Hahaha, gotta love it when they try to appeal to emotions and whatnot. Hey, I'm another person who doesn't give a shit about someone else having a photo of me on their hard drive. If it's there, it's most likely because I gave it to someone. At that point I lost control over who have access to my photo as that someone could share it with someone else and so on. If you don't trust that person, don't give it to them. If it gets to that person through government surveillance, for example, well, what the heck can I do anyways? I don't think that for a second that making it illegal to possess will somehow help me in that case. Do you think it actually helps you against genuinely malicious actors? Be more careful. In regard to pornography starring my non-existent underage child: yeah, how about, I don't know, pay more attention to your kid, improve your parenting? There are many resources to help you do that. What next, are you going to make the government threaten to kill others if they refuse to feed your kid through taxation because you bred despite the fact you are unable to feed your kid?

Unbelievable that you expect "illegal to possess" laws to be effective. They are not.

On top of that, people usually share all kinds of semi-nude (or even full) photos of their babies, etc. on Facebook. Maybe stop doing that?

I wonder how many of these parents have a teenager daughter posting semi-nudes on Instagram, or full nudes on Snapchat without their parents' knowledge. Go educate your offspring of the risks and potential consequences. Pay more attention to them. Let me reveal another secret: many perverts on the Internet are probably also masturbating to these photos. Who cares? Does it make you furious? Buy a punching bag, or go for a jog. Your idiocy makes me furious and makes you a criminal per https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/127 if you are a British citizen, as you are causing me a great deal of annoyance. Unlike you, I think I should exercise my mental ability that allows me to ignore you and not give a shit instead of depriving you of money and potentially your "freedom". I wonder how you would feel then if I were just like you. You wouldn't like it now, would you?
we‘ve had a look at "MacUpdate Desktop" and it barely works and requires a super-expensive subscription … and there is nothing else. we thought we could do better. 9 months later, MacUpdater 1.0 is born
Surely it'd be much easier for them to open a new test site than to finally open denuclearization talks?

I think this is only a contributing factor to their decision, at best.
Peter Zeihan had some really interesting things to say about Kim Jung Un that completely expanded how I viewed NK.

https://youtu.be/feU7HT0x_qU?t=3928

Edit: The gist of the prevailing theory is that in 1994, days before NK was supposed to talk to SK about re-unification, they suffered a coup. Since at least Kim Jung Il's death, Kim Jung Un has been reversing that coup to realize his grandfather's previous plans.
The subtle thing that I think the notion of 'illegal prime' misses is that it's not actually the prime number that is illegal.

To complete the 'illegality' you need three pieces of information used in tandem:

1) the prime number (which is innocent in its own right)

2) the decompression algorithm (also innocent in its own right)

3) the knowledge that some specific prime number, when viewed through the lens of the decompression algorithm, yields an 'illegal' interpretation. (not illegal in its own right?)

The issue only comes from all three being present. If you have #2 and #3, #1 can be the last puzzle piece needed to create the required set, but no one piece is in-and-of-itself the source of the issue.
Quitting My Job and Going Full Time to Grow My SaaS Company
> This kind of thing gives me confidence in "challenger banks" like Monzo who are building their systems in-house and I hope with a lot more testing than this.

I know someone who interviewed at Monzo and said the interview process and technical test (write a web crawler in Go) was generally a pretty good process. However they "noped!" out of there when the interviewer said that they don't do unit/automated testing, and it's the developer's responsibility to make sure their code works.

This was a while ago, so hopefully things have changed or hopefully the interviewer was not telling the truth (perhaps looking for a reaction?). However if it is the case then they're about as "modern" a bank as all the rest of these legacy banks, or at least will be in a few years time when their technical debt starts to catch up with them.
Does a guy who does unhinged and angry rants on Fox and Friends seem like someone who's in diplomatic control of the situation?
Good to know! I've been so focused on React trends lately that I haven't followed Solidity news. I'll have to look it up.
You still haven't given a single example of what you mean by "doing the entire stack". I'm assuming that's because you don't have one?

You seemed to have completely missed why Nvidia's stock has gone up 17x in 4 years while google only 3x. The dynamics of the chip business have not changed; you are focusing on a single market, DNN, which is a small piece of the entire science/engineering community. Google made a chip that accelerates DNN. They also chose not to make an API to use that hardware with outside TF. So if you could buy a tpu and put it in your own server, it would beat the V100 in performance/watt. You can't do that, so nvidia wins, because I can buy a V100, and in 51 days the price I bought it for ($8K) has already been burned through in GCP. If you need me to do the math to help you realize that now your only recurring cost on the v100 (power) is more than 100x less than the TPU, I can do that for you. But hopefully you understand now that the TPU is for a niche market outside of google, and it will never be a large source of revenue for them at $6.50/hour.

TF is not exclusive to google. Nvidia has engineers working on TF.

Your capsule example is again extremely poor. You think google can respin an asic quicker than nvidia? Not only does history say the exact opposite, but they both use TSMC.
Eclipse has for years felt like someone generalized both IBM and Java's beliefs and built an IDE.

That's good for some types of coding, but bad for others.

... then the nail in the coffin was going down the rabbit hole with plugins. The bazaar model only works if you have enough shopkeeps. (No offense intended to the gracious maintainers of Eclipse packages, but many could do with a LOT more people helping)
Do you have any evidence to back that statement up? Java seems to be as popular as ever.
Anecdotally, I have a real problem striking up conversations with strangers, but even a simple "hi" really seems to put me at ease. I think they're onto something for a subset of the population with my problem, and that's why I prefer Bumble to Tinder.
Amazon is increasing the cost of annual Prime memberships from $99 to $119
Yes. Consider a detailed blueprint for a physical weapon. Or information that make coordinated use of armed forces more efficient. Or blackmailing material.
This seems likely. If you are mistreated for a given reason, you would likely attribute mistreatment elsewhere to having the same cause, and given that would be ones first impression of mistreatment, even with evidence that the mistreatment is for another more broader issue, people will likely contribute the mistreatment to the original reason they were mistreated in the first area. It is similar to making a bad first impression; it takes a lot more effort to correct a bad first impression than to maintain a good first impression.
Women can make choices too. It’s just that it’s frowned upon when a woman makes the first move. That’s your downside.

Men can brag Baku their sexual lives and even exaggerate it. Women have to do the opposite and be very secretive.

Perhaps it ties to the dynamic. Women are buyers. Men are sellers. Easy to spend $1000 to buy things, hard to earn $1000 to sell something.

Western dating is a totally different beast than other countries.
Ask HN: Recruiter e-mailing your personal vs. business address
For those of you who are open to hearing about interesting & fitting job opportunities, what is your preference: receiving e-mails at your business or personal address?

And if the recruiter only has one of the addresses - is it OK to e-mail you at your less preferred one?

Thanks.
I have a tiny handful of friends in IT older than I whose careers are still thriving in the UK. Most are specialists of some kind. I wish them well.

For the first >50% of my career, my speciality was that I wasn't a specialist. I can work anything with a keyboard and a display, fix it, tune it, make it talk to anything else, or at a push virtualise it.

But that's an obsolete skill in the near-monoculture of today, when IT means Unix, Windows and nothing else, talking Internet protocols. It's all boring now.

Usefully, though, I also write, so I changed course and became a tech writer. That's working out OK so far.
If anybody is conflating things, it's you. And what you seem to be conflating is the meaning of the word "is", with that of the word "should".

You might be quite right in that no information should be illegal to posses. That, however, does not make it so. There's plenty of information that is illegal to posses. The fact that you don't like it doesn't make it less so.
> If no, what if the book is Mein Kampf?

Incidentally there isn’t a single country (as far as I could find) where owning Mein Kampf is or was illegal. There’s a common misconception that its possession is or was illegal in Germany. However, this was never the case. Until 2016 the state of Bavaria owned the exclusive copyright and prohibited its publication. But that’s it.
I have commented before about A/B testing the law to achieve statistical outcomes, and I absolutely do see a problem with it. It tosses principles and liberties out the window. Legislating things that are correlated with the thing you want to avoid is a utilitarian bridge too far for me.
TIL... That is concerning
Numbers I mentioned are just physical maxims.

In reality its the signal speed relative to jitter, time interval errors and data setup times that complicate the design and signal integrity.

If the clock is 3GHz, the margin of error is the fraction of the time of the clock rate. You need to divide the chip into clock regions and add local cache for each core because fetching data far away is too slow.
It really depends on what your goal to learn is: number crunching, web development, database access, etc. However, I'd say stick with Python because it has an expansive standard library, and pretty good documentation which can be downloaded for offline use [1].

If you'd like to learn a RDBMS, SQLite comes bundled with Python and SQLite also has documentation available for download [2] (see Documentation section).

Another option would be to buy a programming language book. Those typically have guided chapters, and many have an emphasis such as general programming, text analysis, etc.

With the same idea, you're also made of physical particles, and we don't really understand how they actually work.
> The answer likely depends on whether you're a man or a woman. From the male's POV changing the game benefits us since there's less work to do. If you're a woman then it's the opposite and a net negative.

I don't have a horse in that race, but I do have an ethical concern.

If you tell men that they're supposed to try, then it's likely that a lack of success will be met with trying harder.

What does this result in, practically speaking? Being more forward? Being more touchy? Being more in their face putting in the effort?

a.k.a. creepy, stalkerish behavior and possibly an increase in the incidence of sexual assault and/or harassment.

That's the concern I have with the "should" position.
Same here, but I think that's because it takes some time for the new Ubuntu releases to be considered stable...

For now its still in development according to them.

NK's leadership is vulnerable to being starved -- not just themselves, but the people, who if starved hard enough would hang the leadership from lamp posts.

President Trump evidently knew this and threatened to do this. It helps that China is so dependent on trade with the US, which means that DJT could threaten China's pocket book as well (which he did). China cooperated with the US, and Kim folded.

It's that simple.

Sure, Kim was in a strong position but for this.
I care :-(
Like the many that will, after me, assume Hacker to mean the C in CS. Technically, you are correct, and I agree. But I must point out, that actually, you are wrong - the general use of the word belongs to computers.
I can't find any copies of that in any cache showing it was ever actually online, simply mocked-up photos posted to social media.
tl;dr disable all extensions, and enable the ones you need on a per-workspace basis.
So we are nominating him for some of the next years' peace Nobel prizes? That would be a fun sight :D
That description can be embedded in the number. If you use ASCII it’ll be pretty obvious.

Encoding as a prime doesn’t impose any special requirements on the data. All you have to do is append a bit of junk to make the whole thing prime. The rest of it can be plain text or whatever.
That is possible but without some data, any data, to back that hypothesis up it becomes fairly useless. Science doesn't really work by dismissing papers by throwing out unsupported alternative explanations for data.
ding! ding! ding!

That is the correct answer
Audacious Project
The reason for criminalizing ownership of child pornography is not just fighting about vice. It's also understanding that people consuming such media are creating demand for it, and where there is demand, there soon is also supply. Because child sexual abuse is considered to be a horrible thing, fight against people who commit that abuse happens both at the supply and demand end.
Aside from the other reasons provided, there's also something called the reticle limit. The manufacturing process will have a maximum die size, due to the finite size of the optics used to expose the photoresist.
It is at odds with some of the blogs they have been posting[1], but those seem to focus on more of the frontend / app side of things. Having worked for a PSP and integrated with several of the big UK banks, I really really really hope they are actually covering the backend side as well.

So you do want an IDE, just not all of it all of the time? Headline is pretty clickbait, sorry.
Amazon keeps giving me Prime for free, probably because I never use it. I've probably gotten the equivalent of 2 years of Prime free.
I feel like VS Code is on it's way to becoming the next generation of Eclipse. It's a great platform, but now it's practically just a plugin framework. I'm hoping the maturation of the open source world will have us not repeat the same mistakes.

Classic Eclipse plugins were all either created by big software vendors who wanted to create a good developer experience for their products or eager amateurs who were scratching an itch. VS Code plugins are more like good open source projects that have contributors and reviewers and frequently sponsors. Microsoft is strongly supporting it, but not with a heavy hand even if it cannibalizes some Visual Studio sales.
25 MHz is mentioned in the article as a basic requirement of the earliest SNES emulators. The SNES CPU itself clocks in at less than 4.

Any sort of flirting in a workplace can backfire on your face. Just takes one person to take it the wrong way and you’re shown the door.

That’s why there is a famous saying “Don’t shit where you eat”. Workplace relationships seldom end well.
Economically speaking, it would add millions of people to the working stock of south korea, plus extensive land to build new cities and such. It would guarantee decades of profitable investment and growth.
> communism establishment industrialized Russia enough to produce war munitions and equipment

They lost most of the munitions and equipment in first _months_ of war, and lost half of the factories as well.

So they had to rely on lend-lease from much-hated capitalists.

And yes, human waves (if you don't like other term) and general disregard for human lives were common in Soviet tactics. That's the reason for staggering losses (they still cannot get their number right, now there are talks that USSR losses were 2x higher, i.e. ~40 millions).

Instagram Marketing: A Step-By-Step Course
AI and ML were separated for a long time, where AI essentially meant rule-driven behavior like logic programming (e.g. during the fifth generation computing project). Then in the last 10 years ML became really successful, and AI came to mean just that.
It's true often enough to beg a question. I wonder if trying to maintain divergent builds of an IDE (core + plugin/bloat) would actually make sense?

And then let the market give the company feedback on which it prefers.

My gut says architecture decisions to enable bloat would still affect the core release, but maybe not? The central issue seems to be disconnect with what the market wants.
NDC ATM Emulator, written on JavaScript, JQuery and Electron
Theory: Xi put massive pressure on North Korea to sue for peace during the armored train trip Kim made to China because he doesn't want Trump/Pentagon using it as an excuse for a more immediate military buildup in the region and the possible nuclearization of SK and Japan in response. Japan was already starting to flex more. Xi probably threatened to cut them off and even invade NK if he didn't cool it, they were becoming too much of a liability. I think China thinks Washington is crazy enough now for a pre-emtive strike (Madman theory?), and that could drag China into a war they are not ready for. The US still struck Syria despite Russian threats, its not unfeasible to think the same applies to NK. China's long term goal is to take back Taiwan, secure their back yard and ultimately become the hub of Eurasian continent, but they need to buy a couple more decades time, they are not yet ready for a true face off. That said however, its also possible this has no effect really, China's posturing itself is enough of a reason for a buildup and Washington can still spin it this way. Like I said, buys more time but probably doesn't negate the inevitable face off. In the end, NK will be authoritarian "modern" like China is "modern". I can't imagine Kim giving up that much power, just shifting it to a better model that keeps him in the loop. This was probably the "out" Xi gave him during his visit. China may even turn this form of authoritarianism into a commodity they can sell to other dictators. "Look at NK then and now! See what our political system / AI facial recognition technology can do for you and your people? Just take a low interest loan from us and we will build the system for you and show you how to use it. You can be advanced just like China AND be in power forever!".

It's truly naive to think there is anything less than geo-political calculus here. If you think this is a momentous occasion, you're fooling yourself with rose colored glasses.

That being said, I'd love to hear some alternative theories. Shoot me down. Pop my bubble.

An individual man will not continue to use something they don't perceive as providing access to women.

Men in aggregate will crawl across an interface made of broken glass if they perceive it as providing access to women.

I know men in both categories.
So you'll be fine with DUI? After all, it's not the alcohol we're trying to avoid - it's the accidents, which are correlated with alcohol (for obvious reasons).

Truth is, often correlations are the only things we can go after to fight the things we don't want.
I was on a flight recently (I think on United), and noticed that the trash can in one of the washrooms was full and, judging by the paper towels around, had been full for some time.

I told one of the attendants when I went to get a snack. She told me they couldn't empty the trash can. I didn't push, but it seemed strange that they were willing to leave a full trash can in one of a very limited number of washrooms on a full plane.
Well thank you, that was a really good read. And so seems to be the rest of the author’s work!
Because everything is math.

No - it's about about people. And helping them solve their real problems.

Math is just a means to that end (one among many).
Well, sure, I'm sure climate changes helped push North American megafauna populations over the edge -- except the TFA speaks specifically about archaeological evidence of specific hunting events, including human foot prints following giant sloth foot prints in a pattern which implies stalking and hunting and even the sloth rearing up to defend itself.

This already exists, it’s called cryptography: for example, you can exchange some prime numbers (key exchange), and then use those to apply a generic mathematical function to the information. You then send the resulting numbers.
(In this situation it isn’t the prime numbers themselves which are illegal, it’s the other numbers.)

Doesn’t change the legal situation, of course.
If you want a "snappy editor", don't use one written as a web app.
Do we though? Think about how many engineers the big 5 are hiring... they can't get enough! If we really needed more efficient software, they'd have to hire even more!

The focus should be on developer productivity first, then product iteration, then performance.
The moment they can read. Sure you can literally define structures and processes before that, but doing the real deal on a computer before you can read... is going to be a disaster.

You need to read your own code to get your bearings of where you are in the file. Anything more complex than 5 instructions is a no-go for non-readers.
Are you even a biologist though.

Knowing about the existence of unintended side-effects is not the same as predicting their frequency. Ultimately the reduction of risk comes from hedging against an expected frequency of risk, something that we are still learning how to do, or else CRISPR would already be a widespread mode of therapeutic treatment.

It seems what you're actually trying to argue against is becoming bearish on new technology due to risk, but you're doing this with posturing that is ungrounded in both the details of the biology and the risk.
Still have no idea how to use Eclipse after 10 years. Vim, Emacs, VS Studio, VS Code, a few proprietary ones - very easy to figure out.

Eclipse seems to be a magical combination of hard to use, slow, and hated.

Was there a golden period? Was it great for awhile, and now is past it's prime, like MS Word?
