Interestingly, this feature is one of the first I recall using on Android maybe 8 years ago. It was very visible and easy to turn on... Not sure why they made it harder to discover. Or have they removed it?

They do offer manual route trimming from both ends, too. I've found this useful mostly when I forget to turn off my watch after running.
I found OS X to be incredibly buggy at release. I think 10.2 was fairly stable, but I had a lot of issues before that.

The most interesting thing I stumbled across so far is Detroit, where people don't run in huge swaths of the neighborhoods. I'm familiar with the city so I expected dead zones, but nothing like this.

Worse, if someone else has to change the code, even if that someone is author a few months/years later, those concessions will be unknown, breaking the code in strange ways very hard to debug.
We were on a separate network from the secured military network, but we had complete and free access to the internet when I was there 6 years ago. Even in the most remote combat operating posts, we had access to wifi.

Not sure if this can be solved from the civilian side. There is just too much information being transmitted out of a combat zone, and I think it has to be controlled from the source. Certain sites need to be just blocked in combat zones. Rather, we need to only have a list of allowed sites.

I know how much it sucks in a combat zone, and I know how much that internet connection makes someone feel like they are still part of the civilization. However, some data just should not be transmitted out of it, and it needs to be heavily controlled.
MONGOLIAN UNBELIEVABLE CULTURES YOU SHOULD KNOW
Mongolian children are sometimes given odd names like Nergui (Meaning: without a name) or Enebish (Meaning: not this one), or boys would be dressed up as girls. Since people of the steppe received only one name in life, its selection carried much symbolism, often on several levels; the name imparted to the child its character, fate, and destiny. Some children get sick nearly because his or her name is too hard for him or her. That’s why in certain times families give odd names to protect their children safe.

They are using a dictionary definition, I believe. It is “Engineering of Chaos”, which is to describe how computer systems, especially when distributed, can have near random failure states, resulting in what appears to be a chaotic system. Network partitioning, hard drives failing, bits randomly flipping because of physics would all be examples of such failure states.

The engineering comes in when we try to simulate such situations and create processes for hardening applications against those types of failure.
Wait... I thought they banned guns in the U.K.

Great work! You've come up with a fanatic streamlined UI for both entering excercises and doing workouts.

You know you've hit on something great when everyone's reaction is to ask for more features. Here's my wishlist:

* Custom excercise names (so that your autocomplete doesn't have to be comprehensive)

* A timer during the exercises that are timed (I find it annoying while I'm in the gym to constantly set alarms for every exercise in every set and I can't always easily see a clock)

* Ability to add descriptions ("Remember to keep your back straight", settings on machines)

If this is open source, I'd be happy to contribute.

Yeah people on HN and elsewhere really have this warped view about how secure things are. They don’t understand that militaries and intelligence agencies are run by normal people with normal beauracies and dumb rules and shortsights. Look at the Snowden leaks, these people are not magical space wizards.

I agree. Ikea furniture is so cheap and readily available that reusing it after a renovation isn't exactly worth the trouble. I have an ikea table that is as new but I'm planning to either give it away or throw it in the trash because it's taking up space and cost abour 30€. Am I going to bother putting it on craigslist to recover 10 or 20€? It's not worth it.
Easy to sort out with an help flag.
Fast tracking does not have the same downside as quotas. With fast-tracking you can have some minimum standard, with quotas you are more or less forced to accept people that are arbitrarily bad simply because you did not get enough applications.

Another way of thinking about this is if you take say 2+ weeks to vet everyone then some perfectly qualified people are going to drop out because they found a job on day 3. On the other hand if you simply adjust the schedule so group X gets an answer within 3 days you are going to end up with more perfectly qualified people from group X without lowering your standards.

Similarly if you promote someone sooner they are less likely to look for a new job right after a promotion. That does not mean you need to promote people that are not capable, just reduce mandatory waiting periods.

Yeah but that’s the snake oil. How many people are going to succeed at doing that? How many such businesses can possibly exist? You’d say I’m not creative, but I’d say I’ve seen the scope of what sells and there is little of anything you can earn passively. There’s no “set it and forget it” beyond informercials. Anyone with common sense who’s not in the business of self deluding themselves will see this. If you try playing a passive role in a business, that business will flounder and fail. If you have a successful cash flowing business, you’re a fool to be passive with it. You should be marketing it and growing it or get into some other business. The idea that entrepreneurs should seek work/life balance is some real Last Man stuff.

> Are they using the formal definition of chaos, or just a colloquialism?

Is it a colloquialism to use a word in its normal English sense? Chaos as a word precedes Chaos Theory by some thousands of years. If I write a theory and take over an existing word in everyday use, it seems a bit much to accuse every one else of colloquiallism when they use an existing but less strict definition?
I hate "PowerPoint", but what I really hate is bad meetings with the veneer of professionalism from having a presentation. I've wasted plenty of my life in such meetings (sometimes giving the presentation).

Of course, there were boring meetings and boring slides before PowerPoint. I'm old enough to remember professors using those transparent slides.

IMHO, things would go better if:
* meetings had a clear objective, so you could tell what kind of information you might need to gather, share, or discuss to achieve it.
* people focused on the story, not the document. I've found that most people seem to think that "writing presentation" == "preparing for the meeting", rather than being able to discuss the story without a presentation, and having it there to jog your memory and provide some visual aids.
* we didn't ask presentations to work for both people in the meeting, and those who weren't there, but want to "see the presentation". These are totally different requirements to put on a document, and as a result, it's hard to do either one well.

I've given a ton of "read slide title and bullet point" presentations (sorry, humanity), and I wouldn't say I'm a master or anything now, but I know I can do the whole presentation without slides, and I might blow through 5 or more slides in a minute, just using each as a beat to make a specific point visually, and then I might spend 5 minutes on one slide, digging into more complex information.

The slide deck will not make sense to people who weren't there. ;-) But a 1-2 page set of notes can summarize it, which comes from preparing the story itself.
Agreed. 10.2 was the first OS X release that felt usable day-to-day without running into too many bugs, annoyingly missing features, or frustrating UI decisions.

10.4 felt like the first version that was a pleasure to use. It felt like the polish had finally caught up with OS 9.

> you ever take it apart, you might as well throw it away.

I'm sure virtually no other piece of hone furniture was ever designed to be taken apart. Iikea's stuff is designed to be easily shipped and put together by unskilled people, but not to be taken apart. I'm sure that you won't rate your cellphone or laptop by how well it handles being disassembled.
Nice article! All the hours of arguing, testing or experimenting you can save by simply reading the only true source of information, the code. Wish more people would actually do this. I've seen people spending days trying to understand if a feature is supposed to be on by reading requirements or issue trackers, when a quick look at the code would tell you the answer in 30 seconds.
One reason would be that the vendors require support. Of course there are supported embedded versions of Linux that they could use..
Just to clarify, each number will have a finite "factorization" using the decomposition in the basis of the Vector Space. The problem is that the base is so big that it is not very meaningful.

To allow an infinite decomposition you must add a topology or a metric to the space, so there is possible to define a convergence of the infinite sum. This are for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schauder_basis and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert_space#Orthonormal_base... . They are not basis in the Vector Space sense, they are an extension. :)

The usual metric doesn't play nice with factorization, so the problem is to choose the right metric. There is s standard trick to use the p-adic order in rationals, but I'm not sure if something similar is defined for multiple primes (It should be possible.) But if you try to complete the rationals with the new metric, you don't get the real numbers, you get a different set.

--

One recommendation is to think first were are you going to use the new definition/extension. There are just to many form to extend a definition, but it's very difficult to choose the right one (whatever it means). If you know where you are going to use it, you can try to make a tradeoff to get something similar enough to the old definition and something big enough to include more interesting cases.
System time gets set either from the GPS signal if not connected to the network or another NTP server if you are at boot. The satellite gives you a coarse time directly (accurate to milliseconds I think), plus a high precision frequency reference driven by the onboard atomic clock, which NTP uses to keep time. Once setup, this thing is supposedly capable of stability in the microsecond range, which is better than you'd get relying on an external server (dunno if true yet however).

NTP can set your system time I believe.

Lack of a RTC doesn't matter in this case because you wouldn't want one, they typically aren't stable enough. You're not supposed to turn it off very often anyway. If you were more serious about it than me you'd probably add a rubidium oscillator to serve as a secondary reference when GPS is offline and hook the whole thing up to a large battery, so that it never turns off. I don't care that much though, I'm just having fun with cheap toys.
I noticed that the paper mentions constructing a triangulation of a set of initial sample points, which would allow for the optimization domain to be any convex polytope. Is this something you are planning to explore/incorporate?

EDIT: I see now that this is not an implemention of the algorithm in the paper, but its own algorithm entirely. Even so, it appears to me the same technique could be used in this case.
That seems like the best option: multiple users whose activity patterns aren’t highly similar (i.e. couples who run together) and blur start / end points which aren’t used by many people at different times.
Not the heat map of surroundings, but the map of routes taken by people, especially when it's not anonymised due to getting overlapped by other data, can surely be considered as personal data. Like in this case, it's with soldiers patrolling remote areas.

I guess the devs who made this heatmap forgot that one should remove data when there is not enough info to anonymise it by virtue of aggregation.(overlapping of multiple paths in this case).

What I was suggesting is that people should care about who gets to see the data they generate and try to minimise the count.

Same here - and I've been to theatres in multiple EU countries. People definitely don't talk, absolutely don't talk on their phones(they would be kicked out if they did), and eating - meh, just the standard popcorn stuff. I've been to one theatre which also served proper food but you actually sat at a table not in a theatre seat, it felt more like a restaurant with the film playing in the background.

Sounds better but still defeatable. I could track individual players throughout the casino (which is already common practice, I think) and decide on payout depending on how much money I already made through them.

E.g., if someone already dumped a lot of money into other games, I can give them above-average odds of winning and be sure I still make a profit (and they make a loss), otherwise I'll give them below-average odds.

If I tune this right, the average outcome over all players will still look "fair".

Or I simply give the above-average play sessions to strawmen.

The mach kernels in general are buggy, regardless of the release. e.g. I'm pretty sure they end up delivering SIGPIPE to the wrong thread in some circumstances on Sierra. There is also a problem with recvmsg not returning control messages some time.

I’d believe it needed work after a major rewrite and is still in someone’s backlog. They seem to have a fairly small dev team - probably busy with device support & other time-sinks.

Yes and no.

Banks want it because credit card transactions are significant (almost infinitive) more profitable than distributing physical money around and having bank offices open for customers. Especially in Sweden where the population/km2 can take a very sharp dive and the distance between banks and ATM's can be far.

Many large companies also wants it. Mass transit want that people get a subscription so that the only one buying tickets is tourists that then can pay tourism prices. Supermarkets want that people user the membership card that is linked to a credit card.

If the purpose was only to do crime prevention then the solution would look very different. Instead what we have is the mixing of multiple interests of strong parties against the interest of everyone else.

Maybe I've forgotten more C than I'd like to admit,

while (--argc > 0 && (*++argv)[0] == '-')

Notice that the decrement always occurs before the ‘>’ is
evaluated. This would be true even if it were postfix (i.e., argc-- > 0).

but isn't the last statement ("This would be true even if...") in error?
IIRC a post-decrement would occur after the ‘>’ is evaluated.

I found it interesting that this was not widely known. I am from the UK and was fully aware that this was their other role but it seems many in the US are unfamiliar with this information. I am pretty sure that I have just picked up that information from US film/TV which is why it is surprising to me.
TeXStudio would be a perfect example of its abysmal tooling. It’s better than the CLI tools but it’s an awful editor and highlights how incompatible with a good writing experience LaTeX is.

Yes, many people produce good work in it - it’s output is fantastic after all - but an editor that would have been a substandard user experience in the 90s is the best LaTeX has in tooling.

That’s exactly what I mean!

The fraction of IKEA furniture thrown away would be likely to match the fraction being IKEA in homes. That is, significant.

A problem with the IKEA stuff is that it’s a) cheap, so little monetary value in that old table you don’t need any more - even if it’s still in perfect condition and b) A prospective buyer can buy a new one (still cheap) and the new one is trivial to transport home compared to the used one that needs some disassembly.

So being cheap obviously makes it thrown away a lot - regardless of quality. You don’t hesitate to throw out something that wasn’t expensive, and prospective buyers always have the option of buying new.
