The block is valid only if the transactions are in the correct order, but the miner is incentivized to figure out the right order (specifically incentivized to include as many transactions as possible).

Edit: You are always spending a specific input, so to broadcast B->C, B would have to wait for A->B and specifically name that transaction. The miner _could_ receive these transactions out of order, but that should not be an issue.
Both works, but I did mean adjectives!

Sidenote, I've noticed a lot of "wrong word" choices when I read through my posts here. There's no reason for it as far as I can tell... native english speaker, usually posting with a keyboard, hell I have a creative writing degree.

But I keep catching slipups like that. Super weird.
but it's presented in an entirely respectful manner.

A "respectful manner" first involves asking oneself, "what are the important aspects of flying an injured plane that I am ignorant of? In light of that, are my criticisms valid?" From where I sit, the original post did none of that. Nope, just "derpy, derp, she did not do it the way I, a person who has probably never flown a plane or handled a radio in an emergency situation, would do it." To put it more bluntly, it came across like someone talking out their arse.

I cannot find the link now, but I remember reading a recent article saying that what VSCode does is basically storing some context information for each line. When input changes, the line is reparsed, and then the context provides enough information on how to modify the parse tree.
Languages usually have a foreign function interface (FFI for short) to interface with external libraries. That's not as easy as one could expect, even for languages that are "closer to the metal": I remember Pascal and C different parameters passing conventions, left to right vs right to left and the cleaning of stack... you need to use compiler directives and careful thinking. Also which memory manager you use and the fact that DLLs might not "see" the same address space.

You mention Python that they say has an easy FFI with C. That's nice but it's usually used for the performance more than for reusing code.
The leaning building across from my office, for example, has nothing to do with seismic issues but basic design/engineering/construction flaws

You say that, and then you claim that seismic engineering is free from such flaws? That seems a bit like hubris.
Yes you will be. But we use a different interface. Checkout this guide: http://www.graalvm.org/docs/reference-manual/polyglot/

Select your start and your target language and it will show you an example. Its a very basic example, but it basically works with all Java types. We will provide better docs soon.

Well, I don't know, the Indian government seems to think caste discrimination is a real problem (c.f. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservation_in_India). I certainly would object quite strenuously to a government that operated on caste principles and enforced caste segregation and diminished rights for some castes. World War II did not begin because of Nazis' views on Jews, so I don't know that that part of the question really makes sense.

I do find it a little strange how many people want to turn the concept of "diversity" on its head and tell me the real diversity problem is that we don't let enough people with racist views into power.

First, the JVM already has the Nashorn JS engine.
Second, if I'm "working on a Java app", that means that it's already running in a JVM. Where does the faster runtime come from? Is executing JS from Java using Graal faster than running actual Java code? Is it just faster than Nashorn? Something else?

Unless you are literally homeless and eating at soup kitchens because you have zero income, then you have some money, even if you aren't rich.

There is always someone who can have less than you. I have seen plenty of homeless people used for their money by someone claiming romantic interest, usually women.

When I was a homeless woman, I knew a homeless guy who had fantasies I would provide for him in exchange for sex. Yeah, no.

I did the homemaker thing and supported my husband's career. It cost me a career. Time is money as they say. I'm divorced and I am still struggling to make ends meet.

So that's not the same thing then is it?
Well, it's complicated, but analytic philosophy tends to affirm modern science, whereas continental philosophy tends to be responding to Hegel's idea that our view of reality is ultimately determined by our culture. Also analytic philosophy tends to affirm liberalism, whereas continental philosophy tends to reject it for either socialism or traditionalism.
Since you seem to like WhatsApp:

Who pays for it now that it is free?

I for one refuse to think that Facebook bought it for a number of billion USD and keep operating and improving it for no good reason.

We also know, based on what they had to tell EU and based on their new EULA - that they tried to introduce by default - that they wanted to harvest metadata from it.

Attacking Telegram while simultaneously praising WhatsApp seems really strange to me.

As for Signal, that's another story. They have their own issues but I personally believe it is better than both Telegram and WhatsApp.

Not according to the article. They say that SBCL's GC is not in the same league as the JVM's GC, based on experience running other services on the JVM.

What the Mac 32-bit app phase-out means to you
This sounds fantastic. It seems to follow that eventually computers will be able to analyze vastly more tissue/cells than humans are capable of.
This being HN, I can’t believe anyone hasn’t mentioned Searle (on the list) or Hofstaedter yet as prominent thinkers on computing, philosophy of maths, and the limits of the ongoing AI summer. In ‘Goedel, Escher, Bach’ Hofstaedter has entire chapters dedicated to LISP and its philosophical implications / foundations, ie homoiconicity, metacircularity.
Viability of unpopular programming languages
Analytic started with the observation that some philosophical problems can be solved (or rather, be made obsolete) by carefully analyzing the language in which these problems are stated. So this school of philosophers is very careful in ensuring what they state is clear and unambiguous. Obviously, this limits analytic philosophers to a subset of our language when they express their thoughts.

Continental philosophers are harder to characterize in a few words (at least for me), because in a sense they use more diverse methods when seeking insights. Many of their works are at the same time philosophical and sociological. For example, Habermas states that truth is a social construct, and explains how society constructs their truths.

I'd say both schools contribute useful insights to philosophy. Read analytics to deepen your understanding of language and scientific method, and to refine your 'fallacy detector'. Read continentals to deepen your understanding of human behavior and social structures. And this is of course a huge simplification, because a) the distinction between these schools is purely artificial, and b) philosophers of both schools have contributed significantly to all areas of philosophy.
> Nothing Happens Between Blocks

Actually, this is only partially true. With Lightning, things can most certainly "happen" in between blocks. Granted, some things that "happen" may never make it to the main chain, but many things will get rolled up and committed for all to "see".

No. Their duty cycle per plane is 3-4x what other airline companies do. Their aircrafts undergo a lot more stress than other airlines, so the fact they have so many more flights isn't impressive, it's the CAUSE of their problems.

Several years ago they had a case of their fuselage ripping open midflight, and the reason was that the stress of taking off and landing puts a lot more stress on their planes.

This way I get to leverage Excel as my UI for categorization, analysis, graphing, etc.

I’ve been debating for a while what to do with the app next but didn’t think many people would be interested. Is this the the kind of thing you’re looking for?
The protocol says to only accept valid blocks.

Part of being a valid block is "only spend BTC you have". B-to-A-first violates that.

Other miners would reject such a block as invalid and refuse to propagate it. Even if some did, the vast majority would not consider it valid, and the next published block (new transactions + proof of work) would extend from a block that didn't have that transaction in it.
But it isn’t a clock because it doesn’t tell us how much time has passed. PoW allows for the creation of an ordering. I’m not sure these metaphors are helpful.

Let's not give them the benefit of the doubt here. They're shills. They have a vested financial interest in twisting logic and reason to convince the world that a secret cabal of bureaucrats and bankers are conspiring against this particular technology.

This is the primary problem with discussing anything crypto-related online. In a technical discussion about the merits of Linux and free software, you can be reasonably sure that whomever you are engaging with does not have a financial interest in pushing their particular stance. It seems like in any crypto-related discussion, it is impossible to find honest, impartial debate.

Just to precise if you were confused like me, Cambridge gave him an actual PhD in Biology based on the book - meaning the book satisfied all the prerequisites of a PhD at Cambridge and he had to do a viva - not just an honorary degree.

It's common for downvotes to be given for wrong or incorrect statements, regardless of the manner or amount of respect. Downvotes do not necessarily indicate that someone is being inappropriate. And downvotes are not necessarily bad -- incorrect information should move to the bottom of the thread.

Note also that downvotes don't prevent responding with why something is wrong.

Think of what it means if downvotes are symmetric with upvotes. Upvotes are given for being right, being funny, being respectful, and a variety of other reasons. Nobody really asks why something is being upvoted. But people often take downvotes personally or assume they mean something specific, and people often ask why downvotes are being cast.

Also be aware that the HN guidelines recommend not discussing voting, but your question is honest and you're newer here, so I hope this helps.
>It'd be like constantly worrying about protecting yourself from lightning.

A lightning rod (US, AUS) or lightning conductor (UK) is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals or strike termination devices.

In a lightning protection system, a lightning rod is a single component of the system. The lightning rod requires a connection to earth to perform its protective function. Lightning rods come in many different forms, including hollow, solid, pointed, rounded, flat strips or even bristle brush-like. The main attribute common to all lightning rods is that they are all made of conductive materials, such as copper and aluminum. Copper and its alloys are the most common materials used in lightning protection.[1]

Come on now - that's not fair.

I have lived most of my life in NY. I have spent a lot of time interacting with Albany, including briefly having access clearance to SUNY Plaza. I have met with people in the NY government who seemed like they had good intentions, and those who didn't - in the executive branch, the Senate, and the Assembly.

And I think it's very reasonable to always suspect that the motivation is not consumer protection, but defense of entrenched interests. Saying so doesn't put someone in a "tiny fantasy world."

Your experiment shouldn't need to presume the coin is fair.

Flipping an unfair coin twice in a row and discarding the HH and TT doubles will generate close to 50% HT pairs and 50% TH pairs. This only presumes that subsequent flips are independent events.

It's still not going to be exactly 50%, because random events are random. You can get as small an error margin as you need by increasing the number of trials. And in some cases, this property of statistical analysis makes it easier to increase N than reduce the randomness and uncertainty in the experiment.

You'd think, but honestly in my experience it wasn't like that. An expert system would have done as well, or better. Possibly my experiences were colored by the cross-specialization nature of the issue -- specialists seem reluctant to engage any thinking outside of their area, I found. Like a software engineer would never consider that the problem they're investigating is caused by memory bits flipping randomly.

You forget to add that in the 60' the US changed its immigration policy and started to become more diverse. More diversity means less connection between people. In addition the family structure started to collapse and many people grow up in smaller family units. Those developments are now touted as something positive but there are many negatives to it, not only the break of the community. If you go to more homogenous countries with slightly more conservative values you will get a bit of a different vibe.
