One thing that should’ve been mentioned is the power of meditation when it comes to striving towards a more mindful lifestyle. From my personal experience, meditating has helped me control my mind. It allows me to pay closer attention to virtually everything that I do or say. I believe that meditation can greatly help someone become more mindful.

Might as well consider the overall thing proprietary unless your customers exclusively want the kernel plus also-ran software.

I came across a research paper about 10 years ago that studied happiness across disciplines and was able to show correlation between unhappiness and professions where pay was high and hourly (eg lawyers). The paper suggested that constantly reinforcing the concept of time as money was a possible source of unhappiness.

Why do Chinese leaders prioritize sovereignty over prosperity? Is it because of politics? I think not. It's more to do with culture and history. China has had a long history of being caught in endless cycles of being divided and united. So much that it became the opening sentence of popular novel "Three Kingdoms" long before optimum war.
If there's one thing that Chinese people really hate, is to see their homeland being taken away and families separated. I don't think cultures where people did not have this kind of experience can have this feeling.

This is propagandistic pablum. The actual reason is that Hong Kong was a locus of independent political power and the structure of the CCP means any independent centers of power are existential threats to its own power. Therefore all centers of power that are not wholly subordinate to the CCP must be destroyed.

Contrary to popular belief, Chinese (Han) people are never interested in conquering foreign lands. They just want to take back what used to belong.

Try telling this to the Uighur, the Tibetans, the Vietnamese, the Mongols, the native Taiwanese...the Chinese have been just as aggressive and nakedly imperialistic as any other major world power.

What's the point of a supposedly decentralized CFD market when asset prices need to be looked up outside the chain? The reason a decentralized CFD market hasn't been built on top of Bitcoin already is that the challenge is agreeing on the market price of the assets in question, in order to calculate a difference, and this process is inherently centralized.

Creating a smart contract for this makes as much sense as a smart contract for betting on the next US president: we decide the outcome of the contract by the result we feed into the contract, since the contract has no way of knowing this itself. Of course, we can always use a group of trusted intermediaries, but when doing so the decentralized property is lost, and we might as well ditch the underlying blockchain, since it doesn't provide any security benefits.

Ask HN: Obfuscation techniques against patent trolls
I'm building a product, and plan on launching in about a month.

What are some prominent software concepts that patent trolls target? For example, somewhat recently many companies were sued by Guyzar for "keeping user sessions after a user has logged in", which would basically effect all known sites that use some form of authentication. (https://theamericangenius.com/business-news/guyzar-llc-trolling/).

I thought about renaming my authentication end-point from /api/oauth/v2 to /api/a2, or something cryptic.

Obviously, I need authentication. And I'm using OAuth. Do you see obfuscation as suitable obstacles to patent trolls, for small companies and startups?

What other concepts do patent trolls target, and how would you obfuscate them in your code to make it less obvious to the trolling lawyers?

Politics are a bit ahead of you, at least in the most advanced countries (Scandinavia etc.): They have almost completely eliminated concepts such as (moral) guilt from law. They may send you to (a rather comfortable) prison, but never as retribution. Only being an actual, ongoing danger to others can justify taking someone's freedom. Same with drug addiction: it's treated as a disease, not personal failure.

On the specific issue of HK, it's been part of China for a very long time and only taken away recently. Of course we are not talking about taking back European territories that used to belong to some dynasties briefly. Just those stable ones since Ming and Qing dynasty. As another comment pointed out, although China has been divided many times, the geographic boundaries did not change much, unlike Europe.

Taiwan is more debatable because it was separated from China geographically, culturally and economically for very long periods of time.

I'm not sure developers are naturally skilled at parsing presentations (done by other developers, who also often aren't fantastic presenters) into meaningful presentations to give back in the office. Not that conferences aren't worth it, I'm just not sure they're worth it for that.
Its a combination of reasons:

- Netherlands is compact (10km from town to town, bikable)

- Netherlands is flat

- Cities are old, and are not easy to navigate with cars

- Cars are expensive

- Infrastructure is in place (everywhere!)

- Bikes are cheap

- Biking is healthy

- Biking is often faster in cities for <10km distances (better routes, no searching for parking place)

Note: If you want bikelanes in your city/country: Just start biking, the more and more people are biking, the more politics is forced to build infra. This is happening in Paris, Latvia, and more!
> Comey recently said that NY times articles on Trump were fake news.

That's misrepresenting what he said. He said some NYT articles he had read were completely wrong. Which is not the same thing as fake news. I now have a better understanding of why the Republican senator asked that question though: to encourage the wholesale dismissal of all critical stories as "fake news" by people like you.
> Not sure what this exactly means, but the "universe is deterministic" is part of what mainstream science claims.

It doesn't. Quantum physics is as mainstream as they come, and so is chaos theory.

But determinism doesn't actually have much to do with "free will". There are many known indeterminate stochastic processes, yet nobody would claim that they possess free will, i. e. radioactive decay.

Thank you for writing this. I used to wonder how flies have such terrific reaction times and whip around the air with insane agility. And then I wondered if we are just seeing them in fast forward, due to the relatively slow clock in our heads. I imagined it was why they had such a short lifespan of just several days. And I imagined them seeing us as glacially moving statues—"man this guy hasn't moved in years!"

Reading your description of cells as moving imperceptibly fast only fills me more with this sense—that we are very slow moving giants, waiting on the billions of "years" of inner machinery time to tick us forward ever so slowly.
Those aren't shadows, they're marketing profiles.
Migrating has a cost, and staying on old tech that nobody wants to learn anymore also has a cost.

The lesson isn't to migrate every year to the new hotness, it's to pick proven tech that is going to still exist in ten years. The Lindy effect applies.

Fewer technologies, with better support and bigger communities, are better than a fragmented ecosystem.

Fringe technologies come and go. The only reason to bet on a fringe technology is if you see major advantages, and in that case it is unlikely to remain fringe. Once it has been around for a few years and adoption is flat or dropping, yes, it is time to move on. That's just the cost of making a bad bet.

The number of technologies you can learn in your career and really master is limited. Too many people forget that.

The traditional structural classifications just have very low information content in the context of protein dynamics. Coil especially. You've given the example of a disordered region interconverting on different timescales, but these timescales can, purportedly, be predicted from chemical shift data, etc. [1], so why not call it "fast coil" or "slow coil"? It's not only about timescales either, because you may need to do extra experiments for that data. It's about finding the highest information content descriptors for an amino acid and using machine learning to do it. Your descriptors (jello, velcro, balloons) are actually much better at conveying dynamics than the static descriptors used in structural biology.

It wasn't "almost" a predecessor to C, it was a direct predecessor.
As a Python person, I'd say it's not so much about "power" as it is about correctness: equating "sequence of bytes in an encoding" with "string" is the source of a lot of (potentially hard-to-find) bugs and annoyances. So the approach of saying that a string is a sequence of Unicode codepoints, and that there's a separate type to represent sequences of bytes (plus codecs to handle translating between the two types), is a better way to do things.

And I think this is borne out by the sheer number of articles that have to be written to remind people who use "strings are bytes in an encoding" languages of just how many assumptions they end up making that turn out to be wrong (most of which boil down to expecting bytes-in-an-encoding types to behave the way Python's string really do behave, as sequences of codepoints rather than as sequences of bytes where there may or may not be one-to-one-correspondence between bytes and codepoints).
I find the difference between the Free and Pro versions especially for the live preview a bit confusing.

> I'm really not sure the drive for garbage collected languages in memory constrained systems with no user recoverability. Seems like a recipe for a device that just stops working from time to time.

Remember all those home computers from seventies and eighties, such as C64, Apple II, MSX compatibles and Spectrum? Almost all of them were running "garbage collected" BASIC interpreters.

I don't think blanket statements are justified. There are a lot of different types of embedded systems.

> Without them, how can you guarantee an interrupt can be reliably serviced in time?

You wouldn't allocate memory in IRQ service routine in the first place, GC or not. GC, dynamic (malloc) and static system would all take exactly as long to service an interrupt.

GC can also be a subset of the system, where less time critical functionality is running.

That's not to say embedded systems should do allocation at runtime. It's often reasonable to avoid it. But perhaps not all the time.

"All models are wrong, but some are useful." -George Box
i7 7820X is the CPU is probably the best system price/performance overall in the long run right now. Threadripper might be competing it depending on what you do but we don't know about it yet. For software developers having over 50% lead in compilation performance compared to ryzen 7 1800X (nightly build of chromium on visual studio) should make it a good choice.

A) In system price there are many components and that
makes ultra cheap CPU:s in other vice identical configurations not so good price-performance.

B) Performance is really the performance differential from what you upgrade. And even more importantly the performance differential years from now to systems of that time, if you upgrade to a system that lasts 5 years before you upgrade or to a system that lasts 7 years before you upgrade is significant in terms of price/performance because later means you get the high performance early and price last longer.

C) Significantly higher single threaded performance compared to Ryzen 7 the main contender. There are still many tasks that are single threaded, especially if you run legacy code.

D) AVX-512 I doubt the review benchmarks are in AVX-512 but some legacy code. AVX-512 increases both width of vector and fraction of code and algorithms that can be parallerized significantly. Once compilers are well tuned to use AVX-512 the code compiled with AVX-512 optimizations turned on should be significantly faster than what it was before hand. Simply being able to do 8-16 times work per cycle in large variety of tasks is significant advantage even if that is for a good fraction of time instead of all the time.

Personally I7-920 has given me far better price-performance compared to people who bought dual core at the time simply because it has lasted LONGER so it had superior price/(time between CPU upgrades) measurement. Right now in that same measurement I7-7820X is the king.

So in conclusion I7-7820X is faster in both real legacy code and the future code, and gives good enough performance longer simply because code that you run when you would start considering upgrades run much faster on it simply because of extensions.

It actually looks quite good in my experience. Definitely better than the "ultrafast" preset on CPU encoding.

I use CRF though mostly for GPU encoding which should remedy the issue at the possible cost of file size (didn't seem to be a significant increase, but was a slight one).

I'm also talking HEVC and not H.264 though primarily - and using NVENC not a CUDA based encoder as your link mentions. I've also seen it mentioned that things have improved a lot on the newer GPUs, so might be worth a try again if you've got a 10xx card around.
I find the text very small (that's easily remedied); the white on blueish gray to be difficult to read; and most of the space on the page wasted. Even hitting cmd-+ a couple times I can't get text to use more than half the horizontal space.
I live in a "small" Japanese city (pop 300,000). I've only seen clubs in the central entertainment district. There are lots of small neighborhood pubs interspersed among houses though, but they don't cause any nuisance.
I've written something similar myself in C++ before, but I'm curious if people actually have interest in using something like this regularly. I had thought I would do something like configure lynx to use it but the novelty quickly wore off and instead I went and started playing with the Mandelbrot set in the terminal and forgot all about it.
This! Everyone seems to be forgetting about this aspect, which is very important IMO.
That is true. Now we have to see if this model or these models are useful. Are there other models that provide a better answer?

So I actually talked with a dictionary expert that was a developer for WordNet. He told me that he spent tons of time trying to determine which definition is the right one. He came to the conclusion that dictionary authors quite often disagree on the ordering of definitions and that it is a lost cause to try to rank definitions.

I disagreed with him though. I think that definition form, word usage within the definition, and definition popularity can all contribute to selecting a "right one". That's why I applied statistical techniques to rank the definitions and reorder them to hopefully put the "right one" first.

Sadly, it seems that I didn't do such a great job for you with the word "quarrel".

Feedback noted as this will help when I start collecting data from users and make a push to improve my statistical analysis.

Thank you again and please let me know if you would like to discuss this further with me. Hope all is well. :)

I'm trying my hardest to understand how this is a novel problem. Maybe somebody can help me?

If I control the stack pointer and can write to where it points, I can write to arbitrary in process memory. Sure!

Is that just valuable as a ROP trick?

But if I have that, isn't just writing to the actual stack more valuable? Why does stack growth matter at all besides being a complication where one can not write to one specific page?

How does this get you to write to out of process memory?
