How to self-publish a paperback novel, that is. Looks like a lot of good advice!

For my use case (self-publishing a digital-only book):

I wrote "Learn Java the Hard Way" using Leanpub and I was pleased with the experience, but their build tools are closed-source and sort-of creaky and the tweak-compile-preview cycle is WAY too slow for my workflow.

I intend to use Softcover for my next one.

Recently I switched to Gumroad for fulfillment and I have been incredibly happy with them. Highly recommended.
This is the strongest point. Not having anything you're ashamed of does not mean not having anything to hide - it's all too possible for completely harmless traits like ethnicity and sexuality to become targets for someone else.
Everyone seems to miss the whole point of my comment up here, so here is what I was trying to say:

1- UDP is not always the answer, don't overcomplicate things, I'm trying to say that there are games like chess,board games, basically deterministic games that are not realtime. it is very wrong to use UDP for that game style, it's just a huge overkill.

2- UDP can in fact be slower for some use cases than TCP, there are lots of variables and unknowns.

3- Just opting into UDP because "it's faster" is very wrong, before jumping to UDP, there is a whole lot of networking theory that needs to be learned, and I'm not concerned about AAA here, I'm concerned about new beginners and indies that will read this post and think that this is the only right way to do things.

4- UDP is filtered on some networks still, you'll lose some players

5- If your network is so bad that TCP is not fast enough or that older packets are blocking newer ones, it'll be the same with UDP, packets will come in mangled and out of order, ant the game's "Quality" will still be bad with your avatar flying all over the place. until the developer implements a way to reorder packets, which is still more work.

6- I'm not a network professional, neither are lots of people. and if you don't have a strong knowledge to make sure your game's networking is in top shape you might end up making mistakes that will cost to fix.

7- The premise that UDP is going to greatly improve the game networking is naive (It's ok to call things naive by the way, don't be too sensitive) I'm a big fan of gafferongames, there are tons of great resources there, I'm only saying the premise is naive, not the person who wrote it. of course the author knows what they're talking about and I do understand they mainly target RTC and games like agar.io, I would want them to state more clearly that this is only valid for non deterministic, RTC, FPS, whatever you call it. for other cases, it's not the best.

8- Security wise, I'm not sure how easy it is to secrue a UDP conection, but it's surely not straightforward and easy as TCP with SSL for example.

Finally, there is never one true answer to your project's networking technology, lots of developers mix and match between TCP, UDP to get best of both worlds
I would just say use whatever works best for you as long as you have enough knowledge and good reasoning to back your decision on what to use!

As I read it, this means that EU nationals will be able to enter the UK up until it leaves the EU, but when it has left, those who entered after the cut-off date will not necessarily be allowed to stay.

It doesn't look too unreasonably, and probably doesn't violate EU rules by itself, but I wonder about a few things:

* How will it effect EU nationals getting for example a mortgage in the UK before the exit? Normally banks require a permanent right of residency and an EU passport is enough to prove it.

* How will EU nationals who entered before the cut-off date prove it to the government? Immigration applications can often be ridiculously cumbersome. Will someone who has lived in the UK for 20 years be expected to submit detailed documentation for every international trip in those 20 years?
Expensive, but nice design.
Phlogiston is an absolutely reasonable theory given what was known at the time. It's a really interesting example. Phlogiston is basically negative oxygen. It's very similar to how our traditional notion of electrical current moves in the opposite direction from the actual electrons, because people had no idea whether positive or negative charge was the one that moved around, and they just arbitrarily assigned the positive charges as the ones that moved.

It doesn't quite work that way, because charges can be positive and negative, whereas oxygen can only be positive or zero. But until you're able to do some pretty careful measurements, or create a good vacuum, it's hard to tell.

It's a great analogy. Phlogiston theorized that combustion involved an undetectable (with the technology of the day) substance. That substance was investigated over time and the theory was refined until eventually people figured out that the sign was inverted. If you think of "the opposite of oxygen" as still being a pretty solid theory, not absurd, it comes out looking pretty good.
You're joking right? Have you ever been at sea in a storm? Have you ever seen operations at a cargo port?
They should.

When a sound competitor enters into your market, you must do whatever it means (legally of course) to close the doors of the market.

In the case of Intel, they've been enjoying almost no competition in the PC market and they must not yield that position easily.
Thanks for this, it's interesting to see an article that goes from showing step zero all the way to selling on Amazon. I tried getting my novel published in 2012 and was rejected by many literary agents to the point I was having trouble finding any left that I had not submitted to. I considered self-publishing at the time but decided against it. I'll keep this bookmarked should I choose to self publish in the future.

The economy is currently doing well in the UK. All doom and gloom forecasts as a result of the referendum have been re-revised up.

Yes GBP has dropped in value but it will inevitably bounce back in time (although unlikely to the artificial high it was on just before the referendum last year).
What reason do you have to believe this would happen?
This case is completely unrelated to the rights of EU citizens to live and work in the UK.

The author mentions getting a copy editor, but I would also advise hiring a development editor and/or getting feedback from beta readers. Quoting Stephen King (1):

Show your piece to a number of people—ten, let us say. Listen carefully to what they tell you. Smile and nod a lot. Then review what was said very carefully. If your critics are all telling you the same thing about some facet of your story—a plot twist that doesn’t work, a character who rings false, stilted narrative, or half a dozen other possibles—change that facet.

It doesn’t matter if you really liked that twist of that character; if a lot of people are telling you something is wrong with your piece, it is. If seven or eight of them are hitting on that same thing, I’d still suggest changing it. But if everyone—or even most everyone—is criticizing something different, you can safely disregard what all of them say.

In the same piece, King advises “if it’s bad, kill it.” (“When it comes to people, mercy killing is against the law. When it comes to fiction, it is the law.”)

You're right. RISC is more suitable for superscalar processing. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superscalar_processor#History, RISC microprocessors were the first ones to implement superscalar execution.

> Note the lack of "positive discrimination" for jobs like coal mining, or any other profession on the top ten most dangerous jobs..?

You don't even have to go to the 'top ten most dangerous' - when did you last see a female plumber, electrician, gas technician, builder?

I was recently telling someone (female) that I was waiting in for an electrician. I said something like 'so when he comes', then said 'or she, sorry I don't know' - but then I realised actually, you know what I do know, the electrician is going to be a man and not because it's so hard to 'break into', but because women/feminists don't care about doing it.

Of course there are similar examples the other way around - male nurses or primary school teachers are examples to a lesser extent.

It's not really a problem, but we should at least be honest about what we mean.

I just finished my first book, and I went a little bit different of a route than the author here.

I know this isn't very DIY, but it's probably worth knowing it's an option: I simply hired someone who works at a book publishing company to edit and typeset the book for me on the side. The person I hired does it for a living and is incredibly good at it. Let's just say it's not the most lucrative career choice, so I had the entire book (198 pages) edited and typeset by a professional for about $400.

This also had the added benefit of letting me write and get feedback from early readers using google docs, which was incredibly important.

I ended up paying her a pretty big bonus on top of that (as we pre-sold $110,000 worth and since publishing a couple days ago have brought in another $2,000 - all straight profit since we're ebook only so far and not on Amazon) but for my time and sanity it was very, very worth it.
Is there a culture at Dropbox that just encourages these kind of dark patterns? I originally started using the service out of respect for Guido's work, but it seems obvious at this point that Dropbox has little respect for users' security or privacy and will push through this kind of nonsense, hoping that their less-knowledgeable user base won't catch onto the implications.
It's interesting the parallel between the blockchain (requiring confirmations by peers) and this discussion.
Both sides of this debate are equally guilty of accusing the others of astroturfing.

To liberals, any pro-Trump poster must be a Russian operating out of a St. Petersburg fake news factory. To conservatives, any anti-Trump poster must be a paid protester on the payroll of George Soros.

I feel it would make sense for HN to have a full ban on any accusations of astroturfing or paid trolling.

>particles invented before being directly observed as support of dark matter hypothesis

Correct me if I'm wrong, which is quite likely, but isn't it one of the qualities ascribed to dark matter that it doesn't interact with 'ordinary' matter or photons in any way other than gravity, and therefore can't be directly observed?

Or to turn the question around, is the dark matter hypothesis actually falsifiable?

Another somewhat important distinction to note is that ending the right to live here doesn't imply eliminating the possibility to do so. Although they now seem to be ruling out a points-based system, I'm assuming that once you tick certain boxes in some shape or form (and one can reasonably assume people on this board will do so), it will be more or less frictionless to move to and fro.

Whether discriminating against lesser-skilled immigration from poorer countries is a moral thing to do is, of course, a separate subject for discussion.

I wondered why a “French scholar” would have so much trouble. Near the end, he reveals: “Maybe it's my birthplace, Egypt [..]”, which, if indeed he looks Egyptian and not French, goes a long way towards explaining it. Racism is a thing.
Yes, ok, you're right.

I think, however, that doing that for all the things in the world each people would like to store, is too complicated to be true.

I only say that because I was an enthusiast of things like the remoteStorage protocol -- not what it has become actually, but the idea behind it. I would prefer something like remoteStorage to be standardized instead of a different protocol for each thing.

Perhaps Urbit is in the same space as remoteStorage, only much more complicated.
I agree animation can help get oriented with a new system but they quickly get in the way. Some people even like having animations just because of the feel of it and that's fine too. I don't mind UI having the animations as an option, even if it's on by default, I just want a big, fat single button to turn them all off.

Side note: I expected to be downvoted heavily for my original comment given the bad tone (animations are a sore spot for me, I get emotional about it) but some how the opposite happened. Obviously I was 100% correct :) but I should have been less of a dick about it.
You all bring up good points, and I agree that the usage was imprecise and/or wrong, though the original comment did, IMO, contain enough information that you should be able to deduce with a significant probability (in the Bayesian sense) whether or not I am, indeed, the great French historian Henry Rousso!
Something along these lines (although by far not that bad) happened to me when I traveled to NYC for vacation of New Years Eve 2016/2017(this was before Trump took office). At the border control I was asked to follow the officer and wait in a room. I was waiting with a couple of other people but most people there were only waiting because of small formalities with their passports and they could leave after a couple of minutes. I thought it will be the same for me. However in my case the officer who was also checking my passport at the border control asked me to follow him into a separate room where I had to do a 40 minutes interview telling him basically my entire life history (names of all my relatives, where they live, which countries I have visited, all my social media accounts). I did so and the officer was friendly and after the interview I asked him why such a thorough interview. He responded that this is above his pay grade. the computer spits out names randomly and this was a level 1 interview. If he had been more suspicious of my answers the interview would have taken much longer. This was probably due to my background and name. My mother is from Iran and my father from Turkey.
One month later (Trump was already in office) I had to travel again to the US (this time to LA) and I had zero problems but probably because they already had all the information.
I am happy to not have to store books in physical form. They are heavy, take up loads and loads of space, and do not keep well. And that's not even getting into how impractical they are to actually read (or search) compared with e-books.

And still, something is missing in the home. A book collection might be the most personal touch a person can have in the home. Some of it is vanity, you want to show people what you read, but somehow it is also delightful to casually look over all the old gems and sometimes get the urge to pick one out to read again. This doesn't really happen in the same way with the Kindle. I guess it's the same with record collections vs. digital distribution.
Based on what exactly? If you have sources to cite there are many interested people. So far we've a general feeling of "people have been moving between these two countries freely since decades before the EU existed so they couldn't stop that... could they?" - could they?

Then again, isn't the EU supposed to bargain as a block?

Any firm comment on this by a party in a position to influence policy would be received with great interest.
I recently caught Bartosz Milewski on a podcast, and found him surprisingly reasonable. Surprisingly, because he was advancing category theory, which has always looked like the purest gibberish to me. I looked up some of his YouTube videos (I generally detest videos for learning anything) and discovered that they were informative and well-paced. So I'm his newest fan, and I may yet learn category theory.
I don't think that the headline is misleading one bit.

You're just making assumptions about the time of this order going in effect to be right away which can't be deduced from the headline.

You'd be right if the headline read like this

"Theresa May ends EU citizens’ rights to live in UK"

Which implies immediate action taking place.

The fact that the headline gets the "to end", or in other cases "set to end", suggests that the subject of the sentence is expected to do something in the future and not in the present.
It seems the only way to execute your rights is to apply for residency and that requires 5 years.
In addition to what jbapple said, if your hash map has more than 2^32 buckets, the latency of the division is the last of your problem.
Newtonian physics can predict fixed curves, you just have to assume that there is additional matter you don't see through a telescope, aka 'dark' matter. And as it turns out, if you then look at the cosmic microwave background, you see that cosmology works a lot better if you have an additional uncharged field, that has a similar mass density as the missing matter in galaxy. When you then look at the large scale structure of galaxies, then it turns out that it looks like there is an additional component to galaxy formation, that again seems to be uncharged but otherwise looks a lot like normal matter.

Now, the picture is only mostly as neat now than it was a few years ago, since there is now quite a bit strain with particle physics, but still everywhere in astrophysics it looks like there is some component missing. If that component is dark-matter or a modification of gravity or a remnant of something else is a question about which story journalists want to tell. The thing is, nature does not have to adhere to how we name the left or right hand side of an equation, and that is on a phenomenological level really the difference between mond and dark matter, you either write the term on the gravity side or on the matter side of Newton's law.

It is not that physicists invent an invisible component to make a model work, physicists look at the universe and find hints of a missing matter component everywhere. It is just that journalists love to claim that scientists are puzzled.

In my post, "you" refers to the corporate person that is the Centrelink government agency (and implicitly the humans behind that corporate person), about which false allegations were made.

> Today's mass media is better, in terms of adherence to the truth, diversity, and creativity than at any point in time.

I'm not sure how you would go about backing up a statement like this. It doesn't pass the eye test to me.

I think you could definitely say that mass media is bigger, and within it there are pockets of excellent journalism that have the features you describe.

But these standouts are far too easily drowned in a glut of misinformation, editorializing, listicles, and so on. And so it becomes really easy to dismiss 'the media' when 'the media' is far from a homogeneous industry. Even certain websites aren't homogeneous - I don't know that your average reader would know the difference between BuzzFeed and BuzzFeed News, for example.
