If he could create those other creative photos, then yes, I'd say he is a genius. The process of creating these creative photos would be remarkable, not the copying to a canvas or a bigger paper.

As it is, there's nothing notable in copying pictures with a simple method than anyone can follow very easily.
The post above still shows this to be false, even accounting for child mortality. And what exactly do you imagine the quality of life was like for people in a society with massive child mortality?

To say that the past was anything but a terrible place to live is to blind yourself to horrific realities about the way people have lived up until now. To imagine life was much like it is today is a massive anachronism, based often on one’s ignorance of the details of life in past societies that one pastes over with their own situation.

What makes this not real AVX? Because there is not one dedicated 256-bit unit?

They are great, but the jumbo Macbook trackpads are better (I use both - my macbook's external keyboard is a Lenovo SK-8855). Also, be careful not to strain your fingers too much on the trackpoint. You could easily get carpal tunnel. My fingers start tingling after using the trackpoint for too long.
The True Story of a Man-Eating Tiger's 'Vengeance'
Netflix for text would be impossible. Netflix for movies is only possible because the overwhelming majority of decent movies are produced with the involvement of a relatively small number of production companies, and that in turn is the case because making a good movie is a much bigger exercise than making a good piece of text. It's highly unusual for one person to make a high-quality movie on their own and publish it directly on the internet, whereas this is entirely normal and common for text.
I had previously looked at D a while back, before I was thinking about this project. It did seem an improvement upon C, but not enough of one to make it worth the switch. Also, for this project, I'm looking for something without garbage collection.

I hadn't really looked closely at Nim before, but it is garbage-collected too, so I don't think that's going to work.
Absolutely shameful. Has this insurer ever paid out an actual claim to anyone?

This depresses me, because there's a strange .. loop in society where people thinks advance means unaccessible and university lab only. Where in fact most concepts are uber 'simple' in form and can be explored quite easily. Similarly there was an article about J. Bose early radio research where you could see polarizing filters made out of a book with metal foil interspersed. I really feel bad about the distorted reality people live in.

Using some database backed full text search will beat this by a huge margin.

Especially when it comes to actually working correctly.

As the author states where are some caveats with invalid "hashes" and i managed to get false negatives on the third try.

For example 'Baden-Württemberg' and 'Egypt' is in the file but not found by the search.

Not to mention fuzzy search which is highly important if you are doing any kind of text search.

And setting up some PostgresSQL or SQLite costs nothing compared to the cost of debugging this rather naive approach.
IIRC it's all the airspace until the 'general aviation' zone starts, where the owner still has some control but FAA or other local authority legally requires property owners to permit operation of planes and other properly licenced aircraft.

There's not much court precedent yet, and many places are passing specific laws to clarify this, but the general assumption should be that unless you're above 400-500 feet where national aviation regulations apply, you'd need a permission from the owner of the land.
I still check it daily!
I think it only matters what type of people are in charge. Democracy won't protect your country, only whether those who have taken an oath to defend the rule of law, their country, and their vote, actually do. See recent events.

Ask HN: Any task management cross-platform service with good keyboard shortcuts
I use wunderlist but it seems it's no longer being maintained properly and I've experienced issues like it doesn't sync tasks to assignee in shared list unless they restart app or sometimes not at all.

However, I like wunderlist as it can be operated nicely with keyboard which neither todoist nore asana seem to support at the moment.

For instance, press escape to close task details and you're landed on tasks list which you can navigate around with arrow keys and pressing app key opens up the menu. pressing escape again takes you to the folder list. Tab key also works nicely like that. Overall gives a nice desktop app feeling

I have the same feeling here. Although I think it's true that scrutiny is advised in all cases, I don't think I've seen such a critical comment section before.
It might encourage a few people to learn the real language spoken in the movie instead of a conlang which nobody ever spoke outside the movie. The time and effort expended by Star Trek fans learning Klingon might be better spent learning Basque, Cornish, Abkhaz, Etruscan, or Sumerian. They'd learn a language with speakers and/or literature, and if the language is still spoken contribute to its continuity.
You mean, others assume a logical impossibility and proceed from there. Violence is not an eradicable part of humanity, even in prisons. It doesn't go away if you get rid of the violent government, you simply have unrestrained violence (anarchy), which is not a stable state, but an unstable local minimum. Ultimately, might does make right, in the sense that the irresistible (violent) power of the collective does dictate what the rights of the individual are. I'm sorry if you don't like that.

Venmo: how the payment app exposes our private lives
Our ideas of memory come from our previous ideas of memory. It's much more malleable than you may have grown to understand.

It really is like bread crumbs when you have deal with things like information overload. There's that whole idea of a 'memory palace' that I like to think about before I go to sleep, because it gives me a structure to meditate on at the end of the day, the thoughts I want to retain and arrange in the ways I'm curious about retaining and arranging them.

A lot of the information we collect can appear ordered, but unless it's a rigorous order proven mathematically, there's no real way to prove anything about the efficiency of our memory. Some thoughts may be useful tomorrow and others may be useful 10 years from now.

So I think it's fun to give it a structure I remember and can travel into, because I chose how to organize it over a very long period of time.

But ultimately I think it depends on ways you are most comfortable thinking about information. My imagination tends to be very visual.
How do you write a parser in a language like Go? I stumbled upon parser combinatory and tried to shoehorn them into Go, but the lack of generics mostly prohibited this. I also tried imperatively writing the parser, but this was tedious and error prone. I also explored parser generators, but these seemed to have huge learning curves and still produced awful code. Beyond that, it’s hard to tell what kind of parser I need because of all of the academic jargon. :/

I would love to be pointed in the right direction!
The final release of the 2018 PLANCK results
> To the untrained eye, this looks much more challenging than something more abstract.

Judging art by the challenge to the artist's skill to create it is exactly the 19nth century thinking that I'm talking about. We already have cameras and photoshop and 3d modelling software - if something can be created by a tool, I don't see any value in creating it by hand, except for the skill training in itself.
Your assessment is absurdly dramatic, and I make that claim without evidence until your claims have evidence.

One of my favorite books is Steven Caney's "Play"

https://www.amazon.com/Steven-Caneys-Playbook-Caney/dp/09111...

From an older edition, one of many projects was making a hammock out of old 6-pack rings. For many years, the plastic used in these rings is designed to degrade, but at the time the book was written it would have worked.

I hadn't heard about this. They've sued several companies whose names end with "book". Apparently a lawsuit coming from FB is scary enough that they've acquiesced and changed their names, without standing up in court. Replacebook!

I don’t think it’s nuts to share such depth of knowledge. I greatly welcome the knowledge, too. I legitimately am wondering what sort of project I could take up that would be “small enough”, only do-able in asm/c, and interesting.
What a story. But it's not insurance that's bad, it's (local) insurers. In the Netherlands for international coverage there are two main support companies covering all insurers that provide help while abroad. That help is pretty extensive. If you deliver early abroad, they might send a nurse or doctor to help fly you back. They can book you flights and taxis if a relative dies or get you a new car pretty much anywhere worldwide. This all from personal experience, my professional experience gives me the same impression. In this case they would have probably guided him with a nurse or doctor to Singapore.

Which leads to my only gripe about this story. Why did he act though and not ask for help from the get go. Is there no international support in UK policies? Flying while sedated and bleeding...

Any insurer should see paying out as the prime deliverance of the customer promise. You don't skimp on paying out, but do try to be very careful about getting swindled. Getting called after 20k is spent would get the flags up in any insurer, good faith or bad.

My 2 cents would be that a good timeline and documented claim (like this blog post without the fluff) could still get him the 20k. It's an insured event, without the time for proper evaluation and without malice. That's a good basis for any claim.
This is the most realistic answer here. SAP is legacy software. Any company that has been using SAP since the 1990s is still probably running parts of software that were written around that time - or even earlier (!)

Actually, this leads to the same types of problems that everyone is discussing here over 'customizing'... at the root it is a collision of ever larger growing global companies with ever-increasing complex process that must rely on older and older code (or customizing) bases, because stopping everything and doing a total overhaul just isn't feasible at such scale.

Every custom program or customized process brings rise to a future risk of headaches/breakages when the system is upgraded, a process is once again changed, or something should be added to the process.

I guess the best analogy I can think of as an ABAP developer, is that it sometimes feels like running on a treadmill that just keeps getting faster...

Someone commented above how IBM used to be the company that was infinitely trusted... and indeed, SAP itself as a company is certainly not at fault, but until the environment changes with SAP customers and all their custom code and processes... I guess only time will tell...
