They also had shockingly bad protection on the serial port from induced surges, eventually we brought the full service manual so our in house electronics shop should could fix ours.
This kind of attitude towards children baffles me. It was always very clear where the authority lay in my family, and it certainly was not in my childish hands. You did what you were told, and with not too much grumbling. It's a much more effective system, by all indications.
Yes. That is why x86 became so successful and why Windows is so much loved by big corporations.

So instead of using the die space saved by removing 32 bit support and using it for some combination of increasing performance, improving battery life, decreasing die size etc they should have left it and suffered? How well is Intel’s backwards compatibility strategy working on mobile where they are basically non existent?

Also, Apple sells more devices with ARM chips than all of personal computer manufacturers combined, the performance of their ARM chips is competitive with Intel’s chips except for the server chips and they use less power. It doesn’t seem to be a winning strategy to keep backwards compatibility forever.

So backwards compatibility hasn’t exactly helped Intel in mobile - which is a much larger market than the desktop/server market. Even there PC manufacturers are trying to move to ARM for price performance and energy savings.

Yes, Microsoft still sells 32 bit Windows. But it can’t take advantage of modern processors - and by “modern” I mean even my circa 2009 Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz Dell with 8Gb of RAM (running 64 bit Windows 10) that served as my Plex server until earlier this year.

How has backwards compatibility helped MS? Apple was able to port their core OS to 128Mb RAM/400Mhz iPhone back in 2007. Since then, they’ve ported it to everything from watches, tablets, and set top boxes. Microsoft has tried and failed in each of those markets.

Sorry, I'd assumed your first comment which diffed 2013 and 2016 was a comprehensive summary. Now it looks like we're shifting the brackets around, and I'm not sure where the goalposts are. I'll defer to the study in my original link.

If this actually goes anywhere I personally wouldn't shut the company down silently. I'd have contact information for everyone involved to help them prep for its sunsetting.
In all fairness, significant HQ moves often have a major cut in headcount as a well-understood side effect if not an actual motivation.

But, yes, companies can and have moved their HQs a lot more than ten miles. It's probably harder in an industry and at a time when more people figure a job with a given company is pretty ephemeral though.
First of all, Firefox Preview (code name Fenix) is Mozilla's effort to create a new mobile browser, so this is unrelated to which version of Firefox you run on your desktop.

Second, it's called Preview for a reason. Support for add-ons is currently being implemented, so if you install Firefox Preview on an Android device right now, you won't be able to use uBlock Origin yet.

Third, the built-in tracking protection blocks most ads (at least on websites I frequent EDIT: which do not include Google or Facebook etc.), so you can already try it out if you just want to see fewer ads and don't absolutely need uBlock Origin.

Inequality is the problem because everything happens in a single market. Rich people push the real estate market high and suddenly no affordable housing exists.

I actually think that the FED is largely responsible for this setup. Unintended consequences of QE and cheap money - everything is now expensive. Same as the seeds for 2008 were laid out in the post-dotcom ultralow interest rates.

> On the other hand, this is what I use BitWarden for, so my wife has access to important accounts and vice-versa. BitWarden does provide free shared passwords for 2 users.

I just set my wife's email as the recovery address for my Gmail, figuring she can reset most of the important stuff from there.

But that's only a solution for "get into my accounts when I'm dead", not "share access to these things right now", and doesn't have the added benefit of a relatively secure password manager. And it ties you to Google, which may not be the wisest decision (but of course you could do something similar with a different service).
> we may invest [...] too little in infrastructure, education ...

It sounds like a nice-to-have-thing but how on earth does that actually follow? The US spends enormous sums on education, the 2nd most of any country on earth (behind Norway) and ~33% more than OECD average. How can you be sure the problem is that we are investing too little?

Investment hardly seems like the issue, ROI seems a lot more pertinent. For infrastructure, even heavily unionized countries can build public works projects like subways at far less cost than the USA.

So its hard to buy that we invest too little per se. We get very little for our investments, whatever they are, which makes people in-my-opinion rightly cautious about investing more until some honest root cause analysis of the poor ROI is performed and openly acknowledged.
As I said, the compiler did generate FMA instructions. These are SIMD instructions, so yes, the program was vectorized.
Once const-generics are released, I feel like you should be able to create your own "fixed-size slice" type, which uses the constant parameter for "bounds checking". I imagine that would be a lot more optimiser-friendly...
Vim binds are definitely great but using terminal Vim is more than just the mappings.

Everyone uses Vim differently but I tend to combo it with tmux. For example I often have 8+ active tmux sessions (1 for each freelance contract I'm working on + personal stuff). Each tmux session has 1 or more Vim instances running, so switching between each session is 1 key stroke away. It's effortless to jump between them and the state of those sessions are always around (even persisting across reboots with tmux-resurrect). It also takes up close to no resources (a few megabytes per Vim instance).

Much of the back catalogue is already available open access direct from the Royal Society:

Most of our oldest content is now freely available, specifically, all papers older than 70 years. In addition, papers published between 10 years ago and either 12 months ago (biological sciences) or 24 months ago (physical sciences) are freely available. For Biographical Memoirs all issues are now freely available, apart from the most recent issue.
If you're sticking with recurring, you'll still need to keep the data for some time after the payments stop. The PR will be disastrous for you if someone passed away, and therefore the payments stop, and then all of their data is lost (worse: now imagine consequential financial loss from the loss of their data). I don't know whether you could be held liable for that or not.
I've counted four different people who announced they work at Gitlab, in various different departments of the company.

This thread was detached by rabid mods, but in response to your comment, why is Bloomberg not entitled to charge for their self-produced analysis?
Congress is responsible, because the reason the Fed had to push so heavily on blunt monetary policy levers is because Congress has been asleep at the switch on more targetable fiscal policy remedies to economic problems.

Monetary policy alone is useful for smoothing some of the edges of business cycles, but it's not—and not intended to be—the alpha and omega of economic policy.
>The scores are voluntary

For now.

>people’s scores are not impacted at all by data from the private sector.

Totalitarian governments operate on the ideology that the state is total - there is no such thing as life outside the state. Of course they don't care about the private sector, because the notion of private life (both in China and elsewhere) is on its way to extermination.

>What makes up ‘positive credit’ is the most subjective

This is the fatal flaw. The government has no choice but to be the arbiter of truth - they must turn arbitrary categories into measurements of individuals' values to society. It will never be otherwise and that's why social credit is doomed.
I'd be curious if Apple had anonymous telemetry that showed what people were picking for their phone unlock PINs. Everyone I've ever seen set one does this same type of thing, either all one number, or they draw a line through the middle. The more advanced maybe use a date like their birthday that they can actually remember.

It's just security theater.

my best guess is that you can't do recursive enums without explicit boxing [edit: or other forms of indirection,
like &T]¹. so you can't do this:

enum List<T> {
Nil,
Cons(T, List<T>)
}

instead, you have to box/reference-ify the recursive occurrence:

enum List<T> {
Nil,
Cons(T, Box<List<T>>)
}

so in certain circumstances it doesn't let you "coproduct" two types together, you might need to modify one a bit, which makes it a technically-not-exactly-a-coproduct (i think). a bit of a stretch but it sort of makes sense next to a by-reference-only ML langs where you can (co)product anything as you please

(btw, it's the same for recursive products)

I agree that the tone of the blog post was more like an announcement than a proposal.
And then when you try to google for information on these things, you end up reading the very same short articles.
By purely speculating, just like the article, I guess everything that can't be replaced by robots (or let me reword it: isn't as fun without humans) will be left for humans. Meaning arts, entertainment, sports and artisan products. Probably influencing too and whatever jobs our fledgling mind-control apparatuses require. Sure not everyone can make the change so I guess they'll end up doing maintenance work or something, social services or just sit on their ass playing video games. I don't think the problem is as bad as it seems, I mean I can't recall anyone complaining about doing less mundane work. In my mind the problem isn't that there isn't enough "work" for everyone. We can make up more work given enough time. It's the redistribution of the wealth of the owners of these mega corporations that is the most puzzling problem. Especially if all the wealth falls to only a couple of those companies.

Going forward I think whatever that is what makes us human will be our most prized commodity. In a world full of synthetic products it's the ones that are real which stand out. And if we can't tell the difference between synthetics and reals, well. I guess we are screwed then. Perhaps it's just the next step in our evolution to become one with the machine, legacy flesh-versions will be left as curiosities, put in museums.
You haven't read some of the amazing books that are out there if you've got that attitude.
>She should use 鹄(swan) instead of 鹅(goose). Yes people don't usually use this character for swan

I've never heard of or seen this character until today.

>most people know of it as it's part of the idiom: 燕雀安知鸿鹄之志.

"Most people" usually mean "people around me", so it's not indicative.

There are plenty of ethnic Chinese people not living in China who might not have heard of this idiom -- in part because their knowledge of Chinese may not be as deep as people who've gone through the Chinese education system -- and one of them had probably advised Swanson on her name choice.
Public transport infrastructure is definitely a global issue.
Donations are probably better, because while that hardware is helpful, it's the ISP connections that are hard to come by. If you host a Tor exit node on your home network connection, Comcast is likely going to shut down your service for abuse/TOS violations. Having some rack space in a datacenter is far more valuable and better supported by donations.
It's fine to release new versions, just don't trash the existing ecosystem by forcing updates.

I'd imagine there's virtually no cases of consumers and businesses voluntarily using arbitration when there was no contractual agreement. Both sides need to agree to use arbitration.

I can dig through the data in a bit: they have the info under "source of authority", which will say whether it was in the contract or agreed upon later.

Maybe but I think people will figure out the talent deserts have more oases than people think. There are more options for talent than just SV. Remember much of the US talent in SV come from other parts of the country. Many would stay local if given the opp to stay local. So instead of drawing talent to SV, SV could seek the talent in those markets (where talent is growing).

This uses the linux specific TPROXY mechanism, if your desktop doesn't run linux you'll need to figure out the alternative.

In /etc/tor/torrc:

DNSPort 127.191.0.1:53
TransPort 9040
TransProxyType TPROXY
AutomapHostsOnResolve 1

Add iptables rules:

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 127.192.0.0/10 -j TPROXY --on-ip 127.0.0.1 --on-port 9040 -p tcp
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 127.192.0.0/10 -j TPROXY --on-ip 127.0.0.1 --on-port 9040 -p udp

Make sure you start tor with relevant capabilities (I use systemd, so here is my override snippet):

[Service]
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE CAP_NET_ADMIN

Split horizon dns to send .onion lookups via the tor daemon. e.g. my dnsmasq config contains

server=/onion/127.191.0.1

Note that some programs might need some coercing. e.g. firefox needs network.dns.blockDotOnion set to false in about:config (see https://twitter.com/mrphs/status/708548201800982528)

They justify this scepticism with experience from trying to run Objective C code on other platforms:

I am (mostly because I like interesting things) hoping to see the most stupid form of fiscal stimulus in the next deflationary recession - money handouts. It'd be interesting to see what happens if instead of buying $300B worth of bonds the FED with the help of the Treasury just airdrops $1000 into each citizen's bank account. Perhaps start with $100 and see how it goes. Anyhow, not sure if with this polarity the authorities could reach consensus on such drastic measures.

Show HN: Advanced Scheduler Heroku Add-On
The last year I worked hard on launching my first production project, Advanced Scheduler.

> they artificially skew the local economy to cater to them

How is it artificial? It's just an export, like any other. Silicon Valley exports software, Lloret de Mar exports beaches and hotel rooms. Both industries add a demand for local resources and discharge externalities, which can be overwhelming to the local community - or not.

Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are all still here while the incrementalism of the ACA is being torn to shreds. Big battles won, incrementalism undone. That’s exactly what surrender and defeat looks like.

Thousands upon thousands are being denied care, bankrupted, and killed each year by the American healthcare system. This is the status quo you’re defending. People going broke because they have a disabled child, rationing care and medicines they can’t afford at great harm to themselves.

These people, the people being ground up by this system, aren’t interested in pausing things so you can get more comfortable than you already are with this state of affairs.
