A Gentle Introduction to Multithreading
hey there, I've sent you an email a while ago but didn't get a reply so far. Are you guys still hiring?
To be fair, most of the videos I see of the US Police abuse is generally caused by the fact they're afraid. Then you watch the documentaries and interviews and see a constant re-enforcement of that fear. It's like they're trained to be afraid and every day they are told to remain afraid.
> and calling it infested, in other words, implying that we'd prefer that they not be there

It's bad from the point of view of the monkeys that were infesting the trees above the river.
This is mostly filesystem-dependent. If you have a LVM or ZFS volume for instance resizing is (usually) trivial. When you think about it resizing and in particular shrinking a filesystem is very much a non-trivial operation behind the curtains, it's not surprising that some filesystems don't support it out of the box especially since it's not a super common operation in the wild in my experience.
> With great wealth comes great inequality

What do you class as great wealth? Scandinavian countries seem to do OK.
Exactly! Both examples, the "infestations" of meat and wood, are quite human-centric as they describe value loss of what humans would consider "useful material". Even though they are both relevant parts of a cyclical ecosystem.
Turns out the gig economy is gradually shrinking
It will take state level intervention. The voting population of the city of San Francisco itself has enormously outsized influence on the regional economy due to their ability to control development within the borders of the city. But they constitute nowhere near the majority of the population of the Bay Area. At some point (ideally) their state level politicians will just get steamrolled by the representatives of the rest of the state's population, and most of their power to control local development will be stripped away.

The author chose to add a "white supremacy" tag to this. Let's keep this crap off HN.
The simplest answer is that it predates repositories of that size being a practical idea, and it's not changed because of institutional inertia.
Yeah, but the Linux method is so much more generic; so can be used for more than just downsizing the partition.
Apparently, it was previously available in health food shops (like Holland & Barrett), as in many other countries, but was banned around 1995 and is now considered a prescription-only medicine.
Boxes seem very similar to Dataflow programming, of which unix pipes are merely an instance.
The thing is that bank security is at least theoretically possible. Banks and/or governments act as a central sources of trust in such systems and trust for can be derived from this source. I.e. a bank could build the hardware tokens from scratch themselves. With an election the trust model is inverted. I'm not sure there is any practical way to allow the trust sources (every voter) to audit the hardware tokens.
Good that it worked for you. In fact purchasing it from the anti-allergic counter shelf used to be lot cheaper than buying it as a sleep medication.

I did not benefit from the few times I tried it. Its very potent, even 1/4th makes me super drowsy. However, under the surface my mind is alert. Its like being very drunk but trying furiously to concentrate through that drowning drunkenness. As a result, I did get sleep, but not remotely of the restful kind.

L-Theanine and writing on the other hand has been a big help. So lots of shared experiences.
I think it would bother me having the click buttons separate from the 'touchpad', but a cool concept none the less.

Can anyone see how you switch between keyboard and touchpad mode? Or does it guess based on gestures? I tried to find it in the user manual, but it appears to only be in Korean.
I think by straightforward they mean you can follow it properly, that's because it's a full step by step that explains each step in enough details to be used, and even includes details for "what to do if you're not in the state expected".

A lot of such guides have a fair amount of "then use tool X to do important part Y" without explaining any of it, making it horrible if you don't know X or the details of Y.

Source: I once tried to fix and resize half-broken LVM volumes and if the sonology guys didn't take time to help me I would probably have just ended up wiping it all and recovering all 16 TB from backups because internet self help is still a harsh place on some linux fs matter.
It's the successor of react-virtualized (https://github.com/bvaughn/react-virtualized) by the same author Brian Vaughn (https://github.com/bvaughn). There is a section (https://github.com/bvaughn/react-window#how-is-react-window-...) in which he explains why he made a new library.
I didn't read the paper since it first came out (1-2 years ago?), but I seem to recall a clear causal link was found?

I had always had the illusion that Ireland was well connected to US and EU. Given how many tech company have Data Centre in there. Quite Strange its IX isn't as good as it could be.

Off Topic:

Is the short form (Republic of Ireland) ROI used often? Because the first thing that springs to mind reading ROI is Return of Investment.

Isn't Ireland short enough as a word? I understand there is Northern Ireland, but people will actually put Northern In front of it to be specific. Like North Korea instead of Korea.

Ask HN: Anyone else hit with scraping and spammed by scraping protection SaaS?
We recently started suffering from a fairly sophisticated scraper. The attack was sustained, always getting around the simple protections we deployed.

Around a week later several of our employees got sales emails from two companies specializing in scraping prevention, the company names starting with Da… and Pe… (trying to not affect their reputation unless someone else recognizes the names based on a similar experience.)

We ultimately rejected their solicitations and a short while later, in the past few days, the scraping stopped.

We're now suspicious that something shady is going on. They could've been the ones launching the attack, to make us more likely to purchase their services. They could even just stop the attack once we subscribe and act like their software blocked it perfectly, making us satisfied with their purchase.

So I want to know: did anyone else have a similar experience?

Daydreaming is the first step, necessary and extremely useful.Alone on her own the visionary role does not go far enough though.

What happens is that usually the capability of visionary (seeing what does not exist yet in front of you like it is real)is related with your personality.

People who has not this capability could not really see what does not exist, but they are essential for following the roadmap(tracker) the good visionary can design.

The tracker personality on her own can't really go far enough too. This person does not really know where to go.

You can do both roles yourself, the visionary and the tracker, but that is very hard because you have to switch roles, almost like Mr Jekyl and Mr Hyde. And you will have a very strong tendency towards one of them.

Or you can partner with someone who is a "natural" tracker if you are a natural "visionary". The sum of the parts will be much better than the individual parts.
I love Outline too.
Oh well as an Estonian that topic is staring to become really tiring especially because we just passed to voting season.

Bottom line is:
Conservatives / nationalists are preferred by older folks and these parties lobby against anything that can give votes to liberals. They also know that youngster might skip the voting after all if we would go back to paper voting all together. Also there will be major reputation loss. But since conservatives are against EU, open-trading and anything outside our teeny-tiny pond they don't give a flying fuck about that.
There was a ton of anti-Chinese bashing because they were seen as being the cause of empty homes, and this issue was linked to the housing crisis in Vancouver. But looking at the examples of empty homes, I doubt that the South Surrey place for example was owned by a Chinese owner. It would be interesting to see statistics.

Also, a few hundred or even thousand homes rented to non-groups is hardly going to ease the tight vacancy rate in Vancouver. The housing issue has more to do to poor urban planning.

XAP CREDIT SOLUTION can fix your credit
I finally got my credit fixed through the help of a credit company XAP CREDIT SOLUTION, this company prides itself with various levels of credit repair. After all I went through in the hands of fake hackers. A good review I read about them drove me into contacting them out of curiosity. Very reliable and efficient, they boosted my score to a whooping 800 in 12 days, as I type, I’m still astonished. I must preach XAP to the world. Get your credit fixed today contact XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM or text 972 597 9704. I told you so…
Yeah, I have tweaked the settings on them before; they generally have a sort of palm detection that prevents them from misfiring which works pretty well for me - only in one case have I ever had to adjust a laptop for that.
It's far more generic but also practically useless for an end-user. Really, its only use seems to be for someone who is a remote sysadmin of some sort. You have to stop pretty much everything on the computer, and still go through a reboot. The only difference thing it buys you is being able to stay SSH'd at the cost of wasting so much more time and going through so much more risk and inconvenience. On Windows you'd just shrink and keep using the system as usual.
TL,DR: Yes, racism is wrong.

The article defines racism as a "trumped up charge of which the media are fond," as separate from "racial prejudice" which it diminishes in relevance as "just a single member of a set of possible social complaints, all of which deserve equal attention," giving ageism as an example.

Meanwhile the rest of the world defines racism as racial prejudice, and racism (under it's actual common definition) has had a far more profound and terrible impact on society than ageism. We in the US never needed National Guard troops to integrate people of a certain age into our public schools, for instance.

So I have to disagree. Racism is not a scare term invented by the media, nor is it separate from racial prejudice.

Racial prejudice is not equal to all other forms of prejudice because race was not equal to all other qualifiers in the formation of the social, political and economic structures which underlie Western civilization. The US was founded under the assumption of the superiority of Europeans and the ownership of Africans as chattel - an explicitly race based stratification of power and privilege.

The effects of the legacy of white supremacy and race-based power structures are not the same as the effects of ageism, or any other arbitrary trait. Therefore, attempts to address race and racism, specifically, are not misguided, nor do they detract from other efforts.

Meh. As white supremacist apologia goes, this is uninspired. The author thinks they're being far more clever and subversive than they are.
The term "incremental" backup (in contrast to "full" backup) is no longer as useful as it was in the 2000s -- GP is actually correct that "incremental" backup systems don't provide this feature (since incremental backups only include the difference from the previous backup).

However modern (or, if you prefer, "real") backup systems backup systems" (like borgbackup and restic) aren't "incremental" in this traditional sense, they are a mix of both "full" and "incremental" backups such that you get the benefits of both without the corresponding downsides.
Read the article until the end, in the last section it says that plastic produced by this method is would break naturally in the environment.
The point is that two of this currentlt rather rare 737 version went down in a year or so, for reasons which might be related. Up to you, of course, but personally I might opt for a 737-800 or A32x until the investigation is concluded. Both are plentiful.
What did you use for a power supply, out of interest? I've been dabbling with synths & info about power supplies seems to be the major thing that's lacking.
It’s not permitted to be sold by chemists in the UK. If so it would be an over-the-counter medicine.

Rather, it looks some online chemists skirt around the rules by having an “online doctor” issue you with a prescription. But the UK-based ones I found were very expensive and it is surely cheaper just to import from the US via eBay etc.
so when the switches fail you gotta plug in a mouse anyways. switches fail on an average of one every 5 years in my experience(shorter if you're using one of the chinese clones like kailh instead of cherry since they don't have as good QC in my experience)

These guys haven't mentioned switches so i guess they're using cheaper variants to cut down costs. something to be aware of...
Please don't just call these 737s; there have been 12 variants of 737s since 1967. The basic name means nothing.

The 737 Max 8 is what is in question.

It's also shining a spotlight on why the FAA allowed the Max to be certificated it on the same cert as the original 100-seat 737-100 from 50 years ago. About the only element still shared are the cockpit windows.
“Any” seems incredibly implausible. Class A drugs have penalties for mere possession.
Strange coincidence: I just happen to be watching the PBS Nova episode "Great Human Odyssey", which shows Mau student Kalepa Baybayan's planned 3-year circumnavigation on the Hokule'a using traditional navigation techniques.
I found maintaining a TODO list was helpful in seeing how fragmented my ideas were, which helped me to start actually doing things, because for one thing, I realized that I had forgotten most of my (fragmented and peculiar) ideas, and even more so, there were ideas that I found important most of the time I eyed the activities on my TODO list. Still, even without this insight, I'd say one asks himself quite often "What I should do now" in terms of reading/watching a movie/etc., and to answer that TODO list is honestly pretty helpful.
ROI is often used, yes.

It's a good way of easily differentiating between whether you're talking about Ireland the island, or Ireland the country, which currently excludes the six counties of Northern Ireland (NI) which are still part of the UK.

The term Ireland is often used to refer to the island as a whole, but obviously this can depend on the political leaning of who you're talking to.

Northern Ireland, depending on context and/or who is speaking can otherwise be referred to as Ulster (problematic, as the province of Ulster has 9 counties, only 6 of which are in Northern Ireland). It is also common in some circles to refer to the 6 counties currently occupied by the British simply as "the north".

In short, Ireland is a hot geopolitical mess and when talking about Ireland, it is useful to be as specific and as neutral as is possible.

So ROI/NI are quite useful shorthands.

Single-use flares/smoke generators are nice if you are sure you will be spotted during that specific fly-through by rescue team. If not, you need to pack some amount with you. You need to be sure they don't 'expire' and don't get wet.

What about some emergency signal mirrors with pinhole? It can be plastic so nearly indestructible, weights few grams, basically credit-card size, cost nothing, due to pinhole you can point the sun reflection pretty precisely towards rescuers and it doesn't run out.

Drawback is obviously inefficiency without direct sunlight, but this is something I carry on every camping trip and I don't even think about it anymore.
> it seems to favor small piece of ad-hoc code over classes

I think that it's important to realize is that classes aren't the only alternative to small pieces of ad-hoc code. Hooks are composable via functions. If you need to reuse your stateful behavior and side effects you can factor them into functions, and if you don't, you'll have exactly the same problems with classes.
Online voting statistics are available here:

Same smart card is used every online service in Estonia.
96% taxes are done online.

So online voting is not something new for older people. It is just like every other online service.
It may be even worse than that, because the A330 is a long-range plane. I’ve been on an 11 hour A330 flight. Many 737 flights are only a couple of hours.

Of course, given the small numbers of 737 MAXes, this may be s statistical fluke. But grounding it til the investigation is complete doesn’t seem crazy to me.
By way of example, suppose you have a weather dataset with 30 parameters such as temperature, cloud cover, solar radiation, etc.

Your objective is to classify points on a map that have similar weather conditions.

You can do PCA on these geographical points at a given time. Your matrix will have as columns weather parameters and as rows the different geographical points.

PCA will determine how to best represent the variation in data into smaller dimensions. If you are lucky, 80% of the variation can be plotted in a 2D plot as in OP's post.

Points in the x/y cartesian that have similar weather will plot closer to each other.

This process reduces dimension. For example, temperature and solar radiation are strongly correlated and will tend to "push" into the same direction so that you can replace those parameters by a virtual parameter. (For weather data, that would tend to be the x-axis in the PCA biplot as temperature and similar parameters are often sufficient to classify a climate for the purposes that I have encountered in agriculture.)

In a nutshell, this is a real word example of when one can use PCA.
Nobody said it's impossible. It's just insecure, unverifiable, and non-anonymous.

Unless you inspect every voting machine, smart-card reader, internet connection, encryption algorithm, etc. for every election completely, you can potentially manipule millions of votes from your home from the other side of the planet. Or on a smaller scale, change all votes of one or multiple voting machines.
Currently older people vote in much larger numbers than younger people, so I don't see how that's a major concern. Clearly the current setup advantages the elderly in practice.
File sharing and storage made simple
Restless legs is not yet a solved problem, but supplementation with either iron, niacin or both seems to help most suffers.

AFAIK, no clinical deficiency of either is observed (with iron it will be in your blood chemistry, with Niacin it would manifest as Pelagra if observed).

Do your own reading about them. Both iron and niacin can be overdosed.

From my experience, use only pure niacin (nicotinic acid), rather than nictoinamide or inositol forms (the latter apparently completely useless but still marketed). Also, avoid the time release forms. But ... this is the internet, I might as well be a dog. Do your own research. Woof.

While you're technically correct, isn't it pretty much an accepted fact that when people refer to the "speed" of internet, they are actually talking about bandwidth?

E.g. "how fast is your internet", etc.

It's of little value to the end user to know how fast a bit travels, all they care about is how fast they can download.
Absolutely.

Now, if you agree that shared libraries haven't been available for a long time and that coredumps haven't worked for a long time, that doesn't mean that nothing works. That doesn't mean that every case has been broken. But I think it means that the support has been very lightly tested for a long time now, or not tested at all. And assuming that something works when it hasn't been tested for a long time is ugh.

I think the reason I care about this is dogmatic. I believe, dogmatically, that untested code is broken. If you accept that dogma and do not test a.out support now, then the coming change does not break a.out. If you do test, fine. If you disagree that untested code is broken, fine. If you say it "might imaginably work" or somesuch, fine.

I'm curious about what we can do with digital voting, in terms of evolving democracy. If, hypothetically, all mechanical issues are solved...

We could have more direct democracy, with high-frequency referendums, reversible proxies, publicly submitted or endorsed bills. The democracies we have were designed around mechanical limitations, so it stands to reason that (at least some) democracies would change when those limits go away.

That said... there seems to be a dearth of ideas, at least few seemingly useful ones that I ever hear.

If you were making a new constitution for a village or city, what could be done with electronic voting and how does it make it better?

BRTW, links welcome.
And, of course, when some things we now take for granted wouldn't simply not have been available to even the richest of people. Say, air travel.
That is cool if you are in fairly open high country. But these guys had climbed into the canopy of a tree, so both the sunlight, and the reflected light from the mirror could have been blocked by foliage.

That’s just the point, as a “senior developer”, I’m looking for someone who can select “New Solution” and start a project from scratch or at least start a new major feature. Anyone can pull up an IDE in almost any language, step through existing code, pull up a watch window and fix a bug. That’s something developers can do with three years of experience. Bug fixing is something you put your more junior developers on.

I have no idea why all of the old folks (again I am in my mid 40s) consider it some great skill that excuses them from actually keeping up with what’s going on in the industry.
