>Everyone else will just cringe after a few minutes and change to English

Due to this I decided to do immersion in Colombia and lived outside of the gringo neighborhood. No one in my neighborhood spoke English and I was forced to communicate in Spanish when buying groceries, the sim card I bought didn't work, taking tennis lessons, ordering food, etc.
I've noticed that Fortran comes up a lot when talking to people who do fluid dynamics simulations.

Curiously, it often does so in context of Python. One specific example I can remember was a library written in Fortran, with unit tests written in Python.
Surely, it just says that we keep getting a lot of great students from China.

The number of returnees has risen, but so has the overall number of non-returnees (the result of a lot more Chinese students studying in the states).

Do you mean syntax? Because if layout, then Gorgonia's tensors are actually flat dense layouts controlled by an access pattern. Gorgonia supports fortran layout as well as C layout.

Syntax is a bit painful though.

Liu Yiqian paid $170 million on his credit card once [1]. Presumably the transaction was instantaneous.

For those who can afford it BTC is by no means the only way to make such transactions quickly.

What I don't understand is why there needs to be a separate women's tournament. It's chess, not football.

Edit: I suppose that makes sense to encourage more women to play if that was an issue. (I'm used to more casual clubs where membership requires only interest and showing up.)

I hadn't heard of SIXEL (https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel/blob/master/README.md) before. It's cool to see a standard for bitmap graphics in the terminal catching on.
My approach: be in country, do the Pimsleur audio course, obsessively bang out vocab flash cards in the native script, study grammar every morning for 2-3 hours, and (the secret sauce) live with a s.o. who speaks the target language exclusively. Six months is enough to be comfortably conversational. I did it three times, and the last was so successful that the next would require a divorce!
They love to sleep. We need about 1 hour break in the morning to help them prepare for school. My partner teached me to wake up early.
Considering that they worked for $ beforehand and will likely not get more than $ at other places, there is at least the theoretical possibility that it didn't all turn to shit and that they would choose to continue working at the company for the same reason they initially started working there.

One difficulty with French is that their system of stress makes it very hard for a beginner to know when one word ends and another begins. I lived in France for a few years, and I was initially surprised that after a few months of working hard at it, I could still sometimes understand Spanish and Italian a little more easily than French (even though I don't speak them at all), just because they have per-word stress like English, but French is unusual (for Europe at least) in having per-phrase stress (not sure of the technical term for that, but I'm sure it's a thing). That was extremely frustrating. But it passed... I'd say it took about 3-4 months of immersion to learn enough stock phrases (waiters say "Vous désirez ?" and other stock protocol phrases you just get used to) and common slang, and train my ear to understand the way words melt into each other (liaisons in real life, omitted words, strange sound transformations that no one ever tells you about... I like the aspiration that appears at the end of some words in the Paris accent, I do it myself, but I can't tell you the rule for it). You just can't learn that stuff from a book or whatever. I think I was relatively good at it (at least, much better than the other English speakers in our circle, but not as good as a couple of others whose foreignness I couldn't hear at all, so they knew tricks I didn't), and I put that down to vast amounts of immersive discussion in real life and also on IRC, where I could see people transcribing what they actually say.

If they want foreigners to come and work in China, being open to that and treating them more equally is a nice way of achieving that goal.
You have no idea. Many Master Planned Communities have very restrictive CC&R's (Covenants, Codes & Restrictions) that you must contractually agree to abide to in order to buy a property there. I've seen all kinds of fun rules like only being allowed to paint your house one of the approved seven shades of beige, only using one type of roofing material, only planting trees and shrubs in any publicly facing frontage/backage/sideage from an approved list, maintaining no publicly visible weeds, maintaining a green front lawn year round and even put up a minimum amount of holiday decoration (lights) during December. Little Boxes, indeed[0].

Audio and display lag in rhythm video games is a 100% solvable problem provided:

1. The amount of lag is consistent (check, as long as you're not using Bluetooth)

2. The game is not key-sounded (pass for DDR)

3. You know how much lag there is.

Since rhythm games are deterministic, you can just offset the visuals and audio output to compensate for the delay. Keysounded games are imperfect, but it's rarely an issue unless there's a lot of lag.

The real problem is #3. Without extra, expensive equipment, there's no way to know exactly how much lag there is. It's annoying that the only real problem comes down to an inability to measure.

Ask HN: Scratch your employer's itch?
Hi everyone

I'm working at a decent employee, on a pretty specific IT topic.

I also have this idea for a startup I would like to build but there is no way I can do it on my day job (I dont even have programming tools on my job PC because I don't write software there). Even if I could, the idea would die as an internal project (they don't sell software to other companies)

The thing is that I would be the first user but on my dayjob, kind of scratching my own itch but at my job.

I find it unethical to "sell to my employer" so I was planning to be on a "free forever plan" and then look for other customers. also keeping a clear separation from my day job and my project work.

What do you think about this, is a bad idea? Is there anything I'm not seen and I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot?

Thanks!
The Tension Between Absolutes and Ambiguity in Security [video]
As a 'tech worker' myself these folks have my respect. Along with Dragonfly and some of the egregious privacy and sexual harassment issues at Google I have stopped using any Google products.

However, between this and the 20,000 Google employee/contractor walkout I have gained a lot of respect for what the individual employees are collectively doing.
You definitely can't force a draw against a higher rated player, but you can make one more likely by choosing quiet openings and simplifying in the middlegame. But it's often tricky to pull this off. If you make too many second-best moves in pursuit of simplification, you'll drift into a position that's both simple and bad. :)

A classic case of defunding the public good. Another related problem was the change in policy to allow guns in public parks - a very perverse interpretation of the 2nd amendment that just made park rangers' life more dangerous without any real benefit to 99% of the population.
I mean, I don’t know how many police New Zealand has per capita (I think regarded as the most “free” country) however isn’t it more the application of force than the quantity of police?

For awhile when I was younger I played the game of listen to an album then look up who influenced it, rinse and repeat. Found real gems this way, but along these lines I never found the track in this article. It's really good and it reminds me of E2-E4 [1] [2] by Manuel Göttsching. Which I found because the guy from LCD Soundsystem is quoted in the wikipedia article that when he did 45:33 that he wanted to make something like "E2-E4". [3] [4]

Neither of which sound like A Love Supreme [5] [6] by John Coltrane but I always associated them in my mind as a kind of their own kinda thing in music's past.

I gave the first chapter a quick read. It didn’t really seem that well thought out. He uses an example about finding out humanity disappears in the next 100 million years and then hand waves it as overblown, but it wasn’t really clear on what timescale he was talking about. It also seemed like he was broadly describing transhumanism and then calling it a bad thing, as though humanity evolving through means beyond DNA are not humans at all.

I would argue that personal circumstance is significantly more indicative of success than a generalized statistic.
You are missing the point here. No one is doubting the usefulness of reusable code or common components.

Its about developers spending time on what they think needs to be refactored due to the engineering itch on an already functional and maintainable code. Most times by doing it they can be introducing instability to the whole system. In a larger code base with handful of engineers and teams it becomes a bottleneck to make quick changes since it can break others stuff so too much interaction and policy around it and so forth.
I could see it being considered both. I've also heard it applied to congress critters and senators. For every person that contacts them, they equate it to equaling a certain percentage of the people they represent. I've heard the weight of a phone call vs hand written letter vs email are different, but that was some time ago. It makes sense that when a small number/percentage of the people make contact out of a group in the thousands that some sort of statistical method would be used. These representatives should pay more attention the people as that is who puts them in their job. It doesn't really apply to corporations as they will just replace the squeaky wheels even if it's not the best thing to do morally/socially. They only care about this quarter's earnings. It's the rare company that will fix the squeak rather than replacing it, and they should be highlighted when it happens.

ANSI C looks pretty different to K&R C, especially in the function declaration syntax. The only difference is Fortran had its facelift just a little later.
Historically, whenever there's advancement in technology. Powers that control the current will get challenged, and so far, it has been for the better for the majority.

We've gone a long way from being serfs who have almost no rights, even the right to read and write.. to citizens who can communicate via the internet.

Advancement in technology will/have make current powers obsolete. Robots and algorithms have been taking more work since the stone age.

Better tools, means more surplus, means more time to think critically, more time to comment over the internet, or read books.

The only problem is that we probably won't see any observable improvement in one lifetime. It is however, also very possible that the incumbent powers put an end to our civilization. Hopefully enough people like these Google employees, Snowden, Assange will be there to stop fascism.
I'm not reputable, but my employer Red Hat, is, and I have a great example for you.

Traditionally, most content we productized was delivered to end-users in the form of an RPM. This is important because it ensures we deliver content is a reliable and reproducible manner. The RPM works well because it supports multiple architectures, handles dependencies, etc.

Enter containers. To ship these products on our container platform Openshift, we built Docker images and their Dockerfile basically just had some common stuff and then installed the RPMs we publish already to install the particular application we intend to deliver as a container. Nothing super crazy, no huge wins here, just a bit of extra work actually.

However, I work on a new project that is specific to Kubernetes and Openshift, and our platform is oriented around running containers. On this project, we have some really huge Java applications that I need to package up as a container. However, traditionally that meant I had to also build an RPM. Let me tell you, packaging huge Java applications (like HDFS) as an RPM isn't exactly fun, especially when they themselves have tons of dependencies which you need to also package as an RPM. When I looked at this task, I was estimating a few months of work. We have tools to import things into our systems, but it still requires both packaging, and building a bunch of individual RPMs for each dependency.

After some convincing and arguing, we a new pattern which allows us to bypass building any RPMs in some cases where the application is not going to be delivered outside of the container platform. This meant we could directly build Docker images, which ended up making the actual process a lot easier. We still need to import the sources and things into our systems, but we can avoid the potentially hundreds of RPMs that we would have needed to make before, and build a single Docker image which just downloads the final artifacts we've built internally. This process took a few weeks compared to the months I was originally anticipating.

In the end, I had to build a Docker image anyways, but the value came from being able to basically completely avoid having to build content in a system that provided me no direct value, and in my scenario, effectively only added more steps. I still use that system for other stuff and love it, it works really well and does provide value, but in my other use-case, it was more about using existing process because it's what we have, not because it's what we needed, which is why things changed.
Where do people get the idea one resource is supposed to teach you a language? As someone who has learned and uses multiple foreign languages Rosetta stone, pimsleur, duo linguo are all fantastic tools for their indended use cases but language requires reading, writing, listening(to natives), speaking and many other smaller skills. With just whats available on the internet and mail you could learn a language in a matter of years but so many people complain because 1 app didn’t teach them in 3 months what it took their entire life to learn in their native language.

Are you suggesting there are more street fights involving guns (or any weapon) than street fights that do not? I’m not sure what part of the world you live in but in my experience that is not the case (never seen a street fight with a weapon, have seen 40-50 street fights).

Spending 10000 hours palm fisiting a piece of steal in a quiet room after working on your breathing for 30 seconds has no practical application in these situations.

Spending 10000 hours properly escaping someone fully committed to strangling you while they have you mounted, or better yet preventing that situation from occurring with takedown defense / offense and effective clinching has a variety of practical applications in these situations.

Same. Seems like a straightforward implementation. Only downside is I'm not sure there is a Fortran sys/regex analogue?

Exactly this. I’m the DevOps lead at my current company and my life would be hell if I had to manage not only remote machines but also local dev machines and all the package versions, dependencies, etc, that can differ. Docker adds some overhead and some headaches, sure, but once we got our CI/CD pipeline running with Docker life got about ten times easier because we weren’t spending hours in a Slack channel trying to chase down a package that someone forgot to upgrade or compiled with the wrong modules.
It's more complicated than that. I'm not the only founder and funds were raised from small investors w/ a SAFE.
