That's a really interesting point. I wonder if it'd be practical to address the handoff problem with rolling start times. So if average ER patient takes 3 hours to treat from start to finish, for an 8 hour shift, you stop taking new patients at the 5 or 6 hour mark. That being said, if an ER doc is in the "graceful shutdown" part of their shift, and a spike in patients rolls in the door, it'd be hard to say no to helping out.
This is interesting; why dev tools are not seen in these FOSS offerings?

There is absolutely no criminal or civil statute nor legal principle in any American or European jurisdiction that binds users to respond to advertising in an accurate or forthright way.

To have such a law on the books would be utterly ridiculous: how could you ever prove in court that I did or didn't properly reflect my forthright intentions when I clicked on a "one weird trick" advertisement? And under what possible principle could I have implicitly contracted to give you an honest assessment of my interest in your advertisement?

Your proposition is perhaps one of the most insane ones I've ever heard argued about advertising, because it claims that you not only have a contractual right to knowledge of my consumerist tendencies, but -- amazingly -- that you believe that contract is with society writ large (i.e. where breach is a criminal fraud) rather than with you (i.e. civil breach) as a service provider.

Facebook is massive, at nearly 2 billion users they hold a monopoly that covers most of the connected world, and it's only going to continue to grow. They are not going away.

Twitter on the other hand, it's not that they have failed, but probably that they were aiming a bit too high. Investors were likely expecting another Facebook, but Twitter is never going to become that, because it's not perceived as a fundamental part of people's digital lives. Everyone has a Facebook account, but only some use Twitter.

The main complaint listed by Vice in the article was that the comments section inevitably led to low quality debate, and commenters frequently had to be banned for posting racist, sexist comments, and/or releasing private information about Vice's writers or other people in the comment section. Those seem like perfectly valid reasons to shut it down, and seem orthogonal to "conservatives started winning," however you want to define that.

I don't know which Firefox you're using, but I want it. Mine is super laggy all the time, even with one or two tabs open. Opening a new tab takes half a second, visiting a new page takes half a second, going back takes half a second. It's extremely frustrating to use, and I don't even have that many extensions or history pages.
I feel that Apple made a mistake with the MBP. For instance, why aren't MacBooks 11" and 13", and the Pros should have been 14" and 16". At least with that, there would be a feeling of differentiation (assuming everything else stayed as delivered this fall).

It seems as though Apple fell down where they are historically the strongest - managing perception. And that has me frustrated because I'm wondering what's next to fall (like many others on HN).

For what? Firefox DevTools? I use Firefox, spent several years as a Web dev, and use FireBug pretty much every day, so I think I'm part of the core demographic. That's unrelated to my use of other browsers though: right tool for the right job, and all that.

The parent just-so-happened to make a tangential comment about "all browsers" bundling dev tools, which I found quite short-sighted. If you're QA testing a commericial Web site then by all means use "all browsers" as a shorthand for "the popular browsers". But if you're commenting on the general development of browsers and their features, such statements need to be qualified. After all, there are some good sibling comments discussing WorldWideWeb, Netscape, etc. Should they be dismissed as "edge cases"?

Maybe instead of listing the software I actually use, I could have taken a guess at how many mobile browsers lack dev tools; I imagine there are many users of such browsers, which is far from an "edge case", although I avoided making such conjectures since I've never browsed the Web on a mobile phone.
This post reads like an advert. We're still a loooong way out from self-driving cars making it to consumers. I'd even say it's over a decade. There is a ton of regulation that needs to be worked out.

It's interesting how tabs have supplanted bookmarks for a lot of people. Neither one is a particularly good UI, mind you, but tabs are a little bit better than bookmarks.

They are excellent questions and that indeed is exactly the goal of this course. I hope you try it out and let us know if you find the answers you need.

For this particular question, a model that does localization and then integrated classification is called an "attentional model". It's an area of much active research. If your images aren't too big, or the thing you're looking for isn't too small in the image, you probably won't need to worry about it.

And if you do need to worry about it, then it can be done very easily - lesson 7 shows two methods to do localization, and you can just do a 2nd pass on the cropped images manually. For a great step by step explanation, see the winners of the Kaggle Right Whale competition: http://blog.kaggle.com/2016/01/29/noaa-right-whale-recogniti...

(There are more sophisticated integrated techniques, such as the one used by Google for viewing street view house numbers. But you should only consider that if you've tried the simple approaches and found they don't work.)
Incredibly easy at the assembler level, harder if you want the compiler to understand/schedule it for you.
Most doctors will prescribe a short duration of a longer-lasting SSRI (like Prozac) which will help with withdrawal. Any competent doctor will tell you not to discontinue abruptly or withdrawal symptoms are likely. Unfortunately, too many GPs that don't understand the drugs prescribe them rather than psychiatrists.
I really love traits in Rust. It's in my opinion the best way to implement interfaces. I'm really thinking about writing a toy language that looks like Rust 99% but without the borrow checker. The ownership thing annoys me. I know it helps creating secure programs but I'd be fine with a language that has Rust syntax/generics/traits/pattern matching with garbage collection. My goal isn't to create a C replacement, but a better Go. Go gets concurrency and syntax right but its type system is shitty. Go is a missed opportunity.
There is no problem to handle large heaps.

There is simply a gap: A 30 GB heap (with 4 bytes pointers) may be similar in capacity to a 40 GB heap (with 8 bytes pointers).

Guides and documentation (elastisearch) are simplifying this as "java can't do more than 30 GB heap", which is factually incorrect. You can do a 60GB if you want.
Whatever works. If advertisers and their apologists express pain at a given action, it's probably an action worth trying. (source: the comments on this page.)
Sorry, wasn't clear. This conclusion isn't limited to funding.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the high performing schools are high performing because they have a high tax base, that's just a correlation.

Quality teachers may not be attracted to inner-city schools because of unstated biases, or because they prefer to live in other areas and have short commutes.

Or maybe you have a safety issue due to a school's location or an aging building and high rents that diverts resources towards countermeasures or repairs.

For whatever reason though, busing led to miraculously improved outcomes. Then we stopped doing it for some reason. Now, instead, we make some kids stay in schools where they have six hours of recess or lunch or study hall, then one session with a permanent math substitute with no lesson plans.

So yeah, funding isn't everything--but some schools can't even afford teachers for every hour of the day, or roofs that aren't collapsing. If there is a minimum threshold not being met, funding's probably part of it. The better solution is to just not bar kids who want to learn from functioning schools.
Have her ask her doctor for a prescription to Prozac. It lasts longer in the system than Venlafaxine so it eases the withdrawal.
>> because of the cost to the advertisers

Odds are that this addon doesn't actually trick the major advertisers whatsoever.

1. Any user/session that is seen clicking many ads across many different domains will quickly have their entire history ignored. You can bet that if your browser is seen clicking 1,000 ads across 10 domains in one day, that your assault will be completely ignored and have exactly zero effect against the network or its advertisers.

2. If the addon manually triggers click events on hidden elements, then the ad network likely has javascript detecting these clicks as invalid and ignoring those impressions. a) Any element that is not visible on screen has events ignored - it will check for display:none, visibility:hidden, as well as common off-viewport positioning, transparency tricks, etc. b) When you manually trigger a browser event on an element, no event object is passed to the event handler, meaning those events are easy to detect and dismiss.

Networks aren't guaranteed to implement #2, and any implementation may not be very sophisticated, but I'd bet a good penny that there is at least a basic client-side line of defense. If you manage to outsmart the client-side implementation, you're still very unlikely to outsmart the server-side analytics, where people who live and breathe this industry have spent over a decade writing software to analyze every ad click, specifically to not be fooled by such a naive attempt to hurt their business.
I had similar thoughts, except with 4s.

For the first 4 hours they take patients (and shadow some of the persisting cases from other doctors).

For the next 4 hours, they're purely cleanup/handoff... EXCEPT in the case that a major crisis happens. Things extend 4 hours at a time in that case.

This would, however, mean staggering the doctors in 6 different shifts that could each handle the ingress load for their ramp up period.

Naturally doctors that are 'morning' or 'evening' people should be binned in to shifts compatible with their biological schedules.
Actually some adblockers were found to increase CPU and memory usage significantly.

Usability expert Jakob Nielsen wrote a solid proposal for micropayments back in 2001. I don't think anyone has ever seriously tried to implement his idea, so until someone does try we won't know if it could work well.

I really doubt you and you dont provide any details about your setup either. I have exactly the same issues as the poster. I have about 20 tabs and it is costing 1.7GB ram. Note that I almost never reboot, so it may well be leaks, but even so, on eventual crashes, reloading my tabs is painfully slow.
It seems to me that many of the drugs in this category are effective sometimes for some people. People I have known who were suffering acutely often cycled through several drugs, sometimes in combination, dosages etc. It appears to me to be mostly trial and error.

But for some people the results are miraculous. They solve real problems with few if any side effects. For others, they either don't work at all or have intolerable side effects.

The situation would be a whole lot better if we could predict likely efficacy and side effects in advance, especially cases where treatment is more likely to do harm that to help.

Interestingly, I've read a lot (not so much recently) on the subject and taken several SSRIs myself (with good short term experience, minor sides), but I learned a lot from the discussion here. So many people take these drugs — the data necessary to understand and perhaps to predict ... is out there. Not easy to get at, but really plentiful. Reading this made me think about the feasibility of mining message boards for first person accounts of SSRI experience.
Really? You're the first person I've heard that doesn't have that problem. My Firefox gets quite slow on both my home and work computers¹ at ~40+ tabs. The tab groups extension (which they removed from core, I guess to make room for Pocket and Hello²) does make managing lots of tabs much easier however. I regularly have to clean out my tabs or switching takes several seconds.

I currently have 37 tabs open and Firefox is using ~800MB of RAM. Basically, either you're doing something really magical with your Firefox, or are just spewing bullshit.

Someone's going to say its the fault of extensions (what good is Firefox without extensions, anyway) so let's see:

- Decentraleyes (locally emulates CDNs)

- HTTPS Everywhere (why is this not the default behavior?)

- OverbiteFF (support for the gopher protocol)

- Perapera (Mandarin word splitting and Mandarin↔English dictionary)

- Pinboard (I can't imagine this uses any significant resources whatsoever)

- Random Agent Spoofer (change user agent at random)

- Reddit Enhancement Suite

- Tab Groups (I miss when tab panorama was default, but I can see why it's an extension)

- uBlock Origin

- uMatrix (possibly my single favorite Firefox extension; control JS and more, like NoScript on steroids and easier to use)

- VimFx

That's… actually quite a lot. I wonder if extensions alone are my problem, but then again Firefox without extensions isn't much better than Edge (and Edge seems faster on average).

I don't think I've tweaked any settings in about:config.

Is that enough details about my setup for people to help fix it?

Anecdotally complaints about how slow Firefox is seem fairly common. I think your last paragraph is a bit off the mark.

Different patients need differing amount of times. We're not talking about doctors who work in private practice and have business hours. We're talking about doctors who work in hospitals and work prearranged shifts and have on-call time.

A doctor can't necessarily predict how much time a patient will need. If a doc is on an 8-hour shift (hypothetical; I doubt any docs are so lucky!), and gets a new patient at the 6 hour mark, it might not be known if the patient will only be in the hospital for an hour, which would be fine, or 4 hours, which would push the doc to 10 hours.

As the argument goes, that patient is safer staying with the doc into his/her 10th hour on the job, versus being transferred to a different, fresher doctor midway through. I think there's enough truth there for it to be persuasive, but 1) there are limits to how effective a doctor is going to be after a certain amount of time, and the benefits of patient continuity must start dropping as the doctor has been working longer, and 2) there seems to be little attention paid to improving the process of handing a patient off between two doctors, which could further reduce problems related to lack of continuity to the point where a doctor who has been working 10 hours will cause more bad outcomes than shifting patients to fresher doctors would.

Yup, I'm a big fan of how rust does dispatching. It's awesome to not have static/dynamic dispatch tied to the type but the explicit usage.
Optional for the implementations. So basically your ssl library is unlikely to do it. And at that point having a "getTime()" API call in your service is simpler than having a custom patched SSL implementation.

6 tabs, 1GB of RAM, ~20% CPU usage for me on Firefox. I have a few basic QoL plugins like LastPass, uBlock, and NoScript. It's absolutely ridiculous. I want to keep using FireFox, but it's forcing me to consider moving to another browser.

If I pass a street musician, I haven't implicitly signed a contract to pay her for the show -- either in currency or by transferring any other valued commodity. I don't have an obligation to support her business plan, even if I enjoy the music.

She may perhaps claim that we entered into an implied contract. Or the musician could post a placard reading her terms-of-service. But in simply walking down the street, like clicking on a link, it can't reasonably be claimed that I entered into a preconceived and negotiated contract where I agreed to payment for a service.

I'm actually a huge fan of their ownership model. I find that in languages where you can't enforce it(Java, etc) architecture tends to suffer. Single owner(with tools to break out when you have to) is a fantastic model.

I feel that lazy ownership gets really gnarly when you start associating large native resources with objects and then can't clearly be sure who's owning a reference to what(see Activity/Context leaking in Android).

All of this stuff is solveable with proper diligence but I prefer my language to enforce it.
Some want to be small and lightweight, e.g. Dillo, so I can imagine them rejecting such features altogether.

Others don't have features like DOM, Javascript, etc. so there's not much they could offer that "view source" doesn't already do.

Others don't have a suitable interaction model, e.g. w3m is effectively a pager for turning HTML into ANSI escape codes; conkeror is keyboard driven so would need a radically different UI for it to be effective; etc.

Others, like Netsurf, Konqueror and the Webkit wrappers (Midori, Arora, etc.) would probably like a dev tools feature, but don't have enough developer power to implement one.

There is a branch of computing called zero energy computing. It overlaps with time reversible computing.

With power demands for exabyte data centers and exaflop computers well into megawatts, there is interest in low energy computing.

One scheme Ive heard pairs a forward circuirt with an inverse circuit to reduce energy, despite it appears to double the computation.

In what way is RISC (a horizontal encoding designed to be efficient to decode) different from a 118-bit uop (a horizontal encoding of microarchitectural to-dos in subsequent pipeline stages)? If you can explain without adding yet another shape-shifting definition of what RISC is, or without pigeon-holing it, that would be awesome. From my perspective, a uOP and a RISC instruction are absolutely identical in intent, which is the point of RISC to begin with: the intent to be efficient to decode.

Yeah, Opera with Presto engine was amazing. It was the only browser that focused on UX, really fast and responsive UX. It also had real keyboard navigation, going through the links was easier, than using a mouse, temporarily enabling javascript or cookies in a tab was couple of keypresses away. Good times.
