You are right - it's not apocalyptic.

Particularly, since satellites in general are getting much lighter than they used to be (faster decay times, less mass in case of a collision, smaller target), as well as targeting lower orbits than we used to (most go to 400km-500km now).

Also, even in the event of everything in LEO blowing up, we can still launch to farther orbits / other planets.

> There are, but they all have at their core an idea of an object which has identity, which values don't have.

Not at all, objects need to be explicitly allocated on heap, otherwise they are value based.

I took care not to list any language that only allows objects as references.
It is an issue, because as your finger is making its way to tap "Back" or "Done" the notification pops under it. It's like when an ad loads directly under your mouse cursor, overlaying something you want to click on, as the neural signal to your click-muscle is already halfway down your arm.

There are tons and tons of meaningful uses for the current state of ML. Just about every industry is full of opportunities to apply the most basic algorithms and drive tremendous value. It goes without saying that research is still valuable, but what I haven't seen yet is large, widespread use of applied ML.
I'm pretty sure we know how disembodied brains would work - consider any quadriplegic. They may as well be disembodied, yet they can continue to mentally function at a high level.

Agreed 'copying the brain' would have to copy/checkpoint the software running, or you risk failing to connect meaningfully with the environment. It'd be hard for a deaf/dumb/quad brain to learn to speak or interact from scratch.

High School Computer Science: Look Ma, No Textbooks
Actually that’s assumed in my depiction of such a system.

There is always going to be slacking/welfare advantage - that’s a given for me.

It’s sort of a system weakness. The side point is how much of this dead weight loss is there vs how much actual good is done.

In general there’s a lot of good that’s done in comparison to the good.

The point I’m making is hat politicians will always point to the dead weight loss because it has massive PR/optical appeal.

“Observe there the knave!”

It’s a matter of a systemic loss to one system, being an outsize gain to another program.

The trick is to avoid letting politicians get to a stage where such imagery has optical value.

This means a society which usually has enough for most people, no manipulation of relations to paint one group or the other as villains and a generally efficient enough govt that people don’t stop to say “this needs to end”.

I kind of took the opposite approach. I worked on a landing page with a hook first. only had one button on it. ran it on google. pivoted. pivoted. added more functionality. got my mortgage license(financial service is a good market for lead generation). generate leads for myself.
While the cost to those people may be infinite, the cost to everyone else may be less than the cost of doing something effective to help them. If you reduce things to economics you may not like the answers you get. Like smoking tends to _reduce_ public health expense via premature death.
I really think there should be an HBO Silicon Valley - Enterprise spinoff :-)

Interesting thought, although these merger/acquisitions play out over quarters and years. Not really conducive to a 12 episode season every year. And seems Silicon Valley has already had a touch of this type of narrative :)

On Family Farms, Little Hands Steer Big Machines
That's an interesting point. Looking at my own family, any pushiness seems to happen per-relationship, and per-context. For example, I see something my son likes, I remember liking that thing myself, and then I recommend some extension to that thing or say "you like that? Try this!" I mean, I'm not the stereotypical tiger parent but I'm sure I seem pushy at times.

The pushiness definitely happens in both directions though. I have heard enough "dad, you should"'s that sometimes my wife intervenes and tells our kids that, no, Dad is fine how he is. I like to try things my kids like, so they think I'm a kid sometimes too.

Speaking of screen time, I have one son to whom shared screen time is a genuinely motivating pleasure. He just beat Sonic Adventure DC after blowing all his precious screen time minutes on it for a few months. When we play a game together, he howls with laughter and loves griefing. Another son is indifferent about where the shared time happens, so long as he gets equal time with Dad (it's really the fairness and shared experience he cares about). I taught him a solitaire pyramid clone we played with Star Wars playing cards and called it Star Destroyer. He played it all day.

My daughter I'm lucky to bring down out of Earth orbit every once in a while; she is constantly dreaming and I admire that capacity. "Oh it's my turn to play in your office dad? Can we have a dance party with that one song...?" Neil Diamond's "America" for some reason...

The three of us play little narrative group RPGs together. I make them up; they are a little like those old game books that were a tiny step up in complexity from CYOA. The kids automatically project their life approach and personality into their characters. Occasionally I have a little GM trickster fun like transforming their favorite weapon into a burrito, but the tolerance for this varies greatly by kid. Sometimes if your favorite archetype is Hulk and you had a hard day at school, you just need time and space to be an epic Hulk.
Why You Should Always Listen to Your Heart
Did Net neutrality not teach you anything? Open your eyes, politicians exist to represent special interests - if they're doing that with net neutrality, think of what they're doing in areas where people don't pay much attention.
I would expect them to do so imminently to normalize it into the budget. If someone gave them $1M worth of gold I would not expect them to sit on it (what possible use would FSF have with gold as a material?), but rather convert it into resources which then can be used to fund projects.

I hurt my back last summer and was prescribed oxycodone. I took it for a few days, then stopped after the pain became manageable. I didn't become an addict. I understand that some people are just naturally predisposed to addiction, I've just never been that type of person. I have a hard time empathizing because of it. Just quit you imbeciles. Quit or die. Or both, I don't really care that much.
I’d be hesitant to share time in front of a screen though, video games don’t seem to be real interaction.

Maybe it depends on the games? A single player game with elements of exploration can be fun shared experience; I still remember fondly playing Super Mario 64 with my father. And for small groups, a session of Worms is nice - being turn-based, you're never immersed in the screen, it's more like a digital version of Pétanque and similar games. The sessions with my friends were a riot.

Not that there's anything wrong with avoiding video games, but they can bring some variety.
I really like the tmux integration.
I think there are no official guidelines about the title of the ShowHN, but my recomenration is to add the name of the project and what it does. (Why the project may be interesting for me, not why the project is interesting for you.)

The first two sentences of the page are

> Welcome to Signl.

> Front end development tutorials created by developers of all skill levels

So my recommendation for the HN submission is "Show HN: Signl - Front end development tutorials created by developers"

Hopefully we’ll get a Lyme vaccine pretty soon.

>> Instead, by not collecting data, they found themselves answering an overly narrow question: does this impact user privacy?

What makes them out of touch is that these were apparently the only criteria that needed to be met. As opposed to, say, "how would people feel if we took our software, which occupies a space in their workflow that demands a lot of trust, and auto-updated it with a marketing campaign for a TV show?"

I mean, if they wanted to answer the question "how many of our users like Big Bird?", and they crafted a pop-up survey to be delivered through this mechanism that did not impact user privacy, would that get the green light?

It's not just about respecting user privacy and safeguarding data, it's about adhering to expectations. The fact that there was apparently not a single human in the loop with the power to stop this from rolling out that recognized this is concerning, and the fact that there's no mention of it in this blog post is doubly so. What people want to hear is not just "we will safeguard your data", it's "we will never waste your time or introduce any kind of risk by pushing things like marketing campaigns into your trusted software."
Depends what the job is for

By not doing something because of a fear of being labeled as a loser you actually become one.

Since certain age, I couldn't care less if other people think I am cool or not and just do what I like. I would hope to foster the same attitude in my kids as soon as possible and hope they do not grow up as slaves of what is currently trendy.
I guess I'm questioning the spin that the BBC article put on this. And no I'm not ok with this happening to people. However, there were opportunities where he could have helped himself - exhibit better judgement on who he chose to drink with, thus avoiding the stabbing; - understand that the change in benefit payment is making it his responsibility to pay the rent. Let's face it he must have noticed the increased payment to him when that first rent cheque landed in his account.

Living in the UK and being subjected to this sort of "journalistic" output from the BBC day-in-day out, I read it as a propaganda piece by the BBC designed to support their agenda.
When I was young, I thought I understood C++, because I had been taught it in school. I did not. Having interviewed several recent graduates who thought they knew C++, I believe this is fairly common, particularly among people with advanced degrees in engineering and the sciences. It's very easy, in C++, not to know the scope of one's ignorance.
Bonus points if you leak the intel/design plans talking about your recent breakthrough in bug technology and how untraceable they'll be now.
What does crypto offer in this solution.

If we're talking about developers, then there are already a variety of projects that "people" developers actually want.

The consumer oriented blockchain-natively-dependent projects are not here yet because the protocol layer isn't mature enough.

This isn't just my opinion, but those of the "actual" investors in the blockchain space such as a16z and polychain.
FWIW, I'm seriously disappointed that common usage has now adopted "crypto" to mean (almost exclusively) "crypto-currency". It's such an impoverishment of the language.

>I would teach your children the value of not caring what other people think

That's not a great lesson if taken absolutely. Other people can give valuable feedback to social interactions. You should be aware of what people think, and be able to examine it, but not be ruled by it.
If we want to be non-philosophical then most the value of bitcoin has come from unsophisticated retail investors that haven't spent half as much time thinking about the 'store of value' as you have in this post and just want to make amazing profits like they've seen others make in a short time period.
Thanks for the loving kindness. However clumsy was my attempt it stemmed from good will - I myself managed to cure myself out of extreme suffering (and near-death) by realizing, accepting and letting go of my anger.
Thank you for that term ERP, I hadn’t heard it before but it describes precisely what I’m talking about.
Biggest thing is not exposing any internals to customization, but just coding a widget, wrapping it in a closure and calling it a day.

It's such a pain to have to fork a UI library or include the source code into my build pipeline just to make a small change.

One of the easiest and most helpful techniques for library authors to do this in JS is to make your public methods optionally accept functions that resolve to whatever data type you are expecting.

if(typeof arg == "function") { arg = arg(); }

In ancient times, they called this the "open/closed" principle.

The principles that KSP teaches are correct except for the bit where in KSP you're only under the gravitational influence of one body at a time, which doesn't matter for reaching orbit. The specific numbers in the KSP parts are totally fudged to make the game more fun but parts with those numbers would work like they do in KSP if they existed. For instance in real life jet engines have a lower thrust to weight ratio than rocket engines.

EDIT: But you can download the realistic solar system mod to get a sense of what real world thrust ratios and orbital delta-v is like. And Children of a Dead Earth has multi-body physics for Lagrange points and so on.

Automatic image captioning research has some very impressive results in the recent years. Also there are other ideas in this domain that can handle language quite well (e.g. visual question answering). Interpreting classes in images as symbols, it appears as if symbolic and statistical approaches can in principle be combined. Wondering whether this can somehow be transferred to learning language for automatic translation.

Turns out Evan Williams was right, but much too early.
Coco chanel was definitly not cool because she made clothes. Read her bio. She was actually made fun of, like all geniuses.

She became cool in her niche. Then rich and famous. Then mondialy cool because rich and famous.

Being rich and famous makes everybody cool. Pew die pie is cool now. Me playing in my living room ? Nope.

Take chanel or jobs or jk rolling before they became rich and famous. How do you think people consider them ? At best originals. At worst loosers.
They got rid of the one employee least likely to make a mistake again.

It was hardly their fault either. "This is not a drill" was part of the phone message they received. Why the hell would you say that when it is a drill?

The whole thing was a fiasco from the top to the bottom and shows they haven't even remotely approached operations from the very simple premise of "Humans make mistakes". They didn't even have a runbook for handling the scenario of a message being accidentally sent out.
Appreciate the demand for precision, but you won't get more than anecdotes in this case.

I used to work for Google and I remember the 180 degree turn in WSJ's output after Murdoch gave a speech in which he announced Google News was killing journalism and the future of newspapers was the iPad (this was just after the iPad was new). Suddenly bullshit articles about us started appearing constantly.

The first one I remember was about the Safari cookie case, if anyone remembers that. Basically Safari had shipped a third party cookie filter that broke the web as a "privacy" feature. Because it didn't work and couldn't ever work Apple started adding in bizarre documented workarounds that were basically bugs in the filter, but they chose to document rather than fix, so important apps like the Facebook like button would start working again. Google started using these workarounds as was intended by Apple in order to fix its own products. The WSJ paid some academics to go dirt digging and they found this, announced Google was hacking Safari's filter etc, Apple exploited the situation, this caused regulators to go and whack us and so on.

It's quite amazing how easily manipulated governments and especially regulators are by newspapers. My father used to hate Murdoch with a passion (he was in the tv biz), and after that I understood why... the power wielded by people who own newspapers is phenomenal. And they do not hesitate to abuse it!
Read-until has had diminishing utility. Over the last year or so, the speed at which a read can pass through the pore has increased so that by the time you call the bases and determine what it is, the read is likely to have already passed through the pore.

Also importing CSV files works much better. I don't know how many times I had to suggest friends or customers to use openoffice for that, it was just easier than finding the right way to do it in Office.
I know I'm in dangerous territory here, but what if the C++ community, as in committee, compilers, etc., pull a Javascript strict mode?

Basically subsequent C++ compilers provide the possibility of some subset of C++ which is considered modern. Then files can be marked with it, at which point the C++ compilers reject deprecated idioms. Over time this should take over, I think most of the JS in the wild is now using strict mode.

I can't be the first person to think of this. There must be a reason something like this hasn't gotten traction.
Well, I think it's showing a decentralized network, not centralized. Maybe closer to federated, who knows, it's not clear. It's for sure not distributed though, while IPFS is a distributed file system.

If the graph contained at least one other link between the nodes than via the center one, it would make it more clear.

I think this famous graph (from Paul Baran https://www.rand.org/about/history/baran.html) does a good job of showing the difference: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdYtMUTnz6vaQNRUAzhh8YiSSGzBCyQrCXE5Ag...

True, but if your country gives you tax breaks for donations, by giving you're depriving other tax payers of your money. You're saying that what you're donating to is more worthwhile than the average government spending, which may not be true for some "charities". (By the way, this argument is not originally mine but was in an interesting comedy on BBC Radio 4 yesterday: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09ply4y)
The screenshot was not a real screenshot. As a result, all news about "bad UI" could be considered to some degree fake, since it was based on fake screenshots.
I think they tried that, and found fewer people were updating.

No solution is perfect for everybody. There are tradeoffs. If you read between the lines you can see that in this tradeoff, they are optimizing for getting more people to stay up to date. Which has many benefits which arguably outweigh the annoyance you experience.
I'm not sure, exactly. Partly because A. that was a few years ago and I don't remember everything and B. our compensation there was a mixed model that included a base salary along with hourly "bonus" money for billable hours, which varied depending on whether the gig was onsite or remote, etc.

But suffice it to say, if I went out on a gig that was being billed at $200.0 / hr, I wasn't making anywhere close to $200.00 / hr personally.
There is evidence that it's generally phased. First years dominated by the maternal care with the paternal side increasing in later years.
we make Permethrin 'tick tubes' for our yard. In a nutshell, it's bedding for mice laced with permethrin. Ticks attach to the mice during the mice breeding cycles in March and July here in New England.

I'm out in the yard a lot, I pull ticks off daily. I fortunately never have had Lymes but I noted (anecdotally) that the tick population has exploded in the last 10 years with the milder winters.

It's concerning. Probably going to get a flock of guinea hens this year.

Resolution isn't the only part to consider, the amount of detail you can store in that resolution can differ widely. With the push towards enhanced colour spaces, higher framerates, etc. there's plenty of need for better compression technology.

I think Rust and D have seamless integration with C style ABIs. Swift is native on iOS. Haskel and OCaml have, as far as I understand, painful FFIs and a relatively heavy runtime so I wouldn't call them native.

edit: to be clear, using 'compiles to object code' as the definition of Native, is both a misuse of the word, and meaningless as it is a implementation detail that can change easily and bound to be obsolete quickly.
