I originally thought this paper presented evidence for extra dimensions discovered in gravitational wave readings.

This is certainly not the case, as this paper presents two potential effects from higher dimensional gravity waves and proposes methods to detect them.

Namely, we would need an equivalent to LIGO that features detection arms in all three axes rather than just X and Z. The second predicted effect requires a GWave detector that is several orders of magnitude more sensitive than LIGO.

I love the structured pipes, but as mentioned in another discussion, replacing the shell is a big leap for a lot of people. And you can get quite far without it with tools like "jq". And when I saw this, I just had to tinker a bit to see what I could do with Ruby, based on the example on the homepage:

$ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/elves/elvish/issues |
jr 'each{|issue| puts "#{issue["number"]}: #{issue["title"]}"} ' | head -n 11

Or (I expect pitchforks when you see the implementation for this):

$ curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/elves/elvish/issues |
jr 'puts{"#{$I["number"]}: #{$I["title"]}"}' | head -n 11

With "jr" looking like this[1]. Expect this to fall apart in all kinds of ways - it was just something I threw together. Not convinced the monkey-patched "puts" is worth it, but it's just an experiment..

This is a BIG (and breaking) change. It would cost the company ten minutes to send out a proper notice. Burying these changes deep down in a terms and conditions document is bad behaviour.

Proper way to do this would be to:
- Notify your customers about the change in an easy to read email and/or message when you log in.
- Only apply the change to new uploads at first, then it's easily discoverable and handled by users. Inform them that you plan to do this for all hosted images.
- Apply the change to older uploads a few months later.

Hiding and rushing it just makes people angry. They won't pay if they feel you tricked them.
Ask HN: Can one add an HTML comment before the DOCTYPE?
In HTML, the first line should be the DOCTYPE: <!DOCTYPE html>, so that the client knows it's HTML. The fact that the line starts with `<!` tells the client that what follows is not actual code to be interpreted.

So, I'm wondering: can one add comments before the DOCTYPE? Will they be ignored, will they trigger compatibility mode on some browsers, or we just don't know?

I'd like to do:

<!-- this is a comment -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
etc.

I think a lot of the nostalgia is a result of being uncomfortable dealing with people now being the "insiders" rather than the users. It's much easier to call out the new generation of users or large companies and praise old things than actually creating something relevant for today.

I've played around with creating a relevant version of things like usenet, but at the end of the day it wasn't something I wanted to work on. A large part of the work is correcting for flaws of the Internet that most "hackers" won't recognize. And while you could certainly overcome those problems, I don't think the end result would be worth it. Much of the "hacker crowd" these days aren't, in my opinion, motivated by naive curiosity and shallow idealism (like it used to be), but forced nativity to further their own interests and a opinionated demeanor. That's why many of these alternative services don't work out. Because they aren't motivated by creating something that is nice to use, but to satisfy the convoluted criteria of the creators.
Answer 4 questions before choosing which community metrics to measure
The point I'm trying to make is that computers "do arithmetic" through digital operations where there is a symbolic representation (through assigning analogue state to discrete symbolic values). Not through transistors operating continuously in their linear region.

Inside neuronal systems there doesn't seem to be a direct symbolic representation - and if there is, the neuronal patterns of somebody doing calculus on paper versus e.g. catching a ball are entirely different.
As a movie buff this doesn't surprise me at all. I'm still waiting for THE movie about the US intervention in Iraq, the same kind of movies that Apocalypse Now, "The Deer Hunter" and even Rambo I were for the Vietnam war. I think my wait will be in vain.

Among many linguists the whole study of the Pirahã language is sort of bogus because it goes against a few core ideas of Chomsky that they love so much, almost like a dogma.

What exactly is an "unfinished job"?

If it's functionality that doesn't exist yet, it doesn't need to exist until there is something that requires it, in which case a TODO is useless and your ticket will be a meaningful business requirement if and when that requirement exists.

If it's "tech debt," then you have to ask yourself "can it ship like this?" If they answer to that question is "yes," then you should really be asking yourself "does this need doing?"

If at that point the answer really is "yes" (unlikely) then hopefully your team has enough context and understanding of their codebase that they can do it when appropriate - if you really really have to, raise a ticket.

TODOs are a symptom that something is wrong up the chain.

>If somebody asks you what "cat" does,

Yes I get what you're saying but I'll try to emphasize again that I'm not trying to play semantic games to irritate everyone. (Yes, we can play word games such as "a tank is an armored military vehicle -- unless it is just a cardboard facade to fool Germans that the Allies are invading a different a part of France's coastline or acting as a movie prop for special effects work.") Every "thing" can be defined with endless cumbersome qualifiers that nobody actually says in real life.

That said, I felt the context in this thread warranted a different threshold to qualify Rust's UB because one example of John Regehr 200 UB bullet points is:

- Demotion of one real floating type to another produces a value outside the range that can be represented (6.3.1.5).

The Rust UB github issue is not exactly the same cast but similar in spirit. Therefore, justinpombrio's comment that "Besides unsafe blocks, Rust has no undefined behavior," doesn't look accurate to me in the context of this UB thread rather than just casual speech about Rust. I can't read the mind of the poster asking the question (chrisdew) to know exactly what his scope of "UB" included but I think the reality of unintentional UB in Rust is relevant in this particular conversation.

There a story a couple of months ago about the fact that they've saved a lot of time by going straight to the main production lines rather than building a testing line first?

It's solar plus batteries which have been used for rovers for a long time, but simply weigh more and have a relatively short lifespan. Especially when you consider how useful 'waste' heat is on a planet that gets that cold.

As to contamination, it's a planet we did not abandon earth when Chernobyl melted down. Worst case nobody goes within 100 miles of it for a few decades. But frankly people are unlikely to go to 99% of Mars anytime soon and can't walk outside without significant protection anyway.
That helps, but is not bullet proof. Changes to optimization passes can cause warnings to be emitted in cases where they weren't previously. For example, detection of an unused result of an expression.

Maybe that'd help ditch Twitter, but not Facebook. There needs to be a better (de-centralized) solution for writing that's longer that also provides the ability to add photos, videos, etc. The substitute for Facebook should be like Facebook in almost every way in terms of features to get better adoption, with improvements in several areas where Facebook is weaker.
That is surprising: the cells of large-bodied or older animals should have divided many more times than those of smaller or younger ones, so should possess more random mutations predisposing them to cancer.

Can a biologist reading this confirm that? I thought smaller organisms generally have much faster metabolisms to offset their shorter lifespans. Or is it the same at the cellular level?

It "doesn't work" because it isn't repeatable or predictable. My wife has a similar story to yours... I had a zero effect experience with the same practitioner.

Like chiropractic, there is "something" there, but it's mostly mild physical relief + belief/placebo effect.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, especially for pain relief where the alternatives are pretty high impact (surgery, ineffective narcotics, other treatments that lose efficiency over time). The problem is there are practitioners who claim to cure cancer, etc, and there's no way for anyone to vet that.

How is ALLOW_COMPILER_WARNINGS implemented?
CommBank is probably a bad example, as they do all sorts of crazy things. In some areas, Infrastructure is outsourced to HP, Application management is shared between internal staff and consultancies. In others, its all in-house, and in others its a mix of independent contractors and internal staff.

The Federal Government is a mixed bag. The larger agencies are required to comply with the Information Security Manual, which is a prescriptive set of controls from ASD. They mostly outsource infrastructure to a contractor and then either have in-source development or outsource it depending on the amount of development performed. For example, if they need to set up a new system as a once off, its probably outsourced. If its something that will continually be added to they will hire developers.

Government departments struggle to get skilled staff who will work for government wages and pass a security clearance. They also lack a lot of knowledge around IT at upper levels. Additionally, when they budget for systems they are terrible about asking for additional CAPEX to reduce on-going OPEX. They usually undercut their budget, half implement a system and then rely on manual processes. The efficiency dividend and on-going cuts then eat into their ability to perform those manual processes.
Market size is always a problem in Switzerland. But you could say the same of startups in Israel, which seem to be doing just fine. As a Swiss startup (or a startup starting in any small market), you know from the beginning that you will have to internationalise. You don't start with your local market, you start with the global market in mind.
Read my 2 comments below. Sry for the confusion.
In addition to notes in other comments, vertical slicing helps to avoid a tendency for rigid layers to emerge (think the rigid and doomed-to-be-messy Controller -> Service -> Repository "pattern"), which ultimately helps lead to looser, more naturally composed component structures.

You can still have files and folders that cut horizontally across those modules (e.g. for things like logging, sending an email, etc. etc.) - in fact, organizing your hierarchy in vertical slices helps to _promote_ good isolation of those cross-cutting concerns.
Maybe they are trying to cash out? Instead of building a sustainable model, they are banking on some people paying because their service is broken right now, and after the initial inrush of cash, as everyone leaves they will shutter the whole thing.

This has been revised. There is now a separate entry point for helpers, to make it obvious to people who don't read docs, that it is separate functionality:

var helpers = require('simulacra/helpers')
var bindEvents = helpers.bindEvents
var animate = helpers.animate

There is no practical difference. It is just for those who read code but lack reading comprehension skills.
This would not be what is called undefined behavior per the C standard, but unspecified or implementation-defined behavior. The bad thing about "undefined behavior" is that the implementation is basically allowed to do whatever it wants, while unspecified and implementation-defined behavior still has sane semantics. Unspecified behavior allows the language implementation to choose any one from several possible implementations, implementation-defined behavior requires the language implementation to define the semantics itself.
Sure, but it's a lot easier to switch on a light than to turn your tent inside out.

My problem with them is that they don't offer the greatest benefit of electric: the simple drive train. No thousands of moving part kept moving by a handful of fluids and rubber pulleys all needing meticulous care. With the hybrid you get the best of both worlds in convenience and range but the worst in maintenance. Battery aging? Check. Expensive combustion engine service schedules? Check.
Recall these were never meant to live very long in the first place.

With the internal restructuring completed and the TCP/IP protocols integrated
with the prototype IPC facilities, several simple applications were created to
provide local users access to remote resources. These programs, rcp, rsh,
rlogin, and rwho were intended to be temporary tools that would eventually be
replaced by more reasonable facilities (hence the use of the distinguishing "r"
prefix). This system, called 4.1a, was first distributed in April 1982 for local
use; it was never intended that it would have wide circulation, though bootleg
copies of the system proliferated as sites grew impatient waiting for the 4.2
release.

I think this is related to monetization, since the web gets "louder" to attract advertising consumers. Most companies are actually advertising companies and the users are just part of the product (sold to advertisers). Maybe we need more paid services - and the will to pay.

I'm thinking about creating a hierarchical forum like the usenet, but I'm sceptical whether this would earn enough money to work in the long run.
Would trust this service, if I could read the source. I don't know what the plan with MeetFranz is, but since it isn't open source, something tells me that there at some point will be monetization involved. Monetization isn't bad, but it also will at some point cause misalignment between it and the users.
The Volt is a more practical competitor to the Model 3, which is part of why I dropped my model 3 reservation for a 2017.

Other reasons include a lackluster test drive of a Model S and my increasing skepticism of Tesla's practices as a company (aggressively selling cars before adding new features at a completely random cadence but claiming model years are unnecessary, promises like AP2 parity, QC failures at 20k cars over several months while also planning to make 20k cars a month, etc.)

But I digress, 40-50 mile range on EV only mode means most people can complete their commutes on EV only with a Volt. I charge at work and at home, so I can get 50 miles to work, 50 miles by lunch, and another 50 miles to go home.

A Volt specced out like mine has a Mobileye sensor for lane keeping assist, ACC, an interior not as needlessly spartan as the 3, 0-30 times slightly faster than last year's Model S 85, and a hatchback.

After driving the Volt I'm really saddened that GM won't push the Volt more. Not a single Model 3 reservation I know wouldn't be better served by a Volt, but most of them had no idea about stuff like the improved 50 mile range. Some even write it off as a hybrid (which it technically is, but they think 1-2 mile range, not 50)
Installing/laying out a football field of modules sounds rather tricky, as does keeping them clean (mars is dusty and windy).

I assume the nuclear reactor would be a pretty much "sealed unit" which just needs to get rid of a lot of heat. There is no reliable water/evaporative cooling on mars, nor is the atmosphere thick enough for fans etc. to be effective. Instead it will need huge thermally emissive panels. For them to be effective, they need to be very hot.
How's the reliability on the new Autopilot these days? Last I heard it still didn't inspire much faith but I know they've been pumping out updates.
Yeah, it's actually way simpler than that since chrome (and I think Firefox now too) is exposing a API for driving the browser, what you're after is the remote debugging protocol: https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/

But, you have bunch of things that abstract that for you, so you don't have to implement things hitting that API manually. Anyways, here is a handy document from Mozilla on the protocol too: http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/devtools/docs/ba...
