SSC Journal Club: Analytical Thinking Style and Religion
The hypothesis team gives for their product only dev install instructions, there is only an old docker recipe, the offline install seemed to go through their website for authentication and when I asked on their IRC for proper installation instructions they said its on theirr TODO (last year).

I think that proper installation instructions,perhaps with docker compose, are more important than blog posts about annotation importance.
This has become a lot better in the US now too - I can use my Australian passport at their self-serve kiosks when travelling on an ESTA that has a renewal.

You still have to talk to the immigration officer though - everyone does.
That's interesting, I've always thought the WebSocket spec is too complicated with all those frame types and message fragmentation, and I completely ignored contunation frames when I had to implement the protocol myself. But it seems more versatile than I imagined. Though the workaround you mentioned sounds a bit hacky.

And yeah, I now remember that masking was also a problem at the time. So even if web browsers adopt a new API to send fragmented messages, it would still not be possible to directly plug in them to legacy servers. Sad.

Edit: It would also be possible to send a single giant message, which contains a single giant continuation frame sent for the lifetime of the session, which is followed by a FIN frame. Am I correct?

I've only tried the Playstation VR and its resolution is so low that I find it too low even for games, it just isn't a compelling experience for me because of how obviously pixelated everything is. I couldn't imagine for one moment to use it as a desktop replacement.
I did not know this one! Thank you!
That's true. I'm currently also involved in the development of an embedded linux project for which we yet have to find out the perfect update story. We thought about replacing individual packets too, but it looks like a hard way from various perspectives:

- Build system: Would need to figure out how to build all these packets (with their requirements) in a reliable way.

- Deployment: Deployments should be reproducable. All devices should get the same version of all subcomponents. And a rollback to an older version (with older versions of subcomponents) should be possible. Having some devices floating around with untested configurations (because the device decided to update on package but not the remaining ones) is not desirable, because you want to only handover fully tested/qualified software versions to the customer.

Building the whole RFS at once, storing it and flashing it at once currently seems like the way to go. Will take a look at mender if it could help.
ARM tried it in the 90s with the AMULET.

> Eliminate virtual memory (replacing it with nothing)

That would require all code running on the system to be run through a security verifier. The only non-research language that's even attempted this at the system is Java. And you can get Java bytecode smartcards that do this.

It also precludes running Windows or Linux on it, reducing your market to the embedded market only straight out of the gate.
> With reasonably long cryptographically strong hashes it's not a weak point (or you could call almost all cryptography a weak point).

We do not yet know if one way functions truly exists, so from a theoretical standpoint, any hash function is a weakpoint if you do not properly handle malicious collisions.

> SHA-1 is considered weak for many years, git should've migrated from it already.

Linus addressed this many years ago, when de was working on the first version of Git. It was chosen, despite the fact that it was known to be weakened. I don't know if they lost sight of this, or the geniuenly still believe that malicious colliding hashes are not a problem. I do not know enough about the intimate details of Git to comment on that fact.
How grains domesticated us
Only if the store is close by or you're willing to make a somewhat spontaneous decision. Imagine driving 3h+ to the nearest store, measuring the stuff not being 100% sure if it actually has enough space etc. etc.
Also the IKEA in store experience is a total nightmare for me (it sucks all energy out of me and sometimes even creates mild anxiety depending on how full the store is) so I'd rather get as much preplanned as I possibly can to minimize in store exposure.

The Egg by Andy Weir
http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html
I'm surely wrong at many things yes, but you are also wrong at some points, if i play a game in a bad network setting, UDP will still be a bad option, packets will be probably very mangled on a bad network and will offer no superiority over TCP, you will see more blockage on TCP, but you will probably also see your player jump all over the place with UDP coming in totally out of order, and if you implement your own way of reordering packets, then you are almost reimplementing TCP over UDP again. if a network is bad, it's bad no matter what networking protocol you'll be using.

The only thing that makes UDP faster is that it comes without TCP's convenience features, and for many games, this is more than enough and the performance penalty is not usually worth it (unless you're a AAA with lots of resources and dedicated team just for the networking part)

besides that if you simply opt-in to UDP because it's better, then you'll spend much more time working on the network than actually working on the game.

my problem was with the generalisation in the premise, that `UDP is better than TCP for networked games`, this is not the case for a deterministic game of chess or any card/board game.

UDP's only point in this article is realtime data intensive games like FPS'es.

also I'm not putting security into consideration in this argument.

What's your thoughts ?
Woodworking as a hobby really seems to touch upon something for those of us who work on a computer all day long. The physical aspect is rewarding; whatever you create is real instead of the ephemeral virtuality of software.

Moving from an apartment to a house with room for a (small) workshop was liberating in that respect.

Ikea furniture truly is well engineered though, and I agree with the environmental benefit of Ikea flat-pack furniture — although I am critical of the mindset it fosters where furniture is now a consumable rather than a long term investment.

Whenever people dump broken and worn down Ikea furniture by the road side for collection by the municipal garbage service, I forage a bit for the clever Ikea hardware (like those handy demountable nuts and bolts used in the Billy) for use in my own projects.

And when the proofs become terabytes of data produced by a program, and the reviewer has to write another program just to verify that the proof is sound, it's going to become intractable.

The Reduceron specifically tries to quickly perform application of lambda expressions that GHC will try to avoid generating in the first place. The Reduceron speeds things up using several memory banks etc. but it still does things that shouldn't be done at all and the overhead is there at least in area and power.

Therefore the moderation will not have anything to do with the content owner. It's comparable to reddit or HN : would you complain that content owner have no control over discussion about their content on those sites ?

There were no eternal empires throughout the history and probably will never be. Current world dominating countries are still in infancy compared to some empires of the past. Spain was one of the world dominating powers for centuries and that counts for something.

If you do them in hardware, they always come bounded. At most n elements of size m bytes and both numbers usually single digit. If you want to lift that limitation, it usually is just as slow as doing it in software.

Sony launches super slow-mo (960fps) Xperia XZ Premium phone
Hum, the nice thing with Robin Hood hashing is that you get close to 90% load factor without pathological performance degradation. If you have a fixed probe count, wouldn't you be better just grouping your buckets in fixed size sub buckets and doing (trivially parallelizable) linear searches for lookups and to find empty insert positions?

On a related note, I have in general concerns about latency spikes due to rehashing. Is there a good, general, incremental rehashing scheme?
Ask HN: Join Server Side Swift Community
Hello swifter,

Seeing there were no dedicated page for SSS, I have created Server Side Swift Community for newbies, professionals and experts to discuss, post fresh news and tutorials, share tips and tricks.

https://www.facebook.com/ServerSideSwiftCommunity/

Let me know what you think.
I think it's still true for data science. Nobody can keep up with the flood of research taking place.
Even #2 is questionable. I had a front row view of a company that made a chip very quickly and one way they were able to do it was to not bother emulating ASIC in FPGA. There are some very nice and open-source hardware development tools that basically obviate that need.
Microsoft Edge and IE: Type Confusion in HandleColumnBreakOnColumnSpanningElement
You make it pretty clear the ego being hurt doesn't belong to any of the commenters.
This is great, and I don't want to take away from it, but the idea that limiting the number of probes before a rehash is a new contribution is mistaken.

I've certainly done this in hash tables I've implemented at times, and I've seen this in library hash tables too.

One public well-known example that springs to mind is Cliff Click's NonBlockingHashMap in Java.
Firejail is an other good approach.
Secure Safe Exchange Coin and Bitcoin Keys
Of course, whether something is simple can be subjective.

To answer your points:

1. I've been using Android for a few months, I can now say that I'm familiar with both

2. that would be one thing where iOS is simpler. I've tried and I still haven't figured out what the default Android installation is (I assume Google phones?). Every Android installation is different, every phone gets different updates and bugs, etc. What a nightmare.

3. I bought the phone because it was 179 vs. 799, and it had dual SIM. Everything else is worse, but it would take ages to go through all that. In general, the control that you lose with Apple makes things easier. There is one launcher that always works, the apps are double-checked and don't contain viruses or malware, every app follows some guidelines and is integrated with the rest of the OS.

It doesn't assume the Effiecient Market hypothesis - empirical studies of returns support random returns without the imposing a model (non-parametric tests).

That's not to say returns are actually random, but in any given time range, it appears to be.

My guess would be yes. I'm thinking this could be used to find out how effective a particular marketing campaign was. Just compare the forecast with actuals and the difference would be the number of sales/clicks you got from that campaign.

There are still cancers where early detection is either infeasible due to lack of cheap screening, or screening itself showing no improvement in survival rate.
I would fire someone for hiring based on a physical characteristic (for knowledge work). It's idiotic. It sounds no better than random.
There are a lot of performance optimizations specific to the hardware, but other than that it's just a computer.

macOS works perfectly on VirtualBox and hackintoshes.
I don't think that this is purely a chicken and egg problem. A major part of total VR expense is GPU capacity; there is a certain level of computing performance that must be met for "good feeling" VR - but GPUs are and will be getting investment and improvements in price/performance even without VR; so the software/content folks can simply wait for the hardware to become more affordable, so that many more (most?) people would already have the required computing gear and would just need some peripherals.
Variable clock frequency is something very different from being clockless.

Clockless architecture is also not about the general processor design.
It's "NASA."
It's called "collection". What I dislike of IKEA is having just one collection. Take this as an example: http://www.lefablier.com/en/collections/

I understand that's a completely different world, but the idea is that you can have consistency in your whole house without giving up the possibility of choosing what fits your taste more.
Not really. In the latest versions (maybe since Yosemite?), Apple has provided a Finde Extension API that has hooks for badges and right-click menus. That's what everyone's using.

The demonstration is a pair of PDFs that display differently. However, Google didn't find two PDFs that just happen to collide. Instead, they built one PDF that contains two jpegs and a switch that selects one of them for display. The neat bit is that the file has the same hash regardless of the switch's setting.

This attack won't work on plain text source because it won't look like source code.

This bullshit is a growing problem on sites all over the Web. They deliberately disturb coworkers, wake companions, and otherwise grossly disrespect their readers.

I didn't watch the talk in full, so forgive me if you addressed this somewhere in the Q&A: What are the differences between your architecture and the Epiphany chips? As far as I can tell they have approximately the same amount of local scratch pad memory and also a 2D mesh routing infrastructure and general overall design philosophy, one major difference seems to be the Serdes design that you have.

Edit: Ah ok, one major difference seems to be that you have quad-issue VLIW as opposed to RISC and apparently you are 10x faster than Epiphany, that is really impressive.
>Could this be re-purposed for detecting anomalies/outliers in time series data?

If you define anomaly as something unexpected then yes. In this case, if the reality differs significantly from the forecast (=expectation) then it is an anomaly (according to our definition). In numeric univariate case, there could be positive anomalies where you get more than expected, and negative anomaly where you get less than expected.
This was the old problem. It was solved by having groups of experts and journalists.

This wasn't popular because one group of people kept Having their feelings and biases attacked. They were later served by the media empires built to serve their views.

They got their experts and their talking heads to say things they felt needed to be said.

In so doing the first false dichotomy was established - feelings and opinions are the same no matter the facts and the experts disagree.

So the first layer of agreement/expert concord was breached.

This results in the problem you describe.

What we face now is fiction being camouflaged as news sites, and super insulation/echo chambers.

This is happening at the margins. Topics and people which are capable of being attacked in this manner. Later the surface are of attack will increase as technology, technique improve while human fatigue sets in.
The balance sheet entries for a home are the current market value of the property as an asset, and the current payoff value of the mortgage as a liability.

Mortgage interest doesn't go on the balance sheet because it is an expense, not a liability. Other property expenses include property tax, insurance, upkeep and maintenance, repairs, etc.

These expenses do not magically disappear just because a property is a rental. If you are paying rent, you are paying all these expenses, unless your landlord is purposefully losing money on you.

I'm not here to claim that buying a home with a mortgage is the best investment for everyone. That depends on the particulars of each situation. I'm just challenging the notion that buying a home is not an investment.

People buy homes because they expect to get a return, and most do. Same with education. If your analyses comes to the conclusion that that is not possible, then you need to check against the data actually coming out of the economy.
