Consider the Amazon Dash Button.

10 seconds a week running a WiFi radio, TCP/IP, SSL and all that. 604,790 seconds a week waiting for a button to be pressed. Battery powered.

If you can monitor a button on 1 microamp, and run WiFi on 60 milliamps, 50% of your battery capacity will go on sleeping and 50% on waking.

And wake-state power consumption is dominated by the radio module, so the best way to cut down on wake state power consumption is to make the wake as short as possible.
3) Apple is really good at marketing. It's been shown that, even if you cover the TrueDepth camera, features that "require" it still work fine (including Animoji and the apps that I've been developing using the front-facing ARKit APIs).

3.1) The lack of Animoji and front-facing ARKit seems to be a software limitation made for business reasons rather than a hardware limitation. See: Google's Pixel 2 portrait mode photos done using a single front-facing camera that have stacked up well against the ones from the iPhone X.

Does it also work in the dark without the depth camera?

China Ecommerce: This Is Only the Beginning for Explosive Growth – Fortune
That's a good point and certainly I've not encountered that many Americans in Spain, where I live at the moment. Those I have met tend to be 19 - 25 year age group, studying the language rather than your average tourist.

However, I have visited the States once and was very much impressed by how approachable and friendly people are - much more so than anywhere else I have been (border control staff excepted, of course).

I know a few people who say they hate Americans but, when pressed, they usually admit not having much of a reason that's based in any sort of reality. In other words, they have never been there and haven't met that many in real life.

Have you ever used Baidu? It's worse than Google even when searching for Chinese. Baidu did a few things well: it was good for finding pirated content and porn, but for actual research, it's horrible.
In my experience, it's the edge cases that are a pain when implementing a regex engine. Think about weird regexes like "^*", "$?" (or any quantified zero-width match), anchors that appear in the middle of regexes, nested quantifiers (don't make much sense, but you need to generate good error messages).

Once you add captures and maybe even backreferences, you get a whole new world of weird :-)

“Mussolini made the trains run on time”
I have a few nephews who got showered with gifts every bday/Christmas/etc, to the point where they no longer knew which toys they owned and no longer cared about the new ones they got for more than 5 minutes.

So we (wife and I) had an idea. Instead of gifting them toys, take that money and put it in their savings account (one account per kid). We slowly managed to convince the rest of the immediate family (grandmas resisted a bit) to follow the example and now the kids have a growing savings account (which hopefully they'll appreciate later in life).

With that said, we didn't stop giving them toys altogether, they just get a lot less toys which makes the ones they get that much more special.
I think that's covered in GP's "I have my own priorities and trade-offs to worry about".

Its probably a fair bit warmer where you live though. This city is in Siberia which although the same latitude as Northern Europe, is a lot colder. Right now it is -20C/-5F there, and it’s not even the cold part of the year yet :-)
Here on HN we need to back such affirmations with data. The bolder the affirmations, the more solid the data-backed proof need to be.

If we were to exchange "philosophical" considerations here, I'd tell you that sunday fishermen have complained weekly that there was much more fish in the river before since the dawn of humanity. I'd also tell you that my own home in downtown Beijing has seen a slug invasion this year, and that these animals are not disappearing at all (at least in my courtyard).

Also, this post only addresses data flowing in one direction into BQ. Presumably they're then using something like Tableau or the Google/AWS offerings to build dashboards based on this data. There aren't many places for bugs to hide unless the BQ perms are wide open.
Where does that 15 years figure come from? Samsung used AMOLED in the first Galaxy S back in 2010, and every update since then. The only thing that I can find happening around 2016-2017 is that Apple finally caught up. Did Qi also not exist before 2017?
I hated it in university and hate it until this very moment. I get what this language is doing and why it is great for special usecases. But I can absolutly can not read code written in Prolog. Staring at 3 lines of code and not knowing what the hell it does, gives me nightmares till today.

You can write a quicksort in a few lines. You can traverse over a tree very easily. But understanding these few lines takes me more time than writing it in C, Java, PHP etc.. But I guess it is all training...

It seems the world has come full circle. This seems to be a close analogue of the Macartney Embassy(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macartney_Embassy) that went to China in 1793. Except that now the kowtow has been replaced by placating speeches.
Literally the first sentence in the posted article mentions this:

I stumbled upon an article the other day where Rob Pike implements a rudimentary regular expression engine in c. I converted his code to Javascript and added test specs so that someone can self-guide themselves through the creation of the regex engine. The specs and solution can be found in this GitHub repository.

"tks" is also a common abbreviation for "thanks" in Morse.

A laugh is actually just "hi", although sometimes it would be repeated if conditions were noisy. Then it would be "hi hi" with a space in between, not all sent as one word.

So why was "hi" used to indicate a laugh in Morse in the first place? There's no obvious connection with either the word "hi" or the individual letters "h i".

The reason is that the meaning here is not in the actual letters or word, it's the sound of "hi" in Morse:

• • • • • •

http://mg.to/audio/hi.wav

It just sounds funny to hear that. A bit reminiscent of the rhythm of the old phrase "shave and a haircut, two bits" but more concise.

Oddly, many hams to this day also use "hi" or "hi hi" in voice contacts instead of laughing. I guess that's not too different from saying "lol" out loud!

"es" is another interesting abbreviation. This of course is the Spanish word for "and", but hams always use "es" instead of "and" in Morse. It's one letter shorter, but that's not the real reason. Here's "and":

• ——— ——— • ——— • •

vs. "es":

• • • •

Much shorter and easier to send!
Make sure your new workplace will benefit your GH investment and community too.

The Github is overcrowded with mocked contributions just to boost resumes. I am not against open-source contributions and putting them on CV, but foremost they should be done not for fame but for community benefit.

Also I laugh when closed-source only company asks for GH contributions but they don't contribute anything and don't let one to work on GH in paid time. That means you spend your evenings and time off to keep up with GH - only if your contracts permits that too.
Yeah! For example, the government could become a stakeholder in all companies to ensure that the populace's interest is taken into account in addition to profit... wait a second, that's what China's doing
That's the other side of low power devices, and part of the the beauty of asynchronous logic, it does nothing better then anything else! Computers like the ga144 'sleep' mid instruction waiting for a pin (button) to change, consuming only gate leakage for as long as needed.
I find the section 5.3 from the paper "Out of the tar pit"[1] describes it very well:

> It is for this reason that Prolog falls short of the ideals of logic programming.
Specifically it is necessary to be concerned with the operational
interpretation of the program whilst writing the axioms.

I haven't heard of any approach that generalizes the goals of logic programming in a far better way. Is there any? (on specific usecases, having a sort of rule engine for running your "business rules" can indeed be an excellent approach)

It had 31% in 2010, which had grown from 15% in 2006. What do you think would have happened if Google Play and Google didn't get blocked? I'll tell you, many Android phones in China would have come with Google as the default, and those numbers would have went up.

The blocking of Google.cn was more than just Search. YouTube, Drive, Gmail, Google Play, Maps, etc are all blocked. In 2010, Google and Amazon had an enormous advantage over BAT and if there was complete freedom, they would have taken substantially more of a chunk of services.

This is not a localization issue. Google has 86% marketshare in Hong Kong and 91% in Taiwan. Search and hosting services localize easily.

Google gave up an enormous opportunity by not being willing to kowtow to the standard practice of handing over half your company in a joint venture or adopting political control over information. If you look at the valuations of BAT, it was a substantial opportunity cost. But it was the right thing to do.
I don't think anyone can convince employers as most would prefer longer hours, misplaced or not. Nevertheless they understand financial incentives e.g. probably better off respecting labour laws.
Let's imagine some companies (like Sun Microsystems) making wonderful language (like Java), and provide NO IDEs. We really had tough time during the initial years of Java - just with Borland JBuilder and some other primitive IDEs - until we could get wonderful IDEs like Eclipse followed by IntelliJ-IDEA.

It's widely understood that you're referring to JetBrains' Kotlin. In such case, really industry-famous-IDE support for a 'new language', is some sort of a gift!

Besides, why would a company want to invest in R&D to create a language and just give it for FREE, without any tangible business benefits.

Remember, Sun did so... giving away Java for free. Eventually - under stress - they themselves were sold (and bought by Oracle).
One aspect of the half-empty version is that if you don't feel you're good at something it can discourage you from even trying to push the limits.

I think I've noticed this a bit in myself - before I had broadband internet I was more willing to play around and tinker with things, now I struggle a bit harder to find motivation to try anything I'm not already good at.

No, it wasn't EU4 / CK2 / Stellaris grade. I just love the Roman period and RTW doesn't cut it (Caesar III satisfies city management in a way).

I guess I can't argue if you've sat down and tried to model it - the culling of establishment structures makes sense now.

Given me inspiration to take a stab, if only to come to your conclusion. A decent, historical early Rome grand strategy game is too much to let go of.

Hopefully an impetus to put some code down on a game I want to play.
Skyscrapers are viable in only a few areas. Cost increases as you build up. Landscrapers make sense where real-estate prices aren't so high.

This device may be hackable in the future, but it will be released based on free42 and Intel's quad-precision decimal library which I think will make it the most accurate handheld calculator.

I've never seen an athlete that goes 100% all the time your body just simply cannot take it. Hell someone who always trains at 95% multiple times a day is pretty sure to take some PEDs to help with the recovery.

I know a guy who does strongman competitions for a living. He never gives his 100% outside of competitions (3 to 5 times a year) The guy sleeps like 12 hours a day minimum (~8h at night and 3 or 4 naps), spends more time eating and then training and once he is nearing competition and going for that "peak" performance for a competition training after warmups might mean doing one single rep of deadlift as the whole days routine (probably takes a good 2 or 3 days to fully recover from that with his muscles). There are just some very real limits to the endurance of a human being. (the brain is also an organ just like muscles and has limits and needs rest etc.)

I've seen a few contalks about logic programming, read a few articles, and aside from the intellectual curiosity in itself I can see that it is very elegant in certain circumstances (although I lack the hands-on experience to feel what those circumstances are).

Since doing a whole program in prolog isn't really practical for me, is there any way to use the logic programming paradigm in mainstream programming languages to deal with specific problems that fit it?
We're on Y Combinator's news aggregator and anything said in this environment is being read, voted on, and replied to by a bunch of startup nerds. That's largely what we are. It's not an insult, and it applies to me too. Along with the positive things about this cohort, this means that the easiest things to say around here are a combination of CS/engineering social cluelessness and startup founder "hey, look at this useless but trendy/interesting thing."

Parent is posting about how there's something missing in the article -- a sense of normalcy in a motel room that comes from being able to do regular things for a moment.

The passage you quoted takes a contradictory tack, indicating that motels have a sad side as well for many homeless folks. You describe the sentiment as "quiet desperation," without really taking the time to say anything about the parent comment.

Neither is right, neither is wrong, both are simply vantage points on an experience.

However....

It's bizarre, to me at least, that one person shares thoughts from a deeply difficult personal experience and the response simply quotes a block of text from a magazine (...owned by Steve Jobs' billionaire widow, no less. Welcome to HN, where even the commentary about homelessness comes from the mouthpiece for a tech billionaire in Palo Alto.)

It's like there's a human element missing, a nonfunctioning ligand that would make it a bit easier to connect.

It's pretty obvious from the parent comment that you're talking to someone who has seen some rough times, but you literally just quoted a passage from an article that's contradictory to the parent's message without cribbing it in any sort of meaningful way.

I mean, this isn't even my thread. I've never been homeless and I like reading magazines too. But I see why the parent commenter reacted defensively, and I am trying to tell you what I see.

Organizational dynamics frequently lead to organizations behaving in a way that their members probably would not conduct themselves in their personal lives.
So we shouldn't hold anyone accountable? Just give up?

Yesterday Hackernews talked about how Apple was just focused on making money and they should ignore any moral implications, today we are supposed to feel compassion and understanding for poor Tim Cook? It just sounds like everyone has Apple as their idol and they can't do any wrong.
SMS is important part of communication infrastructure in the third world. You would be amazed how complex services can run on SMS.

I think we who live in the industrialized societies have fallen behind mobile technology if we measure it by its impact on society and cultural innovation. We have better and newer technologies, but they are improving productivity and shaping the world less and less.

In contrast, many developing world countries are developing their society around mobile technology. it's changing developing world Africa, India, Eurasia, etc. Large areas of the world will never have landlines, fiber, ASDL etc. Just the mobile masts with microwave links from village to village or in the middle of a slum.

I love the "Running light without overbyte" approach that removes distractions and provide working services that are actually compact and revolutionary. They improve productivity and change the society.
I don't know how practical that is as a solution to social ills, but whether China is doing it or not doesn't really make it good or bad.

IANAM, but honestly, the note he left sounds like a troll/trap to me. If he truly found an elegant proof, wouldn't he have published it?

OTOH the history of mathematics seems to include the development of notation to hide complexity, so FLT can be written as A = sB
Not 100% sure I answer your question but I have used Prolog mixed with Java a while ago and as a high level layer for problem representation. It's not brilliant but at that time it did help me implement quite complex agent behavior within a multi-agent environment.

That's certainly true, but I would argue that there's some things that really don't warrant wasting your time / energy with (like you said, mainly inter-personal and superficial stuff like appearances, money, etc.) and others that you should listen to if it's something that continues to bother you.

Weather is a good example: If you find yourself constantly annoyed at the weather and it's possible for you to do so, why not go to somewhere with a climate that might better suit you?

I guess my point is, I agree, it's not worth it getting constantly worked up over stuff, but also one shouldn't ignore one's feelings towards certain things for a prolonged time.
