In addition to Dafny (https://github.com/Microsoft/dafny) and Whiley (http://whiley.org/), check out Frama-C (https://frama-c.com/) for C and SPARK (http://www.spark-2014.org/) for Ada.

Both are mature enough to be in use, but are limited primarily by the fact that both languages have manual memory management, which is well understood via separation logic, but poorly supported by the tools.

I've written some blog posts about Frama-C:

Well, it's not just the added weight of windows, but, I imagine, additional reinforcements for the structure that are needed when you have windows? (IANAPE - I'm not a plane expert :) )

Some of this I expect could be built with the HN API, though I don't think favourites are part of it.
He's joking. As of now, the police haven't reported which cryptocurrency was seized or how much. The police have only stated that "$350,000 worth of cryptocurrency" was seized.
There's a good article I can't find that shows that the things you need are the things that have risen in cost the most while the things you want have risen the least. Hence, the inflation rating actually tracks only the homes you want a d is becoming disconnected from actual costs of living.
To put it less crypticly, the AOSP maintainer left because AOSP was capable of running on exactly zero android devices, including Google's own flagship devices.
If you google for the title and click through, the WSJ will let you read the article.

But frankly, it's not worth it.

TLDR: Climate change is past its peak as a cause because it's being co-mingled with other social justice concerns and because of concern fatigue.
Wouldn't it be likely that the greater than percentage of free CO2, the cheaper removing CO2 will get per ton? Trump's intransigence could make this technology viable.
I don't think Tcl is in competition with Python or Perl. It is in competition with bash, PowerShell, etc. Its syntax is quicker to type which is good for interactive (REPL) use.

Sometimes I'm thinking about a simple build system which is very much like Make but uses Tcl to be cross-platform and scales better to advanced uses.

Tcl could also work well in Jupyter notebooks.

Once you think about functions, classes, and modules, you better use Python.

I was replying to "Why does Apple have to make everything proprietary? It's kinda annoying."

And related to sockets, yeah when those OSes do provide some kind of POSIX like compatibility, and even then some advanced configurations are only possible via the OS specific APIs.
> What does violence have to do with any of this, unless some of the noise-related altercations are getting out of hand?

I think this guy is one of those hyper-libertarians who equates government regulation with violence.
This is just nonsense. A display is merely a projection. you don't have any sense of depth, you can't shift the point of view, you don't have the dynamic range or resolution of the human eye. The only way it could be better if by giving you a point of view you can't normally have like directly in front or below the plane.
We need to take time to think things through, use critical thinking, decide for yourself, see behind the motivations and incentives. Never drink the kool-aid, but you can taste it and decide for yourself. Consider all stakeholders (not only investors and owners) and the impact on society. Us in tech are the ones that are implementing the vision, we are responsible too.

Would not go to extremes and say everybody is a shill, since there has been serious innovation but we should be transparent of what is the cost of all that innovation. Just be honest with oneself (e.g. I'm working with this new fancy decentralized database instead of just buzzwording your way to success by blockchaining everything, etc). We need to drop the ego and work on what we love.
Accelerated Computing Powering World’s Fastest Supercomputer
Your selective whitelisting of the Tor Browser has made things worse in some respects.

Formerly, under the old regime, one could complete the CAPTCHA challenge for a blocked domain and as long as one's user-agent included the returned RECAPTCHA cookie with each request, it would pass through unmolested.

Presently, however, it is not uncommon for circumstances to arise where issuing a straightforward GET request elicits no CAPTCHA (excellent!) but certain requests, such as XHR POSTs, particularly against a third-party CF-gated domain, are blocked, with no CAPTCHA being displayed (because the reply is not rendered), and no way to easily solicit a CAPTCHA for that domain.

This completely breaks many web sites.

One can work around this by manually rendering the returned POST data and completing the CAPTCHA, or simply using a browser which is not whitelisted, but few people are savvy and patient enough to do this, producing a very small anonymity pool and negating to a large degree many of the benefits of using the Tor Browser.

Are you aware of this issue? Any plans to address it?
Your comment seems pretty accurate to me, and developers are especially relevant since they are forced to use OsX if they want to do anything for the other parts of the apple ecosystem. Parts that are apparently important enough to ignore desktop will begin to suffer from less 3rd party developers and more hostile cross platform developers..

The intern who has to make it work in Windows store then having to find and try to boot the iMac to sign the iPhone binaries is the fast death of desktop and the slow death of Apple's profit centers.
Maybe about five years ago I was on a flight where not only were there ads on a few of the overhead luggage bins, the stewards handed out little flyers to each passenger.

I can't remember which airline it was, though. I don't fly discount very often, so it's hard to pinpoint. It would have to have been American, United, or maybe JetBlue. I sleep as much as possible, even on short flights, so few are memorable.
Anything we do is going to be expensive. "Stopping all use of fossil fuels" like you suggest would also be very expensive, even if we ignore obvious costs like disposing of all the corpses created by such an endeavor.

All that require manually keeping track of pointers, structure and buffer sizes.
Continuing the beer theme of my sidethread comment, I read a piece years ago making the point that the then-current explosion of microbreweries looked like a productivity disaster -- microbreweries produce a gallon of beer for a much higher cost than Anheuser-Busch does, so when an economist working with national-level data divides "beer produced in 2011" by "dollars spent producing beer in 2011", it looks like beer productivity has cratered compared to the golden age of the 1950s.

In reality, of course, a can of Budweiser is cheaper than ever (productivity is up) while the populace has become so rich that it's voluntarily spending extra money on what it perceives as higher-quality beer. But there is no conceptual place for this in "beer" productivity statistics.
Every patent application needs to have a title, but the title just needs to be short, accurate and descriptive. MPEP 606.[0]

Validity (subject matter eligibility, novelty, non-obviousness, etc.) is a separate question.

I think I would even go so far as to say that a faulty title could never invalidate a patent claim.

Apple Isn't Your Friend
Good question! Some things a chatbot excels at:

Finding information quickly: no menus, no clicking around, no more searching.

Customer facing chatbots are one alternative, but many of our clients also have internal chatbots for either HR stuff, or for finding internal information. One good example we see is onboarding new employees who benefit from a chatbot as they ask a lot of questions. Also they are not afraid of asking too many questions as they no longer fear that they are nagging nor asking "dumb questions".

Automating processes: for example filling out the insurance form. Or filling out tax returns. Placing an order, getting status of an order. There are also a lot of HR tasks that gets automated. How many days of vacation there is left, business travel, arranging meetings, company benefits and so on.

Think about it this way, a chatbot is a very advanced full text search engine that excels at filtering out most of the noise. That is also why they have another name, virtual assistants.
The law isn't selectively enforced, the patents are selectively enforced at the discretion of the patent holder.

Patents are broken as hell, but being able to file defensive patents isn't the problem -- it's a symptom.

Personally don't think there should be software patents.
When I was freelancing, most of my projects were about 2-3 weeks in length. I had to find new work while trying to complete work. Difficult clients did not help that situation at all, nor intense deadlines. So truthfully, too much time would lapse between gigs, and running the numbers showed me that freelancing was earning around minimum wage, but I was working many more hours.

My best situation was when I had a client that was acting as a project manager and would feed me lots of work when I needed it.
There also seems to be this weird stigma about admitting that you have ever contemplated suicide. People seem to take that as some sort of signal that you are completely unhinged.

Maybe I'm a nutcase, but I've taken the time to prepare a set of scenarios under which I would no longer want to live, and think about what would need to be taken care of to exit the world without undue burden on those that depend on me. That seems like an eminently rational thing to do.

I am not a mathematician or I would be able to do this better. Basically you can buy calls and puts to simplify it. This way a shift upwards/downwards will cause your options to shift inversely. You end up being liquid in that event and can continue to switch your position to the short side or long side.

I however only buy options based on my sentiment of the market, bear or bull. Currently it's a bull market, S&P going to $300.

Edit: Fixed buy calls and puts.
Several of the companies on that list are foreign, including #3 and #1.
I know a few cops, and they tell me that they don't worry about small amounts of weed (even though it's not legal here) because the local prosecutor doesn't want to bother with those cases. He has bigger fish to fry.

It's not that way everywhere, but many cops are going to look at the big picture and try to do what's "right" rather than be anal about arresting people for minor transgressions.
This is very important. One of the first steps of recovery is refusing to identify with depressive thoughts.

I'd guess everyone is different. A pastry chef might see every tasty creation as a new opportunity to bring joy & happiness into the world. For me, cooking is a chore, and every pastry I have to make after the first is no longer something new.

This isn't a news story, it's a profile piece describing the mood and state of an industry. There's no one central focus, it's more meant to express a mood and variety of small developments rather than one big development.
The train has window. In my experience tunnels are always lit a little bit and you can see the wall passing by. Also it's rare to stay in a tunnel for more than a few minutes.
After hearing the news, I found out he's actually been in a wheelchair since college, when he broke his neck in a swimming pool, and he doesn't have much use of his arms. His story is pretty courageous from that stand point.
Expensive health care is worst for older people (until you hit 65 and qualify for single payer)

Expensive education is worst for younger people, unless you are an older person who wants to pay for your children's education.

Expensive housing is (mostly) good for the old and bad for the young. If an oldster got settled in Palo Alto back in the 8-bit era, they've paid low taxes since they've never sold their house and will take a stupendous capital gain.
Chatbots are the next big thing. The reason they didn't take over is because NLP and AI sucks (and "sucks" is putting it very lightly). Current AI is stuck in a rut, and they don't even realize it. True innovation in AI will come, and surprise everyone, and like all innovations before, it will come from cutting edge scientific research.
I'm old enough to remember the POSIX meetings (I was sitting a few feet away from one of the conference rooms while the executives were meeting - and had some input into the spec.) One of the goals was to figure out what functionality was stable and mature - and that would be part of the standard. In contrast, some functionality was expected to evolve and become a differentiator between vendors. Those functions, even if we had an existing implementation, would not be part of the spec. We could really use an equivalent standard right now - it has become too hard to practice our skills. (Also reminds me about when I decided to learn UNIX and C - I was tired of being in the "assembly language of the week" club. Relearning and reimplementing gets old.)

No, see... humans won't be doing any more problem solving when we have AGI. We'll just kick it and drink Mai Tais on the beach while they do all the work.
Or people generally don't choose gig work as a first choice, and tightening unemployment has allowed them to get closer to their preferences.
I switched to White Mountain (from Fage) based on that thread. So delicious. Especially with homemade granola and a dollop of honey. Thank you HN.
I recommend having a frontend like SourceTree for git - it uses bare git underneath so the end result and even the state in your working copy will be just the same, but you'll have better picture of what is happening. As the working copy changes in identical way to the use of the command line git, it neatly works as a scaffolding for your learning. You can use the command line client for the stuff you are comfortable with and then resort to the GUI when you get into trouble. This way you can shortcut your learning, provided that you want to learn to use the command line git. Nothing wrong with staying with the GUI forever though.

JAL had it, too, on ORD-NRT. A member of the crew would switch to different cameras, presumably based on what there was to see (front landing gear view during takeoff, just clouds straight down during most of the flight, etc...). I haven't flown JAL in close to a decade, so I can't say if its planes still have this.
Really would have loved if these were animated gifs, even if just 3-5 second loops. It can be hard to parse what you’re even looking at without seeing it move.
What kind of cores do machines of this caliber use?

I seem to recall that some years ago they used some Xeons and other "consumer-level" processors, just with special interconnects and maybe even using special versions, but they seemed like pretty close cousins to the regular processors of a desktop.

Is this still the case? I see in the Top500 list that the Sunway TaihuLight uses the Sunway SW26010 260C processors.

Are they fundamentally different than consumer-level processors? any special architectures or other interesting parts? or are they pretty similar, just built for massive interconnection and such?
Yeah, I could see how finally getting their GUI system more or less working a decade after everyone else could be seen as cool. And yes, keeping the corporate drone market away from a technically better product, also cool.
Don't know if it's just a typo or an actual malapropism, but it's called a Venn diagram.
This seems like an overly reactionary take. There's a lot of noise in any given hype cycle, distinguishing between unusual preferences people happen to have and manufactured interest isn't always easy.

I know a couple of claustrophobic people. It "doesn't matter" because they wouldn't be caught dead in such a location. If it's OK not to have these people on planes (and maybe when everything is accounted it is OK), you're right.
I look at it like my brain is lying to me. "Hey, you want to die" ... "No I don't brain, you're full of shit."

Is a victim of suicide suffering from depression by definition?

If not, why would one immediately assume Bourdain was depressed?
Well if that's the only issue, that would be obviously easy to solve.

More clearly: I don't think you should make an app like this illegal. The burden should be on the property owners, not on AirBnB. Or why not?

What other problems exist?

In some supreme court cases, justices have argued 'while I do not agree that this should be legal, it should be up to the states to legislate, not the federal government.'

The two major advantages I see for local legislation is 1) more-representative and more-direct democracy, and 2) value in allowing experimentation and competition of policy legislation...

I'm not so much making this up as I go, but these kinds of ideas are things I've read in American political history, and when I thought about it, decided I agreed with. Here, it seems to me like an obvious candidate for such line of thought... But I could be wrong, maybe you can convince me otherwise?
Could you share your actual dot files and literate org file examples? It's sounds overwhelming but some examples of org files that are more complicated might be interesting.

Also you have some dead links, like the fsem link on your post, which links to http://doc.rix.si/cce/fsem.html.

On http://doc.rix.si/projects/fsem.html#orgheadline2, you point to cce.org and cce.html, both are dead links.
I have spent the last 2-3 years educating auditors and after quite some effort, they have learned to appreciate git. To the point where they are now starting to ask some of their other clients why _they_ are not doing something similar.

Auditors LOVE immutability. To be fair, git doesn't provide that, but it provides the next-best alternative: tamper detection. If anyone rewrites history, git will show that. The gitrefs between two points in time will not match if anyone has modified data or commits in the meantime. The auditors also have no problem looking at previous years' documents where they have recorded the relevant gitrefs at the time.

This has gone so far that this year's policy review was a breeze. Our compliance documentation is maintained in a git repo, with all documents as markdown files. The final documents are simply compiled PDF and HTML artifacts.

In 2016, the auditors asked if we can provide snapshots of previous policy versions. In 2017, they already understood that we have everything in git, and knew to ask for clarifications as to when a particular change was done and who had signed it off. This year our auditors literally asked for the latest compliance documentation bundle from CI, all the individual commits, and the overall diff over the year.

Wall time spent for policy review: ~20 minutes.
That's only true if the proposed process converts atmospheric CO2 back into an energetically dense form. This design stores it as calcium carbonate, which is nowhere near as energetic. They're not undoing the burning process to get hydrocarbons again, they're just collecting it.
And yet, secretaries have been replaced by e-mail and calendars, human computers have been replaced by Excel, and armies of bean-counters have been replaced by business CMS systems that cost one fifth as much to maintain. People who used to do those jobs are now making lattes and avocado toast.
I think the best talk I had from a therapist in the early aughts went, "In general, the only things we know that help with depression are: exercise, some sunlight, a little social interaction, and self-care; bathing, brushing your teeth, etc. Medicine can help some but results are inconsistent, talk therapy is rarely helpful."

He spent two years just keeping me accountable on the little day to day things and while it didn't immediately cure my depression my quality of increased dramatically. The idea that something like keeping my room tidy would help with my depression sounded absolutely god damn insane at the time, "I want existence to end and you're telling me to make my bed?" ..but somehow those hundred small things mattered, life's pretty good these days.

God damn brains are dumb.
It would be illegal for Boeing to funnel money for military contracts to the civil aviation side. In fact, BCAC (Boeing Commercial Airplane Company) and BMAC (Boeing Military Airplane Company) are separate accounting entities for this reason.

If there's a belief that BCAC is actually a money-losing operation propped up by money funneled from BMAC, there needs to be some strong evidence for this. BCAC is massively profitable.
This was true to my experience. The anti-depressants were successful in numbing the pain and they arguably did their job (they kept me going in the absence of the support I really needed). The several years of psychotherapy and development of some very warm and loving friendships that then followed has allowed much deeper change to happen.

The importance of connection and trust, at least from my experience, cannot be stressed enough.
Do you have any links to such discussions?

I would have thought it would be a clear cut no.

Also 50% price increase for no ads and tracking is mind boggling, scum of the earth.
