Sports regulation deals a lot with what's the 'heart' of the sport. ie what's the skill that's supposed to be on display, in this case curling is mainly about the throwers skills and the new materials made that much less important. Another goal of regulations is also making a leveler playing field where competitions don't come down to who could afford the most advanced tools.
> Except it's not a language implementation detail, it's part of what the language is.

Okay, but what was the rationale for designing the language like that?
i guess that if curling becomes too easy, the team who has the last stone would always win, unless they are amateurs. Kinda like if it was possible to check mate in the first move in chess, so that whoever started first would win.

side note, i think sport is too professional. And that it might actually be more fun for amateurs if they could curl better.
The missing link in MirageOS is a BEAM-style distributed computing framework. If this were available, I'd be using Ocaml/Mirage almost exclusively. Imagine the beauty of supervisable, millisecond demand-scalable, ultra-lean, Ocaml-safe microkernels all messaging each other atomically and cross-node, without the dev having to build it from scratch.
I'm super excited about the idea of having a VR headset and no monitors for work, but I do worry about long term immersion issues. My first long session in a Vive left me in a weird state where I felt like an observer to my body for a few hours. That's just one of many possible mental issues. The physical issues worry me as well. What will wearing a headset do to our vision? I already have a lot of neck issues, will wearing a headset all day cause even more?

What efforts? Big part of emission reducing by west is simply moving production to devleoping countries.
IMO a decent solution to the low-birth-rate problem is not to try to hook up all the singles together, but rather encourage existing couples to have more children.

Make it socially acceptable and even desirable to have more children. Give incentives to working men who have more children.

But 'time is money' is even truer for busy famous people like these than for typical hourly wage earners. If demand were infinite, they could probably do something like 5x as many in town speaking gigs as out of town ones, and still have more downtime. And when not speaking/traveling I'm sure they have any number of things they'd rather be doing.

Perhaps I phrased this suboptimally by asking about a "discount". Maybe a better question would be, is there a surcharge for the travel time required for out of town gigs?
That directed me to the exact distro I'm using. Nice. :D
> I'd have to test this, but I'm pretty certain screen readers will not know how to properly navigate your content if you aren't providing structured data markup.

Do screen readers operate directly on HTML now?

Because presumably they look at the DOM. And the resulting DOM is identical, whether or not you close your <p> and <li> tags explicitly, or include your own <head>, <html> and <body> tags, or whatever.

Try it.
The fun part about the "cultural integration" aspect of immigration is that people want it both ways. In the sense, they want a certain aspect of immigrants and don't want others. Basically, they don't want multiculturalism but rather clones that resemble their society. Sure, immigrants have to take 8/10 steps for cultural integration but the host country would also need to take the remaining 2 steps. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
It would work out pretty well if they had a monopoly but they won't have. Their only real barrier to entry is to be able to subsidise the hell out of their service with investor money.
The non-normative HTML 5 spec declares those words, ostensibly because <p> elements cannot contain other block-level elements, and so the user agent should infer a </p> tag when a block level open tag is seen within a <p> element.

I've always been of the school of thought that it's a bad practice to depend on non-obvious behaviors that, when taken in the context of so many other rules that are explicitly defined, seem like a bug that's been codified into a de-facto rule.

Granted, <p> elements are special snowflakes in the specification (not seen as precisely a block element — because it's more limited in allowed content, a phrasing element, an inline element, etc.), but most online docs refer to it as a block level element, and in block level elements, you don't omit the closing tag.

Say what you will about XHTML (such things, I'll add, I'd likely join you in saying) but at least it had one thing going for it: a well-formed document was easy to test for. Note, I didn't say valid, I said well-formed. For that reason, I still write HTML as well-formed XML for easy linting, and then a tidy step later to turn it into plain-vanilla HTML (though, generally speaking, that last step isn't necessary).
This is an interesting point as the largest video streaming service is a YC company. (admittingly, this type of content would not be suitable for Twitch, even under their Creative umbrella).
Because it's still unexpected behavior, and suddenly losing aircraft systems mid-flight is a concerning event for a pilot. Especially ones related to flight control.

That doesn't mean the plane can't fly. But it does mean that the pilot is going to have to fly it differently to avoid dutch roll, possibly flying at a lower altitude.

Keep in mind that this is aviation, which is very risk averse (by necessity). Even minor issues are treated as significant.
ZMQ's default behavior (and in some cases only behavior) of dropping new messages when buffers are full, made it a no-go for my client. We ended up switching away from ZMQ to a more traditional durable queue and ended up saving a ton of code complexity and got a lot of reliability in the process. Having now researched it I can't think of a reason I'd ever use ZMQ again. I'll either use a durable queue when I care about message delivery, or something much more traditional when I don't.
My response to the trolley problem always thrown off my philosophy friends/professors. I always asked why this was a question at all?

To me, all ethics and morals are broken down to how we live with ourselves and perceive ourselves. Because Everyone made a choice to be in the given position and assuming no one I care about is on the trolley I have no reason to effect the system. Sure, saving five people's lives may help some people sleep at night, but killing another also won't help. For me, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I killed someone.

Not taking action ensures I have done nothing. Meaning, it would be as if I'm not there, thus everyone is going to die by their own choices not mine. I am not inflicting my will on others, therefore I am not killing anyone, and I cannot make a wrong decision.

As you pointed out, you can't know what your actions will do.

For some reason this always makes everyone call me immoral though...

Not really but pretty sure that's the default serialization of html5lib.
I've been omitting needless tags since HTML5 became a thing and I'm totally over any residual "weird feelings" from the XHTML days.

What about Firefox, Linux, jQuery? Am I their product?

A lot of Facebook's infrastructure is about advertising and tracking. Also, if you could run some kind of P2P social network you distribute a lot of the costs.

So I disagree that the choice is between a large corporate-owned social network or no social network at all. A non-profit network is feasible, if tremendously difficult.

Norway – An Inside Perspective (1986)
I'm not expert on Japanese culture. This comment comes from my experience 20 years ago I spent about six weeks in Japan, four of them working in an office in Kyoto and doing the daily commute on the train (the real reason I was there).

One thing that jumped out at me was what appeared to be a widespread fetish where the ideal woman looked like a cupie doll type school girl, almost like a living anime character.

There were also a lot of free "manga" around (anime magazines) and not only where these schoolgirl characters everywhere, raping them was a common theme.

I loved my short stay in Japan, and I had a lot of positive experiences there, but that aspect of the culture was downright creepy.

Ask HN: Moving from academia to tech?
Short version: What advice would you give to someone interested in leaving non-applied academic science and getting into tech?

I wanted to give a very general prompt so that any answers I'm lucky enough to receive might be useful to others, but maybe I should mention that I'll soon have a PhD and live in a major US city. Let me bring up some more specifics in the form of concerns that I don't think are overly personal.

* I read HN every day and have a rough idea of what's going on but haven't had time to program seriously in years. I believe I'm still capable of throwing together a useful web application in a matter of days but I imagine this is true of today's unpaid interns. I've no relevant portfolio or formal experience.

* In the evenings I'm enjoying reading about algorithms again. Given my training I think I could make meaningful contributions here. But again, no real experience and I'm used to thinking about theory for days at a time -- if I even reached an interview I think I'd be a disaster.

In person I would have more to say but this is already very long. You are right to be skeptical of the basic idea. I hope it's at least an interesting question and that I didn't miss anything while searching.
Ah OK, thanks for the clarification. That dichotomy makes perfect sense.

I haven't really looked at Forth, is your comment about its "LISP-like simplicity" why is such a perennial favorite amongst language aficionados?

Any recommended readings on the subject(Forth) ?
I'm torn. At face value, fair point. However, each of those has had a rocky road to success. At best.

Oddly, the one that has had the most success is objective c and swift. And that is successful because it is the only game in that town. Despite people trying to make other technologies work.

Compared with how many places failed by picking the new hotness. This definitely includes Java. It took a while before server side became a hit.

It seems a bit odd to me to ask whether the user has ever used a Linux system before, then ask which package manager they'd prefer (without an "I don't care" option).

I chose pacman, as I'm already using Arch, yet the best match for me was Debian with 87%.

Man, I hope they don't do that. I love my Mac!
If you're using packages on Linux, the package manager is responsible for uninstalling the old version. For example, yum/dnf on Fedora/Redhat will only keep one version of a package during 'yum update' (with the exception of the kernel, where the most recent 3 versions as well as the running kernel are kept to avoid breaking boot).
I find that the event is best for those who need a jolt of inspiration to get their motors running. Which isn't a bad thing! We can get out practical advice elsewhere.

Fwiw I made a couple great connections at the pre-bbq in 2015 (not sure if they do this anymore). That was really the highlight for me. It was much more difficult to have a conversation during the event itself. Maybe we need a "hallway track" for startup school too. ;)

While we're at it, how about we lose the unnecessary uppercase for the doctype: <!DOCTYPE html> vs. <!doctype html>

Leaving out optional tags makes sense. These days, at least with web-apps, It's not like we are writing a <head> for every page. It's just a partial you rarely ever interact with anyway. Either leave them in or take them out. The only negative I could see is that some people may not know what's optional–think you're a dummy–and put them back in. Probably best to just follow the conventions of whatever framework you use. Save your fighting energy for trailing commas in JSON! :)
You're right that the name AT&T has undergone big changes in what it refers to, esp. with the breakup of the Bell System in 1983/1984. But the old AT&T set the culture for all of the present day phone companies in dealings with the government.

Designing an Authentication System: A Dialogue in Four Scenes (1998)
I love this subject. For those who read it, the stage 4.5 that many gifted people (and rarely others) end up going through is also called existential depression [1]. It involves coming to terms with the first principals of the universe and their lack of implicit meaning. If you choose not to believe in free will, you end up as a nihilist.

If you choose however to embrace the lack of meaning our society and exert free will, you usually end up working to improve the silent meta-systems that dictate the quality of life of people and the interactions they have with each other in life. And that becomes the source of meaning - creating or editing these meta-systems on purpose in a way that serves society.

Interesting perspective. Defeat was the consequence of having started the war in the first place. Nobody in America was sitting around in 1941 thinking up ways to vaporize Japanese people. As they say on the Internet: play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Yes. Vetting a good property management company is difficult. I've fired more than a few.

But, now I have good managers in place.

Typically, you can expect 10% of rents for management fee--well worth paying.

You should factor this in when considering a property.

For major expenses, I have some reserves and I figure a 10-20% buffer again off of the rent of the property.

This covers the average expenses over time.

I don't think it's obviously more counterintuitive than the strict XHTML insistence on exact explicit hierarchy.

Like, when you start a new paragraph it doesn't become a new "subparagraph", it just ends the current one and starts a new one. I really don't think it's hard.

I do think omitting needless stuff creates more compact documents with less redundant boilerplate that distracts the eyes.

This article really shattered some of my illusions about Norway being a progressive utopia.

The accounts of human rights abuses, imprisonment without trial, judicially condoned murders perpetrated by police, and their coverups and falsification of evidence were truly terrifying.

The section on Norway's ill-informed and close minded drug war seemed to mirror the United States, and was the very opposite of progressive.

On the other hand, the country's political and social egalitarianism (for those compliant enough or fortunate enough to escape being victims of the police) certainly seemed to be quite admirable in comparison to what I know about most other countries.

It would be interesting to find out how things have changed since the article was written.

I dispute labeling this program as a "donation". It's an official program run by a quasi-governmental institution that is supported by taxpayer dollars. Disabled people pay taxes in California, and yet cannot avail themselves of this content that's ostensibly provided for the public benefit.

The problem is that most metrics are quite arbitrary when applied to art. If the objective standard gives equally nonsense numbers for all parties does it provide any added value over cronyism? The latter is obviously unfair, but the former is not necessarily fair but rather arbitrary. Financially art is anyway driven by fads and fashions - it's not science nor is it objectively measurable from any other point except market value.
It depends on whether you want to run the script before or after the body!
The whole problem is that you don't know where the "rules" came from in the first place, which means the thought-experiment doesn't reveal much about how to generate fresh responses to novel situations.
Those are some good points. Sometimes, though, you come across some new tricks (perhaps not that new, but anyway) that you really wish your coworkers would get on board with.

E.g. - Our current big project at work uses a lot of Javascript. My coworkers are primarily die-hard Java developers (I know Java, but I don't "live" there...). As Douglas Crockford said in a presentation "[those people] will go to their graves, never knowing how miserable they were".

Rather than writing a bunch of classes with one meaningful method ("Executioner", anyone?), I would rather use FP / higher order functions techniques (e.g. - partial function application, such as in Ramda.js). Also, the idea of anything approaching metaprogramming is very scary to them, rather than pasting in many copies of the same stuff with minor variations. Perhaps it's ("custom") abstraction in general that is scary, since so little is documented in most industry standard practice code.

At what point do you ask your coworkers to realize that the eighties are over, and [static] OOP is not the one true hammer of sole best practice any more???
