This is one of the best technical books ever written.

My review on amazon:

"Rocket books are often page turners. I reviewed Sutton's "Rocket Propulsion Systems" a few years back. I picked it up as a cure for insomnia, and ended up reading most of it in one night. The nice thing about rocket science; it's not really "rocket science." If you have a background in physics or chemistry, rocket science is a perfect level of semi-light reading. There is chemistry, neat, but conceptually simple thermodynamics, mechanical engineering and materials science. None of it is at a really high level: rocket science is the type of thing you could do on a slide rule. People did.

This book has a similar quality; it's pretty easy to read (though I confess I bogged down a bit in some of the chemistry sections). I didn't read it for the science, though. I don't really care about rocket fuels. I learned the basics about rocket propellants from Sutton. It's conceptually simple "look at the periodic table" stuff. This book is about the implementation details, and how they were discovered. I don't plan on building any rockets any time soon, so it's more or less irrelevant to me. I suppose this could be helpful to folks who might have some ambitions to make some fancy rockets, but are too precious to use LOX and Kerosene or dinitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine.

Mostly, I read it because it's uproariously funny. Research involving physical objects is funny. Why is it funny? Because at the end of the day, we're really just dumb monkeys playing around with forces we only partially understand. Rocket research has some of the highest comedic potential because it involves smelly things which explode. Had I only known this, I would have arranged to have been born in the 1920s, so I could do all the cool research that happened in the 1950s. Alas, the heroic age of rocket fuel research is now over.

Still, we have these anecdotes, which are unique, and possibly eternal. To quote the book, "if you, gentle reader, have never seen a nervous rocket mechanic, complete with monkey suit, being buzzed by nine thousand demented bats and trying to beat them off with a shovel, there is something missing from your experience. ""
This brings to mind something that has fascinated me recently (and probably applied to your friend's situation). Social networks need to be more open when it comes to how blocking people works and what information they have that allows the network to draw connections between you. If they aren't they're going to suffer.

My situation is that after blocking someone on Facebook I got recommended to follow them on Instagram (they were not in my address book on my phone and I haven't shared this with Instagram so the only way I can see Instagram having the info that we even knew each other is from it's parent company). I'm sure the other person probably got the reverse recommendation - something I obviously don't want.

I've also had family members of people that I blocked (along with blocking all mutual connections) recommended to me years later. It may not seem like a big deal but depending on your reasons for blocking people or avoiding them online it could be distressing for some. It did however make me seriously consider deleting my account once and for all (in the end I just locked all social media down even further).

My personal experience made me think a little about how things have changed. In the past if you ended any kind of relationship (even non-romantic) you could simply choose to not see that person anymore and possibly go the rest of your life without bumping into them or hearing about them. Now, it is a gargantuan and almost impossible task. Like in the case of your friend it can be potentially dangerous but even in more basic cases it can be a mental burden and impossible (or very difficult) to draw a line under someone and move on.

I'm rambling a little now but I'd be interested to know if anyone had research or articles they know of discussing this change in society and it's impact on people's wellbeing. I know it's been documented that social media can have a negative impact on mental health so I'd be curious to know if what I've discussed above is a significant factor in that.

It could be federated, basically the same API could be implemented or a common implementation can be used by a number of service providers...still not sure though what federation by itself adds to the core solution.

I am the developer and have tried so far in vain to get the IRS to integrate. The IRS is the single largest data source for basic identity attributes in the US so integrating that would essentially allow almost every adult in the US to be able to leverage it.

I have developed a Chrome extension to allow the use of IRS tax transcript information but obviously it is a very high bar considering the sensitivity of that information.

The lack of a property manager also struck me as crazy and I've never been a landlord. Plenty of rentals have gotten trashed and city fines accrued long before airbnb existed. Doesn't sound like this stuff happened overnight.
My idea was more of a site like Facebook but ONLY available over TOR. Something people want/need to use and TOR is the only access method.
Exactly. That's why I left Firefox also.

And due to jilted lover syndrome, I feel compelled to post in threads like this one saying so. Heh.
I just did a booking through them and noticed that the price changed per the selected language, the difference was 124 vs 169 (eng).

Booking in english gives you quite the disadvantage.

So most US grocery stores have huge volume commercial bakery bread in the bread aisle that is squishy, sweet and otherwise flavorless, and then also a selection of other breads in the deli/bakery section of the store, where there are often some decent selections.

Are you lumping all of those together?

Interesting. The thing is, I don't have control over what the OP can post. It's crazy how you guys are assuming that I don't know my own age after judging based on:

1. A search of my username (there are tons of people with a three letter username like my HN username)

2. An old post of mine on Reddit.

3. My NPM profile (which includes lots of forks)

4. The quality of my username.

5. The layout of my comments on Hacker News.

6. The posts of some stranger that has attempted to submit my website multiple times.

While there are certainly intelligence officers operating under diplomatic cover in every embassy, they're a small fraction of the total staff.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.

I think there's a deeper debate that Mitchell is running over the last few years at Mozilla, and that's how to find a balance between "your voice is heard" and "someone is making a decision".

If you voiced your opinion, and the decision has been made that is not in line with it, it's very easy to feel that "my voice didn't matter. Mozilla doesn't want my opinion".

I believe that it's a fallacy of communication.

So, in total. Sure, as the project grows and priorities change, we get to a more structured way of making decisions. It's getting harder for a casual contributor to steer the decision in a completely different direction.
But I do not believe that it's any different from Fedora, Wikipedia, Gnome, KDE, Wordpress or any other open source tech.
When you're a 10-person github project, it's easy to say that anyone can file an issue and change the course of it. When you're a multihundred million users project with 20 years of legacy code, and thousands of contributors, it is harder to see the connection between your opinion and the result.

But I do believe that if you gain trust in the community, and use the right forums (and I realize that finding the right forum to voice your opinion is not easy), you do have an impact.
Even if the final decision is not in line with it, which will happen, unless you and the decision owners are always 100% correct.
I suppose 90 degrees on the North Pole or -10 degrees in Singapore wouldn't be noteworthy either.

fair question, but I don't recall the specifics that disappointed me. It's totally possible that the first half of the book was just much better than the second, and it wasn't anything about my thinking that was responsible. it wasn't a controlled experiment :)

ok - paged through the book a bit again and the main thing is that the early stuff was totally new to me (18th century Dutch bonds!) - and the latter is a well-researched rogue's gallery of recent, well-known failures (Enron, Japan's lost decade(s), the recent financial crisis (the book was published in 2008) ). Overall there is a focus on failure and a bunch of editorializing that didn't impress me on the recent stuff and casts doubt on the objectivity of the more distant historical parts.

edit: uh - i didn't answer your question. i learned that, holy-crap, it's hard to attribute cause to effect and very very easy to fool yourself. The market is not efficient - but it's usually close enough that correcting doesn't pay that much.

The thing I see glanced over a lot in multithreading is the actual implimentation of messaging people are talking about. What is being used to actually just 'send' messages to the main thread while the sender thread continues on? I know qt has slots and signals, but I haven't found a good native method that does something like that if I wanted to for example use an std::future and also receive messages back that can update a gui.

> I'm not actually sure that the C++ library does anything that pthreads doesn't

There’s std::atomic, which didn’t have a standardized equivalent in pthreads. In lieu of that you’d see some ad-hoc combination of GCC builtins, OS-specific functions, and `volatile`, with the result often not guaranteed to work on architectures other than x86 (if at all). Compared to that, std::atomic is both more flexible and easier to get right. The C ‘backport’, stdatomic.h, is also available on most platforms these days...

Just quoted this part because it's so important. Most (but not 100%) of regulation complaints are of the "waah waah" sort.
Then the government should do its freaking job and host a trial. This isn't a game.
This is amazing!, while I would never advise this as an option, it probably would be fine

Here's the best advice you'll ever hear. Money is the be-all and end-all of our existence. Make it, honestly, and be very careful who you trust with it. No money, no honey. Only listen to one who speaks with his money. A USD is not money.
> The thing is, I don't have control over what the OP can post.

You see here is the part I don't believe. If you look at the submissions [1] that the OP has, all 5 of his submissions lead to either your github projects or your 13 y/o twitter page/website. I doubt that a person you don't know is so obsessed about only posting stuff about you, not commenting or anything, just submitting your projects and links. That account has no comments nor favorites.

Based on that - my assumption is you have multiple accounts here and now are lying about not having control of what the OP has, if you lie on that part - it makes your whole 13 y/o thing less beleivable to me.

I don't understand. The city is levying fines against... the victim of a break and enter?
Wheelbarrows are a prime counterexample - historically, in environments that had decent man-made trails, wheelbarrows were useful and used; in environments that did not, pack-carrying animals or even people did the job even though the concept of wheelbarrows was known; also, the availability of roads (as opposed to narrow trails) was the prime reason for differences of usage of wheelbarrows (especially the efficient middle-wheel variety e.g. https://www.google.lv/search?q=wheelbarrow+chinese&tbm=isch ) versus two or four wheel animal (or man) pulled carts, which were popular only where roads had been made and were maintainable, so not in jungle-like environments where it takes more work to keep a road from overgrowing.

I agree that reactjs would have been better without setstate, instead with tightly integrated Redux, which would remove much of the Redux boilerplate.

For the most part, this is what this reframe thing aims at as far as I can tell.

Setstate really should be long term deprecated, it's a design error in react.
Humans (and probably anything else) don't have access to the complete set of raw data that makes up our environment. We have imperfect data streams coming from our sense organs and from that we build a model of reality, which may have varying levels of accuracy for different people (e.g. we could say a schizophrenic has a disturbed model of reality). The idea being that reading a lot books, traveling, or in general exposing oneself to as much varied data as possible will improve the accuracy of your model of reality.

Behavior like this will lead to Airbnb being sued until a point where they recognize it is cheaper to put a zip-code blacklisting system in than continue to break the law. Right now they make money from this behavior. It's a poor long term strategy that made sense when they were small and scrappy but is no longer acceptable.

Also, they're losing public support - I've used airbnb for years in SF and around the country and they used to have people on their side because they were the underdog. They are no longer the underdog. They are now worth roughly the same as Marriott.
I shouldn't say your dog isn't valuable, but I must insist that the human worker is more valuable than the dog.

I do think it is fundamental that an injured worker who was injured on the job is the employers financial responsibility. Anything else creates hugely inefficient externalities and unnecessary human suffering. Worker's compensation law is super important

I'm already on ESR, but my reason is I need java plugin for my company OEBS (it supports web start, but it takes ages for our admins to patch anything).
At the same time, keeping legacy plugins working is a big bonus, I love Classic theme restorer.

Still undecided what to do after june 2018. I guess I'll just try firefox and chrome side by side and move to chrome if there is no real difference. It is probably more convinient to migrate to chrome, since it is on the phone by default too.
> If your goal is to be pedantic,

No, my goal is to suggest that there's more value in many thing than their primary use.

> you 'use' a picture every time you look at it

In which case you also 'use' a bookshelf full of books every time you look at it; so the books need not be discarded either.
Oh, that's very easy.

I’m really enjoying Open Andre Agassi’s autobiography. It’s beautifully written and makes me think about what it really means to want something. You can definitely get very far hating what you do.
Only because IDEs in other languages are weak as hell. It is not directory structure/boilerplate. It is code completion, analysis, discovery and all other similar goodies. It is just so much slower to produce the same functionality as you are used to.

Even basic things - ability to see all callers, all available methods, warnings on bad constructs and yeah, templates for often needed sysouts ...

Refactoring. Oh just a simple thing, like simplest of all available refactorings, rename something with zero worries about forgetting some place or changing one more ... I missed this ability so much ...
Of course advertising works - that's why I resent it so much and go to great lengths to protect myself from it.

Prepared to take the hate too. Answers seem fake under the question about relation with parents, and your voice does not strike me as a 13 year old, in particular seeming too controlling of situation. I don't buy it. I apologize in advance if I'm somehow proven wrong in some verifiable way.
Absolutely! If you have 10 people on your team that all solve a problem one way, and you interview a candidate that solves it a completely different way, that's an enormous asset in future problem solving.

Diversity of experiences makes for better solutions. Leslie Lamport said the only reason he came up with such a novel way of modeling distributed systems was because he was the only person looking at the problem with a background in mathematical physics.

Once he viewed it through the lens of general relatively, spacetime and causality it was trivial - and he admits this. An ACM hall of fame paper. "Time, Clocks and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System." And was the birth of modern distributed systems understanding.

So I've photographed lasers a bunch and burned a few sensors, I guess I should toss in my experience. As far as I can tell, it really depends on the specific phone that you're using, and also the damage is usually fairly minimal. I've damaged fancy sensors with lasers and they almost always have major problems afterwards, but for years I used a phone with a very severe amount of laser damage to the sensor and the photos were quite good and the damage was barely noticeable (as a series of black lines on the image.) There was no damage to the lens.

I also doubt it would be the lens damaged in the case of a smartphone. The lenses are built to take a tremendous amount of abuse and almost certainly would be fine. The sensors are by far the more fragile component.
Kabir, can you tell me more about family life. Do your parents encourage you to code or do they worry you spend too much time at the computer? Are there pressures to stop, or pressures to keep going, or you feel free to do as you please?
The feds like that this case is happening because it sets a precedence for them to hold people indefinitely. This of course is the ultimate leverage over any case.
