It generally does. (GCC, Clang and ICC) But it cannot simplify the operation on some architectures or when the factor is variable.

The "fastrange" is a very different operation on prime factors than modulo.

You've unleashed a flood of horrible memories of reading XLS and XLSX files with dates in. Thanks a bunch.

You'd think when Microsoft came up with their new shiny file formats they'd actually make them new and shiny and good.

But nope.
it's the "a bit more involved" that makes it very weak in comparison. The power of the dot command is exactly that it takes one single keystroke to repeat the last action. You don't have to think in advance "I may want to repeat this action, let's add some keystrokes to store this in a macro." You don't have to push a few keys to repeat the action, just one single key.
Kind of cool to own a piece of history though.

I wouldn't say that its an unreasonable theory. There's also the tendency for those working in media to be of the left. My main point though is that any perceived bias comes from the individuals that happen to be working on that production. The organisation itself is non-bias and has many measures to avoid bias.

Is that surprising? I never assumed that Google was planning to build actual cars with this tech. I suppose I never really thought that deeply about how it would roll out, but if I had, I would have guessed partnerships with others in the industry.

If they can nail "self-driving tech" as well as they've nailed search, they'll potentially earn licensing fees from all vehicles, rather than from the slice of vehicles they'd manufacture themselves (with a long, expensive learning curve ahead of producing quality vehicles).
France launches first cyber-warfare unit to take on hackers
Well my current solution works fine. I have an AC87 in each closet. The one with the gear runs in "wireless bridge" mode. I'm attracted to the prosumer Unifi stuff but there doesn't seem to be a simple solution to bridging. The airFiber units in our hallway is a little too much. And there's no easy way to run cat5.
But they are working with other car makers.

Regardless, Google kick-started a lot of other car makers to start developing self-driving cars or made it OK for other car makers to be more public about their efforts.

Similarly to Tesla in pushing EV's in other car makers.

Ask HN: Does Scrum add value?
In several companies now, I found myself sitting in boring meetings for hours every 1-2 weeks, doing some kind of retrospective that nobody really participated in and some wild guessing aka "planning". The sprints never really finish (for valid reasons though) and I'm feeling that this process is just done because people heard that this is how it's done nowadays and management is extracting some super-nonsense bogus-numbers of "team velocity" and the like out of that. I think it would save a lot of time and increase actual productivity if the PM just asks an engineer "when can we roughly ship this feature?" every now and then.
What is your Scrum experience? Does it actually add value?
Great work, and nice complement of radiooooo.com

While I agree that some of the blame falls on the PIs, it should fall on the university system as well. My PI recently read his mid-tenure review to our group, noting that there are explicit publishing metrics evaluated by the department which play a major role in his performance review. Things like ranking of journals published in (ref. Reuters InCites), # citations etc. I understand a department's desire for a quantitative evaluation metric, but at the same time as long as this mechanism is in place the system will not change.

Hardly: CETA doesn't affect immigration and is pretty similar to the sort of trade deal the UK might want. The "single market" isn't as impressive as people like to make out. It's primarily oriented towards trade in goods i.e. what Germany wants and progress on trade in services i.e. what the UK wants has been very slow and sometimes goes backwards. The EU has made selling software or any digital items over the internet to EU member countries vastly harder than it used to be: it's actually easier to sell into the EU over the internet from outside it, which is madness.

I always look for people that are clearly very technical but who I feel I want to work with. There are some amazing developers that have zero people skills and for whom the word pragmatic doesn't exist. If you can explain complex technology in a way my CFO can understand you will also build a product for that level of user as well.

If you have that, breadth in projects and technology and you are genuinely excited by the opportunity I have on offer then I have found that a good mix.
FastMail in Melbourne is going to be hiring for skills in three languages: middleware (Perl), frontend (Javascript) and support (English) early next year.

It's not so much specific tech skills as attitude. We're strong on pragmatism with a touch of pride in doing it right. Pragmatism without that pride in quality leads to hacks that are unmaintainable - obsession over perfect without pragmatism leads to never delivering.
It appears that most of these agencies were involved in a role closer to that of a witness than an investigator. These are government agencies that provide healthcare benefits, so they were paying for the prescriptions and therefore victims of this fraudulent scheme.

A new number doesn't necessarily prevent charges from vendors who had the old one. For your convenience the banks actually allow new charges on the old cards after they are cancelled. I assume they whitelist vendors that have good reputations or filter based on patterns of charges against your account which you have not disputed.

Verizon was able to charge against my old account for over a year. I kept getting snail mail letters from my bank telling me that the card I was using had been cancelled and that I needed to update it, but I kind of just wanted to see how long they would let it go.

In other cases, the bank will actually update the vendor with your new card number so that subscriptions are not interrupted.
I think the insane part of Google's original plan was the "no steering wheel" part, not the fact that they wanted to manufacture the cars themselves. There are so many corner cases. I can't imagine that they would get the tech working 100% out of the gate without needing some sort of manual override.

SPARQL, the W3C standard real Graph QL, where most implementations accept queries direct over http. Have implementations that do role based security depending on the connection. Commercial implementations such as StarDog or Oracle Semantic Network among many others, will allow you to limit certain subsets of your data in many ways, and connect to many other datasources via different translators/mappers.

For the JSON developer though you would need to combine it with a nice JSON-LD formater which is not yet common among implementations.
That's a little overstated. If you go by national exit polls, both Stein voters and Johnson voters "would have voted" for Clinton over Trump (in a two-person election) about 25-15. The rest wouldn't have.

If that margin is applied to each state (which isn't quite right but whatever), that's roughly enough to flip Michigan but probably not any other states.

So, true that you can't pin the blame on Stein, but she did have an effect, partly measured by the vote, and partly unmeasurable in terms of enthusiasm dampening, etc.

Same sort of thing with Nader - you can't quite draw a mathematical line that he flipped Florida, but all his Gush/Bore stuff - who knows what affect that had in terms of people not voting.
A quick search of the Github issues seems to indicate that PostGraphQL does suffer from the N+1 query problem at least to some extent (https://github.com/calebmer/postgraphql/issues/219).

Which probably doesn't matter as long as you only have a few nested children, but might seriously kill performance for some cases. I always find it disappointing when that much of the power of a database like Postgres is thrown away by an abstraction. I find the general approach of PostGraphQL (and Postgrest, which is a similar project for a Postgres REST API) very interesting, it would be nice if it also generated reasonable queries for this kind of data.

It's an interesting point you make, that other editors also turn out to have some form of composability. However, the fact that this is the first time I've heard somebody talking about this might have some underlying meaning.
Maybe vim is the only editor where people actually use the composability, because it's only in vim that it's actually usable :-)

In vim, the most common way to delete a word is also the composable way, and also the shortest (just two keys). In emacs, most people probably learn the shortcuts first, so they don't have the muscle memory for the composable style. The composable style is also two modifier keys longer.
So in emacs, first you learn it the "regular" way, with all the shortcuts, and then when you want to learn composability, you have to relearn all sorts of basic things, and spend more keystrokes, to have that.
In vim, you've learned some basic commands (dw, c$, yia, ...), and then I tell you about composability, and you understand how you can combine all those commands and movements you already know :-)
>Living in a household with all kinds of Apple devices this is just not how this is going to work out long term. Family members borrow cables, you use one to connect something else while leaving the charger in another room, then you put it back but you mix up all these same looking white cables, and next thing you know your computer isn't charging properly anymore.

Then maybe one could just use the higher ranked cables for everything in the family?

>Sorry, this is not acceptable.

Sounds totally acceptable, and relatively minor. It might be because I'm foreign, but a phrase like "not acceptable" sounds more fit for another country wanting to invade yours, or at least a guest making a pass at your spouse, not whether one can easily re-use cables between devices.

Even if we constrain it to computers, Apple did have its share of "not acceptable" issues (e.g. green cooling goo leaking out of old Mac Pros, display glitches, etc). Those were indeed not acceptable as they actually and actively prevented working with the computer. I don't see mixed cables with other devices as a reason not to accept (which to me would mean "return") a laptop.

I'm wondering what this pivot will do the morale in the Chauffeur team. There has been so much turbulence in the team with several key members leaving to form their own company because they were so frustrated with the pace. I can't imagine partnering with a traditional automaker will increase the pace.
This. The point is to sell a few hundred million licenses for the software, as software companies like to do.

Car companies likely don't want to further increase already large R&D budgets to build their own self-driving tech, so the "synergies" of doing this are excellent.

with that said, bluetooth beacons, along with 3 bluetooth receivers for triangulation, could be used for inexpensive player tracking, but the data would be noisy and not as accurate (probably ~1 ft resolution or so). i've actually been wanting to put such a system together to determine how good it might be.

Exactly! This part of Google's legacy is severely under appreciated. People were rolling their eyes when Google originally presented their plan. Amazing how quickly it went from science fiction to reality.

I have to ask: were 160, then 120 people really necessary?

Judging by their Kickstarters' successes, Pebble had made "something people want", and they had made it repeatedly. Couldn't they have waited out the bad times with a lighter team, while tweaking the products and remaining profitable or at least just above zero?

120 people sounds enormous to me -- esp. given that all manufacturing was outsourced...?

Extremely true. I am always laughing when people ask for specific javascript framework (especially for frontend), and don't agree if you don't know the specific language (let's say Clojure), but know JVM – even with experience with another dialect of LISP (or another functional language)!

Are n-dimensional spectrum positions really the right way to model voting? I'm not sure 2016's voter behavior can even be modeled dimensionally.

That works for automated systems, where you get an automated response. But hiring managers are busy, have multiple processes with HR, and with the rise of job sites end up getting hundreds of resumes, most of which are completely irrelevant, since it's so easy to blast our resume across the Internet.
Just like it's always been with chargers - it still does "just work" but the correctly powered charger will charge much faster, no different to previous MacBooks, iPhones or iPads.
> I can't imagine partnering with a traditional automaker will increase the pace.

Right? I was thinking exactly the same. One would think that having a car built in-house enabled them to iterate that much quicker.
Then again, Google is full of smart people, so there surely is a reason behind this decision.
I know that most people who've had their fair share of problems with technology understand the author and identify with him immediately when he says: "No, no, a hundred times no to both - if I buy a product then I expect it to work as advertised and not need to implement hacks to keep it alive.".

The thing with technology, and especially smartphones and computers, is that there seems to be a trend going that devices dictate your behaviour, and not the other way around. For example, windows 10 makes it extremely hard to change files in some locations, won't let the user decide when to reboot and install updates, and regularly bothers the user with useless messages: 'a virus scan (hm, I don't remember starting one?) has completed without detecting any threats.'.

A lot of people have better things to do with their time. Likewise, when want to program stuff it happens that I spent more time on my tools than on coding (visual studio crashes, or won't let me start my program because there is a zombie process, or I messed up my github repository somehow).

People want to manage their own time and are willing to pay for that (especially wealthy peoplee). This is why people buy overpriced stuff (like Apple!). It is true for most hobbies that you can do them cheaply and with a lot of effort, but everyone who is involved in a more serious way usually says: 'spend some more and you'll have a much better time'.
