Zoning isn't there to prevent the coal fired power plant from being built next to your house, it's to make it less bureaucratic to build in zoned areas - no need to get individual "planning permission" for any new permitted structure.

Countries that don't use zoning would still prevent the scenario you envisage.
As far as I know is Aphyer booked for months. We will do our best.
Why is rotation data being used to calculate altitude?

And why hasn't anybody asked that question yet? It's the first question I thought to myself.

It's a shame such an expensive piece of equipment and years of work and waiting around were obliterated by a bug that should have been caught.
It was possible to achieve a lot with just 320x200 on 8-bit systems.

Or on programmable calculators (TI, HP, etc.), with just 128x64 or so screen.

Or on Amiga (704|640)x(200|256|400|512).

Or VGA PC 640x480. VGA was for the first time truly enough for an IDE. SVGA 800x600 soon followed. And 1152x864, etc.

So one should definitely be able to manage with 1280x720.

I think we can adapt to whatever is available. I guess one could even manage software development with just a single line (320x8, 40x1 characters) display. It'd certainly be far from optimal, but you could do it.

Of course now I enjoy 4K resolution and multiple monitors...
> The problem is that you can't pick and choose.

This is absolutely false. Governments throughout the world can have extreme levels of control over certain aspects of life while being powerless in other, due in no small part to the willingness of people to accept this control, culturally and politically.

Germans are big on effective bureaucracy and a social safety net that works, yet they're some of the biggest sceptics in privacy, to the point where most people use cash for most transactions.

Americans have a complete unwillingness for a unified ID to the point where all states have to improvise with drivers' licenses and other forms of ID which are not uniform and imperfect next to most other countries' ID cards. Again it's a cultural issue.

Even though most of the state's power comes through the form of silent bureaucracies, people's willingness to accept that power always factors in. If people care enough, the state just can't push on with certain things.
Basically. Imagine how NASA splits up contracts for a large project, then put each of the companies in a different country.
You can do quite a bit without making strong distributional assumptions. There are nonparametric tests for all sorts of things (and the basic ones are covered in good first intro to stats books too).
Short answer: One of two scenarios...

1. Because the Strata (HOA in Canada) has no idea this is even an option.
2. Because most of them are in favour of it, (most likely).

A big issue with a lot of condos in major cities (particularly new construction) is that upwards of 50% of them (sometimes, even higher) are owned by investors not actually living in the building. It's only on site owners that care about the actual goings on of the space. Everyone else is just looking to make a buck.
Yea, it's likely a font issue. This[1] is what my font looks like, which is quite readable to me but i can't get much smaller (for me personally). Each pane fits ~85 chars (not including the vim sidebars/etc), so it's quite perfect for two panels.

Note that OSX by default has some type of feature that reduces the realestate you have available.. don't ask me to explain it, i haven't really used it much.

Basically, with the Retina monitors, the resolution is actually too high for a lot of scenarios. You end up with tiny fonts, tiny icons, etc. So they somehow sample/zoom the sizes so that you get both really crisp renders but with very few real pixels on screen.

This may be what is causing you to be surprised that i am still having issues with a high resolution Retina screen. But, turning it off would be effectively the same thing as just turning my iTerm2 fontsize to ~8-10 or something tiny, allowing me to fit three panes.

> I'm strongly opposed to short term rentals because it's just giving rise to alt-hotel property management landlords that reduce housing supply. I'm sort of OK with it on an ad-hoc this is my primary residence and I have a spare bedroom.

I'm opposed to long term rental.

Wait no. I'm not actually "opposed" to it. I just think of it as a major failure and a big obstacle in modern times.

Who the hell think it is acceptable to be forced into an unbreakable lease for 1-3 years and pay 1 months of agency fee + 2 months of guarantee in advance?

I'm not even sure I could keep a job for an entire year. (and I'm not talking of a programmer in SV who got a better offer but of normal people who just can't get a permanent job in this era).

If you want to stay somewhere for 1-3 week, an hotel will do.

If you want to stay 1-3 years, a "normal" flat will do.

AirBnB fills the gap between.

Not to mention that it also fills the gap for people who cannot give all the bullshit paperwork of normal flats. Just pay and done, AirBnb does not reject a host for [the same] bullshit reasons [as agencies]. (I don't know how it is in the USA but in France it's a nightmare to get a flat).
I'd like to address the difference between a SmartCard and an HSM as I feel like the author doesn't acknowledge some of the practical differences. While at the core they are both "hardware security", i.e. a physical chip that implements security, an "HSM" as I have commonly seen the term used is a completely different thing in most other ways.

An HSM is typically a 1-2U server, that is designed to provide high throughput of cryptographic operations. It is ultimately a collection of a few high performance servers networked together, with some custom ICs - not just a small chip. As a result, you pay up to tens of thousands of dollars for one, because it's a piece of critical infrastructure that is made to high tolerances. It's akin to buying hardware load balancers or firewalls appliances.

In addition to this, the validation process of an HSM is long. An HSM company will likely have teams of hardware engineers, software engineers, and specialised cryptography teams. There are audits for things like FIPS compliance, as well as extensive pentesting by external companies. All of this is expensive, to create a device that will never be mass market.
Why node js is so much faster??
Yes, it was there for at least two hours, I think I can attest to that. In a full day. You guys really made a brilliant job of showing the moderation here isn't partisan.

Edit:

I found an hourly mirror of the HN front page.

The story is present in these snapshots.

http://hhn.domador.net/2016/11/24/03/

http://hhn.domador.net/2016/11/24/04/

http://hhn.domador.net/2016/11/24/05/

http://hhn.domador.net/2016/11/24/06/

But not after that. (Timestamps are bit ambiguous, but it seems like California time. Or failing that, Texas time, one hour apart.)

This matches the "including 4 hours after we reduced the penalty" statement.

My conclusion is that you set it to be enabled on the front page for four hours in the middle of the night, California time. So was it also not immediately set when you updated that comment - presumably?
Yes and no, it is "worse" than that.

In this particular use (for bolognese or pescatora, amatriciana, etc.) "a/al/alla" means "in the style of", BUT when it is pasta al ragù (al pesto, al pomodoro, etc., i.e. other main ingredients) the "a/al/alla" means "with".

And we have also our own exceptions, one says "Pappardelle sul cinghiale" (pappardelle is yet another type of pasta), literally "pappardelle on the hog", BUT you don't have the "a" in "spaghetti aglio e olio (e peperoncino)".

As a side note a "ragù" has nothing to do with the (usually horrible) tomato sauce that is used for "spaghetti bolognese" outside Italy.

this ideas of "things we like can leak" but "speech that annoys us should be quarantined" is dangerous.

personally I find t_d somewhat useful to peak inside and see what the community is thinking on a given day. i can go read the liberal media for a while, see how Sessions is a racist, then peak into t_d and see the rebuttal. maybe if /r/politics was neutral /r/t_d wouldnt be necessary, but personally I like being able to see what each thought group is up to.
The parent is right. A lot of people in Toronto are dabbling in real estate .. especially condos. Some builders are offering a mgmt company which rents for you. In a previous building I was renting in, it was surreal to see people pick their keys from one person and handing it over to the mgmt office people right across. These were crazy priced, super fancy condos.
The sorry state of open source on ARM is not due to the vendors but ARM itself and to an extent Google. The effort to open GPU drivers on ARM is over 5 years old now I think and you can see all the promises made on the ARM community forums.

The blame is shifted from the vendor to ARM and then back like a football and open source developers give up and look for something productive to do.

It appears Arm is not interested in open source or moving beyond the mobile market where things are tightly controlled.
Well wtf they completely swapped the article out. When I read it it was a "this quiet suburban neighborhood... The street time forgot" and now it's directly about the court case. In the previous version of the article it explicitly states that the rental period in question was under vrbo. Now that's gone. Rip hn karma.

> "The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could kind of infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly or fictional stories and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction," Coler says.

Listening to the audio of the interview, I couldn't help but hear him say the above with a sneer. He claims to be a registered Democrat, maybe it's true, but since this is how he makes his living, he clearly doesn't give a fuck in either direction. It's something I detect from a fairly large portion of supposed alt-righters online: they don't actually believe that the racism and fascism they're espousing is righteous or good for them/humanity, but they just don't give a fuck. Years of living with their main source of socialization coming via disembodied interactions in the ether of memes, cynicism, shock material, etc of 4chan and reddit has driven many to a deep and true nihilism. This guy is the one eyed king troll in the land of the emotionally blind.
Does it really?

Some of the algorithms for reducing lambda expressions are symbolic, like, say, alpha reduction. But they are not done in lambda calculus itself, as far as I can see; they are done on lambda calculus (by the mathematician, or a machine for manipulating lambda calculus terms).

Analogy: just like ordinary algebra doesn't have symbols; but of course mathematicians work with symbols and so do computer algebra systems.

Since lambda calculus is Turing complete, it can of course represent lambda calculus manipulation (via Goedel numbering of lambda terms and then working with their arithmetic encoding as Church numerals, or whatever).

Small Businesses Lament There Are Too Few Mexicans in U.S., Not Too Many
The current Firefox UI is XUL and XBL, tons and heaps of it. Re-implementing it in e.g. HTML is not an easy task, in particular not when you also want the result to look at least somewhat OS-native (took XUL itself ages to get there, btw). You also cannot do the OS-native look in HTML alone, you need support from the engine, which means servo has a some work ahead on that front too.

So for the foreseeable future, servo is not an alternative to replace XUL/XBL anyway. mozilla said that themselves.

Using servo to render the actual web pages inside the browser, that's another matter (once servo is considered stable enough, of course).
To the add-on developer, this should not really make any difference anyway, XUL add-on, SDK add-on or WebExtension alike, as most add-ons for the most part will use the regular DOM APIs which servo has to provide anyway to interact with web stuff.
Oh, good. The repo's current documentation indicates that it's deeply unstable, which is why I drew that conclusion.

Maybe not all the code, but you can share lot of the UI behaviour, which is usually quite complicated. This kind of sharing allows you to to have a very similar experience in both places too.

Decentralized currency isn't something anyone is taking seriously in the financial sector as its antithetical to their needs.

When banks talk about block chains they are talking about private ledgers that will handle concurrent banking, account consolidation and clearinghouse functionalities not about bitcoin.

A bank has to be able to control the currency and honestly it's not like bitcoin is decentralized its in the hands of large miners instead of banks but effectively it can be just as beurocratic.

For some people, any restriction is too much. It's the 4chan vs 8chan thing.
it will just evolve stronger. when 4chan banned gamergate it bleed over into twitter and reddit, and parts of it become the donald. The new alt-right is much stronger and diverse than people think due their filter bubble, and thats why this will become far worse no matter what anyone does.

Valid argument, but only in case if that web app exists. But if it exists and you want to share the code, there's no point in using Electron or building a desktop app at all: you can just create a shortcut on the desktop or even turn it into offline web app in Chrome.
Watermarking puts the liability (maybe not legally) on the customer to protect the files from any third party access because there's always the risk that someone who gains access to them puts the files on the net with your name/email or user id on it. This is something no customer can realistically ensure and to me this is a huge restriction to the usage of the books. Second it's ugly as hell to have the watermark on every page. Third it sends the message to me as a customer that I'm not trusted. WTF dear publisher. I want to buy your ebook although I could find 90% of all ebooks for free on the net. Why do you think would I do that if I didn't want to support your business? You watermarking publishers need to realize that by watermarking you create a defective product. The people who pirate your books get a better product, one without a disgracing watermark. Whenever something like that happens, where the pirated product is better than the legally purchased one, it is a clear indication that the anti-piracy mechanism should be dropped. Big respect to Tim O'Reilly and Bill Pollock who are two of the few people who have fully understood that.

Maybe. Depends on the power density of supercapacitors, and also on whether you can increase the power density of the battery when you're not worried about making sure you can charge it as far as possible.
I honestly have no idea, but entirely unsourced claims, screenshots, claims that purport to be from other people on social media, and posts that link to genuine news articles which don't actually support the claim being made are all far more common. If I had to guess, dubious links somehow ended up with less credibility than no link at all.

I like the simplicity, well done for getting this up and running!

Please be more open about the pricing though. When the service costs are not upfront and are buried in the FAQs, I lose trust in the service.

Every real customer of yours will want to know what it costs. Have a simple pricing page at the very least, and link to it from the standard 'how does this work?' and other places. Just saying that you can pay $2 to keep your server running longer is not good enough.

No, that's different. The crypto is done in hardware, yes, but keys and plaintext are still seen in software, and software is inherently untrusted. Our aim is to support use cases where you do not want software to handle anything.

I think Intel's SGX is a better solution for hardware-supported software isolation, but it still isn't widespread and has a number of weaknesses.
Dropbox itself takes 200Mb and its a simple python app. Google drive takes 300Mb. VSCode takes about 100Mb of ram with a project opened right now. Even my Emacs takes 250Mb and I literally live inside it.

All of them have at least 2Gb of virtual memory being mapped to them. Yet I still have 9Gb of free ram.

If you want to go against bloat, you might just as well uninstall every single software from your computer, including its OS.

The point you're actually making is that the decision to build a desktop app with Electron is almost always a business decision and not a technical one. If you already have all this SPA code that you built, it's going to be cheaper to re-use it and provide the same UI to the end user that they already know from your SPA.

Forget for a second that the performance will be terrible because it's not native code. Forget for a second that a desktop application typically benefits from a more dense UI than a web application, and may benefit from such desktop-only UI features such as separate tooltip windows or OpenGL rendering (yes you can do that in a browser but come on it's not the same). The fact of the matter is that the beancounters typically care less about delivering the best possible UX and more about how their bottom line is going to be affected as they continue the corporate strategy of expending 20% of the effort to get 80% of the potential business benefit.

Electron was built for the beancounters. Not for the HN purists. Simple as that.
No, I have not actually. I will definitely check the whitepaper out. Thanks!

I've always found it interesting how native American foods (tomatoes, potatoes, peanuts, chilis, corn, strawberry, pineapple, etc.) have been integrated into "traditional" cuisines around the world. Italian spaghetti sauce or Thai peanut sauce, etc. have only been available for a few hundred years max... Still a lot, but some other traditions go back millennia.
Lisp is marginally better, because it tries less hard to work around type mismatches (so something like (+ 1 "") is an error). But it suffers from the same fundamental problem: no type checks until runtime.

It's fine to have some kind of option for data whose type isn't known until runtime. This stuff happens, and languages that insist there's no such thing make dealing with it more difficult. But this is the rarer case! Why optimise for it rather than for the more common one?
