In my comment I say that it's better than the way Go did it, and Go is switching to the Ruby style, so maybe you could add some kind of argument why it's actually not better than that in any other language?

I can't remember the last time I had a version management problem in Ruby, though the ecosystem is so stable right now not many backwards incompatible things happen any more.
Well it does not work that way in reality.

Legacy apps asummes a certain degree of reliability from the underlaying infrastructure. This assumption falls flat on its face in the cloud. Netflix wouldn't have needed to develop Chaos Monkey if this wasn't the case.

Secondly leap to cloud native never happens because no one wants to take the pain once it works even barely. Any issues can be pushed onto Infrastructure team. It's pure and simple risk avoidance.

I don't know who they asked, but it's safe to say that compiler gurus are a diverse lot. The particular concern I mentioned (software pipelining) might not be something that the Intel compilers do.
This is beautiful because I think this is just the beginning. Who knows if we'll still be designing cars in VR in the long run. But it is really nice that people are beginning to experiment and tools to help them do so are emerging.

The clear winner in my opinion is the Prusa I3 MK3. In 3D printing forums both dedicated, and not, it gets pretty stellar reviews. It is as open source as you can get, and Joseph Prusa is one of the innovators in the field. I would buy an assembled printer. It costs $1000 fully assembled.

Now, if you're looking for low maintenance, I might not get the MMU multi-material addition. You have to build that, and it is more finicky, although you can get some amazing stuff out of it.

I have a pre-built Prusa Mk3. I love it.

The high performance compilers I'm familiar with do a lot of worrying about instruction scheduling. Just because you've got an out-of-order processor doesn't mean it's effective to not bother with scheduling.

Why would traveling on one be grueling? Working on one seems like it's work, not really a vacation even if away from home... But as a passenger, why would it also be grueling? Yes I know there's been incidents and accidents but that doesn't happen on every cruise.

I've been watching some travel vlogs of them and some look really nice and relaxing. Also, some ships internet is crappy or costly, so it also forces you to disconnect and live more at the moment too I'd think. However crappy internet at sea will be a thing of the past someday in the future.

Prices do seem a bit high though but I have seen some deals. Also probably depends on the ship, etc. Food probably depends on the ship too, like Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas has a bunch of different restaurants. They have a concept called the Royal Caribbean Promenade on some of the ships, I think you'd forget you are even on a ship.

Seasickness is a worry but bigger ships are supposed to be more stable.

I'm a picky eater, and flying sounds sucky... Strapped to a tin can floating in the sky, sitting next to some stranger. Probably higher chance of surviving a cruise ship sinking than a plane crash. I can't fly but I could swim a bit, plus lifeboats. Airplanes don't have parachutes. But I think if I had more money I'd like to try cruising.

Traveling around Europe's been another dream of mine, there are some one-way repositioning cruises there from the US... Ships are popular in the Caribbean but when that season slows down they move the ships to other places like the Mediterranean. Sure flying takes like a day while a cruise there takes like over a week to get there but at least you have your own room, can get up and walk around, etc. Take a short flight to Miami or New York, hop on a ship and travel to Europe in style! Then take trains, buses, rental cars, short flights around to different parts of Europe to explore. Then ideally plan a ship that leaves Europe to head somewhere else or home... I've been reading about digital nomads, very interesting to me. Living out of a suitcase traveling the world or traveling around North America in an RV. Would love to do both.

There's some world cruises that last a half a year but the price of a new car or more. Kinda always wanted to see the Pyramids or Great Wall of China, but long flight being cramped and not sure how much in a place so foreign I'd want to go alone. Idk maybe someday if I get lucky... But before I would plan half the year at sea, I'd probably take a week-long cruise around the Caribbean to get a taste of it.

I wonder the demographics of world cruises. Probably business owners who can spend half a year away from work with enough money to pay for it, or retired people...

I think most people just do a week-long cruise as a vacation though.
I'd love something like this on program level. Given contents of a variable, I'd like to know where they came from - which pieces of code contributed to the result. I'd also love to be able to mark a piece of data, and see what code touched it or derived new data from it. A programming equivalent of injecting radioisotopes into the body.

It gets into the value of the humanities. Not the departments at universities but the course of study, which must be concerned with the functional sum of sensory systems.

Since Plato, the humanities has served critical purposes beyond the production of immersive experience. But the two are no more separable than science is from logic.

The value of the humanities, in my view, is in beginning with the sum of the effects and critiquing the mechanics from there. I am afraid this necessitstes something like the opposite of a technocracy, with no lack of sincerity and brevity. Hence it’s historical conguencce with enlightenment, whatever that is ...
Somehow in the late 20th century we became so focused on nurture that we've totally and irrationally come to disregard nature. This fallacious tabla rasa thinking justifies the modern conflation between equality of outcome and equality of opportunity, and leads to penalization of those who are better able to achieve, ostensibly in the name of equality, and so called progress.

But the true outcome of failing to consider half of the achievement equation is a regression toward incompetence, as we effectively hold back those who can in a vain attempt to bring up those who cannot. All of society then suffers in the name of a false, unattainable equality.

You can still get Uber pricing directly from inside Apple Maps but Lyft abandoned this plug in. Funny, where I live Lyft was always more expensive, as was completely obvious when I used Apple Maps.

Lyft is cheaper in some markets but I was so annoyed by their fear of comparison that I have stopped using them. And Uber aren't saints, so this is a missed opportunity for Lyft.
Too much truth in this thread so it was flagged. The HN readership and staff do not want their own bubbles popped.
I don't know why you're questioning anything. The judge gave his reasoning. He said:

>defendant ambiguously referenced a lawyer— prefacing that statement...

It's crystal clear that he is referring to this portion of the defendants statement:

>if y’all, this is how I feel, if y’all think I did it

I'm a little bit stunned that people actually think this is how the legal system works. You think that a prosecutor would seriously argue that a defendant didn't request a lawyer because they added "dog" to the end of that request? Or that a judge would take that argument seriously?

The question that matters is: Should the US intervene.

Let's run down a list of the recent US interventions.

Russian Election of 1996: The US helped rig Russia's election in 1996. Electing Yeltsin for a second term is what brought in Putin and basically killed Russian democracy. https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-meddling-in-1996-russian-el...

Iraq: 600,000 dead so far.

Libya: It was supposed to turn into a thriving democracy but instead it's now a thriving slave market. https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/14/africa/libya-migrant-auctions...

Yemen: Largest humanitarian crisis in the world.

The list goes on and on. Things don't get better when the US intervenes. Let Venezuela decide it's own fate.
Both of those sound like applications for AR.
Blaming Itanium for killing all of the bespoke RISC processors from the 90s is a stretch IMHO. Low cost high power x86 architecture chips were a much bigger factor. Nobody had the stomach to pay $70k (plus $20k/year for the mandatory support contract) for a "workstation" that was slower than a $4k PC, especially once Linux got good.

Intel's good luck and heavy investment in shrinking node sizes also made it impossible for niche companies to keep up. They were doomed to be slow power hogs in their attempt to keep up with commodity x86 processors.
Yes, I was thinking that many people thought that designing cars with a computer was silly in the early days of 3-D computer aided design. It seems the jump from creating tactile prototypes to designing on a computer is a much larger jump than moving from a flat computer screen to a VR HMD. I'm surprised there is such a negative response so far on HN.
Seems like AR would be a bit better there.
Questions are almost entirely made with the face (by raising the eyebrows) as one example, which is ASL specific.

I think technology might someday be able to understand ASL and other signed languages (every region/area has their own signed language, generally). But it will be long after computers can easily understand spoken/written languages, which they can only sort of do now and even then very rudimentary currently.

Languages are very complex, and signed languages are no different, but add extra complexity, because you have to also handle facial expressions and hand/arm AND body movements (the whole body moves in ASL to delineate different contexts as another example.)

I for instance just carry around an iPad with a text app (like Sorenson's Buzzcards) which make communicating with hearing people way easier, and save paper.
I’ve been scratching my head about this too. I can’t find a way to introduce such a bug in a date picker. The only one I’m thinking is a off by one when reading the month/year.

After the description of quasicrystals in the submitted piece, I found this paragraph on the author's wikipedia page [1] quite interesting:

> Peter J. Lu and Steinhardt discovered a quasicrystalline Islamic tiling on the Darb-e Imam Shrine (1453 A.D.) in Isfahan, Iran constructed from girih tiles. [2] In 2007, they revealed a conceptual breakthrough that enabled early artists to create increasingly complex periodic girih patterns over a period of centuries, culminating in a nearly perfect quasi-crystalline Penrose pattern five centuries before their discovery in the West.

I ran into a similar issue applying for Global Entry. Luckily an appointment at 3am on Saturday suggested the times were in UTC. Nevertheless this was unnecessary uncertainty and anxiety - what about those who aren't familiar with UTC time?

How can we design datetime libraries to prevent these issues? Or at least make it so that error-prone behaviors must be very explicit?
I would love them to add proper hacker routes where you can get from A to B via the best route and include an Uber and traffic into the mix, optimising for the shortest journey and ordering Uber’s automatically as I leave public transport.
If shorter rides are a better deal ($/km) for Uber and the drivers I can see a win in using uber to/from transit stations, especially as in the USA train stations and the like tend to be built away from where people actually want to be. And transit lines in the USA interconnect poorly (the Bay Area is an extreme example but not the only case).

For example using Uber from my house to Caltrain and from the SF Caltrain to my friend's house would be a convenient single booking.

OTOH I am not sure it's true that short trips are more profitable (for Uber or drivers) in which case this is presumably a PR effort.

It's ridiculous, that post got 253 points and some 429 mostly uncritical comments. The HN crowd should know better than to uncritically trust the MSM, be it the NYTimes, CNN, or others.
I design mechanical stuff for a living and I can't imagine that designing cars in VR is more efficient than CAD. There isn't any barrier right now from idea to CAD. If an engineer (or a scientist) can imagine it, an engineer will be able to design and create it digitally with current technology. I would say the current limitation is the manufacturing tools rather than the designing tools.

Side note, I think the work process for designing the exterior of cars is to create a sculptures with clay, transfer to clay to CAD, and rinse and repeat. I wonder if VR will ever beat manual sculpting.

> Given that IQ seems to be >50% hereditary,

You're kidding right? That is such a painfully incorrect statement. Intelligence is an incredibly complex hugely conserved trait. Bloodlines and power/intellect passed down through the generations is a great fantasy novel setting, but not so much for reality.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that intelligence is hereditary (not nearly as clear cut as you suggest). If Harvard's historical admissions policy was based on an applicant's intelligence, then they could use legacy as a proxy for intelligence in subsequent generations. Of course, if intelligence is only partially hereditary (as you suggested) then Harvard would do better to just apply some uniform standard of intelligence measurements to all applicants, assuming that the goal is to admit the most intellectually gifted students.

Of course it is well known that Harvard's historical admission policy was overtly antisemitic and generally racist, had nothing whatsoever to do with intelligence, and going back far enough was tied to the European Aristocracy. As a result the effect of legacy admissions is actually to perpetuate the effects of those historical policies. Rather than acting as a proxy for intelligence, legacy admissions act as a proxy for membership in a historically privileged class, and basically extends that privilege to the current generation.
Just don't? Besides, .DS_Store files are created on non-FAT filesystems too, even when the filesystem does support extended attributes.
When this is tried, it does not output ideologically-pleasing student demographics. Presumably because all objective tests of merit are hopelessly biased.

Caltech is such a school. And its population is largely largely Asian and Jewish, both demographics Harvard has a history of discriminating against.

I am sure Caltech’s administration is considered hopelessly reactionary, but their graduates have the highest number of Nobel prizes per capita. But again, what sort of merit does a Nobel prize prove? Look at the demographics of the winners.

There were people trying, but there are some real fundamental issues with the approach for general purpose computing. It's extremely hard for a compiler to know if some data is in cache, in memory, or way out in swap. Without this information it's very hard to know how long any memory fetch is going to take. If you're trying to run a lot of computation in parallel that has some interdependencies then this information is paramount.

It's kind of like trying to use a GPU for general purpose computation. Itanium should have been a coprocessor.
Studies show the grandchildren of Vietnam war draftees still suffer an economic hit 2 generations later, so it’s unsurprising slavery casts a pall to this day.

“Diversity” in elite colleges is a scam, essentially rich urban whites throwing poor rural whites under the bus to give themselves a good conscience. Most of the “African-American” candidates have either one white parent of are of Caribbean origin, not the descendants of slaves, and the bonus for them is not means-tested. Don’t expect to find many kids from inner-city ghettoes or the barrio there.

It’s easy to get statistics on racial diversity at US universities but getting numbers on socio-economic diversity is like pulling teeth. SFFA’s suggestion to give a bonus to poor students has a lot of merit, but of course it would upset the elite apple cart at Harvard, which is why they resist it so strenuously.
It will be wholly unsurprising to me when fifty years from now we will talk about the overt discrimination against Asian people in America. I’d expect to read “Despite being highly educated, Asian Americans only held X positions of note...”, “A pervasive culture of emasculation and fetishization of Asian Americans was hidden by the fact that many of them were highly paid”, “Explicit discrimination against Asian Americans on the grounds that subtle factors revealed they were unfit for college admission was hidden under a notion of ‘holistic’ admission”.

Boy! The sociologists of the future are going to have a field day. I can’t wait. After all, back then college authorities said “most Jews are socially untrained” and “the social characteristics of the Jews are peculiar”, and they did use precisely the same language about outside interests. We’re going to look like complete morons for having bought this bullshit story college authorities are selling.

Anyway, I leave you with an excerpt from Harvard President Lowell’s remarkable letter from the 1920s extolling the virtues of quotas limiting Jewish enrollment

> The anti-Semitic feeling among the students is increasing, and it grows in proportion to the increase in the number of Jews. If their number should become 40 per cent of the student body, the race feeling would become intense. When on the other hand, the number of Jews was small, the race antagonism was small also. . . . If every college in the country would take a limited proportion of Jews, I suspect we should go a long way toward eliminating race feeling among the students, and as these students passed out into the world, eliminating it in the community.

This is silly. In China it's nearly LITERALLY both government and big business. You cannot be a big business without the government saying so, and most of the business leaders are party members.

This is a far cry from in the states, where while crony capitalism is an issue -- it isn't the actual law like in China when it comes to large firms and the amount of state intervention.
