I would retitle this to "A script to move links on HN to paywalled sites to the bottom"

I would also suggest maybe just highlighting them in some way, because while for you the paywall might be undesirable, to paying subscribers, or even curious readers who just want to peruse the comments, it would be nice to know the site is paywalled first, but still that it is a high ranking item.
If my computer had killed hundreds of people, yes, I would throw it out, even if the manufacturer promised to fix it.
No, you don't have to buy an ORCA card. You can buy a paper ticket for the exact fare at a ticket vending machine, which are available at every Link station.
> "not supported" can mean anything from "physically impossible" to "we don't want you to"

More like:

from "physically impossible" to "we haven't tested that"

> they just couldn't be bothered to document all the possible combinations

Each combination adds exponential testing and documentation requirements.

Not tested != doesn't work. But that doesn't make not supporting it malicious. There are practical and financial cost to testing every combination, ultimately born by the consumer.
Depending on your aim, smarter people probably don't spend time bogging others down, and instead probably fall closer to the teach a man to fish side of things.
>There's a built in longevity to the game that there isn't in e-gaming.

Tetris came out 35 years ago and they're still holding world tournaments for it. Not to say that modern modern e-sports are the same as Tetris, but there doesn't seem to me any reason why LoL would be less likely to be around in 20 years than boxing.
It is notable that in prior episodes with Japan the accusations were never made.
No. Aside from this one issue, the plane is likely as safe or safer than every previous 737. With this much public attention, this issue will get resolved and then some. The end result will likely be the safest plane in the air.
Which is funny because I've had an instance go down. I don't have ridiculously high volume, or distributed:

-One instance
-No changes to the config
-I'm the only person with access
-No major outages at the time

It went down, and the AWS monitor didn't actually see it go down until 45 minutes later, which it needs to be down for a certain amount of time before their techs will take a look.

It was my first time using AWS, and I didn't want to risk waiting for tech so I rebooted the instance and it started back up again. I have no idea why, but it failed with out reason, and on reboot worked like it always did.

My point is that AWS has been solid, but they are like anything else, there are tradeoff's in using their service, and they aren't perfect.
Founder Survey on Fundraising
Many politicians get more money/benefits/bribes from the corporations pushing those laws then from the salary paid by the citizens... that's the main problem.
I'm using a setup similar to the described one, though without SMTP or IMAP: a MUA is set to use `ssh <host> sendmail` instead of a local sendmail, and `doveadm sync sh -c ... "ssh <host> doveadm dsync-server"` for retrieval/synchronization. It's indeed nice and handy.

Edit: My setup with mu4e is described in more detail at https://defanor.uberspace.net/notes/email.xhtml
The main fault I see is how do we augment your "facts" with other "facts".

For instance, I clicked on Net Neutrality. It's tough to truly appreciate the "net neutrality" dynamic of the past few years without understanding the backstory of Reed Hastings battling the ILECs (https://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Netflix-CEO-Comcast-Want...), buddying up to Obama (https://www.businessinsider.com/house-of-cards-obama-2013-12), getting the law changed in his favor (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/13/technology/fcc-releases-n...), and now rewarding Obama in kind: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/21/us/politics/barack-obama-....

It's almost as if it had nothing to with actual "net neutrality" at all since none of the horrible things have come to pass that were predicted.

Broadband isn't as good as it could or should be, but it isn't getting worse.

You think only Google needs to protect against data loss?

We have a process that reads a lot of data from the database on a periodic basis and sends it to ElasticSearch. We would either have to spend more and overprovision it to handle peak load or we can just turn on autoscaling for read replicas. Since the read replicas use the same storage as the reader/writer it’s much faster.

Yes we need “bulletproof” and scalability or our clients we have six and seven figure contracts with won’t be happy and will be up in arms.
Somebody is going to make a lot of money selling routers preconfigured for specific smart TV's to block out certain ip addresses to stop all this infuriating ad crap.
It seems to me that if they limited their recommendations to only things the entire board could agree on, they could still be productive.

For example, they may not agree on how bathrooms should be organized, but they probably all agree that bathrooms should exist.

The fact that the board had wildly varying opinions is a feature, not a bug. The outputs of this board should be widely agreed upon. If they make declarations that half the country disagrees with, they're going to lose credibility fast. Having an ideologically diverse board helps to secure their credibility.
Talk about a strawman, mate.

I had an email about an iPod Nano. More than happy to talk to Apple about it, but when I emailed them in 2010 about the scheme my friend was running, I never heard anything back.
I like that they have a technical paper on how to format your data for epistemic analysis:

> This feature does enable a neat quine: the Perl program “Illegal division by zero at /tmp/quine.pl line 1.”, when saved in the appropriate location, outputs “Illegal division by zero at /tmp/quine.pl line 1.” The reason for this behavior is left as an exercise for the reader.

For quines, see the chapter "Air on G's String", a dialogue between Achilles and the Tortoise in Douglas Hofstadter's book GODEL,ESCHER,BACH: AN ETERNAL GOLDEN BRAID.
Yeah, more like “great”, but with a sarcastic tone to it.
I love the little avatar they have for the site. Little touches like thatare really underrated.
Now that's something else! How delightful. Drawn from the Wayback Machine perhaps?
Great book. Much better than CLRS for learning. Coming from a math background, this book made learning algorithms easy for me.
We process up to 15 million events per second on a $15K HP server.
There is a niche market for vintage gaming machines, I wouldn't be surprised if you could sell them for a few hundred each.
Pretty sure this puts a strain on the relationship between Costco and Apple on some level. It’s also just a dick thing to do.
No, we are not Google. We do need to be able to handle spiky loads - see the other reply. No we don’t “need a team” to support.

Yes “the people in the know” are at AWS. They handle failover, autoscaling, etc.

We also use Serverless Aurora/MySQL for non production environments with production like size of data. When we don’t need to access the database, we only pay for storage. When we do need it, it’s there.
Syncthing is a great free tool. So is FreeNAS.

Definitely not for mainstream users though.
Doesn't mean they literally hand-code every HTML file on the site. That would be highly unlikely since you'd have to change every file any time you update, say, the navbar.

C# was great in 2008, then it got kind of enterprisey and closed - not it's ridiculous and getting steam into all avenues of software engineering. It's arguably the most powerful language in the world.
What behavior can’t be deduplicated, if deduplication is defined as: first call executes, subsequent calls noop?

I don’t see why idempotent functions couldn’t also be deduplicated

In which case, we’re really just back to “idempotent” and “not idempotent” (knowing that you can turn any operation idempotent, by using this one trick..!)

"power factor"(that's actually a gun game term as I recall, I've never heard a SEAL/Ranger/Marine or infantryman use it) has nothing to do with terminal ballistics, weight of ammunition an infantryman has to carry, or performance of the weapons.

The AR-10 is notoriously finnicky and there is zero logistics train to support it anywhere in the world as it's not an issue weapon anywhere in the world, the M14 platform is far heavier than the M4 and has a variety of problems that were solved by the M16/M4, etc. etc. etc.

People have been saying this since the Gen 1 roadster came out in 2008. Where are these cars from the auto incumbents at? More EV's the better but they are nowhere to be found.
No, it wasn’t me.
This was really interesting! I like your writing style.
I don't have nginx installed (got the number from a web download of the .deb package), but running this for apache:

$ echo $((`ldd /usr/sbin/apache2 | cut -d">" -f 2 | sed "s/(.*$//;s/ //" | xargs du -L | cut -f 1 | sed "s/$/+/" | xargs echo` 0))

3200

So 3.2 MB of shared library dependencies. 1.8 MB just being the libc which is almost guaranteed to be used by a different program already.
...and it probably already has, multiple times, but you haven't noticed because you've not used that much RAM.

The BIOS does a (relatively) quick memory check in the POST to detect how much memory is actually available, basically by writing a series of patterns to all addresses and then reading them back to confirm; some desktops have a "fast boot" option which mostly skips it (I believe it's something like testing one byte per 4KB instead of every byte), and servers usually have a much more thorough test that can take many minutes.

The best way to check whether the memory is functional when 16GB is detected is to run a memory tester like MemTest86.
No, it’s not just the bandwidth. It’s also the CPU for read and writes in the case of Serverless Aurora.

For regular autoscaling of read replicas. It brings additional servers on line using the same storage array. It isn’t just “one database”.

That’s just it. There isn’t “just one database”.
Yes, you're right about StarCraft and as a former competitive speedcuber I can tell you they practice like hell too.
That's right. git stores all of the data that could be on the server on your local machine. Every clone of a git repository contains the full history of that repo. git send-email allows you to send commits to other people over email.
It’s crazy how fast stuff moved back then. Voodoo 1, to Voodoo 2 (both hits) to Voodoo 3 (meh), to Voodoo 4/5 (debacle), to bankruptcy was less than 4 years. In the same timeframe, we went from a 200 MHz Pentium MMX to a 1 GHz Pentium 3.

What’s happened since 2015, by contrast? Many people still swear by their 2015 MBPs, the last model before the touchbar debacle. That Haswell based machine was getting long in the tooth even back then.
Black box high five for the win, amirite?! Roll it back up to the top of the hill and lets see if it records something different...

So what “problems” were you unable to fix with AWS?
I think this article is saying:

- 1st order thinkers primarily see causes and *direct* effects.
- 2nd order thinkers frequently see causes and their *indirect* effects.

I guess that seems like a reasonable idea.

For what it's worth, the truly exceptional people I've met in life had a different quality.

* When most people are presented with a difficult/challenging problem, they soon give up.

* The most exceptional people that I've met just kept hammering away after the rest of us had stopped. Most of the time, they failed, but if you have some aptitude and you keep hammering, you have a better chance to make breakthroughs that the rest of us don't make.

Just as an example, I had worked for a company that used X-ray crystallography as a tool for drug-development. I would be in meetings with crystallographers where we discussed the technical problems they were having in trying to grow crystals. The crystallographers were all smart and talented, but when we had group meetings, there was only one guy who would float suggestion-after-suggestion-after-suggestion, long after everyone else had run out of ideas. I don't think he was any "smarter" than anyone else in the room, but he just could not shut himself off. He was relentless. He went on to make some important contributions to the field.
Affordable air travel is in most people's interests.
By the way, one way to describe idempotence is a function whose range is the fixed points of the function.

Fixed point is very close. Your idea here is that google_search_lucky(search_string), where search_string="google" returns itself. Which would be a fixed point.

The rub is that the function google_search_lucky(search_string) would in all likelihood return the URL of a website if it was to return a string (necessary for even the possibility of a fix point), so the proper fix point would be "https://www.google.com".

If I was trying to map this to mathematical ideas, I'd say the point here is that the function google_search(search_string, is_lucky) with the argument ("google", is_lucky= true) returns the _function_ google_search(search_string, is_lucky) . So it's more like the argument ("google", is_lucky= true) is an identity for the function google_search(search_string, is_lucky).
This is a grave lapse on Boeing's part. Saying "sorry" doesn't cut it. Someone needs to go to jail and Boeing shouldn't be allowed to sell any more planes until they demonstrate such software blunders will not happen.
My claim to fame is that the only Voodoo card I've ever owned was a Voodoo 5 6000.

I picked it up in the early 2000s during a pre-closure clearout at my then-employer, a UK video games developer. The sheer size of the thing made me LOL, that and the number of fans and the additional power connector. Then I noticed it was a 3dfx - oh, hey! I could play that Glide-based motorbike game, that I remembered enjoying at a friend's house a few years previously.

The game wasn't as good as I remembered. I threw the card away.
Right, because it's an apt analogy.

This is a hardware issue. Lack of redundancy in sensors. Lack of knobs to turn MCAS off without turning off the electric motors that are apparently necessary to control the plane in challenging circumstances (which a hardware failure can put you in).

It's also a training issue, especially with the first flight pilots not being informed about this system.

Maybe it can be worked around via software changes and human training. But the software appears to have done what it was supposed to.

Typically, diesels are built with maintenance in mind (at least for trucks, no idea what you'd find in a diesel car). The cylinders are sleaved and meant to be replaced every couple 100k miles or so, so the cylinders themselves also last a long time (the sleaves take the brunt of the wear). I think theyre typically less complex than a standard gasoline engine. E.g. they have no spark plugs (and thus no distributor or ignition system), instead glow plugs to start the engine. Possibly more complex in other areas, such as emissions control.

I'm no expert on engines, so the the above may not be entirely accurate or current. Most of my knowledge comes from working for a semi truck/diesel engine manufacturer as an IT intern close to two decades ago and touring factories.
The pilots didn't actually do that. They did not use electric stabilizer trim to "neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT" in fact the trim had been run markedly down by MCAS by the time they switched off the electric trim.

Rounding errors aside, you can still experience information loss when stepping time. Any observed state which could have resulted from more than one previous states (by the rules of your simulation) represents an irreversible transition.
The problem is all those other things are CALCULATED values off the AoA sensor.

Literally everything depends on a single tube which is known to get clogged with ice, bugs etc.

So for the 737 Max, a single clogged AoA sensor causes all these things immediately and simultaneously:

-- all your airspeed and altitude readouts go haywire, at least on one side of the cockpit

-- a bunch of alarms start going off and a bunch of lights start flashing, each indicating a different problem

-- your control stick starts shaking

-- a little-documented system immediately commands the nose straight down into the ground, and keeps commanding it until turned off (but turning it off effectively prevents you from counteracting the nose down command)

Good luck.

Aotearoa/New Zealand's Māori facial tattoos (moko) were pushed underground during the late 1800s and 1900s.
