You only get 140, not the 360 if you actually bother to turn your head. If i remember correctly, i think you need a 150 field test to enlist in the military. 140 isnt enough, especially when the camera is at the bumper rather that at the driver position 10 feet back. You dont see the pedestrian approaching from the side or, in the case of this parking lot, the huge "dont back in" sign hung over the spots near ventilation equipment. Few of these parking cameras can look up. The resolution and size of a screen also means you dont percieve movement in your peripheral field as you would viewing a situation directly.
I think you may have missed the sense of humor. For instance the thing about jars is absolutely a joke. I thought it came across very much as someone very reasonably discussing tradeoffs and cracking some pretty good jokes along the way.

As an aside, you have to be kind of careful when saying things appear to be advertisements - if it doesn't seem to be true (as in this case it doesn't), then you come away looking like the one with an agenda.
Whatever it is, it isn't enough.
@rwmj can you please point to the list of white-listed QEMU-KVM devices used in RHEL?
I don't think there are any German undergraduate programs that are entirely in English - you will most like need to learn German to CEF level C1 to pass the German university entrance exam (Feststellungsprüfung).

This is a useful website to determine whether your high school qualifications are enough to attend a German university:

Yes, more reasons to avoid seafood coming out of Asia. As I mentioned above, polluted feed from Europe is already adding to the problem.
I'm just posting this here for posterity. It's disappointing to not see ANYTHING about Segwit or Lighting on a board that proclaims itself to be "hacker" news during these exciting times. ;)
Only if it happens more often than people fail to properly execute the over-the-shoulder look. I doubt that.
My logic is:

Without a hardened kernel, LSM can be trivially bypassed and seccomp seems to whitelist everything under the sun. This only leaves us with QEMU code quality to rely on. Since Grsec is not longer available this becomes even more urgent.

Xen relies on stubdoms to isolate QEMU from their TCB which leaves them with bugs in the hypervisor itself as the only avenue of attack. The number of Xen-only bugs vs Linux is way fewer. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@bonzini I use virtio-9p for shared folders all the time why did you dismiss that as a non-issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13755021

If you are a KVM dev please look seriously into using an advanced, intelligent fuzzer like the DARPA Grand Challenge winner Shellphish. It can find security bugs and propose patches for them:

Security aside I find Libvirt more wanting in UX. The single biggest roadblock is the lack of a virtual appliance implementation that new comers can point and import to from Virt-Manager. I hope this gets resolved down the line.
> Why in these stories is the patient always a researcher or married to a researcher in the field?

Because, usually, listening to a patient's great ideas is a waste of time. This of course is not the case, when the patient has provable knowledge that the doctors have to admit might surpass their own knowledge.

> [treatments] be totally experimental but facing the end most would take experimental over nothing.

Sure, except for that the relatives might sue a doctor after a patient's death. In court you have a much stronger position when the patient obviously had the knowledge to really understand the risks of some treatment.

Last but not least: Experimental therapies are much, much more expensive than standardized ones. You basically have to check all parameters permanently while with standardized therapies you just follow a protocol that dictates what to look out for.

You could also solve it (more reliably) by using aspherical mirrors, but those are illegal in the US.
That sounds a lot like my current state of mind. Only that I'm not on the autistic spectrum. Just did the wrong thing in trying to tough out a major depression on my own which tuned me to feeling vaguely neutral all the time, plus I somehow lost the ability to be empathic almost completely.
I do remember how it's supposed to look though, so hardly anyone notices.

If you're feeling like you're blowing fuses, stop what you're doing and get help before you adapt in the worst possible way.
i wanted to do the same thing. but i have not been consequent enough.
Impressive.

Several years ago I designed an industrial machine that is used untangle and sort nails, screws, etc for feeding robots in automatic product lines. Main elements were vibration beds (using eccentric), slopes with geometry to sort out and pneumatic cylinders - to untangle items in high speed.
This has always bugged me too. I don't understand why people make such a big deal about pass-by-value and pass-by-reference when the latter is essentially a small layer of syntactic sugar over the former. Anything you can do with reference variables can be done with pointers, with a few more characters (and arguably easier to read, if you're not used to reference variables), so from a semantic point of view it doesn't add anything new.

PBV and PBR seems to be a tiny distinction and yet, we have blog posts and interview questions and online debates about whether a language falls into the first or second category.
However, Go has pointers (just not pointer arithmetic):

https://tour.golang.org/moretypes/1

Does anyone know of an imperative language doesn't have references, but also doesn't have pointers? Perhaps using something like copy-on-write to pass variables to functions.

You do not really understand what "experimental treatment" means without doing medical research. In general, it means it is extremely more likely to acutely hurt more than it helps you. I mean like million to one odds.
Yes; they figure "internet is slow" and assume that it won't be any better if they go to a different site.

There definitely are. I studied entirely in English at TU Darmstadt for example (that was in 2004). They also offered free German classes in a preparatory program back then.

Yeah, no.
The author is probably concerned about the overhead of using N system calls to read N MSRs.

It would be cool if eBPF could read MSRs; then this kind of monitoring could be done though perf tracing.
Now you're just coming off as mad at intensifiers in general. Sure, you can write without them. Doesn't stop them from being useful.
Part I

> After completing a rereading, I am interested to see the show.

Isn't it possible the show is different from the book? With updates that resemble the last 5 years? How can this author purport to not find resemeblances when they haven't even watched the show, only re-read the book. I thank her for the comparison with the book, but I don't think it's what all those people calling Handmaid's Tale are referring to.

Not that I don't wish the writer was correct- it's just that it's highly likely people are comparing the show with today's society and not the book.

Having read the book, some of the most vivid scenes to me were the hermetic, sterile sex and hyperpatriarchy. Perhaps those are the elements modern people are comparing to modern day? Again, even though I dislike Atwood's material (I agree with McArdle here, it's a way too concentrated and cherry-picked collage of dystopian elements) and don't believe the patriarchy is as deeply embedded as my facebook friends, I can absolutely see why people would say elements from the story relate to today.

McArdle however seems to be comparing the totality of the story to today and saying, "no, not 100% of it is true."

Part II (all sources from Wikipedia)

On the historical elements, McArdle writes:
> a careful student of history would note that a decade after the Reichstag fire, most of German society still looked pretty much like it had in 1925.

So is she saying Germany of 1943 resembled Germany of 1925? She writes:
> they didn’t gut-renovate the economy, wipe out all religions that competed with the state, and completely reorganize society in the space of a few years;

27 February 1933: Reichstag Fire
9–10 November 1938: Kristallnacht
May 1940 Auschwitz I was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940
From early 1942 until late 1944, transport trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over German-occupied Europe

I find it hard to swallow that Germany of 1925 resembles Germany of 1943, when the persecution of Jews, blacks, homosexuals and gypsies was in full swing. Yes and there was a World War going on. Yes, not all religions were wiped out, but how could Germany of 1943 possibly resemble 1925? Is she focusing on the idea that the "culture" was similar and people still got married and had kids? Amdist the war, the Final Solution and even a major eugenics program including sterilization and euthansia, life was normal?

I find McArdle playing a contrarian, even hipster role here, denying resemblances between the story and modern reality. Not that I am pushing hard for the resemblances, but with my superficial research and recall of history and the story, I'm finding major problems with this review.
The Hulu series is well written. The colors are amazing.

I think it's perfectly valid to see some parallels in current society with the dystopian society in The Handmaid's Tale. The US has a vice president who doesn't allow himself to have dinner with a woman he's not married to. The President and his team make statements to the media every day that would have been hard to predict in the most outlandish dystopian novels.

It's just a TV show.

You were asked to explain what you're implying. No straw man or red herring were created. No argument was offered. It's pretty clear the parent is trying to understand why you're throwing shade at the OP and sowing doubt about their motivations for sharing a link as a means of discrediting the article shared here.
Most communities are trash at accepting people who know, use, and don't mind multiple languages. I singled out Haskell because its community is exceptionally bad, not because all the other communities are good.

Keeping State and Networking in Kubernetes
How do you automate arbitrary programming assignments without cheating by having someone else do them? There were piles of little problems I had to do in programming. It being mundane was obvious when contrasted to better options like having people build a neat app or game piece-by-piece as they go through lessons. Land of LISP comes to mind. Also has amusing artwork.

To do that better, what you do is route the password cracking attempts to some honeypot box. By this I mean that you set up common accounts with easily guessed passwords. But all of these lead to some dedicated machine where you're in a pseudo-shell that won't let you do a damned thing.

>For PR reasons, they didn't want to have "pointers" (arithmetic, etc. ew). So Java has "references"

Well, it's just a rename for PR reasons. They actually don't have pointers.

>But what happens when you call a method on a null reference? Not NullReferenceException, but NullPointerException.

That's because it's the underlying pointer access that causes the exception. Doesn't mean the reference is itself a pointer -- it just abstracts over one.

They also insists Java is pass-by-value whereas technically it's pass-by-value for primitive unboxed types and call-by-sharing for others. The reason of which escapes me.

You raise good points to debate on and really appreciate the non politicized discussion. I cant speak for you but it seems that we might end up agreeing that the beef eating question has nuances and not a open and shut case.

Regarding the Puranas, Mahabharata, and Ramayana being guides, I have reasons to be cynical. People are guided by what people tell them what they are supposed to do and feel as a Hindu. Often by people who have axes to grind.

I am curious to know about your opinion on beef eating practices of Kerala Hindus including Brahmins (or Pandits if you like although that would be a rather unusual phrase to use in this context). Some start hyperventilating that its all Muslim influence, or the influence of European colonizers.

I find asking this question to be just slightly misunderstood. I am currently in my 35th year as a developer, and the learning and improving is easy with one simple ingredient: interest. Pursue what interests you, do the research, write your own versions of the latest research, and when stuck contact the authors you're following. You'd be surprised at who responds, and coming from a perspective of interest the response may be more than expected.

I've been doing C/C++ for my entire career, but have also done full web stacks, embedded systems, VFX for feature films, 15 years as a game developer, OS engineer on first PlayStation team, and reaching way back 80's 3D graphics research and Macintosh beta tester and launch developer. All from simply having enthusiasm and a combination of the stupidity to try it myself and then contacting the leaders and asking them what they did about some nit picky point. Next thing, I'm working there.

That type of easy access is only at new technologies. When I was contacting people the digital entertainment industry was yet a dream. EA was maybe 1 year old. I guess my advice is to find something that you find exciting, but is not yet a reality. There are giant industries to be created around software controlled aircraft, everything from IronMan to skytrains, fer christsake. What interests you? Augmented Reality is going to be saturated, but that area is wide open. Hell, everything is interesting. Just be sure to focus. There is success in consistency.
Kubernetes is king in container survey
On the other hand, the train runs on a schedule which can give you a pretty accurate idea of when you should leave and when you will arrive at your destination. The car might be faster sometimes, but sometimes it is slower and you can't always predict which it's going to be.
Right. The company would take the place of paypal and users would be aware that their transactions are being executed via an instantaneous bitcoin purchase and sale.
I started using haskell before stack but after cabal sandboxes. Once I learned to use sandboxes cabal gave no problem.

I don't understand why it keeps receiving so much heat. What does stack do that cabal can't?
LWN is a fine resource for original articles about Linux technology, and I am happy to recommend it on that basis.

But as a news provider, it is seriously lacking compared to the alternatives, which have at least half a dozen stories per day and cover a broad range of new developments. If you care to look, it should be obvious just how much LWN misses out.

> LWN doesn't require a subscription to read the vast majority of its content. Period.

This is misleading, though. Perhaps it is true if we count each post on LWN as a piece of content. But a lot of posts on LWN are just noise and not really what most people would consider to be content.

For example, there are daily "Security updates for today" posts consisting of just links, as well as frequent one-sentence announcements about new kernel prepatch releases and stable updates. One wonders whether they are automatically generated.

Such posts provide little value to a general reader compared to a dedicated mailing list digest. They don't even attempt to summarize what changed, or describe the context or impact of the changes.

If you exclude such items then a significant amount of LWN content will require a subscription, maybe more than half, especially stories that go beyond one sentence/paragraph in length.
From the abstract:
"The new time complexity is asymptotically worse than Shor’s algorithm, but the qubit requirements are asymptotically better, so it may be possible to physically implement it sooner."

This is a nice result that shows how to speed up the best-known classical factorization algorithm using a quantum algorithm for one of the steps. Importantly, it does it using asymptotically fewer qubits than Shor's algorithm requires. However, the overall algorithm in the paper is still subexponential, not polynomial like Shor.

So in this case where a friend's deposit is being held for ransom, could that friend simply chargeback or file a fraud claim against PayPal? After all, PayPal has stolen their money which was intended for another person (the author in this case).
Free or paying? Anyway, I think that is the size where you have to explore social media. Typically Twitter is easier, Facebook will work is your biz intrinsically spreads across friends, or you can explore others such as Instagram and Pinterest if you'd like.

It's also probably a good time to start experimenting with ads, though don't be fooled by the results and stay focused on product-market fit (I assume you're following the startup school classes).

For us, Theneeds, the 100-1000 was totally through Twitter. It was also the time where we started exploring apps outside purely web, first Pokki and later Chrome (but Chrome was 1k-10k).

Thanks for sharing such a cool build and helping keep alive a hope of mine. I dream of a day I have enough time/capital to build/buy a Lego sorter, a robotic Lego brick separator (perhaps using high-resolution ultrasound/radar to detect where to insert the separator and where to push), pair that with an automated storage system in a subterranean vertical tunnel with robot arms similar to a robotic tape library keeping track of all detected parts and minifigs according to BrickLink categorization. Let the system keep it all organized (for example, bin overflows into multiple bins are automatically tracked as a single part and color combination), and I even have the choice to have it dump a random assortment into a big laundry-size bin, and build like a kid again, yet have it clean up after itself once I'm done.

>I understand that, but we already have a word for that -- figuratively.

In Vulcan it's usually frowned upon, but human languages often use nuance, play, context, and (gasp) more than one word for the same notion.

Moreover, the value of a word is not in its definition, but in its use. Even if "literally" (in this usage scenario) means the same as "figuratively" they both have very different connotations and impact on the listener.
I've seen my current product go from 0 users to thousands. It is a business workflow tool where most users log several hours per day, so I understand that it's very unusual compared to other services.

The big thing for us was just a strong sales and marketing presence backed by a product team (my team) that listens for the user and the marketplace and responds quickly. It takes a little time but snowballed by just sticking to that formula. Sales is in the DNA of my work, and so they are very effective at all aspects of it.

Sounds like weak advice, but it worked for us.
