> Of course you have a right to say who comes and goes in your neighbors properties and what kinds of things they are allowed to do, as I am sure you would insist were they to open a concert venue or dog fighting arena.

Noise complaint is a valid argument up to a certain point. Of course, I don't want anyone to have a concert upstairs.

Don't get me wrong. I am no fan of Uber or Airbnb or many of the things they represent. However, we must agree that the ends do not justify the means. This is just one step away from FUD like "Oh, if we have Airbnb we might have {{insert trendy to hate -- black, Hispanic, Arabic, Chinese, Canadian}} people staying over for the weekend next door and who knows what they're going to do to me in my sleep". I think if you subscribe to this idea then we should throw the baby away with the bath water as well. Nobody is allowed to visit anyone in their homes. Absolutely no parties even if you own your home. Only the legal registered occupant may be present at any time (I guess we will add provisions for EMS and law enforcement).

I will agree with you the day I can get a fellow passenger kicked out of a train or an aeroplane for failing to quiet their devil spawn that won't stop wailing for over n hours.

I am not accusing you of malice but please realize that the anti-Airbnb rhetoric is no more of a "grass-roots" movement than the so-called "tea party movement". Yes, there are people with valid concerns. No, they are not the ones driving this train. It appears we share a common goal with "them" but we do not.
You have a point.

Details - I build weight nodels related to food dairies. I have a few dozen redditors ( mostly from the loseit subreddit ) who have signed up. They send me their food dairy and weight everyday via the free WeightGreat.com service, and I then build models.

From the data I have looked at, I can say supper timing is correlated to weight gain. Moreover if the supper is sourced from mostly carbs ( sugar/starch, not fiber ), weight gain is statistically significant.
There was a study done at USC on humans that shows an effect on humans as well as mice. I don't think there enough evidence yet on lifespan, but there is starting to be a critical mass of compelling evidence of the benefit in regards to the immune system. I haven't read the full study, just the press release...

We can't do the thing suggested upthread, eliminating dependence on all consumable energy sources by harnessing current wind and solar technology. Ultimately I agree that we have to find a way to do it. But there's a virulent belief that we can do it with technology that is being produced today, or might be produced in the near future if demand changed. No.

Font is about readability. You can use it to convey emotion and style as well but readability must come first. It takes carefull tuning to achieve that in a stylistic font and I doubt it is possible at all in a font like this.
The kerning in this thing is just painful.
Additionally the rendering engine has to be even more complex then that stuff already is.

This entire thing is an anti feature, it looks worse and is less readable, makes the implementation of stuff harder, and nobody needs it, but hey some people can feel smug.
I live in LA and travel to the Bay for work frequently. I can walk to a Metro station from my house in Highland Park in 10 minutes and be at Union Station in 13 minutes. If I could spend 3 hours on the train to SF from Union instead of driving to Burbank, arriving an hour before my flight, and then spending an hour on a plane, I would do it every time.
Actually, UHF TV channels 38-51 (614-698). Channel 37 is the radio astronomy hole which now gets to be part of the guard band between TV and wireless. So in one sense the outcome is fairly optimal in that there is less spectrum wasted on the guard band.

They actually detained him because he didn't have a Visa to be in the US, which is a requirement for anyone, even those who would not normally need a visa, who has been to Iran and a select few other countries in the last few years.

That isn't to say the entire situation wasn't bullshit, just that it wasn't the case of the Borders agent randomly stopping him for being in Iran.

> If you are doing an order by on a single table on an indexed column, is that expensive?

No, but it sure is unusual. I don't know a lot of folks who only reference a single table in their queries. (Folks who do are generally using key/value stores, not RDBMS's.)

> If you are doing an order by on a clustered index, wouldn't the order by be essentially free?

Assuming you're using an identity (sequential) field, that's also incredibly unusual. The clustering key rarely has value to the select query.

Of course there is no server, since we are talking about local. I agree with others that the title is misleading. I looked at the project for a while to realize that it's just a local command line interface to storing objects in sqlite.

While I am sure there are use cases for this, it is not correct to say this is "serverless".

By that standard you can call literally ANYTHING "serverless".

For starters, this coffee I'm drinking right now is "serverless". It does its job well, completely without a server!
+1 on VBA... I don't care so much for it, but I've seen some truly amazing and impressive feats in Excel + VBA. And while I'm sure it could be done with Python in LO, the rewrite for a lot of people would be limiting.

That said, I'm surprised they wouldn't try to support Office via Wine for those users that needed it. Also, for information exchange, the defaults for LO changed to MS Office formats for a given organization... though that still has some issues.
Nobody has mentioned the "Scroogled" short story yet? I really hope this is not the future that expects us.

> One thing that has seemingly changed for SQL server 2016 is the licensing cost... $14,256 per core now??? Or is that only in a 2-pack?

That's for a 2-core pack with Software Assurance (maintenance), so it's roughly half that. It's the same cost it's been since SQL Server 2012 when Microsoft switched to per-core licensing.

Prior to that, it was per-socket, but still roughly the same cost for quad-core servers.

The examples you chose are interesting, not only because they reveal an obvious bias.

I think the correct interpretation of the various amendments is to view them in conjunction with the ninth. That is, the default should be to argue in good faith about what rights the amendment is attempting to preserve, not nit-picking them to find technicalities that the state can use to limit or restrict someone's rights.

Your hint at the 2nd Amendment is one such example: it's clear from reading other writings by the Founding Fathers that the 2nd Amendment was written to allow an individual to own firearms. Likewise, the 5th Amendment should be interpreted to allow an individual to refuse anything a court orders him to do that would force him to reveal evidence or testimony that could be used to incriminate him. I would argue that the entire point of that part of the 5th is to prevent exactly what is going on here: torture (involuntary imprisonment without conviction) used to coerce a confession.

Hopefully this issue is decided properly, as we are rapidly approaching a time where it may be possible to do a fMRI-like scan of someone's brain to determine guilt/innocence. Should we allow a court, with only a search warrant, the ability to scan our brain and possibly uncover other evidence of crimes?
Xenophobia != surveillance state or totalitarianism

For example japan or poland are fairly xenophobic and isolationist, but they don't practice a surveillance state or ask for your social media accounts at the border. Foreigners are free to enter as long as they don't overstay their welcome.

I would say that xenophobia is the natural state of homogeneous populations. Everything different is treated with suspicioun, but not necessarily overt opposition or hatred. Xenophobia only gets used as leverage by politicians to amplify and deflect other issues (such as income inequality) onto other groups. Fix those issues and some latent xenophobia isn't going to turn into problems.
Ask HN: What tips and tricks do you have for new HNers?
I'm pretty new, but here's a few things I've learned

- Use `>` (not code blocks) for blockquotes [1]
- Read and consult the Guidelines and FAQ
- If you dislike the "brutalist" aesthetic, you can use a userstyle to improve your experience. I use [2]
- If you would prefer for comment to still be shown, but their replies hidden, you can change that with CSS [3]
- If you want automatic code highlighting in code blocks, you can use a simple userscript [4]

[1] You can use this script to automatically convert `>` to blockquotes on page load. Could probably be done better but it works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[...document.querySelectorAll('.comment [class^="c"]')]
.filter(x => /(^|>)\s*&gt;/m.test(x.innerHTML))
.forEach(x => {
const out = x.innerHTML
.replace(/(^|>)\s*&gt;(.+?)(?=<|$)/mg, '$1<blockquote><p>$2</p></blockquote>')
.replace(/(?:<p>(<blockquote>))|(?:(<\/blockquote>)<\/p>)/g, '$1$2')
.replace(/<\/blockquote>[\s\n]*<blockquote>/g, '')
.replace(/(?:<i>(<blockquote>))|(?:(<\/blockquote>)<\/i>)/g, '$1$2')
.replace(/(?:(<blockquote>)<i>)|(?:<\/i>(<\/blockquote>))/g, '$1$2');
x.innerHTML = out;
});

"Part of the motivation here is to avoid writing two parsers."

Have you considered implementing a parser generator instead or taking the higher-order route and constructing a parser from higher-order primitives? Both ways provide a lot of flexibility to produce different trees for different problems, save a bit of time and a lot of code. Languages are mostly sequences, alternations, repetitions and characters anyway.
I thought the title was pretty accurate -- the article had the content I expected and hoped for after seeing the headline.

It's probably a cultural thing. In India...We ate after 8 all the time. 6.00 is when you get the last installment of caffeine..as tea or coffee. But then again, we were not allowed to come back home until after sunset. Play outside till sunset, homework time afterward, dinner and then a little walk/tv time and then off to bed. Elsewhere...Asian outdoor markets thrive until midnight. In my suburban town in America, everything is dead by 8. It's a tad depressing actually.
That's a real concern after 16 months, assuming the password was obscure enough. And I doubt a judge would be amused, raising the specter of indefinite detention without trial.
No, you're just an observant enough reader to be able to see past the text of the work and appreciate the subtext.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtext

Lots of people aren't, so it's not uncommon to see people whose appreciation of some works never gets beyond the surface level.

And sometimes they're so inattentive that even the text itself is lost on them. My standard example of that is Bruce Springsteen's song "Born in the USA," which is widely understood (in America, anyway) as a bombastic, "we're number one!" patriotic anthem, played at political rallies and sports events and the like. If you pay attention to the actual lyrics (http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bruce-springsteen-lyrics/born-...), however, it's clearly a song about how the American system screws the little guy. But most people don't listen beyond the upbeat, poppy chorus, so they miss Springsteen's entire point.
That presupposes that you can accurately determine exactly what qualifies as "safe" in advance.
"Onward, Christian soldiers" is not about physical war, but about spiritual warfare. Killing isn't usually performed by singing hymns, for example:

Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
No, just tired of all the virtue signalling that left-wingers are doing these days, when Obama merely continued the shitty policies that Bush started (and Clinton wasn't any better), and our Liberal government is continuing most of the shitty policies the Harper government started, and is even breaking election promises already.

Canada is in general more willing to criticize our politicians on both sides, but the virtue signalling has been out of control since the US elected a president that says mean things, but is otherwise not much different than any US government of the last 35 or so years.

Edit - Should also add, I vote left more than right. I believe in progressive economic policy. However if the left doesn't get their shit together, and just keeps pretending that identity politics actually help, keeps pretending there isn't a problem with globalism and excess immigration, the result will be disastrous. Right wingers are at least seeing the problem, probably because they've been largely excluded from power in many countries for the last decades. I don't like their solutions, but burying your head in the sand doesn't help either. Sorry for the rant.
In the near future I expect random border searches to include all internet traffic associated with you. It's going to get hard for the average person to evade it. Your techniques won't be nearly enough.

One-Third Don’t Know Obamacare and Affordable Care Act Are the Same
Assuming late dinning is sinning after 20:00, we adopted it in the summer. It definitely improved hapiness, because we did not had to watch the time and could leave playground when we felt like leaving it. (Our playground even had wifi for parental hapiness. Kids were happy to be with friends.) It is safe to assume the health got better too, because we had more sun and kids had more exercise.

We adopted it by not feeling like leaving and taking food with us.

Dunno... I manage to use nvenc for transcodes in windows without the UI freezing. I had similar issues with multiple monitors the last I tried... off server my htpc runs ubuntu, and I swear at least once a month I consider switching it back to windows (gigabyte brix hardware, all intel, like nuc), and the hdmi audio driver via intel/ubuntu is a consistent source of pain.

I love it for server-side workloads headless... but UI on linux still isn't nearly as consistent as it is on even windows, let alone mac.

They work nicely for me. I haven't looked at the code in years, so there may be some dependencies, likely minor, maybe just in documentation, on some of my other macros.

There may be some subtle bugs, but I haven't found any. If you find a bug and know just what usage encounters the bug, then don't do that usage again! Or fix the bug!

There is enough documentation so that you can see the ideas -- actually they are all quite simple. The macros were a good TeX exercise.

Thank you, this kind of design doc is exactly what I was looking for. I'm not really familiar with Microsoft's ecosystem, but I mentioned it in the blog post because I suspected that they had the most advanced technology in this domain.

From that doc, which I plan to read thoroughly:

This enables the second attribute of syntax trees. A syntax tree obtained from the parser is completely round-trippable back to the text it was parsed from. From any syntax node, it is possible to get the text representation of the sub-tree rooted at that node.

This is true with my representation too, but I don't actually attach "trivia" to trees. Instead I just have every node store a bunch of span IDs. And then if you want to reconstruct the text, then you just take min(span_ids of node) and max(span_ids of node) and then concatenate those spans.

I also think the name "lossless syntax tree" makes sense, because they are describing very specific properties that ASTs and CSTs / parse trees don't have.

They also have an immutable property which is cool. I recall that Hjelsberg had a video on this:

How is "Sidd Bikkannavar" even remotely "Muslim sounding"? It's a Hindu name. He probably shortened it from "Siddarth" Bikkannavar to Sidd Bikkannavar like most Hindus in foreign countries do. Bikkannavar is a place in Karnataka, India. Maybe that is his parent's place of origin.

Interesting. I tend to recommend the inverse - light meals in the morning / day, and the biggest meal in the evening.

As a EU citizen, I see these events from a bit different angle. I have visited US several times and the atmosphere and behaviour of both the customs officers and the TSA personnel gets more and more overlooking.

I have never went through such extended search but going across a US airport feels really uncomfortable, to the extent I haven't seen in another country (UK comes close, though). The thing is Trump only added a little bit. This is a process that has been evolving for some time already.

I wonder if anything would change if all US travellers to Europe would be given a leaflet explaining:

"As a reciprocal measure for ESTA or Visa process, you are obliged to pay $14 entry fee. Moreover, we will perform an extended search to every fifth American passport holder. During the search, we may seize your devices and ask for your passwords. Not complying may result in a detention up to 24 hours and/or denied entry."
