I still can't believe that they decided that the best use of their money to fund "open source" was just to give everyone Magma licenses. I hope they reconsider that choice some day.

Also, what is Fateman's problem? His constant negativity is really grating. I used to experience it when I was more involved with Maxima. I don't know if he thinks his cynicism is helpful or not, but all it ever did was make me unhappy.
I'm not sure how you're comparing adultery to rape.

When a man rapes a woman, he typically leaves behind his own DNA in the form of semen. That DNA is the only DNA the government has access to.

Contrary to what everyone here is saying, the government does not have access to the relative's DNA at all.

The phrasing was not intentionally bizarre. If you rape someone, then you consent to have your DNA examined by authorities so that they can catch you and put you in jail.

The irony in having to defend the idea of needing consent from a rapist has apparently escaped Hacker News's hive mind.

Nuclear also bacame more expensive because of very tight over regulation that also applies to research. We are stuck with 70 year old reactor designs now of which PWRs and PHWRs are so far the safest, but we should really move on with research into MSRs and other fast reactors which allow recycling of nuclear waste.
Funny I have an identical situation with my 17" 2006 MBP which has been repaired, and upgraded countless time. It has passed to many family members but it's back with me and I love it everytime I use it. Unfortunately, High Sierra doesn't support it so I don't know what it's future holds. My MBP 2016 is a disappointment; TB 3 is cool but I hate the touchbar and keyboard.

Not a physicist nor a geologist, but I feel a super earth would have a harder time cresting higher peaks due to gravity’s increased effect. It’s not going to look like “earth, only uniformly bigger.”
There's a long-standing bug with power management which causes the computer to sleep at random intervals. It's something to do with an interaction between power management and USB selective suspend, not sure exactly what triggers it but it's highly annoying. I'll be in a game, literally holding down one of the mouse buttons, and the computer will go to sleep.

What is China so scared about it needs to resort to this kind of shenanigans, over and over again?

Use of threats, bullying and excessive force definitely gives an impression that China is very weak in some way(s). Does China's leadership think the regime is about to implode to turn to this desperate measures?

I don't think Microsoft and I have the same idea about focus and distraction.

I just got a small Windows laptop for a couple of tasks I can't do well on Linux, and after it updated to the latest Windows stuff it had dozens of notifications enabled. All kinds of ridiculous crap popping up while I'm trying to do things. Like, a constant battery of interruptions, with noise and visual bubbles over in the notifications corner. Sure, they can be disabled, but I had to manually go through and turn them all off. That's not to say Linux or Android are immune, but this was just nuts.

Actually, to be fair, Android may be worse these days, I've had to start turning off all notifications for apps like Facebook, even though I'd like to get some (like timeline events that actually involve me), but they group things I don't care about (like events my friends are going to) with things I do, so it gets turned off completely. But, it's just gotten crazy how insistent everything is about getting my attention constantly. Our devices have become like needy children.

So, cool, I guess? But, I'm a bit mistrustful that anyone has an interest in fixing this problem, since for most companies it isn't a problem but a money-making tactic.

I figure "it can't hurt, there is a significant market failure, and price transparency can only help."

I'd like to hear someone knowledgeable provide a counterargument, though. Maybe it would be expensive or impossible to enumerate those costs. Maybe preferential ("discriminatory") pricing is really important to the smooth functioning of the system.
Compared to FB the algorithms are not even close to being smart and thats the point. Even when it was sorted chronologically Instagram was known for being a kind of depression factory and if you look at all the studies done about social media and it's effect it's not which item the algorithms show but the fact that everyone is posting "perfect lives" and have been known for some time now.
Wow, so I guess you could say that you don't have to be 100% effective, just better than the other potential victims.
Serious question: why is this getting so much attention on HN?
I'm really sorry if some people credit Sage without properly crediting everything Sage depends on. We've gone out of our way to make the architecture of Sage clear. E.g., look at the description of Sage on our website: "SageMath is a free open-source mathematics software system licensed under the GPL. It builds on top of many existing open-source packages: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Maxima, GAP, FLINT, R and many more. Access their combined power through a common, Python-based language or directly via interfaces or wrappers." The "and many more" is a link to each component of Sage. I also often tried in talks to always define sage as: (1) a distribution of open source math software, and (2) a Python library that ties them together. Given the mostly volunteer nature of the project, many Sage developers are mostly concerned with creating software to support their research (which they then want to get back to), instead of worrying about the very important social points that you bring up.

The linear search code should probably be in a library, and in fact often is, if you have the GNU extension memmem().

I'm also not convinced that it's that hard. This seems to be the new cult; just because someone buggered up binary search with an integer overflow once, we're not going to write non-pathological algorithms anymore?

Doing it in the accounting manner that a typical firm would do is foolish in this instance.

A homeowner is going to sweat assets, and in the case of Solar a 1% degradation per year means that, short of some damage or failure, the time you're likely to sweat them is between 20 and 80 years.

My favorite power management bug is in the Windows 7 original release. The default configuration was to put the computer to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. In many situations this was fine however what is the first thing that you do with a new OS installation? Install patches of course. And the way that Windows works is it does this in two phases, it'll do some installation work while a user is a logged in, and it'll do additional installation and configuration stuff after a reboot but before a user can login. Which the OS isn't smart enough to understand doesn't count as "idle time". So at some point after Windows 7 came out the size and installation time of all the patches (especially on a spinning hard drive) would cause the OS to get into a reboot loop. It would boot, immediately try to apply the configuration updates for installed patches, timeout and be triggered to go to sleep, rollback the changes, and then it would start again. Eventually some failure threshold would get triggered and you could actually login and fix the stupid power management settings before trying to patch again but it was always a nasty surprise if you forgot about it and simply assumed MS wouldn't ever do something so braindead.
Well at 8k per eye (horizontal?) and 57pix/deg (retina resolution) that would be 140deg, which seems a bit of overkill (although it's close to max FOV). This is made especially difficult since latency is so critical to preventing VR nausea (120-180Hz). However, the bandwidth required to drive such (a pair) of displays would exceed 200Gbps (5 Thunderbolt per eye) so I assume going over the air there'd be a lot of compression? That's ignoring the GPU requirements which also scale... so seems like overkill.

More likely it's 8k total (4k per eye foveated rendering), and a single 20x9 display, but that's just a guess. You can do lots of things for a demo.

Edit- note the pictures are from MagicLeap and the idea that there are miniaturized high resolution microLED displays is pretty funny... perhaps they mean microOLED? Those top out below 8K even for max reticle size (30mm) die with 8um sub-pixels.

If there are 1 million such single-family houses, and replacing 200,000 of them with multifamily structures is sufficient to sate all the demand that is driving up costs, then that zoning reform seems like it will reduce the value of 80% of the homes in the area.

I would put your dictionary into a prefix tree if some sort, and the first implementation I would reach for is a trinary tree [1]. As you scan your input, walk the tree. Each time you get to the end of the tree, insert a space one go back to the root. Once the tree is built it’s O(length of input) [2] regardless if dictionary size.

1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_search_tree

2: for a fixed alphabet size. It’s really closer to O(dictionary size * log(alphabet size)) if that increases with dictionary size.
Ask HN: Getting back in the zone is easy?
I regularly read the opinion that if a coder is in the zone and is interrupted, it takes quite a while to get back in. Today in their Windows 10 feature announcement, Microsoft quoted this time as 23 minutes.

Thing is, I've never really had this problem. I can get back in the zone quite quickly. Maybe my work just isn't that intense (JS frontend).

Similarly, I don't find reading a screen late at night delays sleep. It takes me less than five minutes to get to sleep at night, and I've often fallen asleep phone in hand.

Am I a freak? Anyone else out there who doesn't have these issues?
I watched this rumor get bounced around the internet today, it's pretty hilarious how the facts get stretched every step of the way.

Claiming dual 8k displays (remember, 2 8k displays does not turn into a 16k display headset, because you need to double the height as well). From MacRumors: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/04/27/apple-ar-vr-headset-8k-...

Further rumors claims it'll run a custom 5nm processor (https://www.macworld.com/article/3269471/consumer-electronic...), even though there are currently NO fabs that can get 5nm.

Apple might be working on a VR headset, but I doubt these rumors are true.
My computer is from 2012 with Windows 7 and they will pry that out of my cold dark hands. I was going to upgrade but literally the week I was going to buy my new computer, the Meltdown/Spectre exploit came out, so I'm waiting for an entirely new chip, if it can even be fixed.
I've experimented with a few different things and there really are lots of valid ways to work depending on context.

Terraform: at some point you will probably end up here. It gives you so much control, it's fast and (mostly) easy to work with. It gives you a good idea of what it is doing and why.

Cloudformation: mostly I've used this embedded in some other tool. For example we have a fairly small Elastic Beanstalk app which uses SQS and SNS - nice to be able to extend the basic infrastructure easily inline with your app definition. Similar situation with serverless.

Awless: this is a really nice (scriptable!) CLI alternative. Nothing wrong with the normal AWS CLI but this does some things simpler/nicer. If what you are doing is simple enough you can script infrastructure with these tools.

Console: I really use this alongside the other things as I'm building automation or to explore some new service I've not used before.

Ansible: for configuration management (post terraform apply) we are using ansible. So far we set up an admin box inside the infrastructure and run ansible from there. We've experimented with having ansible build the inventory but currently looking at a bash/jq/awless combo to build it dynamically.

Edit: not ever used ansible to modify AWS infrastructure. We keep infrastructure separate with a configuration management separate from setting up the infrastructure.

Scenes Unseen: The Summer of ’78
I had the great privilege of spending a couple days on the Rebankses' farm during lambing season two years ago. If it hadn't been for the ATV and the plastic overalls I'd have sworn I'd traveled through time. James's family and their neighbors are carrying on traditions that have been part of the land there for well over a thousand years. (Some of the local language even comes directly from the Old Norse brought over by the Vikings—"fell," for example; compare with Icelandic "fjall.")

I have enormous respect for their way of life. It is backbreaking, never-ending work, especially during lambing season, and they wouldn't give it up for anything.
Timeline, calling it stuff is kinda lame marketing. Been using it as a Windows insider, it keeps track what documents were open in which application. Works great with office but I guess will take a while before all applications add support for it. Generally it's a good idea even if using only one device, think of it as "recent files" on steroids.

On the Publisher of Hicks's *Explaining Postmodernism*
Re: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15168264.

FYI, the publisher of Explaining Postmodernism for its first many printings was Scholargy Press, which did standard peer review and to which I had no personal or professional relationship other than the standard publisher-author one. Please also note the several reviews of the book in scholarly journals by Ph.D.s in philosophy, all of which do a professional job of summarizing the book's themes and arguments, even when they agree and disagree to varying degrees. And please note that the multiple foreign translations were all produced by quality commercial publishers and university presses, again with peer review.

We'll make progress on these issues only when we take each other's arguments seriously.

Full ACK. Ever been on a presentation by someone with a windows computer? It's amusing how much popups appear and chimes ring out after startup and even while presenting. As I'm not an active Windows user, I don't know if there is a proper way to hide them all. At least for Mac OS X, Android (LineageOS) and the two infamous linux desktop environments I know they can be fine-tuned.

As you write, I think applications who abuse their permission to interrupt the user lose their credibility and usefulness. It is just the equivalent of having a word processor putting advertisement on a printout. It renders it useless.
Hmm. What's the threshold of activity? And is there a way to clear the flag without doing something wasteful like pegging some CPU cores?

For some time you could steal AOL usernames by registering i.e. 'obar' or 'oobar', and using client side hacks could switch the registration to the already registered username 'foobar' which would then belong to you.

This only worked if 'obar' or 'oobar' was unregistered, but it was a pretty nifty way to steal single word usernames, and speaks to some strange validation/truncation somewhere in the code.

I suspect the video you say was this one.[1] If so, you might have noticed in the description Nick Bostrom is the original author, or might have noticed the credits at the end. CGP Grey, the narrator of the video, is a fairly famous youtube personality, and have been on a sort of crusade against death and ageing lately with a few videos.

I think it's more likely that it was posted here because of CGP Grey's video bring some new (or more recent) popularity to it.
