We have silicon since forever. We pretty much squeezed out any utility out of it, up to a point of making mini brains out of it.

Care to guess how soon we could discover that it's neat material for CPUs if it costed 40k$ per gram?

I recently read article about titanium-gold alloy having some neat properties.

Seems that a fix for that would be to attach a loan/bond to the training that gets repaid by cash or by credits for working at a member employer.
In light of continued questions about demand problems for the Model 3, this comes across as Musk trying to gin up demand from people thinking they "soon™" won't be able to buy a Tesla.
At which point it stops being private and becomes public instead though? And what to do after it happens? Discussing town policy isn’t something that should be kept behind a gate, and especially not Facebook.
Yeah, several of those 'bad' comments are completely inappropriate. I can't imagine how the author even thought of those in the first place.
Ask HN: How to build a simple IDE or GUI wrapper for cmd repl?
I've been working on a project to write a wrapper around a python command line repl application, and there seems to be a dearth of (understandable) resources on the proper scaffolding. Dropping down a level to try to write a wrapper around the Python REPL (open a connection, send code to it, and receive the output) has been similarly frustrating. So far I've looked at Python's subprocess, pyzmq, and pty without getting a sense of what needs to be done.

Anyone know of any good resources, and/or could provide some tips?
I thought that's why edge detection preprocessing etc is in use?

How much metal will they realistically be able to bring back from an asteroid? I don't know anything about this but it seems improbable that we'd go from being able to bring home a few moon rocks right to 700 quintillion dollars worth of gold.
Are you talking about the broadcast attack? This is on signatures, and it seems different from bleichenbacher's signature forgery.

It took me a while to realize it, but one thing I like about Europe is that the financial centers and economically relevant places are centrally located

Compared to US where you have commute across the entire continent to leverage the largest pools and networks

This would be similar to commuting from Portugal to Estonia and thats not a thing.
Probably similar to how the Spanish conquistador's precious metals haul from the New World decimated the economy of Spain: massive supply/demand imbalance.

I recently realized that Facebook is addictive like cigarettes.

Why? Think back 10 years ago when everyone was designing their apps to be engaging, sticky, ect, and judging success based on how long people stayed on their app.

Facebook has turned into the internet equivalent of cigarettes.

What's really strange is the way we all make excuses to continue to use it, kind of like how many smokers make excuses about why they continue smoking.

We're all hooked, even me!

The original claim is just as pointless. The implication that Elixir fixes Erlang's syntax is so commonly repeated without much discussion that it has many folks dismissing the entire language before they learn it.

I think both languages have issues with Syntax but in the cleaner department, I am baffled at the insistence that Erlang is hard. Inconvenient, maybe but most of the features in Erlang are so primitive that there is little to no ambiguity of what something can mean.

Verbosity strikes both (records and binaries in Erlang vs the sigil and keyword heavy Elixir code) and certainly some folks prefer rebinding variables and colon syntax on atoms but it's certainly not without real trade-offs in common idioms (tagged tuples, special casing required for atoms like true, false, nil, interop with Erlang becomes uglier, etc).
Thanks for replying.

Now I'm curious about the things you wanted from Perl that it did/does not provide. :)
Well the pixel density would be usable… if the screen were larger.

It is insufficient to display a page of sheet music.
While it's not learning necessarily, I can tell you that on the days where I get to the gym to do some sort of cardio before work, I can obtain and maintain focus all day, especially if I eat light. As another anecdote, my 10-15 minute bike commute also helps greatly with focus. On days when I get up and drive to the office, by 3:00 PM, I'm dragging.
Yeah. My son isn't quite old enough yet, but I'm hoping to convince him that an HT will be a better investment than a mobile phone (since he could get one way earlier, anyway.)
It's not NTFS that's slow, it's something in the Windows I/O subsystem common across file systems. And it's not that it's slow on small files (the I/O performance is fine), but that there's a large overhead for repeatedly opening and closing files, especially by paths. Apparently Linux gets around this with some sort of inode cache (hashtable?) whereas Windows doesn't implement this for whatever reasons. (Possibly the filter drive model used to support virus scanning etc. doesn't allow it, though I don't quite understand the details of why.) Not even sure Mac is as fast as Linux in this regard.
I thought this one was very balanced actually. Its message was, "you probably don't need [x] (but you may)".

In all honesty, I've seen dozens if not hundreds of solo or small team startups/bootstrappers build a SPA they didn't need to and then fail, in part because they were moving to slowly.
Except that we are not 400 years ago when money was gold.
>Honestly, I wonder what failings I have in a similar vein?

Well, since you asked... No looking up please:

- Do you believe recycling is good for the environment? Paper, plastic, glass, aluminum.

- What various ways to die should you be concerned with: medical errors, serial killers, sharks, lightning strikes, drowning in bathtub, police killing, flu, inattentive driving, plane crash, terrorists.

- Do you believe the streets are getting less safe in America?

- Do you believe we're losing or gaining civil liberties in America as years wear on?

- Do you believe that fiat money is inherently unstable? Meaning it would crash and burn if people start losing faith.

It's hard to talk about some of these things because people get mad and then signal gets lost in the noise, so I left out some more flamewar-prone, and more interesting, questions. Which is too bad, really.

I'll be back in about 6 hours with answers, or my version of answers anyway.
Economic activity would be a bad choice to tie to representation from perverse incentives. It would encourage outright sabotaging other states to preserve power when it would be more optimal to go with national net economic output instead of "best for my region". Essentially the same issues as regulatory capture but worse. It is also why auctioning off positions of power for fundraising would be a terrible idea - it encourages the biggest vested interest to buy it up and exploit it at the cost of everyone else.
> Could you give an example of how the regs stifle?

As I pointed out just a few days ago, probably most hams worldwide interpret the regs as discouraging any polemic discussion like politics or religion. Since so many hams are elderly, there is also some distrust of foreigners lingering from the Cold War era. So communications, especially international communications, are so often limited to merely exchanging signal reports, maybe some gear talk or weather info, and then it’s 73.

Besides that, amateur radio is a hobby that attracts a lot of socially-awkward anoraks, who are very self-conscious about entering into any conversation deeper than just talking about their gear.

Sure, there is a community of eager ragchewers, but it is not so big comparatively, and even most of those ragchewers probably limit their deep conversations to people from the same country (or even to people from their own local club scene).
There is also an API like this an Android, but some apps don't support filling passwords well.
You may not like my reasoning, but how is my reasoning wrong? Somebody needs to pick up the slack now that Redhat has no interest in funding X. All you're doing is protesting that you don't appreciate this situation, but that's irrelevant.

It doesn't matter who the ones "suffering" are. What do you expect to do, convince me of the moral necessity of supporting nvidia cards so that I turn back time and devote my life to reverse engineering GPUs and implementing FOSS drivers? That can't happen. I don't have the power to support nvidia cards, only Nvidia has that power, and they seem to have no interest in exercising it. It doesn't matter if you convince me that nvidia card support is more important that curing child cancer; the situation remains unchanged. To change the situation you must convince nvidia, complaining to anybody else about it is a waste of your time.

As one of its maintainers I’m partial to rebar3 (http://www.rebar3.org/)

It’s become near-official for OSS Erlang work and the OTP team has moved the repo under their GitHub organisation (https://github.com/erlang/rebar3)

Erlang.mk tends to be the other option otherwise.
Dealing with typos is the sort of robustness that people have, but that these image recognition programs are not displaying.
This is great! There is, however, one potential issue with this implementation stated here:

"Faces are sorted back-to-front in a very approximate way according to the Z centroid".

In certain cases, this can lead to showing the back face and hiding the front face because the centroid position is not sufficient for figuring out the Z order of triangles.

Other than this minor issue, it's a great implementation.
Nah, copper is used for electronics because it has a lower resistivity than gold. It is just as easily recycled, we just don't do it because it is cheap.

They gold plate leads because gold doesn't corrode.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_con...

It doesn't matter much in the long run, but just want to squash out the notion that gold is a better electrical conductor. It isn't.

In fact, where weight matters, aluminum is often preferred over copper. While copper is more conductive, aluminum has a high conductivity:weight ratio (that is, you use a bigger wire, which can conduct more and weighs less than the same resistance on a copper wire).

Gold is the worst of both worlds. It is heavier than copper and only slightly better at conductivity than aluminum.

I wonder how big this sub is. I say that because as far as I know nuclear submarines are all full-sized. But maybe I'm wrong and this is a mini-sub that had a small crew.
These people have no idea what they're talking about. They've been consistently wrong when comparing their predictions to the real world results, everywhere minimum wage increases are actually implemented.
> Seriously, you're blaming the OS because it allows you to run useful software on it, just like a desktop computer.

Unlike a desktop computer Android prevents you from taking steps to protect yourself. Without rooting your phone you can't even install firewalls or prevent applications from ever connecting to the outside world. Google designed their OS to collect and leak your data. It's why their permissions system (even when working as designed) is garbage. Google doesn't want you to have the ability to protect yourself. It assumes responsibility and lets you (sometimes) disable some permissions from some apps (but not others) at their discretion. No one does that on my desktop computers. Most people's phones are filled with apps they don't want but aren't even allowed to uninstall.
What level of power consumption would be acceptable for you in watts per hour?
And more to the point, it's enough to put many many more people off seeing the doctor, even if they could easily afford it, because they think "it's probably nothing so it's not worth it". Inconvenient times/rationing by queueing has the same effect but on a slightly different group of people.

A prescription charge doesn't work in quite the same way because if you are getting a prescription then you already know you need it, unlike going to the doctor.
I think you'll find you're making a mistake, but up to you...
Home Depot non-bulk prices -- the only ones I'm familiar, as I haven't had a need to buy many of them at once.

Also worth noting is that you can wire your circuit in a way that the first one is GFCI outlet, and the subsequent ones are daisy-chained to it, so that all of them are protected by GFCI. Of course, there are reasons to not do it (e.g. it is then quite confusing when the GFCI trips while using some non-GFCI outlet, because it might not even occur to people to check the GFCI outlet which might not even be used), but that's also an option if you want to save money on outlets.

Also, I think the reason for few outlets in buildings is not the cost of the device, but rather labor required to put it in. Connecting wires to the outlet is quick, but you need to also install boxes, route the wire to the boxes, mark and cut the drywall to get to these boxes etc. It can all add up to significant labor time, and if you look at what electrical contractors charge, the cost of the device itself is a small part of it.
Can confirm. Came in expecting the other Photon MicroGUI ("now there's a name I've not heard in a long time"), was surprised/disappointed. Man QNX+Photon made for a nice GUI operating environment. Rivaled only by BeOS on my "GUI environments/systems I wish had made a bigger splash" scale.

We've used the term "garbage collection" in different ways over the years. Some of them include reference counting; others don't. Yes, in CS.
Starting to see these arguments that ebikes should somehow be banned from cyclepaths or bike lanes a lot and not sure I agree at all. Virtually all ebikes sold in North America are limited to speeds achievable on a conventional bike, with most limited to 20mph. An average cyclist on even a cheap road bike can comfortably hit 20mph too if gradient is not too severe.

The faster “class 3” ebikes with 28mph top speeds are already banned from cycle paths pretty much everywhere.

I think we should just be happy more people are getting on bikes regardless. Pedal assist by definition is not a throttle - it’s not like the rider has a gas pedal they can leap on and accelerate like a sports car.

As others have said, I’d much rather share a lane with an ebike than a car or motorcycle! Huge speed differentials in the bike lane at times is already a fact of life given varying levels of rider fitness. Just do what most cyclists/ebikers do already - be a considerate rider.

Your argument that they have worse brakes is especially silly - almost all ebike systems only add 7-10kgs to total bike weight vs equivalent non ebike. There are far bigger variances just in rider weight alone. I’d argue ebikes typically have better brakes given most of them are sold with mid to high end hydraulic discs. Typical road bikes are often sold with significantly inferior rim brakes. Modern bicycle disc brakes are extremely good.
20 years ago, there were less knowledge, less languages ready to do what was needed.

Perl was one of the early languages that was able to achieve a lot in terms of systems administration and web. (and other activities of course)

However years have passed, now there are tons of new languages.

A lot of front-end javascript developers that had no interest in back-end, were given the opportunity to dive in node java-script on the back-end.

Nowadays, java-script, java, c#, php, etc, many other languages can do the same as perl. So there are a lot of choices today.

One fact is, among the perl developers, a lot of them are extremely good with development and nix systems. Others can probably share experiences with other languages ? For example, in a lot of XYZ-java language* teams, there are a lot of incompetent coders ?

Another fact i notice is perl projects need smaller teams compared to that other language. Specially those other languages that hire according to how many certificates the candidate have. In the macrosoft world this is very common, each employee certificate accounts for a total. And this total will determine if the company is "Gold Partner", "Platinum Partner", "Incompetent partner".

In the end, when the client is about to sign the contract to close a project development for a company, the client will search for this piece of text: "Our company is a 'Ultra platinum macrosoft partner'. We have 40 devs and 200 certificates. So you can rest assured that the project will be in the right hands."
Right, that's the point - a dual system can be made entirely workable. You just can't let the freight railroads set the rules like they have here in the US.

I was trying to investigate this about Airbus but without much luck. I even found they use a 80186 with another Motorola processor for cross checking values. I also wonder does maybe Airbus have "more" processors for different tasks? I also read their A340 uses 80386. That might mean they have expertise and groundwork set to migrate the A320 to the i386, of they already haven't (hard to find data). The 'bus is a much more digitalised plane and 20 years younger, I would guess they've got something different or a bit more modern.
Yes that's pretty much how DSTAR got banned in France.

My guess, or hope, for how it'll roll out is something like grandfathering in the closed source copyrighted codecs while banning all future closed codecs. Or sunset the closed source codecs in 2039 or similar.

Also note the non-voice digital modes will be AFAIK mostly unaffected. All the classic modes, the K1JT open source modes for meteor scatter, EME and general contesting, all OK.
There is no shortage, my gf just finished nursing school and can't find a job and many of her peers are in the same boat.

Hospitals don't want to hire nurses because it loses them money. They only care about staying at the federally-mandated minimum staffing ratio, which they can skirt by only staffing adequate numbers when the oversight agencies come around. Seems like this is happening in every industry - CS appears to not want to hire either unless they absolutely are forced to fill a void. They'd rather just have one person do the work of two people since that person won't be able to find a job elsewhere anyway.
So-called satisficers are happier with their decisions probably because they are decisions, that give them a sense of control. "I chose this 'good-enough' option, I will now proceed." In other words, if there exists some better path out there, I don't care, because this is good enough, and I want to proceed. It's all coming from, and directed from, within. You are the agent in charge.

Whereas so-called maximizers are always at the mercy of an external world that might contain a previously-unknown "better" or "best" option that they feel obliged to find. It comes from without; the world is in charge, the vagaries of a perfect ideal are in charge; the person is only hapless and reactive.

Thinking you're in control of your destiny (even if it's not true) is more satisfying for people.
