> That used to be the exclusive domain of the US and Russia.

France detonated its first nuke in 1960, and put its first satellite (called Asterix) in space in 1965. So it has not been the exclusive domain of the US and Russia for more than half a century. Of course North Korea joining the club is a tad more scary...

Students should be expected to know the definition of the word trivial. I have no sympathy for students who didn't. Petitions like this are so disheartening on the state of education. Take your bad marks and use that as the learning experience.
OpenBSD in Stereo with Linux VFIO: Reverse Engineering Audio Drivers
I'd say for the same reason programs need APIs and cars need steering wheels and emotions need words. It's often very helpful to be able to understand the stack all the way down, but there's power in abstraction, and the nature of things changes as they scale while their context remains constant such that by talking about all the component pieces, you might miss the greater whole. Or at least not be able to handle it with any reasonable dexterity.
I hope so if it want to have any chance to support most software out there.

I agree with you, I would also add that parents are also as important, children with parents that get involved in homeworks and other educative tasks (like watching documentaries, stimulating critical thinking) have better results.

If someone thinks that education is the teacher job and parents should not do anything I disagree, at least not in regular schools where a teacher could have up to 25 students in a classroom.

I'm an IEEE Computer Society member, not a full member. It's a line on my resume but has never provided a lot of value for me or my career.

I was once also a member of the ACM, but since I worked in the embedded computing field (which is dominated by EEs) it wasn't as useful on a resume as the IEEE. When I had to cut back spending when kids came along I dropped it in favor of IEEE.
ISO C does not guarantee that int32_t etc are present. It says that they must be present if the platform can offer them, but if you rely on them being present, your code is no longer portable from a standard C perspective. If you want to be strictly portable, you need to use int32_least_t, int32_fast_t etc.

And yes, you can do that. The question is, why have all this complexity when in practice int32_t is there pretty much all the time - as you've said yourself - and when lots of existing code relies on it?

Same thing on other counts. Yes, you can work without all these assumptions. But why waste time on making the effort, when it simply doesn't matter?

All snark aside, why should we pay a high school paperboy a living wage?

Because we, as a society, are paying that paperboy* a living wage one way or another. The alternative is to let him starve to freeze to death. So, we build robust safety nets to catch these people - food stamps, housing assistance, etc.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to simply pay the person a living wage vs pumping the money through government programs?

That's very informative, I didn't realise the whole horizontal stabiliser itself can be a moving part - I always thought they were fixed and trim was done using the elevator surface. Thanks for the links.

So essentially, trim changes the relative 'zero point' of the elevator, and if past a certain angle, even if the pilot applied full nose-up elevator, the altered airflow over the smaller control surface would be unable to counter the altered airflow by the stabiliser itself having been adjusted. I now see why recovery is so dependent on quickly disabling the trim system and resetting the stabiliser to 'true zero'.
>Wait for X time, then calculate 3/X. Do you now have an upper bound on the probability that an alien invasion will happen?

Assuming we would observe an alien invasion and write about it, we have about 5000 years since humans started writing. So 3/5000a, so an upper bound on an alien invasion in a year (assuming p hasn't changed since we started writing) is 0,06% per year.

It's an upper bound in any case, meaning that is this or less. That includes p = 0. You're just 95% confident that it won't be higher than that.

But maybe the aliens brought us our writing system.
That's actually really interesting. Something you'd never think about unless you've actually worked on a similar application for a rather large system where a lot of long codes had to be generated.

Wait, I'm confused — I don't see anything about Republican lobbyists in her post. She writes about the Republican PR firm Definers, but nothing about Joel Kaplan, et al. From the NYT article [1]:

> Ms. Sandberg installed another friend, a well-connected Republican: Joel Kaplan, who had attended Harvard with Ms. Sandberg and later served in the George W. Bush administration.

> Mr. Kaplan prevailed on Ms. Sandberg to promote Kevin Martin, a former Federal Communications Commission chairman and fellow Bush administration veteran, to lead the company’s American lobbying efforts.

She also doesn't address the allegation that she limited the Russia investigation so as not to appear to sympathize with Democrats:

> If Facebook implicated Russia further, Mr. Kaplan said, Republicans would accuse the company of siding with Democrats. [...] Ms. Sandberg sided with Mr. Kaplan, recalled four people involved.

At what age group are you thinking? I think collaboration is a tool that can be used for good results but not all the time.

I also have no idea what do you mean by killing the competition, are children sabotaging each other somehow ?2

As an example of collaboration we were a group a students that we were solving independently math problems and next day we were helping each other on the hard ones that some could not solve, the ones that nobody could solve we would ask the teacher and he was very happy that we were asking, he helped us and then give us a new list of problems to solve. This worked because we were doing this for fun and we were not forced into it, if someone would have been forced into it he could just copy the solution and done.
Sorry, that was meant to be "ever assume", not "never assume".

And yes, POSIX C is a very good example (and I completely forgot about the function/data pointer thing... that one is probably one of the most common assumptions people rely in, and I bet most of them don't even know that it's not standard ISO C!). It's a great starting point, but POSIX being as old as it is, it doesn't include some things - e.g. it doesn't guarantee any particular size for int above and beyond ISO. At the same time, the richer POSIX API is not actually available on some platforms - notably, Win32 - so taken as a whole, it's not really a pragmatic portable superset, if you want to target all mainstream platforms.

What I was thinking about is more along the lines of, look at existing platforms that "matter", find the set of common assumptions that ISO C doesn't guarantee, but which all the platforms nevertheless provide in practice, and give an official blessing to that set.

Yes, I do have a reasonable (95% confidence, as per article) upper bound on the probability - as I haven't noticed an alien invasion during my lifetime, it seems reasonable to conclude that noticeable alien invasions are very rare events and happen less frequently than once every decade. Possibly much less frequently, possibly many orders of magnitude less frequently, possibly never, but that's how upper bounds work.
Simple answer, this is a rough upper bound. The more information about your problem you have, the better you will be able to model the probability distribution and the better priors you have on it happening.

Not commenting on the article itself, but the chosen title which is clickbait to me.

The assessment is about Office ProPlus (actually called Office 365 ProPlus - I don't know why it's called "Office ProPlus Enterprise" in the article/assessment which doesn't exist as a product). The assessment also complains about Office collecting data so I wouldn't say it is fair to say that "Microsoft’s enterprise products covertly gather personal data on users" (which really includes a lot more products than just Office). The blog posts title is actually "Impact assessment shows privacy risks Microsoft Office ProPlus Enterprise" which is more specific than "enterprise products".
Ask HN: Drop-in replacement UI for SaaS billing. Who wants to beta test?
Hey there,

I am looking to add about 10 more beta testers for Unleak (https://unleak.io).

Unleak is a drop-in replacement solution to make sure you don't have to worry about developing a billing & subscription management section in your app.

It manages initial subscription (chose plan + input credit card), the whole subscription management section (current billing cycle, previous invoices, next invoice, user info, payment methods, ...) and also offers a paywall to ask people to upgrade their subscription to access certain features.

It is framework agnostic as it's only a JS snippet you add to your product. It is a layer on top of your Stripe account, so you are not locked in the solution in any way.

What's in it for you?
+ Free Unleak account until the product is officially released
+ 4 months for free when the product is released
+ concierge service to help you set it up (that's me!)
+ the chance to shape the product according to your needs

The goal of this new round of beta testers is to uncover edge cases about the way you use Stripe.

You must have a valid Stripe account to take part in the beta.

If you are interested, please let me know at dominic@unleak.io

Thanks!
France has a long history of invading all kinds of countries, including European ones (think Napoleonic 1812). They're not hesitating to do that today when we consider Africa.

Neither South nor North Korea has either commitment or capacity or historical precedent.

North Korea is a "fake it till you make it" media scarecrow. They would not go to agressive war and they never actually claimed they want to.

If you try to do "five whys" on "Why you should fear North Korea more than France" the topic will evaporate around the third "why".

Even here, different people in different situations might see this as either choosing idealism over money or the opposite.
