It's more like 3 pages, with examples, when presented formally[1]. My point though is the standard specified behavior is quite limited, but it gives implementers broad latitude to "do loops and stuff" in a non-portable way[2] while still being in some sense standard. For example, Lispworks extends LOOP over SQL queries[3]. So sure I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek, but LOOP really is a set of not particularly compatible imperative languages that happen to be embedded in the various CL implementations. This is an artifact of the CL standardization process, which was virtually taking the set union of the features of the most popular implementations of the time, except in notable cases like LOOP where it was so hairy and incompatible that the standards body had to pick a relatively minimal intersection instead.

Wild stuff. Here's my current mental analogical model:

bacterium : animal :: computer : botnet
Also, I want to stress that while the patent "taught" how to use browser cookies for tracking, the specification was written in such a way that claims for the cookie tracking mechanism by itself couldn't be created. The specification was about a specific technique for recommending ads that would (hopefully) be in line with their interests. Accordingly, I don't believe the ad has, or can, be used offensively because I don't think that recommendation technique is being used. Rather, Google is using it to protect itself against patent trolls. (And a small additional piece of clarification, the ad was sold to DoubleClick, which itself was bought by Google.)
They provide parts to more than just dealerships. There are plenty of auto parts warehouses you can order OEM parts from.
Also mark, I would like to use your completion code as part of a back-end general completion script for pen.el, if that's ok, as I think building this in clojure is 'the way'.

Also speaking in generalities, engineers love to come up with glib solutions to complicated problems in domains they've heard about but don't have a deep understanding of.

Agriculture and its future are like candy.
root-tail made me a Linux user. E DR11 helped, but it was the ease and expectation that I was supposed to be able to monitor the various system logs that convinced me.
Just in theory: pointer/capacity pair is atomic, then you read len non-atomically and check it's less than cap before using it. Slice header today puts len before cap, but, like, if we're dreaming.

You'd probably hit other walls. I'm def. not trying to say it's straightforward!
Yeah, right? It's not even really a "feature" of anything, just an artifact of how teletype support was originally implemented in UNIX, and yet I've been hitting the enter key for my own "marks" for decades.
My naive assumption is that they don't have nearly that level of control. I'd be surprised if they have an AST step before the tokenizer, or in it.
have you tried Singtel Dash? seems to work.
Your Obsidian vault is a folder of Markdown files that use [[links like this]]. You can load your Obsidian vault folder in the open-source version of VSCode with either the "Foam"[1] extensions or Markdown Memo[2] VSCode extension. [[This style of link]] works great with either. I think I also saw a new feature (or plugin?) for VimWiki that allows [[links]] to work even when the target is in a different subfolder, but I haven't tried it myself so don't quote me on that. There are also other programs that use this style of linking.

You can alternatively set up Obsidian to use [regular markdown links](regular.md) , it's just not the default setting.

I don't think schools (in the US) have been requiring handwritten assignments (of any length) for decades at this point.
More labor intensive. Often requires large upfront capital investment and adopting of new skills to implement. Benefits are difficult to quantify.
Well see, I personally accept and support far from perfect no driver at wheel car. I doubt I'm a minority.
Lowering the buyout without lowering the upfront cost simply increases what you’re paying during the lease. Anyway a favorable buyout price means they lose out on charging you for excess mileage at the end of the lease because you can simply buy out the lease and skip those fees.
And Google Authenticator generates QR codes so you can copy the TOTP secrets from your old phone to your new one.
I’d say this is a pretty unfair assessment. Sure chemotherapy such as nitrogen mustards are still used (because they are effective) but plenty of newer drugs are very targeted.

And it’s not like our approach is all that different for other life threatening diseases. Multi-drug resistant infection? Let me use antibiotics on you that will make you deaf and maybe damage your heart.
no, no, brexit told us everything we need to know
You don't need to learn to code, and neither do your kids
I'm a Software Developer, but I don't see why everyone should have to, or feel like they have to, learn to code.

In general, kids and adults alike, but especially kids, should spend more time being active, around others (within reason, these are extraordinary times), and outside - not in front of computer screens.

Not everyone is cut out for or interested in coding, just like not everyone is cut out for or interested in baking, medicine, law, a trade or literally anything else.

That's not a value judgement, or a judgement of people's intelligence (or lack thereof - unlike a lot of techies, I don't believe we're smarter than everyone else), or a belief that you can't acquire or develop skills - it's just common sense.
Does transferwise work there? It's worked great for me and the fees are transparent and low.
I like Stargate too. In fact these days it's the game I'm playing. Though I go back and forth. For me, back in the day, I went from Stargate to Defender because the 7/11 got rid of their Defender and the Safeway on the next block got a Stargate :-)

What I noticed about Stargate back then, coming from Defender, was that it was easier to shoot things. I think this was because the Stargate chip was an upgrade--the faster CPU wouldn't steal time slices from me at odd moments, so the game was more predictable. I remember Eugene Jarvis and Sam Dicker talking about the Defender->Stargate upgrade process at the California Extreme arcade convention in 2014. Stargate is a fun game, and these days I play more casually, not really trying to perfect my skill.

As someone else in the comments noted: Defender is more raw. It's like those characters from the older version of the Matrix: Difficult to kill. It's like Yngwie Malmsteen's demo tape before his first album. There is a basic visceral appeal to it.
The other extreme, like at my university, is to drill writing everything (and cover less-interesting topics like telling the time, and almost useless words like '雙胞胎' - how many twins are there in China, Confucius Institute?!)

I suspect most of your problem comes from trying to read isolated characters.
Tips on Hiring a CTO
So we are an early stage startup. Lost our original dev team (1 bacnded + 1 front end) during the lockdowns (they are alive, we just had to let them go) but have recovered, and looking to hire a CTO. Problem is, none of us (founders and execs) know how to hire one. Any tips on how we can find and qualify prospects?
>Manufacturers are taking it away for future guaranteed service income

Maybe I don’t understand the industry, but I was under the assumption that most OEMs don’t do the repairs but only supply the OEM parts. Is this incorrect?
There's multiple reports and studies on this in the last month that put New York either in dead last or second to last (after Michigan).

If you look at CNN's report, New York is doing the worst in every single metric where they compare states against each other: https://www.cnn.com/business/us-economic-recovery-coronaviru...

TOP Agency, who specialize in marketing data, put out this report putting NY second to last: https://topagency.com/report/pandemic-recovery/

Both get their data from different places and corroborate each others' findings.

I not only have data, but I live here and have been traveling the US all year. You can see this plainly with your eyeballs. The state of NY's economy is complete shit.
> Unless I've missed it in my reading, I don't see any of these clearly stating that the single-return form of channel receive will fabricate zero values when misused, or describing how you need to replace a closed channel with a nil when selecting on multiple channels to avoid spinning the CPU when it's been closed.

You certainly missed this: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Close

When people say reduce the size of the government they're not saying just get rid of the people who can issue the permits. They're saying to get rid of the permits altogether. You shouldn't need the government's permission to fix computers.
Ask HN: What is the architectural legacy of Hadoop?
I was thinking through - what the computer systems / architectural legacy of Hadoop is.

In Databases, the physical query plan streams data. Hadoop seems to have contributed that when running on cheap hardware or at scale, you can write intermediate results to files, so failures are handled better.

Is there anything more to it?
Exactly. Every drug manufacturer has a safety lab where drugs and intermediates are run through a safety evaluation (drop hammer test, heating until decomposition).

This drug is unique in that it’s highly exothermic when it decomposes at 170C, but yeah, not exactly a risky “explosive” to work with.
> do you think you could come up with a piece of software which would be less ephemeral and more lasting

Take a look at the sort of old software people write emulators for.

There's an active scene that resurrects 70/80s video games - Space Invaders/Galaga/Defender et al have way way longer useful life than most of the software written in the subsequent ~40 years.

IBM maintain a VAX/VMS emulator, and there are various ports if it (including OpenVMS and an x86 version). This is mostly (I think?) used for "legacy apps" particularly finacuial/governemnt/adacemic/military software written in Cobol, Fortran, or Ada.

Looking at those sorts of software would be interesting in terms of knowing what sort of 40+ year old software people still care about...
My personal heuristic on reward curves is the opposite - if they're separated it probably means the baseline is weak rather than that the new method is revolutionary. Close curves probably means the paper is comparing to a strong sota method. A paper that barely clears a weak baseline would be unlikely to be accepted, so an incremental improvement is more likely to indicate a rigorous evaluation. Then again, as the author says, heuristics are imperfect, so who knows.
https://angel.co is a good place to post. Also it sounds like your "CTO" role is just a full stack engineer with a fancy title. You should be upfront about that.
Better as it is solar… can it use similar firmware with similar c and web server?
Look. I will never own or consider a Tesla given what i've seen, and will happily take them to task.

But i think this is a bit far. It's pretty common in ICE vehicles for the oil pan to be easily damaged by road debris, and the oil it spills is more toxic than coolant.

In particular, the Tesla's use glycol for cooling, which is not that bad to spill (certainly better than most oils).

So while certainly not better than the status quo from a design perspective, it also doesn't seem worse than most vehicles in this respect.
When I got my TI-89 long time ago, I remember that the TI programming scene was very vibrant back then. Many game ports and all of sorts of interesting software.
Circa 1850 one branch of my family, who had been bootmakers for at least 4 generations in a small town in Scotland, in the course of a few years had all their children leave for the big city, with my ancestor running a coffee shop. This lines up with what I've read about mechanisation hitting the shoe industry.

In the early 1900s, my great-great-grandfather's orange sorting machine was the talk of the town: there was an article in the local paper welcoming anyone interested to visit for a look.
For my part, I’d think of things like:

+The internal combustion engine

+Chemotherapy (which will hopefully seem shamefully primitive compared to future cancer treatments)

+American football, which is already starting to seem barbaric IMO
There's other stuff like the moon roof motor is buried DEEP in the dash instead of right next to the window like most other cars so it requires huge amounts of labor to remove when it breaks. Or that the car can wind up with a dead (12v [0]) battery while connected to a charger. To then charge it you have to pull off numerous panels under the frunk.

APNICs info seems to show AUD 1180/year, not per month? Includes one ASN, one /24 on v4 and a /48 on v6. It's still significant, but not crazy.
Isn't what you are describing actually L4 autonomy? At L3 the human still needs to be attentive and ready to intervene at very short notice - so you definitely cannot eat a sandwich or text while in the driver seat.

L4 autonomy is where the vehicle is fail-safe. It cannot handle all conditions, but is able to recognize conditions it cannot handle and hand control back to the driver. Importantly if the driver is not responsive to takeover the vehicle can put itself into a safe state (mostly just means pulling over in a safe place). L4 is the minimum at which you can be fully distracted from driving.

I don't think Tesla has a viable path to L4 using its current hardware...
‘Tis better to have antibiotics and lost them than to have never had them at all.
They didn't have comprehensive insurance but Tesla didn't verify it's mentioned in the video.
Here you go, all space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7SOiKahy_k

Definitely not easier. But good practice.
Sure, but in this context, the drug we're talking about exploded with a drop hammer test, right? That seems more like nitroglycerin than C4.
Steve Jobs though he could cure his cancer through diet.

I'd guess there would be frames of reference (with relative high-speed motion) in which you'd appear at the destination before you've left the origin. The laws of physics are supposed to hold regardless of which frame of reference you use.
I mean, GCP is a decent source of revenue for them. i.e. last quarter:

* Alphabet did ~$55 billion in revenue overall last quarter, ~$4 billion was from "Cloud", which is GCP + Workspace (I don't think they disclose how much is GCP alone?). Although, for now it's a money loser for them, they had operating losses of ~$1 billion for Cloud, but the operating losses are shrinking over time, it'll become profitable eventually

* In contrast, Amazon did ~$108 billion in revenue overall last quarter, and ~$13.5 billion was from AWS. Although unlike GCP, AWS is highly profitable, ~$4 billion in operating income for the quarter, which is almost half of Amazon's total operating income

But AWS isn't THAT much higher a percentage of Amazon's revenue than GCP is of Alphabet's revenue. And in terms of COSTS, AWS is actually spending less, relative to their overall revenue (Amazon spending ~$9.5 billion of $108 billion total revenue on AWS, Google spending ~$5 billion of $55 billion total revenue on "Cloud").

AWS has been around longer than GCP, and they've certainly spent more absolute dollars, so it makes sense it's further ahead and more polished. Yeah, AWS is more used to selling things to end users than Google, they may have a better culture for quality there, but Google invests heavily in GCP, and it's a pretty significant revenue stream for them. I'm guessing their motivations are similar, both see Cloud offerings as a big revenue stream first and foremost.
This is good PR and a way to keep the story in the headlines.
As a non physicist, the first question sounded like yes there is an ability to adjust speed if you can adjust the energy density distribution. I didn’t see an answer on the second beyond that the energy density required at the center is zero which leaves hope for a place to put a vehicle there at least, your question of flat space aside.

Curious if I read this right tho.
Growing lentils is a great idea, but the developed and developing worlds' palates also need to also change course toward consuming less climate-damaging foods like meat and more lentils, chickpeas, and other pulses.

If you like lentis, you too can experience the joys of the US Humanitarian Daily Ration, NSN 8970-01-375-0516 [1]. It's vegetarian. It's kosher. It's halal. It's cheap to manufacture. It can survive being air-dropped without a parachute. It's heavy on lentils.The US military gives it out to starving people.

"We rode bikes. His work was a lot more advanced. Einstein wouldn’t give me the time of day!"
I’d likely welcome that. The novelty would remain and new generations of folks would get to experience what’s great about the Olympics.

The cost to rebuild infrastructure may be more at one time, as every 12 years (likely 3-4 years before the event) there would be a push to upgrade facilities, but I think that could be planned for.

That is an interesting idea.
You say that now, will you say that when (not if) a driverless car kills a kid or animal that a human wouldn't? Were you ok with Uber's killing?
Are Tesla owners that price sensitive in the first place ? They could have bought 2 Toyota Corolla for the price of long range Model 3
My grandfather had an old-school windup watch that he thought would be his most cherished heirloom. Either my sister or I still have it somewhere (safe-deposit box), but it's never really resonated with any of his descendants.

He also had a beat-up metal whiskey flask from his time serving in the Canadian Army in World War I. This is a family treasure! The inner lining is corroded, so you can't drink from it, but it looks stunningly cool on a shelf. It evokes Lt. Fleming and the whole damn war in ways that let one's imagination run wild.

I kept it visible for many years, and when one of my sons wanted it as a keepsake, I said yes -- being able to tell from the way he asked that it would mean a lot to him, too.

In his essay, Silas House (OP) does a great job of highlighting the way that the best heirlooms don't have to be beautiful or costly. Often it's the simple reminders of everyday life that are most evocative to us. We see them -- and we see the hopes and troubles of an entire era gone by.
Such an amazing book. I’m now listening to the audiobook version for the first time. Extremely well narrated by William Drufris. And my mind is blown all over again at all the things Stephenson brings together in this book. The characters are great. All the interactions are great. Lots of adventure. Good humor. Lots of learning. Surprises me his stories were never picked up for an HBO TV series. Maybe not enough violence.
China's Summer of Code 2021 Projects
Heh, its funny that you boiled it down as such:

Network, storage, memory and compute (GPU is included in compute). Aside from any other mortar you may need which can be available as a service, that is the premise of all that we do with machines.

Honestly, its a straightforward concept - and products exist in the enterprise for just this: MDM (Mobile Device Management) -- you can deploy and manage (and monitor and spy on) any provisioned device through your ITMS...

There should be a product for homes that provides all that you said - with archive, backup, MDM, blogs, calendar, todo, etc...

I pitched this years ago "Facebook in a box for the home"

I pitched it to YC, to others from Goog and FB...

I was told "nobody will want that"

At the US rental companies I've used, CDWs specifically do cover those things, and in fact cover pretty much everything related to any damage of the vehicle (with caveats, like you were using the vehicle for something illegal).

Good point. I think a decent amount of the U’s student housing was built by the 2002 Olympics. I’m not sure that could be replicated.
In Toronto, the Dollarama until just a few days ago, had many of their shelves blocked off.

You could get food, candy, pet supplies, batteries but you couldn't get books, toys, clothing, headphones...

I thought it was all pretty random and bizarre.
Maybe that's the genius of it all, just trying anything and everything and seeing what eventually works. True fearlessness.
And thats fair, every locale gets a say on how their city functions. For myself, I'd rather not have my town made up primarily of private vehicles clogging up traffic. I'll take a trolley/bus/train/cab any day of the week if I can get to where Im going quickly. I suspect most people who have to commute feel the same way: the shortest, fastest transportation. Few want to spend hours of their day in any vehicle.

That doesn't mean I don't want any roads for private vehicles. Just that need not make up 99% of them. Even if we knocked that down to 75% of roads I think we'd see amazing positive impacts on every metric (except the private roads; those will continue to suffer from congestion until cities offer a better way to get people from A to B).
The thousandth least bad thing is still a bad thing.
