>because where’s the money in being the provider of dumb pipes?

In longevity. We will always need dumb pipe companies. If you can keep a decent reputation then perhaps it'll be easier to continue offering that service. You're less likely to get regulated and people will still use your services if a competitor appears. Steam is a good example on that front. If a company wants to make the maximum amount of profit then longevity is a must.
I think it just forces objects to survive more than one collection before moving out of the nursery, without having a special logic for whether they were rooted on the stack or not. But I am not 100% sure so don't quote me on that.

It sounds like you were calling to violence citizens of another country to engage against lawful entities of the American government.
Thanks, I'll take another look this weekend.
Plenty: SQL databases, spreadsheet software, CRUD application builders such as Ruby on Rails, pretty much every dependency management tool and the libraries those provide through public repositories ...
Did you also wire up trace expression evaluation in Emacs?
Link is literally exhausted.
The October firmware update (which will be updated automatically by `apt-get update` in raspbian) did a lot to decrease temperatures of the SoC, rather impressive really.
Instead of these nasty .in domains, he should just buy a .com or something, where these transfers don't just happen randomly.
I'm not sure clojure should be the language of choice to compile anything. At that point you might as well implement elisp as a hosted language as well. What papaw was saying up above was creating an elisp compiler for common lisp will make it portable to native code via sbcl and hosted code via sbcl.

I suppose one could argue writing it in clojure would make it portable to both the jvm and any javascript engine but what clojure project of significant complexity doesn't break out into the host language from time to time

What compilers have been written so far in idiomatic clojure?

EDIT: since I'm thinking about it could anyone imagine debugging a compiler in clojure? Talk about stacks on stacks on stacks...
I liked OS/2 and used it simply because it meant I could develop 16 bit code using a protected mode operating system, which made development much faster.

Only as the last step was it ported to real mode DOS.
The very idea of "corporate mindfulness" goes against the logic that led to mindfulness, and ultimately it only helps in misdirection as to what the issue really is.
Amazon being down would be extra PR. Costco’a instore credit card machines went down. Costco’s website, nowhere near a leader in e-commerce, and you already have to be a Costco customer - their site doesn’t generate new customers. The site going down, doesn’t generate enough press for the name recognition increase to increase amongst of new customers (infact it does the opposite) offset the negativity around dedicated customers not being able to access Costco accounts.
Why does it matter how far in advance or how speculatively someone took the domain?

If they are indeed different, I would argue that learning of an emerging product and preemptively buying the domain is not cybersquatting but more like IP theft.

Regardless, the point remains that the .com TLD is saturated with parked domains, meaning folks must go to more poorly managed TLDs for reasonably priced domains. Personally, that’s not the way the world should work. A parked domain does not offer value to the world the same way that undeveloped/underdeveloped land does. Indeed, a small store holding its own against gentrified land often provides more value to the community that if it were consumed by public domain. And even with physical property, it is possible to seize underutilized land in the name of public good.

TL;DR: I get that you #define cybersquatting in a way that excludes speculative parking. Not only do I disagree with your definition, but I don’t see how speculative parking or whatever you call it is reasonable.
Is that the only value proposition? Given the apparent complexity of using Frink, I figured there should be some other upsides
Operating systems, VMs, programming language interpreters, compilers, and code libraries.

Oh, and the computers all that stuff and the the things you build by tying them together run on.

Just for starters.
Not the commenter, and I understood what you were getting at, however, your original post doesn’t specify who is being asked the questions. It’s implied you’re asking the CTO, but it’s never clearly stated.

That said, this is a good reminder for everyone to “read generously”: If you read something that seems absurd, take a minute to make sure you’re not just misunderstanding the post. Posts often gloss over context, and so you should try to rebuild that context.
Sounds like a great reason to subsidize yearly eye exams for those who can't afford them. Or even to cover the cost of an annual exam for every person, to avoid the usual problems with means testing.
I'm not too experienced with GIMP, but I noticed that all the transformation of a selection in GIMP is done with a tool. In Photoshop if I quickly want to scale, rotate, and reposition a selection then I can do that with the controls around the selection. With GIMP I have to select the scale tool, scale, then select the rotation tool, rotate, then select the move tool and move it. Have I just not found how to turn those controls on? Because it feels inconvenient.

I do love that the undo history is in a prominent position on the UI.
Very hard to critique an article you overwhelmingly agree with!

The key point I kept picking up was the extent to which a press willing to laud a discovery was reticent about owning the clinb-down.

Peer review in ML journals should be tighter maybe? If you solve a limited subset of the three body problem you can't claim to solve "the three body problem" and if you apply a well known Rubik's cube model solution you didn't learn it, you had it baked in.
Generally a lot of the formalism of Algebra requires specific brain development milestones dealing with abstraction to be reached. That’s why it is taught at the end of middle school. Now could some concepts be introduced earlier? Yes a common exercise in elementary school is to solve questions in the form of 7 + _ = 15. In this case x is replaced with a _ because variables are hard to grasp.
My First Clang Warning – 2019 LLVM Developers’ Meeting
In improv, "Yes, and..." is kind of just the basics. It's to stop beginners from putting up a brick wall that kills the scene or forces someone to invent a whole new premise from whole cloth. That shit takes work on somebody's part and adds a ton of friction. You're supposed to add value, and not destroy value. ("Yes" stands for not-destroying; "and" stands for adding.) That doesn't necessarily mean agreeing all the time; in fact any half-decent dramatic scene had better involve conflict of some kind or it'll be boring. But you're supposed to find ways to do it within the reality of the scene, i.e. without negating the underlying premise.

If the analogy is applicable to business at all, it's about accepting the "reality" of the place you've parachuted into. Part of that might be to start with the assumption that people are grownups who have real honest-to-god reasons for saying things. That level of respect for strangers seems appropriate, and a lost art in these days of the online echo chamber. Then your job stops being about "being right" and more about listening. This whole viewpoint seems to say it's more important to keep the "scene" going than to be right.

Whereas in theatre you have the luxury of just declaring that yes indeed it IS snowing; in business it sounds like it would be more about figuring out why this person thinks it's snowing. After enough time immersed in their company culture you might see why, and you might even reluctantly agree with it. But you can "disagree without negating" by saying for example "Well I know it's probably not snowing in Cancún." In other words "When I worked at Blablacorp they had an excellent anti-snow system." Seems like maybe caution would be in order before saying anything like that though, as an outsider, because the obvious response is gonna be "Well this is YADDATRON, NOT BLABLACORP! At Yaddatron, it's goddamn snowing!!"

Anyway, point is, you don't necessarily have to accept that it is snowing; sometimes just accepting that the person thinks it's snowing is enough to keep things moving along. I dunno, don't mind me, this is new to me (improv isn't, but this way of using it is), so to some degree I'm thinking by writing.
Not much happening, but at least I get to see sun and daylight in late spring live from where I am, where it is dark, night and almost winter :)
I would bet that quite some of these people came back later. When people want Costco prices, they will come back. So prob not that harmful. Still never a good day to be an engineer and imagine there will be some difficult post-mortems.
It might also draw candidates who are better at running a campaign than at doing the work - in fact, it is most likely.

For almost all jobs, the common way of doing that is improve compensation and/or working conditions, and I see no reason a coroner should be different.
Not if you spin said project into an independent company, take the key players and replace then with energetic and creative individuals. Incubators need product guys that can see beyond the technicool aspect of the project and spin it into a company. The problem now days is there is just too much cargo-cult around incubation. There is a happy middle between Bell Labs and today fake it till you make it incubation. Don't get me wrong it takes some believing in yourself and I think Job's and Musk had and have the right amount. But believing and outright lying and borderline scamming is what we see more of today, with no technical assets and a story. Where in the days of Bell Labs you had the tech but no one to sell it into a product, much less an independent company.
And not one mention of the ethics of the unattributed monetization of content other people spend their time and energy creating, likely for and without any payoff.

Then taking whatever money was coming from that and utilizing the schemes /biz/ discovers (bot purchases for high demand goods, drop shipping).

Zero value created, ethics trampled and yet his depression is over his lack of importance in the lives of transient internet celebrities.

One to watch, for sure.
1) Both have to do with gTLDs/ccTLDs and sketchy behavior by TLD operators

2) Both have to do with site operators experiencing a sense of uncertainty due to problems with the ICANN landscape.

Is it really so hard to comprehend relevance? I'd tell you to try to keep up, but that's against HN rules & regulations, so I won't say that.
Since they had the same issues running the site the next day as well It may still be close to that 11 million.

>While FB and Google do have some problems due to their monopolies, the answer is not in state control.

Although I am not a proponent of state control of the net, I'm curious as to why not. If it's that the state can't be trusted, this doesn't seem to match our existing institutions; we regularly place our lives in control of the state every day, from food regulation rules to the social safety net, to defence of the country, etc. - why should something the net, which seems to hold much less in stakes than the things I listed, be an exception?
Reminds me of Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy:

Which TLDs are immune to this kind of takedown request?
I found Scribus to be virtually unusable last time I tried it (early this year on Ubuntu and version 1.4.6 I think); it compared very badly to Microsoft Publisher in the pre-2000 era.

It wasn't very intuitive - as far as I remember you couldn't edit text on page, you had to go to a modal dialogue and font editing was distinctly funky. I don't think it was possibly to flow text between multiple text boxes in the layout. Stuff like that.

I often see it recommended so I guess I'm missing something - would anyone like to sing its praises to me?
At least as of a couple of years ago, Shadowserver could accuse you of botnet participation on such flimsy evidence that it was way too easy to frame someone else as being a botnet participant. I don't want to give ideas how, but it happened to me. Since then, I've configured my firewalls to block traffic to Shadowserver IPv4 space. I'm more worried about getting framed again than actually getting a botnet infection and not getting notified.
For me, they are very unreliable and dangerous questions. Mostly asked by people who are wasting months to validate thoughts and seek the next imaginary unicorn, that doesn't exist yet and has no competition. :)

You immediately assume that you need to have more expertise and be 10x better than the competition. But the business building doesn't work like this, in most circumstances, you'll start from something small, and then become an expert in it. Placing research and business decisions in the hands of customers who mostly say "no, we don't need this..." is just unreliable. Sometimes most stupid and simple ideas can change everything, which was proven many times.

Don't waste time and focus on building actual products, then validate, pivot, validate, pivot, validate, stay, earn millions, acquire more companies, get more money, build some more companies, finish with an empire... But try to avoid Walter White's fate. ;)
There is also a difference between a $150k/y family with two wage earners and one with a single wage earner. The former is likely paying for day care, etc and have higher family expenses. And a lower quality of life in general.

Gets worse as you go down in income. Try two wage earners at $60k/year.

I was unclear, I meant that the restrictions are artificial; based on contracts and in-company reasoning, not that the law prevents them from letting users in other nations buy subscriptions. Yes, they can't reneg on contracts, but the only reason Disney+ isn't available in other nations is entirely of their own making, and they could let Ukranians or Vietnamese into Disney+ whenever they choose (aside from existing agreed upon obligations), there is no national-legal restriction.
That makes sense, thanks! So it's a bit over-cautious.
Tool for Homeowner – Zisten
Costco's site has never been a role model in fact it can hardly handle most weekend traffic. This annoys me on multiple levels since it puts a bad name to asp.net's ability to scale as well as the fact weekends are my main shopping window and I just can't use the site.
No it doesn't - why would it help at all to precede that with a warning the user wouldn't see?
Finding a contractor for your home improvement is not an easy task. Researching the contractors you want to hire is a key step in finding the right expert. RecommendoMeter is a tool for homeowners to assist them in their research.
He's only 25. There's already lots more feeling and emotion in his latest Djesse project than his first album. He needs time to actually live life and have things to be emotional about before he can put them into music.
As I mentioned to someone else, I was unclear. I meant there's no legislative reason then can't let foreign users into Disney+, contractual obligations are agreements that expire, as opposed to a statute prohibition on being open to other customers.
This is one of my favorite papers. It's a very accessible article that dispels the myth that reference counting is somehow not a form of garbage collection.
.org isn’t a ccTLD?
This happened to all treasures owned by the country that got colonized.
Some of the treasures probably were taken legally (I.e. given as a gifts before colonization happened).
You're absolutely right, it's a gTLD.

There are currently 2 replacement server implementations, the first was done in Rust ( https://github.com/steamroller-airmash/airmash-server ) powers (I think) all the US servers. It is missing some features like upgrades.

For that reason most of the 'life' is on EU servers, despite the increased latency for US players, which are using a newer and slightly more complete Node.js implementation ( https://github.com/wight-airmash/ab-server ). If you're trying it out, be sure to check out EU.
it's not that the algorithm "breaks"; it's just that it stops being a convenient notation for humans.

the "short" notation relies on the ability to squeeze the remainder in between the digits of the dividend. if you have a divisor greater than ten, it's possible to have a remainder with more than one digit. two or more remainder digits is a lot harder to write legibly between the digits of the dividend. you also end up subtracting larger numbers in your head, which is error prone. finally, most people only memorize the multiplication table up to 12x12 or so. once they can't simply do a lookup into their memorized table, they switch to more of a "guess and check" approach, where they will inevitably have to cross out or erase their previous work.

in the end, it introduces a lot of unnecessary opportunities to make mistakes and hides stuff that people can't do reliably in their heads.
Think of it more in terms of expected value.

For example, it is possible that a worse executive would have had a higher chance of causing an even worse outcome than what happened.

The point is that executive compensation is a drop in the bucket, compared to the value of a company as a whole. A CEO only has to have a slighter higher chance of getting a slightly better outcome, for the math to work out and the compensation to be worth it.
Because it is difficult to get people that are so well trained to work in that county, yet the work needs to be done. Many counties require that a coroner be a licensed MD with training/experience in the coroner's office. These costs necessitate a high salary to pay off such educational investments and also due to supply and demand. That particular county is very poor and there is little to attract such caliber of people outside of money. Money that largely does not exist. So, one solution is to take anyone that will volunteer for the job. One way to sugarcoat this is to elect the coroner and make it seem like 'the people' have taken this risk upon themselves. Sure, many elected coroners are well trained and very good at their jobs. But those people are not the issue. Having massively undertrained people do this job is glaringly stupid on just so many levels, but what other option exists? The job market has spoken.
It took a lot of patience and persistence to get something added to my cart and complete the checkout, so I can easily see many people abandoning the process. Though they did send a reminder email about the abandoned shopping cart, so that might have helped get some people back.
The making of Snake A.I. [video]
Great article, but I'm curious why automatic reference counting (ARC) and smart pointers never seemed to really catch on outside of Objective-C and Swift:

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

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

They almost "just work", except for circular references:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_count#Dealing_with_r...

I'd like to see some real-world studies on what percentage of unclaimed memory is taken up by orphaned circular references, because my gut feeling is that it's below 10%. So that really makes me question why so much work has gone into various garbage collection schemes, nearly all of which suffer from performance problems (or can't be made realtime due to nondetermistic collection costs).

Also I can't prove it, but I think a major source of pain in garbage collection is mutability, which is exacerbated by our fascination with object-oriented programming. I'd like to see a solid comparison of garbage collection overhead between functional and imperative languages.

I feel like if we put the storage overage of the reference count aside (which becomes less relevant as time goes on), then there should be some mathematical proof for how small the time cost can get with a tracing garbage collector or the cycle collection algorithm of Bacon and Paz.
I dunno if the GPT-2 examples are misinformation, more like exaggeration for PR, which is admittingly a separate problem in AI. (marketing hype vs. actual falsity)

Ok then. But that doesn't support the argument that compensation is too high. Maybe it isn't high enough, and should be even higher!

I can use your unknown argument to support even higher compensation, just as much.

>Given that the far left (like Jacobin) have been rallying _against_ free speech and mocking it online with “freeze peach” memes, I am terrified at the possibility of them eventually ceasing control of speech platforms.

Two points on this thought: there are a variety of viewpoints on the value of freedom of speech within "the left" - needless to say, opinions range from libertarian to unlibertarian. You shouldn't get your views of leftist philosophy from Internet memes. The second point is that you should consider reading the arguments on freedom of speech, those for and against it. Most people only seem to know of the arguments for it. On that point I'd recommend checking out Susan Brison's work for starters.
Not to nitpick, but it's not like the sentencing guidelines are binding. The judge can still choose to hand down a sentence outside of what the sentencing guidelines prescribe. Case and point, Paul Manafort and his "otherwise blameless life".
