If foreign students want to make American friends, they should be prepared to feel uncomfortable and also be willing to make others uncomfortable.

There is no easy way. You have to separate yourself from your comfort zone. That includes others from your home country as well as other international students. Live with an American roommate, go to every (American) party you are invited to. Say no to every (non-American) party you are invited to. Find an American gf/bf or keep trying. Join volunteering activities (food drives, blood drives, salvation army etc) to meet locals.

In a couple of years, you would have made yourself deeply uncomfortable on many occasions, annoyed some people, but by now you'll be talking and walking like an American.

This applies in general to immigrants who tend to huddle together because it is the easier thing to do. That is why in most cases, cultural assimilation takes atleast a generation.

I just read the article ... it has absolutely no explanation as to why AIT wouldn't or couldn't work - and I just noticed it's from 1994 - 23 years ago.

Isn't that what custom liveliness probes are for?
> a) Given how around 50% the US population was brainwashed by government and media into believing Snowden is a traitor,

That means there's about 159 million people who don't believe he's a traitor.

> b) Given the fact that America has elected a president who wants Snowden executed,

?? Most whistleblowers don't plan to get outed, do they?

> c) Given that the NSA has locked down their systems completely since Snowden's revelations.

If there's one thing I've learned, any system can be considered "locked down", right up until the point that it isn't.

And people need to have access to the data for it to be of any use, right?
I wish I could downvote you.
The only "scheme all the way down" implementation I know of is T. It's just too much of a pain to fully self-host the garbage collection code, and it's not exactly clear what the gain of doing so is.
If that is the case, why all the other the other repo's star operations is not communicated to google or other analytics platform? My point was, I was blocked from starring only for this repo and not all the other repos. It was not about how analytics works in general for every user action.
I'm glad they go into DEFCON 1 when there's measles on the loose. I'm worried they'll be told to back off by the President because of "fake news" or some shit and then it'll turn into a crisis of epic mismanagement.

Remember when China bungled SARS? That's what the US will do if there's an outbreak now.

It's like the only person standing between the president and a total catastrophe is a temporary appointee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Schuchat

Because the healthcare system is vast and has many aspects. It also varies across locations.

My son doesn't have classic autism but he has developmental delays, sensory issues, etc. Trying to find providers here in the bay area can be extremely frustrating with extremely long wait times and we have great insurance. Our prior plan was Kaiser and it was just as much of a hassle but in a different way (having to go through a special office to get approval for therapists, etc).
Largely as a function of demographics, HN tends to discuss technologies which are either big with the Cool Kids in Silicon Valley (e.g. Docker), the publicly-discussable inventions of AppAmaGooBookSoft (e.g. Kubernetes), and things that small tech-forward businesses worldwide would reasonably choose to adopt (e.g. PHP/MySQL).

The significant parts of technology which the userbase doesn't cover nearly so much are Big Freaking Enterprises (Oracle databases, SAP, etc) and technologies primarily used in non-tech-forward companies (e.g. some parts of the Microsoft stack).

If you think the view might be a little lopsided, my best advice is "be the change you want to see in it."
Considering it doesn't sustain the free software you needed to improve in the first place, yes, that is a terrible idea.
It is really sad that people still start the discussion about algorithms by telling it as a sequence of actions or operations to accomplish a task. How to go to airport is not an algorithm, how to cook food is not an algorithm.

It was pretty obvious for some time, but it's good that the dots are connected and documented, for some kind of proof. Fuchsia OS will be huge, even if it's hidden in the background.

Samsung has its Tizen OS (previously Bada) for 6 years as alternative ready. If anything happens with Android that Samsung doesn't like the could ship new devices simply with Tizen and kiss Google good bye. It allowed them to get better agreements. I wonder why Samsung waited that long, they had a near monopoly around 2012 with Android devices, now several new chinese players entered the market.

Samsung TV and Gear, and some phones run already on Tizen and some older on Bada. (Tizen is Linux based, it's history is complex and some involvement was also from Intel and Nokia (before the MSFT inside job)).
While I agree "following instructions" !== "algorithm", it does serve as a decent bit of context to people who are COMPLETELY unfamiliar with computing let alone programming.

I wonder how much the depth of the wreck should play a role in deciding how these wrecks are treated.

At 40m or less, wrecks can be explored using recreational scuba gear. Every effort should be made to catalog these wrecks and remove all items of any interest before recreational divers are allowed to visit the site.

Down to about 200m, tech diving equipment can still be used, but the danger and the skill level needed to salvage goes up. Given the likelihood that the wreck will be unexplored by any other than professional salvagers, the archeological rigor with which the site is treated should go down. Proper archeological treatment of the site will mean more dives and an increased chance that someone dies. And the equipment is quite a bit more expensive. It's only natural that they'd limit themselves to the more profitable salvage and leave what is essentially charitable salvage to any organization that can solicit enough donations to do their own work.

Below 200m, you're talking submersibles and robots and the cost to salvage goes way up. Expecting archeological rigor at those depths likely means that most wrecks will be completely unexplored. I'd rather see the valuable stuff salvaged and put in museums than just left on the ocean floor.

But perhaps I'm being too myopic to my own interests and those of other scuba divers.

From Wikipedia:

> Formaldehyde and its adducts are ubiquitous in living organisms. It is formed in the metabolism of endogenous amino acids and is found in the bloodstream of humans and other primates at concentrations of approximately 0.1 millimolar.

Maybe "people will literally argue that formaldehyde is naturally occurring and exists in our bodies" because, you know, it's true?

Also considering that aluminum is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, I'd be very surprised if even ancient people didn't have some aluminum in their bodies. They could ingest more aluminum than we do simply by chewing on food with dirt.
What scenarios do you see where PTP (which gets improvements from hardware-support in widely available network cards and switches, but doesn't require extra cabling etc) isn't good enough? On a geeky level syncing everything to a central clock is fun, but I don't see much practical reasons to actually build complex hardware for it given that we have working alternatives on top of our existing infrastructure.
So, all things being equal and arguments having the same merit, the less polite and less rational person wins. If i am able to contain emotions and argue by facts only, I will be at disadvantage.

That is not meritocracy and pretty bad workplace.
I'm going to guess France, which has around that percentage of Muslims and is certainly not geographically confined.
Or maybe if you put too many IQ-associated alleles in one person you wind up with a psychotic wreck. We don't know how these genes interact, if they do, nor by what mechanism they work. And unlike with corn, you can't just guess until something works; experimenting with actual humans would be a major ethical breach, and there's no animal models of human intelligence. Progress on that front is possible but unlikely in this century.

Actually, your distribution needs to learn to live with the world rather than isolating itself to a stagnant point in history. If it's going to ship Rust in the repository, it needs to ensure that it always ships the latest version. If it doesn't plan on doing that, it should ship rustup instead. Otherwise, there's very little point in shipping Rust as you'll limit yourself to only being able to compile older versions of software. Ain't nobody got time to manage multiple versions of the same project for the sake of system X and Y having different versions of the Rust compiler.

The Rust ecosystem is able to make leaps and bounds on a regular basis precisely because we aren't limiting ourselves to ancient versions of the Rust compiler because the system we use isn't technologically savvy enough to keep up with the times. Rust basically follows the Internet age of development, whereas point release distributions are stuck in a metaphorical floppy disk era (and often times still use mailing lists).

Rustup is a major tool for development because it allows us to keep our toolchains updated. It's used for obtaining nightly compilers, stable compilers, official documentation, rust source code for racer autocompletion, and various different types of targets, such as MUSL vs Glibc on Linux, or installing the Windows GNU toolchain on Linux for cross-compiling.

And there's literally zero reason to not follow the latest Rust compiler. Rust follows the semantic versioning rules, which dictates that all of the 1.x.x release are backwards compatible with 1.0.0. Upgrading the compiler will bring no breaking changes, but it will bring improved performance and features.
<sarcasm> Sure, that's why OOP failed. </sarcasm>
I believe calling large groups of people "racists" is counter-productive and doesn't help or do anything positive. Chances are unless we picked KKK some Eugenics Institute of America (I made that name up, btw) that characterization will probably be wrong.

Besides what does the term "people like them" even mean"? Are we referring to immigrants vs citizens, nationality, religion, political party? People from different groups big and small will unsurprisingly want other people from the same group to succeed. Are you sure it is all about the skin color and them all thinking one is superior than other? I gave an example about immigrants. It could be programmers. Or some religious organization. Same with people from a country and so on. Are all those instances of racism?

Wouldn't you say that the accusation of racism is rather serious and racism is a serious topic and not just something to be used when we disagree with things? I think it is. And because of that it is important to be very precise and sure when using it. Otherwise we are just mocking it and reducing its value.

> Or that I wander the streets calling people racist?

But the equivalent is to wonder around the internet and throw that term around. And I am sorry, I didn't mean to single you out specifically, I wanted to talk more to wider audience (since it is a public forum as well) because I have seen this happen too many times. Some here, the media, Reddit, relatives, friends, at work and so on.

A system build on top of it? Possibly, but thats the trade-off if you don't want to pay for/be lock-in to somebody else running it. For just the timing stuff: not really. Of course it adds complexity, but these things are established and should be quite stable.

Racket is a lot faster. Python is generally slower than guile, which is a lot slower than racket.

Racket is according to my unscientific benchmarks, unless the problem lends itself well to an imperative style, in the same ballpark as, but still slower than, C# on mono.

Edit: pypy on the other hand is, if the project euler forums are a good source, on par with racket.

They've already replaced Dalvik with ART for bytecode and it was mostly transparent from what I understood.

But popping up with a completely new platform API without any backwards compatibility would be very bold and risky. There would have to be a good compatibility story there.

Also there is talk in the article about a POSIX layer. Now that's easier said than done. But it is Google we are talking about so they certainly have the manpower and resources to try.

"The work of many people" is literally the title of a paper by Edward Teller that in some opinions had the same kind of aim as we're talking about here for the Lander paper -- minimizing Ulam's contribution to the Ulam-Teller mechanism behind the H-bomb.

I was reminded of it when Lander's article came out, not just now.
