Actually, just the opposite is true. When you build in a really compact way, the countryside is never far away... and that makes the real estate more valuable because a lot of people love the idea of living in the city but having access to the country. In Bath, England, for example, you can stand in the center of town and look down the street and see sheep grazing on hillsides a short distance away. In Atlanta and other sprawling places, you could walk for a day and not reach the countryside.
Ooo. Fair point. I'll add that now and link to your comment.
You're more qualified to answer that question than I am, so why are you asking me, instead of telling me your own answer?

What I asked you was why you were questioning somebody else motives, right after complaining that somebody was questioning your own motives? Is it OK to question people's motives, or not? Are you "entitled to ask questions without having our motives questioned" but nobody else is?

Yeah kdb is built so that the entire core of the db fits in L1 CPU cache. It really is an impressive feat of engineering and optimization.

I did hate it when we used it however. It required more or less a team of people doing querying on it fulltime. Have you seen the queries in Q? It looks like someone set the baud speed wrong on a serial connection:

From wikipedia's page on Q (the query language of kdb):

The factorial function can be implemented directly in Q as

{prd 1+til x}
or recursively as

{$[x=0;1;x*.z.s[x-1]]}

I work for Deliveroo (an equivalent of DoorDash/Seemless/UberEats) and our riders need a fairly new set of skills — not unlike courier — that are not yet really doable by a drone. Training those riders; being a rider and figuring out which properties drones should have to take some of the workload… all those are skills that are not directly technical, but are empowered by automation.
I'm a grad student in Geomatics engineering, and I organize my workflow with a notebook and trello.

Notebook / Notepad: I've started transitioning away from notepads because loose sheets of paper aren't very good for long-term documentation. They are good for meetings and mocking something up, however, so I keep my notepad around for that, while I use a line-grid moleskine to document procedures / math that I am currently working through. This is mostly for long-form documentation, or working through ideas on paper first. I wouldn't suggest managing tasks via a notebook, it becomes too cumbersome and you may not always have your notebook on you when you need to check a todo (in an impromptu meeting, or if you think of something at the grocery store, etc).

Trello: This helps break down tasks and organizes which tasks / todos are left. Think of it more as project management, and don't try to document the world in Trello. Of course, whenever I do an expense claim I take pictures of the receipts and store them in trello in case I need to look them up again, but otherwise I don't store too much outside of basic tasks / todos. My only personal gripe is that Trello doesn't really offer Bitbucket integration (only Github), so referencing my Bitbucket issues on project boards can be somewhat tiresome. But specific features, issues, and tasks from Bitbucket projects do make it on Trello, and I move / archive / delete tasks based on how things end up getting implemented. Usually if I delete or archive a task, I leave a short comment (e.g. deleted in favour of doing X, or resolved via issue #Y on Bitbucket, with any specifics for that issue put into the issue tracker).

I've been trying my best to quantify things into tasks and just throw them on Trello, rather than have things scattered between my email inbox, Bitbucket issues, etc, that I'm currently working on. As for indices / an index, I don't really find it necessary. Most of the long-form stuff I care about is in my "current" notebook, and I can more or less figure out where other documentation is if I need to find it.

Ask HN: Where are the split horizon DNS hosted solutions?
At this time in my life, I'm over self hosted DNS, however I still haven't found a solution provider that supports split horizon DNS. I imagine the internal side would have to have the provider set as the DNS resolver, but that seems a worthy tradeoff for a decent number of cases. Does anyone know of a existing provider? Does anyone know why this model is a bad idea?

In the CHIP's case, I don't know, but AllWinner had a tendency to build drivers into the Linux kernel without providing source and use modified versions of various libraries while claiming to have developed them internally.

The Raspberry Pi machines use a family of Broadcom chips. These include some kind of general-purpose processor built into the GPU (sometimes called the VC4 or VPU). During operation, it runs an RTOS that handles OpenGL ES calls, translating them to QPU instructions. During boot, it's the first thing brought up; it initializes the RAM, loads the next level bootloader, then starts the ARM CPU. There's an open-source video driver that does the OpenGL work (and I think actually supports OpenGL, not just the ES variant). There's work being done on making a bootloader replacement, but it's in the fairly early stages (https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware).

Maybe someone who knows about the CHIP itself will chime in with more detail on how it compares.

Regulation and Rents
I don't see it as being cynical, just as being rational. People rarely have a single motivation for their actions, even if they may report a singly motivation if asked (possibly the primary reason, or the one they feel comfortable talking about). I don't see why this would be any different for a corporation, generally being made up of many people.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with this. We just need to be sure we don't fall into the trap of thinking we can take what is presented at face value as the whole story, just as you can't when dealing with individuals much of the time. Apple is not our trusted old friend, that will look out for our best interests. They are at best an acquaintance that we have a business relationship with. That doesn't mean they won't act in a manner we appreciate, but it does mean we should not assume they will act as a good friend.
Ask HN: What technologies should I use for a bot and website results
[Goal]: Example scenario goal: I want to run a bot that scraps Hacker News for every title with the word "Spider" in it. Then I want to host a website that shows a chart over X time showing these spider counts. With links to HN article/comments.

[Potential thoughts]: I need something that can run a bot in a VM once per day?? What language/framework for bot or simple http query manual? Can this same Bot running VM also run the website? Should they be separate VMs or services?? Do I need a DB to store my numbers/links?

[Question]: What full stack of technologies/languages should I use to accomplish my goal?

[Experience]: Assume I have no previous framework knowledge and no prejudices, but overall capable programmer.

[Serious] This isn't a 'which one is best'. I would love each post to contain a full 'stack' of everything(techs/frameworks/links) I'd need to do the above task.

The sibling post to this covered much of it. As a previous RX-7 owner and racer, I can say the apex seals were prone to damage, especially if the engine was ever overheated. Much more so that overheating piston designs.
The side seals didn't tend to cause as much problem.

And of course, with the Wankel, if any single seal fails, the entire engine needs to be torn down. With a piston engine, you can often pull the head to perform a valve job or re-ring a cylinder, without pull the main engine block. Not such a big deal on newer vehicles, but as cars aged, it tended to limit their value in the used car market.

Exactly this, there is no reason you can't have something that's good for both cars and people with some effort, but so much of the US is just a giant middle finger to pedestrians.

I live in a fairly walkable area of the suburbs. I routinely walk to the grocery store, hardware store, restaurants, etc. And yet, the infrastructure kind of sucks. The most direct paths are missing sidewalks in a couple of places. The main road only has a sidewalk on one side for most of it. Many of the intersections have crosswalks on only one, two, or three sides. There are a couple of businesses I almost never visit simply because getting there requires crossing three crosswalks of the same intersection, then doing it again on the way back. And it's a dangerous intersection to cross which requires great care, because people routinely blow through red lights to turn right on red. Naturally, there is zero police enforcement of this.

It even goes beyond a lack of infrastructure and sometimes involves intentional barriers. I used to take a shortcut through the neighborhood next door, which gave me some variety and bypassed one of the bits of missing sidewalk. Then they put up a fence and I can't go that way anymore.

So many places in this country are within a reasonable walking distance of things, but make it unnecessarily difficult to take advantage of that fact. Get rid of pointless fences, put sidewalks and crosswalks everywhere, and you'd improve things significantly.

Cartagena is a beautiful, small city that's mostly for tourism. I go there approx. once per year.

Medellin is a mid-sized city with a perfect climate. It's currently the safest major city in the country. It's the most modern city as well. It has acquired a great reputation as a place to live and a lot of people are coming here. For example, I'm currently staying in my grandma's apartment and the guys of the apartment below are american, the ones above are german and the ones in front are portuguese.

Bogotá is the capital city; you'll find the best universities, best companies, etc. here. It's a big city with a nice cold climate. Lots of startups there BTW, including Authy (YC S12), Platzi (YC W15) and Rappi (YC W16).

I understand your frustration, I too just want access to decently priced, and various sizes of e-ink displays. From my time playing with the little adafruit displays, I also get where Visonect is coming from as a whole stack (hardware, controller, api, software) that makes it easier to just get up and going sounds pretty dang great.

I think what it comes down to for me, is I am not buying a dev kit to get hooked into an ecosystem that I don't have really clear pricing on. Which is really to bad. I think if you had a cheaper wifi only 6" model that people could afford to throw away money on just to test ideas out, then you would get way more people interested.

Speciation can occur more or less immediately if two species produce a successful hybrid. It's much more common in plants, but it happens in animals too. The idea is, you have two species that occasionally produce viable offspring, which are themselves reproductively isolated from their own parent species.

You are correct that AES's three key sizes are a result of the legacy of the military wanting "three levels of security" and NIST then asking for them. And since there is no requirement that they actually be more or less secure, they are practically equivalent - except for the known weakness in AES256, and the other in AES192, that don't present in AES128. In this sense, AES256 is somewhat shittier than AES128, even though there is no practical threat to anyone right now.

But in practice, the future does matter, both due to legacy systems and possible unknown attacks. If an unknown attack can drop the key space, and then over time that becomes a practical brute force, you've lost the game. Unless you raise your key size.

It's important to remember all the legacy cryptosystems that exist in embedded devices, all the support contracts that expire, and all the companies that go under and leave products that can only be tweaked and not upgraded. Lots of industries (healthcare, academia, government, embedded devices, 3rd party software, etc) rely on these products, and the more IoT is pushed the more crap is going to make its way into products that will never receive a firmware update. In some (many?) cases they will use shitty crypto, and the only defense that shitty crypto will have against the future is increasing the key size.

So the problem with your statement is you said key sizes don't matter. In reality, they just matter the least, right now.

To clarify what Ryan's getting at, the TypeScript community has started moving to Typings, but there were still issues and pain points that we needed to address to avoid common problems.

While we did write tutorials using Typings, that content will change to use npm by our next release. Our guides are pragmatic, and are meant to get you working with TypeScript today. Making users use nightly releases would've been a major pain.

That's an excellent point; I mentioned squirting oil before, but I overlooked that it serves another purpose in cooling the piston and the seals. Lots of modern engines now have oil squirters underneath the pistons to do this.

However, since, as you say, they have to burn oil to cool and lubricate the seals, that does make me wonder if this kind of engine wouldn't work much better with a lubricating fuel, such as diesel or kerosene (jet fuel), rather than gasoline. Kerosene is used in jet turbine engines largely because it is a lubricating fuel, so it serves the purpose of both fueling and oiling. The engine in TFA appears to be a rotary derivative, but they do say that it's designed to run on JP-8 jet fuel, not gasoline.

I think maybe they included the Starcraft II reference as a way to gauge performance, not as the primary purpose of the systems.

That said, apparently Wine performance loss is quite variable and ranges from negligible to quite large, depending on drivers and what actions the program is attempting (because not all syscalls that are proxies have direct equivalents, or may be as fast, but also may be faster, etc). But I haven't used Wine in a long time.
