Homeowners and renters are affected by these policies differently, often in opposite ways. That's the point. Obviously these NIMBYs are homeowners because their position grossly favors existing homeowners. Mortgage payments are not affected by a constant influx of new people but rent prices are. Stalling is a win for one side only. Anybody can wish for "preserving quality of life." But while they are wishing homeowners are reaping all of the benefits and renters are getting screwed.
All six of the (major) banks I use require username and password only. And four of those limit password length to less than 12 characters.
> My contention is that I prefer and believe it is ethically superior for hiring and acceptance practices to consciously remove, as much as possible, the influence of prejudice for each candidate.

It is! But many people in charge of hiring have no interest in doing so, although they’ll claim they have. And when the numbers don’t back them up, they’ll always have a convenient excuse.
GameCube 22 million units sold.

So...what exactly would you call a fad?
Agreed, I think that's the state of the art: if variable concurrency is important, manage your own spare capacity. But I expect AWS and other providers will some day let us pay for reserved capacity without managing it, and I can't wait.
> It doesn't try to analyze and compare existing programming languages.

It does. For example, this theory identifies when and how incorrectly designed programming languages fail to enforce abstractions, very much like how the theory of database normalization identifies when and how incorrectly designed database schemata fail to enforce data integrity constraints.

But perhaps what you mean is “it doesn't try to view existing programming languages under an unwarranted positive light”.

I'd also say it's not a fad if it was superseded like this. It's not that the wii lost favor, it's generation became out of date, and nintendo was betting on people buying it's new product.
Fads usually have an illogical, social reason for their popularity, not a direct spec to spec comparison (Playstation pro beats the wii in popularity at this time (2018)- well duh!)

The wii was popular for many reasons, and I'm sure it became "popular" to buy one, but it didn't lose to a social hype dying down, it lost to a new generation of consoles (and it's successor didn't do well in comparison to those)

This seems like such a bizarre, fluff article to find itself topping on HN.
That's not what the author intended by "anything about the number of blue dots". The author means "anything about the number of blue dots, but not who has them", because the proof of the solution relies on the fact that each person
("Alice") doesn't know whether their own dot is in the set the stranger speaks about but everyone else does know whether "Alice" is in the set.

"Alice has a blue dot" adds extra information (It's equivalent to "There is at least one blue dot", and Alice has a blue dot"), and that extra information is critical in that, even though it adds some information, it removes useful information by reducing the information entropy of the situation, which stymies efforts to make inferences.

The problem wording is (arguably) ambiguous on that point.

What he writes is an introduction to bare metal programs for somebody who has worked under an operating system before.

In both cases a lot of code is run before main(). But very different code. In bare metal you more likely need to care what it does. In the operating system case the developers of the OS more likely have done more for you than you will ever need to know about.

Would they be fine?

So let's say there are two people with red dots, let's name them Ruth and Rudy. Ruth now knows that "not all dots are blue" (which is equivalent to "there is at least one red dot"). She sees Rudy with the red dot: Fine, here's the person with the red dot.

But wait a minute, why is Rudy not killing himself? If Rudy is the only person with a red dot, he should have seen only blue dots... however he knows there has to be at least one red dot, so if he only saw blue dots, the red dot must have been him, so he would have killed himself.

But he didn't, so that means he has seen at least one red dot, which isn't him, and isn't anybody else Ruth has seen because she only saw blue dots otherwise.

Oh no, it must be Ruth with the second red dot!

That feels like a fairly unique experience. I was in the military and I don't recall ever meeting anyone with that sort of attitude towards killing or death. On the contrary, most everyone I knew was rather opposed to fighting and saw what we were signed up for as a necessity that we did out of duty to our country, not because we liked it.
So, Google pulled down 9.9B in profits last quarter. That means if they've got 88k employees, they could hand out somewhere around an EXTRA $450k to every single employee every year and still be in the green.

Facebook looks roughly the same.

The leverage of a software engineer to produce money is really quite astounding when you get them in large herds.

I'm pretty sure the Bay Area is going to be just fine.
In WWII, bullet holes in planes had to be repaired. But the damage wasn't uniform - some areas got badly shot up, some areas were never damaged. So they added armour to the undamaged areas, because the planes that got shot there never came back.

Similar idea from another angle: superficial design flaws obscure fundamental design flaws (Douglas Adams on the Sirius Corporation Complaints Depatment)
Security clearance not as in the kind that you need to work government jobs. Security clearance as in "basic" background checks.
That's not really what's going on here. Typically when quantum computers are compared against classical computers, it's assumed that the latter have access to a source of randomness. It's not the randomness by itself that should make this hard for a classical computer.
Priced out of the American dream
People in this thread that are praising job-creation as a social good miss the point. Jobs are not good on their own if they produce nothing.

If you are unable to distribute wealth through other means and a job is absolutely necessary, then find some useful work for the person to do. There is ALWAYS more work to do There are never enough bridges, roads, doctors, books, movies, research, etc. etc. If your society cannot find useful things for people to do, that is a failing of your method of societal organization.

Yes, the solution to "Unwanted Expansion" is simply "because we assume that math works". It's begging the question. If you don't know what he's assuming, you don't know what proofs are "interesting".

You could just as well say, "Because it's a finite" expression.

"Boxes in Boxes" doesn't really fit the theme. It's a complicated elementary math problem that's hard to solve, but not "tricky" in way that makes it seem impossible.
I've used both azure functions and aws lambda in production environments. Azure functions feel rushed out the door with gotchas/problems around every corner, including major stability issues. Azure functions are mid transition between v1 and v2, with v1 becoming outdated with nuget version lockin and cluttered with gotchas, but v2 is plagued with stability problems and breaking changes happening every other month.

Aws lambdas have had more refinement done on them. For the time being i wouldn't recommend azure functions unless there's non technical motivations.

Without really planning it or advertising myself much. I don't have a website even. So I'm not the right person to ask. All I can say is just be persistent, don't sell yourself short, and most importantly always do an excellent job that wows your client. Work harder than your peers. I've always worked 6-7 days a week (always working challenging side projects after work), and after 15 years of doing that I'm better than most of my peers - it's like making a slowly compounding investment in yourself.

I haven't enjoyed life as much as my peers perhaps, although I do have a good time and I love what I do. But I'll retire early in my fourties and spend the rest of my life working on whatever I find interesting, traveling, or whatever else catches my fancy.

TEMPORA is a GCHQ system, not an NSA system, and has nothing to do with Room 641A. Additionally, it cannot record all US phone conversations as you claimed because domestic phone calls do not leave the US.

1. James Clapper is not in the NSA.

2. The NSA never recorded all domestic phone calls, and there is no evidence that they ever did, so neither Clapper nor the NSA lied about that.

a design occurs primarily at the

This is the problem with the information hiding approach of ADT, OO and even APIs: makes it easy to change the module internals, but hard to change the module interfaces.

But, TBF, the real problem is dependencies.

It's a trick of perspective.

A good player (say, Ninja) routinely plays an entire 20 minute game, eliminating maybe a dozen or so other players themselves out of the roughly 100 starting. So for them this 20 minutes is spent doing what they enjoy, stalking and killing their opponents. On a run, Ninja might do this three times in an hour. A whole hour of being awesome.

A bad player like me usually is eliminated much earlier in the game, maybe they spend that time frantically hiding from superior players, or they lay traps, or the stay on the fringes of the island away from contact, sooner or later though they get killed... and then they immediately jump into a _different game_ and start over. In an hour they might play 10 games, or even thirty if they're very, very bad or just love starting in the most conflicted zones and often die in the opening seconds.

The rest of the game design exists to reinforce this basic idea, for example there's a "zone" or "storm" mechanism forcing players into a gradually smaller (but random) part of the map as the game progresses to keep them in conflict so that they get eliminated. Players deliberately aren't named while they're alive, you are sniping some chick in a rabbit suit, not LiverpoolFCFan, and she won't be back in the same game, so you don't learn anything re-usable.

The result of this trick of perspective is that more people are having fun, not just the most skilled players.

This writer circles poignant issues but I don't feel like he has enough insight to shed any real illumination on them.

I'm actually pretty alarmed that he seems to think society no longer glamourises war and in almost the same breath describes how our cultural depictions are transmuted from showing outright psychopathy to evoking glamour (Wagner being played for the US invasion of Granada in 1983, 4 years after Apocalypse Now hit cinemas).
Another common version of this is: video game project turning into a video game engine project, usually not even reaching the actual content phase.

This talk was about Foundation DB was brought up recently, and it's pretty amazing. I recommend watching the whole thing, but to be brief they are taming the "infinite interleavings" problem through determinism.

"Testing Distributed Systems w/ Deterministic Simulation" by Will Wilson

They wrote an interesting Actor DSL that compiles to C++ and is completely deterministic, and they torture this deterministic engine with generated test cases on a cluster every night.

I guess you could say that the whole cluster is necessarily non-deterministic, but an individual node is deterministic, given an ordering of the messages it receives.

Strategies to become a better student
Your message sounds kind of ominous but I'd like to point out hanlon's razor. The NSA sounds like another public sector organization that just tries to spend us much money as it can to justify itself getting so much money. The problem is when people with access to that information try to use it for their own personal gain, or when they use this information against anyone who speaks out against the NSA's ridiculous budget because they think that anyone who speaks out against the NSA obviously is a threat to National Security.

Both those things might have happened already.
That's not an interesting point, and as someone else pointed out you moved the goalposts from no competition in GPUs to no competition in top end consumer GPU.

It does sadden me to see NVidia acting like a sore winner like Intel and Microsoft before it. I suppose they won't stop until they have 97% market share (they need to keep AMD alive to preserve the appearance of competition).
The difference being of course that slaves were unjustly enslaved and prisoners committed a crime...

Just a minor difference.

The truth is that some blacks are unjustly imprisoned by bigots, the lie is that imprisoned blacks are not generally deservedly prisoned.
Is there a chance, nay, is there not certainty, that some individual or group of persons in the NSA could or does, by selectively monitoring, personally gain tremendous wealth or influence? E.g., if I were an NSA employee and used my access to follow the phone calls of, say, the officers of Goldman-Sachs? What information, of financial value, could I possibly gain? What possibilities for gain await a a rogue organized group of such employees?
There are over a hundred shell scripts in my /usr/bin/ dir that don't end in '.sh'. There are even Python scripts in there that don't end in '.py'. The world hasn't gone mad?

Ending the filename of a shell script in '.sh', while a useful and common convention, is unnecessary (I appreciate you that you acknowledge that) so using that to identify shell scripts is a heuristic, just like what file does.

Look, I don't want to argue about this. cat199 was catching downvotes for pointing out, quite correctly, that the '.sh' extension was just a convention, and, well... https://www.xkcd.com/386/

Filename extensions have always been a crappy hack to get around the omission of useful metadata associated with a file on some early filesystems. Gnome file viewer thing doesn't even sort by them!

There can be one time review fee but not the recurring fee. That is pure conflict of interest and immediate give away to this whole evil money making scheme called AdBlock Plus. They are ad mafia in its very sense.
