Maybe that's enough of a use case for an established following that supports a long-term 'market' for cryptocoins. Maybe the ideal (or something closer to ideal) would be that people in too-strong States got to use it; but there are enough people in too-weak States with dreams of authoritarianism

If someone needs a simple and clear example of "corrupted by power", just read the excerpt below.

In a Jan. 28, 2008, letter to university president Robert Shelton, local Border Patrol union president Ed Tuffly stated, “We will be aggressively pursuing action against Mr. Bressi and/or the University on behalf of our agents for the internet postings which Bressi has undertaken using video obtained while he was acting as a University employee. If it is determined that the [Arizona] law does not apply to Federal law enforcement officers, we will lobby for an amendment to the State law to ensure that we are protected.”
As all wealth that can be created comes from work, and as the heirs who mostly make up the 0.1% do not work, it follows that the wealth comes from those below.

Actually the article has a fairly conservative vantage. As the pie is not what is significant. The wealth and money and pie have little significance. What matters is the expropriation of surplus labor time, by the heir, from the one who works. It is a social relationship, expropriating the worker's time. The pie, the wealth, the product is not what has significance here.

> Person saying "everything in moderation" does not imply jumping into volcanos done in moderation is harmless.

In which case, the word “everything” is entirely the wrong word, is it not? I think we can agree that “many things” would be a substantially better fit here.

Again, I feel you’re missing the point. It’s not about the semantics of the statement; it’s about porn viewing. Again, it’s unclear whether porn viewing in moderation is “fine”, by some variable definition of “fine”, which is why his first statement is problematic. It’s not because of any particular word or any particular other comparison you or I may contrive.
The Blog Cartoons – Episode 2
That's an interesting hypothesis. I listen to audiobooks at 2 or 3 times speed, depending on the clarity of the readers voice. When I first heard the "green needle" vs. "brainstorm" audio, I heard "brainstorm" once but then the pitch of the audio seem to shift up and I could only hear "green needle" after that. The change in audio quality was similar to what I've experienced when listening to a book at 1X speed and then shifting it up to 2X or 3X. I haven't been able to reproduce this though. Now the recording always sounds like "green needle" to me.

That changed drops my BMI two points, and as a tall person, really seems more in line with where I'm at weight wise. The goal for a normal weight is actually realistic and attainable. I've noticed that tall people only seem to be within the normal BMI range if they are the slender sort - if you look a more normally proportioned tall person you're automatically overweight, and very little extra weight put you in the obese category.

I don't disagree with this at all -- but the value there has very little to do with the tool, Slack. An IRC channel is at least as functional.

It's been years since I used Stack Overflow chat, but I always felt if it had been a bit better, it would have been the tool for groups like this. A missed opportunity, given that Stack Exchange is committed to making all of the information on their sites freely available forever, and Slack definitely is not.

I see this piece less as an identification of the 9.9% as being "the problem" so much as it is a call to get people who are doing well to acknowledge that we exist in a vortex of generational success that is rather exclusive of most of the country.
Since the "border" extends 100 miles inland, covers the majority of large cities and 2/3 of the US population, I don't think this is a clean solution. It only seems that way when you aren't personally affected.

> Lack of google visibility. Lots of good discussions will benefit the asker and a few people in the slack but no one in the future, searching for the same information.

It's true, but there is also a lot of information that is no more relevant, yet comes first in search. With IRC or Slack, you may lose some of the benefits of archived discussion but you get fresh information .

Plus, most of the conversation on these channels is chat. By nature, it is ephemeral and should stay that way.

Pythran: Crossing the Python Frontier to Handle Unmodified Python Code
If anyone is looking for a business idea, if you could hack these things to be a remote control so that dance teachers can use it to pause/play and skip-to-next on the cheap and without having to run to their phone, that would sell like hotcakes. Typical scenario now is: teacher plugs phone into amp, then needs to run up and down to phone every 5 minutes. Having a bluetooth connection so that the bracelet can work as a play/skip remote for the phone would be enough. Range might be an issue, needs to be 30 meters (reliably) or so.

> Speculative ad hominem aside

I can only judge you by what you say here. Obviously I don't know you, but what other choice do I have? In my experience, those who rely on their tools to do everything for them are useless when things go sideways.

> the point in this case was to learn to write code so that good compilers can output performant SIMD-heavy code

No, the point is that comments like yours serve little purpose. No one is suggesting that you should roll your own lib for matrix math in every situation. However, if you _understand_ what happens behind the scenes you write better code and can more easily diagnose performance issues.

The problem with "don't worry about it" type responses is that sometimes you _do_ end up having to worry about it, and now you're not equipped to solve the problem. Hell, you may not even know that there is a problem to begin with because you have no idea what the runtime characteristics of your algorithm _should_ be.

Maybe you'll have to write some code like this someday. How would you know if your algorithm is performing well? Perhaps you think your 10 hour run is totally acceptible... until someone who read this article and has some experience comes by. They laugh at the absurd performance and spend a bit of time making it 60% faster _because they know how this stuff works_.

There's a lot of value in learning how things work, and "premature optimization" responses like you see all over SO are worthless.
That could though, also be said about the existing human based media, which isn't exactly robust against noise or false news either.
Looks great, nice work, keep it up! One small improvement in my opinion would be to make the columns sortable- especially the 1hr attack cost.

The default color of TCL/Tk 3.6 and earlier used to be "Bisque", or #FFE4C4.

"Bisque is a smooth, creamy, highly seasoned soup of French origin, classically based on a strained broth (coulis) of crustaceans. It can be made from lobster, langoustine, crab, shrimp or crayfish."

>"X11 bisque - also known as 'Ousterhout beige' - was for a long time the default color of Tk GUI's."

https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TkCmd/palette.htm

>The procedure tk_bisque is provided for backward compatibility: it restores the application's colors to the light brown (“bisque”) color scheme used in Tk 3.6 and earlier versions.

TCL/Tk even provides a convenient built-in procedure "tk_bisque" to reset the application's color to the Bisque color scheme, which was documented with this warning:

https://nikit.tcl-lang.org/page/tk_bisque

>You probably don't want to use this command in a modern application. Or anything written in the last couple of decades.

You should NEVER ship a TCL/Tk application without changing the default color from Bisque. But apparently some people thought it was quite beautiful!

Ask HN: Should I sign my new job contract prior to my interview trip refund?
So I did a trip to another country for taking an interview. Prior booking my tickets the company (which has around 500 employees) promised that they would pay for my trip. I did well in the interview and they offered me the position. At the end of the interview they gave me a paper, that I had to fill out with my IBAN and my total traveling costs. This happened 12 days ago and I until now I got no news regarding that matter. In the meantime they sent me my work contract.

I have no prior experience on how these situations are handled and how much time a refund would on average need. My biggest concern is that in case they don't refund my traveling costs they would not have kept their word. In turn signing a contract with a company that does not keep its word seems like a red flag for future issues.

How should I handle the situation? Should I wait until they completed the refund and not sign the contract? Should I ask them? Should I be open with them regarding my concern?
I suppose your point is that no one can hope for better working conditions as long as bricklayers exist?
Yeah? I don't. And it doesn't seem like a great name in code. Link me to some examples?
This is very interesting - I was wondering about this too. Assumed it was too high to be reasonable but guess I'm wrong. The question is: what's the cost vs acquiring the same qty of $ by being a good citizen. I suppose first you need to have a lot of crypto to double spend it.
Maybe the best would be to work 3 hours in the morning, go surfing or skiing or whatever, and then work 3 more hours. The productivity would at least be the same and happiness would be higher.
Like you, I have developed quite a lot of WPPF apps and still do (my day job!). I completely agree with all the points you made. Especially the point on composite control handling it's own wait indicator is spot on.

However, I believe @m_fayer is right too. The performance issue can creep up on you if you are not constantly watching it.

The weak-reference used by DelegateCommand in most WPF framework implementations - Prism, MVVMLight, Caliburn.Micro can cause extra headaches if one is not watching it. I have seen memory clogs with InputBindings; I have seen unexplaiined performance issues with ColumnSpan, RowSpan usages, and others issues I can't remember at the moment.

Buttom line is one needs to take C/C++ mindset to WPF to achieve optimal performance - that is you may have to have a strategy to clean up after yourself (just like pointers) and not rely too much on Garbage Collector (GC).
ya just commented the same thing - the question is about incentive I think.
I did some back of the napkin math for a few coins, and this reduced the cost Ip-90% in some cases. I couldn't find a consistent place to get this data from for all coins, but I may manually go through and add it, since it can reduce the cost substantially as you noted.
I'm convinced that outwards is the most effective in this scenario:

Open your bedroom windows on a cool spring/summer night. On the opposite end of the house, put a fan in a window blowing outwards. This cools the entire house, giving your bedroom the freshest air. In the morning, close all the windows. This leaves the house cooled and drastically reduces your A/C usage.

Blowing inward doesn't have the same effect of pulling air through the whole house.
But the fact that nobody was working on it is also part of the same discussion: non-centralized services haven't had clear ways to incentive the time investment to develop them. The community and respect of working on open source has worked well enough for some developers to create and keep these projects sputtering along, but it never worked for the designers and product vision folks. One of the promises of blockchain-based decentralized projects is that they may be able to incentive their contributors by cutting them in on the potential success of the project. It remains to be seen whether that's workable, but it's an interesting idea.
> Judging from the additional stars on GitHub, and projects that just migrated (pytest!), I'd say there's a very vocal minority which is very attached to single quotes.

Accuse me of selection bias. Immediately use even more biased selection bias.
This is a big debate in the HN world too, where tech workers in that top 10% think they are working class. The real breakdown here is that in todays day and age, there's hardly a middle class, there's the working class who struggles, lives basically paycheck to paycheck, and at the age of 45 has up to 40k in wealth to their name. Then there's that top 10% whose able to afford a million dollar home, take yearly vacations, send their kids to college, ect.

The things the upper middle class think should be a given to them because they are within a certain economic strata are actually just regular luxuries.

One of those times when one should stick with one's initial thought.

Everyone should have to work a retail job to get a sense of what a broad selection of the public is like. Everyone (who is physically able) should have to work in manual labor to get a sense of what hard work is like. Say, 6 months of each. You’d probably get a lot less whining, and people might not be such pricks to cashiers. Ideally a third period would be spent as a nurse or EMT, but that would be prohibitive in terms of training and break too many people.
Awesome! I love SPL-T. I've found the best way to move forward is keeping a quarter free and focusing on minimizing the rest of the board. I usually lose when I misplace a horizontal split and end up creating manying vertical spits.
Because of all the other things they have to “make an hour” for. Pick up kids, make supper, meh, I don’t to make a whole list, use your imagination. Personally, yes, that hour with a musical instrument in my hands is sacred, and dogs need walked for an hour whether I want to or not. But I’m not most people.

You're conflating two unrelated issues. The visible plastic garbage scattered around European streets, parks and beaches isn't coming from rivers in Asia, it's garbage that's locally thrown away.

Reducing the total amount of plastics disposed into the oceans is a worthy but orthogonal goal, by the time it makes it to European shores it's mostly pulverized by ocean activity.

The EU also stands to impact world production by its choices. A factory in Asia that's making plastic cups now for the domestic market and for exports might switch entirely to making paper cups if the EU only buys paper cups.

The subjective experience of enjoying art
I recently saw somewhere that placebo effect is not really a thing and is very overestimated. Sorry, have no source at hand.
Nice work. Its really important to consider this for those buying/holding crypto currency. Consider all coins using the same function to be the same family and the one with the most work and power to be the most valid. So there are sha256 coins, scrypt coins, equihash coins, etc. In the case of sha256 the most immune to attack is bitcoin. Everything else is massively vulnerable. In the case of scrypt, it’s litecoin. Everything else you should not hold because it can be swamped by the hashing power mining litecoin atm. So on.

This is a little different from how people have been told to think about it before which is just focusing on the blockchain itself rather than the mining power behind any given variation/fork/whatever of block chain.

Ps. And that probably should be taken a step further. If you have families of coins that are all GPU mined, then you need to consider the tota GPUs mining them and the hashing power of those GPUs and the ability for them to switch functions. Now GPUs are a blip on ASICs so for the predominantly asic mined coins this doesn’t matter.
Did you see the Vue CLI v3 yet? It's an even nicer experience because it manages your entire stack for you so you can focus on developing!
