Ok, so while irrational, what makes this not mean that FOXDIE is about to become a reality?
I do have such mixed feelings here... on the one hand, it irritates me when the federal government interfere with in-state laws and operations... on the other, these states are doing the same to local municipalities.

All said, really would be nice to see some sanity regarding campaign donations, PAC funding etc.
It's human nature to crave sex, maybe not with every single person you meet, but certainly with more than a single partner in your entire life, right? For thousands of years, Christianity attempted to "work on this" aspect of human nature and make non-monogamous sexuality taboo. It was fairly successful at it. Yet (depending on your perspective) it only took somewhere between a few years and a few decades post-sexual revolution for it all to come crashing down spectacularly.

If the most powerful institution in the western world couldn't "fix" this aspect of human nature over millennia, it is sheer arrogance to think we can do better today.
I read ADA first as Americans with Disabilities Act (https://www.ada.gov).

In all seriousness,

Ada the programming language is named after a person - the English mathematician Ada, Countess of Lovelace known as "the first computer programmer" (

Is there a reason why you don't like autoplay videos?

One thing to keep in mind is that the kind of place which cares about things this much tends to be the kind of place which can hire staff — and it's a lot cheaper to hire technicians who can verify that epoxy plug than the security engineers who can confirm that you've done everything right in software.

Consider another instance of the problem: verifying that your webcam isn't being used to spy on you. Since a surprising number of hardware designers were negligent and made that software controllable it is orders of magnitude easier to simply deploy a piece of tape than try to prove that malware hasn't disabled the status LED:

How much skill and diligence does it take to confirm that you have disabled the controller using each manufacturer's interface (if they even have one documented), that there isn't some way to re-enable it later (or that something like a sleep/resume cycle didn't reset the controller), and that all of that continues to be true for every subsequent configuration change or software/firmware update?

I would suggest that any organization with this level of risk would be better off paying someone $15/hour to check the ports along with the rest of their physical status checks and put the security engineers in charge of other improvements with a higher return.

> ... instead of trying to change it at its roots?

Because eugenics went out of fashion a long time ago. The "roots" is free will, so you can't really change that without horrific consequences. Using birth control (voluntary and involuntary) to bias the population was a popular idea in the 1920s. China's latest gamifaction of "social credit" is another biasing attempt. I'm not aware of any "roots" solution that doesn't require total surveillance or head measurements...
Yeah, I see now, thanks to the other source. The Register's misuse of "key" followed by excessive drivel in that article had me navigating away with the wrong impression before I could make the connection.
In C, a function with no parameters is variadic. You need to add "void" to preclude parameters. This is one of the few breaking changes in C++ where no parameters means no parameters.

Which is funny, because games would have benefited more from half (16 bit floats) HW support. There is almost no support on CPUs (X360's CPU had conversion to and from half, IIRC, and ARM in handhelds supposedly supports full half arithmetics), even less on x86/x64 CPUs specifically.

It's definitely not proven to be correct; we definitely don't know for sure that integer factorization is in NP-hard. If I remember correctly, it's generally suspected that factorization is not NP-complete (and thus outside of NP-hard).

Wikipedia has it first on their "list of problems that might be NP-intermediate", i.e. problems that are in NP but not in P or NP-hard. [0]

Wow. The power of HN. We did our webinar today and had attendees from the Netherlands, Germany, Serbia and the US. It was exciting to have an international audience.
I don't get how anything designed in the past couple years for something like this could be done in such a way as to crash and burn like this...

I mean, a couple geo-redundant C* clusters, and a load-balanced API server... Hell, design around (AWS|Azure|Google) cloud's big-data offerings, provided they meet legal/security concerns, and this would have been highly unlikely, or at least had appropriate help from the cloud provider for what that structure would have brought.

I don't know the details, but a multi-million dollar project for something like this should have been able to handle a LOT of load, if properly engineered like a project such as this should have been.
Agreed, though Tesla's autopilot feature explicitly makes it clear it's not self driving. It's still an assistance, albeit a very good one, somewhat true to the definition that an autopilot system "doesn't replace the human operator".

I do think Tesla have their work cut out in distinguishing what autopilot actually is vs the general Persephone that autopilot means "it controls itself, autonomously".

>>The term "driver" will still fit. We apply it to someone guiding a camel to a destination.

No we don't. People ride camels, not drive them. In fact, that's a perfect illustration of the point the parent is making. The reason one doesn't drive a camel is because a camel has a mind of its own. You guide the camel to a specific destination, just like you guide a semi-autonomous car to its destination. In both situations, you may need to take direct control, either by yanking on the reins or grabbing the steering wheel, but for the most part, the vehicle/animal does its thing.

You may be thinking, "wait a minute... we ride bikes too! Does that mean they have a mind of their own?" I would posit that bikes and motorcycles are are exceptions - the reason we ride them is because doing so resembles riding a four-legged animal.
Look pretty cool! Somehow between work and personal groups, the number of Slack teams I'm on has multiplied greatly. I'm guessing this might be more for intra-team Slack summaries but if it ever lives across teams, it would be awesome! I miss messages constantly.
And if that malware can't liberate USB access, and still needs to read data (rather than just writing it), it could exploit the capacity for various devices to emit detectable EM radiation. The fake keyboard/mouse, being inside the Faraday cage, would be able to sense that radiation and extract data that the malware in its payload sends back to it.

In fact, all of this would work equally well with a PS/2 port.
I tried to use Spacemacs but in vim I have hjkl mapped to jkl;. I simply could not find a way to do this in Spacemacs. All the solutions suggested did not apply to every mode and there was always some mode where I had to revert to hjkl. Is there any solution for this problem?

I do always corroborate what my doctor say.

-with another doctor
-as a conclusion from information on the internet.

For example I had a kidney stone, I were recommended to get surgery immediately, I was going to get Shock Wave Lithotripsy... after long weeks of checking the conclusion was that due to offerings in my country I had to wait to have the kidney stone lower in order to have it extracted via Ureteroscopic.

I got this knowledge after at least 10 different appointments.

Luckily for me I found a document by an USA Kidney organization depicting procedures and satisfaction outcome.

I don't mind the downvotes, but more interested to know why if anyone cares to comment? I should have specified that by desktop/mobile, I do mean desktop/laptop essentially (and, not smartphone CPUs). And, I am talking about Intel/AMD largely, and how I perceive their evolution over the past two and half decades.

In short, I think "optimizing for games" means nothing to a CPU designer at say Intel, and anyways qualitative differences (expanding the ISA, or integrating new features on the IC) are more expensive to develop and sometimes tricky to market. Instead, marketing quantitative differences is much easier (hence optimize for benchmarks) - though arguably no easier to develop. Witness Intel's first rocky attempt at targeting the benchmarks in the early 2000s: Netburst [0]. Of course, in the past 5 years, things have changed (the rise of smartphones, meteoric rise in GPU performance with expanding markets & new software, CPU "per core" performance stagnation), so Intel is in the process of re-positioning itself.

WeWork Misses Mark on Some Lofty Targets
It's obviously an implementation issue. The question is how do otherwise sane-appearing individuals end up writing code like that? How does it even pass a preliminary usage test? And so on. This wasn't some big enterprise, either.
Then the state would have to own the network. That's inconvenient and a bit prone to corruption.
You're wrong about one thing... The low skill jobs didn't vanish. They moved to places where wages and regulation (safety, environmental, etc) are less.

The people who made Fisher Price toys in East Aurora, NY were made redundant by equally low/moderate skill workers in Mexico and later China. Your undershirt was made in North Carolina until the late 80s, and shifted to a variety of places until it hit the bottom -- Bangladesh.

The IBM people who assembled Power servers in Minnesota were replaced by Mexicans. The Dell folks in North Carolina and Texas were replaced by Mexicans, Taiwanese and Chinese.

What you characterize as low skill work and workers still exists and isn't being automated away to the extent that the average HN commenter would suggest.

I question the value to the consumer as well. The shoes on my feet are made in some mega-factory in Guangdong. They cost more than the shoes I bought a decade ago that were made in Maine, and are of similar quality. IMO there's a lot of middlemen or some sort of self dealing going on -- producing shoes in massive bulk should push prices down, not up.

Supply and demand, the one thing economists get right.

You seems to be assuming the supply of software developers will keep outgrowing the demand for them. Why? I predict the exact opposite: As the developing world develops, local demand for software will keep outpacing global capability to create developers. I live in the developing world, I should know.

99% of people cannot play an instrument. 99% of people cannot draw. 99% of people cannot do math. 99% cannot develop software. And that's a conservative estimate.

Today's computers "Just Work", no one needs to know anything to use one anymore, and it shows. You find today people working as developers who would have a lot of trouble just using a computer from as late as 20 years ago.

Developers are getting dumber, not smarter. As abstractions have been piled upon abstractions actual programming skills have decreased. No one knows how to do anything anymore without an IDE to hold their hand and a web browser to look up everything. We've replaced the hacker with the hack.

Am I exaggerating? Try interviewing a few people for a developer position and see for yourself. The level of incompetence is astonishing. Degrees, experience or national origin seems to have no correlation whatsoever with their skills.

Couldn't it be for both, to a certain degree? Obviously not universally, but there has to be some percentage of both PSOs and callers who are weak and vulnerable and being exploited.

I think this is true of sex work in general, particularly because (at least in the US) sex workers tend to be marginalized.

Nobody at Tumblr was gonna turn to me and be like, “Dude, you’re working too many hours, chill, take time, sleep.” No one ever turned to me and said that, ever.

That's just sad. I wish more people did say this - everyone loses when a colleague burns out.
I just thought of an even better example: liquor licenses.

Those things cost a couple hundred thousand dollars in SF, and existing ones are typicaly valued at tens of thousands.

Should I have a claim if I paid $250k for a liquor license to the state last year, but this year the state of California decided to rescind commercial liquor laws? What if they permitted cities the ability to rescind them; would SF owe me, or would the the state of California own me if SF exercised this ability? What if they were rescinded for all stores more than a 1000 feet from a school? Does it matter whether I was outside the 1000 feet zone and the license became useless, or if I was inside the zone by 10 feet and so it was technically useful but lost almost all commercial value? The resale value of a liquor store business can be a function almost entirely of the value of the license it holds.

Those are thorny questions, but I think in general there's much to be said for giving government carte blanche ability to reduce the scope of or entirely rescind monopoly schemes. I think it would be fair to say that relying on government-imposed monopolies is like making a deal with the devil; don't be surprised if you get screwed.

As long as it's not targeted at individuals (which is probably more an equal protection or due process issue), and isn't a bald faced scheme to expropriate assets, courts would be wise to let the chips fall where they may. I think there's an old common law axiom that the default rule is to leave damages where they fall unless there's a good public policy interest in shifting them. That seems applicable here where it's difficult to justify punishing the government for relaxing a restraint on trade. It's not at all clear to me that the greater public good benefits even collaterally, all things considered.
Regarding 1), more people means more demand for stuff only insofar as those people have money to buy stuff. In any event, you have the causal chain backwards:, increases in productivity allow for the support of a larger population; a larger population does not (by itself) lead to productivity increases. India has over a billion people, yet also much lower productivity than the US, so population alone can't be the whole story.

Regarding 2), I have no doubt that potential immigrants think they can be more productive in the US than elsewhere! But that doesn't imply that their participation in the US labor pool will boost productivity further still.
That's also because a 10 core chip takes a significant hit on single core performance over a 4 core one.

It's also quite likely that spreading out over more cores would be counterproductive. Many problems are not parallizeable indefinitely.

TempleOS: Making a triangle fill from scratch
Follow the tutorial! It's really really good.

Turn on god-mode. It turns off e.g. the arrow keys and the delete key, forcing you to use the movement keys and keybindings for deleting word, character, etc. It'll yell at you in the minibuffer with the command you SHOULD have hit, so you'll know. It builds the muscle memory super quickly.

Keyboard macros are dope. My keys are bound to f3 and f4 but I don't remember if that's standard. Basically you hit f3 to open a macro, do some stuff, and then hit f4 to close it. Then you hit C-x e to execute it from the point, and hit e repeatedly to keep executing it. Super convenient. As an example, you might make a macro where you move the point to the beginning of the line, deletes 2 characters of whitespace, then moves to the next line. But you gotta be careful it's actually gonna do what you want; you'll get better at this over time. You generally have to imagine the point exists at a random point in a line, and find how to get it to where it needs to go, before you're able to do the real work of the macro.

Get Projectile. It's fantastic for navigating projects. It binds its key prefix to C-c p, and binding ANYTHING to C-c whatever is frowned upon heavily, so be aware of that. Doing things like project wide searches (C-c p s s) is super fast, and makes navigating codebases manageable.

I LOVE Helm. It's a huge departure from vanilla emacs, so know that going into it. That said, I love what it does. Basically you have a minibuffer chilling at the bottom of the screen above the normal minibuffer, and it is usually hidden until activated. Then when you activate it (e.g. in the projectile search) it shows the results of the operation in the helm minibuffer. http://tuhdo.github.io/helm-intro.html is a good intro to it.

But really, pay attention to what you like and don't like about everything. Then find things that scratch your itches. I really encourage you to start from vanilla emacs, bringing in packages as you find you need them, so you fall onto your own unique, special editor, built just for you. That said, I sort of understand the appeal of starting with a config that's curated for you already. Though if you decide to make your own configs, use-package is fantastic for managing the complexity of it all. Emacs is a wonderful editor, and you're in for a wonderful experience. You just have to be willing to put up with some annoyance before you make it your own. As a datapoint, it took about a month and a half when I started using it to get it behaving the way I wanted. It's still a thing I tinker with occasionally, especially when I venture into a new language, but I leave it alone most of the time.

Being a doctor gives you an understanding of some general medical principles. However, an individual doctor, no matter how talented, only has specific expertise in her/his domain. Even worse it is very hard to be objective about your own illness, especially if it involves pain, the possibility of significant disability or the possibility of death. Over diagnosis, denial and mismanagement all can result from subjectivity.

Thus an orthopaedic surgeon would be foolish to self-manage his hypertension. He needs a general practitioner or a cardiologist to look after that domain.

A cardiologist would be foolish to look after his diabetes. He needs a general practitioner or an endocrinologist to look after that domain.

A general practitioner would be foolish to self manage anything significant. He would need another general practitioner who could look at his problem objectively or an appropriate sub-specialist.
This is actually a big problem at Amazon. There are certain company sayings which have been baked into the corporate culture and were created by Bezos. It's basically fundamentally impossible to challenge the wisdom or utility of those sayings, they might as well be a religion. That situation of having ironclad, unassailable orthodoxy is always very dangerous, but there's basically no way for Amazon to get out of it unless Bezos changes his mind.
A simple carbon filter - of any type, will take care of these.
