I'm not really a fan of C for games just due to exploding complexity the moment game logic enters the picture. While the language is fairly clean, I find that it gets messy really quickly once the number of structs and functions starts to take off, and then I end up flipping things over to a reduced set of C++ features.
The West expected India to be a failed state within a decade of independance. There were 584 princely states and hundreds of linguistic, religious and cultural minorities to integrate within one country.

Compare India to Yugoslavia which broke up violently along ethnic lines or to Sri Lanka which had a bloody civil war that lasted 25 years. Or the division of Pakistan into Bangladesh along racial and linguistic lines even though they shared the same religion.

What I fear is that young Indians take nation for granted and don't understand that India's secular democracy is fragile and that it can within a generation 'be broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls'.

That explanation simply doesn't tally with the facts. Trump isn't singling out China - he's also imposing substantial tariffs on Canada, Mexico and the EU. Have they been flouting the laws of international trade?

A far more straightforward explanation is that Trump's trade policy is a) protectionist and b) a means of imposing regressive tax increases by stealth.

If that was the only issue, YouTube can demonetize the content or creator. They already do so for controversial content that advertisers won't abide. The fact remains that people want this content completely gone from YouTube, and preferably the entire internet.

As always when an Ebola discussion happens, I want to recommend people interested in the origins of the disease read Richard Preston's 'The Hot Zone.' It details the history of the disease (as well as some related filoviruses, like Marburg), specifically following several doctors and researchers as they track outbreaks and treat victims.

It was turned into a 6-episode miniseries on National Geographic (just aired last week), but the book is 100% worth the read if you're interested in the topic.
"It would require you to be a competent programmer though." is not blunt criticism. It is simply unkind and unnecessary. You can be blunt without being nasty.

While I do sometimes think reactions on HN could use a little "lighten up already", I agree with 'dang' here. You definitely crossed the line in this case.

Well. Then it would be over time? So they are paid more for the time worked during a protest, but that doesn’t make them “well paid” overall. I guess, I’m not seeing any more data in your comment. But. Even if I grant that they make 80k or 90k (up to 50% increase in base pay of 60k, and I’m gonna suppose the cost of living for those officers is commensurately higher), argument sake, I don’t see that really making a substantive difference in the argument
Well lots of other countries get on OK with parliamentary democracies, I don't think the US system is uniquely reliable in this regard. You'd have to look at the ups and downs of Wiki edit wars, figure out what standards would apply for citations of empirical data as valid policymaking inputs and so forth. I don't think Wikipedia has especially 'good people', just experienced ones and a general agreement to operate within the wiki framework.

It's a laudable project but why are you accepting bitcoin if you're so concerned about the ecological crisis? It seems kind of contradictory, given how bitcoin transactions are so computationally expensive now that they reportedly consume about the same amount of energy as Denmark.
"Their country" seems to imply that it doesn't belong to people who immigrate legally. They're the majority of immigrants despite what people spreading hateful rhetoric try to tell you.

I'd agree with you if Youtube was classified as a publisher, with all the restrictions that entails. They are not.
Every team on the floor is in a semi-enclosed room with an opening into the hallway (no door).

In practice noise doesn't really leak from rooms into the hallway, so it's not a problem most of the time unless something extremely loud is happening, like a dog acting up or someone building flatpack furniture.
This probably isn't for cities. I was at a conference a few years back where Prime Air gave a talk. It was quite a vague talk, but admittedly it was hilarious watching Takeo Kanade grill the speaker on technical details that he refused to elaborate on. Things have no doubt moved on, but they were talking about use cases like delivering to rural areas where people have big gardens to land in. So potentially places where sending a delivery truck miles out of the way would be expensive (e.g. a 20 minute detour to one house). That's where the interesting applications of drone delivery are.

That drone is pretty big, and they're getting extra lift out of the wings which conveniently double as prop guards. Flight time is presumably at least an hour, if it can get something to a customer in half an hour (and has to get back). You'd need quite a few since each drone can therefore only make around 10-20 deliveries a day if they swap out the batteries when it lands. 30 mile round trip range is pretty decent. Also on size - you need somewhere to land it with a few metres wriggle room either side. There's no way that's going into a built up area.

There's no point doing drone delivery in urban environments, the safety case is insane and you're competing with excellent existing delivery channels.
American economic gains are political benefits. But to get there, trade might have to go through a tougher period. It’s a long game rather than simply looking for quick political wins. When the EU tariffs were proposed, EU leaders were really quick to come to the bargaining table, while before that, America just endured whatever tariffs the EU cooked up.

>premium forged aluminum object

Ok, this must be where the confusion is. It's not a fixed stand, nor one with a simple hinge. They showed just a glimpse of a cutaway of the mechanics and gears hidden in support arm. It's not a lump of aluminum, it's hiding some interesting mechanics.

It's clearly over-engineered, I'm not saying it isn't. In typical Apple fashion they decided to go over-the-top in getting a support arm that "feels weightless, moves effortlessly where you want it, and stays exactly where you leave it." That is not trivial while supporting a machined aluminum monitor housing AND is relatively small.
Mother's Day is the biggest day for retailers. I wouldn't say that things typical mothers of yesteryear did were lesser. Speaking as a 43 year our mothers were less in the public eye but they definitely in our hearts.
John Stuart Mill agrees. I bring this up because many of those who wrongly insist that 'free speech' extends even to private companies will reference a 'classic liberal' like Mill, not having read, for example, the following from his "On Liberty":

> It would be a great misunderstanding of this doctrine, to suppose that it is one of selfish indifference, which pretends that human beings have no business with each other's conduct in life, and that they should not concern themselves about the well-doing or well-being of one another, unless their own interest is involved. ...

> We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavourable opinion of any one, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours. We are not bound, for example, to seek his society; we have a right to avoid it (though not to parade the avoidance), for we have a right to choose the society most acceptable to us. We have a right, and it may be our duty, to caution others against him, if we think his example or conversation likely to have a pernicious effect on those with whom he associates. We may give others a preference over him in optional good offices, except those which tend to his improvement. In these various modes a person may suffer very severe penalties at the hands of others, for faults which directly concern only himself; but he suffers these penalties only in so far as they are the natural, and, as it were, the spontaneous consequences of the faults themselves, not because they are purposely inflicted on him for the sake of punishment.
The battleground was fascism vs. capitalism vs. communism. Fascism was, at it's core, reactionairy to the rise of communism and it's dishonest to describe it simply as "white nationalism".

Furthermore, for a "white nationalist" movement they spent a whole lot of time killing and oppressing other "whites".
Genuinely curious - which places charge more than $100 per class?
> This is why I'm so skeptical of the "free college" rhetoric

I assume by "this" you are refering to the OP's statement that "This is what happens when there's 0 pressure on universities to price their programs competitively."

One of the idea's behind free public college is to apply market pressure to private college's, so that they have to price their programs competitively. In a risk free debt financed system, prices will rise, the same dynamic happens for both medical care and real estate.

I am not sure on what basis you think this kind of system would make the problems worse.

Also I am curious, are you in favor of abolishing public high school? What part of your argument against free college does not apply to free high schools? One of the many talking points behind the free college proposal is that in today's job market, a college degree has the some utility that a high school degree used to have.

While I have not tried many “brand” scissors, a Finnish Fiskars has really good ones.
The embedded work was just for an internship at Nokia/Bell Labs. I work at the place where I did my second internship; started doing ML engineering then pivoted to more data engineering work.

You're right about embedded though. Most telecom hardware is a race to the bottom and there were a lot of layoffs at Nokia when I was there.
Absolutely. One strategy we’ve used is to literally put up “Do Not Disturb” signs when patients wanted rest.
The problem isn't an ideological or semantic one but the fact that most news operations don't have the resources or motivation to moderate online commentary effectively, and the cost of poisoning conversation is trivially low.
If you mean "like digital ocean" but you are starting your own VPS company and buying your own hardware, then that depends on how much you have to invest in a legal team and liaison to the various law enforcement agencies. They will want lawful intercept access.

If you mean reselling DO resources, first get in writing from them that this is ok and that they will deal with all the legal issues. I am certain they will not be ok with it. There was a similar setup in Ireland that predictably went horribly sideways and the admin was arrested for facilitating CP and drug sites.
That isn't what I said nor what I meant. They are overstepping on the censorship front by continually constricting their "acceptable" guidelines based off of their very fluid internal rules. "In 2018 alone, we made more than 30 policy updates. One of the most complex and constantly evolving areas we deal with is hate speech" They even state it as a point of pride - they continually shift the lines on what is "hate speech" and because of their market dominance, those they target are effectively shut down entirely just because the execs at YouTube/Google are intent on pushing their political viewpoints into company policy. I'm saying that this behavior shouldn't be acceptable for a company that has such a strong grip on societal discourse. Either curate, publish, and be accountable by law, or be a platform that removes only the videos that break the law and allow users to filter out content they deem inappropriate.
Been there and understand that completely. I transitioned from full time on-site to a remote worker with the same organization which meant that I understood the things I needed to work to replace when I started working outside the office - that was a huge edge compared to folks that joined 100% remote.

While I don't feel pressured to do "more work" necessarily, I think where I have seen intensity increase is in making more of an effort to actually speak to other humans adjacent to your work. This might require taking time out of your day and end up causing you to spend more time.

Overall I find being remote allows you to focus more which means you can often get more done in less time (if you're on maker time) so hopefully this doesn't result in many extra hours.

If you're on manager time (which I often am) then this is a whole different challenge of course, but it's an interesting one.

Mainly I would say it's best to balance your self-pressure to do more (coming from a fellow person who cares). Doing more work probably won't help, but ensuring you have regular touch-points with the right people will go a long way toward people knowing you exist, what your value is, and providing you with context to execute effectively without guidance.

Probably saying something you already know but feels good to type it either way :)
Is there really SSL communication between terminals and base station in the LTE protocol? This seems unlikely because it's below the IP layer. They could of course use openssl for the crypto primitives in implementing LTE but are there vulnerabilities in those primitives that would be fixed by updating openssl?

There could be TLS involved in higher level protocols like IMS though. Or not. Does anyone know if eg VoLTE relies on the network for security or does it run SIP over DTLS or something?
> is Java more prone to these types of issues due to its design?

Yes. Except on the actively powerless languages (mostly C and Go), people write code on other languages with the same flexibility that all that indirection creates on Java, but they use much simpler structures.
Because they will stay in our country and help us develop the most productive economy on earth. imo.
I think it really depends on how you use the “weird parts”. Some of those let you write code much more concisely and effectively. Used in the wrong context, it’s a unnecessary distraction. It also depends on if you want to write “typical code” or code that the competition can’t match.

See Paul Graham’s essay on the Blub Paradox [0], which discusses why some languages seem to have “weird parts” from the perspective of someone who knows a less-powerful language.

It's not really about being lazy, sometimes there is nothing useful to add. I removed some error annotations the other day as they were just cluttering logs without adding usefully to an error for farther down the call stack. Sometimes you don't need to annotate/wrap.
I'd understand the use of this in very spread-out rural areas, but for dense urban areas this is nothing more than a PR exercise to create headlines and improve hiring. Sort of like "self driving cars" and "AI" for Google. You go there to work on exciting stuff and end up getting assigned to some bullshit godforsaken backend nobody wants to work on.

I assure you that if you were to set up a booth in a shopping mall and start screaming slurs and lecturing about how gays and blacks and Jews are undermining the foundations of the superior white civilization, you would very quickly be removed from the mall.
From the article:

> Master’s degrees in fields like computer engineering, education, English, history and math seem to have fewer outlier programs and lower borrowing amounts over all. It’s the less mainstream programs, where vague promises of a lucrative career are easier to make, that seem to encourage irrationally large debt.
Its so concerning that you simplify ridiculously complex issues down to a soundbyte like "islamic radicals were getting radicalized", like the videos are some kind of hypnosis spiral that turns a promising young middle eastern boy into a monster.
Depends on the role, I am a DBA and work totally -remote, and I find it better than getting stuck in an open-plan office with people interrupting me constantly.
There are enough collaboration tools (slack, zoom) to collaborate when I need to. May not work for developers, but our entire team has a choice between coming to work or being remote and they're doing great. Depends on the company culture and will only work with seniors folks.
Very much agree. This type of analysis is hard to quantify but anecdotally I don't know many people who have written Go, Rust or Typescript that would prefer python, ruby, java, javascript or c++ for their daily work after using them.

If you're a lay person like me and you want to make sense of this, read "Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution: The Search for What Lies Beyond the Quantum" by Lee Smolin. It was just published recently, and it anticipates this result!

And if you use 2FA, then it raises the cost of compromising your account to that of a targeted phishing attack at worst. That's an entirely different threat model.

The same goes for my New York English in the South. As long as one speaker is cognisable to the other, the default assumption should be dialect, creole or pidgin, not separate languages.
Opening the door probably costs more in energy (from AC or Heating losses), than the savings on turning off LEDs.

Capital One did this to me once, and refused to restore the use of the blocked account even after I immediately called them and confirmed that the transaction that triggered the block was not fraudulent.

You mean the connection is encrypted, right ? Or was there a typo ?
That has nothing to do with being a remote company. It has everything to do with being a company that has people in more than one location. Most companies (especially in tech) beyond a few hundred employees have multiple locations - sometimes those locations are similar timezones (ex: SF & Seattle), but often they are very not the same.

In my case, my company has offices in San Francisco and Eastern Europe. 10 hours apart. Meetings at 8am for me are 6pm for them. So basically everyone has to compromise somewhat. As long as you go into things with understanding that this is the case, it's not that bad - especially if there is flexibility.

If you're working west coast USA to India (a common occurrence), it's 12.5 hours difference.
What strange irony that you post about it on HN, effectively a detached comment section for a news site. Was that intended?
Regardless, I think you're making the tacit assertion that comments for the news belong somewhere. How? How should its censorship work? Would that take care of the problem?
2-3 hours each way for years? That's pretty crazy. Depending on the road though, you probably had many moments of deep introspection by spending that much time alone in the car. And plenty of time for audiobooks / podcasts. Interesting life!

There are numerous upscale gyms in my area that cost $200-400 per month. The demographic that is considering a Pelaton is probably buying in addition to a gym membership like that or comparing against it.
”Reuters notes that Apple has a second requirement– sorry, ‘suggestion’ which goes beyond this.

Apple Inc will ask developers to position a new “Sign on with Apple” button in iPhone and iPad apps above rival buttons from Alphabet Inc’s Google and Facebook Inc, according to design guidelines released this week.”

If done by the hand that feeds you, the line between “suggestion” and “order” is fairly thin, and ‘order’ could be interpreted as misusing the power they have to push a new ‘product’.

My 26 core lenovo/xeon workstation is quieter than my T450s. The former is exactly the same noise level 100% of the time regardless of idle or compiling code. My thinkpad spins its fans up to a nice hum when compiling code.

Some rackmount server hardware is fairly quite these days too. Variable speed fan profiles and a cool room do wonders to keep the fan speeds fairly low. Probably the noisiest think in my rack at home these days is the Ethernet switch.
Does your friend also object to planes flying over their property?

(I would point out that the main reason people have objected to drones flying over their property is privacy: up to now, the only use-case for a drone is remote viewing – which some would find creepy/intrusive. I would posit that now drones can theoretically offer tangible real-world benefits --e.g. parcel delivery-- this will gradually fade out as an objection for most people - just as most people would tolerate a postman delivering letters to their house.)
It's a great design. My only desire for change really is that I had the z800 which is a bit bigger so I could hold more stuff :)
