You will be able to do that anyway by making yourself impossible to overtake, or walking out into the street for example; by definition the car would know where the transponder was as well.

This actually raises a good question that may be even more problematic for autonomous cars; people deliberately fucking with them in a way you wouldn't/couldn't before. Maybe this won't happen but who knows.

Linus is a little behind the times with this comment:

``Other SCM's have used things like CRC's for error detection, although honestly the most common error handling method in most SCM's tends to be "tough luck, maybe your data is there, maybe it isn't, I don't care".''

BitKeeper has an error detection (CRC per block) and error correction (XOR block at the end) system. Any single block loss is correctable. Block sizes vary with file size so large files have to lose a large amount of data to be non-correctable.
Games can, and mostly do, have shamanic value the same as any art (music, film, literature, etc). Even the "dumb" ones. They help people connect and bond and relieve stress. They tell meaningful stories and connect with archetypes guiding people through tough times. They help people find moments of focus (zen?) and release...and much more.
Absolutely, nothing is really known at this point. The leaked power consumption results that we have show that a Ryzen engineering sample uses slightly less power than comparable Intel CPU's (i7 6900k). But we don't know if the leak is real.

So let's wait for real benchmarks (at march 2) before saying Intel is better in power consumption @	sparkling. But keep the following in mind: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13736809

As a Brit it concerns me that somebody can donate the use of such a powerful tool for a political campaign without registration. Especially as the donation was from a foreign citizen.

There is far too much shadiness going on. Yes the horse has bolted with Brexit but there are more elections around the world and if the democratic process _may_ be being distorted then I think it needs investigation.
The question is, is it fast? It annoys me if I hit the shortcut keys and the window takes a long time to pop up, I use Find and Run Robot(1) on Windows and it shows up instantly. It even has plugins, but you have to gasp write them in C/C++!

Any insight for that? Why do you think AMD is good investment (or speculation).
The larger max data rate per cell ( should also 20Gbps in 5G vs 1Gps in current LTE) should also help here - technically. Of course it might be that data caps are just a business/pricing decision and the advances on the network side don't make a difference.

I kind of went with the opposite. I feel that a job that's not as satisfying but pays very well is great, because then I can only do that for three-four days a week (24-32 hours total) and then work on whatever satisfies me personally.

Of course, this assumes you can scale work down. Then again, if "what satisfies me" is something people will pay me for, like in your case, that's equally valid.

One thing that drives me crazy nowadays is the bloody telly and the stuff around: insane warming up (boot) times, insane delay for channel switching. The second used to be immediate and the first almost immediate (I am not talking of very very old CRT which needed a long time to warm up the screen, but 80's 90's models were fast).

And then we have to periodically (like weekly) do a hard power-off and re-init, else the bloody thing gets slower and slower every day after a while.

Isn't that basically saying "fuck liking the thing you do, instead practice doing it even though you don't like it, and if you have to train one of the two, train the latter"?

If I had to choose between liking the thing I do and not liking it but doing it anyway, I'd choose the former. I don't find "how can I be more motivated?" a bad aspiration at all.

That depends if the workload is data-transfer-bound or computing-bound.

If the former, yes you will suffer a massive performance blow even with just one GPU - but if the latter, it's an easy way to upgrade your system.

Personal gain is not always a sufficient explanation, either. Often people do what they do because they think it is right, not because of other motives that you wish to pin on them.
Vim is an amazingly good concept, but the actual implementations completely lack a decent user experience. Like, when you do clearly-suboptimal key combinations (like going past a 4-line paragraph by hitting j 4 times instead of just pressing } once),there should be some side-window suggesting better practices. To be fair, Kakoune does that, but there's still a lot of low-hanging fruit like that.

You might think, but it seems all electron apps are resource hogs.

Minor correction: it was Stewart Brand (of Whole Earth Catalog fame) who said "Information wants to be free". Paul Graham may have quoted it -- along with a multitude of others, since it was first uttered in 1984.

Actually turns out the original quote attributed to Brand is not quite right. There is a qualifier ("Information almost wants to be free"), but that qualifier dropped off along the way.

The relentless and smug moralising in this article makes me feel nauseous. This kind of simplistic worldview is highly toxic. Art inspires. Without any doubt, computer games have inspired a large number of people to get into programming or even mathematics, and this in turn could lead to significant technological progress that may not have happened otherwise. Etc.

tbh, ive been hoping that a paid launcher for windows would come along at some stage because all the current ones only half fit my needs and are probably going to stay that way for a while since they only developed in someones free time
This particular example makes assumptions: that hitting j four times is worse than entering } once.

This depends on typist and keyboard; I use Swedish/Finnish keyboard and touch-type, and hitting j four times happens without looking or thinking. Hitting } requires me to lift my right hand from typing position, hold Alt-Gr, press 0, and then go back to typing position.
Scraping press releases, collecting news from various media outlets, monitoring socialmedia and then pushing all this info to a web/desktop app in real time seams rather trivial...? Wheres the secret sauce?
I think the same argument applies to movies and any kind of fiction in general.
Money has worked really well to share limited resources in a fairly peaceful way.

Making decisions about how to share limited resources in a post-work world is one of the most difficult problem we are going to face, and yet it isn't discussed. Instead, we'd rather claim that Basic Income pixie dust is going to solve all problems.
Twitter was ahead of its time and tried build a messaging protocol on a doomed stack (ror). Then they nuked the third party apps they didn't already buy and the list goes on. I sometimes wonder how history would be different if they deleted Trump's account for trolling while they still had a chance.

I still think a new twitter like service could still be relevant minus the baggage of what twitter has become. They could solve a lot of their issues by quarantining trolls including Trump into a different sub domain.

The biggest problem with most social networks is that once celebrities flock to your service they tend to dominate all discourse and you end up with a dichotomy of leaders and followers.

Facebook somehow manages to still keep trolls from dominating dialogue though it can be suffocating and reddit manages to counter the trolls with quality subreddits for people fed up with trolls.
As an asshole in recovery, I cannot overstate how good this advice is. A mentor of mine once suggested that I do something similar, and for similar reasons. He didn't tell me why, but it's obvious now, and I can laugh about it.

Helping others makes me feel good. I enjoy feeling good.

Helping others magically decreases the number of assholes I encounter in my day-to-day life. Hmm. I wonder what that means?

Helping others is a great way to make friends, to learn new skills, to broaden your worldview, reduce your stress and so on. But, really, the reward is simply in the practice itself.

The beneficial-to-me stuff is a side-benefit, and I think it has to be. This is something that you do for its own sake; you have to make a sort of pact with yourself to forget about any personal gain. The mental gymnastics required to pull that off are difficult to explain, but it is doable.

I'm pretty sure it works for people who are generally nice to be around as well. Perhaps they too are recovering assholes who make an effort to help others.

I'm not saying you are a jerk, by the way, but it seems like you might find a bit of relief by way of dbrunton's advice. Ganbate!

Rather than using shebang notation for running C source files, which as noted leads to code which isn't legal input to a normal C compiler, there is a standard trick to please both the shell and the C compiler:

#if 0
/bin/env cpi "$0"
exit
#endif

And you don't need this cpi program depending on your tolerance for hacks:

#if 0
out=/tmp/$RANDOM
gcc "$0" -o $out
$out
rm $out
exit
#endif

OMG, another electron app that is meant to run as a daemon.

It's terrible. I already have hard times with Slack taking more memory than i would expect from a chat.

Yeah, I know that it's super hard to make native GUI these days, but please if you try to attract developer community with plugins and you have a relatively simple app, don't choose electron for that.

I've been using Hain for the past 6 months, it s great but again built with Electron and can be a memory hog. Also the developer has seemingly become quiet in the past few months. I'd pay for a Alfred type windows version.
And there you've slung just enough mud to implicate Obama in the same kind of antics without offering any tangible proof. And conflated Big Data and propaganda too. Nice.

The Obama campaign's use of technology was well documented - a two minute Google threw up detailed articles from MIT, Forbes, Technology Review.

If you have a substantive point to make about any of that, or any proof at all that the Obama campaign has indulged in the kind of propaganda Bannon et al are neck deep in, you should make it instead of resorting to hand wavy arguments like this.
There would be no necessity to save poor African children, if they were never born.
I think it's caused by Electron being so "easy". Anyone without much experience in CS can write desktop applications with it. Those who do have the CS experience tend to use different frameworks.

So even if Electron is a solid foundation, there is probably a bias towards inexperienced developers in who it attracts to work with it.

I agree, it sounds like the author is arguing that the direction games take needs to change, in order to promote a positive cultural shift.

He sounds like he's thought a lot about what he's writing about, but it seemed like he sometimes spent several paragraphs speaking from the opposite perspective of his own, in a way that was a bit jarring.
Dark fiber means unused. How does that help?
It's not an "edge point". One can discuss the inherent moral goodness or lack thereof of using a certain tool, whereas you seem to subscribe to the view that something is bad if "evil people" use it and not otherwise. With similar train of thought one may argue that nuclear weapons are good for the US to have but not for an evil empire such as the USSR (actual argument that was used by people), or a gun is bad when it's used by a criminal but good when used by someone in self-defense.

You see that in these cases one can discuss the merits of the application but also argue about the whole ban of the tool itself, irregardless of who's using it.

Also if you hate HN noone is forcing you to be here.

I can't remember a single Uber driver telling me he started making more money when he started accepting cash. Most of them said they would never accept anything besides credit card, for safety.
