This aspect of the Yugoslav civil war is usually missing from the mainstream narratives.

During one interview, a source was droning on about a minor bureaucratic battle inside the CIA when he briefly referred to how then-President Bill Clinton had secretly given the green light to Iran to covertly ship arms to Bosnian Muslims during the Balkan wars. The man had already resumed talking about his bureaucratic turf war when I realized what he had just said and interrupted him, demanding that he go back to Iran. That led me to write a series of stories that prompted the House of Representatives to create a special select committee to investigate the covert Iran-Bosnia arms pipeline.

Texas will be powered by wind and solar while supplying the rest of the country with oil and natural gas.
So one thing about react or generally spa's is that you generate artifacts (static files, index.html/js etc.) that you can easily put on anything that serves those files.

That is actually not hard to do on an embedded system. Getting the ETH or WiFi Driver to work is another story. That depends on the vendor and "how many/much batteries are included". Some will make it very easy and offer an fully working API that you can use. But sometimes you need to get deeper for custom solutions and that's when you need to read into the documentation and internal API.

I would start with an Arduino for basic stuff like turning on LEDs. Learn about the PIN Levels or the need of pull down / push up wiring. Try to implement software debounce for input reading. All that basic stuff. Programming is done via their IDE. You get an UART Console (serial) for debugging / logging. I use it to this day for prototyping (last week CAN bus for example to read the OBD interface of my car). There are LOT of resources online for the arduino.

When you re done with it you can look at raspberry pi. There you can use linux (which is very elegant) to do some advanced stuff like networking. You can start with monitoring temperature and printing to the console. There are lot of libraries and documentation for it.

If you are still interested you can go a level deeper. Without an OS or an RTOS (like FreeRTOS). There you are pretty much on your own with a lot of things. I started with an STM32F4. You have an integrated Display on some models. And there is also a lot of tutorials and documentation. The stmcube software helps you setup your pin and board configuration.
If you use FreeRTOS: Try playing with tasks (context switching, priorities) or scheduler (cooperative vs preemptive). You can look at the examples provided in the repository (firmware packages) and run them on your board. Play with them, change or modify some parts.

About Rust I didn't try it. But currently i am not sure since the vendor of the board i am currently developing for provides only a API in C. You will either have to write in C or use C++ and write some sort of wrapper (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-...).

I don't understand how you can say that monorepos and correct cannot coexist. Don't you have the minimum that is code quality analysis, automated testing and mandatory code reviews in place? Those must exist to maximize correctness, and they must exist wheter you have 1 or 100 repos.

If I can commit more atrocities I can also commit more fine things, and I have infra in place to stop crap making it to master.

In my particular case I was starting with the assumption that the single family home remains zoned for single family, but elsewhere in the economic region theres a huge building boom relieving the region of housing scarcity.

That said, you are absolutely correct. If building large multifamily dwellings were cheaper & always viable, you would see the cost of a single family home increase to reflect the profitability of doing so (until it is not as profitable, at which point single family homes would start decreasing)
I hope all these mostly useless malls get replaced with things are that more needed: libraries, decent grocery stores, farm co-ops/local farming, and especially housing. At the end of the day, humans need shelter more than they need stuff to put in their shelters.
They use IP telephony, bounced through geosynchronous satellites like their other Internet traffic. So the best-case signal roundtrip is already close to 150000 km. I'm not sure whether standard satellite phones would work on the ISS.

BTW, is the spamcall/robocall thing a US phenomenon? I mean, I haven't heard anyone talking about those except Americans. I only get regular human telemarketers every now and then, but I generally don't answer calls from unknown numbers anyway.
A lottery still drops people, it's just based on luck in the lottery and not how much you can pay. If that's what you want, then that's a position to hold. It does not, however, change the fact that there will still be the same number of people unable to get housing
I know Hinton participated in a few AMA sessions on reddit.
its not any different ... except for .forEach, .map , and .filter ... but we have had closures for 20 years.

thing like modules and classes are basically syntactic sugar and are because not using javascript as a functional language is implementing away from the core features of the language. Of course thats an opinion but things like importing libraries can be handled by js compilers , its not frontend engineers have been struggling with maintaining 3000 line files.

And another opinion of mine is that type systems are not worth the key strokes, they only solve the lowest hanging problems that any testing would catch.
Not surprising when you put almost all your eggs in one basket and the fad dries up.
The problem I see is that as the iPhone became big they shifted focus towards it instead of trying to focus on everything they already have. But I could be wrong, and maybe someone else might have more insight. I want Apple to succeed, same with Microsoft. They are imho necessary companies, otherwise we're stuck with whatever Google, Facebook or Amazon feed us.
Guido was working on Dropbox with Python. One of areas was type hinting (of large Dropbox Python codebase), so it is partially coming from him.

Learnt this in Pycon 2014 if I recall correctly.
Having Linux kernel is pretty transparent for app developers.

They don't care which kernel powers Chrome processes, or ART.

On Android's case, Linux syscalls aren't even part of the official stable APIs.

That don't work since you need to use `partial` on `mul`.

I'm a big fan of the way Haskell manages operators and partial application.

Problems are easy to predict.

The technological solutions to those problems are predictable by a sufficiently educated person.

Politics is impossible to predict. Even if you're dead on about how a group of people feel in one region, go 200 miles west, you may be completely wrong.
Maybe it's worth mentioning that he didn't write most of "his" books apart from the Tractatus and Philosophische Untersuchungen. The others might still be worth reading but they are mostly notes from his students.

Having studied analytical philosophy in university I also find it interesting that Wittgenstein is seen as a founding father of the analytical movement while his later philosophy can be understood as a refutation of analytical philosophy.

You have some valid points about the transcendence of philosophy in stopping the pursuit of pseudo-problems. In relation to that there's also a hint in the end of the Tractatus about (the most important?) things that cannot be said but only shown.

Also I found it funny that he supposedly said that there are more profound insights to be found in the crime stories he read than in the philosophical journal "Mind". (I think that's mentioned in Malcom's book).

Temporarily. Denuvo is incredibly effective, but it still gets cracked eventually. But, no piracy for 1-9 months in many cases is definitely an improvement.
>What kind of trains have you been riding?

Subway trains roll on tracks in concrete tunnels that reverberate sound. They're extremely loud. It's metal on metal with grinding disc brakes.

>Buses are noisy and have herky-jerky motion because they drive in traffic

Buses are huge. They're generally too huge to accelerate or decelerate rapidly, so I have no experienced this herky-jerky motion you're talking about. That's much more likely in a car.

>and have noisy diesel engines

At this point most big cities I've been in the buses run on CNG, which is still super loud but burns much cleaner. Eventually they'll be all electric fleets though, and should be predictably quiet.
precipitation is a killer for solar output, that is why Florida also does not do well with solar.

Suprisingly Colorado is amazing for solar because of elevation and low precipitation.

What? The median income in the US this year was $60k which is plenty enough to shop at those stores. Lush's products are less than $15.
Sorry I should have mentioned; The lingua Franca is English. I’m an English native and have not needed any Swedish in my working life at the company (I’ve been there nearly 5 years now).
Georgetown, TX, just north of Austin, has gone 100% renewables. Of course, that's a little bit of an accounting trick, in that while 100% of energy purchased is paid for at solar/wind rates, it still uses the same Texas grid that relies on coal and gas for reliability.

Thus, while it's great that more cities are going to all renewable, that doesn't mean we're much closer to solving the storage and stability problems with renewables.
Wow lots of people really wrapped up in this whole IQ thing lol. It’s literally a joke, only reason it’s so prevalent these days are because of the racist white supremacist and pseudosciencentist “philosophers” raking in the Youtube money. Can someone point to actual real research where someone literally went around the world and gave IQ test to groups of people ? Also were these test in the people’s native language, how were they chosen etc. I have a hunch (not a biologist or anything like that) that common sense would say if you take any group of people that come from similar environments and administer IQ test the scores would be similar no matter the race, height, sex, etc. (I.e: take middle class college students from different groups and compare. Then take groups of people from poverty stricken backgrounds and compare)
Does anyone disagree ? And why?
A common critique on malls is that they are all the same, always the same stores, no variety.

So I don't see how some independent operation that brings something new to the table could be a bad thing.

Unless it upsets your taste to having to deal with some unpolished store that lacks cooperate design.
> I'm willing to believe Googlers that it works well for Google

It doesn't. In my entire career, that was the only environment in which some random would break us and we couldn't do anything about it other than hope for a rollback and then wait for hours for the retest queue to clear before we could deploy anything at all.

Maybe not all the time, but you need the escape hatch of pinning healthy deps, because HEAD of everything is not guaranteed to work.

While electrics (Breville, etc) can be found on Amazon, W&S can generally be trusted to have decent quality dinnerware and linens. My experience of trying to buy stuff like that on Amazon has been mostly shoddy quality from unknown brands.
While I agree that most of your listed examples are likely esoteric enough to escape need in most projects, I am curious to know why public vs private inheritance was amongst them, being that it is a core feature of nearly all object-oriented programming languages.
Ask HN: Any good opportunities to meet potential co-founders in the Bay Area?
I'm an engineer at a startup that's been itching for a long time to start a company. I know it's definitely ideal to source cofounders from one's colleagues, but most of my experience is at small startups so I don't have the connections of a large company or a huge personal network.

Any ideas for ways I can put myself in a better position to meet potential co-founders? I live in San Francisco but curious to hear about networking in other areas as well.

My interests:
- Healthcare (EHRs, patient services, labs, insurance)
- Education (learning management systems, academic publishing, intellectual property)
- Social welfare
- Messaging/communication
Apple never co-locates with a Dollar Tree store. There's a point at which Apple and other high-end retailers will decide that their brands are being diminished by being located next to an Alpaca-based clothing store. This may create a death spiral that accelerates the demise of the mall.
Speaking only for myself, a single iPhone has always cost more than I want to pay. I'm doubly concerned with dropping it. My main thought with buying a phone is would I be willing to buy a second one if something happens to the first one.

The Flyby Anomaly: An Unansweed Question in Physics
EE/CE here:
In order if your questions...

1. Assuming you hooked the 5V to the USB 5V and the GND to the USB GND pins, nothing bad would happen.

2. Nothing would get fried

3. Plugged in devices would respond according to how they're designed. Most cell phones will limit current and only draw 500mA if they don't have any other signalling to test otherwise. Some will slowly ramp current until their own internal limits if voltage drop isn't too bad. Some 'dumb' devices will pull as much current as they 'want' or need. You won't be able to push 30A into any device because there are almost no USB devices that 'want' that much current. Even really poor behaving devices (outside of outright broken ones) will probably only draw 3-5A max. Technically this is non-compliant, since there are defined USB specifications for how USB ports should be connected.

If you wanted to make a 5V 'mega USB' charger, here's all you'd need to do:
Take your 5V, many amp power supply and connect all USB-A ports you want to it, with a constraint that number of USB ports should be total amperage divided by 2.5. E.g. if you had a 10A supply, only use 4 USB ports.
Short the D+ and D- pins together on the connector. 5V should be connected to your large 5V rail, GND should be connected to ground.

That's it. You've just made a 'DCP' (Dedicated charging port) device. By USB standards any device connected can pull up to 1.5A; in practice they'll usually pull 2.1A or more if they can.
I can identify with playing games less as I age, and I agree with a lot of what they are saying. When I was in high school, A lot of my hobbies/social activity were built into schooling, so at the end of the day, I had time to come home and play.

As an adult, I have social circles both within and outside of my job, a relationship (though she likes playing video games too), I have new hobbies, and hobbies that I can't do at work. I also have time and money to be able to go out and do new things that I couldn't do when I was younger.

As a result, when I do play, usually it is in 30 to 45 minute spurts, usually the weekend. Even then, it is usually a social thing. My siblings and I have Switches, and we have been bonding over playing online with each other (we don't live near each other), or I will play with my significant other.

The competitive one is an interesting thing. I have never been a competitive person, but I think the competitiveness drops off because off bad experiences. I completely stopped playing Magic the Gathering because of dealing with toxic players, and I played online with strangers for exactly one session, and that was soured by toxic gamers. I imagine a lot of others have had similar experiences, and that sours that sort of competition for the majority of people.

EDIT: I forgot to add, being on a computer for 8 hours a day at work also really kills my desire to stare at another screen for even more time.
Overwatch is the only game during my adult life that has given me the same level of enjoyment from video games like when I was a kid.
Apple will just have to make a car, release a ring, move into healthcare AI, make their own Netflix, and come up with new things like a search engine or something completely new (yes I know you all think search is done and it’s impossible to compete with the incumbent). Or they could make a purchases in cash of up to $285bn which if you take that pile of money out of their stock price they look extremely cheap today.

If all rescue interviewers were doing was trying to avoid abuse, I'd agree with your sentiment.

But from what I've read and the experiences myself and my friends and family have had, rescue interviewers are more often than not looking for perfect homes not simply trying to avoid abusive/neglectful homes.

Is it better to place a dog with someone who works 8 hours a day, or to euthanize it? (there are many people who'd say euthanize, but I disagree)
Which is why Fuchsia is getting an UI agnostic composition engine, where Flutter is just another possibility.

While there are experiments in a Rust based UI and now Android.

I bet just like Brillo original plans, Flutter is on its way out.
Yea that's what I was thinking, and also along with another idea about experimentation. People on both sides can become even intolerant of the other's rights to their civil libertiea and democratic right of self-governance. What I mean, in practice, is that if a state wants to legalize a plant, run its own healthcare system, well in fact they should be encouraged to do so. We should be to some extent tolerant of these experiments and competition among states in social policy. It is consistent with democracy and what the Founding Fathers intended. But instead everyone wants to command the authority of the central government to demand everyone has to do it their way, and the results end up really egregiously bad as you can see today.

Foreign Secretary Hunt: “Britain's Role in a Post-Brexit World”
It is a little large, yes. The creator's goal was always to create a language with a small core but a rich set of features for extending the language (metaprogramming). Nim has bloated a little and we're now trying to remove as many features as we can without annoying too many people :)

A GIF decoder in SQL
That's generally a good complaint about "just fork it", but there are some additional factors here.

One - every Ethereum update is a soft fork of the protocol

Two - they are required to be soft forks by the very existence of the difficulty bomb.

Three - running a blockchain is already a social activity that requires everyone participating to opt in to the same protocol.

I don't think it would be easy, by any means, to convince the community to move a different direction than that desired by the core devs. But my main point is that the difficulty bomb is a mechanism to force soft forks frequently. It is not a mechanism to force any particular long term path.

me too! i grew up out in the country for a period of my youth and the thing i really miss is the animals.

and good on her for volunterring! i adopted a dog last year and just started volunteering in the kitten nursery of a local rescue organization (they’re so cute!). volunteering (and then fostering) is a good way to see the range of animals and their behaviors before you make a commitment and also streamlines the adoption process.
UK gets huge numbers of spam/scam calls: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/06/bt_call_scam/
React is primarily (and almost exclusively) used as a frontend framework. In that context information sources are HTTP apis (and occasionally browser storage, but that deleted at anytime, so pretty much every app also stores data on a server somewhere).

There are lots of ways to connect to these APIs, but a common one with React is to a Redux middleware to do the fetching. Underneath everything, something will be using either the classic "XMLHttpRequest" or the newer "fetch api" to do the actual HTTP requests.

That's right - Guido has been very much in favour of adding type hints to Python.

Are type hints Pythonic? I personally don't think so - to me, they don't match the philosophy of the rest of the language. On the other hand, one could argue that the definition of Pythonic is simply "whatever Guido likes".
