That's because your personal bias is preventing you to see legitimate uses for a firearm. Good quality would be being able to hit a target in self-defense without the gun jamming (for example).
The bullpup format has been around since the early 1950s, and that particular form factor has been pretty normal since the 70s.

I don't disagree with your point that arms manufacturers are still producing new models, but that isn't a terribly good illustration of 'new', especially since the arm you linked has been in production for ~30 years.

That's a much more nuanced point than "don't trust anyone with your passwords." I agree with your reasoning, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't ever trust a password manager. It just means that you should have a high standard for when you should trust one.

Not having a password manager opens up attack surfaces as well. Having a password manager integrated into my browser has prevented me from typing my password into a lookalike site from a different domain. It also means I don't use the same password for any two sites, and the password I use for each site is much stronger than it would otherwise be. There's the potential for the password manager to get compromised, but the benefits seem to outweigh that for now.

And the trend continues in which science funding increases under Republican administrations more than it does under Democrat ones. For all their talk, it really is a disappointingly low priority for Democrats.
That gun was made in 1986, over 30 years ago. My whole point is we are seeing an industry that needs growth but has no where to go. If they can get lots of people angry and go buy guns, then they will, but after a certain point, the angry people have all the guns they could ever use. And anytime an old collector dies, their guns get put on the market. Pawn shops are full of guns.

Wouldn't that just be Tufte's ideas? What's missing for it to be a 'UI philosophy'?
I disagree, I think school has a profound effect at an early age. Just like you experienced, but in a negative way, unfortunately. I'm happy you were able to turn it into a positive motivator instead of accepting the prognosis of obviously poor teachers.

My son is already reading at an advanced level and doing math while his classmates barely know the alphabet. He hates school because it's so boring. We are sending him to a class with similarly gifted children so that he won't hate school and will be challenged. Keeping him in a class where kids don't learn as quickly as he does would definitely be a disaster in this case.
I enjoy zealous pedantry. I have strong personal opinions about something that I do a lot (especially the pedantic parts), but most of it is relatively lighthearted.

>This does not mean "reality does not exist" - how would that statement even make sense? Or that our experience is an "illusion" or "wrong". This supposes there is some "correct" way to experience the world which might be different from how the human mind experiences it.

Imagine the Matrix (movie) or any simulation or virtual reality. The "worlds" in those are just bits inside a computer. So that is the "Reality" of the world we are sensing, and the world that the simulation shows only exists within our consciousness. Not in "reality".

If you take that to our reality, then the actual reality (The actual source of our sensations) can look nothing like the reality we experience..Right?

EDIT: At this point, the word "real" loses its meaning and relevance. There is not even a need for a higher reality that acts as a source of our sensations. Think about dreams. It seems that consciousness is capable of generating realities on its own..

Is it possible that there is one big super consciousness, that generates the shared dream we all experience as reality, and could it be what we call god, and when..we are praying..we, the sub consciousnesses are subtly influencing the super consciousness and the dream it creates?..I mean the reality..?

From https://qz.com/1219495/remingtons-ar-15-the-financial-histor...

"It was still a profitable company, except that its owners had loaded it up with debt in typical private-equity style to divert profits to themselves. In the first nine months of 2016, the company could pay $45 million in interest to its creditors and still walk away with a $19 million profit. In the same period in 2017, Feinberg and the company’s remaining investors faced a $60 million loss"

So this just appears to be another example of a private equity company buying up and saddling a profitable business with unsustainable debt, much like what happened with Toys'R'Us et al. The same pattern we've been seeing for a while.
Mostly not that bad. The problems were typically that the guns just sucked. The R51 might have had safety issues, I can't remember off the top of my head, but the other ones were just bargain quality guns at middle of the line prices.

Small bit of trivia: the 8080/Z-80 microprocessors had conditional return instructions that were only a single byte long. I utilized these instructions heavily when trying to cram my code into a single EPROM, because the jump instructions were 2 or 3 bytes.
My 8 year old daughter is on the spectrum (diagnosed level 1; normal IQ in the 110ish range), and the diagnosis has helped us get intensive in-school support. She's doing well academically, but needs support in writing and social skills. Her diagnosis was essential to getting her the help she needs.

I also highly recommend living in a place with a decent school system and a well staffed special education department. Without that, my daughter would be floundering academically and socially isolated.
I think people are forgetting how much easier it is to scale and build a network these days. The moat is the network for facebook but it can be replaced in a relatively short period of time if the right competition enters the market. Facebook has invested a lot of technology toward selling ads and the core product for the users has not changed much (for the better) in the past decade. Classic monopolistic behavior.
Is Nvidia the leader in autonomous driving computation platforms?
May be someone with knowledge of the industry can throw some light. They seem to be the leaders as of now, if you don't count Google obviously. Are there competitors to NVidia?
This is pretty weird, deep stuff to think about. To me, the two main points of the article were:

> While neuroscientists struggle to understand how there can be such a thing as a first-person reality, quantum physicists have to grapple with the mystery of how there can be anything but a first-person reality. In short, all roads lead back to the observer.

and

> Nevertheless, for now I don’t think we are machines — in part because I distinguish between the mathematical representation and the thing being represented. As a conscious realist, I am postulating conscious experiences as ontological primitives, the most basic ingredients of the world. I’m claiming that experiences are the real coin of the realm. The experiences of everyday life — my real feeling of a headache, my real taste of chocolate — that really is the ultimate nature of reality.

The `err, results` params form the signature of a continuation-passing style "errback":

function(err, results) {
if (err) // …
}

It is assumed that this function will be executed asynchronously, and thus it's not possible for anything to consume the return value anyway.

If you want to control the return value, simply return on a new line or use the void operator:

return void handleError(err)
DARPA isn't mentioned, which I consider one of the most effective agencies. Is its budget elsewhere, like DOD?
That pins down an interesting characteristic of the situation. If we manage to self-treat ourselves into passable normality, few people believe we ever had a serious problem in the first place! Or that they (with their actual serious diagnoses) could learn from those who applied self help and rational analysis to their own lives.

I actually think some people get attached to the idea of their victimhood and helplessness, and this can easily become a disincentive to making positive (and very difficult) change.

(Yes I know there is the other side of it which is real, that medical expertise can help too. But like everything else, oversimplifying into a clear binary of diagnosable vs not, is not always useful.)

Requests are rejected essentially when an atomic counter of inflight requests hits the limit. It's important to note that the library doesn't actually keep any kind of queue of requests. That's really not necessary because every system already has a ton of queues in the form of socket buffers, executor queues, etc...

Yes, the basic implementation does reject arbitrary requests. We do have a partitioned limit strategy (currently in the experimental state, which is why it wasn't brought up in the techblog). The partitioned limiters lets you guarantee a portion of the limit to certain types of requests. For example, let's say you want to give priority to live vs batch traffic. Live gets 90% of the limit, batch gets 10%. If live requests only account for 50% of the limit then batch can use up to the remaining 50%. But if all of a sudden there's sustained increase in live traffic you're guaranteed that live requests will only be rejected once the exceed 90% of the limit.
How would the world be different if the US spent more on research over the past 50 years? If the Human Genome Project had been completed in 1993 instead of 2003, for example, would our knowledge be 10-20 years ahead of where we are now?

Knowledge we would be discovering 2038 might be discovered this year. If there is some sort of Moore’s Law for investment in research, by 2050, we’d have technology from 2150 at the current pace?
> she is literally just piece of meat

Huh? Wow, I am speechless... Are you sure you wanted to type that?

Imagine an artist with a muse. She occupies his mind, drives his creativity, unreachability of her perfection inspires hard work and progress, creating works of wonder. Now that artist finally gets intimate with his muse, faces the reality and brutal disappoinment with the illusion that was driving him, making him incapacitated for a while. So the carrot in the form of an ideal woman was responsible for some outstanding work that wouldn't happen otherwise; the moment the goal he hoped for was reached, the illusion was gone, and the well of artistic inspiration in the form of this muse was dry. Yet, something remained from this - a work of art, something the whole society benefits from.

Try to apply this throughout the society to understand how great works were completed; this was one of a few main motivations (of course there were other ones for different works).

Ask HN: What's the best way to test Single-page applications performance?
So for standard HTML website, you can use tools like Web Page Test (webpagetest.org) or any other proprietary tools like GTmetrix.

The problem is that when you have an SPA built with React, Angular, Vue or any other framework, your first-page load will download all the packaged JS and CSS files.

One way I managed to better compare SPA with a standard web is to use this equation to get the Average Page Load Time:

Average Page Load Time = (LT / PS) + APL

LT - Load Time
PS - Pages Per session
APL - Average In-between Page Load Time (measure the time going from the home-page to the second page, like a catalog)

What do you guys think? And how are you guys managing this issue?
I'd be surprised if the Go developers ever care to do this right. Google doesn't use any of this, and all their projects do extensive vendoring with heavy modifications (effectively forking them).

Personally, I despise their approach to developing software, and on principle, I won't really develop software in Go because their attitude permeates through language and software development mechanisms.
> The only possible use for this [FN P90] is calling lots of people quickly at close range.

This is absolutely not true.

The point of the P90 is to be a compact carbine for troops in cramped quarters (think tank crew) with the capability to penetrate soft body armor.

The way it achieves this is with a high speed, low caliber pistol round and full auto operation. Even then, it is only marginally effective. Take away the full auto part (civilian use) and I can't think of a single reason someone would use it, except that it looks "cool".

To reiterate, the purpose of this gun is not to be effective at killing. It is to be as small as possible while still being marginally effective (in the military configuration).
The `err, result` signature of the function indicates that it will be executed asynchronously, and thus the return value can't be captured by anything anyway.
But that's what I'm saying in my comment, I even directly address the issue of hard work. To be a hard worker implies all sorts of luck on its own. If you're a hard worker you've probably grown up in an environment where either the value of hard work was present and its importance was impressed on you explicitly or you've learned implicitly by having contact with hard workers and contact with not hard workers where the hard workers were rewarded and the not hard workers weren't (which btw does not happen all the time). Both of those situations take a lot of luck! You're a hard worker, I totally believe that, but that doesn't eliminate or even reduce the role of luck in your life, it masks it, the luck is just further back, playing a role in the development of a hard-work attitude in the first place.

e: So maybe instead of thinking of it like "I'm lucky because I work hard" perhaps we should think of it like "I work hard because I'm lucky."
Code blocks render properly already. The proper rendering of code blocks (monospaced, fixed line breaks reflecting the original source, because both consistent line breaks and spacing are important for reading code and at least the first and sometimes both are semantically material in code) is not a good rendering for blockquotes.

It would be nice if HN had a format option designed for blockquotes, but in the absence of one using code formatting is the worst possible option, worse than just wrapping the quoted block in quotation marks.
Awesome. Now address the other two groups of people discussed in the article.

"Hot gasses escaping the chamber were essentially flame cutting the top of my hand"

"Problems keeping the magazine in the gun"

"The slide action was very rough, and the rear sight was loose in the dovetail"

"An Idaho man was accidentally shot while loading his R51 pistol. According to court documents, the man did not press the trigger, nor did he depress the grip safety. Yet, the gun allegedly fired and struck him in the abdomen when he inserted a magazine."

From http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/02/foghorn/gun-review-...

"The left side of the R51’s slide rail contacted my hand when the gun cycles"

"The R51’s trigger had no perceptible reset"

"Disassembling Remington’s carry piece is almost as challenging as changing an M1 Carbine’s extractor... When you re-assemble the R51 you must slip a small tab on the slide stop of the gun underneath this little spring. You must insert it perfectly parallel to the slide. If you tilt the slide stop upwards by as little as a 1/16th of an inch, if it rides above the spring, the gun will malfunction" (Note, they did fix this in the second version of the r51)

"Even when the gun is absolutely 100% assembled correctly, it still fails to fire, fires out of battery, and fails to feed with alarming regularity"
It's not standard to medicate for autism, FYI. The standard recommendation is therapy (Applied Behavioral Analysis, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are most common). One benefit of a diagnosis is that often your insurance company will cover more therapy.

The right next step is to get an actual diagnosis, in my opinion. You might be off-base in your suspicions, or it may turn out that your child is more affected than you suspect.
I’m sure it’s the same thing over at Fox, which we know has different biases than CNN. Media organization need to deliver an interesting product or they go bankrupt quickly.

Sure, but loads of businesses have this property.

I don't need to replace my wrenches or my bed or my kitchen knives. Manufacturers stay in business by keeping their operations modest, so they can stay in business with the sales from people changing interests, population growth, and occasional replacements.
That I completely agree with. After being diagnosed, for quite a bit of time I could not think of anything else, felt more anxious and weird, and tried even harder to 'hide' my quirks.

Over time I realized a lot of those quirks are not so weird, or at least not weirder than those of 'normal' people.

In fact, this is one reason why, as I understand it, adult aspies are sometimes warned that they might not want a proper diagnosis, as it can have a severe negative effect (even if just self-worth), and there's not much that can be done to 'solve' the problem.
That's interesting I went to a seminar on Neuro Diversity last week and it's estimated that 10-15% of the population is ND (aspergers being one aspect of ND)

The effectiveness of the P90 has been called into question due to its cartridge, especially if the cartridge is used in the civilian semi-auto version of the P90, the PS90.

I think the primary use for the military full-auto version is VIP duty, where the scenario would be exactly as you describe: killing lots of threats quickly in close proximity (supposedly with minimal collateral damage due to the design of the bullet).

The primary use for the civilian PS90 is to show your friends how much you hate money by turning a questionable boutique round into noise.

It's called Mastodon. Chances are the last time you heard of it was because Lance Ulanoff couldn't find William Shatner and decided to bitch about it in Mashable instead of admitting his ignorance and asking more experienced users for help.

> Or is this the perfect time to start one?

Now would be a great time to start a hosting service that makes it easy to set up personal instances of Mastodon, Pleroma, or Diaspora* and offers support and updates. Such a service would ideally be based in a country that is subject to EU data protection laws and has a habit of saying "Warrant or GTFO" when Uncle Sam wants users' data.
Being interested in science does not mean you have Aspergers. Neither does not having certain interests like sports or clubbing.
