I've personally been inconvenienced by this abandoned property issue too.

I agree 100% with the "it is their problem let them discover and fix it" resolution.

Received 4+1 devices, contacted seller, shipped back, somehow I ended up paying for their shipping fee. Could have re-contacted them, did not, retained grudge instead.
Why do you think that I think this would target republicans?

Both “right-leaning” and “left-leaning” people in the United States pretty clearly quality as violence-supporting fuckheads, so I am fine with this being applied universally.
I think that is the way it is framed, but as the OKCupid user base bleeds out those users are most likely turning to Tinder as it has more people. OKCupid has actually lifted some features off of Tinder which makes no sense as they're owned by the same parent company which is kind of shooting itself in the foot with this approach.

Anecdatally, I know people who have had long term relationships off of Tinder, some still together. I imagine that people will continue migrating over to Tinder from OKCupid.
Pppplease... We promise we will not consume it. :)
The question is not whether the US should be subject to oversight, the question is "does WikiLeaks intend to push a deliberate agenda with their disproportionate targeting of the US?"

You would be naive to take for granted that WikiLeaks is acting exclusively out of principle.
No, because it got nothing to do with technology. They aren't cool enough to be a tech company.
Really depends on where you live, though. If you make 75k-100k in the Bay Area, you're far from wealthy, I believe poverty line was 100k for a family of 4 there as of this year.

100k in Dallas is a different conversation though.
Bosch wants to be far more than just the “T” in the “Internet of Things”
Bitcoin can change it's own code whenever it wants, its not a static thing, it can become a better solution.
If this is true, the future will be sad. The next time someone will discover a real problem, people will ignore it.
Apple does it great. You get accurate (usually with any errors in favour of pessimism) estimates of lead times and delivery dates, and with AppleCare servicing or replacement of items has always gone super-smooth for me.
Just imagine the cost for providing five-nines on that service.
You're not wrong. Something is off in southeast Michigan. I blame the insane legacy of racial segregation. And the dreary environment. I mean, look at the article...

>When we reached the end of the hall, Ford welcomed me into his office, a midcentury wooden cavern with a fish tank built into one wall and a panoramic view of Dearborn along the other. The dreary vista stood in stark relief with the golden-era artifacts in Ford’s office...
These things will need to cope with the presence of real humans, or else it's never gonna work. See how far this attitude of "the computers would be fine if it weren't for the stupid pesky humans" takes you.

I'm assuming mrkurt meant that you send your users once to create a dns record (in case you haven't already) - you can add any hostname you want on Fly, it doesn't have to exist, yet. Then you go and create a DNS challenge for Let's Encrypt. Obviously, these 2 steps are orthogonal, but this is the reality of user onboarding.
Oh my God. I love this question. I worked for Ford 25 years ago (in manufacturing). Great company. But some managers argued with a straight face that we were NOT a technology company. Which can be translated to we don't need to follow best software development practices and can get a way with doing a half assed job.

Now days, every large company is a technology company. If you need to manage 1000s of retail stores you are a technology company. If you manage 100,000s of SKUs you are a technology company. You cannot operate on a large scale without being really good at technology. It is an attitude.

Ironically, I recently joined a large company where senior technical leaders are of this opinion. No wonder projects take years to be completed. Next time I will ask this on interview.

Calling people "anti-driverless car jerks" is also not helpful.
> Is it internally rewriting to a loop

Yes. You add a `tailrec` modifier to your function. The compiler then checks if the last op in the function is a call to itself. If it is, it gets replaced with a loop. If not, you get a warning that `tailrec` is ignored.
Are you sure? Sounds like a crowdsourced surveillance dystopia to me.

What if driverless cars reported every jaywalker too?
So no one can point out close-mindedness without also being close-minded? Seems a bit close-minded.
I have sort of an underlying philosophical theory that open-source projects that start out as attempts to clone a popular commercial package will ultimately fail. The reasoning goes like this: even if you achieve a good clone, the commercial project will move along and you will not be able to keep up. Your desire to catch a user-base that is resistant to change will actually encourage you to not keep up, as at first this looks like a kind of success, but then a few years down the road you will realize that you are terrible behind.

As an example, look at LibreOffice. It is widely marketed by OSS enthusiasts as "just like Office" and "just as good as Office," but it struggled to meet feature parity while remaining stable early on. Then, MS transitioned Office to the Ribbon UI. This was absolutely hated by a fairly large group of users, and it became a marketing point, at least in my circles, for LibreOffice that it had not made such a transition. This pulled in more users and looked like a success story. Years later, though, Office users have adapted to the Ribbon UI and discovered its advantages, and when you compare Office to LibreOffice, LibreOffice seems hopelessly out of date.

I think KDE is another example of this phenomenon as it was commonly seen as the best way to transition from Windows. But as a project it seriously struggled to retain interest after Microsoft continued to evolve their desktop environment in big ways, and now that I think they've successfully divorced themselves from any "clone of Windows" objectives they're still not really able to make up for the lost steam.

For just a last example, I would point to The GIMP, which has successfully navigated the transition from "a kind of clone of Photoshop" to "a kind of clone of a very old version of Photoshop."
TLDR Econ 101. Supply and demand is an immutable law.
Aside from the necessity of the comments, I notice they have many comment blocks that are to the right of the code block, but left-aligned to some column number. Is this easy in some editor? I can't imagine doing this in vim without some extra fanciness in the vimrc, for example.

Do you really want anyone to answer that question on HN?

and king county was 72% for Clinton, and Seattle was even more tilted that way.
I don't like Common Core because it attempts to solve a problem that does not exist. The way we learned math was sufficient to enable us to build atomic bombs and go to the moon, all with slide rules for the most part. It has a proven history of working and working well.

The math shown in this article as well as much common core does not provide the user/student with understanding. Instead, they are taught incantations and rituals to get to an answer. This is a recipe for a society of math illiterates. Who is pushing this and why do they want such a society?

Common Core is not a better system than the one taught for a hundred years in this country. If you disagree, I would love to see the evidence. I'm sure before such a huge change was made to our educational system, there must be MOUNTAINS of such evidence that was presented. No? Not really?

If you run a coffee shop where Nazis regularly come to hang out, hold their group meetings, spread their propaganda, etc all while wearing swastika tee shirts, people will call your shop a Nazi coffee shop, and they will be very right to do so - even if you swear that you are not a Nazi and are just doing your best to protect freedom of expression.

This is what Twitter and Facebook are today (Twitter will even hide these accounts in their German digital coffee shop, where spreading Nazi propaganda is illegal, but are fine letting it be for the rest of the world).
Probably because of this weird Midwestern attitude towards salaries.

An engineer earning a $250k+ salary is seen as greedy in these parts. You can witness this from Michiganders right here in this thread. There are a few posts here about how $250k is a ridiculous salary in Michigan and is completely unnecessary.

Ford will likely go bankrupt or be acquired if they fail to stay competitive in autonomous vehicle research. Since there's only a handful of people in the world capable of keeping them relevant, these people are worth literally billions of dollars to Ford and trillions to the Michigan/Ohio/Indiana economies.

Ford should have no problem paying these people millions and advertising that fact.
Thanks for making this!
If you like this, try Sorcery!, the mobile apps (and books, I think) it's based on. They are also quite good.
s-curves look exponential when you're in the middle of the curve.

It's true that animal populations peak (s-curve) when they hit resource limits (ie: carrying capacity of the environment). But our population has slowed because of education (in particular, education of women)... it's an effect thats been repeated all over the world.

If it were resource limits, we would see things like famine (killing the excess members of the population), rampant disease (which becomes easier to spread when people are closer to each other), etc. We're definitely not there in the developed world; and the 3rd world isnt there either, since they have some of the highest reproductive rates.
I agree this is what people who teach common core think they're teaching. The garbage they're actually "teaching" is not this.

You should also consider the time it would take the company to correct the mistake and whether it's actually worth their time to do so. I'm reminded of this [1] answer on Stack Exchange that sometimes going through customer support costs a company more than they get back from the resolution.

The fact that there is a grey zone does not mean that there aren't also black and white zones. It more interesting to think about the grey zones, but it's easier to get things done in the back and white zones.
Oh crap... yeah. I meant O(N^3) and O(6^M). If both are varied - O(N^M), if both are increasing with same order of magnitude, then complexity can be written as O(N^N) which is O(N! * e^N / sqrt(N))
Thanks for you insight.

I agree that it is not easy to 'parameterise the metal', but it is certainly doable in D[1], in C++ (guessed from the std::thread) good lord no: D's is orders of magnitude ahead of C+'s meta-programming. Writing different versions of a kernel is a poor mans parameterisation ;)

LDC, the LLVM D Compiler, will be getting a dynamic re-optimisation, which I hope to get to play nicely with DCompute. Well PTX, because SPIR-V doesn't yet have a jit backend. Dynamic re-optimisation from what I understand is freeze some variables as constants and rerun the optimisation passes. This is as opposed to recompilation with complete restructuring of the kernel. Not quite the same but for things like loop counts and branch "prediction" this should help a lot.

w.r.t USE_HOST_PTR/COPY_HOST_PTR, that's not a part of the kernel parameterisation, that's part of the host and is easily adjustable. Yes you need to figure our which one to use, but that's just part of tuning.

> What I'm saying is - I no longer believe in easy to use abstractions for these purposes.

I hope to be able to show you otherwise :)

In my opinion, the most tedious part of writing this sort of thing from scratch is the x86/x86-64 instruction encoding. Grab the Intel/AMD manuals or an opcode database and have fun. Other projects to study: LLVM, dynasm, asmjit, peachpy, luajit jit, Intel XED, etc.

Interesting article. However:

"Rent increases, which were measured in the double digits eighteen months ago, have gone negative."

I call those kind of increases: decreases.
It's interesting reading the comments to see how one proposed "humanly curated" alternative (PBS kids) has been discarded as "not being free" yet people are up in arms that Youtube Kids is not using humans to curate their videos. These 2 requirements are in contradiction. I don't know if it's even profitable to have a lot more humans reviewing Youtube Kids videos while keeping the service "free" (ad based) but even if we assume that may still be profitable it's pretty clear it will be significantly less profitable then it is now which means that Google (a company not known to be shy from shutting down services with tons of users) may simply shut it down and move to do something else where they can get higher profit.

If the market/technology does exist where someone else could do a better job then there would be many alternatives, it's not like Youtube Kids has some lock in mechanism.

PS: the self-driving moral decision comparison in the article seems baseless, I very much doubt anyone developing self-driving algorithms are considering "moral decisions", there is no moral decision to be made, the car will try to stop (in its lane) as fast as it can if it detects an obstacle, it won't try to swerve (after performing some imagined moral decision algorithm) because that would be illegal and it potentially increases liability of the software manufacturer.

This is why we all use AltaVista and Friendster from our PalmOS phones.

That line of reasoning is especially risky in finance: right now, very few people are invested in Bitcoin. If it became popular, all of the early users would become very rich. The major players all know this and I find it extremely unlikely that they wouldn't make a serious play to avoid that line of money going to someone else. Say a few major banks, Apple/Google/Square/Venmo, etc. setup a competitor: on day one it'd be accepted by orders of magnitude more vendors and they'd presumably have paid attention to the endemic security, reliability, and performance concerns. How many people have enough of a stake in Bitcoin that they wouldn't jump ship – hundreds, maybe thousands?

It always amuses me when I come across the occasional "stupid tourist" story on the internet about Niagara Falls and visitors asking if they turn the falls off at night. It's always presented as, ha ha, idiots don't realize this is a natural phenomenon, not something you can just turn on and off. In fact, they turn it down (but not off) every night so that more electricity can be generated.
"O righteous crusaders for truth, if this girl was put in front of you, would you tell her?"

Maybe yes. Along with the fact that her fake father dreams about telling her the truth, but is afraid to do so.
So then they can maybe have a real relationship and see each other whenever they want to and not only when her mother pays him to be professional.

Because clearly both have a real connection.

Btw. is he not scared of openl publishing all this? Or does no one in japan reads english magazines?
In business when people talk about a "tech" company it is not about technology but an industry classification. And the reason everyone wants to be a tech company is because the trade at higher earnings multiples than most other industries (i.e. they are worth more). Usually this is because they have higher growth rates and require few inputs and assets to generate their revenue. Companies like Ford are pretty much the opposite of that.
Open Letter to Tech Companies: Please Raise Your Bar
What is happening is that they are telling you to restart it and to call back later because that's there main goal, to get you off the phone asap in any way possible. Most of the time you get the "authorization" when the call center is not as busy and the rep is allowed to take time (with you on hold) to fill out the return info and follow through with what they should have done during the first call.

I wouldn't get angry at the rep, it's the managers that pressure this kind of behavior in full force, if it's busy and you are on the phone for more then 4 mins, a manger comes over and stands behind you and tells you what to say to end the call even if it doesn't make sense and guaranties the customer has to call back...

To get the best level of service you have to call when it's not so busy. Never call on a Monday or early in the morning, that's when it's the most busy. Slow times are Wed-Fri 1:30pm to about 6pm then anytime after 10pm. Sundays are a good bet if the place is open, although usually most of the reps that work on the weekend are new/less skilled hence prone to make more mistakes.

1) What Liberal? Who brought that up?

2) You clearly respect/look up to the "Elitist Hacker Rank"

3) You admit they are better than you (in this instance) then say you know better than them. They are dumb because you see something they don't.

4) They think the exact same about you.

5) The irony of a conservative not understanding supply/demand - when calling out liberals is hilarious.

I always like to come to a Dr's appointment with a "sealed envelope" ... what I think the problem is, but not to mention it until they get through with their diagnosis.

Yes doctor, no doctor, I don't think so doctor, yes doctor also my left foot. => He thinks I have a sprained ankle, I think I'm not sleeping well (or whatever) and I'll mention what my guess is at the end (not before) and ask him why my guess is (presumably) wrong.

Of course if you think there's something unusual or your symptoms are severe then of course go to the doctor without delay, but it's also helpful to get a bit of a personal education when you've got time with a specialist.

Fun fact: Eiji Toyoda got a lot of his quality ideas FROM Ford in 1950! Toyota (the company) then relentlessly pursued continuous improvement, to the point where Ford (and every other OEM) had to re-learn what quality meant.

One should take early Toyota stories with a grain of salt, as there may be more than a little bit of hagiography.
Well, since it is a buisness and beeing professional it is OK for him.

So I would only think it is fake, because he openly speaks about it. Advertisement I suppose, but counterproductive for his clients. But maybe he also don't want to put it up anymore and just focus on the management part?

That there was ever a debate at all is still astounding. Economics has fuzzy areas, but basic principles of supply and demand are very well-established. It's clearly nonsensical to imagine that we can simultaneously lower prices, limit supply, and allow for demand growth. The longevity of this bizarre idea demonstrates how strongly political ideas of how the world ought to work blind us to how the world does work. We'd do well to take the wool from our eyes in other contentious disputes.
SpriteMate: Pixel Art Editor (.NET, WinForms)
Yes, that's my point. It is premature optimization, because you do not have a use case for such performance. Instead you might want Python's extensive numerical libraries, or you enjoy its quick prototyping capacities. The same way that you do not always go for C, and sometimes prefer Go, because of non performance related requirements.

That's why saying a compiled performant language should be default is not logic I understand. Default should be whatever you need for your requirements. If you don't need anything special, just go with what you already know well.
