I don't think we'll see consistent 1Gbps+ speeds for Wi-Fi until the 802.11ax standard arrives, which is probably 2018-2019.

This is a good post about it:

The problem is in the case of zero-sum thinking with quality. "Oh that's not Apple, well it's crap" is ridiculous a logical fallacy.

Apple being of whatever quality has no bearing on the quality of anything else. Not only do other companies match, many of them exceed quality of apple.

>and the carriage drivers could become chauffeurs

And the people in Detroit could move somewhere with productive economic activity. Why are they different from carriage drivers?

FWIW I used to be a protectionist. I became disillusioned with it when the choices around which things to protect, what to protect them from (foreign competition vs. automation), which status quo to lock in, and where we draw the boundaries of units that ought to be protected from each other, started to seem arbitrary.

I remember a particularly compelling line of argument from an economics textbook: okay, the US should make its own cars, but why stop at the national border? Why not have every state make its own cars? Think of all the jobs that would create! An auto industry in every state! But why stop at state? Why not make people sell their cars and trade to locally manufactured ones at every county line? Because it'd be a huge waste.

And, of course, many of the things we propose to protect "disrupted" something else not so long ago, sometimes in living memory. If we protect truckers from autonomous vehicles, for example, we will have to explain to the laid off railroad guys why we did not protect them from the truckers. Why we did not protect the longshoremen from the shipping container and crane.

It's the government's responsibility to take care of its citizens, absolutely.

Making people do work that they know is inferior to what could be done by machines (or foreigners) just seems like an extremely degrading way to go about that. I'd much rather see a good chunk of the output of "license to print money" operations taxed and redistributed.
They are up front about the affiliate links.

They've earned a great reputation in spite of them.

One strategy would be to discount them somehow. If they give something a great review, don't trust it entirely, but remember it if you also see 5 other good reviews.
> Was he trying to create some kind of official narrative on paper that he had the knowledge and you didn't?

Yes, this. We had actually worked together amicably for several years, he as senior, I as mid-level. Then we both got bumped up. As part of my new responsibilities as senior, I tried to surface issues and confront them transparently. I was mindful not to point fingers or show anyone up but rather identify them as shortcomings in our practices or policies.

For cultural reasons, I think he felt threatened by this and assumed it was his responsibility to hide issues and save his own face. It fell apart pretty quickly. It sucked but I've used it as a career lesson.
I could only dream of having this in my thinkpad able to do some cool mesh networking/APRS strait in my machine.
That this could be considered "controversial" 2016 is just mind blowing to me.
I just bought one UAP-AC-PRO. The one pack comes with a PoE injector. The five pack does not. I highly recommend it after a week of use.

Also, the linked article is wrong. The iphone app is more than adequate for simple home setups (no crazy java pc installation required while you're up on a ladder / in the attic installing it). It wouldn't surprise me if they have a comparable android app. Didn't check.

Also Ubiquiti are launching a new mesh networking product this month.
FWIW, I use Britannica regularly and don't recall ever seeing those problems. The information is clearly better, IME; there's nothing like being able to access instant expert knowledge on almost any topic. The main drawback is that the coverage is, of course, much narrower; no pokemon characters.

Crowd-sourcing can be a great tool, but not for high-integrity information. IMHO: As the public now widely accepts lies and propaganda, I've come to think that overlooking Wikipedia's accuracy problems was a forerunner to this situation. I'm sure much of Wikipedia's information is good; I just don't know which is correct and which is complete nonsense.
42-minute video, I have Adblock and it worked fine
Ha, looks like a pattern: my first was TextMate. It didn't put up as much of a fight, though -- symbols weren't stripped, there was one named "is_registered", and it worked exactly like you might expect. That didn't stop me from feeling immensely pleased with myself, of course.

I too bought a license when I entered industry and the asking price went from 20 hours of yardwork to 2 hours of doing what TextMate had helped me learn to love.

These days I mostly use Jetbrains and Sublime, but I'll never forget how easy and powerful TextMate templates were. Two steps forward, one step back.

Can you elaborate one some of the details? For instance, what about tiny cities? What about areas not in city limits at all? What about two or more cities in the same metro area -- how do they divide the power?
It all boils down to shielding. A Rigol spectrum analyzer will never have the performance of an HP due to the lack of EMI mitigation. I have a Flex 6500 with no noise issues due to the computer, then again my RX antenna is 100 feet away.

I'm curious to know more about this. Was it cases like "the jacket or the sweater" or was it something more serious?

If your parent distracted you from not getting ice cream by giving you a toy, would you be OK with that? Basically you are distracting them because they don't yet have the cognitive awareness to distract themselves.

> For me personally, having kids has resolved the nature vs nurture debate squarely in the "nature" side.

Amen to that. I have 3 boys. We put in the same ingredients and got wildly different results with all three. I'm convinced that parenting is more about working with what comes factory installed than it is about moulding some ideal human from a formless block of potential.

Incentives and punishments that work with one don't work with the others; we have to really become students of our children to understand what they do and don't respond to, and to parent them accordingly. If my sample size of 3 is any indication, trying to fit children through a one-size-fits-all mold is going to fail miserably.
502 Bad Gateway seems to be the result of anything that isn't an image, for example https://thumber.io/get/100%25/http://google.com/ has the same result.

On the other hand, some other classes of invalid/unusual request (such as https://thumber.io/get/100%25/file:///etc/passwd) produce a 500 Internal Server Error instead.
I've had the same argument many times over error messages for login and forgot password flows. Being security conscious is a way of thinking that many people aren't really capable of and an even greater number have problem maintaining consistently. It's so ingrained in product managers to make their software as friendly as possible that they forget that sometimes their users don't have similarly noble intentions. This is also why social engineering is so successful. When it's your job to be helpful, it's very difficult to be strategically unhelpful when necessary.
They still get update requests (_something_ keeps telling me once a month that there's a new version out, even with telemetry off); that can be compared to the number of unique users with actual telemetry to find the number with it off.
This is exactly what I described. You make a gap buffer and move it into the original text. As typing happens, the size of the buffer is effectively decreased. You move the cursor/point, and need to move what is left of the gap. This is the same as rotating it.

To be clear, memcopy to move the buffer without using extra memory is the same as rotating.

If you don't believe me. Try it. Move some memory of arbitrary size using constant memory and see what algorithms you find. :)
That's funny. I had a problem with my ADSL connection that lasted for over a month. I spent two hours and forty minutes on the phone, spread over, IIRC, 15-20 calls, with the cycle going 1. "What's the problem", 2. "Blah (upstream network problem on their side)", 3. "Have you reset your modem?", 4. "Yes, and I've also done blah, blah, blah, and blah", 5. OK, can we call you back? 6. "Yes". 7. Go back to 1.

After three weeks of this my patience was running thin and, before reporting the company to the telecommunications regulator, I thought I would give them one last chance and (very politely) emailed the CEO. When I checked my phone half an hour latter I had three calls and two emails from the guy in charge of quality (this is, btw, one of the five biggest telecoms in the world). From this point, it took them three days to fix the problem (a network systems upgrade gone wrong, not trivial), and finally got an email from this quality guy on a Saturday at 19:30. The current CEO did say he was going to make customer support a priority, and it seems he took that to heart. Can't fault him (the quality guy appears to have taken a massive chewing, by the way).

I have to say, I did stay polite and sympathetic throughout. It is not the agents' fault that they have a shit CMS, and it's just not cool to be rude anyway.

Besides, I've got that customer support T-shirt, albeit on a very specialised industry, and I've learned that the customer is most definitely not King. We had a "difficult" user once, who kept wasting our time and being rude to the other guys (not me for some reason), and this ended with my boss calling the customer's boss and telling him he would cancel their licence if this guy calls again. The recalcitrant user got let go that same day.
Awesome app “Live Maps” shows you locations of trains in your city
Reading the article makes it clear what's going on here, although you have to get to the end. I had the same reaction to the idea of Tahoe and SF being considered part of the same "megaregion", since while someone may drive from Tahoe to SF on an irregular basis, the number of people doing it everyday must be miniscule. So I read deeper to try and understand the basis of these things.

TL;DR -- they arbitrarily chose 50 as the number of regions to consider. Everything above a certain threshold gets associated with some sort of region, and then they did basic clustering to see which commutes get assigned to which region. So in my Tahoe example, more people are commuting from the Tahoe area to Sacramento than to Reno, so Tahoe ends up associated with the entire SF Bay Area megaregion instead of with Reno, which it's geographically much closer to. If there had been more regions, Sacramento would have gotten its own region most likely.
I'd like to raise my hat to some absolutely fabulous documentation. That's one of the best READMEs I've seen in a very long time.
Yeah, the masthead is a video 43m long.
I think it's a little of both. The thing with kids, and dogs, is that the training has to start from day 1. You let a little bit of laziness in, and they take advantage. It compounds (kind of like eating that extra slice of pizza over a few years).

I have had both kids and dogs, and trained both in pretty much the same way (don't tell their mom).

But again, that is my sample size of me.
He was wrong about the exception though.
Ask HN: Email hosting with custom domain support?
Requirements:

1) custom domain support

2) wildcard support (i.e. emails sent to an invalid email address will get put into a specified inbox)

3) only 1 user inbox is required; more would be nice

4) support for anti-spam/email verification technologies (i.e. DKIM, SPF, etc.)

5) not self hosted

6) excellent uptime

Does not matter if it's paid, as long as the paid product is reasonably priced.

I'm currently using Zoho (free product) which, while meeting all the requirements defined above, isn't great. It's just not bad either. I'm looking to see what HN likes.

That's only true in journalism. Just because we link to news stories primarily doesn't mean this site has a journalistic flavor or should follow those conventions.
I'm not sure why you seem to think script development is entirely distinct from software development. Perhaps you have some insight into this that I don't, but while there are some obvious differences, I'm willing to bet that a good IDE that's general purpose enough to work for both a lisp and static language and support refactoring and syntax highlighting and interface with external programs like source control would support quite a bit of what's needed already.

As for implementation language, I'm not sure java is significantly slower in the case of the project size we are talking about here.
That's very kind of you to say, and after this project is finished, I might even get around to it. Procrastination willing, maybe even sooner.

The takeaway at the end of the day for me is that my idea of efficiency is built around conditional repeatability. However, the fundamental drive of art is to create a unique experience. For obvious reasons, these two goals run a bit counter to each other. There are absolutely repeatable elements, otherwise we wouldn't be able to relate to media (or each other, for that matter). But by the very nature of the requirement of uniqueness, there is no one size fits all. When the syntax is the program, it tends to exclude all but the most basic and robust standardization.

At least that's my drunk peanut gallery theory.

That sounds like a very healthy kind of mutual respect, even in the case of "disrespectful" names, though. It's not about the word in particular, it's about the communication of contempt behind it.

That's an avg of 10k a month, then add 6% on that if you're on flat rate vat scheme. Take off 20% if you don't have a ninja accountant and with the (now sadly, over) dividend rules and such you're still looking at a pretty healthy 8-9k take home a month..

Even in london where a 2 bed 30 mins from the center is about 2k/month that's not exactly hard living is it?

You think parenting is a solved problem?
Exactly. I've had this happen with Dell. Twice, same computer. They ask for the defective drives back, which is fair. I informed them that as they contained company confidential information they would be put beyond use and they were fine with that--though I'm not 100% sure the phone drone understood the implications.

Cue a pneumatic drill and a circular saw. Modern drives are surprisingly hard to drill, btw, what with being so dense.

After the second replacement failed too after a couple of weeks, I just went and bought a disc from the local shop down the road. It's probably still going, twelve years latter. We never bought Dell again.

I can only repeat what abecedarius said: it's nothing like a rotation because you don't care about the bytes in the gap.

It's a pretty tortured way to think about it; after googling I finally figured out what you meant. Sounds like the kind of algorithm I would never, ever ask about in a programming interview!
I'm not a biologist nor vet, so not my area of expertise, but there are a lot of jokes about dogs being colorblind (tv series, movies, etc) and in the end it happens that they do have some limited color vision. Sorry I can't give any reference.

Tech Talk with Elio – Tonight's Topic: Automation Pros and Cons
My wife and I got a 5 month old border collie about 3 months ago. The approach that ended up working for us was to use positive reinforcement for almost all the things we wanted trained, and then only use negative reinforcement for one or two things we really didn't want him to do.

We chose to punish (spank/"bad dog"/shake an empty soda can with pennies inside it) for only two things: pottying in the house, and chasing/herding the cats.

We think they were good choices for the negative reinforcement because they were things we really wanted to stop ASAP, and they happened relatively infrequently, so it's not like he was being constantly punished.

At 8 months old, he's now an ideal citizen of our house.

I do think the breed had a lot to do with the success of this technique, though. Border Collies are smart (I'm told they have the intelligence of a 4 y/o?), so I think him being able to quickly learn things, and him being able to connect things beyond just one step was important.

By "connecting things beyond one step", I mean, I suspect with a less-intelligent dog you might have the problem of like, if they potty outside and then you wait to give them a treat until you're inside (because the dog is distracted by them if you have them outside) they might not get that the treat is for pottying.

>A cynic might suggest this 'panic' over the working class losing their jobs has a lot more to do with the middle classes losing theirs.

There's much to be said for this point of view. Certainly since the 90's in the US most of the manufacturing jobs have gone to Mexico or overseas. Those that remain tend to be higher skilled jobs. It didn't seem to be an issue worthy of much official news promulgation until the Midwest became important as a vote bank...

I have been interested in magic for a long time, and have subscriptions or accounts at most major magic retailers in the world. I am not the best at performing magic tricks (mainly because I don't have that story telling personality that is needed to execute most tricks), but I love learning them and practicing them in my spare time.

No need to go to the dark net though - 99% of magic tricks are now readily exposed on Youtube public channels, and I am not just talking about the original instructions videos being leaked on there. A myriad of kids stand ready to either perform tricks so badly that they give away the techniques, or else outright show how things are done.

Still though, it is like seeing how a commercial airliner is flown. Watching hundreds of hours of video footage is no substitute for formal training and real like practice.

Also, one of the biggest draws of magic to me is hearing of the origins of most tricks, and researching guys who came up with these things over a hundred years ago.
That's because workers in tech make more than workers in most occupations.

When you hire an intern, you pay them almost-entry-level rates because they are doing almost-entry-level work.

Interns are not slaves to be under-paid, and tech is a high paid industry. I'm not sure what's surprising about this.
In terms of ease of setup, I don't think any of these can beat Eero. And in spite of Netgear marketing dollars behind, Orbi, I hope EERO maintains the lead in this space, as they were the first one to push for mesh networking in consumer Wifi space.
Maybe someone can educate me. I've studied them for a while, but I don't get the fascination with lock- or wait-free queues.

If you actually care about real-time guarantees enough to look into lock-free solutions, you already ought to have non-preemptive workers (i.e. cooperative multitasking). This then allows you to have only one queue per CPU (since exclusive access is guaranteed), simplifying the problem.

With one queue per CPU, multi-producer becomes trivial (atomic doorbell + round robin), and multi-consumer is easy (CAS to acquire a work item). You don't have fairness guarantees for consumers, but who cares, only when they are not saturated can they not be fair and then that's a good thing.

Application stalls don't happen (one non-preemptible queue per CPU), application crashes are managed at a higher level, and IRQs can be disabled for the 5 cycles you spend in the critical sections.

I assume I'm missing something, since I'm somewhat new at this, and lock-freedom is clearly in vogue, but I don't know what it is.
