Nice catch.

I cannot think of any other reason than a typo in the original prints, and the people reponsible for digitizing the books have mechanically filed them with the date reported in the body as that of the first edition.

Maybe it is the equivalent of a modern day copy/paste error, they got the sheets reporting the first edition mixed-up with those of another book, who knows.

You can see in your peripheral vision, but not clearly, and not colors. This is because the cones in the eye are all in the center, and they are responsible for most of your daytime vision. Around the cones are rods, they are used for night vision and motion detection.
The colors you see in your peripheral vision are not real, but an illusion made by the brain.

Not sure whether this still holds for 1Gb and faster ethernet, but there used to be a maximum length due to collision detection.

An ethernet frame has a minimal length, and since the cable (used to be) a shared medium, frames could collide. Such a collision could be detected by senders whilst sending the frame, allowing for a re-send. However, when the cable is long enough, you could get collisions happen after you are finished sending.

I'm guessing that the newer standards that only allow point to point connections invalidate those requirements though.
Every market has information asymmetry. Software is probably the biggest one today. Yet software keeps getting better and better...

Solving the random issues that result from going beyond the specs of the cabling is the worst. It works for months and then suddenly fails for no reason.

A lot of these are used as CRM type applications where people would love it if LinkedIn just charged for access to a more comprehensive API instead. LinkedIns messaging UI sucks, and ironically one of the reasons to want to use CRMs like Nimble to interact with your LinkedIn connections is to be able to better track communication with them so you don't spam. But of course people will use it to spam too.

If LinkedIn offered API access to messaging in a way that let CRMs work with them instead of feel forced to circumvent them I think most who want to use it legitimately would be perfectly happy to have LinkedIn impose various usage limits and peotections even if paid.

They should see this as revenue potential: there are lots of potential to get companies with legitimate reasons for more integration than the current API to upsell their customers on paid LinkedIn features if they are able to offer it in an approved way, and I bet many would be happy to let LinkedIn monitor how it's used.

If they try to block access instead, they'll find more and more companies keep offering the same, but manually.
None of this seems correct.

I actually have CCA cabling. On purpose.

Why? It's cheaper. And I only had to run about ~15 meters through my small rental apartment. And it basically cut my cabling cost in half while having enough reserve cables left.

It hasn't failed on me so far. When I buy my own house, I will definitely switch to better cables. But in such a small rental apartment, which I won't be living in too long, I didn't find it worth my money to buy better cabling.

> No it is defending against malicious actors from abusing its API.

I do not really understand the concept of "abusing an API". If an API is amenable to a "bad" use, it seems entirely to be the fault of the API designers, not of its users. The designers built an API that enabled an usage that they did not want. That is their fault, how could it be otherwise?
I would indeed enjoy a built in rss feed for replies on topics / threads I have found important.

I'd also like a link to a wiki or something that could be updated with more replies and new information about things perhaps also including links to other hn threads that have referenced / linked to the same.

So continued discussions could occur and extra info combined.

rss feed, email notification, sms maybe..

Not all threads, but some are of high interest to me for sure - and checking the myprofile-comments for new info is tedious, though used many times for me.

If you look at how China managed to build up an impressive tech sector the conclusion is clear: protectionism, else Europe will keep being sold off and lose its best talent to large companies abroad. This is the missing piece, not all these arbitrary number crunching or ill-informed cultural studies. Indeed looking at history many European countries have build up large innovative industrial and scientific sectors.

Naturally, if Europe starts to protect its tech sector the US will react aggressively and it will have major political repercussions. It is nonetheless necessary.
The link in OP leads onto the syllabus. It looks like the course covers algebra up to matrix diagonalisation, and calculus up to multivariate optimisation. These are about a first or second year level syllabus at UK universities. Can't see any topology or number theory.

Edit: Oops, I think I was only looking at the first year syllabus of that course. The second year does have an "abstract mathematics" topic although it's not very specific on what further areas of mathematics might be included.
> EU response to this is various EU funding programs that are mostly throwing money away for little to no benefit.

You're framing this as if it's the EU's job. It isn't.

The only way the EU could compete if it would become a federal state, similar to the US. Right now the EU, despite being a single market in many respects is far from being a true digital single market.

Individual states are actively fighting against this because they would have give up bits of their sovereignty (controlling tax levels, such as VAT, commercial legislation, etc.).

You can't both have your cake (a huge single market able to funnel huge amounts of money into your desired investments) and eat it (keep total control of your country's finances).
In France, most employees have perks when purchasing/loaning stuff from their employer. Employees could get a discount on their company's telco public prices (e.g.: Orange or Bouygues) ; power suppliers (in France: EDF, Total, etc.) offer a discount on the electricity bill.

Some other "benefits" (some are required by law): the employer pays half of the public transportation bill for the employee; Christmas/Summer gift cards; buy one stock, get one free; Intéressement et Participation ([0] [1]); paid lunch (or "lunch checks"); professional vehicule;...

There are also "Comité d'entreprise" [2] in France, which get from the company 0.2% of the total salary mass (0.2% of the total salaries before tax) to propose many offers, such as: cheap theater tickets, discounts in select stores (not linked with the employer's domain), cheap all-inclusive abroad vacation, birth/marriage checks, custom social and financial help (debt; help to purchase a house), etc.

> On the surface, it doesn't seem like there's anything particularly lacking, at least from my superficial understanding as an American viewing in from the outside.

My personal opinion is that, whilst we (still, just...) live in a "single market", Europe isn't a "market" just by itself.

Sure, you can do business cross-borders quite easily, but there's not the same critical mass of language, culture, business environment, and confidence as there is in the States. The US is a bunch of loosely connected areas that at least have language, currency, and to a lesser degree, culture that permeates them.

The differences between the UK and France when launching a product are substantial - and whilst it's technically "easy" (a bit of i18n here, a Stripe GBP-EUR transaction there), unpicking user needs and behaviours across language barriers can be hard.

If you incubate a product in SV, you can roll that out to the rest of the US with only slight changes in approach. If you incubate a product in Portugal, you have your work to cut out from the get-go to reach more than just 10m people.

My stretch is that it encourages companies to try and "dominate" their home market rather than trying to do the harder thing and spread - that slows the hockey-stick as you try and wring the last few dollars out of a mature environment and makes investment outcomes less tasty.

Combine all of that with a generalised point about Europeans being less "work-driven" and so probably a less % of people trying.
The Most Confusing Things About Spacecraft Orbits
Oh, the 68K, PPC and Altivec. Brings back memories.

However, it really is just memories. Nowadays, total memory consumption usually trumps alignment, so it tends to be better to pack your data as tightly as possible and let the CPU extract the bits it needs, which particularly x86 is very good at. Packing is particularly effective if manage to get everything onto a cache line.

Reason being the gulf between CPU and memory performance. If you save just one memory access you can pay for that with a lot of internal CPU operations.

Conversely, if you have a structure shared between different threads/cores, you probably want to make sure they do not share a cache line.

And yes, atomics should definitely be aligned.

People can feel "stared at" over a telephone call, so I'm not sure what that's supposed to show about eye beams.

But importantly, it's not an assumption that eyes don't emit a force of a hundredth of a newton. We have tested it, and you can test it yourself by glancing at a piece of paper. That nonexistent pushing force is what the paper is about, not feelings of being stared at.
> There's not a single extensions on that list that doesn't result in someone getting an unsolicited email.

Nimble is just a CRM. Their extension does not crawl for email addresses, as far as I remember. Why does linkedIn need to "protect its users" from it? Isn't it rather to protect itself against the competition?

Yes. You can pass your test in an automatic, then buy a manual and have zero clue how to drive it and it's 100% legal.

Hate to break it to you, but nobody was saying you should pour the alcohol on the fire. They said to put the fire out and you happened to be holding alcohol so you decided to throw alcohol on it.

Nobody said that the hand licking was "Bad Behavior [and] Absolutely Must Stop At Any Cost". They looked at you like you didnt know how to teach your child how to be polite in public, and you chose that you must do whatever it takes to stop yourself appearing that way.

The fact that you were trying to solve a problem without knowing the cause was silly, and I'm genuinely happy for you that you've learned from that experience, but the worst part is that you attribute the blame to outside forces.

Sentences like "They made me make the problem worse by telling me to fix it" and "It's their fault I failed because I didn't know how to solve the problem and guessed" come to mind.

"It might result in worse things happening to my relationship to my child than him being mad at me about this one thing. So I tried to comply with this expectation that my child needed to stop and I needed to be the one to make that happen."

There is more shifting blame in this paragraph. Somewhere you missed the part where "to comply" is to achieve the outcome of your child no longer licking his hands, not to assault him.

Society views parents who hit their kids worse than parents whose kids lick their hands, so I have no idea where you got the idea of compliance being to hit your child.

It's nice that you learned one lesson, maybe you could learn something from how you wrote the article, and if you can remember, how you felt when you wrote it.

These language features build using the type system are useful, except when you're using them in your API. In that case, they break down as changing the API becomes problematic. A simple example is to change a `void derp(Nullable<SomeType> parameter)` into `void derp(SomeType parameter)`. This is a breaking change, while on the consumer side it is not a breaking change.
There are lot of reasons:

-Europe is fragmented market. It is not given that German software will be gladly accepted and used in France, Italy or UK and vice versa. There are barriers there that does not exist in the US.

-The capital market and the stock market are not as developed as in USA in terms of market participants and available funds. Going public is unlikely event. If it happens, it would not get a lot of publicity and it would not raise as much money. Some European companies prefer to go public in the US.

-There is public mistrust about big software companies. Many people are afraid that big software companies will steal and abuse their personal data.

-There is also mistrust about venture capital and generally big finance institutions that they somehow "control" the economy, exploit small family businesses, and just make money on mistreating normal people.

I know that some of this sounds ridiculous, but it is true for astonishing number of people in Germany, France, Austria, and Italy. UK is a little better, but they mistrust everything about the rest of Europe.

It’s not just funding - valley startups have a big group of experienced talent that knows how to scale in exactly the right moment. Startups and growth can die by small mistakes not making these small mistakes can compound quickly.

The other side is that the Valley is not a US place it’s a global tech place, the amounts of international money are staggering and additionally the number of international talent is staggering.

A third thing is that markets are not rational, if your investors are from the network they will hype you in that network, so your valuation is only partially dependent on product.
It's possible to link together two wifi APs by removing the antennas on both APs, and linking the antennas by SMA-coax cable.

I know this works for normal Wifi modes. Now I wonder if you could get this to work with MIMO. From my limited understanding, it should be possible if the cables have lengths that vary by about 5-15cm.

Could you give example of Europe based tech companies that went public in US?
The police would be another.
The protectionism was/is there in the US too. I unfortunately can't remember the details but there is a video in the Computer History Museum that tells a story about how computers from Germany were blocked in the US and the impact it had on both countries.

And just last year the US blocked Qualcomm being sold to a Chinese company: https://qz.com/1227509/trump-just-blocked-broadcoms-attempt-...

Of course, as the US now has a extraordinarily strong advantage in the sector it doesn't have to flex that muscle as often. But it does flex it when needed.
Ask HN: Is there any company like TripleByte in India?
I'm aware of the tech recruitment platform Beyond, but was wondering if there's any startup in India using a test, interview and matching approach similar to TripleByte.
Hi James and Angel congrats on the launch! Great issue to try to solve, hope you succeed.

Thanks for the LAUNCHHN voucher code. I'd seen cspa.io on hackernews previously but the free voucher code was the motivation I needed to register for the core exam in April! I'm a uk-based maths grad previously in a datasci role, currently taking some time off to self-study computer sci and frontend/backend. Looking forward to checking my progress against the test!

Quick bits of feedback in case they're helpful:

(1) I'd love there to be a second practise/past paper available (there's only one currently right?). Ideally I'd like to go through one now to check where my knowledge gaps are... then take one a couple of weeks before the exam in April.

(2) I just gave this only a very quick read... and found it a bit unclear: https://cspa.io/scoring. I'm sure I could understand it no problem with a more serious read-through... but thought I'd feed that back anyway.
[Specifically it's not clear in the examples section how the score of 440 in FE is achieved, as the max mentioned is 400. Also the 6 subject scores all differ... but then presumably are scaled to 400 points. Is that right? With my quick read through I'm not yet clear if in the exam I should try to complete all 6 or just complete 1 of the 6 subject areas. I guess as final score takes your best score out of the 6 you could just complete one or two. What do most candidates do in practice? Perhaps you could add some guidance on this to the site somewhere if it's not there already.]

Regards. Mike.

I have a different theory; perhaps line printers (which terminals try to emulate) are to blame.

Space on a line is limited and one directional, so thr tools naturally evolved towards strange single line incantations instead of full fledged programs.

Commodore Pet did it right by introducing a navigable terminal where you could move between lines and don't need to open an editor to write multiline programs.
