The ZX80/81 used Don Lancaster's "Cheap Video and Lying To the Machine" method of graphics output: http://laughtonelectronics.com/Arcana/KimKlone/BrideOfSon%20...

Essentially, the CPU executes each line of video, jumping to the start of each line of cells. The video system latches each byte onto a shift register and displays it.

But the CPU is tricked -- NOPs are forced onto its data bus right before it decodes the instruction. So it merrily marches along fetching successive bytes for the video subsystem, without interpreting them.

That is, until a certain bit of the character code is seen, then the CPU is allowed to execute the instruction and terminate the scanline (usually HALT on the ZX). This process repeats over and over for each scanline.

As a result, it's pretty tricky to program animations. There's not much CPU time left for anything while a frame is being displayed.

Monopolies are hard to avoid doing business, and some form of proportional representation reduces the number of people who have to agree with you before you change the makeup of a government.
Is it necessary to give them access to the whole google drive for this to work?

If so, this is a non-starter for me.
Unless I'm missing something, the encodings are different at bits 6 and 7. Looking at xlogicx's post, MOV has them set to 0 while ROR has them at 1.

On a higher level, this post got me to realize that there could be ops (in this case nops) that have equivalent effects but are encoded as different instructions. Even though registers might state-change equivalently, I can see that the internal processor state might mutate differently. Maybe one nop encoding is faster, and maybe the caches get hit differently, etc. As an assembler, what reasons might there be to prefer one encoding over another?

When designing an architecture, I can imagine putting a "fast nop" in the instruction encoder that essentially just short circuits around it. Is this something that's done in practice?
Facebook's David Marcus on Brian Acton's Departure
Containers are basically a few syscalls wrapped in a ball of mud, pledge is containment and the Linux somewhat broken and ugly alternative seccomp bpf is used in most containers _but_ not properly as most containers are bundles of software (multiple binaries) which makes it hard to contain a container (ha) as you have to allow more syscalls than needed. A better way would just use .preinit_array and inject a .seccomp section, .unshare, etc to create per binary containment or just chain-load everything in one big line.
In the case of fog or other low clouds though, airplanes are overwhelmingly likely to be following a localizer or GPS/RNAV approach, making this type of incident much less likely.

Nothing is Repeatable? You could repeat everything he's doing somewhere else like Africa or South America and call it YOY. The better question is: what can you learn from other people's successes and failures?

I saw three things I didn't know, off the top of my head:

1) India/China have a demand for budget travel that's clean because apparently there wasn't enough supply?
2) There is still apparently global demand because they're expanding. So, you could go copy what they're doing somewhere else.
3) His success started with a booking app?

As for the title, sure, but it's just a copy of the article title which is pretty SOP on HN.

He found a niche in the market with demand that lacked supply and filled the gap. Go find a niche.
If your only comparison is that it is rare in terms of odds, then that is even more of a reason to write about attaining such success since it is so difficult to achieve.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is similarly difficult but I'm sure you wouldn't say that it's just a lottery and not worth writing about.
I think Amsterdam (and more recently, Rotterdam) are not representative for the rest of the country though.

A lot of the problems in Amsterdam are just because there are too many tourists. There are currently about 18 million/year. It's a small densely populated country, so 18 million is comparatively a lot.

Problems in other nearby cities (like Rotterdam) happen because prices in Amsterdam are rising, so people relocate to Rotterdam.

After over a decade of aggressively promoting tourism, the city of Amsterdam is now starting to realize that this is actually creating a lot of problems, and is now trying to limit tourism somewhat. Not a moment too soon if you ask me.
Most YC partners do take this idea to heart. Lots of partners we talked to were excited by the fact that we're "easily dismissed by incumbents and extremely useful to outsiders".

But can you easily roll out that new firmware to 20 Wifi nodes spread over 3 offices in 3 different cities?

Just because patches are available, doesn't mean that someone's going to take the time to apply them. Having a central management console makes this much easier. Upgrade one node, make sure it works, then roll out to the rest of the nodes one by one with one click.

One more thing is required - the different APs must all be on the same layer 2 network. 802.11 (WiFi) clients, by design, assume that all APs broadcasting the same SSID provide access to the same 802 (Ethernet & friends) network, and so assume their DHCP leases and TCP connections etc. will carry over. If you break that assumption then roaming will cause issues.
Passive-aggressiveness implies avoiding direct conflict. The author of this post refers to Acton not speaking up or making a good argument one way or the other, letting things evolve while resisting passively.

Also, the author is being very direct about what he thinks of Acton's behavior, he's not being passive-aggressive.
I'm not claiming that it is arbitrary; quite the contrary. There is a very narrow range of acceptable views on HN - and your reply only underscores that fact. People call posts "political" in a political thread when they disagree - and rarely feel the need to present evidence for their own views.

And since you brought it up - in a manor so truncated - that post of mine that got me banned was 90% about how biological gender does exist. This emphasizes my point about how narrow the range of acceptable opinions are here on HN. None of the words composing the portion that you've quoted are even mean or offensive - and yes, I was implying that propaganda must be used to make someone argue so confidently without evidence against what even establishment biologists overwhelmingly believe (that biological gender exists). And furthermore, since you bring it up, another post of mine on a similarly "political" topic was met with with this supportive reply:
"Speaking as a gay minority, I totally agree with your comment."

So within the code of conduct, I assume you are referring to, "Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

I started off sarcastically, but you ignore the rest of my post which is substantive. The comment I replied to began with the words, "race does not exist." If you search on scholar.google.com for the terms 'race' and 'biological' you get 2,640,000 results. And is it really so radical that I met a comment dismissive of the discussion within 2,640,000 peer-reviewed search results with sarcasm?

But admins decided to cherry pick support or lack thereof for my comments, and then censored me. I don't know if this will be seen either since I am shadow banned - and the commenter who alerted me to the fact that I was shadow banned was then banned as well (for making that comment). After being banned I Googled for other people banned from HN from posting outside of the acceptable range of opinions and I found a load of them - and I don't think HN audience would appreciate that you're deciding to follow this censorship tread that we're seeing on YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and many more. HN is framed as a more open community, but my experience here reveals a safe-space of increasing proportions.

For sure running k8s is difficult, I don't think anybody would disagree with me there, but of course you can buy GKE. I have to point out that GKE is the only decent k8s implementation, EKS and AKS are not real contenders. Digital Ocean will launch their service, I've seen it and it's good and I hope they do well. But in general you can't really expect the Kubernetes landscape to change much from what it is today, which is basically GKE good, everything else meh. Why? Kubernetes is not really a proven business model for cloud providers yet. It costs the cloud provider more to offer Kubernetes and it not significantly drawing more users in (and consuming more). The obvious example of this is AWS lack luster support and commitment to EKS. If there was a big business opportunity Amazon would be doing more. I have no concrete proof but ECS and Fargate stand to make much more money for Amazon (just a guess). So in general the argument that running on GKE isn't bad I don't think holds up because GKE is the only decent option. DO has yet to launch, but they can't really standup to GKE because you have to look at things holistically. Just running the cluster is like 10% of the whole solution. You need to then figure out how to do authentication, authorization, load balancing (built in service LB and ingress are not sufficient), monitoring, logging, and disaster recovery. Google has a product in each of these areas, but they have 100x more resources than DO. Basically nobody can (or is willing to) put the money into K8s like Google does and Google has yet to prove that their investment is worth it.

That's not to say I don't think Kubernetes will survive. I do think it will survive and it will be around for awhile. Because it's a good fit for enterprise right now. Not a good cloud provider business, not good for small dev shops, but good for enterprise.

I cannot remember why exactly rss stopped fitting my needs. I was using a standalone reader before iphone was a thing, then google reader, and then began to simply check my 3-5 sites at non-busy times. I think that for HN I miss at least 1/2 of all topics since it is “a fast board”, among others. I don’t really want to be overwhelmed by all these events and knowing only things that are top-20 right now is actually okay for me. Rss is instant and has no “top/discussed” conception.

I’m not your auditory though probably.

Formula to compute the area of a polygon
Like others, I think this is a problem with programming in general. Reading a lot of code, you will see patterns where people are using the things they know. I have seen in Lisp, APL (particularly k), Prolog and Forth (but also Haskell) that people spend far more time thinking and reworking possible solutions than you see in Python, C# and C++. With k especially, there is this drive to work to Arthur his dream of not having to scroll. I never got the write only aspect either; when you get used to the symbols and tenseness, it is really not that hard. I find it really a pleasure to not have to click through 100s of files. Especially as I get older and my memory gets worse, APL/k/j are really working; you do really not have to remember things as they are there, in front of you all the time while you work on the next part.

If I understand correctly, these particles are entering the earth from space around, say, the North Pole, and the coming out the other side in Antarctica?

If so, is it only out of Antarctica? Would that mean they are coming from a specific direction in space?

Why can't we observe them simply as they come out of space? Is there something about the process of moving through the earth that makes them more detectable?

These may be stupid questions, feel free to vote this down..

Edit: if I understand correctly it seems like it's happenstance and ANITA just happened to be above Antarctica when the cosmic rays shot up through it on those particular occasions, I think
But that goes here too. You can write software with Java knowledge from school. But doing things efficiently for your goal (large data sets, real time processing etc) requires skill. How is that different than Java (or Python, or C++); if you do things in your 20 unnamed functions, your software will most likely not be pleasant to read or execute. And the 'unnamed' is really not true; you are tripping over the fact that these are symbols, but these symbols do have names in APL/j/k. And, like learning a new natural language, you really do not need that much time learning them. All languages have this issue, the symbols is not the difficult factor here. If I do not know dictionaries are called dictionaries/hashmaps, my Python code will likely end up a horror show.

I don't know if it's apocryphal or not, but one of my favorite first-principles stories is the jet engine.

At some point in the 1930s a paper was written arguing from first principles that a jet engine could not work to propel a plane. Axial flow compressors were to inefficient and radial-flow compressors generated too much drag.

What the author didn't know is that another already written paper had come up with significant improvements to axial-flow compressors by using airfoil-shaped blades, which combined with improved metallurgy was more than sufficient for a working turbojet.

So it was a perfectly sound argument for why something was impossible, but it was still wrong because the assumptions were changing.

The tech industry looks like this all the time; in many of pg's essays he mentions that a lot of successful ideas look like toys, and part of the reason for that is this core concept; as the underlying assumptions change something can morph from a toy to big business overnight.
k3s is not intended to be a competitor, but let's say I wanted to build it out to compete with systems. Swarm excels in UX and cluster management. It is easy to run and use. But it is incomplete in features and functionality. So k3s addresses the cluster management issues and has tons of features. It makes k8s easy to run, but it still has Kubernetes UX which is quite difficult. So in the end I think it is a wash between k3s and Swarm. You either get hard to use (k3s) or incomplete (Swarm). I have a different project Rio (https://github.com/rancher/rio) that attempts to address UX (and it's built on k3s). So Rio could possibly be a system that is easy to use, powerful, and simple to run. I think Rio could be something that is better than both raw k8s and Swarm for regular users, but it's a very early.
