This isn't a new demon-haunted world, this is the old, demon-haunted world before nineteenth-century progressive politics, back when "milk" that wasn't half chalk still might have a fish in it (see famous Thoreau quote on evidence.)

We aren't enforcing the laws we have and our grandfathers and mothers had. (Three guesses why.) Not on monopolies, contracts, patent misuse... nothing.

Just this week I and Hearthstone came to a stop - Blizzard's new policy insists on a credit card and that I owe them for purchases made if they leak the card no! I can't sign in to play "my" cards 'till I agree this is totally cool. Sure, the old policy said they could revise it as they liked, but the law says otherwise and always has. They don't care - it'll be years before the law is enforced against them, as it was with Steam and refunds.

No cops - so to speak - on the beat, and Trump vowing to fire more regulators, that's what's changed. The number of potential demons is more of a constant.

Ask HN: By when will majority of homo sapiens become true atheists?
While reading Homo Deus, I was intrigued by this question of when will a consensus be drawn among us that we are just an other animal and there is no one called God. a slow transition to this singularity can be observed reviewing our history, but I am curious to know your opinion on when we will reach there and what might be a supplant to God.

Other way around - synecdoche usually refers to a whole through a part (calling an entire ship by just saying stern, for example) but a part through a whole is usually called metonymy. Synecdoche is a subset of metonymy.

Edit: the wikipedia article does mention that it can be a part through a whole. But this is at odds with my Classical background.
> Personally, I would prefer to work exclusively with those who value meritocracy more because diversity proponents are very often believers in the ideology of perpetual victimhood.

I think you're projecting. The only displays of victimhood I've seen in this context is from white males who (incorrectly) believe that an increased focus on diversity means they are somehow being discriminated against.

If you create value for your employer and can demonstrate a minimum level of competence when it comes to technical and people skills you really have nothing to fear from diversity. It is ridiculous that this even needs to be pointed out.
I picked on google because this whole post and the OP of this thread is about google. And you're using a lot of words to mostly say nothing.

The point is users are never going to have the power to force un-evil behaviour because the business model of data-mining companies (all of 'them', not just google) relies on social manipulation and exploiting weaknesses in human nature. Government regulation is the last resort, sure, but for this kind of business (and especially for the big players) it should be pretty damn clear by now that there is no other viable option.
Not to get political, but I believe the commenter used the word correctly. It is also a well known fact that the left is more authoritarian.
It indirectly becomes a form of discrimination against the poor. Wealthier renters play the game, call their doctor friends to get a note (like they did in high school to get out of tests). Poorer renters go look elsewhere.

How? It's not like legally required accommodation for service and support animals is a finite resource. Just because my hypothetical dog is an ESA doesn't make it harder for yours to be -- in fact it should make life easier for people with real need because more people will be familiar with the requirements and already have procedures/policies in place.

Since there is at least one formulation of the strong force that uses a modification of the standard electric field equations and covers why it only appears at nuclear distances and there is another formulation for gravity that uses a modification of the standard electric field equations and covers why it is so weak and is always attractive, one must ask why is there no research into these specific formulations in the wider physics community to see if they have any merit.

From what materials I have on hand, both could be merged into a single field equation formulation.

Putting a urinal in a men's restroom and not in a women's restroom is not sexist, even though they are being treated differently based on sex, because there is no prejudice or unfair discrimination going on.

The handshake rules are not necessarily prejudicial or unfairly discriminatory. Some of them might be, some of them might not. It's best to think of sexism, and other isms, as a spectrum, and not hard and fast rules.
I work remotely 80-90 hours a week using my laptop (this is important: your screen needs to be mobile). Here's how I currently try to keep my body moving:

- I don't have a desk or chair. I have a bar table and a stool. This makes a huge difference. I get uncomfortable sitting on the stool after about 30 minutes, so I get off. Then I'll stand at the bar table and work for an hour or two. When I get tired of that, I'll spend a minute or two doing a physical activity (see below).

- I try to work from different physical places, e.g., cafes, different places in the house when nobody is home, the steps outside, the floor, the hammock hanging by the lake. I make it a game to come up with new and novel places to work from that don't require a lot of travel time (unless I'm walking—then it's well-spent travel time), anything to change the physical position of my body while working (and hopefully something that gets uncomfortable within an hour so I'm pushed to change again).

- I have a sandbag next to the bar table that I'll pick up at random times throughout the day and do squats, deadlifts, bent-over rows, or just carry the 60lb thing up the stairs or out around the yard once. I'll also use it as a weight to hold my feet while I do sit-ups. I have a pull-up bar hanging between two trees outside.

- I don't watch TV. In fact, I try to avoid anything that involves the sitting position. If I have to sit, I prefer the floor, or if I'm watching a movie or reading a book, I prefer laying down. If it's something for a few minutes and I can stand, I'll stand.

I've been doing this for about a year now and it's the best I've ever felt while working this much. What I'd like to start mixing in are some runs or long walks, but right now it's a choice between those or getting sufficient sleep. I prioritize sleep.
You say "bullshit charges" like having a dog is of zero consequence. Maybe your dog is the one that never comes in with muddy feet, never has an accident, or never scratches or chews a thing, but even if it is, it isn't bullshit for a landlord to try and manage the cost.

C's popularity is due to the fact that it is predictable within certain bounds (single thread or limited concurrency).

Your post, and reading a discussion further down about Rust's reference counting, has made me realize something primitive that Rust is getting right--a real move forward--which even those who don't enjoy the default "safety switch" being flipped from C (like me) may agree.

The C model for memory in time and space is so clean for heap data and the function call stack for one thread (plus global registers), but C has no community-understood/concurring model when it comes to concurrency.

Rust, older C++ libraries, C malloc implementations, and other are all alluding toward the simple memory model for multiple threads, which is reference counted pointers, IMO. Basically use a separate type of pointer for heap data, where the max size of the heap is divided by whatever binary power of 2^p processors exist.

Rust folks or other languages are welcome to add more ownership semantics or whatever, but the whole family of languages could benefit by this extension to the lingua Franca of C.
We may not even need to add a new nominal pointer type to C, just by fiat understand and expect shared, free store objects to always live inside the lowest 1/p th portion of the word address space.
The minimal implementation for the application side in Python is "flipflop". It calls your function, and you return a HTML string as a result. That's enough to hook up a Python program as a web server.

Anything beyond that, such as input data parsing or generating HTML from a template or tree, should be a library, not a "framework". You might want multiple libraries from different sources.
I grew up in Orlando and my high school gym was a shelter for those displaced by Andrew. That stretches back quite a bit farther than 12 years, I know, but the image of folks living in the gym has been seared into my brain. It's part of the reason why I asked the original question.

This project has been around for many years it seems (eyeballing the commit graph on github, it looks like 2004 or so). It doesn't surprise me if you'd pick Sourceforge in 2004, but they've done enough dodgy stuff that I'd choose something else today.

At first, they had a confusing download UI with "DOWNLOAD NOW" advertisements that went to unrelated software.

Then, they were wrapping adware into OSS project installers.

I think I understand. The idea would be to have one HashMap<tKey, tValue> that holds the objects themselves, and then a secondary HashMap<tKey2, *tValue> (with a star this time) that indexes on some other key and points to values stored directly in the first map?

What's the benefit of doing that, compared to making both the HashMaps store pointers to independently allocated objects on the heap, such that insertions into one map never invalidate the other map? Is the hope to avoid paying the cost of an extra pointer dereference when we're using the first map? Or does independently allocating each object hurt cache locality or something like that?

I Hate the News (2006)
Agreed. I live in Austin now, but I lived in Houston before this (Ike hit about a week after I moved to H-town, what a welcome party). Turner made absolutely the right decision. It was very unclear until very close to landfall how powerful it was going to really be (tropical storm -> Cat 4 in ~50 hours.) That isn't enough time. For ~4 million people, like a week isn't enough time...

If a panic had ensued from an evac order? Honestly, I believe thousands would have died from the roads flooding and being trapped in their cars. It would have been a living nightmare, more than it already was.

(Greg Abbott, on the other hand, did recommend evacuation. I can only assume he did this because his only purpose for existence is to be a gigantic piece of shit, and ruin people's lives in any way he can, but whatever.)

On the contrary, authoritarian governments are not democratic, which is illustrated by the example sentence in the OED definition you've provided (but not cited):
‘the transition from an authoritarian to a democratic regime’

Any engagement with the word more serious than a dictionary lookup will indicate that regulation and authoritarianism are not at all the same thing. Restricting the access of pets to restaurants is not the same as the dismantlement of civil society to enable a one-party regime.
I haven't, and its a good idea. I wrote a bunch of C# code back in 2007 and I consistently enjoyed it. - It seems like a very pragmatic language choice.

But if I'm going to move further away from the hardware in exchange for some language comforts & quality of life improvements, Elixir is the next language I want to try. I think both its concurrency primitives and immutability rules might be the right language-level defaults.

The security track records of major network-facing C++ apps disagree with you.
You either waste a small amount of time up-front defining what's acceptable and how people should deal with each other, or you waste what's likely much more time the first time people have a major problem that could have been avoided with some sane defaults. And then you're faced with the choice to spend more time setting some sane default expectations, or you put it off until the next problem.

The real difference in why the kernel can work with that and other projects can't is the D in BDFL. What Linus says goes, so there's an ultimate arbiter (for better or worse) that can settle these problems, and set the tone. The LKML doesn't need a code of conduct because Linus is the example of conduct, which in this case is "words don't matter put up or shut up". That'f fine, as long as you're aware and okay with marginalizing the people that don't deal well with that, which can, and has happened on the LKML. But that's a choice for Linus. Rust doesn't have a BDFL, so there's no ultimate authority to define what's right or wrong for Rust and the community around it (as much as a BDFL can for something at large as a language). In that situation, a code of conduct that exists to set some sane defaults can be useful.

The iterator invalidation rules in Rust are straightforward, more straightforward than those in C++. They have to be, because the compiler actually checks them.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. All I'm trying to say is that economists generally agree that a small amount of inflation (around 2%) is good because people will rather have their wealth in stocks/bonds/etc rather than the fiat currency itself. We want money to move around, rather than sit in someone's safe

You do realize that the politics of Rust are exclusionary. There are people, myself included, that do not want to (or risk) get wrapped up in the axle of this brand of social politics. I feel included enough in Linux kernel dev to get work done. OTOH I don't feel the need to walk on eggshells to be part of your group. Am I marginalized enough to be of particular protection (as mentioned in your coc)?

I don't know what to tell you. You can't please everyone. The rust project has the right to run it on their terms but your "inclusion" is necessarily exclusionary. Accept it and admit it. At least the kernel devs aren't blatant hypocrites on the topic.
I think there are roughly two camps about autonomous cars: the people who think that a car that's 70% as good as a human, but significantly better for that 70%, will be good enough in the beginning, and the people who think that an autonomous car won't be okay until it's as good at a human in every aspect, e.g. requiring an AGI.

Both camps have valid arguments, but I think that the safer option is the one where humans don't need to think or drive at all, essentially not requiring a steering wheel at all. I don't think the Tesla model is so good because if you let a driver essentially not worry about what's going on for 95% of the time, and then something needs their attention quickly, their reaction time will be significantly slower because they're not primed for it, unlike during a normal driving session. You can argue that humans can be trained for this, but unlike pilots pretty much anyone can get a driving license and it's not difficult: for example, in Florida, many municipalities just have you do some simple stuff in a parking lot with no real world, as in not in an actual road, driving test. For those people you can't expect them to pay attention and allow a car to drive, the human brain just doesn't work like that. This argument doesn't even talk about the things humans don't even realize they perceive, like the intention of other humans in the area, that is really, really difficult for a computer to understand, another huge barrier.

In my mind there will be two areas that self driving cars will impact: long haul trucks, and regular car features. Truckers are trained pretty well and I could see a semi-automated truck work for them, especially if they were trained a bit more on the specifics of the automated tech. Regular cars will likely get an improvement as well, maybe a better version of cruise control that takes care of stop-and-go traffic better, or something that can sense accidents further away and warn the driver to take an alternative route before even being near the accident. These would have real, and positive, impacts but won't be truly self driving.

The total distance to travel going via GSO or LEO is not at all the same; in particular, there's a fairly wide range of positions that an LEO satellite can be in where it has LOS to both Hawaii and the mainland.

That being said, once you've laid the cable, fiber optic is fast, they typically over-provide the cables when they lay them, and they can often increase capacity by improvements at the endpoints. Radio to LEO seems unlikely to compete with that, but for less-populous and/or poorer islands it might make sense.

Is it really that? Or is it simply more likely that in a landlord's market where they can choose to rent to a dog owner or a non dog owner, they opt for the one that carries less risk of damage or complaints by neighbors (all other factors being equal)?

Dogs can scratch floors, pee or poop on carpet, shred things, keep people up barking, dig up yards, even bite people. I can't say I blame them for protecting their investment to the maximum extent possible when market conditions allow. It's an investment to most, and nothing more.

And I say this as someone who grew up with cats and a dog and loves animals. I might one day decide to own a pet myself, but I sure as heck wouldn't begrudge a landlord who did not want one living in their property.

Watertight is a hard engineering problem to solve. If it isn't a vacuum or loaded with some other gas then you will get water coming in because of temperature cycles causing the device to act like a pump, which in a phone are a problem because you will have temperature fluctuations caused by charging, usage and environment.
I don't either :) but sort of a silly question I guess. I presumed it was the sun due to the angle of illumination as well as common sense that the sun is probably the brightest object in the solar system along multiple bands of light; I was really just amazed at the relatively large amount of detail in the image.
