I've found that all nighter euphoria kicks in around 30 hours. It's nice as a momentary reprieve, and gives you a notion that you can feel different, which gives you motivation to get better. But if you're legit suffering from major depressive disorder it still takes years of hard work.

On the other hand, if you're experiencing acute anxiety, this approach ends up hurting more than it helps. Try meditation, yoga, massage, muscle relaxation, exercise. Pretty much anything that gets you more in touch with your body.

Well, this is cool. Kudos to the folks that made this happen.

It was always a tragedy that the Windows Shell team insisted on creating their own "Shortcut" mechanism and not shaping the existing FS team symlinks to give a unified mechanism. It used to be a big ask to get teams to work with each other.

Could this be ye oldest piece of functionality to arrive in Windows yet? We also had ANSI sequences at the cmd prompt this year. And native ISO mounting in 2011. But non-admin symlinks go back way further. Cool.
At the university I used to work out, the swapped out the Cisco firewalls for Junipers. One of my applications immediately started having random errors. A week of troubleshooting with the network team, and Juniper support, concluded that the routers were silently dropping some UDP packets. No logs for it, and no rules to explain it, and no pattern to it either. It took days to just convince the network guys that it really might be the firewall, since it wasn't reporting any issues or any reason for the packet loss.
Also no fix for it. We had to switch the application to TCP in order to work around the problem.
Opinion forming:

Isn't this a way to invite volatility into the Rails ecosystem? Maybe instead of adding options for webpack, yarn etc. Rails should decouple itself from the front-end so that most of us can use our Preferred approach™

Alternately something in the vein of moonglum's gem [0] should also work but again, as an external lib. not part of Rails.

Agreed. Even in Switzerland it is not to unusual to stay _at home_ for a while. More because economic reasons, but its reasonable. Many will, when they move out, look for something nice and not start with shitty small apartments or crowded WGs just to get away from their parents.
Ha! Thanks for posting this, I hadn't seen it before. I love the 'go big or go home' nature of the projects that attempt to realize the promise of nuclear power, by simply using nuclear bombs. The famous example being nuclear pulse propulsion (project orion).

Again, this isn't JavaScript's fault. Go to Java, Python, or Ruby (incidentally, with JavaScript, they're all languages that came out in the mid-90s) and you'll find a similar breadth of library options.

The problem is, where there is breadth, you think you see depth. Just because there are dozens of frameworks doesn't mean there are dozens of new things to learn. Functional-reactive programming isn't a new concept. Virtual DOM diffing isn't a new concept, and it's also not one that is difficult to understand.

Perfect is the enemy of good. What you're talking about is just being inexperienced. It's just being a junior programmer and has nothing to do with JS.

Couple different classes of customers - utilities are the existing (Electric/Gas/Water meters) and IoT (Sensors, Street Lights, Parking) are the up and coming.

Both of them lend themselves well to mesh networking application, and mesh networks, in which any one of the 5mm+ deployed devices might appear in any one of the 10,000+ network segments, and in which we just want to concatenate the MAC address and Network segment to get a network address (basically SLAAC) - really makes IPv6 a pretty good fit.
Stellarators have become easier to design, but they're still a complete pain in the arse to build. Wendelstein 7-X was nine years behind schedule and significantly over-budget, mainly due to unforeseen problems in assembling the coils. The National Compact Stellerator Experiment was abandoned in 2008, again due to construction delays.

For stellerators to become viable, we need some major advances in manufacturing technology.

Maybe it works different for different people, but for me hallucinations and paranoia induced by heavy sleep deprivation (then into some existential dread panic + strong derealisation) were a trigger for depressive episodes (especially during my religion-losing phase in my life, but not only).

I don't mean sleeping too little, but not sleeping at all for a night or two.

I know it is anecdotal, but for this reason it seems that taking this advice may be risky for some.
Works quite well (on iOS), really good work! Here is a small issue I experience on a lot of mobile sites with embedded maps and also on yours:

If I zoom the page outside of the map and then scroll so that the map fills the full screen there is no way to zoom out/get away from the map again. You will just scroll and zoom the map and eventually will have to reload the page.
It also allows to scroll far out of bounds of the world which can be a bit confusing.

As an electrical engineer I deal with assembly programming all too frequently. So clearly I am missing something important about the concepts presented here. Why on earth would I go to the trouble of writing assembly code to put in the middle of my C and then use another tool to strip the assembly and convert it to C? Because it turns out that I'm even better at writing C than I am at assembly. And although the power of assembly is fantastic, I vastly prefer C.

Thanks in advance for any explanation. I'm clearly missing something that should be obvious.
If you are depending on ITER to do it, then forget about it. ITER is a money sink. It was designed to suck up as much fusion research money as possible to slow the progress of fusion development.

Don't take my word for it. Go to their website, study the annual reports and time lines, the ever consistent delays, and the mammoth budget and budget overruns. Then go read about the (far too few) more promising experiments in other labs achieved with shoe-string budgets.
I definitely think investing is confusing to some folks, especially when just starting out it can be intimidating. There's a huge opportunity for new tech ideas and solutions to help clarify and simplify getting started with investing.

I'm not sure where you are in the building/testing phase for this so maybe a lot more changes are coming. At this point it's not obvious this first iteration simplifies investing for someone new to it and may seriously be making things worse. Put yourself in the shoes of a first time investor arriving at your site, might they still have questions before feeling ready to choose an investment company to click on and are you helping answer at least some of those initial questions...

What are those risk and liquidity things? How did you come up with that? Are blue links affiliate links to these companies? if so are there no rules for these programs?

Are you guys comfortable with how robo-advisors and investing work?...Each clients situation will be unique based on things like their age and their goals, etc. so information should be presented with that in mind.

I'm assuming that this initial admin step is due to the plethora of edge cases in Windows that exist when it comes to symbolic links (old APIs being the most probable cause, but there may be issues in the current FS permissions model). If MS just enable this functionality now, with no extra steps required, in the main stream release, then they will leave themselves open to a bunch of potential security issues and nasty bugs.

Hopefully they'll act on the feedback of the insider-track release users, and those enabling developer mode in the more stable releases, and this will iron out the vast majority of problems before they just enable it by default for all users.

I know this means enterprise users and main-stream (non insider-track) users will be stuck without this functionality (obviously available in unix land for decades) for a while yet, but I'd rather MS rolled this out in a responsible manner rather than just open the flood-gates of potential malware. Symlinks may be basic, but they have been the cause of many nasty vulnerabilities in Linux over the years. Hopefully MS is just being cautious and in a year or so all Windows users will be able to create symlinks without any admin interjection at all.

Don't worry, it was a made up quote. You're safe.
Yep. Singapore Circle Line is a CBTC (Communication Based Train Control). Trains receive their movement authority through wireless transmission. If due to interferences the transmission is interrupted for more than some seconds, then movement authority expires and the on-board systems will bring the train to a stop through safe measures (typically, application of emergency brakes). It is quite common to have interference issues due to some geographical problem (e.g. incorrect installation of access point antenna) but much less common to have a jammer train. It is also quite impressive that the jamming would be long and wide enough to exhaust all the redundancies put into such system.
It was years ago, but I think I had my fingerprints taken to enter the USA. I'm British.

The original Zork source code in MDL which is available here:
http://retro.co.za/adventure/zork-mdl/

It's also here on github: https://github.com/itafroma/zork-mdl

It is fascinating to read, and really beautiful code, quite understandable even if you don't know MDL, and practically a form of literature.

I played the original Zork on MIT-DM and also the Infocom versions of course. Reading the source code is like seeing the behind-the-scenes underground rooms and passages at Disneyland!

While I was playing Zork, I found a bug. First some context: when you're battling the troll, you can give things to him, and he eats them! Sometimes he drops his axe, and you can pick it up and kill him with it. He blocks the exits until you kill him.

So I tried "give axe to troll," and he ate his own axe, then cowered in terror: "The troll, disarmed, cowers in terror, pleading for his life in the guttural tongue of the trolls."
Not satisfied with that, I tried "give troll to troll", and he devoured himself: "The troll, who is remarkably coordinated, catches the troll and not having the most discriminating tastes, gleefully eats it."

...Except that I still could not get out of the exit, because every time I tried, it said "The troll fends you off with a menacing gesture."

I figured there must be a troll flag that wasn't getting cleared when the troll devoured itself. And sure enough, I found it in the code, and it's called "TROLL-FLAG!-FLAG"!

Here is an excerpt of the MDL troll code, where you can see the bug, where it should clear the troll flag when the troll devours itself, but doesn't (well that's how I would fix it!):

The Matrix, Inverted
I just got a MonoPrice Select Mini a few weeks ago for $200, and spent about $30 on upgrades for it (an e3d hotend, the rest of the upgrades I printed myself), and about $80 on 4 1kg spools of filament. It's really great, I'm loving it so far. Been making my own things with OpenSCAD too, and some of my friends have been making things with SketchUp for me to print.

I think this is very very dangerous advice. So much so that I flagged this article. Sleep deprivation is harmful in most cases and is very likely to worsen depression and work performance significantly (not to mention - you shouldn't drive cars and operate heavy machinery when you're deprived of sleep, it has similar effects as being drunk). Don't do sleep deprivation. Get your sleep schedule in order, rather than devastating it even more.

You could rewrite that as, before public schooling, we had competent adults who could start families and businesses of their own at ages 13, 15, 17, etc. And we've replaced that with a system designed to babysit "children" up to age 26 or so. I'd say repealing the 20th century would be a good start.

Sometimes there are existing binaries you want to instrument with code. Maybe to profile or perform dynamic analysis for something like bug detection or security enhancement.

Valgrind operates like this. Instrument the allocation routines and with tracking of pointer variables you can detect dangling pointers and overflows and leaks and so on.
> And exactly how many people do you think have $1,500 laying around? (Hint: not many)

If you're paying $300/mo and are reasonably healthy (i.e. not going to the doctor regularly) then you'd save that up in now time. The real fix to all of this is to remove day-to-day care from health insurance and let it be just "insurance" (i.e. not healthcare). They have a bit of that with catastrophic plans but there are limitations on who can sign up for them (which I personally think is really stupid).

I'm saying out of all the possibilities, that's what could have happened. Either millions of girls weren't born because they selectively picked boys... OR as the article asserts, people ignored the policy entirely and hid the fact they had illegal children.

Either outcome is a total failure of the ability of a repressive government to control its citizenry. One option is a moral failure, the other is a policy failure.

Jonathan Safran Foer: technology is diminishing us
Ask HN: Is there a IMU sensor with BLE and API available on the market?
I'm looking for some 6 or 9 DoF IMU sensor with integrated bluetooth for a prototype.

Basically I'm developing an iOS game (Android is also in focus) where I can play with one remote control i.e. with an IMU sensor on it, which is connected via bluetooth.

With this IMU sensor I would like to recognise 6 different states in a shaken environment (1. Left down,2. Left up, 3. Middle down, 4. Middle up, 5. Right down, 6. Right up) maybe a barometer will be required!?

This is what I thing this IMU has to be able:

+ accelerometer, gyro

+ Magnometer and Barometer... maybe?

+ sensor fusion API will be great -> Motion in specific axis (shakes) without being affected by the accelerometer gravity

+ Bluetooth BLE connection

I found out a sensor with similar characteristics, but is not available yet: Meta Motion C – 10 Axis IMU + Sensor Fusion - https://store.mbientlab.com/product/meta-motion-c/#add-a-sensor

From the same company (MBIENTLAB) there are other sensors (MetaWear family). The question is if you know other similar sensors available on the market
Thank you for the help!

I'd really would like to know what the German Wendelstein people would do with those better Superconductors. Can you build a smaller Stellarator?
Which then means, if you have a library that can support leap hours, why not leap seconds? More frequent small changes is much better than infrequent large changes; at the very least it will disabuse programmers of poor understanding of time and how to track it properly.
This is a problem I've noticed with a number of mobile-friendly sites that offer a full width map, regardless of how it is implemented.
