You can use Decimal built-in also:

In [1]: from decimal import Decimal as D
In [2]: D('9999999999999999.0') - D('9999999999999998.0')
Out[2]: Decimal('1.0')

From docs: Decimal “is based on a floating-point model which was designed with people in mind, and necessarily has a paramount guiding principle – computers must provide an arithmetic that works in the same way as the arithmetic that people learn at school.”

It would be, frankly, ridiculous for them to offer "open access" and have that actually include only news coverage and none of the opinion sections.

I recall reading a journal paper about 10 years ago where they finally got accurate balloon instrumentation to the level of the stratosphere where the ozone-depleting reaction supposedly occurred . . . the actual degradation rate was way off than what theory predicted, like an order of magnitude. It's highly unlikely that CFC's were the direct cause of the fluctuations of the ozone layer during the period we began to measure it more carefully. I'm looking for the paper in question but it was a long time ago, forgive me.
Just install to a different folder. Everything still works.
So did I. There's nothing wrong with a news org expressing its opinions -- on the editorial page. But a news organization earns respect by offering solid, objective reporting.

To paraphrase George Orwell, journalism is writing the stories that powerful interests don't want written! The Times did the exact opposite and had a political campaign proofread stories before publication.

If it weren't such a major failure of a key institution of our democratic system it would be funny.

The purpose of the press is to be adversarial, not to help meet the PR objectives of those it views as friends.
Oh you mean unlike the login-wall they've put up for every article in the past two weeks? That open access?

Edit: I'm pretty mad that every NYT link I've been clicking for what has felt like two weeks has asked me to login. I was forced to finally make an account. Screw that. I'd pay if you gave me an option that made sense. I'm not going to drop $500+/year to subscribe to all the places I read from when I only read what is posted on HN and Twitter. You'd think Apple would at least help out here since they have it all nicely integrated on the Apple News app to handle subscriptions for them.
"You're confusing their Opinion section with their news coverage. Completely separate groups with no overlap."

You can't be serious. How people have not noticed that the NYT has blatantly turned into one big opinion section over the last 12 months is beyond me. Heck I was even going to write a quick side by side headline parser listing all articles pertaining to the three major candidates in 2016 alone to emphasize their ludicrous bias, but now I realize even that couldn't defeat the confirmation bias of their dwindling readership. In any event, I'll make sure to enjoy the free propaganda over the next few days indeed.

Very interesting idea on the teaching bit. It seems a great way to promote yourself.
I tried to find a link that would point to a definitive answer for you on this one, but I couldn't (well, short of the one in my media server). The best I could do was refer to the settings in my own player and my own experience. If the video requires transcoding, either due to network conditions or player capabilities, it can transcode up to 1080p at 20Mbps. If the video can be played directly by the player, it can support up to 4K in an MP4 file container encoded h.265 (all other 4K video is currently transcoded down to 1080p). Of course, this assumes that the server you're running it on can handle transcoding the file. It's pretty common for folks to setup Plex servers on an RPi or NAS device that's ARM based and those are rarely capable of re-encoding the video. I run on a dedicated Core i5 small form-factor box with 8GB of memory and I've successfully transcoded 4 streams for play-back without issues.

The transcoder is pretty intelligent. It starts up full-power until it reaches a comfortable buffer and then dials back to an acceptable framerate to maintain stable playback while not melting the CPU. It only transcodes what it must in order to get the video to play on a device. My Roku, for instance, can handle H.264 encoded video and AAC/AC3 audio, but it won't play them back if they're stored in a Matroska (MKV) container, so the transcoder leaves the video/audio streams alone and just converts the container format to MP4 for playback. On my TVs that aren't hooked up to 7.1 systems, it transcodes only the audio. I have a small handful of files that are HEVC encoded and have nothing that supports that, so the entire video/audio file is transcoded in those cases, but to my wife and family who enjoy Plex, they don't have to think about it. I can tell when it's transcoding vs. playing directly because it'll stick at 33% for a second instead of just playing the video instantly, but they're used to Netflix/Hulu/Amazon which all have mild buffering before playback so they have no idea that something's going on in the background to deliver their video.

It's a good solution as far as I'm concerned. At the end of the day, all of my videos play and they're a pretty good variety of .avi (with a mix of video/audio codecs), MKV/MP4 (almost all H.264/5) and a few one-offs (I haven't tried playing a few .asf files I have lying around but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they worked -- it uses FFMPEG to do the transcoding so depending on how they compiled it, if FFMPEG handles it, I'd imagine Plex would, too).
It's not enough to think lots there has to be self-awareness too. This is because if you haven't yet formed a connection between two related ideas then the peripheral idea can only signal its relevance through a subtle feeling. Most people, especially smart people, either don't know or don't value what they are feeling. So they can't create.

The level of Democratic party and media cooperation is staggering. Media has effectively become a part of the liberal part of the government. The reason Wikileaks scandal got so little attention is because they all, CNN, NYT, etc, are in bed with each other. It's effectively a government-media complex.

BTW TotalBiscuit has absolutely slammed the Battlefield 1 (there's gotta be a prize for worst video game titles) campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkDysHo83lw.

In short: Generic modern military shooter #123781 that completely misses the point of idiosyncrasies of the one thing that somewhat sets it apart from the rest of the bunch: The fact it is set in WW1. Look at Medal of Honor (well, it's WW2 and therefore somewhat of a Nazi popper, but what do you expect) for a decent WW shooter campaign; I actually don't recall any significant WW1 shooter at the moment...

And as someone who is decently competent in competitive shooters (~2000 hours of Counter-Strike Source): Yeah, competition can be fierce even on "normal servers", but if you can keep up you'll get rewarded for it with a mixture of familiarity and challenging gameplay. And playing in "rough environments" has battle-hardened me I suppose. Dieing 10 times to superior opponents in a row barely moves me at all anymore, so if you don't get discouraged too quickly you may well find your frustration will wane with time.
I don't see programmers being a special profession. Time affects us all, and it's a complex thing that's worth spending time contemplating, and I really don't think the math is hard, if there is even much math.

Completely agreed!

In the past, I had always avoided C because I didn't understand why many aspects of why it is the way that it is (eg pointers etc). Then I took my university's CPU architecture courses. That sorted that fear right out since I had to go from the ground up, learning everything I'd previously largely avoided or ignored - everything from transistors and the basic logic gates (AND, OR, XOR, NOT, etc) they consist of to full adders, all the way up to pipelined CPUs. Naturally, we learned assembly as part of this.

C made an awful lot more sense after all of this! I still don't like using it, but that's a lot more to do with my understanding of it's dangers (I prefer to let the compiler do the hard work of verifying my programs make sense, a la Rust &c), rather than a fear born of ignorance.
Adding to your point: I sense they've taken a tacky and somewhat nannyish "guardian of democracy" approach in their headline selection lately. I like to be told the news, but it felt as if I was being told how I should be voting; it seemed manipulative and insulting to my intelligence and experience.

I feel a sense of distrust between the news editors and their readers; that Citizen Kane feeling.

That said, I thought David Brooks' latest piece was well-put.

Let's see here...Cleanly is $1.5/lb for regular laundry.[1] A random GE top-load washer+dryer pair at Lowes is $900[2], which works out to be 600lbs of laundry to a first approximation.

As it happens, I have a laundry basket and a scale handy, so I'll call one load 10lbs and I do, oh, 3 loads a week. That makes the washer/dryer 20 weeks.

Our current washer and dryer are 8 years old. I'd say that amortizes pretty well.

I was a computer consultant on the Canadian government research into the ozone hole studies in the mid 80's. It was a real thing, the data was obvious, and mankind came together to do something about it.

What's different about global warming is that it's more difficult to directly link human activity to the root of the problem, and heat is more elusive than a chemical signature you can easily spectrograph.

I really liked it! Then again, I played the games it was (obviously) inspired by, and I liked those games too. I understand if people don't like it - it's pretty personal, in the way that it's targeted directly towards the niche the creators love. Those things tend to be rather splitting, so it's unsurprising, in retrospect.

It's kind of like bad shark movies - there is a group of people who love them, and everyone else is fine not being in that group. It's not that either group is better or worse, it's just a niche.
Lol...wow.

Ok, so where to start. First off, I guess we can go back to my original point that you completely ignored. Once again, you are assuming all of your claims above apply to every person who does shout the 2016 democratic party talking points. That belief is ignorant.

You claiming all people who hold conservative views or vote for a republican are racist, homophobic, bigoted, science deniers is no different than people in 08 who claimed Obama was some secret Muslim agent whose only purpose is to bring Sharia law to the US and destroy our way of life.

> if you think Clinton's DNC is "a violent leftist sect"

Did I say that? No, I sure didn't. First you make an ignorant claim about at least 50% of the US (and for some reason lump me into that group while knowing nothing about me), and then you put words in my mouth. What's next?

> you are so divorced from reality that you are probably beyond all hope

Oh that's what's next. Character assassination and bullying.

> Maybe stop getting your news from just Scott Adams and Fox News.

Maybe stop acting like you know me based off of hacker news posts. Oh wait, you are so intolerant that you believe those who do not hold the exact same opinions as you must all get their news from Scott Adams and Fox News. You know nothing about me yet you assume I am so divorced from reality that I must only get my news from two sources? That's quite intolerant.

> BTW, funny that you mention "character assassination"... right after seriously trying to paint the DNC as some kind of Satanist cabal

Did I ever do that? No, I did not. Did you...actually read my posts? I implied that are too many coincidences to upper level governmental politicians (you once again put words in my mouth by stating I claimed DNC only) being somehow related to spirit cooking in some unspecific terms other than mere art.

It seems to me you are only interested in making wild assumptions about who I am as a person, judging me based on the actions of others, being intolerant of my views, and verbally bullying me as a way to somehow excerpt your dominance over me. You clearly aren't concerned about having a rational discussion with someone who might not share your exact world view. Since that is the case, I won't be replying to any more of your comments. Hope you have a great night!
> someone researching climate change are the two things that I've considered. I have no background in either

Don't worry. In case of so-called 'climate science' the most important is whether your results are 'in line with', your background and the way you obtained these results are secondary.
It's not a tactic. It's, in fact how a LOT of companies do it. As the guy in charge of doling out my pool of raise money it has absolutely been a zero sum game everywhere I've done it.

If our across the board raise rate is 3% and I give you 5%, I had to give someone else 1%. In practice, I would like take 0.25-1% from more people to spread the pain out some.

If there was someone performing at a level that made me feel it was okay not to give them a raise, I might grab it all from them. But doing this pretty much means they will leave in 3-6mos or I will wind up letting them go sooner. They were likely already on a PIP or we've had serious performance discussions throughout the year.

It's not a tactic, it's simply the way it is. not giving a raise to someone is a signal that puts the wheels in motion for them to be gone. Your relationship with them will be tested, likely broken. If I want to keep everyone on my team, barring extraordinary circumstances, I need to generally even them out. Evened out seems to settle between 2.75 and 3.25%.

What most people don't say is that a good company will have set aside a pool of money for retention. It could be a salary correction because someone got in cheap and we recognize that we need to adjust them up more than a simple raise- most of the time it's the emergency money I can go to the CEO and beg for in order to match that offer you got if I really want to keep you and think you'll be happy to stay.

I disagree with the notion that because life is hard video games should be easy. I think lots of people vent frustrations through video games, and get a sense of accomplishment when they do hard things. It's one hard thing in life you can get really good at. And it doesn't mean the game has to attack you. The game Fez comes to mind. Nothing in the game can harm you, but there are tough puzzles.

>I just went through my month of commutés, corelated with pictures taken. 'interesting'

That's because you used Google Maps to track your location history (which, at least when I first discovered the feature, had to be manually enabled), then took pictures which you uploaded to Google Photos. As a HN user, I'm sure you know that images often have location metadata. Google simply connected the two bits of information you provided to them by using their services.

Honestly, of all things that google does, this is probably the least creepy.
I have all of my history turned off, including YouTube search history, but it's still showing me my YouTube search history there.
I didn't know google was tracking individual apps that I use! And every voice search is stored too.
never met you - this is not bashing you - but I will tell you what not to do.

* do not call or email me weekly for years on end telling me how great your programming is. i don't care - i have too much on my plate already.

* do not join slack channels and pm each person individually telling them you want to start work on their php project.

these two things have turned me off of almost all developers who are not in my immediate area, but especially ones outside my country. please do not harass me. I've had more than a dozen folks - probably nice and well meaning - join our local developer groups and then email everyone in the group individually asking for work. I've had several more that would ping me every time I opened skype with "hello mr mike - we are ready to take on your next php project". Holy tamole... just stop.

What works? I've done a couple of small projects testing out non-us folks. These were either word-of-mouth referrals, or I'd found someone y their blog when searching for something niche. Keep a good clean blog, have a portfolio, build a network of folks who may read your blog or see your portfolio who may recommend your services. It's pretty straightfoward. Do not pester/harass me or my friends. It's the fastest way for me to block you.

Having no knowledge of Brazilian politics, I wonder which is the chicken and which is the egg? Does TecToy initially come about because of the tariffs, which it then has an incentive to perpetuate, or is TecToy politically connected from the start?

Seems like a difficult problem to get out of, once you start down the path of protectionism. The tariffs likely slow growth overall, but remove them and you risk killing a homegrown industry if it can't compete.

I tend to agree with you on this, personally. I can't speak to the code quality or whether or not VLC is a mess (I've never really looked) but I think the point here is the ability to play back (almost) any video/audio/subtitle format around which is met by both VLC and FFMPEG quite well. Being able to do that in a browser, without plug-ins, in a performant manner is important from an archival perspective (broadest audience support for the broadest array of file kinds/types).

Unfortunately, the ultimate goal -- taking the control of "what codecs are supported for streaming" away from the browser vendors probably won't be met. The biggest issue there is supporting reliable playback across a variety of processors with performance/battery constraints. For desktop users it might be a doable thing, but unlikely for mobile. Granted, we're doing things on our mobile devices that would have been positively unimaginable 7 years ago, so who knows?

At the end of the day, though, it's codec support that is the big win from my perspective -- lavc/lavf or FFMPEG -- not necessarily getting all of VLC ported.
