I've independently come to the same conclusion as you and OP, but some of my liberal friends on Facebook don't agree. I don't really understand the argument to "isolate and shun" by not joining his advisory boards. If there is pressure to keep Trump's ideological enemies out of the process, then that only leaves his supporters... Which leads to all of his sources of information supporting his decisions.

Did you ever get an official response on the reason for the delay?

The reason I'm asking is because I wonder if there could be a local ordinance or government interdiction that needed to be overcome in order to make what, on its face, seems like a relatively simple change. Incumbent utility companies tend to have a more streamlined process for requesting changes due to their familiarity and rapport with the local government processes and personnel.
Have you even used VSCode?

It has refactoring, and revision control integrated. You can compile and run code, you can set breakpoints and step through execution. That's waaaaay more than just an editor.
How about the GitLab EE Model? My company would gladly pay for an open source solution, even if it had to pay for it.
I can see how that can work as well, but I would argue having a deeper understanding of the problem (whatever it may be) will benefit any mathematician/student in the long run.
There is immigration, and illegal immigration.

Trump has given no sign of being against the former.
I'm a Muslim Arab American and I am against Israel's more aggressive policies and actions.

But I definitely respect Israel as a state, and especially the Israeli tech sector. Israel has consistently produced world-class companies in almost every field you can think of. It's quite impressive once you consider all of the factors.

The author of "Startup Nation" argued that one key reason behind this success is how the military ties back into civilian companies, especially with the mandatory service. I'm not sure how important that is, given how many other countries have a similar model yet they've achieved nothing close to what Israel has. There are a few that have, such as Singapore and South Korea.

I'm hoping that my home country Tunisia can replicate (at least somewhat) the Israeli success story. We have a lot of talented people both inside the country and overseas. The biggest thing we're lacking right now is a functioning economy (yep, tough times)... but I hope we can get there in the near future!

Ask HN: Better efficiency in laptops running Linux?
So I have this laptop (nothing crazy) it's an Acer Cloudbook 14, I bought it mainly because of the insane purported battery life of something like 12 hours. Also it looked really nice/thin profile. Of course it's pretty much a piece of garbage eg. visible pixels, 2GB fixed ram, etc... Still it's not bad.

I found that running Windows 10 as it is, that's really good on power management.

I was running Ubuntu and Lubuntu on it for a bit and found the battery performance to suck. I'm primarily interested in using Linux to drop the idle RAM usage, as it sits at like 900+MB without anything open (except background tasks).

I'm a web developer so normally I have a local LAMP server setup with i3-wm.

I was looking through some forums and one thing mentioned was to modify the kernel regarding power management.

I'm just wondering if this is a lost cause eg. no point in trying.

I just think, for example the Macbook Air supposedly has really good software that manages the task management and what not and this helps with battery life and resource management. I was wondering if I could do something similar with Linux regarding battery life.

Going into standby when not in use, closing the lid, etc... ultimately though yeah I want to extend that 2GB.

I know... this computer is garbage, I bought it for $99 on eBay. Even with 8GB running VM on my desktop, 8GB is almost not enough with 2GB set for the VM. I remember the days when I had 16GB ha.

"By design, Perl is harder to read if you write it the way it's intended to be used."

What way is it intended to be used? Perl 4 style mixing Perl and shell script?

Perl 5 has had (roughly) yearly releases since 1994 and is now at 5.24. Quite a bit has changed in that time and the language has evolved and improved.

There are modern non blocking web frameworks, great database support, several modern OO systems etc.

And Perl still works great shell script style (you can choose to code in a clean style) and for the most parts there is great backwards compatibility.

Perl is definitively about getting the job done. Hence the slogans "make easy things easy and hard things possible" and "there is more than one way to do it".

For someone well versed in Perl something like idiomatic Python becomes a prison where it is hard to get the job done because you can't freely express yourself.

I think it's not just philosophy or language design but people are wired differently. And Perl is a lot of fun for creative individuals.

Lastly, I am looking forward to the next years when the Python community has to clean up because of its current popularity with novice programmers. That's what Perl has been through and that old novice code is also where most of the undeserved reputation come from.
But no-one on the left claims to be tolerant of everything, that's just a straw man applied to them by the right. No-one can be. How can you be tolerant of gay marriage and also be tolerant of homophobia? How can you be tolerant of racial diversity and also tolerant of racism?

They're in direct competition with each other. It shouldn't surprise anyone when people take a side. When people on the left describe themselves as "tolerant" it's because they are typically tolerant of more individual things, not because their tolerance is equally spread among all things.
Trump craves praise and approval. He needs people to think he's great. At the same time he reflexively rejects/attacks/hates anyone at all, even a potential ally, who criticizes him.

Furthermore, when the people protest his decisions or angrily criticize him, it actually fuels his ego and makes him more convinced that his decisions are correct.

We've seen this again and again and again.

Should my goal be to remain untainted by association or contact with Trump?

Or should it be to coax the confused monster away from his destructive path?
Oh Snap!
It's a bit presumptuous that everyone living in rural areas is unskilled. I've got nearly two years in the tech industry, hold several certifications, and almost have a BS completed. But because I live in a rural area & all the tech jobs are becoming more and more centralized, it's nearly impossible for me to find work. I don't want to move because my wife is in school and my family also lives in the middle of nowhere. I'm willing to bet there are many people like me.

I noticed whilst writing a verilog implementation - seeing the @PC+ relative modes for immediate data made me dig out my PDP-11 reference card.

The number of addressing modes has been halved, gaining a bit for register encoding, and the status register is now in the register file (R2), and R3 is used to generate various constants depending on mode.

Being part of the body doesn't make a difference - with an appropriate warrant, you certainly can force a DNA or HIV test, or take fingerprints or any other analysis of the body; self-incrimination doesn't cover that.
Too bad nobody agrees on what those are. So you can tolerate each other, segregate yourself, or fight.
How exactly are they supposed to afford to live there? A ramshackle crack house in Vancouver costs $1M+. Silicon Valley is dirt cheap by comparison. Toronto is also quite expensive these days.

Also, Canada does not have the same language if you're talking about Quebec (which you mentioned).

The only way Canada makes any sense is if somehow Calgary and/or Edmonton suddenly become fast-growing tech hubs. But have fun with the cold. Most tech immigrants are not going to be too enthusiastic about that, considering most of them come from very warm parts of the world like India.

> This is really unfortunate. If you're in the "Trump is a mad man" camp, don't you want voices of reason like Kalanack's to be in his ear?

I see the point, but this business council isn't going to meaningfully influence policy. The policymaking apparatus is huge and this is a tiny, tiny piece of it. However, it does send a signal to Republicans in Congress that the tech $ they want will not play along with Trump. That's a quite important signal.
> I don't have anything with 10MB cache.

The link you provided was to three distinct models of i7 processors... all with 8MB of L3 cache. I would argue that 8MB isn't much smaller than 10MB, but I will understand if you disagree. However, even the slowest of those processors also has 1MB of L2 cache and 256KB of L1 cache, not to mention other "cache-like" memory in the form of renamed registers, completion queues, etc. At most, we're talking <800KB shy of 10MB in cache.

> If you get into L1, you get about 1000x faster.

I think you are making my point for me.

> Maybe I have a different perspective? If a 600kb runtime is 1000x faster, I want to know what I get by being 10x bigger.

You are assuming that at all times all of that 10MB must be touched by the processor at once. You can have a 10MB runtime where most of the cycles are being spent on a hotspot <4KB of data.... Having a hot spot that is orders of magnitude smaller than the full runtime is totally unsurprising. It's particularly true when your runtime has a JIT in it. With a JIT, most of the time, the bytes that are being executed aren't part of that 10MB, but rather are generated by it. Are you going to penalize your 600KB runtime for the size of the source code? ;-)
> Once the migration is complete, run the Scalding job once again to make sure there are no existing subscriptions missing from the Subscriptions collection.

That sounds scary! how many time do you need the "once again"?
It's like in C. "Ferris" is a pointer (and length, in Rust) into the binary's static storage segment.

String::from("Ferris") creates a pointer to a string on the heap with the contents "Ferris".

The difference is that in C this distinction is implicit, so you can accidentally try to modify the string in static storage, which is undefined behaviour, whereas Rust treats these distinct things as distinct types.
Nope. See the discussion we had about this a couple months ago on HN.

It is valuable becuase it shows that the vast majority wanted someone other then Trump as president. It means he does not have a popular mandate to do the things he wants to do.

I look forward to Republicans acknowledging what they said before, and working cooperatively with democrats to end the Trump presidency, impeaching him for violating the Emoluments Clause cause of the constitution.

usually wake around 8:00. breakfast in bed with partner. shower, stagger in to office. Take morning ritalin. check morning cartoons (xkcd smbc, frazz), read HN (18 minutes noprocrast). Check sites for jobs (_still_ no Python contracts. It's been nearly a year). Start work on whatever little job there is, or on my never ending side project. snack more than I should. Eat a couple of apples. Wish there were some interesting paid work in the offing, or even some interesting lighting work (the live music scene here is almost as dead as the Python contract market). Try to understand the next new bit of technology for the side project: currently how to write a mobile app and how to structure code for embedded ARM devices and port code from AVR to that.

Probably. And they also won't always sell an item as soon as they receive it, which eats into free cash flow. But generally speaking, they get paid for goods by customers before they need to pay the supplier, which creates free cash flow.
I'm running Windows 10 on a machine that's about five years old. No SSD. It's quite snappy. The only issue with speed is startup times are long if you force it to do a full restart.

Ah, my bad, I misunderstood.

It's pretty normal for tech companies to do dozens of deploys a day, thanks to CI/CD. There are lots of ways to achieve this, but they all pretty boil down to the same idea: Boot up the new version before shutting down the old version.

Attack? You make it look like Israel was the aggressor with no reason.
When in fact it was provoked by rockets fired on border towns and the attack on a border patrol where 3 soldiers died and 2 were captured.
These sorts of "centrist" comments bother me. You're acting as if Trump is a normal president, that any disagreements can be distilled down to "partisanship", and that he can actually be reasoned with if only he hears the right people.

The disagreements with the travel ban are not partisan or political — this ban will have very serious consequences for millions of people, and maybe more in the future, given what the president has said during the campaign. So far, he has delivered on his campaign promises, and has demonstrated that he cannot be reasoned with.

Some of us gave us him a chance, but now it's clear he's not going to change. If we don't take action now and prevent him from being normalized soon, it will be too late.

Nobody likes comparisons with Hitler, but I think in 30 years we may very well view Trump in a similar light — if I were there, I would've said something, why didn't anybody stop him?

How much faster would a cloud-based compiler/builder have to be for you to consider switching ?!

Assume that we pull the source tree transparently, from a git, or using a local file system hook.

It works, if you don't want to think and just get results. But today there are calculators for that, so I'd like it if they teach them how to think, not to follow.
Yeah I suppose it's not really tractable to automatically infer the total behavior of a program (halting problem?)... I had some kind of weird strace like mechanism in mind..

Perhaps static analysis to see which library functions are linked in the package (require symbols in all binaries) and then having a set of default policies per-package based on those (including like you said, "this program never calls X, is not in category Y, therefore it doesn't need to be able to write to /path/to/Z" and so on)..

I dunno. Ideas

It is something I was never able to do. It is clear that to really make it in life, idealist have to dial down their inner voice - a lot.

I do not think that, given the chance, I would ever be able to work for/with people like Peter Thiel. But I have great respect for educated, smart, strong and generous people, who are able to work with those who doubt evolution, who doubt climate change, or who put their archaic beliefs above those of others and decide how they should live their life.
But the world it seems is increasingly fractured, and a lot of doors open up for those able to work efficiently with the other team, or outside of any team.

The possibility of bugs is something that the defence can argue - the court would need to find beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty.

You underestimate the complexity and depth of Windows. There's a TON of forms and code out there and you literally cannot just port that 15-30 year old C code to C# without taking a step back to think about the design and functionality of the new screen. There's a LOT of work that goes into each transition from ancient Win32 to a modern interface.

Worse still, Instagram is on a collision course with SnapChat [1].

> Mark Zuckerberg talked about the long-term strategy for Instagram’s growth, and the fact that in a few months, the company created a new product identical to Snapchat’s Stories that already has more than the 110 million users as Snapchat’s entire app is reported to have:

>> Over the next five years, we’re going to keep building ecosystems around our apps that a lot of people are already using. Growth and engagement on Instagram have been strong. We announced in December that Instagram now has over 600 million monthly actives and recently passed 400 million daily actives. Instagram Stories reached 150 million daily actives just five months after the launch, and we’ve added new features like Boomerang and Live into Stories and I’m excited to see that continue to grow.

While the numbers are impressive, it seems they may already have plateaued. Nothing wrong with that--if the addressable market is limited, it limits them too. However, the problem with a plateau is that everyone starts eating into your stagnant market share. Adding premium services results in higher churn. Adding advertising results in higher churn.

Remains to be seen if they can double down with the IPO capital injection but so far we haven't seen much beyond the gimmicky SnapChat Spectacles.
