I see lot's of those on Tor browser. There's nothing about entering street numbers, just identifying images that include street numbers. But perhaps that's also valuable. And what about the other major types, such as rivers, mountains, store fronts and street signs?

While the other person was way to negative in their response, I can definitely see their point. How does being a CTO automatically confer knowledge of how DNS works, especially in very technical detail? Seems to me a clear case of an appeal to authority argument, which is usually (and probably also in this case) a logical fallacy.

Single decree is a write-once algorithm. You can't use the same instance again, for another update of the associated value.

So just replacing bizur' should "register" implementation with a single decree paxos won't be sufficient. You'll need to do something more elaborate (creating more instances as you go along).

This kind of instance management isn't required in bizur.

I actually agree with you - to a large degree, counting the calories is enough to change behavior in itself, without even attempting to modify your diet at all.

The point remains, though, that it really doesn't matter how accurate or precise you are, simply that you're gathering data and using it to make measurable changes in your diet.

Your way is perfectly fine too! The nice things about calories (just like money) is that they're a universal medium of comparison, so you can compare your cakes to steaks. But if you simply want to look at a category and say "I am eating N of these, I need to eat N-1 to lose the weight", that's perfectly functional!

The thing I hate is when people make totally non-empirical diet changes, and then lament that they aren't losing weight. You just have to measure and adjust.

I understand the need to defend unpopular speech, but this is such a weird hill to die on when so many other things have unjustified stigmas attached to them. It'd be nice to hear people yelling about how it's supposed to be a free country when a gay or trans person has offended someone by existing.

Richard Spencer is still on Twitter, and still definitely has an audience—though the video of him being attacked is now very well known. Alex Jones has the President's ear. Steve Bannon is an advisor to the President with access to classified information. The President is, well, the President, despite plenty of material that could be and was used to accuse him as a pedophile. (I realize this is pedantically incorrect—I also realize the general public doesn't really care.)

Milo fared less well, but apparently appearing to advocate pederasty was a bridge too far even for many of his fans. Directing a harassment mob towards a celebrity was a bridge too far for Twitter, despite years of spewing the same not-exacty-PC views.

And espousing supposedly PC views isn't exactly safe either. Remember that time Anita Sarkeesian received multiple bomb threats for threatening to say unpopular words in public? What was THAT about, and why weren't the freedom lovers jumping to her defense in droves?
Ask HN: How to start a headless process and logout, continues?
The ultimate thing I'm working on is scraping and storing into database/display into a web application. This is a personal project, I just want something that runs and when I get home I have new things to look at sort of thing.

I can do this from the perspective of a timed event with a web page open using JavaScript/AJAX and PHP/MYSQL. I'll keep the PHP/MYSQL part.

I tried to work with CRON but it didn't work out well.

I recently bought a raspberry pi zero and setup a socket-server so to speak with a usb wifi adapter. So I want to be able to plug that into a wall, and then ssh into it to start a process, then that runs on its own. I'm just not sure what I'm looking for here, where I can have something trigger PHP but the process won't end when I log out of SSH.

I've primarily (pretty much only) used a LAMP setup and haven't done anything server side that involves processes. Usually everything is triggered by a client-facing thing. Whether it's asynchronous loading or a get/post. Not something that runs on its own outside of /var/www/html (public)

I did come across CGI maybe that's what I'm looking for. I've also seen that you can communicate with a MYSQL library with C++ I think last time I looked. It's just that I'm used to using the PHP htmlsimpledom scraper.

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts talking about Go maybe that's something but definitely outside of my scope at this time.

Just some thoughts:

You could ask why they chose to use that word. Some people just aren't aware of racist connotations of certain words.

You could ask how they would feel if someone used a slur against a group that they were a member of.
This is why using some kind of bytecode as portable binary format has been a long tradition on mainframes, almost since the early days, when it was executed via microcode.

Widom is great. I can credit her Stanford online Databases course with a good bit of my career as it stands today - she is a thoroughly great teacher, and explainer of things.
It's not. Every time you use a tool its an opportunity for it to be detected and if you are going to lose one it would be better for it to be one that you don't care about that much.
But this one isn't so it doesn't get the benefit of the doubt based on higher quality peers.

/r/AskHistorians may be a fine place to discuss history but without sources the comments can be treated as nothing more than opinion.
You're treating it like well-established fact that people's career choices are based on gender identities which are fabricated by the environment they're raised in. Where is the evidence for this? Where are the oddball societies with female construction workers and all-male nurse workforces? If this is just an "accident" of the memetic evolution of societal gender tropes, then why is it so unilaterally consistent across cultures that have developed separately?

The biological explanation is, by far, the Occam's razor null hypothesis here. To be convincing, you would need to supply compelling evidence that children who have unusually low contact with traditional societal influence early in life make less predictable employment choices. Otherwise, this is a just-so story like all the rest of them.

Alternately, you could start up a prediction market on how likely the accused is to commit crimes in the future based on potential sentences, sell shares of their future income in order to incentivize proper rehabilitation, weigh the various registered values of voters to determine how much money and time should be sacrificed for the sake of seeing the guilty punished, get the case analyzed by various remote contractors who have proven records on predicting verdicts, and various other ambiguously utopian/dystopian "improvements" to the legal system of today.

Another thing in the "etc" bucket is the type of degree possessed. Men are currently more likely to have a more technical degree (EE, mathematics) which tend to get higher pay. The Payscale study cited in an earlier comment, for example, only controls for education level, not degree.

I like that code is shown with a proportional font. I've been coding like that for a couple of years. It took a week to adapt but code is far easier to read now. After all we're using proportional fonts for nearly everything, why not code?

Compare proportional on Gitly to fixed on GitHub, same code.

https://tensorflow.gitly.io/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflo...

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorf...

However it's not what most people see in their editors. I wonder if anybody noticed or complained about it.

Two things that can go wrong with proportional code:

* Alignments like this

a = 1
long = 2

you can't do that unless your editor is very cooperative. That could make sharing code with coworkers difficult.

* Sans serif fonts don't distinguish between I and l and I didn't find a proportional serif font that does look good enough for code.
Instead of the user having to click the "I am not a robot" checkbox, then the submit button (or w/e), this basically binds clicking the submit button to reCAPTCHA. So whatever checks clicking "I am not a robot" would run are instead done automatically when submitting.

No idea how the additional prompts (e.g. "select the parts of the image with a street sign") are shown nicely in this "invisible" UX though.

Having lived in both countries, I wouldn't say that the UK system is in any way better than the German system. Rather the opposite.

In addition to that, the German system isn't really a private system. The premium and health coverage is set by law and the insurances are not-for-profit entities. There's the possibility to get private insurance for parts of the population, but you're not dependent on private companies.
Exactly. The current system is taxing eggs before they hatch into chickens. You're paying taxes on potential income rather than actual income. If the eggs break before they hatch -- too bad.

The weird thing is that if a stock loses value, you can't claim a deduction for the loss until that loss is actually realized, yet you can get taxed on shares before any gain is realized.

It's all Monopoly money until it becomes actual cash.

On the command line, take a look at "nohup". Programmatically, read about how to "daemonize" (which involves calling fork() twice). And if you actually want to run a server more persistently (not just keep a process running that you launched from SSH), modern init systems (such as systemd) make that easy to do by handling daemonization for you, such that your code doesn't need to do anything special.

One of the differences between a raft group and a bizur bucket is the granularity and the overhead of that granularity.

Bizur buckets can be very small (10s of kb), and the overhead for them is minimal (10s of bytes).

What would be the overhead of having a raft group for every 32KB? Would it be practical / a good use of the machine's resources?

It depends on whether you're presented with the v1/noscript version or the v2 captcha. Desktop users may prefer the noscript version since it's faster to fill out with a keyboard if you're already typing into a form anyway instead of having to switch to the mouse.
Bananas and smoothied are very good for you. But it partly depends what you're doing. They're great for inclusion liver glucose levels to fuel a workout
Me too. If you want to spam or hack surely you'd just outsource the captcha solving to a cheaper country. Or even sites like 2captcha that give you 1000 solves for around 50c. You can still make a robot but just send the captcha to a service like that, and that's not even one of the cheapest ones. Especially when you consider what the real value of the data (or even spamming) is.
For the non-touchbar macbook that you get for the similar price, Dell has better ports (you're forgetting a dedicated charger port when it can be charged through C as well along with two full Type A ports), CPU is better (6560U vs 6360U), larger batter (56Wh vs 52.5Wh), higher DPI, aspect ratio is arguable - I prefer 16:9 for media consumption, keyboard with much better travel.

Depending on your demands, Apple is worse than Dell.

The only advantage the new macbook pro has for me is that it runs macOS by factory, has apple support and the touchpad is bar none.
> Having your JIT-ed code running directly on the CPU? What could be better then that?

Although it looks good, Lisp Machines, Ada Machines, Mainframes have repeatedly proven that JIT on a general purpose CPU allows for more optimizations than having it on the hardware.

Hence why mainframes like IBM i, have their JIT on the kernel, not on CPUs.

Your theory sounds more plausible to me. I'm male and find an all-male environment incredibly competitive, toxic and tiring to myself. It's very hard to get reasonable discussions and almost always degenerates into competition.

So I can imagine that you just bail if you aren't conditioned to put up with that kind of crap.
What's wrong with showing me relevant ads?
Other than some of the weird licensing I've heard (by know very little) about, I love so much about ARM / RISC based systems but the one thing I find myself needing is higher single core clock speeds, not just on ARM but on x86 as well. Considering how popular and accessible interpreted languages such as Python are these days and yet how hard it is to write multithread code easily I often find processes bottlenecked by a single core, I'd love a high clock speed (3.5ghz+) dual (or more) CPU ARM setup with at least 24 physical cores and a sensible amount of L1/2 cache, but as far as I'm aware it's not really something that's readily available. Something like that would hum with modern Python / Ruby apps or even an ARM build of PostgreSQL and a modern (4.10+) kernel with NVMe storage (if that exists / makes sense for ARM) running either CentOS 7 + some trusted third party mirrors such as elrepo/epel or Fedora Server which I have not actually tried in a production environment so I can't comment on its updates stability but have found it the most reliable desktop desktop distro (excluding macOS).
"Every five hours, DropboxMacUpdate will check its registration database for apps, then check the paths of those apps for the installed version and send them to the server."

How About Hypothetical Indexes?
It doesn't seem to be fundamentally different than reCAPTCHA. They will probably replace the click-this-checkbox box with a set of elements already on the hosted page. Only indexing a page's HTML isn't good enough -- it's better to also know how people interact with the HTML. Unfortunately, as soon as they click a link on Google, Google is no longer invited to the party, and is blind to how the user interacts with the page.

The next best thing a search company can do is have every website willingly track their users' mouse and key movements, and then willingly send all of that data to the company's inbox. In return, Google provides them with a binary classifier trained on all of the user click-stream/click-move data which determines whether or not the user is a bot!

It's an OK deal for the website owner; it's a great deal for Google. Not to mention, the user is now sending anonymous data to Google, at the expense of the website's Privacy Policy.

Google gets website owners to willingly install live-cameras on every corner of their website, and then willingly send over all of the footage, in exchange for "protection" from bots. Cough The Government gets citizens to willingly fill out lengthy tax forms, and then willingly send over a bunch of money, in exchange for "protection" from criminals. Cough
It's certainly better than the current way, but single payer is not the only way. Look at Germany for example, where the government sets minimum coverage and the premium (in a band as a % of the salary which the state will pay if you don't earn enough), but coverage is then provided by not-for-profit entities. This allows some competition by eliminating inefficient providers while making sure that everyone receives the same treatment.

I think such a system would work much better for the US as it's easier for the state to build such a framework than to come up with health care for everyone. The NHS (UKs single payer health provider) is the biggest employer in the state, which gives you some indication on how complex it is to provide universal healthcare for everyone.
Well... Why do you need 2PC if nothing is sacrificed? :)

If you choose things like Raft (or other RSM), you can get a consistent key space to do txn over keys.

For a metadata store like etcd, one RSM group is OK. Performance/availability is better than something requires 2PC.

For database systems, there are quite a few txns that can actually fall into one shard and can bypass 2PC.

Of course, it is highly depend on the workload and use cases.
