(Slightly off-topic) In a graduate theological program I was introduced to the idea of "second naiveté." Simply, if the faith we inherit is a naive one and a process like a graduate education deconstructs such a faith, second naiveté looks like a choice then to return to an assembled faith held in tension with the modern criticism used in the deconstruction.

It's an intensive and disruptive process that I'm not sure many want or are able to go through, but I wish would. The key here is to walk through the entire process (one which is actually cyclical in my opinion) with the individual. Anything less seems malicious or inconsiderate at best. Said another way, to destroy someones worldview or belief system (even flawed or dangerous ones) and not help them rebuild something is not going make the world a nicer place to live in.
One surprising thing that I discovered recently is that after Haswell, Intel processors got much much better at predicting "interpreter loops", which are basically a while true loop with a very large seemingly unpredictable switch statement. It lead to a dramatic improvement in micro benchmarks and made some traditional optimizations involving computed goto and " indirect threading" obsolete.

Does anyone know how it achieved this?

95% of what he wants can be done with a suitable Emacs config, org-mode and some elisp... What I find confusing, coming from a professional writer (though maybe that's the eye with which they would look at this), is that he seems to view very different aspects (purely cosmetic ones, such as the indented line in a first paragraph, or heavily usability-oriented ones, inserting a TODO note) as equally important.

Then again, he has tried all of the editors out there, and I'm just an Emacs geek :)

Transport planning is about developing road networks around specific purposes. So a major route would have a higher speed profile than a residential road. Residential roads with lower speed profiles also sometimes expect children to be playing in them and primarily be destinations.

Filtered streets (placing bollards at one end) are a key tool in rebalancing anti-social behaviour primarily caused by congestion on major routes. It is not changing the function of the road, but enforcing the original designed purpose of the road to be an end destination and not a convenient through route.

It is also significant tax saving. Residential roads are not designed for significant volumes of traffic and can suffer significant damage if they become overused.
IMHO the problem with D-Bus was that it was never small and utilitarian. They decided (correctly) to ignore all the engineering effort involved in performance and scalability, and put all that overengineering into the API instead.

D-Bus code is basically unreadable, as not only are the bus names heavily scoped (java-style) to avoid collisions, but also the interface and method names. A tiny python (or whatever) script to invoke a single method on a well-known object should be a one-liner but in practice lives over 6-7 lines just due to verbosity.

D-Bus types are inexplicably low-level for a "utilitarian" IPC mechanism, leading to a bunch of type conversion to do simple things, and a ton of marshalling code in the core. Javascript has shown us how far you can get with just IEEE doubles and UTF-8 strings, yet D-Bus suffers with a type model that looks more like C.

Isn't that the very definition of something being predictable?

That there is a pattern which predicts a certain outcome?

For example a certain simplified weather pattern (e.g. "if it rains for three consecutive days 9/10 times it rains a fourth day") makes it possible to predict a certain weather ("it has rained the last three days so there will be rain tomorrow as well")

Obviously that is not a prediction with absolute certainty but nonetheless a prediction.

I think this is an issue for Google when they want to introduce new platform features for developers, e.g. Project Tango. If updates take years to get to users, it handicaps Google's ability to be innovative.
This is an interesting analogy.

> Bikes use far fewer resources to accomplish the same thing

Bikes use a lot more time, which is a pretty important resource to most people. When I drive, that's usually why. So, are the additional features that Atom provides "driving saves significant time" variety or only "driving allows you to listen to the radio" variety? If the former, it might be worth the occasional freeze or slow down.

> If I used those charts to convince people to start biking, I doubt I'd be very successful.

I think if people actually didn't know that cars used more resources, the charts could have an impact on behavior. The fact that it's obvious (especially financially) means people already carpool or even (in cities) don't own a car at all. I don't think it's as obvious to some people that not every editor uses this much RAM, and you don't need another laptop upgrade, you can just switch to another editor.

> I couldn't care less... because it has practically zero impact on the environment or anyone other than yourself

I think you're right, but I'm not totally sure. If enough users refuse to use unreasonably resource-intensive software, then more effort will be spent on keeping most software efficient. We still seem to have plenty of options, but I'd rather try to convince others to use efficient software than eventually have to continually upgrade my hardware to keep up.
Hi guys,
we just developed a SaaS (https://www.hardypress.com) to have the best of both worlds (static site + wordpress), but fully automated and hosted.
We also seamlessly support Contact Form 7, and we take care of scraping your website’s pages and augment the search box to provide instant suggestions so, for most websites, everything will work just fine, even if the site is completely static.
If you want to give a try, I would be happy to hear some feedbacks from you :-)
I've been a fan of way Medium is trying to new approaches in this space. The idea of having members sponsor other "members" (though they call them authors) is really interesting. Especially if they get enough members on the site.

Obviously, it's easy to point out why this won't work, but waht I'm interested to hear is how it might just work.

Residential roads are usually a destination where kids play in the road or even become good cycle routes as the speed profile of the roads are designed to enable social cohesion. The original purpose of the road has been 'lost' as congestion has increased making the road attractive.

As to guardrails, they create a significant barrier, not only for, say a pedestrian being slammed into them by a car, but also from a neighbourhood community point of view. The problem is not the people walking and cycling, but the people using it as a convenient cut through.
Germany has another (unique and different to the neighbours) distinction between "Mord" and "Totschlag" (both are translated to "murder" in my English version of the law). The former requires one additional criterion from a list to be fulfilled. These are dark motives (killing for killing's sake, sexual satisfaction, greed, hate, honour killings, or similar), reprehensible manner (treacherous, cruel, or with means dangerous to the public), and to facilitate or cover up another crime.

This distinction is pretty out of place in German criminal law but plans to change them move very slow.

> I'm going to put it in a robo-ETF company & not think twice about it. That means not paying attention to the market at all & playing the long term.

Maybe I'm missing something about how ETFs work, but AFAIK the Japanese stock market is way bellow where it was in the late '80s - early '90s, so that anyone who would have invested in related ETFs back then (had those ETFs existed, of course) would have lost lots of money in this 20-years span. If the same thing were to happen to either the European or the US stock market (i.e. a long period of stagnation) then putting money in a "a robo-ETF company" will be a losing bet (and it is a bet, make no mistake about that).

An interesting way to say "I posted before reading the article", but I'll take it!
Yes, for the time being we do not support reexecution.
This is nonsense. Downturn is how you describe consecutive periods of lower prices after they happen. It's a trailing analysis! It's impossible to say with certainty that you are ever "in" a downturn for an instrument - a moment of consecutive successful buying(price increases) ends the downturn, the time you thought you were "in" it was actually the moment after it ended.

This type of trading mentality is why the 90/90/90 statistic exists. People read this, believe it, and become sellers when they would have been buyers or non-participants. The only thing that matters is right now if you are trading. Yesterday is irrelevant, your [N]-period MA's, fib lines, gann fans, and other indicators are equally irrelevant. If you are on a commercial trading floor, ask the guy next to you "are we having a bull day/week/month/year or a bear one?". Either you get laughed at, or completely ignored. The people actually causing these numbers that people see visualized at charts aren't even looking at them! They likely aren't looking at charts at all! If that last statement seems too "oh no it can't really be that way, I see charts on MSNBC so they must be professional tools!" to you, then find a friend who works for a market-related institution, and ask them. You might be surprised at the answer.

Now the interesting part, is if you can get enough people to believe they are in a "downturn", then you influence them into becoming sellers opposed to buyers. This only turns "down" if enough institutional size believes selling is more immediately profitable than buying or non-participation. A good way to incite this belief is to publish it to major news sites. Like bloomberg(another word that will cause hilarity and snark if uttered on the trading floor).

Do you know why your financial-news network is a free channel? They want you to see it. Anything that can encourage you to participate means there is more amateur liquidity available. Institutions really like amateur liquidity. After consumption, your exit(at your loss and their gain) is assured, since your pain threshold is orders of magnitude lower than theirs.

One last bit about "patterns".... your brain is a pattern recognition machine. It's the reason you think you see "text" right now, instead of a purple giraffe. It's also the reason you see shapes in complete randomness: your brain wants to categorize things it sees, and we call that categorization a pattern. Patterns are death to a day trader: 100% financial death. Repeat that to yourself each morning before you walk into the pit, or you will walk out bankrupt.
The problem is that, in most cases, managers are people who were good workers (and good at office politics) and who then got promoted into supervisory roles with little, if any, additional training.
Driven by government regulations which are too inelastic to respond to changes in the economy.

Easy example: governments, by definition, will spend more money year after year. Governments rarely 'scale back' their expenditures. When 1) taxes cannot be raised and 2) money cannot be raised through treasury bonds, then there is a crash.

Government is bound to follow the boom/bust cycle and brings the rest of the economy with it. Sectors of the economy that heavily rely on government spending like: health care, defence, banking, education, transportation, will crash and it will be sudden.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I'd add that we don't formally teach the basics of our credit system (or even our financial system) partly because children would easily poke holes into the accepted explanations.

"Why would a bank let someone pretend to be me? Shouldn't the bank ask for more info?"

"Why does it take forever to know my credit but any business can get in a second?"

"Does the government run the three companies that set your credit score? Why not?"

It's a kind of unconscious, societal embarrassment that manifests as an educational taboo.

We don't talk about what we don't want to think about, or more specifically, our society doesn't teach what it has accepted without critical thinking.

Using jquery, the following looks exactly like the submitted form to the server side:

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $("#form").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(data)
{
//do stuff
}
});

Instead of serializing the form, jquery can also just serialize a flat js object. I wouldn't call that complicated enough to make a distinction. (it's probably really easy in modern plain js too)
Crypto Assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum will play a roll in this. I believe we will continue to see big gains in the crypto world and this will only make large institutions jump over when their typical markets start to make a down turn. The next 5 years will be VERY interesting as we turn into a more decentralized and digital asset world.
The problem then becomes what happens when the server receives the request, processes and stores the data, but loses connection before the client can receive the 200. In this case, the client will assume the submission failed and will retry the submission - creating two records.

Vexlio comes with a minimal LaTeX bundle that is used to render the equations. The input you give in the edit window is automatically placed between $ signs to enter math mode. Currently the preamble is not customizable but you are not the only person to request this.

Right now there is no "official" way to use a local LaTeX installation, although that may become possible in the future. An untested workaround might be to symlink the "tex.install" directory in the Vexlio.app bundle to your local LaTeX installation. Please note I have not ever tested this and things may break.

PS: Any other questions in case I don't see them on this thread can be directed to the email address in my HN profile.
It doesn't look like a series of comparisons from the CPU point of view. Normally switch statements are compiled like a series of "if" statements, but the interpreter loop style switch gets compiled into a table of jump targets that is indexed by bytecode. Same kind of indirect branch prediction features that were previously designed to help C++ "virtual" functions help here - a branch target buffer, etc.

The VM interpreter loop is mostly a main bottleneck in languages that have rather low-level VM instructions and data types. In high level VMs the dispatch on operand type is the main bottleneck. This too benefits from indirect branch prediction.
In general, the value of a share is:

value = intrinsic_value + cash_and_equivalents - liabilities;

intrinsic_value includes brand recognition, goodwill, equipment, etc; this value is subjective.

cash_and_equivalents are decimated by dividends, so it doesn't matter if you get them as dividends or share value
That's how I read it, too and was like 'Oh, that doesn't sound like a great research...'
I just want to point out that what it explains relies upon the Keynesian or Saltwater School of Economics. The assumption being "Spending drives the economy", the Chicago, Austrian and other free market schools of economics believe that "Savings drive the economy".

Based on this distinction lies the distinction between the policy proposals advocated by Liberals and Conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. Irrespective of which of the above statements "Savings drive the economy" vs "Spending drives the economy" sounds right to you, it's important for people to understand that this distinction exists on a fundamental level in economics (and in today's political climate, even more important than holding an opinion on which two statements are right, it's important to understand that the difference exists).
It does mean that indeed!

Note for example that in a gravity field like the one near the Earth surface the "down" direction has very different properties than the two horizontal directions (1).

In particular, an object stationary with respect to the surface released at altitude will develop linear momentum in the down direction, so in the down direction momentum is not conserved. OTOH, the linear momentum in any of the horizontal directions is conserved.

(1) Isotropy means that space has the same properties in all directions.
> For a long time, it was considered best-practice to blanket-block ICMP

I agree with your point, but think this needs some clarification about who considered it a best practice - among enterprise firewall admins and financial-industry compliance audits, perhaps.

Large scale network operators have seen the problems associated with entirely blocking ICMP for at least a decade. (v4 has blackhole problems too)

A lot of the hatred for ICMP came from simple things like easy endpoint discoverability. nmap blew that argument out of the water pretty quick.

I dunno. If you take a random walk and label the parts that go up as "growth" and the parts that go down as "recession" don't you get a similarly compelling 'narrative'? The picture looks far from periodic to me other than the basic generalization that "it goes up for some time until it stops going up at which point it goes down and also it doesn't get too far from 0."

(And what is the vertical axis supposed to be labelled as? I don't even know what the chart is of.)
