W3C or WHATWG these days. One browser tries something and then another one decides to implement it, and someone writes up a spec.

The DOM APIs grew slowly mostly because of the general stagnation in the browser market, but they have been a long-lived, relatively successful API on which popular things like jQuery (or its competitors) could be based.
Its crazy how much Microsoft et.al spend on marketing their open source projects. Have anyone had any luck selling their OSS to a big company in order to keep working on it?
I agree. I kind of hate to say this, but Perl (5) got this right by having an explicit concatentation operator for strings (given how common they are in many programming tasks), and then a separate addition operator.

I would characterise it as option 3

- Spend $1.5 million maintaining the current system, but as bits get updated keep in mind the system that you'd like to have in 10 15 years time.

You're going to have to replace the system within 300 years anyway, you aren't saving that money, every feature you add that is reliant on the old system is literally technical debt, because eventually you'll have to rewrite it for the new system.

I'm not even saying you need to have a new system in mind, just keep in mind that you will be moving to a new system, so code appropriately.
For the same reason the spouse would be taken in, questioned, and possibly passport taken away in the US - to ensure the spouse doesn’t know anything of interest to investigators.

I mean, let’s not be daft. If Snowden hadn’t shielded his g/f as well as he did, Ms. Mills would have never been allowed to leave the US.

She either would have been charged with espionage, or for breaking one of the innumerable laws we all break in a daily basis.

Looking at the website of OP, they agree with you in the classic definition of Ken Burns effect, and call this "3D Ken Burns".
Anecdote: I visited China in July for 3 weeks. I'm an American. They let me leave.
I only wish I could believe more fiction. As I've grown older I have so much less patience for pointless fiction. I want there to be a cohesive story and compelling idea or unexpected consequence rather than random events happening to random subjects.

Netflix is the worst, there's no internal consistency or adherence to genre and the story goes out the window about a quarter way through. Dream logic is ok, no logic is not.
Sticks, mud pies, trees, roof tops, yards, roads, sidewalks. All fun too, thanks nature and society.
I'm not sure that they give the BBC a run for its money - you're talking about quite a lot of Beeb output ;-) I agree that they are of an unusually high standard.
Right, changed my comment
Because the situation can be exploited, the government just needs to twist and push the story so the next actions related to China are motivated or citizen get distracted related to the real reasons behind the actions.
Even if she were 18 or 25, it wouldn't really change the morals of the issue - maybe the legality, but forced sex is wrong regardless of the age of the victim, and it's not in any way reasonable to argue that he wouldn't have known the circumstances.
> so much other software has been built to interact with and rely on the mainframe over the years

So just... have the new server expose itself over the TN3270/TN5250 protocols, such that these interoperating systems see what they expect to see? (You could even build the new system as a regular REST API or something at its core, and then build the TN3270/TN5250 exposure as a separate gateway service on top, such that it'd be easy to shut it off later if everything finally moves off it one day.)
In some industries it's much more than 7%. Luckily once IE11 is EOL (which IIRC is in January) I'll be able to block requests from that browser, but only because I can use the argument "this browser is EOL and using it is a security risk." Not every business has that luxury.

How in the world do your kids get together with friends without screens? Do they have prior notice?

Serious question. I'm 40 and couldn't do that without a screen. I go off and play board games with some folks and we usually (but not always) use facebook to plan. A couple of folks don't have social media (by choice), but those folks aren't exactly taking phone calls nor does anyone really appreciate unexpected visitors. (I personally won't answer the door if I don't expect a visitor).
If I would have seen this five years ago, I would find it cool but it is a hard sell now. So many similar projects are around now for conveying basics of ML mixed with a pinch of fun elements.
My first user is always myself. I write code to make my work easier. It grows over time and then I start thinking others might also find it helps them with similar work.
Better than the Fall 2015 6.046J where the TA admits he's never implemented the tree algorithm he's teaching in code. At MIT. As a graduate student.

I am not sure if this is indeed get bored. When I read the title and remembered my childhood, get bored meant that I would find a rock or watch ants. But mostly, get anything that resemble a sphere and play soccer
Absolutely. I am blown away by how my 6 y/o daughter, raised so far w/ no "screens" and minimal exposure to video, can figure out how to make almost any natural material into a toy. It has been a challenge to keep rocks and plant matter from filling up our house.
Oh absolutely they do. That's why they reserve the right to turn off the civilian signals in an extreme time of war.

In reality would that happen? Probably not. There are multiple GNSS constellations these days, so just denying GPS is probably not a safe bet (you can buy civilian uBlox chips for $<50 that are tri-band...)

I love reading about the military aspect of GPS. It is really fascinating the use-cases they plan for. Hopefully they never actually are used in such an extreme scenario.
How is this different than the US requiring passport surrender of a citizen charged with a crime along with their father?

The US doesn’t let dual citizens just fly away when charged, why should China?
Pretty much. My question is who would enforce such bizarre terms anyway?
Do you really need to update every second? Plenty of clocks have only an hour and minute hand.
They probably didn't want to waste ad money on a movie they knew was gonna flop. The money they expected to make with this wasn't from sales at the box office, but rather from financial contributions from China.

Same thing happens in real estate. Americans work with Chinese investors on a real estate deal. Buy lots of land. Promise to build lots of houses. Pay themselves 6 or 7 figures per year to work on the project. Ultimately, however, nothing sells. Few or no homes are built and the Chinese investors are left with nothing, while the Americans putting the deal together are millions richer for it.
I suspect that, if you read those “custom versions of read(2) and write(2)”, you’ll discover that those APIs “leave something to be desired”.

For example, let’s say you want to write a 100 byte struct to file, and write returns 0 and sets errno to EINTR, or return 67 and keep errno as is.

Why would you write the code to handle those cases in every function that writes data? How would you fix all those entry points if you discover your handling is buggy, or that some commonly used file system is buggy, and you need to implement a workaround?

Similarly, if you read those 100 bytes, your call may return 67 and update the file position. You need code to recover from that. Why duplicate that throughout your code?
It’s right there in the sentence you quoted (albeit awkwardly written)! The spouse is also suspected of spying!

Do you think the Chinese are idiots? Or that we don’t do the same??
I'll ask you an open question: do you need to use SIMD to get maximum speed on this problem? I think the answer is yes, but only because with a certain level of MLP you run out of architectural registers and your compiler starts swapping things to stack. Daniel thinks (hopes?) the answer is no, and that with sufficient finesse you can get the same speed without SIMD.

The problem (well, at least very similar problems that we've thought about more) ends up running at very low IPC, with most of the time being spent waiting for data from RAM or L3. You can fit a lot of extra instructions in without seeing a slowdown. If there is a benefit to SIMD, both of us think it will be a fairly small effect, and only at very high levels of MLP. But we'd be excited to be proven wrong!
This is still a little weird to me, given that AMD uses TSMC to make their chips. So isn't it TSMC who is capable of making sub- 12nm processors, or are TSMC depending on the AMD designs to be in a certain way?

Failing everything else, Intel could pay TSMC to make a 7nm processor for them, no?
1) There are Xeon Scalable processor packages with 48 and 56 cores on the market, thus with 96 or 112 simultaneous threads. Cloud providers here probably sell that thread as "one vCPU", although

2) ... they could also time-share one core to as many virtual cores as they like, even more than the real number of simultaneous threads. This seems to make sense for better utilization of part of capacity, but I have no idea if they do it. Probably not for marketing reasons, they don't want to support an idea that their vCPUs are weaker than those of the competitor. Small providers are more likely to do this, I think, much less concerns about PR.

3) Big GAFA-like corps have access to specialized hardware from Intel. The cpus they operate may not be publicly known.
Well, Spectre affected pretty much all processors except very slow ones (Cortex-A53) :)
> the success of OS projects

How do you define success in this context?
Sounds good but it's that kind of thinking that leads to the current situation (I mean this literally) . School is basically glorified babysitting at this point.
In reading the comments here it is clear that there are some that do not understand the true difference between running a workload on a rack of servers vs a mainframe. In the case of something like a x86 cluster you need something you can chuck. That is not necessarily true in with a mainframe. You run a "job" and it sorts it out for you. You can even walk up to the mainframe and pull out the cpu the job is running on and nothing happens. It keeps working.

Before anyone starts a huge debate on everything I said it wrong, please understand I know it is not exact. This is just a base level set of one of the main structural differences in the HW/OS that everything is derived from.
Even GPT-2 can’t create long, coherent stories; I doubt that such an AI which can explain things and draw useful pictures exists.

Hello HN.

I'm new to LaTeX. It was taking me a while to lookup common notation, so I took a lot longer (https://xkcd.com/1205), and built a search for it.

The newest trend in banks is to migrate to AWS. See recent Capital One hack. They view it as a combination of commodity hardware with cheap software.
But you don't have to do nothing to be creative. Not even with children.

Learning helps creativity. So does doing low-attention sorts of things. For example, going on a quiet walk or cleaning house. And seriously, going on a walk is a good habit for kids to have. Anything that might make a kid curious is also something that helps with creativity.

Additionally, an adult simply asking curiosity-invoking questions aloud helps develop those sorts of thoughts. Same thing for explaining why you do whatever hobby you do. If you don't have an offline hobby, start one just to be the good example.
I too have had this experience. Now I always sample one from a pack before I buy. I used to feel guilty doing that, but the quality varies so much and I got sick of wasting fruit purchases when they turn out to be sour or gross. Same with grapes and blueberries from Costco.
Church, college lectures.
I too have taken a couple of college statistics classes. I think you're misunderstanding/misrepresenting things a bit here. Yes, the internet at large loves to dismiss survey results for any and all perceived flaw, no matter how minute. That said, they aren't always wrong.

In this particular case, everything you've said is true only if you assume a reasonably random sample. If your sampling method itself introduces biases, no increase in sample size is going to eliminate those biases.

I'm not enough of a statistician to feel particularly confident in passing judgment over the sampling method here, but I think it's fair to question it, despite the fact that I'm ordinarily far more likely to take the statistics at face value than the average internet commenter.
Most Americans visit even North Korea as part of tour groups without issue... up until that kid decided to steal propaganda. These scary stories are vastly overblown. Barack Obama’s half brother lives in China... if nothing has happened to him frankly you are nowhere important enough for anyone to care.
An Opinionated Onboarding Setup for New Hires at Microsoft
Technically that would mostly work but IT leaders at banks and insurance companies would rather pay high premiums to IBM then stick their neck out endorsing anything risky. Renegotiating with IBM is the safest career move at such places. Cloud is steadily edging out mainframes at banks but a lot of old guard IT leads are circling their wagons around old blue because learning how to do high resiliency on cloud is new and scary, but old blue is safe and well understood.
My suspicion is that the majority of the people who could benefit from this are considered expendable by their employers, and most of the rest couldn't afford it anyway.

Innovation Is the Only Way to Counter China
MAME is a kind of special case, where the same group of people write the emulator and catalogue the ROM dumps. For most emulated platforms, there's more than one emulator, and often more than one popular emulator, so deciding on a new archival format is a major political endeavour, on top of the existing tricky technical problems.

Also, even MAME is not immune to political ROM-format problems. The format MAME used was designed to help people maintain and update arcade boards, which often had the ROM chips socketed so they could be replaced by the end user and so "a set of ROMs for a game" was a reasonable thing to talk about. MAME uses that format for every platform they support, but most home consoles were not designed to be end-user modifiable, and sometimes the same game shipped on different sets of different sizes of ROM chips (say, a 4Mbit chip, or two 2Mbit chips) depending on what was cheapest at the time.

MAME as a collective project doesn't have the will to use different formats for different platforms, and home-console emulators aren't interested in following MAME's arcade-based conventions.

Having nothing to interact with is also fine: one can play games like tag, hide-and-seek, "20 questions", etc. One time my oldest decided he'd like to go outside and make note of all the flowers he found for a while. He just kept track in his head and told us all about it after he came in.

"rebuild the entire infrastructure from the ground up in parallel"

I wasn't thinking that. I was thinking more like when you add a new feature, fit it into an API that is portable. Or add a translation layer so the feature can be written how you would like system to be in the future, but it works on your hardware today.
Authoritarian regime... actually much like Singapore. Let’s not forget South Korea was literally a dictatorship up until 80s.

Meant as an edit:

I don't think the problem with 17th century prose is density either. Rather, it's archaic vocabulary, idioms, and grammar. I've recently been reading through an anthology of English renaissance drama and my impression is that once you become acclimatized to the common archaic vocabulary and grammar, the idioms remain as biggest impediment to understanding. Consider:

> "Art thou in thy wits? I tell thee I must have a pair of shoes; dost thou mark me? A pair of shoes, two shoes, made by this very shoe, this same shoe, against tomorrow morning by four o'clock. Dost understand me? Canst thou do't?

He's asking for a pair of shoes, and questioning whether his request is understood. It's not a particularly complex or information dense paragraph, but it could be hard to understand if all of that archaic vocabulary is obscure to you. In many ways, this makes it very similar to your average bash script. Saying something simple, but made to seem complicated by archaic terminology.
I have the exact same problem: two (Rockboxed) Sansa Clip Zips I've taken everywhere for years, from snowy mountains to the beach; one is already dead and one about to take its final breath. They're not available anymore for purchase and the few used ones remaining in still good condition are sold ridiculously overpriced.
To me there's only one solution: Either develop a a player from scratch or port a subset of Rockbox (no games, FX, etc.) on a small SBC plus added display, DAC, SD and LiPo circuitry. The SBC could well be the ESP32 which would add wireless functionality; *Pi and other Linux boards would be tremendously overkill for the task.
Shouldn't be that hard for skilled developers, and it would surely sell among those of us who don't want to use a cellphone.
You can instrument the container itself (the environment in which RCE against PHP would provide an attacker).

You can't instrument the container engine or the host server, because AWS owns the security of those. But AWS will do a better job with those than you will, or at least, your whole usage of AWS is premised on that.
Or any other place where privacy is important and you want to share a crowd shot or want to take a shot where there are unfortunately people in the background. Which is pretty much the default for me in public settings / where I don't know every person in the picture personally, but in particular, hacker conferences are the kind of place that comes to mind.

I guess the photographer should (for the foreseeable future) always double check that it got each of them (perhaps by having the algorithm produce a second picture with green squares around detected faces), but that's peanuts compared to having to open up an editing program and blurring the region or even each face individually (try doing that on mobile), and blurring looks much worse.

Every time the topic of battery life on smart watches pops up, there's a debate: does a battery life of more than a day actually help?

Some argue that the daily habit of charging makes it easier to remember to do it, vs a less frequent schedule.

And people do use the Apple Watch for sleep tracking, charging it during showers and other preparations in the morning or at night, so the battery life is good enough for effectively 24 hours of use.
My nephews, during no-screen time (which, for them, is usually a light punishment for something; my sister and I have not reached the level of practice that GP discussed), usually just go to their friends' houses. Their furthest friend lives about a mile away. The rest are nearby.

For some reason, when this happens, they usually don't end up just doing screen stuff with their friends. No idea why. Maybe exercising to bike/walk to their friends' houses gets them in a play-outside mood?

I admit it would be trickier for more remote kids, but in that situation asking a parent to set up a play-date (or making a no-screen exception for calling friends on the phone to schedule) would likely work well.
