1. How long have you been waiting to use that in a sentence?

2. German has a word for everything. "My car misfires when I am in second gear and accelerating in a corner that is greater than 45° and on an incline." There is a German word for exactly that.

Anyhow, we really could use more words for snow. I've seen stuff falling from the sky that there are no words for. Some of it doesn't defies even simple phrases.

As I've said before, I love snow. I do live here for a reason.

There are no words for this slush-like substance that falls from the sky, sometimes as small clumps but other times in clumps large enough that you can hear them hit the ground. This happens usually when the air temp is just a bit above freezing, it is warmer down in the valley than it is here, and the higher air remains pretty warm until there is a cut-off a few thousand feet above you and the air gets much colder. Also, it tends to be high ambient moisture content to the point where you have a moderately dense fog.

There's probably a German word for that, but there's none in English and I doubt the Inuit people have one either.

Seriously, there is a lot of different types of snow. I didn't realize there were this many until I retired and moved here. Now I know...

By the way, the locals would call that 'the start of a good old fashioned New England shit-storm.' It often ends with frozen rain or sleet. I could go on for hours about the different types of snow. 100 words wouldn't even begin to cut it.
Even if your assertion is true (and I've seen some codebases that would certainly put it to the test) on what grounds is spending an indeterminate (likely nontrivial) amount of time groveling a codebase with search preferable to having the code at least somewhat organized and documented in the first place?
Apple is building this so they don’t have to give you a battery at all.

I’m always confused by people complaining about iPhone battery life. My wife’s iPhone 6 lasts days, it’s called a battery pack. And she gained this incredible battery life without forcing me to carry a heavier bulkier iPhone. That’s what Apple understands, making their devices heavier and thicker to please a minority of users while inconveniencing the majority makes no sense when battery packs exist.
DXpeditions aren't based in island locations because HF propagates better over water, they're based in island locations because those are the locations that people haven't tended to log, as they're entities that don't have any people (or have people, but no ham operators) living on them and thus need to be "activated" for someone to count them as contacted.
Meanwhile Facebook has added tons of features that no one wanted based on pure speculation and they've done much better. People will change how they use Twitter as Twitter changes. If that weren't true, no one would care about this.
I'm glad we don't work together, I'd surely get you fired. ;)
at that point it would just be a corporation with a monopoly on the legitimate use of force, right?
That's a slightly different issue: the issue with solving normal equations directly is that the condition number of X^\top X is the square of the condition number of X, so it's much more significant than lu-vs-inv. It can matter a great deal for ill-conditioned linear regression problems where some features resemble each other.
Some difference, yes.

But in the mid-90s, I worked at AOL, and I was there during a period of very high growth. I did my 72-hour workdays where I spent two nights in a row working straight through in the office. I did the on-call schedule. I did the 100+ hour workweeks.

I did the calculations once, and with all the stock options I started with, plus the additional ones I got later, after all the splits, I could have gotten as much as 16 million bucks, if I had sold them all at peak.

At the time AOL, was a pretty damn big employer. And it had become a toxic enough environment that I could no longer continue to stay there. So, I ended up leaving almost all of that money on the table when I left.

I’ve worked long hard hours in various employers since, but never again quite the levels we saw at AOL. And I’ve never gotten anywhere remotely close to those kinds of options/money again. But I’m okay with that, because I’ve had some amazing experiences in my life, worked with some fantastic people, and gone to some wonderful places.

But it is possible to work at a place that is both monstrously big and also at high compensation levels, even down in the trenches. Sure, you won’t make billions that way, but you could actually make millions.
Awesome. Glad to have a first-hand source.
Employment is not thus defined. If I am a salesman responsible for 1 particularly important client for my company and spend almost all my time at the client's office, am I suddenly the client's employee, and they should pay me decent wages?
I gave Class Central a try and searched for Kubernetes. First, it took quite a while to load, up to the point I was thinking the site was down. Then I had difficulty finding the tiny search button located at the top. When I started typing, a list of courses started appearing, but hitting the blue button List All returned me back to the home page. I tried for a second time and hit Enter instead, which presented me a list. Then a very annoying Popup appeared that I could not dismiss for at least 10seconds how much I tried hitting the X. This popup later appeared several more times, then the dismiss worked immediate. The top listed item was an advertisement that was a. not related b. almost not discernible as an advertisement. I clicked on the third item and came to this page https://www.class-central.com/institution/linuxfoundation which wasn't what I looked for, I probably hit the wrong link with my finger as links are very close to each other. Went back and now more carefully hit the correct link. It looked interesting so I hit the big green button only to be greeted by my browser that This page was blocked because of a filter, at which point I gave up.

I suggest Class Central that they hire themselves a proper UX designer.
I am turned off of this article as the author is trying very hard to make the reader disdain the character Donnelly.

The author paints Donnelly's motivation for every action as pitiable, entitled or arrogant. It would be better if the article would explain why he is somebody that we should not like.
That's not at all useful, nor is it relevant.
> camera with Bluetooth

Enjoy your Blueborne security vulnerabilities. Because I'm sure you'll easily get a firmware update from Nikon from your 5 year old camera.

Also, since Apple breaks Bluetooth in pretty much every iOS release, something tells me you're not going to have fun trying to use your iPhone with your camera. Especially since cameras are designed to last decades, not a 2 year max like phones.
SEC yield already includes expenses, so it's just 2.99%. (The actual dividend yield is 3.08%. I don't know where the other .06% comes from, but IANAA).
The great thing about ham radio is that if you don't like what you're hearing, you can just keep spinning the dial. In my experience (NYC metro area), I hear very little politics on the ham bands. There are also CW and digital modes which tend to draw people with more than five brain cells. I know there are a couple infamous HF frequencies where some reality-challenged folks tend to congregate, but there is much more to the hobby than that QRM.
Surely they set the word limit afterwards, yes?
Do you mean wolfram alpha?
> They are rouge/orange/rouge in French (translation: green/orange/red).

My French is nonexistent, but there's a typo here, right? Should that be vert/orange/rouge?
Yeah I ran cloc on a few projects I'm very familiar with, and shell scripts that are interpreted with bash but not with a shebang because they're libraries sourced by others are called Bourne too. Just explaining what OP was getting at :)
The aril (i.e. the red seed covering) is the only part of the yew tree which isn't poisonous.
That's what I thought. Eclipse for Java is still a really really good IDE which does everything. I think this is targeted towards the full stack engineers who occasionally move between IDE's.
Apple is pushing the privacy angle pretty strongly now, and I can't really blame them. It's a key differentiator between them and their chief competitor.

The phones are good on their own, but when choosing between having every action tracked and keeping some things to yourself, unsurprisingly a lot of people want privacy. Here's hoping their marketing can help ordinary people who wouldn't normally care about privacy see why it's important (and maybe score some wins for privacy at the polls in the future!)
I'm in tears reading this, what an excellent article, thank you for sharing
RNNoise: Learning Noise Suppression
A case of red-green colour blindness? It should indeed be vert/orange/rouge
You're just mincing words. The author(s) is upfront about the source distribution and licensing and is not being misleading, as the GP implied. I'm really not interested in yet another discussion about definitions when the author's meaning is perfectly clear.
Ask HN: How to stay motivated at job when your boss makes 90x your salary?
It's frustrating because he expects me to keep similar hours (10 hours in the office per day) and be "on-call" after work - because "that is what he does"

But he also makes 90x my salary, and I almost make 6 figures.

There are only a few of us that report to him.

It's a good position, but the way the company is structured and his history in the company, I could never be promoted to his position. I also lack the qualifications.

The best I could do is a lateral move. I'd still probably need at least a Master's degree, which I do not have.

So at work I sometimes think about trying to advance myself, but I feel stuck.
Let’s take a look at Apple’s latest flagships – iPhone 8 and 8 Plus review
If it’s anything like TouchID, the sensor authenticates itself to the secure enclave with a unique private key burned into ROM. Any data not signed by this key (possibly even countersigned with a real-time code from the secure enclave to prevent replay attacks) will be rejected. Just ask anyone who replaced their home button on an iPhone with TouchID.
Even given good amounts of time engineers often skip tools that could catch some bugs. Examples, TLA+, fuzzers, full code coverage etc.

Sadly all things are economic, so we apply the tools where the cost of a bug is high. In the case of 911, its very high but underfunded. In the case of some consumer app, its (presumably) very low...
The QR dovetail would be metal. Most high end cameras have metal shells on the bottom, and that's really what Thom is writing about: high end cameras.

EDIT: and it would not stick out awkwardly on the bottom. It would be engineered as part of the shape of the camera itself, while keeping a flat bottom that sits level, with the 1/4 threaded socket.
Impressive to see a detailed page dedicated to affirming privacy as a "right". One of my first thoughts was, "it'd be nice to see a white paper" -- which Apple does when you get to the bottom of the "Approach to Privacy" page (linked to from the submitted URL): https://www.apple.com/privacy/approach-to-privacy/

There's a link to an iOS security white paper that was published in March 2017. And there's one for FaceID. Not sure how if any of the info was previously unknown, but the paper's publish date is September 2017: https://images.apple.com/business/docs/FaceID_Security_Guide...
As far as prior art on the receiving side lets not forget about good old fashioned crystal radios https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio
Since we don’t need a 355 ship navy I’m cool with this. I only hope we cancel a couple $10B carriers soon.
It looks cool but I don't understand why this needs to be an app. I'd have guessed 'offline reading' as a bonus but it needs network permissions so...?
I really struggled with my most recent phone purchasing decision but ended up sticking with iOS because, despite how much I love the customizability of Android, I feel like the stance Apple has taken on privacy over the last few years is something I want to support.

I understand that for them it may just be a business decision and differentiator, but it is one that is important enough to me to keep me on their platform.
What I don't like about plugin system is security. You install extensions from the internet which have full access to your computer including the source code you're working with. Personally, I wouldn't trust any extension or plugin not provided by a major company.
In the UK it's Amber. I can't remember ever hearing yellow.
Is this design analog or digital? If it's analog, all those issues are replaced by static noise, which could very probably be largely mitigated by amplification power and possibly audio processing on the transmitting side.
For several reasons it's more likely that the IMBHs are in clusters like the large Magellanic cloud (LMC) and in some galactic centres rather than far from the centres of galaxies. You can in principle have huge numbers of IMBHs without any of them being MACHOs, HO for halo objects. They can form by having lots of first generation stars collapsing into BHs in open clusters, with resulting many-body interactions knocking BHs into one another (a BBH merger that gives a big linear kick to the resulting BH during balding, for example).

We've looked for signs of black holes in our galaxy's halo (they would gravitationally lense nearby background objects like the LMC and M31 such that we could already pick out the distortions. Our galaxy may be unusual (Sag A* is fairly low-mass, for instance) but the density requirement for MACHO to be a large component of the flat rotation curve of most galaxies (ours being special) would seriously violate the Copernican principle. Moreover, it's really really hard to get a stable galactic evolution when you make MACHOs the sole invisible contributor to rotation curves.

Worst of all, baryon acoustic oscillations appear in the cosmic microwave background more and more clearly as we study it more closely, which effectively rules out large Jupiters/brown dwarfs/neutron stars, and nobody knows how to get enough black holes that survive billions of years when you have to have them already exist between reionization and recombination. But who knows, maybe we'll see a lot of signs of primordial BHs evaporating in halos by (big) surprise.

I dislike all of these too. But complaining about a "modal window asking for email which you can close" seems mean. The nagging and attention stealing is everywhere and you can easily ignore them or at least tell an alternative solution to these guys.
I think you are oversimplifying. The IR camera isn’t detecting “warm” (it’s not a FLIR camera), it’s detecting color in the IR range, which is going to be extremely characteristic of a face. In addition, a mask may copy appearance, but it’s not going to copy physical shape in detail. Finally, the channel between the sensor and secure enclave is likely encrypted and/or authenticated, so you can’t just inject any depth image.
Many people have been sleeping in the airport. On the floor. For days.
Yup.

That fact simply does not enter their consciousness at that time.

It only hits them when they’re on the other side of the table, and then it’s too late.

At least, that’s been my experience.
In principle you could have a two black holes orbiting each other in a region otherwise devoid of matter, but in practice there is usually a large amount of matter being heated to extreme temperatures in their vicinity. So, optically, it would look very dramatic even if the bare BHs don't emit light.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretion_disk

A 25 solar-mass BH is about 150km in diameter, and the gravitational waves emitted won't be appreciable until the two BHs had spiraled inward to a separation of a few hundred km. You would need to be roughly 1,000 km away to experience a 1% strain during the merger

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/235285/how-stron...

I don't think spin is important at the order-of-magnitude level (for naturally occuring BHs).
It's great that privacy advocates now have such a powerful ally as Apple. Even if it's only just for raising public awareness in that privacy online is important.

They are not perfect by any means, but it definitely takes the discussions about privacy, encryption and personal data protection away from the "don't be paranoid" or "just don't be a criminal" territory.
License plate scanning? Facial recognition? Cell phone tracking? Chemical / radiological sniffing?

Sure is odd to have a very public piece of infrastructure get erected over and over and yet not get an explanation about what it is.
Choosing the right storage for your OpenStack Cloud
From context I assume it's referring to offline recognition where there's no stroke order to work with.

I doubt it's anything to do with the fact that people are inconsistent about stroke order - that's true, but they're not that inconsistent and there's no reason a recognition system couldn't account for variations in order just as it does for other factors.
Oh no, they can compel you to enter your password. By which I mean, if you don’t enter it, they can hold you in contempt of court indefinitely (possibly even for longer than you would be held if you submitted to the search and were found guilty based on the evidence and received the maximum sentence).
But what if you use JS and Java?

Your choices are (1) pay for IntelliJ Ultimate (several hundred) or (2) switch between IDEs or (3) abandon the IDE idea for both languages.
How true is this? Is there any way to confirm what Apple says with respect to privacy? Serious question.
FICA contributions top out at $127k gross income. Someone earning $300k/year is paying the same amount in FICA as someone earning $127k. Which I actually think is unfair, but that's another topic entirely.

The standard deduction isn't the only deduction available.

If you're filing as a married couple and maxing out your 401k and/or IRA you're suddenly saving money and gasp down a couple of tax brackets. A married couple making $100k jointly, and both working jobs with benefits, could put away $36k/year in 401k money alone, which is more than enough for a comfortable retirement after 30 years (and I didn't even take into account any potential employer matching). A couple with one earner can save 23.5k (18k + 5.5k traditional IRA).

If you pay for health insurance, more deductions. Ditto for FSA benefits.

If you have eligible educational expenses (kid in school/college, spouse getting another degree etc), same thing.

If you have receive commuter benefits through work (buying a parking or public transit pass)...you guessed it. (weirdly this is the only deduction you can take for FICA, which is otherwise calculated on gross income).

If you're itemizing deductions, there's mortgage interest, state tax, property tax, charitable contributions, car registration fees. I'm sure I'm missing more here because I don't itemize.

The point I'm making is, no one takes just the standard deduction. If you're going to add all the other taxes in, you really should count all the deductions you can take too. Add all that in and there's no way you should be paying anywhere close to 30%.
> There are some religious groups that calculate if they can get each of their members to have 8 children, they will become the majority of the population in like 2 generations.

Who are these groups? Do you refer to the "Quiverfull" movement?
Yeah, O3 is a much more prototypical blue than N4 anyway.

I think this chart would definitely have an impact on the results of this study, though I suspect they have some reasoning. I'm not sure how seriously I take the results if this is the chart.

>nor every individual BGP4 update.

@tptacek, can you explain that? Without signing AS path changes with BGPSEC you get path-lengthening and path-shortening attacks which work just as well as subprefix hijacks.

BGP hijacking is still a massive problem and RPKI alone isn't close to enough to fix it.
Once you pick a file, I'm fairly certain that the metadata is made available as a JavaScript Blob object containing any relevant metadata (this is how Facebook geotags uploaded photos)

That's interesting, because as a long time android user (I had an iphone 3G back in the day when it was one gen old, android since then), I'm going to struggle when it comes time to replace my Galaxy S6. Not only does Google make it hard by only offering high-end stock phones now (Pixel), Apple stepping up their commitments to privacy (not just this, but everything the last few years) has really helped counteract the bad taste I get from some of their policies.

Thanks for the response.

I think you might find this post I wrote in Pando a while back interesting: https://pando.com/2014/01/13/dont-build-a-product-unless-you...
Eclipse and NetBeans still exist, and both understand JS.

This is an important point, but I don't think it's insurmountable for a broader group of people.

Though technically not required, I think it helps to know a good deal of mathematical theory as well in order to check properties that should hold, which helps in tracking down subtle bugs. In my experience, tracking these bugs is a royal pain in the ass and writing good tests for these properties is tedious. Even then, there's a lot of funny stuff that goes on. One of my favorites is that it's possible to take the Choleski factorization of an indefinite matrix in some situations. That means it's not safe to use a Choleski to check for whether or a not a matrix is positive definite for mission critical functions:

https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/a/26223

But, anyway, mostly I contend that writing these algorithms is extremely tedious, so there's not that many people with the patience. I also still maintain that there's room for contribution here. Although most often these routines are written in C and Fortran, the parallel tooling for these languages is less sophisticated than that of modern languages. I've been wondering whether a language like Rust would make it easier to code and parallelize some of these algorithms.
Is this sarcasm? "rule the developer world" when Emacs/Vim still exist and are much more portable and battle tested?

Playboy magazine is really a different era for most of those on HN. I can remember at age 14 riding my bicycle to the Cunningham's drug store, waiting until the MSU coeds were manning the counter to buy my copy of the magazine. The older ladies who worked days would not sell the magazine to someone under 21.

It seems so incredibly quaint to explain that to someone who didn't live in those times. As much as I loved that magazine as a kid I don't think I've bought a copy of the magazine for over 35 years.
