Just from my own personal experience, I disliked math classes, but I was terrified by my Spanish class. Something about class participation in another language filled me with dread, and I learned to absolutely hate it. It seemed tedious and stressful at the same time to me, I felt so stupid. Now I'm more sure of myself and could probably do just fine, but it was a big missed opportunity, and that's a skill I wish I had now.

Underlying this is the fact that teaching is a discipline by itself. Understanding the material is maybe halfway to quality teaching.
One day, social anthropologists will read these Hacker News message forums to learn about tribal warfare among programmers. What will they say, considering their entire new world was based on Rust?

Kidding. Stop fighting, people. You're all on the same team.
It's not a perfect comparison, because arguably "NES" is now more of a style than a genre. For example, Shovel Knight is a NES-styled game, but its genre is action-platformer.

And "2019 AAA game" is neither a genre nor a style, so the comparison you're making here is even weirder.
Some states require ethanol some do not. However states that don't require ethanol still use a lot of ethanol because it is cheaper than the alternatives
Radiothermal generators already power satellites and space probes.

Nuclear fuel has the highest energy density of any fuel currently available to us.

Wind and water power is unavailable when there is no atmosphere or weather cycle. Solar power requires more surface area as you get further from the sun. Solar panels and storage batteries have mass, too.

Combustion fuels have mass, and the rocket equation hates superfluous mass in objects launched to orbit.

A good engine for low-gravity propulsion would be a nuclear reactor that heats propellant to a very high temperature and then releases it at high velocity. That's not the sort of engine that could get you to orbit, but it does provide a lot of delta-V once you are up there. Propellant can be found outside of gravity wells, and a refuel mission carrying nuclear fuel is cheap to launch on a dollar per joule basis.

Nuclear waste does not endanger the environment if there is no environment to endanger. No one is likely to stumble across it accidentally. Criticality accidents would only kill the crew, if there even is a crew.

Habitats that are buried deeply to protect against radiation and to contain a bio-friendly environment may not be able to rely on solar alone. They would likely need a large mass of batteries to make it through storms and nights, and an RTG or a full-blown reactor might provide more reliable power for less mass.
That's exactly it. Other examples are parents depending on state get fined/threatened to loose their children when doing things like letting them walk across a park accompanied by a 10yo sibling.

Just to give an idea where I'm from:

* in my home country (one of the highest GDP/capita, so we're not talking poor&rural), children are walking alone or in unaccompanied groups to kindergarden at age 5-6. if parents try and drive them they're often scolded by school authorities, they're supposed to handle it by themselves.

* in Japan (just another example that I know well), children walk to school at age 5-6, accompanied by a 1-3 year older sempai that explicitely takes over the responsibility for younger colleagues. There's also people taking the responsibility for a given street corner at a defined time in the morning, watching out for the youngins a bit (but it's not necessarily their own). Again, people who drive their own are typically scolded by society.

* after school, children in both countries typically go do other activities on their own, like go to football club or in case of Japan do some school club activity. Curfew time is typically before dark or around 5-6pm.

* from time to time there tends to be an accident or case of violence/murder against children that might have been avoided without this culture of letting them run. people are outraged against the person who did it, but culture of self responsibility is not questioned and life goes on. risk is typically 1/1 million or lower (relatively safe drivers, low levels of violence).
Modern ICE cars are shut off at stops. No battery required.
Hold your horses a bit, cowboy. You realize this tool was created by NSA and helped countless dissidents, journalists etc in highly oppressive regimes to express their voices. Something a German citizen should still be concerned about when trying to learn from history...

Yes there is illicit usage of this in crime world (even though some small portion can be morally justifiable, most is not), but there should be at least a discussion about pros and cons if we want to call ourselves a just and fair society (which I realize is not what everybody craves for, but I hope vast majority does).
Project CEDaCI wants to develop a circular supply chain for datacentre equipment
I disagree. This story is far too insignificant for people who are nowhere near the incident to be alarmed about.

We have a lot to think and worry about all the time much closer to our homes. Stories like this being reported by an outlet so far removed from the situation on the ground don't serve the people receiving the news apart from triggering them.
It's quite noticeable when going from "new" asphalt to old or vice versa at freeway speeds. Air resistance adds quite a bit of sound as well, the faster you go.
Thats just the point, these services are already outlawed. There are numerous laws that regulate the sale of drugs, weapons etc., which makes these onion-services already illegal. The wording of this proposal is made deliberately weak so that even Exit nodes will be covered, if it gets through the Bundestag.

Alas a small word on the legislative procedure. This is "only" a draft of a proposal of the Bundesrat (what in most states is called the Senate). The 'Bundesrat' has no legislative authority, so in essence this is a paper that 'calls the Bundestag (House of representatives)' to initiate a legislative procedure -- on itself it is pretty meaningless but has the chance to become a problem.
No I don't care to. It is a fact, they even organized it on that subreddit... it was out in the open at the time it occurred. Anyone who read that sub at that time had a chance to see them explicitly discuss and organize it.

Gamergate is really a topic that folks who want to belive are going to belive, and no amount of linking is going to change anyone's mind. You literally had folks posting their tweets from their account(s) and then if things went bad that same user would claim that same twitter account was a fake account someone else made to make them look bad.

It's just one of those things that I found not to be worth getting into a googling / link fight about, just as a personal policy.

People can make of that what they will / not belive me, but it not worth linking to it as I find folks will belive what they're going to belive anyway.
> I honestly fail to see the larger point of that legislation, if a platform is as clearly targeted towards the crimes

the problem with wide legislation is that it's got a chilling effect.

Would bitcoin or crypto currency be targeted? it's a fully anonmyous payment system which could circumvent anti-money laundering laws, and be used to conduct illegal activities.

I think platforms should never be charged as illegal. Only acts that are illegal should be charged, and the platform where it takes place should be deemed a neutral utility or carrier.

Who knows what's going to be illegal tomorrow? Who knows if a fascist gov't comes into power, and starts targeting specific groups, using such laws?
Apologies, I often skip spell checking and my fingers have a different idea of how some things should be formed.

Can you comment on my point and not add an "What about x" ?
My point is about the user, do I benefit is a supermarket makes it own products cheaper, Yes , but if it makes my preferred product more expensive to force me to buy the product they want, this does not benefit me,

again, tell me about what the benefit is for the user/consumer not what about x, the market shares, the laws in US, free market ....

> I want my environment there for me to edit and debug code

Both of those instances of the Smalltalk VM, the one in OS process 8689 and the one in OS process 8690, are headfull — they both include the full Smalltalk IDE, they are both fully capable of editing and debugging code.

(There's a very visible difference between the 2 Smalltalk IDEs that opened on my desktop: visualnc64.im is as-supplied by the vendor; quad.im has an additional binding for the X FreeType interface library, so the text looks quite different).

(iirc Back-in-the-day when I had opened multiple Smalltalk images I'd set the UI Look&Feel of one to MS Windows, of another to Mac, of another to Unix: so I could see which windows belonged to which image.)
There is some complicated explanation: the AOA disagree alert requires the presence of the visual AOA indicators, and it's those indicators that are the paid upgrade, and the alert comes along for the ride with them.
I always want to imagine these drafts as a request for information (although they mostly aren't). I doubt too much technical know-how was involved when drafting this and I hope before going to the next step they actually call on someone who can accurately depict exactly what each concept is and how to clearly differentiate them.
The answer is reducing consumption.
actually the situation in germany in getting hotter as years pass.

last year it was reported that on numerous occasions german police were using cell-tower data and cross referencing burner and real mobile phones just to get some guys who were doing graffiti. wonder what data they acquire for everyone involved in more serious crime cases
This. I left my job last month while making $500K/year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19135399. I realized that after I attained a basic level of financial security (bills on autopay & some savings), addition income stopped mattering for my satisfaction. I don’t intend to retire. Work gives me satisfaction, but I want to work on my terms and doing things that intrinsically motivate me. Trying to find satisfaction in earning as much as possible is an unachievable thing.
Looks like I misunderstood the result, I will change the post to reflect this.
Can't say for sure re this article, but often editors choose headlines.
No, they are making it illegal to aid other people's illegal activities through web services. I think it's more of a clarification of what constitutes aiding criminal activities in the internet services context.
I always love this person's posts. Great informative and fun reads... Keep it up.
Did you learn about watergate via Wikipedia?
Appreciate this more nuanced take. I think 'software engineering" job and "CS job" arent quite complementary. I do disagree that 'optimal' is often unimportant. It does matters a great deal when it matters, especially if that is the core of the project.

Dont know how much I can talk about the problems. One of them was definitely a string related problem but not about string diffing. The other two were on optimizing cost over all possible partitioning of a set (different kinds of sets in the different projects) -- hence my embarrassment at not having noted the same structure in the two different problems right away. It was one of those moments, "Wait a minute. I am doing this wrong. The sets are different but in an abstract sense I am doing the same thing in the other project over a different set".

Without DP it would have been very hard to come close to the optimal solution by local explorations unless one got lucky and started of by looking around a promising place in the search space.

I am sure DP can be put to some use when trying to optimize the placing of VMs on hosts. If done well the savings in dollars can easily hit 6 figures or more. These are real problems with real money at stake.
My hypothesis is a software growth, like a business or an economy, is fueled by debt. We create technical debts, both deliberately and accidentally, to write software faster. And when the software proves itself as a viable project, we could (ideally) start paying the debt.

Rust forces users pay certain kinds of debt upfront that makes Rust attractive for rewriting, but I don't think it's that much attractive for greenfield projects. You'd want to fight your problems, not your problems plus Rust. On top of my head right now I couldn't think of any famous Rust projects which aren't a rewrite.

Personally I don't think Rust is that hard to learn and some of my side projects are being written in Rust. But if I ever had a business with Rust as a main language, I'd be worry I could find enough Rust programmers. Fortunately the community is addressing its ergonomics and hopefully one day its approachability and learning curve will also gain more attention.
Shine on, dude, shine on. Inspiring! I love the fact that you've been working on this for a long time, yet 60 seconds ago I was completely unaware of it. What other amazing things are amazing people working on out there?

Can someone explain to me how EV's can scale in older urban residential areas (most european cities) where cars are typically parked on the street (i.e. no private parking spaces)?

I just can't see how the logistics of charging would work for more than a few EVs per city block...

Taking control of your internet experience – individuality and the modern web
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. :) Like I mentioned, this article only lays the groundwork. The next article I intend to write on is DP+Strings (for example, finding the longest substring of a string which is a subsequence of another, etc)

I'm starting with classical problems and I'll soon diverge into non-classical problems, as I've mentioned in my article too.

In any case, hope my other articles on my blog added more value to you in comparison!
I feel the exact same way. Never will anything in my home needlessly connect to some cloud service and give away my data. And even less would I be willing to pay for that...
>your feedback

Why bother? Policy is a combination of the things their lawyers told them to do, and the arbitrary decisions they're want to look less arbitrary by having been written in important-sounding documents.

The best I can hope to effect their policy is basically copyediting. They don't give a shit what I think, except so far as it causes them to write down the kind of decisions they were predisposed to make anyway but hadn't written down yet.
Someone should put together a crash weight loss program that simulates being convicted in the Japanese criminal justice system modeled on this.
I was expecting to see an article about yet another retro pi but I’m seriously impressed by this. Not only is the hardware really cool but your tooling and software setup is equally impressive. Great job.
100%. A garbage truck and a tiny pothole are magnitudes louder than any consumer vehicle. Repaving the roads would have a much larger effect on noise than replacing every ICE vehicle with a tesla.
Depending on the situation a write unsafe fast fix later maybe the more economic approach. Especially if the code is more exploratory, changes a lot and large parts will be finally discarded.

It would not be the first time, that such a law finally passes the parliament. And it would not be the first time, that such a law is invalidated by the Federal Constitutional Court after that.
It's quite unrelated, but I've been wondering something about neuroscience grammar: Why is it "in primary visual cortex" and not "in _the_ primary visual cortex"?
Burial, μ-Ziq, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Squarepusher, Autechre, Four Tet, Venetian Snares, Access to Arasaka and, lately, Skee Mask.

Also really like dungeon synth sometimes (Erang, Dargaard, Depressive Silence). If I'm doing something that doesn't require a lot of attention, I might listen to some black metal (Wolves in the Throne Room, Panopticon, Falls of Rauros, maybe Immortal if I'm deeper than my third cup of coffee).
Change the TCO to 2x-5x then you're right.

If you want water springs and insects but also want economic growth you should be thankful that people are spending money on art and music rather than bigger SUVs, houses and jet travel. The only way really to have unlimited economic growth on a finite planet is for the money to go into that kind of stuff.

>Usually people have problems with Linux and Nvidia because they already have Nvidia in their computer. So changing hardware for Linux to make it work properly involves

Ok, then suppose you decide you want to run MacOS. Do you think it's unreasonable to have to change your hardware for that? Then why do you think Linux should be able to magically run perfectly on all PC hardware out there?

>Nobody was complaining about anything you bring up there.

The Win10 spying is the #1 complaint I hear from people these days about why they're "really" going to switch to Linux this time.

>Not everybody who wants to play a game after work or from time to time is addicted.

Yet the anti-Linux people constantly bring up games as some huge reason that desktop Linux "just can't work" and is "completely impossible". No, not everyone plays games, but people like you just can't conceive of this, can you?

>So I guess you just don't have much experience then. It's not just office and outlook

I have decades of experience, unlike you apparently. In all my engineering jobs, the only thing Windows is used for is Office and Outlook, and maybe running a hypervisor.
As someone who majored in math/physics I'm going to heavily disagree. I was quite poor when it came to multiplication tables, and monsters like long division, but was a pretty good student through university. I never felt like I needed any of those things through any higher level maths, and making those a requirement to learn (or at least drill as much as they do) seems counter productive.
Also as personal policy, when someone asserts something, is asked for evidence, and then comes back with "it's really well known and I'm not going to provide evidence for it", I assume that means they looked for evidence and couldn't find any. Lots of things are commonly known in a subgroup despite having no primary sources.

That may not be the case here, but it's a better policy than taking things on faith in my opinion.
I doubt that this is anything to do with a soapbox, since most members of the general public in Germany probably don't even know what the darknet is, or what tor is and how to use it. Also: It's coming from the ministry of justice. So this seems like technical lawmaking, where the judiciary is probably taking the opinion that there is a "hole" in existing laws versus what they believe should be the spirit of the law that should be plugged.
I have found that understanding often diffuses anger.

For example, if you are dangerously cut off by someone on the highway and you speed ahead to yell at them, your blood is boiling with the expectation of a confrontation... until you stop at the next light and realize the person is having a seizure and actually needs help! In that moment your new understanding of the situation melts your anger away very very effectively.

In general, if you practice and train your mind to seek understanding of the circumstances surrounding the behavior that's making you angry, your anger will melt.
i haven't seen widespread calls not to talk about mass shootings. i have seen calls to focus media coverage on the victims whose lives were cut short and not on the killers and their twisted motives.
Thanks for pointing out the typo! I'll fix that right away.

And in regards to the "global variable", my variable 'dp' is my cache array. It's where I'm storing my precomputed results.

If I don't modify it, it's not DP anymore, it's plain recursion. :)

I guess I should've mentioned that the actual memoization table is an exception.

Anyway, thanks for reading my article! :)
I’m sure he and the co author are aware of this. My complaint is that by focusing on big media + gov many readers or people who hear this phrase then often don’t think about the other aspects of this phenomenon (that it’s pervasive and kind of natural) but that we should be aware none the less.

A harmful accusation? To a hate subreddit? Surely you jest.
I think the most real reason is that it's hard to develop a targeted ad profile of a user who is doing everything in their power to make sure this particular interest of theirs is isolated from every other aspect of their life. It's just not a productive use of ad money.
Samsung Begins Mass Production of 12 GB LPDDR4X for Smartphones
Apple has some really nice developer tools and they provide my business a lot of value. I'd gladly pay more for them if I had to.
This entire comment rests on confusing the meaning of the word "classical." A rich person who listens to modernist composers like Boulez or Webern is still listening to "classical" music, as most people use the term. Classical in this instance refers to a particular music tradition beginning in the renaissance, not to the Greco-Roman stuff you're trying to get at. It begins with the death of God, not ends with it.

Because in a post-truth world the person who controls wikipedia controls reality. Those fringe opinions can and do become true. Whether they are actually true in the past is irrelevant. If you can keep it on Wikipedia long enough people will act on it as if it were true.

Just look at what happened when wikipedia updated Pi to be 3.14159265358. Within weeks it started appearing in scientific papers. I'd bet good money that spaceX is using that number to launch spacecraft. Whether that is the true value of Pi is irrelevant. The wikipedia collective has decreed that that number and so it is now our scientific truth.
