Some think anything can be open sourced but that does not work in the current world where we live. For an obvious example SpaceX could not have been an open source project.

I suppose the general notion is that the only problem publishers solve is the distribution which is kinda non-value-adding nowadays, but don't think about the editorial process, which needs actual work.

Sure, I think you guys add value. My critique was towards the cost of old papers and the ownership which journals take for published work. You guys need to get paid but the world also needs it's open access to the scientific corpus.

The papers which have very little value adding editorial input do have a harder time legitimizing their slice of the pie, though.

Even if you know which job you want more, try to use other offers as leverage to get better salary/equity/bonus/etc. The best situation for you is where the employers get into a bidding war. Once you pick one, just politely say that you've accepted a job elsewhere, and thank them for their offer. Reasonable people won't be offended.
I have no idea how hackernews always reads my mind about this kind of things but I started thinking about this topic due to a personal interest a few days ago.

And my question is. Can the ultrasound probe be made of off-the shelf parts. I think I understand why it's not possible with electromagnetic parts alone (kind of a speaker) they just can't vibrate fast enough to reach the Mhz frequency range.

But would it be possible to use a regular crystal oscillator they should be cheap, can easily be found for Mhz frequencies and are basically the same technology as the PZTs used in ultrasound probes. Just remove the casing and excite them, would that work?
In NL you can deliver your package to a drop off point near your house. Usually these are supermarkets or other kind of shops. I always pick my local supermarket which is anyway on my way home. It is open until 22.00 on working days so no issues there.

It is not like this Amazon box but it does also not have the other things to worry about (packages arriving on holidays and costs surcharged thereafter). The shops get a little extra earnings and they handle sending back etc. When not picked up. The service is free of charge for customers.

I guess Amazon box would be a tad more convenient to go to as they are at your doorstep (every single house is their intention, didn't get the site really?) but to be honest, you are visiting your supermarkets anyway. At least in NL where they are close. US might be a bit different here due to distance? Though you can do other shops as well, and usually there is one within say 1-2km.
Two techniques that have helped me:

1. Diagrams that help visualize what's happening. I prefer a hybrid of sequence, timeline and activity diagrams. I don't have a ready example at hand, but [1] comes close to what I use. YMMV though - I know some team members in my past jobs preferred state transitions to these, because they found them clearer to think through.

2. A technique we used during team reviews was borrowed from the book "Debugging Applications" by John Robbins [2]. Although the book was about debugging Windows applications, it had good tips on general software engineering and debugging, and I still recommend it now. One technique in it was the multithread simulation review - an excerpt:

The trick is to assign one person to each thread in your code and one person to each synchronization object. When you review the code, pretend that each thread is running at realtime priority on its own dedicated CPU. Each "thread person" walks through the code paying attention only to the particular code that his thread is supposed to be executing. When the "thread person" is ready to acquire a synchronization object, the "object person" literally moves behind the "thread person." When the "thread person" releases a synchronization object, the "object person" goes to a neutral corner of the room. In addition to the thread and object representatives, you should have some developers who are monitoring the overall thread activity so that they can assess the program's flow and help determine the points at which different threads deadlock.

Obviously, you need a number of like-minded and enthusiastic team members to carry it off.

> Theres a very strong tension between true beliefs and beliefs that help people/societies survive.

There is, but I think it's not about the truth value - it's about complexity. The society doesn't need to be told lies; it's just that the raw truth seems beyond what most people can handle.

Maybe it is solvable through education. A big reason why I see people having trouble with reality is that they were never taught to think in systems, and instead try to blame someone.
I noticed that this write up is old (2014), so most of the designs shown won't work in the base game anymore. That's good, because why should you be able to launch what looks like a wedding cake?

I've been playing this game regularly for 3 years now. It has a vibrant modding community, and recently some of the more popular gameplay mods have made their way into the core game (mainly more realistic aerodynamics, resource mining, my favorite, "deadly reentry"). It's basically a SimCity game, but with rockets.

The one downside is that while it's a lot of fun at the beginning, it gets kind of monotonous at the end (if you can call it an end). Flying crew to and from Duna is hard. I've never done it. Even just sending a probe is hard to hit it.
It's not about being "consequence proof", because as you note, it's never possible to avoid the consequences of one's actions. It's just about being independent.

An independent person does not need the goodwill or approval of any other person or small group for their well-being or prosperity. If you are ever going to need a paycheck again, this is by definition not you.

Independence ("fuck you money") is about being able to be honest with anyone, even if it means giving a measured, well-deserved "fuck you", without having to worry that your ability to feed and clothe your kids will be jeopardized. It's not about being above the law or anything like that.
> Facebook is not the problem, users are. Back in the day most users would not even share their name on the internet and now most people are doing the complete opposite: They share way to much without thinking about what can happen.

Facebook is indeed a major part of the problem which you just described. They hold a 'real name' policy, and have well-crafted call to actions which pressure people into feeling obliged to share information. The entire service is designed to mine data from you, which is a bonus for a stalker.

Though I don't feel your suggestions - 'just removing or never adding them in the first place' - is a bit moot when the author has described exactly why the person is on their list..

The cool thing is when you scan in with an IC card, the lobby door will notify you of the package. That same IC card also lets me unlock my door and open the delivery locker. There's also a panel in my room which lights up when a package is sitting in the locker for me.
Wine is an emulator, hence the name. (WINdows Emulator) By transcoding I am referring to rendering the flash content in a completely new medium. For example videos could be rendered using the existing closed source implementation into an open source video codec/format. For the interactive flash content, the content creators have the option of porting it to another platform to preserve the idea. Adobe even provides a tool to assist with this (https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/how-to/convert-flash-ads-to-...) Finally transcoding would recompile the framework into another framework. Think of this as converting Flash/Actionscript into HTML5 Canvas/Javascript.
I'm 34, married, have a toddler, and have definitely stopped hopping (used to be at a gig no more than 2-3 years each).

Kerbal Space Follies
If the module has no code from the Linux kernel, then how can it be said to derive from it? Well, some would say that a distribution that includes both is deriving one or the other from.. the other, since in the end both will be loaded in one "process". I think that's too much of a stretch, though ultimately that would have to be decided by the courts, naturally. Or maybe it's a strawman -- I really don't understand the arguments that Canonical is violating the GPL here.

I think it erodes it very much. And while "by their actions a lot of modern-day CEOs and politicians could be described as incompetent and/or at least malicious if not outright evil", I also learned that a lot of times, it's the media that give this perception by misrepresenting their actions/motivations to people.

And as for institutions, it's fun to laugh at them while living in a world almost fully conditioned on the ongoing competence of those institutions.

Writer David Brin talks a lot about this in his article, "Our Favorite Cliché: A World Filled With Idiots", which I'll strongly recommend here.

For what it's worth, I just went back to an earlier version (10240) of win32kbase.sys, and the search is indeed a lot simpler...it's essentially a flat linear table search (to be clear, it's still iterating through every GDI object), much friendlier to the CPU than the structure traversing that happens now. Could very well be the culprit.
Something like this ?

StarCraft Remastered and Age of Empires: Definitive Edition, wow. Feast for classic game players. I played both when they were released, I prefer StarCraft due to its perfect gameplay (multiplayer), competitiveness/balance, it's the real king of RTS. However, Age of Empires is also great with different flavours.

BTW: I've already pre-purchased StarCraft Remastered and can't wait to see it released on 14 August ;-)

Yeah I found the valuation mildly depressing for similar contexts.. considering the total value of spaceX is less than half of the proposed ~increase~ to annual US military expenditure this year.

We could afford 2 fully-blown spaceX per year just by maintaining our present disproportionately large military rather than expanding it by roughly a Great Britain this year.

Agreed. In my current game, I built a station that's in about 100 km orbit of Kerbin, and I've been using Apollo style CSMs and LEMs for munar and minmur missions, but I honestly hate the ships. They have often don't have quite enough fuel for the return trip, so I ended up having to put a tanker out in minmur orbit. It sucks. I've tried to redesign them, but I'm kinda of in a local maximum in designs right now, which kinda sucks.

Okay, I have shared at least one of those problems (the backup camera taking over, although I think I can just close out of it on my VW). I also get a weird intermittent problem where my phone will freak out and my car will stop recognizing it for a day. Not really sure what component is at fault there (phone, AA, or car).

I also have the Wi-Fi problem. I'm not sure why AA doesn't automatically just turn it off when it starts. I've been meaning to create a Tasker profile to do that for me.
Very cool! Game rigid body engines (to my knowledge) usually use symplectic Euler (v^{n+1} = v^n + h M^{-1} F^n, q^{n+1} = q^n + h v^n) with a Moreau/Stewart-Trinkle velocity level discretization of non-penetration constraint (effectively impulses), usually lobbing off the quadratic velocity term (so no precession). These constraints are typically solved in a (projected) Gauss-Seidel fashion to horribly loose tolerances, with liberal post-stabilization thrown in. Outside of rigid bodies, for the most part in games, these days, you don't get 'simulations' that can be derived from a variational principle, but that are instead constraint satisfaction problems with some notion of momentum hacked in the side (see 'Position Based Dynamics', 'Shape Matching').

The movie folks have larger compute time budgets, and I've seen various geometric integrators used there. I know of at least one studio that uses implicit midpoint for thin shell simulation. The Cal-Tech influence has wormed its way into the graphics research world, at least, and you see some papers pop up there frequently looking at geometric integrators. This Danish guy (I'm forgetting his name) at Disney publishes papers every now and then on the topic.
Have you ever actually been to China? The great firewall acts as a blacklist, not a whitelist. If you don't publicly announce the server you are going to use, you'll be able to access it. If the traffic pattern looks suspicious, you might have to deal with randomly dropped connections or throttling, but with the right internet provider or one of the working VPNs, those aren't an issue either.

If it comes to the point where the police gets involved, no level of crypto is going to help you anyway. You'd better try to contact your country's embassy so they can get you out.
Bonjour JNeal,
Thank you for your kind response. I don't even think it's a company wide problem, I'm certain the misogynist director is influencing every one in this department. I think my colleagues will be more careful in the future, and I will definitely go to the director's boss but I prefer to do it in 2 weeks, when my contract is done.
Have a great evening!
I'm not sure this is true. It's certainly possible to construct an API/ABI such that one could build the glue, or even dispense with it, without having to use any part of ZFS or the kernel to build the other or the glue. I'm not saying that's been done. But it could be done. Indeed, that's what FUSE is, for example, and that's what NDIS does, for another.

To determine whether there is glue here that violates the GPL would require looking at the particulars. Said glue might be licensed under the GPL, and might export the sorts of interfaces that Illumos does, thus allowing the ZFS module to link without reference to either the glue or the kernel! Then how could such glue be said to violate the GPL? It couldn't! Nor could ZFS be said to be violating the GPL in that case.

I don't think you can avoid an escape hatch for the GPL in the kernel without disallowing dynamic loading or modifying the GPL to have harsher terms. But recall that the GPL, and/or much software distributed under the GPL, is designed to have escape hatches: so you can run proprietary software using standard interfaces, for example (i.e., user-land code is not required to be GPLed just because it runs on a GPLed kernel, though a kernel could require it, it's just that _Linux_ doesn't).

It seems here you can't have your cake and eat it too.
+1 for the bus/rail systems. They also recently upgraded the bike lanes downtown and added some fancy bike lanes in several neighborhoods. I'm hoping over the next few years they expand the light rail through the other neighborhoods.
This used to be acceptable in many smaller places, even ones with women because it was a much harder burn coming from them. These days you have to just go to work and avoided any sort of socializing or non-work related discussion, keep work life and social life completely segregated and hope that's enough (it isn't always). This is the world political correctness (or professionalism if you prefer) has created.

Best to avoid eye contact too, someone could misinterpret that as flirting.

Those people would be considered bad with money. You can definitely have way better quality of life in San Francisco and 110k total comp is kind of on the low side (at that point you would probably be making 60k in Toronto though).
Intel worked very hard to earn this. For the last decade, they basically did nothing, it was so bad to the extent that you can dig out a 10-years old Q6600 then get yourself a decent nvidia video card and still hit 60fps on average on latest triple-A game titles.

Re. some of those: Seattle also has the highest water bills in the nation (http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/rain-soaked-se...)
A snippet from the paper that made me understand what this is about:

// $ is the reflection operator and T is a type.
constexpr { // execute this at compile time
for... (auto m : $T.variables()) // examine each member variable m in T
if (m.name() == “xyzzy”) // if there is one with name “xyzzy”
-> { int plugh; } // then inject also an int named “plugh”
}

This would inject "int plugh;" in the scope surrounding the constexpr block.
Gattica didn't have many large generations of engineered children. The movie happened during a transitionary period.
Imagine a kernel module which provides a bridge between an external (possibly standard, for some value of standard) API/ABI on one side, and the Linux kernel's internal interfaces on the other. Such a module might derive from the kernel depending on whether those internal interfaces can be copyrighted (and, do we want it to be the case that all interfaces can be copyrighted and licensed restrictively?! probably not), in which case it would have to be distributed under the terms of the GPL. But other modules using that external API/ABI certainly could not be said to be derived from the kernel, full stop.

This then requires looking for a way in which the GPL prevents creating such adaptor modules. I don't see how it does. Perhaps it could if modified, but as it is I don't think it does. IANAL though.

Most kinks of space travel were worked out in the '60s and spacex is pushing for reliability specifically, not for payload capacity - coincidentally that's where they're pushing the envelope and getting most of the failures.
