Coming from a climbing background I can say that tendons, ligaments and pulleys are very common injuries because they take the longest(years!) to strengthen up to the demands that climbing puts on them. Take it slow, listen to your body, and rest enough.
My Blogging Experiment: Why It Failed and the Lessons to Learn
With that reasoning, you should write your own kernel too -- you realize that the kernel scheduler will take locks at some point, right?

I think that malloc is a sufficiently abstract operation here that its implementation shouldn't constitute whether the algorithm as a whole is lock-free or not.
Trying to read ClearType for any length of time beyond casual glances actually makes me dizzy and my eyes start watering because of the lack of sharp edges to focus on. Non-subpixel-AA still looks slightly blurry, but I don't get the same "WTF is happening to my eyes" feeling. I prefer non-AA as well, and in the example screenshots posted in the other comment here, it's the font to the left, describing the current settings, that I find most readable.

I wonder if part of the reason for those studies indicating that ClearType "improves reading speed" is because of that - slowing down to focus on the letters feels unpleasant, so people try to scan through the text as quickly as possible.
I find the anti-HTTPS fixation equally bizarre. There are lots of approximately image-sized files one might download, so simply knowing that "IP X transferred 700MB of data from IP Y" is not the same as knowing that "IP X downloaded CentOS from IP Y, therefore target IP X with CentOS-specific attacks".
I believe if we passed these rules, you'd see schools open just on the other side of the border. But, my idea is that it would be accompanied by a guest worker program, that would allow someone to come for say, 8 out of a rolling 12 year period.
This can be true even if there's something "obvious" on the MRI, since the importance really depends on the base rates of that abnormality in healthy individuals without symptoms[1]. For example, it's easy to find bulging discs when looking for the cause of back pain, but bulging discs are also very common in asymptomatic individuals[2].

It's not a specifically American perspective at all. Please note, I'm talking about economic class. As others have pointed out, social class and economic class are quite different things.
Me too (in part, though I missed the word "hash"). Natural collisions exist but it's bloody hard work to force a collision on a modified 800MB binary file.

That's well before you consider the group security of torrents (hashed chunks, optional SSL on tracker, etc).

It's easier to distract somebody and get physical access to their computer.
Yoga is a great idea for many — probably even most — people, and has certainly been good for me. Another comment suggested the possibility of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (among other things, a connective tissue disorder), however, for which yoga can be somewhat contraindicated. I'd want to that rule out before beginning a yoga practice beyond Yin or restorative.

A friend with EDS practiced and taught Ashtanga for years before her diagnosis. The ways the syndrome affects the joints meant that she was able to perform asanas from the later series within a couple years of beginning her practice.

Since she was doing stuff she was only capable of doing because of her condition, however, and not stuff she'd trained up to, she ended up doing significant damage to her joints; she's at the point now where her shoulders often dislocate just from carrying too many full grocery bags up the stairs.
Don't make the mistake that got Swedish ice hockey player Ulf Samuelsson ejected from the 1998 olympics as he had received a US citizenship and should have surrendered his Swedish citizenship [0]. Though I see they allow dual citizenship since 2003.

Check the specific rules. For instance I know Norway don't allow dual citizenship, with one exception if parents are from different countries. Hence my kids have Norwegian and British passports.

As it happens, I have a proof that 1 == 2. Of course my proof involves a step that involves division by zero, but if it's legal to define undefined results, then why can't I do that if it helps my proof?

Because as far as I can tell (with my admittedly limited understanding of mathematics), that's basically what's going on here: they define the result of 1-1+1-1+1-1... to be 1/2, which it can of course never be. The result is never 1/2; it's either 1 or 0. Taken to infinity, the only reasonable definition for that sum is undefined. If I can say that 1/2 is fine too, then I should also be able to attach my own definition to 1/0.

Also, if string theory really relies on such questionable mathematical steps, then that would make me question string theory even more. As far as I understand, string theory makes no testable predictions, which suggests to me that no results based on this questionable mathematical trick have been experimentally verified. If there is some real, experimentally verified physics that relies on the sum of all natural numbers to be -1/12, then I'd love to be corrected (though I doubt I'll understand it).
> The Simpsons is about a man who can always support a family of five people and two pets on a blue-collar worker's income

He's a nuclear safety inspector; does that count as blue-collar? I don't really know much about the job frankly. I don't think it's implausible that it may be quite enough to support a family, especially in a small town.

Not to defend the realism of the Simpsons wrt his job, but I'm pretty sure the joke is that he manages to keep his well-paid, relatively important job.
What constitutes the whole of american ideals is somewhat nebulous is what I was saying. I value american ideals, but my concept of what american ideals mean - outside of a few very key items - may vary widely from another person my age, with a similar background.
"The problem is digital cameras would never replace film as a business even if Kodak went 100% into digital. They needed to diversify."

In my short time in business, I have noticed how rare it is for a company to successfully get smaller and survive- even when the obvious business is going away.
> Why did the court make such a boneheaded decision on appeal?

The appeal was never decided. The patent was invalidated at the USPTO. That decision was appealed. Meanwhile, MIPS got a favorable trial ruling, and the whole thing settled before the Federal Circuit heard the appeal.
Hearing a policeman take responsibility for his life getting derailed really moved Jamal. He agreed to come into Link's office.

They are doing good work. This all fits with everything I have ever read about how to undermine extremism, radicalization, etc. Time does not tend to heal such wounds. It tends to make them fester. That doesn't mean they cannot be healed.
Also brightness. At night you just need a bit of light so you can still see stuff, without the light disturbing your circadian rhythm. At daytime you want the light to be much much brighter.
Regarding your aside, if you develop black and white at home, there are kits to develop C-41 and E-6 at home as well. They're as easy as any standard black and white process.
I think my google-fu was a bit off today clearly but I appreciate the links. Thanks!

"Months of expenses in the bank" is a great questions. As I understand they are claiming to have a large yearly revenue stream. This makes me want to conclude they will be stable for some period of time, but quantifying how many months of operating expenses are currently available gives a much more true current position.
Ask HN: Craigslist and crawlers
I wrote a small crawler for Craigslist making absolutely sure that it obeys the robots.txt rules.

Sure enough, after a few hindered of requests my crawler got banned.

Doing a simple search at Google, I can see from the results I get that CL is happily allowing Google bots.

I strongly believe that this discrimination against small players is highly unethical, but my question is, is it breaking any laws or maybe anti-monopolistic rules?
In this case, I believe they inherited it from the last remaining heir of another noble family that had owned it for nearly 600 or 700 years.

If I remember right, that family received it as a gift from a king at the time. While in principle I agree with your notion, I don’t think the government should be taking away property in this day and age anymore.

At the end of the day, how far do you have to go back to protect property rights? If a family has owned a plot of land for nearly a thousand years, is it not yours then? Do we need to go back further?
ipython shell is great for quick jobs, and is taking over a lot of what I used to do with long pipelines of cut/grep/perl -n, etc.

Being able to grab some filenames/contents with

foo = !ls
bar = !cat *.txt # returns list of lines

is super handy. And the real shell is always just C-z away, if I need it.
Finally. To be honest I switched back to using Windows on my private machine because font rendering on Linux (using Chromium and Firefox) was more like a lottery than something readable without enough alcohol.

A pity it will take some time to ship to Debian Testing, I'd love to try it without having to recompile the whole system.
Relativity on Rotated Graph Paper
I get the impression that Jeremy Corbyn (in the UK) is much better than Bernie Sanders at helping build grassroots organizations that hopefully persist without him. I heard Bernie Sanders compared with Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition, whose energy & commitment faded away after Jackson wasn't elected. Same with Ralph Nader, apparently.
It seems like no one realizes that this is a audiocast. Yes it's an hour, but listening to NPR is the thing to do on Sundays!
The consumer can't put the water in her tank and drive her car away. Since she has skin in the game, everyone upstream from her does too. It is reasonable to blame an "abstraction" that removes consumer interest entirely, and doesn't substitute some other control of equivalent strength. The minute I heard of "cap'n-trade", which was decades ago, I expected exactly this sort of scam. Those who designed this scheme, unlike the useful fools who provide political cover for it, did so with exactly the same thought.
>double the rooms...for little tangible advantage.

IF you can't understand why some people consider a larger house to be an advantage, then you are really failing to understand a large segment of humanity.
Yeah, have an upvote. This is totally a case of "using an industrial core drill with tungsten carbide bits when all you need is an Ikea drill and a chinese cheese-grade bit".

Sounds like this guy just found out about a cool new tool and decided to blog about it. BGP can be used on local networks but it's total overkill for a docker situation where all of your instances are likely in the same rack (often on the same machine!). Ifyou don't even have an AS from ARIN/RIPE there's no reason to even touch this (as you pointed out, it's all the protocol is designed to broadcast to the public internet -- e.g. 'hey I own this AS which has rights to this net-block, direct packets in this fashion please!' Jeez.

I have no idea what the CPU overhead of running this is but I'm sure it's not trivial, especially if the BGP daemon is tuned to retain any significant amount of the whole BGP table (RAM/swap issues galore I'd imagine). Granted the article is titled 'one way'.. which is empirically true, it's a Rube Goldberg way of going about networking.

(n.b., OSPF is what people use for "BGP" within your own intranet, even when you have tens of thousands of boxes. It's called "border gate protocol" for a reason..)

(Sorry, I don't use docker so I can't actually make a constructive comment telling you what the canonical/right way of doing it is, but I can assure you, this is not it.)
But what about a runway where the wind almost never changes direction? I imagine LAX is like that, being perpendicular to the coast.
It's, at the very least, a cool, novel use for Vulkan.
This is actually a much better calculation than the one in the video, because it doesn't rely on undefined == 1/2. But it does show that some of the other steps in the video are bogus too, so it's even worse than I thought. I thought that just the 1-1+1-1+1... = 1/2 was the problem (the equivalent of the division by zero in all those 1==2 proofs).

I count it as failed if the government is spending money from the budget on unnecessary items while any social problem is still unresolved. That includes homelessness, poverty, health-care for the poor/needy/elderly, etc. Same goes for crime, road-fatalities, and a multitude of other things we expect of the government. These should be largely solved problems by now, especially with the technology available these days.

Either way, yes you are most likely statistically right. Spending on healthcare, poverty, and disabled individuals probably directly correlates with their well-being. You were presenting a case against a hypothetical ideal, and claiming it would not be able to fix social problems in a non-idealized setting. The counter-claim to that is that those very same things are not resolved in a society almost-exclusively run by state-governments, either. Whether 1st world or otherwise.
You failed to paste your second link correctly.
As far as I know the cross is technically the coat of arms, which probably has to do with the whole confederation thing. Passports do usually have quite different backgrounds inside, but generally you of course want them to be as recognizable as possible.
On the other hand, Stradivarius made 1100+ instruments, which even over his long career - 77 years - comes to more than one per month, and probably more than that over his prime period. He certainly doesn't sound like someone agonizing over making the perfect instrument, instead improving them version by version.
Pentax is also the only brand to make affordable medium format digital cameras.
I've been on the receiving end of some of this at some point in my life and I'm happy to report that suing the government (to be specific, the Queen) in NL actually works and you can win.

It will cost you some money and some time but given a good lawyer it is definitely possible to hold government officials accountable.
RPM doesn't have any bigger risk than using dpkg. You shouldn't be using either manually (unless you really know what you're doing). Using dnf/zypper/yum on the RPM side and aptitude/apt-get/whatever on the debian side should prevent any of those types of risks.
Yeah, the virus of any kind of opposition to Erdogan's permanent rule.
What a bizarre thing to wish to argue nuances about. I just thought the passport was neat, had cachet and I really like the idea of being a "Citizen of Earth". I'm actually sorry I even mentioned it. But since you wish to be pedantic:

I said that holders don't require Visas in many countries - According to the second paragraph of the Wiki link there are at least 29 countries. This qualifies as many.

I also said "You get to bypass the regular folk and use the diplomatic lane for processing" - As per the Wiki link, it's considered equivalent to a "Service Passport". This allows processing through diplomatic lanes at airports that have them. Further reference is here: https://books.google.ca/books?id=RpIDDAAAQBAJ&lpg=PA508&ots=...

Lastly, I said "some versions …carry diplomatic privileges (including immunity)". Here is a chart with some more details (see "International Organizations section"): http://www.slogold.net/diplomatic_immunity.html It clearly says support staff enjoy immunity for official acts and higher ranking officials (with the red version of UNLP) enjoy full immunity.
Continue with the medical route. If you're not satisfied with your docs, find better ones. Demand they address your specific concerns, and any failure of treatment or diagnosis to address root causes.
I counted it myself too until I realized the website provided that.

My second citizenship adds 6 countries to my first, for a total of 163. These 6 include Yemen, Syria, Rwanda, Mali, Guinea and my second country itself, so I guess at the moment it probably only counts as a +4, really.

However, if I were to travel to one of those countries, I think I'd rather apply for a visa with my European passport, to make sure I can request assistance from the consulate should anything happen.
You could get any result you want from this kind of proof. Someone else here already used some of these steps to prove that 1+1+1+1+1...==0.
I was 99% sure this was going to be another one of those jokes like http://vanilla-js.com/.

It's kind of sad that it isn't.
Rochester NY resident since 1982, Kodak's peak employment year. Wrote embedded software for Xerox for a couple years around 2000. My belief is that companies like Kodak, Xerox, HP, IBM, etc. have business structures that cannot survive in a low margin business. These companies drove and thrived with technological change for decades. The leadership could not accept the change of their key lines of business into low margin commodities.
You've ignored opportunity costs.

Consider my Tiny House project. I estimate it shall cost me 50-70k. The average house price in my area is quarter of a million euros and the total life long cost of a loan brings that up to half a million euros.

Instead of working for an employer to obtain either 180k (if I save) or 450k (if I borrow) I can begin my own business instead.

i did not mean to imply that a hardfork can't be implemented in that fashion, I should indeed have written "the hardfork" instead of "a hardfork" as that's the way this specific hardfork has been implemented, I appologies English is not my native language.

My understanding of that blog post is only what the default value of supporting or not supporting is meaning the hardfork code will be merged in either case and that it's only whether it's active by default that's changed depending on the vote.

Not that it really matters anymore as block number 1894000 has already passed and the code merged with hardfork support enabled by default.
This is something I'd posted previously on HN:

I worked at Kodak as a summer intern in '85. Was the era of the disk camera. Was also my first programming job. Lotus 1-2-3.

Most people today can't comprehend the scale of American manufacturing as it still was at that time. The Elmgrove plant where I worked (one of a dozen facilities in the Rochester area) has over 14 thousand employees. Our start and end times were staggered in 7 minute increments to manage traffic flow.

That none of that would exist 20 years later was inconceivable at the time. The word "disruption" wasn't in business vocabulary. Nor was the phrase "made in China". Some senior technical managers saw the "digital" writing on the wall. But what could they do? What could anyone do? There was no way to turn that aircraft carrier on a dime.

At the end of my summer internship, I attended a presentation that our small team gave to more senior managers at the top of Kodak Tower in the conference room adjacent to President Chandler's office. One of the managers took me to the window and pointed out to me different plants and facilities of the vast Kodak empire spread out across the Rochester region. I assumed like many that Kodak had a bright future ahead because they had a world-renowned brand and excellent scientists and engineers. What many at the time didn't yet recognize was that there was no business model in digital cameras that would employ 100 thousand engineers, managers, factory workers, technicians, and staff. There were certainly no senior managers willing or able to sacrifice the golden goose of film to pursue something entirely different.

Film is expensive but its still unbeatable in terms of dynamic range and details, especially if you go to larger formats than 35 mm.

This is a story about Somali Jamal in Denmark, who planned to join ISIS with his friends. But a cop called him, and apologized for uh.., thinking he might be a threat. So Jamal uh, changes his mind, but two of his buddies don't and die in Syria.

So if you hug a terrorist, he might not want to kill you as much, maybe.

You know who doesn't have this terrorist hugging problem?

Japan.
I've tried this product. It exacerbated my tennis elbow.

I don't understand the "the our product was so successful we were forced to end trials" argument. How long is the trial? 4 weeks? How big is the control group? 8 people? Is it really unethical to have the control group wait a few weeks to start using the effective treatment? This sounds like the exact argument that a snake oil salesman would use.
The real minimalism in life, in my opinion, includes never worrying too much about stuff, maintaining some sort of separation between oneself and things, ignoring, to some degree, things themselves as well as whether they are indeed satisfy the minimalist criteria or not. Thus, true minimalism would even deny any substantial significance to the idea of minimalism itself. Animals are like this - they could be seen as minimalist while they obviously don't think much about it.
You didn't read the article did you? Did you see the part about Jamal talking a lot about Jihad? Maybe they mixed it up with syracuse and were really trying to get to go on Vacation in NY.
Assuming the patent is simply "curved superstructure" and not "superstructure designed to minimize a certain function of wind shear forces over a variety of angles vs a vector parallel to the direction of travel". That's not a trivial problem; its not clear anybody else has ever done it this particular way; and it has a clear business application (minimizing fuel costs for maritime transport). Sounds like a home run to me!
> You mean /etc/network/interfaces?

No. It's a configuration file for a separate set of tools that actually
configure the interface for you. You can't set its current IP address by
writing to any file.

Sorry, no banana; you only can control two or three aspects this way, and not
the most fundamental ones at that.

Network interface is simply not a file, it's a separate OS-level construct,
it's not exposed to userland as a file. Not everything in Linux or unix is
a file, even though many things (the ones more remote from kernel) are.
Here is an example:

One of the best treatments for tennis elbow is heavy icing.

What? As someone who hates Windows' Font rendering, why would you want this?

The OS X font rendering is awesome, on Linux, Infinality can be tweaked to look even better, but windows? It's hideous, inconsistent and terrible to change...
Oh god, I'm going senile, or perhaps it's deja vu. I'm sorry.

:-\
You might want to give a hidpi display a try (where vector fonts are pretty much essential). All standard ~96 DPI displays look blurry to me after using one.

Though beware of Windows' ClearType, which seems to do a bad job on hidpi: it renders very thin glyphs, and the glyph width discontinuously jumps from 1px to 2px when you change font size. It tries way too hard to snap to pixels. OS X and freetype (tested: 2.6) do a much better job on hidpi.
I've looked into these processes years ago but backed off because they seemed to require some really stringent temperature control. Is it no longer the case?
