>Furthermore torrenting got really convenient and is very fast with adequate Internet (let's say 10MByte/s), so you get a decent quality movie in under 5 minutes (obviously only if there are enough seeders - but the availability of torrents completely dwarfs the availability of streaming providers - if it's really unpopular and maybe a little bit older you just won't find it on streaming services).

Small nit: with that Internet speed you could only download a 3 GB file, which is definitely not enough for a quality film. Even iTunes, which is kind of infamous for how badly their films are encoded, is usually bigger than that.

The big picture though is that it really doesn't matter anymore because quite a few clients now allow you to download the first 10% or so of the file first, so you can start streaming it instantly. There's no reason a for-pay streaming service built on to of bittorrent wouldn't do the same.
Well, this is terrible news on World Turtle Day.

I'm not sure that matters much, it'd likely still be concentrated on a smaller radius than the pupil, even if it isn't focused to an absolute pinpoint.
I agree that they are incompetent for not trademarking it in China, but I still find it odd that this would affect their ability to sell in Taiwan, Malaysia, etc.

For example, they ought to have the upper hand in the U.S. as long as the Chinese name more commonly refers to their game than the copycat's (since U.S. is not first-to-file), but it sounds like Apple is nevertheless prohibited from including their game under Chinese name in the U.S. (for Chinese-speaking U.S. players) due to PRC law.

As someone who has written a considerable amount of Forth as a hobbyist, studied APL, and been paid to write K, it's fascinating to me how aesthetically similar the Forth and APL communities are, despite their languages approaching minimalism from completely different sides of the spectrum. I definitely credit learning to read Forth as helping to open my mind to the unconventionality of APLs. Spend enough time out there on the edge and you don't get as hung up on whether syntax resembles C or is "unreadable".
Yeah, tried Strattera and it kind of messed up the, um, timing, of my funtimes plumbing. Vyvanse did a bit of that as well.
I would imagine that they're working on it. But, as devil's advocate, I might ask instead "why didn't Apple remove the offending app only from the region in which it was deemed to be infringing?"
Why do you say subtitles and secondary audio (I assume you mean multiple language tracks) don't work well? I've downloaded files with multiple subtitles and audio tracks, which VLC makes easy to switch between.
Admittedly, many/most torrents don't offer these but that doesn't mean they can't.
WinZip and 7z support tgz.
Yeah I'm a bit confused now.
I jumped into Normandy in 2014 at the 70th anniversary of D-Day out of a DC3/C47 that had dropped paratroopers 70 years prior.

That was a really cool experience. We had 9 Dakotas at the 70th.

There are 34 Dakotas or “Daks” scheduled to drop paratroopers en masse in Normandy in less than two weeks time for the 75th Anniversary.

Unfortunately I can’t make it this year as I’ll jumping out of CH47 Chinooks at Leapfest for our NZ Team in Rhode Island later in July.

Can’t do it all.

The DC3/C47 is a really cool bird and the private effort to get them all together for this from around the world has been a Herculean effort.

The crowd at the 70th was estimated between 250-300k people.

This year will be far more.

Very positive experience to have been a part of, looking forward to seeing the photos/video.
This is incorrect. In general, a reference can point to either the stack or the heap, including when generics are used. It is possible in theory for the Rust compiler to implement an ABI optimization where function arguments that are references to small values would be passed by value instead, at least in some cases (see my other post). However, that optimization does not currently exist.

Edit: But in this case the reference will be optimized away anyway, because the callee function will be inlined.

Edit 2: Actually, the optimization does exist at the LLVM level, though it only applies in some cases. See my other comment:

Those studies were pretty terribly done, with no control and other confounding factors. Maybe indicative of more study but nowhere near substantial or reproducible.

Edit: Replying with a 45 year-old study with extremely low scientific merit is silly especially on HN. I was asking specifically for references to the reproducibility op mentioned.

We know that nuclear weapons exist, but generally you can't find plans on how to make the kinds we produce that yield much larger degrees of damage. So, I'm not sure what your point is. We also know that an F-35 and F-22 exist...but we have no idea what the schematics are, we don't even know what it's coated with, they are secret.

That document you linked is fascinating. It's especially relevant to me because I'm currently taking a class through my university's pharmacy department on drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry. Just last week I wrote about PCP's origins as an aesthetic (similar to ketamine). This[1] is a good source on the topic.

Do you happen to know of other documents in a vein similar to the LSD one you linked? Pharmacology is one of many bizarre topics I endeavor to understand in my free time (this weird thing called "programming" also happens to be one).

It's also important to observe that Forth's approach to metaprogramming is very powerful, but completely different from Lisp's approach. It's not just another retread of the same ideas. CREATE...DOES>, immediate words, parsing words, fancy tricks with the rstack and other fun Forth stuff has at best very loose analogs in Lisp macros.
As with any expense, you should have a good business reason for it. But I think there's a strong business case for businesses supporting open source software that's key to that business.

Wikileaks is not the New York Times. Wikileaks did not redact certain documents that ended up burning sources and agents, putting lives in danger. Major news publications don't do that. Major news publications also don't tell someone exactly how to hack into something to get a story. They can massage a source, they can solicit sources, they can contact a source...but you can't tell someone how to hack into a military data bank for the purpose of a story and then say it was free speech. The publishing is -not- what the government is charging Assange with.
And how are you so sure that they were not possessed by the ghost of Steve Jobs?
Lisp has distinct integer and floating point types with the correct behavior for those types. At runtime they might get passed around as tagged data, but that’s not visible in the language semantics. In JavaScript, by contrast, the language exposes only a double float rule and you have to use floats where you’d otherwise use integers.
"not targeting China at all" may be overstating things, but "going so heavy into China" sounds like an exaggeration too.

You can be resigned to the fact that your app will be immediately cloned, and yet still think it worthwhile to spend a bit of money on having it localized enough that Chinese customers might find it compelling. I hear there are a lot of people in China. If you can have the job done cost-effectively, no reason not to try to capture at least some of the market. If people will buy clones, maybe they'll buy the original too.
1. It doesn't.

2. The Iterator implementation for RangeInclusive requires the underlying type to implement Step [1], which floats do not. So you can't iterate over a range of floats (although you can still construct one).

If this goes through with Assange, there's nothing preventing the government from also putting Glenn Greenwald behind bars, along with half of the investigative journalists in Washington, DC.

Let me lay out the case to you. Glenn Greenwald conspired with a government employee to access classified information. He knew that Snowden was offering classified information. He hatched a conspiracy with Snowden to meet in Hong Kong, beyond the reach of the United States government. They intentionally obfuscated their communications. They set up a secret meeting point. They decided on a secret signal that would allow Greenwald to identify Snowden. This looks very much like a conspiracy in which Greenwald knows that Snowden is breaking the law, and in which Greenwald is helping Snowden work out a way to do so.

Of course, prosecuting Greenwald for the Snowden leaks would be a disaster for democracy. Prosecuting Assange would also be disastrous.

I have the feeling that a lot of Democrats have decided to throw in their lot with the intelligence agencies that want Snowden behind bars, because they can't forgive him for publishing Hillary and the DNC's emails. For them, this is political payback. If we start throwing journalists to the wolves because we don't like them politically, that will be a very dark day for democracy.
Focusing on products and consumer choice ignores the huge increases in cost of two things that are actually important, housing and education. Doesn’t matter if TVs are cheap when you can’t afford your rent.
That's what I do. It's absolutely stellar that there are so many live concerts, old TV shows, etc. of things that I'm interested in. Maybe if you have interests outside of the mainstream it's safe for now, but sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't download absolutely everything I like in order to avoid a future where more copyright detectin' software and lawyers get involved.

Another angle that's nice about youtube are all the digitized LPs. An awful lot of music never made the jump to CD, I remember how huge the jazz album bins used to be at some record stores.
SpaceX Starlink Mission: Livefeed
I've only had one interviewee dress in a full suit and he was the worst candidate I ever interviewed in my life. Couldn't write a line of Java although his resume claimed he had over 12 years of experience using mostly Java. Knew nothing about insertion time of arrays which I threw as a freebie when I realized I wasn't going to hire him anyway.

It could just show that the candidate is out of touch with the tech scene, which might mean that they're not going to do as well as some other candidates. I do agree it discriminates against those who may not be from the area or from a traditional background, but SV is nowhere as "exactly as judgey as Wall Street."

SV as a whole is way more meritocratic and willing to take a chance on smart candidates. Try telling Goldman that you're a hard working candidate who has been studying up econ and finance textbooks on your own and would like an internship.

Lastly, discriminating against someone for NOT wearing a $1k sounds a lot worse than wearing one. You can always dress down but not everyone can dress up!
There are vast logistics improvements to be had by replacing the old Twin Wasp radials with modern turbines.

Jet fuel is more common in airports than avgas, especially in a military context (this is why all NATO vehicles, including land vehicles, use diesel/jet fuel).

Spare engines and parts are a lot easier to find too. The PT6 turbine is still in production and widely used. The Twin Wasp radial hasn't been manufactured in decades, and I'm unsure if P&W still makes spare parts for it. There are less and less of them in existence every day.

Lastly, finding engineers with the required skills and experience to work on turbine engines is a lot easier than finding them for large radial engines.
Note this bit:

impl<A: Step> Iterator for ops::RangeInclusive<A> {

RangeInclusive<A> implements Iterator only for types A which implement Step. Floating point types like f64 are not Step:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.Step.html

Thus RangeInclusive<f64> is perfectly valid, but RangeInclusive<f64> cannot be used as an Iterator.

See also the bounds on contains():

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/struct.RangeInclusive.html...

f64 is PartialOrd<f64>, so a RangeInclusive<f64> can be asked if it contains a specified f64. This definition would also allow one to ask a RangeInclusive<IpAddr> if it contains a specified IpAddr _or_ Ipv4Addr _or_ Ipv6Addr, since IpAddr is PartialOrd<IpAddr>, PartialOrd<Ipv4Addr>, and PartialOrd<Ipv6Addr>.

Any type A which can be compared to any other type B automatically gets RangeInclusive<A>::contains(B). Anything which doesn't can still be a RangeInclusive<A>, it just won't have contains().
I'd have to understand Malaysian IP laws before I can comment on that, may or may not agree. For Taiwan, I disagree, as Taiwan uses traditional Chinese characters, not simplified Chinese characters. IANAL, so maybe simplified vs traditional doesn't matter either in IP matters, of course.
It’s more like if you got caught cheating during a test you had to stop cheating but kept taking the same test and got credit for all of your previous answers. Equifax still has its past profits.
I've seen this article before, and this part always stuck with me:

> I captured the screen of this home page and produced two files:

> PNG screenshot of the Apple homepage 1015KB

> 5 Second 60fps H.264 video of the same Apple homepage 175KB

> Eh. What? Those file sizes look switched.

> No, they're right. The H.264 video, 300 frames long is 175KB. A single frame of that video in PNG is 1015KB.

The article does go into how and why this is possible (tl;dr H.264 is lossey, png is not), but for the difference in human-detectable quality, H.264 is astonishingly more efficient.
The nightly version of the docs properly document that method, including an example:

Yes but that doesn't really answer my question. My question was if these programs use Python 3 then why would Arch -- which generally has the latest versions of programs unmodified -- have them depending on Python 2. You just explained why depending on Python 2 is not a problem... which is answering a different question.
This sounds super cool and maybe unexpected but can someone dumb it down, they lost me about half way through...
"he did make a million times more risky bet than the typical minimum wage worker"

No, definitely not.

The rhetoric here is missing the nature of power: power gives leverage and enables entities to extract money and surpluses. Knowledge and talent is just one means to power. A more common means is patronage. The highest earning individuals are generally more talented and intelligent, but not that much more so.

Major corps have access to information, systems, lobbying that individuals do not have, any 'salary negotiation' is like playing poker against the house: the tables are tilted.

I think European taxation is excessive after income, payroll and VAT it's well beyond 50% for many income earners (though they get healthcare from that), there's no reason that those earning $1M a year can't pay the tax rates on the books, and opt to hide their money offshore.

Especially in US/Canada where taxes aren't crazy, there's really no excuse for these folks. It's just criminal.
What do you mean by "it doesn't?" For example say I construct a range [INT_MIN, INT_MAX] which should have a length of 2^32. Am I prohibited from constructing this range?
It's funny how quantity has a lack of quality all it's own.

My own take for getting surprised is to check out (usually) European jazz radio stations on internet radio.
TSMC Says It's Not Impacted by U.S. Ban Against Huawei
What gizmodo overlooks is that a Moody's rating is usually related to company debt, which means that a ratings downgrade increases the interest rate they have to pay to roll over existing debt or issue new debt.

Seems like a company with a large debt/income ratio could be crippled pretty fast by a ratings downgrade because it increases the percentage of revenue they pay in debt interest. If they have a high debt load and their profit margins are single digit, they risk ceasing to be profitable, which will tank the stock. It's a spiral.

If they have catastrophic cybersecurity exposure that opens them up to fines, settlements, and customer attrition as a result of an incident like the one that affected Equifax, well that's a target for a fire sale.

It's practically inviting hackers to target companies with high debt/income ratios on behalf of short sellers for that reason. It would be a slow motion car crash that would be hard to time correctly, but the confluence of debt/leverage and security risk seems like a perfect storm.

I never liked that phrase. Which Romans in particular? Rome was complicated as hell and regularly ruled by unpredictable incestuous madmen.

I'd rather not do as the Romans do, whilst in Rome, lest they mistake me for a Roman and I end up dead in some strange political intrigue, possibly featuring a drunken goat.
I specifically called out “Get Out” for that reason. It definitely wasn’t “gold plated”. It was made on a budget of $5 million and grossed $285 million and got great reviews.
Oh come on, make a quick buck and then take the moral high ground to deal with your ignorance on IP laws when your predicted inevitable outcome happens? :) That's way disingenuous. It makes much more sense for them to have thought IP laws there worked like IP laws at home. In fact, they do in effect say that they thought that in the Reddit post.
I like this high-level summary. One thing I'd change though is that the photo loses details in the frequency domain only. In real view it actually gains unnecessary details/noise - it's not that the grill details disappeared, it's the whole image that gained an anti-grill layer. (You can now see it on the smooth part of the laptop)
Yes! In part I kept that ambiguous, because I've observed many edge cases and was trying to capture the overarching theme. The core idea is that often a project is designed without respect to the "design guidelines" that developers are asked to adhere to during implementation. I see SOLID as a set of design AND implementation guidelines; it contains rules for both the global and local systems. I've observed that often, the design of a system framework ignores the design portion, but requires the implementation portion (I've done it myself, and wondered why my project turned into a hot mess even though I followed all the rules!).

With SOLID, complexity is pushed out of individual components and into the global scope. Instead of having a component manage multiple responsibilities, it must have only a single responsibility; now you have multiple components each managing single responsibilities. Some problems that can arise from this are multiple classes that have shared or overlapping responsibilities, classes that only handle edge cases, data innaccesibility, data and code duplication... This is different than (but related to) abstraction, in that you aren't hiding implementation, instead you are dividing it. With that division comes some non-trivial overhead, which the global design of the system needs to have planned for. This is not necessarily a bad thing; it reduces the burden of designing each individual component, while increasing the burden of designing the global system to manage how the components must interact.

If, in designing a system using the SOLID principles, you do not plan for how much of the complexity is being pushed towards the global scope, you can have a huge codebase that isn't cohesive enough to function as a whole.

That might've been too much elaboration, but it is kind of difficult to explain a portion without being thorough.

That's just not true - VLC has many more features than all the web-based (or "app"-based) popular streaming players. Granted, I checked and my VLC does not have "thumbnail scrubbing", but although that is nice, I don't think this is a big deal and if it's really popular, it will be added to VLC (or it may already be there, I did not check).
