You know the scene near the end of "Real Genius", when the team realizes they've been duped and Chris screams "Kent, how could you build that mirror?!"?

I ask myself that question before taking a job, so that nobody else will be able to.
Sort of, but not really. The reason you wear a seatbelt (for the most part) is because of things that are outside of your control: other drivers. In the case of woodworking, there are no other woodworkers that are going to do something stupid.

And yes, I know that you also wear a seatbelt to remove potential injury from only you driving (think if you lose control, etc). You do the same in woodworking; you use clamps to prevent things from moving, you use push blocks to keep your hands from the blade, etc.
I've created scripts like these as part of our home-brewed CMS system in the early 2000's.

Nice and easy dos tool. Enumerate the width and height parameters and bring down the server fast.

Better way to do it is to specify, or allow admins to specify, a set of named sizes and only allow these named sizes.

You could also think about adding parameters to determine the crop, or force aspect ratio etc. (with the same risk of dos)
So is there an easy way to do it? I've reported repeat callers a number of times, and they just keep calling so I get weary of filling out forms online and stop. I want a big ol' button on my phone that I can slap whenever I'm dumb enough to answer.

That can't obviously be true except for some certainly specific workloads.

Core 2 was the breakthrough that left AMD in the dust from which it still hasn't recovered to parity. Even if I can't recall the numbers, I fail to remember how the very energy-intensive (high clocked) Pentium 4 could have been faster per clock.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Pentium 3 to 4 change? After all, Core architecture had more in common with P3, didn't it?
HN has room for free-thinkers. It's a valuable trait that you're questioning authority.

But you have to do this thoughtfully and substantively. HN has a lot to offer if you throw your energy into this.

I get that it can be impossibly tempting to point out the flaws with the systems around you, but casual fascism comparisons are like throwing a molotov into the crowd of ideas.

I just saw your edit. Listen, I'm trying to look out for you -- your comments are substantive on other topics. This place is pretty cool, and it's not too stuffy. But you won't get to experience it if you just get yourself banned straight away.

It's worth putting in the extra work to make substantive, thoughtful, and ideally emotionless points. It's the way you change smart people's minds on a divisive issue. It's not about being a conformist. But you have to care about putting intellectual gratification above your own ideals. That shared goal leads to all of the quality on HN.

This makes me wish there was a dating app which could match me with people based on the similarity of the music we listen to. Just yesterday I was driving to work rocking out to some Spanish punk rock and thinking that if I could just find a partner who also listens to Spanish punk rock we'd probably have a lot more in common than any of the people I meet though existing dating apps.

Edit: There is such an app. It's called Tastebuds. Downloading it now to check it out.

Edit: Ok, the app sucks. It doesn't match you with people based on your music, it just lets you add music you like to your profile.

Door close buttons do close the door, but any time a normal person is using it, the door is already about to close as fast as it is allowed to when you press it, so it's not going to close any faster. If you're a maintenance worker however, who uses it outside of normal operation the door close button has to shut the door or it won't shut until you put it back into it's normal operation loop, and also because if it doesn't shut the door it will fail a fire test.

Replacing the contents of my previous post regarding VS 15.3 support of F#.

"For long time .NET developers, a common question is "when will Visual Studio support F# .NET Core projects". We’re working hard to get this functionality ready, but unfortunately, we’re not quite happy enough with the quality in the 15.3 update to announce that it’s fully supported. While Visual Studio 2017 version 15.3 is able to open the new F# .NET Core projects, build, and debug them, IntelliSense does not yet work correctly"

Okay, but how much do they think that information is worth?

General admission to a regular movie here is $12. If their average user sees even 1.5 movies a month (might be higher - I imagine this kind of subscription would appeal to the type of people that enjoy going to the theater), they're losing $8/mo/user right off the bat.

If they get 100,000 users, figure in some operating/other costs, etc, they're looking at trying to sell 100,000 people's theater watching habits for like $1m/mo. That seems a little wacky to me.
In addition to the long timeframe, HSR is also mostly not a commuter solution even in places like Japan. And commuter rail is already a thing in many places and widely used (including the Bay Area). I live about 40 miles west of Boston and I can get into the city by rail today in about 90 minutes.
>If you have performance concerns, file a bug or comment on an existing one.

Excuse my language, or don't. But the Go-Maintainers really don't give shit about improving their languages performance. Also FFI ALSR is disabled for debugging simplicity. Which I can only imagine means they debug by reading literal core dumps by hand.

Furthermore I'd rather not donate my time and energy to a company as large as Google.

>Also, I don't see any reason why jni should be slower than cneeds to switch stacks whereas Java doesn't have to deal with such things.

The JVM has its own scheduler to keep locks fair, also OpenJDK does green threading in its runtime to allow for GC cycles on JIT'd code. I'm pretty sure Oracle and Azule do a well since JIT execution/cleanup requires doing stack swapping.
I'm going to go ahead and guess that the FCC would choose not to move forward with fines in this case. :-P
I agree that it's a bad analogy, but I understand and agree somewhat with the parent's point.

I have role-played thousands of scenarios with the help of computer games, and watched a large quantity of violent Hollywood movie scenes, so I can easily imagine both killing in self-defense and pre-emptively murdering people that may or may not actually deserve it.

The best I can say is that it would be morally unacceptable for anyone to murder you, specifically--a person who has publicly renounced killing. And because you desire to not kill in your own defense, it is therefore more acceptable for me to kill someone else in your defense.

But doing so would offend your own values, so do I have time to judge whether that is a principle you would die for?

It gets complicated.

Fortunately, the law only deals with what is legal, and not with what is right. Sometimes, breaking the law is the only upright thing to do. If the law says it is still murder to kill in self-defense, then you kill that assailant, and then you take whatever punishment the state dishes out for it--not because it is just, but because you shouldn't fight an adversary that you cannot defeat. Obviously, it is better to live under laws that match your personal principles, but we can't always do that.

Pacifism is a perfectly reasonable moral stance to take, but I do not think it could exist without non-pacifists willing to use force to defend those pacifists. And that is why I am not a pacifist myself. Obviously, it would be better all around if everyone could be a pacifist, but that experimental world quickly falls apart whenever anyone goes renegade.

There is no direct source, but you can try it, or just look at the current implementation.

Currently, Google serves AMP by serving all AMP search results from its own cache, which allows Google to add features such as the header bar, or the swiping between carousel elements. This doesn’t work if the pages are from different origins.

EDIT: I found some sources:

> contain a <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script> tag inside their head tag.

https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/spec#required-mark...

Which prevents self-hosting the JS

And https://developers.google.com/amp/cache/faq

> Q: Can I stop content from being cached?

> A: No. By using the AMP format, content producers are making the content in AMP files available to be cached by third parties. For example, Google products use the Google AMP Cache to serve AMP content as fast as possible.

I find the complacency argument to be flat. The Sawstop technology doesn't prevent injury, you still get nicked by the blade, it just dramatically reduces the severity of injury incurred. Additionally when the mechanism trips the break and blade are spend and must be replaced.

So the motivation to be safe around the saw isn't negated, it's just driven by different factors. Instead of motivation coming from the fear of losing a part of your hand, it's coming from fear of getting nicked AND having to replace expensive parts of your saw AND the time loss from having to stop working.

Having a case and screen protector on your phone don't magically make it impervious and you don't suddenly starting handling it recklessly. Having seat belts and airbags in your car doesn't suddenly make you open to ramming your car into that asshole driving like a jerk in front of you. So why would no longer fearing losing your hand if you screw up make you more open to touching the spinning blade on your saw?
I'm sorry, but what you're saying is factually incorrect. Can you please update your comment so as not to spread misinformation?
And yet, you only get a ranking boost if you allow Google to cache your page on their CDN. You can not run your own modified version of the AMP js, or run AMP’s js from your servers, or opt out of being cached by Google’s CDN and get the ranking boost.

To quote the AMP specs, a page is only eligible for showing up as AMP in search if it

and

Cost pass-off to consumers.

If we assume all 2,000 people that use daraprim daily at $120 a daily dose, it comes out to $87,600,000 yearly.

If we assume half of Americans don't have insurance (160 million), each American would see a hefty 50 cent increase in their yearly premiums.

This is a gross simplification, but $100,000,000 is a literal drop in the bucket.

All the one-shot approaches I've seen are IMO transfer learning in disguise, which raises the question of "what are you transferring from?".

In the video[1], you can see the operator walking with the sled to rip a large panel. A cross cut sled on a traditional Powermatic/Delta/SawStop doesn't have the same capacity and the operator ends up standing in front of the saw and bending his hip to push the sled into the blade. The geometry of motion is different. With a sliding saw, you're mostly out of the line of fire of kickbacks.

(The saw in the video is $40k but you can get used sliding
saws for $5k which is about the price of a brand new SawStop Industrial saw.)

> Why would you build your whole site on AMP???

To get a ranking boost? For some search terms, moving to full AMP gives you a ranking boost catapulting you from page 13 or worse to the #1 result. So if you don’t use that, someone else will use that advantage.
> People, especially while learning, associate programming with specific constructs and idioms of C-style languages. It's incredibly difficult to break that barrier.

First, how is it anti-trust? And second, it's been shown that faster page loads = better conversions since your bounce rate drops. This is especially true for mobile.
That entirely depends on the condition being tested and how many other ways there are available to test for that condition.
That still doesn’t give you any of the ranking boost – that is only given if you allow Google to cache it on their CDN. Google does that by default, you likely don’t even notice it, but if you try to prevent it, you lose the ranking boost.

It may have changed since I was a kid, but from what I recall, the ticket cost goes straight to the distributor and the theater makes its money on concessions. This model seems perfect for the smaller venues you'd want to actually go to (Alamo Drafthouse, etc.) rather than the blown out, trash compactor megaplex you subconsciously avoid because you'll wait for it to hit Netflix rather than endure the long lines, bad parking, and apathy that tends to crush the moviegoing experience.

While I am glad this worked for your friend, or seems to be at the moment, that doesn't actually solve the problem.

The problem that this article is pointing out is actually that rehabilitation and treatment centers are money making machines and that some owners of those centers are unscrupulous and unethical at best, and acting completely criminally at worst. By legalizing new treatments you actually cause the problem to get worse, not better, especially if those new treatments lack clinical data and scientific backing. This leaves an open door for desperate people in need to be seduced into treatments that might not help and will cost substantial amounts of money.

Many types of treatment do work, and work very well. If someone is in need of treatment, please, do your homework and research and find those people who can really help you.
IIRC at the end of those 18 months Norah Vincent had to check herself into a psychiatric hospital because of the severe depression she developed.

Besides saying that men don't really have it better[1] she also commented[2] "When you mess around with that, you really mess around with something that you need that helps you to function. And I found out that gender lives in your brain and is something much more than costume. And I really learned that the hard way," which is less "women have it much, much easier" and more "women, living as women have it much, much easier".

[1]: gender stereotypes hurt everyone, and in [2] she spoke about how "They don't get to show the weakness, they don't get to show the affection, especially with each other. And so often all their emotions are shown in rage"; but they can't be discounted because of this.
