A few years ago I accidentally left my laptop at work, and couldn't program over a long weekend. I had a first generation raspberry pi kicking around so I pulled that out, hooked it up to my monitor, installed nodejs and git and got to work from there.

It took 700ms or so for my server process to even start on a r.pi - I'd noticed a brief delay on my laptop, but it was so awful on the pi that I ended up spending the whole weekend profiling and optimizing. Anyway, come Monday I pulled the changes onto my fancy laptop and they made a noticable difference in subtle responsiveness. Everything just felt faster. I probably wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't spend that time programming on the pi.

Facebook has "slow internet thursdays" or something, where once a week developers can opt in to experience their internal facebook dev environments in the same way it feels for people on slow connections in poorer countries. I think that sort of thing would be good for all of us. Programming in constrained environments makes our software work better everywhere.
The root premise of your argument is faulty: because humans can't trade as fast as computers then humans must be getting stiffed on price. Why would that be?

First off when you enter an order it's probably being routed by an algorithm trying to get you the best price.

Second, if you do slow things down the way you propose, I don't see how it still won't be a speed arms race to be the first to get involved in the trade.

Speed is good. If you want to disincentive anything it should probably be excessive quoting.
Film is mailed all of the time without issue. Film would be ruined by the luggage scanning (i.e. higher power) machines though most film is usually OK with the lower power carry-on scanning machines.
If you live 45min away from work (by motorized vehicle) wouldnt that be (at most) equivalent of using a lift from 100th floor every day?
But you can make $135K-$150K easily in most major cities in the US a software engineer with 5-8 years of experience as just a SaaS CRUD developer.

You can also get a nice large (3000+ square foot) house brand new build in the burbs in a great school system right in Atlanta for around $300-$375K with an FHA loan and 3.5% down.
That's a really great analogy, actually. You can't tell a brand-new cook "salt to taste," but you can tell a cook with an intermediate level of experience "salt to taste" even if it's a recipe they've never made before. You can't impart the experience in words, pictures, or symbols. You can't add a chapter zero that gets them there. But the right kind of experience will get you there pretty quickly.

I admit it's kind of frustrating that it can't be boiled down to a list of discrete things you need to know, but if I had to explain the difference between me before I had "sufficient mathematical maturity" and me after, I would explain it in terms of habit and confidence and other squishy things that aren't mathematical at all.

That's not what it's being used for. It's a flagrant violation of the 4th amendment. Whatever remains of it today, anyway. You don't get to do what amounts to a search without a court order with US citizens.
Ask HN: How do you disable unknown device protection on your Google account?
I never wanted it and it doesn't recognize my devices and I need access to my email... I tried to call Google but no success (I was not even able to talk to someone even after waiting for 20 minutes on hold). My password is about 20 characters long and only my password manager knows it.... I want Google to let anyone login to my account if they have the password, I don't want Google to sign me up to their "security".
The problem with that criticism is that the payoff function is absurdly nonlinear. Think of it in terms of expected values: because the outcome at one end of those error bars is so severe, it's rational to treat the "gun" part as true until it's shown not to be.

Pretty soon practicing shading and lighting skills will be as obscure as making your own paper and inks. People will still do it, but it won't be necessary.
PayPal is possibly the worst offender of the 'new world order' where you can only ever speak to an algorithm.

Totally arbitrary polices, they say 'they need this' then it doesn't work, they need more, or it takes 3 weeks, but they can't tell you how long.

We need a new bit of regulation for the new era which requires companies to provide clarity on all operational aspects and timelines etc..

The rule is pretty simple: if you have curly braces you don't need a comma (and rustfmt will drop it), if you don't have curly braces you need a comma.
And thus, another cycle is completed.
In the USA legislators and others in government have publicly voiced their support of, contributed to, and organized bail funds for specific groups of people based on their views on particular topics. One Presidential candidate's campaign (through its staffers) has also paid money towards something called the "Minnesota Freedom Fund". Why is there a contribution only to this fund? If you protest animal testing and are arrested for some similar crime, where is your bail fund? In those cases you have to organize the money yourself, people in your government don't organize it for you.

Philosophically, government is supposed to serve everyone equally, but depending on the political views of the alleged criminal, or the self-proclaimed cause that they are supporting while performing allegedly illegal acts under the banner of "civil disobedience" or "peaceful protest", there is an availability of bail funds, selective prosecution, and all sorts of other features of the justice system available on a selective basis - i.e. the banner under which the illegality takes place.

If the principle of selective/unequal dispensation of justice is wrong, it ought to be criticized irrespective of the form it takes. When it is ignored in some forms but other forms result in outrage, it's difficult not to question the motivations of whoever is amplifying this particular flavor of bias.

If it is acceptable for the system to consider banners and offer different features to offenders depending on which banner they are flying when they interact with the system, then this is also acceptable.

I personally would prefer a conversation that looks at the problem of selective enforcement across many spheres.

- Some combination of S3 / AWS CLI / EC2 when things go beyond personal computer capacity depending on where the data is coming from and going to.
And the author of the song is due any royalties for broadcasting, regardless of the performer.

David Paich gets paid every time a radio station plays wheezer's cover of Africa, while the wheezer gets no money for radio play of that song.
>Congress could have passed acts granting blanket pardons to all involved.

That's just a slightly different method of doing the same thing. I agree involving Congress in pardons would make sense.

>It might have been better for the rule of law if he had been convicted and removed forcibly, then subject to prosecution.

It would have also involved more chaos in an already chaotic time, is that better than him resigning? I guess we'll never know.
Decreasing the tick size is not automatically a better situation. Take for example the "hide not slide" order type offered by some exchanges several years ago[1]. Due to the liquidity rebates offered by exchanges (essentially get a very small rebate for having your standing limit order get filled by a marketable order) traders "fight" to get first in line to have their limit orders filled. Due to price-time priority, that would mean having placed your limit order at a given price earlier than someone else. (The hide-not-slide rule essentially circumvented this)

The only way other way to get priority is by bettering your price. If minimum tick size is set to a very low threshold (or no threshold at all), "outbidding" someone for a better place by offering a economically insignificant price improvement (say $0.000000001 per share) would become the easiest way to get price-time priority on someone, and hence the value of placing a standing limit order would be reduced: Anyone can just outbid you for a fraction of a fraction of a penny at any time, so it becomes much more likely that if your limit order gets filled, the price will then move against you, and otherwise, your limit order will never get filled. This problem exists today but would probably be made worse by a smaller tick size - in fact I believe it's one reason why liquidity rebates are offered.

You made this about Trump, maybe unwittingly. The OP was mostly about Scalise, if anyone. That was my point.

It must be noted that falsehoods about this "most powerful person in Government" are highly asymmetrical with falsehoods from him. If Barack Obama had gone around the country in 2015 claiming that Donald Trump was not born in America, that would have been worse than Trump doing the same to him, because he would have been abusing the position of authority that our society affords him as this "most powerful person."

But this isn't a battle between competing sets of falsehoods. This is a battle over the very idea of truth.

I think it would be cheaper to modernize noise control bylaws. Abating noise from modern home theater setups would take concrete walls on the order of a foot thick, which would add to housing costs considerably.
The local "expired registration" cop makes $153k/yr with <6 years of experience. How much more do they really need to be paid?

Minor side-rant: I know the law here is that you need to have the physical sticker, but why does the police department feel that the middle of a pandemic is the right time to take advantage of the DMV being slow to mail those stickers out? I bought the damned tags months ago, and they arrived in the mail this weekend...grumble grumble.
I've used this one [1] for the last four years. The cables from device to the PCs are hard wired, so I have no idea if it conforms to spec. I do know I have had zero problems with it.

I once had a wall wart style power adapter whose output side was a standard coaxial cable (like for TV).

The reason was that the signal amplifier it came with was built into the housing of a 2-way coaxial cable splitter, presumably because said housing was inexpensive and readily available. One of the ports that would normally have a second TV attached was instead repurposed to provide power to the amplification circuits.

I shudder to think what it would have done if I'd run this directly to a TV, though.
The US congress gave retroactive immunity to AT&T for this so you can't sue them for actively working with the US government to violate the constitution.

BitTorrent didn't catch on simply because there aren't very many actual use cases for it. The majority of P2P content distribution will always be illegal (due to the nature of copyright), and so the client-server model is much more representative of the real world. It is technologically pretty neat though, and some publishers do actually use the protocol for things like software updates.

Right, protesting George floyds murder is worse than the murder. They live in a fox news normalized bubble.
This type of case isn’t very clear cut, because a police officer is allowed to let somebody off with a warning. They’re obviously not allowed to let PBA members off as a blanked policy, but good luck proving that they’re doing it.

I worked with one police department once a long time ago that tried to institute a policy never letting police or police union member off with warnings. So if an officer stopped a car for an infraction, and found out the driver was police or a police union member, they had to give them a ticket for it. It was arguably pretty successful, especially since there were a lot of rumours that people were driving about with union cards trying to get tickets (no idea how true that was).
All 4 employer provided health insurance programs I've used worked that way, though only the last two were post ACA.
Babashka is only half the magic.

It is built up from SCI (small Clojure interpreter). Which is a Clojure interpreter written in Clojure. That's super cool!

Sci is awesome, and it allows you to create custom Clojure interpreters with whatever subset of Clojure + any additional functions and macros of your liking.
Reductions in faculty headcount are recent. As in, pretty much only this past year. I’m talking about the last 10 or 20 years. Replacing tenured with ad juncts or instructors is not a headcount reduction.

There already is a two-tiered system. Ad juncts and instructors are treated and paid horribly. Stripping tenure but otherwise leaving positions unchanged is downright humane by comparison.

Tbh, faculty governance is pretty dead at most places.

The problem is not only worse than you imagine it is worse than you can imagine.

Immense damage is done to the framework of reality itself by the mere act of saying that the cud the president regurgitated at 4am last night is news but that 1000 important things that happened to your community were not.

It is inevitable that news introduces "harmless" errors such as the airplane hijacker identified as "Dan Cooper" is misidentified as "D. B. Cooper" by reporters, then the F.B.I. puts "D. B. Cooper" as the name on the file because they think it sounds badass.

The most difficult problem is that the media tends to cast discussions into "two sides" that somehow need to be dealt with "equally". Frequently one side or both sides are disingenuous on one level or another, and participation in a bogus discussion is one of the best ways to "run out the clock" and keep other issues off the agenda.
I think syncing is done with a Firefox account (Firefox Sync) and i can't find implementation details, but I did find:

"Firefox Accounts uses your password to encrypt your data (such as bookmarks and passwords) for extra security. When you forget your password and have to reset it, this data could be erased. To prevent this from happening, generate your recovery key before having to reset your password."[1]

So it appears they may be encrypting data locally and syncing encrypted data without having keys.

I think you are right though, there are more website saving features available through pocket other than recommendations and I'm not sure how any of that works.

Lol. The GRU agents who poisoned Skripal literally gave an interview where they claimed to be everyday Russian tourists before their IDs were blown.

Perhaps there's an innocent explanation why three GRU agents traveled to Salisbury multiple times, including the day that Skripal was poisoned but lied about their reason for being there, their identities, and their connection to the Russian military?

I can only say glowing things about Clojure. If you have any interest at all, I strongly, strongly encourage you to try it out. braveclojure.org is a decent start, and it’s also fun to try out the problems at 4clojure.org.
To me this makes far more sense than a indiscriminate defunding. It’s what I’ve been advocating for. Defunding the police by itself doesn’t solve the problem. Firing crooked cops does to some extent.
I've seen "OOP" defined as "I have a base class and a couple of derived classes", and then I see "OOP" where you have this behemoth of factories, controllers, managers, classes with at least 6 layers of inheritance, etc.

Which OOP are we talking about?
Police working overtime is not healthy for anyone. Pay them a salary that puts them at a point where they won't want to.

A must-read for anyone who appreciates The Odyssey is by Nikos kazantzakis, a Greek himself and perhaps one of the best (and least well-known) of the past 100 years. Nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature, he wrote a truly amazing book called The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel. [0]

Even translated into English, the language is indescribably entrancing. I won't try to do it justice here. Thematically, it picks up where Homer left off: Odysseus, genius & trickster, covered in the blood of those who sought to take his home & wife, is home after 20 years of war and strife with gods & monsters. How can such a man return to a normal life?

I'm about as anti OOP as they come but I think this is uncharitable; There have been, historically, use cases where OOP was legitimately the best thing around. I think that it might be worth reconsidering on a few grounds:

1) performance bottlenecks are generally no longer CPU computation (network tends to dominate for many many things), and there is nonzero overhead to most functional operations.

2) coordination-free concurrency can in many cases often overcome computational bottlenecks, and non-OOP is far more effective for the code author in dealing with/grokking concurrency.

3) in the intervening time, functional patterns for some things (like UI) have been discovered which make fp a good fit for things that in the past were understandably the domain of OOP.
Well, I think the judicial/legal branch can overstep like any other, and needs some checks too. Letting everything be decided by a judge with a lifetime position risks the court forcing its position on an unwilling populace (think of SCOTUS's original position during the New Deal). But impeachment/packing is a radical move (itself a power play which can be just as unjustified), and doesn't necessarily help the accused as much.

As I wrote, if I had a say on this I'd go for a more limited pardon power than the current situation. I suspect our positions in the end aren't too different.

All raytracing algorithms are based on some spatial subdivision structure (usually BVH based) which gets you O(logN) instead of O(N). Increasing poly count only gets interesting when you figure out how to compress truly huge scenes into a limited memory footprint.

Lots of different materials are difficult for GPUs because of divergence - if every ray spawned from a surface scattering event hits a different material you’ve lost all parallelism.

Lots of lights: Evaluating them all for a given surface scattering event is obviously an O(N) problem (for 10 lights no big deal, but what about thousands?), so you want to choose some small subset of “important” lights to consider. Making that choice is a hard problem because the correct choice depends on the product of the incident radiance from the light, the BSDF at the surface as well as the visibility function. There’s a lot of interesting research being done on this (Path guiding by learning the incident light field or its product with the bsdf, new sampling techniques, spatio-directional acceleration structures) at the moment.
> Now, on the other hand, if you turn on the radio, the music sounds roughly the same as it did 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago rock was a living genre instead of something on life support from old geezers and rap and hip hop weren’t default music, rock was. Country has also gotten way less Christian and again, much more rap and hip hop influenced. If you listen to a years worth put number ones from 2002 it does not sound like 2022. The difference isn’t as great as 1960-1980 but “roughly the same” it is not.
My best guess is that the extra height of the B ports (quite a bit taller when you include the internal mount of the port) makes the device un-appealingly larger.

This doesn't seem as dangerous as is being suggested -- and in a world with the kernel bug and some separation of workloads it seems very viable.

Obviously, in a world without the kernel bug it makes much less sense to not set limits, but as far as scheduling goes, well-set requests (+/- a VPA[0]), with a HPA[1] should be enough to handle sudden increases in scale, and for truly large increases that are a complete surprise (otherwise you could have planned for it) elastic infrastructure via a cluster autoscaler[2].

Last paragraph:

“Policing was never meant to be held accountable in the first place, not in a meaningful, substantial way,” Wall said. He cautioned against focusing too much on the injustice of PBA cards. “Be careful that the outrage [doesn't] become directed in too narrow a way. The real outrage should be directed at the nature of policing itself.”
