But that's the whole problem, isn't it? The parents enjoy a lifestyle and a tax bracket where inconvenience is impermissible and unacceptable. The child has become inconvenient.

ETA: I had to stop reading before I finished the article, because it put me back in a place where I do not want to be. Still sort of there at the moment, but so it goes; I'm sure I'll be fine again tomorrow. Anyway, looking again just now to see how the author chose to conclude, I happened across this, a few paragraphs from the end, which I excerpt here without further comment:

At their son’s moment of crisis, why not start there, changing the environment rather than the kid?

She and Jason exchanged a look. “That’s just not possible,” Elizabeth said.
It's clearly an exercise in futility to engage further with such an ahistorical world view. It would go too far off-topic as well. Thanks though.

However, I'll give you a starting point for compiling a list by the same yard stick; there was recently news coverage of an Indian politician accusing Churchill of genocide. It has been barely contested, and for good historical reason. And that's the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

Well, the code being measured does one pass through the array. Sorting can in general not be done in linear time, so asymptotically you won't gain anything by sorting first.

That's the union, but what about the algorithm?
Gas giants are a much less obvious place for native life to evolve, at least from our understanding of life. Enceladus appears to have liquid water, which makes it much more likely (still slim).

That said, Arthur C Clarke included giant city-sized lifeforms floating in the clouds of Jupiter in his 2001, 2010, 2061 series. And Isaac Asimov wrote "Victory Unintentional" in the robots series.

Which shows that Tesla is not the only new player in town.

Given that much of the value chain isn't provided by OEMs anyway, commercial vehicles (where comfort and optics aren't as important) can be produced without the help of an OEM.
As I understand it, xanadu's goal is to interstitch documents, in a similar manner (I just realized) to git blame; documents are composed of original text, and pieces of other documents, recursively. So you can traverse the history not just of the document, but the blocks of text as they get referenced and pointed to by newer documents. I can't remember though if those blocks were meant to be updated as the original does, or if they're treated immutably.

This on the other hand has a much simpler goal: organizing your documents into a tree. Afaict, it can be treated/navigated like a file system, except that theres no distinction between file and directory.
You probably want a -r with that xargs. -r makes it exit without executing the command line if stdin is empty.
Forced redistributions give wrong signals to people.

What signal does does it send to people when you allow a privileged few to inherit (for practical purposes) anything they want without having had to put any work in to get it? What signal does it send when those same people can use what they've inherited to buy policies that only increase the discrepancy between them and their plumbers - who are doing hard work that few of us would enjoy?
I'm actually quite shocked Youtube does that. I know exactly what you mean, and I specifically avoid clicking on some videos because I know Youtube will just spam me with those in the future.

I'm sure in many cases the recommendations give more traffic than less, but I can't help but feel for me personally, it's giving Youtube less traffic. I actively avoid clicking some videos on Youtube, because I don't want that crap to repeatedly show up for me. It's a cancerous feature.
The complexity of the hobby projects is unbounded and in your control. If you think your hobby projects are too easy or unrelated to your work you can decide to pursue different projects. There is no "sexist" project manager out there that can stop you.
Authors don't generate distro packages because there's too many distros and each distro needs to make changes that have nothing to do with code. Maintainers are necessary and a package signed by the author is a non-starter.

However, source code can be signed and then used to make a package signed by a distro.
Ubuntu would crash all the time and just was so bloated/ugly and crappy. Been on Antergos almost 8 months now-and it is so awesome, totally love it, runs way smoother.

I can perfectly imagine it as it may give an indication on whether your interest is in the field or not. If you know the answer, chances are you read HN or follow other communities as opposed to not giving a damn.
+1 to this. There's no need to reinvent the wheel a million times. At least having a shared standard on how to do packaging.
I am reliably informed by many Internet commenters... and can there be any higher authority than that?... that programming doesn't actually involve "math" very often at all, so I'm sure languages that don't support that ivory tower "arithmetic" stuff will be suitable for a wide variety of useful every day tasks, such as scraping web APIs and re-implementing Reddit in a weekend.
It is a phrase meant to suggest that those unelected career officials are conspiratorially involved in running things autonomously from the elected officials. I think it's a very partial truth, and agree the scary-sounding phrase 'deep state' probably doesn't really help us understand how things work, in the U.S. at least. The phrase 'deep state' was originally used, I think, about the Turkish government, where it may be more useful/accurate, I dunno.
Nope. You can't solve phishing with technological means. You have to curate either a whitelist or blacklist.

The best way to handle this is whitelists of trusted package maintainers and/or code authors.

But is hibernate relevant? I've found suspend to be much more reliable, and good enough in terms of energy consumption (thanks to modern low-power states in CPUs).
Yes, but they do filter bash_history client side, only transmitting pip-related commands. They did this to find additional common typos. The relevant code:

def get_command_history():
if os.name == 'nt':
# handle windows
# http://serverfault.com/questions/95404/
#is-there-a-global-persistent-cmd-history
# apparently, there is no history in windows :(
return ''

elif os.name == 'posix':
# handle linux and mac
cmd = 'cat {}/.bash_history | grep -E "pip[23]? install"'
return os.popen(cmd.format(os.path.expanduser('~'))).read()
Strict typing isn't always desirable, depending on the application of the language. With it you give up a certain level of developer productivity; appropriate if you're using Javascript for backend logic with Node, not so much if you're building simple views with React.
And I wasn't clear, in that I was curious about more than the union.
As you say, it's motivation. So you need to figure out how to align motivation between what you're doing at work and your own motivations. Motivation isn't just about technology you're using, it's about whether you're learning, how you feel about company's goals, and so on.

So you could:

* Switch to a more interesting project at work.

* Find a new job that's more compelling.

* Focus on second order motivations, like "I am making money to pay for food." This is harder.

Ask HN: Recommend a new operating system that I could try
Hello HN community,

I have been a long time user of Linux system (Fedora, RedHat, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu). I have also worked on Windows and Mac.

While programming I realized that every new programming language I learnt introduced me to new ways of doing things that I think has helped me mature as a programmer.

I am looking for a similar experience with operating systems. What operating do you suggest that would help me to explore something new and interesting?

A couple of constraints:

* Should not be another Linux distribution

* Should not be too esoteric or obscure operating system. I know this is subjective. If this filters out all operating systems you might have suggested, then please suggest the least esoteric or the least obscure one.

* Good documentation or clean source code is a plus because it would help me to study and learn it more effectively
Agreed, and it's one of the reasons I've switched off of everything google I can. Youtube and Google Voice are the only things left. Oh and my Pixel XL phone, but I'll be switching to the iPhone X in Jan / Fed (whenever it goes carrier free).

I hate not knowing what consequences my actions are going to have.
Edit: nevermind, not from the Guardian article.

It actually does directly mention microwaves:

Only where it's hot. I've driven several EVs in Europe and not noticed a fan noise at all. But you only use the A/C ~5-10% of the time here.

Tyre noise is different, on motorways EVs are not much quieter (for cars, not for trucks). In cities the difference is huge.

I had something making a loud sharp continuous 16 KHz tone in my house in the living room, at least according to an audio spectrum analyzer app.

I'm old enough that 16 KHz is outside my range so it never noticeably physically bothered me. I don't remember for sure, but I think I tracked it down to my TV.

That TV died a few weeks ago and I replaced it. I just checked, and there is no more tone.

So you are simultaneously saying that the cut throat competition of the telco sector is keeping the data and call rates at global lows (a good thing), and saying that we need not have the same competition when the infrastructure for rural India is built out? If competition acts the way it normally does, someone is certainly going to figure out how to connect rural India in an economically viable way and profit immensely.

Or the mathematics won't pan out, and the company dies. And the government will probably step in to fill the breach. And it will probably do an awful job (remember the mathematics never panned out?)

Both of these are good outcomes. Compare this to handing over the control of such vital infrastructure to a megacorp which has a consistent track record of violating the trust of everyone - the users (random privacy rule changes), the advertisers (fake video views), those they acquire (e.g. the comedy show called WhatsApp ads), the jurisdictions they operate in (arbitrary censorship of content to make sure they kowtow to the public flavor du jour) and last but not least the legal system (claiming that they cannot/will not infer a WhatsApp user profile based on FB user profile knowing the pitifully tiny effect of the punitive damages).

With such a track record, it is a surprise that they even have the temerity to still approach governments around the world to propose FreeBasics.
Yeah iosevka is missing a few ligatures I'd like but they slowly get filled out over time and it had the ones I use the most.
I understand why Matt came to this decision and ultimately agree with it. As someone who builds products based on WordPres for other companies, I can understand the concern. Imagine I build a site that uses WordPress 4.9 (or whatever release Gutenberg is will come out in) for a startup. Facebook legitimately copies a startup infringing on their patents (think about the Snapchat/Instagram feature battle), and the startup sues Facebook. They then have their react license revoked and can no longer use WordPress. The same thing applies with React native.

On the other hand, I do understand Facebooks reasoning. I'll definitely be watching this over time and hope that a legitimate solution will arise.

...which is even less secure.
> The Russian security services were also known to flood the U.S. embassy in Moscow with electromagnetic radiation. They would beam concentrated microwaves and electronic pulses at the Embassy in an attempt to eavesdrop on U.S. typewriters and conversations. In the 1970s, a U.S. Ambassador contracted and died of a blood disease that many assumed to be a result of the attacks.

This goes both ways.

From what I remember there was _exactly_ the same case reported of the US security services blasting Soviet embassy in Washington with EM radiation, which led to several cases of blood cancer in personnel, all of which were ultimately lethal.
But at that point the third party website might have already accessed those cookies.

Because the person who pushes the code to the public repo is not the same person who makes sure it isn't malicious. You have a review process. Nothin is stopping me right now from creating a PyPI package called Django2.0 and having some poor souls download it. Or creating a tiny but useful utility, having it become popular, then introducing an update with a backdoor.
I really prefer different windows to having one window with tabs. Esp for tailing logs. I guess I dont use a small laptop screen though.
Indeed they did try that with a patch, but it had unintended consequences with "regular" movement feeling clunky, so they reverted it. It seems bunny hopping is a tightly linked side-effect of the set of physics rules that make those games "feel" good.

Cassini has an RTG, so a crash into something like Encaladus could potentially create a nice warm little oasis for Earth bacteria to live in. A few decades and some on the fringes of this oasis might adapt - there's believed to be liquid water there.

Don't have to out-compete if there's nothing there, and being similar to Earth life wouldn't let us rule it out - rocks from asteroid impacts are known to have travelled between Earth and Mars, so it's not outrageous for one to have travelled between Earth and Saturn.
The way I see it there's a whole spectrum of methods for checking program correctness.

On the one end are "point tests", manually written tests that check correctness in several predetermined cases. That's what most software engineers mean by "testing".

Then comes randomized tests/fuzz testing/QuickCheck where properties are defined to hold for all values of some variables and then can be checked on randomly generated values. This offers better correctness guarantees than manually created "point tests" but might still miss failing cases since it's sampling and not exhaustively searching through the whole space.

Finally, on the far end are proofs, where one formally proves that the formerly mentioned properties always hold. I cannot imagine a stronger guarantee that something holds than an actual mathematical proof of it.

Dependently typed languages (Agda, Idris, Coq, Lean, etc) push software development into that far end where correctness can actually be proved. Imo that's where the future of software lays for certain classes of programs where correctness is a must.

Here's a proof of the original question in Lean:

def foo : (λ x, 2 * x) = (λ x, x + x) :=
begin
apply funext, intro x,
cases x,
{ refl },
{ simp at *,
dsimp [has_mul.mul, nat.mul],
have zz : Π a : nat, 0 + a = a := by simp at *,
rw zz }
end

> Patreon can't literally be replaced in the legendary "HN denizen claims to be able to replace $X in a weekend", because dealing with taking payments takes longer than that.

Stripe literally has an offering just for this use case: https://stripe.com/connect

You could literally replace it with a weekend Hackathon.
Well sure, but from an asymptotic approach both unsorted and sorted are "linear", so asymptotics don't necessarily provide enough information to answer GP's question.
Ohh ok. Thanks. Great to know.
A deeply arrogant and ignorant notion. If you think this was about FUD you really don't understand why people protest React as a core component inside WordPress. Most people are well aware that they are unlikely to get into any kind of legal dispute with Facebook or otherwise. Nor is it an issue that Facebook chooses to license React the way it wants. And the majority are against software patents.
I actually think this would be a very good interview question for someone who would be working on performance critical C++ software (maybe not for an entry-level position though), branch-prediction is something that anyone working in that domain should understand at least the basics of and it could quite easily open up the conversation to other hardware or optimisation topics.
units(1) is my go-to calculator for everything. Really nice tool. I recommend

because the verbose output is much less ambiguous.
In high school (2+ decades ago), we had to take some skills assessment exam that purported to suggest a good career for us. I don't remember what mine said, but a friend revealed that his recommended job was "clerk".

no. react solves no real problems. stick with vanilla
90 hours/week = 18 hours/day (assuming 5-day work week). That leaves only 6 hours for other chores, travel and sleep. This is not sustainable.

So I'll assume people who can pull off a 90-hour work week work all 7 days of the week which would amount to 13 hours/day. That still leaves sufficient time for a 7-hour sleep and 4 hours of chores and entertainment.

Now, if you are your own boss where you decide the scope and the deadlines, the work is going to be fun and I can understand that you would not mind working 13 hours/day. But I don't think working 13 hours/day for a boss or a company that considers me a cost in a business transaction of buying my skills is going to be fun.
I don't, as such. But a grandparent made a claim of their position: "It's not the position of the FSF who actually wrote the license."
If Patreon was doing nothing but a processing payments, I would agree with you. But it's also a platform for delivering the content that patrons are paying for, providing a space for discussion among patrons and creators, and other features that facilitate building a community. I have no idea if the actual costs of developing and maintaining that infrastructure actually approach 5% of total patron contributions, but I find it acceptable that 95 cents of my dollar goes to the creator and 5 cents goes to maintaining the infrastructure that makes the whole thing possible.

Yes, you could technically use Patreon as nothing more than a payment processor by hosting all your stuff elsewhere and just linking to it from Patreon. But you still have to pay for that hosting, either directly or indirectly via ads. And part of the point of Patreon is to move away from ad-supported funding models. Of course, you currently have no choice but to use external hosting for some types of content, like videos, that Patreon can't host directly. But even then you still get all the community-building benefits of Patreon (and with YouTube comments being notoriously bad, providing a separate comment section might be a significant value-add). I wouldn't be surprised if Patreon added video hosting in some form in the future, probably via a partnership as they have done with streaming video.
I think parent comment wanted something more like First-Party Isolation (privacy.firstparty.isolate and privacy.firstparty.isolate.restrict_opener_access in about:config, use with caution - it will break things, including breaking Cookie Auto-Delete extension)

Since the job description includes 70-80 hours I expect that they are paying more. It would be normal to assume a 70/40 or 80/40 pay rate, that is, about twice the normal rate for a leading edge programmer. So, base salary should probably start north of $500,000 per year. And those hours will require working both at work and at home so you should expect a fully funded home-office and half-coverage of your rent. I'm willing to bet that won't happen.
We're not the authors of those packages. But we own many others.

GPS+Smartphones killed any special skills that drivers needed, so Uber/Lyft wages are being driven down to McDonalds levels, because there is no barrier to entry, and the flexibility provided by Lyft/Uber is actually helpful to people who are already working at a part time job that has shitty unpredictable hours.

And if one of these companies goes under, expect wages to fall further because they do not need to compete with the other.
