The debug assertions can panic on code which has defined behavior in production, but behavior that's probably wrong, and probably would be asserted in production if it weren't too expensive.

For example, if you do "u32::INTEGER_MAX + 3" in debug, it will panic, but in production code it will not (and will use the underlying CPU's result of "2")

In most scenarios, this is not actually what you want. If your program has the possibility of doing arithmetic near or past the bounds, you should define the semantics you need.

I.e., you can use one of saturating_add, wrapping_add, checked_add, or overflowing_add, depending on the semantics that are correct for your application. All of these behave the same between dev and prod.

US companies don't have citizenship. The big Chinese companies are mostly owned by high ranking party members, but if the US government does ill against Google it'll be shipping off to <insert tax haven here> before you can blink.

Google isn't even in the top 25 of employers in the US - it's theoretically a large revenue source[1] but losing it would be nothing to the US economy when compared to losing a company like Walmart.

1. US employees at Google probably do pay some substantial income taxes - Google evades corporate taxes much like other corporations, but seems to be a bit less ridiculous in its effort than, say, Amazon.
Apparently Germans do need to be told to spend money.
I find it odd that they would publish a video showing performance numbers from out of date hardware. I mean I believe you - I watched the presentation in their custom processor and it’s quite impressive. Just weird that they’re showing old performance numbers. Perhaps this video is old.

That document is widely misread. It's true that the bank doesn't have to wait around for a saver to make a loan (they can borrow from other banks), but at the same time banks do fund most of their loans through deposits. Look at the balance sheet for any commercial bank, and you will see most of their liabilities are in the form of deposits.
Yes, you can map over them, and it's great! I think they satisfy all of the monad rules, but I'm forgetting what they all are at the moment.
So many hidden gems on github. I’d been searching for something like this.
I've worked under people who are on public boards. I can tell you that in their cases it was very easy money. Even more so since I did a lot of their work for them. Not everyone treats it that way, but it's cushy for a lot of them.
William Hill US | Functional Scala Engineer | Jersey City, NJ, USA | ONSITE | Full Time
The thing that distinguishes our team (and the reason I chose to work here) is that our CIO is a functional programming evangelist who understands that you can't just hire a team of FP enthusiasts - rather, you hire great engineers interested in being challenged and train them to become FP enthusiasts. We have a formal training program ("Scala U") that will show you basic scala syntax but its real purpose is to train people in how to become functional programmers with a combination of mentorship, pairing, classroom, exercises, and books. He's easy to talk to and super-enthusiastic, and I personally have learned a lot from him.

Feel free to send me questions or message me if you're interested.

Job Description:

We bet we can be a great match

When we say cutting edge, we actually mean it. Here, you can work on highly reliable systems with low latency, much like the transactional systems of the best financial institutions, but… with fun included.

About us:

Working with us you’ll be at heart of the technological revolution of one the world’s most trusted betting and gaming companies. We deal with projects ranging from desktop or mobile casinos and betting sites… just to name a few. We process 500 online Sportsbook bets per second each Saturday, that’s the same as orders processed by Amazon UK, on its busiest day of the year. We deal with more than 20 million users daily. Impressed? You can be sure there are many more challenges waiting for you.

Your role in the team:

You are either already proficient in Scala and functional programming or enthusiastic about learning. Your language experience includes any of the following:

Consider applying anyway even if you don't have professional Scala or FP experience. We will seriously consider anyone who passes our technical bar, regardless of how they got there.

A bit more about us

You will become a key member of our Digital hub, which is integral to our brand and success. Whether it's working out the odds on the winners of the Kentucky Derby or the Super Bowl, our work has a direct impact on every customer who places a bet. And putting that experience front and center of everything we do has helped us become a real betting powerhouse in the UK – and now we're bringing that expertise to the US.

We're using agile principles to develop a culture where we champion autonomy, creativity, and originality so that we can keep growing. We code the platform which our odds traders use to update the prices on live events. Making sure our customers have up to the minute in-play chances right there and then. And we really do mean that our teams process 464 bets every single second. Our platforms have to reflect millions of real-time, In-Play sports events, so developing systems that are designed for low latency and high throughput is critical.
More about optimal line lengths if you're curious.

With line lengths that are too long, the user may have a hard time tracking back to the next line. Line lengths too narrow, the user's pacing and rhythm is thrown off. https://baymard.com/blog/line-length-readability
I picked up the M142 (Ryzen 5 3500U variant) a couple weeks ago for $329.

I’m super happy with it for the money — there really aren’t any competitors at this price point that are in the same size/weight class. It’s even better that the RAM, NVME (2x) and wireless cards are all socketed — that’s something that most current high end ultrabooks don’t offer these days.

So far I’ve added a Samsung 970 Evo Plus and installed Fedora 31.

FYI there was a Motile subreddit (/r/motile) for anyone interested in discussing these further.
Imagine if cars were given the same authority to generate citations as redlight cameras and schoolbus cameras. They'd be cheap to free and financed by kickbacks from law enforcement.
would that more languages let you do this proactively.
Someone mentioned practice, and yes that is key. When I decided I was going to learn how to sell, I quit my job and went work in new car dealerships; it took me a couple of years and hundreds of negotiations before I became a force to be reckoned with.

Read sales books like those written by Zig Ziglar and Jay Abraham. Voss is awesome (though the title is a misnomer as he does advocate for splitting the difference in a part of that book). Some of his best advice is that of mirroring--it works like magic.

Never forget that if you are not prepared to walk away, you are not negotiating you are capitulating. Love or hate Trump he understands this fact about negotiating and he owns it.
The issue is that AMP forces companies to use a lightweight site instead of just letting them know how to build a good lightweight site. When you can't include a bunch of bad legacy code and a bunch of off-site resources, the page speeds up dramatically regardless of if it's amp or not. Unfortunately the only thing that made this push happen was Google prioritizing AMP.
So is there no co2 tax paid on used vehicle purchases?

I'm mostly curious how this impacts lower income folks who won't likely be able to afford a shiny new EV.

> Instead, it's much better to use the main node process to handle all exclusive USB access, and then push state to renderers using IPC.

You should absolutely not do this - don't do anything in the main process at all; blocking it even a little bit makes your entire app janky and hang'y. If you want to connect to USB hardware in an isolated context, create a hidden renderer process (aka a BrowserWindow that you don't call `show` on), though tbh I would just use your existing BrowserWindow, I'm not sure why you immediately dismiss it as "poor design".
Yeah the perpetual three day weekends is a game changer.

And I agree this plays in to politics well. Reduced working hours would boost employment among other things. I’ve heard in some countries you can unilaterally declare how many hours you want to work and your employer is obliged to accept. I don’t know the details, but if it works it would be wonderful to have that here.
Don't forget that the re-engineered Microsoft Office was made available on OSX not long afterwards.

That move alone (plus Bill Gates' appearance at an Apple event) might have saved the platform, not only by making it more attractive to users, but also by giving the platform more credibility with larger enterprises.
Shouldn’t this jitter be seen purely as additional accuracy to the human eye? It isn’t like there is a need for motion stabilization in execution of the algorithm.
Super late reply, so it's likely you won't see this... (Too bad HN doesn't notify on replies).

I'm not complaining about Flux in general, I'm talking about the specific example (the UNet) he brought up that he uses to claim that Julia is so elegant.

Can you elaborate on what Flux can do that Pytorch can't?

You don't need a new browser for that, people could use a small subset and have wicked-fast, private, (more than otherwise) secure sites today.

They work very differently. Each has its own vibration / frequency. The increased dosage might increase amplitude (or intensity) of the experience, but not that vibration / frequency. I don't know how else to describe it. We need more bards like Terence McKenna.

The very fact you remembered the bed at all is a huge win for that ad campaign and would be seen as a success, not a failure.

And the fact that ad caused you to purchase something (doesn't matter if it wasn't the bed itself) is a huge win for Google's Youtube advertising strategy. The net result is still causing you to part with money.
You are probably right about all takedowns being done through DMCA. I wish Google was more clear about it.

Your Reddit guide was very good but I would still not call a strike the same thing as a DMCA notice. YouTube doesn't have to have a strike system, they do that to placate the major rights holders who don't want to deal with serial offenders so that there's not a big court battle about whether YouTube knows they are uploading copyrighted content. ContentID serves the same purpose, to shield YouTube from liability. But YouTube lets copyright holders abuse these tools and so far has gotten away from trouble for doing so.
Parent here, I proudly have employees and collaborators of Chinese descent. It has nothing to do with racism. It is the stated position of the self-subscribed group of Western democracies that privacy is a priority, and the leaders of those groups cast their position in opposition to that of the Chinese Communist Party.

Mostly it comes down to essential vitamins like B-12 that are all up in the meat biz.

Thanks for doing that.

Back when I hired a lot I'd always ask candidates how their job search was going and what other businesses they are excited about besides mine. Kind of tacky, but it always alleviated nerves on both sides of the table. Companies with attitides like yours would always come up. What some companies ask candidates to do during their job search is pretty ridiculous.

Hoop jumping is probably required for their first couple jobs, but after that the employers are the ones competing for talent.

> It seems like no control or adjustment is made for individual vs joint returns (and therefore none for household size).

Adjusting for the latter doesn't require consideration of the former at all, and consideration of the former doesn't much help with the latter, so the “and therefore” makes no sense.

What you need for the latter is just consideration of the number of personal exemptions, not filing status.
> Without inequality you'd also have to give up Teslas, SpaceX, and all those initiatives Bill Gates is investing in.

I hooked it up and had a quick play around with it for a proof of concept project at work, unfortunately that project never went ahead in the form that would have used Zombo, but during testing it was a breeze to setup and seemed to do everything it promised more or less straight out of the box.

I'd definitely give it another, proper go if I got the chance.

I may have a biased sample because I know more former SpaceX employees than current ones (and I'm sure it varies from team to team), but being overworked is the #1 complaint I've heard. Like, to the point where someone working 60 hour weeks is considered a slacker because they take Sundays off.
You just posed a question no socialist can truthfully answer!
Thats kind of missing the point. Original poster wanted a minimal browser that has lower security surface.

This is sort of like saying: Just because the computer doesn't have a password doesn't stop you from simply not using computers you're not supposed to. So your problem is not with the lack of passwords but with people who use computers they aren't supposed to.

The creapiest thing to me is that this post is 7 hours old, and the comment states it's disabled. It was fixed within 2 hours. Ergo, the NSA is actively monitoring HackerNews and taking quick actions when needed.

JavaScript was Scheme and Smalltalk !?!
All this jitter couldn't get some physics ? If it recognized a object moving couldn't it do some approximate dynamics calculation to predict it's location on the next frame and use that to help the networks ? Especially in the end where you see the stopped cars blinking.
cheers to you too!
> I don't understand why so many smart "tech people" fall for the hype.

Maybe it's just that some of these "tech people" are not that smart at all?

> And that is the problem with self-driving hype. Every time you ask about a specific detail it gets hand waved away as not important or some kind of edge case that doesn't matter.

I think you are you spot-on with that analysis. Way too much hand-waving going on.

But that is a constant problem in tech, the entire area is susceptible to hypes and fads, with hands waving and waving at record speed. Like I said, maybe it's just not all geniuses and such...
In React, the Wrong Abstraction Kills Efficiency
Presumably that sort of thing does exist at some other layer. But the design goal here is, obviously, very much NOT to reduce the false positive rate via clever filtering, it's to reduce the rate of collisions with REAL OBJECTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT. Tolerating some false positives, and the phantom braking incidents that go with them, is going to be needed.

Basically, no, you don't just throw it at some Bayesian math or a Kalman filter to make it look prettier. Yikes.
If it was something like a 5 year gap I'd probably have some questions at least about what was going on in that time, a year or so and I probably wouldn't notice as long as everything else on the resume looked good.

Just in case you do not know, like me.

“ I’m not proud, but I’m happy that I chose Scheme-ish first-class functions and Self-ish (albeit singular) prototypes as the main ingredients. The Java influences, especially y2k Date bugs but also the primitive vs. object distinction (e.g., string vs. String), were unfortunate...

I still think of it as a quickie love-child of C and Self. Dr. Johnson‘s words come to mind: “the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good.””

Self is smalltalk dervied. Scheme is lisp descendent. Java is c++. And JS as said is just evolved ...

There is a reason why someone has demo 3 styles of programming in it. Just evolve to be everything.
The point of tokenizing is to minimize the number of times you ever need to handle the actual password, in part to avoid exactly those attacks.

Not all AES implementations will use AESNI instructions. Support for those instructions is relatively new -- many systems in productions still lack them -- and they're hardly necessary for a non-performance-critical implementation like this one.

A better signal is the presence of the S-box tables (63 7C 77 7B...). Even that won't detect applications which use an implementation from a shared library, though.
