I'm aware that there are unmanned stations -- not only oil platforms but regular leases. I live in oil & natural gas country (Northern Alberta). What you don't see are the thousands and thousands of guys running around keeping it all ticking.

There are some things that you can automate -- but a lot of things in the oil & gas industry cannot be automated. Specifically, the leg work required to get things started & keep them maintained. Automating those sorts of things requires a pretty advanced AI and I don't see that coming around the corner anytime soon.

White House Unveils Plan To Protect Online Privacy
I'm saying someone can write the decode and share it on their blog post or Github and your admin can start using it without having to recompile Wireshark. (I think, haven't actually tried it myself).

But even still, this only matters if:

A. The protocol is so new that Wireshark isn't shipping a parser,

B. the admin's stuff isn't working,

C. the admin can't get his stuff working by normal troubleshooting and must resort to observing the protocol,

D. the admin can't get his stuff working by observing the binary representation of the protocol, and

E. the admin actually can get his stuff working with a transliterated ASCII representation of the protocol.

Certainly I would probably find it easier to troubleshoot a text-based protocol too. I just think it's a relatively minor case in the grand scheme of things.

Might I note that spreadsheets have immediate feedback. They also enforce a pure functional style (which you can break out of by bolting on a script written in a completely different language. Makes it possible to mutate state, but you have to do it consciously, and it requires a context switch).

Both of these are great features for programming. I sometimes use a spreadsheet to "mock up" a function, if I think the function is amenable to such a thing.

Unfortunately, spreadsheets have pretty severe limitations as general computing environments.
Is the fact that Heroku was acquired the rationale for calling it the 'product' purchased by 'traditional corporations'? If so, what threshold would you apply for when a company can be considered successful before it gets acquired? As companies of all sizes get acquired, aren't they all then 'product' that wasn't successful until a real company bought them?

What's wrong with this? Handwriting looks way better on notebook paper than on a tablet or on an actual whiteboard.

Faster-than-light neutrino result reportedly a mistake
"Normal users" certainly used email clients, installed web browsers, and used local page-creation tools. That certain technologies have made these tasks easier does not mean that those specific technologies were the only way forward, or that those technologies are without drawbacks. Publishing Turing-complete blobs clearly gives the creator the most freedom and power, but at the expense of limiting the consumers' options to "experience content as intended" or "don't".

My whole point is that this philosophy of server-knows-best is causing the 'web' to revert to the standard creator -> middleman -> passive consumer chain. Of course many different "ways" of publishing are flourishing - those are the middlemen!

Yes, the most pythonic is:

mock(obj, x=1, y=2)

Which you get by:

def __init__(self, obj, **mocks):
self.obj = obj
self.mocks = mocks

This can then also be called (using the built-in double-star-unpacking feature) as:

mock(obj, **{'x': 1, 'y': 2})

or even

mock(obj, **dict([('x', 1), ('y', 2)]))

Then there’s no explicit need to support multiple alternative function signatures, and in particular you don’t get people using the (quite atypical and therefore semantically ambiguous):

mock(obj, 'x', 1, 'y', 2).

> and universally accepted

I didn't mean among practitioners, I meant among research, i.e. that there isn't significant criticism, which to me makes it accepted. It's normal for there to be huge lag between research and practice, especially since research is frequently wrong.

I remember reading about this many many years ago, and it was written as if it had been known for even longer before that. But I guess the recent references seem to start with 1993 which is long, but not as long as I thought it was.

I have a suggestion for a hack that would make life a little more pleasant for those who do not mind running Javascript while not affecting those who want to use the site as is. The script can be implemented by the community and hosted on Git. PG can just include the script in the arc code with just a "one line change".

The JS will just fetch the initial n pages and allow easy navigation using the more button. It will be visually very similar to what we have now. If the community cares it can become much more richer in functionality.
If PG refuses, at least there r enough HN users who are annoyed by this bug that we can create a Chrome plugin for HN that fixes this. I can probably write something like this myself. But probably the community can first formulate excatly what the plugin should/should not do. Does such a plugin already exist? Is it a bad idea to solve it this way? Would the additional burden on the servers be too high to be worth it?

Rovio's ownership structure revealed
If I understand you correctly, going from 44.1kHz to 48kHz would be worth it on the playback side of things?

That wouldn’t seem like it would be all that hard to do. CDs are a legacy format now and AAC files don’t care about the sampling rate (if you don’t want to go beyond 96kHz).

What’s stopping that? Have all the audio engineers pipelines that are only capably of outputting 44.1kHz? (I imagine someone at Sony Music sitting in a dark room and ripping CDs all day – probably not true but a funny enough picture.)

Then again, after doing a blind test (256kbps AAC, CD) and being unable to tell the difference (yeah, I know, that’s not the same as a difference in sampling rate) I’m skeptical of all supposed small improvements in audio quality on the playback side.

Same here, but I'm stuck on level 3 though...maybe my strategy is wrong. I am able to execute the function run from /levels/level03 with the following command:

But I'm still getting access denied. I thought that would have done it for sure. The program runs under the following credentials:

uid=1003(level03) gid=1004(level03) groups=1001(chroot),1004(level03)

Which is kind of weird since /levels/level03 has a setuid of level04. It could be gdb...

That's too bad. I mean, yes, MSR is notorious for being a black hole for great talent. But look at PARC. They innovated the next 40 years yet didn't really ship any of it. Personally, I spent 15 years on my own research without knowing how to productize it until the end, and it needed all of that time.

You, personally, were able to innovate and productize immediately, but that's not the norm. For most people the choice comes down to: Do you want a nice car or you want to change the world?
Tell me more about the bush war, sounds interesting.
I'll save you the book. The theory basically is that there is a tension between internal corporate stupidity, and transaction costs between different companies. The boundary between "one big company" and "a bunch of interacting small companies" is drawn by which is economically more efficient.

Note that for any particular technology area, at first it makes sense to have a single integrated company which can redesign everything. But once the market knows roughly how to achieve the result and has standardized pieces, cooperation is much easier to achieve, and you naturally get a fragmentation into smaller, specialized, companies.

I've seen nice illustrations of the exact mechanics using examples from the computer industry. I think it was in Clayton Christensen's The Innovator's Solution, but I can't swear to that. (However that's a good book regardless.)

Interesting article. I usually sleep from 7pm - 10pm, wake up and do stuff (like read HN), then sleep again from 3am - 8am, with just enough time to get ready for work in the morning.

Not too long ago I suffered from minor insomnia and lucid dreaming. It was awful, to the point where I started to dread bedtime. For me, my diet at the time (fatty foods + sugar + caffeine + alcohol) had a lot to do with it, so once I committed to a healthy diet, my body settled back into a consistent sleep cycle. I guess it's really what works for you.

This happens to me, too, but I'd gladly trade all the good ideas in the world for a decent amount of sleep!

Starting from about age 12, but definitely getting worse as I get older, sleep is something I just can't seem to get right, no matter how I approach it.

I've tried getting eight hours of sleep, and it doesn't work. I do pretty good on six hours, but only for a while. Over the course of a few weeks, six becomes four, which becomes three, which is then two, and suddenly it's 3 days later and I'm still awake.

When it gets to the point that I find myself getting less than four hours of sleep a night, the only way I can force my body to sleep more, despite being very physically tired, is with medication. Of course, most sleep aids can't be taken for long periods of time, so that only helps for a short while.

Sometimes I don't get tired until 4am, and other times it's all I can do to stay awake at 6pm, regardless of whether I got up at 6:30 in the morning, or noon.

I've tried enforcing a rigid schedule, meditation, exercise, various sleep aids, antidepressants (Pazil, Zoloft), just "going with it", and as of late, melatonin supplements at the recommendation of my doctor. They helped for a few weeks, but then that, too, stopped being effective.

The closest I get to a normal sleep schedule is that about half the time, I can go to sleep around 4am and get up at 10am - but that's not really a very practical solution and there are 3-4 days a week where it's just not at all possible from a logistics standpoint.
As I understand it, pagination is there for performance reasons: the server does not compute the rest of the page until needed. Adding a script that pre-fetches all pages would defeat this.
Instead of checking out the course and then commenting on your impressions you troll the thread so others can spend their time rebating your unsubstantiated, entitled whining. "Unmitigated disaster" is not belittling; it's plain badmouthing. Your messages reveal your attitude more than any qualities of the course, and thus are wasting everybody else's time.

Maybe so, but in this case it looks like Dodo was the one that hosed them.

Since the internet is designed to be as decentralised as possible, it relies on a certain level of trust when it comes to BGP advertisements. In this case Dodo advertised an incorrect routing table upstream to Telstra which then propagated it out as per the protocol.

Take advantage of what you've paid for, but be aware that what you have paid for is far more than just access to educators and educational resources.

Make connections with as many people as you can: fellow students, grad students, professors, everyone. That guy who sits next to you in class might turn out to be in a position to help you out in 5 years (and you might be in a position to help him).

Take advantage of extra curricula activities, clubs, interest groups, etc. Is there something you're kind of maybe interested in? It's going to be much easier to find a group of like minded people at college than it is in the "real world".

Super simple. Just the tools you need and nothing more.
Some sports you can actually still improve with age. For example with fencing, I've been whipped by more 90 year olds in wheel chairs than you would believe. They're past the age where they'll make the olympics, but they can still hope to best 95% of semi-competitive fencers.

Of course, these tend to be the nerdy sports like fencing that involve a lot of mental coordination.
But we're not talking register caches. 800 megs stashed in a giant Java hash are not going to be in L1 or L2 cache.
The big difference between coursework code and production code is the size and scope of it. When you finish a course after 4 months you never have to look at that code again. And it's only going to be so big because, over the entire course, you spend at most a few intense weeks on it.

I just got a call tonight about some code I wrote that has a sorted history that is well over 10 years old. I work on a code base every day that contains over 6 years of code I've personally written. In education, you rarely experience that sheer amount of code.
