Printing doesn't require special work to work on different distros. Drag and drop just isn't part of what a window manager does period its more what your file manager does.

Your valid issues are pretty much limited to the fact that software must be packaged for several distros in order to be suitable for distribution on even most systems and file manager integration is still something that requires you to integrate with gnome AND kde to support most users.

It's very true that in terms of hotel booking many consumers still see the big OTAs as the "bargain" sites and are often surprised to find that you can usually get an equal or better rate by booking directly with a hotel chain itself.

The company I work for, roomkey.com, was founded by six of the largest hotel chains to address this problem and bring more direct bookings back to the chains. The OTA duopoly of Expedia and Priceline have many of the hotel chains over a barrel with very aggressive contract terms that do not allow the hotel chain to advertise a lower direct rate than those they supply to the OTAs. And added to this, the OTAs take a pretty eye-watering commission.

However, most of the big chains are able to provide a lower rate to their own loyalty members. Room Key is unique in that we can access and aggregate these lower rates into a one-search solution. But, we are a tiny voice and competing with annual online marketing budgets of over a billion dollars each for the big two OTAs. Our job is a very hard one.

I'm glad articles like this are starting to paint a truer picture for the consumer. It really does make sense to book direct almost every time. It's easier to cancel/modify. You are the customer of the hotel, not a third party. You get loyalty benefits. And more of your money goes to those who take on the overhead of your stay and ensure the quality of your experience.

The OTAs used to be both cheap and convenient. Now they can only really lay claim to convenience through aggregation, and we at roomkey.com are trying to change that too.

The answer is the same to a number of circumstances- diversify your investments so you can ride through short term market fluctuations and the more long term losses give you less of a hit.
Polling usually is not considered to be a real time method. To reduce latency it will consume unnecessary CPU cycle, I think

I agree, but if you're saving you should contribute a little each paycheck and it's nice to do it $50 at a time instead of $1000!
Yes. More and more all the time too.
How so? If I book a taxi and then don't show up they can't charge me a thing. Quite the opposite, they send me a text saying "driver couldn't find you, reply YES if you still need a cab".
For wired Ethernet, a (decoded) frame starts with a 7-octet preamble of alternating 1 and 0 (0x55), then a "start of frame delimiter" which continues the alternation, except the last bit is 1 instead of zero (0xD5 -- least significant bit is sent first). Then the next 6 octets are the destination mac address. If the NIC is in normal mode, it will wake up when it sees a preamble, use the alternating pattern to synchronize its clock, wait for the start of frame delimiter (which is really the two 1 bits together -- in case the wakeup was a little slow); and then compare the destination mac address to its own mac address one bit at a time. The least significant bit of the first octet of the mac address indicates if it's a broadcast/multicast or intended for only one station; this is the first bit sent on the wire, so that the adapter knows to not do the normal comparison right away. Once the adapter determines the destination address doesn't match, it can stop processing the line. Ethernet requires 96 bits of idle between frames (interframe gap), which it can detect to rearm the preamble trigger.

Different versions of ethernet encode the logical signals differently, so the adapter may decode multiple bits at the same time (100BaseTX transmits in 4-bit groups, 1000BaseT in 8-bit groups), so preamble detection and address comparison would likely be a little different, but the same idea applies.

The Ethernet frame page [1] might be a helpful place to look for more info.

Also, as mschuster91 pointed out, an ethernet switch that can do cut-through switching [2], will be able to avoid buffering the whole packet to decrease latency; although it will need to have some capacity for buffering whole packets anyway -- if it's already sending a packet on the destination port, cut through switching isn't appropriate. An IP router can also do cut-through switching, once the IP header with destination comes in (or as much addressing as required for hashing among multiple links, if the destination is link aggregated)

There's a huge gap between demonstrating an effective algorithm and bringing an appliance to market which uses that algorithm. The vast majority of development work on any product goes, not into the basic science, but into making it simple, user-friendly, reliable and safe. This goes tenfold when you're talking about anything related to health or safety.
Well, if you are Hilton, you probably have a deal without that "undercut part" in the contracts. OTAs depend on the big chains.

On the other hand, these undercut clauses are already in discussion for violating competition regulations. So even if there is such clause in a contract, the OTAs may not fight for it.
The Common Lisp answer is 0.3 and not 0.30000000000000004 because those are single float literals: for double float literals, we have (+ 0.1d0 0.2d0) => 0.30000000000000004d0.

I would imagine this is the case for several of the other examples, too.

So you're stipulating the consensus understanding of Cas9's initial action, but arguing that this results in cell death rather than nonhomologous end joining repair?
I've had this a few times too. I assume it's a driver trick to drive in the wrong direction so the rider has to cancel, pay the cancellation fee, and you don't even get to rate the driver in that case so it doesn't affect their score.

I'm not sure why they don't just decline the fare, but maybe they don't see the destination until they accept and they don't want to go there, or maybe Uber penalizes them for declining too many fares and this is a hack around that.
Whatever can be said on the matter was already neatly captured by Feynman

> The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.
I was able contest the fee each time (with an extra step to get it actually refunded rather than a credit for future rides), but the reason I started using Uber to begin with was largely about accountability and convenience, both of which seemed to be on the decline when this was happening. Plus there's something especially insulting about being charged a fee for the privilege of being stood up.

Maybe things have improved recently but their corporate behavior hasn't given me much reason to start using the app again.
Agreed. While welfare programs do exist in developing countries, most of them are nominal; though there is a exception - kind of.

Then we need to build an entirely separate practical education track in the United States, similar to how things work in Germany. We could base it in community colleges to leverage existing mindshare and infrastructure.

I would actually love to see this, but haven't yet thought through in-depth how it would work in the US.

Because right now, nothing like this exists, and until it does, the primary focus of most university students is to indeed "get a job".
Can you elaborate on that? I've tried to find research or demos where people are doing 100+Gbps of useful work in software and haven't seen it. Power 9 will be here soon hopefully, and there's promise, but that doesn't seem like a given.
Well, there's only one way to change that.. I can hardly name one person I know IRL who hasn't copped an Uber rant from me :)
How'd the scones turn out?
Oh man this brings back memories! Some years ago I needed to provide http access to an old code base in a fringe programming language and decided to write a language agnostic web server.

This was when I was just getting started with Erlang so I decided ports were the way to go; I could write a small adapter in the target language and it would just work. After a few days prototyping I found fuzed (it also used Yaws, if I'm not mistaken). I spent many nights reading the source code, so thanks!

The project never saw the light of day because Zed Shaw released Mongrel2, which is based on the same concept, around the same time.
"Safely assume" is an oxymoron. Assumptions are a form of risk taking. The upside reward is that you save the cost of testing (and thus eliminating) your assumption. The (potential) downside is the complete failure of everything resting on that assumption. In many cases, the upside is small and knowable, the downside is hard to predict or contain - i.e. the worst kind of asymetric risk. Thus as a rule of thumb, assumptions are very bad practice, and should always be called out as liabilities in contract terms - e.g. "The cost of repair or rework due to any bugs found in the provided libraries shall be borne by X."
All good points, but keep in mind the 200gbps is somewhat of a gimmick since pcie3 will top out at 128gbps. It's useful for a redundant port, but you won't be pushing 200gbps for a while.
Recently left a startup in that business. The article is spot on.

And there may be technological opportunities here, like open APIs to hotel property management systems or even property management systems as a service....
My local store just started carrying small (1 pint) UHT milk. We don't use milk in our house, except as an ingredient in other things, so a pint at a time is perfect, and now it has a 6+ month shelf life, so there's less planning and feel-bads when it goes sour.
It isn't because humans decides so. But it's the same thing. Just like a child can't consent to sex, a cow can't neither. In Denmark, sex with animals is actually against the law, except if it's forced impregnation, because "we need our meat and milk", or some bullshit untrue statement like that.
I did say almost. In place of an app, a charge and a process to ask for a refund I have to call someone to order a car. Then it shows up more or less on time and costs some money.

Ancestral Climates May Have Shaped Your Nose
> Why

Because I've been around a long time, and know lots of people over many years. The ones who believe they can make their lives better and take action to do so, tend to get results and are happier. Those who believe they are victims of chance with no choice, tend to take no action, achieve little, and wind up bitter and defeated.

Note I said nothing about their circumstances.

I choose the happy path. If you choose the victim of fate path, I am sorry for you. Feynman is a terrible argument for your position - I've read his biographies, and he always chose the happy path.
Yes, we'd engage in awful tactics against a home grown insurgency. Of course I can stomach that; any administration would respond in whatever ways necessary to crush the hypothetical Texans. They certainly wouldn't win as you suggested and were bring stubborn about.

> Bullets probably would be simple structs in a shooty game, not full blown entities.

Why not?

You still need to render bullets, to load/save them to disk, to synchronize them over a network ; some of them move by themselves, they physically interact with the rest of the world, play sounds, and have animations. And actually, many other entities also inflict damage on collision (spikes, forcefields ...).

So from the point of view of your game low-level internals, there's nothing very specific about bullets.

BTW, the same applies with powerups, doors, monsters, spikes, moving platforms, ...
But some bullets might have a locked target, some powerups might disappear after a while, some doors might need a key to be open ... these behaviours are typically not shared between game object types ; I might be wrong, but having a new component/array for each of them also seems overkill.

> The next step beyond that simple approach is to store the components outside the entity. E.g. using SoA that Jon's new language has support for.

For one second I thought you were talking about "service-oriented architecture" :-)
I gave up on reddit partially after they removed the warrant canary and almost entirely after they were was caught editing comments, and the suit responsible was not asked/forced to resign.

Live extremely frugally, invest all savings in the S&P 500, live happily-ever-after on that same budget for the rest of your life.

IMO the key is being happy on a very small budget.
I'm not sure if I disagree with you, or if the exceptions prove the rule. There are some vocal right-wing commenters, but the community reacts rather badly to dissenting voices that are perceived as "fighty" or grinding an axe. I think also there's a certain attitude of inclusiveness that runs contrary to right-wing culture, and things go badly when such concerns are dismissed (for whatever reason, but anti-"PC"-just-plain-talk springs to mind).
for those that are more curious about this, a google-able term is "Roth IRA Conversion Ladder".

An alternative is "substantially equal distributions" if I recall properly.
One way you could tell is lower performance, right? Intel publishes do dpdk benchmarks, and virtio is consistently worse.

Right, so you are just saying no one really understands how NHEJ works at this point.

Have you considered that mechanism (NHEJ) is not even necessary to explain the rise in proportion of mutant cells after the CRISPR-Cas9 treatment? Because while it may happen to some extent, I do not think that is the simplest explanation for what I have seen reported.

I've been thinking this for awhile now, but never bothered to really write it up and keep track... you can check the discussion here (there are some other posts about CRISPR-Cas9 strewn about that thread as well):
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14014098

I have really only read papers other people bring up in conversations online or that get media coverage I come across on this topic. But every single paper I looked into has reported results that fit my explanation just as well as , or even better than, the NHEJ one, and this has been a couple years now...
Simple React Development in 2017
Polling GPIOs is bad, because you miss events. Looking through the source code, the author has functions to get the state of GPIO pins, which send a command over the USB serial port, then read the output. This is fine for things that don't change very often, but if you've got a keypad, or something that may have a relatively short pulse width, you really want a notification that something has happened (GPIO 4 just transitioned from 0-1). The simple way of doing that for this project would be for the hardware to send a message when that happens - its easy to set up interrupts on the MCU, and then send a message back down the serial channel saying what happened. Latency won't be great, but you shouldn't miss things. The Serial interface (over USB) isn't too bad, but will add latency over a raw USB interface.
I recommend Airforce museum in Dayton, OH if you haven't been. It is a huge place so at least a 2-3 day affair.
1) Probably the most manipulative by far. Interesting to learn.

2) Also how driver get the most rides helping to maximize their earnings. In fact isn't this the whole point of surge in the first place? To push drivers to high surge areas? I would hardly call this a "psychological trick" and is very reasonable.

3) How is this a "psychological trick"? This clearly is in the drivers' benefit as it helps maximize the number of rides they take. All their time becomes productive if they get dispatched to another trip ahead of their current trip ending. Also, it's clear this makes Uber more efficient as a platform as they can treat occupied cars as active supply.

4) Is this not simply providing transparency of the bonuses/incentives Uber is offering?

5) Weird but even weirder that it works. Not the first time I've heard of this. Apparently works on emails too. A number of companies use this. A quick google show's it's well known.

6) Not shocking. Seems like relatively standard A/B testing of copy.

7) Some of this is gamification and some is transparency. All standard.

This article to me largely seems like an attempt to play on the recent many bad deeds of Uber for a click-bait article that deliberately perturbs some facts to fit the narrative. This article could very easily have been written about any other company in the world. But writing it about Uber now, generates clicks and upvotes.
We honestly haven't faced much scrutiny from regulators yet (although I expect that may change once we become more popular). We fall pretty squarely into the existing rules on symptom checkers which have become pretty prolific on the web.
Thats great.

Can confirm. Always had fresh milk at home, until at some point my mom also started getting UHT. We'd occasionally (say, once every few months) run out of fresh for a day, and more occasionally she'd request me to use UHT because we were almost out and my dad didn't like it.

Little me wanting to show off I wasn't as picky as my picky dad went with it. Tasted less nice, but it was okay. Then at some point as I grew up and realized what a hassle it is to get fresh (and heavy) groceries more than once a week, I just stopped drinking fresh.

It still tastes nicer, fresh, but I can't care enough to have the inconvenience of having to get it so frequently, especially now that I've moved out. Fifty days another comment spoke of, I have never seen.

Same with music: I borrowed expensive headphones once for a while, and any music I discovered with that sounded crap on my own earphones. The other way around was fine. Anecdotically my dad again spends thousands on that stuff and I'm perfectly fine with lesser quality for a much more reasonable price. I don't worry about breaking my €50 three year old wireless headphones that needed disassembling and soldering once already; I do worry about the ones my dad gifted to us (my girlfriend uses them) which are worth considerably more, and I don't like using them because I might (gasp) scratch it.

This was literally the nature of advertising for the first 99% of its life.
I signed up for Comcast basic cable a few years ago because I was hosting a Superbowl party. I signed up in person at an xfinity store because I didn't want to wait around for shipping. Right after I told the dude at the desk I had a brand new HD TV that I was eager to watch the Superbowl on, he tried to send me home with a cable box that only had one output: (standard definition, analog) coax. I don't even know why they would still offer such a thing, but I had to fight with them to get a box that output HDMI.

I don't agree with the parent's hypothesis that white people have some inherent instinct to start world wars when there are too many of them, but to answer you assertion: while there have been many many disasters in the middle east, they still don't come to the same scale as the destruction caused by the World Wars (and resulting Civil Wars and instability).
And some people are willing to pay.

How much would it cost to offest the advertising income loss?
>I might also make the point that women entering the workforce definitely, by the looks of these numbers, didn't drive a vast expansion in the number of jobs. Rather, it displaced many men who _used_ to have those jobs, and proved its inflexibility at the same time

This is a completely different thing, women entering the workforce did not involve new people entering the consumer market. Immigrants do.
Actually, Feynman has gone on at length about prejudice against certain ideas, and that the people who hold these prejudices are unlikely to change their minds. I also suspect you didn't actually watch the video, so I'm not sure what else there is to say if you're unwilling to listen to counterarguments.

I'm glad you've personally achieved success. It's mildly annoying that you attribute your success to your own inborn merits rather than the mixture of hard work and luck that success seems to be derived from, but you're in good company.

You can indeed close your eyes and choose the happy path. I hope you'll never be cut down by forces you cannot control.
