It's early in the process, and it's possible to write off Moon's direct crediting of Trump as a diplomatic nicety. Certainly Moon is doing his part as well. Park was no ogre, however, and she was preceded by a number of other non-ogre SK leaders. Somehow they couldn't do what Moon has, while USA had its finger on the scale of conflict. One suspects that historians in decades to come will enjoy studying the contrasts between Trump and his predecessors, both the real contrasts and those reported in popular media.
No. That board uses a reference design from Nvidia. They redesigned Nvidia reference designed removed one of the fpgas, changed interfaces added GPS directly on board. If you are not familiar a reference design would be selling your prebuilt computer and telling you this works. Afterwards you come in throw the case out and change anything but try to maintain the relevant electronic connections between components. Remove the ones that you don't need and add required ones. Plus design and layout a circuit board with your new requirements and parts.

I half-agree. You are correct that, if all of the stuff is made or grown elsewhere, local retail will not be enough to keep the local economy in decent shape. But, that does not mean that the process of consolidating retail into remote (mall) chains that are loosely committed to that community, is not also deeply flawed.
Given the recent discussions around co-routines in Rust, even if everything has been said, there's still a wealth of stuff in this space, and figuring out what makes sense for a given language is a lot of work, regardless if it's been in some paper somewhere already or not.
But if he hadn't promoted heliocentrism would he have been locked up?

I'm not sure of the answer to that, but if he wouldn't have, then it's more than reasonable to say that he was locked up because of the heliocentrism, and that there were broader reasons for their crackdown on things like heliocentrism.

An analogy: if we imagined, for the sake of the argument, that in the modern world, there are political motivations for cracking down on certain drugs. A person gets jailed for possession of one of these drugs. It's fair to say that possession of the drug was the reason they were jailed, and that the law behind it was politically motivated.

What would be some usecases for which synchronous is insufficient and one has to reach for the hard to reason about asynchronous?
impressive calculation for the per phone case!

but as I wrote, its not necessary in Ozzie's scheme: Apple only needs to store the single private key. All the phones contain the same public key corresponding to it.
All phones encrypt the user passcode to the same public key.
When a user tries to unlock his own phone with his correct passcode, the phone encrypts his passcode and arrives at thee same encrypted key, unlocking the phone. When the government seizes the phone, with a special device they have the phone show the encrypted pass code, dump the encrypted GB's of encrypted phone contents, and burn an irreversible efuse in the processor disabling it. They send the encrypted passcode to Apple, who verifies its the government indeed. Apple uses its single private key to decrypt the user passcode. Apple sends this pass code to the government. The government can decrypt the image.

In the proposal there is no need for a massive database of key material. It's nonsense.

(in practice Apple would use treshold crypography, so that at least k out of n private keys each belonging to specially trained and screened employees are necessary to decrypt)

(in practice each phone has a hardcoded random nonce in efuses and instead of encrypting the user passcode, it encrypts [passcode+nonce], otherwise the government could just bruteforce 10^4 encryptions to the public key)

I am only saying that this can be done efficiently, not saying that I agree with the desirability of key escrow. This idea of key escrow is as old as cryptography.
3d printing used to create self-folding objects
I'd restate that a bit more broadly because they have to offer something some advantage over Amazon which enough people want. If you're dealing with things which don't ship well, for example, that might work on its own — I don't hear of many people buying building supplies online for that reason even if they ruthlessly shop around for the best deals on tools.

Since volume tends to rule in the commodity space I think that usually means finding a way not to be a commodity. Specialty bookstores are an example because some are doing quite well because they have top-notch staffing; others followed Barnes & Nobles’ attempts to use cheaper staffing and have largely failed. I don't know about other speciality clothing stores but the places selling hiking, biking, etc. gear seem to be doing well around here because people like advice & the ability to try something on before dropping a fairly large amount of cash.

We still use Slack for internal every-day communications. Personally, I treat Async as a summary of things that have gone on around the company this week so I can keep up to date with different departments (Slack is not ideal for doing this.)
The heat shield did not crack, the structure on which the heat shield would be mounted cracked. The PICA tiles had not been installed yet.
Second his book. The best part of his book in comparison to other cooking books is...a schedule (instead of the duration). Start mixing flour and water at 9:30 AM and then do X at 10:30 AM, etc, etc, and you will get the bread at 5 PM for dinner. Simply following the schedule ensures sufficient time for the yeast to develop and the dough to rise. I have never failed with his schedule and friends think the bread is competitive with what's purposed.
The inside story of how Verizon didn’t launch the first iPhone
I live by structured procrastination. My most productive day this month was the 16th—the day before my taxes were due.
Speaking solely from personal experience, I find that Async helps keep everyone on the same page. Rather than needing to scroll back through Slack or keep tabs on multiple channels, all I need to do is log in to Async and read the various posts folks have put up that mention me (if you're mentioned, it's important and you should probably read it) as well as other posts that might cover areas outside of my team that interest me.

It's a much more scalable approach than trying to read the backscroll in Slack, IMO.

It has a few special features, but on the whole it's basically like a company-wide journal.

After further reading, I'm a little less convinced. The $0.25 number comes from the 2nd paragraph of the April 25 2018 Techspot article [1]. According to arsTechnica [2] he would spend $80,000 for the disks. 28,000 disks were seized, so if these are the facts he's losing about $2.40 per disk. Seems like either he is not profiting, or there was some higher price negotiated but the government couldn't prove it well enough to get a conviction, or there were a lot more disks hiding somewhere else.

My wife has kept a sourdough starter going for almost 3 years now, including us being gone for 3 weeks - Fridge slows down/temporarily stops the process.

The extra that gets taken out each night during a feeding is now used to make sourdough pancakes - Refrigerate then warm up when hungry.

I do not see baking temps mentioned, she uses cast iron dutch ovens with lids, something like 15 minutes at 500 degrees, lid on, 15 minutes at 450 degrees lid off, then another 30 or so minutes lid off at 400 degrees. Definitely scored.

She is not available right now to correct me, so be careful if using these steps. Many recipes vary, here is one that is close to what I vaguely remember:
http://www.bakersandbest.com/2012/06/10/sourdough-so-simple-...

And she will use no other flour, just King Arthur Bread Flour. Although once in a while she does mix in other types of King Arthur flour, such as Whole Wheat or Rye.

YMMV

Edit: She corrected me: 20 minutes at 500 degrees lid on, 10 minutes at 450 degrees lid on, 15 minutes at 450 degrees lid off. And she said the rising will break the bread unless scored (giving the rise a semi-controlled path).

When I see the biga being made, I know the next day is folding, and the following day the house is going to smell wonderful. :)

Are two spaces better than one? The effect of spaces after periods on reading
This is a bogus argument: "abstractions are complexities and lack control".

This argument can be equally applied to any other abstraction or convenience functionality, such as garbage collectors (unpredictable destructor execution, resource consumption and performance), OS schedulers (unknown number of items executing fighting for time quanta, unpredictable performance, unpredictable latency), high-level languages (unpredictable code generation, lack of ability to express proper intention related to processor abilities), etc.

However, the problem here is that your expectation of the abstraction is wrong, not that they introduce complexities. Furthermore, all abstractions give up control to the abstractions so that you do not have to concern yourself with it. You cannot both have full control over functionality and not concern yourself with the functionality.

An even engine is a scheduler like the OS scheduler. It is designed to take care of scheduling, making it not a concern for you, hiding the implementation (effectively making it "unpredictable"). If you want control, you have to give up the abstraction and go straight on the iron, just like you would have if you want precise memory behavior.

However, considering this a "complexity" would be wrong. There is nothing complex about asynchronous programming's lack of predictable execution order. The contract is that the code will execute when the event arrives, nothing else. This is by no means a complexity. In many engines, the execution of your code isn't even concurrent, only having I/O run in the background.

(I am intentionally ignoring buggy event engines, just like we ignore buggy GC's, kernels, compilers, CPU's, etc.)
> Political terms are hard.

It ain't helping that the definition of these terms often hinges on where you are talking about something because the local context can be very different for these terms, like American Libertarianism vs European Libertarianism [0]

Add to that how most people still only use the traditional left vs right axis, while imho something like the Nolan chart which also accounts for an authoritarian/libertarian axis for left and right, is a way superior model to account for the finer differences of political movements and especially parties.

I guess "progressivism" suffers from a similar issue. In Germany, it's pretty much never used to describe a particular political movement, German Wiki describes it as a "countermovement to conservatism", but in very broad terms. I guess it's a synonym for "the left"? Which in the US traditionally has been mostly defined/associated with regulation, at least by US conservatives.

> Your just saying if he would have kept enough political clout he could have got a pardon?

No, he would never have had anything to be pardoned from; he was largely protected by the Pope until the Pope was personally offended by the manner in which the Pope’s own argument was presented in one of Galileo’s works.

While heliocentrism was the superficial issue, Galileo’s punishment was in many ways about the failure to manage personal relations in a system that was not one governed by impersonal law (religious or otherwise) but by personal privilege and patronage.

I suggest starting with fresh ground rye flour as it has more yeast on the berries surface. If you can't grind it fresh yourself from rye berries, then purchase something reasonably fresh like Bob's Red Mill. I consistently get a new starter up and running in 4 days, after the fourth day I mix in other (wheat) flour.

Second suggestion is to start with a smaller amount (say 15 grams) and feed double whatever you have with each feeding (equal parts by weight flour and water). Throw out some starter when the feedings get too much (remember you're doubling each time).

The water should be left to dechlorinate in an open container overnight. I have a pitcher with a cloth over it that I keep on a shelf for feedings and making bread.

White flour and lower temperatures will slow down your starter activity (useful at times). Whole grain flours and warmer temps will speed up your starter activity.

Hello, I've had Data Structures, while on BSc and implemented by hand hashmaps.. If you read the post you would understand the doubt.

Try the following:

a = [i for in range(10000)]
if 9999 in a:
print('yay I just looped over an entire array')

however:

a = {i:i for in range(10000)}
if 9999 in a:
print('yay I found a key in linear time')

Now, You might be an expert in Data Structures, but what makes you implicitly know how the 'IN' behaves in python, and that it won't convert to the keys() method of the dict to get a list with the same behaviour as in a list?
I guess it does seem like NPR may have been coerced into removing the article if that's what people are thinking. I do agree that would be significant.
Ask HN: What parts of software engineering can be quantified?
I've seen obvious instances of quantification of software engineering – obvious in hindsight, anyhow. Capacity planning and network performance get strong mathematical treatments in textbooks such as "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach".

But I've also seen less-than-obvious quantifications and mathematical models. The second chapter of "Hello Startup!" represents a model of Agile vs Waterfall method in terms of total cost-under-curve for learning, complete with graphs.

I've also seen the process of debugging code be represented in Bayes Theorem, but that was only one problem in a textbook.

And of course anything by Knuth or Sedgewick tends to carry this flavour with their takes on data structures. But that's moving a bit far from software creation in the mobile-app and web-app sense.

What are examples of practical mathematical modelling and quantification in software-engineering?
You forgot the step where you beg, borrow and steal to get around the journal paywalls.

But if we don't consolidate retail into mall chains that are loosely committed to that community, it will consolidate into even more-impersonal Amazon warehouses! Wal-Mart is not the local-economy defender we wanted, but it's the one it needs right now!

Following through to the associated BBC article, the language used there is “disqualified”, which, as I understand, is a license suspension. It’s often useful to drill down further to get closer to the actual source in cases like this to avoid reading too much into language that may be imprecise or used with journalistic license. In this case, I don’t know what technically it would mean to be “banned from the highway” other than to have one’s license suspended or revoked.
He was actually banned from driving entirely, the jalopnik article is incorrect.
The author is characterizing the economic trend as if it were a deliberate choice, and ignoring the specific reasons for that trend. Back when stuff used to be scarce, hard to find information about, and the supply chain needed to push a mass quantity of stuff onto the shelves to induce demand, it made sense to spend hours grazing over the collection in person in stores. Likewise, the margins were high enough to support the overhead of this.

Then, the downtown's vibrant selection disappeared for the same reason the malls are now closing up - we no longer need or want to do that. In concert, margins have been getting ever lower while competition has become even more cut throat - eg the modern ability to go into a store to physically browse, and then purchase from somewhere else online before having even left that (money losing) store! So even those who want to browse in person are paying progressively more and more to do so.

And keep in mind, all of this local retail wasn't/isn't actually bringing money in to the area! (unless it's the biggest town around, in which case draw your boundary conditions larger)

I do personally respect the need for a local economy, and recognize that the dream of efficiency hasn't delivered on its promise [0]. But reminiscing about the time when the consumer-stuff-delivery industry was effectively in its startup phase isn't going to help.

[0] I argue it's due to monetary policy that has an explicit goal of nullifying any savings by consumers, but I digress.
A quick Google suggests that the disqualified in the original BBC story means he had his license suspended which makes a lot more sense.
