Interestingly, the spirit of the FindBugs project lives on in the development of languages like Rust and Swift, considering the purpose of the FindBugs project is to fix inherent flaws in Java, e.g. not having a way to determine whether something will be null, or not telling you whether you checked whether something will be null at runtime, etc.
Good thing every election in the USA has a full and public counting of all ballots cast.
Gotcha. I agree that there will not be much consistency across apps, and I think that's the beauty of it. And yeah, what's available on the Touch Bar can potentially be very context dependent.
On days like this I dream of a world in which every citizen has a key pair assigned by the government for the purpose of interacting with the government.

It could work like this: you get the private/public key pair provided in your passport, or on a special social-security-type card. The public key is also on a website registered to your name, so anyone can look up your public key. However, in order to be allowed to sign anything, you have to be in the presence of a government agent who can verify your identity via a second means (e.g., at the DMV, your driver's license + social), and then the government agent signs it as well. So there's no _less_ verification of your identity in the system as before, but anyone can quickly verify the authenticity of your documents.
Hmmmm, if you need ton's of workarounds and there's a huge learning curve to learn the weird quirks(bugs), I don't think the tech is necessarily stable...

For me, damage not going on the stack was a big change. That's probably better for the game, but eliminates a lot of tricks.

Also, the cards printed these days tend to not allow you to hose yourself. Take things like detention sphere, that say "exile a non land permanent you don't control." It used to be that those types of cards would exile any non land permanent, do a skilled opponent could, in certain situations, exile something you controlled by bouncing their only non land permanent in response.
If a government subsidises the wrong thing, the right thing will no longer make financial sense. If the government bans the right thing, it no longer matters whether it makes financial sense.

However, I am slightly optimistic about these things as many city and state governments as well as private corporations are taking steps to do the right thing, even as parts of the government and society take the opposite side.

Sometimes the story doesn't come out until after doing the visualization, so the exploration could be the point.

The structure of the code does show here. The skyscrapers may not be using the "make each function do one thing well". Someone who knows the code would need to see if the visualization accurately reveals anything.
Léon Theremin also invented the musical instrument bearing his name: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin

It's best known for its otherworldly sounds. But the control mechanism is relevant here: two antennas are positioned to create a 2D field, and the motion of the musician's hands within that field controls tone and amplitude. Clearly, the guy was a talented radio researcher.

He invented it in 1920 in Russia, emigrated to the US in the late 20s, and ended up back in Russia in the late 30s. Sounds like a fascinating guy. Does anyone have any recommendations for biographies of him?

At 6%, $600 buys $100,000 of property.

If rates went up to 11% (1990 rates), your borrowing power drops 60% or more.

That's why we're maintaining these wacky rates. If rates floated via market forces, a significant part of the economy would just implode, particularly in California where people can walk away without penalty.
So what you're saying is that no other OS has any programs that can compete with Exchange, Outlook, Office and Sharepoint.

I agree. :)

Maybe those other shitty operating systems makers should try harder if they want to replace Windows. It won't happen though because none of them care about their business customers as much as Microsoft does.
I disagree wholeheartedly.

As a complete aside to this conversation, is there an easy way to unload Magic: The Gathering collections without dumping them on EBay as a single lot (or trying to individually price/sell cards)?

MaRo started a "New World Order" (http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/ne...) design approach in 2011, where they try to manage some of the complexity by making commons and uncommons have less and/or easier abilities. It sound reasonable, as casual players have a lot more commons and uncommons than rares and mythical rares, and it makes learning/enjoyment curve much less steep. Some experienced players associate NWO with "dumbing down the game".

The size and location of the dynamic actions/custom keys isn't fixed (unlike, say physical keys each with its own display), so I'm not sure if alignment makes sense in this case. Or am I misinterpreting what you mean?

That said, I think they can have the same "fixed" location for a given use case. Just like you can remap a keyboard so Caps Lock can mean Control, once you do that, Control will be at the same location (the Caps Lock key). Once you're used to that location, things work fine.
I'm actually not sure, I'll have to try that when I get back to my office. I always have a VM on one monitor and Windows on the other, so I never move things around. I might have to eat my words...

That's absurdly expensive.
The reason the poorest amoung us doesnt drive the economy is because they have no money to spend. Why would a business pwner accomadate for an individual that would cause sognificantly less profit margins.

However, when the value of USD is considered the same. But I know that _every single_ person in american can buy muy product at current price and higher. I will certainly bump it up. High until I hit a maximum where profit margins dip then settle.

Health insurance is caused the Skrelli fiasco and epipen fiasco. Probably more to come.

Universal Income sounds like a great idea from a naive perspective. But the real issue is there arent other solutions for it to compete with.
As the other commenter pointed out, you don't control how many hours a candidate spends on the assignment. All you see is the end result, and the guy who spends 8 hours will generally end up with a more impressive result than the candidate who spends 1 hour, and this reflects time spent far more than candidate quality. If you give an "open ended" assignment, you are encouraging candidates to spend a ton of time and then lie and claim they spent very little time, because that looks impressive.

Do you really think "the 1 person who made a proper package, a short .rst install & use documentation, and included crazy unicode test cases" spent only an hour?
Or not, if they work.

Have you tried living near a Caltrain station? I have, and IMHO the noise from the trains (they blow their horns when entering the station) is very annoying, and harder to ignore/get used to since it's discrete, unlike continuous white noise from highways.

Also, given the overall large area served by a single Caltrain station, parking lots next to them is arguably better and more egalitarian since people can drive in, and take the train more easily. The Park N ride concept is also not just a Bay Area thing, I believe it's quite successful in New Jersey and New York for people commuting to Manhattan to work.

I think you might be comparing to the subway systems in places like Manhattan or Barcelona or Paris, but the population and station density of those places is very different.
For testing I use an open-source program called Cockatrice (search google/github for it). It comes with a utility that can scrape the official wizards card db and then can connect to a multiplayer server. It doesn't support rules enforcement (it's a virtual tabletop), but it does work on Windows/Mac/Linux and gets out of your way enough to be excellent at testing with friends (particularly friends who may not live near you). Add in a voice chat client, and it's actually faster than playing with physical cards (shuffling is faster due to the computer doing it).
Not to mention emergency life support requiring active intervention to work. It was like having seat belts that required you to push a button to engage in the event of a crash.

Not surprisingly not a single astronaut survived Columbia's depressurization at altitude, because of failure to engage active life support. (A blessing because they had a literal snowballs chance in hell of surviving what followed, but still...)
The metals already being in orbit has a value too. Getting metal up in orbit from earth would cost many times the value of materials.
Ask HN: Will design for food
I'm a senior UI designer (6+ years of experience. Have worked for Disney, MTV, United Nations, large banks and others cool companies).

I'm flying to California in the upcoming weeks and I'm looking to meet and work with cool startups for free. Yes, free. (Company size doesn't matter. NDA's are ok too).

I can help with branding, UI (web/mobile), presentation decks, & product design. For free. No equity either.

In exchange, I'm asking for food and a room to sleep. Ideally I will work with each startup up to 1 week and then move to another city/startup.

Launch aborts are not an options for any tumbling vehicle. A launch abort from a spinning/tumbling rocket would see the capsule fired strait into the ground. Any out of control vehicle is pretty much a lost cause.

Shuttle's abort modes, including the bailouts, were premised on the craft being under control. Given the forces involves, if it wasn't under control it probably was about to disintegrate. But the same is true of spaceX-style capsule launches. Whether parachutes would correct a tumbling capsule, or rip it in half, is an open question. They both need to initiate abort procedures at least a millisecond before the craft departs into uncontrolled flight.

(And aborts can be triggered automatically, or by someone on the ground.)

The consensus of both high-assurance security and top minds in general INFOSEC is that voting shouldn't be done with computers or shouldn't exclusively rely on them. They're black boxes connecting via black boxes with endless ways to be attacked. I've noticed all the ways that protect them from that just make the process more incomprehensible to both lay people and technical people. The paper ballots or hybrids where electronics spit out a human-verified one are best schemes. Fewer forms of fraud that are easier to detect by massive numbers of people. Better to just improve those systems.

Far as hybrids, the Scantegrity scheme was always interesting to me as the human-visible steps are straight-forward:

https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/pubs/CCCEx09.pdf

Prior studies showed even it had usability problems. Someone interested in secure voting might want to tackle those for it or other stuff in the related work section.
> a touchscreen laptop. Now that would be amazing, right?

No, not without a made-for-touch-from-the-ground-up OS, which neither macOS nor Windows is.
The ballot has to be anonymous. And you need to find a way to make the technology available to all.
At some point you have to trust someone unless you refine you own silicon, make your own chips, audit every line of code they run, etc.
> The worm spreads by jumping directly from one lamp to its neighbors, using only their built-in ZigBee wireless connectivity and their physical proximity. The attack can start by plugging in a single infected bulb anywhere in the city, and then catastrophically spread everywhere within minutes, enabling the attacker to turn all the city lights on or off, permanently brick them, or exploit them in a massive DDOS attack

> To make such an attack possible, we had to find a way to remotely yank already installed lamps from their current networks, and to perform over-the-air firmware updates. We overcame the first problem by discovering and exploiting a major bug in the implementation of the Touchlink part of the ZigBee Light Link protocol, which is supposed to stop such attempts with a proximity test. To solve the second problem, we developed a new version of a side channel attack to extract the global AES-CCM key that Philips uses to encrypt and authenticate new firmware.

Fantastic work!
For non-living cargo it is cheaper to buy insurance.
Does this also apply to people moving in?
I would flip it and say that the Government only maintains the public key registry, and you alone keep your private key. You can extend that kind of scheme by signing "birth certificates" of your children using your private key to prove familial relationships. The hard part is dealing with key revocation in the event someone steals your private key. And of course overcoming the ambient distrust of government some people have.
Conversely, it would be easier for potentially hundreds or thousands of others, plus it would likely increase ridership and result in a more sustainable future for Caltrain. And it would also be better for the environment and economy.
Eh, that's only true if you are cash rich and time poor. A booster box with 36 booster packs costs ~$100. At 15 cards per pack, that's 540 cards per box. The latest set has 249 cards, so a box will probably get you close to 2 of each card. But to be guaranteed to have all the cards you want, you may need to buy a second booster box and do some trading/purchasing of individual cards. Total cost is at minimum ~5¢ per card.

But I can also just print 6 cards per page from my black and white laser printer at a cost of up to 8¢ per page, or about 1.3¢ per resulting card (plus cutting them out with scissors). And, this doesn't require an upfront payment of $150+.

So no, I would not say the cost of just buying the product is lower.

Several proactivity tips for a QA engineer
Sure, there are problems with all systems.

Fundamentally, if people can't agree, it's hard to make a system where things get done.

But in Europe, most of which has a multiparty indirect system (UK/Germany/Scandi/Spain), you have a government formed from a coalition of parties that doesn't have a majority against it. And you still have a semblance of voting for a particular leader, even though you're not actually. You know pretty well who will be your country's head if you vote for a particular party, at least until they resign.

The problem of small parties is normally dealt with by having a lower limit. For instance in Denmark and Sweden there's a 2/4% minimum proportion. That way you need some support to be represented, though of course a 10% voting bloc can still swing itself around like it's 20%. That's hard to quantify anyway, because it's a matter of how much they value various policies.

If you look at the US at the moment, you have a President that people voted for, who basically can't pass the laws that he promised everyone. You have ridiculous things like filibusters, where you can abuse the rules if you can't get what you want. You have seats that are safe in the election, but contested in the primaries. You have all sorts of issues about who is funding the parties. Children in school can see it's ridiculous.

Time to try a few new things. Proportional representation is just one thing, obviously nothing is guaranteed. Will be hard though, with the current system.
Firstly for all the previous things they have done, for example their lack of driver support for free operating systems which is why Linus said this, their lack of Free Software drivers, their tight lockdown on proprietary technologies like PhysX that hurts portability and hurts non-Nvidia users and finally default collection of telemetry data is a highly unethical practice and the inclusion of the extra code to do it can only hurt stability and performance and increase driver size. Go ahead and downvote me to hell, I'm not bothered, go ahead and buy Nvidia chips, I will avoid Nvida like the plague till the day I die.
Prop 13 actually fixes commercial property taxes as well so long-lived corporations end up paying very low tax. In addition, one can also pass the lower property assessment value on to ones children (principle residence and up to $1,000,000 other property)[1].

Ask HN: Can myopia be treated by compressing the eyeball?
Here's an interesting experiment that anyone with myopia (near-sightedness) can do. Cover one eye, and with the other eye which is affected by myopia gaze into a distant object. Press gently with your thumb on the eye/eyelid. By adjusting pressure you can probably make your vision much clearer (at least I can). This must be because because the refractive error is eliminated as the eyeball is compressed.

Is there any treatment of myopia this way? As a simple example, would applying pressure over a long period cause the eyeball to deform permanently, improving vision?

>> The Q factor is obtained from a researcher’s citation record: it is proportional to the logarithm of the number of citations that a scientist has received over a certain time frame.

I'm not terribly convinced by this Q-value. What happens if a scientist's field is a sub-field of a sub-field that's only of interest to very few people? What if their field only has a couple of journals? Then they'll get a low Q value but it won't be representative of the quality of their work.

For instance, see [1] :

The average biochemist ... will always score more highly than the average mathematician, because biochemistry attracts more citations.

There's some reserach from Lise Getoor I think, that shows how scientists tend to cluster in "cliques" [2] and that they will tend to cite each other's works. It means you can't really draw many conclusions from even a normalised h or Q, or whatever similar metric, except that the work is interesting to researchers in the same field, so, er, to people who are interested in it.
