If Nintendo offered N64 games to be purchased for the Switch people would still pay for them in droves. It's weird that they don't offer so much of their past works in any legitimate capacity.
I don't really find much difference in the "buzz" from nic salts vs freebase, but maybe I'm just acclimated. I used to use those huge 18650 mods, but switched to a small nic salts device about a year ago. in my experience, the higher nic concentration is cancelled out by the vastly lower vapor production.
Completely on topic. Who is paying $39 for wider spaced seats when through most parts of the world, nobody is flying anywhere at all? Seems like a hail mary on the part of the airline if you ask me.
Any idea if the torrent might get updated to more than 5 of the files contained? I was quite disappointed after grabbing it.

I've met an Apple employee at a conference, just once. Talking to him was reminiscent of talking to an employee of GCHQ (which I have also done). Relaxed and affable, but wielded the phrase "I can't tell you that" with the familiarity of one who says it several times a day.

I love writing, but I regularly work with people who don't. Just wondering if folks here have any tips for dealing with:

1. Non-native English speakers for whom writing in English is more cumbersome than talking -- so sync meetings are preferred

2. Native English speakers who aren't written word/visual people and who vastly prefer a phone call (e.g. extroverts, sales folks, folks who reply to emails with "why don't we jump on call?")

Modern Vintage Gamer just released a video [0] discussing this leak in greater detail along with its expected implications.

Anyone who's curious can find the download links by backtracking through all the Pokemon Prototype General threads under the Pokemon board on 4chan.

One of the leaks that caught my attention was the source for Pokemon Blue, partially because of nostalgia and partially out of curiosity to see what an old game's codebase even looks like. The first thing that stood out to me was the project's flat folder structure, full of hundreds of files; I guess I was expecting things to be a bit more structured. The source is more readable and approachable than I expected, although I've only poked around in some of the more obvious places and definitions. I'd recommend watching The Ultimate Game Boy Talk [1] before trying to dive into any code.

You cannot promote Associate Justices to Chief Justice. The framers explicitly prevented this since they didn't want associate justices to lobby for the job.

Those zero-cost abstractions on Rust are pretty advanced, and superior to anything comparable in any other widely used language.

Your complaint stands basically to calling Rust a low-level language... what it is. It has advanced low level features, that bring productivity for some code that is completely different form what those high-level ones you point are concerned with.
I wish I had a better answer but like in almost all cases, it ends up being your network. In my case, my brother-in-law had been working for a few years at the company and he knew the founders as a couple of them were his mentors in grad school. So I knew enough about the company and when they needed to hire someone, him being able to vouch for me was enough to get me an interview with them.

That being said, I think places like ziprecruiter / indeed will still have job postings from smaller companies. The challenge, as you mentioned, is trying to figure out the good ones from the sketchy/shitty ones. Small companies can also be challenging if the management isn't great and they have bad culture. So I would definitely place a lot of weight on that if I were interviewing at smaller companies.
Sure. Per yesterday's paper, there have been 15185 cases and 834 deaths in WA. That would be a CFR of about 5%.

Now, it says the cases are 33% above sixty, and the deaths are 91% above sixty. So that would be a CFR of 758/5011, 15%.

Contrast with below sixty. Which comes to a CFR of about .7%.

If I go with just under twenty, the paper doesn't give me enough data to calculate. They are 4% of the cases, but don't even get listed in the deaths breakdown.

Under forty, the rate is about 1.5%.

And note that more testing can drive down these numbers. But it's unlikely to do so for the elderly.
That's a very ungenerous take on that blog post.

But any optimizing compiler is surely going to assume its memory model is adhered to, no? Therefore any "data races" will be undefined behaviour (even if they're atomic on physical hardware).
Immutability and thread-safety - if you want to get a value from one concurrent process to another, you have to copy it and send it to the other process. You can circumvent this by using a smart-pointer / reference to mutable data, which is manipulated by native code. One example would be a ResourceArc[0] in Rustler.

As with bugs in general, nobody sets out to write flaky tests.

Sometimes organizational imperatives like code coverage goals can result in less-than-stellar tests. Sometimes a developer doesn't understand the system well enough, and sometimes (often, in my experience) something outside the logical scope of a test changes, e.g., an underlying implicit dependency.

Even a test that is 100% reliable today may become unreliable tomorrow.

A data race does not necessarily imply a bug, even within your definition (which is only relevant for classical multithreaded applications).
Then a more similar case. I make a oil painting of the weight in milligrams of the book (either using or not the ashes in the process).

My point is that the object of the copyright is neither the physical book nor the bitstream in which the movie is encoded, but the book itself and the movie itself.

For example writing a fanfiction of a movie is not transformative because the plot, story, setting, and characters are usually all copyrighted and a fanfiction (generally) use them as-is.

The physical medium is subject to copyright to the extent it can act as a medium for the copyrighted work.

I am not saying that it is legal to sell those first ashes as a product if marketed with the recipe. So I am also not arguing that hosting hashes of movies with the purpose of facilitating piracy is legal (I actually think it is not), but I do not think the reason has anything to do with it being transformative of not.

(I just now realize that ashes/hashes looked like the set up for a pun... it was actually purely coincidental)
SCOTUS has ruled that creating a program who's purpose is to circumvent copyright, is a violation.

This doesn't contradict the claim you're responding to. It may well be that Popcorn Time is illegal by way of contributing to copyright abuse, as you claim.

But that doesn't make a DMCA claim the correct tool for taking it down. As was said earlier, a DMCA claim specifically asserts ownership of the IP in question, and that is clearly not applicable here.

So sure, there's probably some tool that could be used to get it removed, but DMCA is not it. I'd guess they'd need some kind of more general cease and desist.
It would be very presumptuous to categorically rule out that humans will create conscious beings. We don’t know how to do it yet but if nature did it, why wouldn’t we?
Ask HN: Are we downvoting comments because we disagree?
I feel like I'm seeing an increasing number of well reasoned, well written comments being downvoted here simply because folks don't agree.

Back in the mists of time when I signed up here I remember reading downvote etiquette is to bury comments which don't add value to the discussion. You can disagree sure, but you don't down vote based on just that.

Did I imagine that?

I fear that ever increasing downvotes are going to discourage reasoned and wide ranging discourse from both sides of the spectrum. It would be a shame if we ended up as another one sided echo chamber and we'll certainly be the worse off for it.

Am I the only one seeing this?
In essence you are asking me to explain how to differentiate entertainment from everything else.

It's probably best to literally ask yourself that question honestly, but a good rule of thumb might be: If it's not intellectually stimulating, it's probably pure entertainment. This is tricky because some good forms of entertainment will make you think, but probably not enough to be considered "learning" in the way we mean here.
Thanks, simplicity is definitely what I am aiming for!

Making this an OSS project is the direction I plan to take - just need to tidy up the code a bit before making it public :)

The current implementation is serverless on AWS though, and most of the "complexitly" is in the infrastructure, so as convenient as they are, I don't think I'll aim to dockerize it.
> Does the memory managed by these functions have any special properties?

That's what I'd like to read too. It's surely possible to figure that out. Obviously, nothing special is promised by the description of the functions.

I know that some people, long ago, even wrote their own kernel drivers to make sure some part of the memory won't end in the virtual memory on the disk. They didn't think VirtualLock gives that guarantee.
Well reasoned is an opinion, can you provide links to examples?
Yes, it is recirculated. The question is - does it happens with air speed 100-200 m/s like in wind tunnel so that any particles are evacuated directly from a passenger to the vent? Or maybe it happens extremely slowly and each cough spreads just like in a room, several meters around coughing person and persists for multiple minutes before being drawn to the vent? The answer is obvious.
I've had to deal with Ruby for the last 2 years, and one of the main problem is the gem ecosystem. The language and standard libraries are pretty narrow, unless you add Rails (which adds a new variety of breaking upgrade headaches).

Thus, there's always the desire to use third-party gems to achieve pretty basic stuff (localization, decent networking/REST, database drivers, etc). These then tend to go out of date. It's pretty common to find well-used gems that haven't been updated in 5, even 10 years. This puts the developer in a tough spot - reinvent the gem/wheel? Or be forced to stay on an EOL version of Ruby?
Don’t Wait to Lose Weight
Do you happen to know if there's anything similar for trying to extract similar stuff (i.e. forests-related information) from older paper-maps which have by now been digitised?

For example the old (old as in from the 1950s-1960s) Soviet maps for my country (Romania) are quite accurate, you can quite clearly see the extent of forests back then, and I think it'd be helpful if one could extract that information in an "automated" way.

For those curious the maps can be accessed here [1] by selecting the "Harti sovietice 50k" layer and by de-selecting the default layer, called "Planurile directoare" (there's a menu button on the top-left corner of the screen).

I suspect this actually isn't too difficult of a project - golang has a very nice git implementation for it that is a pleasure to use.

> Like the Associate Justices, the Chief Justice is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. There is no requirement that the Chief Justice serve as an Associate Justice, but 5 of the 17 Chief Justices have served on the Court as Associate Justices prior to becoming Chief Justice.

From (https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/faq_general.aspx).

It would be pretty odd and a weird special casing compared to the norm if the president and congress were unable to nominate a given judge to a higher position within the overall US federal court system, solely because they were on SCOTUS.
It's also worth noting that the format of oral arguments has changed for this period. Instead of a free-for-all questioning section, each justice will have a chance for N minutes to question the counsel (without interruption by other justices), proceeding in order of seniority. I can't say I'm a fan of this change.

I feel that leaning on a formal definition of a term in a way that's different from the normal usage that only matters in very rare circumstances is sniping rather than communication. You're only doing this so you can call it a mistake. Especially since you've not provided any examples.

Scheduler-dependent behaviour ends up being an absolute nightmare for automated testing and hunting of other bugs. It's not unreasonable to declare that all race conditions are bugs just for that reason.

> And many race conditions don't have anything to do with the memory model or compiler optimizations.

For example, poorly structured response-handlers in JavaScript. If the code assumes that request R1 always returns before request R2, things may misbehave if that assumption is violated. That's a race condition, but as you say, it's nothing to do with memory models or compiler trickery, as JavaScript gives you just the one thread (not counting workers).

juul pods are more sophisticated than you might think. the circuitry monitors the resistance change of the heating coil to estimate its temperature and adjusts the power to hit a target. this stops the wick from burning if it's dry (very unpleasant for the user) and delivers a consistent experience mostly independent of airflow over the coil. it takes a lot of engineering effort to make that work in such a small form factor and cheap enough to be disposable.
It's definitely better to do means-tested distribution because of the Friction of Money.

A hyperbolic example: One might be able to send fuel to Mars and reconsume some on a return voyage (taxes) but it costs fuel to get there and fuel to get back. There is no such thing as 100% efficient salvation of discretized token, so we have to distribute it intelligently to begin with.

Sorry, don’t buy it. There are legitimate criticisms of CNN. But his criticism isn’t restricted to just CNN, but to literally any media outlet that will umflattre him including NYT, WaPo and Fox News. Fox News in fact chided him quite frequently during the Republican primary until he beat them down into submission. He tried to do something similar with other media outlets and has been quite enraged that they haven’t changed their tune as drastically as Fox News did.

I think you need to question from where you have gotten the perspective that getting one or two things right in a rant somehow legitimizes everything in a rant.
