Cool, um, specifically for cell phone devices - as Lightness Races in Orbit has mentioned in comments there - we would use like a combination of fingerprint (or, face) auth. and plus a swipe pattern for 2FA.

A different kind of problem develops from there, because even though that biometric data is "secured" and encrypted (has to be, right?) - your signature still becomes available to "sync" and other system services...

We're, then, branded. No manufacturers and designers are taking steps to ensure that this kind of (deeply personal) data stays and functions strictly offline.

... As is the only way to keep your biometrics private (and truly secure). Keeping it isolated from network.

So, what's the best way: a password, a passcode, to keep in your head - or, a universal identifier which may be "unhackable", but universally known - to whoever. This can be a legit concern, no? :-s

EDIT: Right, sry, might've strayed off-topic there.
Thanks for commenting!

And yes, more than the pencil-and-paper aspect of this, what I find striking is that it's one person working quietly and alone, with a manager who was prepared to take "Still designing" as an answer. There seems to be very little room for that in a lot of modern workplaces, and I find that rather sad.
I'm surprised you are not getting downvoted (more) by mentioning the hivemind.

The first rule of the HN hivemind is that you don't mention it.
A lambda cold start is not equivalent to starting a process. There's obviously a lot of things happening beyond that.

Does it take 500ms every time you type 'ls' in a console? That's starting a process.

> About memory, despite being shared memory, does a container in lambda running a node process use 35mb of RAM? Because that's the claim.

It's not the claim. I wouldn't object to someone saying "we charge X, lambda charge Y". But the post seems to confound implementation decisions in lamda with fundamental properties of containers and processes, which are simply not correct.
Some other good reasons to use trees/tries, besides the ones you mention:

- reasonable worst-case behaviour (think real-time apps, or adverserial scenarios)

- persistent data structures (eg HAMT), as used in Clojure, Scala & Immutable.js

And the speed boost from locality gets more dramatic every passing year as the memory gap keeps widening.
I think men wearing 'women's clothes' changes by culture, period of history and status in society.

When the church ruled the roost the important people in the church would be wearing clothes that we recognise as robes but are essentially women's clothes.

Men have cars and watches to show their wealth, in previous times garments would be more decorative for 'high value' males, with wealth to flaunt. So again 'crossing over' was possible but different.

I can't think of an era where wearing women's clothes was desirable for straight male peasants though. But, for high status males, women's clothing seems to be a common thread in history and across lots of different cultures.
Then how do monitors work with just 3 basic colors (RGB)?
You can find the same stories about Stalin coming from his "fans". How he recommended one person to attend to some baptist church to learn English. Or stories about North Korean leaders, what wise things they teach workers when they fail.
There were attempts to replace Christian symbols with Communist symbols. Like they replaced Christian trinity with Communist trinity: Lenin, Marx, Engels, for example. So they had to make up lots of legends about Lenin to make him new Jesus. How he was smart and when he was in jail he wrote with some sort of juice that made his texts invisible for guards.
I’m saying that they are equivalent bad policy, and support tight controls on both. If you research, you’ll see the opioid crisis was kicked off by doctors freely prescribing like it was candy.

Aside from online reviews, student twitters, and celebrity endorsements, Holberton School seems sketchy. Should I attend? What worries me:

sketchy marketing: (https://www.reddit.com/user/rizwakhan001) and (https://www.quora.com/profile/Alyssa-Ann-25), (https://www.quora.com/profile/Arundipta-Debnath-1). I think they pay people to answer questions with the same format: long-winded answer, and a "by the way, I suggest this good school called Holberton School!" I couldn't verify these marketers' identity online.

I looked at students' linkedin and github. I can't tell what the code does since no students hosted projects online. Also, it looks like a low percentage of students who started in 2017 actually have tech jobs. I saw some people who ended up with non tech jobs.
To each their own but finally going from a 6s (and hoping for smaller phones) I got an XS and could never see myself wanting TouchID on a phone again. Face is way faster and not impacted by clammy hands and the bezel sure isn't missed.

I'm not fully satisfied by the hardware options at the moment, same touchbar sentiment but I don't think the rest is so dire stupid crap like not including extension cables, and inflation is also a thing FWIW.

I think a really good monitor or docking/egpu box would go a long way for the laptops lack of ports. Holding on to my 2013/2015 in meantime
If you look at the last earnings report from Apple, they've now stopped reporting the number of iPhones sold. Yeah, the revenue would be growing (because they keep jacking up the prices), but I'm pretty sure the reason they made this change is that they're no longer selling that many.
More appropriate name would be "dystopia" because banning cash will have mostly adverse effects, intruducing nearly-totalitarian control over the citizens being the most important one.
I'm mid 20's and male-to-female transgender for about 6 years now. In good shape, average height, average sizes. Obviously fat has migrated over that time to give me a more feminine shape. I migrated entirely to Women's clothing like jeans and t-shirts a few years ago, I have dresses, skirts, etc, but most of it is really bland casual clothing for lounging around or going to work (no dress code at all), however I have way more options, all kinds of colors, all kinds of textures, all kinds of cuts, all kinds of patterns, everything feels absolutely amazing. I am so comfy in jeans now that I can sleep in them with no issues. I don't really pass well, but nobody has ever said anything to me negatively wearing a flowery women's cut long sleeve shirt and tight women's jeans that make my butt look wonderful. If anything, I feel much more stylish and totally physically comfortable now. Even bras aren't bad and I don't understand why they're always hurting women so much :D

Regarding pockets, I just carry a backpack with my laptop now. Phone in back pocket, tiny wallet for cards that fits in my front pocket. I will never buy women's jeans with really tiny pockets, but I feel like most retailers have figured out an acceptable size. Who even likes heavy jeans carrying around so much?

Mens clothes may have changed by now, but I remember them being stiff, feeling bad unless you paid a lot of money (not a problem for women's clothing!), having limited neutral colors with no patterns except thin stripes.

I'm so happy we're coming to a point where we can get rid of gender standards for what fabric people are allowed to wear on their bodies enforced by society.

That's not what they are doing here at all. This is a thinly veiled regulatory body which will pretty much ban/kill all PoW/PoS/or anyother pseudo science blockchain projects.

It will likely shut down once they realize corporate America has pretty much ditched blockchain and has moved on. The people who are writing optimistic comments are grasping at straws.

Blockchain industry had 5 years to go mainstream. All it did was create financial ruin for duped investors while enriching those who bought the pre-sale at restrictive amounts of capital to risk.

Blockchain is a shitty and slow database nobody asked for apart from the people selling it's tokens that is somehow necessary to appreciate and depreciate in value on terms dictated by the very controllers.

For (linear) posit, what the "last place" is varies. Versus a fixed-size significand, there is no 0.5 ulp guarantee. If you are in the regime of full precision, then there is a 0.5 ulp guarantee. The rounding also becomes logarithmic rather than linear in some domains (towards 0 and +/- inf), in which case it is 0.5 ulp log scale rather than linear, when the exponent scale is not 0.

For my log numbers under ELMA (with or without posit-ing), the sum of 2 numbers alone cannot be analyzed in a simple ulp framework I think, given the hybrid log/linear nature. Two numbers summed are both approximated in the linear domain (to 0.5 ulp linear domain, assuming alpha >= frac + 1), then summed exactly, but conversion back to the log domain when done is approximate, to 0.5 ulp in the log domain. But the result is of course not necessarily 0.5 ulp in the log domain. Multiplication, division and square root are always the exact answer however (no rounding). The sum of two log numbers could of course also be done via traditional LNS summation, in which case there is <0.5 ulp log domain error.

Kulisch accumulation throws another wrench in the issue. Summation of many log domain numbers via ELMA will usually be way more accurate than 0.5 (log domain) ulp rounding via LNS traditional summation techniques, because the compounding of error is minimized, especially when you are summing numbers of different (or slightly different) magnitudes. Kulisch accumulation for linear numbers is of course exact, so the sum of any set of numbers rounded back to traditional floating point is accurate to 0.5 ulp.
Seven years is not that big of a timeline IMO. These changes happen over a couple or more decades. IBM is still around, but it's not really a leader anymore, is it?

I've only used apple laptops since I was in high school, starting with the first release of OS X in 2001; they're long-lived enough that I've actually only owned 3 of them in that whole 17 year span. an iBook, a Powerbook, and I'm still currently using a 2012 Macbook Air.

I wince every time I buy one (with 5+ years between purchases, the ASP is quite a bit higher each time), but the longevity of the devices does really soothe the sting of the price tag.

Then again I think they're sort of on to us; I have always believed that the best thing to do, since the device will last a while, is to max out every spec that you can't change yourself later, like ram. These days, though, every spec is something you can't change yourself later; you end up having to take their overpriced upsell on every item if you want a competent machine. It's a real slap in the face that they charge you $400 over the base price just to get a reasonably sized ssd for example (500gb vs the base 128).

500gb ssds compatible with the older macs cost about $99. I don't think I'm getting 4x the value out of having no choice about it, but they know they can get away with such outrageous prices because we don't really have a choice about it.

I wish I had the link. A few years back the argument was they could make things slimmer with integrated components. Apple wanted everything to be slim. That was their differentiation.
Women's clothing is terrible; it's flimsy, often meant to be worn very tightly, the sleeves, legs, and tops in general are too short, the collars are too open. Also, tops are cut with darts for tits, which, no matter how it's done, always burns a large number of women unless they wear a padded prosthesis or avoid many types altogether depending on how much and which way they fall out of an (mythical) average or the woman that particular designer has in mind. Same for pants being cut for hips. Gender may be a construct, but darts aren't.

Sounds like this guy just found a tight shirt. If you're wearing stretchy baby tees and extremely tight jeans, I don't think shape is an issue. You might as well be wearing saran wrap or a bodysuit.
As someone who has never touched a cigarette in their life and cannot stand the stink of cigarettes I couldn't support this more. If someone wants to kill themselves slowly with cigarettes, that's their decision but don't stink up places for others. The strong prohibitions on public smoking at this point is one of the things I appreciate the most about living in the US. The smoke in certain types of establishments is a huge problem for me when visiting parts of Europe or Asia. I'd rather have people snort cocaine or shoot heroin then stink up otherwise amazing bars and render then unusable.

there are many facts about computers that seem trivial to me, but would take weeks of background to even begin to explain to my intelligent friends in other fields, so i can accept that there might be some complex topics in other disciplines where you just have to take the experts at their word. that being said, are there any economists here who can ELI5 the actual difference between private and public debt?

For the tech crowd, most probably. For the average person, I'd wager most think it's magic and the device is doing all of the vocal processing. I'm assuming this just due to how many friends/family I have to explain how their Siri actually works.

The filter command in vim allows you to use any external program to manipulate the contents of the buffer. So, if you have a CSV or TSV and want to do something like compute the sum of numbers in a column, you could write a awk or perl one-liner with the appropriate field-separator parameter and do it.

So, for a CSV, you could do something like this in perl

:% !perl -F/,/ -ane '$total += $F[3] if $F[4] =~ /Merchandise/; END {print $total;}'

This command will filter every line in the vim buffer through the perl one-liner. The perl one-liner splits the line by comma, and adds the amount in the fourth column to the total amount if the fifth column contains the word "Merchandise". The lines in the vim buffer are replaced by the computed total. I actually use this to determine how much I spend for each category in my Discover Card statement after downloading it as a CSV.

I still think there is an important difference here that made the joke[1] work in the USSR. I believe it wouldn't have worked in the US the same way.

In America, when children grow up, parents could have that talk with them about how George Washington really was a great guy and how much they appreciate if their children wouldn't cut down the cherry tree in the garden but also about how this story about George Washington is just that - a story.

I wasn't there at the time, so this is just my take on it:
I imagine in the USSR it could have been dangerous to talk to children like that and one way out was to exaggerate the stories until the child notices what's going on. Now daddy Sergei Kurekhin was doing that to the whole Soviet Union - and that's why they laughed about it.

[1] I call it a joke and not a hoax, because I think hoax kind of misses the point. I wasn't there at the time but this is my opinion: I don't think anyone believed it, I think people didn't say so partly because they didn't want to destroy the joke and partly because this was still the USSR.
