They x-ray (or even gamma-ray) every cm of welds on the natural gas pipelines that crisscross the country.

These pipelines can be over a meter in diameter and perhaps (from my recollection) a couple of cm thickness. Consequently, the x-ray machines are not machines one wants to be near when operating, they are quite powerful.

I learned this during a summer job in college at the research labs for a large gas pipeline company in the early 70's. At the time a "pig" was used to provide the x-rays for checking the welds of under-sea gas pipelines while they were being constructed. This pig was a remotely controlled wheeled device that moved from weld to weld and x-ray film would be put on the outside of the steel pipe for exposure. The pipe segments were welded together on a barge that floated in perhaps the Gulf of Mexico. Because the welding took several separate passes around the pipe it was done in a continuous operation with the pig x-ray as the final stage before the pipe slid off the back of the barge into the sea.

Normally, the pig motored toward the open, working end, of the pipe as new sections where being assembled on the barge. Once, the pig malfunctioned and took off in the wrong direction; it rolled down to the sea-floor. A guy from the pig company had to be flown to the gulf. He was rolled down the pipe lying on something like a skateboard (attached to a rope) to retrieve the pig!!!
"How would run the business / team / org differently?"

Should let you know what's wrong without asking directly.
My gut feeling was more like it should be at least millions of years but my gut was probably thinking in milliseconds or so.
We blame the drivers of cars without headlights on for night time collisions, why would cyclists be any different?
nice, man! comes in handy, looking forward for the new ones. Site looks good as well
Guess you mean Turkey - had to google that. I think if we fell out they'd go to the US to be serviced currently.
Perhaps editing could then be a product sold to the researcher, rather than a reason to yield publishing rights to a single journal.
I made a little checklist for myself here: https://smalldata.tech/blog/2017/03/27/questions-to-ask-at-t...

Maybe there are a few questions that make sense for your role!
Wow that website shows full page ads while reading mid sentence. That's one way for me to nope off their site and never return.
This article mentions a lot of things that "might" or "may" happen, without really any convincing arguments for why these predictions will come to fruition. It's true that dictators make use of centralized knowledge, but it's also true that many of the assumptions of market capitalism assume perfect knowledge and no transaction costs, two assumptions which have never been true in practice but today are much more applicable (knowledge is faster to attain, and transaction costs are smaller today and more directly measurable). So, it seems just as likely to me that markets could be on the verge of being more useful mechanisms than ever.
“...and still makes minimum wage”.
It's being proven that fasting is very beneficial. What about that analogous situation don't you understand, exactly? Suggesting the skin and heart would have undergone natural selection to need breaks from their normal functioning is intellectually disrespectful or plain stupid. Some species actually do change skin, but apparently not so easy for monkeys. You also ignore sexual selection in that case.
I reckon a dynamo hub and good always-on lights is perhaps the best cycling purchase I've made for my commuter bike. No faffing around with charging batteries and blinking lights, just leave it go all the time.

("perhaps" because mudguards are pretty useful too). b&m lights, sensible ones that have a backreflector so you don't get horrible specular lights shining in everyone's eyes.
Sure, I usually set org files up by book/talk > chapter/concept > (any further level of nesting)+. Here are a couple examples. From watching "Abstract" on Netflix I did one entry for the show with a bunch of random notes because there wasn't as much structure to the content. Most of my book notes more or less follow the book > chapter > sub heading pattern. Tech talks usually have a format like talk title > subject > details. I've stuck to using one file for most of my notes the last few years. You should play around with it and see what works best for you.

Reading with a desktop or laptop has been easier for me since it's more familiar. I'm not really a fan of mobile phones or kindle readers. Evince or fbreader work OK on linux. You could add espeak or another TTS tool for speaking text. On OSX there's acrobat with voice over. Screen readers exist but are harder to control. The tools for reading via TTS are pretty primitive right now unfortunately.

I'm pretty bad at syncing notes... I've primarily done it with rsync over ssh. If you save things back to a server and sync from there that could work. Otherwise there's easier stuff like Google Drive or Dropbox.
My first visit to China was in 1999, and glasses were already common back then, especially in the big cities I went to. The way they did eye sight exams at the eye glass shop was horrendous, however (my friend got a pair while we were there). It really is kids studying too much, I agree, but it could have also been TV back then and other things.
> Also, how is coinhive still a thing?

It's too bad coinhive is so easy to abuse. I'd much rather live in a world where websites are financed with my electric bill rather than my data.
New Manufacturing Technique Prints Electronics Like Newspapers – Design News
Because the ruling party is riding the anti-intellectual wave. It's about as surprising as waking up to find HN flooded by Trump supporters or Brexit Leavers, for example.
I know it seems superficial, but the usage of the word "y'all" makes Elsevier lose a lot of credibility in my mind.
Rise and fall of the platform business
And here's the direct evidence that you are intentionally misunderstanding me. I said absolutely nothing about government intervention on social media platforms.

And it seems to be used mostly for hook-ups. Most people probably can't think of any other reason to look for strangers nearby.
I have friends, who are adults, who have never cooked. If I put them in my kitchen tomorrow and expected them to feed themselves, they'd be eating burned cereal and cold beans.

Kids always have inherently less context in a situation. They'll get the context when you give it to them, but they just take a bit more time to ramp up. That doesn't mean you shouldn't teach them - since if you don't teach them now they won't magically know in a decade or two.
Not that I notice any more, took me about a year for everything to settle though. What really helped me (and people will think I'm crazy, but here it goes), both mentally, emotionally and physically; was Yoga. The real deal, not the hipster kind.

Carrying heavy things and performing unpredictable, physical activities changed. Recently tried surfing for example, but since I can't control the motions enough to protect my spine and the price for a mistake is so high it takes the fun out of it. And I stopped climbing for mostly the same reasons.

One day at a time, you'll be fine :)

> UBNT is worth consideration, particularly for those wearing plenty of hats already who are ready to cut down on cognitive load a bit.

I've been running UniFi APs for years, but recently switched from my pfSense appliances to USG routers. I lost a lot of flexibility (especially for things like VPN configuration), but the simplicity and seamless management have been a huge time-saver.

I am puzzled by some of their new offerings—do they really expect any serious commercial customers to install lighting powered by PoE? Perhaps they're onto something innovative, but it seems like a distraction from their core business.

Why is there even a need to fall back onto something?
Migrating to another platform he considered less fronting and superficial was his choice, but I don't see the need nor appeal in that, personally.
Just how vile and dangerous the Thames was in Victorian times can't be underplayed though (my mother remains pretty vocal about how terrible it was in the 60s!). The idea of moving Parliament out of London was even considered as the smell from the Thames was affecting daily life as far upstream as Westminster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stink

An interesting aside related to the Princess Alice disaster is that the main northern sewer was only finally fully working months before the disaster and its outflow was very close to the crash site. Work began in the next decade to purify the sewage rather than just dumping it into the Thames there.

But I'd argue (and this is just a hunch) that sewage was "deadly" then in the sense that if the water then were as clean as now, the death toll would have been far lower, especially as the crash happened so close to (admittedly rather muddy) land.
None of those cyclists are riding in a particularly sensible position, it's patently unclear where they are going, are they in lane 1 or lane 2, or moving from one to another?

Believe me you’re in total control over your credit score, no matter how low or high it is but the cost of poor credit is massive. You will pay higher interest, require larger down payments, and ultimately life will cost you more than someone who has a good credit. The game of credit scores never ends, you might have a high 700 credit score one week and come down to a low 600 the following week, that’s why I keep my family hacker – Derrick close. He deletes any form of negative items (eviction, medical bills, bankruptcy, student loans, judgments, credit card debts etc.) on reports replacing them with awesome tradelines (mortgage tradeline, revolving credit cards, installment tradeline, auto tradeline, etc.) that will help boost your score more effectively, efficiently and less costly. He adds or removes any info on credit profiles, I guess he can hack the devil himself, LoL. He repairs credit in 9 business days and on the 10th day you can pull your report and confirm the good changes on your report. Contact him today and you will be glad you did.

Optimise your website in 5 simple steps
Partly, the instinct is about feeling trashy, and having to replace worn-out old junk as it accumulates stains, scuff marks, battle damage.

It feels wasteful to have to discard perfectly useful items, because they look worn out. We all know that black, dark items tend show the least amount of wear, and in the interest of efficient frugality, some of us gravitate toward that instinct.

You look at a white t-shirt, and you know it's going to show pit stains by the end of the year. A black t-shirt might show some white accumulation inside the armpits, but not outside, and you really are only going to have to trash it, once some holes show up. Same with socks.

So too with hi-viz stuff. You just don't want to buy something, and throw it out, the moment it gives a sense of unintended imperfection. It's more an equipment maintenance perspective, than a live, situational awareness point of view. The best equipment is the stuff you have, and the stuff you have is the stuff you keep.

Being a little OCD, but that's what's going on under the hood, from my own perspective.
Efficiently Checking If a Number Has Two Consecutive Bits Set
Even the "minimal" A-check process happens often enough to avoid a 248-day limit, and typically grounds an aircraft overnight.

This is a little familiar with the rocket failure at Dhahran[1] of 1991 resulting in 28 deaths. The Patriot missile battery at Dhahran had been in operation for 100 hours, by which time the system's internal clock had drifted by one-third of a second. Due to the missile's speed this was equivalent to a miss distance of 600 meters.

Two weeks earlier, on February 11, 1991, the Israelis had identified the problem and informed the U.S. Army and the PATRIOT Project Office, the software manufacturer. As a stopgap measure, the Israelis had recommended rebooting the system's computers regularly. The manufacturer supplied updated software to the Army on February 26.

Also, specifically: How are big decisions made? When two individuals disagree about a technical choice, how is the conflict resolved?
And you are pretending that the Chinese don't have nuclear ICBMs, and they also can take out the entire pacific fleet in hours with antiship ICBMs.

As for the air force, drones will take them out, and any land forces then won't have mobility or logistical support in Asia or the Pacific.

The air force and navy as currently constituted are just corporate welfare programs.
Source? Are you talking about wireless speed or wired speed? I am asking because I have never experienced such a huge limitation caused by the CPU bottleneck.

I have performed some simple tests using `iperf` tool on Archer C7 with OpenWrt and it was able to sustain wired network speeds of around 750 Mb/s and wireless speeds (IEEE 802.11ac) of around 300 Mb/s (maybe even more, but I do not remember exactly).
Except that you don't have meetups where people get all excited about the HDMI-enabled future. I completely agree with you about the current state of blockchain, but it has captured people's imaginations.
I always start tmux using in a shell function like this

tms () {
session_name="${1:-sean}"
tmux new-session -A -s "${session_name}"
}

What that does is create a new session or attach to one if it exists. This makes it really easy to detach a session or to log into the same session in multiple windows or whatever.

I can pass a name for the session but if I don't it defaults to my name (so when I'm on a multi-user box my session doesn't clash with other people's). This makes it easy to have separate "work" and "personal" sessions or whatever.

I think for "tmux new-session -A" to work you need a reasonably recent tmux but anything from the last couple of years or so should work.
I would never honestly answer #1. In my head I know my honest answer today, but out of context I would never attempt to explain the history with a candidate. If the candidate joins the team, then what? Are some offices so impersonal that this doesn't become an issue?
Maybe adding generics to Go is about syntax after all
I find it funny that this article, or even the HN comments at the moment of me writing this one, do not mention SciHub. It's effectively the most radical open-access plan for science paper nowadays after all.

SciHub is the original reason why open-access plans like this one have a chance of working at all. The authors of this paper simply announce that the SciHub approach has won and it's time to stop pretending otherwise and break the status quo of modern science publishing.
JavaScript is probably also more valuable than it was in 1998. Still pretty much backwards compatible, too.

In this situation, I learnt (driving school in France) to first look to the left, and once it's free then look to the right. If it's free, go.

I have to admit I don't remember the explanation I was given then but it made sense, and as far as I know everyone's taught to do that here.

In a car or on a bike, it doesn't matter. You also do that at pedestrian crossings.
On occasion in its news articles, Nature News has stated that it is editorially independent from the rest of Nature. I don't have a link to that statement, unfortunately, but I have seen it when Nature News has to discuss items that impact Nature publications.

Edit: here's a statement from a 2016 article: Nature’s news and comment team is editorially independent of the publisher’s research editorial teams [1]

Massively Composable Decentralised Games
So, this is a good thread to ask - anyone ever try eye exercises in earnest?

The most logical one to do for me seems to be the near-focus, far-focus shifting. If it's a traditional muscle issue, then that should train it. (Though it seems that science can't decide whether muscles relax or contract to focus, and if they relax, it seems training them might make things worse).

I have tried keeping up 10 minutes of training a day for a while, and I didn't notice consistent improvement, but noticed great variance day-to-day.
Yes, physical violence is extreme no matter who it's deployed against (even if they are heinous people).
OpenBSD on the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th Gen)
It's still helpful to know that this is the "right way" to do it. For years, my wife struggled with falling asleep, and was jealous of my ability to just stop thinking and log out.

She told me that she wasn't able to just stop thinking. She went to sleep by distracting herself with a book, TV, or tablet. Her approach was to do that restful activity until the intense thoughts of the past day and plans for tomorrow dropped off and were replaced with sudoku numbers or the TV program that were calm enough to sleep, or did those things from midnight until 3-5am when she was so exhausted she couldn't think about anything anymore and just slept for a couple hours.

The insomnia got really bad after our first kid. She tried changing diets, cutting out blue lights with tablet apps or bulbs for reading that were so warm they were basically orange-red, changing her soda habit to eliminate caffeine after noon and food after 6pm, changed mattresses and pillows, changed bedroom temperatures, blankets, and sleepwear, took melatonin, benadryl, and other sleep aids, ran white noise and fans...it didn't work.

But eventually (after seeing a doctor) the root cause was isolated to that reading/TV/tablet habit. It doesn't help. What you have to do to fall asleep per this article, the parent comment, and my wife's doctor, is to stop thinking. Meditative breathing exercises were eventually the solution we reached, but it all basically amounts to training your brain to stop thinking thoughts that aren't about your going-to-sleep process. The process, not the annoyance of your inability to sleep and the tiredness you'll feel in the morning and how long has it been and what is that clicking sound and did I forget to lock the doors and I feel a little thirsty but I don't want to have to pee. Kill the errant thoughts, go to sleep.
Show HN: Karabiner Generator (DSL to easily modify Karabiner configuration)
I was fascinated by how life changing rebinding my keyboard to do what I want has been in my life. After I discovered the power of hyper keys (i.e. making caps lock into escape on single press and cmd+opt+shift modifier when caps lock is held), my workflow changed fundamentally.

I took this idea further and have defined every single key on my keyboard into hyper keys. So for example, holding w key and then pressing k will open Safari for me or if I press j while w is held, iTerm will get opened. This ability to create hyper keys for every key, allows me to activate any action I want on my mac in less than a second at any time.

One problem however is that the app I use to achieve this (Karabiner Elements) is quite complex so I decided to build a special language with nice API that would allow to make any kind of modifications on the keyboard with ease.

Here is the project:
https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/karabiner-generator

Instructions on how you can run it for yourself are in the README of the project.

Let me know your thoughts on this project. My goal with this is to bring the power of keyboard modifications to everyone.
