They do deserve to be paid for their product, yes. And it's worth paying for.

They ill will was also deserved though, because when they changed business plans to exclude more features from the community version, they surprised and angered many users. Bait and switch is what got communicated, and trust violated, forcing projects to seek alternatives or modify their budgets.

This can be avoided by clearly communicating the roadmap of community vs enterprise features and sticking to it. But don't keep danging new features in free and then remove them unexpectedly.

Yes, energy loss in the tracks (or pipes) affects both charging and discharging, so using rails is definitely better than some alternatives. But the problem is that even if the transport process is lossless, the gravitational potential energy stored at the top of the hill is not that much in the grand scheme of things. In this sense it would be better if the force of gravitational attraction were stronger. Maybe we should move to Jupiter?
I solved it with a pencil and paper when I was 12 years old or so, and I'm pretty sure lots of other people did too.

I agree it's a little tedious by modern standards but it's really not that complicated. If I recall correctly you can represent the entire thing with about 5-10 boxes connected by a couple lines between them plus a bunch of little loops where the player remains in the same place.

It's a succinct area of the map. Perhaps you should try again with a fresh perspective.
In the same boat. I tried Druid as well which was almost a better solution but lacked the flexibility and maturity.

We are using Postgres + citus + some HLL. Our success is probably because we just have a lot more experience with Postgres.

I still haven't tried HBase though.

The point raised in the article is in my opinion quite valid. Most services offered by Amazon are practically free for personal use and extremely convenient (no need to install, update and manage anything), so there is less and less incentive to use open source in small scale. By deploying equivalent open source solutions in small scale you basically just waste time and effort.

I disagree with the proposed remedy. The writer argues that open source will be more useful if components are more interchangeable. In my opinion a bigger transformation is needed. In the long run, open source software projects must turn into open cloud services, offering the same level of convenience that the commercial cloud does. The paradigm shift from software to services is already happening and traditional open source is falling behind.
Right.
Still, in practice, if you are setting pointers to NULL after freeing them (to say "there is nothing there" if some other part of the program wants to check) you will get a crash (as the compiler won't be able to prove the pointer is NULL if setting it to NULL depends on what happens at runtime).

I agree it's not perfect solution, just something to help you catching errors in your logic (not checking for NULL when something could be NULL is a bug in program logic).
I would argue that the probability of viable fusion rises faster with funding than does ending the aging process, if we assume that they're both possible. It sounds like fusion is largely a materials problem, where it seems like more funding would let us try more things more quickly (assuming some current underutilization of people who are capable or nearly capable (with some small amount of education and training)), whereas with human body processes, ethical concerns make it largely a black box for more complex functions like aging.

Someone please correct me if I'm way off base here.

Ask HN: Side gigs, contracting, guidance for back end developer?
I'm looking to improve my financial situation, and I wondered, where do you guys go to pick up some short term backend remote contracts when you happen to be in situation like this?

I'm a scala developer, and I can't find any positions like that, which I understand... what other skill should a profficient Scala developer/backend dev pick so that he can get these short term gigs? Obviously javascript is very popular, but it's very limited skill transfer between scala<->javascript, and frontend world moves very quickly... what are your goto-technologies when you need some extra cash? JavaEE? Php?

I know the obvious answer - learn frontend, pickup frontend work. But I'm looking for solution that maximises transfer of skills inbetween, so I'm not completely out...

Any suggestions or guides would be very much appreciated.

p.s: my experience: scala(a lot) | php ages ago | C# very well | little to none javaEE experience | little to none html5/javascript experience
There are many equivalent statements to the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) and statements that, if true, would imply the RH holds. But F(s) = zeta(2s)/zeta(s) being analytic in the critical strip, outside the critical line, DOES NOT imply the RH is true.

That's my point, it doesn't matter if the author really showed F(s) is analytic in that region or not.

Showing something is equivalent to the RH is a major area of research and so is finding statements that directly imply the RH. The function F(s) is very well known and a simple function, so if there were any simple statements involving it that directly implies the RH, we would know by now. I hope this helps.
One should really note the major differences dynasm took from the more abstract and logical jit libraries, which try to abstract platform oddities from the user. Like LLVM, libjit, asmjit, v8, libgccjit, lightning or nanojit.

It doesn't care how you call a function, it doesn't even care about 2 or 3 address op syntax. All it does is adding simple template logic to let you handle the platform-specific abstractions by yourself.

And in the end it's easier to add your own prologue or prepcall1 macro, than relying on a library.

people always looked at the "most portable jit library". dynasm offers no platform support per se, as all the others do. you have to do by yourself. it's the least portable of all. but in the end it was much more powerful, and offered the most ports. you get the asm anyway by dissambling the target function. with the libraries (such as LLVM) you'd need to translate a high-level overview to the library API.
with dynasm you just need to adjust your types, prologue, struct field accesses and epilogue. and dynasm is perfect and practical in doing this, whilst the other libraries try do to much more, with much more handholding and are much bigger and less effective.

I don't agree with the genius part though. lua itself was pretty much perfect already, and lua took most of the good parts from earlier dynamic languages, lisp and self, and esp. Inferno's "Dis VM". http://doc.cat-v.org/inferno/4th_edition/dis_VM_specificatio... which was Lucent's faster and smaller competitor of Sun's stack-based and GC-heavy JVM.
it just missed besides a jit a good OO, and luajit didn't add that neither. e.g. _why the lucky stiff added a nice OO layer on top of lua, plus a nice simple jit. much simplier than luajit.

luajit just objected to some questionable decisions in lua regarding performance, and then took over. esp. nan tagging makes a lot of sense, but the compiler optimizations are also pretty cool. esp. when compared to the massive LLVM overhead.

luajit is using the slower and bigger 3-address SSA and the optimizations based on that. but the CPU and the lua bytecode is just using the fast and natural two address op syntax, where it is not easy to add SSA. This is the genius part. http://wiki.luajit.org/SSA-IR-2.0
I agree. I'm currently living in India with my parents on a sabbatical, and really enjoy the lack of responsibility and work. There is plenty of time to relax and have fun with hobbies. It feels as if this is how life is meant to be lived, with work being something one does once in a while as needed.
I made this mistake. Bought £1500 worth of btc a couple of years ago, and they've appreciated nicely. I didn't feel so clever during the year-long downswing, though. I've started putting most of my money in an index fund and only a small amount in gold each month (I'll probably start splitting my gold budget between gold and bitcoin at some point). I learned that investing isn't about making speculative bets but figuring out where your money needs to go to best fit with your life goals.

I was reading lots of perma-bear/libertarian bloggers, the type who predict impending financial apocalypse. I still think they have a case, which is why I still sock away some of my monthly savings in gold/btc. But I also now realise that you can't bet your entire future on one possible outcome, hence the bulk of my money going into the index fund. If I save up enough that it becomes worthwhile I might look into the Buffet strategy of individual stock picking (he says with a small amount to invest you can make superb returns in well chosen small-caps).

I really dont understand how this shit is so hard.
And what is wrong with it?
Honestly curious.
I'm all for news about novel treatments to common difficulties such as depression. That said, it would be best if there were substantive support for something before it's spread around as a solution.

Especially given the reproducibility questions that have come up in a range of fields lately, it seems a little premature to publish this anecdote. Even more so because this is exactly the sort of thing people may try at home.

This time, that might not be so terrible. And there is the disclaimer that you shouldn't pull an all-night without clinical guidance. But that's not likely to be heeded, and it's a bad practice to be contributing to in terms of scientific literacy and trust.
Thanks a lot, I'll go through it.

Cancer has no such intention. Like any other organism, it competes for resources with those around it, and survives if it is effective enough at that to do so. Given that it often best characterized by the genetic mutations it has developed relative to the host (thus, it may differ from you genetically significantly more than an identical twin), I believe it is entirely fair to call it a separate organism. An 'extremely effective cancer' (as terrible as this sounds), would survive without regard to the state of the host, as Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumor Disease, which is contagious (transmissible by bite), emerged from a single original host, and has been around for quite a while.
If you suffer from depression, don't rely on only 1 method (therapy, mindful meditation, the Wim Hof method, nutrition, sleep hygiene, yoga, spiritual quest, sports, meds, etc.), combine as many as you can, especially if you're in a deep hole. Certain psychedelics such as psilocybin [0] and LSD (very similar) do have a positive effect, if you have fully educated yourself on the matter and follow each and every one of the rules.

I'm currently sitting in an airport after just getting back from Seattle. I had an interview for an internship with Microsoft. It was proably one of the best experiences of my life. Alone, in a big city, everything paid for, you couldn't beat it. Leading up to it, though, and after it I have had some of the worst thoughts, doubtfulness, strife, pain, and headaches that I have ever felt. I couldn't concentrate when reading, my appetite was way out of wack, and I really couldn't sleep at night. I haven't been able to sleep at night for a while now, perhaps a few months, and I'm tired of it. I lay there and toss and turn, and even when I do sleep I don't feel refreshed like I used to, or a refreshed feeling lasts only for a few minutes after I wake up. It's a little scary to think that this crept up on me without me even noticing.

I trailed away a little there, sorry about that. Anyway, I always like to leave "red-eye" when I go on trips. I'm only 19, this is only the second time I've ever flown, but I quite like red eye. Because I made the decision to do that, I'm inadvertently pulling an all-nighter. I hope it works out.

tl;dr, sleep deprivation can help quickly alleviate symptoms of major depression but symptoms return after a few days. Author thinks that using light therapy may extend the symptom relief, long enough for antidepressant meds to start working.

Use goaccess on the server? Or cname ganalytics? I usually use g analytics for things that the server does not see and cross reference with goaccess. You cant make a new analytics without ending up in adblock lists anyway.

Also disqus works without ads. There ad system sucks badly anyway i was making 30 cents a day on a website that makes at least 30$ with adsense. Even thought disqus used up even more space.

I found value in dissecting the different levels of change. For the sake of sanity though, we should do breaking changes. Breaking changes exist because we have limited capacity as individuals and an industry to maintain software. This is especially true for infrastructure that is supported by (limited) corporate sponsorship and volunteers. Breaking changes limit our window of focus to two or three snapshots of code, instead of having our window of focus grow without bound. Our limited capacity can still be effective as a library changes over time.

The most important point of this talk is here: "You cannot ignore [compatibility] and have something that is going to endure, and people are going to value" [0]. Breaking changes provide a benefit for library developers, but it is usually damage done to end users. As consumers we should weigh the cost of keeping up with breaking changes against the quality of a tool, and the extra capacity its developers are likely to have.

Indeed, Emacs is a great example of how a productivity-oriented OS should look like - giving you a very powerful and efficient set of user-interface operations, and then letting you use them everywhere, no matter the task you're doing.

Pretty much the exact opposite of a normal OS - hence many of us in Emacs world do treat our editor as an OS, and prefer to do everything within it.
Sure, it may be a hassle, but that's no reason not to do it. The more people homeschool, the more powerful their political voice will be.

It's great that he's doing some research (because there doesn't appear to be much around at the moment) but it's a bit worrying that he's writing this article as if this treatment works before the research is in. Especially because mainstream media is going to report this as if bright light therapy and sleep deprivation definitely works as a treatment for depression.

Another proposed solution for buffering wind and solar energy is https://www.ecn.nl/news/item/energy-train-de-revolutie-voor-...: a train going round in a 5km diameter circular vacuum tunnel doing up to 2000km/h.

That hasn't been built yet (it seems more or less at the 'back of an envelope' stage to me) and would be more expensive to build, but it promises to store quite a bit more energy (20 GWh vs 12.5 MWh), so it might be cheaper per kWh.

I also think it can be built using existing technology and will be safe enough if the tunnel is built underground (derailments would be catastrophic)

One problem is that this only works at scale. Halve the diameter of the ring, and you likely have to halve the top speed of the train, decreasing capacity by 75%.
