Why would they be more reluctant to innovate? Couldn't it also be the opposite? For example, companies could spend more on R&D to stay ahead of the competition and lead the field instead of releasing copies of a product months or years later.
> That is the end result of government policy.

Everything is the result of government policy. Even if the government did absolutely nothing, it would be the result of a government policy not to intervene.
A nice paper deserves a nice summary! I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes, as Utah arrays have been around for ~25 years and haven’t changed much.
Perhaps try learning sufficiently different languages? For me it's hard to make cross-language mistakes except within the {} groups:

C, {all kinds of assembly}, {C++, Java, C#}, {Python, Ruby}, {Haskell, OCaml}, Prolog, {VHDL, Verilog}
Thanks for thr reply! That all makes sense. With the Mazda, I don't think anyone bothered to try to go as far as you did with the software because it was so easy to get wifi turned on, connect, and then let your device try short password after password (and at just three lowercase letters, the result came fast).

Given the reet of the work and your first point, it does seem like yours is the smart choice in this case. I was just surprised you didn't tey bruteforcing via ssh at first.

Thanks for the awesome article by the way! My Mazda got totalled last month, and I got a new 2019 Honda Fit I haven't gotten around to messing with yet. This gives some great ideas for how to proceed.
Is it an issue that training will be a different sorts of planes than graduates will fly or are the characteristics close enough?
People attribute genetics or hormones to difference between men and women when they can't find other reasons, and this comes from all side of the political spectrum. Violence and aggression is attributed to biological aspects of men, emotional instability and lack of "cold logic" in women. Risk taking and shorter life span in men, nurturing behavior in women.

It is regressive and the science used in support is spotty at best and more often poorly correlations with a massive dose of cultural bias.
Spanish and Portuguese seem to be unusually close. Studying one helps me with the other.

Portuguese and Japanese on the other hand...
Installation yes; installer no. To install VSCode on Debian, you would add the apt repository to your apt configuration, run apt update && apt upgrade, then apt install ______. On Windows, most software comes in the form of an installer instead of being installed with a system package manager.

The difference is whether you have to click through one of those wizard things to get the program you want.

Based on my personal experience, I'd say there are good "buckets" of language-context pairs and you can pick one from each according to taste.

C/C++/Rust/Ada on bare metal or systems work for building abstraction upwards from the hardware.

Clojure/Scheme/Common Lisp/Racket: A good dynamic language that's extremely composable, to build abstraction downward from human logic.

ML/F#/Haskell: Powerful type systems that can layer abstraction on abstraction.

I have no experience of the following, but I imagine at least cog and erlang belong to similarly mind-expanding buckets.
Can This Breakfast Cereal Help Save the Planet?
Page and Brin were PhD students, so very much not just there long enough to decide it's not worth it, as they had at least graduated from a bachelor's, and had likely been there for more than a year after. Bezos graduated from his bachelor's degree.

So really only Zuckerberg
Well, London and SF are historic and beautiful cities (at least architecturally). Part of the reason people WANT to live there is because they aren't full of skyscrapers and megacorporations.

In fact, one of the defining traits of San Francisco is that it disallows chain restaurants, walmarts, etc. It also has many parks. When I see a stone church that has stood for 200 years in a city, I think it's priceless.

If you don't, well there's plenty of cities that don't give a crap about aesthetics at all, and so they're cheap, and so they're full of poor people, and so they're full of crime.
I'd guess you're the kind of person who would pick up a murder mystery, read the first few pages to find out who was killed, the last few pages to find out who did it, then put it down and move on.

Sometimes value lies in the journey, not in the destination.

So you have an answer - one. Of what value is that? Not a lot.

Those who watch the video will potentially learn a lot more than a glib and useless answer to an apparently pointless question, and for those who work in a technical area, perhaps knowing a little more about topology will come in useful one day.
tangentially interesting that this article, from 2012, offers an argument against the now-dead TPP.

That there is common-people support for the US position at all feels truly crazy-town to me.

Those who support the US on this, should in principle also support extradition of blasphemers to Pakistan, or anti-government protesters to China, from anywhere in the world. If you disagree with that, I would love to hear your perspective: please do articulate a principle of extradition that would include Assange and exclude a blasphemer against Allah.

(Just, as a head-start hint, "I think Assange is a terrible person, therefore he should be extradited" is not a principled perspective.)

That the mainstream US media inexplicably supports the US government's position should alarm you. Yes, you, reading this. As above, I would love to hear an articulated principle that cleaves Wikileaks from the wider community of news media, that also does not allow for the arrest and prosecution of any of the journalists who actually covered what Wikileaks wrote.
Webapps shouldn't get a pass for being poorly written messes. Only a handful of applications have a good reason to be CPU-intensive.
I’m with you. How does the saying go? “All models are flawed, some models are useful.”

This survey obviously does not tap directly into the brains of every developer on the planet and extract their unbiased answers to the questions. But it’s still a useful model for seeing trends in the software industry.

Further, from my personal perspective, I’m pretty ok with the self-selected sampling bias inherent in the survey. The kinds of developers who see the value of Stackoverflow and are willing to participate voluntarily in the survey are the kinds of developers whose opinions I generally care about :). That’s my own bias, which I acknowledge exists, and it doesn’t particularly bother me.

Edit: further, none of the results jump out at me as particularly surprising. If there were some extraordinary results here, I’d want someone to do a more rigorous follow-up to dig into that, but there isn’t so...
Your logic only works if you can create digital copies of products ( products are not documents that aren't supposed to be distributed. Products are supposed to be distributed)

Eg. Product = movies

Eg. Not product = the nude selfies your girlfriend send to you.

It's not applicable to hardware and R&D. Also, it's seriously taken out of it's context to defend piracy.

You are generalizing the slang to everything, which isn't right.
How to keep Ruby on Rails application secured
Ask HN: Running a franchise on a dedicated server at home?
So I wanted to know if there are any possibilities to earn money by simply having a server at home running a specific software and like a franchise business it has its set of rules and everything, the difference is that it is basically only an automated service running on my home server, nothing "physical".

Something in this direction I can think of is mining crypto but there your income might fluctuate depending on price of the coin or how early you started mining or it might even not worth the effort due to high electricity costs.

So I am looking to provide a service on a home server where I do not have to care about getting customers, doing any marketing, just the maintenance part, basically making sure that the service is up and running as much as possible.

What are my options here?
Australia as a country was founded in 1901, so there's plenty of historic stuff from that era over here (it was only settled by europeans 113 years before that, so there's a very small window for historic buildings)
> it is the fastest way to write cross-platform applications.

I disagree. Maybe that's true if you're a webdev unwilling to learn anything else, but Lazarus is the fastest way I've found to write cross-platform GUI software, and as a bonus it compiles to native code in a single executable.
These sex differences always conspire to keep women out of important social and economic roles. Such a coincidence!
Of course they are government. If you don't pay their fee, they can evict you. They are the only agency able to do this, despite having no lien on the house. That makes them a government, whether you like it or not
Perhaps unrelated but I think the public deserves to know the identity of the FBI agent who encouraged and allowed 2 ISIS terrorists to attack in Garland.

The FBI agent texted one, “Tear up Texas” and later followed them to the attack site, watched them exit with automatic weapons and then fled. He was almost killed by police when he was pulled over.

The 3rd terrorist arrested 6-months after thought the agent was killed in the attack as a terrorist. This was all to further an undercover investigation.

And this story was on 60 Minutes but few seem to know about it. A year after the attack, James Comey claimed they warned the conference 3 hours before that an attack could be coming-

It isn't just supply though, but essentially inequality. Chinese cities have completely different demographics than western cities. If you want to live somewhere popular in China rents, and real estate values, are rapidly increasing.

Housing isn't like manufactured goods where the marginal cost decrease the more you make. Since the more you build in one area the less available space there is. If you want to decrease cost you have to supply more space.

Still that is only the supply side. As long as there are people, or even an increase of people, that are willing to pay it never becomes affordable even if there are comparable.
Why would anyone even bother buying with such lousy rent to sale ratios?

You weren't a tenant. You were a placeholder.

Your function was to pay enough money for the owner to pay the property taxes and maintenance until the value of the home rose to a level where it was worth selling.

I live in such a place. The Chinese woman who owns my house is just waiting for the market to reach the right price point where she can sell.

In the meantime, my function as a renter is to keep the place clean and safe and do basic maintenance. That's not what's spelled out on the lease, but at an abstracted level, I know that's what I am to her.
People have claimed this dead man switch thing, but it just seems to counter to what Wikileaks has been doing for the last 10+ years.

If they had some crazy leak to make, it doesn’t seem like something they would just sit on to use as personal leverage for assange.
I prefer that all my software is installed and updated in one fell swoop, with one single package manager, instead of requiring myriad installers, uninstallers, and update daemons that run in the background for practically each and every program, just sitting there wasting CPU cycles.

If you dislike outdated software, try switching to a Testing or Unstable version of your operating system, or choosing a distro that packages less conservatively (Arch or Fedora, for instance).
I use IntelliJ IDEs for statically typed languages (and Ruby/Rails), the refactoring/ navigation is top notch and search is super quick.

For web work I use VS Code because it has the best plugins for Vue, React, etc. I would also use it for less popular languages.
The government IS serving the people precisely by putting in place measures to improve air quality.

Most of the backslash against Madrid regulations is coming from people that don't live in the center of the city and are using the issue as a proxy to voice their political views against the mayor's political party (affiliate to left-leaning Podemos).

Funny thing is that this measure was for the longest time in the previous mayoral team (under control from right-leaning Partido Popular) agenda as well.

On the anti-EU sentiment. I think it's important to point out that 62% of Spaniards (and rising since Brexit started) have a favorable view of the EU (according to Pew Research). Eurobarometer is also showing highest support for the EU in 35 years.
When you're just typing rather than thinking, you'll be surprised by lots of logical objections to your babbling. The 19th and 20th centuries are the late-modern period, not the pre-modern period. Most of the Russian Empire was accumulated during this period if not before. It would not be reasonable to rule 19C American actions out of bounds while condemning 19C Russian actions.

I learned vi originally for a job where I had to work on legacy hardware systems and it was that or nano and for whatever reason I couldn't stand nano. At the time, I was also using a small set of 3-4 different IDEs for the "regular" (RF/embedded) work.

Fast forward a few years on that job, I'm finding myself utilizing a workflow that's tracking closely to ESR's TAoUP. I still have to lean on the IDEs for certain classes of problems that I might come across, but they became a tool in my toolbox instead of being the toolbox.

That was all well over a decade ago. I haven't touched an IDE in my full-time work since 2013 or 2014, when I wrote my last line of C#. If I had to go back, I'm glad that VsCode has appeared on the scene in the meantime, but I wouldn't be thrilled about it.

My personal opinion is that living at the layer that I live at, in a terminal with a multiplexer and doing things that leans heavily the UNIX philosophy, gives me an understanding of the systems that I create that I perhaps wouldn't get otherwise.
The air in cities are getting dirty mostly due to diesel car emissions. In order to save the planet from global warming a lot of diesel cars has been sold in Europe due to lower co2 emissions. They were sold as clean diesel cars but were not really clean emitting a lot nox/pm2.5 small particle emissions. The small particles are a danger to public health. It is time we go fully electric/hybrid car in the cities or remove cars from the city centers all together. I do not think a car drivers in cities has the right to pollute the air quality that pedestrians breathe.
This happens all the time when doing onsite tech. Everythig stops while the union authorized guy does the simple thing before anyone can continue their non-union contract work. I had to start baking the cost into the price after the first few times eating it. While I see the need for unions, and cannot suggest a superior implementation, the current incarnation seems to hurt as much as it helps in most cases.
You steal you go to jail.
If you don't pay their fee, they can evict you.

And that's why I wrote that they act like a government. But unlike a government, you can move away from the HOA's project and not be under its thumb. To escape government, you have to buy a ship and anchor it in the middle of the ocean.
Debugging isn't the only thing - I used to use a standalone debugger years ago.

The key factor for me, is the ability for the tool to understand the codebase at some level. It needs to be able to tell me where a symbol is used, let me refactor that symbol (e.g. adding a new mandatory argument, or changing the argument order, or renaming the symbol) with as little extra work from me as possible.

Jetbrains tools allow me to do all of that (in PHP at least. I write about as much JS as I eat mud) where no others I've seen do.
I learned programming from books like The Waite Group's Turbo-C Bible around 1989. In trying to teach my oldest son programming through using modern books, it seemed much more difficult. IDEs and languages change so rapidly that books (and even online tutorials) are dated quickly. Menu options change, links stop working, etc.

It made my son more frustrated when he was first starting.
Same here. For D the best thing is VS Code or Emacs (Spacemacs) atm. I also swap to VS Code for when resources are tight on a system (VMs sucking all the juice). And when I need a lighter editor I open up Sublime Text 3 or VIM if in a Terminal.
There's actually more regular wheat in this cereal than Kernza. "We want to scale this and be able to find it on any grocery store, sitting on the same shelves" alongside every other cereal put out by General Mills' Cascadian Farm brand, Comings says. "You can start to be part of the solution to climate change by eating a cereal, which is just so lovely."

Sigh. I guess you have to start somewhere. The Land Institute at least acknowledges the scope of the problem:

"Our goal is not for it to be a small-scale, niche thing," says Lee DeHaan. "We have landscape-scale problems," and to make a real impact, perennial grains need to cover the landscape.
And SF isn't?
I'd take a Chinese city with clean air over 3400 / month in a second.

So go ahead. No one is stopping you.

SF housing is broken

I don't disagree, and that's also the case in most large cities these days.

I would not put it on a pedestal of being some grand embodyment of democracy.

I don't think it's grand, but I think there's more value to it than current generations understand.
They are not The Government, but they govern various areas relating to the homes and lifes of the people living under them. Since they govern, they are a government. Being limited in scope and power is irrelevant, unless you try to also claim US states don't have a government.

Not entirely related but illustrating the point: an HOA is surprisingly similar to a local government: they approve or deny building requests, compel property owners to pay a share of common expenses (in other contexts called taxes), issue fines for violating "laws", hold elections, etc.
Of course housing is subject to the iron law of supply and demand. It's remarkable that so many people find seemingly-reasonable justifications for denying it.

There must be a name for this pattern, which occurs in areas of life as varied as technical debates, climate science, and health. The common thread is that there's some strong effect that smart people would prefer not to be true and that these smart people spend an inordinate amount of time and social capital finding seemingly-rational justifications for denying this strong effect. The result of this high-IQ motivated reasoning is an impenetrable mess of dueling blog posts, cherry-picked studies, and sophisticated personal sniping that leads regular people to throw their hands up in confusion and do nothing.

An example of this effect: the "zombie claim" (an idea that keeps circulating after being debunked, mostly because it's rhetorically useful) that building housing doesn't decrease prices because developers build only high-end housing. Granted, this effect might be true for very limited times under very limited circumstances in some special region of the supply curve, but it's clearly not a general principle. But there are just enough studies purporting to show this effect that people who want to block housing in general can point to some official-looking LaTeX-typeset thing and say "Look! Economics proves that construction doesn't lower prices!". By the time someone gets around to reading that article and commenting, "if you read beyond the abstract, the article it doesn't say that...", someone's already made some other blog post with the same discredited idea. It goes on and on and on and on and on.

I've become increasingly convinced that the whole scientific and rational enterprise only works in collaborative mode, when there's some shared desire to find the truth. You can never convince someone of something by using reason and evidence, and your counterparty will suspect (rightfully so!) that your "evidence" is just the sort of rhetoric-disguised-as-dialectic that I'm talking about.

It's a dismal conclusion.
So the government of California is not a government because you can move to Nevada? Have you thought about what you're claiming? Is the government of London not a government because you can move to Birmingham?
> ... if you start with a closed 2D surface (like a sphere), you have to pierce it twice to make a straw. But in topology, the first 'hole' you add isn't a 'hole' at all ...

That's from one point of view, as the video says. From another point of view it is a hole. From that point of view, making a "straw" from a sphere requires two holes. The question the video then goes on to ask is whether that point of view is "the best" one. The conclusion is that it probably isn't the most useful - in this context.

But in other contexts, if I have a sphere - genuinely a two dimensional object, all the points (x,y,z) in R^3 satisfying x^2+y^2+z^2=1, when I then punch a hole in it, it has a hole. It's now homeomorphically a disk, but it's a sphere with a hole in it. In this context, for this purpose.

So I think you are overly-condensing the video and removing important points.
Well, it's not your choice of words, it's Banksy's own website that calls them "fake" exhibitions. And I don't think he's right: the works are real, so the exhibition is real. Of course, once released, a work of art has a life independent of that of the author.
Feel free to demonstrate how in either of the above to highlight a block of code, extract it to a function and replace all the duplicate blocks with a call to the newly extracted function correctly across an entire codebase in a couple of keystrokes.

(1) This study is correlational, not causal.

(2) The summary of the study says that muscle power quartile is correlated with six-year mortality for the members of the study. But it doesn't say whether muscle power is any better than other measures like muscle strength. I.e., muscle power isn't necessarily a better predictor; it's just another predictor.

Reading the study rather than the summary might be more helpful.
