I actually saw it but forgot to add it to the list. To be honest nvAlt and Quiver are my two favorite and make me sad that I am on Windows and can't use them. They really don't have any good equivalent on other OS.
Hi, my name is Bruno Tesch and I've developed this great new pesticide. Would the government be interested in sponsoring my research?
At a quick glance this looks fairly complete. Anyone want to volunteer to compare the performance to FORTRAN/lapack and c++/eigen?
If you came to that conclusion within a few seconds at the beginning of this article, your diagnostic criteria is basically "uses drugs -> has drug problem". A stopped clock is right twice a day, but is never useful.
Then patch seven fails, and it is re-offered. Pre-cumulative updates, it was very rare for there to be a pre-requisite / dependency list each month.
No, but I find it strange to stop there, and find satisfaction in blaming it on 'poverty'.

Okay, poor people do things that keep them poor. You may call it a "poverty cycle".

Where to go from there? A lot of people reach out for race and genetics pretty quickly. I don't think this holds. What else is there? Economic policy, surely.
Chomsky complains that catching a train from Boston to New York is not any faster than it was for him in the 50's; I'm not expert on US rail but it does seem to be behind if you compare to Europe and Asia's high speed rail networks.

Yes, he writes standards for a living and it shows.
I have been following Lazarus / Free Pascal for years - and, as it turns out, started using it in earnest one week ago. It's great! :)
It has a few standards, which is the problem.

Furthermore, I'm not just talking about the existence of a standard, but the complexity of the standard (C++is v. big), and also how much that standard restricts, and hence results in conformal, predictable code.
> I know you could, as could I. But to what end? Do we really need proof that Microsoft isn't the only company that is capable of major strategic fuck-ups?

Yes, when many in HN and similar online forums pretend it is like that.

Not directly addressed to you, just that it is a common theme.
More of a reason to call that bundling "dumb".

Seriously, think about all the different issues Windows 10 has caused to people's computers. So if one issue damages a computer, they can't send any of the other updates to that model of laptop?

They should be striving towards higher modularity, not a lower one.
In my country vaccination rules are rather strict!

But: I've heard many stories about anti-vaxxer parents who managed to bribe doctors to throw out the vaccination but then do the bookkeeping as the if the child were vaccinated.

And this is the worst imaginable setup... :(

Maybe in richer countries, where the doctors are well payed (by the state or whoever enforces the vaccination rules), this would not be a problem...
Presumably the tunnels could also be used for transit, or maybe even walking/biking in some cases.
I had a similar epiphany about Apple. Basically corporations are all profit seeking entities and we shouldn't look to them to be our saviour. It's not really their agenda.
I almost finished a Bachelor in Business and Economics and worked abroad in a completely different field before starting my career as software developer.

If you have the interest you will pick up the stuff you need for the job fast. Even though many of my colleagues have been programming since childhood I feel that their growth curve has leveled out compared to mine, at the point that we're on par in some areas.
Not really seeing the contradiction. ASLR is still effective where it was always intended to be effective. ASLR is ineffective given an attacker with more control than ASLR was designed to be useful against.
I'd like to know if the "project zero" publishes to everybody the security issues discovered in Google products before Google has a chance to update the software? Or does this policy exist only for the other companies? Can we even know?

DHL is the worst, as a sender you don't notice. But on the receiving end there are numerous things that can go wrong.

And with DHL, there always seems to go something wrong.

I have asked our suppliers to avoid DHL and we just pay them more for proper worldwide service ( UPS / Fedex ).
Yes, I'm sure that's at least part of the reason why he's doing this. He's trying to "learn" about digging (and reaching 5x, 10x higher efficiency) by doing a (hopefully) profitable business around it first.
Does it really slow down medical progress?

One argument is that getting a patent ensures exclusivity to use the technology. In turn, that drastically improves the likelihood of getting a return on any investment dollars. And finally, that attracts a lot more capital than a non-profit or gov't funded agency could typically get.
Well, I didn't have the problem in the case of multiple developers, but then I didn't have git.

One simple way is to enforce the rule that the database definition (schema) should be in the repository, along with a script creating and filling the test database.

When a new version of the database schema is commited, both the code to update dynamically the user database in the software, and the script to create the test database shall be commited along.

Then when you update your sandbox, you can either:

- run the script to reset your test database to the current version (for the revision that is checked out).

- compile and run the software to upgrade your old test database (any version) to the current version.
Wow, that's really interesting! I've been diagnosed with Asperger's, and went on clonazepam (and before, Ativan) and that really helped what I thought was anxiety. I mean, I did notice a direct benefit, and there's no reason to believe you over my doctor, but I'm always interested to alternative explanation as to why meds work.
Fab! Thanks.

Curious: when satellites are ejected this way, is it controlled (as in, do they control the ejection velocity etc.) or is it just "dropped" out?

Well... maybe you could go old-school and just put down a physical server in your local network which hosts the DB?

So basically you have the same setup as with your AWS instance, minus the network latency.

Everyone wants to go fancy and host everything in the cloud nowadays, but a local server for development can be very useful still!
Can you ever really master C++? I've been at it more than 20 years and I'm still delighted to learn new things about the language and the library.
You take public money to do research, any fruits from that money belong to the public. You don't get to start companies and patent the end result and get rich off of our money. If you purely take private money you work in some startup you can do stuff like this. Even then I would argue that understanding or discovering some biological entity should not be patentable.
I consider this as one of his least bright thoughts.

I really hoped he would come with a light rail with shuttles carrying (electrical) cars, containers etc.. This is a thought I had some 16 years ago in an attempt to solve traffic jams. I truly believe cars shouldn't drive on highroads. Unfortunately I don't have the contacts and financial power to even get close to the people who can accomplish this.

If we have a world wide network of light rail, carrying electrical cars etc.. at a speed of about 500 mph it would really be more environmental friendly, as it would be a serious competition for polluting aircrafts.

Imagine: Los Angeles -> San Fransisco in less than 1 hour, in your own car!

I think Elon is one of the single few people in the world capable to make a start with this.
No end-to-end encryption though. Oh well, maybe for 6G?
> It has a few standards, which is the problem.

You mean C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17? Or something else?

If you mean those, I fail to see the problem. The language isn't dead, so it's not static, and it evolves over time. Publishing a new standard every few years is the only way to keep all compilers aligned, rather than each going off in its own "with extra features!" direction.
Do you know who Marco Cantu is? Apparently not. ;)
Of course he bragged about it. He actually wanted people to use his technology to fund other ventures. Whats the point of creating things if no one actually knows about it?
I would disagree. Securing a patent means that further investment is possible.

Yes, one of the two labs discovered CRISPR. OK, now what? It's not a treatment at this point, it's just a technique. So someone has to invest a ton of money to turn the technique into a therapy for humans. And I would bet that investment will absolutely dwarf what's been spent so far.
When I was little I dreamed of visiting stars. But having more data about them will have to do for now.
After fully reading the link above, I first noticed that the author is a psychologist and not also an audiologist. Not saying that to discredit him, other than to point out he might not be the best person to reference, who may not fully understand the research he's reading - especially because they don't mention if he actually has training or personal experience doing the sound therapy/training or offering it to others. Likewise, he references the 28+ clinical trials that AIT links to on their website, however he doesn't go into any of the that research himself to analyze it and tell us why. Yes, we'd have to read all of the referenced material to perhaps start to understand the process -- however unless we've also been trained to offer AIT properly then we can't know if their protocols are flawed --- unless there was, as I wish, an official response by AIT people to outline where the was or may have been problems with their process, including perhaps offering AIT to people who shouldn't have been candidates to begin with.
I haven't seen that appear yet - if you have any problems or comments about the process let us know!
Programming Principles and Practice using C++ 2nd Edition (god what a horrible title to type) is a strange book. It has a lot of great info in it but it is a very hard read. The first 4 or 5 chapters are ok albeit too wordy. But then after that they seem to rocket up in difficultly. Not impossible but damn hard for a beginner.
3D-Printed 'Laugh' Is First Major Artwork to Be Made in Space
Fixed sized integers are useful in two situations (that I can think of); if you're interfacing with a language that doesn't use the same integer size as your C compiler, or if you're relying on integers being a certain width (maybe you're casting between integers and non-integers, or writing a certain number of bytes to a binary file).

I doubt either of these situations come up when dealing with line sizes in a text editor.
Yes Allen B. Downey is an excellent technical writer. His books are very good.
It wasn't quite as 'desperate' and unique an action against the Vichy as is often portrayed, bearing in mind that two years later British forces invaded Vichy-ruled Madagascar with no-holds-barred battles against the French forces there.

There were also extensive operations by the British against the Vichy in Syria and Lebanon, and there again both sides were ruthless.
As is amply covered in the prior HN thread linked from one of my earlier comments, byuu feels himself responsible because he requested the games be shipped in the first place, rather than ship himself and his ripping/scanning rig to Germany.

I get that, if you want to be cheese-paring about it, what you say is in a narrowly technical sense correct. But the motivation here is identical to that which moved my first real boss to cover a $200 parking ticket I incurred through what I'm willing to admit, and stated to him at the time, was inexcusable carelessness on my part in failing to observe a sign. He nonetheless covered the fine, considering that, since I was in a position to make the mistake as a result of carrying out his business, it was reasonable for him to relieve me of the consequence. (Once - his exact words as I recall them were "now, you fuck it up again, you're on your own".)

That's the same kind of motivation I see in byuu's intent to make this situation right with the shipper, instead of blaming him and doing nothing. You can argue if you like that byuu shouldn't feel responsible. But I think we'd all enjoy a better world if more people more often did.
One common mistake is thinking that you need a fully-fleshed-out dataset with real data. You don't. You just need the bare-bones structure with some generic data, which can easily be accomplished with a seed file. Django calls these fixtures: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/initial-data/.

Once the initial data is seeded, you then just need to implement migrations to update the database as the structure is modified. These too are already built into Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/migrations/.

With those in place, every developer can have their own local environment with its own database. I personally use Nanobox (https://nanobox.io) to spin up dev environments with local databases. I then can console into the environment, run the seeding process and any migrations I need too. You just need to set up a version control workflow to keep everybody's codebase in sync.
That always baffled me. I feel like an experienced developer should be like Cypher in The Matrix. "I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead." But I do realize that it's how some people work, even if I don't get it.

In any case, I was talking about the difficulty of making changes to a compiler, not how programmers react to it.
Seems unfair to automatically assume malice.

I once had an international package go missing at some point after clearing customs despite a label declaring its value accurately at $1. I doubt that was due to theft.
And solar panels.
And electric vehicles..
Man thank you very much for this feedback.

1. We started changing that up to say accountability chat-bot. Seems to be working for some.

2. The plans are created by a registered professional. I agree that this should be made more clear on the site. We actually discussed that we were going to add it, somehow that wasn't done. My fault entirely.

3. Okay, this part we didn't think through. But in my conversations with people who have joined so far, they seem to like that i'm also an active competitive bodybuilder, and so is my business partner. Sort of didn't want to make this about me and more about the users/idea.

4. It's not entirely generic. There is a quasi-algorithm that we put together that takes into account the users' weight/height, giving us a bmi and then takes into account how much weight they want to lose and in what time frame. We ended up with a couple categories from this and get the plans created separately for each category. So everyone who joins will fall into one category depending on their preferences... I DO agree very much though that it could be personalized even further and that's something we can charge a premium for.

5. Right now, we don't account for health issues/allergies. As a diabetic, you would have a hard time unless you contacted us directly (we make this easy) and we can figure something out for your. We just launched so we're actually still in the phase of figuring things out that we couldn't prioritize before.

THANK YOU!

Tunnels will be required on Mars to shield from radiation. Getting a head start on the technology while on Earth only makes sense. Pretty much everything he plans is in perspective of having a dual use: will it be needed on Mars - SpaceX's true goal? I hate to say the word but, it's all about synergies.
'Thought leadership' is about being honest about what's happening and expressing this. Giving a voice to SMEs about what they're doing, why they're doing it, and where they think this will go; it is ideal Agile, constituting the combination of thoughts from technology, leadership and subject matter expertise. A credible message which parts on their own cannot communicate. Some organisations do this very well.

I don't want to be a dick but you've summed up what's wrong with 'thought leadership'. If thought leadership consists of a bunch of buzzwords that everyone else is using, you aren't a leader, you are a follower.

It's a business in and of itself; there's no correlation between 'thought leadership' and success. Of course the traveling preacher would want you to think there is.

I looked through the 16-page BLS report and 20-page USCB report you linked but didn't see where either said that "the poor choose not to work"

I'm glad you could figure out this fact, stated in the first couple of paragraphs of the first study I cited, which I also explained in a comment 23 minutes before yours: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13659631

Well, no; I bet a lot of them are people who have tried and tried to find employment, failed and failed, and eventually given up in despair. But let's suppose I'm wrong and all those people could realistically get a job if they wanted. (I bet at least half of them couldn't.)

I bet they could, even if no hablo ingles y no se permite trabajo.

Here are a few to get you started: (1) Poor people can't afford to live in nice places; in the nasty places, there is more violence for them to get caught up in. (2) Poverty causes stress and people under stress are more likely to commit crimes. (3) The laws that determine what things are crimes are generally made by well-off people, whose characteristic ways of screwing other people over tend not to be criminalized.

Yes, the laws against wife beating are made by people who are rich enough to afford a wife who isn't "asking for it". And I can totally see how I'd "get caught up in" raping people if I lived a stressful life of watching TV in a bad neighborhood while not working.

most comfortably off people, if suddenly made poor without other changes to their character and social networks and so forth, would get out of poverty; but most comfortably off people, if they had been dropped into a situation of poverty from childhood onward, would not have escaped;

I'm a bit confused. On the one hand, the tone of your post suggests you strongly disagree with me. Yet you've just explicitly stated complete agreement with me on my core point.

It's evidence against a strawman theory that says poverty strikes completely at random and there's nothing at all anyone can do about it. I don't think anyone believes that, though.

That's not a straw man at all. Adriand discussed whether "anyone can go from "rags to riches"" and declared this "myth busted" based on the fact that most people don't. The only way the latter could imply the former is if all of them attempted to, but simply were unable to do so.
The license for this is effectively nonfree, I don't really see why anyone would use this over nasm or a plethora of excellent free assemblers.
If the package was worth 10k no way would I trust USPS with it. We ship out thousands of packages yearly via USPS and there is zero accountability for lost or damaged goods. We file weekly claims to get the $50 priority mail insurance value which rarely covers the cost of re sending out an order.

Use UPS or Fedex next time!
I've had several packages "lost" by USPS since moving to San Francisco. Never had issues in any other city. Almost everytime a package is shipped by USPS it stresses me out. I'll pay extra for FedEx now because UPS and DHL both use USPS for the last bit of the delivery in the city. I can't believe there is no way to really file a claim for a lost package. When you try they usually just give you a the Postmaster's phone number who puts you on hold for up to an hour. It's insanity. I'm normally for public services, but USPS is incompetent and can't be trusted.
Some people have commented on the website already. I'm not a designer, but the first thing I think of when I see it is a Word Document made by a secretary who has been told to "spice it up" a bit, so she grabbed the M$Word 97 highlight tool with default settings and applied it at random.

As I said, not a designer. And I'm sure Microsoft picked that Yellow for its highlight tool for a reason. The yellow on white is probably Good for some reason. But I find it really unappealing and it has the same kind of connotations as the rainbow-coloured WordArt in an arch shape for me (e.g. http://www.softwaretrainingsolutions.com/HDO/guests/Word/Ima...)
He must've been writing before the Acela Express made its debut. But Boston and New York are close enough that I'd argue true high-speed rail isn't all that much needed.

Which is good, because there's no way in hell our government-supported passenger rail monopoly could ever implement it. That's half the problem right there - nobody can compete with Amtrak because Amtrak can undercut everyone, so Amtrak's service can suck as much as it likes.

(Which is not all that much, in the Northeast Corridor! What we have there may not be super fast, but it is reliable and comfortable. Everywhere else in the US seems a different story.)

Not at all. The reason for wanting a tunnel at SpaceX headquarters specifically is to help the employees access their parking structures without being run over crossing the street:
http://www.parabolicarc.com/2016/12/30/video-3-spacex-employ...

"A news report about three SpaceX employees who were hit by a car on Dec. 17 after leaving work. The incident occurred at 2:15 a.m. About three hours later, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted the following Tweets:

@elonmusk
Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging..."
Another argument: in future, scientists will be able to chart every particle of mud and every molecule adhering to the potsherds. Taking them now, by even the most meticulous and 'responsible' methods, prevent future archaeologists from scanning them properly Star-Trek fashion. So today's 'scientists' will be viewed as pot-hunters in the future.

I say, do what you can with what you have now. Because ultimately you should do nothing, against the day you could do better.
The best place to master c++ is StackOverflow. Many people share knowledge accumulated from experience and they explain much better than Herb Sutter or any gray beard people in C++ community.

Another important thing, no matter how many books you read, you can't be a master without actually solving a lot of problems.
Note though that solar panels are half as effective on mars given it's distance to the sun, nuclear is even more important on Mars than on Earth.
byuu posted a relevant thread on /r/legaladvice: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/5ud6jq/lost_pa...
This is just a wild guess, but could there be more to it than just solving traffic problems? I mean, the best solution for a permanent settlement on Mars would be underground, as to shield from radiation etc. It's a funny thought, but it would make sense to aquire experience with large earth-moving operations to improve on the technology and study the feasibility.
Because, look at the newspaper (or blog or whatever). Its coming apart at the seams.
