That's such an easy thing to say. People who are in US temporarily also need to rent apartments, rent/buy a car. Most of the H1B folks who are here for 3yrs don't live out of the bag for 3 yrs. If this attitude remains, the smart folks will avoid US entirely. You'll definitely see foreign companies competing and hurting the economy. Either you're with immigrants or against.

Edit - if people are uncertain about re-entry, how are they supposed to make daily decisions, as simple as leasing an apartment.
No, Kahan advocates for what the C standard does which GCC doesn't implement correctly.
There is a book out there called "Writing the Breakout Novel" by Donald Maass. The book was a tremendously help for me in deconstructing my plot and characters. I rewrote and even rearranged entire chapters. I had subplots that had no closure that I rewrote to provide an ending.

I invite you to check out my novel's Amazon page and read some of the reviews. Even the negative reviews praise the story itself, while slamming my writing style :)
This comment is less helpful than the one you replied to.

@Simpliplant has a good point, people expect digital paint tools to save, but also made a blanket unqualified statement about creating anything without saving.

@jasonkostempski replied that some people don't want to save, the blanket statement doesn't apply to everyone. And that's absolutely true. This is a valid, though somewhat tangential, point of view about performance art.

There is a long history of artists using art tools that don't have save or undo. Traditional arts are still founded on this concept, the art world still largely values techniques that involve the risk of screwing it up, and are hard to copy. That's changing over time, digital arts are growing up, but the majority opinion in the art world is still that tools with undo and tools that can replicate without loss are for unserious artists.

Music is the same way, it's a performance art, and digital sequencing and digital performance have often been considered inferior. Robert Moog, one of the most famous creators of analog & digital synthesizers, even wanted to make his synth a performance instrument, and didn't like the idea of using a sequencer. Sound patches couldn't be saved either, and many famous musicians had enormous careers using Moogs.

There're many temperature sensors inside a laptop. They are designed to shut down on high-temperature conditions, well before exploding. The blankets cannot be the cause of the problem, without positing a second failure of some sort to defeat the safeties?

If there wasn't so much student-loan money available, would there be more incentives for some colleges to reduce their costs and make their product more affordable.

Right now, colleges provide the service (education) and credential (degree). If independent third parties could provide believable credentials, there would be more incentives to find cheaper ways of delivering the services.

So two independent companies (after testing many phones) came to conclusion that there were two different manufacturing defects in batteries used. But they were wrong and the problem was phones thinness. You should contact Samsung immediately.

Defective batteries aren't that new to Apple

Exactly, happened to me as well like 6 years ago (which in combo with the magnetic power connector made me lose work more than once due to me continueing to use the macbook without bad battery followed by me/cats/wife tripping over the cable). Just searching for e.g. 'macbook swollen battery' gives quite some results.

And 5.30s is about 20% faster than 6.46s. We're just throwing around numbers now.

My point was that the cpu load is "about even" compared to if the C version was single-threaded, in which case it would look more like 200-300% bigger cpu load instead of merely 20%.
One approach I've read about is to keep a metric for the number of probes as it relates to the overall capacity of the table. If a single bucket starts to fill up while the table itself is at relatively low capacity it is assumed that the data structure is under attack and it is rehashed with a DoS resistant hash function. This allows a fast, but non-resistant, hash function to be used most of the time without incurring a huge penalty in the pathological case.

Had a portable bluetooth speaker do the same to me while I was in the same room with it, it was simply charging, wasn't even being used. Also very fortunate to be able to extinguish it right on the spot before it set the apartment and consequently the building on fire. I've grown pretty skeptical of that sort of batteries after the fact, but there's not much you can do about it at this point since there's one in almost every device you can think of. It's like sitting on an explosive device that can go off anytime without any notice.
yeah right, like laptops need to be designed with "extra space for the batteries to grow".

> It's great for tech demos, but I can't imagine playing through an 80-hour game like that.

I'm not a gamer - not in the sense of today. But I do like to play games occasionally.

Back in the 90s, I remember playing Dactyl Nightmare - stand up, single controller, crappy (by today's standards - back then, it was different) HMD/res - but I loved it. Five minutes for 5 dollars - expensive, but I always liked that at the end of the game, I had gotten a great bit of exercise that was fun (I wasn't one of those "players" that just "derped" and looked around - I played the game).

Dodging, ducking, aiming and shooting - all of that "action" translated into a pretty good workout!

My future fantasy would be playing and exploring the Cyberpunk 2077 world (assuming its released); today, I would love to do the same with GTAV, but apparently it isn't something supported by default in the game (there are hacks to somewhat allow for it in the "freeform" or "single-player" mode (?) - but even those hacks don't work perfectly, from what I gather).

I'm one of those kinds of people who hates exercise - but has no problem getting it from a game or other "active" activities (I dislike competitive sports as well - but I love hiking).
I don't believe you are correct. No device manufacturer has room available when it comes to internals. They don't leave gaps that aren't physically required for operation. This isn't like an air-cooled desktop PC, it's a device that has no affordances for excess space.

The big problem with the Note 7 was the battery design and manufacture. Nothing within the device itself was the problem. These batteries would have exploded in any device they were placed in (though they were built specifically for the Note 7, like any phone battery nowadays): https://news.samsung.com/global/infographic-galaxy-note7-wha...

I've taken the Amtrak from Vancouver to Seattle and Portland and various stops in between. Excepting the low speeds and infrequent departure times it's such a great service. A HSR train that would fix these problems would be a dream and there would surely be a big tourism boost along the corridor.

One of the benefits of rail would be that you have the ability to have downtown to downtown service and you potentially take a lot of cars off the road. Seattle is dramatically improving its transportation system and it's pretty reasonable to think that in the near future it could be totally viable to travel between Vancouver, Seattle and Portland without a car, leveraging public transit and bike share (oh wait Seattle killed theirs...) to get around.

Another big advantage of the train is that it's pretty simple and easy to take a bike along. Pretty useful if you want to go on a bike touring trip in Washington or Oregon or just dash into Portland for a weekend but have your bike along so that you can move about the city easily.

Vancouver is currently undergoing the a planning process for the Flats industrial neighbourhood, which includes the old central rail station. I was the nerd that went to the transportation meeting and stuck the "keep the door open to HSR" post it note on the ideas board. I was happy to see that there was a mention of the potential for HSR in the area in the draft plan, though I doubt city planners really believe that strongly that it's a potential reality.

Very nifty guide and honestly very needed in the DIY space I think. Mostly because I feel long-form print (specifically hard copy) is occupying a smaller and smaller market share year after year. There's definitely still demand - as in airport bookstores - but the ROI doesn't seem very appealing.

My experience was through Smashwords and I was pleased with the platform. Never even recouped the $10 or so fee to get the ISBN number hah. It's a nice opportunity - self publishing, that is - and I think lots of amateur writers should feel compelled to give it a try. Nothing is quite like the artistic experience of working very hard on a piece, getting it out into the world, and almost nobody paying any attention to it. Except a couple purchases by relatives.

There are several ways that dark matter might exhibit detectable interactions. For example, it could undergo weak interactions with itself or with ordinary matter. (See WIMPs.) It could also undergo some antimatter-annihilation interaction, emitting e.g. a Z boson, which could decay to a detectable particle-antiparticle pair. We might be able to observe Z bosons from matter interactions decaying to dark matter pairs, which would manifest as an unexplained shortage of matter after a collision. We're still looking for any such interactions.
If it does not admit that it's simplified assumptions are simplified assumptions and seek to improve them, then yes. Which does not apply to physics.

Economics has a weird tendency to invoke "outside shocks" to explain why their models fail, and seems to have difficulty identifying those shocks.

I run across this all the time with (insert item that uses lithium batteries here). People ask "can't those things explode?!" Well, yeah, if it's got a lithium battery it can.

That's why you buy batteries from reputable sources (or items with integrated batteries from reputable sources), don't charge them unattended, and be aware of anything getting warm or expanding.

An honorarium is sort of a funny thing because it's not really a payment, or at least that's the fiction. The theory is that it's more like a thank you gesture, very possibly at below market rates. Who knows what he actually said to CBP. If it was something to the effect of "Sure, I'm being paid for my speech," it's not hard to see this raising a flag.

There really is a broader lesson here that has nothing to do with the current US president or the US in particular.

I don't get paid when I speak at events. But it's also the case that when I travel to Europe, I'm not sure I've ever been asked that question. It's usually "I'm attending a computer software conference" "in XYZ city" "I work for such and such" etc. If someone were getting paid, I could see it not coming up for years and suddenly it does for some reason and it's a problem.

This isn't right. Dark matter is a shorthand of saying "our current theory is at least incomplete, there is probably an entirely new class of thing (as in, dark matter is known to be a misnomer), and maybe (with a ridiculously high degree of uncertainty) a separate theory is craftable that precisely explains both what we're currently calling "dark matter" and all other other observed gravitational phenomena.

The problem with MOND is that it straight-up isn't compatible with relativity. The core of relativity is that the laws of physics from all reference frames are the same. Sure, you can make a MOND that gels with alot of the math resulting from general relativity, but saying "MOND is correct at the large scale and Newtonian mechanics is correct at smaller scales" is gibberish if you actually want to keep relativity itself.

I actually do stuff like this, in the connection request packet a mix of "additional data" protected by the AEAD as well as encrypted data (keys), allows me to quickly reject stale tokens because the expire timestamp is public, but protected with signature check, vs. having to fully decrypt first to see the token is stale.

I don't have any defined port because in the game industry we tend to run multiple game servers on the same box, so we take up a bunch of ports. I acknowledge that this could cause issues with corporate firewalls, and would be open to ideas how to solve this.

Regarding P2P, I think WebRTC solves the problem of browser to browser communication just fine. Any attempt to support p2p this would just end up rewriting WebRTC.

What I'm trying to do is solve just one small part of the problem, in a WebSockets like way, just one thing that would enable a lot of other cool things to be built on it, if it were adopted by browsers.

The first paragraph states very clearly:

"And by that I mean that I have the fastest lookups of any hashtable I could find, while my inserts and erases are also really fast. (but not the fastest)"

Yes, it is the fastest that author wrote. However, that's not the sole claim. But also that it has the fastest lookups of any hashtable the author could find.

The complaint being that he did not do a very thorough job of finding alternatives, and thus the title of "I wrote the fastest hashtable" is not reasonable.

> If you never get a positive result then you're probably just not good at science. Also I can't imagine any scientists who gets up and tries to fail everyday.

Science is this: Try to disprove (i.e. fail) your hypothesis. If you've failed sufficiently, then you have something that can be published.

> Just because your experiment doesn't work doesn't mean it wasn't worthwhile.

If experiments don't work then you need to redo them to figure out why they didn't work. An experiment with a negative result is not an experiment that didn't work. It worked, but gave you an answer you did not expect. Verify.

Every scientist I know (a lot) and have interacted with understand that a negative result is not a worthwhile result.

> If you publish your failure then future researchers don't have to waste their time walking down the same path.

Scientists often publish negative results. This is mostly done if it disproves some other published work that you do not believe, through some experience of your own, and want to test with a different test or a more rigorous test. But if it does not challenge something that's accepted, it's unlikely to get acknowledged and is therefore of low value to the lab and to the scientist that is publishing. They cannot afford to put that above their own career success.

And if they did they would find it harder and harder to get grant money and therefore will fail in the academic field completely. You cannot (except for extreme edge cases) contribute to science without money.
