Even more off topic but I'm surprised this isn't a consumer feature. There are so many sketchy chrome extensions that try and do this.
We don't know how much radiation the cameramen were exposed to. If they were close to enough nuclear tests they might very well have gathered a lifetime dose in the 100s of mS range without ever getting radiation poisoning. Which is certainly enough to up your cancer rates quite a bit.

Some online calculators tell me that the 5 guys in the photo got about 50 mS which is barely enough to detectably raise cancer rates.

With small nukes like that 2kt one the main danger tends to be from radiation rather than heat and blast. With big 2Mt nukes it's the opposite. Well, 2Mt nukes are basically all fission-fusion-fission devices and that last U-238 fission stage creates an immense amount of fallout.

You wouldn't of. It was developed internally to write Parasolid. Probably they still use it - several of the original devs are still there 30 years later.
I would love to get into it more deeply as you continue to supply details! :)

distributing hardware outside of your network and using puppet in master/client mode is obviously a bad idea, just like having any dependency is difficult to manage (sometimes like NTP)

However, clocks will drift. Consider ntpdate in a cron or an easier-to-manage sntp client vs ntpd, which is a little nutty.

So the point is that a tool like puppet, only properly configured, is probably a great asset for your use case of distributing hardware, as it can help keep things working as expected.

Medallia | San Mateo (California); Washington DC (Virginia); Buenos Aires (Argentina) | Software Engineer, Front-End, Back-End, Infrastructure, DevOps, Security, iOS, Android, Mobile

Success: I found this job with Who is Hiring in 2015 and referred someone successfully as well, so read on! The headquarters are mid-Peninsula, just 26 minutes by Caltrain from San Francisco or Palo Alto (free unlimited pass.)

1) Medallia powers reports and surveys for hundreds of the world's best companies like AirBnB, Hilton, Vanguard, Mercedes-Benz, Four Seasons, Nordstrom, and Delta Airlines.

2) Sequoia recently invested more money into Medallia than they ever have in any company.

3) We use many technologies and tools on various teams, such as Java, React, Angular, and React Native. We host some customers on AWS but the majority use our own scalable platform.

Please send me your resume and I'll make sure it gets looked at: email (my HN username) @ medallia.com
If it was easy to build high performance caches with high associativity, we would certainly see higher associativity. Ideally, you want a fully associative cache, but it's too expensive. In CPU caches, once a set is selected, all N associative ways are compared simultaneously. So growing associativity costs area and power for extra comparators. This growth could cause timing issues, i.e. add latency to the memory access or cause CPU freq. to be lowered.
That was freakishly familiar. >_<
Using DDG is an awesome, ethical thing to do. The fact that it's actually got perks over Google is just the cherry on top.
> Saying "that wasn't sexist; so-and-so is actually less assertive" kind of assumes that we're talking about conscious sexism.

The idea that less assertive implies female is sexist.

The person you're responding to could have simply meant the other participants refused to let the moderator walk over them like that, which has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with behavior.
One thing I like about HN is that it (usually) steers clear of politics. I hope it remains that way. There are other venues, including many technology-related sites, where there is plenty of political discussion.

A rule of thumb is that the really ridiculous stuff in Silicon Valley like the "three commas" or the "blood boy", actually happened.

Once I was put in charge of running regularly some DB scripts for a social site (non profit, not a payed job) with about 10K active users. It was all manual as the nobody had the time and skill to automate it. There was no development site, there was only production so adding any automation was also risky. And of course one fateful Sunday I pasted a script that was not properly adjusted and the DB was fubar. It took us more than a day to recover - thankfully we had a recently current backup. Later we all spoke about it and also did a write-up. The debriefing helped a lot processing the shock but for a long time I loathed to log into the DB.

When I'm fully in control I engineer things in a way that make disasters unlikely and easily recoverable. But that is not always possible. I tend to avoid touching any production DB but again that is not always possible.

I always believed I have a developer mindset more than an operational mindset and worked more in roles compatible with the former than the larger. When looking at the devops culture I always wonder whether the lessons of strict control of production environments are getting enough attention. There is value is closing the gap between the two world but please leave a gap.

No. What someone is willing to pay and what something intrinsically is worth is not the same thing. If the stated presumption is that the company was worth $400M before the $100M cash infusion, then it follows that it must be worth $500M after that.
Yes Puppet solved one problem... How do I add a cron to all devices, and retry it if it failed without adding it twice to devices where it worked. Puppet is amazing. It solved that problem....

But then it created a whole new world of problems since it violated our business model to have it phone home. Thanks for the suggestions on NTP. We'll likely add features that do require more accurate time in the future & your suggestions will probably come in handy!
Runit 1.4.0
The entire bit about Robert Thornton seems unnecessary, they can't even keep his name consistent. Though a German citizen writing a letter to an African-American in 1944 probably does say a fair amount about his philosophy of science, if you include the letter at all it seems worth mentioning.

Michael Moore launches TrumpiLeaks whistleblowing site
Why is it more important to you to prove it's "not sexism" than to be concerned that moderator did his job poorly regardless of the reason?
I'm not talking about the rich as a class. I'm in the UK where we have an unhappy combination of remarkably venal politicians (with some notable exceptions), media interests that are either overtly political (e.g. News International and the Daily Mail and related newspapers) or selected from a rather narrow privileged and biased group (e.g. BBC).

I'm not a Labour supporter - but the fact that a hard left party is within striking distance of winning the UK general election (despite the horrendously biased media coverage) shows that there things have got so bad for many people that extremely far left wing policies (by US standards) are starting to look attractive to an awful lot of people.

Not all rich people abuse their positions to obtain disproportionate political influence - but to get disproportionate political influence you have to be rich. Wealth isn't the problem - abuse of the power that wealth can bring is the problem.

Edit: Labour's motto of "For the many not the few" sums up the current political mess rather nicely.
"steers clear of politics"

I imagine there were many people in 1972-1973 who were also saying they hope discussions "steer clear of politics".

I know the mandate of HN (to the extent there is one) is not "politics" but on the other hand in times like these, I welcome any venue for citizens to become engaged. The stakes are very high.

Would making secondary market accessible to employees after a cliff - i.e. 2 years - solve this issue of "lottery tickets" we hear all the time?

If we let employees access liquidity events by having the board organizing restricted secondary sales every year, then their options will have a higher probability to have real value?

After all, VCs have lot less risk than employees... We can't diversify our portfolio like they can. They want to invest their money, we want liquidity. Giving us financial flexibility would have only pros IMO and would be a powerful recruiting tool as well.

At my current company, I pushed a lot for employees to get 10yr exercise window extension, which we now have. Now we need to push to get liquidity. I feel like it is our responsibility as employees to keep things moving for a fairer future.

We help adding value to the company, I think it will be fair to be able to sell our options even if the company is still private.

There are also companies like Equity Zen [1] that help giving employees liquidity. I wonder if that is a good alternative too?

Basically if we can unlock the value of options before an exit, options stop being lottery tickets and everyone is happy.

The reason he gave is not the main reason L1s don't grow. The main reason is latency.

Increasing cache size grows latency in two ways: every doubling of the cache size adds one mux to the select path, and every doubling increases the wire delay from the most distant element by ~sqrt(2). Both of these are additively on the critical path, and spending more time on them would require increasing the cache latency.

The size of a cache is always a tradeoff against the latency of the cache. If this was not true, there would only be a single cache level that was both large and fast. However, making something both large and fast is impossible, so instead we have stacked cache levels starting with a very fast but small cache followed by increasingly slower and larger ones.
This is the kind of attitude that leads to low quality, scrappy code, akin to copy and pasting Stackoverflow; I don't believe that a developer should need a great memory but they should have a good understanding which examples do not provide. I really like that the MDN docs are well specified and hope it stays that way.
There is lots of interesting stuff about optimism out there, some of which shows that optimists handle certain things differently. One experiment did something like asked how many pictures were in a fake newspaper they had printed and gave you a time limit. On some page (like page 2 or some other early page), it announced "This paper has X number of pictures." The optimists would see that and stop counting. They had their answer. The pessimists were so focused on counting pictures, they failed to read this big, bold statement.

So, basically, many optimists know how to hack the system instead of literally doing what they were told. This is part of what I am talking about. I am an optimist, but it isn't merely "think shiny thoughts." It is "I think I have the skillz to handle this and get a better outcome than what most people would expect or are predicting." And it is really problematic when the message is "you just need a better attitude." In my experience, a better attitude grows out of having the skills you need to tackle the problem. Many people don't have that. If you give them that, changes in attitude follow.

I don't really disagree with anything you have said here, except for the detail that this question was posted by a woman in tech on an overwhelmingly male forum. So, this parable tends to come across as suggesting that women merely have an attitude problem. I am the highest ranked woman here. Trying to establish the ability to open my mouth and get real engagement without it being a shit show has been a long, hard slog. Having done that, I am noticing more women able to open their mouths.

So, if the parable is helpful to you, awesome! But I didn't want to just stand by and say nothing knowing how such subtext can have a chill effect that is enormously harmful to already silenced minorities.

Apple's Strengths and Weaknesses

The FCC, pre-Trump, was starting to take down state legislation prohibiting community based/owned deployments. Both the physical layer and ISP service; and as regards the service, at least some community deployments allowed private ISP's to purchase capacity/access and resell their service as a competitor to the public service.

Federal regulation trumping (or not, as it were) state xxxxxxxxxx [edit out "regulation"; I meant to type "legislation"] that had been purchased and manipulated by large, private ISP's (the Bell babies, Comcast et al.) to eliminate competition.

Note further that those big ISP's often secured substantial (i.e. enormous) tax breaks and other incentives, in return for agreeing to "universal broadband deployment" in the relevant state/community's service area. They have almost universally reneged on their side of these agreements, sometimes e.g. lobbying the state legislature to let them out of their side of the agreement almost before the ink is dry on their signature to it.

Going back in time, early trunk capacity was to a significant extent government built and government owned. There wouldn't have been an "Internet" without the Feds. And, once opened up, they kept access on a rather equal footing. This might not have all been "codified" regulation -- though I guess that and/or a set of "operating rules" grew somewhat organically. But it certainly controlled and set precedent.

So, both presently and in the past, "regulation" has actually fostered competition.

And yeah, the corporate lawyer is a giant tool. Quelle surprise!
Given that they are ultimately the end-users, you'll want to involve them. Spend some time going through their process. Job shadow them and see what they do. A lot of times, things that they say may not be what they do.
There are plenty of people, especially on here, that want to maintain the ever widening gap between the many and the few. You make a great point about how more even distribution would increase the participation in the economy leading to more activity naturally.

IIUC, existing services use geostationary orbits, which accounts for a lot of the cost and latency.

The new plan is to use a large number of satellites in LEO, with receivers able to switch to whichever are currently in view. Lower orbits are cheaper, and latency should have a better lower bound.

However, what I meant was that for fast, quick coding, if your 'operator' function is really simple, then lambda fints perfectlu.

I know the Zen of Python says: "There should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it", but i don't align to that principle. I think there should be more than one way to do something, and one should choose one that fits the best.

Python is multi-paradigm, I think everyone would agree, but I think they removed the ability to do this with function composition like map, reduce and filter in v3 no? Specifically in favor of list comprehensions and generators?

The first rule of Hacker News is that you don't talk about downvotes. But I'd like to educate you, so here goes.

While I didn't personally vote you down, I can absolutely make a guess why. You posted a URL (a Twitter one, no less) with absolutely zero context at all. You didn't say "Here's what [well known statistician] has to say about this study." You also pointed to the Tweet, rather than the article (or in this case, more specifically, the recent update to an already existing article) that the statistician Tweeted about. You left all the work up to the reader (two clicks and a bunch of reading before they know why you posted a nondescript URL).

Why should anyone click on a URL to a Tweet without context? They shouldn't, which means that the URL adds no value to the conversation, which means the comment gets voted down.
