What Unicode calls the “Unicode line breaking algorithm” (http://unicode.org/reports/tr14/ see “LB1” to “LB31”) is a method of determining “break opportunities”, the places where it is allowed to break a line of Unicode text. What the Knuth-Plass paper (http://www.eprg.org/G53DOC/pdfs/knuth-plass-breaking.pdf) is about is a method of determining, given a paragraph along with its “break opportunities”, a partition of the paragraph into lines such that (a certain function of) the stretching/shrinking of spaces on the lines is minimized.

So yes they can be used together. In fact the Unicode TeX engines like XeTeX and LuaTeX do so (I don't know how well they follow the Unicode specification intrinsically versus with the support of language-specific packages, but they seem to do the job).
The same can be said about heterosexual sex. How do you know people are “attracted to the opposite sex” when they really just “have sex with the opposite sex.”
Speaking from startup perspective.

While there are a hand full of exceptions. IMHO the dedicated role of a product manager is exceptionally counter productive.

Unless they are a founder they tend to lack technical expertise of capable enginners and enginnering managers as well as have a disconnect from the core drivers of what can make the buisness sucessful.

Maybe I have just had bad luck but in my 12 years of experiance with 6+ startups it's either the founders or buisness competent technical leaders who have driven a company and its products to suceed. "Formal" product managers I have come to associate with elements that kill startups... things like kingdom building, playing politics, information withholding, setting timelines and expectations without any real clue what it really takes.

We need buisness competent enginners, systems to feed feedback from sales and customer service to product enginner teams and engineering leaders who can communicate with other departments and understand buisness goals that they must build towards.

What is not needed a role who does not know sales, customer service, marketing ,or enginnering who puts systems in place to seperated thoes units for their own personal benafit.

Yes, the Unicode line breaking algorithm tells you how to compute where breaks are permitted. But it’s up to you to choose which breaks to actually use.

What’s tricky is actually OpenType, because the length of a “word” can vary in complex ways depending on whether or not it is broken - much more complex than simple hyphens.
Gotta love it when engineers fail to see the value in People people, then when their startup dies they blame their tech stack and users. Unless the engineers are willing and able to competently wear that hat and can manage their time well enough to still ship, product market fit just won’t happen.
Does that loophole still exist where you can transfer the property to an LLC and then sell the LLC without triggering a tax assessment?
I would like to know why the photo was taken that way and why it was used in the article.
The last Axiom update was just this week (March 21, 2019). In general, Axiom is updated about once a month.

The current Axiom effort is directed toward proving the algorithms. The research combines computer algebra with proof theory. A survey done last year shows that there is almost no overlap between these two fields of computational mathematics.

Computer algebra IS mathematics. The present state of the art is "works-for-my-case" implementations. That is fine for the short term but Axiom focuses on the "30 Year Horizon". Early computer algebra systems did integration "by heuristics". Systems like Axiom use the Risch algorithm.

The next generation systems should use proven algorithms. At this time this is still an open research area. Axiom was originally a research platform (at IBM Research) and, as open source, still retains its research focus. Research takes time.

This is a difficult research problem. Not everyone agrees it can or should be done. "Works-for-my-case" implementation is easier.

Axiom and Fricas are not in competition. We simply have different goals. The Fricas people are doing excellent work. I would encourage you to try the software.

> LED streetlights put out more more lumens per watt, but the quality is terrible. My brother's neighborhood has been LED-ified, and now has a terrible night experience.

They did this to my street about a year or two ago. It was (and still is) horrible.

I take my dog on a walk every night. Suddenly, on one of these trips, I walked out my front door and into a horrible blue-white neighborhood. It looked like a car dealership out there. Not only too bright, but also blinding because they didn't put any kind of shroud over the bulbs.

I'm acclimated to it now, but I really wish they had done some better design on these retrofits. I may not get the comforting sodium yellow back, but there's no reason to crank them up and spread the light into pedestrians' and drivers' eyes.
Yeah. Removing this character when copying to the clipboard is definitely the right thing to do. Have you filed a bug?
Anecdotally, having talked to several ex-Texas-teachers, Texas sounds extremely hostile to primary education. Texas was a pioneer of the intense focus on high-stakes standardized tests and elimination of teacher autonomy.

What about words that the browser doesn't know about? While automatic hyphenation point insertion is convenient, I want to retain the ability to provide manual overrides.
I see. I hadn't thought of that particular comic (which I have printed out and posted on my office door) from exactly that angle; I always thought of it as pointing out the extensibility of Emacs (and the willingness of people to extend it).
I drove to the office 5 days last year. My bicycle is my primary form of transportation and I have to say, it’s a wonderful way to live.

I doubt the US or local states/cities will properly implement bicycle infrastructure anytime soon. Imaginative or not there’s just too much money to be made by having everyone purchase cars.
I've noticed prices between hotels and Airbnb are closer. I think part of this is cities have caught on and are either charging fees (like SF) or are enforcing more regulations, which limits supply.

In the past (2014/2015), AirBNBs were generally 30% cheaper than hotels and provided better amenities (like a kitchen).
As far as I know, the only cities full of apartments that prohibit short-term rentals are high CoL cities in the US and perhaps some parts of Europe. I've travelled all around the US, Latin America, Africa, and Asia without issue.
> Politics is so heavily polarized that 'I assume they will assume'. [...] Intersectional issues (race/gender/class), some things about China, obviously religion - they're all so loaded it's hard to have a discussion

Agreed...

That said, there are people who are happy to have an open discussion without judging everything on the basis of "friend" / "enemy". I wonder if there's a forum, online or offline, where ideas are shared and discussed in good faith.
It's "the right thing" in the same way that reporting someone to police for smoking weed "is the right thing".

In other words: no.
The bans will, for the most part, be useless, as most gun bans based on features usually are. To see why, look up e.g. "MARS action rifle", or "lever release AR-15".

At the same time, countries that don't bother with stuff like that, but instead regulate who can own firearms much more stringently than US does - e.g. Czech Republic - are doing fine.
I prefer PHP as a whore.

Because we all abuse it, and is damn easy to make it work.

But at the end, we all feel dirty for using php.
Is that a typo in your first sentence? Saying the government is NOT directing an action, when it's a government agency makes no sense. It would be like me saying the US government doesn't have any control over boeing's planes because that's the FAA's job.

And the government is literally arresting people for distributing the video.

I'm really struggling to see how this could be construed as a non-government action.
> put anyone they like, including American citizens in jail without trial or normal legal process, sometimes for years.

So in a country of ~330 million, with 32 million flights every year across the US, would you mind listing the total number of times that actually happens? Where people are detained for years with no due process by that 60,000 force. If something happens a few times per year at that scale, while being shameful non-the-less, it's a freak outlier in fact and is not a legitimate example of common outcomes to support your comment.
completely agree, this would have been much nicer if it was simpler.

The scrolling and transitions makes it kinda impossible to follow through for me too.
Oh they get it, they’re just looking out for themselves. Property owners account for 72% of the voting block and have strong roots in the community where renters tend to be more transient [1]. In America, as a property owner, your home is probably your largest investment. The perception here for better or worse is that more housing means less demand for yours, so you lose money.
It’s like wondering why the foxes don’t vote for razor wire around the chicken coops. Not in a malicious way, it’s just not in their interests.

The corollary is that the people pushing for vertical building and high density housing, while dressing the issue up as being about the homeless, are also looking out for their best interests. They want a better place to live, where they want to live, where they can make 6-figure salaries in the sun. It’s important to realize that this isn’t a matter of chickens and foxes, and there’s a reason why the focus is inevitably in areas where they can earn the most and where they would like to live.

The truth is that every aspect of this debate is shrouded in hypocrisy, because otherwise it boils down to people wanting massive new infrastructure to support their desires, or people supporting a deeply imperfect status quo because they’re already winners in it. One side justifies their desire for a slice of the pie by looking to trickle-down economics for housing, clsiming that they care about the less fortunate. The claims that the techies making their property even more valuable through demand are a plague of locust ruining their fair cities. Both are more or less full of it.
> Of course this also means that we have trade offs. We don't support fully international text like pretty much every other application will. RTL? No go zone right now. Surrogate pairs and emoji? We're getting there but not there yet. Indic scripts? Nope.

These seem like pretty major things to trade away, especially for something that's as widely used around the world as Windows.
> A modern floor plate is up to 40m usable depth. A historic floor plate 8-10m usable depth, and only half of that with a window.

Sorry, you'll have to explain more. Why is a historic floor plate smaller? And why does a window on the facade make it smaller still? How does the facade affect the floor plate?

Because for the government to have an effect on the housing supply, they need to find a way to lower the price. At best homeowners risk losing their equity, at worse they become upside down and are subidizing the new construction with their own martgage losses.
>You can hate on whoever you like, but you can't grab a megaphone, head down to the mall, and encourage other people to hate the same people that you do. I don't know about you, but that seems like a pretty benign restriction to me...

Where do you draw the line? All of the items in this list (going from least inflammatory to most) could possibly be construed as causing "racial disharmony":

"We shouldn't give special benefits to [minority group] (eg. affirmative action)"

"[minority group] commit x% more crime than the rest of the population" (factual)

"I personally don't like [minority group]"

"We should enact legislation that specifically penalize [minority group]"

"I wish [minority group] would die/get hurt"

"We need to kill/hurt [minority group]"

"Let's go kill/hurt [minority group]"

For reference, the US criteria is somewhere between the last two (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_and_present_danger).
I don't know what you mean by "act of parliament". This video should most definitely be watched in order to understand this event in full. No description of what happened can impart upon you the brutality of watching him go back in to double tap the victims. There is a severe lack of understanding of the impact of our actions when we choose to censor events like this.

&shy; support has been around for at least a decade and it can be done server side with any logic.

It's probably not needed today but when I first used it the logic was along the lines of adding it at the 5th 7th 9th characters provided there were at least 4 more characters after each &shy; or some such while being wary of hanging the last word etc.

It's a soft hyphen meaning the browser will break if needed otherwise ignore it. It's an HTML feature rather than a CSS one which also has implications.
Well, your Bill of Rights is just a law passed by the Parliament. As such, it can be repealed by the Parliament, if and when they feel like it. This is your parliamentary sovereignty system at work.

Ask HN: Why not static and dynamic typing?
As I have been exploring languages lately, it seems that a lot of drawbacks for amazing languages come down to the being dynamically or statically typed.

I’m not very knowledgeable about compilers and language design, so I wonder: Why can’t a mainstream language be designed to let the programmer choose which?

That is, what low level limitation prevents language designers from giving the programmers choice here?

Drivers tend to see cyclists as intruders, and fail to give them the space and respect that they give other “legitimate” vehicles. The bike lobby exists to combat this. Things like Critical Mass rides, signage, and road paint are all about changing driver psychology and raising awareness about a cyclist’s right to occupy the travel lane. If you’re going around saying car and cycle traffic should not mix, you are its avowed enemy, same as the SUV drivers shouting at bikes to get out of the way.

Even very serious and activist cyclists around here are still most likely seasonal/recreational riders, and still want to use their cars, at least in the winter. (See “share the road” bumper stickers). They are not necessarily wild about reducing vehicle access.
Is there any data on whether hyphenation actually improves reading speed? My hunch is that the problem it mostly solves is packing a greater number of words on a fewer number of printed pages, thus saving the printer money.

But my impression as a reader is that I stumble over hyphenated words much more often than I am distracted by a particularly ragged right edge or a big river in a justified paragraph.
Rails has so much metaprogramming that static typing isn't really going to get you very far. Type checkers and linters won't know what the hell is going on.
I think one of the core reasons they don't want people to read it is that in the aftermath they're doing everything he wanted and more.
> which skill's are needed to be a Full-Stack Developer ? I don't ask about which languages or frameworks, but eg: - Backend, Frontend, Devops, DBA Something missing for you ? To much ?

I'm a little confused about what you are asking...

What I look for in resumes are:

1. Do they have any projects I can review (preferably open source and on github)

2. What frameworks are they familiar with

3. How much experience (often signaled by the frameworks)

4. Do they have experience managing databases, cloud infrastructure, front end, etc. Also, usually signaled by the frameworks
Edit: any explanation for the downvote? Maybe the list was overkill, but I was responding to someone who accused another of being 'disingenuous, ignorant, or lazy', then presented very weak evidence for a claim that was supposed to be so obvious that questioning it justified those insults. (Basically no evidence at all, since it had nothing to do with New Zealand, the country which this discussion was specifically about)

Original:

When I looked at the top 20 results, they didn't back up your point very well. (I didn't do any cherrypicking -- I don't know what the 21st result was. If I wanted to be sneaky I would have only presented the first 10.)

I counted four people actually making that claim (one of whom qualified it with 'sometimes', but generalised it with 'all'). None of the four seemed to be from New Zealand.

The rest were mostly complaints about other people who supposedly think or say white people are evil. Some were definitely right-wing extremists.

The full list was:

- 'sometimes all white people are evil'

- complaint about white people being blamed for things and called evil

- anti-semite complaining about a Jewish man calling himself white

- someone saying "not all white people are evil, judge people by their character not their skin color"

- white supremacist

- person complaining about white people being called evil

- 'There’s still evil white people in the world, and we all know about the history between us and them, but y’all need to stop acting like EVERY white person is evil bruh. The people that do are a part of the problem too.'

- 'While Candace Owens can't believe this she is letting white conservatives at #CPAC believe this is true. This emboldens their view that the real victim of racism in America is white people. These words by Owens are beyond irresponsible-they are truly evil. '

- someone disagreeing with the view that 'Hitler is only considered to be evil because he killed white people'

- anti-semite

- person complaining about 'assholes ranting about how white people are evil'

- description of Jordan Peele's movie as 'the white people are evil movie'

- person saying it unironically

- person saying it unironically

- person complainiing about people who think that Democrats 'hate "white" people'

- complaint about people who say white people are evil

- ALL CAPS POST COMPLAINING ABOUT RACISM AGAINST WHITES

- 'These fucks here and people like these give white people a horrible rep. Can’t generalize a whole race like that tho.'

- person saying it unironically

- ' seeing conventionally attractive white people having excuses made for their evil actions is irritating AF'
My general feeling is that the smoother the story, the more it is fake. If someone comes off exacerbated, blending the chronologically and details of the story, it is most likely true; extreme situations lead to extreme behavior. Now, when the story is smooth, it’s like a well trained actor orating a theater. The reason it’s so convincing is because the fraudster has had practice.

Node.js scalability problems and how to solve them
Artsy is a great example since their code is open source https://github.com/artsy/emission. Facebook does use relay in a lot of products. I’ve also seen a talk about how airbnb uses Apollo in a similar way as relay and collocate fragments with components.

If I take the example in your article I think this model solves the problem nicely. Let’s say you want to include a cart component that was created by a completely different team, in another part of the app, all you have to do is to add the fragment to the query that already exist in your screen and everything just works thanks to composition.

Then when someone adds features to the cart and for example fetch the full list of items then all screens that render that cart component will have their query update accordingly since they include the cart fragment.
> I take my dog on a walk every night. Suddenly, on one of these trips, I walked out my front door and into a horrible blue-white neighborhood

That reminds me... Almost 2 years ago I responded to HN user jacobolus' comment on bad LED lights, which also included his strategy for dealing with LED streetlights while walking his dog:

"[...] After San Francisco installed some awful LED lamps on my street, I’ve taken to wearing orange safety glasses when I walk my dog, and if I had to drive with any regularity I would consider wearing orange glasses to drive at night. [...]" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14170344

I got some orange safety glasses, but they cut out too much light to be safe while driving (easy to miss pedestrians). I eventually found some yellow glasses that cut out enough blue to eliminate the shock of sudden exposure.
I've never had these kind of issues.

The article I'm waiting for is how everyone leaves each other good reviews even though some shit went down.

It's kind of a code.
It's more literally "just one sensor" than you say, I think. MCAS doesn't average or anything: it just picks one sensor at a time arbitrarily and uses it. (This will change in next month's software fix.)

(2) sounds like it could be airworthy, but I think Boeing might instead find that it has to add that third sensor. Airbus has three, and any rationale that Boeing only needs two because the disagreement consequences are not severe seems atop quicksand at this point.
Hacked, in this case would mean that the violence was designed to drive traffic towards the manifesto, which would have otherwise vanished into obscurity. But I take your point regarding censorship.
I think Airbus will disable the autopilot in case of AoA sensor failure, which is why it has three of them instead of two.
These changes seem like common sense and don't require a lot of retraining. The big question is why Boeing didn't see the need to do this in the first place. It's not yet possible to rule out simple oversight.
