The boys were extremely weak and unhealthy. The trek was demanding and risky for experienced, healthy and prepared divers; there was a lot of doubt as to whether the boys would be able to make such an arduous journey.
> This issue would also appear if we forced stream transducers (processing nodes) to output a fixed number of value at each invocation: it suffices to let S repeat each value of X twice, i.e., interleave X with X.

I don't understand how the issue would appear in that case.
Buffering one value seems to be sufficient to upsample S to the "clock" of X, ie. project S to the instants where X is defined (flow Z below) while filling missing instants with the previously known value:

X : X0 X1 X2 X3 ...
S : S0 S1

Z : S0 S0 S1 S1

That would look as follows in Signal:

process test = (? integer x ! integer y)
(| c := not (c$ init false)
| s := (x when c) cell c
| y := x + s
|)
where
boolean c;
integer s;
end;

C is the clock which alternates between false and true ($ refers to the last value), "X when C" is filtering, "E cell C" is projection of values of E to the instant of C, defaulting to the previous known value at logical instants where E is not present but C is true.

The clock calculus in Signal (etc.) is way to assess if a program can be generated to use constant (static) memory allocation and constant time. There are programs which fail to do so, but you then need to refine them to add explicit operations (https://www.irisa.fr/prive/talpin/papers/date08.pdf)
4 is being actively avoided. And combines with other numbers, like 14(to die), 174(going to die) make it a very ominous number indeed.
Are you an expert on cave diving and rescue or where does this analysis on what is obvious and what isn't comes from?
> SF salaries are certainly high. Are they 2.5x higher? Even if they are 2.5x higher, do you really feel good? I guess a part of me feels like life should be easier and more comfortable. I'm not looking for fancy shirts and yearly expensive laptops. I'm looking for the comfort of knowing that if something goes medically wrong, my cost of living isn't so high that I'm very quickly on the bubble. I'm looking for the ability to be able to choose different life priorities in my future if I desire. We all make our own decisions, but I think there's something intangible that lower cost of living provides.

Yes, yes they are. Sure, the economic boom has contributed to the skyrocketing value of equity compensation leading to some pretty insane incomes. But it is what it is... for now at least.

>Can't famous people even help kids stuck in a cave without someone criticizing them for it?

Yes, easily:

1. Don't press release (or tweet); treat what you are doing with confidentiality.

2. Actually help in a way that's helpful.

Here's a good example http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/01/15/george-michael-secretly...
Windows S is now just a "mode", can easily switch to Windows 10 Home instead
There is a bit of connecting transitions missing, but basically I understand it thus:

He was using a slower buffer serialisation library (for reasons unexplained), and when challenged set out to prove his choice was the fastest, but pretty soon found out he was wrong. Then he wanted to do the test himself, and along the way he discovered how his processor made benchmarking very noisy in turbo mode.
Overheard at a popular stop for bikers near me: "Yeah, I could have gotten the model above it which is 500g lighter, but it would have cost me another $3500."

It should be noted that the guy who said it could have easily lost 500g by a minuscule adjustment to his daily snack intake...

It looks like the author made the transition from gamedev to working at Google on Dart language team, so it seems that his writing and side projects worked well for him.
There's been a lot of consolidation in the HFT sector recently [1]. Back in 2008, when HFT was hot and new, a lot of money was made. But lower post crisis volatility and multiple HFT firms chasing the same opportunities has compressed margins. The party is over...

Notice that while the linked page says "You can read the whole book, for free, online", chapters 18 to 30 haven't been written yet (e.g: http://craftinginterpreters.com/types-of-values.html).
Absolutely agree. Bikes in left turn lanes are hugely dangerous. They should go straight across, stop at the corner and then turn to go straight the other direction, when the light turns green.

I know some people get annoyed that it's slightly slower, but you avoid some seriously dangerous situations.
Why Envy Might Be Good for Us
I kind of agree with (1) but (2) in this case is just 'built something to meet the requirements but everything had moved on by time of delivery' which I think is something all of us engineers here have experience of.
If it were just a matter of buying ready-made TV, anybody could do it.

Showrunners come to them with raw ideas and the first step is to filter out most of the bad ones. Then there's writing, casting, budgeting, filming, editing, marketing...you make it sound like HBO is a bunch of cardboard cutouts and they just order up completed shows from Amazon.

My point is AT&T has done practically zero creative or truly innovative in the last 20-25 years, it's comical to listen to a career AT&T suit lecture HBO staffers (who excel in a field far more difficult than his) about how they need to work harder.
They write in the text that their model featured nonlinear transformations. I think the picture shows a simplified view and as the plots don't have labels it's not clear which space is regarded.
> ICANN can't do the sensible thing and just discontinue whois

Note that this is not about discontinuing WHOIS, but discontinuing the collection of the "technical contact" and "administrative contact".

The domain owner's data are still collected, and this collection is still being carried out by the registrar without dispute (page 3, last sentence).

The argument is that if ICANN needs to contact someone with regards to a specific domain, contacting the domain owner should be sufficient, so ICANN's argument that they "need" the Tech-C and Admin-C aren't valid.

The court agreed with that, but note that at this point, this is only about a preliminary injunction.
Since Microsoft are more into Linux these days, might we see a consumer device running something other than Windows, or is that still too wacky? I'd be interested in this if it had vaguely decent support for Ubuntu (or whatever), up to the same standard as Dell's project Sputnik effort. If they truly have shifted their focus to Office/Cloud stuff then surely this starts to become more likely. Or just my wishful thinking.
It's obvious from the pictures of the submarine. When the press reports state that the cave is so narrow in places that you need to take off the scuba to get through, obviously the submarine that has a bigger diameter than a diver with a scuba won't pass.
Oh, that's me then :) I didn't put two and two together because I knew him as just beagle, and it was a long time ago that I hung out with him. We played together in a gaming community known as ShackTac or ShackTactical, playing a game called Armed Assault/ArmA.

Way back when a bunch of us put our names into a custom name file for XCOM so people could make campaigns featuring ShackTac people instead of generic dudes. I completely forgot about that until you reminded me. It must be five years since I talked to him :)
There is no significant drop for 40 where 34 and 44 both do have these. Is this because 40 is pronounced differently and doesn't have the connotation?
Elon Musk could have given money to the experts on the ground who were actually in the situation and knew what was needed.

Instead, he wrongly assumed he knew better.
A little common sense here. He’s trying to develop a de novo hardware solution in short time. If you wanted to help, you’d buy/rent top of the line drysuits with helmets, send those through with instructors and be done with it. You probably wouldn’t decide to start on hardware development.

You helped me realise I talk to my cousins the way I talk to my parrot. It's an amusing thought :)
> It was quite obvious nothing of the size of that submarine could fit in that narrow portion of the cave.

What? How did you come to this conclusion? They deliberately designed it to be 31cm so that it would fit through the narrowest parts they knew of (38cm? 35cm?), and it was obvious to you that it wouldn't fit?
I dislike the term "democracy". The correct term that characterizes the western systems (such as the US) is "checks and balances". Having multiple check and balances is the best way to limit corruption, having general elections is a very poor proxy. Just see how many countries have general elections (and so can call themselves "democracies") and are ruled by a president for life.
This is really the perfect use case for Browsh. I first had the idea for it when I was in the deserts of Ladakh where you'd get around 3kb/s speeds.

So what you need to do is install Browsh on a remote server along with Mosh. Then from your own personal computer you can use the Mosh client to get Browsh working, albeit, quite slowly, in your terminal.

So you don't need to touch Go at all.

Let me know if you want any help, I'd love to get you setup as, like I say, this is precisely what I made Browsh for.

For .nl, the whois information for individuals is hidden except for a) interested parties (manually approved) b) investigative/enforcement authorities c) CAs (need to validate ownership). It's all explained in English at https://www.sidn.nl/a/nl-domain-name/sidn-and-privacy?langua...

The organization handling .nl, SIDN, has worked like this for a pretty long time. It's pretty much a solved problem. The data is available, just not to a lot of people.
Seems so, especially in case of Google, where it is impossible to apply to a specific team/position/project.

Interesting, how initial contact was made... Did the author contact someone from the Dart team, or did the team/Google contact him in the first place?
How to Track a MyHermes Parcel
Very nice concept, I really like the fact that the casette is gone because it occupies a lot of space leading to substantial weakening of the rear wheel (the width of the hub where the spokes attach is a very larger factor in rear wheel strength).

That gear does look like something that would do well in a meatgrinder, and given the fall-out over just having disc brakes on racing bikes I don't think that would pass inspection for road bike racing.

10 points for out of the box thinking though, a cardan driven racing bike is very clever.

Nature should publish less articles about how to do X on the cheap and more articles about how the government needs to increase funding for primary research.

As one of the most prestigious journals around, or at least most well known generally, they should be using their clout to go in and bat for researchers, not constantly being reactive and defensive.
Yes, I know :/ I'm pretty sure it's related to the issues the terminal client has here: https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh/issues/42

At least with the terminal client successive frame updates eventually render the text - a luxury we don't have yet with html.brow.sh

"Newsgroup experiments first occurred in 1979. Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis of Duke University came up with the idea as a replacement for a local announcement program, and established a link with nearby University of North Carolina using Bourne shell scripts written by Steve Bellovin. The public release of news was in the form of conventional compiled software, written by Steve Daniel and Truscott. In 1980, Usenet was connected to ARPANET through UC Berkeley which had connections to both Usenet and ARPANET. "

"Usenet gained 50 member sites in its first year, including Reed College, University of Oklahoma, and Bell Labs,[5] and the number of people using the network increased dramatically; "

"UUCP networks spread quickly due to the lower costs involved, and the ability to use existing leased lines, X.25 links or even ARPANET connections. By 1983, thousands of people participated from more than 500 hosts, mostly universities and Bell Labs sites but also a growing number of Unix-related companies; the number of hosts nearly doubled to 940 in 1984. More than 100 newsgroups existed, more than 20 devoted to Unix and other computer-related topics, and at least a third to recreation"

Sites participating in Usenet were using UUCP, which also allowed email.

Please read about Kim Peek - that guy read two pages simultanenously while retaining 98% of the content. He had the content of around 12.000 books in his memory and could recite every page after reading it once.

He was the inspiration for the movie. But he wasn't very happy and felt trapped in his brain because no one was able to have meaningful conversations with him. Poor guy.

Reason for his insane memory is that the connection between the left and right hemisphere of his brain is missing. This means that all the information get saved because the filters aren't working properly.
Electric shifting is present in high performance cycling for almost a decade now (more if you include failed attempts like the Mavic Mektronic from the 1990ies).

It's a roughly 50% split between users who want electronic shifting and users who don't (personally, I don't, I'm pushing more than my share of buttons when I'm not on the bike, I find the refined engineering of a mechanical groupset far more impressive than just throwing microcontrollers at the problem)
Really nice idea. Some friends and I were driving to Stonehenge a few weeks, I got my mate to read me the whole Wikipedia entry on Stonehenge as we were driving there. You can test this idea manually with friends and find out what the most interesting points of the article are and build that into the app.
Hey thanks! :)) Ha ok, then I should have just not mentioned, but its good to know Browsh actually coped well.
Again. This armchair analysis cannot decide whether a solution is fit for the job or not. You don't know everything that's happening at the site.
Slightly below the button marked "start reading" there is a section entitled "What’s the Catch?" that explains as much.

Depending on how you do it: yes. Look closely, the gear teeth on the driving wheel are miniature roller bearings.
>"Cars will make turns that cross your protected bike path and with parking in the way, a bike's already minimal visible cross section is reduced even more."

Proper turning/bike lane design and prioritized space for cyclists takes good care of this. In lighted intersections, stagger the lights so bikes have priority.

>" Bikes need to make left turns which is difficult when there are parked cars in the way."

Make bikes do hook turns (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_turn) instead of using the cars' left turn lanes. It's significantly safer and doesn't require bikes to cross traffic lanes.

>"Pedestrians will happily walk everywhere in your bike lane (oblivious to your bell ringing due to headphones), regardless of whatever paint you delineate the two areas."

Delineate with a curb instead of just a line, to make the separation clear.

There are rarely completely centralized consensus. You have different sides which for better or worse create consensus together. You have a law, prosecutors, activists. Sure you have corrupt politicians which centralized power a lot but this would is a problem for crypto space as well because of the people will access crypto through a classical business which can lobby for own interest.

I've started reading it, until it used the visitor pattern for its parser. It sort of generates Java code with some hacky way of doing things. It felt complex for no good reason.

I have nothing against patterns, but it made it harder to follow, so I stopped reading it.
Can you identify the process that was causing it? What size was your terminal window. And if possible the `./debug.log` file from having run `browsh -debug` could be useful. Thanks.
Not that he knew better, just that he/spacex could contribute something that no-one else could. I don't think money was ever a problem in this situation.
The "classic" Mobikes have enclosed shaft drives. But they also have airless tires, a tiny frame and crank size and a frontwheel powered LED system. It's hard to say where their perceived huge inefficiency comes from.
Shaft torsion does not lose you much energy, it mostly acts as a torsion spring: whatever you put in you will get back. The shaft will only warm up a tiny little bit from the amount of energy that it will lose during a single cycle.

Suspension does lose you a lot of energy, which is why you'll never see it on road bikes.
Compare 39 to 40, and 49 to 50... I think it's just harder for people to avoid ALL floors starting with 4, but there is still a small effect.
I would like to see a world where I can park at work or at my friend's house, I plug the car in, wait for the light to turn green, and I walk away. In that time, the car and the charging station have talked to each other and arranged to put it on my home electricity account.

The #1 lesson I took to heart when I took my motorcycle license was "ride as though every car driver is trying to kill you".

When I was handed the license, my instructor told me "congratulations, you are now invisible".

You have to ride as if everyone is simultaneously oblivious to your presence and out to run you over all the time.
The frugality is usually when you're single with no family. Once you start a family, a lot of equations change.

I made the calculation. I could get a nice mortgage for a 500k house in Austin, TX, or I could move to SF, save for 4 years and go back with enough cash in hand to buy the home outright. The decision wasn't hard to make....

It probably isn't polite to say this but if you're young and single, you can really leverage that. Most of my coworkers in TX were getting married, buying houses etc. In other words, they simply could not move to SF, since they are tied down by their situation. I could, and I did.

How do you know if Musk gave them money or not? How do you know if money was even the issue? How do you know Musk thought he knew better?

They didn't ask him for money, money was not the issue. If they had asked him for money he would have probably helped out. They asked his engineers for help and they tried to help. He didn't think he 'knew better' he tried something and offered it as an idea to the people responsible. Did he say 'fuck those assholes they should have used my solution'?

They can, they just need to no interact outside their bubble, make sure they pay their taxes in a fair way (because, you know, the Panama is 100% legal), and do not show up when their not asked to.

Musk is great at building cool toys, but I'm not sure he's great at making humanity better. (hint: we don't need more battery, we don't need to go to Mars, we don't need more cars on the roads, and some people sure don't need a submarine). Now if Elon wants to go in the cave and bring oxygen bottle to those who need it, or explain the kids to never give up, well, that'd be nice.
Show HN: Karma.link – Lets your app interface with Ethereum contracts using JSON
Hi HN, we're the team behind karma.link.
We love Ethereum and think it's a great technology.
However, integrating conventional applications with Ethereum dapps is hard.
This is why we created karma.link, a small RPC server for applications that bridges this gap.
We aim to demystify the technology and enable companies to take advantage of it in everyday business.
It's still VERY early stages but we've taken the leap and open sourced our MVP.
Any and all feedback, here or as Github-issue is much appreciated.
If you want to show your support, go ahead and give our repo a star. Thank you.

In the states it's quite common to number the floors of a building by avoiding the number 13. I think this is pure madness. 10, 11, 12, 14, 15...

Well that's what I thought too. But he came up with it based on conversations with one of the divers. I think initially people though the Boring Co would be able to do something but that wasn't feasible so this is what they brainstormed. It's not a terrible idea by any means, it's just not needed this time.
Most indexed systems work just fine. Di2 is nice but a luxury imo, and the parts are just crazy expensive.

Electric shifting is at this point in time more of a status symbol than an actual solution.
