Technically subatomic refers to the size of an atom with electrons, not a nucleus (which is much smaller). It's especially appropriate here because neutrons aren't electrically charged, so their interactions with other particles are very short range.
When the incentive to finish a goal shifts from the innate satisfaction of completion to a fear of financial penalty, is it possible that the goal itself will unintentionally change in subtle ways?

Also it's not like our math is the only math. It's completely possible that they have a functionally identical but radically different system from math, without concepts like numbers or ratios or what have you.
If you now exactly what you want to do, go for it, launch your startup. Startups are not about technicalities so much as about putting up an MVP asap, with as low budget as possible and test it against the potential market.

If you don't have a very clear idea, then work someplace else. Experience will enhance your success odds when you decide to pursue your own startup.

So by that definition, facebook, linode, shared webhosts, GCE, etc.. are serverless. AirBnB is homeless. Uber is automobileless.

Ok, maybe I'm not being contrarian, maybe I just like semantically useful and intuitive technical terms instead of blatantly wrong and misleading ones? Maybe the problem is that I care about my field of expertise and don't want it to be further watered down by the perpetual sloppiness of "who cares, it's just a name"?

IANAL but I'm fairly certain that given Apple's resources, if they wanted to stop this practice, they'd have obliterated VMWare Unlocker from the map. It's been around for years, they certainly know about it, and they haven't done anything about it. So if not expressly legal, they certainly don't seem to have a problem with it.
Jerry Falwell is not a public official, he was a famous (many would say infamous) Southern Baptist pastor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Falwell

And I don't believe Hustler Magazine v. Falwell was in regards to whether Hustler could mock him on religious grounds. From the Wikipedia entry:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hustler_Magazine_v._Falwell

> Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell, 485 U.S. 46 (1988), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that the First and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit public figures from recovering damages for the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), if the emotional distress was caused by a caricature, parody, or satire of the public figure that a reasonable person would not have interpreted as factual.
That is a pretty classic joke around NZ.

This is pretty much the reason I haven't switched to linux; it's not that OSX/macOS is particularly incredible, but that 1Password, Alfred and some other apps don't work on linux.
I love how carefully this article reports on statements made in other publications without making any statements itself. Some lawyer made a good amount of money reading drafts of this thing, to make sure they can't be sued!
Questions about the model are addressed with handwaving such as "use numbers and your head" or "this is obvious and everyone else is wrong"; no existing literature or prior work is cited; rather, thought experiments that completely evade the points raised by others are built out of thin air.

The core point is that qualia emerges out of perception, and therefore that any system that can perceive in a broad sense, even if that perception is merely simulation of perception, will effectively experience consciousness. But there isn't any reference to proven scientific models for any of the parts at play here; posts treat the core premises as ultimate truths and then spin around that.

Regarding your mention of your posting history and complaining of ad hominem, this is completely disingenuous given the way you have responded to other posters. If you wish a better response to your future posts, I suggest making your posts shorter, supporting your core points with references to existing work, and not use at all the "everyone but me is wrong" style of discourse.
Good luck. I hope you climb out to a pleasant place.

> Don't just create a fork, branch, and submit a PR without context. First, make sure the intent of your change is actually desired.

I think all that matters is that the change is something you want. If no one else has any need for it, you can continue using it as long as you wish to maintain your fork.

It's great to collaborate and share ideas before you start working, but if it's something you need, you'll do it even if everyone else says it's pointless.

I covered exactly this. I write code for windows/Linux/Mac OS X. Write a class to contain those ifdef. I did this before C++11 as well.

This isn't a new technique, but for some reason people adopting C++11 and C++14 seem more willing to do it than people who wish C++ was really just C with classes.

Also, write unit tests to test the class. Run the Tests in CI on every platform and a variety of configs. It is not hard and there great free or cheap tools Like Jenkins, TravisCI and Appveyor.

From the post:

"The Google Cloud Messaging service basically handles message handling from/to the user’s devices to the Signal servers. The GCM service then handles all the aspects of queueing all messages and delivery from/to users."

This is not true. Messages are delivered via Signal's own servers only. GCM messages are empty; their only purpose is to wake up your device. [1]

"The phone component of Signal is called RedPhone. The server component of this is unfortunately not open source [...] this is also probably the reason why secure encrypted phone calls don’t work in e.g. LibreSignal"

No. The reason for that is that the signaling for RedPhone calls is currently still done via GCM and not via Signal's own message transport.

Regarding microg: I've never heard of the need to re-compile kernels for that. I think most people use it with Xposed (admittedly, a giant hack, but it works).

Ask HN: Overwhelmed with learning front-end, how do I proceed?
Hey,
I am currently learning front-end (knew jQuery but after many recommendations and doing backend for a long time decided to "modernize") with Vue.js components, etc... but feeling very overwhelmed with the big change, and after trying tutorials I don't know how to begin coding a real app, even after learning the concepts. Everything I try feels messy and strange, leading me to a lot of frustration. It seems very over-engineered.

I also wanted to start trying react but the sheer amount of boilerplate templates to start a project is insane and come with so many things I probably won't use. The file trees seem massive in comparison to simpler projects made in jQuery, which don't help the stress much...

Overall, I am very overwhelmed with what I am seeing in the front-end world, how do I proceed? I don't know how to continue this. Any tips? Experiences?
There is, however, value in submitting a PR without diving into the often stalemating "discussion" happening in a lot of projects. As much as I wish it weren't the case, I have found over the years that if your code follows conventions, works, and is useful, asking for forgiveness is much, much easier than asking for permission.
If you learn to think about the company's perspective on things, you can start finding ways to 'sell' ideas. Unless you can make it sound like good business, it's hard to 'sell' something to a business.

You're going to need a lot more evidence to support the extraordinary claim that Apple "solved" any of these in a final way. Especially considering every MacBook Pro review I read picks out specific, non-iterative features of competing products that the author wishes Apple considered.

I have all Macs, and I'd be pretty pissed at the universe if the best laptops feasible in this reality were just my current hardware when you take the limit as versions of USB and Thunderbolt tend towards infinity.
Yes, you should definitely automate the creation of an API. The point of this post is more on how to set up the tooling for handling types in JavaScript with TypeScript.
Fascinating, I've done exactly this!

I based mine on a collection of ESP8266 modules talking to again, a Flask app. They'd watch for both DHCP broadcast packets and also the visibility of the device on it's own radio. It also would regularly try to ping known devices to track "sessions".

What plans do you have, what tech are you using, and where can I follow along?
UML diagrams are practical, but there's a cost to creating them and maintaining them. You can argue that many tools have been created to address this problem, but the problem remains... especially maintaining them.

Now, sequence diagrams remain one of the best ways of explaining distributed workflows (e.g: OAuth) that I know of. If you work with an OOP language, a class diagram might be useful to express some ideas. Other UML diagrams are less used.

> 'Electric cars' are a perfectly apt name to refer to cars that are not gas/cylinder engines, just as 'steel roofing' is perfectly apt to differentiate from the standard tar based products at least in consumer roofing (in cold climes).

Electric cars are called so for semantically useful and intuitive reasons: They are electric instead of gasoline. Steel roofing is called so for semantically useful and intuitive reasons: its a roof made from steel instead of tar. That seems incoherent as a defense to using them term "serverless" to refer to something that is literally a several buildings full of servers.

I've never heard that substitution ciphers are simple to break using only letter frequencies. It does get you to a point where it makes the guessing a lot easier.
I never claimed Okinawans were vegan, but they eat less animals, specially fish, than the rest of Japan. That was a counter argument to your correlation between eating fish and longevity.

Again, for the only long term study on a vegan population, look at the US adventists studies, who live longer than any other population in the US.
I don't understand why people are so uneasy about being bored, is it the fear of missing out or is it addiction of always having a jolt of dopamine for each new "like" they receive?
Is the bitstream for the decoder a lot more complex?

From what I recall (and it has been a few years), usually the standard mostly specifies what the 'end product' will look like and the encoders basically have to figure out a way to get there. The decoding was usually pretty expensive and had a lot of quality options and was constantly trying to detect things like global motion compensation etc, while the decoder basically just decoded the same old bitstream without a lot of change in complexity for the same profile level.

I suspect the 2013 Mac Pro was sort of an experiment by Apple to test out the market for high end desktops. The radical redesign reflects where they think desktops are heading or at least where they see the market for Apple desktops heading. I think each design choice makes sense if you look at it from that perspective.

- Limited internal expansion / high speed external bus : In a future world where every computer has USB-C and/or ThunderBolt ports external expansion is going to be the obvious choice for most people. Very few individuals/companies use desktops exclusively so interoperability between laptops & desktops is another factor here. This is also true of internal storage. Fast internal storage + NAS/SAN are clearly the right direction to go here.

- Less CPU / more GPU : You can scale many highly parallel / CPU intensive tasks in the cloud or on a rack of your own servers better than you can buying the latest and greatest Mac Pro every few years. GPU processing is harder to scale outside of the box sitting on your desk. This doesn't meet everyone's needs today but we're talking about the future here. In 5-10 years are people going to be replacing their desktops often for more processing power? Some but probably not enough to make a high end desktop Mac a sustainable product for Apple.

- High base price : This is the real test. Anyone can say they want a high end Mac desktop but how many people are actually going to buy a $3k+ desktop? How often will they replace it? The price probably reflects the minimum amount of profitability Apple wants to continue making Mac Pros. Now it has sat on the shelf for 3 years. Are people still buying it? Like it or not that's a factor Apple has to consider. Can they sell old stock or do they have to update this thing every 6 months for it to be a viable product?

So if this was indeed an experiment we can only speculate about the results. Either the Mac Pro (in it's current form) is not a viable product for Apple or they're going back to the drawing board based on their experience with the 2013 model.
The case for the connection is indeed circumstantial. Waiting 4 years, until 2016, could be explained by the fact that Gawker vs. Hogan was in the news and so maybe Ayyadurai thought that whoever was lawyering that case would be good for him too. I wonder if he'll get around to forcing Gawker to put up a meta tag that will force the erasure of the original Gawker stories from the Internet Archive [0], which are used to footnote his extensive Wikipedia page (which Wikipedia editors initially thought should be deleted for being an obvious vanity page, but then kept it to serve as a counterpoint against his claims [1]

What about huge rent costs?

Would love to be able to start a startup in Melb, Australia, because it's the most livable city in the world, but the tech scene here in comparison to SV is like living in the Stone Age. Not sure if I'd be better off moving to SV - but interestingly, I met a top CTO/CEO who had moved his company to the Valley and advised against it, because apparently it's very cliquey and it's hard to break into really well established circles, especially as an Aussie, for some reason. I'll definitely get him another coffee at some point in the future to dig into this more.
The Geek Keep: Synthesize Speech in Any Voice
The tutorials look good, but I already have a base knowledge of JS and frontend- just looking to begin making SPAs and using React or Vue, which I can't seem to get a grip on. There's so many loose components in them it's overwhelming :(
The media paints the far right as some evil geniuses which is just stupid. People hold opinions that elites disagree with, in fact they find them deplorable and the sane politicians refuse to even discuss them. And here are some politicians who are happy to do what people want rather than try and do what's best for them. It's not really that complicated. You probably don't even need a team of advisors to figure that one out.

There's an equally easy way to stop them: adopt their populist ideas - Conservatives did that to stop UKIP in the UK and see how that worked out for them? OK, the prime minister resigned and the country is now going to leave the EU but the Conservatives retained majority government. I didn't say it's a good way to stop them.
1. Don't try to learn 5 technologies at once. Pick one.

2. As a first pass, don't overfocus on the details, focus on the conceptual model: what are the key abstractions, how do they work and how do they interact?

3. Read a book, not just tutorials. Harder for newer frameworks, but got to be something. A decent book will give you a much deeper view than a tutorial, helping you with item 2 on the list.

4. Start looking for common themes that connect to existing knowledge.
None of this is really new stuff; front end frameworks inherit ideas from GUI frameworks, and from backend web frameworks.
I've written a bit about doing this for programming languages (https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/03/10/compare-contrast/), but same concept applies elsewhere: everything is variations on a theme, basic functional requirements forcing particular forms.
Well, on Saturn thered be no oxygen to combust, so hot hydrogen could work, maybe (I'm suspicious that it would be able to lift the heat source much less the equipment). Hard part would be fuel to heat it.
I know what it is like to have lost a favorite book and look for it in vain for days before the love wears off. If I had that feeling every day, just the feeling alone would cause my mind to break down. Ever remember having a great idea, but not remember what the idea was?
Hmm. You seem to be right. Article corrected there to reflect that Signal is using empty GCM messages. I must have still had the old situation of TextSecure in my head when I wrote that. Nice to know re the reason Redphone doesn't work, thanks for that insight!
Regarding high DPI, I beg to differ. A lot of Windows applications look like shit on high DPI.
They're not even using it as a queue, they're queueing and delivering the messages themselves. GCM messages are empty and are only used to wake up your device.
are you already working on it? or just an idea?
Got some pointers for you. First, I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React and related topics, at [0]. As part of that list, I have a page called "Basic Overviews" [1], which has articles that try to help clarify what these various tools are, how they fit together, and what you would use them for. There's also a couple articles in that section that give advice for how to tackle learning front-end stuff, and not be overwhelmed.

As for React specifically, there's an official tool from the React team called Create-React-App [2]. It hides the details and complexity of project config from you until you're ready to tackle them yourself, and lets you focus on just writing the app. Meanwhile, the React docs were just revamped and improved [3]. There's also a great community called Reactiflux on Discord, which is a set of chat channels dedicated to talking about React, Javascript, and React-related tools [4]. It's a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn.

Finally, part of what's going on here is that people are trying to write highly complex and powerful applications in the browser, not just "pages" with some interactivity. Complex applications mean some meaningful amount of complexity in the project setup. These tools are basically the web equivalent of a C++ compiler toolchain and standard library. So, there's several aspects here: the tools are somewhat big, the libraries are sophisticated to enable you to manage your application's complexity, and your own app code is going to be more than just a couple click handlers.

The other thing to remember is that you don't have to use everything all at once right away. Focus on learning one or two tools and concepts at a time.

Hopefully this helps!

if you meant to summarize my ultimate truth via "The core point is that qualia emerges out of perception, and therefore that any system that can perceive in a broad sense, even if that perception is merely simulation of perception, will effectively experience consciousness" then you didn't understand. The ultimate truth or core point is that qualia emerges as an emergent property of what the parts are doing, and if you simulate those parts with enough fidelity consciousness still emerges. Certainly lots of things could perceive without being conscious - a roomba vacuum cleaner for one thing.

So this argument about simulating parts -- it's like a fine mechanical watch that tells time: if you simulate it with enough precision the simulation can "tell time" only rather than telling time, the emergent property of the clockwork is "be conscious". you may not get my analogy and that's fine.

I'm not here to convince anyone. it's not worth discussing in my opinion. I've given a very explicit model under which I'm wrong. if you disagree with me that's fine.
