The US doesn't use imperial units. It uses customary units. An imperial pint is 25% larger than a customary one.

Metric conversion in the UK isn't complete: on road signs, distances are in miles and speeds are in miles per hour. Pints are used to serve draught or keg beer.

In aviation, height/altitude is measured in feet or flight levels (hundreds of feet), horizontal distance is measured in nautical miles, and speed is measured in knots.

I believe it was the FX chip, also used in Vortex I think, and there was also the Mode7 chip IIRC.
This guy (Neil Fraser) wrote https://github.com/lqc/google-diff-match-patch right before joining Google, which is an incredibly useful foundational library for realtime synchronized text editing. He was very influential in open source work on realtime sync until going to work at Google, when he just sort of disappeared.
i don't see what's irrational about it. as for polite, excuse me, whether we're warming the earth is an issue that has been discussed quietly and politely for 30 years and evidence for disaster piles up and up. when polio was raging we did not need polite discussion of whether the germ theory of disease is true, the evidence is in and let's get on with it. but mysteriously on this issue where there are powerful economic interests invested in denial, people just want to discuss and discuss and (by the way) do nothing until discussion is over.

You are thinking of VMS logicals. Of course they can be used for more than just environment variables! They can also be used to provide an extra level of indirection to filenames. Neat stuff!
What's your specialty? I can't imagine an agency passing along generic web dev work. It would have to be something they don't have the expertise on hand to deal with, right?
Did you consider using KiCAD or another open EDA tool instead of Eagle?
Totally just saw your username… small world haha. I wish both had more free API access too.

Another thing to consider is most investors and accelerators keep lists on their own sites but very fragmented.

It's the quality of the debate, not the value of the position
The problem I have with Mayday is that there is only about 10min of footage repeated over an hour (45min + ad breaks). Most of the time is filled with summaries (after ad breaks), suspense (obtained by temporarily truncating explanations), questions and hyperboles. Also, it's very US-centric, as if no citizen of other nation were as competent as US ones. Multiplied explanations for the same fact feel like they think I'm 5, and the repetion feels like brainwashing. I come out of watching feeling like it would fit in 2 minutes, even though the original non-repeated content is probaboy more than that. I'd love if they could do a cross-season episodes: "It has been found that (spoiler alert) flight XYZ failed because of reasons A, B and C. The cause A happens over 3 accidents, let's study the 2 other causes. C happened when landing the space shuttle too and in the building collapse in another country. (etc)"

CockroachDB heavily utilizes RocksDB.
here's the problem: These kind of libraries will never come close touching Fortran's built-in features, simply because the compiler can't automatically optimise for knowledge about the code that only the library has. Even arrays not knowing their size is still an issue, let alone array based ops like shown in the article.

Fortran is not the fastest language around the block, but if you don't want to go into non-portable machine-based hand-tuned optimisations (e.g. loop unrolling) it's hard to beat. Basically, if you optimise for both runtime and programmer time for HPC applications I'd argue that Fortran is top of the crop.
It doesn't logically follow that because we use the inventions of others, that anyone who decides to sit on a couch all day, and stick their hand out is deserving of money of those that choose to work.

Modern day liberalism has become a religion, where "what should happen" and what's "morally right", and who has "advantage over others" replaces "God's commandments", "sin", and even in the case of affirmative action, "original sin" (being a white male, you are born having others more deserving than you).

And just like any other religion, it's all just a bunch of horse shit.
Interesting. Instead, kid enters the room, you tell them that they will be sitting there anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours, depending on how long the experiment should be. They get to choose a sequence of doors. At each step, the door can either contain +10 minutes or -10 minutes, representing the number of minutes which will be either added to or subtracted from their experiment duration, respectively.

My guess is that the depressed/bored children will now respond a little bit better to this experiment. It's just a guess -- but I think depressed/bored kids would tend to avoid spending time being bored in a little lab room.
As someone who works on a freelance team, why do you only hire individuals?
RISC-V isn't about hardware freedom, but about an open ISA that anyone can implement, including those who will make proprietary implementations.
It's more than that.

Example: claiming they are active in tech community and having low score.

Claiming they've been around a while and having young profile.

It's about matching claims to reality.

No applicant is obligated to share. The whole tell me details about yourself is the candidates choice.

Many, many of my favorite 74' parts from the old days are no longer made. The MSI parts that were bread-and-butter of this kind of design back then make less-than-zero economic sense any more. Nobody would design them in, so nobody makes them.

Today you can get the basic logic, of course, because a little bit of glue and duct tape is still necessary. And the super basic shift registers and I/O buffers are still useful. But all computation has moved into much more highly integrated chips or FPGAs.
Would it be worth faking parts you haven't gotten to yet? Have boards with the correct connectors for higher level components and simulate using off the shelf microcontrollers.

This would allow system level testing, and get to a working device sooner. Over time migrate everything to TTL
Thanks, that's very helpful!

I'm not sure what would make you think I'm trolling, because I'm not. Go was the only language I genuinely knew had a spec on a single page, and I thought other languages don't do that because it's not feasible (and the reason Go can do it is because it's much simpler and has a lot less features).

Now it's interesting to be able to compare the size of the two specs.
How are you using Stripe without an SSL certificate on your website? I just looked at the Stripe documentation, and it says you need to have an SSL certificate on your site in order to use Stripe. Is that more of just a suggestion than a requirement?
We have canvas for like ages. Nobody wants to implement a "better" GUI than the DOM because it's an immensely difficult task with little to no benefit.

WebAssembly will eventually have a DOM API and then JS will not die its growth will just slow down and plateau.
I was under the impression the point of WebAssembly is to do asm.js better.
It's not though. If you're not arguing a pro-groupthink position you'll get down voted regardless of the quality of your commentary. See just about any politics related thread for an example of that.

Note that only applies to subjective topics. If you're commenting about a purely technical topic then the voting system does seem to work more effectively.
Both had the right training and knowledge, Pearson was a glider pilot and Sully taught water landings among other things. But any landing everyone walks away from (or swims) alive is a good landing.
The fact that RISC-V is not motivated by hardware freedom is not in conflict with my statement that it is a beacon of light on the road to hardware freedom. Both can be simultaneously true.

Hardware freedom will become increasingly important in the future, and I predict it will be harder to achieve that software freedom.
I never said they're toxic. Heck I love them and probably use them as much as upvotes.
Indeed "nerd" isn't the problem, it's just that nerd-pride type of idea comes from two aspects: (A) that there's a history of being marginalized such that people in these circles can feel defensive and (B) there's a definite white-guy cultural thing all tied into the "nerd" identity such that people who identify that way aren't comfortable with the idea that tech could be potentially dominated by the sorts of people who are culturally ill-fit to that identity. The identity politics isn't nonsense.

There's just more going on with the sort of people who would get that up in arms over this stuff than just the surface issues themselves.
The translators feature is pretty awesome.
Amazing to work for 10 years at one place. The only place that comes close is working for my own company back in the later 80s, early 90's. Who stays with one employer anymore these days?
This is so blatantly abusive that wosign and startcom needs to be pulled from all trusted root CA stores immediately. If their SSL cert clients' websites break, so be it. This is outright malicious behavior.

The internet engineering community would come down like a ton of bricks if somebody registered ripe.cn and decided to impersonate RIPE. Same principle.
No, it's not a tutorial, which I don't think would make sense. Rather, it's a walk through the design and implementation of Minix. Minix is tiny, so you can actually follow along. In theory, by the time you're done you'll not just know Minix, but you'd be able to write your own kernel if you wanted to.
> Unless they registered those domains to "reserve" them for LetsEncrypt (haha right?)

Which is exactly what WoSign say they did in that same comment thread after noticing that LetsEncrypt didn't register the Chinese domain names themselves.

They also offer to transfer them to LetsEncrypt at no cost.

They could file a DMCA counter-claim (claiming that they are the legal copyright holder), at which point IBM would need to take legal action to get the DMCA takedown reinstated.

But to be really sure that IBM doesn't have any claim to this version of the software, they should first consult an intellectual property lawyer. They could contact the EFF to see if they'd be willing to offer free legal representation.
"Appearing to genuinely care" is different than being empathetic. The former implies the person doesn't really care, the latter is by definition concern for another person.

My comment on HR people caring was a more general statement on my interactions with HR in a variety of situations. As a manager, I often see both sides of HR/employee interactions.
You included Guccifer 2 in the screenshot. This is NOT fake news as I am sure the CIA etc will tell you.

A message to everyone pushing the fake news meme. You better get your lists right. Yes, there exist some sites that push objectively fake news. Considering the multitude of issues that come up around identifying and blocking "Fake News", you damn well better get it right.

There are well founded and widespread concerns that there will be overreach in this mission steered by political motivations.

If you want support in this mission, it only takes one news site to be mislabelled for your other (genuine) work to be completely dismissed. I believe it is just too dangerous otherwise.

PropOrNot had exactly this problem, having to issue multiple retractions and apologies due to mislabelling.

Ambitious, glad to see this in Dallas. Urban parks are great, all cities should have them.

The 'take note' part is a yes.

One or two signals is not a pattern, but it can mean to start looking for one.
I agree that it's not a very well written article.

But its not non-sequitor, and it doesn't really go on to conclude anything. If this is accurate, all it is saying is that intelligent people, who appear to enjoy being alone more, are well suited for life in a busy urban environment where you spend less time interacting wth fiends and family and therefore more intelligent people migrate to urban environments.

Again, if this is accurate, this isnt saying cities make people smarter (causation), its saying that smart people are drawn to less interactive environments which happens to be cities. it's the exact definition of correlation.

tl;dr: nothing ground breaking here, smart people like to be left alone and alone is now defined as living in urban environments.

The application process asks for links to profiles, one of which is HN (also github, Twitter, StackOverflow, others).

Criteria varies. Red flags (such as loads of flagged comments here), name calling, threats, "bad" things.

Once and applicant was dismissed from my process because their comments on social (not just HN) showed a severe distaste for "n00b JS". The position clearly identified use of these tools. The demonstrated attitude would be caustic to my team and my junior devs would suffer.

Since companies always have more applicants than jobs we can be choosy. I filter for social fit first.

I can teach you to code. I don't know how to teach you to be respectful.

Again, HN profile is one of 100s of factors we compare on applicants
Are you sure? I was responding to:

"Estimates are to be avoided at all cost."

"Don't fear running late."

"Value quality over deadlines."
I would imagine that he cost of the heating fuels is pretty much the same all over Europe.

UK has 3.16 million hectares of woodland[1], Finland has 23 million hectares[2] of forest. UK population is 65 million, Finland has 5 million. [Wikipedia]

With 7 times more trees potentially providing fuel for 1/13th as many people, shouldn't it work out noticably cheaper?

It's more likely that it's flat enough. Denmark is the same, it's really flat (highest mountain: 150m), which makes biking to work or the store less work, so you don't arrive in a sweaty mess. It's easy to bike, so more people do it, so there's more demand and infrastructure for it.

Denmark also has an incredibly high spot-tax on cars, which makes biking even more attractive.

I have a bunch of friends in Stockholm though who bought electric-assisted cargo bikes, which make it easy enough to take the kids to school or get to work or go grocery shopping, so that might make biking more attractive overall.

When you only have one typographic differentiator as we do on HN, you use it for contrast. This is the most effective presentation for blocks of text on HN. Quote marks are frequently overlooked, or I would still be using them.
It's not a performance measure. It's a social-fit indicator.

There is more to the hiring process than just raw skill.

I mean, I don't even waste time with coding questions. It doesn't matter that you can code circles around someone else if you are a jerk.
Personally, I'm more curious to see the comparison with QUIC, which eliminates the RTTs to set up TCP + TLS, and multiplexes connections in a way that doesn't lead to the head-of-line blocking problem that you can see with HTTP/2 over TCP -- QUIC uses UDP, so no requirement for in-order delivery across the entire connection, just within each resource flow (in this context, each request).

On that note, I do think it's a bit inaccurate to say that Google's efforts are/were primarily focused on data compression -- yes, they did introduce brotli, which is just a better LZ77 implementation (primary difference with gzip is that window size isn't a fixed 32KB), but they also pioneered SPDY (which turned into HTTP/2 after going through the standards committee) and now QUIC.

(obligatory disclaimer that google gives me money, so I am biased)

Ask HN: Does anyone else have (or had) problems in dating or getting married?
I know this is not a dating/pua discussion forum; but I am similar to most people here. I am if anyone else here also suffering from dating dilemma. I am SE asian and live in Seattle. I am 31 and have no friend so far here in Seattle. Weather is so depressing that I have not seen the Sun in last 30 days.

I am not a very good looking guy. I go to the gym at least 3 times a week. I am not overweight as well. Only strike against me is my premature baldness. I personally don't think it is such a big deal now. However, when I was in SF, it was a big deal for most of the women.

Where do you meet women if you don't have social circle? I am on tinder and CMB, very rarely I get matched with someone. Chances of a serious relationship are almost zero with girls on tinder and CMB.

Do you have any suggestions?
Areas of household income around $16,000, what reported occupations are these? Part time temp work on and off?

Also, isn't there a lot of utility by looking at assets as well. It wouldn't seemingly change a discussion around the article presented, but it is kind of pointless to have a discussion of annual income and neglect people that have assets greater than their income, liquid or not.
Agreed. Content regurgitation is so annoying.

Isaac, thank you for your (almost :-) indefatigable work for and defence of the benchmarks game.
Please don't. Poorer they are, more fanatic they get.
Housing is the real problem. Let's call it what it is. Once you have a place to live, then the cost of a pleasant existence is a) pretty cheap, b) controllable [eat out versus eat at home], and c) more or less the same in many parts of the country. Education and health care costs are close runner ups but the real affordability crisis that we have to solve for is affordable housing in desirable areas (job centers). On the other hand, there is so much household savings tied up in housing that any major effort to reduce prices would cause a lot of economic pain. I don't have any answers.

They were not only dropping standard features like RMI and JNI but also sneaking proprietary methods into standard classes.

> But it doesn't make sense from the other side of the transaction at least to me.

It does make sense, because YC is effectively help price a round. What doesn't make sense is that most companies that go through YC are getting convertible notes from non-YC seed stage investors, while YC itself as an equivocal seed stage investor is getting equity. This is where the waters get a bit muddy.
> Areas of household income around $16,000, what reported occupations are these? Part time temp work on and off?

Minimum wage is $7/hour. 40 hours a week * 52 weeks and you're not even making $15k despite working full time and not taking even a week off. Pretty abysmal.

I'm not sure what to make of this. What would the end game for this possibly be, it simply overwrites the master boot record making the computer it infects inoperable. "Central Bank" seems to be a red herring, but then again I could be over estimating data redundancy of government systems.
