Paisa from Medellin, Colombia here (currently living in Bogotá though).

Antioquia/Eje Cafetero will definitely be the region with the largest 'No' voting population. I would even think that the region with the next largest 'No' voters would be Bogotá DC. All of this is exactly because of what you say.

But let me tell you something: Even in Medellín, there's a correlation between being a young and studied person with voting 'Yes'.

The best analogy for me is the Brexit. Where old and uneducated people ruined the UK for the future generations.
I left Mint (17.X, the MATE spin) with whatever default rc the Mint guys chose. Upstart, I guess. My efforts go into customising my home system to my liking and these days my tastes are simple: Sawfish+dmenu or CDE, when I feel nostalgic.

I'm now writing on a Debian… er… something… system. That version which tried to force systemd down my throat. I switched back to sysv-rc right after the update. What bugs are you referring to?

Hopefully the possibility to switch rc will remain in future (I hear Gnome these days depends on systemd, WTF), otherwise I'll have to look for something else once again. Arch, probably. Or Slack + pkgsrc. Or I'll go back to NetBSD.

Subaru's higher end AWD system has separate output shafts from the engine for the front and the rear, with electronically-controlled clutches modifying the torque. Default is 60/40 front biased, but it can send 100% of the torque to either end of the car. Excellent performance with no manual mode switching needed, also manages good fuel economy at the same time. Best system in the business.
It's a spiritual successor by the same "good old boys" club of Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, etc though.

These high prices are definitely not in tech’s interest.

The way I see it, tech is the only way I can live here independently. Lucky that my brothers and I have the inclination for it. But even we have difficulty finding housing in this market. We look around, and it is the entrenched interests, the old money, that are holding us back, preventing new housing from being built. Despite appearances, techies are actually a small minority, especially in the voting population, and that’s how we still get pushed around.

The market problem is that housing and transit have been growing very slowly, nowhere near what is needed, and not matching the growth in jobs and office space. The problem goes back decades, really taking off when Howard Jarvis passed Proposition 13, followed by Mayor, now Senator, Feinstein passing the rent control ordinance. The problems continue, as every significant housing development requires endless studies and community input before it gets built; in the meanwhile the market has risen again.

When I was growing up, San Francisco was actually very anti-tech. Startups were always fleeing to the Valley when they became successful. Still, housing prices were high and rising; housing was ridiculously difficult to build. I remember the case of somebody buying an empty lot, just a normal-house-size rectangle in a normal-size block. It took many years of studies and litigation and multiple architectural plans before it could get built, and I don’t know if the owner ever succeeded. It’s hard to find the article again when the Google results are packed full of plenty of other, bigger, projects that are facing unfair difficulties.

Likewise, there’s now a lovely new library building at North Beach, but Aaron Peskin (one of the politicians implicated in the Reason piece) used eminent domain to prevent that land from being turned into affordable housing, with the excuse that it should be a park. It lay fallow until he was term-limited out of the way and later supervisors at least built a library there. And then the old North Beach library is still sitting there, retroactively declared to be a historic landmark, so that is a suboptimal use of space.

Tech only sped up an existing, broken process. If even the Huffington Post is posting about the multi-decade housing problem, then maybe, just maybe, it’s not the techies’ fault.

> a lockup torque converter or a fully engaged clutch is more efficient than the combination of an electric generator and a motor.

I doubt it, generators and motors operate at 99% efficiency. Do you have any reference?

> if you have four independent electric motors, you can only ever send 25% of available torque to one wheel, if you have front, rear, and center lockers, you can send 100% of torque to one wheel.

That assumes that engines are so small that they operate at 100% under normal conditions. This doesn't have to be the case, electric engines are so small, you can have bigger-sized engines where one single engine can use all the power. The nature of electric engine is such that the loss of efficiency by doing this is minimal. Plus you need to do this only fractions of the time, so the engine doesn't have to be designed to operate in high power mode at full duty cycle.
I don't disagree; Google says "take it easy" means "proceed calmly and in a relaxed manner" which I think fits what I described (and you'll probably get more work done this way, too if you already have a good idea of what you need to do.)

Ask HN: Are there any Indian female programmers on HN?
I have been looking for freelance developers for a few of my web and mobile app projects.
Since I'm in located in Mumbai, India. I am looking for someone around here.

But through out my search, I haven't come across a single female programmer around mumbai.. I never thought that female coders would be that rare.

So, if you're a female programmer in Mumbai, India do leave your work email.
The "P2P" thing makes sense. This is solar in an area where the utility buys power at wholesale prices and sells it at retail prices. (Contrast this with some US areas where utilities are required to buy residential solar power at their retail price.) As an alternative to selling power to the utility, it can be sold to nearby non-solar neighbors. The losses are lower and the resale value is higher.

Accounting for this is complicated and somewhat arbitrary. One way this could work is by having metering at both the pole transformer and at the house. Metering at the pole transformer would be at the utility's rates (both buy and sell), while metering between the houses would be at the inter-house rate. Everybody would have to settle up once a month or so. That would just require a monthly meter reading.

But usually, there's no metering at the pole transformer level. That info has to be inferred from minute-by-minute info from the house-level meters.
This requires a lot of logging and periodic settlement. If each meter signs its own minute by minute data and sends it in, that prevents after-the-fact fraud. This doesn't require a blockchain, just data signing.

Does everybody get to look at everybody's data, or what? Arguably, you should be able to see your neighbors' data, since you're trading with them.

Not a materials scientist but argon-oxygen is a common first step in plasma cleaning surfaces (critical especially for allowing whatever you want to CVD to adhere properly to certain metals) before applying primer. (It's also used in nitride hardening aluminium.)

Considering how large GE is, I wouldn't be surprised if they had it 'on tap' in a PLT automation network and they take bulk delivery from a supplier every month or two. and some bad process engineer forgot to add a sensor check in loop (or his manager just told him to "screw it, argons cheap, no need to add a flow meter to this process" as a cost cutting factor).
Excelent arguments santiagogo.

We're already becoming LatAm's most important tech hub. Rappi (YC W16) became the first Andreessen Horowitz investment in LatAm. Authy (YC S12) was acquired by Twilio (first time a big Silicon Valley company acquires a colombian one). .CO was acquired by Neustar. There are other startups doing really well such as Platzi (YC W15) and Torre (formerly Bunny Inc).
Well, that's nice.

You make a convincing argument. We need to strictly regulate gay sex on public roads, and in all other places where it might endanger innocent bystanders. While we're at it, let's tax gay prostitutes who use our tax-funded public bathrooms for commercial purposes.
They probably don't want you taking a road you shouldn't, getting hurt, and then suing them because they didn't warn you about the dangers. Or they get tired of having all their cars smashed up. Insurance covers it, but it's still annoying.
Exactly! And living in California, I can't tell you what a pain in the ass it is to try to send a friend in another state a bottle of wine. Whenever you visit a vineyard or even a wine specialty shop, they have a list of states they can't send anything to, and states they can stuff to with restrictions. It's kind of a mess!
Wow, early cars connected the engine to only one wheel, to completely avoid issues of differential.

(According to the cool old video linked in the article.)
Agree on yuckity :) But 'simple' is a big thing. 'Familiar', too.
Or they'll wait them out. As we've seen in Britain, older voters who aren't feeling the pain in the same way will remain a dominant force for a good 20-30 years yet.

That said, many are voting with their feet - those reviled eastern states are havens for mobile youth, particularly those versed in technology.

I also don't think 30 years is the timescale. It's more like ten, given the already accelerating pace of growth in previously impoverished states. Do look at gdp per cap graphs for, say, Latvia. It's impressive. The financial crash hurt, but they're already back on a healthy sigmoid upramp.

He actually stopped me after climbing up back to the viewing platform. The car was some US-made SUV with high clearance (don't remember if it was Ford or GM), just there was a sign AWD in the back (I specifically asked for a 4x4 rental vehicle). The road was fine, I think the issue might have been a few streams you had to cross at the bottom of the valley, but SUV had no problem with them. Ranger wanted to fine me but after arguing about 4WD, AWD, 4x4 he dropped it, still a bit angry.

Also 4WD cars generally have a super low gear for crawling at low speeds & high torque whereas AWD cars usually don't have a similar gear. Low gear is critical on steep grades, particularly descending them so you can go down safely and slowly without riding your brakes and overheating them.
Mechanical transmissions are still more efficient, at least for cars, than spinning a generator that then powers an electric motor.

Even hybrids usually have a way to get the engine power directly to the wheel. In the Prius's system, it uses a planetary gear with a pair of electric motor/generators which allow it to split power between the mechanical and electrical paths. In the Volt, there are clutches which allow the car to transition between parallel and serial hybrid modes.
Never, ever use Excel for anything other than prototyping, spot-checking data, or as a makeshift GUI while you develop a proper one.

I've seen several financial shops where people were moving millions of dollars around using Excel. IMHO, it's always an indicator of deficient processes and lack of coding skill. Yes, I do know that some clever people use it. They are productive in spite of excel, not because of it.

Your main problem with excel is not that some statistical function is missing, or wrong, or misleading. Sure, that's an issue, but you can live with a few things being wrong if you can detect them and fix them yourself. I'll come back to stats later...

The problem with Excel is it's damn near undebuggable. There's simply nothing in the way of someone making a beast of a calculation, with the flow going all over several sheets. You can even make things circular if you want. The data and the code are all together, mixed up. Was a number in a given cell written there by the VB code, or was it an input? You can use the auditing functions, but chances are you will see a spaghetti of arrows.

It's also non trivial to find differences between different versions. Typically the dude who is using excel has also never heard of Git or SVN, so you will see a load of sheets like "portfolio1" and "portfolio2_new_old" and so on. I don't know if it's changed, but when I was using Excel, the files had code files within them, rather than separate files, like we do with most other languages.

Of course you aren't forced to write crappy spreadsheets, but there's simply a tendency for people who don't code to be a bit messy. But Excel is positively inviting trouble. It's so flexible that anyone under a little pressure will hack in some extra bell or whistle, building up tech debt for future generations. It basically lulls the novice into thinking they can build anything.

Amazingly I've met several people in finance who pride themselves on spreadsheets that stretch over thousands of lines. I remember a billion dollar merger where the analyst in charge of the "modelling" showed me how they reached the line limit (I think that's gone now, so good luck!). It's as if making things complicated justified their salaries, so maybe that's why excel is so popular.

Now, about statistics. If you're doing anything non-trivial, you absolutely do not have space to look at all the individual numbers in your matrices. Just like if you're solving equations on a piece of paper, you need your own symbolism. You need to be able to give things names and see short statements at the appropriate level of abstraction. You probably need to be able to verify the pieces independently, too. So unit tests for various operations, that aren't intruding into the business logic.
Put up a speed bump.
You can bet they paid zillions to McKinsey or someone, to absolutely minimize their costs for doing it.
I did not make that point. The point I made is we have a society who expects the federal government to solve problems that society can solve on their own if they really wanted to. I agree some problems can only be solved by the government, for which some amount of tax is needed, but not more than that.

Hey thanks for the offer. I wrote an open source Elixir application called Magnetissimo. It goes all over the internet, finds torrents and indexes them in a simple to use UI with one-click download links.

Elixir was paramount for this project's simplicity. I leveraged GenServer and the BEAM VM to effortlessly created different crawl queues that utilize all the cpu's cores to maximize throughput. It's really really fast.

The idea is that anyone can clone the project, run it, and get upwards of 400+ torrents indexed per second immediately. Your own personal kickasstorrents. Or host one for your friends and family.

Would love to add a logo to the project.

The point is to get the innovator payed in a way that justifies their investment AND help everyone that can be helped. I'm not bemoaning or blaming; the point is to design a better system. Right now paying the innovator requires limiting availability for no good reason.
It was some US-made SUV (Ford or GM, can't recall which one) with fairly high clearance - I specifically booked it so that I can go everywhere (Waipio, Mauna Kea etc.). The road to valley was fine, it was also dry and the only possible issue could have been crossing a few streams at the bottom of the valley, but SUV had no problem there as well (clearance was sufficient). I experienced far worse roads on Tenerife while blindly following a route computed by then NOKIA maps that took me to super steep straight-up roads where my car ended up spinning all wheels unable to move up ;-)

Rust has cargo test and cargo benchmark. Its basically a unit testing framework and benchmarking framework that is provided "batteries included" with the language distribution.

Its dirt simple to add testing to your project, just create a directory called tests in top level of your project and place rust source files inside them. It then looks for functions inside those files that are annotated as being tests. Similar setup for benchmarks.

Rust also includes generating documentation from comments inside the source code just like doxygen. And it supports embedded examples, which will be checked if those example programs compile at all. It really helps with prevent documentation from going out of date.

All of this is provided from the start when you install rust.
I still get full benefits even though I'm only working 4/5ths the hours, so it makes sense they'd take that out somewhere else. I don't get a lot of stock, so I think it works out numerically that the stock I don't get is probably about equal to a fifth of the cost of my health insurance. I think that's fair.

Do you have a reference?

Since both electric generators and motors well exceed 99% efficiency at this power level, I don't see how can this be the case.

I have not done that yet, but that was basically my original motivation.

However, if you don't have locking differentials you can still get into the situation where one wheel slips and the wheel that grips doesn't get any power - as shown by the Subaru getting stuck on the hill in this video: https://youtu.be/hrdb_UVTa20?t=543
