Hi! There's a paper airplane I've made which I learned out of a book a while back - the book called it either a "condor" or "albatross", I forget which, but searching for either of those names turns up different designs. It's an excellent glider, and one of the few designs I know that start with the paper in landscape orientation.
If you're interested, here's how to fold it:

- With the paper in landscape orientation, fold the top corners to meet in the middle.

- Fold the top corner [just created] down to the point where those two corners meet.

- Fold the two new obtuse corners on the top to meet in the middle. Tape into place.

- Fold in half left-to-right, so that the taped corners are on the outside of the fold.

- Fold the edges back down to the centerline.

- Unfold, and smooth out to give it the profile of an upside-down flattened W. The flatter, the better it will glide, but if it's too flat it will spin.

Launch by holding the back, as it has no vertical surface to grip on the bottom.
Off topic, but I don't enjoy listening to Carlin. I feel like he must be an acquired taste because he's so loved. He's called the inspiration of many of my own favorite comedians, but when I listen to him to me he sounds like a really smart and insightful/philosophical person....rambling angrily. His sets don't set me up for a tension-breaking punchline like my brain expects.

End ramble.
gus_massa made a specific claim about what we could see on the benchmarks game website, and we can see that claim is really not true.
This is a point of much contention, micro ops are NOT RISC like (some are even variable length). However, the one argument that does have some merit is that risc is supposed to be load/store and internally x86 cpus are load/store m.
Not if that someone can intercept traffic from my computer -> public site and can't intercept my computer -> dns server.

And since DNS queries are commonly cached locally (i.e. dns server == my computer a reasonable percentage of the time) that's not even a rare occurrence.
I would put them on college campuses maybe, downtown could make sense. I've seen charging stations in malls.
Funny, I think we've had exactly the opposite problem. See, for instance, Heartbleed, which is pure product of IETF standardization of a feature no mainstream commercial entity asked for.
Right, it's "just" expressions and tuple deforming right now. Especially the former required significant refactoring (landing in v10), but that's nothing against the refactoring required to do proper whole query compilation. I'm working on the necessary changes (have posted prototype), which have independent advantages as well.

There's planning logic to decide whether JIT is worthwhile, but that's probably the weakest part right now.
I read a ton as a kid, and I always struggled a bit on reading comprehension tests. To me it generally seemed like the "reading comprehension" questions would focus on minutia I didn't consider important, and simply didn't bother to remember. It's been a long time since then, but I want to say I'd read a story about a kid sledding on a hill with his friends, and then later to test your reading comprehension they'd ask you what color his shirt was.

Maybe that is reading comprehension and I am just bad at it, but to me shirt color was unimportant.
You're holding up a massive straw man.

A C&D like this is pretty standard fare between competing businesses. If you sell widgets and WidgetCorp sells widgets, you are completely allowed to try and poach their customers, but WidgetCorp is allowed you prevent you from doing that in their store. Furthermore, if the accounts were specifically created for this purpose it's a clear violation of the TOS and there may potentially be damages there, or even possible criminal charges (thanks to the wonderful CFAA - ack).
the patent expired last year. ebay could've had some version of it ready to roll out automatically within seconds of whatever expiration time was approved by the legal department.

personally i've never used one click purchasing on amazon, and their checkout still feels better than ebay's.

the real irony is:

> (among other things including the issue of trust)

when amazon is comingling inventory and generally confusing people about who they're purchasing from.
It should be called the estebank corollary from now on.
> we codify

That is a line.
Yes, pun intended: "And like a classic example of itself, the decline has been long, gradual, and barely noticed."
That's very interesting.

At the moment, PostgreSQL keeps all versions of all tuples in its heap files. Inserts, updates, and deletes all result in addition of new tuples to the heap, and the engine keeps track of which transactions can see which tuples. The vacuum process deletes tuples which are no longer needed, but in the meantime, there is bloat.

zheap would keep only the latest version of each tuple in its heap files. When a tuple got updated or deleted, the engine would move the old version into separate storage, the "undo" log. A vacuum process would need to clean up the undo log, but the heap would remain unbloated.

This is obviously very practical. But it's a shame that it introduces an asymmetry, where some transactions will be reading tuples from the heap, and some will need to root around in the undo log.

I note that this is the approach that Oracle has always used - as explained in this fine article by the same chap who wrote the blog post about zheap above:

Yeah, I also like to think bookface is the real HN.
Two tactics:

Passive - Bring something with you to the meeting. Work items to work on while you wait, or a book etc. I am a fan of printing off technical stuff and keeping it on hand when bored. Looking busy is a good tactic to avoid the 'good idea fairy'

Aggressive - start launching into the topic. This can meet resistance 'oh hold on we are waiting for xyzzy to show up', response: I have too much work to do, call me at x1234 when you are ready to start.

Story time: I had a boss who would tried to establish a social bond with his people. He was not a techie, so there was none of that to build on. So he did the typical 'lets talk sports' because that was the only thing he knew. As such we would waste time at the weekly team meting for 15 to 20 mins. Only one guy would really engage with him. He was surprised when we all said how much we hated the wasteful weekly meeting.

What he should have done, to accomplish the social binding and understanding of what we were doing was to met each of us and talk individually. Oh well.
I don't disagree there are problems with not involving commercial stakeholders in the standardization process, and your Heartbleed example is poignant. I feel that there is a middle ground that would be more beneficial to all stakeholders in the long run. I'm just asking for some balance. The implementations of today evolve into the legacy systems that will need to be supported and maintained for years, if not decades.
Intellectual property protection is a major inhibitor of repair. When only one organization can legally produce replacement parts, repair becomes relegated to outlaws. Companies default to closed source, guaranteeing that at some point what they produce will all end up in a landfill unless it can be recycled. It’s an obscure position but I believe that intellectual property protection increases material waste and accelerates the destruction of the natural world. It’s an issue that sadly few people think much about, and one that I believe is invisibly harming the earth.

Recently I met Neil Gershenfeld from MIT, who advocates for research and development in to universal machinery that can assemble itself, perform its duties, and then disassemble itself back in to parts when complete. [1] As he says, “there is no trash with LEGO, and there is no trash in a forest.” It’s a far off idea it seems, but intriguing nonetheless.

In the near term, we as consumers can help avoid this waste by refusing to buy proprietary materials that will eventually become landfill waste. Don’t buy cheap Halloween decorations at the dollar store that will fill up the dump. Don’t buy cheap Christmas presents for the short term amusement they provide. We can point fingers at manufacturers for producing goods they know will become trash, but we are just as complicit for buying those things from them. Support producers who believe in repair and you will be doing the earth and all its future inhabitants a favor.

Is this a new millenial thing of constantly using profanities? Just based on the naming of the repo I will never use or look at this. I have kids I intend to teach programming to so not nice naming this way.

I can only assume project owner thinks its cool. More like his parents never taught him manners.
I don't think anyone would be saying anything had Amazon been calling or mailing these sellers. The fact that they were using the eBay platform and known to be working against the ToS could push it into unethical.

"The Amazon employees acknowledged they were breaking eBay’s rules and actively tried to avoid detection, the lawsuit says."

Would you consider it unethical to solicit in a neighborhood with no-solicitation signs? What about standing in a competitor's store and advertising your store to their customers?

DNS over HTTPS is still handled at the OS level?

Related, it should be possible to have “correct” dns in userland that behaves as you describe sans falling back to the system resolver. In my understanding the whole point of DNS over https is to avoid the DHCP assigned DNS address (and of course encrypt)

Finally, I’m pretty sure Firefox at least does its own dns caching. I’ve had to force reload to pick up dns changes already visible to the system resolver.
Unfortunately there isn't.
I can only think of two possible things:

1. Sandbag like crazy, so allow enough margin to account for the normal variance in delivery time.

2. Change the roadmap to reflect reality and don't worry about committing to arbitrary pre-planned mappings of date ⟷ feature. Of course you can still have planned release dates, but you might have to adjust the feature-set to reflect what actually got done.
So much (internships and full-time interviews) that I'd be embarrassed to share it online or quantify it. But each experience makes me better at interviewing.
> In West Germany, the husband could legally forbid his wife to work until 1977(!).

That's a feminist myth. He could only cancel her contract and only if he could prove in a court of law that she abandoned her "home duties". It is also not known how often this law was actually enforced in reality, if at all.

The other way around, husbands were legally required to provide for their family, that was their duty.

So while I think that it's wrong to have fixed gender roles enforced by the state, please stop pretending that this was a one-way-street.

No. Withdrawal of the Paris agreement led to other political initiatives such as oil and gas projects, such as Keystone XL or new EPA (de)regulations, that could have been avoided.

Here again, a consequential drop in emissions does not mean that there is a political effect. Policies such as the Paris agreement are looking for long-term effects, rather than fluctuation deriving from a specific economical situation.

I might think that of biography, or autobiography. But fiction writers often don't know what it's like to be that sort of person, they just make it up.
Nothing about my comment advocates for perfectionism.

My point is that V2V systems and research papers I've seen just don't make meaningful claims about safety. They instead make claims about convenience and efficiency, which are not substitutes for safety.

We know to test vehicles for crash safety before putting them on the road.

While I believe there are certainly ways to make use of V2V communication that increase overall safety, I haven't seen anything remotely resembling a crash test for V2V systems.

Creating a system that relies on the correct behavior of all components is not a recipe for safety or reliability. This is especially true as the number of components increases (this happens when a car exchanges messages with all the cars around it).

We need V2V systems that rely only on correct behavior of any component and allow for malicious behavior of some components.

The idea that a protocol version mismatch from some rolling deploy can cause injuries in cars made by other manufacturers is the sort of thing that I haven't seen a single person point out. How would something like this even be caught and debugged?

Advocating for an ecosystem where these things are likely but neither addressed nor considered is just plain irresponsible.
Please don't post snarky comments to HN, and especially not predictable snark tropes. We're hoping for thoughtful conversation here.

Yes, and I think what you're looking at now is balance. The way standards are supposed to work is that companies (among other users) come up with features that they want, and get them working, and then the IETF is supposed to hammer out agreement on how to make those features interoperate. And that's it.

It was never the idea that IETF was meant to be an Internet legislature adjudicating what features can and can't be supported in protocols. But that's exactly what it has become.
And yet their own documentation says that their "normal" search results come from Oath (Yahoo) and... Bing:

This idea presupposes that owners are looking to be landlords.

There is so much cash floating around the high end of the economy, thanks to QE and tax dodging and everything you've heard about, that RE is purchased simply as a way to diversify holdings beyond stocks & bonds. It never has to be used.
And plenty more that PostgreSQL will probably lack for the foreseeable future. Especially at the more expensive pricing tiers.

But I'm not sure it's a fair comparison, precisely because of that word, "pricing". It's amazing what you can get people to do when you're paying them big bucks to do it. Part of what makes PostgreSQL so impressive is what it does given the budget it's working with.
Please don't break the site guidelines just because someone else did. That just makes this place worse.

> the sphere of data that Google has is just a tiny pittance compared to on a Play Store device (where they know essentially everything)

They know fewer things than Apple knows for people who never opt in to any of the opt in settings and leave opt out settings alone. On a Play Store device, AGPS data collection is opt in. On iOS, it is not even opt out — you can't even disable it.

Play Store devices look even better when you consider what can be opted out of by setting default apps and by installing system wide ad blockers.

This does not mention free enterprise once. This country was founded on free enterprise. It's not rigged, its just that the education system has been lying to us for a very long time. The system does not want entrepreneurs, but job people. This country says that you need to have a good education to get a good job and you will make it. This is false. They are not paying us what we are worth but the bare min for each job. The fact that getting a good education and a job is the wrong vehicle for be successful in America. Make money off companies, not people. Jobs will never make you rich, and are never stable or secure.
Are there even any DoH resolvers you can run yourself? unbound only supports DoT. It's a shame that they had to invent yet another standard.

That’s really interesting. The point has been made about individual variance on the big-5 (OCEAN) personality traits, specifically openness and conscientiousness. Those with higher openness are good at starting new businesses or projects, while those with higher conscientiousness are better at running them once they are past the startup phase. The argument goes that, as with business, you need both types of personalities to make society function. But in terms of political and infrastructural projects, getting both styles of thinking interacting in early stages, in a less linear process than we see in startups, would be constructive. This is unfortunately rare. JJane Jacobs comes to mind as a rare thinker who could integrate ideas of perservation/maintenance and renewal/innovation, which is probably why she has been lauded by both hard lefty types as well as market libertarians.
Are there "likes" in the dataset? Sometimes I think the likes and their effect on trending tweets is way more damaging than tweets themselves.

It's definitely location-dependent. My experience is primarily Bay Area/NYC/Seattle, and salaries will likely be lower outside those hubs. However for very skilled or in-demand specialists, it's definitely possible to get SF salaries while working remote in a cheap CoL area.
The technology that makes up the surveillance state can be used for good and evil.

Your bank can profile you in order to detect someone who isn't you trying to commit fraud by pretending to be you or the ATF can kick down your door and shoot your dog because you made the mistake of buying fertilizer in bulk and renting a truck to go pick it up.

I used to work on tech that could be very useful for someone trying to drop bombs. Our implementation was part of a package that was used defensively, mostly to give the guys on the ground a heads up if someone was speeding toward their checkpoint (go watch some ISIS VBIED videos if you think a few seconds heads up isn't a huge help).

I can shoot someone who breaks into my home (or better yet, nobody breaks into my home when it's common knowledge that most people have the ability to shoot back) or I can shoot someone for illegally dumping a mattress in my alley.

How you use technology really does matter a lot more than the tech itself.
