Speaking with a guy from a forestry service who studied fire impact mitigation strategies, apparently the cheapest, effective approach is for each home to have an emergency water sprinkling system that covers the entire house and as much of the property as the owner wants to preserve.

Sure there's a cost to this but is it really so much different that having sprinklers in high rise residential buildings?
> Snowden leaks in 2013 were greeted with general apathy

This really isn't how I remember it. I was at Google at the time, and it very clearly marked a decisive shift in Google's public reputation. And not just among the privacy-conscious HN crowd, but for the first time I had laymen acquaintances accosting me about how Google exploited users and their privacy etc etc.

There were always rumblings of this kind of thing, but there was a clear discontinuity: in the layman's imagination, Google went from "generally liked, with occasional mirthful teasing about being a Panopticon", to "indispensable but mostly evil (like Microsoft/Amazon/Facebook, etc)".
The interconnect latencies give you something like an extra 50 nanoseconds[1]. That matters when accessing memory. Not so much for PCIe, where your base latency is most of a microsecond[2][3]. There seems to be plenty of bandwidth to handle it, too.

This solution bundles all of the attributes into the same type, which comes with the downside that it's impossible to represent a single attribute without also receiving all the other attributes.

I think that the best solution in Haskell would be to group the types in a typeclass. However then the typeclass is not directly associated with the p or img value constructors. I wonder if there is some way to use dependent types to improve this situation.
Then they made a bad standard to start with.

Also regarding tooling, that isn't quite true, as they have engaged with LunarG for Vulkan, because they have learned from lack of OpenGL adoption, that the large majority of games developers wouldn't even bother without a proper SDK.
What reading would you recommend about Chinese ride sharing companies in Canada?

> In order to do business in China, non-Chinese companies must partner with a Chinese company.

When will people stop droning the same tune over and over? Have you ever seen the situation on the ground? A foreign company can establish a wholely owned company in China with pretty much any business scope with 3 wide exception categories: mining strategic metals, news business (how Chinese editions of foreign media are done is a very long story,) seed stock (say thanks to Monsanto executive who was smart enough to thrown an insult on a Chinese official.) And this was true for at least a decade.

Perhaps a doubling cube can be used like in backgammon, ie, one player can up the ante, in a draw-ish situation. Ie, staring at a draw, one player says: let's play for a win, but at double the points, if the other player accepts game continues. If other player rejects the doubling, he is considered to have conceded the game at the original 1pt stake.
Thanks for explaining further, that's a finer reply than I deserved. Well, I didn't know where that was, or the wider story. What do I know, I've never been in that situation. Good luck, I hope to read your book one day. :-)
tl;dr context switching gives good perf
First impression was that it's not immediately clear or intuitive where I was supposed to type my note.

"Everything you type here will save automatically." Where is here?

The cursor does not default to the text area. So you when you click to the "write" page and start typing, nothing happens. There is no border around this mystery writing text box, just blank white space that flows into the edges of the page.

The formatting tools box at the top was appearing then disappearing seemingly randomly. Until I realized it's only available when you highlight the text, then disappears when nothing is highlighted and is then covered/replaced by a link to the home page. Why not just show the formatting at all times? If someone never highlights the text, or does it quickly, they might not even know they have the ability to format the text.

I think all of these can easily be adapted/iterated (if these views are encountered by not just me). Overall it's a very nice product.

Thanks for sharing!
This forum only has a few kinds of purely political topics and one of them, oddly, is anti-China stuff. I don't understand it at all.

About the headline... the US and its allies have stolen from and taken advantage of colonial countries like China for hundreds of years, and that is directly responsible for the technological and economic advantage currently enjoyed by the US - not western rationalism, "democracy" or some other warmed-over, quietly racist answer like that. American companies can pay Chinese people shit for grueling tasks and bring home superprofits from their labor and have been doing exactly that for decades and decades. The Chinese state sometimes goes along with this and sometimes does not and "steals" technology back.

Stop buying into this nationalistic nonsense of us vs them. You are all going to get us sucked into a world war. Instead, consider asking if the interests of the billionaires who "own" these technologies that are being "stolen" align with yours. Spoiler alert: if you're not a billionaire, you have less interests in common with US billionaires than with Chinese workers.

Class struggle is heating up in the United States and in China and competing companies have less room to continue exploiting people without violent resistance, so they need to distract people by telling them to go to war with Eastasia again. Please don't fall for it.

> We are collecting stories from devs all over the world and plan to release all data to the public (for free!) so that no more fellow devs will have to suffer

If I filled your form out, I would expect that all the data I entered would be released to the public. You then turn around and contradict that in the form, making it less clear about what I should expect. You need to be consistent in both places, and link to a more detailed explanation on how this data will be anonymized and shared.

This also makes it less clear whether other fields will be shared publicly. Is field 7 going to be public or is it just something I'm sharing with you? I'm honestly not sure about that now.

I remember hearing that after WW2 processed foods were seen as futuristic. It was more consistent batch to batch, less likely to spoil, and safer to eat. After a few generations of that it's seen as generic and bland.

This digging up of pre-industrialized food cherry picks the best of each area and uses higher standards for food quality and safety (that would have been unfeasible generations ago).

I'm not knocking regional food, I'm glad this is happening and love to see and try new things. I hate seeing the US covered by the same handful of chain restaurants.

I just take a holiday. I use (Mozilla's) Pocket and shove a lot of things in there. When on holiday, I go through my articles.
I wasn't talking about law, I was talking about ethics.

"There is nothing fundamentally universally wrong to cheat at an exam beside the fact you may be harming yourself."

I don't understand that, I have no idea where you got that. Or what those words "fundamentally" and "universally" add. I say it's wrong, you say "Oh, but it's not fundamentally, universally wrong".. As if it's clear what that means.

For example: You may have harmed the people who didn't get good enough marks because you cheated your way into higher marks. Then you may harm people in your career that you're not qualified for, besides stopping properly qualified people from doing their jobs. I don't want an airlane pilot or doctor that bought their degree or cheated in exams, thanks. Anyway, it seems ridiculous that I have to explain to people why cheating's bad. Well, I don't know, maybe you are in a country where it's normal, perfectly fine, accepted, everyone does it. Where I come from, people don't have to have it explained to them why it's bad.
A new hugo theme with a blog
Sure #1 is what it all comes down to, but how much are you in control of the calories that you burn? You can find scientific studies as far back as the Minnesota Starvation Experiment that shows that your body tries to maintain homeostasis when calories are reduced via regular caloric restriction, or with extreme overfeeding.

Weight, like much of the bodies processes is a strictly hormonally regulated, the the biochemistry/process of fat burning is actually pretty well understood. Oxidation of fatty acids competes w/ glucose (which is generally preferred), known as the glucose-fatty acid, or Randall cycle (doi: 10.1007/s10545-010-9061-2, PMC2950079).

The easiest way to increase FAO is therefore to reduce availability of glucose (don't eat carbs, or simply don't eat). This also lowers insulin levels, which independently inhibits lipolysis. (doi: 10.2337/db08-0281)

What's also interesting is that as you fast, your ghrelin levels (hunger hormone) goes down (as does insulin, cortisol spikes) - doi: 10.1210/jc.2004-0604

I know everyone's an expert here on HN and I'm glad you were able to lose some weight, but #2 has no scientific or statistical basis, and #3 is prima facie laughable and its hard to imagine any animal surviving if that were the case. (Just stick to tasty natural, minimally processed, real food and you'll be fine).
I'm finding it very hard to believe a student who did well in MIT or Berkeley can "on average" be outperformed by someone who is self-taught. I'm not suggesting all students in top schools are good, or nobody self-taught is good, but in my experience there is a strong correlation. I'm also surprised that (1) people had a differing experience in this thread and (2) I'm downvoted for expressing my experience.

Disclaimer: I taught CS classes in both Berkeley and MIT.
is that because supply is rising or demand is falling?
It seems to me that the learning curve is much more of a precipice, no? Of all the gym bouldering problems, only a few are rated for absolute beginners - the rest are much harder. Even the V-grade of, "0" is compared roughly to a 5.10 roped climb. In at least my bouldering space, you'll simply run out of things to do, quickly, as a beginner.

It may be also where I train, as the gym isn't one specifically geared towards beginners, the grades may not be as inflated as other places, and the route setters read like a who's-who of American sport climbers (Matty Hong, Jon Cardwell, etc).

I understand you're referring to the broader picture, but in the specific case of Hopkins and Bloomberg's gift, the pattern-matching feels a bit off.

> Why do most such schools admit fewer students per capita than they did in 1950?

This is just one data point, but I'm a Hopkins alum, and the current freshman class is 30% larger than my freshman class was in 2001. That exceeds the growth rate of the US population over the same time period, although I'm not sure about the equivalent growth rate of college-freshman-aged population specifically.

Admissions growth requires new dorm construction, which typically involves a large donation for naming rights.

> Why are they so interested in discriminatory children-of-alumni admissions?

I think this effect is more pronounced in the Ivy League, partially due to the schools being much older. I only ever met a handful of legacy students at Hopkins.

Related to legacy admissions, from what I remember, the JHU alumni giving rate is a bit sub-par, which is a contributing factor to its endowment being smaller than peer schools'. There are even several cases of campus buildings going nameless for decades while awaiting a donor. One example, a building constructed in 1988 was called "New Engineering Building" until a donor was found in 2012. Another example, two dorms built in the early 80s are still called "Building A" and "Building B". (All the other dorms are named after alums...)
> They're complex in the sense that they do not follow the rules of the surrounding system.

And this is exactly why they are useful. You can do things with it that you cannot do in any other way. Practical things, I want to mention.

Some examples: conditional compilation based on feature set. Automatic insertion of additional arguments (like __FILE__, __LINE__, or the sizeof of arguments). Conversion of identifiers to C strings. Computations such as getting the offset of a member in a struct. Ad-hoc code and datastructure generation.

Many of these could be individually replaced with complex features built into the core of the language, by making arbitrary ad-hoc decisions that would be hard to standardize and would probably kill the language.

> Not knowing whether `f()` is a syntax error or not removes a huge part of the foundation that people use to read code they do not know 100%

It's your responsibility to match parentheses when required (which is almost always). That's easy for a macro that is usually 1, or at most 5 lines. And if something goes wrong, it's usually not that hard to find the error and fix it. You need to be aware of some gotchas though (wrap expressions in parens, don't do naked if statements or blocks but wrap them in do..while(0)). That means you will get to learn the C syntax more intimately.
I can think of quite a few qualified people that'd be happy to move to a small town in the middle of nowhere, if they could work in a place like Google, get the same paycheck as their colleagues in California offices, but have a significantly lower cost of living. So I don't think that's really a problem - they would certainly have enough people to kickstart such a thing, and then it would just grow.
Scientific research reveals why some people love coffee and others tea
Yes. Learning is yourself. (University is also supposed to be about learning, although this is only partially true as it is implemented.) They have exam you can test, but that is difference from learning, although if you know the answer then you can see if you know the subject being learned. But you do not have to learn only that way; you can do many thing such as to read a book, figure out by yourself, or in this case, to attend the lecture. If you have a question because you do not understand the lecture, then you should ask, and that is how you can learn. Also, examsmanship is not same as learning the other subject, but, still you can learn examsmanship too. Noticed I mentioned before, I might to accept if the stuff you did for the cheating is subject of the class anyways such that it mean is good at it, then perhaps you can earn "SG" (meaning that, you pass regardless of what is your mark).

But still, memorization is not the same as learning. That is one thing that the test is not always so good; whether or not is "ethic" and/or legal is independence from that, because if you understand, then you can do, but if you know the word but don't actually know what is the significance, then you might answer the question same like that one but not the difference question that you can actually use.

(I remember once on one exam, the last question I did not know, and cheated off of someone who also didn't know and was cheating off of me (I don't know if they were cheating on other questions too or not, only that it is for last question), so in this case we cheat off of each other. Of course it is no good compared to all of the effort they mentioned above, but still you can see, you can be cheating off of each other the same question. I think this is the only instance of cheating on exams I have done, although once I tried to use the "coughing code" (without telling anyone!!!) just to see if I can, and not because I actually wanted to cheat, because I don't want to cheat.)

I want to disagree. Complexity of implementation is never a good thing. If you cannot truly hide it, bad thing (for the user of the API/language/etc). If you can, it's unwarranted complexity in the first place.

Furthermore, in companies that offer actual paid vacation, you are typically obligated to use some each year, which means when you book your time off, it is almost unheard of for a manager to claim you are actually needed in the office due to "crunch time" etc....which could very well screw up the company's tax accounting.

Meanwhile, in the scam world of "unlimited PTO", I have found it is common for managers to ask that employees delay or reschedule vacation.

Anyway this whole subthread illustrates that many HN readers lack basic financial literacy...they don't even understand their own compensation

Hi everyone. I created this website because I want to solve some of the problem that I have when mocking an API.
1. I need a mock that uses the same function as the real API.
2. The mock API must have the same path as the actual API so that integrations and switching between dev and prod is easier.
3. Delay so I can test loading time.
First off, great for giving the money.

> Together, the federal and state governments should make a new commitment to improving access to college and reducing the often prohibitive burdens debt places on so many students and families.

Why are we pushing college? We don't need everyone to have a college degree. We need plumbers, general contractors, electricians. We need the society to not look down on laborers. We need to get high school students into training programs for these careers. We need them to actually think about what they're doing on the job.

I went for a walk the other day. There is a woman on a ladder scrapping away at loose the paint. The house is about 100 years old. The wood was original. Even in places where a siding profile changed, the wood is probably 60 years old. She had no face mask. No 7mm plastic tarp 3 ft from the house. No water spray bottle. No paint remover that keeps the dust down. No low temp IR system to make peeling faster.

I told her it was lead paint. I said if she kept that up, she'd die (perhaps a bit of an exaggeration on one house, but if she does that at all of them, it will add up). I told her to get a P100 face mask. She said she'd tell her boss. This is basic EPA lead abatement training. There are free videos from the EPA and States (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NKJ6zuVvTY). Next day, lead chips on the ground. Her on the ladder as before.

We need to train the next generation of intelligent laborers. We don't need more people walking out with Comm. degrees because society told them to go to college.

Simply knowing that I "can" do thing that I did not think I could do has opened up a variety of possibilities.
