But far more than 1% of the restaurant's visitors would order the gluten free noodles - I'd ballpark 5-15%. And ordering an uncommon variation on a menu item gives the reviewer a chance to test whether the restaurant can deliver on rarely-ordered items.

They are used alot in public ads instead of static pictures, and i think i found one reason they dont do full on video.
Saw a underwear ad in the subway with full blown video, as in the whole model was moving, and that looked like a porn ad, nobody dared to stare at it.Especially compared to the ad next to it with some subtle motions of just the hair.
> Only when you understand their argument...

I couldn't agree more.

As a lifelong believer in science, raised in the Midwest among creationists, I have come into many conversations with intelligent people who somehow place faith in front of evidence. It's demoralizing to realize the frequency that this phenomenon occurs. I've recently scheduled a trip to the Creation Museum to observe the message at its core (half for a laugh, half to better understand my opponents in future debates).

Of course, a visit to the Natural History Museum, NY, is on the same itinerary for balance.

CVE-2016-6662 – Researcher Disclosed a Critical MySQL Zero-Day
All the contemporary CPUs you find on affordable boards have only 3.3V (maybe some even 1.8V, at least on a subset of pounds) I/O. Not directly connect able to chips as used in the Alto.

There are still a few CPLD/FPGA available with 5V capable banks, which would be preferable, so you'd build a JTAG TAP for single ICs. At this point, you could as well connect it to a PC using a JTAG pod .
I think there are plenty of startups working on valuable things, but since you mentioned education...

Typically, the largest group of students in open online courses like MOOCs are those from privileged backgrounds, like white males, and those who already have high or relatively high levels of education. Certainly, I still believe that these online courses are an amazing resource but they haven't been shown to increase access in ways that people hoped. There are dozens of reasons for this.

I think the real problem is that some startups are unable to recognize exactly what problems they are solving and for whom they are solving them. Extra disposable income from driveways is good, as are promoting healthy drinking habits. However, there's a very real chance that these potentially useful tools never reach the audiences where they would be most impactful.

For example, it seems like the people who could most benefit from extra income from rentable driveways are most likely to live in areas that are less desirable (high crime rates), are not even likely to have a driveway (apartments). Now, I have no idea what app this even is referring to, to be clear. This is just a potential situation.

> While this is an important skill to have, I've also learned over time that there are certain types of people where it's easier to let them "be right" and accommodate the consequences

Generally when that happens to me I've come across what I like to call a "fundamental argument." Where neither party is correct and neither party is wrong. A good example of this is "do you believe in religion" because nobody can prove or disprove the existence of a higher being or a religion. But some people will fundamentally be okay with believing in a higher power though. So whatever side of the debate I'm on, when the conversation comes down to a fundamental argument I let both parties be right.
Most people only care about that smile :/
That's why I joined this site actually, to get away from that. So far so very very good.
I always get a kick at how people that use facebook seem to have this idea that EVERYONE uses facebook ALL THE TIME.

I haven't used facebook in probably 10 years and I just have to chuckle at this "facebook is editing our history" and "facebook is imposing American ideals on the whole world" crap. Is it really? Is there another option? Is there any other place to get your world fucking news other than fucking facebook? lol

If you don't like having "American ideals" "imposed" on you, stop fucking using an American social media site to consume world news you tits. OMG an American social media company is acting like its run by a bunch of Americans!?!?! RABBLE RABBLE! IT HAS TO STOP

Oh and get a real fucking history book, jesus.

I used to think that, but amazingly enough some people either learned that by example, and others think you need to "break down" someone's resistance first. I think arrogance is the common factor, to think that would accomplish anything positive in most cases. Then again, there are people who truly want to teach, but they're frustrated or have a generally poor temperament.
I skipped over the first paragraph as was semi-confused to see "Resist Abstractions" as point #1 in a HN article.
My understanding from the article (while I would like to read the paper, I don't have time at the moment) is that it assigns probabilities that a conjecture is correct and improves these estimates over time. As such, something will only really be proven true when the probability hits 1. The summary says that this will occur in the limit, but that might take as long as proving things the traditional way and mathematicians don't like things that are probably true but not proven.

That said, I can think of a number of uses for such an algorithm. If you load it full of conjectures in your field that are known to be true, it will might help you hone what problems are worth exploring by providing guess at how likely it is you can prove a statement you are pondering.

Works in KDE. They love their drag-and-drops, so I'm not surprised at all.

Apple has probably solved this in a more elegant way (in one sense of the word anyways), but the way it works under KDE is that you drag the file into the Name-field and then it inserts the corresponding file://-URI.
I started wondering if there is no solution to this, so I posted a question to AskDifferent. This is the solution that was suggested and it looks extremely promising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4unOC5ZDT98
Detection of false positives: Run candidate solutions through the CPU

Detection of false negatives: Compare solution distribution and frequency to expected models; switch to debug kernels if outside tolerance.

However, this works because the mining problem space is stateless and follows strict mathematically predictable models.

A DB is stateful and the answers generally can't be verified without consulting a secondary copy, which is why I'm super curious how they would engineer correctness and reliability in a cost-effective way using GPUs.

There have been more than a couple of TLDR applications/apps mentioned here before.
My experience is that most consumer routers are actually developed and maintained by teams at companies you've never heard of overseas. This is partly as a response to the engineering challenges you've outlined.

Taiwan is a popular choice, due to the combination of proximity to manufacturing in China and an English friendly business culture.

Every so often the big brands go shopping to build a new product and they select something that meets their needs from the white-label products available.

The product then gets customised for them. What the big brands contribute is industrial design of the case, some qa, packaging, ui styling, a distribution channel and consumer trust in their name.

Which leads to funny scenes like watching engineers at a white label do board relayouts and emi retesting because the industrial designer wanted the antennas to sprout out of a different bit of the case. Because it looks more badass that way...

This also leads to the phenomenon where say, v4.15 of a router was cool, but 4.16 sucks - because internally its a totally different chipset, with a different os (e.g. vxworks vs Linux). Ref e.g. WRT54...

The reason this happens is not because the brand name rewrote anything - they just selected a different white label partner who customised a totally different product to look the same (probably because they promised to deliver cheaper for same SKU). This then gets sold under the old, popular model name.

I know I will be in the minority and say that I hated Macs before OSX. Good riddance.

Most importantly the lack of true multi-tasking as highlighted in the article. Even Windows 95 performed before. Doing software development was a chore. Never liked the Mac UI, even in OSX. The lack of focus-on-hover is still today a major pain for me. Even Windows has focus-on-hover. Hate the single menu bar on top. Yes, even after all these years using Macs, I still do not like it.

However, I just love the hardware and the fact that you can get closer to Linux (important as a dev) than you can on Windows.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head, a big limitation is the feeding the GPUs in the first place.

Furthermore, all that memory bandwidth is calculated against all the cores. So you have to be VERY careful in usage patterns (it doesn't work like a giant CPU). Not to mention how much it costs involved per GB or TB!

I have some experience in this area, and where GPU's & database really shine is building (and especially) re-building indexes.

Running a database on GPUs isn't going to replace all DBs overnight. But, the hardware does have it's uses; just like improved SIMD on CPU's and NVMe storage, plus developments in networking - Basically look where Intel is going since we're coming to the limits of silicon transistors..

Of course luck is important. Elon Musk wouldn't be where he is today without at least some luck. On the other hand, a lot of people have had much more luck and opportunities than Musk and still didn't go nowhere. And the people with the drive and capacity of Musk who didn't get lucky are almost all still quite successful.

The article says the snowshoes were discovered on Gurgler Eisjoch glacier. There's no entry in Wikipedia (en.wikipedia, anyway) for the glacier, but there is a mention of a "Gurgler Eisjoch" mountain pass (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tztal_Alps#Passes). If both Oetzi and the snowshoes were discovered near a pass, then perhaps it's not so surprising after all. Quite a lot of traffic would be funneled through a narrow geographic area, especially when considered over hundreds or thousands of years.

Apple responds to diversity criticism: “We had a Canadian” at iPhone event
I have found it generally very uncomfortable because a vast majority of content on the web doesn't scale well vertically. You keep a wide window, you get way too long paragraphs that are hard to read as your eyes jump between the lines and whatnot. I've seen a couple excellent designs that do new columns as content comes, and there's only vertical scrolling. The columns are like 40-60 chars in width, as they should be. It's nice, accommodates the today's wide screens super well. But a majority of sites, HN included, are way wide for content if I browsed them in a 1920x1080 viewport.

HN specifically, if I have serious reading to do in the comment section, I might narrow my browser down to 600px for even better readibility.
>having outside sources to turn you on to good places is really valuable.

That's a reasonable reason to take advice on places to try, but does that justify the influence food critics have (which is the topic of the article)?

There's a host of review sites with a democratized review process--anyone can write a review, and reviews are accessible to everyone. For that reason and others, to me the answer is no.

>If you find a restaurant critic whose taste you agree with

You can also find reviewers whose tastes you agree with. Or friends, family, etc. There are even prolific reviewers, who may have reviewed more restaurants than you have time or desire to try.

Edit to say this: Perhaps there's some space in the market for food critics, but by and large I don't believe they should have the influence that is the discussion of this article. That is not to mention the host of other problems food critics bring to business.

Sorry, most people are indeed not idiots, but that doesn't apply to creationists.

It's one thing to go to a church (there even might be purely social reasons), and it's another thing to discard overwhelming scientific evidence and believe something based on the principle of not needing any evidence at all. I become especially sad when I think of the confused minds of the poor children of these people.

On the topic, I've found The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins a very enlightening read if one wishes to understand the arguments of religious people.
Living inside the terminal, multiplexing is useful even when not using Vim and I think Tmux is a better multiplexer than Vim. I would need to use Tmux anyway for it's sessions.

I already use Tmux inside a tiling window manager and generally try to avoid manually managing panes inside Vim, mostly only tabs. There is a finite amount of hierarchical panes and tabs you can work with intuitively, before you wonder why they won't accept each others keyboard shortcuts, especially when you use the same color scheme in Vim, Tmux and Awesome.

> If I tmux then vim, I have to find some way to get the text out of tmux, and then back into vim.

That's actually a valid concern. I use piping for that, but it's not ideal at all. Maybe I will try it out.
I hate this pattern. If something is fucked up, tell me, so I can fix it. Don't waste my time buttering me up first and patting me on the back afterwards, just get to the point.

It's one thing I do kind of miss about working shitty, dangerous construction and logging jobs summers in college. There's no time for pussyfooting around when a miscommunication means somebody gets crushed or mangled by heavy equipment.

An exceedingly stupid act of paranoia; I knew the input _could not_ go above the normal ascii character set without errors elsewhere in the pipeline, it seemed therefore more robust to chose one that could by other invariants never be hit. That being said your group separators, had I thought harder about it might still have been a more valid answer. (but then I wouldn't be able to talk about it as quite so much of a dirty hack!) I imagine they aren't used much because frankly I hadn't even thought about their distinct function more than two to three times in my entire post-programming life.
What you describe about Finder is sadly similar with Windows Explorer. The tipping point was Explorer/Shell32 that came with Windows 2000. It remembered what you personalised for every folder, it had HTML support, it could be customised including the toolbar and the sidebar(s). If you entered a URL it transformed to Internet Explorer. It worked like that from Windows 95 (with ShellUpdate that came for free with IE4, and already integrated known as Win98) and lasted until Windows ME and 2000. WinXP wasn't bad, but several UI decision were bad. And the trend continued with Vista that had a stupid bare bone Explorer that forgot too many settings all the time (lack of love, and the halted complete rewrite in C# that had to be scrapped, and the missing WinFS were probably the reason). Win7 is like Vista but misses the advanced search menu, making the local search even more useless, and WinFS was declared dead. The UI of Win8/10 sucks, though some former undocumented hidden features of Explorer/shell were integrated to the Ribbon-bar.

The good thing about pre-Win10 you can replace Explorer.exe with your own favorite shell (file manager plus desktop in one exe).

The cool thing about Win32 UI is that it has very good optimisation for low latency, as it had to run on very low spec 1980s PCs. You can interact with the UI even before the UI is rendered on screen. So you can open a menu and navigate around and do some action, all with the keyboard as fast as you want even if the UI is slower on your system. MS got it completely backwards with WinRuntime aka UniversalApp. Opening the start menu in Win10 takes 500ms or so and the lag is very annoying, and opening most apps shows even a opening animation to hide that it takes way to long to get a useable app - open the calc.exe in Win7 and compare it to opening the calc app in Win10 - what a vast difference, what a complete failure and a huge step backward.

The best would be if a new MS manager would scrap the Win10 UI development incl UniversalAppFail (starting such an app takes more than 500ms wtf and shows a loading picture), and take the Win10 kernel and start development again taking the Windows 7 Shell/UI and for the Explorer take the Win 2000 or WinXP Explorer as base and start from there.
> There was a hover delay built into WinXP

No, this was longer and inconsistent. The more I used the menu, the faster it got, until finally the built-in delay was the only delay.

> I think you are being far too nostalgic about the experience using old computers.

No, I'm just saying that there were some nice things about old Macs that took Windows decades to match. And I'm agreeing with the article that there are some subtleties that are still hard to beat, despite many other things that are of course many times worse. The article wasn't about how an old Mac is better in every way and we should all dump our modern computers and go back. It was pondering the irony: "Hey, isn't it ironic that this computer can't open Facebook, but it has a spatially oriented file browser the remembers the spots for all your icons in every folder." To this day, Windows cannot keep the Recycle Bin in the bottom-right corner across screen resizes. It is obviously recording the coordinate from the screen's top left. That always bugged me too (I know, it's the small things).

Reminded me of a solution by one calculus student to an optimization problem:

"(...constraints...) How should the fence be built to minimize the cost of the fence?"

Student answer: Don't build it. Cost=0.

CAPI is "open" solution to do the same thing, though NVLink supposedly still offers more bandwidth. Unfortunately CAPI is only available on POWER8 hardware at the moment and I'm not sure if IBM is open to license it beyond OpenPOWER - still, there's a decent number of CAPI-capable cards already available and more coming to the market in the future.

GPU's may not be great for every unit of work a RDBMS has to perform, but given their ability to rapidly compute hashes it could help a lot with joins (as evidenced by PGStrom).

Although I agree it can be <i>perceived</i> as disingenuous, I think it's perfectly valid to clarify areas of common thought before trying to adjust someone else's way of thinking. Furthermore it doesn't just make them feel better, but in my experience it makes me as the speaker feel good to openly acknowledge the respect I have for the person I'm dialoguing with, instead of just thinking of them as pure adversary.
