I'm in agreeance with your suggestions, but note that Indonesia has large protests over small increases in meat costs. There's a political reality to dramatically raising food prices in a democracy.
Indeed, it was most certainly the only group that arrived by foot and a ice bridge :)
Assuming I don't have access to CPU specs, how could I debug constructs like this queue? Should I set aside a machine and have it pound the queue with random data for the next six months, alerting me each time the error rate rises above cosmic ray threshold?
this is less about "skill" but about the awareness how the different CPUs are implemented and where the algorithm is not behaving correctly in conjunction with the CPU spec.

In addition the error class is a mean one: doesn't happen often statistically and difficult to reproduce and as such can be very expensive to track down.
Blobs, not blogs. Darn autocorrect.
Yes, yes, some sort of cross between a city and a state. A "city-state," if you will. How come nobody ever thought of this?
I find the stats looks rather skewed? anyone else thinks so too ?

We need a way for nations & policy makers to learn from each other. Or at least from each others mistakes!
It's an interesting "interpretation" of the short story, but it trades a lot of the beautiful ideas for a more generic alien contact story, though the core plot remains the same.

I said it in another comment, but I seemed to enjoy the movie less because I had read the short story.
Proteins don't usually "learn" how to fold from other proteins, their structure is usually determined by their amino acid sequence. In vivo there are chaperone proteins that help proteins fold into their natural structures by preventing premature aggregate folds, but still their final fold is a result of their amino acid sequence. Less commonly, there are some rare chaperones that cause specific folding that wouldn't otherwise occur, but these are the exception and not the rule. However you are right that prions are an exception here, prions are uniquely misfolded proteins that are amyloid-prone and cause their otherwise normal folded structure to refold into another prion form, leading to a chain reaction of refolding into the prion form for that particular protein. As far as I know there is still a lot of research to be done in order to verify the theories regarding prions.

It doesn't make sense to say newly synthesised proteins arises mostly from amino acid metabolism, metabolism involves both catabolism (breakdown) and anabolism (synthesis). Amino acid degradation results in glucose via gluconeogenesis or cellular energy (ATP), whereas amino acid synthesis is of course what is used for proteins, as proteins are made of amino acids. So yeah, doesn't really make sense. Perhaps you meant to say that newly synthesised protein uses amino acids of which are most often sourced from proteolysis?

As for red blood cells, they don't have any mitochondria, so they only metabolise glucose and other sugars (and anaerobically at that, due to their function of carrying oxygen). They certainly don't metabolise amino acids or proteins, so I'm not sure where you got that idea from.

I hope that helps.
It is exactly like a rotation. Think of it this way. You have a file. Contents "this is the start". You copy it to memory. (Or map it. Doesn't matter.)

Now the cursor just after the word "the". How do you get the gap you did there? You likely started with: "this is the startGAP". You want "this is theGAP start". Look at only " startGAP" and see that getting "GAP start" is just a rotation.

Could you see this another way? Almost certainly. However, as a mutable algorithm, probably tough to beat using this way.

Finally.... Where did I say this was an interview question? Might be a fun discussion. Terrible fact based question.
If you 1) don't have ethernet throughout the house, 2) don't have satellite internet, and 3) can spend a little more, I recommend a pair or more of MoCA adapters as backhaul for the APs. You'll likely get better performance than mesh networking.

How do you think they are used? Is there some statistics about it?

I'm a dabbler and I came across a very cool project that seemed a bit out of my league at the moment - but perhaps you and others on this thread will get a kick out of:

https://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-ll-003-build-a-small-radar...

Basically, making your own radar system with Coffee cans. As a newbie, I'm a bit surprised by all the modular components that were just fitted together. I knew about Amps and attenuators but didn't know you could get VCOs and mixers like that too. Any books/website recommendations/beginner projects would be appreciated!
And interns in Canada. On my second internship, I got paid more per month than my mother who works in the public sector!
The Pirates using FLTSATCOM aren't Brazilian criminal gangs, they are truckers, families, and others who have used rudimentary technology to keep in touch with one another. Think CB radio from the 70's and 80's in the United States.

Geez, complain much? It's a miracle it works at all.
Yup, agreed with this.

Call me a privileged asshole or whatever since I work in tech and I get paid well, but isn't that how supply and demand works? Once upon a time, you could get a really well-paying factory job or a well-paying job working in the coal mines since those jobs were in demand.

I feel like that's how it's kind of working in software. Factory jobs are going away because robotics are taking over, which creates a demand for engineers to maintain these robots. We're kind of going through a second industrial revolution, except it's a digital and robotics revolution. Unfortunately, that means we're also feeling the crunch of that which means there's a big demand for engineers that our workforce doesn't supply for... yet. So yes, tech interns are going to get paid more than most other places.

Not necessarily. Implicit bias is always a risk for these kinds of review sites.

For example, if vendors know that the site is reviewing their products, they can provide support or a higher level of service to the review and influence the rating.

Magazines like Consumer Reports go to great lengths to bake bias out of reviews, and avoid this sort of risk. But their process has its own problems, as it requires that the reviewers really deeply understand the product, or biases ratings towards customer satisfaction.

My own car (my trusty Honda Pilot with 300k miles) is an example. It featured a poorly handled transmission defect and recall, yet CR scored a very high expected reliability rating, due to historical owner satisfaction.

Caveat emptor applies as always but I agree with you the Wirecutter is a generally good review site.

Note that with Lambda a cold start doesn't have to happen every time - if the function is executed frequently enough, the application will be kept around on the executing node.

Also, if your application has fairly stable load, then startup times are irrelevant 99% of the time, since you can just run persistent servers.
Professor Watchlist Is Seen as Threat to Academic Freedom
This is actually a really good idea, but it will require industry to step in and provide it. The number of films and shows that get it right are almost nil, but there aren't any consequences when they screw it up. The phone companies stepped in with 555 numbers when they got complaints from customers about people dialing numbers that appeared in films. But with no consequence for showing crappy or nonsensical code, either the writers/video playback guys are going to have to get better (this will happen with increased technical literacy over time, but will be pushed by increased audience technical literacy), or (the software) industry is going to have to step in with its own solutions.

If you want to make it happen right away, make a royalty free stock footage archive in 4k of various snippets of code with metadata on what it's for. Less work=more adoption.
We have both a nanny and housekeeper (not live-in, part-time), and I would never think to construct this ludicrous advice.

It's hard enough even with that help. Kids have their own minds and personalities and methods of coping with a vast world they just don't understand and can be overwhelming. One-size-fits-all suggestions such as "never punish" just trivialize how complicated little human beings really are.
The specs are quite clear about memory fences. Just because something has a failure mode that's hard to detect doesn't mean that luck has anything to do with implementing it correctly. And if luck isn't a factor, then that leaves skill and dedication.
From what I've seen, if the adults don't keep score, the kids will do it themselves.
A #NoDAPL battle won; the war rages on
Thinking in Parallel
There's a practical and ethical difference between implicit bias and pay for review.

The review for a particular product isn't an example of pay for play because the Wirecutter gets paid for anything they review that is sold on Amazon. The bias is the push towards Amazon vs Newegg or Walmart and assessments if price based on ephemeral Amazon pricing vs MSRP.

The Amazon crackdown as I understand is about corrupt vendors incentivizing good reviews for shit product.
I had to open in incognito tab.
I have the UAP-AC-PRO and an Edge Router Lite and couldn't be happier. I tried way more expensive consumer routers (Nighthawk), using a pair of TP-Link Archer C7s (with one in AP mode), extenders, freaking everything. They all had problems that were incredibly painful.

The AC-PRO covers my entire house (2 story, 2500+ sqft new construction) and garage with no latency issues or dead spots. There's no handoff issues like having multiple APs/extenders, there's a faster throughput than I was getting with the Nighthawk, and the PoE made it a breeze to install centrally in the house.

I'm only upset that I waited so long to just give up on the purely 'consumer grade' crap.

> But the most stunning—and creepiest—software developed in Russia is something called FindFace. It’s an app that lets you take a picture of a stranger and then almost instantly, using a facial-recognition algorithm, find the person on a social network. If you’re hoping the software doesn’t work that well, you’ll be disappointed: When I tested the app, it found the right faces all the freaking time. Privacy is so 2015.

In fictional dialogue the quotes are there to show what a character said, not what they didn't say—that would be confusing! As it is here.
Of course Story of Your Life is not an alien contact story. I think what gwern is saying is not that the film turned an alien contact story to a time travel story, but the film turned a story with no time travel to a story with time travel.

Story is very careful that it is just a very different (alien) perspective of mundane (no time travel) happenings. I haven't seen the film yet, but by all accounts it includes events requiring time travel (or retrocausation), which is definitely not the case in the story.
Yup... I'm in the wrong company.

The expected value of both strategies is to have 1 success, but they have different variance. The first strategy has variance of 0.99, and the second strategy has variance 0. The chance of n out of 100 hits with the first strategy is: binomial(100,n) x 0.01^n x 0.99^(100-n)

Yes, I realize it's confusing sometimes, especially to new users, who deserve better from HN.

But the minimalism and informality of this site is valuable too, no one's ever had 'mod' next to their name here, and it feels like it would break the spell or something.

In principle, it seems like this could be mitigated by some changes to the language. Has anyone tried this? E.g.:

Strings have a dirty flag. Literal strings are initially clean, CGI variables are dirty, argv and file/socket input might be configurable.

Function parameters can be declared evaluated. Passing a dirty string as an evaluated argument fails with extreme prejudice. The database primitives enforce this. Maybe sockets have an evaluated flag too, and only clean strings can be written to an evaluated socket.

The string primitives propagate dirty flags: clean and dirty concatenate to dirty, and so on.

There is an obfuscated way for pdo->prepare to make dirty strings clean, and a special circle of hell for anyone who mentions that in user documentation.
I know that the response I'm about to give makes a statement that is not falsifiable and very much has the form of "I can cart this out and think I'm right no matter WHAT you respond," but I still feel compelled to say...

...the point I'm making is absolutely not that building an OS is equally hard in all languages, and equally likely to be buggy. My point is that creating a general purpose OS that only gets its rigorous testing from getting put into production before the majority of its target hardware has even yet been developed... that's going to be buggy in all languages.

Designing and running an OS on a known system with a few applications in mind can't really refute what I'm saying. I mean, I could of course be wrong. But I can't imagine a convincing counter-example that doesn't have for its evidence "largescale adoption on disparate systems."

(there could be an in-principle reason that I'm wrong that I just don't understand, but this is the risk we take in having opinions)
This project appears to be built atop PouchDB fwiw!
So, I got a couple TP-Link devices a few months ago to try to extend internet to my garage (very old construction, separate building on the property) as wifi was having a tough time reaching there and I didn't want to mess with replacing the whole rest of the network and running some sort of mesh setup.

I currently am using a cheap docsis 3 modem (I believe it's a netgear), and an apple airport extreme for the main network, which is extended to the garage through a couple TP Link powerline networking adapters.

I haven't benchmarked the specific powerline performance, but I do know that if I hit up fast.com on my house wifi from my laptop, I get about 100-120 Mbps depending on the day and network conditions. (there's a lot of weird stuff with diff devices and diff routers that I'm eliding here but the Airport Extreme performs very well in my house compared to everything else I've tried)

in the garage, on ethernet to the TP Link powerline adapters, i get about 20 Mbps most of the time. It is pretty reliable, but it's a huge performance hit. Granted, I am using them in an extremely adverse arrangement: old wiring, running through lots of intervening hardware, through the ground, to my garage.

I'm actually happy with them, for my purposes, but they're really not fast.

I think some breeds are just kind of fundamentally flawed.

Were chihuahuas bred to be obedient or were they bred to be toys and possibly food?
I agree completely. I went all in and I have 7x UniFi ap AC in my house (2 per floor over 3 floors and one in the guest house). They are all powered by the switch (power over Ethernet) making it super clean.

The software is fine by the big advantage is that it has meraki reliability without the licensing.
I've recently made a similar switch to a few of my 'core' services. Aside from a strong privacy bent, one of my core requirements has been to lessen my dependency on US based companies and infrastructure.

Ask HN: Which companies work on critical life saving Medical devices?
By critical medical devices, I mean devices such as ECMO (Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation) or Pace maker or other such life saving devices. I feel it would be really worth working at such companies and make a difference (Software side).
I have the UniFi system. 3 story house. One AP each level centered. One AP in the external office (building attached to external garage). I use one UniFi PoE switch in the house and one in the office (2xCat6A between them). FreeNAS mini attached via 2x1G (4x4TB disc, 2x128G SSD as L2ARC & ZIL). UniFi CloudKey and UniFi Security Gateway. I am an engineer ;)

Also important to realize that no intern actually gets the full yearly salary -- these internships usually last around 3 months.

Not a huge fan of this site, presenting data without context seems like a great way to stir up trouble without doing any actual reporting.
Sample size for interns\graduate hires was 352 (57 female, 278 male). Which I don't suspect is a large enough sample.
I have moved over all of my clients who use transactional email over to SES from Sendgrid and honestly they couldn't be happier.

I've had several big name tech internships, and I got an internship offer from a bank to do tech work. The bank offered around 2/3rd the comp with significantly worse benefits, which surprised me considering that a) they were in NYC b) they were a big name and c) they approached me, not the other way around. Not sure if they pay the trader type interns more...
Wow, it's almost like supply and demand have an effect on wages.
I deploy a lot of Unifi APs and run them off a controller hosted in AWS which I fire up when I need to monitor or deploy.

Be aware with Unifi gear there is no onboard configuration or UI beyond busybox shell via SSH and a basic command line tool. They are intended to be deployed using the Unifi controller which once setup can be shut down, but will be required again to change passwords, etc.

Unifi is definitely at the top of my list for multiple AP deployments, I still prefer MikroTik for edge devices though.
‘We’re teaching university students lies’ – An interview with Dr Jordan Peterson
Actually you're making me think that I picked a bad example to plant a flag on. The general point, about not using quotation marks as a rhetorical device or snark weapon, is a good one: it really does subtly degrade online discourse. But the example doesn't show that as clearly as it might, and the commenter was being a good sport and didn't do anything wrong. Sorry!
Dancing on chairs is fun and all, but I'd love to see the video of this interview..
I agree. Interns also generally receive no extended benefits like 401(k), stock, medical, and so on, so the comparison isn't very fair in terms of total comp.

The other thing that’s built into this law (Bill C-16 see https://openparliament.ca/bills/42-1/C-16/ ) and the surrounding policies is that they’ve changed two legal principles. It’s not ‘innocent before being proven guilty,’ it’s ‘preponderance of evidence,’ and it’s not intent, it’s outcome. Those transformations are so far reaching, it’s almost unimaginable.
