Well... you can still execute the OR essentially via BFS vs DFS... Spend some "cycles" or steps executing one path, then the other, then keep alternating. Eventually you will hit the termination (if it exists).

Or essentially, you can always simulate parallel algorithms on sequential hardware.

Of course you are correct if the sequential OR is executed naively :-)

...or if you force side-effect free short-circuiting within the sequential OR execution. But then it wouldn't really the same OR (as in the parallel case), now would it?

The problem is that the Church-Turing thesis is not rigorously defined, and it was in the attempt to rigorously define the parameters that the research in the video was done.

I think that qualitatively we can agree that the ruler-and-compass construction of the square root of two is an algorithm. It's a repeatable procedure that can be described in a finite set of steps, and will always yield a provably correct answer. Whereas "waving a hand" is not an algorithm, but the same qualitative definition.

The speaker wrote a paper that proved the Church-Turing thesis for sequential algorithms, primarily by defining in strict terms what a sequential algorithm is. Ruler-and-compass constructions are not sequential algorithms by this definition, and the difficulty in specifying the parameters for a generalized "algorithm" is apparently what leads him to the conclusion that the Church-Turing thesis cannot be true in general.
Assignment is supposed to perform a deep copy because otherwise you need to be aware of the implementation of the object you are copying, which may or may not allocate data on the heap. By forcing a deep copy, all assignments have identical semantics – you obtain a new, independent copy of the resource.

You could say, "well, developers can just adopt a uniform semantics for what parts of objects are considered 'shallow' vs. 'deep'", but now the compiler can generate correct default copy operations in many fewer cases, since the rule is arbitrary vs. simply "copy everything".
I've witnessed same effect in the US Military. The problem is, and always was, they're spending other people's money. They don't need to make the best long-term decision, they need to make the 'what fits in my budget this quarter' decision.

Bill Joy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Joy) is another super programmer with numerous crucial projects(vi, parts of BSD Unix, stuff at Sun, etc) under his belt.

One of many Bill Joy legends:
BBN had a big contract to implement TCP/IP, but their stuff didn't work, and grad student Joy's stuff worked. So they had this big meeting and this grad student in a T-shirt shows up, and they said, "How did you do this?" And Bill said, "It's very simple — you read the protocol and write the code"

You can apply this with JS and check the href, although you can do that with CSS as well.

From your other post, you might have been a bit tired due to sleep deprivation, so don't be too hard on yourself for not getting it ;)

As for the expression, you just have to expand it:

y+dy = (x+dx)^-2
= 1 / (x+dx)^2
= 1 / (x^2 + 2xdx + d^2x)
= 1 / [x^2 * (1 + 2dx/x + d^2x / x^2)]
= 1 / [x^2 * (1 + dx/x)^2]
= [x^2 * (1 + dx/x)^2]^-1
= x^-2 * (1 + dx/x)^-2

It looks like a bit of a jump at first, but he just skipped the expansion of the expression. When I see this kind of thing, it helps me to just mess around with both start and end to see if I can find a way to get from one to the other.
FWIW, Tor browser has had it disabled for years. Caching and anonymity are almost always at odds.

For timing attacks, I think the required sample size of first connection to third party would be too large to reasonably exploit. You have to see if your first attempt does just a couple of TCP handshake messages shorter, future attempts would send the session ID from the first in client hello. There's too much between the third party and your user's browser for you to make any assumptions about just one loaded resource's TLS shortcut.

You need state tracking to build a masquerading NAT (or it won't know which machine to route reply packets to), and if you have state tracking, you can also build a stateful firewall, which will achieve the same thing.

Stateful firewalls still work, have always worked, and work the same in IPv6 as they do in IPv4. Having a public, globally-routable, unique address on your internal machine, whether that's an IPv4 address or an IPv6 one, doesn't mean that anyone can connect to it. It still has to go through your router. That router can be running a stateful firewall.

NAT is awful.

>DIY is largely the one holdout for repairs, and it's unreasonable to think that every person can have the aptitude to fix any device that may break in their lives.

It's not unreasonable at all. Every time you swap out the filter on your coffee machine, you are effectively DIY repairing it. The same idea applies to longer life components. If they are designed to be easily swapped out, the repair requires no skill at all. Now, we simply swap out the entire product.

The problem is ultimately economic and behavioral,though. People simply can't allocate the necessary attentional resources to prefer repairable products below a certain price point. Meaning, you probably consider repairability when making a large purchase like a car by looking at cost of ownership. But it's simply impractical to be as thorough when making purchase decisions for relatively cheap items like a coffee maker or even a fridge. Good luck finding cost of ownership info for those products. So unless cost of ownership starts factoring into people's decisions at the time of purchase, and/or externalities like waste disposal are priced in at that time, repairable goods just aren't going to be competitive.
I think he's saying that he created RescueTime as a reaction to the experience he's detailing in the comment (post Alaska startup).

Regarding your note there are other examples of false friends which make for funny pairs. Italian "sinistro" is left, but in French (and from there English) "sinistre/sinister" has a completely different meaning. Now we have a similar thing between French and English: "gauche" means left in French but "Lacking grace or social polish; awkward or tactless" in English.

It's actually interesting how the left and right have such a strong figurative meaning to them, left being bad (sinister, gauche, etc...) and right being... well, righteous. It's embedded deeply in our languages.

The point is, not just the culture, but 'India' as a name for that region and for the subcontinent, is very modern. When these peoples were around, that region was not 'India' any more than the people were 'Indian'. The name 'India' has soo many connotations what only makes sense in the modern context that calling this civilization 'Indian' is, like I said, convenient but misleading.

You have an issue with calling it an Indian civilization yet you use the term Dravidian which literally means Southern Indian. That's an interesting position to take.
I dont think this is correct. I added the boolean security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers set to true in Firefox 62.0.3 and ran the SSL Labs browser test here: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html. With the boolean set to true, Session Tickts under the Protocol Details section says false. Toggling the setting back to false and rerunning the set showed Session Tickets Yes. So perhaps you had a typo in the seeting name?
This post made my childhood come rushing back. I was fortunate to grow up with a new-at-the-time Model I, which my father and I upgraded piecemeal from a Level I Basic ROM to the Level II ROM, then adding the expansion bay, filling it with 48K (16K at a time), then the chip that allowed displaying lowercase letters, and eventually 4 external double-density floppy drives.

The Model 4 was the machine that I would daydream about while flipping through Radio Shack catalogs and "80 Microcomputing" magazine. I was determined that, when I grew up, I'd have a Model 4 with both banks of RAM (128K total) and 4 internal half-height floppy drives in the bays (I don't think that was possible, in retrospect), and the hi-res card.

I still love the look of this machine.

Africa is burdened by poor economic leadership, currencies that are difficult to convert and old colonial borders that were drawn for administration rather than economic markets and are inconsistent with the growth of the large commercial markets such as COMESA.

Low banking and insurance penetration affects 70-90% of the unbanked in Africa. This has led to a thriving informal exchange and remittance market which is largely cash driven that enables international commerce. Cash is risky, expensive and limiting in terms of credit growth, financial inclusion and bulk purchases.

>Castle doctrine is scary

Not having castle doctrine is equally if not more scary. The idea that I could wind up in jail because I didn't make enough effort to retreat within my own home is not exactly comforting. The idea that one has to retreat within their own home or personal vehicle is just kind of absurd to begin with. I can through my own actions greatly reduce the (already minuscule) chances of getting shot by someone else in their home. I cannot through my own actions effect (or at least not to nearly the same extent) the chances of having my life threatened by someone else.

I don't live somewhere "nice" by HN standards (I'm perfectly fine with where I live). While my house will probably never be robbed it will also probably never catch on fire yet I have smoke alarms and a couple fire extinguishers.

The article talks about private, public, and commercial voices as if they're discrete things, but it seems more like a spectrum to me. For instance, my zine is ostensibly commercial (compellingsciencefiction.com) but I have specific goals about the kinds of stories I want to get people reading, which limits my audience pretty drastically. I think in most true commercial ventures businesses adapt their products to find a market (which makes money) rather than try to adapt the market to their product (which is harder and makes much less money). This is just one example of a point on the spectrum of private-to-commercial.

'Dravidian' is the (current, archeological) name for the (maybe) indigenous people of India. At the very least, they lived there BEFORE the Indo-Persion and Indo-Europeans migrated there.

And I didn't say these people were Dravidian, I said they might be the pre-cursors to the Dravidian people - which is also probably doubtful. I guess I should have said 'People who would now be called Dravidian' ?

it's actually really simple. some (but not all) neighborhoods have neighborhood associations that have bylaws. if you don't like the bylaws, you go live in a different neighborhood.

pretty much everyone who lives in these kinds of places has at least one rule on the books that they think is dumb, but at the end of the day most people do actually want their neighbors to cut their lawns and stuff like that, so they choose to live somewhere that has at least some of these restrictions.

Very cool -- I love the focus and the amount of information you can glean from calendar analysis.

On this topic, since I joined Microsoft this summer, one of the off-the-shelf tools I've been most impressed with is the MyAnalytics dashboard (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/workplace-analytics/myanaly...) built into Office online. I like that in addition to meetings, it also summarizes time spent on email and time spent working outside of "business hours" -- and decorates each stat with benchmarks to compare with company averages.

I also appreciate the claim that "Only you have access to your MyAnalytics dashboard. MyAnalytics does not provide your manager or anyone else in your organization access to your dashboard." (Of course if push comes to shove, this is all company data, but I like that it's only shown to me by policy.)

This is probably very difficult, but wouldn’t it be interesting to write a program that generates the minimal function that matches a given decision table? I imagine with current techniques this would only be possible for very simple functions, but the programming workflow if you had such a tool would be neat. Instead of writing a function and tests, you simply write the test, and grow it until the function looks how you want it to.

>I don't think it's merely boredom alone. Being bored / doing nothing at home doesn't feel the same way.

At least for me, it's boredom combined with a lack of purpose. If you're doing something boring/mundane at home like doing the dishes, at least at the end of it you can see your sink is empty and the dishes are clean. It feels like there was some point to it.

At many companies it can really feel like you are just doing something because somebody told you do it and there's no other purpose in doing so. Sometimes you have no connection to the people using what you are building, and no idea if what you're doing is even really driving revenue or benefiting anybody.

If you're not learning and you're bored, the lack of purpose eats away at you slowly. Even if you build something that ultimately fails, if you can directly understand the cause of that failure you can learn something for the future. It can be harder to understand how what you did is related to success or failure at big companies.
That's what they're doing in the cities now anyhow. It's just a blocks long line of cars everywhere, idling, inching forward, waiting for the car in front of them to move. It's not the traffic lights that are creating all the stopping/idling, it's the traffic jams, due to too many cars.

> In order to become resistant to steam, it would have to give up other things that it currently spends its "budget" on.

Exactly this.

When bacteria become resistant to an antibiotic, they typically do so by giving up a metabolic pathway. If you take away the antibiotic, they usually quickly revert to the 'wild type' of bacteria.

As for becoming resistant to steam, even if they could do it, once you stopped applying steam, then they'd probably be unable to survive at room temperature.
