This is the first time I've heard a claim that it wasn't good. Everyone that has tried it has apparently said it was awesome. How did you get a chance to try it?
That's a good example, thanks!

Reminds me of the Java binary search bug: https://research.googleblog.com/2006/06/extra-extra-read-all...

I think the correct code here would be something like:

for (j = i; j <= (max+1)/2; j = j*2)

Or something like that. Obviously that's rather awkward, with the risk of a sneaky off-by-one bug. (Edit to add: heh, just noticed I'm assuming max+1 won't overflow!) It would be great to have a C-like language that encourages safer code like that.

Thanks, I made a prototype a couple years back where the MSP430 was sufficient and I wanted to move it to llvm to solve my only toolchain annoyance.. But I have trouble seeing the point of investing time as ARM edges closer on the battery advantage..
I have had NFC rings and I have gone through a few of them because they break or fall apart, particularly when I would need them most.

Jython project's latest release and news post was mid-2015; the project would seem to be pining for the fjords, so to speak.

Jython and IronPython are both limited to Python 2.x, ZipPy is WIP without a stable release.
Kite Responds to the Minimap and Autocomplete Issues
I guess the point is if you own the machine, there is no reason to scale down, because you already paid the costs upfront. In conclusion cloud providers solve some of the problems they create in the first place very well ;)
> What would you recommend, a fine, perhaps a stern talking to by the authorities?

I already stated a fine is more than sufficient. Or do you think you should be jailed for speeding on the freeway too?

Proportionality in relation to the offense is a thing.
Even worst is all the extra female hormones coming from birth control pills and livestock (mostly milk cows) that are not getting filtered out of by water providers.
Ever ordered food in a deli or gone to a restaurant in the U.S.? They're re-heating your food in plastic containers, guaranteed.

Also: many people use "microwaveable" plastic containers/Tupperware in lieu of ceramic or glass, as it's cheaper and easier to store.
This suggests an environmental factor or a different dietary one.
Probably not BPA or such, there would be more of a difference between western countries. Plus Asia would show it too. (Heck, they make and use a lot of these plastics.) Not atmospheric pollution either apparently (see French result).

Electromagnetic wave pollution perhaps?
I'm about to hop after being at my current company for almost 3 years. I feel I've shown my ability to be a lead engineer, but there's no room in my department for a new lead. I've also expressed the desire to manage, but talks with my manager about this have dead-ended. We are getting a new manager in my team's chain, but I was told they would be coming from outside the company.

The sad part is our current lead is bad, really bad. He won't be moved or dismissed either. So despite leading several successful projects, I'll be stuck at senior. So, fuck it, I'm moving on.
we were a high tech broker. yes we did loads, but we could never figure out how to set good margins.
I'm glad that someone else said that. I really hated AS3 as a language and was really happy that the ECMAScript spec didn't take their ideas. Typescript does everything that AS3 could do, but does it in a way that is much more friendly to the JavaScript way.
In my experience these slow typists also tend to look at the keyboard while they are typing - not at the screen. Thereby completely negating the benefit for this group of people.

I guess that for the intersection of slow typists who look at the screen while typing, Instant Search is useful. But how big is this intersection really?

On top of that it's a constant perplexing hindrance for Luddites like myself who insist upon using the backspace key to navigate back a page, instead leaving me wondering why my search results page is refreshing instead.

I know, I know, it's my fault. But it's not.
C will always be around, unless we get rid of UNIX and POSIX compatibility layers.

Which given Microsoft's sudden love to stay relevant, means that we are at the edge of an UNIX monoculture.

So any improvement to make C safer is more than welcome.

My preference would be to have something like Frama-C be part of ANSI C.
I don't know shit about real estate, be it property taxes or zoning laws. From my dumb angle, I see it as metropolitan markets across the country going crazy because of the decade-long-or-so trend of people moving to cities. In simple terms, what are governments doing/not doing that is causing such ridiculous costs?
> because those are the only areas of the country seeing economic growth.

IPv6 port forwarding likely just means allowing incoming connections in IPv6 firewall. Exposing internal machines with IPv4 uses NAT and is called "port forwarding". IPv6 doesn't need NAT but people still call it "port forwarding".
Neat - I'm in the process of making a similar system which will spit out Spigot plugins, with the aim of letting kids create some simple ones themselves and hopefully planting the seed for getting them interested in programming. As part of this I included a 'split screen' view showing the generated Java in addition to the normal block work area, though this is read-only.

It's been more of a challenge than I thought it would be to design the blocks such that the end set isn't near enough a 1:1 mapping to Java - showing it to a non-technical friend of mine made it clear that my intuition was way off. Would be interested to hear how you approached this (if you don't mind).

Also interesting that I didn't find your website when I was initially researching, though I did come across https://www.learntomod.com/ (and even that was hard to find). I suspect my base search term of "minecraft blockly" isn't the most common one used by the target market to find something for their kids though.
Also you have to be careful not to store your Monero on something like Shapeshift as they can easily keep records and under some regulation I believe.
Don't forget the dietary recommendations changed telling people to eat loads of carbs and avoid fat (and as a side effect, most natural sources of protein). That might be directly related to this actually.
To be honest, I think that riding in fresh snow is actually the best kind of riding you can have, and sometimes have been taking a longer route to work or home just to increase the joy of it (in traffic free areas). I also have the feeling that I am actually safer on two wheels plus two feet than just walking in icy conditions although one obviously has to be a little more careful. The only bug nucance about winter is melting, then it really sucks and I trie to get the shortest, driest path possible.
I discovered early on that, at least in larger companies, advancement in a role is based on your strategic value to the company, and not even remotely related to your work ethic. If your manager is willing to go to bat for you, you stand a chance of getting a meaningful raise. And that depends on whether you can demonstrably make their job easier.

Working "hard" only serves to let you feel good about yourself.
To counter this 4 years later I still use mine every day. I have retrofitted everything in my life that once used metal keys to work with them.

Also 1024 bytes is plenty to store pretty useful things like encrypted deterministic seeds for private keys for things like cryptocurrency, ssh, etc.

Would do it again, and have more implants planned.
Trump announces ban on transgender people in U.S. military
Just wondering about the data collection, -- why isn't it strictly monotonic over time?

Edit: Answered my own question -- it looks like the data specify access daily, not what I assumed was overall adoption. This does present some interesting patterns, however. For instance, noting that there's a peak weekly on Friday and bottom out on Monday, one might be able to make a conclusion about workplace adoption versus home usage.
But what if it's the result of some inlining or simply macro expansion? It's a tough call to make.
>Cloudformation, to me at least, is the power to expand resources for large traffic events. Most of the time you can get by with a small amount of instances but its nice when it scales up to hundreds of instances in minutes.

This is not what CloudFormation does. CloudFormation allows a declarative way to express a group of AWS resources to be created and coupled together. There's nothing that's quite exactly the same as CloudFormation, but stock Kubernetes is quite close, since you effectively describe what resources you want in individual declarative YAML/JSON files. However, there's nothing standard in Kubernetes for coupling them together into one thing equivalent to a Stack in CloudFormation.
No offense, but you seem to be someone who is very into knives and is proud of that. Most of us aren't. So what's "very cheap" to you is well above the price point of many people.

I mean, a BMW may be a high quality car, but most people are going to just get a base model Toyota Corolla and they're just fine with that choice. I can buy a kit car that makes me supply my own engine and tires and exhaust and electrics and it will be custom fit to my exact needs, but for the Toyota Corolla owners, they want to buy a car that already has all of those things and can be driven off the lot.

I'm not criticizing your choices, you seem very knowledgable. I'm just trying to help you understand that when you say "a knife shouldn't come sharp from the factory" and "that $45 knife is the bottom of the lowest end", it makes you seem incredibly out of touch with how most people buy knives.

If I bought a knife that wasn't sharp, I would return it to the store and get a different one.
> There's a massive surplus in the Boston/Cambridge/Arlington market right now, thanks to cheap money (low interest rates on mortgages).

If that is the case, landlords are leaving money on the table.

> That's before considering the optional upgrades that people tend to do to owned houses that they don't do to rentals. (A functional kitchen in a rental is a functional kitchen. A functional kitchen in a house is a drive to install granite countertops, subway tile, and stainless steel appliances. Scratched wood floors and 5-year old beige paint are fine in a rental, etc.)

That is a separate issue, though I think someone who is not disciplined enough to avoid vanity upgrades to their property is probably not disciplined enough to maintain a significant investment balance either.

Edit:

Just took a quick look at Cambridge on realtor.com, and I would classify that as a textbook out-of-whack market. The rents are stupid low compared to the sale listing prices. In contrast, rents in my part of northern New Jersey are roughly the same, but sale prices are less than half. Hell, even Manhattan isn't that out-of-whack. I don't think you should be taking that as typical.
Launch HN: Piggy (YC S17) – Investment App for India
Hey HN! This is Nikhil here with Ankush and Kunal. We founded Piggy (https://piggy.co.in/), an investment app for Indians. Think of it as a mobile-first Vanguard for India. With Piggy you can invest in mutual funds, track your investment portfolio and save for retirement.

Historically, public sector employees vastly outnumbered private sector ones in India. Those public jobs came with pensions, so no one had to think about investing their own money. In 2016, for the first time, the private jobs overtook the public. People have to invest their own money now, and it's complicated and expensive. We built Piggy to help solve those problems.

This new Indian middle class is searching for good places to invest, which is why the mutual fund market is growing so quickly - assets grew by 40% in just the last year to $300B. Every one of these new investors has a smartphone, which is why Piggy is mobile first.

The app has quick online account setup, easy to use interface, built in user support (in app chat, email and call). Users can access all the fund houses in a single app. Transactions cost less than $10 a year and there are options for lowering that cost. The app charges a flat fee of 50 cents per buy transaction. We take no hidden commissions from asset management firms, unlike most services in India. Saved commissions mean higher returns for our users.

Ankush and I have fixed income analytics experience at an investment bank, and Kunal has worked with Amazon. When we started working, we got limited advice from our family on where to invest, mostly in traditional bank-based saving products with low returns. We also saw many of our friends fall prey to bad financial products. When we did learn about mutual funds, there was nothing out there that was easy to sign up and use, that didn’t charge a bomb or hidden commissions. We got together over many late night conversations and decided to build it ourselves.

We’d love to answer your questions about Piggy and love to discuss fintech in India and emerging markets!
Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I really liked instant. I remember turning in instant from the omnibox in chrome, too. It showed that Google was at least willing to innovate in the search space -- and for some of us, it was a huge positive to have.
That's about what I've decided, but all the freelance work I've seen available has been web development---the kind of thing I'm trying to escape. Freelancing for a systems programmer has a "I can't get there from here" problem, particularly since I'm crap-tastic at networking.
Not everyone does and there would be much higher variance if so. (Different building codes, food handling practices etc.)
Whether it is actually true is going to be entirely based on what you consider to be "a bit" of server load.

They had to return data for many search results on entry, in addition to suggested autocomplete. Now they just return suggested autocomplete. I'm sure everything in google instant is served from a cached cdn, but it's still going to be "some" server load that is removed.
One european bank I have account at uses security question, but it seems to be only used as additional layer of authentication when you make changes to your account settings (in person) and not for anything online.
If you think I'm arguing in favour of the status quo, you're greatly mistaken.
My least-favorite change is that the All/Image/Shopping/News buttons on the search page rearrange based on your choice of term. Static-looking features shouldn't shuffle themselves around based on my form inputs!

(It's worse because I've never wanted the Shopping button, ever, but it's bad design regardless.)
If the burden of proof is on the prosecution then, similarly, why isn't the burden on the victim to prove they were actually sexually harrassed? This isn't victim-BLAMING. This is simply an accuser having to prove their case and there is nothing wrong with that.
There's still e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/backspace-to-go-ba... but IMO it's ridiculous to not just make this an option. Hide it in a flag. https://venturebeat.com/2016/08/14/restore-backspace-shortcu... they decided that 400k users was not enough to warrant a flag for.

But hey, cmd+q to quit immediately, with "warn before quit" off by default is a great idea. No need to look at that one or make it possible to change the key bind. Never mind that it's one key away from cmd+tab.

This is the kind of stuff you get when you make decisions based on A/B testing.
A key fob (a current implementation) is a better than a ring. You probably already have to have your keys to leave the house (lock door, start car) so it's not another thing to remember. Key fobs are a single standard size and keyfobs don't get tight when you get pregnant or fat. Key fobs aren't uncomfortable, don't give you allergic retractions, and aren't a potential safety hazard like rings are for many "hands on" jobs, and also don't impact hand hygiene.

The benefits of an implant are you, can't forget your implant, you can't lose it, it can't be stolen, and you can't give it to someone else. You also (probably?) can't break an implant.
That seems to be the only one out there, hence my conception that it's mainly a hardware-key. I would also be interested in seeing more cross-platform software U2F implementations!

"be careful in doing your review." Says the lazy poster who just made a bunch of claims himself and didn't cite anything!
Nudity and sexuality are different. This feels like a false trope, the whole "Europe is so much more evolved," thing.

Pop culture from the states often looks like a role model for sexuality across the rest of the world. Don't those K-pop music videos with gyrating women kind of remind you of Britney Spears? I don't think they got the idea from Europe.

I will admit we have a confusing relationship toward sex here, where a non-sexual image of a nipple is unacceptable, but suggestive gyrating and sexual symbolism (commercials where beer is spraying out of a can like an orgasm, I don't know) are normal to the point that we don't even notice. We can see this as suppression in a way, where we can only talk about sex in metaphors, and only "the media" (Hollywood, advertisers) is allowed to do it for the rest of us.
I love yours as well. I drink an embarrassing amount currently. 2-3 coffee drinks and 4-5 sodas throughout the day.

I'm terrified that if I cut anything, my productiveness will suffer. I didn't even realize how much these drinks were overlapping before seeing these trackers, which is a good first step.

The number 1 thing I would like would be some type text message question I received every couple hours throughout the day. The question would just ask how sleepy I am. I would respond with a 1-5 based on how awake I am.

Then my alert fullness could be charted along with the caffeine in my body to see if they are even matching up. The app could then suggest which drink I could cut out, and suffer the least.
Oh yeah, i feel this way!

In fact, during job interviews - if i feel questions are hinting at having/not having enough experience in a specific vertical/industry - i start bringing up the fact that before I jumped into induxtry X i had little experience, but then learned fast and became an expert...so hopping into your industry Z - sir or madam - is a straightforward process for me to learn it, and then succeed at it for you. 9 out of 10 times, there is a subtle visible body language that they like that perspective; and of course agree with that rationale. Of course 1 out of 10 times, that hiring manager doesn't see that, and of course my ability to adapt to a totally new industry matters little, they usually assume you should have been born into the industry...but in that case, i likely wouldn't want to work for someone like that (who might lack vision) anyway. ;-)
I'm renting in East Boston right now and my parents are getting the idea in their heads to try and snatch up property in the area before it really starts to take off (read: gentrify). On the one hand, I kinda get what they're trying to do, but on the other, what you mentioned here and in the parent comment makes me a little hesitant to agree with them.
No, they don't but you give them an option. It's only a suggestion for a password that will work and you can use any of a variety of tools that generates passwords that a not that hard to remember.
It isn't just the tech industry. Pretty much any massively wealthy family uses these effects to exploit their affect on the landscape for investment income.

I had a priceless experience trying to get my credit report about a year ago. I haven't had a car loan since about 2009 and even then it was on auto pay. I got locked out because I wasn't able to guess whether the monthly payment was, like, $237, $253, or $312. The other thing I've run into is where I can supply an arbitrary answer, but none of the questions are applicable to my life, like "who was your favorite high school teacher". More depressing than anything else, since my answers are always nonsense anyway, but still...

> Further, it seems identical to what we called neoconservative back in the 1990s: free market economics, very limited government, Hayao, etc.

Neoconservatism is foreign policy school which embodies a particular attitude toward the use of US military and diplomatic power. It incorporates and aims to spread basically neoliberal economic principles and systems, but it's not the same thing as neoliberalism in the same way that support for Soviet-style Communism as an economic system and support for the Soviet Union vigorously using its military and diplomatic power to spread Soviet-style Communism globally are distinct views.
