This looks like direct competition to Kafka. The technology behind Kafka Streams is solid and can probably give Kafka a run for their money (in fact Redis has more adoption than Kafka). However their product is not in the same quality range.

Flying at a lower speed than cruise speed will allow you to save fuel (per unit of time, not distance). The plane looks quite lightweight.

Perhaps the plane was equipped with long-range fuel tanks? I agree that it sounds like a very long time for this kind of plane.

Wait a minute... I don't see this submission on Ask HN (although I do see it under "new"). However, when I was looking for it, I happened to find https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19187925. As a matter of fact, my submission DID begin with "Why I," and when it appeared, the "Why" didn't appear. Now I realize that I probably didn't make a typo; HN automatically modified my title.

Does the fact that I'm not seeing this submission under "Ask HN" mean that I got somehow auto-flagged or blocked for trying to resubmit, or should I just wait?
The protocol on blinding laser weapons prohibits employing or distributing weapons designed to cause blindness. Is it possible that this weapon is actually intended to be used as a blinding weapon, and the claims about its incendiary capabilities are only to obscure the intended use?

You got to be kidding. Here are the things I can safely say about most Indians, not all, "most":

1. They eat roti and rice.
2. They speak Hindi
3. They wash not wipe their ass.
4. They are Hindu and worship one of the Avtars of shiva and all believe in bharma and bhraman.

Some things are common across a culture. The first step is to acknowledge the problem then we can solve it
On Windows XP this would display a “new device: keyboard connected” balloon and the Safely Remove Device icon would immediately set-off my spidersense - it’s unfortunate that newer releases of Windows hide those notifications by default and the only clue that something might be wrong would be hearing the generic device connected sound multiple times in quick succession which many users might think was their sound-card glitching.

I think a solution is for OSs to only allow the automatic mounting of newly-attached devices if they’re “passive” (e.g. mass storage - assuming no autorun.ini, output-only devices, HID class devices that only expose game-controller functionality, etc) - other device classes like mice and keyboards plugged-in to non-trusted ports should always require explicit approval.

While we’re on the subject: keyboards can be massively improved by adding over-the-wire encryption to prevent keyboard-port logging, and the USB keyboard class should be extended to include the keyboard declaring its layout to the host OS. It’s silly that we still need to configure keyboard language settings or that the OS infers it from our regional settings.

Death is the ultimate joke. We spend so much time worrying about it. Avoiding it. Writing poetry and books about it. Maybe, If your a Religious being, even shaping our entire life around it because of the “ultimate judgement” in the end.

I just went through this with a client. They have something called Team Work which is fine for tracking hours. What wasn’t good is they wanted all time accounted for and they wouldn’t let you add new tasks, management had to add them. So if you wanted to fill out the task honestly (“changed font”), you would need to get the PM to add the new task. So to record 20 minutes of “new task” would require at least another 20 minutes to find the PM for that project and have him add it.

I eventually solved the problem by telling them I would finish the current project but “this isn’t working for me”. Poof, no more time tracking requirement.

> Just looking at the wiki pages for Real Computation is enough to see it is not a physically realizable model.

This computer is literally at the physical limit reality can take. This number is actually quite high, although not unlimited. If you could make a computer faster by 10^30, ok I might not need unlimited. What if this number could be 10^300?

Furthermore, and this is important, this computer allows for a fundamentally different type of computation.

> At every level of physics there is a bound on precision, from boring things like classical macroscopic thermodynamics and noise, to quantum noise, to bounds that emerge in speculative theoretical physics.

Correct, this can be accounted for. Don't press on details, you won't be satisfied with the answers. Can we talk about would be possible if this computer were possible and work backwards? As a mental exercise.

Also what if I'm fundamentally more interested in probabilistic computation and this error can actually be a foundation of my computation.

> then that method would work in electric systems too.

Electricity is fundamentally more "unstable". This error compounds. This of the difference in attenuation rate in electric vs optical media. Where does this attenuation come from?

> And there is actually such a method: turning the computer into a digital computer thanks to error correction codes.

Nope. Think of it as averaging unstable signals. The result is very much continuous.

You are getting too hung-up on the infinity aspect. Let's talk more about what sort of programming model this would allow for.

A Turing machine technically has a tape of infinite length, while current computers don't. Does that mean that no Turing machine has ever been constructed? Does the answer to this question matter?

Also, and this is important, compared with a normal computer, this computer would not heat up. Current CPU's can't get much larger because they can't dissipate heat fast enough. What if you could have a CPU of the size of a cube of the volume of one cubic meter?

No, it doesn't. There are fights (both literal and metaphorical, hence this is not a problem with the metaphor) you cannot win no matter how hard you fight because you are outmatched by too much for more effort to overcome.
Yeah, I am actually upset I didn't take one such person down when I had all cards in my hand, but I still believed in innate "goodness" of all humans; now that person is doing damage at a higher position at one of FANGs; who knows how many people were destroyed on their ascending path? The usual argument about stopping one that would allow another horrible person to rise, so it's futile, has some merit though; I've been shocked multiple times when I helped some desperate person only to observe horrible behavior of that person once their problems went away.

Forgiveness can't be dispensed automatically; it has to be deserved/earned by real actions/intentions. I think because mainstream culture was "meek", it allowed sociopaths to hack it and pervert it, pushing victims to always forgive while laughing at them and making their lives more and more miserable. I think in middle ages required penance was quite brutal by our contemporary soft standards.

I don't think so, since projection would be like taking the line between the center of the earth and the plane and finding where that intersects the surface of the earth. That doesn't depend on the trajectory of the earth through space.

No. Incremental changes over millions of generations in response to environmental pressures are not "random".

Analog can actually be much more precise than 8-bit since there's no quantization noise (yes, this is not A2D, but any intermediate results can take middle values that will only make the final value more precise than digital signal).

A Case Study of Our First Product Launch with Agile Methodology
I like the idea - but doesn’t it also introduce a single point of failure?
It’s not a first to offer free med school tuition, but the best reason I can see why Kaiser would do this is self-preservation. Get students in the door with free tuition, put them to work for free with immersions in Kaiser institutions, and then put them in residencies in Kaiser hospitals. It’s like an educational corporate town. A private company is keeping a stronghold on their huge healthcare network and establishing a medical school is a great way to support their own interests. I don’t believe a private healthcare company is going to offer a no-strings-attached free lunch.

Removing Kaiser from the situation, what would the sentiment be if Amazon or Google bought up a small college and started their own university where cirriculum was based solely around AWS or Google Cloud? Where students worked on projects to directly support the shareholders and business in exchange for a piece of paper. It seems like a better deal for the company than the students.

Not to say the students aren’t good or qualified. They could be damn good doctors. Only time will tell.
>I mean someone can just replace the cables in my house and my phones and computer would become infected.

I don't think toxicity is built in, though I understand where the thinking comes from. I play Overwatch (albeit on PC) and pretty actively use a mic, and I make a point of being the first person to talk in a channel. I'm friendly and I'm even-keeled about it, and that sets the tone. Once that tone is set it's very difficult for your garden-variety douchebag to start mouthing off.

I didn't major in cs, but took a 101 level course for fun. It was taught with Python. Never really got the unit on recursion. Made it through the work, but I didn't feel comfortable actually using it in any future code.

Some time after graduating I bought a used copy of SICP and recursion clicked for me as soon as it was introduced. The parenths, prefix notation, and notion of evaluating expressions rather than returning values just made it seem so much more natural.

This is probably an annoying comment since HN already has more than enough Lisp wanking, but I wonder if other students also experienced hangups over recursion because the course's language's syntax doesn't quite facilitate it in the same way.
I think that an important principle of the American organization of power is accountability (that one which is "something left when responsibility is subtracted", according to a Scandinavian). I think that Supreme Court almost exclusively (meaningfully) interacts with the rest of the country via its decisions. I think that may mean that Supreme Court can be judged - and e.g. a justice impeached - solely on the basis of their decisions, as it's the only thing they do. Without this, I see a contradiction with the principle.

That means that if e.g. Congress finds some decisions of Supreme Court distorting Constitution, the Congress is justified in removing a justice solely on the basis of the decisions made by them.
If you ever use another proof assistant, you will find that too much documentation is much better than not enough. You can certainly skip the documentation in the main pages if you get the gist. I think Metamath is most suited for a certain kind of person, the one who asks "why" incessantly and is attracted to precision of language. The best part is that you don't need to know any mathematics at all to understand it - everything is defined in excruciating detail, so it's completely self-contained.

Some things are common across a culture. The first step is to acknowledge the problem then we can solve it

The first step is actually learning about something to the point that, when you talk about it, you’re doing something other than revealing and revelling in your own ignorance.

For example...

1. Rice and flatbread are staples around the world. All of India doesn’t eat roti, feel free to learn about the many varied cuisines of India sometime. For example, some parts of India have a tradition of eating beef, others of eating pork, still others tend to be vegetarian. Some regions have blazingly spicy cuisine, others are mild.

2. No, again, even a cursory search online would show you otherwise.

3. Stop spying on people in the toilet.

4. Only the Hindus, not the Muslims, Sikhs, and other religions.
