The latter, from what I understand most engines are multi threaded only in the sense that multiple threads are running stuff, one thread for sound, one thread for simulation etc, and that the graphics processing (still the bottleneck in most games) is still mostly single threaded, at least until it get's to the GPU.

> Is Rust like Ruby in that devs and library authors can add methods to and redefine built-ins?

It's closer to refinements than monkey-patching, that is, you can, but you must bring the trait into scope for it to work.

> And that merely including a library can alter the definition of those objects everywhere in your project's code?

No, based on the above rule. We don't want that.

"confirmed serial sexual predator"

Bill Clinton is a 'confirmed sexual predator'. That Hillary defended.

Donald Trump 'talked some smack in private' - which 100% of guys (and girls) are likely guilty of.

Listen - I do not like Trump one bit, but they hypocrisy here is palpable.

The great unanswered question is: what happened to growth?

You've outlined exactly one dimension of why we need it - without it, it's rent-seeking all the way down.

I am concerned that the emerging "Greatest Generation/Silent Generation/Baby Boom used up all the growth and now we're ... messsed up." becomes a self-fullfilling prophecy, aided by the cumulative nature of assets.

I am loath to call rent seekers "capitalists". Perhaps
that's an error, but it make sense to me.
I do.

But in general I think "free" has lost all coherent meaning in modern English. It is used as a synonym of "included." When someone says "free" (at the cost of $100/year) I just roll my eyes in my head.

With the card however, it is a decent card with or without prime membership however since you get 3% without Prime which is still mucher higher cash back than competitive offers.
It also adds no foreign transaction fees which is common on Chase affinity cards with a fee but wasn't the case with the original non-Prime Amazon card. (Which is a fairly significant benefit if you travel internationally and don't already use a card with that benefit.)
You actually carry a balance on your credit cards?
There's no reason these scrapers couldn't be coded to identify fields, insert plausible but synthetic data that'd validate, and submit forms. At least in the case of lead gen forms where payment details aren't required. It's a bit skeezy, but that's never really deterred the industry before.

Back when I used BuiltWith (1-2 years ago), they didn't appear to do that. But then, it's not really necessary since their use case is just binary identification of users. With the advent of universal tags that fire on every page (and you configure in the backend which page or funnel is considered a "conversion"), you can identify a lot of the ad tech in use without any form submission. Plus a lot of conversion and remarketing tags aren't hardcoded on the post-submission page, but wrapped in javascript functions. With minification and bundling, you can get a high success rate just parsing through the javascript files included on any page.

Where automated form submission would come in really handy would be a competitive intelligence tool that scrapes an entire site (and subdomains), identifies what actions on which page trigger which tags, and stitched together entire marketing funnels. Being able to monitor a competitor's likely marketing funnels (and seeing which ones they keep over time and which change) would be incredibly valuable, and would necessitate knowing precisely which tags fired on every page, including post-submission pages.
So you're saying that we need a category of workers to agree to refuse certain working conditions, but as a group so that individual compromisers don't undermine the action?

...but we don't need unions?
Here's the relevant answer from the FAQ (see link at the bottom the page):

Can I post a job ad?

Please do not post job ads as story submissions to HN.

A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month. Most job ads are welcome there. (But only an account called whoishiring is allowed to submit the thread itself. This prevents a race to post it first.)

The other kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only one should be on the front page at a time.

I don't like open office plans, but they're so common in the Bay Area that there's not much avoiding them. I don't want to work remote, and office configurations aren't the only thing I look for in a gig. So realistically, I'm probably going to be working in an open plan as long as I'm here.

It works and it's not a crippling thing to have to contend with, but not everyone is ideally suited for an open office plan. I think it disproportionately hurts people that have skills in certain things, wider responsibilities, or institutional knowledge that a number of others have to utilize. You can have the best organized, most complete documentation ever and this will still be an issue.

depends on how you use your credit card. You can get the 5% cash back and if pay everything in full on time you shouldn't even care about the interest rate.

Go certainly does not do traditional threading. It has Go routines, which is are lightweight "threads" which gets multiplexed on top of real OS threads. It's basically implementing async IO at the runtime level.
From reading the reviews of the card it sounds like you get charged interest if you don't pay off the full balance each month. That is, it's not the statement bill you need to pay off, but the current balance. Which seems hard to track for a lot of people like me who use their credit card several times per day.

I'd do more research before using this card.

It can't? Isn't this a regular credit card now?
One can't add methods dynamically like Ruby nor redefine built-ins. However, one can implement traits for built-in types and the functionality in such traits is often provided as methods, giving the appearance of adding/overriding built-in functionality. Rust has the important distinction that functionality from a trait is only available when the trait is in scope, which requires an explicit import. Additionally, Rust has a static type checker, which helps lessens the risk of any features that seem implicit.

In this case, both of those methods are in the standard library.
No foreign transaction fees is always appreciated. I never travel without it these days.

I will add that typically this perk does NOT apply to foreign ATM cash withdrawals. Only to regular purchases made with the card. Taking out cash using a credit card is always an expensive proposition, doubly so abroad.
>a funeral felt strange in those cases

Huh? Why? Back when I was married, we had a funeral every time one of our pets died. Not some big affair with other people, of course, but just a small little ceremony for ourselves in our home or in the backyard where we buried the box.

Writing goodbyes on balloons and letting them go as you did can also be said to be a form of a funeral.

This is hardly anything new. You get a card with usurious interest rates for not paying completely on time if you want cashback/etc. benefits. You get a card with slightly less usurious interest rates and very limited benefits if you want to carry a a balance.
Detroit is implementing a program along these lines. They are selling properties in so called 'bad neighborhoods' and mandating that they be rehabbed and renovated within 6 months to code.

The average cost of rehabbing a home bought for $1000~$2000 say is $50,000. Have a look at the website:

http://www.buildingdetroit.org/

The 'Rehabbed and Ready' (http://auctions.buildingdetroit.org/RehabbedAndReady) homes demonstrate the transformation from a $1000 to a $50000 property.

To my eyes this approach closely matches the 10% target described in the article, and seems to be a smart way to build a tax base.

What he says on the tape (in conjunction with perfectly credible statements from multiple witnesses) tells you everything you need to know. And BTW, the standard shouldn't be whether he's been criminally convicted or not; but "preponderance of evidence".

As in the, you know, rational, pragmatic "Would you even consider (for so much as half a second) hiring someone who made statements like that, in conjunction with statements his victims? Let alone electing him to the office of dog catcher?" sense.

Having volunteered with Gaza Sky Geeks (GSG) and been on the ground all I can say is that this is a big positive in the region and for the people living in Gaza.

You would not believe how welcoming and hard working Palestinians are. There is a generalization because of the conflict but at the end of the day these are people like you and me trying to achieve their goals in a positive way.

There is a political situation around it and it cannot be ignored from the moment you arrive but I strongly believe that Mercy Corps and GSG and initiatives like the coding academy help a population that lives in harsh conditions without access of what we give for granted in the US.

Here are some of the things that blew me away:
- About 50% of the founders in the GSG were women.
- There are a lot of very young and talented engineers.
- Walking through Gaza as a western looking guy I feared people would not be super happy, it was quite the opposite, endless invitations to have coffee, eat watermelon, say hello and welcome.
- Hardware startups solving issues that could be applied to underdeveloped countries, one of my favorites was a USB charger that you power by slipping into your shoe and walking.

There is no reason to not celebrate and join the people backing these initiatives, they have a direct impact on good people and even if you have concerns about the politics in the region, I think these programs help alleviate the tension and let people focus on living their lives and not be frustrated with the laundry list of day to day hurdles they encounter.

(i'm not sure - but Stunt Rally and Trigger Rally may be from the same Trigger codebase)

Trigger Rally also has a webgl version:

All of this is just to say that if it were wanted, a completely open-source driving AI simulator could be easily made.
Ironically I signed up for the store card a few months ago because it seemed like a no brainer to save 5% and I shop often at Amazon.

Now this. I wish there was a way to upgrade (even forfeit $70 gift card promo bonus). Instead it seems difficult since the store card was Synchrony bank and the new Prime Rewards card uses Chase bank.

Now I have two Amazon cards. Looks like the store card will sit unused since the credit system we live in frowns upon closing credit lines, as I understand it.
I added division and brackets. This gets every number up to 5397, with only about 400 numbers still missing overall (<5%), but run time goes up to 40 minutes.

Potentiation is a problem though (particularly when combined with brackets) as Python becomes impossibly slow using bignums. (I estimate it will take several days of compute time to test all 250 million possibilities, unless I put some effort into speeding it up significantly.) But at least it would prove definitively whether 10958 is possible.

If the only goal were to search for a solution to 10958 though, it should be fairly straightforward to re-order the search in approximately ascending order of compute cost so that if a simple solution exists it will be found quickly.

If you're talking about the Billy Bush tape, Trump released a video statement claiming to not be a perfect person, and apologized for his behavior.

Soon after the release of the video statement, Trump qualified the apology with the "it was locker room talk, Bill Clinton has done way worse on a golf course, I apologize if anyone was offended."

Too bad he didn't just stick with his original video statement!

What do you recommend for programming the stuff that corresponds to this sort of state?

For a similar problem of making the AI code for a bullet hell shmup, I thought it was very important to be able to edit the AI code easily to try out a lot of stuff. I've had decent experiences using BulletML and Lua for this, but both of them provide no path forward if I want to update the game and load an old save. Like, because I was not asked to explicitly name every single state in my "AI program", I cannot create a mapping between the possible old states and the possible new states to use when running the updated software against an old save. Then again, the fact that I was not asked to explicitly name every single state in my program feels like a pretty central component of the short iteration time I was after to begin with.

For shmup AI this maybe ends up being acceptable because the game doesn't need to run new behaviors against old save files. But if I did need that, maybe I should be using two systems, one for experimentation and another one for making something upgradable?

Yes but being contrary for the sake of contrarianism is anarchy. I got the impression he wanted no information to be given out there. I still have no idea what he wants. His reasoning and method of thought, though, lead me to suspect he may want some technological innovations at any cost. Or, he may be incredibly shortsighted about Trump. Or just out for chaos.

The contrarian thing may have been a rhetorical tactic to say nothing in an interview, too.

Right. And in many cases, it's considered doing a cash advance which turns on the interest fee machine. A few years ago, my dad got hit by this much to his surprise even though he's been a huge traveler forever.

I use my regular ATM card to get cash. There's still a (relatively high) fee but it's still probably better than the currency exchange places and, at least in Western Europe, I don't need cash that often any longer.

> It's interesting to note than any high level thought (e.g. mathematics) bears more resemblance to graphical notation than pure text-based notation.

Exactly! The more general the structures you're thinking about, the more visual approaches seem to become effective. That's my experience and Hadamard has some good discussion and data on it being a widespread trend in mathematical thinking.

Maybe a good approach for thinking about (at least partially) visual languages is considering which approaches are effective in thought for which types of subject matter. It definitely seems like the more general/abstract/high-level thought-categories make better use of relationship-focused visuals.

Also: that's why 'LabViz' yielded no seemingly relevant results on image search...

So in this case, someone has created a trait, I guess as part of the standard library, that provides parsing of network addresses from strings?

From reading the docs, something provides a method called `FromStr` and the `str.parse` method does some magic to figure out which `FromStr` of all the registered traits is the one which we want? So then, it's not arbitrary monkey-patching, but using a defined protocol for defining and extending string parsing?
Don't think so. But it's 1:1 (well 1:100) to Amazon credit which most of the Ultimate Rewards aren't any longer. (Bizarrely, I have a card I can cash out at a higher value in cash than in Amazon credit these days.)

Most of these guys are not really geniuses, they are good, smart guys who made some money and started to believe their own hype long ago, and nobody dares call them out on it. They are surrounded by enablers.

Paradoxically - this is a path to success - their self-belief is so strong that it's very convincing - and so long as they have 'success' to point to - then it all snowballs from there.

The press writes 'puff pieces' to build up character, they read it and believe it.

I witnessed this with the CEO of an F50 firm that I worked at.
This CEO would say crazy, irrational things, make up words. Even to the press - nobody called him out on it - because we were doing well. Printing money. Everyone at the company treated him like some kind of demi-god. Then, when things started to go awry, the press started calling him out on his nonsense, eventually lost his job.

This article is a good example: Thiel is obviously a smart, successful man. But look at how crazy some of his statements are! Most people saying such things would be laughed out of the house. But they have enough acolytes who just eat it all up.

> Prior to the bug, the library used to query the website and check for the code was configured to return a failure if the HTTP status code was not 200 (success). A configuration change to the library caused it to return results even when the HTTP status code was not 200. Since many web servers are configured to include the URL of the request in the body of a 404 (not found) response, and the URL also contained the random code, any web server configured this way caused domain control verification to complete successfully.

I'd bet that the library in question was libcurl, and they forgot to set CURLOPT_FAILONERROR[1].
