I cannot have any respect for that position whatsoever until the "small government" conservatives are lobbying to get government out of straight marriage as well. Until then, it's a bunch of bigots who are too timid to own up to their bigotry.
Notice the date on all of these, they are from 2016. I wonder why this story is popping up on HN now.

EDIT: Just to clarify since I am getting downvoted, I am not necessarily against this being on HN, but at the very least the post should have the year in the title to indicate it is old.
If you like IdeaVim and Vimperator, try using a plugin called AceJump [1]. Like Vimperator, you can map the F key in normal mode to activate AceJump, then start typing any visible character or string on the screen. We are working on multi-monitor support and history, and would love to get your feedback. Full disclosure: I am a contributor.

Hard Truths about Obama’s Deportation Priorities
Reading the DoL press release[1], it seems that the headline might be misleading.

It said that they found that B&H "OFCCP found that B&H’s Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse [...] [r]elegated Hispanic warehouse workers to separate, unsanitary and often inoperable restrooms" Previous to that, it says "OFCCP found that [...] B&H’s Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse exclusively hired Hispanic men into its entry-level laborer job group, contributing to the complete exclusion of female employees at the warehouse and the near exclusion of black and Asian employees at the facility." Seeing that all entry-level workers were apparently Hispanic, it seems reasonable that the unsanitary restrooms might be on the warehouse floor, where the staff may have been 100% Hispanic.

Likewise, the press release claims that they "[f]ailed to provide designated restroom or changing facilities for females". Note that above, there were no female employees at that location. Again, that doesn't make it right, but it's also not the case that B&H had women working in the warehouse that had to share a restroom with male employees.

My intuition tells me that the lack of women's facilities was being used as justification for not hiring female employees.

In summary, B&H definitely did wrong here. It's just very frustrating to me that the reporting on this was so shallow.

What is "the old chela"? Couldn't find anything on the web that seemed relevant - I guess this is a nickname for an obsolete rail line, but where did it run?
I like the idea of decriminalising marriage, but it does mean that anyone can define marriage however they want. This brings same sex/different sex marriage into parity, if you do it according to the principles you espouse. So it still doesn't make sense.
> The only one of those for which that makes any sense is a legal presumption of paternity, which we don't need now that we have accurate genetic tests (save for identical twins).

The social purpose of the legal presumption of paternity (especially that that is clearly sought where that presumption is conclusive rather than rebuttable) is not affected by genetic testing.

> Secular marriage is just the husk of religious marriage, sapped of what actually makes a marriage marriage.

The original and overwhelmingly consistent part of marriage (which has always been a civic institution, whatever religious connotations it might also share in particular times and places) is unifying property rights; it is at its core an economic relationship. (Various religious models provide a variety of explanations for why one might seek such an economic relationship.)
How much does Strip charge you for transactions? Is it cheaper than Leanpub?
Yeah. Let's water down the shit out of this. It's a fantastic book even without the profanity and if this is required to get it into the classroom, well, then so be it. The original language makes it even more attractive to some younger readers though. "I'm pretty much fucked." as the very first sentence? Cool, I'll keep on reading.
The poster likely came across it and thought it was interesting enough to post to HN. I haven't looked, but I wouldn't be surprised if the front page doesn't include a few other older submissions.
How much extra space did Apple allow around the battery for swelling? Samsung's problem seems to be that they fit the battery in so tightly that if it ever swells, it's contained by the limited space. Then pressure builds up until it shorts, goes into thermal runaway, and catches fire.[1]

Maybe it's time to require that anything bigger than a phone use lithium-iron-phosphate battery technology, which doesn't have a thermal runaway problem. Most pro power tools already do; it's expected that they will be used hard and abused. So do "Boosted" brand electric skateboards, and many (all?) second generation UL approved "hoverboards". If it's going to be banged around, that seems to be the way to go.

There's a 14% energy density penalty with lithium-iron-phosphate batters vs regular lithium-ion. They're also more expensive. But the "does not blow up or catch fire" feature is worth it. Here's a video of someone driving a 3" nail through a LiFePo battery.[2] Five minutes of heavy white smoke and some runny black stuff, but no flames or explosion. Compare the standard nail test (done by remote control) of a LIon battery.[3]

That depends entirely on whether you are writing for the audience or writing for yourself.

Novels are clearly a medium for writing to an audience. Artists, esp amateur ones, think they can write for themselves and still create a novel. They should stick to their journals.
With all due respect, insulting people who lack relative power, and declaring them mentally unfit to run their lives does not make you "a person lacking privilege".

Do not think that you're fooling anybody.

You're deliberately using the language created by the social justice movement in an attempt do discredit it by claiming it applies to yourself in ridiculous situations such as this one. It's embarrassingly transparent.
Previously std::collections::HashMap was used with the default hash function --

and then the hash function was changed to FnvHasher --

and then better use of quad core with futures_cpupool --

[9.44 secs] http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/program.php?tes...

and now use of std::collections::HashMap has been replaced with an experimental hash table inspired by Python 3.6's new dict implementation --

Debunking Economics by Steve Keen. The book is pretty horrible, but his arguments seem reasonable and interesting.
I think the focus on speed is counterproductive. Increased productivity isn't the only — or even the most important — measure of value.

I enjoy using Vim (Emacs Evil mode these days) because I can edit more fluidly without having to shift focus and context switch. My hands stay on the keyboard, my eyes stay on the screen, and I don't have to think about "how" to achieve my goals — I just think about what I want to achieve and muscle memory takes care of the rest.

I might edit more quickly, but that's a side effect of using a tool that allows me to focus deeply and maintain that focus for longer: both of which are vital to flow and satisfaction with my work.
It's also interesting to note that this is not a prosecution, but a compliance review for federal contract requirements. I'm unsure if the requested injunction would carry the force of law or merely put at risk B&H's federal contracts.

Love the demo, good work! However my cars got stuck in a fairly "stupid" way, both in the same place, when I tried to break their usual path. Maybe too low exploration / exploitation ratio?

About the series: there are quite a few of those around, but most of them are difficult to follow for the mathematically challenged. So, can you explain it without needing to include mathjax.js? If so, you would definitely stand out. :)

But the battery is covered (had it swapped out on the retina mbpro (2013) and mb air (2012)). That's one of the main reasons to get Applecare. You can at least swap out the battery once for free before the three years is up. I even forgot to tell them and they did it for me anyway. Sounds like they were just shirking their responsibilities in your case.
If I buy The Martian in a year will I get the normal version of the safe for our precious children version? If I buy it on Kindle will it magically update in the future to protect my brain from the badness?

Or will there be an adult version and a child version?

IDK, I find this kind of thing really stupid and pointless[1], but then again I don't have kids so I doubt my opinion matters on the subject to those that do.

Building on this, the general approach you're describing is a "sparse" data structure. For example,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_array

A cousin to this approach would be using some type of space partition with the assumption that most of the partitions represent large, uniform (empty or solid-filled) areas:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_partitioning

You can see that these are fundamentally related ideas- pay for the complexity of the data you store rather than its volume.
Why are electron or web apps acceptable but Qt with e.g. a material look not acceptable?

I just don't get it. The Qt app will be faster, better looking, better integrated with OS apis much saner to develop (QML is really productive and what react would be if it could have is own DSL).
It is safe to assume that people with non-trivial power are very seldom sincere when making public statements.

If Dubai's elite's descendants will be riding camels some decades from now, then why does Dubai have a national wealth fund?

The truth is that Dubai's wealth fund may invest in YC or in VC funds, and some of those mocking Dubai's future will be working indirectly for the elites that run Dubai. To distract people from such master-slave reality, a bit of self-deprecation can be charming.
I find using Vim more natural when I'm spending time in the command line. I'm an entrenched Windows user but I love the power of the linux command tools.

Now thanks to the GNU Tools packaged with Git, you get Vim and OpenSSH as lovely extras. It's really nice to be able to switch back and forth between editing on Linux via SSH in Vim and then back in Windows.

If you're searching around and moving files via the DOS prompt, getting your daily Docker/Vagrant fix it becomes much more natural just to open Vim edit the file and close it.

Plus you can add the solarized colours to the DOS prompt and you get lovely syntax highlighting too.
One thing I didn't see discussed at all (mind you, there were thousands of comments on various threads) was crowd sourcing the search for exploited domains in people's browser cache (as opposed to search engine and archive caches).

If I understand this, it "simply" matches against the already known list of known to have leaked domains. Right? But what about potential other leaks that didn't get cached by search engines but that might live in people's caches??
It depends on the person. I did have a amazing high school math teacher who became interim director of the school who quite frequently used swear words. However, he did it usually in a entertaining rather than raging way. He was very popular with the students and a very effective teacher. Others would never swear and yet others occasionally. Just like normal people outside of a school setting. No parents ever complained are were concerned about it. They were just happy their kids were learning shit.

I think your point is fair, but there are also some humans (who are not just politically correct ideals) who don't lace their speech or writing with swears, even under duress or stressful conditions - they're still talking like humans, too. It would be no less raw or authentic if the character was one of these people.

To be clear, the character is a foul-mouthed variety of person. But if he weren't, and the book were absent of swearing, it would not seem any less authentic to me.
Maybe he's making negative-space cut-outs to fuck with TSA.
This is pretty interesting. So, personal story:

* About a year and a half ago, I thought about getting into this field. I built http://lederboard.com as a result - it works pretty well, actually (plenty of bugs behind the curtain) but the idea was to try and open it up as a standard.

* If I do pick lederboard up again, I will likely convert it to use this open standard.

* My goal was always to have the 'features' of lederboard not be in the annotations themselves, but in the moderator controls, the ability to follow sites and specific users, etc., and to basically act like reddit-enhancement-suite for an internet-wide commenting system.

* However, I realized this was a truly tremendous mountain to climb. Like, crazily huge. So I wound up going in a different direction.

In any event, I think that the guys at Genius should take note of this and consider it very seriously. They raised a whole lot of money and, as far as I can tell, this is a direct shot across their bow and it has the backing of W3C, which is huge. I am pretty happy I didn't wind up in the middle of that fight. Though maybe I might get back into at some point.

In the meantime, I am focusing on easy-to-use encryption: http://gibber.it . I think that is probably a little more important right now. For background, I am a practicing attorney with a pretty substantial practice in software, startups, corporate finance and information law.

No way.

The main function of the mitochondria is to transform ADP to ATP. A good analogy is that ADP is an uncharged battery and ATP is a charged battery, so the mitochondria are the rechargers.

The ATP can be used in other parts of the cell to make something useful, like moving or building a molecule. To use it, the ATP is split and it produces ADP. So they are like a battery.

The function of mitochondria is totally unrelated to the function of CPU and brain.
Weak attempt. The mind is what the brain does. The very same way your browser appears on your screen.

Good philosophers, mostly eastern ones, tried very hard to establish a distinction between products of imagination and adequate representations of what is.

The classic example is how the brain conditioned by hundreds of thousands of years by Mother Nature readily mistakes a rope for a snake. Notice, that there is nothing arbitrary here - just wrong interpretation of an appearance.

Modern, based on statistics hipster's science could be compared to a bundle of snakes.)
The offending company has a bit of a history of this sort of thing; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%26H_Photo_Video#Controversie...

On the fourth offence, I think it's time to consider that maybe it's a deeper problem. Looks like it's a "family company" (that is privately-held); these can sometimes be surprisingly dysfunctional, because the "boss" doesn't really have to answer to anyone.

EDIT: From the NYTimes article: 'Lawyers for B&H offered $112,000 in what they called a “take-it-or-leave-it good faith offer.” The department left it.' - Seems like a bizarre thing to do; it's not like the Dept of Labor's really in it for the money.
I read the section on sequential numbers as just illustrating a worst-case scenario of the case that could happen with either a naive hasher or malicious input.

As far as I can see all the graphs but one use random numbers, so hashing won't add anything given good randomness.

I've heard good arguments why linear probing should perform as well as quadratic probing when using Robin Hood bucket stealing, e.g. http://codecapsule.com/2013/11/11/robin-hood-hashing/#commen...

> Note that even if you reduce modulo a prime > n, you'll still have the identity over the first n numbers.

Which can be great! E.g. Python uses the identity function for number hashes, because if you're inserting mostly sequential numbers into a dict this gives you better cache performance.
See my top-level post, where I hypothesize that the racial issue w/r/t restrooms might have been incidental to other issues with hiring and promotion.
In Germany water bottles have an automatic markup of 25 eurocents/bottle.
Every supermarket has special devices that will scan the bottle barcode and give you back 25 cents for each compatible bottle you put in - the money is delivered as a coupon you can use at the cashier to pay for stuff (you can also ask for cash if you want).
I don't buy it as the main problem. 60fps is not asking for very much from a terminal emulator. VGA text modes can handle it, my old 486DX laptop can handle it, and XTerm can handle it (even fully software rendering everything to a buffer). It's possible core text is to blame, but this seems like an odd problem for an emulator to have in 2017.

Ask HN: How do you follow new comments on a post?
I often like to follow a single post, which can have an active and lively discussion in the comments.

I may come back a few hours later or the next day, to see if there are new comments. But these comments are often buried in multiple threads, and clicking the [+] button just hides threads, even with new comments.

I would like to see new comments on a post, similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments, but only for a single post. Is this possible?

> Our culture believes swears are unprofessional and crass.

Who is 'our' here? Cursing is part of the language in many industries. They are just words with added emphasis. Saying something like 'crap' is akin to saying 'awe shucks' and does a bad job conveying the seriousness of the situation. Using a word like 'fuck' in the same context does convey an additional seriousness of no other word.

I don't curse that much, but when I do it is to make a point. If I was stranded on Mars looking at the road ahead as this character did, I absolutely would be cursing.
I'm basing my assumption solely on the numbers... the vast majority of programmers are male, which can only mean either men are "better" at the job, or that some other factor is causing it. Since I don't believe men are necessarily better at it than women, then I'm assuming it's the "other factors". That's the bias I'm talking about. I don't know exactly what it is (surely a combination of factors), but there has to be some sort of cultural explanation for it if you don't subscribe to the notion that it's in the DNA.

Bias doesn't necessarily mean discrimantion per se... it could be biased views of women themselves towards careers (which I think is what Rob Pike was getting at in this blog post... and hence that having more role models might offset this bias).
That's not terribly convincing argument. Effectively MOND means adding a single free parameter to the model and dark matter means adding a entire continuous distribution to the model.
You'd be surprised. The problem with regulations is that they have done their job so well that a subset of people now believe they are not necessary and that the market will "take care of itself". See also: vaccines.

It's sometimes said that the Puritans coming to the colonies were not fleeing repression and seeking freedom, but seeking freedom to repress others.
Thanks, I was wrong when saying "fingerprinting". The fingerprinting technique is actually quite reassuring. I was thinking of that he says

"But if you use git for source control like in the kernel, the stuff you really care about is source code, which is very much a transparent medium. If somebody inserts random odd generated crud in the middle of your source code, you will absolutely notice. " , which I still think is a very weak argument.

It might or might not be true for any particular developer, and his argument does not refute the claim that the SHA1 integrity checks for that code is being rendered useless. I specifically recall that Linus previously described the hashed chain of commits as something which would prevent malicious insertion of code. And this has now, at least to some degree, been compromised.

He did provide some solid countermeasures and migration plans, but I think he could have been more acknowledging to all the people who predicted this attack. It would have been a good idea to prepare for changing hash function eventually.
