I really hope so. I think it's likely, but Trump is unpredictable.

I'm an extreme libertarian (anarcho-capitalist/voluntaryist), and much of what Trump said on the campaign trail was spot on. the biggest problem I have with him is that he often makes very strong statements, then goes on to directly contradict them. From my perspective, he's either completely unconcerned about keeping his promises or he changes his mind so frequently that there's no practical difference.

Trump repeatedly promised to support medical usage in particular, which would mean removing cannabis from Schedule 1. The DEA failed to do so.

His appointment of Jeff Sessions was a huge blow to a lot of issues that I (and many others) feel strongly about and that Trump had vocally supported. Marijuana policy included.

For what it's worth, I don't think it'll substantially hurt his re-election chances. My social circles are pretty much Trump's core constituency, and for them, his SCOTUS picks were the core issue. So far, both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have been pretty much exactly what he promised. Granted, only time will tell if they stay the course that they've set, but they remain originalists during their tenure as Justices, but so far that's been the case with Gorsuch. As long as the Senate confirms Kavanaugh and neither of them "pull a Kennedy" and move to the left after being seated, I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would cause people to stay home on Election Day, much less vote against him.

Hopefully this "Marijuana Policy Coordination Committee" will go the way of his "Second Amendment Coalition". The SAC was comprised of all the right people from my side of the issue, and Trump was outspoken about his support of repealing restrictions - but the SAC itself quietly faded away, and even the press release was removed from his site last May.
snprintf is hardly safe. It does guarantee null termination, so that is progress, but it requires the caller to pass the buffer size. As I mention in the "More typing means more errors" section of the article software developers are endlessly creative about ways to pass the wrong buffer size. They usually pass the right buffer size, but 99.9% correct still means a lot of bugs. These bugs can be avoided by using a template function to infer the destination buffer size. A template wrapper around snprintf would work very nicely.
The loading and pseudo-solidification can cause residual internal stresses that change the dynamic response so that a small signal input gets a big change as a result.

I'd imagine that the exact values are not monitored, so that what is written as "in the hold" and what is actually there are subject to natural variation, which can be asymmetric, and thus theory and practice are not the same thing.

If seawater gets into the mix, it will have more water.

There are thermal phase changes in the liquefication. It can behave very differently at 10 deg C warmer than one expects from 0 deg C warmer.

Over a relatively long trip, with agitation, the mean particle size is going to change. Big particles are going to break into smaller particles. This is going to change the liquefication physics.

If someone such as myself wanted to understand the philosophy of functional languages, do you have any book you'd recommend?

The entire concept is only kept alive today thanks to the golf industry, imho. The upper crust- politicians, bankers, the wealthy generally- like golfing. Poor people don't golf and often are unable to pay whatever fees are needed to even enter golf clubs or buy the needed equipment.

What does that have to do with golf? If the sun sets later, relative to the time you get off work, you can get more rounds of golf in. Now, you might ask "why not just leave work earlier?". Because then you look like a slacker who leaves work early to go golfing! But if all of society is told to get to and leave work early by an hour (relative to the sun's actual rise and set) then you're leaving at the same time as everyone else.
I'm not sure. That's a huge issue which I'm woefully under-qualified to have a strong opinion on. I do know that Switzerland has generous social programs for citizens but allows people to live and work there without full citizenship. Which is one partial solution. Though they now have the pretty ridiculous problem of having 3rd generation Swiss immigrants who aren't Swiss citizens.

Problems of immigration and citizenship go all the way back to republican Rome. The answers are crappy and few epspecially with several global humanitarian crises underway.
This reminds of a story I read a while back about India's spy agency (RAW) allegedly kidnapping a retired Lt. Colonel from Pakistan's spy agency (ISI) in Nepal using his LinkedIn information as a 'job bait'. From [1]:

> The complainant alleges that some months ago a person called Mark Thomas called his father on his phone number 033434443 from a number in the UK 0044-7451722 and offered him a job at the Strategic Solutions Consultancy firm.

> It now transpires that Lt Col Zahir had put up his bio-data on LinkedIn and some other websites seeking a job opportunity three years after he retired from the Pakistan army.

In short, LinkedIn's data is very, very valuable.

They did not compare a generational GC with bump allocation in the nursery to their current GC. Without that, it's not a fair comparison.

Furthermore, there isn't much of a relevant difference between stack allocated and nursery allocated objects, because they have to be scanned either way--either as roots or via a Cheney scan. The difference is only in sweeping, which is incredibly fast for nursery objects.

What's really important about generational GC is that heap allocation becomes nearly as cheap as stack allocation. That's a game changer.

It wasn't my idea. My idea was that it shouldn't be dismissed for the reason you presented without a citation.
Some languages allow spaces in variable names by using quotation. To some extent Ruby, Kotlin, and SQL come to mind.
I thought I had heard at one point that Industrial Age Japan was responsible for some substantial fraction of mercury contamination of the ocean but I can’t find a citation for that.

What I did find is Minamata disease, which is a particular set of symptoms from severe mercury poisoning, documented in a town in a bay on the western end of Japan.

That's a personal wiki. I think it's invaluable, and since I started building mine with org-mode I feel much more accomplished. That's because some tasks' natural outcome is a knowledge bit, which you can't store otherwise.

In the old times, many Germanic scholars would build a similar thing using flashcards. It was called a zettelkasten.
Clarification: I was talking about using excess electricity from shore based solar units. This would give operators somewhere to dump excess power cheaply (preventing negative electricity rates), all while providing fuel that's easy to store and usable in applications where batteries wouldn't work.

Obviously at this point fuel cells cannot produce the power output that diesel engines can at a given weight. But your power estimates on what a hydrogen fuel cell can do are off by a bit. Some quick searching finds portable 1MW fuel cells, existing 11MW power plants, and a planned 80MW power plant that's being constructed soon in South Korea. Obviously the latter probably weight too much for a ship today, but as the weight comes down that becomes a possibility.

This is an interesting argument. Are you "hacking"/"circumventing" a gatekeeper system by doing exactly what it wants you to do, just using a computer instead of a human?
Pardon my ignorance, but what would happen if you just divided the hold into smaller compartments? That way sloshing would only move things slightly to one side.
Problem is that there aren't any widely-accepted acronyms for time zones in the United States that don't include the current daylight savings time status. Eastern is way longer than EDT.

Ask HN: Best freelance aggregator?
I'm currently in a sort of a pickle and need to get some freelances for the next two or three months. I have 10+ years experience as a web, mobile and systems developer, mainly in Python, C/++, Javascript and Objective-C/Swift.

Can you recommend me some trustworthy freelance aggregator sites where I can find some quick gigs?
Hard agree, I just feel faster using DDG. Every once in a while I need to throw a !g to find what I want and that isn't a huge deal breaker for me. For 90% of searches it works great.
I'm an American on Eastern time and I work pretty routinely with people in other US time zones. I get this pretty much all the time. I think people think that putting the "Standard" in makes it sound more "official".
I have never seen an autonomously built concrete house, but building with ICF forms is basically like stacking giant Styrofoam legos, and the pouring concrete in the middle.

No argument there. The government did. In response to Telegram's stance.

I mean, we know that the government (the Russian government in particular, or the government in general) is evil. Do we want to unleash their evil upon ourselves, that's what I am asking.
Your captor is constantly looking for excuses to escalate things. There is nothing you can do to keep things the way they are.
You have to conduct a search then go edit the keyword - in Firefox you can right click a search bar if you wish to add it. Mucking around in the settings is less convenient - and since it uses the domain of the site as the keyword - I find it is always necessary to change the keyword.

I use both browsers pretty extensively - Chromium at work and Firefox at home. Some internal tools don't work with Firefox very well, since they're only tested on Chrome.

Where I work we must clock in 7h36m and a mandatory 30 minutes long lunchtime (and an additional 15 minutes break at 10:15) a day.

You can come in between 8:00 and 9:00 and leave between 16:00 and 18:00. The whole thing is beaned by an electronic box with a finger scanner.

Works pretty well. Tacit rule is overtime is used to extend an out-of-office lunch break but it gets converted into an obligatory off day when you hit the 8h bar.

You are not supposed to make more than 1 day and a half per month this way.
I use DDG as my primary search engine, so I prefer the bangs as it fits my flow.

I search in DDG and if I come up with nothing I go to the search form and add an appropriate bang to the front of my keywords and voilà, no need to re-type my query.
> But your power estimates on what a hydrogen fuel cell can do are off by a bit

My estimate didn't assume the ship left the shore with any hydrogen fuel. I (apparently incorrectly) assumed you meant that the ship would generate its own hydrogen during the day from excess solar while it was in transport.
> Don't know where this comes from..!

I've heard this before. I'm pretty sure it dates back to the days before refrigeration when the milk was transported from cow to consumer every morning.
Did you not use the results you got along the way to learn which is which?
It would cost a bunch of money but go part of the way towards fixing the problem.

But if you're going to spend the money, maybe you could entirely fix the problem. You'd have to run the numbers!
I did the same, bought a magic trackpad and preferred mouse. But I think the problem is placement. Keeping trackpad to the right of keyboard somehow makea it harder to use for me.

Might be a stupid question, but why is it always Telegram that gets talked about? Are other secure communications services like Signal, Keybase, etc already blocked?
A team cannot reduce scope without involving the customer. And if you have the misfortune that you're dealing with someone who thinks difficulty is negotiable, you're in a real pickle.

You're missing the critical point - measure the estimation error and you'll see how hopeless almost all estimates are. In practice, they do not improve.

oh boy. So far all the responses here are negative.

Look, nobody wants to see non-merit-based appointments. The seemingly rational argument generally amounts to, 2 wrongs don't equal a right. The problem is that natural bias by existing boards and existing founders leads to over-selection of males. In many of those cases, a female would do equally as well.

Choosing the best candidate isn't a strict rank order function. Each candidate has many intangible / hard to quantify positive qualities they bring to the table, and there's always a tradeoff of which qualities are the most important. I'd wager that in 99% of cases, it's impossible to choose a single best candidate.

Instead of assuming that forcing females onto the board leads to picking less-qualified candidates, why can't people assume that females are just as qualified as males, and that this legislation just forces a representation more in line with demographics? ie, when given 2 "equal" candidates (and I'll argue there are never just 2, there are often "many"), a female candidate will be preferred so as to bring gender representation closer to population demographics.

Please do keep in mind also that board membership is not generally merit-based. The old-boy network is real.

And in practical terms, this will have near-zero effect as far as HN crowd is concerned. Tech companies incorporate in Delaware. Companies that are incorporated here that want to reject this legislate will re-incorporate elsewhere.
You're right, not a referendum, I used the wrong term.

But you're wrong to assume it's as representative as a newspaper poll. It might not be binding but this doesn't change the fact that it's representative of people's wishes. A newspaper poll is not representative simply because each publication has a very specific audience. This consultation did not (unless you count "having internet" as very specific).
And this is probably why Iceland doesn't have DST - no point in having it that far north. (Although they're on UTC year-round when they're "naturally" on the western edge of UTC-1, so you could say they have year-round DST.)
Steve Kerr said it's common for players at the top, said Draymond was the same way. I imagine Jordan as well.

Kerr: “Yeah. Not all of them [laughs]. Draymond would be the same way.

“We’ll be watching tape of a game from, we played Houston in December or something, and guys will be like, ‘Oh yeah, I remember that. This is what happened next.’

“So I don’t think it’s that rare. But the best players generally remember the most and have the sharpest memories.
What I meant is that even if he was right with his statements entirely, even if Google did bias search results against him, his reasoning of 'they did it because they didn't like me' will drive people to side with Google because he is just blaming everyone who is against him of wrongdoing.

He shifts focus from a more general issue that could have much wider effects and directs it into the Trump Vortex where everything is either pro-Trump or anti-Trump and you have to pick a side and that's what it's all about. That is why I think his rhetoric is so destructive - Trump will be gone 2-6 years from now, maybe even sooner, who knows, but Google will likely be around much longer than that.

It’s a compromise between structural and nominal typing to boost code reuse without locking yourself prematurely into structural typing. It’s been tried before and has been given different names.

Personally I’m fond of it. It’s one of several ways to blur the line between “is a” and “has a” relationships. We used to go out of our way to distinguish the two (eg in UML) but it has fallen out of favor.

A coworker long ago convinced me that improvements to delegation would be coming soon to new languages and unfortunately this is one of the first times I’ve seen it happen close to the way he hoped.
Social proofs will become more valuable (imho) as we move toward a Web3.0 hybrid identity model where the identity layer, data layer, and application layer are seperate and we have taken ownership of our personal data. Keybase, Blockstack and others working on the Web of Trust concept, are establishing the means for us to prove ownership of our social media accounts by cross posting uniquely identified tokenized messages which link back to provable account owners. This is one way towards solving "fake news", and introduced attribution and attestation across multiple identities. The more accounts you've linked and proved, the more trustworthy your communications through those channels.

This is all anecdotal, but something like 90% of my searches are fine in DDG. The rest are for highly specific searches in narrow fields where there just aren't many results at all, or where there's lots of results in another language e.g. Japanese. Google is better at filtering those out.
Loading the cargo into close-packed hexagonal storage silos would prevent it from shifting too much during transport, and even if it did liquify, it wouldn't slide too far out of balance.

You can fill/empty these of granular cargo using large diameter hoses.

You could also create one or two special storage bins that can be rotated to an arbitrary degree to help right the ship if it gets into trouble. They're carrying ridiculous amounts of ballast, why not put some of it to use as a counter-weight?
I wonder if it's a function of being able to focus.
