I imagine the types of things you do with the respective languages as well as the number of people in the communities have a pretty big impact.

For example if you're using c++ to implement an interface for some hardware then maybe you can just quickly follow a spec. But with lisp you're more likely to try and implement some sort of ai thing that requires a lot of stopping and thinking.

With respect to community size, if you have a bunch of people then you're going to get more accurate numbers but if you have a small community then you might end up with a lot of outliers.

Finally people are probably more likely to have a significant amount of practice with c++ vs lisp and that probably has an impact.
Some friends of mine are, for whatever masochistic reasons, avid viewers of Mayday (aka Air Crash Investigations), and the episode [1] about this event is one of their very favorites.

I recall the episode mentioning that the passengers and crew from this flight have stayed in contact and held occasional reunions ever since.

Apparently good old fashioned piston engines still work as they have a dust filter on the air intake like in a car.
I think good modern DJing includes production in the mix. A lot of the best DJs I know also produce their own music.

However, I don't think a DJ is un-important. I think of a DJ like a film-editor. Sure, the editor does not do any of the acting, lighting, or cinematography, but they have immense control over how the film is delivered to the audience, and having a good editor is as important as having a good cinematographer or director.

To really control a large crowd in a meaningful way, you can't just throw on a playlist on shuffle, the DJ needs to "edit" the whole set to fit the night.

Wealth inequality is the better measure. And by that measure, wealth inequality is getting worse in the U.S. and indefinite worsening of inequality is untenable for a civil society and functioning democracy.

Also, all earned income (wages) is subject to payroll tax from the very first dollar and that is a tax on one's income. But setting aside FICA, there is a disturbing vulgarity in saying only poor people pay nothing in income tax, because rich people also pay nothing in income tax on that exact same amount of money. That's how tax brackets work. Person A makes $15,000 a year and pays no income tax; person B makes $1.5 million but likewise pays no income tax on their "first" $15,000. So I find picking on poor people, who pay a disproportionate amount of their income on sales and property taxes than wealthy people, rather ignorant and obscene.

The mere fact that wealth inequality continues to get worse does tell me there is a deficiency in tax policy. I don't really care about an arbitrary emotive like "fairness" - what I care about is avoiding the destabilization of civility and that is guaranteed to have a breaking point at a certain level of inequality. It is not necessary to enforce a classless, egalitarian society, in order to narrow the wealth inequally gap to something more sane and then maintain that gap (for those who want to protect classism, anyway).

> A trade this large is likely to crater the currency before it can be filled in the absence of trade volume so large its practically impossible for one stakeholder to act in the manner you describe.

They don't have to actually sell the currency; they can simply transfer it to another wallet they control, use their huge stake to manipulate the blockchain saying they now have original wallet + new wallet, effectively doubling their currency. Then, they can cash out slowly, over time, without cratering the currency.

Basically, this is like a secret money printing (double-spending) machine, although I would like to think that smart people would be able to detect the manipulation in some way or another.
That's true, and a major benefit of trying something is that it can correct for overconfidence and expose specific gaps in understanding (so you can seek out explanations, or puzzle it out)

Hey, here's something that took me quite a while to realize: people have different tastes.

I don't find myself attractive at all (and I'm quite far from any western "beauty standard"). And even though I'm overweight, bald and definitely not rich, there's still people who find me attractive. Likewise, those I find attractive others don't.

It's a though spot to be if you are actively looking for a partner (whether through apps or real life), but just be yourself. I know it's cliché but it's the truth. From time to time you will get to know / match with people who do find you attractive.
I don't see the need for a degree if you have the skills. People who have the grit to bootstrap their CS education and complete it will do so. They don't need the support of a bootcamp or an accredited institution.

In my work in trying to teach CS to refugees and underprivileged, underrepresented people, I've been discouraged. As of now, I believe that there is a very small subset of people who can really "get it" and make a difference. I think even I am not one who can, but through my hard work and determination, I've been able to eek out a pretty good income.

You can bring a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink. These kids want to be doctors, flight attendants, sports stars. Sure, they'll come sit in class because their parents are making them (because they see the value in what we're offering... free CS education with professional and industry support) They'd rather hang out with their friends than secure the keys needed to break the poverty cycle.
The average student loan debt in the US is about $30k. That's a little less than the price of the average new car sold in the US in 2017, and it's quite a bit less than the first year of salary for a graduate with a CS degree.

You can get a good education that prepares you for a high-paying career for less than the price of a Toyota Camry with leather seats. That seems to me like a fantastic deal.
Pi-hole (https://pi-hole.net/) might work for some apps.
Of all the degrees that could be free, one that near guarantees you one of the highest paying professional careers immediately upon graduation is not exactly a bad investment.

Ask HN: What did you succeed at in 2017?
No, because they are getting wealthier at a greater rate than either the middle class or poor. The U.S. didn't used to have this problem when the upper tax bracket rate was above 70%. It's plausible it doesn't need to be that high if deductions aren't as generous as they were when taxes were that high (for more than a generation by the way, so it's not like extremely high taxes at the top brackets has some civilization ending result - we already know it doesn't, in fact it acts as a strong incentive to avoid taxes by taking deductions in creative ways which ideally also have a social benefit).

Blog much more, especially in a exploratory, engineering-notebook-y kind of way, detailing my thoughts, ideas, and failures. I've found those kinds of articles fun to write and even more fun to read.

I think this is because code doesn't live in a vacuum–it has a story behind it. Sometimes I like to read git histories of people's personal projects, to see how some of the stuff I use daily came to be. That's the kind of stuff I want to share with people.

Facebook’s ARPU is about $20 per year from financial releases last year.

However, people who would pay to block ads probably are in a demographic that makes significantly more ARPU for Facebook; possibly 3-4 times.

I know Google’s ARPU off me (prior to installing an ad blocker) is in the $100s per year (calculated by an extension that looks at your search terms, what ads you click on, and how much they cost). I don’t think I’ll pay a few hundreds a year for Google.
Sounds like wonderful co-workers to have. Probably a matter of time before being stabbed in the back in such a work environment.

I don't have enough experience with XMM registers (and SSE4 in general) to know if this is actually {useful,possible}, but a hypothetical use might be creating and using cryptographic keys such that the important numbers are never stored in main memory. If e.g. a decryption key is ever present in RAM, it's probably possible to steal it with a cold-boot attack that copies all of RAM. Once you have the RAM dump, the key can probably be found very quickly:

for (secret_key_t *p = 0; p < RAM_SIZE; p++) {
decode_with_key(p);
}

This does require significant physical access, but it works. I seem to remember reading ~1.5 years ago about a turnkey forensics kit (bottle of refrigerant included) for doing cold boot attacks? Regardless, more ways to protect keys is could be really useful.

It's also important to distinguish between refugees versus other types of immigrants. Many of the people who have entered Sweden recently from Africa and the Middle East are just seeking a better life, and I sympathize with their situation, but legally speaking they aren't refugees.

Splitting inline asm in to multiple blocks like shown in the article isn't a reliable way of using inline asm. Unless registers are specified in clobber list compiler isn't aware which registers are used by inline asm and may use them for other purpose. That can easily break by compiler overwriting them between inline asm blocks or other way around - inline asm overwriting values that compiler stored there.
Attempting to ramp up my OSS involvement. I made a small contribution to CoreDNS and, encouraged by the friendly and welcoming maintainers, got System.HashCode committed to .Net.

I can't recommend getting involved in any project enough.
No alcohol for a year.

While getting ready for exams this november-december, I had to quit all social activities and as a side effect, I haven't had any drinks for a month or so. While it did not improve my studying or sleep significantly, it helped me realize the effect alcohol has on my body. Couple of drinks after the last exam gave me quite a hangover, something i did not experience much before. Now the interesting observation is that my hangovers got much easier to a point of almost disappearing as I got into drinking again. The realization of this semi-permanent effect combined with studies showing connection to cognitive impairment (memory, concentration etc.) got me into trying a year without alcohol.

Edit: formatting
I was thinking the exact same thing a few days back when I got my package delivered. With the volume of packages that get unpacked each day around the world, it is bewildering to think about the amount of waste bubble wrap and cardboard boxes that we throw away.

This exists, but not much. As a matter of fact, many healthcare workers (especially registered nurses) work very, very long hours and get way less paid than they do in other countries. Also I would expect quality of surgeries would drop in future years due to lawsuit or lack of trust between doctor/nurse-families of patient causing doctors/nurses quitting.

Hey there.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I hope you still see this.

Alcohol has very dangerous withdrawal for those who are daily drinkers. I’ve witnessed this first hand with a father who was a daily drinker that was forced into stopping due to medical issues.

There are multiple risks during severe alcohol withdrawal, including heart failure, seizures, and more. I cannot stress enough that if you are a daily drinker over a long period of time, you need to seek medical assistants from at least your primary care. Do not stop unless you are being supervised. Not only are you reducing your risk for success, but also you’re putting your life at risk. Quit, but please quit responsibly.

This is true and is precisely why it doesn't work without modification on higher optimization levels. I was originally going to write this article entirely in assembly but it seems like nobody wants to read an assembly dump! Instead even though it is malpractice to do so, the way the code is written in the article is still very clear even to people who don't really know assembly that well (I hope) and the concept is more clear. I will make that more clear in the article.

Ask HN: Any recommendations for an interactive web demo framework?
I'm thinking of starting my blog, and one of the topics I want to touch involves manipulating some graphs and diagrams, and I'd like the user to play with the "illustration" itself.

I'm trying to find an easy-to-use framework that could get this job done. I haven't done a ton of frontend dev, but I can wrap my head around programming concepts, btw. I'm sure a frontend dev doesn't even need to ask this question, so I hope there are other people on the same boat as me.

edit: I do like what they're doing at https://distill.pub/ -- not sure if the framework (if any) they are using is easy to work with.

Testing Microservices the sane way
As an engineer who has spent thousands of hours programming SIMD assembly -- using them as buffers which can then be operated upon in batch is literally the entire reason they exist.

So this reads to me as a programmer who isn't familiar with SIMD discovering one small part of why it exists and then writing an article about that as if it was a new idea outside the scope of normal SIMD usage.

It's nice that this may give exposure into some low level details to those unfamiliar, but it isn't an innovation.
