The particular version of linear algebra I took was taken after differential equations, and generally considered the hardest course in the undergraduate curriculum, reserved for EE and physics majors only. In the case of us physics majors, it was a pre-req for thermal physics (statistical mechanics), and due to timing, there was only one semester you could take it.

The "interpreter" is just the macro that handles execution of the next subroutine in a threaded program. As in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threaded_code

It might only be a call instruction, or a pointer increment and a jump. If you have to move the pointer to the working register to increment it, that's three instructions.

Google has offered cloud computing with the release of app engine almost a decade ago. They kept it running this whole time and have only added to the platform.

The entire discussion in the memo seems to be more about how much they want to compete at the level of AWS rather than being in cloud computing at all.

Based on the developments and investment so far, it’s clear GCP wants to be a serious contender.
And it's not like the USPS lines are meaningfully longer than Fedex or UPS, even in a city.

I think it's just anti-government hyperbole to pretend that taking an envelope from your hand to a farm house on the other side of the country for 55 cents and having a line for such an amazing service is too big an ask.

It would take just as long at Fedex or UPS. They're private. They don't mail anything for 55 cents. They're usually more expensive for packages even.

It's really pretty amazing.

Mining in general is a pretty complicated topic, and anecdata like the article are nice to have. One issue separate from the personal side is that nations need minerals. Minerals require mining. Mining breeds misery. The answer probably isn't to stop mining, but to subsidize mining safety and health. If mineral companies could provided better safer environments there would be less harm from mining and everyone could go about their business blind to the costs of mining. We do it for farming, why not dump a ton of money into mining(far more than we do currently)?
> When my health is on the line, I do not want to do anything like shopping around.

How do you obtain food then? Do you not go to grocery stores or restaurants?

But talking about just medical services, sure there are many situations where a patient has vanishingly little opportunity to shop around, and applying the market ethic is really just a blessing to price gouge. But there are also many situations that aren't so time critical (like anything that insurance companies currently insist on "authorizing"), where it would be quite easy to shop around if providers had to charge everyone the same price and publish it.

It's true that the mouse is bad at macros. That's not somehow inherent to mousing, though! Operating system designers simply don't seem to care about this. Why can't I type control-U 10 and then select a menu item with the mouse, and have it execute 10 times? That works in Emacs. Or record a macro which consists of a combination of keyboard and mouse actions. This shouldn't be hard.

(Automator has some "record" functionality but it's so naïve as to be useless. It records the mouse by where on the screen you move it. If you take several seconds to decide which menu item to select, it pauses during playback, too. If you bump the mouse during playback, it will select the wrong menu item.)

There seems to be at least one person at Apple who understands the importance, because macOS does support Emacs-style control-U repeats for text editing.

Programming may become a lot like maths in that it’s mainly used by other disciplines to get things done. Learning something other than programming itself will always be an asset.
I think the argument is that people are more skeptical of Amazon and Google behaving, perhaps justifiably so. But I guess my feeling is, even assuming they are bad actors and people's fears regarding these devices are realized, it still seems far less dangerous than the ways we've already allowed these companies to insert themselves in our lives and have just accepted. I feel like there is a relatively low ceiling to the damage that can be done by something like a Ring doorbell in the case Amazon lives up to people's worries. But the recent trend of these kind of fearmongering articles make it sound like it could be the end of human society and civil liberty.

> it would be better first to establish a sensible regulatory framework

The new common rule provides for just such a thing called broad consent, which requires tracking patient consent in a fine-grained and revokable way. Interestingly, about the time it came into effect, I heard about a new start-up supported by George Church, called Nebula, which provides just such a consent service using a blockchain.

So, the regulatory framework exists, and a product to implement that is on the market. And this stuff was in discussion for better part of a decade, so it's not like this just snuck up on people.

Yeah, but the email I got said you need to buy OXT via Coinbase. And last I knew, Coinbase implements KYC.

But maybe anonymous exchanges will start handling it.

Edit: OK, I see that it says "...and elsewhere." So I'll wait and see how it goes. I'll need some way to get OXT from Bitcoin.

And damn, it doesn't help that OXT also means the "Open Exploration Tool" for tracking Bitcoin.

The shell performs field splitting according to the characters in the IFS environment variable; if unset it splits on <space>, <tab>, and <newline>.

There are many other places in Unix where tabs are special. The "<<-" heredoc operator will strip leading <tab> characters, so if you want to nest embedded content neatly in your script you have to use tabs. Similarly, programs like cut(1) default to using <tab> as the delimiter.

The fact of the matter is that until very recently the vast majority of programs and programmers on Unix used tab indentation, and to a lesser extent tabs for intra-line alignment. So while the requirement of leading tabs in Make may have been a mistake, it was a benign mistake that would have gone mostly unnoticed. And the alternative surely would been a more permissive syntax allowing both <tab> and <space>.
In FORTH there is a distinction between the compiler and the interpreter. Each function in FORTH is called a "word". You define a word by giving it a name (historically only the first X characters counted -- often 8). The compiled words are stored in a "dictionary" which is essentially a key value pair with the name of a compiled word and a pointer to its compiled code. When you are compiling a word, you add a new entry to the dictionary. Then for each word contained in the new word you are defining, you look it up in the dictionary and store the pointer to its compiled code. So essentially, the compiled code consists of a list of pointers -- one for each function call you are making.

It's a little more complicated than that, but not much. Numerical literals need to be added to the stack rather than being treated as a pointer to a function, but there are a variety of ways you can tag the information you are putting in the list.

The interpreter works by taking a pointer to the function, and running it. This will essentially jump you to another pointer to a function which you will run. That will jump you to another pointer to a function which you will run. Eventually you will end up pointing to a function that was hand implemented in assembly language (part of the kernel for the language).

This technique is known as a "threaded interpreted language" (TIL). I haven't really explained it very well, but essentially it's just either pushing a literal onto the stack or jumping to a subroutine. The actual code for the interpreter is insanely small because it does virtually nothing (either jump to a subroutine or push a value onto the stack). While the entire thing is not 2 or 3 machine instructions, the actual running functionality would just be looping through something of that size.

One of the nice things about this setup is that it's pretty easy to write an entire FORTH kernel in 16 or 32K. So all of the actually executing code will fit in the cache of even a small processor. The rest of the code is literally lists of addresses and integer literals. They are super easy to fetch and you can also be tricky about optimising how you fetch them. The end result is that you barely ever hit main memory when talking about the code part of the system. And since you prefer working on the stack to working on the heap, you get really good locality on the working memory as well. This can give you insanely good performance with very little cognitive overhead as a programmer.
My wife had a series of CT scans in the ER after a car accident. I noticed that most of them were only paid out at 1/20th of the billed rate. I wonder if the pricing is gaming the accounting, since most people either have some sort of coverage, or can't realistically pay (so the hospital doesn't get the full amount either way)?
Looks interesting although it seems to me not SaaS-oriented.
That’s certainly a reasonable position to take. Unfortunately, there’s no way to escapable the legalese, so my opinion is they are practically bad. They’re not absolutely bad, but they are under our current regime.
Not necessarily - Signal can show a warning icon to people they're having conversations with / only enable the feature if everyone in the group is on an official client. Nothing about it being open source prevents this, and conversely, making Signal closed source wouldn't prevent people exfiltrating content via jailbroken phones etc. (Or via screenshots, as others have mentioned.)

Based on my understanding of IQ, 7 points is still VERY significant above 100, but perhaps not above 130.

From what I've learned from psychologists, an IQ of 100 makes one able to comfortably perform technical assembly line work, but from 105-110 you can handle being the manager.
I am exposed to low wage careers on the daily and while there are higher paying jobs than programming, programming is one of the more robust jobs in the market.

There are very few jobs that are very stable in the modern economy. If you want a long term stable job, become a professional plumber or other technical service house-call. Steady demand, technology is not going to reduce needs for plumbing, not an attractive market so there's not that much growth.

When I was a kid, I wondered why the Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars fighters were able to turn such sharp corners. And for Star Wars, I don't mean just the X-wing, but mostly the Tie Fighters. That's some mad science right there.

I was told not to overthink it. But the same problems I noticed then are still here today. They can zoom by in space, but they won't be doing those high speed weaving asteroid avoidance maneuvers in real life any time soon.

The next (and last) Star Wars is sure to forget this bit of physics we all know instinctively today, but didn't know so much about in the 70's and 80's.

Ask HN: When Will Google Kill Search?

I think that's true of a car but unless you live in an area that is not densely populated (and probably won't have much in the way of jobs), then the house part is not true, unless you're willing to live with your parents until you're at least 30.
LOL I agree.
I would expect a message board tied to entrepreneurship to have it fair share of risk takers. Maybe tech is different but most if not all the self made people I know uh were not always so squeaky clean, just good at not getting caught.
Consider two scenarios:
1. Your neighbor buys an Alexa for their house. Now Amazon gets to learn all about your neighbor's private conversations. Your neighbor is presumably OK with this, or possibly unaware, but either way their decisions only affect them.
2. Your neighbor buys a Ring. Now it's you who are being monitored. Amazon will learn details about you and anyone who comes to visit you, and they will profit from it. (Also they will share the details with law enforcement.)

The current big tech companies have established a new business model based on two important facts: your time/attention/data are valuable to them, and you are encouraged to give them your time/attention/data for free. You should have the right to not do business with Amazon, in exactly the same way that you should have the right to not do business with, for example, a fast-food place you don't like. But anyone who lives near a Ring owner is going to be contributing to Amazon's business, whether they want to or not.

None of my neighbors have Rings yet. I'm going to have a talk with them the first time I see one get put up.
I mean, "he" is "wrong" because it's factually incorrect. Sure it's common and I basically agree that it's amusing more than malicious.

It's a pretty gentle reminder that it can be offputting to misgender people, and while you may not care, the author might and it erases their gender from view in the discussion. It is inferior to assume that everyone you talk to is a guy, it may not be the most important thing ("no, she's a great coder, that's why I follow her" or whatever) but it colors the way you think about the world to make the default gender male.

Anyway, this is getting waaaaay off topic. Apologies.
> It’s almost certainly “trust us.” The only way to access the internet without relying on trust is through TOR.

At the end of the day, you really don't know who is monitoring or what is running on Tor exit nodes, or moreover, if you're routing through a series of nodes that are controlled by the same anonymous operation.

Only if you have proof a server is not being tampered with, proof of what is running on a server and that thing running is verifiably locking our access out of the system and not logging, will you have proof that you are truly private.

It requires all of the above, and it's a hard problem to solve, but we're committed to solving it at Private Internet Access, and that's where we are headed.

Only when this is deployed, will people have continuous and verifiable privacy since the birth of the internet.

We were called the 'verified' no log VPN provider because we were the only legally proven no-log VPN, but we're going to take it a step further, to make sure we're verifiable, because you can verify at any time.
