Cool, glad you understood. The library returns an array of results, and will return an empty array if there are none. Try searching for "h" or "hey" for an example.
Whether it's the point or not, making the browser less capable is exactly what is happening.

There was a point about 7 or 8 years ago where Firefox was my favorite browser. It was the scrappy upstart that was better than IE in every single way - and look, plugins!

I had a decent plugin load, including a bunch of stuff not in the store, could skin the UI (anyone remember "Classic Compact"?) to shrink down the more annoying UI elements, use vim key bindings, and a bunch of other stuff I can't even remember anymore. I had to scroll two or three pages to list them all.

Slowly, they started taking that power away from me.

Slowly, the UI started becoming more obnoxious.

Slowly, the performance got worse and worse.

The moment Chrome got a decent ad blocker, I left and never looked back. Firefox is basically turning itself into a Chrome clone, with a side of user hostility and ancient bugs.

And they have only themselves to blame.
If you ask me I'd rather spend money to save a child killed by a car, financing self driving cars, than waste money trying to save people that don't want to be saved and that, even after being revived tens of times, continue to abuse drugs until their death, as per the other thread last week.
How to Create a Social Media Marketing Strategy – Buzzlogix
Here's ~5 years tango dancer @ HN :) From where I am now tango actually seems an unnatural choice for nerds. Of all the social dances tango is one of the most intimate in terms of personal space, which makes any nerd nervous and clumsy. On the other hand, it seems like one of the least physically demanding - check out Buenos-Aires 70+ grandpas on YouTube. I think it is a combination of two: crave for intimacy plus actual ability to imagine oneself as a hero of those videoclips, as opposed to fit and dexterous lads from swing and boogie-woogie, or half-naked machos from salsa, kizomba and bachata :)

There is also a point of general availability. When you check out your typical dance studio around the corner, there are salsa, hustle, swing and tango. Of those aforementioned tango seems most promising from romantic point of view.
More descriptive is Tokamak rather than ITER, since ITER is still going to have burning DT plasma in 2035 (at the earliest, according to article).

Also an introvert to some degree, and I've worked hard at overcoming this so I am indistinguishable from an extrovert. Working in front facing customer support, sales, marketing, management, fund raising ... yeah ... introvert is a bit harder for those things. So I had to adapt.

I've been working out at a gym for many years (semi-social, makes easy conversations possible with like minded people, though you have to worry about people with ear-buds whom don't want to be disturbed), karate (very social, good strong local friend group now ... go to dinner with them, go to events with them, all help each other).

I had in the past done various meetups (many years ago), to get conversations going.

I recommend getting a nice friendly dog; labrador breeds are great. I have a Chesapeake Bay retriever mix as as a rescue ... wonderful companion, and excellent conversation starter when I walk him. Very friendly, rarely barks ... he's a rescue, and had a terrible life before we adopted him.

The dog part is tremendously helpful BTW. When my wife and daughter are out, I can sit on my couch reading a book, and he'll hop up next to me for comfort. I'll talk to him, and happily, most of the time he doesn't answer ... though he knows enough words (treat, cheese, bone, walk, trot, outside, play), that I'm rarely really ever alone.
Yeah i have noticed this cold launch issue myself.
I was really confused by this. Cloud vendors are not bring-your-own-IP AFAIK, how can they even get a non-virtual static IP addresses on the cloud?
Ahhhh I was wondering why my desktop suddenly started opening links in Edge!
Maybe for the smaller cities it is different but I've stopped visiting /r/boston because every single thread someone brings up politics and it becomes a flamewar between left/right.
it was a stupid joke about the y combinator. you can arrange a version with more function arguments that'll call all of the parts with their lambda friends. so they can all call each other.

so something vaguely like

(define local-state)
(super-y
(lambda (inc get set v)
(set inc get set (+ 1(get inc get set v))))) ;this one is inc
(lambda (inc get set v) local-state) ;this one is get
(lambda (inc get set v) (set! local-state v)) ; this one is set

you don't really even need local state, just pass around an accumulator.

Once you have lambdas and a system that allows infinite types, mutual visibility is pretty easy to come by, mutual anonymous recursion is something i think is super nifty.

you can save yourself some pain by sticking the functions in a map, of course and passing that around instead.
"The feature is likely to allow publishers to create a paywall on Facebook's Instant Articles and guide readers to a publisher's home page to opt for a digital subscription"

All those changes you mentioned are trivial compared to completely reworking how human society has functioned for thousands of years.
There's a first time for everything. And things do change. I'd say we, collectively, have a better understanding of how self-government can work now, than we did in the past. Are we "there yet"? I don't know. But I know that what we're doing now isn't working so great.
>how do you run a society without trust?

You distribute trust and power among actors in a way that is secure and relatively equitable (compared to current power structures). Enter bitcoin and other more versatile cryptocurrencies like Etherium.

Cryptos may form the foundations of a healthier globalism and a new era for the human race, in that we will be less bound to and reliant on government as a separate, opaque power structure. However, there is a long way to go regarding development and adoption, and, let's be real, the overwhelming majority of private citizens may never understand the function or power of cryptos, while government entities will see it as the power threat that it is and may legislate it away while the populace remains ignorant.
Their base lost the popular vote, the MO of the modern GOP is rule by minority through any means necessary. Plus all they need to do to get their base to vote is induce moral panic about abortions or transgender people, which they're already pretty good at.
Whenever dealing with financial websites, I am always extremely suspicious of a website that does not have an EV certificate because of the added level of scruitiny applied to such certs. The number of mis-issued DV certs, and typos means that it would be relatively easy to enter banking credentials to a well-executed phishing site. It is going to be a lot harder to get an EV cert issued to paypa1.com with “PayPal, Inc. [US]” as the organization.

The only website that I regularly have anxiousness about entering my credentials on are Google properties. Since email can be used to reset pretty much anything, Google is one of the most important set of credentials to prevent falling into the wrong hands. Unfortunately they don’t seem to care about EV certs.

Additionally, app-based OAuth screens with web login prompts regularly give me pause. I don’t like not being able to see the URL and certificate information.
Yes, silicon implementation provide the JTAG, but it's very likely their implementation will not be reusable for FPGA project (including JTAG debug things) because of their over complicated (but powerfull) solutions which would consume way to much area and restrict the FMax.

Then this specific VexRiscv ecosystem also provide a basic SoC with an multi master AXI4 inteconnect, SDRAM controller, embedded ram, APB3 interconnect, some slave like GPIO, UART, Timer, VGA. It's not incredible, but it's already a starting point ^^

With these dice it's still possible you get the same song twice in a row, just less so.

A simpler system is picking a random song, but excluding the last 20 songs played.
> But it falls flat in a second, because broadband in US cities (which are very dense) still mostly sucks. No excuse for that.

The U.S. is unusual in making telecom construction and licensing a largely municipal issue, which subjects it to local NIMBY-ism. Philadelphia, D.C., New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, etc., have broadband that's quite competitive with Europe. They also tend to be places that are laissez faire in general about development in general. The Bay Area, in contrast, is anti-development about everything, apparently including broadband. There's a reason Google chose to build fiber in Atlanta, but not in its own back yard.
If you really understood addiction, you'd understand that this is like saying that you don't want to treat someone with cancer, since they seemingly insist on recurring time and time again even after chemo and radiation, continuing to have cancer until their death.

But, of course, you're not thinking of addition as a medical issue. You're treating it like a moral failure.
It's true, Recents showing Task instances isn't the same as the integrated tabs feature
That doesn't really fit with my experience. I was a heavy user of alcohol, cigarettes, and occasionally even tried cocaine. Quitting all of those had extremely minimal effects on me physically or mentally.

Getting off Kratom resulted in something like a flu that lasted 2-3 weeks. And I wasn't taking an especially high dose, and I had only been using for 3 months.
Eh, this is a rather poor argument, but it is one used by a majority of Americans, it seems, to justify some rather poor positions on welfare/social security. Its the same fallacy as using "welfare queens" to label everyone on welfare as someone abusing the system, whereas it has been shown that most people quickly get off it as soon as their circumstances improve.

So while there certainly will be people undeserving or who cannot be saved, a majority of "addicts" are more likely people who could be better with the right kind of therapy and social support.
To be fair, neither does Chrome. Not for the past year or so at least.
I have heard designer friends say that Firefox is the new IE for them: so many rendering problems that they always need to do special Firefox-specific workarounds.

Now the next remark tends to be that Chrome is pretty awful as well with very weird rendering errors happening all too often - for example HTML comments can shift paragraphs up or down (lots of fun with React inserting those everywhere), or toggling a class from JS making things disappear completely.

Safari seems to be a designer-favourite with a very strong focus on things designers need. I don't think I've heard any complaints about Edge either.
Key continuity gets you pretty far, though. Knowing I'm talking to the same paypal as I was yesterday is about as, if not more, comforting as having somebody else assert "this is paypal".
I think the self-driving plus electric cars will indeed change the transportation model by reducing the public transportation appeal. As the result the demand for more roads will only increase. Unfortunately, many politicians (as many generals) are fighting the previous war and building public transportation projects that will be abandoned even before completion (e.g. Brown's bullet train). Instead, we should be building more roads or may be more efficient roads (multilevel?) to acomodate the upcoming increase in traffic.
The people who viscerally hate (4) and (5) have little stakes in the economy, and will have less and less, to the point that their vote will be essentially meaningless.

You really can't think of any middle-ground between what we have now and anarchy/libertarianism?

How about just this as starters:
1. Legalize marijuana
2. End civil asset forfeiture
3. Stronger anti-trust on the internet and wireless spectrum
4. Improve the legal system to prevent civil cases from stifling free speech (perhaps by offering pro-bono lawyers to individuals sued by corporations for acts of speech only)
5. Work to end corporate influence over government.

It's not an all-or-nothing thing, we just need to decide what we care about, talk about it, and it will happen (but slowly).
That is tremendous, thanks for sharing. Congratulations to all the New Horizons folks! I look forward to our upcoming fly-by of the object that caused the occultation. With five different observations of the occultation I would imagine that they will be able to get some decent information on the size/shape of the object.
Internet and consequently, ISPs, should be a public utility. Like water and electricity.
You are arguing against common carrier status for ISPs on the basis that such regulation currently impedes economic incentives.

The example you've given is a highly successful cable channel from a different yet still heavily regulated industry. What does this have to do with common carrier status for ISPs?
I really don't think the author backed up their hypothesis here. I'd place a lot more of that blame on Mozilla's poor decision-making (detailed elsewhere in this thread) than any amount of google.com popups.

If I were to boil it all down, (and I say this with zero snark), I'd say that they have little to no differentiation with Chrome. It looks like Chrome, it will soon be no more powerful than Chrome, it's developed ignoring community input like Chrome, and the kiss of death: it performs worse than Chrome.

With all that in mind, why not just use Chrome like those popups suggest I should, and get a speed boost while I'm at it? (Note: open source politics do not factor into this)
A simpler (albeit quite deterministic) way of accomplishing this is to use an LFSR [1] or the CRC [2] of an incrementing counter. Such a sequence of values "looks random" under many measures but also has the probability that you will eventually get an even distribution of values (after the period of the counter).

ARM chips have been full SoCs for far longer than x86 chips have been. It took a while for Intel and AMD to integrate the memory controllers and PCI root complex onto the CPU rather than in the northbridge.

AKAIK, only the Versatile/RealView style boards that an SoC manufacturer would get directly from ARM come with bare ARM chips. Anything other than that is an SoC.
A simpler way that's guaranteed to not repeat a song till the entire set has been played is: Assuming you have N songs, pick a prime P such that N is not divisible by P. Then pick a random index I (0 <= I < N) to start from. The index of the next song is I' = MOD(I + P, N). This method has the advantage of being O(1) regardless of the size of the playlist.

Another method is to pick a random key K and sort the entries of the playlist based on HMAC(SONG, K) (where SONG is the name or other identifier of the song). This has a number of interesting properties. For starters the playlist will be randomized (that's good). It will also keep it's overall order if a new song is added. The new song will get inserted based upon its HMAC. You can switch things up a bit by having K be a based on the current date. That way new songs will maintain their order and jumping to a track on a given day will continue the chain as before, but day to day you won't always hear the same tracks back to back.
That's a very misleading usage of the colon (:) punctuation mark. Is it even correct to use it like that in english?
Yep it's nothing fancy. But I've yet to have seen it done before.
Kudos for the "I don't get it" section.
I agree to some extent. Many times when discussing these other societal issues we point to the levels of violence and conditions that affect one group proportional to other groups.

Young black males are disproportionately the victims of gun crime, pretty sure that is a well-known fact that I don't need to look up. I also believe the data is in on young white males disproportionately being the victims of opioid overdose [1].

Are opioids a white problem and guns a black problem? Or are both actually related to a different condition and it's actually a young male problem? What about if we looked at the socio-economic class of these people ignoring age, sex and race? Something common there?

I think that the focus on the racial/ethnic/sexual/gender makeup of the victims is less useful than some people want it to be.

If anything I'd say it's an economic and community issue, this Kutzgesat video goes into it somewhere [2]. If there were better community support systems for people of lower economic classes then I think we'd see far less overdose and gun crime.

One thing I will say though, and it is addressed in the first link somewhat, is the way drug enforcement is (and has been) conducted differently in different communities. That certainly exposes much of the systematic discrimination in drug enforcement which I do hold as almost as serious a problem as these deaths.

No, they're not.

I'm sure people argued the American economy would collapse without slave labor.

And America not being world police isn't a revolutionary change, we only started being world police in the last 70 years or so, and it's done more harm than good realistically.

I'm unclear what your defeatist motivation is, but it doesn't seem like you've actually sincerely thought this through.
Chip Gear-Maker ASML Sees 25% Revenue Growth This Year
back when I used Winamp as my daily player, I was getting annoyed that its "shuffle" kept playing the same songs. and it would play the same songs in a row. so I would hear the songs C,A,F play. then the next day again the sequence would be C,A,F. over time, I would start hearing the melody of the next song before it even started playing.

when I finally noticed this and realized that could only mean it's not actually random, I researched it, and found out that once you hit shuffle/random on Winamp, it shuffled the songs once and kept the sequence forever.

and then as it turned out, Winamp actually had a setting to select a truly random song each time. all I needed to cure my madness was a checkbox!
I can relate man. It's soul crushing and hard to accept you just have to not participate to protect your sanity.

And then there's also the gamblers wisdom: If the dice was facing a 6 for too many times in a row, look for another game.
I would kindly ask you to review how most opiate addicts in this current wave are created. Unfortunately, opiate medication is really the only 'easy' solution we have for many patients who have chronic, debilitating pain. I speak of patients suffering from malignancies, chronic back pain, post-traumatic injuries like motor vehicle collisions or workplace-related injuries. While there are novel attempts at cognitive behavioral therapy, setting patient expectations regarding pain and physical therapy, opiates are the mainstay of our (speaking as a resident physician) arsenal. Unfortunately, many of my colleagues prescribe ever higher doses of opiates without educating the patient on the reality and expectation of chronic pain. The patient continues to fill his/her prescription, until the point where he/she is taking heroic doses of opiates daily. At this point, many things can happen: the patient's legal provider is suddenly shocked at the amount of opiates given and stops, the patient transfers care/moves and is suddenly unable to obtain their original script, and voila - the once legal plain jane 45 year old female with chronic pain is suddenly forced to rely on the grey and black market, and since she can't obtain further legal prescriptions (because who's going to give Jane 20 oxycodone daily when seeing her for the first time), she's suddenly relying on sketchy mcsketchball who offers her illegal oxycodone... and you can imagine the downward spiral from there. So please, review how many of our opiate dependent abusers start, instead of focusing on the ugly finality of their early deaths.

In some competitive games like Dota and LoL, the random distribution for critical hits is weighted so that it ramps up over time, resetting after a successful crit.
(http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Random_distribution) This both reduces the chance of two high rolls coming up twice in a row as well as long periods of low rolls.

It doesn't have the "you are doing really well, and now you are due for a failure" since "not a critical" isn't really that negative of an outcome.

For something like D&D, the same kind of "better-than-random" distribution just comes from adding dice. 4d6 is much more consistent than 1d21+3.

A great PoC is fairly doable by an intern.

Increasing the precision by tenfold will likely increase the effort by a hundred fold or more. Just because it can be made harder and more expensive doesn't mean it has to be.

At the end of the day, a bit of precision doesn't change the nature of an effective planet scale mass surveillance system.

The thing about rolling 2D6, is the distribution isn't even.

I'm not sure that factors into the game (have played but its been a while). Cards seem like a more controlled way to distribute the results with some randomness.

only one way to get a 12 (6+6)
but 7 much more likely.. (6+1, 5+2, 4+3, 3+4, 2+5, 1+6)

as someone who played a bit of online backgammon back in the day, We always suspected the random dice rolls behaved differently in the game than playing in real life...
