A lot of people talk about how important democracy is, but when given an important bit of local democracy they show they're not involved.

Most people don't know the differences between the town council and their local authority; they have no idea who their councillors are; they might not even know which party has control.
This looks impressive as hell.

Sorry, my wording was unclear. I mean asymptotically approaching zero, as opposed to, say, going to zero in a straight line and then switching to a constant zero once you get there (thereby creating a discontinuous derivative).
My experience is that if a cart is left in the lot, another customer is willing to pick it up and use that cart. A quarter profit and no change digging.

And the quarter is somewhat annoying at times, but regular shoppers often make sure they have on in their car. In addition, there are often folks willing to trade a quarter or make change and the cashiers will often make change as well. If all else fails, they are usually located in locations with other things nearby, so you can buy something smallish and be on your way with the shopping.
I have an original GameBoy which is about that age. Still works, still fun to play, but I need to replace the savegame batteries inside the cartridges.
My old man still has his first computer, a ZX-81.

Tried to get it working a few years ago, but couldn't get it to display on the TV. Wasn't sure if it was even powered on because the thing has no lights on it, it was prior to LEDs being commonplace. I didn't have an oscilloscope or the skills to debug it.

Having just finished off 4th year embedded systems I'm probably a bit more qualified to debug it now than I was in high school.
Using infowars.com as a source to debunk a claim made by several news outlets is quite interesting
When you have a continuum, species don't diverge. They interbreed. So the whole will just carry on. If a mutation occurs that stops interbreeding, then that line is likely to die out because of competition with the main line.

However, imagine rabbits on an island. There are zillions of them everywhere and there is a wide variety of mutations. Mostly it doesn't matter because most of them can interbreed, and the ones that don't die out. But one day the rabbits get a terrible disease and almost all of them die. The ones that don't die have a mutation that makes them resistant to the disease. Now you have a different kind of rabbit where they are all resistant to the disease.

This keeps happening. Not always disease. Sometimes their food source disappears. Sometimes a new preditor arrives. Sometimes the weather changes. Each time, they almost all die. Only the ones that could survive live.

After all of that, the island rabbits are very specialised. They might not even be specialised for the current conditions. For example the disease may no longer exist. The weather may have changed back. The predators may have died out. But it doesn't matter. They are very different than the original rabbits, and also very different from the rabbits on the mainland. So much so that the two can't interbreed.

There is no intermediate forms because they all died. If they had not died, the specialised form would not have developed.

We can observe this both in the wild and in laboratory conditions. Especially with short lived insects (usually fruit flies) we can actually see evolution happening in this way. But with rabbits... we tried to kill all the rabbits in Australia with a disease and ended up with lots and lots of rabbits who are resistant to the disease.

This is why it is important to teach evolution in school.
>WHY does this problem still exist, considering all of the resources at FB's disposal?

It might have long-term implications on their actual business, as people learn that the advertising isn't worth it but no one likes to think about that. They'd rather focus on "more important" long-term things, like VR and confined internet in second world countries.

In the short-term there is no incentive to solve the problem. Facebook has been boasting about membership usage since day one, when anyone who has experience with the ecosystem (ads or apps) knows that these fake accounts are a massive issue. But they allow Facebook to say, "1 billion people* use us every day!"

It's clear from the responses you received that it's nothing but lip service about doing something regarding fake accounts.

I agree that the UK needs electoral reform too. Ideally we'd get our own house in order before leaving the EU, but sadly if we vote to stay now we're unlikely to get the opportunity to vote again any time soon. The last UK referendum on the EU was in 1975. A vote to stay would probably mean staying in the EU for the bulk of my lifetime. If we want out, we should take the opportunity now.

As for the EU holding the UK in check, that's not quite accurate. It's true that the current Conservative government under Cameron has been damaging to public services, but that's not always been the case over the past 20 years. The Labour governments of Blair and Brown, for all their flaws, weren't pursuing the same type of wholesale undermining of public services. As an added bonus, if you want the policies of the Conservatives to stop, leaving the EU is likely to divide the Conservatives more than most parties, leading to a weaker party at the next general election.

Lastly, the EU does not always act to protect the people of the UK. As an example, take a look at what happened to the UK fishing industry.

If you just give out a number you suddenly open up the system to voter coercion. I can actually prove to you how I voted. Also, as a voter I can't be sure that they system that gives me the number does not save the link between it and me.

For preference voting you don't need e-voting. Using computers to help you count ballots (with an analog check and fallback option) is possible without actually collecting the votes electronically.

Not at all. Actual AI starts when the exact structure of the model is not known to the author. This is the realm of free form Hidden Markov Models, Support Vector Machines, Restricted Boltzmann Machines and variants of neural networks. Also certain clustering algorithms e.g. kernel projections.

Where the structure of such model depends on training data and is not chosen by the programmer ahead of time.

(Manually structured NNs, RBMs and HMMs do not really count.)

Can you have "high culture" and cars?

Empirically, all the towns and cities I like to visit are the non-high-rise pedestrian ones. They don't have to be old, but it helps.

My visits to the US have given me a very jaded view of what constitutes culture in the US. Small towns with small roads can be nice in the evenings, and that's about it.
> Why don't we have have sandbox execution environments in the OS itself?

We do, that is how mainframes work.

It is also available in Mac OS X, Windows and mobile OSes, one just needs to make use of the respective APIs.

I'm Italian, I LOVE Florence and I upvoted you. Indeed, nothing was given up to build that interchange. If you want to build a new Florence in the US, you won't be room-bound.

Yeah i think the problem for Linux on the desktop is not software but hardware.

More specifically the issue of getting preinstalled Linux out on store shelves right next to Windows and OSX.

In large part because there is no marketing machine to match Apple available, nor the deep pockets to get into a war of attrition with Microsoft.

The closest we came was when Asus shipped their original EEEPC. And Microsoft wasted no time offering a specialized license for Windows XP so that OEMs could offer it instead. Keep in mind that MS had stopped offering XP, and was trying to sell Vista at the time.

On top of that most stores have gotten damn used to the Apple MS duopoly. Thus anything thats not an Apple is a MS, with all the customer support problems that entails...
Thats the reason why most american cities lack a city center culture.
An `AudioContext` (which is the object that lets you do non-trivial audio in the browser) does most of its work on a special, high priority thread, off an audio callback.

Having `AudioContext` in a worker does not get you a lot. It's planned, but not prioritized very high. What happens when you're calling methods in JavaScript on an `AudioContext` is that we simply validate the input and queue messages to the audio thread, so this is effectively exactly what the article is talking about. We use some locking, but we've carefully wrote the code so that it's not really an issue. We lock just to swap two pointers in a message queue. This could certainly use atomics, but we have more important things to do first.

That said, the interesting thing developers need and want is `AudioWorklets` [0], and that's what we at the W3C Audio WG is working on more or less full-time, these days. It used to be called `AudioWorker`, but got renamed for a lot of reasons [1].

I know of one chain here in Norway that does this, but only in a few of their larger stores. I believe you have to set up a card with them that is connected to your bank account. They have regular lines as well for the folks that don't do this.

I somewhat assume that when this becomes cheap enough, some version of it will be in all the places, probably in conjunction with something that weighs the cart or basket to see if it matches up to what you have scanned.
There was me expecting a page with "4" on it.
I thought _tearing_ referred to a value being read while in the midst of being updated, so that, for example, some of the read bits comes from the old value and some from the new value.

Oh, and sometimes regularisation is confused with normalisation and other techniques aimed at making data scale invariant in some way.
> At this point I was tired so I fell asleep. This isn't done, of course -- we still need to chase the Rust program to figure out why that allocation never gets freed. But it's a start!

The type of .boxed() would probably help. I would expect a .boxed to return a Box<_> (e.g. Vec::into_boxed_slice(v) returns a Box<[_]>) which would get RAII-deallocated. So either .boxed() returns a raw pointer for some reason, or it properly returns a Box but leaks internally.
As someone who spent years maintaining Solaris systems, it always amazes me that there are people out there that like Solaris.

Writing for software engineers: here's the best book I've found
Try GraphViz. You write a text document that defines your record/object types, and then specifies the relationships. Basically just a directed graph, in an easy syntax with a reasonable amount of control over the nodes and edges. When the spec is done you run the tool on it and the graph is generated for you.

One thing I like about GraphViz is that it's really easy to write analysis software that generates the spec document. My most recent use case is parsing the sln and csproj files in huge c# code repos, figuring out cross-project dependencies based on references, graphing a dependency tree and a circular reference graph, and creating an msbuild file that optimizes build order. The visualizations are really useful for understanding the results.
I don't think it is about the price, maybe it is about the contractor market I was in, who knows.

I don't really mind, there are tons of opportunities around. There are tons of companies willing to hire people remote all around EU, UK and US and the pay is basically same like London, not even factoring the living costs.
Considering the size of gaming graphics cards, having a NUC is kinda pointless then :)

You do have to bag your own. Or buy paper or plastic. You also have the option to pick up empty cardboard boxes or bring your own bags.

Oddly, here in Noway, you nearly always bag your own groceries regardless of the chain. You pay a little for plastic bags, which are always decent quality. Most people turn around and use those bags for their household trash.

I have gotten much faster at bagging groceries since I've lived here. I have never really had a cashier tut-tut at me for being too slow: but the bagging are is divided into 2 sections and sometimes they won't switch back to my side. There is some social pressure to be quick about it, but folks seem to understand if one has a lot of groceries.

If we're talking about toy compilers and learning, then productivity isn't really in consideration. Having a self-hosting compiler for a non-trivial language means you've achieved the "bootstrap" stage, which is a significant milestone and really gives you a practical understanding of what's involved in developing a programming language. A compiler that is powerful enough to compile itself is on the way to exiting the "toy"/"theoretical" realm that most people who study compilers don't ever go beyond.
I'm just going to go ahead and disagree. Having an accurate calendar provides much more than just 'amusement', and is in fact an important part of an organized society.
I don't doubt the validity of Dwork's work. I think we're talking past each other.

What I'm saying is that if Apple keeps data on its servers that is sufficient to predict some of my actions or likes with any accuracy greater than 50%, then that is a privacy concern.

But if you're saying that the data in Apple's database does not have any predictive power on its own, then I agree that it is not a privacy concern.

In that case, my device would have to download some of Apple's data and combine it with data that resides only on my device in order to make a prediction locally on my device.

If that's how it works then I have no concerns.
It might not be the case for HN readers, but a lot of people who complain about the undemocratic nature of EU never vote in local elections.

Visitors in the US can't help to notice just how much emphasis was put on cars when designing cities (e.g. LA). I wonder if that design has paid off, given that today's technology can be used to significantly lower city traffic.
To build on the suggestions other people are making, I would say that one thing I look for in the transition from to "senior" is the ability to make the people around you better. At the junior/entry level, a lot of your focus is about consistent delivery for yourself. As you move up the ranks, its about making you and your team better.

That could be removing roadblocks by flushing out designs and specs like other people have mentioned, or finding better processes and practices to make the team more effective. Of course, there is also the proper introduction of new technology or techniques to raise the company forward as well.
Pray. Or build a new training set including a diverse samples so that you are less likely to enter the regime of extrapolation.
China disagrees with you. They're building a bunch of AP-1000s, the same new GenIII+ design we're building in the U.S. "The timeline is 50 months from first concrete to fuel loading, then six months to grid connection for the first four units, with this expected to reduce significantly for the following units."

Yeah, maybe not the best source.

Though talking of sources, the Daily Mail for example gives oilprice.com as it's source which says amongst other stuff:

which seems kind of iffy to me. Like Putin is really concerned with the DOJ investigation into Hillary and that is what leaks to the west rather than say their dealings with Ukraine or Turkey. Sounds more like some US based right winger to me.

ARMv7 works on deferred consistency between cores and memory. So, even if the write itself is "atomic", which should rather be called tear-free, there is no inherent synchronisation of writes and reads to the same memory location.

> Can you have "high culture" and cars?

Yes.

The centres of high culture from centuries ago were also centres of traffic and trade, they were not pleasant "liveable" cities, indeed, they typically had huge slums. The origin of the word ghetto is a neighbourhood in Venice. Today, it's UNESCO World Heritage at all, and probably on the list of places you like to visit (and, incidentally, smaller than a Walmart) -- but 500 years ago, it was a prison for jews.

Whatever future generations will recognise as high culture of our present day is very hard to predict, and I'm not at all certain that they will consider the absence of car infrastructure a key feature. Silicon Valley, being ground zero of the information revolution, certainly has a decent claim, and it's nothing if not cars all over.

The US is huge, and we could build anything we want. The problem is that we don't see what we have given up by not living closer together. The dream of car culture is that we as individuals can live in a huge area, with vast potential for interaction. But the truth of what we have built is that we are cut off from one another. The "square" that I pass through every morning is a massive intersection of two suburban highways. Behind our tinted windows, we wait in long lines for out turn signal. We drive to the gym and fight for that close up parking space so we won't have to walk. Why? Because the exterior environment we have built is horrific. This is not the life I want to live.
I reject the idea that we can't live in nicer places. Americans learn the wrong lesson from visiting Europe. They think that a place has to be hundreds of years old to be livable. But we can build anything we want. Politics need to get out in front and not drag us back. Moneyed interests need to take a chance. Because when given a choice, people will choose a walkable, livable world.
