"My job is not the place to do interesting things (though I am stimulated by the problems we have, even though they aren't always technical), that's what hobbies and free time are for. "

In my current job the workload is high but the work is often not very interesting or challenging. If I spend my whole day on boring stuff I am exhausted in the evening.
Help plz
i was trying for few days to know a real ip of someone im talking with i tried some ways but i failed , and if u can trace his "real" ip how?

We've also had great success using zstd with training. We dump a lot of JSON data into kafka, most of which has a similar schema, and training it easily gave a 2-3x reduction in size over lz4.

There's also no evidence that greasy food increases sebum production.

Stupid idea. They had a nice platform for dealing with data, then they pivoted into another nice platform for dealing with data, then again. But in the end they wanted to create a visual programming language for non-tech people or something like that. That's too much ambition.
The spreadsheet idea is what I'm trying out ATM (hopefully will have a good demo in a month or two). I like Fowler's view on this from 2009:

Outstanding, but I fear the curriculum wonks are confused about the nature of computer science. What needs to be taught is problem solving, quantitative thinking, abstraction, algorithms, mathematics, statistics, numerical analysis, game theory, and so forth. Coding (that is, programming) is not part of the core of computer science. Making web pages is not part of the core, nor is communication via social media. Learning how to think rationally is at the core of computer science.

People (students and their elders) seem to have lost the ability to read and understand. The laws of rhetoric are no longer studied; fallacies are embraced everywhere. Many people find it difficult to distinguish between fake news and real news. Evidence is often ignored when making decisions.

If you're not a Mac or iOS developer, then it doesn't bring anything right now.

IMO, nobody is going to use this cross platform. Some people are trying to make it happen, but I doubt very much that it's going to be popular.
But I appreciate the high quality of discussion that intelligence can bring to a topic many of us don't understand.

Yes. We as a culture do not move around enough to utilize the sugar we ask our body's to digest ( fast + dirty fuel )

The surplus sugar serves as a substrate to allow candida to thrive, not to mention a myriad of other maladies.
How about this:

Every recording device sends a stream of hashes to be cryptographically timestamped in realtime as they record. Now the time window to create fake evidence becomes incredibly small. You have to arrange the fake to be created at the same time or earlier than you will claim that the event happened. You have to know what you need to fake in advance, too, which isn't the case for all fraud.

Evidence will be corroborated from multiple places. If I'm in a public place, I can bet the scene is being recorded from multiple places, and I will not be able to predict who will be in that place in advance. Fake evidence can be caught out by finding discrepancies. If the majority of recording device owners whose evidence corroborates can be trusted, then the identification of the fake one can be made with reasonable certainty.
Acne vulgaris is the same as the one adolscents get, right?

How is the claim possibly true? Do they mean something other than what "non-Westerners" means literally? It happens e.g. in the middle-east too and I don't imagine that's an exception. I thought it was a pretty common human phenomenon.
What exactly do self-driving cars have to do with reducing our carbon footprint?

Hell, self-driving cars are the absolutely wrong solution to this problem. Personal automobiles - a 4,000lb steel and rubber box that drives a single 160lb human around, are incredibly wasteful, energy-inefficient luxuries. Trains, buses, bicycles, and better urban planning are the real solution to low-carbon personal transportation.

There's no roadmap in America for any of those things.
Talking about compression you're generally talking about things that when you factor in network overhead have a neutral or better impact on end-to-end time.
with a bit of setup you could remove the lens (while keeping it electrically connected for EXIG purposes) and then project whatever image you want on to the sensor.
We need to have a conversation about the possible paths to make programming more widely accessible. Chris saw the problem clearly and tried to fix it. Respect. I am most impressed with the number of iterations he was able to crank in the context of a startup. But ultimately a startup may not be the best place to start, because low-end programming is not a short-term growth play. We have to play the long game.

I can't speak for other people's cases but in my case it's definitely not the dairy. The only time dairy ever had an effect on me was pre-elementary school when eating too many egg started giving me pimples, so I cut down on that and that fixed it. Never had a problem with it again.
Perhaps the moral of your story could be: a second opinion can be invaluable.
Cpython has non-moving GC so this is not an issue. On the other hand CPython's hashmap implementation is probably most educational open source hashmap implementation that you can find, because it is full of wonderful and portable performance hacks (for one thing the hash values of CPython's objects is intentionally computed such that the distribution is non-uniform which allows tuning of the hashmap implementation for common cases).

As for having tight coupling between moving GC and hashmap implementation there is another reason why you want to do that: weak pointers and hashmaps that are either weak keyed or weak valued which both are things that are useful for the VM implementation itself (symbol tables, method dispatch caches, identity maps for FFI...).
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect HN to tell me that it’s already being done. I am impressed and amused that it happened this fast and it’s pretty much exactly what I posited. Slow clap.
Max "official" safe daily limit is 4000 IU currently, but the only studies I'm aware of where actual toxicity was reported started at something like 40,000 IU daily for months. Vitamin D is likely pretty safe.
Yes, the train example would be the optimal way to use autonomy. The idea of the buffer is rooted more in energy efficiency, rather than increasing flow rate. But I understand that time may be more valuable than energy in this situation, since we are talking about the throughput of economic components (worker and resource transport).

The idea is that if the buffer were used more frequently, then the average speed could increase. Multiplied by a lower density number, it could potentially be a higher flow rate. It requires more energy and time to move from a complete stop than it does to increase speed while already moving. The buffer could eliminate jams completely, if we define "jam" as standstill traffic.

Merging would be smoother because there wouldn't be stop and go. Think of all the thousands of people in a 5 mile jam stretch that slow to a halt and wave their hand while the other person takes time to look at them and make sure they really do have clearance. Every time that happens, dozens of cars behind must also come to a complete halt. With the buffer, speeds may temporarily slow but never halt when introducing new vehicles into the line. If the buffer was a standard implemented in drivers ed, then all drivers would have a protocol for jams.
This is actually the thesis behind Eve. Humans are incredible problem solvers, and we did it for millennia without computers. Computers are great tools for problem solving, but for many problems they are obtuse not because they are inherently hard, but because we have made them unnecessarily so. Take away all that ancillary complexity, and you're left with a tool and the essence of a problem. Most reasonably intelligent people should be able to take it from there.
We're going to need to digitally sign everything at the time of production to prove to they're not forgeries then.

Oh man JNI and Android.

I've never heard a developer curse up a storm like I did when one of my co-workers inadvertently stumbled across the 512 LocalRef limit(also a fun one) during an intermittent crash repro.

By the time he got done with his rant we had to talk him out of purchasing a one-way plane ticket to Mountain View.
Very interesting topic, hadn't ever considered the possibility that the availability of legal proceedings / documents might be something other than a taxpayer-subsidized venture. It sure seems like that's the appropriate source for funds to accomplish this.
Agreed. The HN title is misleading and inaccurate, but even the original title obscures the presence of acne in non-Western countries.

For example, many Japanese suffer very bad acne through adolescence and young adulthood. In one study, nearly 60% of the teenagers had acne and many "had seborrhea and a family history of acne." [0] Indeed, even the most basic web search for "acne vulgaris in Japan" yields plenty of results to studies and treatments. (The study linked in the OP does mention Okinawa, whose relationship to Japan is complicated, as having practically zero incidence of acne vulgaris.)

In any case, given the current and historical prevalence of acne in Japan and the assertions of the study in the OP, would Japan be considered Western or is it a condition of urbanization and the health effects due to environment and diet?

Perhaps the word "Western" confounds easy interpretation of this study because it's actually a proxy for "outside Papua New Guinea".

Performance wise it's far from ideal. In your N block you're going to spend a lot of time, per-byte, to compress while leaving trivially compressible data in the remaining blocks. For N=50, you'd get much better compression for the same amount of cycles applying a faster compression to all the bytes.

And I am now questioning where's your humanity.

I don't expect you to see eye to eye but I want to say progress at the expense of people's lives isn't something to be proud of.

This doesn't solve either of those problems. Nobody is going to ensure revenge porn veracity. They will be posted online, labeled "fake" and absolutely nothing will change.

And a political figure can already just deny that the video is real. You're not preventing it from being posted, so it will be posted, and people aren't going to believe it? Simply because it wasn't approved by that politician? Again, it makes no difference. People will believe it's real because of course that politician won't approve of an unfavorable message.

Again, things don't become true just because someone approves of them. And things don't become fake just because nobody involved approves of them. Labels do not mean anything unless you can guarantee their accuracy. You're really not thinking this through effectively. And again, digital signatures already allow all of this to happen.

You're basically asking for an official worldwide propaganda platform, and it will no more trustworthy than the existing propaganda platforms.
I guess that those two groups haven't had genetic contact with "Western" races.

It's highly misleading, because my Taiwanese girlfriend has acne (worse than mine, and she's over age 30).

She probably has some Dutch blood in her from 400 years ago (her mum is from Tainan, and the light brown hair, double eyelids, and larger cleavage are probably a result of that too).

What the article is suggesting is that if that contact hadn't happened 400 years ago, she wouldn't have acne. Malicious propagandists could easily exaggerate that to blame Western civilisation for their ills, which I think is divisive.

The real research has shown a statistical correlation within a small sample size. That doesn't imply causation, or give any guidance on how to manage or mitigate the effects.

If future children getting acne is really your major worry about choosing a partner, the research might be of interest to you, but it fails to emphasise that even connections in the distant past can have an effect, and rejecting Westerners is not a suitable solution.
"The best architecture is no architecture" ... became a popular catchphrase for me in the early nineties. I built a streaming kind of trading system back then that integrated data flow and functional views, as some problems were easier to grok in one and harder in the other. Just thinking about things as simple functions: a = f(b) and code as a way of organising like with like worked for me.

Sometimes the object approach gets a bit silly. Organisation by the first parameter being special doesn't always work too well. For example, GAMS is a better classification for math than simply putting all vector or matrix code in the one classification. Curation is hard at the end of the day.

_In_ size_t _Count,
_Inout_ FILE * _File

I'm not sure I've ever bothered to look at an applicant's github account. I wouldn't expect to learn much from it.

I've always wanted to make a programming language, but I just tell everyone it's a shell, since that is more understandable and less "threatening" [1]:

http://www.oilshell.org/

The thinking is that if I fail to make a new programming language, which is the 99% case, then at least I can make a "better bash", which I know people will use if it works.

It was on the front page last week, although this is the second time it has become a flame war between sys admins and developers:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16154438

I haven't gotten a chance to work on the Oil language part much, but I wrote a little bit about it here:

http://www.oilshell.org/blog/tags.html?tag=oil-language#oil-...

Anyway, I think the shell has a lot of potential for beginners because it's the first "language" you'll encounter when booting up a PC. My first "language" was actually MS-DOS batch files!!! (Although note that the project isn't prioritizing beginners over experts.)

The shell is just stuck with decades of legacy, to the point where people actively avoid it (as shown by the HN thread). But the only way to "kill bash" is to reimplement it, which I have almost done! So now that I have a clean architecture / prototype, the plan is to speed it up, and evolve it into a different language without the legacy.

There will also be lots of extensions, like a built-in awk paradigm of streaming, and a built-in make paradigm of incremental and parallel computation, etc. There are a lot of good concepts in Unix, which are not even available in Python, but they're hidden behind these crappy 70's style macro languages. It's interesting that the development of shell, awk, and make were about the time when people started figuring out to write parsers! Historically, awk and yacc were almost co-developed.

If you're unfamiliar with shell as an interesting language that's distinct from Perl/Python, the he "shell-the-good-parts" tag might help: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/tags.html?tag=shell-the-good-pa...

Container and iterator code is not safe at all since there is no bounds checking by default and no protection against iterator invalidation, which can both cause writes to memory outside the intended object and thus a catastrophic outcome.

There is no safe subset of C/C++ unless you just don't use pointers or references at all (and refrain from using any library that is not safe which includes large parts of the standard library like all the containers), or you write it in Rust or an equivalent language with lifetimes and linear types and automatically translate it to C/C++ somehow.
You're not "sort of safe" if you browse. The US has ISP reporting laws, as does Australia, South Africa, France and others:

http://chartsbin.com/view/q4y

It's a weird situation because in the UK, they simply block the content (no freedom of speech). In the US, we have freedom of speech so ISPs can't block anything. But they do have to report if you visit a site that contains illegal material or transmit it, plain text, through their services.

Child pornography is a strict liability crime to, so intent doesn't matter. Say you download something from /r/gonewild and the girl is 16, but she looks 20 to you. Too bad. You're not in violation of the law and can be put on a sex offender list.

Many people probably have illegal content without even realizing it. That's another reason why encrypting all your devices is so important.
It's really subjective based on your computing resources client CPU + network speed and your server CPU if you can't compress ahead of time. Here's a great page that captures this:
https://quixdb.github.io/squash-benchmark/#transfer-plus-pro...

TL;DR: Your optimal compression algorithm will vary based on these parameters. There's no universal answer.

In the "Compression Speed vs Ratio" graph, the Y-axis doesn't start at zero. If it were changed to start at zero, it would be easier to evaluate the magnitude of the compression ratio change at a glance. IMO, that's probably worth the extra whitespace in the graph.
I can’t think why we should have network neutrality but not search engine neutrality or OS neutrality.
Given that all humans share a remarkably high % of genome, and race is a social construct, I'm struggling with the 'this is not genetic' part. Either its a truism, or its backed by strong evidence of no genetic linkage. Because this 'its not your race' thing, applies to almost anything. For instance the supposed Asian intolerance to unmodified milk proteins which has been changing as diet shifts. Is that also now not actually genetically determined?
