Do you mean Scala? I got a good a chuckle imagining the late Justice Scalia here. :)
Why would I? Surely the point is that I'm an expert on everything already.
It was a sign saying that the train tracks along that street were no longer in service.

A sign of heroin use is "tracks" (needle puncture marks on ones arrm or body where they mainlined heroin injections)

So I sent him the pic of the sign as an acknowledgement that he succeeded in kicking the habit of heroin use...

A band we listened to growing up, Skinny Puppy, their lead singer Ogre, wasa heroin addict... he kicked the habit, and when my friend got married, Skinny Puppy played at their wedding.

Of course, Trump has an offshore wind array in his view from his hold course in Aberdeen. So he may have ulterior motives than bird preservation here.
There totally should be a modern windmill and solar farm emoji to complement the sun ️ and wind ones.
Yeah, the incentives are perverse. This is more of a symptom of the function of our legal apparatus than the law itself, because in theory, going through the legal process should be quick and if not affordable, at least reasonably doable for the individual or small business.

Companies that run formal bug bounty programs (either directly or through a third party like HackerOne) show some recognition of this and some goodwill, especially those that include payouts of five figures or more, but those companies have to be careful that they don't accidentally create an environment where bidding wars between exploiters and companies are legitimized.

Ask HN: Anyone else experiencing issues with Facebook Ads?
Since their latest update to their tracking pixel on May 20th [1], the pixel is acting very erratically and failing to track conversions most of the time, rendering the results reported in the Ads Manager wildly inaccurate to the point of being unusable for us. Anyone else seeing this? We've reported it through the usual means but no one at Facebook is responding.

For the blitter, this re-imagining is doing everything in software anyway. We can add a couple instructions for that.

I was thinking about Xeon Phi (which is the child of Larrabee), but with cores able to perform better than x86's as GPU cores. There seems to be a great deal of ground between CPUs and GPUs and a lot of spots one can be to function reasonably as both.
+1. Usually the real answers are hidden behind the "whys", hence why a Five Whys exercise can sometimes be really effective.
Is 640KiB not the whole index? Because partial download would mean having to request new pieces based on the previously-downloaded ones, adding latency to the mix. Assuming just 50ms latency, for 20 packets that would account for a whole second before seeing a result. And 20 decisions seems a lot, though I don't know how the index works.

What bothers me is that you've rounded the time down in your calculation despite ignoring throughput factors like packet overhead, piece message metadata, other protocol messages and processing time. I'd be interested to see some real time measurements. If you decide to do it (maybe for a research paper?), consider using kibis explicitly (and mind capitalization - b vs B).
Automating your web browser with node graphs and macros
Reminds of the time a friend wanted my opinion on a quote he received that it would take a week to open a socket in Unix using C code
Genius is not a spectrum, but neither is "seven feet tall". If you're looking for something to compare to height, look at IQ.
Thanks. That's the case now, but it doesn't have to be.

I could add Google, Facebook, my own accounts (username/password), or other ways for people to authenticate with.

I chose not to do that, and stick with GitHub auth only for now, because it covers my current needs. My target audience mostly has an account on GitHub. Also, when a website has many ways to login, it's hard to remember which you've used previously.
Is it just me or do the scroll bars disappear on that site? In both Chrome and Firefox latest versions, I cannot scroll down.

I go to the gym, if time allows. If time also allows, I like taking a salt bath. It's really calming. I usually catch up on my Feedly during then. I also like taking long bike rides, but travelling every week has made that impossible.
You're silly. In all seriousness, however, I did lose all my books to a fire so I can truly appreciate yet another advantage of e-reading: the digital books themselves are implicitly indestructible.
As I noted on another thread, the choice to call their initial release "Jessie" is also bizarre -- that's the same as the release name for Debian 8.0, which was released in 2015. Between that and the project name (which is a typo of "Debian"), it all makes the project look like it's intentionally trying to create confusion between itself and Debian, rather than trying to succeed on its own merits.
Water is great for cooling, but who the hell dumps it afterwards?! I don't think they quite understood what "water cooling" is..
With you on the new socks. For me, nothing is better than a brand new pair of merino wool socks. Merino is so light, strong and breathable you can wear them two days running. Not cheap, but worth it for sheer comfort.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive incapacity, on the part of those with low ability, to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their competence accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: high-ability individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others."

They may not lack intelligence but they are not fun. They are boring. They keep to themselves. They are very "sheepish". They are not emotional, except horny rams. They don't socialize with humans. They are scared of everything. They are herdish and their herd makes dumb decisions. Very few of them are outliers in behavior/intelligence. I grew up with sheep. I 'm sorry sheep, you are dumb.
Replying to my own comment. Ok lets face it, we all waste our time, and that is essentially what this thread is about. Most pastimes can be made to sound silly, and just because I don't share your interests doesn't mean they're less valid than my own. I code apps nobody will ever use, write books that will never be published, and I have watched 11 and a half seasons of supernatural. And I'm sitting here commenting on the internet instead of doing even any of those things.

Ok. I'm going for a walk
Actually, I typically replace my hoard of socks annually.

Copyright generally doesn't stop people from copying what they want to copy. Do only BigCo's have a use for patents?
That's a complicated question. If you're just looking to improve your monthly bottom line, rentals is probably not your best bet. I purchased distressed property in a growth market, buying up places I knew I could go into on weekends and fix up myself. After fixing them up and renting them out, I'd average between $200-$300 a month in profit (per property, after accounting for mortgage, taxes, and property maintenance.)

If you work in IT (like I do), that's not exactly life-changing money, and as a function of time-in vs profit out, you'd probably be better off just doing some contract on the side.. at least, in the short term. In the long term, after holding on to a bunch of properties for 13 years, having other people pay my mortgages plus market appreciation, I've generated a ton of equity. Now that I'm cashing out, if you consider my time and my initial investment, I'm doing a great deal better than market.

Had I have had the stomach to stay in and pay off those mortgages, I'd probably be doing even better. The price of my sanity, I guess.
I'm actually not sure, off the top of my head, but I think it's from his book "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals"; he also used it in lectures IIRC.
This practice has nothing to do with Java, at all. It is not an approach that was invented by Java, for Java, and it is not in any way unique to Java.

Most web technologies support rendering a view based on a set of values residing in a database, and use the values to populate a template. The template contains placeholders reserved for values expected to originate from a database.

The version of the page that appears in your web browser usually does not exist as a serialized HTML page on a disk connected to a server. It often only exists as a representation of two pieces of information bound to a session in memory on a server: 1. The Template or server-side script, 2. the values you are authorized to retrieve from the database, which may or may not be a SQL database.

What you see in the address bar does not need to correlate to the HTML rendered in the browser window. JavaScript (which is not Java) often employs this technique, termed as a "single page web application."

This is true for PHP, Mcrosoft, Ruby, Python, Perl, server-side JavaScript (such as node.js) and yes Java too.
Last year I watched a documentary on Nina's life. It was vividly memorable for the music alone, but so was the heartbreaking story.

What Happened, Miss Simone? (2015)

"On stage Nina Simone was known for her utterly free, uninhibited musical expression, which enthralled audiences and attracted life-long fans. But amid the violent, haunting, and senseless day-to-day of the civil rights era in 1960s America, Simone struggled to reconcile her artistic identity and ambition with her devotion to a movement. Culled from hours of autobiographical tapes, this new film unveils the unmitigated ego of a brilliant artist and the absurdities of her time. At the height of her fame Simone walked away from her family, country, career and fans, to move to Liberia and give up performing. The story of her life leading up to that event poses the question, 'how does royalty stomp around in the mud and still walk with grace?'"

So what's the "right" answer? The high IQ crowd yucks it up, while the proles live in caves somewhere?
that's not the topic though.
Aren't they actually mostly concrete? At least here in Germany they are.
This is just a personal anecdote, but so far systemd is the only init system ever to fail to reboot by first stopping all services it could (including sshd!) and then get infinitely stuck waiting on one problematic service. In the 12 years I've used Linux and OpenBSD, no other init systme ever did something like that.

What a nightmare that was to debug and fix.

I'll be happy to go with a system with fewer moving parts, even if that means reboots take a minute longer.
I am not an expert and I don't have the numbers, but not all "gifted" are talented in mathematics. Also the study of the field of mathematics is a task of endurance and slow but steady work, this is something the highest tier gifted (profoundly gifted) tend to suck at even with proper disipline training, but the profoundly gifted is so few in number that they don't really have an effect on the percentage.

Gifted often have one or more of the five overexcitabilities, one of those are Intellectual overexcitability, one can guess that a notable part of gifted who participate got Intellectual overexcitability, then you can make a guess that ca 20% of gifted got Intellectual overexcitability, that 50% fail to get that far in school because of the problems gifted face, then 30% from those gifted living in shitty enviroments that stops them from learning about the joy of mathematics and then 50% of those in turn actually puts in the time to learn mathematics, then 25% is actually good enough to enter so maybe: 0,375%

The education system really sucks for gifted kids, especially highly giften, exceptionally gifted and profoundly gifted, the mildly gifted and moderately gifted can be helped alot by the imperfect solution of being moved up a few classes.
Hey, I am looking for a way of packing multiple TCP streams over a single TCP connection to a backend server. I can unpack them in application logic if necessary. Do you know what that is called? Kinda like SCTP

In my experience being nice to customer reps costs you hours vs. being a polite but a bit short and very direct with them.

If it takes too long (this usually happens around the 60th minute) I tend to escalate to asking to terminate my contract right then and there.

Sometimes I do, but most often it suddenly is possible to fix the problem or to make some reasonable accomodation.

In my experience, Lustre on a typical medium-size (several hundred node) cluster has been more reliable than NFS (at least once the cluster vendor was out of the way), and you can actually use it for MPI-IO, which is crucial. It's been quite straightforward to operate, at least with a simple LNET setup. I don't understand this stuff about racehorses. NFS has been easily flattened in various circumstances, too.

That said, I'd have chosen PVFS^WOrangeFS at my previous site if I'd had the choice, but I've not been able to make or find a useful performance comparison.
I notice a couple times a day. Any large mode will usually cause noticeable jankiness. My usual suspects are js2-mode, email modes like gnus, and evaluating org-src blocks.

There's hacks for some of these, but having threads natively will be really nice.
Oil fields used to employ people only during the drilling phase. Once in production, they're mostly unattended. The classic oil field is a spread-out collection of pumpjacks running endlessly with nobody around.

Fracking operations, though, are complicated. There's usually a sizable site from which directional drilling spreads out underground. There's water, sand, and hydrochloric acid going down the holes, and mixed oil, gas, and sludge coming up. Lots of trucking activity.[1]

They call Jessie a "Matching release", I guess the intention is to stress the fact that you can safely migrate from Debian without a reinstall.
Thanks for sharing the links to his github, that's very thoughtful.

Now I feel selfish for having the same thoughts as you about the grid and just quitting the game instead of telling OP.
My experience with sysvinit is that it definitely takes well over ten seconds to boot Linux and start all services, especially if you've been putting "sleep 60" into certain scripts to make boot ordering reliable.

Again, I'm comparing systemd to pre-systemd Linux distros (including Devuan, which explicitly continues that tradition), not to systems broadly comparable to systemd. If Devuan had a different fancy init system or service manager (which could just be bundling runit configuration for everything the OS ships with) instead of an old-school init system + old-school init scripts, this would be a very different comparison.
It would be of value to overlay actual global temperatures over the graphs given in this document such as these..

The great thing about battletested, JIT VMs like CLR/JVM/HiPE is that the user code can be compiled once and the providers can keep optimizing them in future versions and also with uptime. As long as memory usage, GC behavior and performance vs. optimized C is close, it's usually a win.
Even if the courts allowed this to be a valid defense, it could only protect you from willful infringement. Not having knowledge of an existing patent does not stop the other party from claiming damages. If they can prove you knew that your work infringes the patent, they can sue you for treble damages from willful infringement.

True. Needn't be much though: to put it into a 2 m/s climb (400 ft/min), you'd just need to hold 1.1 G over two seconds.
Socat is excellent too. Not as high performance as iptables but the command is very simple to use. More of a direct replacement for the program above.
Waste disposal is an issue for millions of years to come.
FWIW, you're often better off not searching, or looking at, patents.
If you end up in a patent case, your liabilities will be much higher if they can sufficiently claim you knowingly infringed. Evidence that you searched for patents can weigh against you / your employer. Even if you weren't associated with the infringing product itself.
While the last part of apologizing for the "incompetent" employee is definitely too much, the supervisor escalation is a pretty good move actually. I worked in customer support too and often times, people just want to let off some steam. We learned to not take it too personal, play each others' supervisor (with the permission of the actual supervisor, who didn't take calls) and went on to even do this strategy proactively ("well, that sounds pretty bad indeed. let me connect you to our supervisor").

Worked like a charm.
That's quite a few people flapping wings :)
This can quickly change, when one terrorist attack happens on a single nuclear plant.

I call them input metrics and output metrics - you can't usually directly improve output metrics like 'daily active users' - but they are necessary validation of operational performance (just don't look at them every day)

input metrics are things that you can impact directly (like site speed - which, if improved, will likely indirectly improve the outputs)

from Jeff Bezos 2009 shareholder statement:

360 of the 452 goals will have a direct impact on customer experience.

The word revenue is used eight times and free cash flow is used only four times.

In the 452 goals, the terms net income, gross profit or margin, and operating profit are not used once.

If you laid Tolkien's world on ours, Orcs would mine coal with dynamite, Men would use nat-gas and oil, and Elves would use wind and solar. Nuclear? Dwarves all the way. "Clean, safe, and low cost" until you delve too deep and awaken nameless evil!

Getting into DevOps (part I)
I'm part of the emacs community, and not part of the Guile community (though I am a fan of Scheme, just not Guile in particular, Chicken Scheme is more my speed) and I think a Guile-based emacs would be a huge step forward, and can't wait for it to Guile to be fully integrated and all the outstanding issues to be ironed out.

I really can't understand the objections from some people in Emacs land, except for those that would prefer a Common Lisp-based Emacs, but that's not what we've got. We've got Guile, and while that might not be as great as Common Lisp (in their eyes, not mine, for me Scheme is preferable), it's still a lot better than elisp. Rejecting Guile and sticking with elisp just makes no sense to me at all.

Keep in mind that having emacs be based on Guile does not mean that all the elisp emacs packages have to be jettisoned. They will still run as elisp under Guile, and you can continue writing scripts in elisp and have them continue to run under a Guile-based emacs.
A legitimate business opportunity affects 1 part of the 4-factor fair use test. There are plenty of other cases where things were found to be fair use despite a market existing. I've met a lot of people who have the same gut feeling that you do, but the legal history is much more complicated than that.
Yes, I don't get it either. The article implies that they reuse it for a while, and then dump. But I can imagine how filter and ion-exchange systems need water for back-flushing and other maintenance. So maybe there's some hard-to-avoid loss.
