I'll have to disagree. The primary motivation for J was that APL could not penetrate into mainstream software development because the world-wide installed base of IBM PC or clones simply could not deal with the character set without much mucking around. It went as far as having to purchase very specific graphics cards so that you could swap out the character ROM. BTW, when I say "graphics cards" the mental image should be a very primitive character-mode only VGA card that is stone age when compared with today's cards.

In my experience it is difficult for non-APL-ers to truly understand just how bad it is to lose the symbols. The only approximation I have been able to find that clicks with some people is to compare it to musical notation. Anyone who reads musical notation understands the value of symbols very well.

I can't relate to the idea of writing code on a mobile phone. I have never done anything that useful, even with my iPhone X. I barely want to reply to emails with it.

I wrote a paper for an APL conference back in the dark ages. Printing the paper with APL characters as well as normal text entailed a double printing process where I had to change the ball on the IBM printer between APL and standard characters. I actually wrote a custom print program (in APL, of course) to manage the entire process and, of course, wrote the paper in APL using a custom text editor I wrote as well (Wordstar couldn't handle the task). Think of it as Jupyter Notebook (but not as sophisticated) for APL. Ah, the good old days when you had to create all the tools you needed yourself!

Another way to look at it is: Had Iverson focused on advancing APL to the next stage, computer systems would have caught-up with the language. My guess is that the economic viability of his business forced his hand. I can understand this, of course.
There are other options out there that don’t include DRM but also don’t advocate piracy. For example GOG.com
I've always wondered if it's possible for there to be a steady-state universe, where it expands continuously like it does now, but new matter is added at a matching rate, keeping the density constant.

I suppose metallicity measurements of the oldest stars would exclude any such scenario, but it's fun to think about anyway.
You don't have to worry about that BS if you use free software alternatives either. Plus you get to contribute to an alternative ecosystem that is also a lawful and moral alternative (Because piracy is both illegal and immoral in many circles.)
> NIST disagrees

I'd say whoever wrote the NIST article is wrong because there's absolutely no grammatical reason to hyphenate, but that's a minor nit.
The problem with null results and boring results is that there are too many of them.
That headline is both correct and hard to understand for people who are not into astronomy. I.e. pretty bad for a popular science article.

This is super hard.
OK, we see a dynamic, late-binding, object-oriented, interpreted language with a VM.

If I were to try and make this language interesting to the HN audience, I'd start with two items:

* What is interesting in Elena, compared to Python?

* What is interesting in Elena, compared to ES6?

* For bonus points: What is interesting in Elena, compared to Smalltalk?

Without answering this questions, I don't see why I should take a look. And there must be some differences, e.g. around the concept of first-class messages, which apparently are related to Smalltalk.
I bet they just made this as a throwaway and it worked fine when it was 1% of traffic and maybe they just haven't looked at it again. I bet if the APNIC people harassed them they would change it.
> and clearly many people don't want the direction Firefox went in.

A majority? I doubt it. I think it’s an extremely vocal minority that don’t care about the slowness of their browser (pre-e10s, pre-quantum), about things breaking (XUL extensions) or about UI features for the broad masses.

I’d bet money that FF’s 25% in Germany would be far closer to US numbers if they stayed where those vocal people want them.
I love the “bouncing droplet” experiments. There are some cool videos of it on YouTube for those that want an intuitive macroscopic analogy to how quantum mechanics work.
It was literally an e-machines desktop.
As a university student (not attending the university mentioned however), I can chime in here. If we chose to come on-campus, we were given an addendum to our housing agreement to sign before we moved in. Simply put, no addendum signed = no housing (since they reserve the right to terminate one's housing for any reason). I imagine it's a similar situation for many universities nationwide.

Regarding your second point:

> Presumably “suspension”, while framed as a punitive measure against students, is legally just the college withdrawing from the contract under previously agreed terms?

The article addresses this: private universities have a lot more leeway on how they conduct business.
Yes, all of them, literally all 50. No exception.

Do we have public school available nationally?
But while you are working at macdonalds you cannot simultaneously be working for KFC.

Reading stuff like this really concerns me. If you go to /r/worldnews, /r/news or /r/politics, there is literally none pro-right content, and all the comments in existing posts are bashing the GOP/right/Trump/whatever.

I am not an EnLiGhTeNeD CeNtRiSt, I am not from the US at all. Its just weird to see the echo chamber reddit is, calling ALL the people protesting against BLM racists, nazis and what not. At the same time, they are celebrating BLM rioters looting and assaulting people they dont like, but its ok, because they are nazis and racists.

Dont even get me started on Toronto BLM chapter founder saying "White skin is subhuman" - https://twitter.com/therealmissjo/status/966347556304367618 or Bill de Blasio quoting Guevara's "hasta la victoria siempre" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqS1nZkB9sg .

Now why I am concerned. Some people on reddit are calling for forceful disbandment of the GOP. Guys - having just prominent 2 political parties is bad enough already. Reducing that number to 1 is a bad idea IMO.

"But the Democrats are sensible and smart unlike those racist Republicans!"... I wonder where this slippery slope ends. I am sure there's nothing good at the end of it though.
I live on the mountain above Los Gatos on the border with Santa Cruz. Yesterday everything smelled of smoke, and the outside was covered in white ash. Today no smoke smell and blue sky as the wind is blowing away from me towards the fire. Better right, but...the area next to me just went red with evacuation orders, and we are next.

We just packed up the important stuff and have it waiting in piles near the door. It is interesting what you think about taking. Clothing for everyone, meds, etc. The FreeNAS box with all the photos and like. The wedding album. The flag from my grandfathers coffin. Books and photos from family that are now 100+ years old. A painting that hung over my grandparents sofa, and then my parents and now mine. My daughter packed a stuffed animal I gave her when she was 6.

There are a ton of very expenses items that do not make the cut. It’s the things that drive happy memories but are of little monetary value that do.

A lesson in perspective I guess.
Honestly, from all the posts only actionable I could figure out, is to have multiple backups of important files, preferably real-time.

Whole thread is about repeated tropes of why they hate subscription/Adobe/MS etc. All these comments on alternative s/w for Desktops are funny and typical HN as the issue is with mobile apps and none of the comments showed any pattern with Adobe of poor QA. Assuming, none of the alternatives will ever have a catastrophic bug is also ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
Or when you tell them to get to that in X weeks that you can't guarentee it against breaking bugs.

I think some technologies, specially the ones related to web, cause this fatigue more than others.

It's probably because web devs build and switch stacks at a higher velocity. I'm in my mid-twenties and have seen 4 monumental changes in frontend development alone.
While not as advanced retouching features as LR digikam matches the features you list. I have used it for more than 10 years and like it.
Haha. Been there. Seen that. I do feel for you though.
Yeah, in my opinion. The catalog gives you loads of power, eases the culling process, allows you to easily export batches of photos with recipes, do searches against metadata.

It also has 'sessions' which are aimed at individual shoots or projects. I suspect most pros use them instead of catalogues. It's essentially a self-contained directory structure that C1 understands,
Now you have customer support to complain to when they lose your photos.
Out of curiosity, why continue to implement in ruby? If milliseconds are important as you mention, interpreted languages will always be slower.
Luckily not everyone feels this way, and may be willing to mail an author if they found some mistake in their open archived paper/data/document they read because they think it could be useful/interesting and the author may be willing to update it with all the relevant metadata acknowledging the edit.

The more of academia that happens outside of well defined institutions, the better for the public.
uBlock Origin is already a bit nerfed on Chrome, and will likely be completely gone in the near future. That's Firefox's killer app for "regular" users, and power users too.

It's a matter of getting the word out. Mozilla likely won't outright bundle its features as to not completely alienate Google, since they are their main source of revenue, but seem to be okay with promoting it otherwise, as it is on the front page of addons.mozilla.org and was the first extension (and the only one, for a time, and still only one of nine) supported in the new Firefox for Android.

There are also "normal" users who do not care about blocking ads and tracking, or do not know about the performance issues, malware risk, and other reasons for using a blocker and have not made such a decision, trusting the browser to act in the best interest of the user. (We know that last bit doesn't work anymore.)

(Regarding uBlock Origin, gorhill has expressed that he will not neuter the extension to work with Chrome's API change, reference: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338#iss... )
I think you’re misunderstanding the terminology. In a heat engine, efficiency is the ratio of how much heat you can move per unit of energy you put in. An air conditioner can usually move substantially more than 1 joule of heat energy from one place to the other for each joule of energy put into the compressor.

Yes, the hot side will spit out all of the heat extracted from inside, plus the energy from the compressor operation, so indeed energy is conserved.
I wouldn't call Amazon a better choice.

Academia is 'full' of people who lack intellectual integrity. Imagine Frege's response to Bertrand Russell's letter concerning barber's paradox: 'it's obvious!' Instead of doing that, Frege openly acknowledged Russell's criticism in his book.
> fussing with the humidity in the air like most AC does

Humidity will have to be dealt with no matter what, either by the AC system, or though condensation, as cold air holds less water vapour as warm air.
If you focus specifically on the sale, sure.

But if you look at what actually happens to the IP, there's a good argument that dolby has no right to any payment from a user that never touches their IP.
is there a good metric for distance between two objects in different orbits? you can say something like "must not come within x km of each other for the next n years" but extending that to all orbiting object pairs seems complex. i may be overthinking this, though?
This is more similar to Cloud Run combined with Cloud Build, when using the Dockerfile.

I don't forsee it having a major impact in the purchasing of raw meat (I think most supermarkets are on board with not selling it as most consumers don't want it). What'll be interesting/disturbing is how it's integrated into pre-prepared meals. That's where we'll feel it I suspect.
It's my understanding that early exercise is mainly only useful for tax purposes. You still won't be a shareholder until at least 1 share vests, which for a new employee, likely won't be for a year. Is that incorrect?

MUDs are what got me into programming. I was obsessed with them as a kid, although they were associated with DnD which was considered satanic so I had to hide them from my parents and teachers, who both forbid me from associating with DnD or MUDs.

Besides playing them, I actually spent more time as a "builder" than a "coder", which was an intermediate step in the hierarchy. As a builder, I would write hundreds of room descriptions, which most people never read. I desperately wanted to be a coder, the highest level of coolness in the MUD hierarchy, thus the journey began.

However, to me, MUDs always had an underground sensibility to them that something like WoW or Roblox will never replicate. The lack of polish is part of the fun, in the same way an underground punk rock show might be more fun than Coachella. I'm not sure if there's any experience like it left on the internet, I've never played Minecraft, but based on what I've read, that may come the closest.
Looks like fun...in the right environment. For example, our local lakes have vegetation that comes all the way up to the surface. Hit a "kelp" bank at speed and it will not end well. I've had the experience of getting stuck in one such beds in a rowing shell. Let's just say it wasn't fun at all.

Open water with a low probability of colliding with anything near the surface? Yeah, this looks like a blast!
Good point. User safety is Apple’s argument for their fees, and one made quite recently too.
The worst thing is, this will not even detect a well written NXDOMAIN interceptor that only hijacks requests to valid top level domains.

This article really doesn't match my recollection of how things went down. It implies that the switch to a multi-process model (Electrolysis/e10s) was held up pending the switch to WebExtensions. But I'm pretty sure I remember a transition period during which all my XUL-based extensions were either rewritten to support multiprocess or deprecated, which was years before XUL extensions were actually killed in favor of the less-capable WebExtensions. The article talks about this like it's a path they rejected, even though I'm pretty sure it actually happened. That transition was also a lot less painful than the switch to WebExtensions: over a period of several browser releases, I watched as the list of extensions preventing my browser from turning on the multiprocess capability dwindled. All the most important and popular extensions I was using made the switch smoothly with no major user-facing changes in capability or UI, which is the exact opposite of how the WebExtensions switch went.

It would really help if this article could use dates and/or version numbers to establish the timeline of events it's talking about.

IBM certainly does:

They might also know others who do it too. I must admit I've never heard of such a thing from non-IBM sources.
I used to work multiple jobs at different restaurants, where I’d do a morning shift at one and an evening shift at the other. They could be considered competitors.

What is the difference between what I did and what drivers do, besides the frequency of and duration of shifts? I don’t know what kind of laws might govern requirements here. Could be different between cities/states/countries, too.

Now, maybe they’d dictate requirements for things like shift duration if drivers were considered “actual employees” but then they’d presumably also be receiving other benefits that might obviate the need to drive for multiple services.
> I wonder how costly it is to fill your walls entirely with water pipes.

Pretty costly in water damages for sure, people tends to drive nails in pipes all the time already, just imagine this * 100x.
What is bullshit and why is there so much of it?
Writing on HN is like walking on eggshells. Everyone writes so carefully. Such a shame, since there are so many great minds here.
You laughed a lot at that? Well, you do you. Also, there is no need to call yourself dumbass. It's OK to value things in different ways. Apparently, you value the walled garden and the benefits therein. That is OK. I personally do not see that value, and I would call it a terrible purchase. For me, computing power and flexibility is more important. It's also not like build quantity is exclusive to Apple. As a final takeaway, calling strangers 'boyo', that does make you look like a dumbass.
Isn't the IP licensed in terms of sales (or revenue, or something similar) though? (I haven't looked up the specific license in this case.)
The self imposed complexity of brittle aws microservices/lambda stringed together is definitely the fault of developers. There are a handful of companies that need (and can afford!) architecture like that (maybe, Uber is backpeddling on it) but the vast majority of the world is shooting themselves in the foot and that is on developers and resume driven dev. Nothing to do with faster iterations, although that is probably how it is sold to management. The developer should know better.
Since the first and second interactions were 4 or more years apart, it is entirely conceivable that the field had moved enough during those years to warrant a genuine change in opinion.

Hard to do for people living paycheck to paycheck. Then they should refuse the job you say? Yeah right then they don't even have that little paycheck anymore.

There is a power imbalance here, and that's the root issue. The employee and the employer are not on the same level in terms of negotiating power. Hard for tech people like the HN crowd to realize, but in most areas outside overpaid overdemanded software engineering that's reality.

The first industrial revolution showed this pretty dramatically. The solution was workers rights, unions etc. Those things that others here call bureaucrats with a those-people-just-want-to-destroy-the-free-market negative subtone.

Capture One also has a ton of database bugs that can cause corruption.
"Sean: There was one issue and that was when somebody went to upgrade something and didn’t follow the upgrade instructions. But for the stuff that we built, that was processed at the peak, about 80 million calculations second handling hundreds of thousands of incoming requests a second with packed full of data, which would blow up into like 80 million calculations a second run in for a year. Not one teeny tiny little issue that to me that’s beautiful. That’s beauty to me. Right?"

Sounds poetic enough to me to get into!
Just a guess: There are some large existing customer depending on the current behaviour, and they were reluctant to make the email sending fail by patching it.
The T&C most likely require students to grant data access all the time.

I mean you can statically compile a lot of languages and literally every language is used to write tools.

Go doesn't even use a stack compatible with the system abi and has probably the worst FFI of any language I've ever used, it has a very, err, unique type system. I mean there's a shit ton of great stuff too (compile times, great test patterns and pretty good tooling, the http stack and string manipulation and green threading is fantastic), I don't have it out for go! Meanwhile rust has a completely different memory model and type system and concurrency model, has probably the best FFI of any language outside of maybe some lisps and cpython and probably D (never used it), and they've taken forever to role out production ready http client/server stacks (though I think this is finally smoothing out!) I just don't see why they're tied together except a) static compilation and b) they emerged at roughly the same time.

Rust and go are very, very different languages aimed at completely different niches.
