Your answer would be absolutely perfect if you added "from a remote server". I was slightly confused, wondering what kind of notifications an app is supposed to receive.

Thanks for answering. Your answer is great.

Also, now I'm curious how they do it while sending only minimal identifying data. I was wrong thinking that it would be immediately clear. I wonder if TheCoreh is correct about proxying.

Oh, and you don't need to answer if you don't want to. I can do my own research.

Anecdatum, but the game I worked on (Tom Clancys The Division) will perform much better on a quad core than a dual core. We're CPU bound long before GPU bound.
Yes you are right, this is the exception.

Although, thinking about it from the point of view of someone being Convicted of a crime that never happened is fair enough, But when someone is not convicted of a crime that never happened we are not 'letting a guilty person go free' so both options in the ultimatum are broken with this.

On the contrary, industries that can be converted to a shift work model are also suited to this. Vox did a similar analysis to the NYT last year [0], and one thing they pointed out was that the wage gap among pharmacists nearly went away when pharmacies changed from being independent one-man shops to being part of large chains such as Walmart and CVS that hire pharmacists to work staggered shifts.

The Walmartization of professions results in higher wages for women.

For anyone that finds it beautiful isn't there a bit of humanisation and definition involved (for example the Sine function used in deriviation uses 'pi' instead of 90 degrees), not to mention Sine is a human created function. You could have e to pi (90 * -1) too.. or a different method to define angles instead of having 360 degrees (base 60)
Not to mention that most welfare is run through state programs - moving to another state probably entails loads of paperwork with the local welfare/medicare/medicaid office depending on what program you are on.
Unless you mean something different from the usual multilinear algebra meaning of "exterior algebra", xy^yz is zero. (It contains two y's.) I think that you must actually mean Clifford algebras. (But there are also signs when in characteristic ≠ 2.)

> Games aren't optimized well beyond 2 cores, with games that are optimized for more than 4 cores being particularly unheard off.

How much of that is a chicken-and-egg problem? Gamers buying hardware look for clock speed over core count because that's what today's games benefit from, therefore developers don't optimize for higher core counts because customers don't have them now.

> Games aren't an application that supports parallelism that well since your sound, physics, AI and graphics threads all have to be synced within a single frame otherwise everything falls apart.

I've often heard that repeated, but I'm not sure I totally understand why. I admittedly haven't looked at anything resembling a modern game codebase -- my last time in that space was eons ago in programmer years -- but my instincts would say that doesn't necessarily have to be true, or at least not for that reason.

Graphics and sound kinda make sense, in that you're trying to push out pixels/samples at a fast & regular rate and they need to be perfectly aligned. Though does anything not primarily rely on GPU (which is itself massively parallel) for most graphics work nowadays? Given that, I'd assume the CPU's part of graphics is mostly a support role moving stuff on and off the GPU.

For aspects like AI and physics, I'm not convinced they do have to be locked to frame rate like you say. Why can't they run independently and continuously and let the game take advantage of the "most recent" state of the world as often as needed to match the frame rate? There may be design/architectural reasons this isn't done, but I don't see any fundamental reasons that it couldn't.

Maybe there are factors I'm just missing or not aware of, I'd love to see a good solid analysis of why this is true, if it is.
Fortunately there are still a few hassle free international high speed trains in Europe. Travel between France and Germany isn't subject to any special security measures. You just get on the train. Sometimes the train stops at the border for a really quick check and that's it.
It's unbelievably flexible though.

JUSTICE STEVENS, dissenting.

A defendant can be compelled to produce material evidence that is incriminating. Fingerprints, blood samples, voice exemplars, handwriting specimens, or other items of physical evidence may be extracted from a defendant against his will. But can he be compelled to use his mind to assist the prosecution in convicting him of a crime? I think not. He may in some cases be forced to surrender a key to a strongbox containing incriminating documents, but I do not believe he can be compelled to reveal the combination to his wall safe -- by word or deed.

I publish using leanpub and KDP (amazon kindle) for ebooks and using Lightning Source for paper books. I used Lulu 10 years ago but their customer service was appalling back then so I moved to LS, which gets the print book in almost all good online stores anyway.

I used to sell books on my own site as well until a few years back when EU created the stupid VAT on private electronic purchases that requires stores to adjust price according to the country of the buyer. I figured it's less hassle to just use leanpub for that.
Don't forget classified ads either. Historically the rule of thumb is that subscriptions and newsstand sales would more-or-less cover the cost of ink and paper. Ads (and especially classified ads, which were an enormous money spinner) paid for the actual journalism.

The moment the internet gutted ad revenue, this stopped being viable.

As you say, journalism made the news prestigious, but the news didn't actually make money either; it was just there to get eyeballs onto the ads.
For most reasonable search regexes, it's reasonably fast if your repository is already cached in memory. However, it's still fairly heavyweight, and the cost of running even these reasonable searches hundreds or thousands of times a second becomes significant.

When you add to this the fact that it's possible to deliberately construct regexes that are much more complicated to evaluate (particularly if you allow extensions beyond a true regular language) - potentially being a DoS target - and many repos won't be cached when the search comes in (or caching them would also be very expensive), the costs just get higher.

In contrast, a simple keyword search can be performed with a predictable, low cost, so it's no wonder that they'd prefer to implement this instead.
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13632352 . It's not a simple matter of just sending an email. You can't send patches via gmail (because it autoconverts tabs to spaces), and setting up a client is involved, hard (impossible for some), and should be totally unnecessary.

I despise this "I'm happy to exclude people too incompetent to do X" attitude. I often mentor people into FOSS. They start off pretty incompetent with the tooling. With a bit of nudging they end up making high quality contributions. A person's usage of email has no bearing on their, say, Python skills. Nor does a person's usage of GitHub. These are tools to get the job done, they are not the job themselves. Tools should be easy to use. Github isn't exactly easy, but it's much easier than patch MLs.

Maybe you're unclear on exactly what a whistleblower means. Definition (by google): "a person who informs on a person or organization engaged in an illicit activity."

So by definition, you can only whistleblow if the government (or company) is doing ILLEGAL (and often IMMORAL) things. So you may not find many people on HN who are too interested in arguing about the downsides of whisteblowing; it'd almost be like asking what the upsides of spousal abuse are.

um, no? PEP-512 ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0512/ ) is pretty clear about it:

"The code review history does not have the same implicit backup mechanism as the repository itself. That means a daily backup of code review history should be done so that it is not lost in case of any issues with GitHub."

Dual Core CPUs are still 50% or so of the current gaming PC audience based on steam hardware surveys, chicken and egg or not but until 4+ core CPUs make the bulk of the market game developers will optimize their games for 2-4 cores.

And then we get into the realm of multiplayer where you don't just need to sync things within a single computer but between multiple computers all over the world.

I'm guessing I read several Medium articles a month. Some of them are really well produced - Transit's engineering post on beautifying their maps, Remix's post about public transportation planning and ILP, and Karpathy's post on backprop come to mind. So I hope Medium sticks around because I get a lot of value out of them. Would I pay for this value? I think I actually would, but maybe only for stories I finish and think are good. For example I would pay a lot for the stories above but I would almost rather Medium pay me for posts which turn out to be thinly veiled marketing that I stop reading halfway through (I realize Transit's and Remix's posts could be construed as such but hey, the technical content was deep). I suppose a flat fee is better for the business but I could be more convinced to plunk down the credit card at the beginning if I was charged based on usage, like time spent reading on the site.

Also, let me just take a moment to once again rage against Business Insider for writing a pretty bad article. The whole thing seemed purposefully antagonistic and full of sarcastic language. Maybe it's because BI is the exact type of operation Medium is trying to kill, but I think those MAU numbers actually warrant some optimism! To be fair, Medium probably should have provided some people to counterbalance all those angry publishers...

VC David Hornik on Raising Kids in the Bay Area (mp3)
Yeah, you can have the same thing with degrees if you use a different exponent base than e:

e^((pi/180)ix) = (e^(pi/180))^ix = E^ix

and therefore

E^180i = -1

where E is about 1.0176065.

The particular base e has some nice properties, though, like that its rate of change d/dx e^ix at a given point x is just i e^ix. The rage of change for E^ix, on the other hand, is d/dx E^ix = (pi/180) i E^ix, which is a little less "natural". This strange fact -- that using radians makes the expression e^ix = cos x + i sin x have a nice derivative -- is one of the reasons why mathematicians like to define these functions in terms of radians instead of degrees.

The article appears to be stretching and reaching quite a bit to substantiate this proposition that the NRA is not a civil rights group for all gun owners. For example, this is one of the examples they provided to support their proposition:

> DeJarion Echols was caught with forty-four grams of crack (along with $5,700 that was computed as another 450 grams) and an unloaded rifle under his bed, according to Families Against Mandatory Minimums. The resulting sentence, handed down in 2006, was twenty years in federal prison:

If we can agree that the federal government has no business wasting taxpayer dollars to lock people--who cause no harm to anyone else through recreational drug use--up in for-profit prisons, then that is the problem here.

Further, discrimination does exist: prescription drug use is an illegal-yet-ignored marketplace of predominately White, upper-middle-class-on-up users who are not targeted by DEA enforcement the way street drugs are. This is consistent with the the Nixon administration's goal of targeting Blacks with the War on Drugs.

Conclusions: discrimination and civil rights abuses do exist, but this particular article about the NRA is really desperately reaching for examples to support the idea here.

great, now look up what "dissent" means. Dissent is legal mumbo jumbo for "stuff that ain't law."

When you have a panel of judges, we go with the decision of the majority of judges. The decision of the minority of the judges is still published under the heading "dissent." It isn't the ruling and it doesn't affect the law, but it's published just to note that they disagreed and their reasons.

There are some 5th amendment encryption cases where there is a question about whether the government has shown that there is a reasonable certainty that the files contain the evidence being sought. In those cases the 5th amendment would act to protect the info. That doesn't seem to be the case here and in that case, it seems like clear law that he would have to give up the data.

Seems to me the 5th should protect him. Question is, is that a good thing?

Should law enforcement have a right to search through court orders? In a world of unbreakable locks it seems very hard to get justice unless the law can do proper searches. If we end up in a world of unbreakable encryption everywhere, seems to me, criminal activity will have huge benefits. If we can't control crime, we can't have a just society. We can't protect a individuals rights if they are undermined by criminals. Of course, it's also hard if the state has too much power to protect and individuals rights. But somewhere we need pragmatic compromises.
