No, thanks for the new term to make a note of. I do have a very mild form of misophonia but I believe that's a psychological glitch, not a neurological breakdown, so there are no noises or frequencies I physically can't handle (and particularly not in the sense of the EMR issues). I do very occasionally use earmuffs and seriously appreciate the quiet, but it's more "yay no sounds I need to decode" more than anything else.

Ambulance/police sirens are merely annoying, but due to some ear issues from when I was younger I learned about how my ear canal works and somewhere along the way I figured out how to use the muscles near my ears to apply pressure to make sharp noises 0.1% less sharp, so that deals with that.

If you want to keep in touch (via throwaway or non-throwaway email), I'm gmail@asmqb7 (decipher as per obvious). I'm curious about frequency-based health issues in general, because I wonder whether everything has similar root causes and the solution(s) for one are widely applicable to the others. FWIW I'm absolutely tragic with email (backlog months (!) long :P) but occasional back and forth of news etc may be interesting.

I'm fascinated that you have zero issues with RF (Bluetooth). How long can you use a tablet (= fanless thing with a screen in it)? Try seeing if your computer has Wi-Di (Wi-Fi Display) - it's a low-latency Wi-Fi-based display solution built into newer Intel chips. I don't have a new PC so I have no idea how it works, but if you have it it'd likely be the simplest way to solve the "can't watch YouTube over VNC/RDP" problem.
So was the reply. I didn't know about that other study. I also have no reason to believe it is more (or less) authoritative than the NASA study. Most people don't actually know that the Antarctic (unlike the Arctic) ice sheet is not rapidly receding.
1) Turns out there are a bunch of volcanoes, 91, underneath the west Antarctic ice sheet that we previously didn't know about. In fact:

(Excerpts are placed between square brackets.)

["We were amazed," Bingham said. "We had not expected to find anything like that number. We have almost trebled the number of volcanoes known to exist in west Antarctica. We also suspect there are even more on the bed of the sea that lies under the Ross ice shelf, so that I think it is very likely this region will turn out to be the densest region of volcanoes in the world, greater even than east Africa, where mounts Nyiragongo, Kilimanjaro, Longonot and all the other active volcanoes are concentrated."]

2) Furthermore, eruptions would cause the ice sheet to melt:

[“Anything that causes the melting of ice – which an eruption certainly would – is likely to speed up the flow of ice into the sea.]

3) They could already be erupting and causing the ice to melt:

[“We just don’t know about how active these volcanoes have been in the past,” Bingham said.]

4) Also, consider this quote:

[If one erupts, it could further destabilise some of the region’s ice sheets, which have already been affected by global warming.]

I followed the link. The headline is:

[Although fracturing and surface melting on the Larsen C ice shelf might sound like indicators of climate change, these processes are natural]

The article links to a source, another article in the same paper, that actually contradicts the claim it is making. Another quote from the article:

[So, while ice fracturing and surface melting may sound like signs of climate change in action in Antarctica, they are really part of the background against which we must look for real change.]

It is not really a matter of liking it or not, but just that it is an entirely different game.

Other people took the licence and did their own thing with it.

They disregarded many elements of MI 1&2.

(MI SPOILER WARNING)

There was always an ambivalence between Guybrush being a pirate or a kid playing at being a pirate.
In MI3 this has completely disappeared (the different art style also prevents us from having an ambiguous look). Guybrush being trapped in the carnival (or sent back home) is also evacuated in the first minute of the game.

It does not make it a bad game, but certainly one that does not really offer a continuation of the first 2 games and is more interested in doing its own thing.

That's perfectly fine but I am curious to see what RG would do with MI3

> I prefer static visualizations. Animations overload the visual system with "visual bloat", if you will.

Then perhaps learning from a book or slides would be better for you. Animations are not visual bloat, they've helped me understand topics that had eluded me for years. Also, I can now visualize how a projection of a hypercube/tesseract rotates because of animations. Visualizing that process with static images would probably take me until the heat death of the universe to understand.
A lot of people here seems to think there is a lot of potential for perl6, with the only complaints being the name and its speed, with at least speed expected to improve.

But I thought this review sounded pretty damning.

Numerical operations are opaque as you never quite know if it's a rational or a float.

The grammar engine is inferior to other languages 3rd party modules, hard to debug and seems to not be suitable for its main purpose (parsing perl6!)

Everything seems to be writable in a multitude of ways with no clear indication if these ways are functionally different.

I do a lot of NLP in python and I wish for better tools to munge and clean up my text data, and have been curious about perl6, but after reading this review I don't find Perl all that enticing at all.
Scala had it before WL, with "_" which can be used with two or more arguments where necessary. I suspect other languages had it earlier than that.

It's a very useful shorthand, although it becomes less necessary with properly first class functions and/or currying by default. E.g. I don't know if Haskell has it at all, but it doesn't need it.

The problem isn't that you're somehow branded a 'rebel' if you refuse to publish with Elsevier journals. It's that, when you're applying somewhere, they'll rank you by SUM(paper_i * impact_factor(journal_i)). That score will suffer, and nobody will care about your reasons.

You're also underestimating the independence of researches at a university. They're not employees in the usual sense. In fact, the best method to stop them from publishing at some journal Y would be for the administration to tell them to publish in Y.
I am not sure to understand what you mean "not mixed together", the tunnel is a single environment to which you provide air.

The method generally used is "positive pressure".

I.e. there is a single pipe or duct through which the air is pushed till the excavation front.

The air, having no possible way out is forced to go back towards the tunnel opening.

Since usually the most activities are near the excavation front there is concentrated the clean air, while the one returning back is "contaminated" by the CO2 and other fumes at the excavation front.

The 3 m3/min per person and 4 m3/min per HP are common rules of the thumb to calculate the amount of air, and is in practice a "large" allowance since it is calculated with the maximum possible number of people and with the theoretical power of diesel engines (that never run at 100% throttle), and it has to take into account the said effect of contamination so that people working in the tunnel (not a the the excavation front) still get enough clean air.

Moreover it is not a "continuous fine regulation", fans have normally a finite number of speeds, so you are always using the speed (and the number of fans) calculated for the "longest stretch". As an example for the first 200 mt of excavation you have one fan at 1st speed, the next step, switching to 2nd speed is good up to (say) 400 meters, and you switch to 2nd as soon as you get past 200 mt, and so on.

I have used similar versioning strategies in products... Barring something special in the app, these kinds of plugins are not for the user or customer.

These kinds of plugins are for the development shop that makes the product, reuse across their product portfolio, and managing custom adaptations of the software for their specific customers.

Breaking APIs in this context is just like "breaking" any other internal API, as bother the caller and callee are upgraded and deployed together.
There are atomic clocks that weigh only about 35 grams. They cost $15K though, so probably too expensive for munitions, except nukes, but fine for aircraft and ships, and probably for some land vehicles. Having ±5.0E-11 accuracy and <1E-11 @1000s short term stability. So enough for any aircraft sortie or ship action in a region of probable GPS spoofing (precise enough for days).

Even OCXO will be enough given short duration of stay in a spoofed environment (typical OCXO will give you 50 seconds, but it is more than enough time to be within 300 meters from a spoofer, unless you are on foot). Or 500 seconds within 3000 meters, which is same speed - 6 m/s - which you have to maintain to be able to filter out spoofing. Several times more in practice because these are all RMS, not max errors. But 30 m/s is 5 sigmas which is military (nuclear, to be precise) definition of 'safe', so all aircraft/munitions are safe, and ships are big and expensive enough to justify $15,000 atomic clock.

I understand that you only have in mind the best of the people who use the infested cracks, but my suggestion is to let it be.

If you give the crack yourself, as suggested by another reader, the buyers of your software might feel cheated.

Now if you insist on trying to help the users who cannot afford your software, then do what MS did in the 90’s. Allow 123-4567890 to be entered as a product key and leak that to the crack websites :)

"By the way, one of the words in the screenshot is not right. It’s a typing error that I deliberately inserted. I know where it is because I put it there, but looking for it is hurting my eyes."

ITT: We compare screenshots of vi with a horrific color scheme to LibreOffice... At least have a modicum of intellectual honesty and get a real LaTeX editor like TeXShop.

"It's like the 1970s all over again, setting my color-scheme to 1970, on my 1970s computer, using software from the 1970s!"

yeah, smash that strawman. smash it right up...

The point of LaTeX is: \citep, \citet, \citealt, \label, \ref, \footnote, $$, \input. During the writing phase, these are essential to co-called "hard" scientists and LibreOffice isn't even like a thing that can be considered as a replacement, writing a hard dissertation with chapters, sections, subsections, hundreds of references, dozens of figures etc. is absolutely impossible without \label, \ref, \include.

For writing a book or something... I generally write in just gedit and then copy-paste into a LaTeX template at the very end. I think it's rather fun to twiddle around with the typesetting. Sorry if you don't.

> People have been using dark pieces of photographic film to see eclipses since ever.

Fully exposed and developed black and white film is safe, color negative film, however, is totally unsafe, regardless of how dark it might seem. The film has to contain real silver particles, not color dyes.

Beware of monochromatic film that looks black and white but it’s really a color negative film developed using C41 process. It has to be real black and white film.

Webinar: Providing Next-Generation Enterprise File Services Through OpenIO
We just plain can't do data augmentation quickly enough with TF. Queues-schmeyes, doesn't matter. Still tops out at about 35MB/sec on MS COCO and starves even a single Titan Xp. On the same hardware, with the same data augmentation steps, PyTorch gets ~50MB/s or so and saturates the GPU, since it never has to wait for data. In fact it can even read faster than that, and automatically parallelize the forward pass across several GPUs. You do still retain full control over placement, however. Super slick.
Deep down in section 7 is the author's own TLDR:

I think you’ll probably agree that the LaTeX version looks better than the word processor export version. Whether it looks sufficiently better to justify the additional effort is a judgement call that you’ll have to make for yourself.

LaTeX is indeed a typesetting tool, in the sense that the user writes content, LaTeX transforms it into typeset content. I'm not sure why the author goes through the same usual criticisms of LaTeX: 1) it's not for everyone; 2) it's good only for researchers; 3) it has a steep learning curve; etc. These have been known and discussed about for years.

The coder analogy (i.e. the type/compile loop) is close to my heart: I use Emacs both for coding+debugging and for writing content with LaTeX. A strong linking point between the two is TikZ-PGF. I'll consider alternatives to LaTeX when somebody comes up with something as powerful as TikZ-PGF.
Games in Haskell using GIF streams
Exactly. If we run out of 400-codes without an alternative having been set out, such as e.g. designating one or more of the remaining 400 codes to specify extended formats for, somebody is not doing their jobs.

E.g. once (if ever) we're down to 10 or so free ones, assign them as broad categories and specify that the response text needs to contain an additional, longer status code (so, say, "499 1234 some text" and "499 4242 some text").

It's not as if tech doesn't have a long history of including extension fields like that, and it still works with the existing grammar

My requirements were those that any OS X and iOS developer have, which don't require UNIX CLI rather XCode tooling, and are happy to use any UNIX certified POSIX system for the occasional CLI automation of OS X and iOS development.

Now those that bought OS X as a pretty alternative to GNU/Linux and *BSD, for development that should actually be done on those systems, might miss something like homebrew.

Apparently only those are developers on HN speak.
You mean a new journal for every scientific field? That's helluva lot of journals. Then, you need to attract people to send the papers there. There are countless local journals that mainly attract local authors now, and those are a joke when they are not outright junk.

To be honest if they didn't - stuff like Influx wouldn't really have a reason to exist. I think 99.9% of the operations in a devops environment will be pretty simple and predictable, it's a a trade-off they make. Queries are mostly there to draw graphs quickly.

I quite like the simplicity of Influx, and while our current use is pretty limited and far from hitting it's limits, for reliability and maintenance reasons I'd prefer Postgres, for which we have quite extensive in-house know-how and tools in place. Prometheus is one of the tools we are considering to add to our monitoring stack, and having the option of storing it's data transparently in Postgres could be very interesting.
