Hacking: cut with rough or heavy blows. "I watched them hack the branches"

First definition given by google. That was easy.
Along with Descent I should have mentioned Ultima Underworld, released in 1992 itself, its 3d world is rich, full of things, varied, fully realized and large. It also allowed the player to look up and down. In fact, to my eye 3D dungeon crawling hasn't radically changed after that.
Tragically, an amplifier, especially the analog ones, are just very accurate current inverters:)
Wow, a thousand a day? Is that full wages, or does it include benefits? Even if it did include benefits, $1,000/day all-in is not exactly chump change. Universal income would not pay them $1,000/day.
Over here in San Francisco, I find the problem isn't so much cars as curb cuts. "Curb cuts" are those little sections of the curb that are cut out so that cars can drive over the cross walk to get to driveways and garages.

Gerçekleri Anlatan Film İncelemesi: Diktatör Filmi – Omerfaa – Zeyrek Münzevi
You can still run the games past the exact commit of Stockfish they used and it finds blunders in its own play, so it still feels like there's a lack of transparency. But I don't think anyone strongly believes AlphaZero isn't the best at this point.
Fuchsia-ui, a prototype framework for writing Fuchsia modules in Rust
If you haven't played X-COM: Enemy Unknown, you really should give it a try. It's similar to the game you're describing, though the story for your characters is much less authored.

I bought the extra skins DLC pack and rewarded each soldier with unique armour when they reached the rank of Major. It was great.
People still install Windows software on their computers; among other things there are still printers and other peripherals with drivers that are only available for Windows (as insane as that may seem in this day and age). It is not just familiarity with the UI.
How to Replace a Bathtub Faucet in a Fraction of an Hour
You definitely aren’t restricted to lazy loading when using RouterModule.forChild, idk where you got that, just define a module, add forChild with your routes, and import it into another module. Im doing this all over our codebase.

I can understand you’re opinions about the module system, but I disagree. For a small to medium size app it can seem like annoying boilerplate that gets in the way. If you’re working on a large app across multiple teams then it’s very helpful. You have a single entry point for all relevant code. You can define the api for that module so other teams don’t misuse what you have built. It can get frustrating when you have a single component that you want to share and you need to wrap it in a module, that feels very unnecessary, but I know the angular team is working on that.

I actually really like that my components are in the dom, I can see clearly where it is, not which div with which class or Id it is. It makes inspecting the tree very easy.

RxJS can be difficult and hard to learn, which doesn’t help that the docs are meh and you can never find exactly where to go. Juniors really need someone to help them not leak subscriptions. Though if you follow Angulars promoted idea of using the async pipe, then that will automatically clean up your subscriptions. Again, for small components/apps it feels way overkill, but it feels oh so nice when your trying some complex async stuff and can handle it and pass it along so easily.
This argument needs some reason tbh.

How to approach equity at profitable unannounced unicorn startup?
I've been interviewing at a profitable startup and am about to enter the final interview round after the new year. They have around 200 employees, have received several rounds of funding in the past and seem very successful (might be the biggest company in their industry).

I know someone who used to work at that company and alleges the company is a unicorn that hasn't been revealed yet, and that not too long ago, a FAANG attempted to acquire them.

I don't know much about equity and stocks, other than the general advice to treat them like they aren't valued at anything (not counting chickens before hatching and all) and to negotiate for more salary/cash versus equity. This situation, if the particulars above are true, is an anomaly and I'm having trouble finding any info on what approach I should take here.
> Street addresses

Well, this already fails for places that don't address by street. You might think it's only some pre-industrial villages in the jungle, but examples would be some eastern European countries and Japan - some (but not all) buildings simply don't have a street address. Instead they have a number within a district. But sometimes it's a building number on a street, but it's distinct from the street's numbering system, so you can have Building 5 on st. Foo as a distinct address from 5th Foo st., where there is a completely different building. And of course there's no number on Foo st. that corresponds to Building 5. Another fun case is when there's a district Foo and a street Foo and e.g. Google Maps resolves "district Foo, building 5" as "No. 5, Foo st.". Or when the district has a number in it, so "district Foo 3, building 275" resolves to "district Foo, building 3", because of course the first Foo doesn't have a number in it - there's no Foo 1, only Foo, Foo 2, etc.

Generally all residential buildings built by the communist regime follow that system, while older buildings follow street numbers. Open Street Map actually deals amazingly well with our addresses, while Google Maps fails miserably most of the time. This is starting to become a problem as online services here are integrating google's mapping technology, e.g. an app for hailing taxis would ask you to type in your starting and destination address and if google can't make sense of it, the taxi can go to some completely wrong place. I can deal with it fine since I live here, but woe be any foreigner that would rely on Google Maps.

The postal system works just fine, but sometimes I have to enter a district name in the street field in online forms. As long as it arrives to the right country, the postal workers here can make sense of the address just fine.

All of these shenanigans do work in a hierarchical way, so you can pretty much expect to always have City, City sub-unit, Building designator as your address schema, but the actual category of City sub-unit and Building designator is sometimes "Street/number", sometimes "District/building number". You can of course simply ignore that and not have your system work in weird places, but if you're making a library for wide use and publishing it, I would appreciate it if you take into account that not everybody addresses by street/number.

Well everyone who wants to accept payments on the internet ultimately relies on VisaMasterCard. They will shut you off and get other payment processors to shut you off like happened to SubscribeStar when they set up as a Patreon competitor.

Long twitter thread on the relation between MasterCard, Visa and Patreon and how the credit card cartel is attempting to minimise political risk.

Transcript of a call with the head of Patreon’s Censorship department where they as much as say MasterCard made them do it.

I certainly fetishize it, but not as much as I fetishize good criticism. This is not it though. Please make it substantial.
It depends a lot on what your career goals are. Many startups seem to care about Github activity a lot. Corporations and less trend-seeeking small businesses less so. Though I’m sure companies exist that take StackOverflow activity into account, I’ve yet to encounter one.

My impression is that participation on these sites only matters if you’re an outlier, and that it mostly gets you incoming inquiries rather than helping to have on a resume.

If you’re the creator or major contributor to a well known open source project, that will absolutely open doors for you at certain companies that use that project.

Otherwise, participate in SO or put code on Github if it’s something you enjoy doing. But don’t force yourself to because you think it’ll have a major career impact, because chances are it won’t.
So both sites are not about hacking, no need to talk about meaning then.
Back in the days we used to solve this by developing protocols not services.
Right, similarly to my dimmers that constant gating of power draw as the brushes make and break contact just wreck your AC circuit.

Bad wiring and a sub-par setup will make that bleed right through your speakers.
Ask HN: How to protect ML models/Python code when deploying B2B?
We are building a B2B machine learning product and are running pilots with a customer (currently building models for their data on our servers).

We expect this customer will want to integrate our preprocessing and (rather complex) model generation process into their on-premise pipeline.

How do we protect our IP in this? We can of course go through some lengths to generate C++ executables or hide model-definitions in proprietary formats which seems like the wrong focus right now.

We expect for some customers with no background in ML (beyond simple supervised examples), this will not be an issue, since the generated architectures mean nothing to them.

For others with dedicated data science teams (which just lack the expertise in the niche we are in), they could probably figure out how our process works if we simply deploy python scripts generating TensorFlow models. We also suspect this depends on the sector where for some customers, it is simply too far outside their expertise to bother trying and cheaper paying us license+service fees, others not so much.

How do we protect our know-how here? Does it make sense to invest the effort to "hide" models behind abstractions and formats or should we simply focus on growth and ignore this?
Just browse the site for a bit.
When PayPal bans a site it's always for breaking their TOS. Sometimes the specific parts of that TOS are bullshit, but most of the time it turns out that it was a pretty flagrant violation of those terms.

I don't feel sorry for anyone who still uses PayPal to collect money for a use that has been specifically banned in their TOS, and anything that even starts to encroach on illegal matters falls into that. Information about how to break into computer systems (hacking) definitely falls into that and they should have known they were on shaky ground.
Was that really part of the plan to make transport more efficient? It seems to me that the plan is to make subscription based shortcuts for tesla owners, I might be wrong though.

Isn't there some regulations regarding passengers in tunnels? The tunnel is deathtrap without emergency access...

Maybe it's too busy defending teachers from not doing their jobs and doesn't have time to defend teachers doing their jobs?
I think the “hardcore” gameplay, in an attempt to give more empathy about death, would not work as expected. Based off my experience with Diablo Hardcore characters, you just stop caring about individual characters, since you know they’re expendable. The only hardcore character I remember from Diablo 3 is the first - of hundreds.

>Specifically, what's stopping a competitor from eating Paypal's lunch right now?

There's already regulations (or industry rules) regarding money laundering, credit card processing, credit card charge backs, international money transfers, etc, etc. That alone creates a decent barrier to entry.

Then there's other issues such as merchants lying, customers lying, refunds, stolen accounts, etc. PayPal closes accounts (and so on) as a consequence of trying to deal with all these issues.

I'd posit that PayPal does not suck because it's PayPal but because of the product itself and anyone who tried to fully replicate it would run into the same issues (and thus suck just as much).
The popularity is not the most important factor in a brand trial, it's the domain.

There can't be two companies with the same name in the same niche, which is what is happening here.
Oh, well, if he copied the labels that really makes a world of difference!
Paranoia.

Good friends of mine live 1/4 mile from the elementary school. There is one semi-busy street crossing, BUT there is a pedestrian tunnel. So, no there are actually no streets to cross.

Yet, the kids are bussed to school. They can't be allowed to walk 1/4 mile with ZERO street crossings! It's completely ridiculous.
Currently using zammad in production. Works well for email, website live chat, sociable media integation support channels.

Uhmmm....I work for one of the top 3 largest game publishers in the world and all of our games are made using our own engines that were done in-house. Unity and Unreal Engine are only used for prototyping(with maybe one exception in Unity, but that was a small project done by a very few people).
Yeah I mentioned it in my other comment, spinning flywheel generator with a motor on one side and generator on the other would work well here too filter out any noise.

Some datacenters have these attached to their generators to avoid the need for huge battery banks. They can actually support several megawatts. They spin constantly at the motor's rpm with a clutch that engaged when the input power is lost. This instantly jump starts the generator, at the grid's phase, and prevents
Same thing happens in EU, except it's not tax breaks but EU donations. Many businesses (and people's lives) in my country were destroyed this way.
The creator basically says "with dop you have an easy/clean API. Is like using socket.io but easier", so yes, it's more of a thin layer over Socket.io to propagate changes. It doesn't handle consensus and definitely isn't a library for shared document editing or more substantial cases that require OT or other algorithms.

There's a discussion here with the same criticisms: https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/5sm5d0/distribu...
A lot of the moves most praised by GMs are seen as the only moves in the position by Stockfish 9/10. I think there's a huge amount of cognitive dissonance going on, so that people can label AlphaZero's play more 'human'.

Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if AlphaZero lines have existed at the top of the game for some time. Would be a no brainer for someone to have made Google an offer after the first paper.
Imagine If We Paid for Food Like We Do Healthcare
Gee, if it’s that easy to find a new payment processor when Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Stripe and four others all drop you on the same day SubscribeStar should have a new payment processor by now. They don’t. It’s been three weeks. No member of the payment processing cartel will touch you if MasterVisa won’t because then they’ll get you cut off.

Oh man. So many.
Anything by Brandon Sanderson. Most of his stuff takes place in the same fantasy universe, and some of the series are starting to cross over. Stormlight Archives is the crown jewel. Edit: each series takes place on a different planet in the universe with a separate (well thought out) magic system. Different books in different series start to reveal the why's and how's and how it is all linked.

Enjoying the Expanse series right now by James Corey, sci-fi with us living on Mars and in the belt, when a dangerous alien self-replicating molecule shows up.

If science fiction is your thing, I can't recommend higher the Hyperion series.

Freedom and Deamon by Daniel Suarez were really fun, a muder mystery where the murderer is dead and uses an advanced AI to do his dealings.

The Martian was fun, if a little shorter than I typically like. Better than the movie, as nearly always.

I could go on. Gaah! So fun!

Edit: usually not a history person, but also really enjoyed The Right Stuff read by Dennis Quaid. The start of the space program.
The ASIN is embedded in the listing page URL, so if the ASIN changed, so did the URL. Out of curiosity, what’s the current URL?

If you’re tired of chasing an infringer, why don’t you hire an attorney to engage Amazon’s legal department?

A good part of the 20th century's philosophy is about this. I mean, many philosophers talked about it extensively even before (Kant? Hume?). It's not an argument, it's a whole branch of philosophy and epistemology.

I've never read a book specific to this topic but if you want one, here's one that looks good, engineer-friendly and simple enough: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/outer-limits-reason

Has anyone an idea, why Travis doesn't build with Java11 because of Mockito and how to fix it?

https://github.com/sirixdb/sirix/issues/59

I've mentioned, that I guess it's a transitive dependency and has to do with the order the dependencies are used, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know how to tell Maven to use the newer version?

Locally I'm getting a build success.
I don't know, but I just use fish for interactive use and write shell scripts using #!/bin/sh.
It's suspect it's a bit harder for the network to be overfit like this, but it's probably possible it has some gaps in its evaluation. However, those gaps would have to persist beyond its search horizon and not concretely affect material or mobility and it just seems vanishingly unlikely you'll find any systematic way to exploit anything.
Why not imagine a future where fusion technology improves to the point that there's no point in using anything else? With fission, we're already there, and taking full advantage of fission now, with breeder reactors and spent fuel reprocessing made legal again, will give us the energy to pursue fusion worldwide with a budget similar to the U.S. defense budget. Sticking to solar and other "green" energy means mass-homicidal energy austerity!
I wouldn't say she's being taken advantage of. This is a city school in a depressed area, everyone is overwhelmed (she has several hundred students across her classes), and working with near-zero budgets.

There just isn't work available within a reasonable commute distance. She'd have to move if she wanted better conditions.
Unless the electricity company accepts Bitcoin, then you've got a problem. In fact you have a problem even if they did - because the hard-cap on the number of Bitcoins means eventually, every Bitcoin will be held by the electricity company.

In fact it's worse then that - since the value of early Bitcoins is less then the value of later Bitcoins, but all Bitcoins are going up in buying power, the electricity company is eventually the richest entity in Bitcoin without even having to be malevolent.

Of course, this doesn't happen because none of them can pay their taxes (or their suppliers taxes) in Bitcoin. In fact no one using Bitcoin can - everyone eventually has to sell all their Bitcoins to someone to recover the currency they need to do that. But who's buying it then? There's a finite amount - if it stays in use it's worth more then you sold it for when you try to get it back - or, since everyone eventually has to sell it, it's worth less - and less again.
That captures a lot of my thoughts, yes! If you read German, I also found this interesting dissection of an earlier talk: http://mspr0.de/?p=4521
> If I remember rightly [..]

You're probably not wrong, but I specifically remember there was something you could do in order to trick the compiler to allow modification on the left hand side to happen. It could possibly be by having two variable names referencing the same variable - for example.

Besides, the whole point was that it's usually not clever "trying to be clever". It just creates confusion. I don't personally believe the majority of people need to test the entire C spec to it's absolute boundary. A subset serves most people perfectly well.
Descent had a huge community in the day (and still has a community). I definitely played way more Descent (8 player multi) then DOOM (back in the days of Kali).
Agreed. I think it’s probably more famous than anything mentioned, except maybe the 555.

Apologies for the sarcasm. I felt that the previous comment was very much ad hominem and the edit was particularly insidious. But you’re right, no excuse for bad form here :)
Right, you can't just shut down an area to cars and call it a day, if the overall area is still designed around cars.

My home town (Reston, VA - outside DC) is a good example of this. The subway is in the process of being expanded to reach Dulles Airport, with several stops in Reston. The area was designated a transit hub, with zoning changes to allow more density.

But, the developers and county officials continue to build campus-style offices surrounded by massive parking areas. The streets are wide, fast, and not pedestrian- or bicycle-friendly.

It's as if they expect to throw up some 15-20 story apartment buildings, a few office towers, and magically have a lovely "downtown".

Without changes to parking allowances (fewer spaces per unit), allowing smaller setbacks to property lines (maybe?), narrower roads to slow traffic, and other similar changes, we're going to end up with a massive, gridlocked mess.
The main kind of clock you can spend $3000 on is an atomic clock (usually a rubidium frequency reference). There's absolutely no point in this for an audio system, but it's a quite trendy money sink (especially because atomic clocks are if anything worse than a good crystal over short time periods and only dominant over very long time periods: if you need both you can combine them).
