Often it is disheartening to bend make to your bidding. But cixl has a neatly arranged tree and the makefile to build it is trivial. The following lines suffice (and by running 'make test -j' you compile everything in parallel and run all the tests) :

CFLAGS = -Isrc -O2
LDLIBS = -ldl -lm

SRC = $(shell ls src/cixl/*.c src/cixl/lib/*.c)
OBJ = $(SRC:%.c=%.o)

src/main : src/main.o $(OBJ)

clean : ; $(RM) $(OBJ) src/main

test: src/main ; for i in tests/*; do ./src/main<$$i; done

Albert Einstein:
“Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.”

:)
I guess what I'm saying is the original comment's opening statement is vacuous. We can argue semantics over whether or not it's "unpleasant" or "frustrating" to learn difficult new abstractions in math, but the more important point is that 1) learning math is difficult for approximately everyone, even accomplished mathematicians, and 2) it's silly to avoid taking advice from people who had a difficult time learning math, because that rules out almost all your potential teachers. Even as an enjoyable experience it's frequently confounding. If it weren't, Wiles' famous analogy about stumbling around in a dark mansion looking for lights wouldn't be as oft-repeated as it is. If you don't want to use the word "frustration", then fine don't use it, but I think that misses the substance of the article author's point. You could adequately replace the statement in question with, "Be willing to endure ungodly amounts of confusion."
I'm curious to know if you are the US.

Five years of university math here and I can only mirror the author's experience. If having the feeling that math is hard ought to disqualify you then everybody will probably be disqualified.

Maths is hard for everybody, including the people who excel at it. I've never met anybody who has spent serious time on a math education suggest anything else.

If you get a sadistic pleasure out of torturing your mind with numbing puzzles and like the reward of finally figuring something out that you had to ponder for days (or longer) then you have a good chance of doing maths at the university level. But it never really comes naturally to anybody, it's not the kind of thing we're build for.

My guess would be that the situation isn't that they can't find the stringrays but that they can't distinguish between "hostile" and "friendly" stringrays. After all, each agency deploying such devices does so as secretly as possible, naturally not alerting other agencies, and so there's no list of friendly stingrays.

Your questioning is weak. The parent spoke of an "oppressive government like China". Can you say that the US is oppressive? Sure, that can be argued ad nauseam, despite e.g. the courts being used to challenge or block most of the president's executive actions.

It is philosophy-free for the scientists that practice it. I'm arguing that physicists don't need to think about philosophy in order to do physics. I'm not arguing that philosophy is unnecessary for civilization - just the practical fact that physicist do not need to take philosophy classes and would be unlikely to benefit from doing so.

The philosophy of science I am arguing for is empirically testable: so, as far as I can see that makes it science as opposed to philosophy.

I'm almost sure I can't help because I usually don't know too many low level stuff, but if it were a subject I may try to help the first things I'd like to see is a github repository to look at the code.

Are you using C? Have you tried the Boehm garbage collector? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boehm_garbage_collector . GC are too difficult, perhaps you can try to use it first and when the rest of the language is complete write your own.

Also, it would be nice to have a blog post or something explaining what is working and what is failing in your GC.

As far as I can tell, formatdoc[0] doesn't provide a "semantically correct" method for formatting quotes. Hence, the age-old usenet quote (as codified in RFC3676[1]) seems to me to be the best way of indicating a quotation, and rendering it via a verbatim block ensures that the line-based quotation indication isn't disrupted by the text all being in a <p> tag when rendered in HTML.

Show HN: Post Jobs free
US has one of the biggest jail population in the world, which also exhibits a big social bias toward black males.

Then it has the biggest military budget in the world, despite the fact no country has attacked it for centuries.

But it did invade Irak, while lying about the WMD and against the vote of almost the entire world.

Before that it used drugs to finance big entities, funded dictatorships and dropped the second bomb on Japan during WWII, ignoring that the first one did the job.

It also consider it's own population as a threat, recording everything it communicates.

Just because it doesn't do the same mistakes as another countries doesn't mean it's doing things right. You would be living in China, you would rationalize what the state does, just like you do because you are in the US.

These EHR systems sound difficult and time-consuming to use. If they can't/won't be directly improved any time soon, why don't nurses and doctors have data entry specialist partners to do the clicking and typing? Why not take some people with a 2-year medical data entry certification and train them to use $INSTITUTION's customized EHR system? It seems crazy to make people who are qualified to actually diagnose and treat patients spend half their time on clerical work using cumbersome software.

Maybe people are worried that EHR quality would suffer if people with fewer credentials entered the data. According to the article EHR systems are already full of garbage data entered by physicians. Does it actually get worse if data entry specialists do the entry instead? This appears to be readily testable. You can have them do it in parallel with the physicians who enter their own EHR data now, and compare after a year.

Two things

1. When mentioning a word you've heard in the hope that people think you have some clue what you're talking about you need to stay up to date. Rainbow Tables were 2008, this is 2018, try "Blockchain" instead.

2. No. Rainbow Tables are an improved time-space tradeoff. For situations where a time-space tradeoff is almost good enough, Rainbow Tables can take you over the line. Where you aren't even close (as is the case for Signal), it doesn't matter.

For the obsolete LM Hash a straight time-space attack needs maybe 50TB of disk to break it with 100% accuracy, which back in 2003 would have been really expensive. Rainbow Tables often shrank this to about 30GB, with < 1% penalty to recall and a modest additional time penalty, so it was made much cheaper.

With a Signal ratchet you need a lot more space. Imagine all the disk space that exists in the world today. OK, now imagine that this space doubles every year somehow, and that keeps happening for the next 100 years, and you have all that disk space for your project of breaking a Signal connection. You are still nowhere close, even with some very generously estimated Rainbow Tables.

It's interesting how you can almost completely forget about something that or someone who used to be such an important part of your life, and yet it doesn't take much for you to suddenly remember all about it/them.

"So we don't believe that life is beautiful because we don't recall it
but if we get a whiff of a long-forgotten smell we are suddenly intoxicated and similarly we think we no longer love the dead because we don't remember them but if by chance we come across an old glove we burst into tears."

What does it mean to understand? Ultimately, to have a model that lets you predict further behaviour of / interaction with some phenomenon. That's what physics gives you. Do the models map 1:1 to some "True Reality"? Who cares? That's not even a meaningful question. We have no other way of understanding "True Reality", but through models that give verifiable predictions.

The history of sunglasses
The situation discussed in the article was with regard to Stingray-type devices placed at foreign embassies which are considered foreign soil. The FCC doesn't regulate embassies any more than it regulates Beijing or Moscow.

The Stingrays found on K Street (far from Embassy Row) and some bridges were more likely US government operations.

So the question comes back to are there non-embassy, non-US government Stingrays deployed and how to find them.

Valve can state 2 + 2 = 5 tomorrow, that doesn't make it true.

They already have geoblocks in place for several reasons ranging from their own whim, to copyright to legal reasons. I can't buy certain animes[0] and I couldn't buy Skyrim for few years (my country's physical box retailer got exclusive deal), you couldn't get Hotline Miami 2 in Australia (their censor banned it), you are forced to use your own currency (or the next best thing like dollar or euro, but there is no free choice) when buying games.

They also banned Hatred back in the day for violating their ToS, until they said it didn't actually violate it (because there was a shitstorm over it). And vague ToS that anyone can break or not break are a staple in online businesses by now.

They also have no problem selling Witcher or Mass Effect games that have way more sexual content that is way more realistic and detailed. In just Witcher 1 you have like 30 sex cards, several topless women, topless bloodied vampire girls, prostitutes, very crude references to sex, straight up softcore porn scenes with full animation, but like 10 naked anime girls in Hunie Pop is too far and a big legal problem for them?

They also had no problem breaking customer protection regulations, sniffing your DNS cache and iterating what processes you have running to find cheats, fighting in Australian court over lack of return policies, taking 0 responsibility for anything they sell for years (Skyrim paid mods, Greenlight trash, asset flips, scams and stolen games, etc.) but now hosting a couple games with anime boobs is a big no-no that opens them up to big legal problems.

All this content was also explicitly stated to not be any problem until now up to reassuring developers themselves about their specific games, do Valve and Steam operate their multi-billion global businesses in a "shoot first, ask if it's legal later" way?

All this is is just deciding to not bother with "weaboo shit" (as many people consider anything in anime style) on Steam Direct anymore for whatever reason (money, image?) and knowing they can do that without backlash because it's niche enough. There is no legal (unless countries now specifically ban static naked images of anime girls but allow 3D softcore mocap scenes of realistic models) or technical reason they couldn't make it work.

I think it's that Americans distrust elites who purport to make decisions on their behalf. American are not objectivist hyperindividualists, they are social creatures that thrive on the narrative of the greater good (the superhero movie is a rather American genre). But American history is littered with questionable judgements of the elites - tuskeegee syphilis experiments, internment of Japanese Americans, various middle East interventions, bailouts post 2008 crash, Vietnam war... Etc.

The American "way" traditionally is that social justice is an individual responsibility. You can see this residually in traditional volunteer fire departments and social clubs like knights and rotary which used to be mutual benefit clubs, providing for members in the event of sickness etc.
