Don't forget to rename the sine and cosine. Draw a circle with its centre, looks a bit like a titty no? Now draw a slanted line from the center intersecting with the circle, the vertical and the horizontal deflection are the sine and cosine for this angle. Now plot the sine as a function of angle. Looks like hanging boobies no? Sinus = breast, bossom, tits, ... . Now plot the co-sine function... looks like breasts again, ... but the other kind of breasts. So co-titties... or co-sine...

Then there's tangents, ... touching the breasts...

They all have different remote code execution bugs so those bugs can and should be fixed. The reason to not standardise on a specific single implementation is to make sure those bugs do not become part of the web platform
I don't know the specifics of this case either, but people are jailed and deported regularly for mistakes made by their employer that they didn't and couldn't have known about.

However, I was never talking about this case in particular. I was talking about the assumption that if you just follow the law as written you'll be fine.

You have no individual rights while in China, and the law is intentionally vague and arbitrarily enforced. This isn't an accident--the system is designed so that anyone can be prosecuted if the government decides it's necessary. If you keep your head down and do what everyone else is doing, statistically you'll probably be fine. However, as a foreigner living in China, whether you break the law isn't up to you.

If a company decides they didn't like the product or service you provide and accuses you of selling defective goods, you can be criminally charged and convicted. If a Chinese citizen overcharges you and you don't want to pay, you can be criminally charged and convicted.
With GFC being most popular, I'd expect Em more, because it more fits with those major ones.

Emin vs Emaj - my gut would say Emin is going to fit in with keyboard/piano stuff easier, and there's more of that type music overall. When I think Emaj, I think guitar stuff (EAD stuff), and there's been less of that overall compared with keyboard-based music.
Your TV could send telemetry via 3G - you’d never know.

Or the manufacturer cuts a deal with your broadband provider and gets a backdoor out via your WiFi hub, if you use the standard one they gave you. Or a hidden app on an Android phone that the Android TV chats to when it’s nearby.

IP over HDMI is also a thing.

I am never connecting our Sony smart TV directly to the Internet, like you we have an AppleTV but it’s only a matter of time before you won’t be able to buy an unconnected TV at all.
> A very common function in our source code is the invariant function. I can't explain it any better than the documentation does

Seems like you'd have an easier time explaining what it does if you'd just called it "assert()" in the first place. This isn't a new concept, why does it have a new name?
The Netflix show "1983" keeps insinuating this tense chord at closing credits (and more subtly as nondiegetic background). It seemed to resolve, or rather stumble into a disonance as if just the exact wrong note was played.

It was driving me mad -- a few times I caught myself during work hours trying to reproduce it from memory in MuseScore. It was finally played fully in the last episode, and the aha moment was that what appeared to be a minor chord before The Chord was a major seventh and the progression resolved neatly. What it seems to have been done is to play multiple variants that played component notes differently at different velocities (the strength with which you hit a piano key). It's like it moved by aporias, each time leading you into a different impasse. The show's plot is sort of like that too.

This is to say -- there's more to music than chord progressions, and there's more to chord progressions than chords :)
How many times would Florida, Louisiana, etc need help until they fix the hurricane problem? There's definitely situations that people create that makes them much more susceptible to natural disasters, and I would go along with the "fix the problem" approach if this is the point you are making.
Hmm I'd like to agree with you, but I "think" the opposite is true for 1). Trying to pitch a bunch of potential investors on a newer but more risky business model without strong enough financial track record can be an uphill battle. Then again, who thought Amazon might be a good biz model when they went public? :) Might as well just go with direct listing, plus the added benefit of saving on banker fees. Oh, and no need for the executives to do tiring traditional IPO roadshows that require travel to major financial hubs all over the world.

Update: By also doing a direct listing, shareholders, pre-IPO employees included, won't have to wait 6 months to sell their shares.
You can't treat open source software as a commodity but you can treat any version of open source software as a commodity.

i.e. debian and ubuntu may not be interchangable commodities but ubuntu 16.04 from a torrent vs given from a friend vs downloaded from a mirror are interchangeable.

The services around opensource software such as troubleshooting or being able to spin up a server without having to supply anything but a password (and cash) are what makes a specific version differentiable, not who supplied the bits of that version. Since opensource is free and anyone can distribute it any 1 version is a commodity.
> Bankruptcy doesn't magically cancel your debts

Bankruptcy sets a legally-defined priority of creditors, and prevents execution of judgements (it doesn't stop them being found liable and establishing a debt, but it does prevent execution of the judgement, i.e., by seizing assets to satisfy the debt.)

Sure, California could bid on the assets.
If the most popular key is Cmaj, Emin makes more sense than seeing Emaj.

Music production, just as any other profession, works through a lot of convention. Most music has more things in common than not, just as most software or most humans have more things in common than not -- and that is completely fine. If something falls in the 95th percentile then it's probably a good rule of thumb to not mess with that particular rule, if your goal is to get something going.

There is a ton more to music than chord progression. Figuring out which parts to change, and how, and which parts to leave alone is key.
A Status Update on the MNT Reform DIY Laptop
Par for the course for a company that “illegally diverted over $100 million from a fund used for safety operations, and instead used it for executive compensation and bonuses” according to the state.
Well, for one, they can maybe be hopeful that money set aside for keeping down the fire risk by trimming trees near power lines/stations wouldn't be diverted to executive bonuses, as PG&E did.
Not sure if I'm asking this correctly but, all SSDs now have their own internal filesystem for managing access to blocks right? Are we getting to a point where traditional filesystems like NTFS or ext4 will simply go away? Or will they still stick around and just act as lightweight layers on top of the SSD filesystem?
I thought this smelled like totally useless Reddit-style cynical speculation, and 30 seconds of Googling confirmed my suspicion. No state allows admitting polygraph results without both parties' consent. Federal courts may or may not allow them depending on the judge, but if the judge allows them then the defendant is free to submit their passed polygraph (for whatever that's worth) just as equally as the prosecution is free to submit a failed one.
Strengthening the technicals of verifying identity won't solve it. In fact, doing so will serve as justification to double down on the crutch rather than fixing the root problem of incorrect security assertions, causing the individual victims even more problems.

The real legislation that is needed is to statutorily shore up the banks' liability for the damage their negligence causes. A person that has to deal with fall out from a bank being defrauded (eg repudiating that bank's and surveillance bureaus' libel) should receive a decent hourly wage in liquidated damages.
Awesome. I've been wanting to get an AS/400 for quite a while, but every time I look they cost much more than I would spend for that side hobby. Plus, a lot of them seem very clunky (more so if you're willing to spend less, it seems), and then it wasn't always entirely clear to me whether I'd separately need to buy licenses.

AS/400 (or iSeries now) is so very different, but with many interesting concepts that did not end up getting used in mainstream desktop and now server computing, that it always seemed very compelling to play around with. Take the 128bit flat address space for example, that addresses both memory and storage.
The main selling point of wireguard is elimination of insecure ciphers and less chance of shooting yourself in the foot with configuration. the protocol is more lightweight too. openbsd has a port btw:

It won't stand because it's not pragmatic. The issue around 'passwords being in your mind' is interesting, but they'll move past it.

If you have evidence of a crime on your phone, it must be part of the process.

There's nothing remotely unlawful about search of property so long as there is merit, oversight, warrant etc..

Ultimately, this will be no different than searching your car.

Now, the cops doing it without a warrant, shenanigans at the border, searchings stuff they should not be - this is all another matter entirely.

There will be some weird scenarios around people 'forgetting' passwords etc. but otherwise, it's just a new angle on the same old thing.

Those who would like to see better judicial reform I think should look elsewhere, into such issues as why/how warrants are issued, the transparency around them, etc..
Yes, the 6809 could jump and branch relative to the current location, program counter + offset. If all jumps where of that kind a program could be located anywhere in memory.

That installation won't even last a week before being destroyed by weather. Cool concept though, but I was expecting a bit more than just a few tiny speakers and a wire.
I don't like PG&E, but if you have a gas leak in your house, and a guy walks down the street in front smoking a cigarette and everything blows up, does the smoker buy you a new house? The natural environment in parts of California has reached an inherently unstable state, with no logging, no prescribed burns, extensive suppression, global warming, draught, and limited brush clearing.
I have two kids, 9 and 11, and neither of them are screaming and yelling about what music to play. If they want to listen to music, they know to go to the rumpus room and pick out a vinyl.
PG&E by many reports has been negligent in maintenance. The taxpayers will ultimately bail them out, since they are essentially too big to fail.
The irony of course is that the fire that caused him to say that was on federal land. I.e. he is the leader of the organization that is responsible for preventing fires on that land.
A lot of "freedom" fighters suggest this as SOP anyways. You keep all of your needed data in the cloud, and download on the other side of whatever security you are clearing. This goes for any device, not just phone. Some people even go ports on their laptops filled in with an epoxy or something so that ports can't be accessed. Of course, that just makes you look that much more suspicious. How paranoid are you, and what data do you really have that you don't want to be seen?

They mention "a declarative query API", but as far as I can tell that's not actually SQL, right? So migrating from another relational db would require learning a new query language?

This discussion is new because AWS and others are new and growing rapidly and it's a huge mistake to conflate it with conventional discussions and strategies about open source.

The threat is not just to open source but also entire categories of software and hardware.

The situation is so dire that you may create a product that does 10Gbs or something else and AWS offers 5Gbs but with automatic snapshots, high availability, scalability and distributed out of the box, and because of ease of use, access, near free management and scale users will still prefer AWS and your market will be limited to a extremely tiny subset requiring some specific niche and willing to configure, roll it out and maintain on their own.

This completely changes the incentives to create, because to compete you now need to create a 'cloud native' product that leverages AWS and other clouds. Which means a transformation of traditional open source and entire categories of software as we understand them to something new.
They don't murder the employees when the company goes bankrupt, you know.
Just as "entirely" as the blame lies with those suggesting WebSQL not proposing something that meets the well-established and agreed on expectations for a web specification, and not fixing that issue when it was pointed out.

I love just rambling around the countryside and seeing new things. I walk a fair amount every day, and I find that there's something good for the soul about walking a lightly-travelled footpath with no particular destination in mind, alone with your thoughts. If there's no undeveloped land at hand I'll walk through the city, which has its own charm, but I find it doesn't have quite the same effect.

I suppose I must be in the minority though. There are many trails near San Francisco where I never come across more than a handful of fellow walkers, despite the area's dense population.
It's running on eternal loop in my head since i read this.

What I want to know - who's going to sort out the mess this is going to cause with streaming fees?
Yes, it's been a tinderbox, but if you want to shift the blame away from PG&E, then you also have to shift the blame away from vagrants and arguably arsons.

It's a weird psychology that wants to pardon resourceful corporations while continuing to fault private citizens.
Also laughed out loud at this. Thanks :)

They transposed all songs in C in order to be able to compare chords by name (which is a weird methodology but whatever).

By that measure it's only natural that Em (iii) is more common than E (which is non-diatonic to C).

What if I'm worried that someone has attached an RFID tag to my car, my bicycle, or an item of clothing?

(The tags used in animals might only be readable at a range of a few inches, but: "Gen2 tags can have a read range of over 16 meters or 52 feet when using the full 4 Watt EIRP legally allowed on the readers by FCC and other global regulators"; "a model using a beam-steerable phased-array antenna can interrogate passive tags at a distance of 600 feet or more")
Yeah I know it's supposed to be more efficient too.

Earlier this year, Tesla suffered a complex cryptocurrency mining malware infection caused by a misconfiguration in the Kubernetes console. The attackers exploited the fact that the particular Kubernetes console wasn’t password protected, allowing them to access one of the pods that included access credentials for Tesla’s larger AWS environment

Given the amount of driving data that Tesla has, and the apparent scope of the breach, I’m surprised the attackers only mined some crypto. Wonder if that’s because the data is well segregated, or if mining crypto is just more profitable than extracting and leaking data?

I don't see anything Mongo could have done differently. Even if Mongo were completely proprietary software, it wouldn't have affected AWS. They didn't use Mongo's code just emulated their API. That's basically the same thing that kicked off the entire PC industry -- clean room cloning BIOS.
I don't know if it'd be possible. Wind and sand is a wicked combination and it'd be sandblasted away pretty quickly no matter what. And if it didn't have the chance to float, it will be buried by the shifting sands. At that point it would probably last a while, but it certainly won't be playing Africa anymore.

If I play a song from a legally-owned MP3 in public but no one is around to hear it, do I have to pay licensing fees for a public performance?
I was really referring to the error messages, because you can write C++ style templates (e.g. SFINAE) in D but no one does because D was designed properly so it has proper traits etc. C++ style template messages are uncommon but possible, however D is much much easier to debug because the type system is working with you and basically available in the language - in the sense that you can use traits and reflection to work out what went wrong (as opposed to

stdin.
byLineCopy.array.sort!((a, b) => a >b).each!writeln;

This example is everyday code in D, but basically unthinkable in C++ (Possible but try getting it that short without writing your own library). It is also telling that the aesthetic style of the above code (UFCS) is a feature D has had for years but was rejected for inclusion into C++ despite BS backing it.
Ask HN: Are you hiring? I'm working on a project and would benefit from feedback
I work for a small game/web development company based in the US. In my spare time, I've been working on our newest project, 'jobblast'. It's a way for me to pursue a project I've been wanting to work on for a while, and also gives us a chance to give back to the community. We're getting ready to release the "alpha" version within two weeks from today.

jobblast is a "minimal" job board for developers. My goal is to investigate job boards and the hiring process, in general, and create a tool that is truly beneficial to the developers looking for work as well as the companies that will hire them. All job posts are reviewed, by me, and they are free. There's no cost to anyone and there are no ads.

The question for you is...

Are you hiring? Is the company you work for hiring developers? Feel free to check us out and get in touch. If you'd like to stay up to date with the project, you can subscribe to the newsletter with the link below. If you are hiring and would like to give us a try, you just need to shoot us an email (look below) and we will go from there! When we launch, your job posts will be the first that everyone will see.

I welcome any and all feedback. If you have questions for me, ask away! You can always get in touch at the email below, as well. I'm excited to see where this goes.

Some other questions worth considering...

1.) What struggles do you consistently have while searching for candidates for a developer position?

2.) What features would benefit you as a job seeker or hiring organization?

3.) Do you expect there to be a "catch" with a completely free job board?

4.) Does the idea of an open-source job board excite you?

I agree and came here to comment that you should not use this code.

The code has sleep calls and polls the filesystem. The nonportable OS support will actually block and have the kernel wake you up when there are actual changes - and not wake you when there is no change - much kinder on the CPU!

Just say no indeed, to polling the filesystem with sleep calls. (Maybe as a last resort if the OS specific support is unavailable?)

No, that's not truly rationed, then -- that's variable pricing.

If food/fuel/etc is rationed, that's all you get without venturing into a black market, if one is available.
I really like Notion and have this same feeling. The app being Electron is a really big bummer for me, though. Performance is terrible on my Android phone. I really want to ditch Evernote but nothing seems to compare still.
