I haven't seen any erratic crashes yet on code compiled by LLVM 8.1.0 on multiple projects (ROS, Qt5). I hope a microcode fix is pushed by Apple on behalf of Intel soon.
stop playing lawyer ball. i'm talking about the bugs that require turning off core functionality (such as hyperthreading) and/or that lead to system halts / corrupted data.

yes it happens, but software bugs happen every day where as if your system blue screened every day you know dang well you'd be on the phone with the hardware vendor for a refund / new system.

True, but Yahoo! was still dominant for a while after search engines came on the scenes. There's always some lag, but trading is a lot more like searching the web than like driving a car.

> Still seems that over any length of time, one should just go with index funds.

Right now, those index funds are managed by humans based on indices built by humans. I reckon that they also have the potential to be cheaper when completely automated.
The Little Snitch beta works on High Sierra (I have both running on one of my machines).

High Sierra does not load 3rd party kexts by default, but you can whitelist the LS kext in the Security Preferences.

(The day I cannot use signed kexts anymore will probably my last day on macOS.)

Sure. Headless designs is going in the right direction IMO, but other than that, don't fool yourself, the Strandberg and Kiesel guitars etc. are still very traditional designs:

Wooden body, wooden neck, wooden fretboard, and in the case of Strandberg, Ibanez AANJ-style neck joint and silver/nickel frets (Carvin/Kiesel have neck-through and SS frets as options, or at least used to have). Most, if not all parts, you can get from Warmoth/All Parts, no custom designed parts there, apart from maybe the Strandberg's string fastening mechanism/headpiece, but that one is pretty crude, to be honest.
Solar panels degrade about 0.7 percent a year based on historical data for the last two decades; after 20 years they're still generating at 80+% of total output.

This doesn't take into account the ridiculous cost decline curve we're seeing in solar, and that'll be a fraction of the cost to replace degraded capacity decades from now.

improving their process using off the shelf software is likely to be more practical than a custom app

That really depends on context. Very often something starts out sounding like "document with text and pictures" or "database with some tables in it and some forms for UI", making it an easy job with generic business software. However, often when you look at the details the actual requirements are more complicated and require some level of domain-specific functionality.

There are many applications that are aimed at a certain industry and provide some core function that seems quite generic but then some other more industry-specific functions on top. That certainly includes tracking, displaying and annotating specifications and inspection results in the construction industry, where there are multiple players in the market already.

A quick search on Google reveals that GOP legislators in at least Indiana and Wyoming are working to actively legislate against wind farms. So, it certainly has precedent.

edit: and here's an article that explicitly talks about how GOP members are trying to undermine wind power generation in Texas. https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterdetwiler/2017/02/14/propos...
Even in databases without the same performance issues as PSQL, like SQL Server, "with clauses" can cause performance issues on their on own.

I recently refactored a long SQL query with a half-dozen with-expressions to a single query and increased the performance by an order of magnitude. They had used "with" to build up a query from a bunch of independent sets and then union them together and, while perfectly logical, it was a performance nightmare. In the end, I just took all the conditions that made up each query and combined it into one with the appropriate joins. I'd even argue that ultimately the finished product was easier to understand.
> How does this compare to Mithril etc?

I am the author of HyperApp and also a big fan of Mithril. I'll try to compare both as fairly as I can. This is not a full or even adequate comparison, I'm just adding to the thread.

Mithril has something called auto-redrawing, that IIRC re-renders the application after DOM events by default. This can be seen as inefficient, but Mithril throttles rerenders, which ameliorate any issues caused by it.

Mithril has no state management solution out of the box.

This may be desirable if you want to experiment with different state management architectures until you find one that you like.

HyperApp has its own built-in state management solution which is inspired and draws a lot from the Elm Architecture. In this way, it's a lot like React and Redux, but since everything is built-in, there's essentially 0 boilerplate.

The drawback is that there's no other state management available for HyperApp.

Mithril has stateful components, which is a simple and useful way to reuse code across your app and easily port to other apps.

HyperApp has custom tags, which are pure functions and stateless. They only accept props and know how to render themselves. If you are coming from React, Backbone, Angular (basically everywhere else), scaling applications will seem difficult at first, but it's not, it's just different.

We are currently working on a component abstraction which is based on the idea of a fragmented state. We'll release 1.0.0 when that's done.

Mithril is bundled with m.request, which simplifies making HTTP requests.

HyperApp has no built-in facilities to help you make HTTP requests. I am not interested in a custom xhttp solution when there is a `fetch` standard.
He knew for half a year and did nothing because he thought Hillary would win. I can't really blame Putin for laughing at him for making threats in his last month of presidency. Obviously, it was already too late for him to do anything serious at that point.

Another thing I'm still resentful towards Obama about is that he kept saying the election wasn't rigged, I guess because he wanted to say the opposite of what Trump was saying, for some reason. But now it's like all the intelligence agencies are saying they definitely saw Russians hacking electoral offices and whatnot. I'm sure Obama knew about this, too, but again he chose to be silent about it.
Well I have some anecdata for you. I personally know three people who have cancelled subsequent trips to the USA after their treatment on entry, and I personally will not be coming back after the way I was treated. I've travelled on business to over 30 countries, and thus is the first time I've decided that a particular one is just not worth the hassle.

So you keep believing everything is ok, I'm sure it makes you feel better, rather than actually listening to other people's stories.
Consulting doesn't scale, software does.

One pragmatic strategy to find product/customers:

1) Pick an industry
2) Ask someone in that industry what they use spreadsheets for
3) Build something better

There is a lot of 'cybernetic' processes that are a mix of humans with domain knowledge and machines with spreadsheets for schemaless storage and querying. Generally the move is to encode the domain knowledge into code and standardize the storage (i.e excel -> RDMS) to make it more useful.
On the Gate of Heaven
The only reason police organizations are making it about biometrics is because they have an easier time getting that then getting laws changed to compel pin/password unlocking.

But make no mistake, this is all about getting unfettered access to everything bit of data they can without a warrant. They saw an easy opening to circumvent existing laws and they jumped for it.
What kind of activities does your church organize?
I'd expect this to happen when there is a split in the original case as well. E.g. you need to translate the template and the names. They are split in the original already, so they are translated as a split.

The same contextual issue then arises in the original, but apparently the designers thought the trade-of was worth it.
Hmm, interestingly I got the foobar challenge when I visited the site.

Very amusing that the article ends with

Part of the concern for renewable energy folks is that you could argue that God is arranging for more coastal property, though not perhaps in ways useful to wind farmers on the Texas coast.
We're talking about a small consulting shop here at the start, where the paycheck comes form the actual work. Makes a lot of sense. No VC would touch that kind of business at that point anyway, not scalable.

Even later on, once they have a product, why would you change that? 50-50 is great, since you need both parties to agree to do something, which is essential in a small business like this.

In the absence of a fair pollution tax, I don't think subsidies for less-harmful technologies are necessarily bad. Unless you are actively in favor of the tragedy of the commons, these negative externalities have to be addressed somehow.

You could probably detect the message being opened if you wanted to. I think I have read somewhere about RFID to see if someone has opened a marketing mail, and I have also read about using eggs to seal the message to make it harder to open without destroying it entirely, as well as reusing the envelopes from junk mail to send your own messages. There is other stuff too possible such as trap messages I suppose. Also, the message may be hand written and is not necessarily typed, so hand written message would probably make OCR more difficult I should think.
That I am able only to produce "meaningless word salad" as you put it is yet another reminder of why I am out of here.

Everything is fine. The world will go on without me. The only thing wrong is that I'm still alive.

You want me to study philosophy? My issues with the primal nature of humanity is merely the surface issue. I decided long ago as a child that such behaviors are enough reason to never procreate and planted the strong seed of incessant suicidality.

Ive already spent a lifetime exploring complexity. Enough already.
So maybe do we have somewhere some cool benchmarks to compare with the others frameworks ?

The brain’s bandwidth problem and its cost in the hyper-connected age
I think the solution is to upgrade SQL the language. There's a very low complexity threshold after which you have to trade readability/composability for decent performance (in other words, there are a lot of cases where a human can notice a permissible optimization, but a database can't because it might break correctness for some odd edge case). We're solving that problem with programming languages (notably Rust); I'm not convinced that there's something inherently different about relational databases.
The 8-bit is actually reasonable: they have one output per possible value, so 16 bit would mean 65k outputs... They could probably do a secondary step that adds less significant bits. The low samplerate is probably because it's originally used for speech, and a lot of speech databases are in 16 kHz.

They controlled for diet, natural feeding tendencies, etc. presumably to match conditions in the wild. They never said the monkeys who "naturally" ate the most DIDN'T die first; they probably did. But that certainly doesn't mean that calorie restriction below the "average" feeding tendency doesn't provide benefit.
It's painful to have to read text like « select Intel Pentium processor models ».

If Intel used marketing names that were more closely related to technical reality, then when something like this happens they wouldn't have so many customers finding themselves in the "maybe I'm affected by this horrid bug" box.

The Harvard study estimated the negative externalities of coal at 200-500 billion annually. The study estimates the effective subsidy from not including these costs at 9-27 cents per kilowatt hours.
"There is no such expectation/pressure on women" is a bit of a blanket statement, and I highly doubt it's true; see e.g. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11406568/Why-wo....

We all, regardless of gender, face different types of pressures from outside. Women are often seen (and mystified) through motherhood, and men through stoic toiling. Women are supposed to be the emotional ones, and men hard and logical and impervious to emotions. You see it all the time in various forums when people comment on a sad article, with the "I'm not crying, I'm cutting onions schtick." A lot of this comes down to old gender roles born out of a confusing soup of evolution, Abrahamic social norms, and history. It's not just the men facing social pressures, it's everybody in the society.
>this has been a conservative talking point for a long time.

It was addressing the exact ideology and behavior that is coming into fruition now, and we should have listened. In the early 90s people watched as the fringe slowly leaked out into the mainstream, and now it's fully into the mainstream. Example: the only acceptable feminist in public discourse is now the radfem (google the term if you think I'm using an epithet)--if you deny patriarchy as an omnipresent and nearly omnipotent, incorporeal force, you don't have a seat at the table. Another example: privilege theory, the "invisible knapsack" is a concept invented in the 90's, and while it has an academic basis, and functions as a motte-and-bailey argument in almost every use.

The ratio of college campus hate hoaxes to actual hate has got to be sky high. Yes some are real, but they almost never pan out, and the university silently drops agitating about it.

I don't see how you can even say this stuff. This is like the opposite of people who believe in bigfoot and UFOs. We all have cellphones with cameras on them. And so Youtube is filled with insane campus protests, assaults, bizarre seminars and speeches, and yet people deny they exist or have any power.
We aren’t as closely bound. We no longer live in the same village for generations, which means we don’t have the same generational connections.

That's true over longer time periods, but Americans are moving much less than in previous decades.

Of course, it might be that the lonely people today were the movers of the 70s/80s.
The problem with finding a physics bug is that it's liable to be amplifiable. Break conservation laws just a little bit and suddenly you have potential for exponential runaway leading to an unplanned reality excursion, and say goodbye to your light-cone.
Ask HN: What does your “Router Security Checklist” look like?
What does your "Router Security Checklist" look like? i.e. What actions do you take to ensure your wireless router is secure as possible?

I agree, that's somewhat annoying, but that's also something developers and commissioners want.

But the good news is that the DOM skeleton is so minimal that you can create a stylesheet that does exactly what you said. Given the reference to the selection, positioning the popover is up to the developer.

The thing you're talking about is not Leftism, it's Identitarianism.

Remember, the left-right dichotomy is about how the means of production should be owned and controlled. While the Left does also stand for such progressive causes such as anti-racism and anti-sexism, the contemporary Liberal/Clintonite strain of Identitarianism doesn't have much overlap with actual Leftism.
She is doing important work. The attachment theory is just as applicable to emergent phenomena than Nazism or death cults. Just consider those (depending on your PoV): "violent radical leftists"/"idiotic racist Trump supporters" -- just announcing such labels requires a strong binding to what you consider the "opposite" (and correct) view.
That makes sense. I'm a mathematician, and my experience is with pure computations, homogeneous across each (virtual) core.

Dart for the web is purely a compile-to-JavaScript language now. The last bit will be replacing Dartium with DDC [2].

To be honest by how many times the terms Nazi and Facism get flung about these days i'de say that people _not_ seeing people as someone like a Nazi maybe isn't the problem, but quite the opposite.

Then again I suppose both our views are pretty anecdotal and futile to even talk about without it degenerating into "well i saw six people do this", "well i saw seven do the other so my view is more right" kind of gobblewash.
IME an easy defeat for Touch ID, on the iPhone 5S at least, is to lick your fingers. Your phone will fail to unlock, and if you do it five times, your phone disables Touch ID for you.

Another trick is to simply turn off the phone. Touch ID is always initially disabled at boot.

I wish Apple would add a “duress finger” feature though.
By the way, many campus sexual assault protests are very political, the ones that demand removing presumption of innocence, both at the university policy and even at the legal level. That is just about as political as you can get.
I think you've missed my point. I'm saying that it would be nice if interactive tools were a bit smarter and could guess that the white space was unwanted. Syntax checking in editors has improved a lot but it should do more than just suggest long variable names as you're typing them.

This a merely a symptom of bad schooling, not the students (well maybe a little bit the students and the math/learning-hostile culture they grow up in).

There should be no reason why kids who spent such a large part of their childhood all day long, 5 times a week, in a learning institution and can't demonstrate basic learning despite getting good enough grades to get in college.

Don't most college courses requiring math have an algebra recap course to start in first year? Likely as a result of this lack of basic math literacy.

I honestly don't blame a lot of kids who enter college not knowing how to add fractions. Math classes are pretty awful in most schools and they likely just memorized enough stuff before tests then subsequently forgot it.

They didn't have any deep grasp of the fundamental rules, such as finding a common denominator.

Although there is no excuse for answering that by guessing.

When I started a journey down learning advanced math I bought 'Forgotten Algebra' [1]. It's a great recap over everything taught in elementary/high schools and can be finished pretty quickly. Any college course involving math should make this required reading the summer before school or as part of first year for those who fail a basic math test.

I'm convinced this wouldn't been nearly as necessary if we had classrooms with the Khan Academy model with homework in class in group settings with the teacher walking around helping and lectures watched online, with interactive teaching tools. This is particularly useful for math.

Something built on top of Sage (now called Vocal) [1] or Python notebooks would be great for this.
