I think the focus on skin color in the "white people" construct is apt and points to a very important truth. A certain type of American only consider you to be a 'real' American if you're white. And, not to only beat up on white people, lots of black Americans only consider you to be a real American if you're either black or white.

The focus on values really is horseshit, you can comfortably substitute "white intergenerational wealth" for that and get a much better fit for meaning.

Maybe the fact that the people in the EU parliament are not in the focus of the electoral people is a good thing, they will not put a big effort into the political "game", back at home the guys don't usually vote on topics on what they personal believe is best but have to vote on how the party decide is best for themselves to get a good score at the next elections.

I think you may be getting down voted because it is generally considered bad form to submit your own blog unless it is a "Show HN" but if the content is good it can out weight that and an article can be up voted anyway. But if you do submit your own content it is probably best to let the content speak for itself vs trying to solicit HN as a discussion forum.
The government has made pretty clear over the last few months that the reason for the ban was intelligence that jihadist groups had made progress towards developing a laptop bomb. It is pretty reasonable for them to withhold details in order to protect sources and intelligence-gathering techniques.
53 million over 3 years, or 17 million dollars a year over multiple sports. A far cry from "hundreds of millions of dollars"

And I'm pretty sure that advertising in sports is common sense. Advertising during daytime TV isn't likely to have the same bang for your buck.

With GCC and Clang, you should use -isystem<thirdparty/header/dir> instead of -I<thirdparty/header/dir> for these include directories. This will suppress warnings from these headers.

CMake also supports this through include_directories(SYSTEM …).

With MSVC you will have to fall back on macros.

The key as I understand it is a period of fasting [no eating] for 16 to 20 hours a day. Your saying would work because the last thing you eat would be around midday and you wouldn't eat again until morning.

I think that many people find it easier to extend their overnight fast by skipping breakfast rather than dinner in the evening. In the United States it is also true that breakfast tends to be more of a solitary meal and dinner more of a communal meal. So by skipping breakfast one is not as out of sync with family and friends who want to include you in dinner plans.
And I think people who make these kinds of ridiculous blanket statements are a joke.

The reason why that information is not disclosed is not because they don't want their citizens to know. They don't want others to know; that's when it would actually compromise the security.
The EU has 510 Million.
The EU already made mandatory 24 months warranty for all products sold in Europe.

I think this has been beneficial not only to European citizens but also to the US where there isn't a minimum warranty by default. Businesses who sell products on both sides of the Atlantic seem to have mirrored the imposed warranty of the EU in the US.

I am in favor of extending the minimum warranty.

PS: isn't there also some regulation that a business should provide pieces for repair for a period of 10 years? I seem to recall something like that.
Depends on the "cost" of that bug to the company.
It's viable, but only if you also adjust your diet. Burning 100kcal / day extra from being buff doesn't do much if you're also eating 100kcal / day extra.

Plus getting buff costs a lot of effort, it's easier to reduce intake.

But, besides weight loss, anyone should probably do both, especially if bound to a computer; back pain isn't primarily caused by obesity, but also due to under or overdevelopment of certain muscles, posture, movement or lack thereof, etc.

I suspect people assume propaganda is only propaganda if there's a centralized "Ministry of Truth" that (a) has one coherent message, (b) is controlled top-down from a central authority, and (c) has police authority to silence deviations from the playbook by force.

As with so much in Western capitalist democracy, America's style of propaganda doesn't fit that authoritarian rubric, but it ends up having similar effect. Major differences are (a) different departments of the US government are protecting their own interests; to the extent the message is "one coherent", it's the principles baked into the institutions, (b) control is decentralized (every department has its own PR budget), and (c) rather than coercion by force, it's coercion by incentive; if you want the opportunity to get your movie "super right" by having professional on-site advisors or access to authentic hardware, you play by the providers' game (and you do want that, because you believe your audience wants that).
Teach the tidyverse to beginners in R
I think this may be the latest in a long tradition of fake AI, dating back to the original Mechanical Turk (chess-playing automaton with a man inside).

There are a few recognizable madlibs-like patterns. For example: "Unleashing bad karma is a joke where the punchline is that you get very, very sick", and "Realizing the full potential of hell is a joke where the punchline is that you fake your own death". Occasionally the photos repeat as well.

But if they're all written using a fill-in-the-blanks format, there must be an enormous number of templates. Maybe they analyze thousands of famous quotes and randomly replace various parts of speech.

While InspiroBot may be AI-assisted, I suspect the quotes are largely human-written, or at least heavily curated. Maybe this is my anthropocentrism speaking, but most of them seem too good to be AI-written. They don't have that meandering pointlessness of most AI poetry.

For example, "The things we find beautiful are actually just thoughts circling a fire." Or, "Could it be that eternal particles are eternal particles because you're overthinking things?"

Or my favorite: "Science is just mother nature playing with herself."

(My modest contribution to the fake AI genre was a song-creation program called "Turd Polisher Pro", released on April Fool's Day, 2010. The web page included "before" and "after" sound files that demonstrated how the program can automatically turn a drunken voicemail message into a polished, commercial piece of music. Of course, the song was written first; the drunken voicemail recording reused some of the same phrases and themes.)

Not really, because as mentioned the entire system is the release. They don't release kernels on their own and the userland is upgraded in lockstep with the kernel with each release.

That said, they'd be the first to tell you that if their model doesn't suit your needs, you're free to use another OS. They build and support what they want. If you want something else, they'll ask you to get involved and do the work.

This is a serious thing. Please take a look at the whitepaper. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

> A reference to 'tokenized quantum signatures' (what the hell is that?)

We are basing our "cryptocurrency" on some of the ideas from the paper "Quantum Token Signature" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.09047) which is suitable for the kind of service we hope to offer. Tokenized quantum signatures allow for tokens to be used to sign messages just once. It requires an authority to keep track of the state of the token.

> New cryptocurrency without the crypto part and without the decentralized part

The idea is to build a platform for multi-signature applications without decentralization. If you take a look at the whitepaper, you may agree that the native currency is some kind of a cryptocurrency :-) .

> Basically its just contracts as a service with some token setup thrown in

Yes, its contract as a service platform and the token isn't just there for no reason. It is meant to fuel an economy of contract applications offering useful services.

Easily stream tweets through a Go channel
The main challenge is that a lot of people try and change too many habits at once - when new year comes around, lots of people go on a diet, go to the gym, etc.

But changing too much at once will only cause people to revert to old behaviours. Change one thing at a time. I started by weaning myself off of sugar in coffee, one step at a time. Stopping candy was easy, I never had a problem with that, the stuff makes my teeth hurt. And stopping friday/saturday/sunday snacking was relatively easy too once I was no longer living with my parents and it was just put on the table.

Current / most recent change is having a big salad for lunch at work, now that I've got a new assignment that has a big salad bar. Making it big is important; there's pretty much no nutritional value in the green stuff, and it helps me get through the afternoon without feeling hungry.
Software that is not expected to be in development for years probably doesn't need this. Get it working, manually tested, ship it and move on. This is probably cheaper than the extra engineering effort to make everything perfect. Most warnings are for things that won't matter since you won't port to that system (it doesn't matter if your invoke undefined behavior if the only compiler you use at your optimization level does what you want)

All of the above will come back to bite you hard if you have to release again. Some will come back to bite you right away (the expense of manually testing everything), while others can lurk hidden for years (little vs big endian issues).
>What are they afraid of?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_humiliation
I agree. This comes up a lot when discussion C/C++ - is it the compiler's fault, the developers, etc? The reality is it's irrelevant. Rust-the-language is safe but no one uses rust-the-language they use rustc. The end result is that it is possible to have memory unsafe rust code without unsafe blocks.

Rust developers should be aware of this - they're almost always incredibly trivial patterns to avoid, but only if you know about them.
> The brain is incredibly good at math.

I agree (though probably not in the sense you intended) - in fact, the human brain is the only thing we know of in the universe that can do math.

I do not hold the apparently widespread view that anything performing an action that can be modeled mathematically is doing mathematics, but it is clear by now the two sides on this issue are not going to reach an agreement.
Also, if you're talking Hollywood specifically:

To a first approximation, movies that cast the government in a positive light sell better, because Americans think of the government as a reflection of themselves and want to feel good. Exceptions exist, but you rarely hit blockbuster numbers with a downer movie with a downer ending.

Plus everything in Billion Dollar Bully.

It's fact at this point.
A few weeks ago I would have made the same statement but I started reading the PDF implementation docs and now I really like the format.

The main issue I think we all have with the format is that people make docs that are almost impossible to read on a small screen.

There are ways around this: 1. Tagged PDFs present the underlying content and semantics in order to reflow for accessibility purposes though right now very few people seems to use this feature and 2. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to make PDF pages closer to a paperback book rather than an A4 page with the resulting shorter line length and reduced margins.

PDF is indeed more complex than plain HTML with some cribbed CSS but in many ways it's a lot better: 1. It truly in portable in the sense that every computer will render it in exactly the same way, 2. It packages up all assets in an efficient manner (only the glyphs that are needed are included, not the entire font with all glyphs and position hints like web fonts), 3. The expensive layout computation is done once, on a computer in a galaxy far far away from my battery limited phone, and 4. PDFs are (by convention) free from all of the cacophony of crap like share buttons and navigation chrome and ads and articles-you-may-enjoy fluff.

The format itself is actually not that bad, it's a text format in that it's relatively easy to open up a text editor and bang one out. The only inconveniences are the places where you need to state exactly how long strings are (which your text editor can help with) and the creation of the index at the end (which I've been cheating by just running my hand created PDFs through a PDF lint-like utility.

The reason why most PDFs look crazy when opened up in a text editor is that the streams are almost always compressed. You can uncompress with them "qpdf --stream-data=uncompress in.pdf out.pdf"
Russian team plans to unfurl the brightest “star” in the night sky
> And I'm pretty sure that advertising in sports is common sense.

There are two sorts of advertising. One is recruitment ("join the army, blow shit up, have fun") targeted at potential employees.

The other is a broad-based effort to change public perception in the interests of the advertising organization. "Honor our troops" is an example of this, in the effort of sustaining the military-industrial complex (term coined by a 5 star general officer, FWIW).

Note that the commonplace perception of the US military through the 1970s was one bureaucratic incompetence that nevertheless got the job done (just look at Stars and Stripes even from WWII). Perhaps a necessary burden taken up and then discarded. We made fun of countries like Turkey who exalted their military at the expense of civilian culture.

Now the military, locked in endless remote warfare and sucking up huge chunks of the economy, is the most respected entity in the country.

(and note that the original word for what we call "advertising" was, in fact, "propaganda" -- propagating the message. The name took on some, umm, unsavory overtones and was replaced by "advertising". But remember Goebbels was Germany's minister of "advertising")
"While developing a new project is like rolling on a green field for you, maintaining it is a potential dark twisted nightmare for someone else."

There is nothing about this list of best practices that makes any applicable project more maintainable without understanding the practices being followed.

As long as these practices are well-known within the company and enforced over the lifecycle of code/product/project/etc., it will succeed. Without that understanding, this list eventually becomes untrusted.

Good on the folks at hive for following what appears to be solid practices in their JS projects.
The UK has: http://www.wired.co.uk/article/uk-laptop-ban-flights-explain...

The US and UK are obviously at higher risk of being targeted than most countries. We also don't know if the intelligence included information about the countries the jihadists intended to target.

Also, other governments may have come to different decisions about how to handle this risk. Some countries let a million people pour across their borders without identity checks, others don't. It may be surprising to some, but who and what you vote for matters.
Speaking of Bay specifically: Bay is very pro-military and goes out of his way to portray the US military in a positive light.
