I assure you that UX designers (the real ones, at least) would love to get out of their ivory towers.

In every job I have had, I have begged to get out and talk to users before doing anything else. However, that idea makes folks in charge nervous. It's expensive. It might reveal secrets(?). The users might get annoyed.

One of the biggest issues is that time spent on research is time when the developers can't be developing. That seems to trump everything.

No.
Does anyone know anything similar for C/C++?
It's probably a sensible choice for other reasons too: if that had been the explanation, it would have introduced a Chekhov's gun that would probably have to bear plot relevance later, but the battery idea is too mundane for that.
Pretty sure I read something similar on IMDB or a site like that. Instead of a battery it was supposed to be about using human brain for computation power a la seti@home

> Expenditures correlate very poorly with school performance.

Well yeah, because there's a huge amount of noise combined with active efforts to spend more on worse schools in the past few decades. I'd like to see an example study with "overwhelming" evidence that expenditures doesn't help.

I don't understand this pessimism re: the role of schools. The science isn't anywhere nearly as settled on "schools do not create change" as this comment seems to imply.
Re 1:
I’ve always felt like the easiest approach to this is to replace all the dishes with a standard size largish ceramic cup, then have a machine full of spinning brushes (like what’s used to clean water bottles sans the handle) that scrub all the surfaces (maybe one on the inside and three or so outside) while running soapy water over it. Then you can immediately just put it away.
It bears mentioning that the Wachowskis are both trans women, and there's reason to believe that Lana came into that realization around the time she was working on the Matrix films, although it was well before she publicly came out.

If you choose to read the first film as an allegory for that experience, it really brings the philosophy that this article kind of haphazardly throws around into focus. I suppose it also helps to have had that experience yourself.

Seen 100 times here and elsewhere, for various price (usually quite smaller than this), I don't think any of them ever took off, mostly because people refuse to pay for such a service. While ultimately, when you pay (way more) for a personal trainer, it's the same thing, it's more defundable psychologically. This is like asking people they are lazy fucks who need to spend 50$ to be reminded / forced to do stuff.

There are exceptions. For example Venice is VERY touristic, but also for good reasons IMHO.

So, we just finished extricating this from our codebase.

My main issues:

1) The underlying primitives weren't really meant for this use case. They don't guarantee that a copy is flushed to disk, just that the canonical copy remains in RAM.

2) By creating pointers that are ostensibly supposed to be used, that aren't known to the GC, you're opening yourself up to a whole lot of use after free vulnerabilities, and just generally breaking the memory safety of the runtime. The other main area where you deal with raw non-GCed pointers like this is CGo, where you generally marshal into the GCed world as fast as you can for the reasons above.

3) What's the actual threat model here? Is stopping people from reading a core dump worth breaking the memory safety of the runtime?

It's obvious you've never been to a place that has a wall of tripods setup. It doesn't have to do with being stabbed by a tripod, it has to do with a human taking up way more space than they should be in a crowded area. You're free to take up as much space as you like, but if you don't like people being upset at you (rightfully so?) then don't?

Let's take your tripping argument at it's face value, does tripping + trains sound like a good idea?

The better take is, if you don't like the rules you can simply leave.

So Matrix has a bunch of enterprise integration support either in existence or in the making.

In terms of audit compliance for E2EE, there are three main options:

a) Turn it off (as per the parent post); there isn't a button for this in synapse but would be possible to add, albeit technically an abuse vector given it is effectively a downgrade attack.

b) Add an audit user to rooms which need to be 'on the record'. This is our preferred solution, as it makes it crystal clear to users as to which conversations are on the record (and whose record!) and which aren't. One could run such a user via a client like https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon, and have the server autoinvite them into rooms which need to be recorded.

c) Add an audit (aka ghost) device to users who need to be 'on the record'. For instance, you could use pantalaimon to log in as a given user and record their messages. The audit device will appear in the E2E devices for the user, and once cross-signing lands, could be signed by the user (or their sysadmin) to be trusted. However, we're not keen on ghost devices in general - we've built all of Matrix's E2EE trust model to protect users against unexpected devices being present in their rooms, so we'd recommend audit users instead.

In terms of LDAP integration - there are more and more enterprise integration options appearing; for instance, ma1sd is a maintained fork of mxisd, and we're working on better LDAP bridging for Matrix in general. We want Matrix to work in an enterprise environment, so if people see stuff missing, please yell.
I'm pretty sure modern USA passports require fingerprint data. They at least have the pokeball symbol signaling that it contains biometrics.
Catalunya isn't a little province either - in fact much of the issue is because it has a large amount of the GDP.

I'm English but was living in Scotland at the time of the referendum there (I abstained) and having been living in Barcelona since (including the vote here).

I'm not sure if independence would be good or not in either case (thus why I never voted) but I hope the UK Government never tries the sort of violent voter suppression I saw here.

I hadn't looked closely yet. The values are remarkably consistent (and low) since 1973, with the high-water mark for "Great deal/Quite a lot" being 34%, in 1975. Presently 23%.

Compare at 68% for small business.
Well in my 'head-canon' the way it comes up later is how these people are able to influence the matrix with superpowers. They themselves are part of the computational network that runs the simulation. A sort of p2p mesh multiplayer game. In this scenario - a single client might be able to influence their immediate surrounding if there aren't enough redundant checks in place.
Agree on iOS 6. For me it's not that the later versions don't offer good and useful features. It's just that I'm disgusted everytime I have to look at that god aweful UI. Jonny Ive truly has no taste.
One, on Mac and Linux it's more involved.

Two, I'm talking about client libraries, not web browsers. Every client library (including those used by web browsers) is perfectly capable of passing a query parameter. Most can pass cookies or custom headers. Not all of them can pass client certs.
> Any idea why this is flagged?

In my experience, anti-Apple sentiment tends to get either downvoted/flagged to oblivion or upvoted through the stratosphere. I suspect it's due to Apple being a particularly polarising firm: those who like it, love it, while those who dislike it, loathe it.
Cool!

Here’s a couple thoughts I have, forgive me if you already have these in mind.

Feedback and Controls:
I’ve found that feedback suddenly made a lot more sense and seemed less mysterious once I understood the math behind it.

This is the textbook I used:
Control System Engineering - Nise

And these videos were particularly helpful:
https://www.youtube.com/user/ControlLectures

Regarding Precise Measurement:

It’s hard, something that might not look moving to the naked eye might be vibrating back and forth several uM. I’ve heard that lasers are subject to error from the atmospheres but I’ve never used them myself.

Good luck!

In medias res is great, and The Matrix pulled it off as well as A New Hope, but the Animatrix provides the much-needed backstory to make sense of everything.
It's not technically a feature of the language, as it is not standardized and is compiler-specific.

But thing you are talking about indeed recurs here. The way I typically guess is that new generations of programmers are coming up all the time and may be unfamiliar with some old stuff. Or, maybe even some experienced people who never happened to touch c or c++ [there are more of those as time goes on].
Everyone was fine with IoT until people started calling it IoT.

Back in the day it was just one feature of a product - "can be controlled via RS-232, USB, or LAN".
Deep Learning Lecture Slides [pdf]
In what world would going from 4 cores to 18 cores even remotely matter for web browsing? If you notice a difference in >4 cores for web browsing (and maybe it IS noticeable and I just don't realize it)... then the web's even in a sadder state than I thought. Anecdotally, I had about 20-30 tabs open yesterday on a four-core machine, a couple of those I was actively using (one playing a video), and CPU usage was maybe 25% or less.

Photo/video editing on the other hand will DEFINITELY see a benefit, something I agree with- but I doubt nearly as many people do this as one would think- and again, it's clear from userbenchmark's page of data that the 18-core part in these workloads would demolish the 4-core part...so I don't see a problem.

I guess everyone just can't let go of what the "effective overall speed" number/percentage means. Maybe it's better not to have an "overall number" in the first place, since it can never always be true and is too dependent on the user? I have a feeling the majority of people reading the site are going to look at more detail than a single number anyway. They're certainly more likely to be gamers and/or enthusiasts
The British handed back HK to China and China said they would keep it largely autonomous for 50 years.

>You can absolutely get it and have a serious problem, but once it's gone, it's gone

I've seen firsthand that this is not entirely true. My dad ended up hospitalized for a serious Lyme infection. He had Bell's Paulsy on the right side of his face. A thorough course of antibiotics saved his life. A decade later he still has issues moving the right side of his face, and his right eye tears up every time he chews.

The damage Lyme does to the body can be permanent. That doesn't mean long courses of antibiotics years later will do anything to help...but it's important not to lump the people who have long term complications in with the tinfoil hat wearing nutjobs who never had symptoms of a bad bacterial infection in the first place.

Funny how adding the human element to a tool is the scary part; not the tool itself. It's almost as if the people are the problem; not the tool.

Original Quepid creator here:

Quepid has been really powerful for helping teams bootstsrap on relevance problems. Often we start with a dozen or so queries, get some ratings, create a bit of success criteria and tune in Quepid. You can do this in a 'sprint' like structure, where the next 'sprint' you tackle the next dozen or so queries, ensure the stuff you fixed before is still working, and make progress on the next set of use cases.

The sweet spot here is teams just getting started on the problem. When a team's maturity increases, they start to (rightly!) ask questions on whether the success criteria initially captured in Quepid is correct, needs to be measured even more scientifically (combining engagement, business rules, human judges, etc).

But the takeaway here is before getting a headache about how hard it is to measure relevance, get started on some intuition, and begin iterating and gaining confidence you CAN make progress. Teams ask us all the time how to start with the training wheels before getting to cosmic-brain level status, and Quepid has been a big part of that!
Perhaps I live in a bubble but to me it was pretty clear: In or out.

As for the result not reflecting the people that's nonsense: Everyone with the ability to vote and the right to vote could and should have voted. If they didn't then tough.

If people were swayed by politicians promising one thing or another and all the nonsense that flowed through social media then that's on them.

I don't get this attitude that people have of "oh, it's not fair, we were lied to". We are talking about policicians here: they are only going to say whatever makes them popular and gets/keeps them in power.
This is a management failure. If your manager isn't living up to their promises, they are either incompetent at working the system for their people (and misjudging the situation/their own pull) or they've been lying to you the whole time.

I can't understand how people can still think that technology is somehow going to save us from bad agri practices.

The rise of permaculture/regenerative agriculture practices are some of the revolutions in 'farming' that I believe are what are going to be the basis for people producing food that are reasonable going forward. Cooperating with nature instead of fighting it is continually being proven to be the best practice for growing food from a environmental and deliciousness perspective.

Every time I see an article about farmers having some kind of trouble, their crops are one massive monoculture. It's not natural, it's not sustainable, it's destructive for the environment, and that party is going to be over in the future. Go look at the permaculture forests that people have established and you'll be shocked at the production, lack of work required (after some years, of course), and complete lack of chemical/nutrient input.

Yes, I have had that experience. And how do we know it just "popped up"? Because we can watch our own consciousness, and we can see that it did not originate at the level of conscious thought.
I'll add to the OP that implementing new features isn't the only reason change happens. Many developers and marketers have a fetish for change for the sake of change. There have been many times when a product I use has undergone a redesign, except along with a visual redesign most of its features took twice as long to access. Information that was available with one click now required two or three.

Nice. Seems to beat me. I performed significantly better when I used random.org to generate numbers than when I played with my own attempt at randomness.
I think there are a few implicit assumptions in your post that could be examined for a better proposal.

1. Consensus of what is valid doesn't require a tradable and fungible token so adding that game element is not required for decentralization (and I suspect would decrease the value of the service to increase the value of the game, something people are increasingly complaining about)

2. Most posts on Hacker News are regarding trading information, which is a not a zero sum game, unlike the game mechanics you are proposing. Both sides can be right.
