It's a fine question. In the past, I've had a lawyer draft a patent grant (this was in 2000, there's a bit on my Wikipedia page about it). This time, I did two things.

First, and to make it legally very crisp, I used an Apache 2 license, which comes with an explicit patent grant. Second, renewal is coming up for the Spiro patent, and I'm not renewing it. Nor am I pursuing the provisional on the new spline work. These will take a few months to become legally binding, as theoretically I could change my mind, but the first I think makes it official right now.

What about a simple "die" function that echoes a message and return an error code? Could be used both in scripts and in the interactive shell. It would use "exit" when SHLVL is more than 1, and "return" otherwise.
The US also dealt with a lot of hijackings and bombings decades ago. Mysteriously they mostly stopped once security and metal detectors got implemented.

I'll be giving at talk at Libre Graphics Meeting in a couple weeks on exactly this topic. I'll make the slides available as well. Hopefully they'll make the front page of Hacker News also, as that seems to be a thing these days for my work :)
It is actually the opposite, it is a large corporation abusing its position to entrench itself even more. It has nothing to do with regulation. If google wanted to do the right thing all they had to do was penalize the bloat.
Why not?

There is a patreon page linked right on his twitter page. He may not be exchanging time for food and shelter, but he is playing the same marketing game as anyone else for a personal high score.

Or perhaps they're realizing that, as EVs become more popular, the roads still need to be maintained and want to get ahead of the problem.

Our first instinct is far too often wrong
I used to meet with an endless stream of immigrants, legal and not. One thing I noticed was that the ones who used the equivalent of “Immersion“ learning (that is, they simply did not associate with people who spoke your own language) were by far The most positions learners. I witnessed a few people from Poland end up with almost no Polish accent, even though they came to the USA in middle age.

A few years later, I ended up dating a Polish woman who did not know English. I learned become close to conversational within a few weeks, because (sorry, but it is relevant to the story) she was gorgeous.

It turned out that the oldest of motivations proved surprisingly effective for me.
Constant change can be exhausting. Routine is ok, it frees the mind for bigger problems.

I'm happily contrarian. can anyone state a positive spin on this story?
I think it is fair to know exactly what data I'm giving up and what Google is doing with it, if I chose to exchange it for free services and goods. Hopefully someone with a spine comes to power and enacts some regulation allowing users to have a much clearer understanding of this. Also, people dislike Google for many things it has already done, not just because of an imagined future problem. Also.... nothing personal against you!
Malloc Never Fails (2012)
Ask HN: Remote opportunities that don't require an insane costly signal?
Hello everyone,

For a certain demographic of people (e.g: small-town, non-top-tier university grads), there seems to be a ceiling on the technical skills they can master. This is mainly due to lack of opportunities in their local setting, including access to experienced mentors. Advances in online education and the possibility of remote work should help eliminate that, but as we seen with the relative lack of success of MOOCs, this can be very hard to achieve. Additionally, remote work that is technically challenging is often reserved to senior engineers or those with prominent open-source contributions.

My question is: Where can I find remote work/mentorship that is challenging - regardless of compensation - without having to sacrifice babies to prove my worth?

P.S: My email is in my profile.
Language learning is often frustrating. Adults generally have resources, and can use those resources to avoid exposure. Kids don't, and are forced to learn language to accomplish anything at all.
Unpopular question, what if we are keeping the next ice age at bay with increased green house gasses? Are there any viewpoints where this is considered beneficial?
Unfortunately installing a custom ROM voids Google's SafetyNet, which stops many important apps from working, like Google Pay, Netlix, Snapchat and a ton of banking apps.

I wonder how a card-based solution will compete with e-sim. Seems like twilio’s advantage will be reduced to demand aggregation once e-sims are popular. Anyone have thoughts on differentiation in this space?

I'm not a fan of AMP, but this is way over the top.
so can I use at least Comctl32 or is it deprecated?

Of course you can. The Common Controls are part of Win32 in the same way that user32 and gdi32 are.

Also worth noting that Microsoft is in the unique position that they do not want to break countless applications and realise that backwards compatibility is their strong point and a major reason why people use Windows, so even if something is "deprecated", unless it's related to some low-level system functionality, chances are it is not going to stop working. I'd say that they use "deprecation" more as a way of marketing newer-but-not-necessarily-better technologies.
Could you tell us more about that? I'm very curious to know what happened other than long-term imprisonment. Banishment? Death? The stocks?
Another reason: People might not necessarily know what they don't know right off the top of their head. So if you ask them something and they don't know the answer, they won't even necessarily know whether they don't know the answer because it is an embarrassing gap in their knowledge or if the question is hard. The only thing they might know for sure is that they don't know the answer.

Honestly, trying to bullshit your way towards an answer isn't a bad strategy in this circumstance.
Illinois is a case study of the cancer that is Mike Madigan, the shadow governor of the state for more than 30 years. He is perhaps the last of the old-school Democratic machine bosses, although he would operate exactly the same way if he was a nominal Republican. Until the man dies, the state will continue to rot.
I guess I mean overall "you can't stop owners from analyzing their access logs" and not just related to Cloudfront.

Well, "To Kill a Mockingbird" has never been out of print (since 1960) and Capote isn't known for his novels. "In Cold Blood" (1966) was his most successful work. One could argue that she was the more successful novelist.

Capote's fame is mostly due to his "jet set" social life, not the quantity or quality of his work.
I was talking about value-based registration fees (which tend to be particular to cities - particularly those whose tax revenue is primarly based on comsumption/sales tax like WA), not EV-specific fees (which are generally statewide).
Happy 100th Birthday, Mr.Feynman (no Google doodle tho’..for shame)
I would prefer they attach a use tax to the electric chargers (both home and elsewhere). This $1k per year tax is going to make sure no lower income person buy an electric car. The at-the-pump taxes are gradual and not a catastrophic hit. At some point we will get charging technology close enough to have them replace gas stations and folks won't have to have a garage / upper class apartment parking to own an electric car.

Although we are talking politicians, I am pretty sure someone can come up with a formula involving the weight of the vehicle and range to match it to the tax of ICE vehicles.
It’s a case study of what happens when most voters don’t pay attention to state and local politicians, allowing the politicians who scratch the unions’ backs to be elected and then they keep fudging the numbers since both the politicians and union members who benefit will be long gone when the problem comes around.
I doubt it. I bet he finds a way to “fix” the science so it “confirms” that clime chant is a hoax. Otherwise he’d only be helping the democrats, with their green new deal stuff.

We are coming out of an ice age folks. Look at more than 150 years of temperature data. It's been warmer. Who was driving all the SUVs back then? We need more science.

> AMP is not fast because it's served from google's CDN. That's a lie, It has always been a lie, and it will always be a lie. AMP is fast because it's incompatible with 99% of the bullshit client cpu heavy tracking and ad libraries, so they don't get included inside AMP pages.

AMP is fast because of prefetching. That's not a "lie." You can measure this. When you click an AMP link, the page is already downloaded. Prefetched pages load faster than https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

But prefetching has a problem: when you visit a website, they can fingerprint you and track you. Prefetching from random websites in search results violates your privacy.

The only way to fix the privacy issues with prefetching is for the search engine (not just Google--Bing, too) to serve the prefetched page from their own CDN.
They are also raising the same fee for standard vehicles to $148. So, it’s an extra 852$ a year for electric cars, or a little over 25k miles including federal taxes at 20MPG, or 50k miles at 40MPG.
my employer pays full price for my productivity

This implies your employer negotiated a price for what you imagined was the limit of your productivity, and is getting somewhat less than that. But your employer knew all about working conditions and their impact on productivity when they hired you. Have you considered the possibility that their offer was based on a much lower expectation of what you would deliver than your imagination of what you could deliver?
I'd be curious to know if you are still using a web toolkit from 10 years ago.
> The justification for the dramatic hike? Electric vehicles don’t provide the state with any gas tax revenue.

Oh, that's just farcical. Americans drive an average of slightly less than 14k miles / year. At that 44¢/gal tax rate, that's ~$200 of tax / year; nowhere near the proposed $1000. And this comparison assumes that the state doesn't tax electricity at all.

This smells like someone's representative has been bought and paid for.
Regardless of Tomasulo, I would expect "out of order" to imply that (at the very least) when you have two independent streams of arithmetic (in the same thread) that depend on different memory loads, the order of execution of the arithmetic depends on which of the loads returns first.

I don't think any GPU does that. You could perhaps argue that GPUs issue instructions in order, but memory instructions can retire out of order wrt arithmetic.

If there is a GPU that's more out of order than that, I'd appreciate some pointers to evidence :)
Let's envision a world where only electric vehicles are driven. How is a tax collected to keep the roads in good shape - an electricity consumption tax?
Yeah, I mean, how many new taxes can we get put on us? It's insane. How about fixing the budget instead. We already have the highest property taxes. No wonder people are leaving in droves.
I have to say that the LINENO variable does not have the expected behavior in process substitutions, especially when using multi-line commands (with backslashes at the end, or using multi-line strings).

LINENO will use the last line number of a multi-line "$(...)" command, offsetting all the commands' line numbers within the substitution. Since multi-line strings are concatenated by Bash internally, LINENO will only increase by one for those.

You end up with line numbers greater than the number of lines in your file, or overlapping with empty lines or comments. In this matter, Zsh's LINENO is way better as it will have the expected value (it will always be the line where the command was started, not an offset).
This is interesting because it addresses "second language", not just another foreign language.Learning a third language is much easier than the second one.

Because there aren’t any systematic perverse incentives baked into US healthcare or anything.

Like, say, many if not most preventive measures being unreimbursible while treatment (especially Stone Age chemo protocols) are reimbursed at profitable rates.

Nope, it’s those fucking physicians greedily trying to gut medicine. Like so:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/26/health/private-equity-der...

Oh, whoops, my bad, it’s the usual malevolent actors and their stooges.

Yes there are shitty doctors (I’ve worked with plenty). However, I would propose that the majority of the rot in the US system is structural. Socialized or properly regulated private systems do not have these scale of problems.

Last but not least, I’m guessing you haven’t added up the cost of running a Snyderome per person. It’s not sustainable on a large scale at current prices. That is why cruder methods of risk stratification that cost less are the norm.
I have a big clunky deskphone. I have yet to make or receive a call on it. The desk real estate it occupies is a bigger cost to me than however many seconds I can eventually save.
Yeah, seems like:

a) category error: The simplicity in the example is due to immutability, not language choice.

b) familiarity bias: I've learned X therefore it's simpler than Y. (It might be true, but you'd need a lot more supporting evidence than relying on point a.)

... anyway.
Gmail and Drive going away tomorrow would cause a lot of trouble
For the patents yes, but the code is still copyrighted, so the new Apache/MIT licenses apply. They’re quite permissive though so I can’t imagine many uses that would run afoul of them.
It would all be hilarious were it not for the suffering people instigate in order to defend their beliefs.
Pay per mile when renewing your vehicle registration, with a tax modifier based on vehicle weight and axle count?

This needs to be stated in more ways. Credit cards themselves encourage inflation (credit card fees, offset payments, lack of savings to pay for goods). And those same rewards programs are paid for with merchant fees, further encouraging price inflation.
Disgusting abuse of taxes.
Are they?

If you design for yourself at least you are using a real person. Personas are invariably about the same as designing for what's fun.
What has this got to do with Apple?
Not bullet trains. As speeds increase, the safe distance between trains (both in time and space) must also increase. No rail line (line, not station) can handle one bullet train every minute. A large railway station can indeed handle more than a single runway, but apples and oranges. A rail station can have multiple rail lines just as an airport can run multiple runways.
Is there a reason income + property + sales taxes can't maintain roads as well? You don't need to tax cars to fund roads, you don't need to tax paper to fund schools.
As an aside, if any body does want to play Youtube videos in the background on their Android phone, without using the Youtube app, install Firefox for Android and install the Video Background Play Fix extension.
> That has long term effects of tying developers to the brand.

So does GitHub's package registry. In terms of ROI for dollars spent, that seems pretty good.
It's an imperfect solution to a difficult problem - throttling user account creation.

A very imperfect solution when it comes to FastMail.

In moving my accounts from Gmail to FastMail it wouldn't allow me to add more than x number of accounts verified with the same cellular number. Even though they were paid accounts. So some of my family remains on Gmail because I only have one phone number that receives SMS messages.
If every penny of the gas tax had to be spent on public road and infrastructure improvements, then there'd likely be broad based support for raising and - as with this proposal - expanding it as needed. However I'd be willing to bet that the majority if not the entirety of this tax increase will be spent on legacy pension bailouts instead.
>It's patently wrong to suggest that unequivocal positions are inherently toxic.

I'm reading your comment and kinda wondering what it has to do with my comment that you're replying to. I never suggested such a thing.

>There are innumerable situations wherein there is legitimate experience and authority for people to make fairly clear and unambiguous decisions.

I'm not disputing that. The context of my comment is the discussion around it. My question is: If that is the case, does there need to be any discussion around it at all? Just make the decision. It kind of gets to the point of the article. If it's unambiguous and you're sure about the decision, you can present it that way and close any room for disagreement. If you actually want people to express disagreement, then it means you are willing to consider your analysis of ambiguity would be wrong.

My counter would be:

There are innumerable situations where people's belief that the situation allows for clear and unambiguous decisions is wrong.

I'm not saying your scenarios don't exist. I'm arguing about Type I vs Type II errors.
It's not an unpopular question so much as an irrelevant one: An ice age a few hundred years out is not much of a concern if within decades the seas are going to devour big chunks of our habitable land via melting sea ice, and the rising temperatures make agriculture much harder on the remaining land while also making large sections of the remaining land uninhabitable due to high temps.
After a while of that, people will be begging for an ice age.
If we want to fight off an ice age we should just keep the temperature roughly where it is (or perhaps where it was a couple decades ago, because the current increased temps are already causing big problems)

"What if atmospheric carbon is good" and similar questions stopped being reasonable once we started observing direct negative impact of global warming right in front of our faces. Like, sure, there are probably advantages to it, but there are advantages to all sorts of negative things - sickle cell anemia grants partial resistance to some nasty diseases, but It's Also Sickle Cell Anemia.
>Is this really true? Wasn't China the final destination of the original silk road. Isn't it why we call it the "silk" road.

Gigantic amounts of silk were dumped into the Roman Empire and gigantic amounts of gold left to China. Which became a problem eventually.

That’s fair. For the overall game you can expect to lose 50% though, with a handful of outsized windfalls going to 1/1000000 people.

Thank you so much, so happy I could find someone to discuss on this topic.

>What university do you want to study at?

Polytechnics at Bucharest , but there is competiton there and my teachers do not make me do hardcore exams at school like at a National College
It's obviously problematic but the impetus: missing tax revenues to pay for infrastructure - is a very real issue.

If as it turns out fuel taxes were major contributors to paying for the roads that make cars possible ... well, this issue has to be addressed.

Ecological issues aside, the underlying economic impacts are real, and we should consider them enlightening in a way because they help us understand just how much things cost, how they get paid for, and what we're going to need to do if we want to realign everything.

Without knowing the breakdown ... maybe it's just possible that good chunk of 'gas savings' is really just 'not having to pay taxes which pay for roads'.

Maybe as a commenter above pointed out, it's only closer to '$200/year' - fair enough, but I think even a $200 tax might be unsettling to us as well.

I don't know what the answer is, but whatever it is, we can't ignore some of these realities.
This is somewhat nonsensical, though. We don't have evidence that we are preventing a decline in temperatures. We have evidence that we are seeing a rise in temperatures. Those are two very different things.

So, it is not that the question is unpopular. It just doesn't make sense. You are begging the question that things could be worse under alternatives. The plight is to improve the one we are in.
