If you dig a little deeper you'll discover that there are many folks (especially in the US) who think that the KJV was divinely inspired. So, alas, your argument, which also applies to many other important parts of the Bible, is well known and is unlikely to convince anyone from that camp.

I didn't expect anything, but your comments still let me down, and I find you annoying.
The idea is that up until some number of relations (8 by default, IIRC) the join tree is searched exhaustively, then it switches to the genetic algorithm. So it's kinda automatic.
Not being in the US, not trusting PayPal and wanting absolutely nothing to do with any kind of blockchain currency.

It's interesting that we have much simpler payment methods available in the EU, but apparently EU people don't like to pay for things.
I'm kind of an outlier when it comes to development, but I really hate using OSX. One thing that makes it bearable for me (I have a mac at work), however, is that I can get exactly what I want with very little hastle using homebrew. I would like to add to this sentiment, on this turkey day, homebrew has my thanks.
There's a CONTRIBUTING.md file in the repo. Documentation is a little sparse, however. This is a useful reference: http://www.rubydoc.info/github/Homebrew/brew/Homebrew

Reading formulas of other software is useful too.
This guy has made himself an unlawful enemy combatant. His choice. No one forced him to join ISIS and participate in genocide.

This situation is defined by the Geneva Convention. When someone joins a fighting force with no flag, then they enter a kind of stateless situation. As far as the US is concerned, they are now subject to the president's war powers.

Do we really expect US soldiers to be trying to mirandize people on the battle field because they might turn out to be US citizens? What about preserving the chain of evidence and securing the crime scene?

Yes, this dude is now being held somewhere and not on a battle field, but how would any criminal prosecution have any chance of succeeding? It is absurd to look at this as some sort of criminal case.
You misunderstand. Even forgetting the UI, the Office programs are different between platforms. One know this, because functionality differs between platforms.
I think one of the main issues with 3D is that you are forced to focus on what the director intended you to focus on. This is not true in 2D, you can focus your eyes on a blurry area over the characters shoulder without a problem. It will be blurry but your eyes can focus on it. In 3D, your eyes try to bring that unfocused bit into focus like they can in regular 3D space and that's what causes the headaches/vertigo/eye strain.
Maybe it's the settings on my TV, or maybe it's due to my expectations, but I'm more consistently blown away at home than in a cinema. In a cinema I adjust to the 3D more quickly.

To name drop another movie, I'd highly recommend Dredd to anybody that has a 3D TV available.

One answer might be that it's a serious legal argument not under the FCC's purview. FCC has an interest in keeping communications media from discriminating, but anti-competitive behavior and many other aspects of what we think of as net neutrality fall under FTC instead. It was always a bit of a stretch for FCC to be taking the lead on this.

It might even be better to let FTC lead on this, because they have authority FCC does not to regulate parties other than the connectivity providers. For example, they can forbid Google from using their market position in other areas to gain a competitive advantage with their own connectivity services. They can keep a close eye on Netflix's attempts to compete with or blackmail providers over CDNs. That might be real network neutrality, not the one-sided vision heavily promoted by content providers.
You and me both! But apparently the IP is tangled in such a mess (Jackson Estate, Lucasfilm etc.) that it'd never be worth Disney's while to bother.

Dark matter and dark energy: do they really exist?
Gently confusing that the don't mention Australia until the third paragraph.
Congratulations, you just joined a fighting force with no flag that I just invented on the spot by writing these words in that order. You are now eligable to be detained indefinitely.
The question today is not whether 3D movies are viable, the question is whether the feature-film format is viable (90 minute three-act structure). Honestly I enjoy very few movies recently. We know exactly what's coming next, and when. Usually a big fistfight where good triumphs over evil.

Media is evolving (look at games, TV, youtube, and instagram). 3D will find it's place within the evolution of media.
This might be my misunderstanding, but isn't that pretty much the definition of collusion?
Note that under our current understanding of General Relativity, wormholes will rapidly collapse under their own gravity so quickly that not even a single photon would be able to traverse it because it closes off.

There's a theoretical way to stabilize it: put 'exotic matter' in the middle. Unlike all other matter, exotic matter has a negative energy density. This is the same sort of matter that would be needed to create an Alcubierre warp drive.

Unfortunately, we don't have any idea how to go about creating exotic matter. The closest we've come is the Casimir effect, when a region between two very close conductive plates will in some ways act as if there were negative energy.

Java - expressive type system ? The bar must have been set really low by Go...
Aside from the other responses you are getting, consider that the "90% less errors" doesn't actually tell you anything about the overall quality of either codebase. It could be a million lines of JS/TS with 10 errors found in the JS vs 1 in the TS. That would be a 90% reduction, but 10 errors in a large codebase would still be pretty excellent.
wealthy people become detached from each other and attached to objects. comfort and convenience are hard itches not to scratch; but the evolutionary mechanism which got us here swings the pendulum back towards the same type of group adaptation.

when information completely replaces food humans will be hunter gatherers again, that period won't last long (my personal hope, it could last millions of years!?) as great civilizations and empires will rise with the "new truth", expansion, border wars, dynasties, we've told this story already.

the animating force of human beings does not require a biological body (this is probably true for all living creatures), it requires a strategic approach, driven by flexibility and unreliable narration. should the process itself ever be completely understood, there is a high likelihood that a species would decide to terminate itself due to the inherent cruelty and stupidity of being alive, originally our emotional bias and presently our curiosity ensures we won't fall into that bottleneck.

in the short term, modern individualism will die the death of one thousand cuts. it's good in theory, in practice it makes people miserable. nobody aged 0-12 or 25-99 wants to be alone, wanderlust is a pollination mechanism, and that wind only has to blow you to the next tribe.
I separate synthetics because the dryer damages them and I don't want to do it when they're a wet mess.
Why wouldn’t a criminal prosecution have any chance of succeeding?
Yes. $600k base (80%) + 20% for hitting assigned targets.
Capitalism is amazing.
Unregulated capitalism is an dystopic nightmare.
My argument is that it takes a few hours to make a look and feel for swing that mimics the appearance of modern electron apps. Also that Qt has plenty of styling power. Blizzard's app is a "really bad app" just because you have a personal problem against it. It works pretty well on my PC (0.5% CPU and 130Mb ram) and I think it looks pretty nice.
AND not to mention it makes money for those who own the exchanges -- volatility == more transactions and hence transaction fees.
To me it is a utility argument: A wealthier household would receive "premium filtered water" through the plumbing while other homes that are paying the standard rate would be given filthy and untreated water through their plumbing. Does the water utility violate a law practicing this way? Because if it does, the same is true of Abolishing Net Neutrality.
I wonder how using error diffusion on the time axis would look, I guess it would stabilise the image a bit.
Not entirely. The documentation says you can interpret it that way, not that it's how the numbers were determined.

AFAIK it's much more "We're using those numbers as defaults because they seem to be working well," rather than "We did extensive benchmarking and these are the right values!"

You can measure how much slower random I/O is fairly easily. But the question is how to derive PostgreSQL cost parameters from that. Should you use the same assumption about 90% cache hit ratio (why?) or should you use some different value?
It is unlikely that both candidates will be opposed to NN. NN is part of the Democratic Party platform agreed upon at the 2016 Democratic National Convention: page 9 of http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/papers_pdf/117717.pdf

However, there are a few Democrats who have voted against NN in the past, or have indicated that they do not support it.

From this vote in 2016: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2016/roll152.xml

You have:

Jim Costa (CA-16)

Scott Peters (CA-52)

Collin Peterson (MN-07)

Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-09)

Albio Sires (NJ-08)

If you live in their districts, call up their office and tell them that you want them to change their tune on NN. Go to their town halls and tell them there.

There are also four Democratic Senators who listed as being part of 'Team Cable' according to this: https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2017-10-04-democrats-...

Again, if you live in their states (MI, MO, MT, or WV) call them up and tell their staffers that you want them to change their mind on NN and tell them why. Go to their town halls and tell them there.

Bemoaning your elected officials' choices without ever trying to influence them will not change anything.
FCC will also preempt state net neutrality laws
> First, the first film to make use of shifting depth of field was famously Citizen Kane in 1941 - before this, the ability to rack focus just wasn't a thing. Yet films 'worked' before Citizen Kane. To posit that films need this ability to 'work' is to discredit the first 40 odd years of film.

I think you're conflating the focus of the movie camera on the original scene with the focus of the cinema viewer's eyes on the projection screen.

What Murch is referring to is the focus "setting" of the human viewer being set to the distance to the projection screen. The focus of the movie camera and depth of field at that end has little to do with it.

His point is that the [2D] cinema viewer can sense the flat focus setting of the fixed distance to the projection screen, but at least other depth cues (such as parallax) are also fixed and therefore consistent. 3D viewing involves dynamic parallax but the focus distance to the projection screen remains fixed, and it is the difference that causes problems for the viewer.

The bokeh of the movie camera has nothing to do with this aspect.
No, that, _and_ that if let ... {} doesn't evaluate to anything; your function doesn't evaluate to anything even though it has a stated return type of Option.

I mean, this isn't hard to check, try compiling it.

I was saying it's misleading not only because it's wrong, but also because even if something is equivalent if you're trying to show how a feature works you want equivalent code that cleanly maps to the original; and isn't further reduced.
What effort people take to work at an obviously toxic company... the job market must be really bad.
Looking like ethereum is very mature technology these days, it's the companies and smart contracts that are built on ethereum that are a risk now, much like Bitcoin how we have centralization from having exchanges or wallets like coin base everyone uses.

So 720k total? That is in no way a common job that an average developer can feel comfortable about getting
I hated 3D movies at first. Then I watched Edge of Tomorrow twice: first in 3D and then in 2D. I stopped noticing that it was in 3D partway through the first time. When I watched the second time, I noticed a significantly muted emotional response when viewed in 2d.
Additionally I allocate a piece of memory and don't bother to release it, my program runs fine when I execute from the terminal, therefore I can regularly call my program as a subroutine and face no issues.
You are missing the point of unions. They aren't here for software engineers making couple hundred grand a year. They are here so that we don't have people losing limbs at work because the company was too cheap to do safety properly.

You aren't interested in the service, fine. But I'm not sure why you feel like you need to cry about unions when you aren't their target group anyway?
Isn’t it FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition)?

It’s kind of simplistic to say all you need is a good teleop period. In many competitions some teams that had worse teleop were picked because they could consistently score in autonomous, which is pretty good EV.
But you don't know which blocks you'll need at planning time, so you can't really check that.

You could of course check if the total database size is within RAM, but it's much more common to have database much larger than RAM (say 1TB on a machine with 128GB of RAM), but the actual working set (recent data processed by queries) is much smaller.
Doesn't that also happen when a 2D camera image changes focus? your eyes dart around at the new point: https://tadleckman.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/trooper_rack....

Maybe the 2D shifting depth of field is easier because you're more used to it.
Yes, IMO. Modular is advanced, but it's the purest, most fundamental way of synthesizing sound. Many people complain that they never see modular artists make normal subtractive patches (the typical VCO > VCF > VCA, modulated with ADSR envelope generators), but the truth is that you can make subtractive patches all day with modulars if you want, but they only comprise about 0.0001% of the sonic design space, so poeple usually explore other patches instead. So yes, you can use the modular format to learn synthesis and build easy or hard patches all alike. VCV Rack simulates at a voltage level, so you can "debug" patches with the Fundamental Scope if you're confused about exactly what a signal (CV or audio) is really doing.
You're welcome!

I think I should stress the point that people will pay more for stupid things such as lessons than they will for actually useful things. For example, you can charge twice as much for teaching people how to use Git than you can for actually implementing the frontend and backend for them.

People are really, really insecure about their own abilities. If you can position yourself in the market as someone who can help them with their insecurities, you're basically golden. It sounds a little .. dickish, but really ,you're doing everyone a favor. So many people get hung up in merely(?) having to make a decision. Making it for them it usually a big help.
The chain of evidence is tainted and inadmissible in court. Can't trust what you find at the crime scene because it wasn't protected. The guy wasn't read his rights. Good luck finding people willing to testify. He and his buddies probably killed them all.

This isn't a criminal situation. It's a war situation.
Ask HN: Repurchase Right on Vested Stock?
Hi HN,

I joined a startup a few months ago and my compensation includes a small amount of stock. The company recently provided a document for me to sign, which laid out the terms for the options they are granting me.

As part of this document, there is a clause describing a Repurchase Right for the company. According to this clause, the company is able to buy back at fair market value any quantity of my vested, exercised shares when I leave the company, or when I exercise my options after leaving the company.

Is this kind of arrangement common? Given that I have already accepted the offer and worked at the company for a few months, I don't think I have any ability to negotiate this. The offer letter specified that the options would be subject to this agreement, which I didn't realize or ask to read at the time, so I guess that's a lesson for me in acquiring every relevant document before signing.
And rust binaries all link the rust libs statically(you can change linking), maybe because it is easier to distribute static binaries that work everywhere than to distribute a bunch of libraries without official channel(your os distributions).
I'm getting "Sorry, Because of it's privacy settings, this video cannot be played here" for every video.
You can rebuild it with smaller pages, including 4kB, which may be beneficial for various reasons. The packages however stick to 8kB.

And yes, the database has it's own cache (aka shared buffers), on top of page cache (filesystem cache).
I expect the US to recognize that the rights granted to its citizens by the Constitution are to be respected even when it's inconvenient to do so. I expect Americans to be granted a trial, be given access to attorneys, have the right to remain silent, to require warrants for their papers and possessions, and to be considered innocent unless proven guilty, even if they join ISIS and participate in genocide. Otherwise, the entire premise of a Constitutional government and the rule of law becomes a farce.

At the very least, I expect the US to not simply shrug its shoulders, decide it's too complicated and just kidnap and kill Americans instead.
Ask HN: Validating assumptions about the recruiting business
We're looking to start a new IT recruitment company (targetting a specific niche). We made some assumptions about this business, but we would like to hear the thoughts of other people to check if these assumptions make sense. Of course I thought about asking recruiters what they think of it, but they probably don't want to give their secrets away and help a potential competitor.

Some background info: we are based in the Netherlands and are looking to hire an experienced recruiter. There won't be a pool of candidates or customers from the beginning, we will start looking for those from scratch. We will try to match both freelancers looking for gigs, as well as employees looking for permanent jobs.

Here are the assumptions:

1) We will be able to match our first candidate with a job within 4 months after starting.

2) We will be able to convert 2 succesful matches per month (with 1 recruiter).

3) A €3000 gross base salary per month + 10% bonus (of the total fee) over every match that the recruiter manages to convert is a fair salary (the base salary might be difficult for people from other countries to judge, but does the performance bonus structure make sense?).

4) A freelancer will probably stay at his job (and thus provide us revenue) for 6 months on average.

5) Asking for 3 months' worth of salary for a permanent employee match is a fair compensation.

Are there any people with knowledge of the recruitment business who can shed some light on whether or not these assumptions are accurate?
Curious, does homebrew really has "millions of users"?
The developer is the baker? No. The developer is the guy who writes recipes. The baker is the computer who executes recipes.

The difference is that our recipes are hundreds and thousands of pages long and some lines are references to other recipes of more thousands of pages. Also, we write recipes where hundreds of bakers have to work in parallel without confusing each other.
Show HN: NumberMonger, a VSCode extension for working with numbers
Maybe, but on a much smaller scale, would you please not rant like this on HN? We're trying for a higher quality of discussion here, and the combination of sweeping claims and high indignation points leads lower.
thanks. as an Italian I'm baffled how someone can be so blind at what's really happening with unions here
There was a lot of poor implementations of 3D TVs that are probably primarily responsible for the failure, but to me this was the final nail in the coffin: https://gizmodo.com/5715733/why-does-it-cost-300-to-buy-avat...

The article is absolutely right, they got incredibly greedy with what little good content they had.
I needed an extension for VSCode so I made my own. You can use it to convert between hex, dec and bin values in the editor. Insert sequences of numbers at multiple cursor positions. Insert Sequences of random numbers. And to sum up a sequence of numbers.

On the link you can see a few demos. Using the command toolbar you can also select to have the numbers right aligned, zero padded, and in case of conversions, prefixed with 0x or 0b for hex and bin.

Tell me what you think about it!
This is terrible. If I'm being charitable it's at best a 1,000,000 foot view which will help exactly nobody understand what it actually takes -- if I'm not it's leaves out so much detail that it crosses over into being wrong.
I broke my rule of not reading medium articles, but how exactly does this prevent the grandfather paradox? Once you're back in time you can still stop yourself in the future from entering the worm hole...
There will also be a press event held on November 28th in San Fancisco. GM will reveal their Generation 4 autonomous Bolts, which will be the first iteration to be designed as public passenger carrying robotaxis, rather than just as testing vehicles. If these things go the way they go, members of the press will have a chance to ride around in them.

Reuters reported in the spring that GM intended to have 'thousands' of robotaxis on the road by the end of 2018. Regulation approving fully driverless vehicles on California roads is scheduled to be passed next June. In Phoenix Cruise can start running their vehicles whenever they feel ready.

Mary Barra promised that Driverless cars will be deployed in "Quarter not Years". I don't think it's an empty promise, Cruise Automation is doing very well. It's really only Waymo and Cruise who are worth paying attention to at the moment. Cruise was founded in 2013, before the self driving car hype and investment frenzy took off, and as such they were able to get a great deal on top talent. They have a very good team.

Uber, Baidu, and Intel/Mobileye have well capitalized, scaled up autonomous driving operations but I don't think any of them can yet drive 10 miles in Urban traffic without needing human intervention. Cruise is off and running, that first 10 miles in challenging traffic is the hardest, and Cruise passed that benchmark a while back.
For me it’s artistic and technical. VR headsets are cool and fun to try, but I just gone ever see myself using them significantly for entertainment. I’ve seen half a dozen 3D films and it was aware of the extra ticket money.

I’m not saying VR will have no role, or that it’s impossible to make a great 3D movie, I just think they’re niche technologies and will have niche roles to play for a long time to come. Never say never, but anyone who thinks either is on the cusp of massive mainstream adoption or changing the ways we make and consume media is fooling themselves.
