Probably 7 hours straight. It was for an optimized C++ class that I took in my grad program and the particle system project was due. I had bad time management but I was also not t hat familiar with C++ (I knew the basics but not things like SIMD or bit-shifting) so it took longer than others. At the end of the day, I was able to get the particle system working and optimized but it wasn't as up to par as some of the other people in the class and I got a C
Maybe a big L2 cache is nice, but overall performance is all that really matters. I suspect the figures we have seen are from running the chip hot with a fancy cooler.

(1% is likely to small to make a difference, but a fun thought experiment).

Forbes:

Obese men rack up an additional $1,152 a year in medical spending, especially for hospitalizations and prescription drugs, Cawley and Chad Meyerhoefer of Lehigh University reported in January in the Journal of Health Economics. Obese women account for an extra $3,613 a year. Using data from 9,852 men (average BMI: 28) and 13,837 women (average BMI: 27) ages 20 to 64, among whom 28 percent were obese, the researchers found even higher costs among the uninsured: annual medical spending for an obese person was $3,271 compared with $512 for the non-obese.”

Making the cost impact all the more troubling is the fact that, unlike smokers, obese people tend to live almost as long as those who keep their weight under control. "Smokers die early enough that they save Social Security, private pensions, and Medicare" trillions of dollars", said Duke's Eric Finkelstein. "But mortality isn't that much higher among the obese."

Right, and places like Texas, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Montana are not included in the Midwest. The point isn't that the wind belt region makes up exactly 1/5 of the population, but that there are many people there that shouldn't be dismissed because they aren't in the most densely populated cities.
> I remember being quite frustrated in 1.x while attempting to write a data-access layer and having to use lots of casts to write reusable code.

Yeah, I hated the 1.x days, as well for the same reasons. I ended up using a template tool to generate strongly-typed collections to avoid all of the ugly casts every where.

Still, .Net 1.x was better than what I had available before, which was ASP & VBScript. Now that was a horrid environment.

> NPR and PBS

It saddens me to see you say this about our publicly funded (yes, they also have corporate sponsors) institutions. These two are some of the least biased and factually accurate news organizations in the US.

If you had used CNN and MSNBC I think that would support your argument. But I challenge you to find a more transparent news organization than NPR which consistently asks difficult questions to people of all sides.

It also happens to be one of the few news organizations that is trying to bridge the gap between the right and the left, by doing great stories going straight to voters on both sides of the equation.

Don't put NPR into the same slimed bucket as FOX, CNN and MSNBC. They are nowhere near the same.

Well, they could. They could have the slickest UI and the best search experience. But Steam brings in staggering profits as-is. Valve doesn't need to do much of anything, unless a serious competitor arises. This is the problem with "benevolent monopolies" like Valve and Google. All is well when they're making users happy. But when they aren't, there's no accountability, incentive, or alternative.

This is merely an anecdote but I've had knee pain most of my life (since age 8 or 9).

I started doing squats in my late 20s and by the time I reached my body weight I've never had knee pain since. I'm in my mid-30s now.

I do recognize that with bad form and overloading your knees in the wrong way the result could easily have been completely blown out knees.
Facebook Phreaks and the Fight to Reclaim Time and Attention
I haven't followed this story but if they deployed an Ubuntu/debian based distro over CentOS/RHEL then they were asking for trouble. In my experience, the commercial vendors who release software for Linux almost always target RedHat-based distros first, and often only.
I don't agree with it being a sign of people getting offended on the behalf of others.

Apart from that, I am offended not just because it's disrespectful towards a particular minority.

Core complaints of article (please add any that I missed):

1. Steam receives dozens of releases a day and it's difficult for developers/publishers to make their title stand-out without performing marketing.

2. Author perceives that Steam's display algorithm results in display of outliers (very good/bad).

3. Very low quality titles are released/being sold by Steam.

4. Reviews are a very poor metric as reviewers can be shills or rate content poorly out of pettiness or malice.

5. Author thinks that staff-curated titles are the solution.

My responses:

RockPaperShotgun is a game review site. Reviewing games is how they manage to make ad revenue (well, besides click-bait articles). If the defense is that more content comes out than RockPaperShotgun can review, then RockPaperShotgun should hire more people. If that's cost prohibitive, and there's market demand for it, then why are they asking Steam to do it?

1. Welcome to selling anything.

2. I don't know if this is true; I'm not rejecting this claim, but I'd love to see the data.

3. Quantifying "good enough to sell" is a risky game. I'm okay with spending $5 (most of a beer at a bar) on something kind of buggy if it's amusing for 30 minutes. For someone else, that amount may be double or $0 on principle.

4. If this subproblem gets solved without background checks on reviewers, you have a serious business that Amazon/Yelp/etc would love to buy from you.

5. Beyond catching content that simply _does not do what it says on the box_, this is all personal taste.

And as an aside, there's a "curious" market that exists in low-quality games that have DLC/content that ends up on the Steam Community Market (Steam gets a % of each transaction), so the "how did a broken game end up on Steam?" question has more depth than a casual observer would guess.
Anecdotal, but I use Skype for Business every day without any bugs/issues, as does the rest of my company (~50 people, lots of remote workers + liberal WFH policy).

> Second, as previously mentioned, the predominant pattern over time is decline not gentrification. Thus, it is difficult for the model, at least in Chicago, to separate a very local phenomenon like gentrification, from a more global phenomenon like decline. Because all cities are modeled simultaneously, these predictions are also weighted not only by the Chicago trend, but by the trend throughout the sample.

Why would you do that? Housing trends in Philadelphia or NYC have nothing to do with housing trends in Chicago so modeling all cities simultaneously seems blatantly wrong.

Right, but Signal's servers see who you're communicating with, and they're the equivalent of the intermediate mail servers here.
The language complexity comparison based on the number of pages in the spec is incredibly not useful and disingenuous.

The Java specification is actually a fairly good specification and also covers a great deal of the runtime (of which Scala gets a free ride).

The C specification is 500 or so pages.

IMO the Go specification is sorely lacking in details (albeit I must confess written in a much more modern and pithy way). It also doesn't have legacy baggage. This isn't to say Go is bad or good but you shouldn't base your decision on the length of the spec (particularly when formatting also plays a large part).

BTW if you are looking for close to the best of both Go and Scala (an in between) take a serious hard look at OCaml. Yes OCaml multicore is not done but it is coming. And in ref to the authors mention of being explicit IMO OCaml is the most explicit language I know (ironic given it has incredibly good type inference).... Oh and for completeness its specification is 657 pages. I actually learned most of the language by reading the spec.
And you're misusing it.

Ask HN: Would it be possible to crawl the web to mask one's identity?
Given the current amount of tracking one is subjected to when using the internet, would it be possible to write a crawler that would impersonate you doing all kinds of things, so that your actual browsing would be lost in a sea of random events?
>It really doesn't. There are severe limits on what JS downloaded from some random site can do via a browser on your local device.

That's missing the point.

With respect to tracking a user, most of those restrictions don't matter. Your browser does download/execute untrusted, unsigned, arbitrary, ephemeral code that can do any kind of tracking it wants.

Agree.

I sense I am getting old and grumpy but there is something to learn here: there seems to be an increasing number of people, even in open source, who just want stuff to work.

I just want Ubuntu, dropline gnome, updated drivers, backed by a commercial vendor that I can pay a reasonable amount to to make sure they never let designers, ux people, product managers etc experiment with my desktop. Polishing it like Ubuntu originally did was totally ok though.

I don't want "spatial navigation" in Gnome. I don't want to have to think application or document" when I hit alt-tab, or having to wait for a (IMO, I know some people love this feature, but bear with my rant here) retarded alt-tab to understand that I want to switch to a document under the app I have switched to, then wait again for it to slide out nicely.

No! I want alt tab to switch through my last used windows. If it looks really nice, bonus.

I want my drivers to work. Etc.

And most of all: I don't want Linux to copy Mac! If I want a Mac I can get my boss to get me one!
How to be paid as a startup consultant
I would like to start a business as Startup Consultancy. That would provide feedback, an external point of view, assistance and support for people in order for them to have more chance to succeed in their startup.
However startups have no money to start with. So it's hard to make them pay as little as 5oo€/$500 per month for this kind of service.

What are the different way to make money for this kind of consultancy in the short or long term ?
Perhaps if expectations were set before rolling out a new system, that IT Support would attend every meeting ten minutes early to get things working, conference system decision-makers would have priorities better aligned with the rest of the organization. Of course you could plan for a "Phase 2" in which mandatory attendance would cease, but that would be based on performance rather than timing.

I don't like Go Templates. My issue is that you can't have small calculations easily. You'd have to add a lot of helper functions or prepare everything before passing to template engine. Now there is too much coupling. And not that fun. This one allowing inline Go code solves that issue.

Well, if we can't have privacy, at least lets make it clear that we DO want it and do what we can to have it.

Not being able to defend ourselves doesn't mean that we should give up.

A crowd can gather in front of a building and demand changes, unarmed and shouting. They may be heard or not, but still they fight. Sometimes the crowd is really huge and the other side has no option but to hear.

Use Firefox. Use uBlock Origin. Use uMatrix or NoScript if you can. Use HTTPS Everywhere. Use DecentralEyes and Privacy Settings (an addon to streamline setting the cryptic browser settings in favor of your security and privacy).

If you can, edit text fields through an external editor using things like Vimperator/Pentadactyl C-i command or extensions such as Its All Text or Wasavi.

Use a firewall. Use a firewall in your phone as well.

Search through DuckDuckGo or Startpage. Use F-Droid apps on your Android device, it even has a privacy conscious browser called Privacy Browser, a great and encryption friendly email client called K-9 and key wallet called OpenKeychain. Use Free Software.

Drop the use of Google Drive and Dropbox in favor of solutions such as Syncthing.

Use a password manager and strong passwords.

Fight the good fight. Using this tools you can still enable resources for websites where you need them, literally unblocking the web with each use case. It works if you need to work and learn through browsers. For anything else, use Tor Browser. Maintain an installed version. Open it and update it often.

Privacy is a right that we must fight for everyday and, sincerely, its an honor to be part of the resistance in this dark age.

User rights actvists know how hard it can be to teach people the importance of this things. Its hard and not always effective and often backfires.

If you are a developer, don't put your tail between your legs and accept that you must for monetary reasons circumvent user rights, talk with your team, be the guy with weird thoughts and be proud. You know the importance and they don't. Isn't it like this when a math teacher struggles with his younglings? They just don't know. Be patient.

We can BE the change we want.

They effectively have no choice.

Right now there are two major toolkits for DEs, GTK and Qt. And the former is under the control of Gnome, and thus more and more Gnome-isms will make their way into it.

So either the already notoriously understaffed XFCE has to fork GTK2, or move to Qt.

Effectively we are learning that there is yet another way to hijack freedoms that the FSF do not consider, code churn. Or if one want to be a bit conspiratorial, code churn is what the FSF relies upon to maintain its other freedoms.

Thank you, this is the best guide I've seen so far. It's much simpler to install and use. However, like you, I'm having some problems. Adding the key to the ssh-agent asks for a PKCS password and always comes back with "agent refused cooperation". I also can't log in to a host that has that SSH key, but maybe that's because I have too many keys loaded...

> weapons are still essentially freely available in the USA (at least it looks that way from over here in Europe)

They're really not. Automatic weapons made after 1986 are banned; automatic weapons made before that date are extremely expensive and require permission of local law enforcement and revocation of one's Fourth Amendment rights. Firearms may no longer be sold by mail, as they were for most of our nation's history. Firearms may not be sold by private parties across state lines. All commercial sales require a background check. In many states it's illegal to sell a firearm privately; in some states you can't even legally give a weapon to a family member as a gift. Many states and some localities impose unreasonable restrictions on magazine size and cosmetic features. Some states impose registration requirements, which means that law enforcement has the ability to confiscate all legal weapons at will.

> This can be seen as really effective lobbying given how many times it has been argued that weapons shouldn't be so easily available anymore without any changes to existing laws.

I think the conditions above indicate how ineffective the pro-gun lobby has been, given that almost none of it is constitutional.
