Blind people tend to listen to things on fast speed because they've had more practice. I can imagine blind people listening at that kind of speed.

No. And if I were, it would certainly not be a side project any more...
There is a point nobody here is making, which is that all the examples use the wrong signature for callbacks, which is function(err, result). The problem is not interop between the two, which is fairly easy - the problem arises when not using standard signatures. Seems like all the fuss could be avoided too because Mocha supports both promises and callbacks.

function asCallback(promise, callback) {
return Promise.resolve(promise)
.then(result => callback(null, result))
.catch(callback)
}

// returns a new fn that takes same args which returns promise instead
function asPromise(fn) {
return (...args) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fn(...args, (err, result) => {
if (err) return reject(err);
resolve(result)
})
})
}

I'm not sure that it's valid in any way to say that we share a common intelligence with cephalopods. We share the same planet, and the same fundamentals of cellular biology, but I wouldn't go much further...
You're assuming another intelligence values the same things as humans.

> I would assume dolphins still die from lack of food, disease, and predation.

Hell, we can find humans that don't value such things. Take a look at Christian Scientists, they'll forgo treatment of disease out of fear of rejecting the "divine Principle".

Dolphins use tools to hunt and catch prey. They also engage is pretty complex behaviors to eat.

It took humans roughly a hundred thousand years to find a solution to death from a lack of food through agriculture and we have opposable thumbs.

why does this matter?

Because anthropogenic CO2 is a tiny fraction of oceanogenic CO2. It's like sneezing into the wind: it does not change the direction of the wind.

We are breaking the equilibrium.

What equilibrium? Equilibrium would imply a stable climate, but the climate has been changing for millions of years, long before humans arrived. Are you saying that the climate wouldn't change without humans?
This is not really accurate. A unique_ptr<T> move assignment must check the target location to see if it's null, and if not, free the underlying object. It also has to clear the source location. This is more than just a compile-time abstraction compared to raw pointers, even if modern compilers can elide the code most of the time.

Also, the lack of checking leads to unique_ptr<T> dereferences potentially having undefined behavior (i.e. whenever you try to dereference a unique pointer that is null [1]).

> make it seem like you are not above doing whatever it takes to get what YOU want and feel you deserve.

Absolutely true. I'm also not an idiot and I apply this technique selectively. If I have to prevaricate to get something I want in a business setting, I have no problem with that. It's business, not a church confessional. However, when I'm at a company I align my desires with theirs and we BOTH get what we want.

Honesty and integrity in a corporate environment is a myth. To succeed you just have to project an illusion of those qualities. This is especially true higher up in the ranks.

Do you think your manager would tell you you're being laid off after having asked him? Hell no! He'll lie by omission or commission to save his skin. Is that honesty? Is there integrity in it? No! It's business. Get off your high horse.

My life goal is to retire early so no one fucking tells me what to do with my time. It's working out so far, so I see no need to change my means.

That's a good guess, but I think what you're speculating about is the abstracted level on top of the gene design that creates the 'hardware'. Yeah, that'd be cool to figure out the actual blueprint you'd need for neural connections -> conscious, but knowing how that system was designed in the first place may reveal that you're just one on branch that is the tree for the 'architecture'.

There is no formula for becoming super rich like Marc Andreessen. There is only happenstance. Work plays a role in success and in the attainment of riches, but the only thing that can make another Marc Andreessen is being in the right place at the right time.

It is critical to understand that the super rich are not superhuman, though some may believe they are. They are just lucky. That doesn't mean they aren't entitled to their belongings, but it's bad for everyone to believe that such wealth translates to superiority or to some type of hidden knowledge.

Reviews are an unecessary evil, you shouldn't do them if you don't have to and you shouldn't tie actions to them.

If someone is doing well, tell them right then.

If they keep doing well, find ways to promote them into roles that better benefit them and the organization.

If someone is screwing up, tell them right then.

If they keep screwing up, put them on a corrective action plan. If they don't improve, only then do you consider firing them.

Most US states allow fire at will, so building elaborate paper trails is rarely necessary and just a waste of time/butt covering.

I think in a software startup mindset it could be easy to think that more efficient => better, but a point not mentioned in the essay is that written Chinese is simply beautiful compared to e.g., the simple 26 character alphabet, which is quicker to learn.

Who was the first modern philosopher?
Go does allocate and free at runtime, it just isn't explicit because its a garbage collected language and the garbage collector handles most of the freeing for you. Different GC'd languages handle allocations differently, some have a keyword, some do it whenever creating an instance of a type over a certain size.

With C, C++ and Rust allocating memory often boils down to calling something equivalent to malloc and free. While the cost is not precisely known all modern OS provide guarantees are the time to execute relative to the size of the amount requested. This is almost always such a simple and fast operation that allocation is what gets optimized only after the algorithms and data structures have been tuned and this is a known bottleneck. Many application never get to the stage of optimizations (Games almost always do, stupid fixed time frame budget).

Consider the amount of work the GC does and understand why any GC is generally considered no-deterministic: https://blog.golang.org/go15gc
According to the article, Football95 is the top password.

No it isn't. It's like describing US society in the early 20th century and before as largely patriarchal - which was true. Yes there were outliers like the Women's suffrage movement, but they were just that - outliers and not most of society as a whole.

OK - You must play Knights and Merchants.

Its a game from 1997 - and someone on HN linked to an updated version that is coming out/out now but... You need to play the original bugged 1997 game as the macro-economics are so much fun;

Y have to built a stone masons hut to get stone

Have to build a wood cutters hut to cut lumber

You have to build farms to get wheat

Have to build a farm for pigs

etc

but you have to build out serfs who have to build the roads and then ferry all the goods back and forth between each business

the fun part happens when your little village reaches around 100 serfs and the AI fails and all your population starts starving to death because the serfs attempt to go to the Inn to get food/beer/wine (which you have to make that supply chain) but there is no food because the village is to big and your little serfs start going HNNNNGGGG and evaporating...

plus its multy-player and the challenge is fun when youre trying so hard to build your little village and the oponent comes in with lie ONE freaking soldier and can take out your whole village because you dont have enough resources to make weapons or armor or gold or you ran out of coal....

its a blast. frustrating, but fun, blast... give it a try

> but now that they knew about that data, it should have also applied equally to Trump's claim.

But Trump's claimed number doesn't match that data either (nor has Trump claimed that was the intended referent.) It can be interpreted to approximately match a different potential measure of workforce participation (that is even less like an unemployment rate as usually understood) that the fact checkers went out of their way to find, which is why it is rated merely "Mostly False", rather than flatly False.

But the two claims aren't the same, and do not have the same relation to the facts.

Twitter drops lawsuit, saying summons has been withdrawn
If I'm underpaid it's because I took a job with bad pay. Presumably because I failed to demonstrate I was worth more, was incorrect about being worth more, or I chose to accept an offer that didn't match my value.

I can take personal responsibility for any of those scenarios. Transparency is not the root cause of them. Taking responsibility is in general a better option than assigning blame. Acting in bad faith because of perceived bad faith just feeds into a downward spiral that makes the world worse for everyone. You don't act right because it feels good, there are practical reasons for it.
A bit of a non-story but I felt obliged to follow up after the initial discussion attracted more interest than I expected yesterday.
If only that were true. Yet as far as I can determine there is no available Java library which allows for full reading and writing of the JPEG/EXIF file format. There are a number of Java libraries which allow for reading and encoding JPEG image data but none of them offer complete support for the metadata.

The JPEG/EXIF format itself is a mess, just a completely horrible design. It's one of those old-school file formats like MS Word .doc which isn't so much of a "format" as modern programmers commonly understand the term but more like a straight dump of memory chunks into a file. That's not so bad if you're programming in C but surprisingly difficult in higher-level safe languages like Java.

No, non-determinism on its own can't reproduce all the predictions of quantum mechanics. That'd be a different theory, and one I believe has been disproven experimentally.
It seems you're misunderstanding what people mean when they talk about that freedom. It's not that we can't already earn 15k doing _something_. It's that we can't earn 15k working solely on a pet project for a few years. Think Stardew Valley -- the dev relied on being a movie usher and his girlfriend's grad student stipend to get by.
Do you seriously think a TSA agent would just say "Oh this phone isn't yours and you can't unlock it? I better just let you take it on the plane!"

> "Self-driving cars, for example, could potentially put 5 million people involved in transportation jobs out of work....."

On a work day, NYC subway provides 6 million trips. Think of all of the car drivers it is displacing. And then there are the buses! And that is in NYC alone. Just think of all of the drivers mass transit has already displaced throughout the nation!

Then there is intercity transit: think of all of the drivers displaced by planes, trains, and buses!

Self-driving trucks? Trucks have been displaced by trains, barges, container ships, ....

Cars, even electric ones, create air pollution which impacts health as well as greenhouse gas. Electric cars are charged from electric power plants -- most of the US electricity is generated by carbon-based fuels -- coal and gas.

Using Via which transports multiple passengers [part of Manhattan, part of Brooklyn, Chicago, Washington DC] (or Uber pool for example) at least helps to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas compared with single passenger vehicles that at least helps to reduce air pollution / greenhouse gas.
> On another note, 3-4 years ago I had access to a large anonymized bank/credit card transaction database from a well known company. It had about 1-2% of all transactions in the US by our estimates.

Star Wars A New Hope release date. The constant was called aLongTimeAgo.
Well, it looks to be heavily influenced by XKCD (both the font and the overall concept) so yes, literally comical :)
I'll admit it does get a little philosophical, but:

No. The "pilot wave", in pilot wave theory, is a mathematical object identical to the universal wavefunction of the many-worlds interpretation. As such, if you believe that computation is all is required for consciousness to exist (and there's no separate "is real" tag on the math), then it's an incoherent concept.

I fall on that side myself, but I can't convincingly argue that it's the right philosophical stance to take. I've yet to see anyone give a proof, it just seems most likely.
Who will fact check the fact checkers?

Well, perhaps these trusted sources should implement a system similar to Quora/StackExchange but for opposing arguments?

Lots of comments call into question the biases of sites like Snopes/Politifact/etc. and allowing some sort of adversarial response would help claims about 'leftists wanting to control our minds.'

Maybe it's just a widget at the bottom of a fact check post leading to a StackExchange'd subdomain. A wiki or subreddit could work as well. Anyone looking for a side project?

That's a valid question, for which you shouldn't be downvoted, but you should know that it's not anything about it being a force of will by the animals, more that it's a new behavior of how the animal cells are diverse. In other words, maybe the animal is in higher temperatures that trigger a gene to begin executing this particular 'circuit', which causes proteins to form that make slightly more responsive nerve cell ion channels. Where previously we assumed that variation was spread mainly through genes in DNA, this headline shows that there are other ways beyond just DNA-> RNA-> protein.

I may have totally borked this attempted analogy, so hope that helps.
How to Componentize a Monolith
Does modern C++ or rust allow you to say "deallocate this pointer here" (like free or delete)?

I was under the impression that Rust (and safe_ptr) deallocate at scope end, which could also cause framerate issues (unless you do ugly scope hacks).

I do agree that you're unlikely to bump into this issue, though.
It's actually bizarre to see someone on HN conflate software and hardware. Your argument appears to be, "Hardware can be observed to operate properly, therefore software necessarily gives correct results."

There are a variety of arguments to make here, from the flaws in individual models, to the secrecy of source code, manipulation of data, politics, historical examples of incorrect scientific conclusions, and the general fallibility of humans (who perform the science).

But bother with any of those when you are claiming that, if software exists which ostensibly intends to perform a task, it must necessarily do so correctly. And then you accuse others of illogic and selective acceptance of science. That's just...bizarre. In the context of discussing belief vs. knowledge, that smacks of what one might call a "true believer."

That's a fair point - seems related to the fact that people aren't writing as much anymore.

Anecdotally, I feel like Japanese picks a better point in the tradeoff space than other languages - Chinese characters are used where they get some leverage, with phonetics for everything else, even with a bunch of half-kanji words. Still, I'd imagine some of the less-commonly used ones will get dropped over time.

On the other hand, English+Emoji+Txt simplification seems to be approaching the same point from the other direction.

Yeah, the western RPG genre had become these "inventory management" or "taking notes" games. They made up for the lack of enhancing and balancing combat and developing AI with these gimmicks. Ultima series is one of the worst: you have to manage food, light sources, runes, mantras, finding spells, spell ingredients, spellcasting, moonstones, moongates, gems, two extra alphabets, mapping yourself, and so on and so on. When you start to think about it, it's like having a second job just to kill the bad guys.
Google forcing their employees to go through training to avoid bribery, sexual harassment, and antitrust problems for the company is not due to anything other than saving the company money.

In 1982, when I bought my BBC micro it was 2000 guilders + another 1650 for the disk drives and yet another 1000 or so for a solidisk RAM expansion. Back then that was about half the price of a small brand new car. I had to save like Scrooge in order to be able to afford that machine and the first year was spent mostly waiting for my cassettes to load or save because once I bought the machine I could not afford the drives.

Compare that to the price of this beauty and you see what 35 years of progress can bring you.
