Somebody will post a slanderous comment on a company's website, the company will be very unhappy, and sue the comment provider for blending the comment into the company's website.

Is that free speech? Or is the comment not protected, because it's shown on the company's website, and thus should be under the company's control?

You can definitely preserve and transfer wealth provided you are disciplined enough do certain things.

Be careful to not reproduce in excess. This is the main thing. You don't want wealth to divide too rapidly between quick generations. Ensure you invest heavily in training people to teach them how to grow their wealth through age old tested ways: Gold, Real estate, well trained children. Ensure your accumulation rate is above your spending rate.

Modern day trusts too come to mind. Kennedy's, Clinton's, Rockefeller's and Rothschild's of the world.

Wealth doesn't last for long if you don't have the discipline for it. Most people who tend to lose wealth are generally the ones who completely lose a grip on reality. Deviate so far away from the very reasons that bought them there. Bad things happen from there on.

To be clear, I wasn't talking about music, wifi, brightness on the car, I was talking about it on my Thinkpad. I'd only use units of time (hours) to measure a laptop's battery life, I wouldn't use time as a unit for measuring a car's battery capacity.

I would be very surprised if that 1T infrastructure spending bill ever sees the light of day.

Firstly, the US has a massive budget deficit and with upcoming corporate tax cuts the question will be where the money is going to come from. Secondly, the US is approaching full employment at ~5%. Now sure there is significant underemployment but you have to wonder if (a) there is enough people to build out all this infrastructure and (b) if the states even have enough shovel ready projects. Because they sure didn't during the GFC when Obama was looking for an infrastructure stimulus.

Small correction: Operators aren't a CoreOS-specific thing, and they're easy to install on any cluster.

Ultimately, the "Operator framework" is just a pattern: you represent some class of software (e.g. etcd, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL) as a ThirdPartyResource, and you have some controller that monitors those TPRs, driving other resources toward the desired state.
In the case of Kamprad, it is definitely merely marketing. He hates paying taxes, and used the same passion for optimizing furniture to optimize his company structure. IKEA is one of the most complicated legal tax-evasion structures around. It is believed that a few percent of the worldwide revenue - not profits! - are going straight into Ingvar's pockets, tax-free. That's quite a feat.
I think the fingerprint argument is pretty weak actually. There is still a lot of unreadable content in git repos, including binary blobs in the kernel.
I don't like buying IKEA furniture for two reasons:

1 - With a handful of exceptions, IKEA furniture looks like... IKEA furniture! It reminds Henry Ford and his "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black."

2 - Most important, while I appreciate its hack-ability, it's important for me to get quickly an idea of the budget involved. I understand that there's no standard IKEA wardrobe, because you can assemble it as you like, but when I see an exposed example I'd like to know the price of the whole thing as it is. If I don't know how much it will cost, more or less, I can't decide whether to buy there or elsewhere, thus I'm not ready to dive into the detailed calculations of N shelves and X hooks.

There's no reason to be outraged by a single anecdote. There are dozens or even hundreds of factors that qualify a person for a job beyond both their raw coding skill and gender.

If someone is taking a job at Trader Joe's because they can't find a programming job, there's a good chance there's a reason for that.
I have two minor, but useful, uses:

One is that the prefix is probably unique for small sets. So it's both easy to read and parse and then use just a prefix for doing something like stopping a docker container.

Second is that a short prefix on a larger set of data is probably not unique but at a rate I can predict. I can take a random, and repeatable, sample of data by selecting everything with the same prefix. This gives me a fast way of taking a random sample from a database (or file or anything else).

I'd argue the fetishization of a specific p-value threshold, be it p<0.05, p<0.01, or even p<0.0001, is a much bigger problem. There is an excellent quote from Rosnow and Rosenthal:

[D]ichotomous significance testing has no ontological
basis. That is, we want to underscore that, surely,
God loves the .06 nearly as much as the .05. Can
there be any doubt that God views the strength of
evidence for or against the null as a fairly
continuous function of the magnitude of p?”

Wouldn't you prefer a few correct but tenative studies that hint at an effect while paving the way for larger, more expensive replications to a scenario where the data is sliced, diced, and tortured to hit some arbitrary p-value threshold?

First, this wasn't airport security, this was immigration. Secondly, CBP officers routinely ask questions to incoming passengers -- even to Americans! Binary Trees? I don't know -- but neither does anyone else because we're talking hundreds of thousands of people per day and only a self-selecting few post their encounters on Twitter; all of the oil field workers returning from Africa probably aren't posting their every encounter with Immigration on Twitter. People having their bags ripped apart by Thai Customs aren't likely getting featured on Hacker News. How are Serbians treated when they transit the Frankfurt Airport? I have a friend who is a designer who was asked to open his computer and show some of his designs and I have had others who entered Germany/France with no problem. Most people don't post play-by-play of their travel experiences -- so we see a very narrow and potentially inaccurate view based on stereotypes and anecdotes rather than fact.

All of this "anecdotes are now valid data" nonsense seems to be contradictory for a group of people who purport to be interested in software engineering and the implied respect for statistical validity that would encompass.

Why is this even a story? Immigration officers ask questions to detect inconsistencies -- nothing at all new about that-- nothing even wrong with that. The guy couldn't even answer it and was still admitted. If he was arrested because he couldn't solve binary trees, now THAT would be a story.

Speaking as someone who programs FPGAs for a living, they are good for three things (I'm simplifying a bit here):

* interfacing with digital electronics, implementing low-level protocols, and deterministic/real-time control systems

* emulating ASICs for verification

* speeding up a small subset of highly specialized algorithms

Of those, only the last one would apply in the context of this thread. However, caused by their structure and inherent tradeoffs, they are completely incapable of speeding up general purpose computation. As for specialized computation, if they heavily rely on floating-point ops, a GPU will nearly always be faster and cheaper.
I disagree. King county voters just funded a $54 billion, 30+ year light rail and transit development plan last November[0]. I actually think this new rail plan has a great chance of happening.

Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, and surrounding areas have a lot of enthusiasm for new transit. The traffic is getting outrageous, and people are genuinely interested in investing in alternatives to cars.

Heck, I take the light rail back from the airport nearly every time now. Plus, every time I drive to Portland I get trapped in Olympia traffic, and there's literally no highway to Vancouver proper. Fast, reliable rail would be a godsend!

The republicans just busted the budget when bush 2 was president, so I expect that to continue. I figure this won't happen because they had the liberal states. But the employment situation is interesting, because we have multiple different worlds in the US. the coastal tech and big city tech economies are mostly great. It's the in between places that trump supports that are doing terrible. Those places need jobs, and there aren't any.
Ah, the good old prisoner's dilemma.
Regarding your point 2 - have you been to an Ikea recently? They always put up prices for the way it is assembled in the showroom, so you see something cost €324, of which the main corpus is 156, the added part on the left is 68, etc., broken down into the boxes you actually have to buy. So you should get a pretty good feeling for what your version of the furniture will cost.

Amd about the look, well, that's just subjective taste, isn't it? I actually like the clean lines of their, and almost everything in my apartment is Ikea. From time to time I visit other furniture stores, because my girlfriend likes browsing there, but I never really find anything I would want in my little world at home. Seems like a typical case of YMMV...
Because I am doing a lot of numerical code in Fortran using the Intel compiler on Windows for production and GCC/GNU Fortran for prototyping on Linux I was a bit scared by the title. This is a problem with the equality comparison with doubles, something I try to avoid as much as possible, as this was the first thing I learnt to do 25 years ago... never compare double for equality.

Anyway, the bug report is linking to a very nice research paper[0]: "The pitfalls of verifying floating-point computations", which even so very technical is a good read on the subject.

I think yosef misinterpreted JWZ.

In large applications a bump pointer allocator plus generational gc is really fast (yes, stack allocation is fast too, but you can't always do it). A compacting gc avoids arenas, object reuse, or other awfulness. gc enables lock-free / CASed data structures; otherwise memory ownership is too complex to implement (though there's a Rust guy doing really cool stuff [1]). And gc in a threaded program is wildly easier. Unless you liked eg COM-style explicit ref-counting.

As for lisp plus large programs, the large program I worked on did end up with a bespoke (unfortunately) type-free internal language in order to orchestrate itself. Large = low millions of LOC of c++.

I have never been particularly comfortable with the idea that you can simply assume that if the hashes are the same, then the data must be the same.

The fact that collisions happen so rarely (and sometimes only after the a hash function has become compromised) makes this even more dangerous.

It's like a couple of decades of strong hash functions has made people forget what hashing actually is.
Making things from hydrocarbons is less of an environmental issue, since the carbon ends up becoming plastic instead of being released into the air. It's still worrying that some clean freak countries like Japan wrap everything in 3 layers of plastic that can't be recycled.

I kinda disagree with the premise about UDP:

> It would greatly improve the networking of these games.

This is not accurate, i know it's like a rule of thumb that UDP is faster than TCP, but that's naive, there are cases where UDP will end up being slower, and to be honest, it depends on lots of variables, and at many times, the congestion control, packet ordering and all the bells and whistles that comes with TCP is well worth the little performance penalty, assuming that in that specific case it actually is slower than UDP

And of course if I'm wrong, someone will let me know :D

I think the mismatch here is that you are not implementing a DOM in the way that most people refer to a DOM. Technically it is a "Document Object Model", so personally I don't think you are "wrong" per se, but it is confusing.

Most of the time when people talk about a DOM, they are talking about traversal and updating of a tree that represents an HTML document. Specifically when people are talking about a "virtual DOM", they are talking about building a parallel representation of the browser's DOM with nicer traversal and update methods. You then need an efficient update mechanism between the "virtual DOM" and the "real DOM".

Code that gives you a handy way to generate HTML programmatically is very useful and I've written similar things myself many times. I don't think you'll get much traction calling it a "virtual DOM", though, even though it implements a Document Object Model.

They have solid wood options, but you have to hunt for them. Also, they tend to up the price and it's "fancier" looking.

Your comment makes me wish I had the space to get back into woodworking, but I just bought Ikea today because it fits into a small car and apartment easily.
Another reason IKEA optimizes for low weight and small size is to reduce transportation costs (which also means lower fuel consumption). Shaving off a few mm here, a few grams here, and deconstructing this or that part means that suddenly you can pack twice as many book-cases in a container, and reduce transportation by half.

Of course, that's all moot if it's offset by the stuff breaking and needing to be replaced in half the time...
