I know several people who worked for the last census. The issue you run in to is that people don't only live at addresses. For instance, they attempt to count all homeless people. They attempt to count everyone in prison. They try to count every single person in the United States.

This is not as easy as you make it sound. For instance, how would you make sure you counted every transient effectively?

The way the census solves that problem is to go out and count all of them in a single night.

That's a level of accuracy mot people couldn't even begin to plan for. If you tasked FedEx with that problem, they'd probably find all the easy people and then hand off the rest to the USPS like they do for excessively rural customers.

Mongo seems to lock on various granularities. Sounds like collection ("table") is common and with WiredTiger engine (default iirc) it goes to document locking ("row").

One of the factors holding me back from buying an Apple Watch is the need to charge overnight. I wear a Fitbit overnight for sleep quality and duration tracking - imperfect as it is. An iPhone- or iWatch-integrated solution would push me over the edge.
It seems to be that the criteria for HN posts is not "personally relevant/interesting to smbdy or affecting smbdy".

The criteria is IT related or scientifically interesting.
> I bet even the almighty US cannot certify that most of their tech is built at home.

It's not as hard as you think, the contracts and governing laws are big and complicated governing who can do what and know what which is part of why things are so expensive.

The primary business of being a defense contractor isn't building things, it's interacting with the government and farming out work to other companies. A whole lot of that is just compliance.
You have the right idea but wrong version number.. 1.1.13701, not 10701.
The ST3 dev builds are VERY good. I love Atom but the speed keeps bringing me back to ST.

Hehe, well Snapchat is kind of private in theory...at least people use it because they think it's private!
At least 5x in the past 1.5 months, actually - from ~$.00025 to ~$.00145 (now $.00125). I watched it climb in disbelief. Most of the top 20 or 30 alt-coins saw at least 2x market cap increases in the past 2 months, some had 10x or greater increases.
"Gaslighting" is certainly going both ways, but it's important to me that one side is horrifyingly eager for war with Russia and the other... isn't. I don't care what "the truth" is; I just don't want the current generation of humans to be the last. And for what? Politics? Truly, it's the mind-killer.
If the licensing were done at the component level, than any software could be used with a BR Drive... no patent royalties on top of the existing implementations in hardware... though, who knows.

It's the Patent IP that is the problem... you don't license non-patent IP.
Completely agree. I can't use even the best editor if it doesn't provide basic navigation, and debugging functions. 20 years ago, people claimed that IDEs were bad, but now the situation have changed. PyCharm has almost everything that Sublime has, and even more, there's vim mode, which moved editing to a new level.
You might find Idris's totality checking very interesting, if you haven't already seen it!

> git branch, git tag, and git for-each-ref all learned the --no-contains option to match their existing --contains option. This can let you ask which tags or branches don't have a particular bug (or bugfix).

I'm surprised that didn't exist already. Several years ago, I worked on a tool to scan SVN merge history and save in a graph database so one could ask this type of question, "Does this branch contain the fix?". Or the opposite, "Which branches do not contain this fix?".

It was a mess because there were 8 million commits in the repo and clients ranged from SVN 1.4 to SVN 1.8 (the server was upgraded too).

It would have made more sense to use git for something like that but it's hard to get thousands of devs to switch.
PyCharm is the BEST IDE. Cant imagine working without it. It has become a part of how I think about code. The type hints and instant error check it provides for python are unmatched.
Imagine building software to handle all the HR needs, IT needs, accounting needs, CRM needs, etc, for a 600,000 person company. Assume that this is also going to be the mother of legacy-tech-debt projects, too. Then, add on the feature of ingesting and actually processing and storing the raw census data, too. Then imagine that it's not a company, but a government agency doing that.

Neither story is a good fit for HN. HN is for the gratification of intellectual curiosity, not the other more intense forms of curiosity (or gratification). Like most political stories, these fall out of HN's scope.

> so trivially hackable

That's a misunderstanding of how HN's system works. Hot political stories typically get tons of upvotes. That happens first. Then they get flagged and/or moderators penalize them. That's routine, and it's what happened to both of these submissions—the only difference was the several hours' gap between them.
Not true. Plently of submissions about books and arts.
Maybe. I actually live in Portland, Oregon and I rarely see anyone smoking. I honestly can't remember the last time I smelled second-hand smoke in Portland and the suburbs.
It wasn't punching a guy in the break room. If he was working on the web server or something like that but turned up email and financial records, there was digging involved.
Do you enjoy paying for people in prison? I feel like we can take what we currently spend on prisons and more effectively apply it to both fronts which would hopefully help more people.

It kills me too, but I've given as much as I could without failing to make rent as a grad student. Seeing how the combined market cap for all cryptocurrency has more than doubled in a month, I think we're due for a correction.

At this point, I speculate that any correction would start with a trigger on the major coins, like frustration over the Bitcoin fees and transaction delays, a bug in the segwit implementation for Litecoin or a false flagged segwit activation from a malicious miner, or some major exchange (like Coinbase) loses user coins. Even just Bitcoin not receiving the ETF would cause investors to second-guess themselves.

Most mesh networks have fixed routers that can be plugged into electrical outlets or solar panels. But mobile devices have only battery power, and if your device is constantly transmitting and receiving other people's data, its battery life is going to suffer.
Too bad most of them are probably immigrants with no voting rights.
Yes, it mentions bufferbloat once, but IMO the subject requires far more than that. I would suggest at least introducing the concept of active queue management, maybe set some of the developments in that closely related field - e.g. RED, SFB, CoDel - on the same timeline with Reno, Vegas, and BIC. Otherwise it's like trying to teach someone driving without mentioning stop signs and traffic lights.

That sounds like it covers just about everything you would reasonably expect to be part of the preparations for the census. Which raises the question, what's the other $2 billion of the bureau's budget over the next two years being spent on?
For those interested I recommend the movie K2: Siren of the Himalayas (2014). It is a very nice documentary, giving the history of the mountain and up close look at an attempt to summit it. Really amazing stuff.

From the description (via Rotten Tomatoes):

"This breathtaking film follows an historic attempt to summit the world's most challenging peak on the 100-year anniversary of the Duke of Abruzzi's landmark K2 expedition in 1909. World-class alpinists Fabrizio Zangrilli and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner team up with veteran climbers Jake Meyer and Chris Szymiec in a dangerous foray of high altitude mountaineering. The documentary also examines the history and geography of the Karakoram mountains while contemplating the risks, rewards and personal nature of exploration in an age when there are few blank spots left on the map. The second highest peak on Earth at 8,611 meters, K2 is also one of the most dangerous mountains to climb: for every four people who have reached the summit of K2, one person has died trying.

doesn't really matter. SEP/FRAND doesn't mean cheap, as Apple seems to believe. Apple can't demand Samsung to pay the moon only because their patents aren't SEP either. While there are no firm rules, most courts look at value the patented features creates (market driver) as the basis of reasonable rates.
That's begging the question.

Unless you state what you think are desireable outcomes, your statement means nothing

Tautologically speaking, your statement just says "Do the things that we think are profitable."
Harder to refactor though.
Come on dude. "Stop spreading nonsense" reads pretty tame to me. Certainly nothing worth subjecting us to a scripture quotation.
It's amazing to me how many people on HN don't really get why Bitcoin is valuable.

The simplest way of putting it: if one doesn't believe gold is going to imminently plunge in value, then there you go. That's why Bitcoin is valuable. It's digital gold. The analogy isn't perfect, but as far as analogies go, it is a very good one.

INTERCAL on Interstates: joke programming language implemented to make web apps
So "you people" who drove the Obama birth certificate narrative for ten years (not only with no evidence for, but concrete evidence against) are criticising a different set of "you people" for driving a narrative?

And a narrative with a lot of clear evidence of Russians in the same place at the same time as Trump team members, and probably a lot of evidence that the FBI, CIA and NSA have but can't release... hardly ZERO (in caps!) evidence. I'm from New Zealand so I don't have a dog in this fight, but it stinks to high heaven.

But both sets of "you people" should read this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe
I'm no lawyer, but I doubt poverty has ever been an excuse for crime. Some wealthy people commit crimes, and crime exists in communist countries (where everyone gets "free housing and food").

You guys make it sound like criminals are victims, like we should feel sorry for them or something. Sometimes what I read on HN scares me and makes me sick.
You know that there's tons of for-profit prisons right? I've always been a proponent of hard labor camps, short sentences, and judicial forgiveness. Put them in for a few months, work the living hell out of them, get 'em out and back in a regular job in a regular place as far away from criminal influences, and see if crime doesn't plummet.

Current prisons reinforce risk taking behaviors and can worsen behavioral disorders that can lead to crime in the outside, and violence in the inside.
Why would anyone expect a unicorn focusing on growth to make a profit?

Once investments dry up you'll see Uber start to focus on profitability and reducing waste, until then they're 100% focused on expansion and disruption, which is pretty expensive and doesn't really make revenue.
as urban areas always need more human outreach than the burbs

I would disagree as others have pointed out. It's the rural folks who couldn't care less that need to be tracked down. A single person could easily canvass an entire neighborhood in a large city.

And I think the comment about dropping the big news at a convenient time is something every politician does. How many times have you seen announcements by the gov't go out on a Friday afternoon? Avoid media attention!!
For what it's worth, the Apple Watch charges surprisingly quickly. I often forget to put it on the charger when I go to bed, so I just throw it on when I wake up in the morning – it'll easily get through the day on the juice it picks up while I'm in the shower.
Oh trust me, given the current track of records, the Administration can grt confirmation easily. Hearing is just for show for the Adminstration.
It should be noted that the Director of the FBI serves a 10 year term, specifically to avoid the "serving at the pleasure of the President" item.
Now you're back to harping on operational costs. It doesn't take a $900 million application to assign people areas of a city to canvas.

Determination, patience, and wealth are what create destinations, even if you don't have California's climate.

Local home builders and government permit issuers have formed a racket mafia around it.

You can only build in/live in homes that are "up to code", which they've written to be compatible with only the types of homes that they build.

In the name of public safety or whatever.

RVs, mobile homes, etc are all illegal to live in in many counties and towns. Local ordinances enforced by crooked small town cops and officials.

If it didn't exist, there would be no real reason to live in an apartment or house. Most people's needs are wayyyyy below that cultural standard.

Thanks for correcting me - that link is fantastic.

I feel the same way. I wanted to support the Atom project, but Sublime is super stable and has a ton of useful plugins.
What's more likely is that the founders and investors would take the payout, and the workers would get nothing.

And I extremely doubt the ability of a startup to do any kind of worthwhile count of people outside of major metropolitan areas.
Me? Compared to prisons I'd bet it would be a bargain.

The real issue isn't paying for it, it's administering it. We make it so difficult to to navigate the social safety net that it becomes a skill and the people who need help are frequently without that skill.

To be honest, I’ve never seen an organisation go all the way around the clock, but I’ve seen plenty that have got to 5, 6, or 7 and feel considerable pain

In my (very) brief experience with enterprise Java, a very long time ago, I saw one go around the clock and make its way toward a second round: a DSL which started growing another DSL inside it. Of course, being Java, the DSL processors themselves were also overengineered excesses and had their own configuration and configuration-configuration... I didn't stay around long enough to see what eventually became of that system, but I have a feeling it's still in active use.
I come here specifically because it's not one of the million billion other places where all other stories get steamrolled by alt.gov.trumpdrama. I can think of two dozen places in less than 10 seconds where political news, analysis, and all of the related stone-throwing get top billing, and I utilize many of them regularly... my 1337 dev skills don't somehow make those political resources less useful to me. If there are government related stories with a technical bent, they do just fine here. Just because tech people have a civic duty to be aware of what's going on in the government doesn't mean that all tech communities should be political.
I know a little rudimentary theory. Just enough to get mocked by someone with a real education. "without any theory" is sort of an impossible standard to satisfy, but I will say I never think about theory consciously, and go by how things sound. Anyway, this is what I'm working on:

As someone attracted to this sort of thing, I have to say that it has nothing at all to do with the risk of death. Putting the fear of death into a simulated experience would do nothing for me. And for the record I would _prefer_ to be able to do extreme mountaineering without the risk of dying. Risk of death just happens to be what comes with the territory when pushing oneself to the limits of endurance.
Next time you comment start by saying you don't care what the truth is, it saves us reality-philes some time.

I did not make myself clear. OP was saying we should give people free housing and food so that they don't commit crime. IMHO that's basically yielding to extortion. By the same logic we should not put criminals in jail, instead we should give them lots of money so that they don't commit crime anymore.

Originally comes from 1 fc being the illuminance on a surface 1 foot away from a 1 candela light source.

A candela being roughly the intensity of light from a candle.

Intensity (candelas) breaking down to lumens per steradian. They're a measure of how bright a light is in a particular direction, rather than its total light output (which is lumens).

And steradians, for the unfamiliar, being a measure of "solid angle". Steradians are to 3D angles as radians are to 2D angles. A 1 steradian solid angle projects out to an area of 1 unit^2 on the surface of a unit sphere.

Fun stuff!
Ask HN: Do you see visual snow?
I recently discovered visual snow syndrome and learned that not everyone sees 'visual snow' like I do.

Visual snow is seeing static constantly in your vision; there is more static the darker it is. Here's what it looks like to me: http://i.imgur.com/OoFxbKM.gif

I thought everyone saw visual snow like me until I realised it is actually a rare disease, that is usually always associated with tinnitus (which I have an unexplained case of, since childhood).

Here's the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_snow

There's also a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/visualsnow/

Do you experience visual snow? Have you had it since childhood? Or has it recently developed? Did psychedelics affect anything?
Not that I want the federal govt meddling... I'm surprised other cities haven't pushed for this. I mean, just about any city within a 90 minute flight to SV is probably close enough if one has to do business there, and if you don't, all the better.

I'm frankly surprised that there isn't more effort to bring tech business into Denver, Phoenix, Houston and Atlanta... They all have some, but there's plenty of room for growth and the income to cost of living ratio for tech work is pretty nice... No you don't have the relatively great year round weather, but you do get more options.
I'm sure the mod team will respond to this eventually - but flags and downvotes are taken into account quite a bit to combat rampant upvote-rings.

Maybe the death penalty really is not more expensive than life in prison?
Other fun fact, 1 fc = 10.7639 lux, because that's how many square feet make up a square meter.

But in the lighting industry we just pretend 1 fc = 1 lux for most conversions, because eh, close enough.
For instance, while Imperial units aren't without some advantage, they are pretty generally inferior to the Metric system.

You say this pretty matter of factly, but I actually vehemently disagree. Many imperial measurements are better than their metric counterparts for day-to-day lay usage.

- Fahrenheit is a better scale than Celsius
- Inches, Feet, & Miles are very practical units. Centimeters, and Meters much less so.
- Pounds are smaller and offer better delineation than Kilograms.
- Liters are pretty similar to quarts, though I admit the various Imperial sub-units are annoying.

Sure, it's easier to convert between metric scales, but the number of times I actually do that?: approximately zero.
