> My brother and I are unsure where we would ever put it and neither of us play the piano (probably one of my bigger regrets is not learning...).

It's never too late!

(But the grand piano still won't be practical even if you learn how to play it.)
I have a lot of trouble believing that Tysons was planned at all. The area is nearly unwalkable and is effectively dominated by multi-lane roads. Yes, there's there Silver line, and I won't dispute that the station for Tyson's corner managed to make some considerations for walkers, but as for the rest of the area, I shouldn't have to cross a highway to walk to work!
Do you think the planning being done is a temporary thing and once it settles down people will switch to execution mode? Do you think your team / organization / leadership has what it takes to succeed in the next year?
Even if that was true, as an American, I would much prefer leaking to my government over that of a Communist dictatorship hellbent on becoming the ruling super power.

One government is actually putting people into fucking camps[1], the other isn't.

The scale in which the Chinese Government is bad dwarfs the bad things the US Government may do. No Government is perfect, but there are orders of magnitudes in difference between the badness of the US and that of the Chinese Government.

All rich countries, except a few oil producers, have become rich by sweatshop-like labor.

It's the one way that actually works. By banning it, you are not forcing third world countries to find some other way, you are forcing them to remain in poverty.
This seems like a great neutral path forward that shouldn't upset anyone and doesn't paint the research as 100% factual and in-stone, yet. It leaves the door open to continue the work while rectifying the issues. However, it doesn't excuse the way the advisor asked them to just go with it anyway unless there was some nuance left out in that part of the conversation (akin to you what you've stated) we're not hearing.

> They're also not worth that much anymore because the market for used grand's is tiny.

To the right buyer that instrument will be worth a small fortune. The reason the market value is not that high is mostly because the few big names gobble up all the instruments they can to reduce the size of the secondary market so they can sell their instruments at the highest price they'll fetch.

That's also why there are hardly ever prices on the websites of the various sellers, they would give a hint about what the instruments value is which would make it harder for them to purchase instruments for a small fraction of their true value.
I created this tool to design parameter spaces, run functions in parallel and optimize hyper-parameters for machine learning models, it's pretty generic and a work in progress, but it gets the job done. There are possibly corner cases I didn't consider, but I'll add/fix things as I need/find them.
The first sentence:

"The C programming language defines a string as char* ."

No, it doesn't. A string is by definition "a contiguous sequence of characters terminated by and including the first null character". A char* value may or may not be a pointer to a string.

(Confusing arrays and pointers is perhaps the most common mistake people make when talking about C.)
Do you mean that the Parent PLUS loans are directly dependent on test scores or something like lower standardized test scores → less scholarships going into school → more loans?
> C++11 said c_str must be constant time, so that wouldn’t work there anymore.

How so? Any SSO scheme should allow you to determine whether a string is short or not in constant time. Copying a 24-character string into a 25-byte zero-terminated buffer takes constant time, so c_str could simply do the copy.
Interesting thought. Given that the majority in all western countries already seem pretty OK with wealth redistribution in the form of their current welfare systems, calling for more of it doesn't seem that extreme.

But I could turn out to be wrong about that. We certainly live in interesting times.

Except there are a lot of places where housing is quite affordable. You can argue that economic value has tended to centralize and you'd mostly be right. OTOH, I have plenty of colleagues living in all manner of relatively low-cost small cities all over the place. (Not a lot who are truly rural but that has a lot to do with communications infrastructure and easy access to airports.)
I’m in a very similar situation as you: my wife is inheriting a Steinway baby grand piano that needs internal repair, and needs to be shipped from Tucson to the Bay Area. It has a lot of sentimental value but not much resale value. It may cost up to $10k to ship it and get it repaired into a working state.

I live in a 2 bedroom condo in Oakland that cannot possibly fit the thing, nor do either of us play piano anymore. My thought was to repair it and then donate it to a local school auditorium and maybe write off the expenses but I haven’t looked into the details.
Land value, which is a proxy for better infrastructure, has dramatically increased.

>I want data.

I can't help but frown : the anandtech review really rubs me the wrong way when it starts with a long benchmark.

Unfortunately benchmarks are an extremely poor simulation of real life workload and have indirectly contributed to extremely poor devices by making OEMs very tempted to optimize their devices for benchmarks and not for real life workloads.
It's just too bad they didn't block the journals rather than the corporate site.

I'm using one; given GCHQ/NSA/whoever already are watching my data, that UK ISPs use Huawei gear - and from who knows where - I don't really care.

I can't see what they'd want with my info. If I was working on stuff to be patented or something then maybe ...

If I use an Apple device the Chinese or USAmericans could be surveilling me; Samsung/LG, perhaps the Koreans; Sony/Fujitsu maybe the Japanese ... I wouldn't know either way, nor ever need to care AFAICT.

As the parent suggests, perhaps if you have a lot to lose then paranoia about this might pay off.
Not just right now.

In 80s, a perfect score on ACT resulted in full scholarships plus living stipend most anywhere you’d be interested in, offering a straightforward step up from rural America to the 1% track.

That said, I don’t recall teaching to the test or test prep being a big thing then. Maybe what’s changing is the 1% working out how to keep that track in the family?

> I'd be concerned about physical security of the hardware. Most of these cell towers are only secured by a chain-link fence and a padlock.

And usually not a particularly good padlock either. Sites like these are regularly prone to non-destructive entry, don't configure or assemble tamper detection circuits, etc.

But honestly, none of this is a huge deal day to day. It's something you can improve over time. For the most part, people do not attack these facilities, it's just that if they did, they would have effectively free reign.
I think the 10,000 figure from BBC was possibly hyperbole or a mistake. The NYT article says 400 books this year… which is still a ton, but less so if you consider books that can be read in an hour or less.
I don't think the price from private seller should count, so yeah, That BB's price ($700) should be the one used for comparison.
It’s a crummy situation, but if you approach management with you and your teammates’ concerns, it could fix things. A close friend of mine had a very similar situation earlier this year, the team confronted management, had to basically threaten a mass exodus, but they finally got it and fired the new SW VP. But you should start looking for a new gig because it might not go well.
Here are the useful ideas:

- spend (much) less than you earn (by working)

- figure out your risk tolerance and long-term goals, develop an Investment Policy Statement (including desired asset allocation and re-balancing strategy, if any)

- stick to this plan until you're super comfortable with your plan, your back up plan, and your SHTF emergency plan

- enjoy your freedom to control your time before you turn 67

It's probably not useful to:

- take painful steps to reduce your spending

- risk your health

- do anything you don't want to continue doing after you stop working (except work!)

- assume or rely on BLOG / BOOK / WRITING income like those that stopped the "usual" sources of income, but gained celebrity by writing about (the otherwise useful) ideas
When did 'western powers' invade China and drug a large percentage of their population between 1918 and 2018? What was the percentage of their population? What were the drugs? What was the purpose? Who did it? How did something that you say supposedly happened 100 ago effect a country 200 years ago?

This is an extraordinary claim that should require extraordinary evidence. You've shown no evidence of the statements you've made in this thread so far so I hope you'll change that up and provide us with some here. I'd be very interested in seeing some for this.
I was "Full Stack" before I did an MSc in Distributed Systems at UCL and I would disagree.

Yes, the MSc taught me a lot about Distributed Systems. Yes, it cost me all of the cash I had saved up (£15,000, no debt). Yes, I could have tried to go it alone... but had I done that there is a good chance I might not have learned enough to know that I do not know enough; how to explore the challenges of designing and working with Distributed Systems; how to understand and debate the tradeoffs of different systems; how to apply the theory to the pratice; how to read, analyze and even critize white papers; I could go on...

I like to think each living organism as a gigantic living git repository of successful experiments by evolution. No wonder a huge number of human inventions come out of either isolating naturally occurring compounds or mimicking some natural occurring behavior of some organism: plant/animal.

Each time we lose an organism, we lose an entire repo of commits made over billions of years.
Yeah, but the mainstream still wants nothing to do with them, although I suppose it depends on how you define mainstream.
You’re attempting to reason backwards. Rowling’s publishers abbreviated her name to hide she was a woman. This does not imply that everyone who uses an abbreviation for their first name when being published. So your attempted counter-examples are meaningless.

I suggest brushing up on basic logic to prevent these mistakes in the future.
but wouldn’t the 1.01kg of antimatter have an “inverted gravity well” that propogates in all directions, sitting at the bottom of Earth’s much much larger gravity well?

I mean I’m looking at gravity in that it isn’t like electromagnetism; propagating waves of energy through space. Gravity is the bending of space itself; mass’s impression.

But maybe I’m using the wrong/incomplete model of gravity here

FWIW, a friend of a friend wanted to buy a Steinway and donate it to her daughter's prep school so the daughter would have a Steinway to play. (Yes, some people have a lot of money.) The prep school turned her down because they didn't want the cost of maintaining it. Anecdata and perhaps an outlier, but nonetheless.

It depends on the demand for investment. If there are loads of potentially successful companies starved for resources, more spending on stocks and loans could increase total returns linearly, or perhaps even more.

If there’s a glut of money for investment, then that’s a different story.
Even in the short video you can see someone walk across it pushing a stroller/buggy. While I was watching I was actually thinking that it needed a pedestrian sidewalk.

I think most people think of a fullstack developer as someone who is experienced in everything from backend all the way up to frontend design.

Fullstack developer = someone who can do all parts of a project on their own if they wanted to.
I'll chime in as well: in general it's just the most versatile and practical language I've ever come across. I can write it almost like Java if I want so I can do solid engineering with it and it performs almost the same. Then I can write scripts at the command line that get interpreted and they are more concise and powerful than shell scripts. Any time I need to play with or understand a Java API, I can fire up the Groovy REPL and just fool around with it.

So it's just an extremely useful language to have in my "tool belt", so to speak.

Birthdates don’t have to rise for population to increase. For instance, our global population is expected to continue to rise for the next couple decades even as birth rates fall because life expectancy is rising. Yes, the US is currently below replacement rate (without immigration), but if birth rates 20 years ago were higher than the current death rate, demand for housing will be increasing.

As for where people are moving from other than farm country, there are plenty of economically struggling cities, towns, and suburbs.
Not if the bugs are actually just bad/corrupted data. For example, the main dataset the IPCC is based on appears to contain all sorts of bad data that definitely make me skeptical of the conclusions the IPCC comes to (https://researchonline.jcu.edu.au/52041/).

If global warming is actually wrong, it's most likely because of bad/corrupt data in the datasets used.
> I always thought distributed systems weren’t necessarily decentralized systems. Is my understanding of the terminology wrong?

This is correct. Distributed is not the same as decentralization.
depends on what you're developing right? If the libraries are there, and you have a cross compiler, then it'd be fine.
Looks great, kudos on the `soft' launch.

* The FAQs say that the app is a p2p based app. What is the p2p protocol being used here?
* How does it compare to libp2p, SSB, and others?
* What's the security model, and how would the system mitigate Sybil attacks etc?

Are there any plans to have mobile apps (preferable native)? I think if people could use it on their mobile phones, it would be a game changer.

Out of all the string types I have used, I think Go has the best of them. Since it's a GC'd language, you don't have to pay the refcount atomic overhead. The representation is two only words long. Strings are immutable, making them suitable map keys. Strings don't carry any encoding information; they are plain byte-arrays.
You know, I considered the possibility someone would "well, actually..." me there, and I thought about putting in a pedantic "unless the language you are using supports a type which can be either an integer or a string, and you have previously indicated that the name in question is of such a type, and the values you are attempting to assign are legal for that previously-indicated type".

But then I decided I wanted to live in a world where people don't need to write a Ph.D. thesis with a hundred pages of footnotes covering every conceivable logically-possible eventuality just to make a simple point.
Ask HN: Is the annual Nautilus subscription worth it?
I see Nautilus articles get linked here fairly regularly, but I hadn't known much about the publication until today. I like the idea of what they're doing (thematic and multidisciplinary scientific writings), but wonder if it works in the long run. Any subscribers here that recommend the switch to active readership? I'm hesitant to give more of my time to online publications since it's so easy to get sucked into reading rubbish, which is why I'm seeking some external validation before opening my wallet and schedule.

> You came up with the name, and you also paid for the domain. It's yours.

It's not that clear. It depends on what kind of an agreement was made with the co-founders about the joint ownership of intellectual property, and the business name (trademark) is intellectual property. Even a verbal agreement could constitute a binding contract. The co-founders may have also contributed to the product that the poster now wants to keep working on.

> Do you think they'll bother taking you to court?

It depends on how much money is at stake. There may be nothing worth suing for today, but if the business ever becomes successful, the co-founders could have more to gain by suing. If the poster doesn't establish a clear right to use the shared intellectual property, the risk of a lawsuit would always be lurking.

For example, the Winklevosses sued Mark Zuckerberg for using their ideas and code in Facebook, and ended up with a $65 million settlement:

"In 2004, ConnectU filed a lawsuit against Facebook alleging that creator Mark Zuckerberg had breached an oral contract to develop ConnectU and used their source code and idea to create TheFacebook.com. The suit alleged that Zuckerberg had copied their idea and illegally used source code intended for the website he was hired to create."[1]

This is why getting competent legal advice is essential.

I hate to ask, but could a creative woodworker cut it down to size? I suppose one could do some business on the side, of buying attractive but huge pieces and figuring out how to repurpose them, since the beautiful old wood doesn't exist any more.
Wouldn’t the court have a hard time condemning them based on this clause, considering they previously ordered them to go break it?
I think it depends on the scale of apps you build for. One can deploy a simple backend API or web app to a PaaS like Heroku or Zeit, or even a PaaS-like environment managed by another team, without knowing much about distributed. I would consider someone that can do that + build a modern front end as full stack.

IMO the average CRUD web app doesn't have the scale to have distributed systems problems. Also there are managed service versions of everything these days even when one scales up.

The full title is "More women attend for breast screening thanks to success of digital inclusion project" which is a bit too long.

Unicode is indeed insanely complex. There is almost no query or transform of a Unicode string you can do beyond asking its length in bytes that is at all straightforward. I suspect that very few pieces of software that 'support' Unicode and do anything non trivial with text actually do so fully correctly. It would be nice if there was a well defined 'simple' subset that handled the 80% case that could be a reasonable target for the average app to support fully.
