Hard disagree: interfaces should be statically typed, but implementations need not be unless it adds value.

Languages like python with a typechecker are much closer to rust (safe, but with the ability to have unsafe areas) than true statically typed langs, because static languages don't give easy escape hatches (you end up having to cast everything, no static Lang I'm aware of ships with an Any type like python's).
For indoor heating, sure, but these are outdoor switches.

Propane/natural gas switch heating is like sitting in-front of a campfire, while electric would be like having a heating pad on your skin.

Or maybe the electric ones are just blowers too with one central heating point and a bunch of vents. Dunno.
Wow, didn't expect to see you on HN. A friend of mine and I have been watching your Youtube vids for a while now. They're wonderful (and I'm also a bit jealous of the J30 camper on your Rubicon).

I myself took this past summer off to travel the western US. I started to have similar thoughts. It was very hard to go back to work after returning. Not because I didn't want to work (I did), but because of what you said, I realized it was so easy to fall into patterns and let your career direct everything.

I realized when I was traveling every day that I was the one directing, and it wasn't always easy. I had to deal with new things every day, sometimes great, sometimes difficult, but it really pushed me both mentally and physically. It was the best thing I ever did for myself.

One positive about returning to work though is I care a lot less about my career path. It allows me to be more open and honest at work. I don't fear not getting a promotion or losing my job. I also don't care as much about being "right". That helps my stress level a lot. But it also helps that I'm planning my next adventure as well (6 months in western Canada).

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm currently into my third year of traveling and third new country. I'm getting pretty exhausted of starting again (new engineering job, new environment and new friends) and I'm starting to yearn for roots. It does take it's toll on you as now nowhere feels like home.
Part of me feels bad that this sort of thing doesn't freak me out, that I'm not bothered accumulating things like bookmarks, unread emails, and files. Maybe that I'm comfortable living with so much noise is why I go through periods where I don't get anything done.
If they has set the trails to 20 instead of 100, I think it would have bugged less people. As it was, it popped too much and made the game look like a background.
Really? I feel like stuff like DI frameworks are super common in Java, and they're essentially dynamic magic.
You're suggesting that Simons was forced out? By who? He owns the company.
The absurd is the tension between the search for meaning and the inability to find any. It doesn’t mean there is no meaning as a nihilist would argue. Nor does it imply destruction.

Camus’s absurd is more akin to Gödel incompleteness than nihilism.
The USPS was supposed to announce their next gen delivery vehicle (NGDV) this fall, but the decision is pushed back to 2020. There's a small American EV company called Workhorse among the four contenders for the contract. DHL was also trialing some Workhorse EVs recently, I'm not sure how that ended up.

My experience with Hipchat was all negative. The ability to format text/code was abysmal. At one point it started crashing after an update and I had to download/install an older version just to use it. I have issues with Slack, but I'd use email threads before I voluntarily went back to Hipchat.
The first Model S rolled of the line on June 22, 2012, that is about 7.5 years

You can not believe that is "been out long enough" to factor in Resale values and longevity?

The Average Scrap age for a car in the US in 2014 is about 15 years, and the Average age of all light vehicles in operation on the reads as of 2014 was 11.4 years old and was expected to raise to 12 years by 2018 but I could not find data to confirm that

This means the VAST majority of cars in operation are aging used cars that are older than even the oldest Tesla on the road today.

Get back to me when the Model S reaches the decade mark and see if the Cost the the batteries exceed the value of the Car, and the real test will be if the low end Model 3 can maintain a 15+ year life span on the road

because if the EV scrap date is a full 5+ years quicker than a ICE car that is going to be a problem not only for sales but also all of the environmental calculations that make it "green"

ICE Manufacturers are targeting a 15year life span for cars, if EV can not do that economically we are going to have problems
Dropbox is using Bazel + MyPy to scale it’s massive Python codebase.

Different attacks.

If you have a network, 1 IP could then try 1 time a user + password. Then switch to another device with a different IP for another one.

The first IP could then try a different user.

You need a combination, not one or the other.

And then, you have to deal with a university or other big institution and users forgetting their passwords after the holidays. That would potentially trigger a ban of everyone.
Yes, but what the poster above describes as "locking you out of group messages" sounds like a member of an all-iMessage group switching to android, and the group message continuing on in iMessages-only, rather than being restarted as MMS to include the Android.
Adler's "How to Read a Book" (the 1972 edition) also recommends to avoid subvocalization and to use your finger as a "pacer" to guide your eye across each line. I was surprised to see that the author of this article suggests that these two techniques are not supported by scientific studies. I'm glad I have not gotten far in adopting these!
Being attractive brings its own host of problems when it comes to finding a mate, especially if you are looking for someone you really relate to at a high level rather than someone who just scratches some primal itches.

The first quartz watch wasn't unveiled until 1969.

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

A high accuracy quartz watch is accurate to 10 seconds per year.

https://www.watchtime.com/featured/high-accuracy-quartz-guid...

However, railroad standard was 4 seconds daily. That means that if a high accuracy quartz watch is never checked it may fail the standard within a year. However, a less accurate railroad chronometer will always be checked because it is less accurate.

The death of yet another free, bespoke service from the halcyon days of the web.

My speed reading method is just to skip every other paragraph. It's really surprising how effective this is for a lot of texts, and you can adjust how much you skip as you go, dependent on the text.
Taking out more than $40k/year erodes your principal though, I thought that was pertymcpert's point?

Like, if you've got $800k and can reliably earn 5%, as long as you're withdrawing only $40k you're good. But if you withdraw $41k one year, your principal is now only $799k. Next year if you need $42k, the return from your $799k is only $39,950, so your principal goes down to $796,950, etc.

From a quick spreadsheet, if inflation is 2% annually and you can get 5% on your principal, you deplete your $800k in ~32 years.

Doesn't seem too hard to fix with some supplemental income here and there?

So the thing is, the leaves are only the problem insofar as they are the source of the oil. The leaves are pressed between wheel and rail and leave a film of oil, which a steel or nylon brush isn’t going to clear.

Yes, if you get the leaves off the rails, there should never be any oil, but if some slip by your back where you started.
Doesn't seem great at all. You're just procrastinating the "reveal" to a later date where, after N amount of time invested, it might all be for nothing.

Also, that sounds like some seriously uncomfortable potential scenarios to me. Like someone who was using 10 year old pics of themselves finally meeting you at the bar. What exactly is the upside again? Getting to pretend like looks don't matter when they actually do?
For over 20 years I have owned various models of F150 Trucks

No, it's like regular crowdfunding (think Kickstarter where you see a pitch and add your credit card) but you get equity in the company instead of a product. It's still not a publicly traded corporation, just another private company but with way more individual investors owning small stakes.

AngelList [1], Fundable [2], and SyndicateRoom [3] are some popular choices for equity crowdfunding.

> I can impose constraints on my callers so that they can't accidentally call my code wrong, all the better.

This is precisely the mentality that impedes productivity in typical business delivery case. If your callers are not thinking in terms of contracts (precondition/postcondition) then you've hired the wrong "callers"; some amount of type checking may save you in some cases but your function contracts go far, far beyond the type signature - and here, with callers you can't trust, you're screwed anyway and types won't save you (and it sounds like they've given you a false sense of security.)

Better to build a process and expertise that increases correctness for the entire function contract not just the narrow bit that can be expressed in a type.

Some of the electric heaters are blowers (https://www.rwy.com/products-rwy/track-heaters-accessories/e...) while others use heating elements in direct contact with the tracks (https://spectruminfrared.com/railroad-products-and-track-swi...).

I suspect any of these mechanisms, however they work, are going to be wildly inefficient. The very premise of melting ice outside in the winter on big pieces of metal exposed to the elements seems like a huge energy sink. Whether electric heating is sufficiently more efficient to offset the inefficiencies in power generation and transmission I couldn't say, but it's far from clear to me that the 'American method' of using propane is crazy.
yup! You I replaced it with an iFlash Quad [1] -- it takes up to four micro SDs.

I also replaced the battery with a 2000mAh and keep it all in the 30gb case. I also replaced the headphone jack and lock switch so they were black.

Modding iPods is a breeze, too. Just be gentle when you're disconnecting the battery.

speed reading ruined my reading comprehension and I never recovered from it. :-/
Looks really aren't that important but context is. Dating sites don't create the environment where this building up context and friendships is possible, maybe chat sites are better? Although I haven't found an online community around something I enjoy that also has lots of women involved. which is kind of frustrating.
I'm more familiar with C#, so there may be differences, but while the DI containers do do a lot of dynamic work, it is carefully abstracted so that all code the user writes to interact with the container is type-safe. It's very rare for methods in these languages to return object or dynamic, and slightly less rare but still far from common for these to be arguments.

Isn't enabling this style exactly why generic support was such a big deal?
At the moment though, it leaves 50% of the country happy and the other 50% pissed off given how polarizing red versus blue has become.

Also... I feel like a ton of people shouldn’t be allowed to vote based on lack of intelligence/understanding of political issues.
I’ve never owned a truck before, mainly for economic/environmental reasons, but I am extremely interested in an electric truck. I’ve decided to order the Cybertruck over the Rivian, primarily for 2 reasons:

1) Tesla has a massive charging network that is expanding rapidly

2) The Rivian starts $30k+ higher than the Cybertruck
When I did my CS programme decades ago, we all started with Scheme, which is very high-level, and forced everyone to focus on the algorithms, the math of it, instead of what the hardware is doing, or how the Scheme interpreter is implemented. It gets you going, thinking about values and execution and iteration and recursion.

Starting with bits and bytes and hardware would be pretty goddamn boring, I think. You'd lose a lot of students that way.

That said, in the third year we had a course in analog electronics, which was basically transistors and logic gates.

Following that course was one in digital electronics, where we all built our own little toy 8-bit computer, wiring the CPU ourselves, writing the microcode ourselves. I'll never forget the a-ha moment when you realize that your instruction set are just binary patterns representing which wires to put a current on, which units to toggle on and off. The instruction to move a value from a register to an address in RAM has to look like this, because you need to toggle the read input on the correct register, and the write input on the RAM unit, and everything else has to be off. Blew my mind at the time.

The clock was manual if you wanted to, so you could step through and watch your little CPU run a program, or you could set it to like 1Hz and watch the thing go. And from there, you can sort of get how a modern computer works, it's just a matter of going from 1Hz to 1GHz, wider buses, wider instruction sets, but it's no longer "magic" how the CPU works, it's all ones and zeroes, for a reason, and you now know that reason.
yeah, the 5.5 is the best. Such an easy mod, too. Combined with Rockbox and it's a near-perfect media player.
At the time everyone was sure that Pascal was The Future of both OS and app development.

What happened instead was that everybody had their own Pascal dialect with the extensions it needed to be actually useful. Meanwhile, C had them all, already, and was about the same everywhere. Soon after, C++ came along, and there was again only one (although Microsoft delivered workable template support very late).

Lesson in Network Effect there. Also, shooting for usefulness out the gate.

Meanwhile, the Pascal crowd went off with Modula-2, Modula-3, Oberon, Apollo Pascal, UCSD Pascal, Object Pascal, Delphi, and countless others, none compelling. Apparently Delphi (still) has economic importance. The rest, not so much.
I strongly agree! When I was first thrust into Notes administration (version 3 no less!) I hated it. But combined with version 4 and using it more, the power hiding behind the ugly GUI became more and more apparent. I've yet to find a system that can handle unstructured data or workflows with field level replication, role based security and encryption as quickly or as elegantly as with Lotus Notes - UI warts and all. Indeed I have some workflows that I could probably automate myself in a week or so but am in the process of getting dev support to accomplish some other way.

It's too bad IBM didn't really fix the non-windows feel of Notes until version 8. By then Exchange had clearly won - should have never happened. The Notes server back end is still far more robust than Exchange. Oh well...

The title is wrong: it should reference African Swine Fever which is not the same as swine fever, which really would be labeled classical swine fever.

And swine flu is something else; swine flu is H1N1 and is not related to African Swine Fever.
Their categorizations are crowd sourced. Are they classified under something you've chosen to block?

For example, torproject.org is classified as a proxy/anonymizer. This is something people that filter networks would want to block because it defeats the purpose.

Most places aren't nearly as flammable as California. Where I grew up people don't think twice about making a camp fire, but apparently that seems next to inconceivable to some people in California. Hell, many places have too much fresh water, not too little. "Dry season" isn't even a concept in many parts of the world.

I wonder why some people type faster. If tested, I average around 125 wpm in reasonable tests (625 cpm really). I've never tried to learn to type quickly. I've never had anything beyond a $10 keyboard and I don't even type like it's taught (my hands overlap on some characters). Despite that I type quite fast with few errors - most of my mistakes are also related to typing in something completely different. It was quite shocking to me when I found out that my friends typed at below 80 wpm when trying to type fast.
There seems to be a lot of angry nerds in here, and that basically describes me too. Hoping I can get a response from somebody with a broader perspective:

I'm in a position to switch my company over to one of the many alternatives mentioned in this thread. Has anybody here actually done that, and if I do it how angry is that likely to make my non-technical staff? If I don't want my marketing guy and my customer support team to hate me, can I still switch my company over to riot.im or mattermost?
Statistically without knowledge of the underlying data, yes: bit entropy.[0]

Manning leaked the info proving US war crimes and lying, including the "collateral damage" video. She got these leaks using her own access, and sent them to wikileaks.

There were additional files she was interested in leaking that she did not have access to.

She then obtained the password hash of an account that did have access and tried to crack the password, but was unsuccessful. She then sent the hash to wikileaks, not something wikileaks asked for, along with a request for help. There was no response.

Later she was in a chat with someone using a known wikileaks chat account. The identity of this person has not been established. She asked if they had been able to crack the password hash and that person said no they had not cracked it. They did not say they tried to crack it or they approved of cracking it. They answered the question factually, no, they had not cracked it.

Manning never hacked the system, but did try to. There's no evidence Assange attempted to hack the system. There's pretty solid evidence someone at wikileaks told Manning that they had not cracked the hash she had sent them, but none that they had attempted to do so. As far as the leaks that were published, none of these involved hacking, they were obtained using Manning's granted access. They were however unauthorized exfiltration of state secrets documenting war crimes.

This is the case alleging he actively assisted a leaker in hacking crimes.
Difficult to take this analysis seriously when CNN is categorized with The Young Turks as “Partisan Left.” Regardless of what you think of either channel the programming of these two channels is dramatically different.

The fact that the tags were manually created by the experimenters and were manually assigned by the experimenters throws the results even more into question.
