They were designed for swamps, where apparently this tyre design works well. On snow, treadless tyres are essentially useless, and this was a large part of why the cruiser failed to achieve much of anything.

I suspect that at the time producing and transporting suitable tyres was extremely difficult, so they weren't able to try swapping the original tyres for something more suited to the conditions.
Depending who you talk to, you'll get the opinion that they're much lower quality than the AMD64 backends. I think that may be particularly an issue in Graal. Some people will tell you that the way Graal is designed is problematic for ARM and that's a long-term problem. I don't know if that's entirely true or not, but now we need it solved quickly if it is!

It's pretty easy to find yourself creating bottlenecked points of failure in systems that expect consistency. There may not be the knobs necessary to scale up past a certain point.

A sufficiently bad positive feedback loop can also drive you into the ditch no matter how monstrous your hardware is.
I recently watched Flash Gordon for the first time since the 1980s, and Max Von Sydow's performance was a definite highlight.

Casting a `proper' actor as the villain in a silly movie is always a great idea. (See, for example, Basil Rathbone in The Court Jester.)
I remember him more from things like 3 days of condor or Lynch's Dune. But 7th seal is a true classic in any and all possible ways. An unmistakable actor.

Respect for his work and achievements.
> Finding good talent will become harder because engineers with stable jobs will think twice before making a jump in such uncertain times.

I don't think so. If there is a recession, there will be massive layoffs. Though they'll be targeted at the least productive, the most talented will certainly be affected.

Also a weak job market will mean that talented people will accept lower offers.

No kidding - this is some pretty terrible reporting. These account openings were no where NEAR that profitable. The big whales (business accounts, high net worth etc, lending, borrowers) really did not represent in these account openings. I was actually a customer at time, they opened an account, I logged on, saw it, asked them to close it. In my case they tagged the opening onto a different account opening. But was super easy to clean up for me.

I'd be curious how folks are getting a $12B profit from these account openings which were low / no balance in many cases

Why not? I think now would be the most interesting time to be working there, where you can learn the most in the smallest amount of time. You'd gain much more knowledge powering through the hard times rather than just coasting around for the easy ones.
I think there are two worlds.

The one where shallow and social compatibility is seen as important.

The one where depth and seemingly looking sharp concepts is important.

If you care about your devs only be able to read some business logic then good, syntax familiarity is great. If you care about advanced problem solving, this is unimportant. And people prefer to iterate concise formulas presenting powerful concepts rather than instance-level readability (as in overlyVerboseNamingSchemes)

Right. Every possible chess game as a sequence of legal positions can be uniquely enumerated. Per Wikipedia the game-tree complexity is around 10^123, so you'll need about a 124 digit number to represent them. This is as dense as it can possibly get.

On the other hand, lichess supports alternative chess modes and starting boards that may or may not be reachable from the standard initial configuration and legal moves, so this won't work for those use cases.
Cryptoindex AI Daily Predictions and News for 03/09/2020
IMO this might be the most significant point in the doc. "Ship’s XO Sean Kearns refuses Captain’s mast, is court-martialed."

While underway, commander/captain is judge, jury and executioner for disciplinary issues. They call it "Captain's mast" and the powers that come with it are wide and can be extreme, including demotions and docking pay.

The XO refused to receive the ship commander's punishment while on mission. Tantamount to a mutiny.
Pity they didn't mention Dune. Not the best film, nor a big role for him, but for young me it was still a wonderful experience to watch this. He replaced the imagined book version of Kynes forever in my head.

The simple way to get a job like that, is to apply for it. Instead of waiting for someone to retire in your current company for instance.

And its not unheard of. My sister-in-law worked from startup contributor to Cisco VP by applying for the next job up, one at a time, from company to company.
Actually not true. This is the first time ever these circuit breakers were triggered during regular trading hours. Even still, on election night, stock futures were only under the 'limit-down rule'. You could have still been buying futures while that restriction was in place, so this is very much different and unprecedented

I'm not suggesting that the builder finances the R&D itself, NRE costs should be baked into the contract. What I am saying is that the entity doing the cost estimates (which AIUI is also the researcher and builder, though it could also be an insurance firm) should bear the risk of those estimates being wrong.
How to Work with Someone Who’s Disengaged
Poland. This is mostly luck of the draw though, as the office I work in was voted by some design/architecture experts to be the best office park in the whole metro area. It is definitely not a standard. Before moving there, the company hosted us in a drab place with 20 person rooms and almost none meeting/solitude rooms. It was hellish.
My direct trading account at my (very) old bank is also saying it's having technical difficulties today. It sounds like display issues, not trade execution issues though.
> Do you have any?

Excellent question!
Personally, I'd argue that a language cannot be viewed in isolation from the problems it's trying to solve.

5 years ago I maintained decades old HLASM programs for IBM mainframes during a consulting gig and haven't touched anything like it since.

I'd have very little issues reading and understanding the source code today. I couldn't say the same about the domain logic and business processes behind it, because it was very specific to the company and I worked in a totally different field since then.

This leads me to think that it's a combination of working with similar languages or in comparable application domains that makes coming back "cold" easier.

IMHO people tend to underestimate the influence of domain knowledge in the programming world and greatly overestimate the value of particular language and framework choices...
Of course. You add your intent of curation/collection. The part that's original to you is the curation itself. Not the songs being collected themselves.

It's the same with instruments that generate a sound (whether mechanical or electronic ones). The sound source might be more or less generated. But what you do with it, the music you compose and play with it, that is original to your self. But the source sound material is just that: raw material.
And this is what happens when you live wildly on the brink of tech fantasy and tech brilliance.

I believe this will be Robinhood's undoing and the company will likely just firesell itself (less than $1B) to Schwab/TD so they can acquire the younger demographic.
Without offering any tips for data, I don't think the lack of information is that surprising. Much like any other industry, keeping your supply lines and pricing logic hidden from your rivals can give you a clear competitive edge.
Stellar performance as the weary knight in "The Seventh Seal", a film more than 60 years old. Well worth seeing today and to some - with the elements of a plague in the background - of particular contemporary relevance.

Personally, I never understood the appeal of holding corporate fiat paper however it was transacted.
Further, layoffs rarely are selective. Its not so much about the skill of the people being let go; its about keeping a sustainable subset of the business alive. A talented group may all be let go, and a less capable one preserved, because they are still cost effective.

Understanding How the Brain Predicts Could Give Autism Insight
Php with mysql is amazing. I don’t get the “i’d rather have Janine ping me three times an year”. What if you leave work? What if you are too busy with your next hobby project that you don’t give a shit about Janine? What if she wants to update brochures every now and then and your manager says you’re too expensive to help Janine.

Tech is about automation. Php + mysql still serves well in this era. Wikipedia still runs on it and it’s a pretty fantastic and responsive site. So does Facebook to some degree I suppose.
I don't even know what people really mean by 'professionals'. I think it's 'people with my exact workflow'.

I mean a lawyer is a professional and they can probably do fine with a 2014 Air.
That's what I think of every time I see a post about some new VC backed startup that says they are going to disrupt an industry by creating a lean product that cuts out all of the unnecessary cruft and legacy systems. People need to learn that there's usually a reason something is done a certain way, and having barrels of VC money doesn't make you an expert in a field.

This is misleading at best. The NHS Comissioning Board has commissioned Sapropterin for use. However, due to its extraordinarily high costs and limited efficacy compared to maintaining a restricted diet, it is only prescribed in scenarios where there is an urgent clinical need for treatments like Sapropterin.

What sort of VP, IT/Development?
Well, market circuit-breakers are being triggered all over the world. I doubt anyone would be able to trade even if they could log in.
The simple answer is that the reason the system failed the first time wasn't easy to fix in the short term. Either they need to acquire more hardware resources or redesign some system so that it scales better. Not everything can be fixed overnight. Take a look at reddit - that's a website that collapsed repeatedly for months and months and months. Sometimes it's not something you can just 'fix'.
For this to be a major problem, there has to be a large group of website owners, large enough to be enticing to other browsers, who both accept tips in BAT and are reluctant to accept tips in some other, additional cryptocurrency, and Brave's owners have to be able and willing to shut other browsers of BAT tipping, no? It doesn't look likely that all those conditions will be fulfilled, even assuming that that critical mass of BAT-tip-accepting sites is coming or is already here.
Everything You Should Know About Viruses and Why Soap Works So Well Against Them
> I think the big issue here is that programmers are lazy and whine about anything they aren't able to pick up within a weekend with their prior experience and some hard staring. "I looked and I didn't get it so it's unreadable." By the same token, Greek, Russian, Japanes, Korean, and many many other languages must be unreadable, along with like mathematics.

Language design would be easy if it weren't for those pesky programmers :). I don't think you're wrong, exactly, but I'd note that few companies fully support people learning any of those (rather they rely on hiring people who studied them in university). Most programmers, quite rightly, aren't willing to commit a significant chunk of personal time to learning something with little immediate benefit, and most employers won't adopt a language that requires a significant training programme, and I'm not convinced they're wrong either.

> Boeing is probably right

From the article:
"New safety rules on wiring were adopted in the aftermath of the 1998 Swiss Air 111 crash."

These recommendations were added as a result of a crash. The crash happened a bit after the 737NG started flying (AFAICS 737NG=1997), so I guess existing certified aircrafts didn't need to be modified. It does make sense for a new aircraft though.

Do you have a reference for the claims about the repo market? I see so much FUD posted, and so few references to primary sources. Reader beware of grand proclamations and doomsday predictions, especially from new accounts, especially when they don't provide reputable sources.
The aerospace suggestion would also lend itself to battery-powered passenger flight, which is starting to creep into the realm of feasibility.

But the difficult bit is proving and scaling the tech. It looks like they're sensibly starting small, with e-scooters. I'm reminded of Mazda and the Wankel engine somehow; a "unique" topology that remained niche.

I'm afraid I don't know of any way to make the existential types hack neater. If you find one, I'm all ears!

There is an issue open with the F# compiler (https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/567) to allow higher-ranked types, but there are (well-founded) objections that this could be a pretty big jump in language complexity.

I'm honestly surprised that the Northshore school district doesn't have a lawsuit on its hands from the WA teachers' union. Requiring teachers to do something they aren't trained for, aren't qualified for, and aren't contractually required to do seems like a pretty good recipe for a lawsuit. Not to mention any privacy issues when/if online teaching requires video recordings of the teacher to be posted online.

I know a few people in the school systems here in Washington, and from what I can gather, there would be riots in the streets if this was required state wide.

> I know the cryptocurrency community has this absurd notion that nothing without cryptographic proof could or should ever be regarded as evidence. That trusting institutions, people, or processes marks you as a gullible fool, and that the Federal Reserve is conspiracy by private banks to keep the gentile from the levers of power[0].
So this is the not entirely novel situation of crypto being proposed to solve a problem that doesn't exist, and failing due to the lack of (usually: active hostility to) subject matter expertise.

It reads like you count me in with the cryptocurrency community.

If anyone else does: don't.

This was true of stocks, but if you are holding options or other derivatives which are time-dependent then a market being closed is worse case scenario. RH is largely known for their options trading after all.

Not being able to exit these high-risk positions won't just bring your account to zero, but potentially put you in the six-figure negative if you are unlucky.
> I can practically just smell the inflation.

Then the Fed isn't out of ammunition.

The purpose of Fed easing would be precisely to generate/maintain target levels of inflation. The idea that the "Fed is out of ammunition" is that its conventional policy tool (rate changes) is seen as near a limit, such that the Fed can't generate further inflation if it wants to.

But here, you "smell the inflation," so by definition the contemplated actions are in fact ammunition.

>Although the 87 professors who demanded that the invitation to Bannon be revoked asserted that they represented ‘the breadth of the University’s intellectual community’, in fact 36 of them – nearly one-third – teach at either the school of social work (20) or in the English department (16).

Considering the topic Steve Bannon, I'm baffled it wasn't more. But besides, I'm more baffled the author attempts to disclaim concern for platforming Bannon with a mere third of "automatically reject-able" professors, and then continues the argument with less than a sixth.

Is this meant to convince me of anything?
==First, there is negative rates. Punishing people for holding cash. The ECB and Bank of Japan have done a lot of pioneering work there, the Fed will have already extensively studied what they did, what worked, what didn't work.

Second, they have QE, monetizing debt & debasing dollar wealth, which is exactly what they'll unleash for the next recession. Inflation isn't much of a concern right now, so they'll feel free to 'print' rather wildly.==

I'm not sure I see where either of these options has worked. Can you share the successes of either of these measures?

In option 1, you have a stagnant Japan with a lost generation.

Option 2, is what we have been doing for 12 years and has led us to this point. The inflation seems to be hiding in asset prices (housing, stocks) not household items.

Since 2007, there has been one year with GDP growth [1] above the annual deficit as % of GDP [2]. That was 2015, with 2.4% deficit and 2.9% GDP growth. 2018 saw the US spending 3.8% of GDP in deficits to generate 2.9% GDP growth. Does that sound like a "strong" economy?

I don't think so. Halting would allow the traders to get a cup of coffee and switch to another mental gear. A slowdown would probably just keep them in gear and result in a lot of anxious refreshes and attempts to wrestle the system.
Tell them it's like the command pattern in OO.
That was a pretty amazing death scene.
Haven't looked into the Plemora code myself, but it'd likely be feasible to patch it to be sqlite compatible. Unless there's a lot of Postgres specific SQL (triggers? mat views? hyperlog data types?) and the older version of Ecto the SQLite adapter uses. Still it would be fun to something like Plemora run on a RPi4 without needing Postgres. Then again, maybe Postgres would run alright... :-)
Ask HN: What arguments are there for native mobile development in 2020?
I'm wondering what arguments are there to defend the use of native development for either of the current popular mobile platforms.

I've heard from quite a few folks about how native development allowed applications to have a more platform-specific feeling, although nowadays frameworks seem to have a plethora of options to customize the app based on the platform, while allowing a much quicker development. Is there any point in developing native apps nowadays outside of some niche case?

(Disclaimer: I'm not advocating for frameworks or anything like that. I'm actually a native developer myself.)
