Hello, cofounder of Overleaf here.

Just to be clear, open source development of ShareLaTeX is ongoing and indeed has accelerated since Overleaf and ShareLaTeX joined forces. ShareLaTeX is split into many repos, and the one linked above is a 'coordinator' repo that doesn't get updated much. See https://github.com/sharelatex/web-sharelatex for one that is more active.

The free version of Overleaf/ShareLaTeX does have a restriction on the number of collaborators: you plus one other. Paid accounts support more collaborators [1], and you can also get more collaborators on the free account by referring others [2].

If brewing alcohol, ethanol would probably be ruled out to avoid legal issues in many places.
You don’t need for the financial system to collapse for inflation to eat into these deposits. Even target inflation (about 2%) eats these low yielding deposits over the long term. And the never ending increase of public debt will result in high inflation at one point. My point being that if you have $250k in savings, it probably shouldn’t sit and melt on a savings account.
This is a standard trick that acid freaks play on each other.

Once you see yourself in the mirror, it's very hard to stop looking. People sometimes get stuck there for hours.
The government won at trial, defended the win on appeal, and lost. There is no “appeal” from that. The decision of the court of appeals typically is the final word. The only avenues are petitions for discretionary review, reserved for special cases: rehearing (asking the appeals court to change its mind), or Supreme Court review. Such review is rarely granted (a few percent of cases), and generally only for a question of exceptional importance to the law, or where different courts of appeals reach conflicting decisions. Neither was true here.
Correct. They say a billion later on in the article. That's a typo
Ethanol mixed fuel is common in a lot of places.
A fun usage of dimensional analysis:

Fuel capacity of a diesel electric locomotive: 6200 gallons

Energy density of diesel fuel: 40kWh/gal

Total energy capacity of full fuel load: 248 megawatt hours

Tesla battery pack weight: 540kg

Tesla energy capacity: 85kWh

Weight of equivalent battery pack for a diesel locomotive:

248 MWh / (85 kWh / 540 kg) = 1575 metric tons

Weight of a diesel locomotive: 196 metric tons

So you'd roughly 10x the weight of a locomotive by trying to make it run on batteries, leaving aside the challenges of actually trying to charge those batteries.

Another fun fact: that locomotive can run flat out at max power for 2.2 days without refueling.
"That part may be the only redeemable part of this process."

Until they start hedging their exposure in some more or less creative way.
* I think before 2015 some things were working better or faster in other IDEs.

* I am happy with with the big improvements in VS starting around 2015. But the fact, that the C++ support was so bad in earlier versions (even if it was better in some ways than other IDEs) that it makes me upset that people had to put up with inferior older versions for over decade.

* It was not my original point but yes MS does not follow the standard very well, at least before. I even found a compiler bug myself back in VS2015 (the last version I used before moving linux server dev.)
If the deposits are insured I don’t see why they should get any upside. If the creditors are uninsured, this is effectively how bail in works. You are either written down or converted into equity, and existing shareholders are wiped out.

I wish I could leverage such polished interfaces for my research group. But, we have lot of contracts that bind us to keep our research data in house. We cannot simply "run something in the cloud".

So, Jupyterhub and manual tinkering to get such polish for now.

I tried the XPS and more recently the G3. The G3 is very nice, I dual boot Windows and Linux and haven't found any big problems yet. Wasnt a fan of the XPS either, the high DPI wasnt well supported on either OS (Java apps needed workarounds). The G3 seems perfect so far, 32g ram, good connectivity and ports, NVidia support has been fine on multiple monitors etc
Ask HN: How much commission should I pay?
So here’s the story. I have been working on a product (just on paper, no customers) and a very good friend, who is working as a consultant with a large company (500 employees), approached me with some of the problems his company is facing.

We had some discussions and I decided I would change directions with my product, try to solve the company’s problems and sell the solution to them. My friend is ending his contract to pursue his own product but said he would help me get the product into the company before he leaves but he’d like a commission.

My friend has been very helpful in providing information about the company’s problems and I’ve used that to design the offering. He has won over some key stakeholders, of which some are good friends of his, and he is confident the product will be sold into the company as a result of his efforts. My part will be flying over to give the final pitch, sending through the formal proposal/contract and of course delivering the solution. He will push to move forward with the solution internally but won’t be involved after the contract is signed.

The most recent deal we had on the table was 40% of the upfront setup project and 35% of the annual contract value with 15% paid on signing and the rest paid over the contract term. The deal we’re trying to get with the company is 27k upfront and 4.8k monthly with an annual commitment.

My question to HN is how much commission should I be paying? And, is the deal on the table fair or competitive?

Thank for any help HN!

(edit)
Just wanted to add that we have been talking several times a week and he has had several meetings with stakeholders to highlight the need for a product like this and to defend the strategy's merit. I want to be clear that he is quite involved although he is still working for them as usual for them.
It also would be well-suited to shorter-range attackers - Iron Dome can only intercept missiles with a minimum range of about 2.5km.

Israel is pursuing its own high-energy laser defense program, Iron Beam (yes, not so creative). From public sources, it's not clear if the thing is 1-2 years from deployment, or if it's in development hell; the US is uniquely public about these high-budget prestige projects for internal political reasons.
Brian Kernighan Interviews Ken Thompson at Vintage Computer Festival East 2019
Why do we need to sync clocks to the rising sun though? We can create an alarm clock that goes off at sunrise using the same smart technology. We don't need to change the time metric.

Now you might argue you need to do this because business demands that we start at 9am. Well THAT is what needs to change. Most jobs don't need a fixed start time. If they say come in between 7am and 10am that should give enough leeway so you can rise at sunrise.

And in any case a 7am fixed sunrise and a 9am fixed work start time is still an issue for those who need > 2 hours to get ready for and commute to work.
consumer deposits would probably be less sticky if consumers were required to confirm every single day that they would like the banks to carry their deposits over to the next day, which is what an overnight repo is in essence.

the nature of consumer banking is that the nitty-gritty grindy bits of real finance - overnight and term repos, daily settlements, credit risk and value adjustments - are abstracted away (for a fee) from the typical user who doesn't really want to care about these things, even if it will do them a lot of good to at least consider these effects.

I attempted to fill in the areas not making any changes with their original zone: https://i.imgur.com/ZJZwc46.png

(I also made Eastern hues of purple, to clearly show they're separate. Same w/ HI/AK.)

Note El Paso becomes an isolated area of what was once America/Denver (Mountain Time), but would probably become America/El_Paso.

I have no idea what is going on in Oklahoma in this map, and I didn't bother to change it.

I honestly can't imagine that this would last very long; the remnants of ye olde America/Chicago (which is gone, in the new) would probably join America/Salt_Lake? (at which point it becomes America/Houston?) if you're SD/NE/TX/LA. If you're KY/WI, I'd say join America/New_York and let IL/IN feel like timezone weirdos, except IN is probably used to it[1].

America/Lewiston should just rock its new place of power.

Seriously people, this is why we can't have nice things. DST was a decent compromise. I for one also don't want to do DST time year round, as one will basically not see sunrise in the winter. Noon should be at noon, modulo reasonable inaccuracies due to the need to have timezones, but this being essentially a zone off bugs the purist in me.

But I also kinda like leap seconds, so I'm probably a weirdo.

This does not displace a carbon negative future. And zero minus current emissions is still a negative number.
Missiles are an offensive weapon; these are defensive weapons (for shooting down missiles).

The lasers will probably remain, and missiles will get better and better penetration aids (stealth, reflective/ablative/insulating coatings, etc) to get past the lasers.

At even higher powers, lasers may outclass missiles as anti-aircraft weapons, but we're not nearly there yet. In the surface-to-surface realm missiles are more likely to be obsoleted by railguns than lasers.
Foldable phones’ potential to turn UX into a disaster

It wouldn't be that hard to put a couple developers of each major distro around a table then have them decide that when the user installs say the gaming_mode package, a well defined and standardized set of kernel+libraries+devices gets installed/created along with a new Grub boot option should that conflict with current versions.
Exclusive deals are part of the industry since the early 80's.

Other than Unreal (the game), there was hardly any big effort to support GNU/Linux from Epic side.

Yeah I will give you that. The apple keyboard that comes with the Macs is a cluster for sure. But... while Apple has done more for the industry in my opinion to force the other manufacturers to move their hardware to a higher build quality profile etc., the OS is still what I find the most compelling -- mostly because I am all in on Apple services (iMessage, iCloud, keychain, etc.) and things often look more appealing on the Mac (yeah I spend most of my time in the terminal but I do like things that look good -- high DPI on linux is almost there just not quite there yet imo). Basically it comes down to productivity and for me it's on a Mac, that keyboard be damned.*

I use an external Magic Keyboard 2 without the 10-key as it fits on top of the keyboard of my MacBook as if it should have been the keyboard all this time. But it was an expensive keyboard and not a suggestion I would give many people -- the keyboard should just work.

Have you tried it? Perhaps there words aren't doing justice to the experience and what you're writing off as the same as some other act might be missing the target.

For example, having never tried meditation nor psychedelics, both yours and ops experiences seem barely believable. But I haven't tried either so I wouldn't go out and say that.
Parent said "mates" rather than hookups.
What evidence do you have? I work with the teams who structure these transactions and get them rated on the bank side. Their methodologies have been revised, every communication with the originating bank is recorded and actively monitored (they have a compliance officer on every call), they do not allow feedback or revising their initial rating to optimise the structure. They have become paranoid. What makes you think they are not?

And their incentive is the same as an audit company, it is an existential threat.
The conclusion is hilarious, full of wisdom and kind of sad in a way:

> I'm trying to build some of these things - right now I'm still stuck on the first point - making software that's not broken
> If there is any kind of problem here, it's that two or more colluding racers that take turns drafting each other can race faster together than each of the individual racers cycling alone, and that cycling features many different competitions including some of the same competitors. This creates a trust-dependent metagame.

This "problem" is basically the whole strategic aspect of road racing.
And to this day their OS still considers the scroll wheel on top of it to be part of the keyboard.

tmux + vim (akin to Windows Remote Assistance) can be good enough in some situations.
It is not possible for a C program to be faster than the C++ version. Compile the C program with a C++ compiler, and they are exactly the same.

Then, use C++ features anywhere they make it faster.

If you knew C++ I could go into more detail, but if you knew C++ we would not need to have this conversation.
You really do not want RJ45 / 10GBase-T for higher network speeds. They consume A LOT more power and has significantly higher latency than SFP+/SFP28 and fiber cables.

I have a Brocade ICX 6450 with 4 10G ports in my homelab, replaced the fan with a whisper silent one. Cannot hear and is right next to me. Brocade ICX 6610 has 16 10G ports and 2 40G ports, not super quiet, but not that noisy either.

:P That does seem unlikely. It is a thought experiment to illustrate that whatever the problem is it is not the inequality per se. Which is why I'm asking questions along the lines of "What is the problem here, and why do people think it is wealth inequality?". I think the problem is a lack of resource provision for the poor.
Presumably. They announced they are working on UTF-8 support last year while building a new TTY-ish subsystem. [1] So their work will likely land to the new terminal.

This is functionally speaking exactly what WINE has been for Linux, although WINE differs and was a lot harder to develop because for obvious reasons it cannot contain a Windows kernel.
My only concern is one day people (Microsoft?) will start writing "Linux" software which would "perform better" on WSL rather than on regular Linux, then driving away part of the userbase from the real thing.

Have you considered just writing your own? The dependency graph should be a DAG - finding dependencies in a DAG is not hard. If you use a language like Python, This will easily give you point 2) - you can express abstractions in a much saner language than make.
Deals happen in lots of bike races, both in pro and amateur/youth categories. But word gets around fast in the peloton if you make a deal and do not honor it. If you pull a stunt like this especially in a big race like a national championship you can be sure that practically no one will ever make another deal with you and often riders won't even enter a breakaway with you. They might even ask you to drop out of the breakaway or they stop pulling.
Valve is pushing linux hard because they have to compete with microsoft, and although steam is much bigger than the windows store, windows store comes with the platform and linux has nothing comparable. Epic store does want to compete with steam, but they also care about the eastern market—hence the tencent investment—where internet cafes are much more popular than PCs; they can make deals with the internet cafe owners to make epic the installed store, and artificially capture market share that way.
What is your margin?
Alacritty is pretty great, especially if you enable use of the new ConPTY API (needs Windows 19H1)
In fact, you don't even need to be in bash - WSL also installs a Win32 binary bash.exe, that redirects to Bash inside your default Linux install (there can be several). Which means that you can do this in cmd:

bash -c "cat somefile.txt | sort | uniq > output.txt"

Since bash handles pipes and redirection in this case, it preserves Unix semantics exactly. And since WSL can see all your filesystems (they're mounted under /mnt/c, /mnt/d etc), and bash.exe maps current working directory, this works in any directory.

This is much more tedious when you have to specify paths, because they have to be mapped explicitly, much like cygpath in Cygwin:

bash -c "cat `wslpath -u 'C:\Temp\somefile.txt'` | sort | uniq > output.txt"
Might be that lasers will start showing up on missiles. Hard sci-fi has its missiles carrying nuclear-pumped X-ray lasers, but I suppose smaller, non-nuclear versions could do well enough for terrestrial use.

As for "laser deflector shields", we haven't cracked the "deflector shield" part yet. The closest thing we have to force fields is actual matter - in this case, probably kicking up a dense dust cloud to scatter the laser.

I’m new to the topic from a technical point of view. I was wondering if the conflict resolving issues are fundamentally different from online gaming scenarios. I.e., could the ways problems are solved in multiplayer games also be applied to collaborative editors and vice versa?

How hard is it to set up windows 95 in a vm, basically an emulator?
Sure, but how useful is the energy density in practice?
1. Very soon all new cars will be electric anyway (because that is better for other reasons)
2. I’m assuming range will not be an issue, almost all private driving is very local, so most cars don’t benefit from long range, as long as it’s easy to get long range vehicles when you need them. And of course trucks etc will need to be long range.
3. Driving a truckload of energy is cool but how useful is it? We can already deliver more energy than that instantly through the grid, and most populated places on earth are on the grid now so it seems like a niche use case.

Sure, but you don't know that until the attacks actually begin, and anyone can attack any site for any reason these days. Meanwhile, most people who run WordPress sites don't know how to do anything more complicated than installing a plugin. Being a developer who caters to that market has its own charms and challenges.

I was also using unique_ptr at Google (shared_ptr is not encouraged), but the problem with unique_ptr is that it doesn't solve the more complex data ownership cases, and it's totally unusable for multi-threaded data race problems.

Rust Rayon is a huge difference from anything available from C++, and it can't be solved in C++ without adding borrow checker to the C++ language (which wouldn't be a bad thing to do in my opinion, it would help modernizing old code bases).
> manual branch optimisations are equivalent to code cache layout optimizations

There is a big overlap, but they are not equivalent. Especially the default prediction and the fact that the number of predictions per cache line (branch density) has a limit. Also, loop unswitching is still worth it.
