>You're sometimes right, but sometimes really wrong.

Ya.

As far as graphics, the only time I was ever fooled was by a front end guy in 2005. He brought really nice looking color printouts of his front ends; beautiful stuff. I was really wowed by it; so much I didn't ask him basic programming problems or follow up questions about his prior work, and that was my fault. I allowed myself to be fooled.

His biggest issue was he was lazy. He had grown accustomed to government contracts where you do a lot of prototyping, but nothing ever went live (at least the contracts he had). We had a very aggressive 3 year schedule to build a sophisticated product and he just couldn't or wouldn't keep up. I had to double my workload and he ended up only doing about 5% when he should have done a third and he required a lot of prodding and hand holding. We still managed to ship on time though, but it was really hard on the other 2 people on the team for 3 years.

I'll never make that mistake again.
This code is not written for production, it's just written to make you understand how the basic of this technology works.
So I would say the unit tests have the exact same purpose: make the reader understand what the functions are doing (and not a real unit testing).

Since you speak of value, the value Peter Norvig is trying to provide is making readers understand the principles, he's not trying to provide some monetary value. So I don't think your criticisms apply here, those tests fit the purpose very well.
Wow, talk about hacking democracy (in the good sense). Interesting idea. Some surprising places on the "considering" map: Kansas, Arizona, and especially Alaska would seem to be discarding some political power if they adopt this scheme. I wonder what the impetus is?
You might want to speak to someone who owned one then and what purpose they used it for.
First of all, exactly zero people pay taxes to fund the GWOT. When the wars started, taxes were lowered, not raised. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been funded by debt, not funded by taxes like they should have been.

Second, the whole "WMD is a lie" is largely a matter of semantics. Under federal law, any bomb is a WMD; any grenade is a WMD; any rocket with > 4oz propellant is a WMD; any missile with an explosive charge > 0.25oz is a WMD; any mine is a WMD; any large caliber firearm with a bore > 0.5" in diameter (except shotguns) is a WMD. Of course, chemical, pathogenic, and radioactive weapons are also considered WMDs. 18 U.S.C. §§ 2332a, 921(a)(4).

What evidence do you have that the Iraqi army under Saddam didn't possess grenades?

Certainly, a grenade isn't what most people thought President G. W. Bush meant. I won't dispute that there's a lot of spin involved.

But there's a big difference between spin and a lie.

As it says on the hospital's website, "difficult" births will be free to those eligible (British, EU etc) but will be charged to others (presumably people like the wealthy Arab people in the brochure).

I'm not sure how you determined that? The article is light on details and it is not clear what Madsen defense is.
It's not even the creepiest one for me, the creepiest one is receiving a notification while you are at the restaurant from Google Maps saying something like "We know you are there, please send us pictures of that place"
Yours is the only post in this entire thread adding the needed context.

The article doesn't either. Yet somehow you were at the bottom of the page for me. I don't understand why.
You pretty much summed up what I was thinking the entire time I was reading the article. The average person will say, "Oh yeah... WE'RE doing a GREAT job! We're doing what we need to do to make progress, and things are improving for us."

And then they'll say, "It's all those OTHER people and places that are being jerks!"

I wish people could better see where other people are coming from so to speak.
They somehow made the blog post more painful to read than a CNN article. That's talent right there.

Ask HN: Best CRM for a B2B client selling across Europe?
I'm looking for a CRM system for a business that sells B2B in all european countries. The company has around 25 employees speaking 10 languages so I18N is a must.

Other nice features would be build-in email automation, integration of 3rd party software e.g. Zapier, clean and web based UI.

I've looked at Pipedrive, Freshsales and Hubspot so far.

Are there any other providers worth looking at?
North Korea’s nuclear test site has collapsed
Ah, I guess that wasn’t clear. Typically, yes, all tests would be run, though as someone else mentioned sometimes during development a smaller subset may be run for the sake of time (but all tests would still be run prior to QA and final release).
Doesn't that plastic have to cross the oceans surface in order to reach the beaches or degrade in the sunlight to sink? Wouldn't this be attempting to fix the problem upstream? (literally heh)
I do agree that a tamper-resistant store would be useful for things like journalism, legislature, official government communication, campaign content for politicians, etc. A distributed ledger for these would also be good because then you’re verifying that store in public view.

It’s too bad all you can build with that is a meager, profitable SaaS business, not a wild speculative crypto-billionaire rocket ride.
Gmail gets self-destruct option ahead of GDPR
This is a problem even in tropical countries such as India and Singapore. The contrast between outside and inside temperatures is insane. We get headaches and God knows what the long term detrimental health effects are. It's worse in Singapore as the subway is also super cold.
The caches on some SSD's can be multiple gigabytes.

They also frequently cache data which can be difficult (slow) to write, for example a single modified 4kb page which is part of a large unmodified area. Completing that write would involve reading the original data, erasing the entire erase-block, and rewriting the new data.

SSD's with built in power loss prevention typically reserve an area on the SSD which is pre-erased ready to dump the contents of the cache into. Then on powerup, they reload the cache and properly flush the data to the actual place it's supposed to be.
The hash function itself is mostly cache independent, unless you count those variants which skip long strings.

You can cache the hash in the entry itself or not. You can compress the entries, but mostly using linear collision structures.

> it shouldn't be related to Windows 10 at all

Let’s compare with Vulkan on Linux, I hope we all agree Microsoft has nothing to do about them.

Intel Vulcan drivers for Linux require at least kernel 3.10, released in 2013.

nVidia Vulkan driver requires Linux kernel version 3.13+.

Should Vulkan support be related to Linux kernel version? Probably not, but it still is.

> forcing people to change their systems to Vista

They haven’t forces too many, Vista never surpassed XP (1). And around 2009, average installed RAM amount exceeded 2GB (2), I think more people upgraded the OS because of the 64 bits. I know about XP 64, but the software & driver support just wasn’t there.

Even if you made this a one click service the trailing characters are going to be a killer. Companies care a lot about their brand. And it would require a total mindset change for people to verify that they are going to superkuhbitj6tul.onion and not superkuhbit6g4tfr4.onion by verifying the cert that was offered up by the destination site.

That's interesting, I haven't seen that before.

> I assume I am actually just ignorant of some great communities and stories out there though.

I agree, I'm sure some people have done it. We just aren't aware of it.

I'm interested in people taking advantage of the unique things you can do with the web like motion graphics with D3. If you look at the nytimes visual stories I linked, they do things like move the text with you along the map as you scroll. It's a totally unique way to immerse a reader on the web into the setting. There's already visual essays out there on youtube like Vox and radio plays have picked up steam in the world of podcasts. It would seem that this is the web frontier for authors to try.

This essay by David Foster Wallace makes an interesting use of annotations for DFW's annotation heavy writing style. It actually creates a better experience than the experience in print: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2005/04/host/30...

I think people would pay 8 or 9 dollars for a novel with well done graphics online. That would be virtually all profit.

True, if you get a life sentence in Denmark you will most like be free quicker than someone getting fixed sentence for somewhere between 12 - 18 years.

It should be noted that that if you kill a police office and get a life sentence, the you will stay in prison for a VERY long time.
That's also how "progressives" sent thousands to the guillotine in 18th century France and starved millions in 20th century China. They wrote laws. People who couldn't get behind those laws (or who were just associated with the wrong people) got screwed.

"Get on board or we'll screw you over", which is exactly the dynamic a "well-hated" law creates, is not how a healthy society is run.

NY-SAFE is an example of a "well hated law". How is it working outside the areas that wanted it in the first place? Culture isn't shifting very much as far as I can tell.

I really the advice:

live in a neighborhood, especially if possible live in a walk-able mixed use neighborhood close to work, OP might live in NYC so maybe he's got this covered.

I estimate your quality of life is very high compared the people in most of America who spend their days stuck in traffic.

Gyms are a nice way to get out of the house and mingle in the neighborhood, so not sure about the home gym.

I remember reading in the NYT about some very successful actor who they profiled on a Saturday, what did he do with his time / money? Got a coffee, walked his dog down to the wharf, planned on reading a book later. Or what does Andrew Ng like to do on his days off with all his money, according to the article I read, stay home and read a book. Its funny how after a certain level people don't have much to buy unless they take up something like yachting or car racing.
Not with GMail, which I don't use, but sometimes I open a site again instead of looking for it in the windows and tabs I leave open forever (32 GB RAM help). It happens with Google Drive and Docs. Maybe the OP also keeps many tabs open.
Understanding the Instruction Pipeline
It would never be enough anyway. We know what the small scale effects of UBI are - much the same as tax credits but they get always get cancelled politically or run down to an irrelevance.

And extrapolating such small scale interventions to an entire currency area leads to a fallacy of composition.

Surprised nobody mentions the availability of Google Tasks for iOS here. Or is that old news?

I use tasks because it lives on top of Google Calendar, which I use and look at every day. Every other task-tracking option has failed because if it’s not in front of me then it’s not helpful.

The biggest problem, until now, has been the lack of a mobile app for tasks. I, got one, am excited about this.

Yes, have been doing so since about Fedora 10, with about 30 VMs used for various purposes (i.e. it's not just a cluster of 30 identical systems).

Version upgrades in the early days weren't great, but recently (last 5 years or so) it's been totally fine.

Prior to that I used to do LTS-style distros, with version upgrades every 2 or 3 years, but I've found that testing the impact of an upgrade is far easier if you're doing incremental changes every 6-12 months.

Sorry, this wasn’t totally clear and I thought “run all tests” was implied. What I was trying to get at was the difference between “we have a suite that includes individual tests for every single separate method so we have great coverage” vs “we have a suite of tests that run against public APIs that still manage to touch the methods involved”. The former may test “everything” but not in the right way, if that makes sense.

I should have said “you’ve only written a test” rather than only having run a test.
ATX power supplies have a PWR_OK pin, which goes low when power is lost.

Most motherboards don't report that to the OS though, instead they simply reset all the hardware.

To be fair, it's probably preferable to reset stuff than to operate when the power supply isn't healthy, since that will lead to a lot of weird undefined behaviour.

"...So when you live in these places and you see hatred for people like you, how are you supposed to be optimistic and excited about the prospects for your children and grandchildren?..."

Yeah... but that's been going on forever. You see that with Muslims recently. We've seen that with hispanics. Further back, of course, we've been seeing it with blacks and native americans for a long time. That will ALWAYS happen.

The trick is to work out a way to keep moving forward even in the face of tribalism. Because I'm not entirely certain that we can eliminate tribalism. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm not sure that I will be.
The Best Place for Error Messages on Forms
I learned electrical and electronic fundamentals on the job working for a film industry supplier in Toronto. I'm kind of in the opposite spot— I'm just getting into modular electronics as part of my path to learning embedded engineering.

I highly recommend gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of electricity, then something about how those various parts play a role in a given circuit.

If you want a bit of a playground, you should try out Tinkercad. Just sign up, set up a new Circuit and you have all of those parts at your disposal. It might help to toy around with parts there while you follow along any tutorials or reading some basics.

For instance, try changing the resistor value in this circuit and watch what happens to the LED when it's on:

https://www.tinkercad.com/things/hmBoHhmong2-bodacious-krunk...

(hint: Try setting it lower, to say 1Ω from the default 440Ω. Then try setting it much higher like 10kΩ and see what happens.)

Also this gives a really brief breakdown of some essential knowledge:

My good man, I think you'll find that the Irish Tax Payer (public funds) was on the hook for that Private debt, In the same way the American Tax payer was. There was no bail out for Ireland. There was for the banks in Ireland by the Citizens. This is a scandal for many reasons. But clearly not what you just wrote that Ireland was bailed out by higher-tax countries in the EU. (Unless you class Irish Tax payers as higher Tax EU Countries?)

Ireland's Tax Payers are still paying and will be paying for this scandal for Decades to come.
I recently moved my stuff to / paid a year of Fastmail. I gather Protonmail puts security features a bit more front-and-center.

How about the UX? Can anyone comment on how they like the over all experience of Protonmail as compared to Fastmail? I realize I could sign up a Protonmail account and compare, but I’m not sure I’d get a good picture of the service through casual use.

I like Fastmail quite a lot so far, but I’m open to reevaluating in a year’s time.

I think fake news are a separate category than (threats of) violence and kiddy porn. If for one of those types of things you immediately notify the relevant authorities that is the most important thing and I doubt there would be any liabilities.
Not only there. Automatic word replacement is my absolute least favorite iOS mobile feature. I cannot tell you how many times I painstakingly, painfully thumb typed exactly what I meant just to have it changed out from under me. And I have gone back to see nonsense messages where I know I didn't type what was sent. Very frustrating.
Granted I've never lived in Belgium but MA has a corrupt gravy train of a government. We're literally too efficient with our money to afford nice things.

Someone else mentioned Hans Reiser, and it's on Hacker News for the same reason. Peter Madsen is very much so a hacker. but with submarines and rockets.

You do have a point though, the only reason that some many is interested, is because the whole thing happened in a submarine. I doubt that it would make the headlines around the world if he killed her in the back of a van.
> Forgive my shallow understanding of block chain, but wouldn't that make the archive immutable?

Kind of. The current state of the archive is mutable, but that changes to that state are logged to an append-only edit history — it's that edit history that is the "blockchain", and starting from a known good state and replaying all those edits must produce the current state. In fact, this is how cryptocurrencies work too — the state is the balances/utxo set, and the blockchain records transactions, which are effectively just mutations on that state.

In this situation, you'd look at the current state and find the deleted snapshot missing, but the edit log would have an entry saying the snapshot was added (and what its hash was at the time), then another entry saying it was deleted.

To people debating whether China are the good guys or not - hundreds of thousands Falun Dafa practicioners are locked up in Chinese concentration camps. Thousands have died of torture.

I think what you are asking is about just learning basic electronics and the digital protocols that connect different "modules" (and what kind of extra circuitry they need). For most consumer stuff (i.e. if you are not working on cars or industrial robots) you can get a lot done with just knowing about these three protocols:

- UART: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uart

- SPI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface_Bu...

- I2C (sometimes called TWI - two wire interface): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C
