This literally happened when I was visiting Japan and your belief is invalid. My girlfriend fell down the stairs in the Tokyo train station during the rush hour commute and many strangers were concerned for her well being (to the point we had to decline several times being taken to a hospital).

No more weird and arbitrary than the motion of the pendulum itself. I think you're underestimating the human intelligence component of the system. Include in the dataset an additional variable for rope length, record the data for multiple lengths - there, you've just isolated a variable in the equation and it is no longer arbitrary. The scientific method still works, but now you're working on a much more tightly bounded problem.

Oh my god, a png of a twitter featuring a png. What is this world we have created.

Anyways.. it's pretty damn interesting. When I read it, I seriously read the last sentence as "great green dragon" without thinking, then went back and saw that I actually read the words in the wrong order.

Oddly enough, a green great dragon makes me think there would be some distinct species of dragon called the "great dragon", that are sometimes green, whereas "great green dragon" makes me think of just a very large, green, run-of-the-mill dragon.

However, all of this seems to me entirely related to training, getting very very used to things being expressed in a certain way. I have no idea how it could relate to some "innate" idea of grammar, especially since, as others have pointed out, this rule and many others only hold for English. Any bilingual individual can tell straight away that these things are all about memory -- nothing "innate" about a bunch of arbitrary rules.

>As an aside, what a strange creature is man that he wants to replace a device which is analogue by nature - ears not being digital after all - with a digital counterpart which is clearly sub-optimal, overly complex and fraught with potential restrictions

Well, if you're hearing it it's ultimately become analog. The question is where does it become analog. I can legitimately understand that many people would like that it happens at your ear and you don't have wires.
I'd think that the OS is irreparably "blind" to devices connected to the 3.5mm jack, unable to identify them, and unable to discriminate among them, unable to send audio output to some of them, and not to others. A proprietary audio standard might include a way to identify devices (since manufacturers would likely have to use some kind of ID in the devices they make with Apple's blessing).
So use the dongle?
I am curious, how do these libraries work for other languages, for instance Java interface to curl, how do they work around that fact?

They typically ship a private precompiled library and link to without using the system LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or whatever).

Anaconda gets this mostly right - they ship precompiled libraries, but I'm not sure what the do with the linking situation.

This can be put forward as a PEP, I am not undermining the issue.

That isn't the most useful response for a beginner programmer.

I had my early English education in China, we were taught some weird English grammar that I have never seen in the USA. I now think those are fake grammar rules.

>Which is a valid point you probably should have disclosed before saying that there are no 4k and 1080p games, because much more people don't really care about 60 fps.

Because it's true, and most people and most games to care about frame rates, even Sony admitted that most games won't run at true 4K but will use upscaling.

"For all you pixel-counters out there, note that the games Sony showed yesterday don't seem to be rendered in "native" 4K. While the Pro system is capable of outputting full-resolution 4K images and games, it's not really powerful enough to do so while rendering the kinds of realistic 3D worlds with the level of detail we've come to expect from big-budget games."

"While some retro-styled 2D or low-polygon 3D games might be able to produce a full 3840 x 2160 frame buffer at least 30 times a second, most games will run internally at a lower resolution. Sony says that the Pro will make use of an internal rendering pipeline and techniques that help fill in those missing pixels on the display. Insomniac CTO Al Hastings said the difference between "native" 4K and the PS4 Pro's output should be "nearly indistinguishable.""

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/09/eyes-on-dont-expect-a-...

The hardware of the PS4pro is less suitable to true 4K gaming than the PS4 is for 1080p, you are going to see major upscaling but it's ok, we're gotten pretty good at it.
For the most part I expect most games to render at 1920x2160 or 1440x1620 and be upscaled.

When the cardinality increases a query that used to take a millisecond to load could move to a couple seconds.

Linode customer here. Going to take a tangent.

Way back when, Toyota instituted a policy that required every line worker to effectively stop the factory if a defect was found. Engineers would come to the floor. They were tasked with creating a permanent solution for the problem, one that would have that never happen again.

For the first few months Toyota had a very hard time getting cars out the door. As time went by things got better. Eventually they got to the point where nearly every car coming off the line was perfect.

Around the same time companies like Mercedes Benz were devoting no less than 25% of their factory floor towards fixing manufacturing defects. During this same time period Toyota was devoting less than 5% of their factory floorplan to fixes. This, ironically, meant that the Japanese company was probably delivering a higher quality and more reliable product than the high end car manufacturer.

Source: Read a book on the subject many years ago: "The Machine that changed the world" https://goo.gl/VQw6HS

Back to Linode. The fact that they've seen so many attacks gives them the opportunity to become far better when compared to someone who never sees attacks. Whether they go there or not is entirely in their hands. If this is what's happening they need to take the time to communicate it to the world.

There are at least two possible attitudes: The first is to live in fear of attacks and hope they never happens. The second is to embrace them as an opportunity to get better.

The latter is a formula for disaster, or mediocrity at best. The latter is supported by millions of years of history on this planet showing that things get better because something or someone had to find a solution to a problem.

You can't become a good sailor without facing a few storms.

I'm sticking with Linode.

Ciao majewsky you can find the lincense in every file! It is Apache 2.0
Great points, and reminds me of how Apple treated those who invested heavily in Final Cut Pro 'server farms' (so to speak) for professional production, only to see FCPX and nearly pick up torches and pitchforks. Actively slicing away utility and, well, consideration for professionals at the expense of greater revenues from consumers seems to be ingrained in the Apple business model. I don't like it but I can see it with these kinds of decisions.

As much as I disagree with Apple's decision, I agree with your point.
"It's good to stay informed" is a platitude I grew up on. I turn to online news several times a day to kill spare moments.

But what does this do to my mood? Apart from the story itself, what other information am I getting?

This project is a humble attempt to find out.
I am paranoid I know, however the first thing I thought is that, as headphone can be used in a reverse way as microphones, that Apple made a secret deal with the NSA (or else...) so they will be able in a Bluetooth range to connect (as Bluetooth is far away from being secure) and listen to people. Those plugs all around are just free and easy tool for spies.
Of course they could also listen to non encrypted conversations during phone calls between people using encrypted channels/tools.
Am I the only one thinking about that?
This hypothesis can be easily and cheaply tested: buy some nice normal mushrooms and fry them in olive oil. Does the oil taste of mushrooms afterwards?

Completely agree. The funding scene in Portland and Oregon as a whole is joke.

Pre-publish review copies of a novel
Came here to say this. I've combed through his pieces many times over just to glean the way he structures his code. Here, he got my head spinning for a minute with

return set(w for w in words if w in WORDS)

and made a mental note to use that idiom in the future.

As for doc strings, well, this is just a toy piece of code after all. The main purpose for the code is to be read, instead of actually used. something something hobgoblin of little minds

Edit: formatting.
Not really, they can't tell what headphones are plugged in they might be able to determine some very coarse profile but even that is highly questionable.

With audio being pushed through lighting port in a digital format Apple knows for sure what device is connected to it, and even if you spoof the device id they can still use DRM because the device decodes the digital signal and if it doesn't have the correct set of keys or decoding configuration it would not be able to play the audio.

I may have erred in giving the impression that the application-level checks are the only line of defense here. They're not. The (bespoke) MTA underlying this product performs most if not all of these checks as well. I didn't really spend any time on that side of the business, so I might be wrong about that, but it would be something of a surprise. I do know our analytics needed to be able to cope usefully with an astonishing panoply of bogosity warnings that came back from the MTA, but I no longer recall exactly what they covered. And, in any case, it's nice when you can to tell the user "hey, this isn't deliverable" before it gets to the point of a bounce.

Checking whether an email address's domain-part is an RFC1918 IP is actually pretty easy. Split the address by '@'. The last piece is the domain part. Split it by '.'. If there are four pieces, all of which meaningfully cast to integers, treat it as an IP address. (Otherwise it's a domain name, which is fine as long as it has more than one part and isn't NXDOMAIN when the backend tries to resolve it.) If any part is negative or greater than 255, it's invalid. If it starts with [10] or [192, 168], or if it starts with [172] and the second part is between 16 and 31 inclusive, it's an RFC1918 address. Otherwise, it's fine.

Even with unit tests, that takes almost no time to write, and when your frontend and backend share a language as ours did, you can use the same logic both places. Node gives you a name resolver binding for free. I really can't imagine it being as quick to write, test, validate, and roll out a change to the MTA node manifest.

Show HN: Real-time streaming data pipeline in python
No, I don't think it'll be prevented, but I wasn't using an exterior DAC in my scenario. I've got one or two of those (e.g. Line6 something a rather) but what I mean is using the iPhone's internal processing. Use hardware to trigger (via Lightning port) and listen with headphones (via headphone port). That scenario, which is one I use frequently, doesn't work in the new platform shown.

All the other DAC-type stuff should still work provided the iOS / Apple platform will support them (don't see why not). I've just been reluctant to purchase iDevice specific audio cards, so to speak, preferring the USB standard because I use a PC primarily.
The WEDU ASPEN FIFTY by Lance Armstrong
Greetings-

Thank you for signing up to hear more about WEDU. As this vision takes shape, we need you, our tribe, to help create and craft this vision.

In our minds, one component of WEDU is events. Hard, epic endurance events. The types of events where most people ask “who wants to do that?” This is for those of us who respond: "WEDU!"

This gets me to our first event—The WEDU ASPEN FIFTY. The FIFTY is a 50 mile mountain bike race in Aspen, CO. The race is approximately 70% single track and the rest is either dirt or paved roads. This event is guaranteed to be a suffer fest. 7,300 vertical feet total climbing at a base elevation of 8,000 feet. This event is limited to 75 participants, it is a free event, and benefits the Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association. We will start at 8am on September 18th (after everybody sings me Happy Birthday-just kidding). After the event I will host a post race party with food and beverages. I realize it is late notice, but hopefully some of you can make it. I look forward to solidarity and suffering with all of you.

For more information, and to sign up for the ASPEN FIFTY, email: Higs@wedusport.com

The speed of these operations isn't on the same order of magnitude as floating-point operations. I do agree that literals for `Fraction` and `Decimal` would be interesting.

Also, I think that '2.2' is better represented as `Decimal`, as it's a decimal number (which is a subset of rational numbers, that are usually better represented using `Decimal`) (edit: that of course depends on the use case, as Decimal uses fixed-point precision).
Very cool idea, and something that would have been useful on many projects in the past. A little light on # of listed sights, but certainly something I could see myself using for future projects.

Although your points are completely valid for your demographic I think Apple's focus is on mass audience. Additionally, they have not yet announced the ipads and macbooks are divorcing with 3.5. So its possible you still have hope, just not on your iphone.

Either way I feel your pain and hate this decision.

Except they clearly explained that they had interference problems with the new camera and the analogue jack, which they don't have by using a digital port. Conveniently, lightning was already there.

I agree the situation is not optimal, but please, stop this "they so greedy", "this is only for selling adapters" etc. After all, it's apple's product, and if it doesn't appeal to you, don't buy it.
As you have stated yourself, the rest of the industry might not even follow them here.
This is not a judgment on you, but I've seen this echoed in a couple places in this thread and yours is a top-level comment that starts with it.

I really grokked the concept illustrated with R1C1 notation within a day or two of being exposed to $-pinning with A1 notation, and the concept of a relative offset was my mental model in Excel for a long time before I even learned about R1C1.

Yes, R1C1 notation is helpful because you literally type in an offset if you want it, but it seems pretty apparent in playing with Excel that the automatic reference rewriting is based on the relative offset of one cell compared to another. Seeing it rewrite a range as you drag a formula around seems to illustrate this concept very clearly.

On the other hand, I came from a non-technical background and came up as an analyst in a sales department. The person I learned Excel from didn't know about pivot tables, so I didn't learn about pivot tables for some time. What I did learn was how to make my own (much less flexible) pivot tables by hand very quickly. I got to the point that I put off learning pivot tables better once I was introduced to them, because they were an inefficiency for me. I eventually learned better.

Yep. EarPods, for most intents and purposes, are good enough for most people listening to most things. They're not like the old unnamed apple earbuds which were barely even dollar store earbud quality.

Those who use different headphones are largely already using Bluetooth or care enough about sound quality that they bypass their iPhone's DAC and/or amp and use a portable DAC/amp instead.

The remaining affected crowd is relatively small.
Yeah, use the dongle unless you need to charge it at the same time.
