I arranged everything on day I needed to move on (except in Dushanbe where I arranged the transport to Khrough via the hostel, who I just told the night before). Worked even on the Monday after Tajikistan's Independence day (when I needed to head to Murghab), so you shouldn't have many problems.

Just go to whatever the local meeting point early enough and you'll get a ride. Tend to leave by 10-11am IIRC. Try to get the front seat as they'll overpack the cars to an extreme.

I only did the main route and didn't head down to the Wakhan valley, where I gather you need to find people to travel with to cover the costs.

Random tips / things to be aware of:

* Breakdowns seems to be pretty normal. They do know how to fix their cars though so you shouldn't panic. Had this happen twice on the Khrough -> Mughrab section.

* There are some lovely villages on the road to Roshtqala. I did a homestay in Tusen and the scenery around there is amazing. The place marked as "Shokhdara Bus Station" in Khrough on OSM is where you go to get transport here.

* Public transport between closer villages and around Khrough is pretty reliable but it doesn't run on Sundays. Bit of an adventure to get though.

* ATMs exist in Khrough and do accept Visa, but none as far as I'm aware in Mughrab (And the banks weren't open in Mughrab while I was there due to the time of year)

* No accommodation in the Pamirs has persistent internet connectivity, even if they advertise it. It's all 3G/4G connections they leave on only for a few hours a day (if that). This becomes an issue when you need to figure out where to stay in the next place on your route.

* The GBAO permit is cheaper if you do it in Dushanbe and don't get it with your evisa.

* Caravanistan and its forum has so much useful information. Planned my whole trip around the site.

Competes with the Accord?
Why anyone would spend $40K plus on a vehicle baffles me, but that being said, if the article is accurate, good on Tesla for being such a rival to the other established brands against all odds.
I switched from a MacBook to a Surface Pro (i5) maybe a year ago and just finished switching back to the same MacBook. I agree that Microsoft's vision for pro users is much clearer than Apple's, which is why I switched in the first place. The Surface hardware is solid for the most part, the Surface Dock is great, the pen is occasionally useful, and I really like being able to rip off the keyboard and use it as a tablet for reading instead of carrying another device. But between missing the craftsmanship of indie Mac apps and putting up with the general flakiness of Windows, I finally gave up on the Surface. Now maybe it would've helped if I got the i7 Surface (& 16 gb RAM) and just put up with the resulting fan noise (or went with the Surface Book instead), but I think it says something about the state of Windows that my 1.3 GHz Core M MacBook is smoother and more reliable than a Surface Pro that's 3 years newer and has double the clock speed.

Tesla doesn't release US-only numbers, so the article is factually incorrect, and thus its conclusion is also incorrect.

The lunar night is two weeks long and it dips down to -173 degrees C. I suppose it is too much to hope for that they'll be able to keep these samples alive for very long.
Background music is a very tough business. This article was focused on the custom and boutique programming end for highly brand conscience clients. I co-founded Trusonic and competed with Muzak and DMX for several years eventually servicing 50,000 locations. It is a competitive business at scale. There are companies that are willing to pay top dollar for music programmers who will completely customize playlists for a brand, but these are somewhat rare and not necessarily the business one looks to engage due to the labor required.
How can we record Look Up words in macOS?
Definitely true about newer cars. My wife and I shop for cars specifically looking at the back window being small and raised too high as an automatic NO. We last bought in 2011, and the car has one of the largest back windows on the road today. I don't know what we're going to do when it's time for an upgrade.

I don't think there's enough evidence to suggest that stay-at-home dad would result in worse outcome of children. So, it would be fair to criticize men if men aren't sharing the burden of raising the children 50/50 (after the first year or so of nursing period is over).
Disclaimer: it depends. :) Since that's not a good answer at all, I'm going to write the rest of this as if I have the answer, even though I know I do not, because it's deeply situational.

Equal care does need to come from the other side of the contract. Most frequently, I see teams B, C, and D in a polyrepo world do the worst of all worlds: take dependencies liberally, pin them in place, and try to forget about them. Of course, high functioning engineering teams (and cultures) will try and avoid this: they will be thoughtful about dependencies, and they will keep them up to date. In practice, they most frequently do not. This is especially true in the enterprise broadly. When we get it wrong, and take a dependency we wish we hadn't, how do we know? When do we know? What is our recourse? If I depend on code in the monorepo that diverges, I'm more likely to know near to the point of divergence (because of the nature of the system). That means the conversation about how to fix it happens sooner. I'm not interested in avoiding error - that's going to happen. I'm interested in how close to the introduction of the error do we understand it, and how do we communicate about its remediation.

As far as CI and global coordination goes, the cost is high in either direction if the system is distributed, and the solutions are similar in my experience. I think the worst case is the mixed one (which is a world I inhabit) - you wind up splitting your investment in both style and effort across both approaches. With the monorepo style, one big advantage is where the complex CI interactions can be encoded, since you have access to more of the code itself. Granted, at scale, you likely are testing against artifacts rather than point in time commits outside of the component in question (this is very similar to what you're going to do in a polyrepo, too.)

I think solid testing design requires real effort and understanding of the system under test, regardless of repository layout. Which brings us back to communications again. The more you can see, and the more clearly experienced the pain is across the teams, the more likely you are to have the critical conversations needed to improve the system - rather than making local fixes ("my teams tests are fast", "their component sucks").
Ask HN: What will happen if I request Facebook not use my OpenSource software?
I would like to release some OpenSource projects. But I don't want it to be used for evil. This includes companies that help ICE, companies like Facebook that enabled Cambridge Analytica etc.

I know there is no legal way through licensing since OpenSource license gives them all the rights. But what if I say in the README that the software cannot be used for evil. Specifically call out that Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, Palantir etc cannot use my software.

Obviously I will be blacklisted by those companies to never hire me, which is fine by me. But what else am I missing? Will there be other consequences?

Coincidentally, I backed the Leap on Kickstarter back in 2011 or whenever it was, as well. They've updated the software but never [needed?] to release a v2 of their hardware.

My reply on this is: it's a mixed bag, and while several of their launch demos indeed make use of Leap, I was somewhat surprised by the degree to which there seems to be an undercurrent of disdain for it in the Looking Glass ecosystem, which is still small enough to be a first-name basis kind of affair. (eg it's a perfect time to get in on something verified awesome)

From my perspective as a Unity dev, getting the Leap integration working was the hardest part. In fact, if I'm honest, I gave up before succeeding.

Here's the double-edged sword: apparently, getting 1:1 mapping between the Leap and whatever you're building is tricky... but kids freaking love it. So, if you're looking to get young people excited or planning to build something that only makes sense with a Leap, then sure... go for it.

However, it's tiring to use for long periods and I find only half-good at continuously tracking fingers. Good news is that there's apparently SDK support coming for depth cameras which could go a long way towards replacing the need for the Leap in the ecosystem. It seems like the hard thing which Leap figured out was the identification of fingers and gesture tracking. There's lots of devices out there which can do cool depth or time-of-flight sensing, but you still have to process a stream and make sense of it in near-realtime. So for a $100 gadget that does a 70% good job of this without a lot of coding smarts required, Leap was ahead of its time.

Sorry, I know this was a bit all over the place and I sound like I'm waffling. Perhaps it comes down to a combination of "is $100 a big deal to you?" + "do you imagine building apps that rely on gesture control?" + "are you patient when it comes to iterative troubleshooting and integration in Unity?"
The US also put animals inside sealed containers on the moon, the only difference is they all left.

Does that really need downvoting into oblivion?
Honestly, I’m content to agree to disagree. I’ve had this conversation too often to repeat it here. The criticisms aren’t novel; I’m sure they’re easily found elsewhere on the Internet.
That's a good point. That is a big difference with Dwarf Fortress. It's definitely a masterpiece of game design.

To donavanm's point that you need writers to create engaging content, as you've pointed out Dwarf Fortress has writers--they're just operating on a different level.

But I still think the learning curve is a big part of it. Just look at how many "Get started with Dwarf Fortress" tutorials are out there.
And bought a copy... ran it and the accompanying sample game, and it looks perfect for the job!

We had tried Lua and Love before but find pico-8 sets a better environment.
It's going to be speculated on as soon as exchanges list it.
I've got my mirrors set as the article describes. I've had motorcycles zip by right beside the car, splitting lanes. I saw them coming, and had them in complete view from when they entered the rearview mirror to the side mirror to out the side window.

I've measured the exact point at which an object leaves the field of vision of the side mirror, and I'm pretty sure it's slightly ahead of the driver side window, at which point glancing at the mirror will see them anyway. There's potentially a blind spot if a motorcyclist or bicyclist is on the far side of the lane next to you (not close to the car, but lined up with it), but as long as you change lanes slowly and don't just barrel across 4 lanes of traffic you'll see them long before you hit them.
Sure, but you can't criticize SDC's by saying that they have the same failure modes as humans. The comment I was referring to was suggesting that they'd have some sort of mass failure mode, in which some substantial percentage of all operating SDC's in an area would crash simultaneously. That is clearly not going to happen.

It’s easy to encode the universe into a single binary bit. It’s the decoding bit that presents a challenge.
I don't know, I think this case is pretty flimsy. In practice, the value of an open redirect against modern applications is for "phishing". But speaking as someone who has dealt with several ATO dramas over the past two years: users will click on anything. They're not hovering over links to make sure they're safe.

Open redirects are worth fixing, but they're a lot more common than I think people expect they are. I think the severity:low the "good" (unconstrained, straightforward links, persistent, across all browsers) ones get is well measured.

I see open redirects as sort of the archetype of the "t-shirt vulnerability" --- the one the bug bounty sends you swag, instead of cash, for finding.

It's worth expanding on that downside: the interaction can be asynchronous, it's not a requirement that the two parties be online at the "same time" or even in the same week.

In other words, less of a downside than it may seem, but it is a real shortcoming since it precludes sending to the equivalent of a cold wallet.
> This wasn't written for a technical audience (or they wouldn't have had to explain what each band was)...

The article appeared in the monthly magazine of IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, so the audience is not completely non-technical.

However, having seen IEEE's decline first-hand over the past 25 years, they are clearly dumbing things down a bit to cater for all types of audiences, including non-EEs. Even their website now just uses the slogan "The world's largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology", and many of its articles now fall into the styles of those of retail science magazines.
For RF work it's common to have to send a signal at a nanosecond resolution to be received properly due to time sharing.
I find it wonderfully ironic (and also just wonderful) that Amazon used some OSS written in Rust done as an experiment, and then forked it into production code running on AWS.

This also checks off a piece of software that I wanted to see written.
At least on my car (09 Honda Fit), there isn't one of those. A motorcycle coming from the back enters the side mirror field of view before it leaves the rear mirror field of view.
When thinking about a cryptocurrency, there are a bunch of different attack surfaces (to name a few):

* client (wallet)

* network from client to node (network)

* node

* network node to node (consensus)

* ledger

Each one has a different attack surface and threat model. Mimblewimble is a neat solution to the ledger, at rest, threat model. I still think zcash is the king right now when it comes to privacy, but obviously mimblewimble is a cool approach to scaling. It’s a really fascinating space.
Like garbage mortgages? While I'd really like to believe companies will act appropriately for their own long-term success, in reality the people working there look out for themselves and are just a job hop away from a fresh start at a different finance company. I see this in tech all the time where developers at agencies pound out horrible code with no long-term care for what they deliver, just that they meet the request in the here and now.
There's nothing wrong with leasing transport. Almost all of NTT's network is leased, and pretty much everyone agrees they're a top flight network.

The thing that makes HE unique is that they only sell full ports. They don't do fractional billing or 95/5. You pay for 10gigs on that 10gig circuit, regardless of use. This leads to networks running HE ports near max load at peak time. From HE perspective, this is great because it's super easy to plan for and scale out. You're never surprised by a customer who goes from 3 gigs to 92 gigs on that 100gig circuit.

Learn Haskell. Seriously. It dramatically improved how I write C++. And I have been writing C++ for 25+ years.
I personally bought two (used, on loan) EVs to replace two fossil cars. This sort of change is pretty easy since it requires no lifestyle change and the cost is roughly neutral. I've convinced two or three other people to also buy EVs; it's infectious.
When you compared ZCash and MimbleWimble, you forgot to mention that the latter doesn't need a trusted setup like the former needed.
I suppose there's some potential for SSRF abuse, although it's easy to argue the fault lies elsewhere.
The learning curve and effort to play are more due to UI and the authors' own stubborness-slash-artistic vision. Rimworld is a somewhat-simpler DF without as difficult a UI and is still quite capable of generating stories for its users, organically as a result of interacting systems and random events.
I agree with that completely. Wittgenstein's "simplicity" is only apparent, because he tends to write as if he's the first person to ever do philosophy. But he knows he's not, and his grasp of classical metaphysics (like most philosophers of his era) was basically flawless. He is way more interesting to read with that background in place.
Another way to do this is to install Nix and direnv (and/or Emacs direnv-mode), then include a `use nix` statement in the .envrc file inside your project root.

Then, when you `cd` into your project directory, your environment with all its dependencies appears.

However, there are some downsides to this magical future tech:

+ Nix is hard to learn.

+ Not compatible with the standard environment managers for each language.

You're computing the value of a parent's career as a single point in time salary value, and not as a integration under the curve of salary earned over time. A parent may not have the cash reserves at that single point in time to pay for childcare out of pocket, that doesn't mean that the value they get from staying employed over time does not exceed that cost.

Leaving the workforce starts you over at zero.

Universal childcare, especially in the earliest stages of life, provides societal externalities that vastly outweigh the cost of providing it. It ought to be a public good.
I used doxygen for a Cuda project, and it had quite a hard time with it. Due to the syntax differences, it would spit out warnings or errors. Some could be ignored, and some couldn't. I believe it's gotten better over the last year, though.
The trusted setup is the major problem with Zcash, but it’s much more private than MW (assuming you believe the setup).

I’m not gonna spend a lot of time arguing on here, but I think it’s worth closely studying these systems as they’re fascinating. All anonymity focused systems have tradeoffs, just like more commonly understood distributed systems.
Far Cry 4 is (spoiler alert) like this, once the game story is out of the way
I've crossed Europe and Russia by train while receiving emails and calls from work (from Brazil) during 50 days and the only machine I had was a 2017 10'5 iPad Pro. I've ditched the laptop because of how light it was and also the fact that it could connect to cellular networks with a SIM card. So I had a browser, Slack, Fortinet VPN, ProtonMail client, Shelly SSH client, Textastic and Working copy (git), TeamViewer, RealVNC and the Microsoft RDP client along with some network debugging tools (ping, whois, traceroute etc). I didn't needed any more than that.

Negative points about this experience:

My keyboard (logicool) didn't had an escape key having a home button on the place of esc. I consider this beyond retarded. Also for some retarded reason cellular functions like sending and receiving SMS is disabled even while using a SIM card.

Yes, but the point is that that extra work is still happening on the stack, not on the heap. Overflowing the C stack results in a segfault; exhausting heap memory doesn't.
You'll certainly want to research the investor and see how credible they are. It's somewhat difficult to know how serious they are, but credible investors don't typically waste their time if they aren't serious about a potential investment. Certainly ask around in your network about the investor (LinkedIn is invaluable towards that end, by the way).

But this all begs two questions:

1) Is your interest in pursuing this new business strategy at all? If it is, who cares about the investor. You need to create a business plan anyway. Your first focus should be on what you want for your business going forward.

2) How is it that you plan to not involve your third partner? This has to be handled delicately and intelligently. Otherwise you will be facing a potential lawsuit and a definite cloud over your IP.
The DPDK documentation uses Sphinx, and it's great. For a massive codebase like that, it's a nice addition compared to what an IDE would do.
