I travel a lot so pretty much everywhere along the east coast. I haven't been to the west coast since Uber has existed. Dont get me wrong, I've had great service with Uber as well but it's totally hit or miss.

I still use it though because it is much more reliable than a cab most places and usually cheaper and I don't have to worry about payment.
The main reason that there are no binaries for Windows/Linux it's because I don't have these machines to compile the project against. I will eventually create binaries for all platforms. Letting it compile by node (node-gyp) would require me to distribute all of libtorrent/sqlite/boost sources which could be feasible - I'll investigate on that.
The food was OK ;-)

Networking was great too, and lots of old friends to meet.

Should contract enforcement pervade every industry? Or in other words, why would enforcing contracts be a "regulation" specific to airlines?

As far as I know, regulations would mean a set of rules spelled out by the executive branch of the government, imposed upon businesses that qualify by existing in some industry. Contracts seem to be way broader than that. But I am not a lawyer.

I agree that some form of standardized terms for communication should exist in the market. And I don't know enough about airline regulations to say they don't already exist. I assume the article in question would not tell me if such regulations exist, as it does not advance the "deregulation is bad" narrative.

> There's tons of indie names (e.g. Shovel Knight) or older games (e.g. Skyrim) but those aren't "system movers" as they're already out on every other major platform.

You know, I'm not sure. Those games are out for other home consoles, sure—but the Switch is not, precisely, a home console. Its form-factor makes it not just a substitute good for an XBO or PS4, but also a substitute good for a 3DS or an iPad. You know, a thing you buy for your kid to play with on car-trips.

And that means that those older and Indie titles—which wouldn't see very high attach-rates when ported onto current-gen home consoles—might fare a bit better, because they're reaching a market which didn't have access to them before. You can't play Skyrim on an iPad or a 3DS.
A lot of email clients give a warning "this email might be spoofed". The good ones are more likely to send you straight to spam.

Still, most people are unable to confirm the origin of an email. The warning, if any, is likely to be ignored.

What's the huge cost? Most land reptiles and mammals spend most of their time idle anyhow, including humans. In many cases sleep is arguably preferable as the animal is less likely to get itself eaten. If you're not foraging or reproducing, your best bet is to hide and stay still. Because animals, especially land animals, tend to be specialized for particular parts of the day or for other scenarios which preclude 24/7 activity, there's not much that can be done in that idle time. Except improve neurological function, apparently.

Animals that need to be constantly in motion have other adaptations.

For modern humans the cost can be immense according to our cultural calculus. I'm not sure it's an evolutionary cost. Only time will tell whether those burning the midnight oil have better reproductive success.
Ah, that makes much more sense then! Thanks for the clarification.
> I think Node is also a framework

I think we have different definitions of frameworks. So no point in arguing over that.

> Maybe things have changed, but last I knew PHP had a command line switch that tells it to not act like a web framework

I honestly don't even know about a command line switch. I just write my script and execute it with the CLI (php test.php)

Please tell me this has a name

> Although I can't resist asking - are you saying PHP is a good web framework? How does that fit with the idea that PHP is not a web framework?

Not sure you exact intent, but as far as PHP being a good language to write a web application in, sure, it can be. IMO, it depends on the application and use of the application.

Cabotage restrictions really don't have anything to do with why Ryanair (or easyJet or Wizz) don't operate in the US though; it has no overlap whatsoever with the market they operate in, they don't do connecting flights and if the economics favoured the low cost model expanding to many more routes in the US then Southwest or US-based startups might have made more of a go of it in the last two or three decades (the US doesn't exactly suffer from lack of people with the knowhow and access to capital to start airline businesses if they think some routes are under-served). It's also possible for sufficiently motivated foreign entrepreneurs to circumvent with subsidiaries and joint ventures: the AirAsia operations are a good example of this.

Cabotage might kill off a handful of potentially viable routes between the largest cities for relatively unusual multi-stage flights, but it's not really the reason why most domestic routes end up being local monopolies or duopolies. Emirates might have an interest flying an NYC-San Francisco leg, but it's difficult to imagine a foreign competitor being interested in a Denver-Houston route, never mind Denver-Wichita or Denver-Durango
As one of the original authors of OpenStack and one of the top contributors, I may have a unique perspective. I think the OpenStack community made two related mistakes:

1. We thought that private clouds were generally valuable. In 2010 it seemed like everyone was going to have a private cloud. It turns out if you are a midsize business, having a rack of "cloud" doesn't really offer you much benefit over having a rack of managed vms. You still need to pay someone to manage that rack. The vast majority of the benefit of cloud comes from having a ton of workloads, which means a public cloud or a huge service-provider sized business.

2. We focused on community building by supporting all use cases. The best way to build an open-source community is to bring everyone in. The community grows fastest that way. Unfortunately, it also means that the product quickly becomes an unfocused frankenstein that is decent at everything and good at nothing. Projects like docker and mesos are suffering from the same problem.

The end result of these mistakes OpenStack is good for certain use-cases. It does really well in large companies that need a public-cloud like environment to manage their infrastructure and can hire a team of people to manage it (e.g. comcast, verizon, e-bay, wal-mart).

I don't know that the exodus is due to endemic problems so much as the market finally waking up and realizing that public cloud is the future.
"Epstein went on to add that the auction did what it was supposed to do: Find a meeting point between supply and demand for an increasingly sought-after physical resource."

All it did was assign a monopoly to a company that must increase the screwing the customers get, to make back the money they just gave the government. Thus in effect, customers money in the future is being handed to the government today. Whoever can screw the customers the hardest can pay the government the most for the privilege of doing so.

Just like for profit prisons, this could work great, IF you included some metrics for the prisoners, or in this case, the customers. If the customers had some interest or say in this at all. Since the public/customers are the parties who matter in the sale of public properties, they should get more say than "well, just don't buy it."

Not buying it is getting to cast a vote after the polls have closed, and it doesn't really get counted when it needs to.

Actually I'm not sure about the "community". The credit for this idea goes mostly to the person behind https://github.com/bittorrent/sqltorrent - but I don't think there are projects using this technique just yet.

I'm hoping TorrentPeek can become something like ZeroNet eventually - or maybe the ZeroNet guys can incorporate this technique in their project.
Saying this is a "C" thing is a bit silly.

And it's not exactly like C struct packing rules are particularly burdensome cognitively. They're not. The only real question is whether packing should be the default (Rust) or optional (e.g., Pascal).

Suppose you're just writing a struct to a file, which you'll read back later. It can't be the case that later you might fail because you got recompiled with an updated struct packing algorithm in the compiler. Sure, you might say "use an encoder", but if you don't need to be concerned with byte ordering, for example, then writing a struct as-is is the simplest and fastest encoding, and this is a totally legitimate design.

Any time you need stability, you need something like C struct packing rules.

IMO C struct packing should be the default, as that is safer. Though I can live with it being optional.
> I think a part of me just feels I should do slightly more challenging work, where either knowing algorithms well will help, or having some greater domain knowledge will help

Is there anything preventing you from doing this in your free or spare time? Can you help out with an open-source codebase on github, for instance, or do you have an idea for a side project you could start and contribute toward?

While it won't be something you can point to as a part of your "career", you can still leverage the experience provided its documented in some manner and you have something to show for it. Just consider it another part of your portfolio.

For instance - in the domains you mention (operating systems, parallel programming, graphics algorithms, embedded systems) - there is one area which you can play around in at home which can encompass all of them (and much, much more). That area is robotics.

For a single individual, its probably one of the most difficult domains to explore, because it literally can encompass so many sub-domains and experience levels, depending on how far you take it, and what kind of project or projects you decide to pursue. Not just on the software side, either - there'll be plenty of mucking around on the hardware side as well (you might even learn welding and CNC machining on the side - or, if you're ambitious, make your robotic project a CNC robotic welder!).

There's also the fact that having such a side project (whatever it may be) can be a way of taking off the pressure of the day-to-day work you currently do. It can serve both as a hobby and a means to learn things you don't or can't learn in your current employment. As you develop the project, be sure to keep notes, and track of what you're doing, and put that info into your resume in some manner to illustrate what you know, what you learned, challenges faced and overcome, etc.

It may ultimately lead to that better job you're envisioning. Worst case scenario, you end up learning a bunch of new skills which you can apply to future projects or a later position (or heck, maybe even your current one).

Oh my god, think of what this would do to commerce, in terms of a capitalist society.

Suddenly, you can take a drug that decreases your need for sleep by 50%. People only need 4h of sleep per night now, for a full nights' sleep - 3h, if you're willing to skimp a little, 2h isn't unheard of (in the way that only getting 4h of sleep a night, now, isn't unheard of either).

Suddenly, there's a significant advantage in the hands of everyone willing to take this drug. Students are expected to study more and harder, because they don't need 8h of sleep every night. Entrance exams to schools get more difficult. Software developers are now enticed to work longer hours - longer hours than they already are. Labor / shift workers (hospitality / food industry) are expected to work longer shifts, and they have to, because businesses have to be open longer because more people are awake for more of the day.

Now, also, you have to consider: this is just sleep, in terms of brain repair. Your body has to put itself back together every night, too - repairing microscopic muscle tears, fixing bruises, etc etc etc. Your body would probably start slowly falling apart on 2-3h of sleep per night, even if your mind was fully rested.

I really, really hope this doesn't happen.

I think you're right about keeping the long-term goals of the company in mind when doing the equity split. A couple months in the span of 6-10 years is nothing. We'll stick with the 50/50 split based on this.

On the vesting part IANAL so we'll stick to what works and not try to monkey with the vesting schedules.

Thank you for the advice!

Medieval Origins of Easter
It always amazes me to read articles like this. How come I don't need more than 3 hours of sleep a day and its been like that for over 15 years now?

I sleep "late hours". I go sleep around 8am and wake up around noon. I don't eat breakfast just coffee. I work most of the day on different projects, eat quite large dinner at 8pm, then every day go for 45 min to the gym, around 10pm and then 20 min walk. After that its about midnight and I start working. I don't get tired until 5am but then 2 glasses of water "wake me up". By 8am I'm in bed truly tired.

I been running this schedule for 15 years now, no symptoms of nothing. I don't smoke and don't drink btw. I barely watch TV (never found anything interesting; I take breaks on my PC watching some travel-related documentaries)

Edit: perhaps once a month I feel truly tired and usually on the weekend, I tend to sleep about 8-10 hours. But that doesn't happen often.
> Virgin America is usually regarded as one of the better airlines, and personally I've had pretty good experiences with them. I'll pay an extra twenty dollars for the extra customer service. It would have been nice to see the company grow larger and become a threat to the big 4 (Branson himself wanted to go in that direction), but it got bought/merged with Alaska Airlines. Alaska Airlines has announced they are killing off the Virgin America brand sometime in 2019.

True. To my experience, though, I think that Alaska's customer service is comparable to Virgin's. I despite most US domestic airlines, with the exception of Virgin, Alaska, and to a lesser extent Delta.
Yes.

Low LG G5 Screen Replacement Cost
But why is DLC fundamentally bad?

The same reason preorders are bad: it creates perverse incentives for developers and publishers.

The problem people have with DLC isn't that developers are being demanded to release feature-length content, it's that developers are incentivized to lock stuff that's already developed and in the game behind a paywall. Essentially selling you content that you already purchased.

I'm not too worried about Nintendo succumbing to this problem, but there are some other devs out there with no such scruples. EA and Activision come to mind..
You're ignoring the difference between playing in the living room (using a RetroPi) vs PC. Two very different experiences.
Even more important than mobility in the back is knee stability. Also people think that injuries happen at the gym, this is very rarely the case. Usually you do the small amount of damage at the gym that then cascades later on due to your improper seating posture, your slouching, then bending over to lift something at home doing yardwork, then bam all of a sudden you are in the shower and your back locks up.

In the case of improper squating without proper knee stability -- you won't notice a microscopic tear immediately, but it's very possible. You'll tweak something and say "hm, that felt weird." Then a week later you get out of bed to check on the kids, step on a lego and bam -- blown knee.

Don't read pseudo-science lifter articles folks -- you can't rush into this. Do your stretches, and build your stabilizer muscles. Squatting builds your glutes, but you need stable hips and knees.
As far as we know...

It's possible that our invention of computers was and continues to be a slow brew to simulate something innate within us...

I wonder if an old-fashioned travel agent could take care of that for you. Failing that, maybe the concierge service many credit cards offer, or even something like getmagic.com.

I haven't tried these myself, but it seems like one of those things you can pay some money to get someone else to worry about it for you.
It depends. It's more likely in the older ~80's games done by poor game writers. The great companies like Infocom and the modern games done by those like Emily Short are excellent works of art.
I was doing some back of the envelope math for a blog post last night[1] and it looks like we're not that far away from the limits of what's possible - at least for non-reversible computing. Getting rid of a bit of information as in a Nand get is always going to cost at least 2.75 zeptoJoules and current transistor technology can do it for an attoJoule, so just another factor of 360 to go. Of course then we can try to transition to reversible computing to get around that[2].

This seems like a good change. For Chrome, I only use Canary + stable. And having beta as a period for a wider audience with relatively lower bug tolerance to catch things before they hit stable makes sense. But Chrome's Dev channel/Firefox's Aurora never made much sense to me.

I wish Firefox Nightly automatically did the new-profile thing like Firefox Dev Edition/Chrome Canary does, though. Not being able to run them side-by-side out of the box is quite annoying. (Maybe this has been fixed since I originally installed Nightly?)

One thing that I'm having a hard time understanding from the article is whether this means Firefox is moving from a 18-week major version cycle to a 12-week major version cycle? Because features will no longer need the extra 6 weeks in Aurora? "Faster release cycles for platform features" kind of implies this, but it isn't stated anywhere explicitly.
Ask HN: How should I study algorithms and datastructures?
Dear all, I am currently studying towards a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science in Sweden. Right now I am attending a course called "Algorithms and datastructures", where we get an introduction to sorting, searching, priority queues etc.

If feel that I need to spend a lot of time in order to really understand the essence of the algorithms, which gets very time consuming when you need two days only to understand insertion sort and merge sort.

How do I study these topics the most efficiently? How well should I know certain algorithms and datastructures?
