At least in Germany you have a legal duty to have a passport or ID card, if a police officer asks for one but you don't have it, you'll either be brought into the next police station (if you don't have a legal address) until it clears up or show up at your nearest police station within 24 hours or up to a week, depending on the situation. Though generally if you don't have it, you usually get an oral warning and have to, as mentioned, bring a valid document of identity to a police stations (sometimes not even that). Going directly to the station is very rare in my experience.

Not having a document of identity at all is grounds for a fine of up to 3000€, though if you travel from outside the EU you'll have your travel passport anyway.

Netherland and Portugal have a similar law.

Austria has a similar law but only for non-austrian persons in Austria.

When you cross borders, even in the EU, you should be prepared that you might get controlled/checked, it usually doesn't happen but it's good to be prepared.
Asynchronous I/O and event notification on linux
I think I'm going to mess with this later myself. On Manjaro I usually compile Chromium with -O3 and -march=native with no mtune or any of that but I never benchmarked it against anything. I'll do the same with Firefox. This is on coffee lake BTW.
I use it with some of my clients and it turns pretty well:

- very little footprint

- easy to dev with it, my clients are very productive once I leave them with the base code

I will be honnored if you give it a try!

Its a good idea if your tourism industry is feeling the slump from terrorist bombings, revolutions, political instability. Any publicity is to revive tourism is good.
Having to render to an RGBRGB framebuffer when we us app developers could have just rendered to an RGBG frame buffer seems wasteful.

We could have got 33% more performance and made apps 33% smaller if the framework let us not render those extra pixels which can't be shown to the user anyway.
Organizational Debt
I don’t want a model of the player at all. (And I don’t think it’s possible to make one that will solve this problem.) We are talking about how to increase the scope of FP to include the I/O layer, because it currently ends at the I/O interface. I’m arguing that it might be fundamentally, perhaps provably impossible to have pure FP when there’s unpredictable human interaction, due to the coupled dependency on intermediate state.

We do a weekly meeting every monday morning, and i think as long as you work remotly, you can be as productive as any other day while in a meeting. And if your manager is good, he will only get your attention back when needed. Actually, some of my best ideas/hacks came to me during seemingly boring (remote) meetings.

I agree with you with non-remote meetings though, they are highly improductive to me.
The usual reasoning I see on HN wrt sympathy for these execs is something along the lines of "they are worth more, so they get paid more."

The argument seems to fall apart when they are they very same people who ran the company into the ground. Tax the rich and help the poor- odds are they just got unlucky in a game that makes almost no sense.

How to disable AMP permanently on your phone:

- stop using Google feed. I can't recommend a one-stop replacement, since I use RSS to follow sites I trust to produce high-quality content and HN to discover new stuff.

- stop using other Google products that link to AMP pages. DuckDuckGo is good enough these days.

- use Firefox. That in itself might prevent Google search from showing AMP results, if you can't bear to use DDG. At least someone said so two years ago in this thread on Google's product forums https://productforums.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=t...

- install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/amp2html/ in Firefox. It still needs to load the AMP page to grab the canonical URL, but then it redirects to the non-AMP version. You can also add an adblocker like uBlock Origin while you're at it. The ability to install addons is what makes Firefox the best mobile browser in my opinion.
These implication from these articles is so stupid. This is a restructuring, which means that the company is supposed to emerge from bankruptcy as a viable company. Part of the process before filing should be getting rid of the people who got the company into trouble in the first place. But you need a good team in charge through the bankruptcy and on the other side. The idea that a debtor in possession should face some sort of executive compensation austerity simply means that all the people with options will jump ship.

It comes up when criminals have to be extradited from one state to another, and state laws. Like you have to know weapon transportation laws in states if you don't want to go to jail and have a handgun you want to put in your car.
This is so hand-wavey, I'm a bit disappointed to see it on hn.

To the article in question, yes, things can adopt sympathetic vibration, but extrapolating that to high level consciousness is a Herculean stretch.

Yet another post by another person who hasn't read the paper that they snag the title from.

You've raised two different objections here. Both reasonable:

> what would the import tax be on a macbook? How about the tax on a google search?

This policy, like any other, is less than perfect. In particular, many imports will likely go untaxed. But the administrator of the program can continuously iterate. Start with the obvious things like steel and cars, and then keep attaching prices to the most egregious outstanding goods and services.

I'm not saying this is trivial, but there are all ready many scientists who have put a lot of work into calculating the carbon footprints of things like smartphones and agricultural products.

> whoever collects this carbon tax will have an incentive to increase carbon emissions to collect more tax.

I was (perhaps mistakenly) trying to keep my comment short, and left out one or two crucial aspects of the policy I'm advocating. Definitely read the wiki page and/or the bill if you're interested. They're both quite short.

The tax can be revenue-neutral, with the proceeds divided equally among all residents of the country, who can receive it as a monthly check or deposit.

People will be paying increased prices for all the goods and services that they consume (energy providers will have raised prices in accordance with the new tax they have to pay). The result of this is that those whose carbon footprint is smaller than average will receive a dividend that is larger than the mark up they have to pay as a consumer, while those whose carbon footprint is above average will receive the same dividend, but will have to endure a markup that is greater.
>The company’s proposal will reportedly offer bonuses to 19 executives amounting to up to $8.4 million over the next six months if the company is successful in hitting certain financial goals. The employees would also be eligible for more money in bonuses if the retailer is in a position to hit those financial targets when sold, an attorney for the company reportedly said at the hearing.

It appears that the bonuses are contingent on the company hitting financial goals. This is a normal practice of a company in bankruptcy trying to retain talent during a wind-down or rebuild.
The points made are all valid, but in all of the times I’ve used XPath, the XPath side of things has been inside the code that we control - I’ve never encountered a use case where the XPath comes from an external source / is provided by the user (except on websites for experimenting with XPath queries).

Rendering to a pixel-perfect RGBG framebuffer would also be critical to enabling good subpixel antialiasing, making the best possible use of the lower-resolution screen. Interestingly a typical RGBG can be antialiased both in the horizontal and vertical orientation, quite unlike RGBRGB!
Consider the following scenario: a small number of pathogenic bacteria (perhaps 10-100) enter the human body and cause an infection.

This might be a naive question, but why do we want to assume that more than one bacteria was initially introduced? Is it just to increase the chances that at least one will find a suitable habitat and begin to reproduce, or is there actually some sort of group effect happening, whereby a larger initial concentration increases the chances of infection more than random chance would imply?
That's a great paper thank you. My own Zelig-like role was doing the 1st port of Smalltalk (HPS) to Microsoft Windows, hence my familiarity.
Magic can be as rigorous as science if written well.

Egyptian funerary practice is pretty formulaic. A quick glance at the inscriptions, and I spot some traditional offering formulae. Here's a translation from the register on the right in the picture with the label beginning 'Priests were important people':

"An offering the king gives to Osiris, foremost of the westerners, lord of Djedu, a voice offering [of bread and beer] for him at every festival and every day..."

and then it cuts off. I'd expect the inscription to continue stating that these offerings are for the spirit of the tomb's owner, along with a list of some of his offices. I spot similar offerings to Anubis. I spot the epithet "venerable", indicating that the tomb owner had a funerary cult.
I wouldn't run testing on a notebook. I mean you can if what you are possibly testing is boosting characteristics and other variables... But best bet for low variable consistent testing is a machine where you have set a static core clock speed and have disabled c-states and other power save things. Remember, you are testing differences in compile optimization. You don't want your system being a variable.

> Why aren’t the infrastructure parts taken over by the state (or managed by an accountable non-profit body), and competition encouraged for the customer facing parts?

Because the political alignment which might ideologically support that is fairly new in California, and there is significant resistance to experimentation in how electricity is managed because the last time that was done (albeit, in a deregulatory direction), it combined with federal regulatory mismanagement to create the worst energy crisis in the State's history.

I am a huge fan of C# and it’s bern my go to language for over a decade, but at this point in my career, I am not tying my horse to anything MS. MS just doesn’t seem to be gaining the mindshare with green field initiatives or smaller companies that are focused on all things JavaScript. On the other end, large enterprises are still more tied to Java than C#. Yes that makes me sad.

The only thing that Microsoft is doing that’s getting any real traction is Azure. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not abandoning C# and there is no way that I am going Java, but I am focusing more on Jsvascript and Node.
Is it paranoia, or just a sensible way for states to implement some semblance of control over their own border when a EU wide strategy seems out of reach?

You're fundamentally going to be limited by the fact that magnetic force is roughly exponential with regard to distance whereas coil springs are roughly linear. By stacking a bunch of magnets in the article they reduce the travel of any one magnet pair so it's closer to linear. If you look at short enough segment of a graph of an exponential equation it will look linear, this is basically what they're doing.
The idea of caching WebAssembly is touched upon in this article: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/webassemblys-post-mvp-futu... (see "Streaming compilation" and "Implicit HTTP caching")

Caching is also a helpful idea beyond the size of the initial download. Future compilers (cranelift), will have time to make multiple optimization passes on the instructions and save them for later.

I think Blazor might have a bright future in the Electron space. Its seems to me the stars are all aligning from that point-of-view.

Microsoft have had great success with Visual Studio Code and are now the custodians of Electron since they brought Github this year. Also, now that Microsoft are going all in on Chromium for Windows (and dropping Edge in the process) I wonder if they will introduce Blazor into Electron for better cross platform applications.

I just get the feeling there is a play there (in some fashion)

Paving the way for more efficient hydrogen cars
I've never used .NET, and don't really intend to, but I think this is interesting nonetheless.

This is on track to become a "built-in feature of ASP.NET Core 3.0" – recall that ".NET Core" runs on Linux, etc.

Much C# development is still for internal business applications. For these applications, the overhead of shipping the .NET runtime to the browser in WASM - which https://blazor.net/ sadly does not seem to mention - may not be a big deal, especially if they can be cached with service workers.

Keeping engineers fungible and cheap to hire & train is a priority for enterprise software divisions. Software ecosystems that rely on the patience and curiosity of developers to explore an uncoordinated constellation of packages and design their own architecture (eg; Java, React ecosystems) can be suboptimal.

.NET's historical "all batteries included, all applications the same" promise has been key here. But for rich frontends, Angular (their current choice) has, ah, high training costs.

If Blazor works well, .NET Core may become the first truly full-stack, integrated, get-it-all-here, framework for modern web app development.

As an uninvested bystander to enterprise software development, I'm curious to see how this goes.

So they're making up like 0.7% from fee cuts? As soon as they get big enough all debit card transactions are capped at 0.05% and like a quarter or something.

If the average transaction size is like $20 then they would not be able to make ends meet unless they took basically all of the fee for themselves.

In a universe where debit interchange fees are regulated to 0.05% and less than a quarter, I don't understand how this works.

Edit: I looked up the average debit card transaction amount, and it's over $40. The math doesn't work out at all.

Edit2: I guess if there's 3 more fed rate hikes the math might work out? That's not a good look though, if they don't increase rates along with the fed, because the gap between them and various savings account will shrink to almost nothing.
EdgeOS was really based on VyOS... which was based on Vyatta, which was still being used on major production systems even before the brocade acquisition. I have used it in prod myself. I should have said VyOs but still, the point gets across to those not looking to nitpick.
This is easily the easiest piracy situation I've ever seen: if you had an unmodified Dreamcast, a CD burner, and broadband your only steps were to pirate DiscJuggler, then the games themselves. I knew many people with Dreamcasts in this era, who bought them around launch day without even a thought of pirating, then went on to buy zero (0) additional games because it was so easy.

The conversation here seems to settle on the idea that piracy wasn't a primary cause of the system's failure, and I could hardly disagree more from what I widely observed (local + gigantic internet communities).

(Sundell's first example), I'm not seeing a 'nightmare'. It's twice as long but it still fits on one line (the way I format it), and it's only a linear problem (2N vs N), and it only occurs for a few lines of one method of some classes. For people who care, it's possible to write extensions (as Sundell does) to solve it.
