Good ol' RFC 1149. I heard that some companies would use it as a bozo detector when accepting bids for network hardware. You'd list it as one of the protocols you expect the switches to be able to handle and look more carefully at anyone who said "yeah we support all of that" because they weren't your pal, buddy.

One vendor on one of these bids (maybe Cisco? I can't recall) answered back that while they don't currently support carrier pigeon they are considering it for a future feature enhancement.

Since some people were asking on how to get started with Erlang, some time ago this MOOC was posted on HN for an intro to learning Erlang/functional programming.

What I liked about it is that it assumes you have an imperative programming background so it isn't entirely like learning at a very slow pace (which leads me to lose interest): https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/functional-programming-e...

The next course after this is on the concurrency part of Erlang which is also on FutureLearn that I'm currently taking. It has video clips from Joe Armstrong teaching concurrency (one of the creators of the language).
Isn't avoiding dead ends one of the reasons you use a puzzle dependency chart?

I always think of finite state automata, but these adventure games with all the different inventory and actions can be remarkably hard to model.
It all depends on your background, where your product is, etc. In your place, I would start reading. Any answer here would parrot what has been written a thousand times before.

You should know that getting even a small angel investment, for many, is quite tough -- and it takes time. If I were you, I would consider instead just focusing that time on getting the product far enough along that people either can use it or get excited about it. Get to know startups in your area and make yourself known in that community. Just chasing investment without an MVP that has clear growth is usually a waste of time.

> "People always talk about Moore's Law falling apart, and it seems like people didn't see it coming."

EEs in the semiconductor industry have been talking about it for the past 20 years; they didn't know exactly when it would occur but they knew it was coming. It's only software developers who were blissfully unaware.

EDIT: The interesting thing about the end of Moore's Law from AMD's (and everybody who isn't Intel) perspective is that finally the playing field is moving closer to even. Before, Intel always had the most advanced fab processes because of the vast amounts of money they funneled into it, which meant that everybody else had to have a better architecture than Intel chips just to get equal performance. Now that Intel is losing that process advantage, it should become possible for everyone to compete purely on the basis of architecture again.

Not with Docker alone, in the same way that you can't do anything with OpenStack alone. It requires a lot of plugins. You can use docker/kubernetes with OVS and have a somewhat workable SDN solution.
The iPhone numbering/naming scheme seems pretty simple and organized to me. Minor upgrades to the iPhone 7 are the 7+ and maybe 7s; major upgrade will be the iPhone 8.

On the other hand, the iPad's numbering was eliminated on its 'primary' model around the time of what would have been the iPad 3. That, in conjunction with the four different sizing options, seems moderately confusing and not consumer friendly. Not sure that that's why the tablet market is declining, but it might be contributing.

Technology is not the biggest challenge to reforesting, people are. What good is planting millions of trees with robots if poor peasants graze their goats in the area that kill them all? To succeed you need to get them to buy into the outcome.

China's efforts on the Loess Plateau has been held up as a success in reforestation which has also benefited the local agricultural economy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK8JNXHcBMA

"The area of restoration on the Loess Plateau in China is the size of Belgium and thousands of years of subsistence farming had made it barren and infertile. In 1995 the Chinese Government, with support from The World Bank, took drastic action to rehabilitate the plateau, and local people -- seen as both perpetuators and victims of the devastation -- became part of the solution. They completely transformed 8.6 million acres of wasteland into hyper-productive land. This caused a 300% increase in agricultural income and enabled millions of local family farmers to break free from entrenched poverty."

Turkey, just like Iran, will never be a convenient target. It has a population way bigger than Iraq and Afghanistan combined, it has a massive, modern, western-equipped military [1] and a huge amount of geopolitical leverage due to its control of the Dardanelles as well as European-Africa-Asia migration routes.

Ask HN: What is everything that can be known about a C program?
I've been browsing through some C references, noticing tools and such. And I've been wondering:

What is everything that can be known about a C program? What tools are needed to get the information. What can you do with the information?

If you're not sure which category your tool/technique is in,
just pick one, or don't bother categorizing it.

Some categories:

- Environment, before a line is written. Not including anything below.

- During/after edit, before compiling. What can the source tell you?

- During "building:" compiling, linking, making, configuring.

- After building, before execution.

- During execution.

- During debugging. The debugger is not the only debugging tool.

- After execution/debugging.

I'm not sure about Edge (I stay away from IEs, just out of habit), but comparing to Chrome Firefox uses less memory (I use 100+ tabs). And it has nicer UI than Chrome.

EDIT: And as others mentioned it has adblockers on the mobile version (which syncs with my desktop one).
In Federal prison it is common to use books of stamps as currency. When I was there (95-99) it was around $5 per book of stamps. But it was more common to just give someone a commissary list (for the prison store) of items totaling the amount that they owe you.

For larger amounts, you'd have to have someone on the outside send money to the other person's people on the outside. These days, I suspect Bitcoin makes this much more efficient (for transfers happening outside the prison).

> People always talk about Moore's Law falling apart, and it seems like people didn't see it coming.

People didn't WANT to see it coming. The data that it broke were back at 65nm but very much at 40nm and 28nm. RAM hasn't scaled in years.

However, the history of technology is littered with the corpses of those who bet against Moore's Law. Combine this with the fact that your job basically depends upon Moore's Law continuing, and you have something similar to the Wall Street collapse. I can bet against it, but I lose my job if I'm wrong, and I lose my job if I'm right. Better to just close my eyes and cash my paycheck.

For consumer evidence simply look at embedded microcontrollers. Note that RAM and flash haven't been scaling every 18 months for a while.
This explains my brownian motion.
How we fine-tuned HAProxy to achieve 2M concurrent SSL connections
If you look real close, you may notice how Edge is a closed source application limited to use on one platform, and how Chrome, albeit being nominally open source, is utterly under the control of one major corporation for which it functions mainly as an aggressive marketing platform.

Firefox has a niche as a uniquely customizable web browsing application until later this year, by which time Mozilla has decided it should self-immolate.

Some of us are far too close to running out of browsing options.
This to me is up there in dumb Nintendo decisions together with calling it "Wii U" and discontinuing the mini NES. Did they really think anybody would pay $50 for that? 1-2 Switch like Wii Sports was a perfect demo of the system and everybody should get it for free to entice them.

Oh, I totally agree that the 2nd screen was awesome when properly used. I had the same theory around the Shiekah Slate/Gamepad parallel. They've done similar things with an item's in-game aesthetic matching the system it's on (most notably the Pokedex in several games matching the hardware it was released for).

Yes, you're correct and I probably should have mentioned that.
8 Best Time Tracking Software in 2017
That remains to be seen.

I just built a new PC and put an i7 in it. The Ryzen 1800x is more expensive than an i7-7700k, while having worse performance.

Obviously AMD makes cheaper versions where that comparison doesn't hold.. but the advantage for AMD here isn't clear cut, and so there's no reason to believe there will be a mass migration to AMD.

Besides I've heard this kind of rhetoric about AMDs cpus before.. and yet I've never seen the sort of switch like you're describing. If it were true that everyone was switching to Ryzen CPUs, they would be sold out everywhere and AMD would be talking about how to scale up by an order of magnitude to meet demand.. none of that has happened.

AMD did a good job with Ryzen, and they'll probably post some great numbers next quarter... maybe they'll get to 5 or 6b over the next year... but Ryzen hasnt changed the selling proposition for AMD. It is still: in the low to mid end desktop processor market, AMD is cheaper and has similar performance.
Add a question: "How do you make sure you're working on the correct thing?"
I was just looking at the Alsek valley on Google Earth the other day. It's (obviously) a water-level route from behind the mountains to the coast, and abuts the drainage divide with the Yukon.

The entire Alsek-Tatshenshini-Kaskawulsh-Dezadeash system's upper reaches occur in glacier-scoured valleys so ice damming or stream undercutting could greatly change the direction rivers flow. The northwest-southeast trench that includes Kluane Lake and continues beyond Haines Junction is the Shakwak Trench [4], created by the Denali fault.

Here's a map of the article's glacier and the surrounding area: http://i.imgur.com/tL84Bd0.jpg (edited from the park map [1])

A different scan from a 1985 topo map: http://i.imgur.com/cVmWLlP.jpg (cropped from [2])

Meanwhile, 90 kilometers downriver (south) along the Kaskawulsh->Alsek, the west-to-east Lowell Glacier used to squish the north-to-south Alsek River against the far valley wall, damming it and causing a lake to extend upstream [3]-- the last time this happened was around 1850; the source estimates it'd take a year of being dammed for lake to extend up the Dezadeash to Haines Junction.

Datacenters seem very unlikely. In the past, Google has shown a very strong bias toward building datacenters in areas with very cheap hydro or tidal power. Solar is a possibility here, but building a datacenter with enough solar panels to power it and enough batteries to keep that power uninterrupted at night and on cloudy days seems unlikely. (It would explain the size of the site and proximity to the Gigafactory, though.)

I would bet on some sort of test location for various Google X moonshots - self-driving cars, Loon, Wing, and probably others. One challenge Google has with its Mountain View location is that everything that goes on there gets reported in the press; it's very difficult to keep new projects secret there. The race to self-driving cars (& subsequent industrial espionage) is proof of that. A giant test site in the Nevada desert would make it much easier to hide new products. It'd also explain the size & proximity to the Gigafactory; I'd bet that several of these new product ideas require batteries in some form or another.
Yes, but it's completely different if the airline decides to upgrade you than if YOU decide to start upgrading yourself and sitting wherever you please.
A lot of (many?) big companies have a 30 hour week option for white collar employees. The 30 hour option comes with a proportional reduction in pay. Of course, most are still regular full time employees.
Horrible. I actually tried applying image compression to sounds over a decade ago (was still in school, did that for Jugend forscht). I used a Fourier transform to generate image sections of a specific window of samples and used that. In hindsight, perhaps just treating the waveform as image data may have been better. The idea behind what I did was to see whether a spectrogram can be compressed well, considering that there's lots of repetition and blank space usually.

In any case, JPEG murders pretty much everything in thag representation.

Reddit user who claimed to be on the flight. As I said, unconfirmed.
I think it would make more sense to try this out on something where the output of the labour is not directly tied to the hours put in. For example in a tax agency, or other welfare agency that we have plenty of in Sweden. Even though there might be interesting findings from lower sick days, happier employees and better quality of the output (happier patients etc), I think it's far more interesting to see this in fields where the output might stay constant even with fewer hours worked. Essentially raising the hourly wage.

Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like you fly much.

You can buy economy plus unless you got a super discounted flight. Frequent fliers get first access depending on their level.

Just use google.com/flights (lists leg room data), or just hit the "i" mark on each fare and you can usually see the actual leg room on the ticket.

Don't bother using aggregators to buy the ticket. They're useful at finding fares, but the same rates are usually available through the airline's site as well.
I don't see how this follows. I thought up a simple mental model of how it could be implemented and I don't see why companies would flock to the insurance companies with no differentiation between hours worked.

Let's simplify and suppose currently all employees are working 40 hours per week and the cost to provide health insurance to them is H.

If it's indeed the case that workers working 30 hours per week have better health outcomes (and thus, lower health costs and lower costs to the person insuring them) then the cost to insure a 30-hour-per-week employee is L, where L < H.

So the first insurance company to capitalize on this fact would set up a two tiered system where it provides health insurance to the 40-hours-per-week employees at H, and health insurance to the 30-hours-per-week employees at some P where L < P < H. They would make a short run profit if P > L. Finally, I don't see how it would induce any "flocking" away from the insurance company doing this by companies that continue to do the 40-hour-week thing. They keep getting the old rate, H, especially if we're only talking about the short-run, first mover scenario as you brought up.

BotW is probably the most critically acclaimed thing to come out of Nintendo in a while, but they've sold maybe 5m copies at this point, compared to over 100m over the lifetime of the Wii, hardly in the same ballpark. Zelda games also tend not to be huge sellers for Nintendo, despite their apparent popularity.

BotW has been a system seller up to this point, but only because the hardware's supplies are fairly limited at this point. I don't expect the DLC's release will be a significant factor in the Switch's continued sales, unless their other first party titles end up having disappointing sales.
In July, I am taking a vacation to Los Angeles. I haven't been to LA in 10 years or so and I'm unlikely to go back any time soon. One or two of the nights that I am there I would like to go out to a somewhat fancy dinner. But I haven't been to any of my options and I'm very unlikely to visit any of them more than once.

Because of my inability to try out all my choices I can see how it's hard for the market of nice restaurants in LA to function properly. Clearly the government should step in and decide what they should cook and how much they should charge for it.

There are lots of goods where people don't personally test all the available options where markets work just fine. People can rely on all sorts of recommendations to make informed choices. With the internet this is easier than ever. For everything from LA restaurants to airlines.
