Personally I cannot wait for the dissolution of the modern publishing industry. HN might find it of interest that many large academic publishers are trying to pivot to providing a variety of data management services to universities. The academics thus far have not been fooled, but we will see how the politics plays out.
Whether universally supported or no it seems quite relevant.
From wikipedia:

> The Afsluitdijk (Dutch: [ˈɑfslœydɛik] English: "Enclosure Dam") is a major dam and causeway in the Netherlands. It was constructed between 1927 and 1932 and runs from Den Oever in North Holland province to the village of Zurich in Friesland province, over a length of 32 kilometres (20 mi) and a width of 90 metres (300 ft), at an initial height of 7.25 metres (23.8 ft) above sea level.

The worst Excel user I've ever seen was my brother. At film school he was producing a student film. He did the budget in Excel. One day I came home from work and he had some questions waiting for me. Looking through his sheet, I noticed that his summation row at the bottom had hard-coded values rather than the =SUM(...) formulas I was expecting. Thinking he had inadvertently done a 'copy -> paste values', I said, "Look, you killed your formulas here." He asked, "What are formulas?". Turns out, he had been using a calculator to tally up all the columns and was typing the total into the cell at the bottom.
A satellite will not have that amount of bandwidth. Period. It is all based on science too, check out information theory. You either need to beam in multiple specific direction resulting in technical challenges and impossible energy cost. Or you’re limited to one large broadcast where your signal to noise ratio dictate the upper cap of amount of information you can transfer - its going to look like a wifi that had one million people connected to it. Imagine the speed.
My wife is a scientist who has peer reviewed hundreds of articles. She has never been paid a dime. Worse, she is forced to pirate articles published in the same journals she is publishing in and reviews articles for, because she can't afford them and her University does not pay for them. So when they say:
```Peer-reviewed articles are not free to produce```
they are not lying, they are just forgetting to mention who covers most of that cost, for FREE!

Because of interaction effects. You can have something that passes all compatibility requirement examples yet fails in weird ways for long, strange queries that combine various features in ways not found in compatibility requirement examples, simply because these examples cannot possibly span the full, infinite input space.

As a simple example, maybe your system handles select queries fine, and it handles all legal field names, but some bug causes it to do the wrong thing when the third field in your select list is called "ape" because that matches the name of some internal bookkeeping structure you have. Does the code have to be badly designed for that to even be possible? Yes, but that is also the type of code we tend to find bugs in.
The Shanghai subway system is a good example. Construction started in 1986, first 28 stations opened in 1993.

It now has 413 stations and is the largest subways system by length (676 km) in the world.

Sure! I'll elaborate on a few aspects in the hopes of covering what you are asking for:

1. It is appropriate to yell at someone when the immediate safety of yourself or another person is threatened.

2. If you accept (1), then the presence of yelling is a much narrower filter than the presence of conditions under which yelling is appropriate. Due to your stated belief that yelling is never appropriate, you see those filters as equal.

3. With (1), I have given you conditions under which I think it is appropriate to yell at someone. Those conditions are never present at my current place of work. So if, based on only those facts, you were to disqualify my place of work as one where you would work, your filter would be too wide.
Author here. Thanks for your great advice. We will apply this experimental project to testing TiDB in the future and output the report to https://github.com/fuzzdebugplatform/fuzz_debug_platform/iss.... Through the statistics of code block coverage, we can not only identify suspicious code blocks but also count code coverage.

The fuzzer we implemented is driven by BNF expressions. We can adjust the inputs of the fuzzer based on the statistics.
The advantage of audible instructions is that everyone can hear them. It is easier to catch mistakes and helps maintain situational awareness.

Headline: Trump might help free science that’s locked behind paywalls

Summary: Reportedly, the White House may issue an executive order on federally funded research. Publishers aren’t happy.
Bay Area family of four: $1870/month on Kaiser. Gold something plan. And this is just a pay to play for the extortion racket we call health care providers. And we live in east bay zip code which makes The plan cheaper than e.g. being in 95030 or some other South Bay zip codes. And it’s anyways cheaper than equivalent BlueShield of CA plans.

So yeah, I break 10k (for a family) before anyone even gets to visit a doc. Where they slap you with extra $$$ on anything.

We should mandate that everyone has to pay for their own health insurance (e.g. healthcare). Put a full stop on employer provided health plans. And have people actually pay from their hard earned $ to the health providers for the right to show up. Now for a lot of people who get benefits through employment, the absurdity of the cost isn’t visible enough to actually care / do something about the situation.

Where does the authorization token come from? I notice it appears in quite a few projects on e.g. GitHub.

The project is cool. The de-crapified interface is nice (no weird JavaScript loading, no nags to login, t.co). But that also makes me think that the hosted version (nitter.net) is pretty doomed, since it directly undermines Twitter commercially.
Until a corresponding increase in taxation is made to pay for a new expenditure. The new expenditure is paid for entirely by debt.

Actually, it seems some adulterated products made it into the legal market, which seems to indicate insufficient control and inspection along the supply chain: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1097011

In any case, reasonable regulations are already going into place in states where THC products are legal: https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2019/12/12/thc-vape-mass...

The availability of known-safe, conveniently-available, regulated alternatives tends to erode black markets pretty successfully. See alcohol or Spotify as examples.
As someone who grew up in a developing economy, I find this view extremely patronizing. Usually, what happens is that a local company fills that demand gap.

Also, I think it is good for all parties concerned, because most developing economies will have a big problem becoming developed economies if their people are under constant surveillance from entities who may benefit from their continuation as developing economies.

Case in point: the US dollar is a horrible currency if looked at in isolation - after all, why the heck should the rest of the world pay American kids lots of money to have a great time at college and then turn around and default on their debt? Student loan forgiveness is almost a certainty over the next few years. But people still flock to the US dollar because it is far better than the other places money could go. There may be a hint of conspiracy theory in this, for sure, but it does not require a wild stretch of imagination to expect that the country where Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram is headquartered actually has a real incentive to foment violence in other countries and make their own economy and thus currency look better in comparison.

This is mostly a re-alignment of forces and civilian personnel who are already doing the job (of which there are many, across multiple services). There is actually little additional cost here...I think $2B over 5 years...which is a small portion of the $738B defense budget.

> only one finger on your "out" hand

I think Python's way isn't amazing, but it's not too bad either:

d, r = divmod(100, 3)

It's a bit uglier in C++, but you could make this work:

int d, r;
refs(d, r) = divmod(100, 3);

I'm certain there's either a Boost or STL library for this. (I wrote my own for C++98 at one point)

It's clear you like stack based languages, and I certainly admit they can be concise.

The article is in reference to “Administration policy”, which is only slightly ambiguous, and the letter it links at the very top of the page starts “Dear President Trump”. If you read even the first paragraph of the article, and you didn’t know it was regarding a Trump policy, then you had no idea what it was about at all.

Subways drastically vary depending on the material the ground is made of and what is there already. For example London is relatively easy to build deep tunnels in, but on of the big things that has increased the complexity of Crossrail is that central London has a lot of stuff underground that isn't necessarily documented correctly. There are water mains, sewers, electrical cables, ventilation shafts, other subway tunnels, stations, then abandoned instances of all of those and plenty of archeological materials (London as a city has been around for over 2000 years).
I use Twitter to follow developers and artists who post interesting work. It's the best resource I've found for surfacing that sort of niche content (if anyone knows a better one, please let me know).

It says the same thing about men who have sex with their wives during the latter’s menstrual cycle, in the same chapter.

OTOH, like virtually of the rest of the old testament statutes applicable to the Jewish people, these and most of the other prohibitions in that chapter and the surrounding ones is voided as to non-Jewish Christians (though one might infer from it a continuing prohibition on same sex marriage from it), see Acts 15:28-29, where the apostles, addressing the acts of some in the early Christian community attempting to apply the Mosaic law in its entirety to gentile Christians, declared: “It is the decision of the holy Spirit and of us not to place on you any burden beyond these necessities, namely, to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from meats of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage. If you keep free of these, you will be doing what is right. Farewell.”

Now, it's true that some modern Christians do exactly (or, rather more often, a cherry-picked subset of it) what the council in Acts 15—directed, as Scripture says, by the Holy Spirit—reacted against and declared invalid.

Any advice for a first time teacher?
I'm teaching an intro level cyber security class to college freshmen next semester for the first time. Are there any teachers out there, part-time or full-time, who can pass along some advice? I'm thinking along the lines of managing the classroom, first impressions, connecting with students, prep, etc.

Just to note: the lectures, labs, and assignments are already made and the department expects the adjuncts to use them. I'd still like to sprinkle in some personal anecdotes and lessons when possible, however.

Hey!

GaN on Si could work, as could ferrite based inductors, but at least for the foreseeable future it doesn't seem like the incentive is enough to make it a wide scale thing. Probably heterogeneous integration stuff like say maybe chiplets, flip chip bonding, etc. might be the route if GaN converters get integrated.

Yesterday I had to deal with copyright to have a conference paper published by ACM. Open Access was charged 700/900$ based on my membership. The two others options was transferring all the management rights (keep dreaming), or giving them a license that basically allow them to do whatever they want anyway. I took the last option but I was angry: this is basically blackmailing me against my carrer path to get my work for free and make money on it. And I had to do all the bullshit job of dealing with templating, which should be done by the publisher.

Hopefully my personal page is well indexed in Google Scholar when searching for my name, so anyone can get my articles for free.
> I, Pencil is a story that shows government intervention is not needed to build the pencil.

Not just building pencils but also delivering the mail as one given example, in fact it explicitly broadens the scope of its argument to “...tens of thousands of other things”. ‘I Pencil’ is explicitly an argument against the need for government intervention and planning in general, as it makes very clear at the end - “The lesson I have to teach is this: Leave all creative energies uninhibited”.

It is an argument that creating pencils and many other essential activities can, and implicitly should occur “...in the absence of governmental or any other coercive masterminding”.

As deogeo pointed out in reality governmental masterminding made many clear and beneficial contributions to the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the pencil’s manufacture. It’s argument that no masterminding occurred is in practice not strictly true. We can argue about how necessary such contributions are, but I don’t see how we can argue they are irrelevant to the discussion when ‘I Pencil’ so clearly broadens the scope of its claims.

If I Pencil were to stick to being an eulogy to creative market forces that would be fine. That aspect of its exposition is well reasoned and compelling, but it completely fails to address the issue of externalities. We don’t need government or regulation to have pencils, we need it to also have other things which market forces frequently despoil or fail to provide. Worker safety, sustainable natural resources, etc. That’s what deogeo is talking about.
