg could once again become the place to go, possibly even likely if they work towards an "uncensored reddit". I could see some event happening (like this), where a mass exodus occurs, just like happened to dogg.
I do that. Didn't know it was that uncommon. Maybe that's why I never had the discipline to keep a calendar.

The first issue was excellent and I'm really looking forward to reading this one. It's also really nice to see a lot of people support the magazine on Patreon. Hopefully, it becomes sustainable and we'll get to read many more issues. Great work Joe!
I've been using Fasten and Fare, and haven't had any issues. I'm guessing they can't handle peak loads as well, but in terms of app quality / experience they've been pretty alright.

As a mobile developer, I do appreciate WebView. Using it in the right place for the right situation works great, and proves to be a much cheaper solution than any other things.

But I would disagree with using it as the main building block for an app. There are many gray area I'm not sure if WebView can handle well enough, e.g. offline mode, screen orientation change/state restoration, first time rendering without delay etc.
It's the same in France. You can't choose whether you want to pay with CB or Visa/Mastercard.

Actually, CB (for "Carte Bleue") looks so close to the generic "carte bancaire" word for "bank card", that few people even know that it's just a national card thing.

I don't know if stores are allowed to charge customers differently for different payment means, but I guess not since I have never seen it. However some stores only take cards for a minimum amount. The largest chains though don't have any limit, and I've actually already paid amounts less than 1€ with my card.
The US is also the longest established continuously democratic government... so clearly there is also something going right, historically at least.

Ranking Brazilian government above the US is a joke.
> why does efficient set union of two collections require one of the two collections to support fast membership tests

Sorry, I misspoke / used bad shorthand. Union should have efficient set addition for the larger argument and set _intersection_ requires efficient membership tests.
Digg is doing a different model now, no comments. Honestly it's kind of refreshing.
Nope. I used space. After the Erlang slide it moves to the right "tools used", which is the slide on the same level in the next column.

This along with back button hijacking makes for the single worst presentation format I've encountered so far.

EDIT: it appears that only happens when you have been in that column before. This is still pretty surprising behavior.

You should be able to say why it is Saturday, not rely on "consensus among the informed".
Weird, I generally assumed most people visualize the calendar as a circle when recalling dates. I've always been good at associating dates with events, but never would have thought the circle had anything to do with it.
Interesting use case but is it actually nice to mix up the technologies on your stack just for this? Also why re-invent a solution for something that already works? Just my 2 concerns :)
Its good enough to bypass UAC & AV and run whatever you like.

You dont even need to give your software a ".exe" extension to run code.

Just rename a program removing its .exe extension, then call it from the command line. It will run!

Its perhaps better to compare dos BATch files with bash.
> Frankly, the POSIX C standard library does not seem to have been designed with safety in mind (I don't think this requires an expert eye to see). So writing it in Rust is going to require a number of compromises on Rust's safety.

That's kind of what I'm getting at. If cstdlib is inherently unsafe, and Rust cstdlib is going to be inherently unsafe, what's the point? Because of some other Rust advantages things may end up safer, but there's a lot to be said for years/decades worth of fixing existing cstdlib implementations such that you can be reasonably sure that most of what's in there is as safe as it's going to get.
From an engineering point of view, there has been some work on the application of reliability theory to aging, though not to the point where your question can be answered using this approach:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_theory_of_aging_an...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20469937

Immune system aging is an important component of age-related frailty, and probably also accounts for the rising number of senescent cells and higher cancer risk. It isn't as simple as a dearth of cells, however. It is more of a complex configuration/whole-system failure in which rate of cell replacement is just one variable contributing to the bad state endpoint. See for example:

I've been curious if the US has a reciprocal visa with Australia? I'm a USian who has a deep affection for Melbourne.
Dan's videos are a fantastic introduction to Redux, and the Redux docs are extremely well written as well. For those looking for additional resources, I keep a big list of high-quality React and Redux tutorials and articles over at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links. Specifically intended to be a great starting point for someone trying to learn the ecosystem. I've also added articles on a number of advanced and related topics as well (Functional Programming concepts in plain English, React performance tips, Webpack tutorials, etc).
I'm disappointed by the idea that something is semantic nonsense, but it's okay to do it anyway. The right line of code isn't "return usize::MAX", but "abort()". (I'd also accept "__builtin_unreachable()".)

In general, if a program enters an impossible state, you need to stop running the program, not do something you know is wrong just so the program keeps working a while longer. That's why strcpy_s is much better than strlcpy.

It's also really not fair to compare the legibility of Rust to the legibility of musl: whatever its other merits, musl is written in that old-school C style that makes one imagine that programs run faster when variable names are shorter and braces are omitted.
The headline seemed perplexing, but after seeing the article's illustration I was shocked to realize that's me (sort of).

Whenever I think of time on a scale of at least weeks, the mental picture I have is circular. The center is always the house I grew up in. Months aren't represented as just colors, but images: views of the yard surrounding the house, based on the season a particular month corresponds to. Perspective changes based on the timescale I'm focusing on.

As a kid I used to picture numbers in color, mostly as gradients. On the number line, the hue would change subtly about every ten numbers. That went away shortly before adolescence though.

Granted, these are all purely mental images—there's no spatial or perceptual component as in the article. Unfortunately no exceptional memory or recall abilities either.
I'd be interested in how long you would actually need to go without soap to smell "normal". I've done numerous backpacking trips going 2-3 weeks without showering and although "we" get used, it's immediately obvious to those that encounter us at the end of the trip how awful we do smell.

> you are now piping real language objects

Which is in fact a bad idea, because in order for stdin to accept objects and stdout to output objects, now those commands have to be powered by PowerShell and .NET. In other words you're in a very finite and closed environment that does not interoperate with the outside world.

You know, love or hate Unix, but the fact remains that this family of operating systems, including its command line, has survived the test of time. And it has done so because it has at its core a set of philosophical principles. And one of those is that programs that handle text streams are preferred, being highly interoperable, as text is a universal interface [1]. And you know it's funny how people loathe Unix, but at the same time rediscover its principles (and often implement them badly) again and again.

There are already several replacements. Fare, Get Me, Fasten, and a new non-profit called Ride Austin are all open (Ride Austin in limited beta, the others full speed ahead.) There's also Wingz if you want to pre-book airport rides. The first week or two was rough, but now it seems mostly OK.
Uber and Lyft are absolutely more expensive than driving your own car, barring questions of your pay and time use.

They're not more expensive than possessing a car and keeping it available for your use. That generally includes capital or leasing costs, maintenance, insurance, licensing/registration, storage/parking, etc.

Edit:
Expanding on this from a real keyboard, costs include:

* Capital or leasing on the vehicle itself (generally at least $200/month for several years even for cheap new vehicles, possibly lower for used)

* Maintenance for the vehicle - low for new ones, higher for older/used ones

* Insurance - again higher for new ones and lower for older ones,

* Licensing/registration. A drivers license is a wash (you'd probably have a comparably-priced state ID) but at least in Illinois registration is > $100/year, varying some by vehicle.

* Storage & parking. This includes any use of paid parking lots (not uncommon in cities), but may also include the cost of your garage, or the time cost of finding and using street parking.
The US did shut down its WWI-era spying in 1929. The (Republican!) Secretary State did so with the simple comment "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail".

> Enemy nations can then go rampant

The main enemy of the FVEY agencies has always been the population of the FVEY countries. This goes back a long time - in the era that US Republicans actually did believe in smaller government and Stimson was shutting down the Black Chamber, British intelligence was manufacturing the Zinoviev letter to bring down the Labour government in 1924. Peter Wright discussed more modern efforts by MI5 against the Labour party in Spycatcher, especially in the 1970s, and this has been discussed in other sources.

Similar machinations were happening in the USA in the 1970s, with Nixon using ex-CIA operatives to, among other things, break in to the national Democratic campaign headquarters in order to rig the election his way. That's against the background of COINTELPRO, spying on blacks seeking their civil right to vote and such, or that part of the electorate that wanted to withdraw from a war in Vietnam that the top brass and chiefs were privately saying was a lost cause. FVEY intelligence also helped bring down Gough Whitlam's Australian Labour government in the 1970's, an American, Christopher Boyce went to jail for, among other things, revealing this news to the Russians.

Insofar as enemy nations, England has had a litany of enemy nations in the 20th century - Indians who wanted independence, Argentinians who wanted the Malvinas returned, Irish who wanted English troops out of Ireland and on and on - think of John Cleese in the Meaning of Life waning on about efforts to "keep China British!"

US intelligence caused Daoud Khan to turn his back on the Soviets who had helped propel him to power, and when the Russians backed another horse and their former friend was ousted, the US said the "enemy nation" of Saur Afghanistan with Soviet backing was "going rampant", so the US helped launched a mujahideen-led jihad against secularizing Afghanistan, financing and arming Osama bin Laden and other proto-Al Qaeda and Taliban forces. Then years later the US decided to plant military bases in Saudi Arabia, causing this Arab nationalist to send his fighters with planes into the Pentagon.

Now we're told we need we need to work and be taxed to finance these FVEY agencies to protect us from these dangers which they themselves created. Whereas the real enemy they are fighting against is their own populations - as MacDonald, McGovern and Whitlam could all attest to.
I watched some past talks from Scott Myers in the last few months. I can always learn things listening to his talks, even ones I have already heard. He is always a good resource to learn more if you are into C/C++ work.

I also keep up with AWS video's that are released for product and use cases to see/learn how/what other people are doing.
The author isn't saying that "these people are absolutely, without any doubt, sick and being paranoid". What he actually said is: "A large number appear to have delusional disorder or schizophrenia, psychiatrists say."
> Telling people that they're not doing a good job when you don't even know them only pisses people off, and eliminates any chance that they'll agree with you on principle.

Funny, that's exactly what the original poster did to the Clojure core team.

> Each time I summarized

You call it summarizing, I call it mischaracterizing. I stand by the position that if the original poster thinks that clojure.set is bugged: they don't know what they are talking about. That doesn't mean they suck at their job, that means they haven't actually stopped to think about the particularities of those functions.
We knew that long before this study. It's true of everything, not just longevity.
Its a real phenomena; I'm a programmer and run r/gangstalkingmkultra.

Humans did not evolve defenses against biohacking, We did not evolve: scales, snake eyes, ear drums seperate-enough from the skull. We consider these features ugly, not necessary...

The animal mind is a sensor [of light, color, heat, sound, vibration, emf], and is extremely sensitive to these. There are 90+ patents for mind control, everything from Radio, EMF, Infrared, Pulse positioned sine waves, and ultrasound.

Science wont talk about most of this stuff, for example a scientist told me radio could not affect the humans nervous system since we are 96% water; they now claim we are 60% water, but forgot they said radio was not the cause.

Scientists are purposely discrediting these people, and are wrong about/lying about/not studying so many topics i have compiled a partial list [ reddit.com/r/gangstalkingmkultra/comments/4fb98a/science_lies_relevant_to_mind_control/ ]

Its rather bad because psychiatry was a complete fraud. The "treatments" for one mental illness were [ reddit.com/r/gangstalkingmkultra/comments/4a4y1d/psychiatry_is_a_medical_fraud/ ]

hand crank drill to the skull and drain blood
dr freemans icepick lobotomy
dr freemans shock until KO
more bizzaro surgeries
straight jackets 24/7
tying the person to a bed 20 hours a day
drugging them and locking them up
lithium a toxin so poisonous its used for chemotherapy to kill unkillable mutant cancer cells
sterilization and eugenics

and current treatments are worth 10,000,000,000 a month, but I dont think they cured anyone [their previous treatments were stopped because they did not work and were barbaric].

Anyways its a real phenomena, web and youtube have videos and articles, ex-CIA, ex-FBI, ex-Army, ex-NSA, have testified that a global mind control system exists. google agency name + DEW, mk ultra, or mind control. Theres something like 30-40+ serial killers/spree shooters that said mind control exists before they went on their spree.
Instacart handles groceries for about $100 a year. Drizzly picks up alcohol if we're throwing a party or get-together. Amazon Prime handles almost everything else. Some months are more expensive because of doctor's appointments or an unexpected trip to the Apple Genius Bar and the like, but it's always still a win. I'll get a ZipCar for about $40 if we want to take the whole day and travel about here and there.

When we go out in the evenings, I usually order a beer or a cocktail with dinner, so I'd rather not drive; and parking in Austin during the weekend hours can easily be more expensive than the Uber rides. We categorize that under our Entertainment budget because we'd still take Uber for nights out even if we owned a car, but even if I recategorized it as transportation it wouldn't affect the results of the equation.

A large part of my lifestyle is subsidized by investors trying to capture a global market (Uber, Instacart, to some extent Amazon), and I recognize that this may not last forever, but I'm happy to game the system while I can.
> janky, animations aren't fluid, UI doesn't accurately respond directly to their input, screens "flash funny"...

Those were problems in 2013 and 2014. It's not the current state of things. Our users can't tell the difference from Native apps and we have conducted quite a bit of research... Nowadays those problems simply signal that "you're a mediocre dev" (probably in all platforms).

> If you want to trade user experience away to reduce development work, that's fine.

This is the reason why some people help to perpetuate "the myth". UX, if you know how to build an app properly, is not affected anymore. Don't believe it? Check apps like this one...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlykw4Z73sA

Arguably the best UX for bitcoin payments. Not a single complain about flashiness, clunkiness, etc... And the impact in the battery is orders of magnitude smaller than native apps like facebook. It uses cordova like many great bitcoin apps...

PS: I'm not affiliated with Bitpay in any way, just very thankful and impressed with their cordova projects.
> The C standard for example clearly shows the areas where there is an undefined behaviour and when you can expect the "garbage in, garbage out" behaviour. Is Clojure doing the same?

Yes. In fact, this is partly what clojure.spec is about; which the original author calls out as being wrong to prioritize for some unknown reason.
I understand that details can't be released, but is there any evidence at all for what you claim in your first paragraph?
> As a systems language, we cannot dictate what we wish the machine to be; it doesn't follow our rules.

Except aborting on OOM. Rust's stdlib can have an opinion about that.
Sure. Our opinion is that we like our decision here.

Luckily, that's only the standard library, not the language. But, I have a feeling we've been down this road before...
City has said that it won't start enforcing until August (though technically could start enforcing as of May 1), and at that point only 50% of drivers need to be fingerprinted. Here's the original vote: http://kxan.com/2015/12/17/mayor-offers-11th-hour-compromise...
That's actually backwards. The City created the laws, Uber/Lyft created "Proposition 1" to repeal them, and Austinites voted against the proposition.
If you can't find something bad to say about everyone, it ruins the rhythm of the "plague on both your houses" argument. I read an editorial the other day about how the three remaining presidential candidates were disrespecting the voting public; Trump was cited for saying racist things, but insisting that they weren't racist, Clinton cited for saying things about her email server that contradicted what the State Department had found, and Sanders cited for insisting that he could possibly be the President.

Criticism of Sanders seems to be limited to his existence and his belief in his own positions. Somehow the WaPo finds those two things both contemptible and endlessly interesting.

This is directly discussed in the post, under the "What does Rust offer here?" section.
Except for this German one, I haven't found another story on that Wiki page that wasn't clearly some other source.

Haha, what a fantastic way to word it. Duly noted.
In terms of HN user behavior for flagging a submission on this topic, this is how I would see it:

- pure news story about the event? I can find this on any news site and it should not be on HN. Flag.

- second order impact of this event on something relevant to HN's mission (specifically, how Reddit as an organization and mods of a subreddit react)? Highly relevant and do not flag.
Check the one in x browsers have this value column for large numbers.

In my case, for example, it says that roughly 1 in 6 browsers (of those tested by them, I suppose) have JS disabled as I do, so I don't stand out too much. However, my user agent string is 1 out of 100 and HTTP accept headers are unique among all 140k browsers they tested, apparently due to the unusual language preference settings I once made.
Same. I regularly notice it using upwards of 1.5GB of ram.
Disclaimer: I am not a psychiatrist or medical professional.

With that being said, I've known a fair number of varying degrees of paranoid people.

I suspect this tactic would oftentimes just play into, indulge, and validate their paranoia.
as long as it's served over ssl than it's probably true
The year's a circle, roughly. December is at 12 o'clock, March is at 9 o'clock, and I move around it in a counter-clockwise direction. September through December are a little more squished together than the other months. May through August are a little more spread out.

I thought everyone experienced that, until a thread on Reddit about 4 years ago (and I still don't think that it's as rare as the title implies).
> And there are questions about the very long-term effects. It’s not clear what the next 10, 20, or 50 years look like for patients like Molson.

Does that even matter? Molson would probably be dead right now if it weren't for the treatment, not to mention an enormous increase in quality of life. Even if the treatment kills her in 10 years, she will have had 25 years of a proper life, versus a few more years of lying in bed.

Of course long term effects are interesting to study and see if there is room for improvement, but I don't see them impact the validity of the treatment.
I don't think that's quite true. I believe the legislators enacted the law, then there was an initiative to repeal the law that was voted down by the people.
