Nice. I set this when I found out about it a few months ago, and had kind of forgotten.. Diffs were just better at not showing new functions as being inserted inside the bottom of another function. Good improvement as a default.
Startups Must Stop Blowing Up the AI Hype-Bubble
In what way is it a gimmick? A portable that I can also play on a TV... it's been wildly successful (challenged by a weak opening lineup to boot) and many people use it in both modes consistently. It's functional and incredibly useful. By definition, not a gimmick. Hell, I've never liked handhelds, but I enjoy being able to take my switch on business trips.

And no one cares about consoles being walled gardens except for people like you on forums like these. Really, 99.999% of people playing these games couldn't care less. In fact, people like these walled gardens better than any other medium because they're simple and they work. The moment my wife has to open a terminal to figure out why her open source variant of a graphics driver is acting wonky is the moment she gives up and goes back to the console.

Literally nobody? My younger brother went to a state college during a time where he qualified for a ~3.4% loan from the government. I told him to take his time paying (for now), because a no-load passive index fund will yield higher than that. The past 3 years have been tremendous in terms of returns. He essentially used his student loans to net 12-18%. When family members caught wind of this, they told him it's not the best move, and our father paid off his loans.

So. No. Not literally nobody.
Not only that but you're guaranteeing yourself one or two extra frames of input lag due to the double/triple buffering.
I've run into several problems porting a Chrome extension to Firefox.

One of the biggest is that if your extension talks to a server (in my case, it was Firebase), and a web page specifies a CSP (Content Security Policy), Firefox applies the CSP to your extension's content scripts as well, whereas Chrome does not. This is a bug that they've acknowledged, but haven't fixed in over a year: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1267027

This bug makes it very painful to develop an FF extension, as you now need to create both a background script and a content script, talk to the server in the background script, and then have the background script relay information back to the content script. It's ridiculous.

The other problem I had, had to do with using libraries. In Chrome, you can just list the library before the script, and it just works. For example, you could have:

content_scripts: ['Rx.min.js', 'your_content_script.js']

Above, with Rx.min.js, I was able to refer to Rx without any trouble inside my content script in Chrome. In Firefox, it didn't work. Rx was an undefined variable. The Rx.min.js script was something that you could include in a page with a script tag, so it should have set that variable. Oh well... I ended up having to use webpack to be able to use Rx inside the content script on Firefox.

And that isn't the end of my problems. I also had some trouble getting the communication between content page(s) and the background page working. The examples listed in the MDN documentation simply do not work, even when copied verbatim into a new web-ext project...

With the upcoming deprecation of add-ons in Firefox 57, and the really buggy state of WebExtensions in Firefox, it's going to be a pandemonium when add-ons support is dropped. WebExtension developers are going to have quite the experience porting their extensions from Chrome to Firefox.

What comment are you reading?
I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive me, but I'm still in the dark as to what it is you actually believe. Help me understand the difference you see between observations about population aggregates in studies versus observations about "races".
Key quote for me: "As an industry, we must be more careful about how we use these terms, and only call something AI when it genuinely is AI. If we continue to apply the term AI to everything, regardless of whether it is true AI, we risk business decision-makers dismissing it as empty hype that cannot solve their actual problems. It will start to look like marketing puffery."
You can't seriously be putting software engineering above civil or mechanical engineering... They're two completely different fields which both require years and years of training.

Segfaults happen under heavy compilation workload - nothing to do with PHP specifically, for instance compiling Mesa produces it. And mce bug means random freezes and reboots, when CPU core wakes up from some sleep C state.
I don't know how many users signed up only for games, but in my circles it was a minority that used it mostly for gaming, though it really was a big part if it.

Does anyone know why they gave up on it?

When I see such a poorly formatted/edited article, it makes me question the integrity and quality of the thinker behind it. I know it's vain and maybe superficial, but if they can't be bothered to consistently format or proofread their work, then I wonder what else they couldn't be bothered to do.
Certainly, but whether you think bitcoin has any real-world utility, bitcoin-mining certainly has economic incentives.
There might even be a good argument against subsidies. But the article was not it.
"Elon Musk has earned every tax payer dollar he has received."

By definition you do not earn a handout. You merely conform to the requirements of receiving it, which he has. "Earn"? Definitely not the word to use for him. We're talking about money that he has taken from all taxpayers to fund the pursuit of his dreams. His dreams get funded because they are approved by the government. There are ~156 million adults employed full time. On average, this equates to ~$32 every single taxpayer has paid to Musk. If you are a higher earner, which I suspect is true of many here on HN, Musk has "earned" somewhere between $50 and $100 of your money.
Alt-right is white nationalism. So you've gone from libertarian which is not really left or right (depends on issue but revolves mainly around a weak central government except as it relates to protecting civil liberties and national defense), completely skipped moderate conservatives, conservatives, and right wing, and even hard right, and landed on a blatantly racist movement that has no f'n idea how the economy even works which is why they keep thinking tax cuts for people who make over $10 million a year creates jobs, but bank deregulation is good, but the banks f'd them over in 20008, but for sure stop importing brown people, legal and illegal, and especially if they're Muslim.

Most alt-right are just deeply ignorant people. But some are malevolent. The base ideology requires people believe vicious things about "the other" who happen to be merely different. They refer to liberals as libtards, and prefer strong leaders like Putin, Kim, Duerte, Erdogan, and even weaker autocrats, as compared to "vile libtards" like say Clinton (who is something like a cross between Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Thatcher). No doubt they'd prefer Putin as president of the United States than a Clinton.
> And Bitcoin

Given Bitcoin's "capitalisation" failed to hit even $10bn until well after the crisis [1], it's safe to say that more capital moved, in almost any single U.S. state, from stocks to corporate bonds, than from anything to Bitcoin. Being optimistic about the future of a technology is fine. Being delusional about its history is not.

I've been using MotionEyeOS for several months now. I setup a a couple of Pi3's with some cheap Logitech USB webcams. Works great from inside the house - I used velcro to tape the cameras pointing out from various windows around the house and in the garage.

The source is not minified.
Ask HN: Can you recommend a good S/MIME CA?
I've been using Comodo's 'free' S/MIME client certificates for a couple of years, but the process always feels like it's intentionally terrible to discourage use, they say it's only supposed to be for personal use, and of course Comodo have shown themselves to be slightly shitty in response to LetsEncrypt.

So, I've contacted one of the major CA's who have a "contact us for pricing" and the sales people indicated that they require a minimum purchase of 50, 3yr certs.

So I'm asking you HN: is there a better CA for S/MIME that is workable for small businesses?

Actually, on a technical level, on anything but the native scale (in display settings), Apple’s approach is more computationally heavy, as they render a larger texture and then rescale it to the native pixel size. On Windows, in a perfect world, a non–multiple scale should render still at native resolution.
What looks risky now?
The FAA limits allow up to 160 Wh within a device.

A Thinkpad T430 with the 9-cell with a Slice battery pushes that to 188 Wh, and no one seems to question it. You can also bring spare batteries (not the same as an external battery) to plug into it.

The MacBook Pro is not pushing these limits. They have a glued-in, non-replaceable 49.2 Wh battery.

Your best bet at this point may be an external, but users would be better off if manufacturers offered machines with large, replaceable batteries.
I'm sorry, but if you're still in the dark about what I believe, then I think you're willfully so. I have to be honest: I didn't really think you were arguing in good faith in the beginning, but I was hopeful that you might be brought into a reasonable back-and-forth.

I no longer believe that's possible.

Edit: Just to make this explicit: I don't have any eccentric or unorthodox views about the differences between "races." I haven't advanced any such views here, nor do I hold them privately. tptacek's implication, of course -- and this happens in every single one of these conversations -- is that I'm concealing some detestable opinion about race. That's why there's always this persistent pleading to clarify what you actually believe. I've stated quite clearly what it is that I believe. No more or less. If I haven't been clear, then we'll just have to attribute that to my failings as a communicator and call it a day.

It's not because they need the tax break it's because the government wants them to buy a hybrid over a combustion engine car. It's quite simple.

The tax breaks here in Denmark were more substantial, before they were phased out. Normal cars have like a 170% tax on them that electric cars were exempt from.

Yes, I'd be curious to know why they don't push the limit anymore.

But in any case, we're talking a maximum of 30% improved battery life that you can get by going bigger. Better efficiency when consuming power is likely to make a larger difference.
That is a strange response to a straightforward question, but I can't say I'm unhappy to see this weird little thread die here.

I think the key phrase here is "young life."

When you get older, read more, travel more, experience more, you'll understand the value of a well-rounded education.

Or maybe not. Perhaps confining yourself to a one-track life and career path will prevent you from seeing, or being considered for, other opportunities in life. You'll never know.
Yeah, I was completely sold on the Switch as the best couch co-op console till Splatoon 2 came out. Nintendo's biggest new franchise...and you have to use our crappy online service to play with friends (Or everyone has to invest $360 to play locally.)

Throwing salt on the wound is having the co-op mode being only playable when they want you to. I actually haven't played it since the first time I went to play Salmon Run and it was blocked off.

Splatoon 2 is a really fun game, but they really did a botch job on the end user experience.

But... you don't see a problem with this? I don't know if nutrition is the example you want to use. This is science we're talking about. It can't afford to be wishy washy like this and we don't change our ideas about how planets align based on which culture you're in. You suddenly not have appendicitis because you're screaming in pain below the acceptable cultural threshold.

In one society, being gay causes immense stress, and may therefore be classified as a mental disorder. As it was. Yet it isn't a mental disorder, obviously. Problems caused by the difference itself, and problems caused by society's attitude towards the individual must be separated.

On the other hand, certain problems, like autism, are fairly solid as to whether they exist or not. Whether you live in a society that mistreats autistic people or a society that idolizes them, there's a distinct difference people may possess.

Confusing disorders with inability to cope with an unaccepting society is very dangerous, because it leads to precisely what you're saying: overdiagnosis, and using diagnosis as means to shut people up and avoid critiquing society itself, and other things.

Forget using POW to secure a ledger. It's comically bad because of the wasteful arms race which now makes each transaction take as much energy as a household does in a day(!)

The reason bitcoin is so far ahead is because it was the first. Proof of work to secure the blockchain AND also elect a dictator to mine the next block is cute, but I wish they had decoupled it, as they did for example for bitcoin-ng.

What I am far, far more interested in is proof of work for avoiding sybil attacks, or used COLLABORATIVELY by nodes to secure a history, as done in Ripple for example.

So, back to sybil attacks: proof of work, can we trust it?

What are the best ways to make it expensive for an attacker to create multiple identities, yet cheap for everyone else to make one identity?

One is the cumulative time and activity invested by you and those who invited you.

For example, reputation. Maybe making accounts is cheap but reputation comes from random nodes with reputation upvoting you. But then you can spam all those nodes since they're operated by humans.

It seems we have yet to design a system that's truly impervious to sybil attacks. The best we have is tying things to a human real world transaction, eg buying a smart phone, and hoping that whoever made the smart phone also has a service to sign data (they don't) that wasn't compromised.

Any other ideas? Paying for accounts with bitcoins? That at its root is just back to the proof of work arms race and reputation of bitcoin.

Question: is there some sort of service by the Secure Enclave that can sign a piece of data with an HMAC or something to prove that it was signed on a legitimate, non-jailbroken smart device?
I'm not actually a proper hipster with skinny jeans and a waxed mustache, but for the purposes of this discussion I you could say I am - I like many of the same things, for similar reasons.

In general though I don't think subcultures are very ironic. Most people want to belong to something, even if they don't like (aspects of) the majority culture. If there is a group with similar sensibilities to you then why not join them and protest mass consumerism or whatever together? Even if it means adapting your style a bit.

Human beings don't exist in vacuums, almost everything we do is in relation to other people and their opinions and culture.

So the transit authority decided that it was more important to have trains evenly spaced out (to minimize the worst case wait times), but the tradeoff was less total capacity and thus more crowded trains.

I'm really not sure which is the better case. Trains always arrive in a short time, but can be full. Or you may have to wait longer for a train, and then a little longer still for the train right behind that train that isn't as full.
So let's say you replace hashing with some algo that just requires a lot of memory. Wouldn't the cost just be sunk into buying a lot of ram and 'wasting' it? Ram isn't free to produce and has its own externalities.

I like my Ryzen 1700X which I use as a home server. But after overclocking my 5960x runs most software faster. The Ryzen CPUs seem to have some kind of hard speed limit right around 4 GHz. My 5960x can go to 4.3 although I keep it at 4.1 normally. That's 4.1 GHz on all cores at full load, not boost clocks.

But yeah, AMD is cheaper. And if you compare it to a 5960x at stock 3.3 GHz clock, it is faster.

He actually sort of answers this in the last question they ask at the end. He says that because he's made it so obvious that they're his enemy it's impossible for them to do anything about him in the public light except possibly have him killed which would obviously be incredibly suspicious.

As far as the actual legality of the things he does, it seems like pretty much everything in the talk I had heard before, mostly through the Snowden files.
It would seem one could analyze the performance in this day of big data and find a more efficient plan for scheduling the trains and adjusting in real time. Maybe the system is too unpredictable to make this possible. Even so it would be fun to try to model the entire system and try.
