In my opinion, If you want durable wheels, the best way to go is wheels built by a _good_ wheel builder. That means properly tensioned (high), stress relieved (for fatigue life), and lubricated nipples (so you don't wind up the spokes). There are some places that will cater to tandems and touring bikes, but you have to be careful. I've seen a tandem specialty shop lace up a dedicated rear tandem hub to a lightweight mountain suspension front rim, with predictable results. Note that this is not a cheap option, as I think there's at least $150/wheel in parts here, as well as expert labor.

Parts wise, I'd look at something like:

* 36 hole hubs, either deore or ultegra level. 32 if you can't find 36. Not less than that. Some tandems go higher. This is more important on the rear wheel, where half (drive side) of the spokes are doing most of the work, because the other side's tension is so low.

* 3 cross, double butted spokes. It looks like the Dt Competitions are 2.0/1.7, which is a decent balance between elasticity and windup. 2.0/1.8 used to be my go-to choice, but that's hard to find now.

* Deepish section double eyelet rims, such as the Mavic Open Pro series. They should have closed section, not just a U for torsional rigidity.

* Grease the spoke threads and the nipple bearing surface.

* Tensioned just to the point of elastic instability in the rim, then backed off.

Reasoning:

* The key here is that you _never_ want a spoke to go slack under load. Once that happens, bad stuff happens with fatigue.

* 36 spokes puts either more spokes in the loaded zone.

* 3 cross lacing makes the spokes come in tangential to the hub, which reduces stresses on the spoke holes and prevents tearing of the hub.

* Double butted spokes allow the spoke to stretch more in initial tensioning for a given force on the spoke. As the rim deforms under load, the spoke will remain under tension to larger deformations.

* Eyelets make the nipples easier to turn in the rim, greasing even more so. Double eyelets also get support from second wall of the rim. I've had single eyelet rims (e.g. old MA series) fail where the inner wall of the rim pulled away from the braking surfaces.

* Grease the spoke threads and nipples. You want the nipples to turn on the spoke threads, not seize up and torque up the spoke like a spring. If you first ride a new wheel and hear it pinging, that's the spokes unspringing and unscrewing. Likewise, a good builder will always back off the tension a bit till there's no torque in the spoke.

* All other things equal, a wheel with twice the tension on the spokes will hold twice the load before you unload the bottom spokes, and have a much better fatigue resistance. So, take the tension as high as possible.
"How can a new developer just memorize all that stuff? “Code Complete“, the greatest exponent in this matter, is 960 pages long!"

First... do not memorize, but internalize, understand why they work, and when to apply which one. Use them to solve the problem of your code been read in 6 month by a serial killer that know your address.

Second... 960 pages. If you really want to advance the craft, if you really want to become a better developer, then you don't measure by the number of pages (<sarcasm>what a sacrifice, I have to read</sarcasm>), you measure by the amount of gold advice on the book. 960 pages is a lot of gold.

Third... If you read the whole blog and understood the value in following the Cliff notes to the Cliff notes that this post is, then you should be looking forward to read the 960 pages.
Well, the plan for what happens next depends in a large part on negotiations with the EU - who doesn't seem to care about negotiating if there is no clear wakeup call and time limit (like 2 years after taking article 50). The vote was a first step and clear signal that the British people are unhappy with how the EU treats them.

I meant to say Britain so yes it was an error. The tensions between England and Scotland (and to a lesser degree Gibraltar) are unfortunate, especially that the leave vote increased them again. Same with northern Ireland tensions. I have no opinion on whether or not they are supposed to stay together since this seems to be a problem rooted deeply in culture that I might not be able to fully comprehend.

Unless the software has nothing to do with each other.

A client software in Java, another client in C#, another one in Obj-C and a server software in C++ will be hard to test together, will share no code, and often be developed in independent development cycles, often by independent teams.

Putting such things in monorepos would be stupid.

Technically the European Championship is run by UEFA, which isn't directly part of the FIFA (but recognized by it).

Also, by that logic Israel is part of Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA#Members

Though I guess Israel must be European if it's also in the Eurovision: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_in_the_Eurov...

Upon closer inspection participation in the Eurovision Song Contest is restricted to countries that are members of the European Council or members of the European Broadcasting Union: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Broadcasting_Union#Me...

Here's an idea: a map of countries overlaid with membership in the various "EU" groups (i.e. including EC, EEA etc), membership in UEFA, membership in the EBU and participation in the Eurovision Song Contest (per year). That should answer the question of Europeanness of individual countries once and for all.
Ask HN: What PHP framework would you choose if you could start over?
Suppose you work at a company and a new project comes up with no reponsibility whatsoever to reuse existing code. The task is to create a web application based on a framework with the following features:

- GPL-compatible licence

- developed by community, not a company

- framework and application are written in PHP

- should be extendable via plugins/addons/extensions etc.

- cms features are included (or via addons)

- deployment features are included

- no php code in templates

- payment and shop features are included (or via addons)

What framework would you choose?

Also, feel free to share experience with web frameworks even if you don't know any framework that might fit.

For the rest: My employment contract comes in German and English, with the notice that the German one is binding in case of errors and the English one is a translation for convenience. I'd expect IT companies to provide this, even if they don't have it readily available.

Talking English: Maybe that was also because most people I know hate to stumble. Some kind of 'I try to avoid sounding stupid, so I rather feign to know no $foreignLanguage'?

Regarding contract issues: Let me tell you about random mails in Hebrew that I still get every now and then or my time in Israel, Tel Aviv, trying to get a bank account.. :-)

Situations like this are exactly where nested functions can be helpful.

I've always thought that it was a shame that C didn't have them.

Sometimes I almost wish that Algol flavored languages like Pascal anf Modula 2 would have won out for systems programming, instead of C and the languages it inspired.

Actually, GNU C supports nested functions, and a new round if standardization is just starting up, so maybe there's a chance?

> how do we deal with a public who feels that they are entitled the stuff

We increase the price. By taxing it for example. Capitalism deals with the rest.
I lived in a small town in Northeast North Carolina for years and watched the local Wal-mart turn a vibrant downtown there into a bunch of empty shops, then create another giant empty building when they relocated miles outside of town to capitalize on the interstate traffic, where they used their financial power to force the town to create an annex so they could get government services or they would move to the next town and take all the low-paying jobs with them. The people there have no choice, nowhere to go. They're conquered.

Back in suburban Northern Virginia, when a Wal-mart down the street from me closed up, the local (mostly immigrant) community converted it into a mall. They setup dozens of shops separated with curtains, a huge thrift-shop, and an amazing indoor playground. It's become a wonderful community resource and it thrives despite all the big-box stores just up the street. I don't see how you could do this with every empty store, but where communities have the resources and will, this is a great idea.
Argh, you may be right.

I was actually thinking of a separate example from physics (years ago) calculating the classical flow of particles through an aperture. Where you assume particles have maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of speeds and consider them travelling in all directions over 3D and also the effective size of the aperture vs the azimuthal angle of travel. It's quite similar to this example actually but given the speeds you also must account for which velocity range [v,v+dv] as a function of angle will put a particle through the hole in time dt.
Physical theories can't be "proven" in the same way as mathematical conjectures, so we have to rely on agreement with experiment, self-consistency, "simplicity" (e.g. Kolmogorov complexity or some approximation), lack of counterexamples/disproof, etc.

In this sense, I agree with Robert Harper (e.g. Practical Foundations for Programming Languages, section 22.2) that unprovable claims regarding computability may be merely "theses" to logicians, but to scientists they should be considered "laws" just as much as Newton's law of universal gravitation.

In fact, other than purported claims of "hypercomputation" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercomputation#Criticism ) or the anthropocentric "microtubule"-type theories popularised by Penrose ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestrated_objective_reducti... ), it seems that the computability of the universe is commonly accepted 'background knowledge' by most researchers in the field.

Even those making extreme claims in this area, like those refuted in http://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/npcomplete.pdf are presumably assuming that the universe is computable; there doesn't seem to be much point debating computational efficiency of soap bubbles if I thought (for example) that halting oracles existed!
Doing a deal which is positive for the UK will mean threatening the integrity of the EU (and all the potential economic chaos which could go with it).
I really thought this was already a well-established and known fact. I saw friend suggestions quite often after attending events where I ran into very loose acquaintances I never spoke to but share a few friends with. That by itself isn't too surprising, but the fact that this happens after we were geographically close led me to believe that this is common knowledge.
It is very childish and stupid to respond to a proof with a shit like "no, this is not a proof".

> The idea that static type systems are better to use (in general) because you can make dynamic type systems on top of them is simply not something you can just say and then have taken as fact.

Oh, did not realise you're so incompetent (although I should have guessed after your epic fail with the gradual typing). Do I have to prove that 2+2=4 too?

Once again: dynamic typing is a subset of static typing and therefore it is less powerful. Period. You cannot do anything with this fact.

Also, funny that you did not respond to my accusation that you believe that type systems are only for "validity checking". Which suggests that I was right.
I'm based in the Middle East and was really looking forward to this since announcement we use the Singapore region and currently get 105ms pings to our instances. Yet, how come I get 135ms pings to Mumbai despite it being MUCH closer (~1930km vs 5840km to Singapore) ?
> And then they’ll add little clauses saying “if any part of this agreement turns out to be illegal, you can cut out that portion of the agreement and the rest of it will stand.”

As will every attorney in the world for any contract. I don't think I've ever seen a contract without this.

Comcast does enough ridiculous and illegal stuff, we do not need to reframe standard practices as bad simply because it's Comcast that's doing it.

Just to be clear, wouldn't the alternative with a monorepo still require that you go back and forth with multiple teams if the commit is not backwards compatible? It seems like the main complaint you have is that it's difficult to wrangle a number of related pull requests, so perhaps switching to something like gitcolony [1] for code reviews would help.

It's interesting, and a certain rabbit hole of logic.

* The person around 100 years in the future is likely dead, so any utility is gained from using it before they die.

* Perfect capital markets which price in the future, for example, financial intermediaries paying you to work rather than the employer itself, ceteris paribus more efficient than current compensation schemes, on the condition you get paid 100% of the payroll if becomming CEO and pay back the bank, do not exist.

* Tragedy of the Commons - gain political/property rights to an unequal share of common property, then profit from this 'capital' right.

* Or an example close to my home, of a port and railway constructed on Tsar bonds with maturities of 100+ years which spurred the development, and chaos, in Northeast China, and turned pretty worthless with revolution and occupation. At the time, one of the most certain investments in the world.

What is 'value'? In the short term dictionary definition it is the price someone is willing to pay. Perhaps a tulip, or a cotton, or fur, jacket - the 'value' of these has varied far more than discount factors could determine. Much debate has gone into this for millennia.

We simply don't know the future. In retrospect, the long term return on capital is the long tern discount factor. But we do know it isn't priced-in efficiently, as we know we don't know what the future will be. Future value is a dependent variable. Though I am a fan of long term trends for short term things, outside of a couple of centuries, long term trends tend to fail, and 'this time it's different' even if drawn over the past half century doesn't work unless not a lot else is changing.
There have been lies and propaganda on both sides, I won't deny that. However, the coverage in the 'impartial' BBC has been anything but. There have been very few instances of information-rich coverage from any of the mainstream news outlets, the coverage has been much more about personality politics than about fostering a healthy debate.

I used to train kung long fist.

I was training a kati (kata in Chinese) that was very flowery (literally, the name of the routine had the word "flower" in it).

It felt useless and so I asked the teacher what some weirder moves were used for...

First thing he was pleased I asked, most students doesn't. Then he showed me... it was just brutal, several moves were bone breaking grappling moves designed to be used as counter attacks.

I suspect most practitioners don't know this because people don't want to learn this grossly violent stuff, and so teachers don't make and effort to teach what exactly they are learning, and several of the moves were risky and opportunistic, not the thing a newbie can pull off in actual combat.
You wrote "This is to uniform a hole slew of previously unrelated equations that can now be represented similarly."

You seem to be saying that introducing a new constant tau=2pi and redefining a slew of previously unrelated equations in terms of tau instead of pi is suddenly going to make them "uniformly represented".

I don't understand why they're not considered uniformly represented when defined just as consistently using pi?

And, given privacy issues and anecdotal reports of battery drain, I'll just forgo messages on that platform if they make the mobile site change permanent.
And then it's a poker game. How much are they willing to hurt their already lethargic economies to punish the UK? I reckon if all countries has a referendum, a fair few would vote to leave as well. It can't sit that well with people to punish the UK for leaving when there's a sizeable number of French, Dutch, etc, who want to leave as well.

That's why I was asking - I'm aware the City has all sorts of different rules because of it's history. I just don't know how those rules impact banking, finance, etc.
Hm... if anything, real growth is continuing faster than before - it's just that we often don't feel it so much any more! Clothes are insanely cheap, but we want designer stuff. Phones became supercomputers, but we want the newest iPhone with the best camera! We have exotic fruits from all over the world, but they're sooo expensive!

The problem is that these are the little things, and while they often make our lives better, they don't matter that much - definitely much less than child-care costs, education costs (and accessiblity), housing/rents, jobs/careers and healthcare. Unfortunately, these cannot be improved by globalisation and the free market, but instead often have their prices set by the highest bidder, which keeps getting richer because of rising inequality.

They'll still get hit hardest. Weak pound means more expensive imports. UK imports ~40% of it's food [1]. That food will now cost more to import raising prices at the supermarkets. Poorer people spend a larger %'age of their income on essentials like food.

The weak pound means importing oil (priced in USD) will be more expensive. This will affect Petrol prices (we're already seeing a 2-3p rise at the pumps). Poorer people spend a larger %'age of their income on essentials like fuel.

There are a number of knock-on effects from the weak pound. Yes it's good for exports but overall it's going to be a rough couple of years for the already disadvantaged.

Speaking to your point on competition as well - if the UK wishes to join the EU free market they will most likely need to accept freedom of movement. No treaty has ever been agreed with any country without this caveat (that covers the Swiss, Norway etc). It's possible that the UK may be an exception but it's unlikely.
