> The Mars 2020 mission's heat shield was undergoing stress-testing when it developed a crack that appeared around its entire circumference. The shield is designed to protect the rover as it enters the Martian atmosphere. "The test was designed to subject the heat shield to forces up to 20 percent greater than those expected during entry into the Martian atmosphere," NASA said in a statement.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "stress testing" :)
It is entirely possible that an attorney would take the case on contingency if it's strong.
Long ago, I designed a language

I have the same problem with IKEA, except their customer service reps lie and tell me it's my bank that blocked the transaction.

This ended up costing me a lot of time as I called my bank, tried the order again, called the bank again, tried different credit cards... eventually I figured out the IKEA reps were just lying, and they had flagged all orders under my name and address without telling me. Infuriating.
Not necessarily when comparing different language, as they might allow different optimizations. For example, you'd be able to compare several bytes at a time with C if you pad the strings, while node.js' V8 is unlikely to optimize that far.
Ask HN: YC lawyers, what are you doing about GDPR?
I've seen several discussion threads asking if HN will be GDPR compliant, but I haven't seen any official or unofficial guidance from the YC team on how they're going to handle GDPR. YC almost certainly has European LPs and has European startup applying even though they might not have a physical presence in Europe. It would be great to get some guidance on what you're doing or how you're advising YC companies because most early-stage startups don't really have the resources to figure this out themselves.
Early in my career I was basically a Z80 assembly specialist and I think owning a Spectrum and buying a book that was an annotated disassembly helped pique my interest. I distinctly remember being very clueless when I first got the book - I was confused at the very first line of code - it was XOR A and I didn't immediately understand this trick to clear the accumulator in one byte not the two that MOV A,0 needed.
No one talks about Netbeans! I used to love Netbeans :(

This was never their business model. MP doesn't win if customers pay $9.95 but sometimes forget to go to the movies.

MP wins when they get revshare deals with theaters.

Naturally theaters don't want to share, so MP is buying negotiating leverage with free movie tickets.

MP is trying to get 20 million movie patrons hooked on an all-you-can-eat model so MP becomes the source of a large percentage of traffic. Then MP can threaten to shut off the tap if they don't get a cut.

Theater chains are betting that MP burns through their cash before they get big enough to make that threat.
Go's concurrency model defines that memory writes in one goroutine won't be observable in another until a context switch can happen (e.g. by send/recv on a channel). In practice, newly spawned goroutines often don't get the chance to run at all until that context switch. But yeah, it's not a good idea to rely on this behavior here.

I'm pining for integer generics so we can get a library as versatile as C++'s Eigen for heavy numerical work in Rust. :(
I hope you stick around HN, regardless of your command of English. High English proficiency isn't in the HN guidelines - most of the smart people in the world don't speak English at all! The one violating the guidelines is the other commenter who criticized you; please don't let them ruin things for the rest of us.

No, I'm agreeing with you. I think it rare that any mature field these days is "turned on its head". I doubt most of the examples given by other comments would qualify if you dig into them.
My understanding is that right to an attorney is not a thing when it comes to immigration cases (even when the authorities are mistaken as they were here). https://cis.org/Feere/Detained-Immigrants-and-Right-Counsel
To me, a "schedule" implies intent, not a promise. (Just like a "budget".) There always exist factors out of your control that can blow them, and everyone hopefully is cognizant of that fact.

Thinking that a schedule or budget is ironclad is the same thing as thinking you can predict the future.
It's a civil matter but you are detained in criminal jails and prisons until the court can get around to listening to you. That in itself is criminal, and what one would expect from a third world banana republic, not a first world "free" country.
You're right. I don't mean what I said like that. I definitely don't mean to imply trades are for the stupid.

What I'm trying to say is that you don't need grades or genius to get in the door. And once you're in, smarts will help, sure, but hard work pays off more.
If you have to tell too many people that they are "not doing it right", then perhaps its too hard to do it right. If you build a paradigm that only Sheldon Cooper can get right and complain when non-Sheldon's "can't use it right", there is a bigger problem. It was supposed to make software design easier and "more natural". If it takes lots of training to get right, that's not "natural".

In general, I find OOP fairly well suited for building utilitarian API's, but NOT for domain modelling. Domain modelling is where OOP failed bigly. When UI/GUI's got more complex, they outgrew OOP's ability also and became a mess. There seems to be a size/scope limit to OOP of subject matter.
You are correct. The $20,000 sum comes from a different individual who was only imprisoned for 4 days.
That's what the 'all' option does. It shows all items that made the front page that were submitted on any given day, whether it was on the front page for 2 days straight or for just a few minutes.
add to that the way they let him go:

> Surprised by his unexplained freedom, Watson walked out of a federal detention center in rural Alabama. He recalled how he was penniless, in prison garb and thousands of miles from home when he approached strangers at a gas station to borrow a phone.
The article you linked says nothing of the sort, nor is it ever even really hinted at that the average age is 9... Which is quite difficult to believe without a lot of proof to contradict every bit of anecdotal evidence to the contrary. I'm not an expert and I'd love to have proof of the average age one way or another but you have made an outrageous claim with 0 backup.
He had the tennis ball option staring at him in the face. C'mon man.
Do you want your bosses going to a firm like Monroe.

Because companies will occasionally send in their own product to see if they can squeeze their manufacturers and see what their engineers missed.
They certainly could! That's a basic part of the deal when you offer something as open source.

I wouldn't choose to aid such a project, UNLESS I felt that JetBrains (the company that produces IntelliJ) was being harmful to the community of users.

A perfect example would be OpenOffice. While it was well-run under Sun I thought most effort should go to a single project not to works. Once it turned evil (Oracle) I thought all support should go to LibreOffice.
This is actually something I'm trying to figure out. I currently use (and pay for) Scalyr, which is the best of the bunch (super fast, flexible alerting) but I hate shipping my log data there. It just seems like a potential attack surface I am not really happy about.

Is there anything open source that I can run in a docker container somewhere on the internets that allows me to create custom alerts, extract data, create charts and dashboards?
There's a point here, but please don't make it this way, i.e. in the internet trolling style. It guarantees worse discussion.

Yep. Much better for the heat shield to break in a test chamber on Earth and have to be rebuilt, than for it to break during Mars atmospheric reentry and end the mission.
I don't own one; don't plan to buy one. So I'm indifferent.
Python generators – a data practitioner guide
Yeah because the large companies would eventually do it as well. And have decent QA and supply lines
Maybe you're being downvoted because you're spouting unsourced nonsense with a wink-wink as to why it might be true, instead of "teaching truths"?

A line in a book about interviews of abused women doesn't really equal actual research sufficient to back up your wild claim here. Further, you stated that women in abusive relationships "overwhelmingly report have fantastic sex lives", but you've posted a line from a book stating that roughly half (of some) abused women said their best sexual encounters had occurred immediately after physical abuse.

That's a world of difference, and it really draws into sharp relief the underlying point you were trying to make (your clever "draw what you will from this, but..." notwithstanding) and how far from the truth it actually lies.
The rise in usage of the intellij platform also came massively when they decided to make official plug in for some languages, which worked in the ide, but also a "standalone" ide specifically for it.

I know phpstorm saw a gigantic rise in usage, and webstorm too. Right now they're doing it again with their Go ide (which again is intellij with an official go plug in), and their biggest competition is visual studio code, at least from my pov.
grep is the product of a lot of thought and engineering. There's a great rundown by GNU grep's author, if you're interested [1].

One big takeaway is that grep doesn't simply traverse the string linearly, instead using the Boyer-Moore algorithm [2].

Interestingly, there seems to be an internal Boyer-Moore implementation in Golang's strings package[3], though it only appears to be used in strings.Replace("")[4]

Thanks for the informative response. Appreciate the insights.
This sounds dysfunctional. Business partners hoping to be the one that benefits at the expense of their partner.
Instagram blatantly ripped off Snap and now they're choking on their pilfered feature set. Good. Figure out your own damn innovation.

This reminds me of the time that Larry and Sergey tried to rip off Mark. They built a whole bunch of social stuff without really understanding why. Now Mark is trying to rip off Evan and building a bunch of stuff the kids like without really understanding why.

I know that all the tech giants have essentially stolen basic ideas from their predecessors but it is typically because they can see potential and a future that nobody else has envisioned. Yes, they steal the original concept but then innovate and expand. What IG is doing with Snap features is a desparate ploy to crush a competitor without truly understanding them, their users, or their marketplace.
People willfully ignoring context is what this entire sub-discussiom is about. Making that more difficult is beneficial, and I haven't seen your case for why more transparency would be beneficial. They've been clear on their actions, and they aren't making efforts to scrub the web clean of the past. What benefit is there to their continued hosting of something they've found to be wrong?
Step 1: introduce ads

They recently switched their pay model to upfront quarterly, which gives them an influx of cash short term. Not a good sign for long term but it will keep them afloat and allow everyone to burn VC money for a bit longer. In their minds, I'm guessing that as long as they grow exponentially or close to, they will eventually have the leverage over theatres they need to get a cut of concessions.

"But isn't transient log storage a popular use case, and if so why don't any services optimize for it?"

Well I could start with "define transient"! I also note your unhappiness with third party logging facilities. I also note you went very DIY.

A three node ES cluster with a Graylog on the front can ingest quite a lot of logs for a reasonable time outlay in learning how it hangs together. A bit of tuning might be required.

I suspect I'm not your target market.
They did just introduce this feature in like January too. I'm surprised this is what they're revoking. Must be a lot of repeat offenders.

I don’t have a computer at hand, but I imagine it would be a lot shorter (and likely faster due to algorithmic optimisations) to use bytes.Index. As other have pointed out, 1 GB/s seems slow. I would expect that performance when reading from disk.

(Also, iterating over indexes is not too idiomatic in Go. You can iterate both the index and value using `range`, just like enumerate in Python.)

That was my first thought when I read this comment. Progressives tend to believe that the government knows best (e.g. please tell me what size soda I should be allowed to buy), while conservatives tend to believe that the free market will naturally regulate itself (e.g. amusement parks will voluntarily keep their rides safe, because people won’t buy tickets otherwise). There are pros and cons to both sides. But it is simply inaccurate to say that progressives “despise” regulation - they love regulation and would do far more of it if left to their own devices.
If we get a precedent protecting US companies against the EU I think you're going to start seeing that. Until then it's still risky.

Also on the flip side, it'll take a while until there are GDPR horror stories.

Right now the smart move is to advertise compliance and see what happens.

Personally, I'm not worried about a human reading it, but I am worried about a machine reading it and ingesting "facts" about me because they don't know what a retraction is.

Dating offline can be one of the most frightening euphoric experiences a person will ever have even if the result of an attempted approach is rejection. I remember asking a girl out for the first time. It was nothing like swiping right a few hundreds times and then sending a message to someone who swiped back only to never receive a response. I felt so good that it scared me even hours later when I was no longer feeling the euphoria. There are huge differences between dating online and offline. Real differences that really matter.

It isn't true that online dating isn't relevant to whether a person can have time in their life for online dating.

When people talk about not having time for something, they are speaking in a metaphorical sense about the value of their time. Truly, most people have time to count to a million, but most people don't have time to count to a million.
"Better" is highly subjective. Many people, myself included, find many aspects of west coast culture cloying and suffocating. Your values are not everyone's values.
Variable object keys
I like math and I occasionally enjoy poems, but these poems did nothing for me either.

I also find it somewhat difficult to get into poetry. I don't know why I've been so patient with it. Maybe it's because I was never in a position of being expected to "get" it like you were.

As for what makes me like a poem, it's similar to what makes me like a song. I'll find myself repeating some small phrases of the poem to myself because I like them so much. Personally, I think listening to people read poems was what helped to convince me that there's something valuable in poetic language. I know there's a bit of elitism about wanting to hear something read to you instead of reading it yourself, but I'm sure Greek rhapsodes didn't feel the same way about reciting The Odyssey.
That actually make more sense since you consent to a bunch of things. But I don't even think they do that. As I said they use it internally instead (for what to order etc) they aren't allowed to send your data and your purchasing patterns to 3rd party.

QGIS is an incredible success of the FOSS world.

Its probably mostly down to the ridiculous pricing demands of the other GIS providers (primarly ESRI, but also MapInfo and others). But it gives hope for us FOSS supporters.

FWIW spacemacs is a pretty decent vim-alike. Not perfect, but still pretty awesome. It's tougher, though, if you've been using a lot of extensions to vanilla vim.
The difference in practice is mostly in security: neither advertisers or publishers on Google or Facebook actually possess your data, so it can't be leaked by breaching any of those companies. You'd have to breach Google or Facebook themselves.

Imagine a 19 year old back teenager from a bad neighbourhood.

From the second article: However, studies in Europe, Canada, and the United States have since shown that DDT didn’t cause the human diseases Carson had claimed. Indeed, the only type of cancer that had increased in the United States during the DDT era was lung cancer, which was caused by cigarette smoking. DDT was arguably one of the safer insect repellents ever invented—far safer than many of the pesticides that have taken its place.

There is some recent evidence of connection to breast cancer:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4524999/

And the WHO has a few concerns:

CDC Has a balanced view (though article is old):

That said the studies in question ask about very high usage, it's likely that more controlled sprays would be less damaging. That's the point I'm making, using chemicals responsibly can mitigate overall risk while maintaining their benefits. You don't have spray it in buckets everywhere (the procedure during the study period above) to do a good job of mosquito control. Plus you may save far more lives due to less malaria.

EDIT: In re. non-humans, I'm less familiar with that, but I'm an unabashed species-ist, I care that more humans live. If that has some environmental harm, then lets mitigate or try to reduce harm, but humans come first.
They didn't actually try to resolve it after they said it was cancelled. They said they couldn't do anything about it and to get back in the waiting list (it was a GTX 1080 right after release), and maybe it'd work.

Nowadays I go out of my way to buy from big stores like Amazon that already have this figured out, rather than buying directly from the manufacturer.
Wait, making sure they're not getting defrauded is a bad business model?

>1/3rd of the units sold? Or 1/3rd of the types of consoles? I know several consoles of the era also had DRM, so I’d be curious which ones youre referring to and the time period if referring to 1/3rd sold.

The Famicom did not have the DRM, and accounts for about a third of the total Nintendo sales. That market did not suffer because of the presence of piracy.

As for Denuovo, why would publishers hide data showing it works? And the base capitalism answer doesn't work,continuing to use aggressive DRM gives them information and a power over users that may not directly show a profit.

The rest of your arguments ignore the sales piracy brings because more people talking about it, an effective advertising, and the people who use piracy as a true demo.
