Keep in mind that many (all?) smartphones are deliberately obsoleted within 2-3 years of release - as an example, my S5 (released 2014) only supports through Marshmallow (obsolete as of 2016). Any apps requiring Nougat or later are unavailable to me. Given that I personally use my phone for communication, browsing the web, reading, and note-taking (and occasionally SSH), this isn't a concern, but it might well be a deal-breaker for a Bose soundsystem, unless their apps happen to be backwards-compatible (though being IoT-connected would be enough to make me avoid it like the plague regardless).
Not the most popular view, but if after a referendum politicians can dither about for long enough to make things painful then say "Lets have a do over" whats the point of actually voting?

The whole thing just feels like an assault on democracy. The popular vote was to leave. If you put it to the people, then do what they ask. You can probably ask to join again later.

Was the vote done with imperfect information? Probably, but you can make that case for anything. Its the system we have and if you can do this I makes me feel like what I vote for has no real impact. I feel that this is why we have double jeopardy laws in trials.

NB I am Australian and have no real thoughts either way about brexit. I fully expect this to be down-voted into oblivion because this is such a button for most people.
I use functional programming as I've done my fair share of fixing stupid bugs at silly times in the morning and the resulting firefighting.

In my experience, I/teams I've worked on produce fewer bugs, FP, referential transparency, everything being an expression also helps for easier automated testing.

It took me a lot of persistence, effort and time to get comfortable with FP after years of imperative and oop programming, I might of even be heard to say "that's too academic, you can't use that in real life" only a few years later to realize how wrong I was!

For the most part as an employee, it's limited me as few employers care about such standards/quality and just want easy to hire/most popular, it's good enough let's move fast and break things. At one time I'd happily write idiomatic Java, Javascript, PHP, etc as done so for 10 years+, now I sit poking fingers in my eyes when I have to touch them.

As an employer or when I've been on the recruiting side for my employer, generally, the talent pool has been a lot smaller, extremely smaller however people that have applied have generally been at a higher skill level.

I wonder if it would be useful to have a mission control style setup that could be used in an emergency. So the pilot has a problem, the plane broadcasts data, humans analyse the problem, and then give advice to the pilot. The staff would specialise in an aircraft type, and do regular simulated training.

German Wikipedia Blocked to Protest Against §13 (Copyright Directive)
Translated from German:

THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE. HELP US TO MODERNIZE COPYRIGHT IN EUROPE.

Dear visitor,

why can not you use wikipedia as usual? The authors of Wikipedia have decided to turn off Wikipedia today in protest against parts of the planned EU copyright reform. This law is due to be passed by the European Parliament on 27th March.

The proposed reform could severely restrict the free Internet. Even the smallest internet platforms would have to preemptively prevent copyright infringement of their users (Article 13 of the planned law), which in practice would only be possible by means of error-prone and abuse-prone upload filters. In addition, all web pages for short text extracts from press products would have to acquire licenses in order to comply with a new publisher right (Article 11). Both together could significantly affect the freedom of opinion, art and the press.

Although at least Wikipedia is explicitly exempt from Article 13 of the new Copyright Directive (but not Article 11), Free Knowledge will suffer even if Wikipedia remains an oasis in the filtered desert of the Internet.

Around five million people protest in a petition, 145 civil rights and human rights organizations, business and IT associations (including Bitkom, the German start-up association or the Chaos Computer Club), Internet against the reform in its current version Pioneers such as Tim Berners-Lee, journalists' associations and creatives.

We therefore request that you contact the Members of the European Parliament and inform them of your position on the planned reform.

Thank you.

If you eliminate p-value then you can't have authors that search for anything with p<0.05 and then publish, there will simply have to be some other justification. If p-value is gone it will have to be replaced with something and that something, the supposition is, will result in better science.

Writing a paper, you need to support your conclusion, removing p-value doesn't remove that need for support, it will just find something different, hopefully better.
I'm in a low-cost area too, so theoretical I just need to make a couple of thousand dollars a month to make ends meet. That's not as easy as it sounds, for me at least.

You'll probably love to read this interview

https://www.infoq.com/interviews/johnson-armstrong-oop

I quote from the first answer of Armstrong (Erlang)

> The 3 things that object oriented programming has it's messaging, which is possibly the most important thing. The next thing is isolation and that's what I talked about earlier, that my program shouldn't crash your program, if the 2 things are isolated, then any mistakes I make in my program will not crash your program. [...]

> The third thing you want is polymorphism. Polymorphism is especially regarding messaging, that's just there for the programmer's convenience. It's very nice to have for all objects or all processes or whatever you call them, to have a printMe method - "Go print yourself" and then they print themselves. [...]

> Erlang has got all these things. It's got isolation, it's got polymorphism and it's got pure messaging. From that point of view, we might say it's the only object oriented language [...]

By not crashing the other program he means two programs running inside the same VM. There can be many programs running inside the same BEAM (Erlang's VM) and they can be kept isolated via different supervisors. It's the normal state of that system. Example: what in other languages is a library to make HTTP calls in Erlang (or Elixir) is a separate process that receives messages with the arguments of the calls.
So what I see here is a very impressive, hand built tab completion system for a specific task. Makes lots of things much faster. Now all you need to do is speed it up some more by using less keystrokes and a stenotype machine.

But really the takeaway is the auto-completion. Incredibly useful.

It's really not. Not for the operator / law enforcement anyway. 1. Ask operator where that call came from. 2. If it's another operator, go back to 1. 3. You got the end user.

They already have to have accounting/audit for billing purposes anyway.
I don't understand how, though? Is this a feature in normal Redis that's been available for highly parallel machines or has AWS forked Redis as well?
> The solution to the external links issue is a one-liner.

It is most definitely not a one-liner.

> Making the page scroll to the top when navigating to a new page is trivial.

So do it for me. There’s no reason a routing library should break default behavior.

> That's exactly what it's supposed to do. It's a client side routing solution. (I'm also pretty sure that it doesn't remount)

Then it’s “supposed” to have inconsistent behavior. Navigating anywhere else in my site will call constructors to all my components. Navigating to the same page won’t.

> From the issues that you've had with the library, it seems like client side routing is not actually what you're looking for.

My site was a music site. I wanted clientside routing so I could keep music playing while you navigated between links. Seemed like a slam dunk for clientside routing to me.

> may I ask what the alternative would be?

Quite honestly I would go onto GitHub and look for any routing solution that didn’t have multiple closed unfixed issues with hundreds of thumbs up.
> Article 13 is terrible not because it’s terrible for start-ups, it’s terrible because it’s terrible for people.

the two aren't mutually exclusive and Europe is right now in a deep growth slump also caused by middle class not moving into entrepreneurship due all the red tape and inefficiencies around having to deal with the particularities of every European state, with the EU aggregating without unifying a mess of regional particularities (i.e. vatmoss)

we desperately need the EU to cater both to the individual and the small business interests working out the kinks of the common market.
"I con't" made me wonder
Agreed. So we have this problem that can only be resolved by taking notes with a pen before typing them up. This has the nice opportunity of reviewing them whilst typing, and puts pressure on you to ensure understanding when making notes.

Posted this because I started exploring Asciidoc recently as a medium for documentation. Here’s a link for the last time this was posted:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11292280

Markdown is incredible and probably the best tool for writing simple documentation. I started using asciidoc recently due to its native support for table of contents, links and the excellent support for tables. Was inspired by Ciro Santilli’s use of asciidoc for his documentation projects. Ultimately tools are tools and nothing is perfect, but hope that this might also inspire people to increase their documentation game.
Note that there are already journals that effectively do this (it is very hard to get a p-value put into the journal Epidemiology for example) and as far as I can tell, there are few if any negative repercussions evident.
> I understand that A13 looks a bit like an anti-meme effort but it isn't because that is generally covered by parody or reasonable use regulations.

That's exactly the problem. Stuff of that is protected, and with good reason. But upload filter that would be mandated by article 13 can't detect that fair use. By enforcing them for all platforms like Youtube all of this will vanish from the european internet.
Most arguments used in this discussion are much better exposed in the book

This title is missleading the linked page and the blog with metrics on this say nothing about multhreading and instead focus on network IO performance.

From the blog "Today, we are announcing dynamic network processing to improve I/O request processing within Amazon ElastiCache for Redis 5.0.3"
> the people most vocal against Article 13 are those who want to leech other people's creations for free.

Why would such people be at all concerned about Article 13? Torrent sites and swarms have been in flagrant disregard of the law since forever, one more law isn't going to change much. Likewise the other popular pirate mechanism, the old "upload an archive with the content to Mega or similar" technique, already frequently uses encrypted archives to make sure only people coming through the right channel (often an ad laden website + several even more ad laden URL shorteners) get access to the content, making a filter requirement ineffectual there as well.
'Nobody wants to get mired in a long debate about possible confounding variables and statistical power in every paper they publish.'

This is literally every paper I publish.

Also, tightening the p-value criterion has problems of its own - as mentioned, it boosts the false negative rate, which is not a consequence free act. In the work I do, it's also a largely arbitrary threshold I can meet if I give the computer enough time.
The popular vote was to leave by a very narrow margin. But the vote was in no way binding. It’s also in hindsight been run against a background of law breaking and outright disinformation from the Leave campaign. Further public opinion has changed and it’s doubtful if a second more informed referendum would confirm the first.

I can’t think of a truer assault on democracy than to ask a vague question once, accept one side won under dodgy circumstances by a small margin then treat it as license to drive the country off the edge of a cliff.
> if your startup can't comply with that

most startups can and will. but it basically adds up the requirement of lawyering up to every startup that wants to operate here de facto annihilating the possibility for single man operations to bootstrap an idea cashless.
We already see this happening in the clinical literature though. Effect estimates that show a positive clinical outcome, but have confidence intervals that barely brush the null are described as having "no impact".
How about free decentralised and self-policing - opinions are fine but creating a place where illegal activity can’t be stopped will lead to any platform (even with good intentions) being marginalised.
Yep it should have stayed straight HTML + CSS, leaving all the rest for Internet protocols, but here we are.
Redis is single threaded, there are a few forks available making it multi threaded but those never gained much traction.

> That was also the first place where I had 'not possible to be any fresher' sushi - orders were placed at the fish tanks on the first floor, restaurant was upstairs.

You really don't want "fresh" sushi. Freshly-caught raw fish has all sorts of parasites and bacteria in it, which is why almost all sashimi-grade fish is flash-frozen to kill the parasites.

In addition, like most things, sashimi tastes better with age -- which is why most sushi restaurants will dry-age their fish (which also ends up tenderising it).

Freshly caught fish can be quite tough, because the muscles go into rigor mortis. Usually fish is kept for a few days before it's ready to eat. I agree with the other commenter which said the fish tanks where there to be misleading.

> I left the Xbox team long before the Xbox One shipped and I haven’t paid any attention to it since then, so I don’t know what they decided to do.

From experience trying to play 360 games on an Xbox One, the console reads nothing from the DVD and instead downloads the game from the Internet. It also only works for specific games. I therefore assume they gave up with emulation and simply recompiled certain 360 games for x64.

Why upgrade?
As far as I know, a correct emulation of FMA involves the double-double approach [1], that is to split a logical mantissa potentially larger than the native mantissa and merge them later. This is of course expensive and probably not a good fit for the OP's purpose anyway.

Because what the country was advertised was a bunch of lies.

Many Businesses have left the UK, they won't be returning.

Pro Brexit people like the founder of Dyson have moved their HQ to Singapore after that country signed a trade deal with the EU.

Rees Mogg, a hardliner MP for Brexit, moved his investment firm to Ireland.

Clearly these rich people are doing what the average person in the UK can't.

The country isn't a democracy, politicians are elected to make decisions for their constituents.
The vote wasn't binding as well.

The romanticism around democracy and the vote seems a bit silly. What if a country had voted to go to war and was losing it terribly.
To surrender would be against the will of the people, so they may as well continue until the end.
Any decentralized system that is more efficient if centralized, eventually gets centralized by efficiencies of scale.

Email is federated, but everyone running and managing their own email servers is too costly, so for consumers, it migrated to large sites. Web sites were federated, but everyone being web master for their homepage was too difficult, so we get GeoCities, and Yahoo Clubs, and later, Squarespace and Wix, etc. Then blogs were decentralized, but everyone self hosting and authoring blogs was too much, so then we get Wordpress.com and Tumblr, and Twitter, and FB, etc. (even USENET eventually developed super-large hubs like uunet)

For a federated, decentralized system to work and resist centralization, it has to be the case that running a node is dead simple, cheap, and out-of-sight/out-of-mind. It also can't be the case that hosting on a more powerful cluster, colocated with other nodes, gives you large benefits or cost advantages, otherwise, it'll just get centralized again.

Even cryptocurrencies fail this. They have terrible efficiency, but at least they were supposed to be relatively flat, instead of centralized and hierarchical, but instead, a majority of the hashing power is owned by a few large entities, so in effect, back to large financial players controlling much of the power.

I think one day we'll discover some ways to decentralize things in ways that resist re-centralization, but in the mean time, beliefs that you'll achieve cyber/crypto-anarchy by clever protocol design and the federales won't be able to rubber-hose-cryptanalyze you, is a dangerous belief that diverts us away from demanding the government and society agree to the goals of freedom. If everyone wants unfreedom, underground internet usage is a slim consolation.
