You would be doing me a grave injustice to think I am an apologist for the US government, in either colored administration (blue or red), to think that I am blind to their misdeeds, such as the "original" 9/11, the day Pinochet was installed.

And well, as someone who grew up in Australia, that article is full of nothings:

- while 'rape' is used repeatedly, no-one, including either the woman involved, nor the prosecutor has ever claimed that rape or non-consensual sex occurred, only that there was a "disagreement about the use of condoms".

- In the statement Mr Assange says he has been subjected to "six years of unlawful, politicised detention without charge" - well, yes. He does say that. Others say he has subjected _himself_ to detention and exile.

- these are all claims of Assange, who hasn't released any of the text messages, just said "he has [some, but not all] of them

So when you say "Many also claim", the more accurate statement is "Assange claims".

Firstly, you're going to run into walls if you try to fully understand why the mathematics of quantum mechanics are how they are. Physicists have been going at it for decades and from what I can tell the picture is not so clear yet. What has been done though is many thousands of experiments showing that the predictions the mathematical theory makes (even the wild, unintuitive ones) are correct.

Secondly, I think you're going too deep on this whole 'prediction' thing. The algorithms in quantum computing aren't trying to model something any more than a classical algorithm does. Currently, the notion of a quantum algorithm is just a series of special logic gates that act on qubits instead of bits. What the previous poster said above is correct. Quantum computers are like classical computers with randomization except instead of real probabilities it has what are called complex amplitudes. The way the complex amplitudes behave allow for the states to interact slightly different since they can now 'interfere' with each other to cancel each other out in very specific situations. This power gives quantum computers only slightly more power the classical ones (with randomization). (Most) experts don't think quantum computers can solve NP-hard problems. This power from the interference only helps in very specific problems.

It looks like Xcode on iPad is probably happening based on some hires they've been doing. iOS 13 is also going to be a big update for iPad. Seems they're on an every other year release cycle for big iOS iPad updates - 9 introduced multitasking, 11 introduced big UI changes, and now lots of 13 rumors. I'd look at this year's new iPad hardware as a sign that they're serious about iPad as the next computing paradigm and are putting a lot of effort behind making the platform suitable for a variety of professionals.

I've been working remote for 7 years, more recently as a software developer consultant. I showed this to my wife about two hours ago and she got really excited. Neither of us like where we are living now, and have been eyeing a relocation to Texas, notably Austin or possibly Dallas. But this is definitely worth a look, based on what we've seen so far.

I'm curious if others in the tech crowd are considering the same. If you are please post your story. It would be encouraging to see other interested this offer. Heck we could be neighbors.

Yes, just like how the federal government prohibited marijuana and therefore no one in the United States of America consumes marijuana.

Someone up thread made a claim and the burden of proof was on them. Now multiple reliable sources have been provided to satisfy that proof.

You claim an unspecified law prohibit this and that this prohibition actually works. So now the burden of proof falls on you to actually cite the law and provide reliable sources of this law actually working.
Single core perf has become more than 50% better on desktop since Sandy Bridge, and it should be even more than that in TDP constrained environments like laptops because of reduced power consumption, which is partly why we now have quad core / eight thread ultrabooks. The total performance of such a device would almost certainly be more than double an X220 in a slimmer package.

Maybe 4x is your cut-off point for where it's worth it to upgrade?

The problem with advanced type inference is that the exact algorithm needs to be part of the standard for compability reasons (not just between compilers but also between compiler versions).

So for me it makes more sense to have everything that’s beyond basic in something like a lsp-language server/ide.
Thank you for the recommendation, I was not previously aware of Notion.

I'm thinking of it as a statistical hypothesis test. The null hypothesis is that they come from the same distribution. Under that hypothesis, there's only a 0.05 chance of seeing three X tests all below three Y tests. So if we see this, we can probably reject the null.

If we think X and Y distributions are both something like normal with similar variance, then we should also be able to say the chance of XXXYYY given Y is better than X is at most 0.05.

But if the distributions for X and Y can be really different, then I think you're right -- this test could be misleading! For example, say Y always takes 2 seconds, and X takes 1 second 90% of the time, but 1% of the time it takes an hour. If we run three tests of each, we'll probably only see good runs from X and conclude it's better, when it's not.
You would be surprised what number of samples does to the tests. Take t-test -- the most powerful test to check if means of 2 equivariant Gaussians differ. If you compare the asymptotic efficiency of Mann-Whiney (a distribution free test) relative to t-test is around 0.96. Of course in practice you will not have infinite samples. It then comes down when do these asymptotics kick in. Unfortunately that depends on the distribution.
Words on their own are not worth much in the long run. It's easy to pursue well-meaning plans on good days when everything is working like it's supposed to and everywhere you go people seem to be talking about the amazing stuff your "unicorn trajectory" will create. Cory Doctorow had a useful analogy[1]: if you're trying to lose weight, most of the time it isn't very difficult to resist tempting siren's call from the box of cookies in your pantry. Obviously not buying the tempting snack would have been a better (and simpler) idea, but willpower is plentiful on good days.

Obviously that's a poor risk assessment: of course it's easy to make the annoying-bug-beneficial choice when it doesn't cost much. The actual test is what happens on a very bad day when you're exhausted and worried about other problems. Most people eventually end up caving and "cheating" on their diet, simply because we're terrible at judging risks and overestimate our ability to resist temptation when it isn't actually being tested.

The solution to this problem is to have the humility to admit our weaknesses in assessing risks and how easy it can be to overestimate our own abilities. From that point of views, prudence suggests a good idea might be using the benefits available on good days to prepare for the bad days and moments of weakness. Don't allow the temptation into the house so succumbing to temptation isn't possible or involves a much higher cost.

Words that promise that you won't fall to temptation are hard to enforce on yourself if the company has as bad quarter/year and finances are tight. Instead of words, the way for as company to distinguish themselves from the mostly-empty promises of the past is to publicly remove your own ability to make the wrong choice. If your hands are tied by a Ulysses Pact[2], it doesn't matter if someone offers to drive a dump truck full of money to your house if you sell out your users[3]: the decision has already been made and you no longer have that power.

I think this is a really smart move, but not enough. Most remote employees, well, the ones they want to attract, make good money. 10k frankly isn't much, especially to uproot and move. Tulsa isn't really near anything, nor does it have a fallback job market. Speaking for myself, maybe 30k or a free small house could convince me, not 10k and a possibly discounted apartment...

Regarding wars in the middle east. US foreign policy is at the mercy of the revolving door of the military industrial complex, spearheaded by Israeli dual citizens and Zionist sympathizers (many Christians) which represent Americans in Congress. Many accuse of Israel of having a "Greater Israel" project which is identical in nature to the German Nazi "Lebensraum" in its geopolitical and racial objectives.

US Jewish lobby challenged by 'pro-peace' rival
The most powerful Jewish lobby in America is facing an unprecedented threat from a rival pro-peace pressure group that is vying for the ear of President Barack Obama.

The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy:

Expanding on their notorious 2006 article in the London Review of Books, the authors increase the megatonnage of their explosive claims about the malign influence of the pro-Israel lobby on the U.S. government. Mearsheimer and Walt, political scientists at the University of Chicago and Harvard, respectively, survey a wide coalition of pro-Israel groups and individuals, including American Jewish organizations and political donors, Christian fundamentalists, neo-con officials in the executive branch, media pundits who smear critics of Israel as anti-Semites and the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, which they characterize as having an almost unchallenged hold on Congress. This lobby, they contend, has pressured the U.S. government into Middle East policies that are strategically and morally unjustifiable: lavish financial subsidies for Israel despite its occupation of Palestinian territories; needless American confrontations with Israel's foes Syria and Iran; uncritical support of Israel's 2006 bombing of Lebanon, which violated the laws of war; and the Iraq war, which almost certainly would not have occurred had [the Israel lobby] been absent. The authors disavow conspiracy mongering, noting that the lobby's activities constitute legitimate, if misguided, interest-group politics, as American as apple pie. Considering the authors' academic credentials and the careful reasoning and meticulous documentation with which they support their claims, the book is bound to rekindle the controversy.

One problem with waiting is that as apnea worsens it can cause depression and sap your will. That's what happened to me. I knew I needed to get treatment, but that became totally disconnected from my will to start the process. My wife was the one who ended up calling the doctor to set things up.

Better to start the process early and as a side bonus not sacrifice so many brain cells to hypoxia.

It’s game over for social media in 2019.

Uh.. I think not.

For the first time, the majority of US internet users between the ages of 12 and 17 won’t use Facebook once a month this year.

Oh right, the headline and half the article is just talking as if USA = World.

Facebook is mostly a GenX and older Millennial channel, never again to be mainstream with younger generations.

Is that true across all/most countries? That just doesn't sound right to me. Because I know it's "mainstream with younger generations" in many countries, to say the least.

Yes. I probably won't port my program to a PDP-11 or a Motorola 68000. But by relying on undefined behavior or implementation-defined behavior, I am making it hard to port my program, say, from Windows/x86-64 to Debian/ARM (e.g. Raspian).

In actual use newer machines don't seem to come with much improvement in performance for a lot of tasks.

It pleases me that 4/5 hacker news comments here call out this manipulative establishment propaganda for what it is.

"We need to keep talking about how secure the technology is, how secure we want it to be, and how tech and telecommunications companies decide when to hand over our personal information. A small number of powerful companies make regular choices about when law enforcement has legitimate demands for personal information and when they may be overreaching."

Translation: the "intelligence community" is mad that apple doesnt rubber stamp their data requests and actually makes them go to court for a warrent sometimes and so they want backdoors in everything.
One possible explanation could be that his contributions were casual and not very important. However, one of his commits was over 500 hundred lines of code, and consisted of a patch that affected the very internal parts of PostgreSQL. Why was a casual contributor making large commits and merging patches in PostgreSQL? If he had gained the right to make such bold commits, he probably had to be close to the core members of the project. But if he was close to the core, why did he do only six commits and disappeared afterwards? Moreover, there is no trace about his activities in any other mailing list or repository. Why was his activity so silent even though it was a large rewrite of one of the main parts of PostgreSQL?

This is easy to explain actually.

First, these commits were all in 1996. Of the developers that were there in 1996, only Bruce Momjian is still active. Note that almost all of the other commits nearby are made by Marc Fournier, who is currently playing no role in the project, other than hosting some stuff. He certainly does not follow the pgsql-hackers mailing list; he might well not have seen the discussion mentioning Julian. I can easily understand that Bruce no longer remembers a very casual developer 14 years ago -- he must have been looking after his recently born kids by then.

Second, these commits are all in the psql code, which is a small piece of the whole core code -- only the interactive terminal application, not the backend server.

Third, one of the commits (the one you link to) mentions Jolly incorporating some code prior to it. This must refer to Jolly Chen, one of the founders of Postgres95, the project that spawned PostgreSQL from Berkeley's POSTGRES. So it seems likely that Jolly and Julian had communicated during the Postgres95 time, before PostgreSQL's time, and this might have given him commit privileges in the early CVS PostgreSQL repository, and helped him produce a patch without much discussion in the mailing lists. Note that he says Jolly had integrated "part" of his patch previously; he already had this code sitting in his computer.

Fourth, the reason this is not publicly recorded is because PostgreSQL mailing list archives start later than that -- the archives (http://archives.postgresql.... ) start in Jan 1997. The older discussion probably happened in pg95-dev@ki.net for which there doesn't seem to be any public record.
