Realizing you don't need an excuse to do what you like doing.

Taking a moment to relax and gaze at the stars or enjoy a coffee on your own just sitting there lost in thought is as good an activity as having a smoke.
I really don't see people judging other people for it.

Or if you're actually looking for an activity not an excuse, just thinking about a interesting topic/problem and writing down the thoughts going through your head on your phone (or even better onto a piece of paper/notepad, no interruptions) can be an very satisfying activity I found out.

Really helps me to focus on whatever I'm thinking about too.
Have you tried drm-next? https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics

It's an update of the graphics stack to match modern Linux. Apparently amdgpu leaks memory, but radeonkms might work fine.
False accusations are the ones proven to be false; and not every single one that couldn't be confirmed by court or by a jury.
This statement is incorrect, if posed in the general form, as a distinction needs to be made between cultures where public transport is core (eg. some parts of Europe), or individual transport is (eg. some parts of USA).

I don't doubt that in the latter it's hard to live without a car, but in the former, you can definitely live without it, and use other means for the exceptional cases.
Approximately half the internet exists because of the lack of IPv6.

A partial list:

* Streaming music - because you can't connect to your music collection at home

* drop box - because neither you or the person you shared with can direct connect

* power/solar monitoring - cloud service because you can't connect to your system

* IoT/Dropcams/Nest thermostats - require cloud services... because your phone/tablet/desktop can't connect to your clients automatically

* security services, garage door control, smart home - another cloud service because you can't monitor/control directly.

* netflix - can't connect to your home plex

* skype (after they ditched p2p), google hangouts etc - requires cloud because the clients can't connect to each other

* pretty much every chat client - central servers because you can't direct connect.
so the minority of users, seeing as 2/3rd of the population don't live in a Urban and suburban area.

I live in a Rural area in the UK, i have a 20 mile commute to work, and its 6 miles to the nearest city. There is 2 bus services that run though the "town" I live in both run one an hour and take about about an hour to to get anywhere useful.

I would be unable to work, and get around without a car, I live where i do because it was one of the few places i could afforded to buy a house in the area that I live, that was also close enough to where i work.

If they want to get rid of fossil fuel cars, then by 2040 they need to have far longer range than they do now. To me that seems to be far more important than public transport.

Weird title, it should be, we asked a programmer to write a prediction program and this is what he came up with.
I made no such generalisation, merely stating my own situation.
The quoted text specifically refers to this being the result of a 5% monthly chance recurring over 12-months, i.e. it was a pretty unambiguous appeal to mathematics.

Whether or not it is reasonable to compound such a messy probability is a whole other question, but the fact the training material could not do so correctly (on apparently its own terms) does not speak with great confidence for the practitioners trained upon it.
Thanks. Sounds pretty hard if you're not a networking expert, and just have a cable modem plus wifi box. There's definitely a space for an easy to install solution here. Raspberry Pi based perhaps?
As wrote above, it depends on the culture.

I can tell you for certain that kids and ikea can be handled, and are handled, without the need for a car, where the culture supports it.

Plumbers and tradespeople (and who else) are a small part of the population. That is not representative, especially considering that nobody's talking about banning cars completely.

I don't doubt that in a city without good public transport and bike support the activies above are practically impossible.

Ultimately, it depends on the direction a given culture wants to point to.

sure you can rent a car but then you are talking £££

Owning a car costs, and not little. So very general statement like this don't make much sense.
How much is postage in Sweden? If that was implemented and postage is cheap, I can think of some very cost effective practical jokes.

If I'm reading Pica correctly, it seems like you two are talking about different things: Pica is referring to the scaffolding of values (social norms including high trust) and practice (proving services to community members) that 'rural/low income' communities value, and which invisibly support the modern economy on the local scale. Tullius seems to be referring to the economic and technological goods provided by the modern marketplace, which do indeed subsidize rural areas.

I don't think the rural zones actually worship the free market, and that is part of the problem they have communicating their values to the economically successful, who tend to prefer arguments couched in terms of economic benefits rather than the vague social goods (low social friction, multiple status hierarchies, respect for religion, etc.) desired by the rural/traditional communities.
> That seems to work for the banking system, where any malicious transactions are easily "reversed" (often just reversed on one side actually, 'paid for' by insurance / banks) and a large amount of auditing which makes it possible to clamp down on the bad actors quickly.

I work for a bank on blockchain projects. It's almost never this simple. You'd be suprised how much banking is paper based right now for the simple reason that no party wants a central solution controlled by any other party.
> The mac circumvented the issue because it sends out information of all previous networks ... I'd rather not want my laptop to push out all of my recent networks' information to anybody

It's some information about the last few _wired_ networks you've connected to, to any of those networks, that the owners of those networks already have. If you have a wifi you already know which network you're on, and there's no sense in asking about addresses you haven't seen with that SSID+key.

There certainly appears to be a privacy issue if you're connecting to a lot of public ethernets and those sites (can) collude, however if those sites can and do work together, they can unmask you anyway.

If they don't yet collude (but are willing) and you don't use random MAC addresses, then there may be another privacy issue where they can use the MAC address you leak to discover each-other, but I'm unconvinced even Google has the resources to do this.
Just a note for anyone else who's interested. The site is platformio.org, not platform.io.
Care to elaborate on your experience? What project is yours? Also: what do you think it takes to get a project accepted?
I don't know why you're downvoted, this is literally the first thing we were told about the internet - don't put your real name online. Today you kind of have to, for most things, but generally you should try to minimise the stuff you post attached to your real name as much as possible.
What’s the Difference Between IEEE 802.11ah and 802.11af in the IoT?
Yep. Their corporate logo is in Papyrus. There have been complaints.
The discussion is not about caring and supporting the kids. The parents' best intention is not questioned but rather the method on how to apply the best intentions on their children.

As I was born in a conservative background and I found my way out in a long journey in a totally different country, I agree that people with the conservative background regardless of any country have a tendency to see the education, tech, big cities or most of the new things as poisonous to their core values. So that, they are trying to hinder their children to have access to these just because they love them and care them. They just want their kids to be happy and stay in the family as themselves who were kept by their parents.

In my opinion, this is not a new thing. This has been going for a very long time throughout the history. I understand that the change is scary from the conservative point of view. This is why; I try to not to judge anyone. But, I just see it as a puny fight against the windmill in the long run.
Trust is not always so black and white (as on the open internet where anonymous people try to scam each other), in a lot of business cases there are different levels of trust which needs to be handled in a different way.
Data Science Digest. ISSUE #8
Our home network has 6+ Apple devices and a pile of other stuff (Smart TVs, DVRs, game consoles, media converters, etc) and it has zero problems whatsoever. Our router is some generic thing by NEC that I bought off the shelf at a big-box retailer because it had the biggest numbers on the box.
As both a petrolhead and a UK resident, I do think this is moving in the right direction. The internal-combustion engine has had its day. Electric and alternative-fuel vehicles are rising in efficiency and range, and it's becoming much more practical to ditch fossil fuels. The number of scandals that have come to light over increasingly tight emissions regulations shows that there is no future in burning fuel. Hopefully the price of electric cars will continue to fall as battery technology improves, although we do still need to address the problem of emissions from manufacturing the batteries in the first place and emissions from generating electricity to charge them. Also, hopefully 2040 is a hard deadline, and car makers will retire the ICE before that point.

That said, I hope the use of older cars won't be outright banned. Even though electric cars are becoming much better performers with improving technology, you cannot beat the roar and power curve of a combustion engine around a track or twisty road. Hopefully they'll go like horses - electric cars will take over point to point transport, while ICE-powered vehicles will be for recreation.

Elsewhere, while this is a good start, I think we seriously need to rein in the emissions of EVERYTHING that burns fossil fuels. Power plants are already under scrutiny, but shipping is not - it's becoming increasingly clearer that container ships, which burn low-quality heavy oil in international waters, contribute vastly more to air pollution than a large number of cars.
On top of that, the poster might be a straight woman, or a gay man, or whatever and just not into women at all.
Poor people? I don't think that demographic is being discussed. They're not poor, they're assholes. That's the common thread.

It is exceedingly hard understand their point of view, because their point of view is inconsistent and their beliefs are phantasmagoric. Derision against this kind of willful ignorance is the minimum.
I've done all of these.

Coffee - it consistently works, more so if combined with L-Theanine.

Meditation - doesn't help. I've tried headspace, TM, many of the apps. Part of the problem is that it does chill me out, which makes me unproductive. The main benefit is after meetings, where I usually get pissed with coworkers.

Exercise/walks - it feels good, makes me think better, but the data shows no change in productivity. I've been doing med-high intensity exercise for nearly a year.

The list - really the only one that works. The only real problem is when something in the schedule forces me off. I've been modifying it heavily this last week. It's full of if-else statements now, lol. I might just end up putting it in an app to command me what to do, based on the daily situation.
Thank you.

Yes, apologies for building too many assumptions; I guess this is a bit of a hot-trigger issue for me. I've seen people genuinely believe that if one makes life sufficiently difficult for the homeless, they'll just go away. In London this has lead to appalling incidents like [1]. I thought that was where you were coming; I see now that it wasn't. Sorry again!

In any case, I haven't got time to discuss this either -- gotta get back to work!

1) ISPs are increasingly deploying Carrier Grade NAT, which puts several people behind a single IP. This completely breaks end-to-end as you can't port forward

Carrier grade NAT breaks a lot of things in subtle ways. E.g. our ISP does DS-Lite to encapsulate IPv4 in IPv6. For months, our internet connection would sometimes seem dead for a couple of minutes. The router was fine and had uplink.

At some point I figured out that it often happened after a device woke from sleep and that IPv6 continued to work fine. It turns out that Bittorrent Sync was culprit. When a device woke up, BTSync syncs any changes and opens a boatload of connections through different ports. Apparently, the ISP's carrier grade NAT has some QoS where it starts dropping connections if too many ports are opened at the same time.

We shut down BTSync on all devices and never encountered the problem again [1].

At the time Bittorrent Inc. and later Resilio did not really seem interested to add IPv6 support.

[1] Of course, another theory is that they intentionally throttle Bittorrent traffic, but that doesn't explain why no IPv4 connections could be made while IPv6 worked fine.
very cool to see ImGui used in webgl!
> As you mention in your other post it really is the "billion dollar mistake", it's obvious to me in hindsight that they should have made IPv6 completely backwards compatible with IPv4, no matter the cost.

It's not a matter of cost, it's simply impossible.

IPv4 has a 32 bit field for the source address and a 32 bit field for the destination address, and every connection over IP needs to send packets back and forth between the two addresses. As soon as one party has a longer address, the other party has to know how to handle that, otherwise, they cannot possibly communicate.

The only point where compatibility would be possible to some degree is the network, but (a) that compatibility is in effect a tunnel, and there are lots of ways to tunnel IPv6 over IPv4 just fine, and (b) most of the global internet supports IPv6 just fine, and has been for a long time. The problem is the migration of the endpoints, not so much the network.

How is that not sexual harassment? (Full stop).
An experienced architect will always do this. Often the most risky subproblem is the one that is least understood (unknown unknowns), which needs to be investigated, even if it turns out not to be a great risk.
In agile-speak this is called 'spike solution'.
Also see lean architecture methods, such as:

- 'Just Enough Software Architecture', by George Fairbanks.

- 'Risk and Cost Driven Architecture', by Eltjo Poort.

It's true, but if you look at the list of badges, the point above some of them being, in a way, "out of context", makes sense (I don't say it's right in a strict sense; just that it makes sense).

I don't have knowledge of the existing badges though. Certainly, Financial Literacy doesn't sound very outdoors-y :-)
from the catboost page there's also a link to this:

> While gradient boosting algorithms are the workhorse of modern industrial machine learning and data science, all current implementations are susceptible to a non-trivial but damaging form of label leakage.

Yes I did, sorry... getting confused with this and Flash ;)
Thanks ! I'll read through that this evening
Speaking of writing, Tim Ferriss's Tools of Titans interviews writers heavily. A very consistent pattern is that they do work late at night or morning and often with some kind of music repetitively running or meditation.

A lot of them also procrastinate heavily, some even making it a routine to procrastinate half the day, feel guilty, then use the guilt to channel energy into their work.

Learning this made me question my disciplined attempts and wonder whether it's really possible to be productive without binging. It doesn't help that YC programmers are notorious for working really hard for really long hours.

The cost of some of the new badges is also a great concern.

Could you elaborate more on this? I'm curious, since I was a scout in a different context (time and culture wise).
iBeacon App Development
1. This is essentially the same as the T Charge which comes into effect in October this year. Diesel taxis are exempt, which is a shame seeing as they are very high polluters, and also drive around all day long.

2. That would be nice, but 2020 is too soon to be realistic. Unless some of the newer busses have options to operate solely under battery with some modifications.

3. Gov. should absolutely invest in infrastructure.

4. Yes, this. It would be seen as favouring the rich, but there should be an exemption for petrol powered performance cars. Some of the finest examples of human engineering are found in supercars and it would be a shame for them to die out. Tesla is obviously a great example of an electric sports car, but there's something to be said for petrol sports cars. Of course, if all the car companies are working electric mass market cars, they'd probably stop working on petrol high end vehicles anyway.
Ask HN: Matching lists of objects?
Recently ran into a problem where I needed to match patterns in a list of objects. For example, if I have weather data for a location, maybe I want to find sequences of days like "hot, wet*, hot". I've had trouble finding other instances of people doing this though - is there a general name for this?

I found refo, "Regexes for Objects", which is just what I had in mind, but it's not exactly lively:

I believe OMeta is supposed to be able to handle this but it's also pretty unmaintained.
Proof of existence is a major problem at the moment. Everyone around me (at an EU bank) wants to do this on bitcoin or ethereum main net, but right now banks are not allowed to touch these networks from the regulators (from a "miners are service providers, they need to be KYCed" perspective).

DSP works better at a higher sample rates, for obvious reasons, so in a music studio higher is better. Music software will often apply 4x or more oversampling when run at 44.1k which is degrading in the time domain even if the result is better than no oversampling, so recording at high rates avoids that.

Using it as a consumer is pointless, you cant hear those frequencies at all. Adults typically cant even hear up to nyqust at 44.1k. If youre a big music fan youve probably ruined your ears so good luck hearing anything above like 15k tbh.

16 bit was a compromise to do with wanting to keep CDs from being the size of dinner plates, 24 bit is legitimately better, but you're not going to notice with typical music.
Really nice looking app.

I installed it and the UI is absolutely amazing. Would love to make this my main music player.

I am having some issues though, the audio quality of the playback is suspect. I'm playing back an mp3 file and comparing it to cmus and iTunes play it fine, however musikcube has some weird audio artefacts (especially during heavy bass sections). I'm guessing(hoping?) it's some weird config, but this makes it unusable for me. I'm not an audiophile and I'm not being overly sensitive, there's some weird distortion that does not happen in cmus or iTunes.

>no one should ever have to worry about the consequences of reporting a crime

The rub is, they should have to worry about the consequences, if they're making a bad-faith false report. They should have to worry a lot, because they themselves are committing a wrong by reporting a false crime in such a way.

It's an incredibly hard problem, though.
> The software above the IP layer is still UDP, TCP, HTTP, SMTP

Yes, almost all of which has to be aware of which address family it's using in order to work.
Most ISPs who support IPv6 don't give you a single address, but a whole range (e.g. BT in the UK give you a /56). If you give your internal devices an address in this range it means they are globally routable (obviously you will setup a firewall so the router doesn't allow arbitrary connections from the internet). If you have any devices you want to access externally, it means you can access them directly without worrying about NAT/port forwarding.

Of course for most users it's going to make no difference at the moment, but for those who need it, it is useful.

This was already mentioned here but what's up with people thinking that ZFS is only for large storage arrays? You don't need anything more than a small SSD to get the benefits of snapshots, compression, and general ZFS reliability (copy on write — no data corruption ever, except for like hardware bugs). Boot Environments is an especially great snapshot-based feature.

> you cannot beat the roar and power curve of a combustion engine around a track or twisty road. Hopefully they'll go like horses - electric cars will take over point to point transport, while ICE-powered vehicles will be for recreation

This this this. I think electric cars are great and should replace all non-recreational modes of transport. However, they simply do not compare to the joy and involvement you get from ICE cars. The sound and torque curve is critical for the experience, as is the involvement from a manual transmission and three pedals. I hope that petrol cars will live on.
I'm absolutely fucking amazed BitTorrent Sync, recently created peer to peer software, didn't have IPv6 since day one? IPv6 just makes P2P easier and more reliable as there's no NAT anymore. Why wouldn't you want that?
don't think they gonna solve the range and recharge time issue by then. as someone that moved countries multiple times, that concerns me.
