Yeah, but Openbox isn't suitable for new users, at least not on its own. As part of something like LXDE or LXQt, it's definitely workable, but without a deeper understanding of Openbox, those are pretty much as good as any other Desktop Environment (except maybe that LXDE/LXQt are also among the lightest DEs around).

I would rather recommend either Ubuntu GNOME, if you want a rather unconvential, but highly integrated, highly user-friendly interface, or Linux Mint Cinnamon, if you want a cleaned up Windows-like interface, or Kubuntu, if you want a Windows-like interface which just smothers you in options, tweaks and customizability.
I was kind of pointing out that people know that mutexes in ISRs are a bad idea, but don't know as much about the other dragons that live in the same swamp ... they may also simply not be aware of what's inside their libraries (which ones use mutexes? 'man printf' doesn't warn me)

my point is that there are hidden mutexes in libraries that people often don't know about - his example of replacing new() with malloc() doesn't solve the problem, instead you need to be able to code your C++ without new, or at least the real-time bits of it (and that includes using stuff like strings and their libraries that do new() behind your back, or even printf which can run foul of the stdio hidden mutexes)

It's not just ISRs, priority inversion is a real problem that results in some of the hardest bugs to find (I once had to chase one that happened only once a month, resulting in satellite systems losing their provisioning)
> "If the image is too faint because of the signal to instrument precision (noise) ratio is too low, you will never get an image..."

I'm curious why this makes sense to you? Does it make sense that you could use an ordinary film camera and take a picture with an arbitrarily short exposure, say a picosecond?

With very, very low SNR it can take a long time to build up data. The reason why this is possible is because the real data, the signal, is correlated with itself, it builds up consistently with each addition of measurements. Noise, however, is uncorrelated, it's random, so it tends to evenly cancel (or even) itself out with additional measurements.
and mine did as it was being used like every other sentence. Younger and older were using it alike. I'm glad I asked for clarification.
Quoting the linked notice:

It is bad enough that the recent monster home epidemic is consuming every inch of a lot up to its maximum permissible limit to build supersized single-family homes. This legislation, in effect, enables the trend for a monster-home-plus-in-law at the cost of further eroding our mid-block open space that is a community resource providing residents with light, air, privacy, visual relief, and a much-needed psychological comfort zone.

I've never actually seen words like these penned, in favor of NIMBYism. SF is experiencing a "monster home epidemic"??? This is legitimately disgusting.

Ask HN: Would you sign a developer Hippocratic Oath?
> From what I read here on HN, SF is pretty messed up.

You probably shouldn't base your impression of SF entirely on the negative articles you read on HN. SF has some serious issues, but it also has a lot going for it. Namely, the job opportunities if you're in tech are great. The weather is great. Lots of the area is beautiful. It's a liberal area (great if that fits your views), including being LGBT-friendly. It's got some great culture if you're in tech.

The biggest problem with SF seems to be housing affordability, and that's frankly not a huge problem for 6-figure earners (not the way it is for the real middle class), despite all the self-pity. 6-figure earners in the bay can afford housing, even if they can't afford what they want to own.

> So, if someone doesn't want to live somewhere messed up, don't go there to begin with.

This isn't helpful for the nearly million people who already live in SF or the millions who live in the surrounding areas.
Indirectly, by forbidding stuff that could save lives.

On the other hand, they also save lives by forbidding stuff that would have killed people. Now the hard problem is to find the sweet spot where you minimised the lives lost by both over- and under-regulation. (In addition to improving the accuracy and efficiency of said regulation.)

> The article reads like they still don't have enough data to see anything.

That's because whatever signal is out there is quite a bit fainter than the initial estimates predicted it would be. If the signal were as strong as the initial estimates predicted, it would have been seen by now.

Honestly, this seems more like a problem with search algorithms than Stack Overflow.

If the canonical documentation is more helpful to more people, it should rank higher. If Stack Overflow Documentation is more helpful, _it_ should rank higher.

It doesn't hurt to try to create a resource that might end up being more useful to more people. But until it really is, it needs to be ranked as so.

You don't feel that way because he edited his article and in its original form it was VERY uncharitable to GoChat. Now, after the edits, it's only lying by claiming they're similar in performance profile, when in reality, in terms of realtime performance, GoChat is all GoSnap does PLUS a lot more extra work.
While speaking a common language usually (but not always) helps, being a US citizen is the way more important part of the story.

Police in the United States are used to generally treating everyone (including foreigners) with impunity, while cops in other countries dealing with US citizens are more wary of causing a diplomatic incident. There's also the novelty factor: people from high status countries are seen as interesting, and the more uncommon your presence is there, the more friendly interest officials take.

He's making a mistaken inference by assuming that how the police treat US citizens also reflects how they treat locals.
Understanding Customer Personas
In the general, yes, we're talking about privacy, but specifically, no, it's not what we're talking about -- we're specifically talking about Skype's need to be completely private, and how if it's not, we're somehow losing the battle for privacy everywhere, as if Skype's insecurity will make people unable to use PGP or some other good encryption.

Just because I can post a bulletin on a public poster board, doesn't mean I can't also write a private letter. There are no "weak" people here, and plenty of better battlefronts to wage this war. Every single messaging platform doesn't need to be completely secure, that's absurd.

Just to back up a second, what is it you think I'm advocating here? That we not have privacy??
Why should MS change its strategy? They might as well double-down on their strategy and grab as much data about you as they can. What are you going to do about it?

Show HN: AutoSpotting is now open source
We have the ability to build eDRAM with latency under 2ns and directly attach mass quantities to a CPU.

But it's more cost-effective to have a fast L2 and let your L3 and main memory be slower. In a multi-CPU machine you have to wait around anyway for a lot of memory accesses.

It's not the memory technology that bottlenecks memory. It's locating and routing data. And that cares a lot about better transistors.
All functions get compiled with exception handling unwind data, so you're going to get that pulled in whether the executable throws or not.

In order to not get that, you'll likely have to rebuild the entire runtime library with EH turned off.

Fingerprints aren't 2D, but the sensor is. The sensor does not directly measure the height of the epidermal ridges. Rather, the varying thickness of the epidermic vary the dielectric between the conductive dermis and sensor. So you can replace the ridges with something completely 2 dimensional but with the same dialectic pattern. A normal home printer ought to be able to do that.

I think the answer to this is the city should do all the land acquisition/architecture/engineering/environmental impact research/planning approval, and then offer that completed package for developers to bid on. This will make it much easier for developers to build projects as they'll not have to worry about paying these up-front costs only to have the city reject their proposals, while still allowing voters to ensure truly terrible projects aren't built. Surely there must be downsides to this approach, what are they?
7 best temporary offices in NYC for Freelancers
I deal routinely with use patents in the medical field. There's a chemical that's been in use for 30+ years to stabilize polymers from ionizing radiation. It's used in practically all gallon milk jugs to protect them from UV degradation. A company has a bright idea in 2006 that this chemical would also stabilize medical device plastics during sterilization (usually gamma radiation), and get a use patent on this stabilizer for use in the medical industry. 30+ year old technology, used in several fields, but requires licensing to use it in medical devices. And this is a world patent.

I'm guessing the patent would be a use patent. The patent is on a specific use of the math (although it doesn't sound all that specific from the claims that I've seen).
Most people can detect a lie like that. It's not what you say, but how you say it.

This was a serious problem with the situation though. He was eagerly complying but his continuing speaking to the officers was due to his concern of the other guy who was likely unable to comply with the officers that currently had their guns drawn.

My first guess on this from what I've read is that the officer fired because of answering a call of a man with a gun, seeing the toy truck as a gun, not hearing or ignoring the other man explaining the situation, man with toy truck makes sudden movement with toy, and finally officer fires missing toy guy and hitting the man on ground. All within the span of a few moments.

But that's a guess because I have no information on angles or distances of officer, toy guy, and shot guy. I would not be surprised that the officer didn't intend to shoot the guy on the ground but that's the way it turned out.

I would expect it to be ruled a bad shoot but who knows these days.

Something similar happened to me. I was a citizen of Uzbekistan at the time. I was about to fly out of Almaty. When the lady at the checkpoint saw my passport, she asked where my exit visa was. I never knew all the Uzbek citizens needed one to leave the post Soviet territory. So, I was denied my seat on the plane. Had to renew my ticket for $50. Come next day, another lady at the checkpoint says the same thing - without the exit visa I am not going anywhere. The plane was already boarding and I was about to miss it again. She saw me getting agitated and says "why don't you talk to this man here?". He said everything could be arranged for mere $300. Even though I was an actual student and poor as a church mouse, I had to pay it. I was let out.
