Mid-90s, a very large cell phone company at the time, working on a car phone (the head units had their own microcontrollers).... Discovered that the interrupt service routine was calling the reset vector instead of returning from the keypad interrupt. The original author apparently didn't understand how it was supposed to work, and a simple RTS would eventually overflow the stack....so on every keypad interrupt the whole code flow started over from reset. Worked surprisingly well.
> "...the development of open social protocols that support the network effect usefulness of large social networks without a centralized company in charge."

Not sure what exact shape the author imagines this might take, but I've had this idea (dream) in the back of my mind for a long time.. We need a standardized protocol that is open (I.E. not controlled by or dependent on 1 or 2 companies), private and secure by default, and dead simple to setup. For a while a few years ago I was really excited about the Bittorrent Bleep concept. The fact that it's been discontinued demonstrates just how important it is for these protocols to be open source and have multiple implementations!

Imagine a protocol that was P2P, supported chat/messages/voice/video, group messaging, integrated microblogging, ability to follow your friends and rank their posts with your own algorithm! Imagine if it was modular. You could choose from a half dozen post ranking algorithm plugins, or write your own, or sign up for extra-value services from companies that were competing for your business (maybe providing curated post lists or cloud storage of your posts/PMs).

I realize that absolutely none of this is innovative on it's own. We've been able to send encrypted messages/host blogs/script our own algorithms forever. But it's highly fragmented and requires a certain technical acumen that many people just don't have. My grandparent's aren't going to host and configure their own blog. Not going to happen. But, while it lasted, Bittorrent Bleep was entirely doable for them.
Good luck with your CPAP. When I got mine it was like my brain firing on 8 cylinders instead of 3. Do beware that it can take a couple of weeks of use, during which your body and brain may be a little "bewildered" at getting all this oxygen during sleep!

Oh and your insurance (if you live in a country that has it) may require specific amounts of usage in the first month. Be very aware of that, it's easy to be "non-compliant" because you took it off in the middle of the night.
Yes I have this sometimes. It's even accompanied with a sort of tingling in/on my head that starts from the back/crown of my head. I always realize it's happening when I start to lose track of what I was thinking about, and can't recall thoughts I had just before I realized that I was falling asleep.

By this time it's too late to just let it happen, and I'll have wasted a 'chance' to fall asleep so to speak.
I've been thinking about my sleep a lot more as of late.

I have no trouble being awake and activity 18-19 hours a day, but unless I'm trying to keep going, around hour 18, I naturally do what Mr Winter describes. It's lights out for 5-6 hours.

However, I'm told that I'm a frequent sleep talker and have a habit of standing up, surveying the room, and then lying back down (of which I have no recollection).

As well it's come to my attention (partly from those who happen to live with me) that my body seems to "cycle" different sensory groups on and off. The talking and standing being part of it, but I've also noticed external sounds influencing my dreams, many of which border on lucidity.

I assume this is abnormal (would like to hear otherwise), probably stemming from some deep seated need to be in constant control, but I quite enjoy being able to actively think and remember during my sleep cycle.

Which is a contrast to when I was younger and would have trouble falling asleep and had to actively drill more or less what Mr Winter taught, to no avail. Counting sheep just led to an internal Wikipedia dive into sheep and sheep related topics.
>For a liked tweet? No, not even in a tense situation.

It's not the "liked tweet" itself, it's having come into attention, people demanding something to be done, media blowing it, etc.

Tons of similar gaffes go by without an incident as well...
Yes, THIS. I often have to hold a hand in front of my rear view mirror to not be blinded at night by SUV headlights.
You should have sold books, and expanded to bicycles later.
Might be it's time to finally run it under Valgrind's massif and try to fix it myself.
If anything this survey shows how hopelessly fractured the GNOME desktop community is. Add GNOME, Cinnamon, MATE, and Unity and you get 41% (vs KDE's single 35%).

I'd say that -unfortunately- the DE/WM world is irrelevant these days. We need decent UIs & OSes for the mobile world; Android and iOS need competition. The latter is proprietary, the former partly FOSS but data hungry.
Definitely not the only one. And around here, you also have to deal with the occasional jacked up truck that's even higher. I've thought that there should be a maximum headlight height, pretty design of large vehicles be damned. 18-wheeler designers figured out how to do it without being ugly. If they were designed like trucks and SUVs are, their headlights would probably be above the normal cars' roof line.
If you know what to build and you are experienced in it waterfall is probably better.

If you still try to find a good market fit and try to reduce risk while acting with limited knowledge and based on presumptions, than agile shines. Same goes for iterative improvement of a running system.
And that's particularly true of South East Asia, where human driver costs are negligible and differences in road networks and driver behaviour create all sorts of interesting new challenges for self driving software even if it handles California near perfectly.
I'm always worried about that but have been since about 2012 so it is hard to know what the future holds. Best hedge plan is to live well within means and save lots so if/when there is another big crash have savings to last until the economy gathers steam again.
This reminds me of an experience I had once. I was lying in bed, it was about mid-day, listening to music. Suddenly I started to feel pins and needles all over my body and then felt my body disintegrate, as if I was just a "blob" of energy or something hovering in the air. Lastly, I could clearly hear every single instrument and note in the song I was listening to without trying, as if the different layers of the music were being deconstructed in real time. The experience felt kind of like a dream, because the more I evaluated or thought about it in my head the more it seemed to slip away - it was strongest when I just calmed down and experienced it without trying to think about it. Eventually my mind got the better of me and it stopped. I've never done drugs, but I imagine that this might be what some hallucinogenic experiences feel like (though to be honest I have no real idea).

I think a couple of things contributed to this weird state that I've never been able to reproduce again:

* This happened soon after my family relocated to the other side of the world and my sleep schedule was still a bit messed up.

* I was a teenager and at the time was going through a phase of interest in lucid dreaming, so I'd been keeping a dream journal and got to the point where I had really good dream recall. I think it also helped me stay conscious closer to the boundary between sleep and wakefulness (eg as opposed to just blacking out into sleep I would remain conscious during more of that transition process)

* I had been practising taking mid-day naps because I read that those might be the best time to induce a lucid dream. I wasn't trying to do this when this happened, but it _was_ somewhere around mid-day and I _was_ in bed, maybe my body just decided it was time for a nap and entered that state between sleep and wakefulness.

I wish I could make it happen again, but I've never been successful with inducing this.
G20 SUMMIT 2017 :Theresa May says UK will be 'bold' on world stage
Technology has regressed seriously at least two times that I can think of. After the Sea People invaded Mesopotamia, and after the fall of the Roman Empire. Arguably in some ways after the colonization of America too, a lost of technological knowledge was lost. It took several centuries to recover from each of those, and technology right now depends on resources that are not renewable and that we are making more difficult to get. If we regressed again, it could take a very long time to recover, because of the exponential growth you mention.
That is overly simplistic. Undoubtedly Trump's unpopular status has helped the issue gain traction this time around, but there are two key aspects you can't overlook here: First, CA obtained the data improperly, raising the new question of just how much abuse has occurred. Second, blame here isn't being cast on Trump or his campaign, but the entities that improperly obtained data, or allowed it to happen.

Further, the "only angry because it's President Trump" narrative ignores the fact that there has been a rising tide of concern and pushback on data collection and customer surveillance business models. The fact that Trump's campaign was involved may have been a catalyst, but a catalyst cannot operate in a vacuum, it requires very specific preconditions, ready and primed for that spark. And the longer it builds, the smaller the spark needs to be.

I think everyone gets that occasionally, but to me it feels like I'm falling and I wake up to catch myself.
I was curious about this a few years ago and looked it up. It's called hypnagogia and people have been known to try to induce it deliberately for creative purposes.

It doesn't help that bike lights can get comically expensive. I actually remember someone trying to sell me a $200 bike light in some shop on University Ave in Palo Alto a number of years ago (and then looking me like I was some kind of pond scum when I was horrified by the price).

Can't really blame people for not being willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a glorified flashlight. (In my case, I was in grad school at the time. The bike itself had only cost $400!)
Shit.. that's almost exactly how I've been doing since I was a kid. The difference is that I do the other way around, starting from my feet.
Early 90's. Big fortune 500 website running on a single Pentium 90 desktop PC. We had to remove the case on the computer to allow for more cooling and put a consumer grade house type fan next to it. Otherwise, it constantly overheated and would reboot.

So real data center, racks, etc. But this cheap ass, caseless, P90 on a shelf with a household fan blowing on it, while making millions of dollars.

I was mystified why there was no budget to use a real 1U server. The internet was pretty new at this time, but it was driving revenue.

Also, side info, this caseless P90 still exists. Sitting in my friend's cubical, naked and caseless. Pure glory. It's a hero. Tech stack was NCSA webserver, C, and Ingress plus daily updates with a 1.44MB floppy disk.
Same for me. Sometimes on bad nights it can be hours but I need that time to "unwind".

The music is awesome. I sometimes get hypnogogia. I can imagine the music and then, as I get closer to sleep, I actually hear the music.

If I don't imagine music and I get hypnogogia, I'll hear people chatting next to me. That was quite scary before I understood what was going on.

If I don't get hypnogogia, I'll start imagining odd scenarios. Sometimes I'll recognise that it's a sign I'm about to drift off and then bang I'm awake.

From what I've read, this comes from straddling wakefulness and light sleep phase.

I believe Thomas Edison and others took advantage of the creative power. He drifted whilst holding a ball bearing above a plate so when he went, the ball would clatter on the plate. He'd wake up and note everything down.

Me, I just wanna sleep. I struggle as it is and I cannot nap. The idea of purposefully preventing sleep sounds like torture.
Sounds very similair to Dali's process.
Where he would meditate holding a kitchen utensil on top of a pan.
And when he would fall asleep it would fall making a sound and wake him up with i inspration for his next painting.

>"But some trade group executives also warned that any attempt to curb the use of consumer data would put the business model of the ad-supported internet at risk."

Yes the "ad-supported internet" may be at risk. So what? Is it unreasonable to think that this model might not actually be sustainable long term?

Why should this business model be any less vulnerable than any other business model? Note to Big Tech - public opinion also has the power to "disrupt."
I've never been good at taking naps except when exhausted, so I'll have to try this next time.

I'm very good at getting a good night's sleep, though. I fall asleep within a minute of my head hitting the pillow. The key for me is to go to bed at a consistent time (plus or minus 30 minutes or so) every night, get 8 hours consistently, limit light exposure before bed, eliminate caffeine entirely, and generally adopt a stress-free mental attitude. I can deviate slightly from this, but if I deviate too much I start having sleep issues.

As a result I consistently wake up without an alarm at the same time every day (plus or minus 30 minutes) feeling refreshed.
I'm baffled. Why the downvotes?

Because HN is now like Reddit, but for techno-snobs. If you don't follow the tightly defined groupthink, you'll get downvoted.

Many years of discussion groups have proven that downvoting has a chilling effect on discussion groups. Allow upvotes, and "spam" flags.
Pity, the repeated discounts from grab and uber making trips almost free will quickly be a thing of the past...

I like it when inventors subsidize my life style in an effort to get market share. Hope gojek can become a competitor in the markets I go to so that those discounts start again.
> Should I blame my Computer Science education for not teaching it to me?

Which computer science curriculum doesn't require a course in theory of programming languages where functional programming concepts and history ( most likely lisp or scheme ) are taught? But if you weren't taught that, then yes, you should blame your CS department.
Ask HN: Are there any purely keyword-based search engines with no NLP?
I want to query the web based on specific criteria (ie keywords), no what Google or Bing thinks I really meant.

Ideally I'd love an interface to a large database including the text in each webpage that has been crawled. But something like Google the way it was 10 years ago will still work. Are there any such search engines left? Even ddg is switching to semantic/NLP results.
Those are good points. If I have trouble imagining self-driving vehicles navigating Boston at rush hour, it truly boggles the mind to imagine them making it around Bangkok, Jakarta, or KL. I'm an experienced driver and I wouldn't want to.

And, as you say, while a lot of people probably overestimate the driver cost as a percentage of a taxi ride in developed Western countries, it truly is almost negligible in Southeast Asia. It's very common for people to have full-time drivers.

I doubt it's _that_ uncommon in the UK -- most of the mobile providers offer home broadband services, often at a discount for mobile subscribers. Struggling to find specific/up-to-date numbers, but e.g. Vodafone have >300,000 home broadband customers (which is not an insignificant amount) and EE have around 900,000. I'd imagine a fair percentage of those are also mobile subscribers.

My understanding is this is a setting for groups where Facebook allows the group to be set up to allow regular members approve new ones vs requiring the admin to do it. I believe it is up to the admin to change this.
Every other Saturday I help out at a cat shelter, then have lunch at my "Saturday" cafe and work on my personal project while there. That evening I usually make cat food, watch dumb YouTube videos, and work on my project some more. When I'm not going to the shelter I sleep in a little and then go to the gym instead.

Sundays are usually chore days focused on animals and cleaning (well, we're trying to get better with the cleaning). This is when I do a water change for the fish, go shopping for meat for the cat food (and then prep the food), get any other cat supplies I might need, take the cat/s for a walk or supervise them on the porch, and tidy the house. Once all the pressing chores are done I work on my personal project and watch dumb YouTube videos.
Does AutoHotKey function on the login screen?
Even if the beam shapes are perfect: old anti-glare regulations limit the intensity of light that goes above the horizon and with the technology of the time that implied a certain limit to below-horizon intensity. Which was still tolerable when the car hit the occasional bump, peeked over a hilltop and so on. But with LED and improved mirror designs, we can make the contrast at the cutoff line much bigger and now technically regulation-adhering cars can be devastatingly blinding whenever the road surface is not perfectly horizontal.

I have always mentally separated what I described in my first comment from what I have come to associate with the term hypnic jerk.

The first is more of a mental, physically still thing. The other is, for me, a sudden motion of a large body part, usually linked to dreaming about falling off something. More importantly, the latter is emotionally neutral. I wake up going "oh, I didn't really fall. It was just a dream."

When the former happens, it is very emotionally uncomfortable. It's a feeling of pure dread, but sort of wrapped in cotton.

> Technology has continually progressed across human history

This is the so-called "Whig view of history", and while it looks superficially true it ignores those cases where technologies have been lost, abandoned, become uneconomic to maintain, or given up for political reasons (e.g. China abandoning its exploration fleets).

How do you account for the European "dark ages", for example?

Collapse is possible: supply chains may be extremely vulnerable to certain risks, such as a war in Korea or an earthquake in Silicon valley. Decline is also possible: life expectancy is starting to fall in the US, as it did in Russia in the post-Communist period.
Thats actually not so bad imo, it's fairly common to build a site in wordpress just for the CMS, then convert it to static HTML periodically and rehost it straight from CDN edge servers.

The technique described in the article is the common autogenic training [0]. I was taught this when I was a child, althought it was never of much use to me, because it didn't seem to help when I tried to use it before tests or when trying to relax. But it is effective for many people and I was even warned not to do it while bathing, because of a risk of drowning.

A fun extension of this I just associated was that in my school years, I'd fall asleep in class, but my auditory processes would keep piping information into my brain in such a way that when the teacher thought they'd have me "caught" by asking me what the answer to the problem on the board was I could more often than not answer correctly without delay.
You can trigger and even control this state. It's caused by deeply letting go and avoiding structured thoughts. I used to spend 2 hours per day on the train, for 5 years. I always kinda napped in the train, usually with ambient music in my headphones. At some point, I was able to go exactly between the waking and sleeping state, or lucid dreaming. It's an incredibly powerful experience, you can control anything, you are dreaming while your consciousness is fully awake. I also had one experience that could be described as spiritual or religious (though I'm none of that) that was very powerful.

10 Practices to Compete in the New World of Marketing
I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet: make sure to talk to your professor, frequently. Introductory analysis courses exist primarily to teach a certain way of thinking, and there is, after all, no better way to learn how to think than to talk to someone who already knows the ways. Take advantage of what you have.
Whether this is intuitive for you as a developer isn’t the point. The point is that Facebook gave your friends permission to expose your data, without making this very clear at all to you. It seems hard to argue that this was in users’ best interests.
I think your last point is a key point in this. Such a protocol wouldn’t just need to match what’s already available by centralized services. Like Email or HTTP before it, it’d need to be innovative in and of itself.

If Snapchat were an open Facebook implementation, it would not have taken off.
