I don't know of any books about its development. Looking back I suppose I should have kept a diary. We weren't allowed to take materials home, so I have no documentation.

The 757 was the last airplane designed using paper drawings and wooden mockups. The end of an era :-) Some of the engineers still used slide rules. My lead engineer once said "let me show you how it's done" and pulled out a very nice slide rule in a leather pouch. I made a little show of blowing the dust off of it, and he laughed heartily. He started at Boeing on the B-47 design, and even he had already moved on to calculators.

But nobody used computers yet. I found a PDP-11 in a neighboring building and sweet talked the sysop into giving me an account on it. I'd write my own numerical analysis programs using Fortran IV.

My other lead was an old salt who told me he didn't trust computers, they always produced unreliable answers. But he was a good egg, and said he'd give me a chance. There was some long complex geometrical calculations to be done to prove the elevator linkage wouldn't bind up under load. The usual method was to use drafting tools to figure it out, and he put his best draftsman on the job. I wrote a program to figure it out, and came back with my column of numbers to 6 places. His draftsman compared it with his column, accurate to 4 places.

One of them was off. My lead said see, I told you computers were garbage. I asked the draftsman to recheck that one, and he did, and came back and said I was right.

Ever since then I got the calculation jobs, and my lead would defend me. One day, the CS dept head discovered I'd been stealing unauthorized time on the PDP-11, and I got in trouble. My lead went to bat for me, it went up 3 levels of management, and the top guy told the CS mucky-muck to piss off and give me whatever computer time I needed.

I was only the vanguard of what was to come in using computers to design airplanes.

My experience with that motivated me to ensure D had a first class foundation for numerical programming.
There are probably thousands on Github for the use of teeth-cutting like in the blogpost. I've made one. You just lose interest when you impl the easy/naive stuff and need to actually use a real solution in production.
Tesla doesn't have have a lidar point cloud at all
Don't be dense, the rules are simple. Jokes at the expense of minorities are not to be tolerated. Jokes about pigs are crass but fine. Jokes about the LGBT community or the indigenous people are not. If you are confused, consult any child who will happily explain to you these basic ideas from the modern world.
That’s the point. You train with lidar, deploy with cameras.
Is Electron better than most cross platform alternatives? Yes. Is Electron better than platform's native tooklit? No. Electron apps are easily recognizable because they completely stand out from the platform apps (not in a good way). And there are other concerns that are addressed in the numerous electron threads on HN so I won't list them here.
Ownership. There are other things but this is the single biggest adjustment one will have to make.

In other languages say C++/Go/Python, you have a shared buffer in two threads. Both threads have mutable access to it but you know only one of them is modifying it at any point of time (because you wrote it :) ). This is not good enough in Rust. You will have to prove it to the Rust compiler at compile time that this invariant is true. In Rust you express this using its type system. Syntactically & semantically it is very different than other languages.

The implication of the above is that in Rust you will have think a lot about your code structure & data-flow upfront compared to other languages else you will hit the wall very frequently. Some people say this is how it should be anyway & others think it as impediment to the productivity. Both points are valid in my opinion ... it more of a question of cost vs benefit.
Southwest as far as I'm aware had shown no interest in transatlantic routes, nor do I think they've hit their domestic growth limits - there are still lots of places they don't fly.
People did enter what they wanted. Poster doesn't have control over that. Just has to deal with the results.
To your question, I honestly don't think the WHO would base their definition of "free sugar" on anything with theological underpinnings outside the domain of sound science.
The general assumption was that if Russia ever had attacked then Germany would have been the battlefield. Nobody in Germany expected the country to survive in that case. It sort of would have made sense to try to stop the advance at any cost.
I'm generally blown away at the audacity people have to suggest casually changing any FAA regulation, considering how good they are at their jobs...
In the case of cannabis, there seems to be anti cancer properties riding along that are not present in tobacco smoke.

Not disagreeing with you. Am saying there are differences in the compounds in the smoke.
>When you post something you get that happy feeling seeing the like count of it, it makes you feel good and then you keep checking on it regularly which is a problem, and why I don't post anymore.

I stopped using Instagram altogether because of the above dopamine effect. Not in myself - I rarely posted anyway - but watching its effect on close friends has been somewhat dismaying.

Some bizarre hair-splitting here.

Besides, even if a beginner somehow wanders into the project, mis-IDs the project, and uses on their beginner server, then it sounds like a good learning experience for them even though the README didn't give them permission to learn by neglecting to include the word "educational", god forbid.

Is this the catastrophic scenario you have in mind?
Seems like most of the work is done by the `ReverseProxy` package and this code is more about health checking.

Nice to see how simple it is now though. Go is definitely a great choice for low-level networking, and .NET Core has recently become a great option as well.

If I have an important device that I'm not attaching to a network, that sounds like a good thing. It may not have every feature but it's very stable and efficient.
Nuts. Why not just have a cooldown for emote spam? It's ridiculous it's that easy to have your shit banned.
They fly to Hawaii now, as well as Central America and the Carib with their AirTran acquisition. As you said, lots of places to fly still.
Having been a moderator before it was easy to impose such restrictions, I'm very glad for them. It was effectively impossible to ban anybody because account creation is so trivial.

And yes, it's important to be able to ban people. Even the subreddit I moderate that's dedicated to a niche hobby and populated almost entirely by nice, helpful people has had an incident or two of serious targeted harassment. Those that touch on more controversial issues or potentially involve money have a high volume of abusive behavior.
Its probably DHH's jumping to the conclusion that gender bias (whether intentional or not) is the only possible explanation for this credit discrepancy. Or it could be the fact that he expects customer support representatives to understand the inner workings of GS's risk calculations.
That was a great video, but I feel like I just viewed a decent into madness.
Yes, but these charges were all imposed by the telco for end users, and special arrangements for large customers have been the norm since the AT&T breakup. There is no facility to ensure that _all_ calls have paid a fee because many customers have, for decades, had arrangements to make calls with no fee required, and in general there has been no reason for a telco to have a mechanism to monitor another telco's billing practices.

In other words: yes, and many people also paid for their email accounts for some years. Yet here we are...
I use Telegram for that. There's a "saved messages" chat where you can upload any type of file.

del outer div with the wall and add "overflow:scroll" to the body style so you can still move around.
Sure, but there could be DMCA-style “you’re not liable, unless we point it out to you and you don’t act on the information” mechanisms.

It feels super reasonable to ask for telecoms to blacklist stuff after complaints
Even if the country doesn't survive, people will.

One problem with nuclear mines is that they're unattended. If some crazy circumstance happens where the US loses control over the area, but it's not war, then you suddenly have a bunch of hidden nukes lying around that could detonate.

Another problem is that if the Soviets ever found them then they could use them as effective propaganda. If even one of those mines goes off, then they could say that they're liberating the Germans from their American oppressors. After all, you don't nuke your own ally and a nuclear detonation is hard to hide.
Lua was made for this! Here's a simple example:

https://gist.github.com/Vesnica/3672425

It loads and runs a Lua source code file which calls the exported C function. Lua compiles the source code into byte code before running it but that can also be done ahead of time with the Lua compiler:

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/luac.html

It can also be done manually with the dump and load functions:

Yes, there is already quite a bit of flexibility to move with your number. Maybe "loyalty" is not the best word.

What I meant to say is that, right now, my provider is the one who has substantial control over my main id of communication, i.e. phone number. This adds additional friction to move to a different provider, but also move across borders and so on. As my way of communicating moves onto other services, the telcos do not control my id anymore. Everything becomes easier and less friction.
For example, if I could, I would probably buy a data plan from one telco and a phone number from another, and I would experiment with my data much more, shop around etc.
I agree with this. Big tobacco won't mind either.

That all favors heated, but not burned tobacco products they would like to see used here in the US. They are already a thing in Asia.
Yeah, coulda used at least a hyphen on like-counts. I had to read the headline twice to parse it.
"SJWs" "need to eat some concrete"? You sound like a wannabe skinhead teen. Your veiled calls to violence should have nothing to do with / have no place in coding culture.
"And I don't see anyone blaming American nearly to the extent they are Boeing."

Yeah, because American doesn't deserve blame for this nearly to the extent that Boeing does.
You don't really need to squint. A combination of the weights and measures clause, the interstate commerce clause, the federal postal service, is more than enough for Congress to have jursidiction on how names are to be encoded and processed.
Well, clearly they didn't do their job that well in this case
Once I gained a sense of how deeply, horrifically stupid most people are, a lot of my questions about historical populations clicked into place really seamlessly.

Looking at the way most people (including most I know) approach both factual and moral questions, there's no belief in history that seems implausible, from chattel slavery to the humors theory to epicycles to the Inquisition. Most people really don't have the capacity to believe anything but what their social environment tells them to, and it's much more productive to consider the incentives and available information of the narrow few who are capable of doing so.
IMO this is not a problem. The people building insanely huge models are expanding the set of tasks that can be done by a computer. Who cares how much memory it takes?

But are they? The example in the article describes an incremental improvement in a benchmark in exchange for a massive increasing in training time.

Deep learning has achieved success on a number of tasks that previously computers had been unable to do. Since the initial period of success, it is an area of debate whether deep learning has expanded it's basic area of applicability or whether is has incrementally on it's initial achievements.

And if it is true that deep learning is stuck on just expanding what it's already doing, it might be the fundamental next advance might come from one person with one machine rather than a massive team with a massive machine. Consider that neural nets as a theory had been around since the 1990s if not the 1960s but the fundamental advantage of DL came when grad students could use GPU in the 2010s, not when massively parallel machines came into existence (quite a bit earlier).

Here, the further wrinkle is that moore's law is gradually ending. We won't access to that much more computing power twenty years hence - so making less do more does make sense.
I'm genuinely curious. Is there a good example of a cross-platform wrapper around platform widgets? That was the original design brief of AWT, which turned out quite bad. Is there a successor which actually gets it right?
This is very cool. Especially the animate into compact code view when holding down the alt key. Is there an extension with similar functionality in any other editor?
this is worded on a way that suggests that because the Irish one isn't particularly racist, or at least not in a particularly bad way, that an equivalent law in the US shouldn't be considered racist.

That ignores the difference in immigration and emigration between the two countries. in Ireland, it enables ethnic Irish to return home if their ancestors moved away, whereas in America, it would promote migrants from one non-ethnically American country over another, which in the context of prioritizing white immigrants over anything else, makes it pretty racist
From the same source you just shared there's a graph of refugee resettlements.

Canada only is ahead of the US as of 2018. Historically Canada hasn't even been close.
For all correspondence with a business, I don't need a "Hello Fred" or "Dear Fred" or "Dear Mr Fred Example".

While this is an article about programming, I'd like to mention that if you need to remove background noise from an audio clip, then Audacity has an excellent filter for this. Of course that's not anywhere as adaptable as doing it in code yourself is.
Easier, potentially, but the question is also of relative volumes. You need an awful lot of cadmium telluride to produce the same amount of power as a fingernail size pellet of uranium.

Per TWh of generated electricity you end up with an order of magnitude more deaths from solar power. It’s always a balance.
Soon they will.

Great flavored vapes have been taking people off smokes in droves.

Source: Newport rep talk over a couple beers. Big tobacco is charting this and can see it big time. They have people all over the place basically identifying premium brand smokers, offering them significant incentives and definitely notice when they are gone.

Their most potent, hard to kick, premium bans took a big hit when nicotine salt vape also hit. Juul showed the way.

Right now there are tons of smaller players. Big tobacco wants them gone and people on to something more habit forming.
You can go check. The historical sites and documents are around to look at. You might have to learn several dead languages, of course.

With military events there were attempts to fib by exaggerating military victories, or claiming a defeat was a victory. If it's relatively modern there are usually multiple perspectives, and you can go try to find evidence at the site.
> I lost my fear of flying through working on the 757.

That's refreshing. I have a friend who worked on the A380 and she says she'll never set foot on one.
How do I improve my self-image?
I have lots of career failures (more like not achieving those goals) in life. A few personal failures as well.

One thing I realized after talking to a good friend is that I have a negative image of myself which is why I never take bold steps or back out even if the opportunity is in front of me or seem helpless most of the time.

I'm looking for suggestions from the HN community on how to overcome my obstacles. Has anyone here had a negative self-image in the past and their life improved dramatically after they got a positive self-image of themselves?
I dare you to claim Goldman is using gender as an input variable for credit underwriting.

Since no one is actually doing this, we're back to something like "maybe (altho there's no evidence for this either) people indistinguishable from Mrs. DHH actually do look more likely to default, which is society's fault and thus Goldman should just take the hit".
Isn't DNSSEC supposed to prevent you from connecting to the wrong origin, presumably avoiding an unencrypted connection? A router can't intercept anything on an encrypted connection.
Alternative to browser storage I can access when browser is closed?
We are developing an opt-in site that will store data using browser storage. But how can we access the data when the browser is closed (unless I am missing a way to do it)? If that isn't possible is there a way to store a small amount of data on a user's computer (with their permission, of course)...like a built-in program we can leverage?
I was very impressed as well. On a desktop with a hardline it loaded instantly however the text is so small I can't make it out. Zooming gives things different degrees of fuzziness, with 150% zoom the least fuzzy (but still fuzzy).

Definitely raising the bar
So it's just an Android app and not a website?

One of my great frustrations with current platforms is that they're just apps. The UX is terrible: I'm stuck on a tiny screen, I can't search (control+f) and have to scroll through endless lists, I can't copy text (e.g. Google translate), etc.

Even though delivery is ridiculously cheap where I currently live (Indonesia), I find I use it a lot less than back home in Europe where Deliveroo etc. have a website. Often times just picking it up myself is faster than dealing with the crummy apps.
We do know it is important in harm reduction.

Whatever problems vape brings to the table will be much nicer problems to have when compared to cigarettes.
Would be interesting to know whether other people whose names end in mr also have this problem
I live in NZ and I've received maybe 1 or 2 in my lifetime. I'm not aware of any particular legal/technical measures in place here to stop them.
I work in bioinformatics, not syn-bio, but I have friends working in syn-bio.

I first wanted to go into syn-bio during my undergrad days (about 13 years ago?) since then all the exciting things were happening, logical gates, fine-grain control of E. coli etc.

When I look at what my friends are working on nothing much has changed? We can have simple AND gates in plants now, not just bacteria, but that's where it already stops. Anything more complex still doesn't work.

A lot of progress has been made in DNA synthesis, creation of new DNA instructions, 'printing' DNA?, we can write entire chromosomes now.

Delineating 'synthetic biology' from good old biotechnology is hard though :) A lot of the progress I see that gets chalked up to syn-bio feels more like regular biotechnology: getting known genes together into bacteria to produce chemicals. We've been doing that for a long time in insulin, washing powder, all kinds of medicines, all on industrial scale, it's where your insulin comes from.

To me syn-bio means to create entirely novel genes/pathways, not just re-using what nature has to offer, there was lots of fun progress here (artificial genetic codes, for example), but nothing that has made it out of the lab.

So Gingko's success happens in (to me!!!!) good old microbiology, taking genes that already exist and putting them into bacteria: 'Our first customers were in the fragrance industry. You get mint oil from mint leaves. We would take the genes from mint by reading the DNA code of the mint plant, find the part of it that encodes the mint flavor, print out the code from the mint plant, redesign it a little bit, move it into brewer’s yeast—like you use to make beer. ' That's not different from insulin production, and we've been doing that (well!) for thirty years or so. Same goes for Gingko's CBD production, we know a lot about that pathway already, and moving it into bacteria for easier production isn't impossible, I'd say feasible within the next 5 to 10 years.

Now making truly artificial synthetic biology, new genes, new pathways, logical switches, I'd say that's another 40-50 years until yo use that on industrial scale.
Not everyone has a master craftsman in them. Some people will show up in a new code base and need to do something; their first instinct will be to look around and try to fit their change in with the established conventions.

They are the minority.

Most will show up and handjam their change in the only way they know how. There will be no concern for the forest. Their job is processing trees after all.

This is something that was on my mind in the Google PR review thread. Not everyone is a "peer" in code reviews. There will be a certain cabal on equal footing, but there will be many more people who are simply contributors.

This is where people like the author come in; Project leads.
> It's definitely time for the Fourth Age

Agreed, do you have an ideas which would help push us forward?... this is clearly a step backwards, pushing us back towards the super-safe bigco communications world like 5-oclock TV news shows with pre-approved talking points.

Obviously developing new Reddit and Twitter alternatives that look like 2000s-era PHP shitholes aren't helping the problem.... or worse clones which merely pander to political extremists on the right or left or fringe groups which then scares off the moderates or politically disinterested.

How about the developers? The IT guys? Maybe not so enticing an idea now?
We’re too busy building graphql apps instead of REST apps.
This is a great initiative.

My suggestion is not have an app at all.
Make it a PWA/TWA. It will work on both android/iOS, notifications will work properly and your development effort will significantly go down.
