I stayed and worked as a Lawyer in Japan for a few years, and I wouldn't say it makes a difference whether you want to integrate or not. I would even tend to think that not integrating can result in being better accepted. Just be the French or the US guy they like to hang out with, the one who knows to do stuff they don't know, and everything will be fine. Try to become a japanese, and you'll end up being crushed by the system.

Speaking japanese is a great plus of course - but it's quite easy to learn, reading and writing don't help much - except if you want to explore the vast trove of japanese culture.

But the most important thing is to know that there is nearly zero interest in working in Japan if you're not the boss. Your career will be painful and difficult. You will suffer. It's a worst of two worlds situation.
I could be wrong but I think binding arbitration is almost exclusively an American thing. The rest of the world can sue.

Is it exhaustion that can be handled by a week’s vacation? If yes, that might be a starting point. Otherwise, if the company if completely committed, it’s probably time to look for a new job.

Saving the history of computing
That there is no bit used for the sign, and so I know when the registers will overflow. A lot of the assembler code I wrote exploits this very fact, since when used cleverly it’s a performance optimization.
In practice this isn't an issue. Most open source software projects will not gain traction or become famous or have forks or any users for that matter.
In my experience, Metafilter has excellent moderation, particularly around politics threads as of late.

I wasn't aware that CPUs have licenses. It's certainly not something I've ever agreed to on purpose or otherwise. There is no box or manual to imply that I have ever agreed to such a license. I'm not doubting you, I'm just wondering where this license lies and when/how did I agree to it?
I once wrote something very similar to this as a literal proof-of-concept hack for a form-oriented problem. It's fun to get it to the point where it works for the simplified test cases such projects always start out with.

But I never used it beyond that proof-of-concept; I still reach for EAV and/or JSON columns when I need to do this sort of thing for production software.
The Jr. bankers billed a metric-ton of hours and made their firms truckloads in fees.

Yes and no. A lot of that work if not most would have been essentially speculative in the hope of getting a big payoff if the deal went through.

The lawyers on the other hand would have billed hourly.
Free Tiers Comparison: Amazon, Google, Microsoft
This made me think that on top of having a 200ms in actions perhaps the AI can use an action queue where each action will have a delay of 50 ms. This will be a good way to simulate the human latency in using fingers to send the keystrokes. So, if a the DP want to use eul, she will end up taking 200 (base latency) + 50 (first click) + 50 (2nd click) = 300 ms. Still would be able to dodge but now it is much more competitive.
He copied Google's SERP page, AND copied all of his competitors websites. That's definitely copyright infringement, you'd be livid if you were a competitor, and as a user you'd be pretty annoyed.

It's still an interesting hack, so good to see it being talked about. But it is not ethical and definitely illegal in almost any jurisdiction.

Ask HN: How do you choose your next book to read?
There are plenty of books to read, but it can be hard to decide which to pick.
What's your strategy?
I usually:
- Pick something in a topic I want to read about with a high Goodreads rating.
- Pick something recommended by someone I look up to
This is spot on. The only incentive the app stores have is to optimize search for results that will likely yield the best income, i.e. suggest apps that a certain user is most likely to pay for (or buy micro transactions in). The whole thing is just one gigantic F2P platform in disguise, if you want to be cynical.

Show HN: Prime Number Regex
I was messing around representing integers using binary trees, and noticed that a certain tree format makes it trivial to grep for prime numbers. Probably not very novel, but thought y'all might enjoy it. Here's one through sixteen:

* (()())
* ((()())())
* (((()())())())
(((()())())(()()))
* ((((()())())())())
((((()())())())(()()))
* ((((()())())(()()))())
((((()())())(()()))(()()))
((((()())())(()()))((()())()))
((((()())())(()()))(((()())())()))
* (((((()())())())())())
(((((()())())())())(()()))
* (((((()())())())(()()))())
(((((()())())())(()()))(()()))
(((((()())())())(()()))((()())()))
(((((()())())())(()()))(((()())())()))

I added asterisks in front of the primes. Here's the set of 16-bit ints:

https://gist.github.com/cieplak/213fb4c88581d8971b274b7ec647...

The regex just checks if the string ends with '())':

cat integers.txt | grep '())$' | nl | tail -1
A 3 km/h speed over the limit is not in the same category as many other law breaks... It's become such a cash cow in Europe.
You said it was impossible to bike 15 miles to work, regardless of available bicycle infrastructure.

I said it is very much possible, and these were middle-aged people, not athletes by any measure.

Biking is a very energy-efficient mode of transport, it really doesn't take long before you're able to ride 20 or 30km in a single stretch.
"all the school districts were better than average"

That might be a statistical impossibility:-)
Of course, this license is a virtual benchmark: Intel spares you the work of running tests with their implicit claim that their performance is worse than anyone's lowest expectations.
I was thinking of openSUSE and Ubuntu, but you're right that openSUSE still has 32-bit libraries around.

In the openSUSE Leap 15.0 standard repos, there's 6554 packages named "lib..." and 1368 named "lib...32bit", so roughly 20% of libraries have a 32 bit version still, which obviously could well be enough to contain all the libraries needed for Steam.
(In total, there's 36237 packages, of which 1804 are 32 bit.)

With Ubuntu, I'm not entirely sure, as I don't run it, I've just heard that Lubuntu is having problems, because they would still like to support 32-bit, but with other Ubuntu flavors not anymore being released with 32-bit support, they're having trouble keeping it up.
Might just be proper testing of the 32-bit libraries, though.

Well, and then there is obviously more niche distributions, which never bothered with 32-bit. Chakra Linux, for example, is so niche, they don't even provide any GTK applications in their main repository, and I think no 32-bit packages either. They do have a community repository, which has more stuff in it, but even there, I can only find around 20 packages with 32-bit support.
This is a disorder, what is the recommended course of action and how effective is it in treating this disorder?

> There is a quiet denial about how luxurious modern living is.

Absolutely! I genuinely marvel every time I go into a supermarket. I can buy a huge variety of delicious foods from all the corners of the globe. 200 years ago a king couldn't eat this well.

Also, I have literal robots doing my housework! A robot cleans the floor. A robot cleans the dishes. A robot cleans my clothes. It's nice to take a step back and appreciate all this.
How can INTEL tell people what to do with their CPU, I own it so I think I can do with it what I want or not? Only because the microcode update is considered software? I wouldn't be scared to benchmark it and publish the results in the EU. I wonder if this is binding in the US.
The license doesn't distinguish people from people working as employees. The original AGPL (not GNU) states[1], in its FAQ:

"Simply, if run internally to a commercial company, then the company isn't required to release source code back to the world."; and

"If an employee has access to the source and has the right to make improvements, the commercial entity could probably view this work as work for hire and owned by the company and not have to be released outside."

nice idea but im not sure how accurate it is, i checked my gen 1 X1 carbon (i7 3667u 8gb, intel HD4000) and it returns several games im relatively sure wont run even close to playable such as Ark, GTA V, Starwars Battlefront 2 and others that i dont imagine would run in even their lowest settings

(either that or im drastically underestimating the performance of the HD4000)
I agree. User experience is so overrated these day, right?
Interesting how main stream science obsesses over Neanderthals but ignore Boskopoids. I suppose it does not fit in with the narrative being projected on humanity. Also worth mentioning Adam's calendar which was discovered in 2003 in South Africa and predates Stonehenge by 10s of thousands of years.

Where did I say I'm proud of this? Everyone keeps saying "proud". I chose to share it in public because it's a serious problem that others may be using it to do real harm.

Ah, the Catalog Showroom era.

In the Bay Area, Consumer's Distributing came first. Best Products came later. Service Merchandise came West after that.

There was another small chain called something like DAG or DAK (not the Drew Allan Kaplan operation). There was a showroom of theirs near Camden and Union in San Jose near Campbell.

Hopefully that's the last straw for anti-trust agencies to chime in.
I have made my living doing open source software development for a number of years now. My perspective here is a little different than the article's.

There are, in reality, three ways that open source software comes to be. The first two are heavily subsidized (educational/academic proof of concept and internal projects by larger companies which are open sourced to cut maintenance costs). In the first case, academia subsidizes the software and in the second case the software exists open source to try to reduce the burdens on one company. Kafka, etc. are good examples of the second.

There is a third approach which I have also used which is the the customer-sponsored-development model. This works well with a certain kind of application aimed at vertical markets in business. Here you expect those who need new features or support accounts to subsidize maintenance. This is also how a lot of larger open source software projects that escape academia effectively work.

In all cases there are two distinct issues. The first is subsidizing the initial development. This has to be subsidized somehow because often times getting to a minimum viable project is a lot bigger than folks expect. Academia and big business are the two major ways these often happen here. But then the second is subsidizing continued development and maintenance. Here there are different approaches. One can use pay-for-development/support models or expect users to contribute patches (depending on the context of the open source project either one might actually be viable and beneficial and the difference is who is paying the paycheck, and what the relationship is between the user and developer).

Ugh, poor money management skills have nothing to do with morals. It's fine to say someone has poor money management skills just like it's fine to say someone has poor C++ coding skills.

Creating a budget and sticking to it requires behavioral changes that take time to sink in.

It's extremely unlikely that you make the perfect amount of money to cover your exact needs that result in you being broke. It's much more likely that people adapt to a system of spending all money that comes in on whatever 'priority item' pops into their mind because they lack the skill and/or discipline of budgeting. This is evident in higher income people as well that suffer from lifestyle creep.

Again, this has nothing to do with morals. It's just a statement about the appalling lack of financial education in the vast majority of the US population.

Yes - take 6 months off to go and do something completely different. Weeks 2-4 will be difficult as you struggle to let go. Months 2-6 will be incredible.
> I find it amusing & ironic that they're pursuing games of efficiently & strategically killing enemies as examples of their successful progress. ;-)

Except that the amusement and irony would cease to exist once you have some idea of what's happening behind the scenes.

The AI doesn't know it's "killing enemies". For it, it's just something that results in the increase of a numerical reward signal.
That would be hard to make. And if you find a solid one let me know I'm passively looking myself.

Why do I say it would be hard to make?

I came up with this thought about politics and religion specifically years ago that I think still holds true.

"It's hard to get people to think their way [around] positions they never really thought their way into"

Most people come by their politics by assimilating their family or communities, especially in college, and never really think to question.

It becomes a deep part of their identity.

And if you question their politics it's as if you are insulting them.

It's hard to have a solid conversation about a subject when both sides feel constantly personally attacked...

It's very hard to remove that element and speak clearly about ideas on their own merits.
I think they were very much inspired by Delphi and other Borland products at the time. Delphi was pretty awesome in 1996/1997.
IME, most parts of GitHub work fine without JS enabled. (Though sometimes I have to disable CSS to get my hands on some forms…)

This is unlike major competitors (GitLab, Bitbucket), which are completely broken.

No, they're not the same thing. GE/NEXUS is a trusted traveller program where they do a full background check on you to see if you are a risk. Passports never provided that; a passport is just a travel document saying who you are, not a bilateral authorization from the security services of both countries that you're not and will not be a security risk.
And maybe they'll mark benchmarking packages as conflicting with intel-microcode-legally-restricted?

> It's hard to untangle the confused premises in the parent. What people want isn't dependent on their skin color.

Never said anything like that. Aboriginals are white in tasmania anyway but the OP used black so i assumed that was what people want to use.

> A person in the United States who has black skin has nothing at all to do with people in Australia who are aboriginals.

I don't get what your trying to say. Are you making the tabula rasa claim that race is just skin color or some kind of weird pseudo-science?

> If I understand correctly, the parent is saying that they have no idea. Maybe people with red hair like orange marmalade, but I don't know what I'm contributing by saying that.

So i proposed an idea that different ethnicities that have evolved in different environments with different cultures have different ideas of what classifies success. I don't pretend I know what indians want for india or Japanese for japan and it would be ignorant to just apply my cultural norms to them.

> An underlying problem is that word; it should be 'we'. We're not talking about Martians, but people in the same country and culture as the majority (plurality?) of readers. It says a lot about HN that the word is 'they'.

Because im making a classification between european-americans and african-americans? How can i do that with we?
Are there really a lot of these people?

Don't get me wrong, Japan is truly a wonderful place to visit but living there seems like playing life on "hard mode" as compared to other countries: new language and culture, never truly becoming "one of them", and relatively poor working conditions.

Unless you have existing ties to the place, it seems hard to believe that people will move in droves; although I can understand a few people moving.
The Japanese (and Korean) work culture, or at least the external perception thereof is the biggest factor that turns me and others off. Who wants to work most of their life and put in twelve or more hours a day six days a week or more? It's worse than America which is already quite bad and off-putting. I don't know what it is about hard work that people have fetishised, but it's not all that it's cut out to be and frankly, if one doesn't have to work that hard, working that hard is stupid. Not to mention unhealthy. Doing it for low pay borders on insanity or disease. Workaholism is no different than alcoholism at its core. Both are extremely destructive. Well at least with the former, there will hopefully be money to pay one's medical and early funeral bills.
I see some Dickheads commenting against Dejan. He is so smart, fuck all other cunts who can't even rank a simple site. We all do black, nothing is white in this world. Everything needs tricks, you can't do all white way.
Well luckily I started with a version that was not that hard to update as of yet.

I expect it to get harder though but this being a side project I'm not that worried.
And they were always advertised as “unlimited flatrate”. So yes, that’s my point. Unlimited and flatrate are two orthogonal concepts.
I'm no expert in the topic, but "lithium ion" is a broad category of different chemistries with different characteristics. Cooling also plays a very important role. Tesla's powerwall for example has a warranty of 5000 cycles whereas my Macbook's battery is only good for 1000 cycles and my previous Macbook's battery was only good for 300 cycles.
>There is a quiet denial about how luxurious modern living is

There's also a big denial about how luxurious 1940s living was compared to 1840s or the palaeolithic ages...

...and that's just as well, because it's not really relevant. Living standards and necessities are determined socially, in comparison with what others of the same era have (and expect people to have), not with comparison to the past.

Someone that lives in nice large cave in Malibu with rocks for furniture and self-made pottery, and a stock of food he has hunted himself, would be considered well-off in the cavemen era, but homeless today.
Ask HN: Do you think programming will look radically different in 50 years?
Not explicitly, no, but it does have some techniques for reading code that might help?

Do you mean global variables? I guess it entirely depends on what language and framework you're using, but trying to refactor things to have less global state is generally for the best.
Long time ago I wrote about this technique: http://mixedbit.org/referer.html
Besides back button navigation, I also had ideas to use a fake malware warning or just take a victim directly to fake search engine results.

For most of my time as a software developer and engineer I released code under GPLv2 and BSD licenses. It paid the bills because I knew how to sell what I was doing. I charged enough to cover the time sink. Now I am a world-class expert in some common BSD-licensed software.
I wonder what the speed is like. I bought a netbook as soon as I could back in 2007 or so. I still run my Dell Mini 9 to this day. Back then I wanted to be able to hack on emacs in bed (seriously). I never actually did that much because using a keyboard (especially a very small keyboard) in bed isn't very comfortable. But the other point was this was a portable computer I could actually afford (it was less than £200). The computer also has no moving parts whatsoever which I found very cool. It's powered by 32 bit Atom and these days I find even Lubuntu has unsatisfactory performance. So it now run Gentoo with a minimal kernel and just enough to run i3wm with Firefox and emacs on there.

I guess the ARM64 is more powerful than my Atom. But it still only has 2GB of memory which is the same as my netbook! (I might have upgraded my RAM, I can't remember).
Practical Machine Learning Basics with the Simpsons
I'm increasingly surprised at how much code I see without comments. Sometimes hundreds of lines without a single comment. And the author seems to act as if it is a badge of honor. "My code is self documenting" or "I know how it works -- it's obvious to me".

Then the author leaves, and management assigns someone else to take over the code, and he/she flails for months. It seems so inefficient. Management prioritizes shipping features over long-term maintainability and tests.

Are comments considered "old school"?

Ask HN: How can I avoid just making rich people richer?
I've been a professional software developer for 3 years now, but I've been programming for about 6 years prior to that. Both as a hobby, but also as a side-effect of my education in mathematical modelling and decision making.

I love programming and developing applications, but due to my background in mathematics-economics I tend to have a very economical focus on the impact of what I do. To be frank, it is making me depressed.

It's not that I can't generate positive ROI for my time spent. The problem is how it affects society. My job (and education) seems primed to benefit shareholder at the cost of other stakeholders.

Automating people away seriously affects the livelyhood of those affected. To make it worse, cuts in costs often never make a difference to the price of end products, unless the market for those products are very competitive. Prices doesn't simply go down when costs go down. They go down when your main competitors prices go down.

It feel like I'm making everyone slightly worse off, except for my employer.

How can I make a living with my skills, serving the wider public? How can I make a positive difference in other peoples' lives?
