The story of Michael Larson involves a smaller payout from a 1980s game show, but it's interesting because it's more due to a hacker mindset than fraud (though he was involved in the latter later in life) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Larson

I learned to brew many years ago and have always liked this book:

How To Brew: Everything You Need to Know to Brew Great Beer Every Time https://www.amazon.com/dp/1938469356/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_JTFx...

This book is pretty commonly sold with starter kits too.
The reason Xilinx won't open source their toolchain, I'm guessing, is that it would reveal to their competitors the optimizations they are using to get more speed or density.

Benchmarks and business are won on speed and density (how much I can fit on a given part, and how fast it runs).

I can't think of many software projects that had active business competitors (taking sales away from them) that went open source.

I don't think code quality has anything to do with it.

The first generation antihistamines are strongly anticholinergic, so long term use might have cognative effects and may increase the chance of dementia later in life. They can also interact with a lot of other medication since they are much less specific than most drugs. I agree that they are still quite a bit better than GABA-A agonists. IMO, any sleep medication is best taken with breaks as frequently as possible, which can both increase effectiveness when you take it and reduce side effects of long term use.

Pre-religion, no, I don't think so.

Some religious households are frankly insane and raise their young to specifically avoid such discovery and exploration of genitalia. Don't forget there are religions in the world where women's genitals are mutilated to such an extent as to remove the clitoris entirely.

There's also a somewhat common condition [1] of the foreskin where it's relatively small and too tight around the head to be pulled back and cleaned. Imagine a young man having such a condition in such a conservative household where nobody ever discussed his penis beyond the minimal potty-training.

The 4chan story I mentioned in my previous post appeared to be such a case of a tight foreskin, where he had simply never pulled it back because it didn't seem possible. The level of ignorance about his own anatomy was genuinely shocking, and if there weren't such obviously authentic amateur cell-phone photographs accompanying the whole ordeal I would have been certain it was fake.

Hi mhermann. I did originally consider writing my preferences and why, but decided against it as my intention was simply to try to objectively highlight the differences when it comes to adding/deleting items, passing props from parent to child, emitting data from child to parent etc - all so that the reader can then form their own opinion.

But seeing as you've asked, I prefer Vue at the moment as you can achieve the same things in React but with fewer lines of code :)

Is it purely cultural? Or is it possible that the actual number of narcissists has gone up in recent years? Controversial I know, but perhaps narcissists are simply more likely to succeed in modern society, and whatever genetic factors affect that are being passed down more.

Still, there's definitely a cultural aspect to it, and that's definitely increased worldwide in recent years. Social media sites and the modern internet as a whole definitely rewards being egotistical and those who succeed there are often those who are better at marketing themselves in general.

Heck, perhaps there's even an economic reason for it. With the job market going the way it is and things like AI getting more powerful, the route to success for many people now seems to be 'build a brand around yourself and market the hell out of it'. Eventually it may be difficult to get employed in general if you don't already have a brand and an existing audience.
We're doing both relaxing and having an adventure (kayaking, whale watching, snorkeling, hiking etc). We only prefer breakfast included so we can get quickly going in the morning, otherwise we prefer to eat in different places or maybe in the same place. It really depends. We also like going to the bach to relax and swim. Staying at home is quite boring and the city is exhausting. Your brain gets stuck without new experiences. If we lived in the countryside it would be quite different, but then there are choirs to do in and around the house which on vacation get done be the staff.

That's not true. We do not have overages. We don't charge for bandwidth. If you use a lot of bandwidth then we may contact you and see if paying for service makes more sense for you (for example, if you are running a business on our free plan then the level of support you get might not be what you need; or there may be missing features that would help you).
Similar stories happened to Bennie Beans on ebay. Everyone jumped on the tilip mania hoping to make good buck skyrocketing the price of beannies and making owner millionaire. Then it all crashed. You can still buy original beanies with very low serial number for less than $10, all the way from $4,000 people used to originally pay.
Indeed. A study in Africa I read about halted the trial part way through on ethical grounds because the STI contraction rate in the circumcised cohort was so much lower. However I found no evidence that they had taken into account a healing penis wound causing less frequent (zero?) intercourse for this group.
that seems excessive. any failure of your behavior to meet your self-generated long terms goals is really up to you to enforce. if we just cant stop ourselves from gorging on social media candy and click bait, that underlies a pretty serious question about free will.

since for the moment the internet approximates its initial goal of underlying ubiquitous connectivity, and the costs of running services is vanishingly small, doesn't it seem like well intentioned people with broader goals could create alternate content? (i.e. wikipedia, HN, LtU)

Sure. It’s also possible to encode any non-ASCII text as ASCII as ::yen-sign:: or ::em-dash:: or ::cyrillic-capital-letter-schwa:: and implement your own algorithm to replace them with their intended symbols. We just happen to have one fairly widely agreed upon standard for doing that, and it’s Unicode.
To be fair, you original comment did use both "supercomputer" and "HPC". I'd argue that, although in most people's minds, the two are indistinguishable (perhaps like the words "envious" and "jealous"), but carry a unique significance to practitioners.

That said, any lay definition of supercomputer would seem to require actual performance (e.g. high FLOPS rate), which trivally supports the initial assertion.

One can call something like the Folding@Home project a distributed supercomputer, but it's not that interesting, especially to build such a system, for anything embarrassingly parallel.
I'm building a language tailored for business app and for long time I was thinking in make decimals the first-class treatment.

ie, when doing "total = 1.3 + 2 * 10%" all this is in decimal. To make float "total = 1.3f + 2f * 10%".

The reason is that most, if not all, the calculations in my life are around money. I only use floats because that is what every language make me do.

However, I wish to know how do this robustly. How not rely on hacks? How do this ok? I'm working in rust for this.
You can't blame the IP laws for the fact that Apple is bullying people that fix and refurbish Apple products,
hopefully there will be laws around the world to require electronics manufacturers to supply parts similar and repair schematics similar as for cars.

I do not see other manufacturers doing same as Apple, so it is FALSE that laws are the ones causing Apple to behaive like this, that would mean that all the rest are operating illegally and let the users open and repair the products, some of them even
DARE to sell the parts.
We've always used pg_trgm with GiST indexes, with the same sort of materialized view described here, containing unaccented search terms. One of the big benefits here is we can then do really fast '10 best matches' by text similarity. Obviously this is a slightly different use case than full-text over largish documents, but it's great when you've got a database of foreign names that people only vaguely know how to spell.

This looks really nice, kudos! Here are my few (hopefully constructive) comments:

- The website looks great but quite heavy:

29 requests, 17.66 MB transferred, Finish: 40.09 s

Maybe see if you can re-encode `history-device.mp4` and `spaces-device.mp4` since they constitute the 78% of the traffic. =)

- I liked all the features you've introduced, but loved the way you've designed them!

- Kudos for getting the tagging right! Many developers expect users to tag their content, and tags were the next-big-thing at some point where there were tag-based file systems[0], photo and video galleries that expected you to tag each of your photos, and so on; but what really worked was automating the process of tagging! Everyone can agree that Google or Apple Photos are miles ahead of digiKam or Picasa when it comes to finding what you are looking for. I am glad that you didn't delegate that responsibility to the user.

- I think you should've put it on the AppStore first before sharing it; I would download it right away right now, as with many other people, but how many of us would remember Refresh a month later?

- I'd love to have branching history as well: so I have a tab and it has a linear history through which I can either go "forward" or "backward". Now, if I move backward in history, and click on a different link in that page, the history should branch at that point so that I won't loose the track of my previous "forward" pages when I click on a link in a previous page.

- Maybe not as satisfying, but I'd also consider developing add-ons for Chrome and Mozilla; some people would be reluctant to change their browser, but they'd be more comfortable adding exciting add-ons on a reliable browser.

All the best!

>I don't understand your comparison between Arduino Studio and Project Icestorm. I'm going to assume you mean the ease of use.

Lets call it "time to hello_world".

If you buy an arduino, you can go from opening the box and reading the pamphlet to altering how quickly the LED blinks in about 5 minutes, and most of that is dependent on your internet speed.

A lot of that is because of really basic things like having a friendly list of the different boards (development boards, _not_ chips) you might be using so you can just pick the name you recognise from the list without actually having to know what you're doing. It's really important for people to be able to learn by flailing around without knowing what they are doing if you want mass adoption of a technology.

On the other hand, pretty much the first thing you notice on the icestorm page is a massive list of different packages and the command line arguments you need to use for them, which means you need to know the exact fpga package you are working with. I'm not saying that all the other FPGA toolchains don't do the exact same thing, because they definitely do.

Never the less, this whole process feels a lot more like circa-1995 gcc commands than it does "go build". It's such a little thing, but enough little things can make something too hard to bother with, and there are _lots_ of little frustrations with FPGAs. The hardware of arduino was fairly unremarkable, the revolution was that you could just buy it and start bashing around with it in minutes on any computer. No signups, no technical manuals and no compiling from source.

Solr and Elasticsearch are not relational database systems and have none of the optimizations for relational data that Postgres does. They are built on top of Lucene and target document retrieval via an inverted index [1] rather than dealing with relational data.

Unsurprising. This is one public announcement, but it's inevitable that there are many more products which will cease support for MacOS.

OpenGL is an established industry-standard graphics API. Supported on every platform of note. Drop it, and you're going to lose developers who rely on it. A vendor-specific proprietary API isn't an improvement, it's regressive. There are many products which won't be able to justify a Metal port, including one of my own. Despite its ugliness, OpenGL worked everywhere and modern OpenGL is actually pretty decent.

If Apple want to retain developers, they need to have a long, hard think about their strategy here. I'll consider supporting MacOS again, if they can cut back on proprietary stuff and support the industry-standard stuff. OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan would be a good start.

No. Men can have kids with multiple women at the same time, but women can only have one man's baby at a time, i.e. the best possible option for them. A marriage with N men is one with N-1 cuckolds.

> with digital storage it's often a step function where it's like "whoops, a few bits flipped, can't read at all anymore"

Digital anything, really. Analog signals degrade somewhat gracefully—you have to explicitly build error correction into a digital signal.

A relatively recent example of a bungled transition from analog to digital: when the US switched to digital television in 2009, my family suddenly and completely lost many local/lower-powered/more distant stations that we used to be able to get with just a little static or distortion. And the channels we continued to get wou— —ut out occasio— —in a really a—oying wa— and became unwatchable (well, unlistenable).

You're right! Copying to a higher-definition medium should in theory allow for effectively lossless copies.

There is a potential catch, in that analog copies will tend to introduce some amount of physical errors no matter how much the hypothetical increase in definition should allow for perfection. Subsequent copies, no matter how high their quality, will both tend to amplify these errors and introduce new ones. You get a similar result if you repeatedly re-endcode data even in high-fidelity lossy ways - each encode introduces artifacts and amplifies previous artifacts.

It's an intriguing idea! Thank you for bringing it forth for discussion.
Would you object to a bookstore that tests playing low volume classical music to see how it affects sales?

If it increases sales and so they keep playing it, is that manipulating customers and unethical?

What if the reason it increases sales is that it makes the customers find the bookstore more pleasant and relaxing, and so it makes the customers happy to spend more time there, which results in them being more likely to find a book they want to buy?
I added this thread to favorites but I prob will never read the referenced article.
Sure, so long as you assume the transfer is 100% perfect with no errors or artifacts and can make subsequent copies similarly. In practice, few physical processes can offer that level of assurance, and digital copies can.
> At no point do these people take a step back and say,"hey, maybe Trump got elected because people don't like us?"

This is arguably the key point. And I think the reason that's the case is because well, what were the mainstream politicians and parties offering?

Not much. At least, not much that their bases wanted, and not much that'd improve people's standard of living. It was 'more of the same', with a helping of pro corporation laws and tax breaks.

And their marketing was especially dire during the EU Referendum and 2016 election. Tons of comments about how wrong or stupid or 'deplorable' the other side was, lots of assumptions about how they'd automatically win. No promises about how the world/population would be better off under their system or how things would improve in general.

Will either Trump or Brexit or what not make things better?

No, likely not, but the solution isn't to try and lock down communication systems to stop it happening again, it's to take a long look at your party and political platform and start offering things people want rather than what gets you money or power.

Its good to check for that, and it is good to know that you can sign up for a class at a community college (pretty much any class) and qualify for the "student" rate on the bigger development packages[1]. That said it looks like most of the chips mentioned in the list that I can check with either WebPack or Quartus seem to be supported.

I believe Wittigstein said it best: philosophical paradoxes (if a tree falls in forest with no one around to hear it, does it make a noise?) are just word play, due to the inconsistencies of human language.

Adequate language or computer code makes them go away. You are not blind without glasses - you can distinguish shapes and remember the shape of the room and where you may have left glasses and probe with your hand to find them.

You are not comatose without coffee - you are conscious, and take coffee just to feel more alert.

And so on, that with the right language (but it is easier to do that with mathematics or code) the paradox goes away. Like the Zeno paradox with calculus.
FPGA's are cool and all, but the window of applications where FPGA's are the best tool for the job is getting narrower and narrower.

For compute heavy applications, GPU's usually offer more performance per watt and performance per $, especially if your application requires lots of add/subtract/multiply/floating point operations.

For large scale designs, low end ASIC's are surprisingly cheap (Starting from $10k), and by far beat an FPGA on perf per watt, and per $ with enough volume.

"I have a big state machine I need to run" is usually misleading. Usually your state machine isn't big enough to require an FPGA, and just converting it to a bunch of switch statements on a microcontroller will do the job just fine.

Microcontrollers usually get close to FPGA's on the "super accurate timing" front too - there are lots that can bit bang things into the hundreds of Mhz range with fancy serialization hardware.
