my armchair finance question isnt whether this is good or bad, but is it going to work again during the 2018/2019 recession? Call me paranoid, but I fully subscribe to the inverted yield curve theory of recession.

A big question is cannabis earnings...With canada's legalization, and most of the worlds decriminalization of cannabis, the drug trade cant be operating at the levels of 2009 profit. heroin and harder drugs are not as popular as cannabis and i suspect the earnings curve is flat as is evidenced by the increased introduction of carfentanyl in the supplychain.
Which is interesting in itself - if we could figure out more about this effect, perhaps we could harness it better.

I've also read this book, and while I didn't have the immediate benefits of the parent commenter, it did help me to take ownership of my situation, and to work through the pain.

For me the key was activity and building up the endurance/tone of the lower lumbar. This hurt a lot in my existing state, but once I cut the vicious cycle of inactivity leading to reduced muscle tone causing more pain, I was able to turn it around and reduce my pain and dysfunction almost entirely.
I think this is a mischaracterization, since these things apply to free software as well. The difference is that it is usually much easier to detect when such things are happening, and modify the program so that it no longer does these things.

That's an interesting rewriting of "the law prohibits the rich and the poor alike to sleep under bridges," but if you read back he said "more likely," not "it's impossible for free software to have bad stuff in it."
As if distro mantainers didn't get to pick which software is and isn't allowed.
I had believed something similar. They are definitely remnants of a 10 month calendar, but July and August were existing months (Quintilis and Sextilis, respectively) renamed for the emperors. January and February appear to be the additions [0]. There is quite a bit of interesting history in the rest of that article about how the months have changed.

I can't remember if I'd read about a past society that did this, or it was an idea someone had proposed for a future one, but I love the idea of a 360 day year (12 months, 30 days each), with a 5 or 6 (leap year) day festival at the end commemorating the New Year. It would change birthdays for everyone born after January 30, which seems like it'd cause enough outrage to prevent it, but it's a fun thought!

It's also worth noting that Twitter's feature velocity fell off a cliff when they moved to Scala.

I’m suggesting that people who cry “freedom of speech” when others won’t do business with them, while simultaneously suppressing dissent among their own ranks, are using it as a rhetorical weapon rather than as a principle they follow but I completely.

It is missing Signal.bind, which is a way to allow dynamic signal graphs (a pretty advanced feature). There is also work to be done in optimizing the order of re-computations. I'm not sure about further work yet, depends on if we end up using it at work.
It is much saner looking today (not that it looks sane); again, posting traffic on Gab pages seems to have plummeted. A year or two ago, the whole front page was racist and anti-Semitic memes. Oh, and of course, picture of cat, picture of eagle, picture of house.

Look into Ankylosing Spondolytis. I have it, after ten years unexplained back pain.

Having back pain that won't go away isn't normal.
Employment helps social stability but money-only doesn't. While stipend for low-incomers also exists in China, gov really wants more people earn a living through working. IMO, the benefits are: 1. It puts people into time schedules, not floating around. 2. Makes them integrated into a "work community". 3. These jobs still help, not purely "created". 4. Employer will have some insurances and coverages.

Over years I agree that many jobs diminished with the introduction of machines (vacuum trucks, etc.). It would be a tough job for the government to find more positions in this kind.

Physical computing sounds like an incredibly limiting environment, like using FrontPage rather than HTML, CSS and JavaScript. How do you do anything abstract on a platform like this? How do you i integrate any two arbitrary pieces of software? How do you apply basic programming practices such as functional (as opposed to copy/paste) reuse? Or do you end up modifying code the 95% of the time the abstraction hinders rather than helps?

I really hope this isn't how we teach programming to the next generation, because it will severely limit their understanding of what makes programming great.

I don't know what "neo-Nazi" means to you, but if you'd like, we can refine our terminology and simply talk about "white supremacists and anti-Semites", at which point if will become very difficult for you to argue that the site doesn't "condone or sympathize with" those forces.
No, the goal is to stop transmission by travellers.
Package managers are a fundamentally flawed concept:

You depend on your distro mantainers to package what you need to install. If it isn't packaged, best case scenario is you get a tarball, which is already too hard for 99% of computer users. Snaps and Flatpaks are still too unpolished.

Getting all your user applications (DAW, IDE, etc) from your OS developer (instead of getting it from the application developer) is also against the sentiment of freedom that so many Linux users preach.
Facebook, Google all of them are built on top of open source... So no need to worry about it.

Payment processors are government licensed oligopolies and if private processors can deny service for no reason, then the goverment should set up its own with a universal service obligation.

If making and receiving payments is considered a necessary utility posting and handling large amounts of cash is restricted, then providers should not have a right to deny service to customers who are not taking payments in violation of the law, regardless of distasteful their activities may be.

Would you agree if the state sided with electrical or water utilities to be able to refuse service to a customer such as brothel, on the grounds that their activitites where distasteful and immoral, not matter how legal?

That would be fine if the person denied service had the right to connect to a river or a well, lay down their own pipes and power and draw their water and electricity directly, but those rights are curtailed by the state, and it requires certain permissions and rights to do those.

The same can be said of online payments and credit card payments. They have become a necessary utility so much so that brothels and panhandlers have credit card machines. If private providers can deny such service arbitrarily then the state must become the providers of last resort.
The history of the Roman calendar is somewhat unclear. The Julian reform is well-attested, as is the immediately pre-Julian calendar. This latter calendar is 12 months starting with January with day lengths of 29/28/31/29/31/29/31/29/29/31/29/29, plus an occasional intercalary month of 27 days whose insertion caused February to shrink to 23 days.

The Romans themselves maintained that before the Republican calendar, the year consisted of 10 months of alternating 30/31 days, with the winter months (of what would be January and February) consisting of a vague collection of days omitting a fixed month. But this explanation is dated essentially to people writing "what we used a millennium ago," and there's no attestation of this calendar much closer to its usage period.

In any case, it's definitive that the year used to start in March. When and why it transitioned to January is unclear. For what it's worth, even after most of Western Europe transitioned to using a Julian calendar, the starting date was quite inconsistent until very late. (England only switched in the 18th century, at the same time it adopted Gregorian calendar).
I disagree. Though I think righteous indignation is a real problem, it's also often used as a label that can be applied to any negative response to one's own opinions - to paint any negativity at all as automatically unreasonable and unworthy of any credence. I think the trend of antagonistic-first approaches to other people is a much more worrying problem, and that highly antagonistic people are more likely to reach prematurely for the accusation of "righteous indignation" (not accusing you of that).
I would look at this at opening up a new additional way of computing, not limiting how computing works in general.

As someone that prefers python it is unfortunate that the only way to get SSR is to commit to JS but with web assembly I think we will eventually have tools such as React and Redux be translated to other languages.

As far as performance goes js isn't too bad. It's async by default and a lot of effort has gone into making it run fast.
There have been instances of open-source programs (including a certain code editor Hackernews has a collective nerdgasm over every time a release drops) shipping with telemetry or other spying features enabled. In some cases (like that one popular browser), the vendor makes it difficult or impossible to disable those features without modifying and recompiling the code.
Is there any actual information on how much money the video made? It doesn't really say much.
Small note for a anyone on a similar path researching reliable China-based fulfillment for crowdfunding campaigns or ecommerce..

We have tested and physically inspected literally every major and minor Hong Kong and China fulfillment provider, and settled upon SPNS ( https://warehouse.expert ).

They are the only provider we found with western-education, that provide actual service (customer support, optimising routes and delivery companies, working directly with your end customer to reduce loss, fighting with couriers to negotiate refunds and insurance etc)

The guy heading up the operation is Victor, and can be contacted via team@spnslogistics.com

Maclisp/CADR Lisp was more to my taste, true, but to be fair Interlisp was originally developed at BBN, and folks like Teitelman and Bobrow were former MITers.

I agree the D machine had a more intensive UI while the cadrs and their descendants were more text oriented.

What makes you think early humans slept on flat surfaces with no neck support? Is this something you've studied, or are you making things up?

Here's what gorilla nests look like:

https://www.berggorilla.org/en/gorillas/general/everyday-lif...

I'm sure early humans were at least as capable at making beds, and could make something that functioned as a pillow, or at least gave some neck support, if that was comfortable.

(To be clear, I know absolutely nothing about how early humans slept. I just suspect that you don't either.)
If you are serving 10MB of JS, then you have a lot more optimizing to do way before you need to think about SSR.
I'm really not clear why they don't. Apart from driving traffic to bing, what advantage do they gain by developing edge? How does edge drive more traffic than a customized firefox?

The only thing plausible thing I can think of is hoping to execute another round of embrace extend extinguish on the web, putting other desktop operating systems at a disadvantage. With google chrome's dominance that seems unlikely to work.
I have a friend who's running an ads optimization startup. His words: "We are an artificial intelligence company, in which "artificial" comes first and "intelligence" comes second...

He's running two divisions, one employs experienced "ads buyers", one tries to tune models to catch up with the former. :P
Because market participants (i.e. brokers) need to 'mark to market'. That is, they need to transfer the net of their gains and losses to counter-parties. This occurs after the market close. To have continuously trading markets would require changing the supporting systems and regulations that support this.
Also early computers with monochrome CRTs often shipped with actual silk screen pressed between the case and CRT. It was a trade-off, you'd lose a bit of sharpness but there would be no room reflection whatsoever. The Kaypro 10 was a dream machine in its time, it had a bare CRT with a 'matte' glass surface that had been slightly etched. Sharp characters with no layer of silk in the way.

I still emulate the Kaypro 10 with its dull/bright green on black phosphors for coding.
Back pain can be caused by so many things that what works for one person will likely not work for another. However, here is something that helped end my back problems which were of a type that may be fairly common in North America:

When bending over, whether it's to pick something up from the ground or to wash your hands in the sink, bend from the hips while keeping your back arched. Do not roll your spine forwards. If you lack the flexibility to reach your aim, make up the difference by bending your knees. Your flexibility should improve with time.

It was through hacker news that I found an article similar to the following:

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/02/26/5877352...

Scrupulously correct form when rowing and weight lifting plus special stretching exercises devised by a chiropractor did not help me. Changing how I bend when shaving or picking things up from the ground did. If you have back problems, pay attention to how you bend.

Those are all things that could fix the problem. But let me ask this another way. Imagine that you travel into the future a decade or three and a computer scientist tells you "pretty much no one gets buffer overflows anymore because of X".

It seems unlikely to me that the answer is going to be ATS, or "we burned down x86".
"There have been instances of open-source programs shipping with telemetry or other spying features enabled."

Do you crawl the web for data?
Here we are thinking you're not very smart for making a comment like that.

The fact is that there is no single "smart". Instead there are many aptitudes, which combine and overlap to make people good or bad at specific skills.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was strong, but an average rock climber could best him at rock climbing. The average long distance runner could run laps around him.

We all understand this to be the case with respect to physical activities, but for some reason this idea of single-faceted intelligence persists.
Nice try, FBI. I use none. I am paranoid about what software I download, and I generally don't feel like I'm exposing an attack surface. To be fair, I think Windows Defender is running and Edge has incoming stuff scanned for malware, because I never turned that off.

And, um, on Ubuntu, apt packages are signed, right?
Ask HN: What are some up and coming software technologies worth learning?
Oh wow, I literally just finished my quadrature sinusoid DDS generator using MyHDL last night. I didn't use CORDIC but rather a LUT. I found out I can optimize generating quadrature sinusoids by having two separate LUTs where each one stores from 0 to pi/2 and the other from pi/2 to pi, and this has an advantage because when the sine output takes inputs from the first LUT, the cos output takes inputs from the second LUT and vice versa, thus saving duplicates.

I'm still cleaning up the testbench code and I plan to put out a blog post here if y'all are interested: hatsunearu.github.io

Rise of the machines: Automation reshapes job market
Ok, sure, if you only focus on buffer overflows. Those are the low-hanging fruit of software security. If in future decades we can say "professional software is pretty much secure because of X", X is absolutely not Rust. And I don't think we'll still be using x86.
Your virtue signalling is so cringeworthy
It's easy to do this. See this part? It's repeated 32 times.

// Compute mode.
cos_next = cos + (direction_negative ? sin_shr : -sin_shr);
sin_next = sin + (direction_negative ? -cos_shr : cos_shr);
angle_next = angle + (direction_negative ? beta : -beta);

What you need to do is make 32 instances of this in series. Then you can compute the sin and cos without any flip-flops, which counts as asynchronous. beta is an array indexed by count, so this will instead be replaced with `BETA_0, `BETA_1, etc. for each instance.

A pipelined version is more useful: you still make 32 instances, but leave flip-flops between each stage. This way you produce one result per cycle, but with a 32-cycle latency. The cycle time is fast since there is not much logic in each stage. This might be useful, for example, to make the logic part of a DDS.

Lisp was developed largely for Symbolic Computing. See the famous McCarthy paper. Early on it was detected that Lisp execution can be seen as Symbolic Computing itself - see the Lisp interpreter executing symbolic expressions and the famous definition of Lisp evaluation in Lisp itself. Lisp then had the first self-hosted compiler, the first integrated macro system and the first integrated structure editors in the early 60s.

That was Lisp back then. Lisp then early on was used in a bunch of symbolic computing domains: theorem provers, computer algebra, natural language processing, planning, rule-based languages, programming language implementation (languages like ML or Scheme were implemented first in Lisp).

In the Lisp sense Python does not have a REPL, since it does not implement READ, EVAl and PRINT over symbolic data, like Lisp does.
I'm not positing single-faceted intelligence. (Which does exist, there are obvious kinds of brain problems that hurt you at every task.) I'm saying their intellectual talent is what makes them better than OP. Their natural ability. The stuff that's useful for programming contests, obviously. Low on geometry, high on logic and algebra, good for one-hour problems moreso than research, that sort of math.
The US law on allergen labeling does actually have this nuance, but sellers probably chose to err on the side of caution. See section 203 (a) of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004:
