Since you're a researcher I must be missing something. But since regexps are closed under union, what is the problem with taking the union of all of them? I'm imagining that it would be conceptually simple to hook up all of the non deterministic state machines such that you get a non deterministic state machine which is the union of all of them. Then convert it to a deterministic state machine. You might get state explosion, but at least you would have found some machine to recognize the language. Is state minimization simple (complexity wise)? Is it even possible to find a decently small DSM in the general case (not necessarily the most minimal machine)?

Aside from this announcement, Chinese have also (apparently) seen more stuff from planes and satellites than anyone else, despite -- for example -- lacking the P3 Orion and the P8 Poseidon, and not having much blue water navy experience, and it not being just off their coast.

We had big fanfare over the number of P3s the US and Australia were committing to the search, and the addition of the P8, and the deployment of a special US Naval vessel with dedicated sensor array. Since then the only nation to report positive sightings (more than once) has been China. Interesting no?

> no effective "canonical" one without running into the "title changed" problem

As pointed out below one could make the newest title the canonical one and redirect everything else to it, or am I missing something?

> YouTube has done very well for itself without succumbing to the "embed the title"

I think it is a problem with YouTube too. It happened to me a couple of times that a video was removed, I only had a dead video ID in my watch-later playlist and there was no way to find out which video it was. By the way, even YouTube has an URL shortener called "youtu.be".

> where you can reasonably expect the user to type the URL in

I think in most browsers this is by now a combined URL and search field and, quite frankly, I don’t know anyone who accesses long URLs without auto-complete or Google anymore.
Hmm. Seems like a technique with a very low success rate: out of 1,000 applicants they hired 2? So what's that, a .2% success rate?

Seems like there has to be techniques with better success rate than that...
So you want a distributed order book with global time priority and atomic execution semantics? Can you explain the mechanics of how this would work? This sounds like a locking nightmare. I think some FX market works this way with matching engines in NY, Tokyo and London, but FX markets can also reverse trades and many markets aren't really continuous (min quote life and books that update on a delay) so locking may not be as big of an issue.

Anyway most HFTs are not keeping prices the same between exchanges. There simply aren't enough times during the day when quotes are crossed to make this viable. Most are market makers or are doing arbitrage/psuedo-arbitrage trades like ETF vs. basket, futures vs. cash, etc. that move liquidity from product to product.

He shouldn't call his game "2048" if it has that bug. It's a much easier game than the original one, as you are never forced to move a big number out of a corner and you never fear the dreaded position where you have exactly one open row and you are forced to move all your big numbers away from the edge.
"Believing a certain group of people don't deserve to live their lives like other simply because of who they love is not a political view. It reads as extremely hateful and that makes people uncomfortable."

Sin is not "love." And lust does not create a Constitutional right.

Refusing to legitimize an unnatural and perverse act by calling it "marriage" is not bigotry; refusing to redefine one of society's fundamental institutions is not "hateful" (but demonizing those who defend it is).

No one I know wants to deny anyone their license to play house with the consenting adult(s) of their choosing.

Not all adults have the right to marry. Would you abolish all barriers to it? Would you redefine the word into absurdity?

What about sodomy makes it sacrosanct to you? It's a behavior; as such, it is subject to moral judgment. Where do you draw the line? Incest? Polygyny? Zoophilia? Pedophilia? A young adult male and his browser? Why can't they all get married? What gives you the right to deny them their equality? Who are you to forbid their happiness? Why are you such a hater?

You don't have any problem making moral judgments against those whose morality you despise. That makes you "extremely hateful," doesn't it?

This isn't about equal rights. (How absurd.) This isn't about "letting people live like others."

This is about using the force of government -- and now, the marketplace -- to coerce the endorsement of that which is immoral and unnatural. This is about demonizing those whose positions you dislike.

And that doesn't even depend on religious doctrine -- though Christ's endorsement of one man, one woman, for life with the glorious possibility of children should be enough.

Nowhere in Nature does any species engage in exclusively-homosexual relationships. Even the Darwinist knows that exclusively-homosexual relationships mean the end of the species. And it's a violation of design; even a simple man knows that the relevant organs are made for ... other purposes.

And you won't let Eich "live his life like others."

Fascist. Hypocrite.

Focus on whatever is missing for you to achieve your visions. If you know what you want to build, but are lacking some skills to execute on it, thats what you need to focus on.

Also, try to actively "lean in" to discomfort. Discomfort (or light fear) is usually related to the unknown. The unknown is where you will find your greatest amount of personal growth. Every time you lean into discomfort, you will find that your personal sphere of possibilities will grow. More possibilities allows you to accomplish more through more avenues.

Good luck!

To answer this, the nice thing with Roslyn that is not explain in this blog is that it's also an API that you can extend with plugins. You project can contains them and they will have access to the AST at compile time, altering the compiled logic.

So in your example you could create one to detect your attribute and inject custom logic instead. You can unleash the full power of AOP at the compilation level.
Future imports are not imports at all (the fact that they use the same syntax as imports is misleading IMO). They are tags that instruct the interpreter to turn on certain features only when interpreting the given file. They must appear before any statements in the file, and they take effect before interpretation of the file starts. You could argue that this constitutes an import side effect, but that's neither here nor there, and not helpful.
Super interesting. There was this hack from a few months ago that involved messing with items on the CAN bus. I think they get into more of the details;

> Tesla... of their cars

This is the key point. If I've bought it, the car does not belong to Tesla anymore and they have no valid reason to be policing what the owner of the car is doing with it. If there should be rules against modification, then that should be the purview of vehicle licensing, not Tesla (and while you're at it, you should probably outlaw people maintaining their own cars or building them from scratch too.) The most that is reasonable is for them to refuse to honor the warranty if I've damaged it while modifying.
So what does this sentence mean then?

Being in opposition to same-sex marriage does not make one a homophobe (even some gays are against it).

What's does the "even some gays are against it" mean?
Accidents per mile != fatalities per mile. I'm guessing fatalities per accident on freeways/motorways are much higher than in residential districts.

Yes. "The only moral judgments that are acceptable are the ones we agree with."

So much for "tolerance."

Instead of attempting to demonize into silence those whose opinions they dislike, homosexual fascists ought to argue the merits of their position.

They can't, so they don't.

Cycling on shared roads is far too dangerous for ordinary people. I bike to work each day. I have been fortunate enough over the years to not be hit by a car.

Almost every serious cyclist that I know has been hit by a car to varying degrees of lethality. I have been riding on shared roads (as has my father) for most of my life, and have been fortunate to not be hit. It takes a while to get a good sense of when it is safe to cross a road, and how to anticipate the behavior of drivers (many of whom are distracted and not expecting a cyclist).

Bike lanes do not protect cyclists from being struck at an intersection.

It is very easy for 'thought leaders' to bleat about how wonderful it would be if everyone were to ride a bicycle to work. It would cut down on road maintenance costs while raising health costs due to injury. Our dippy 'thought leaders' abstract out that the suburban lifestyle makes people obese, and prescribe a ridiculous solution that requires no special thought or changing the urban planning regime fixed in place by Eisenhower through the highway system.

It is easier for medical professionals to keep cashing insurance checks and floating impractical health advice without wondering as to why a system that incentivizes reactive care over preventative care seems to produce so many grotesquely unhealthy citizens.

Fat people should not be cycling to lose weight or to commute -- if they are physically disabled, they will not be fast enough to react when drivers act unpredictably. Even fit cyclists who participate in races are not always fast enough to react to drivers.

Further, cycling at safe commuting speeds is not a good workout. It is a bad workout. It is pleasurable in some cases, and in some states that make room on the shoulder for cyclists, but if you commute at an aerobically active pace, you will be killed at an intersection.

That's what killed the former CFO of Amazon, Joy Covey -- certainly an intelligent, accomplished, and fit woman.

It is not compassionate to our piggy brothers and sisters to tell them to partake in an activity that will get them killed.

This hits all the SWPL high status points:

* Biking is high status; low-status fatties should be more like us and bike more.
* Liking European things is high status. I can ape other high status people by suggesting copying a European policy without going into the details of why it works.
* Academic studies are high status. I will name drop a study without going into detail about what it was about to an audience unqualified to interpret it.

Has anyone noticed that 'thought leaders' lead no one but themselves and people who look like them?

Perhaps it is time to personally set a better example for the lower class, rather than proposing multi-billion dollar bureaucratic solutions that permit the upper class to hand off their responsibilities to a bureaucracy while they wall themselves off in their Elysian neighborhoods from the lumpenfolk who disgust them.

When I said "duplicate", I meant that both the number and the title are in themselves sufficient to locate the article.

I get the renaming scenario, but I think it is an edge case.

Most duplication can be avoided by appending date or user name to the title if there is already a similar title in the database.

At least this way unique URLs will be short(er) and more memorable.

Overall, though, I think you overestimate the usefulness of named URLs, because you concentrate on specific cases like people linking to something bad on YouTube (that still has an appropriate title) without giving coherent description. There are other cases too. A lot of them. They just aren't as annoying/memorable.

I read a small magazine about PC games, and I recall using ID jumping for navigation a lot. When the numbers are below 1000, it is easier to remember and type "article=234" than "/article/Does+Assassin's+creed+break+new+ground?".

Also, I sincerely think that the trend for named URLs has more to do with Google that what users want or like. If Google liked super-long URLs with lots of punctuation, most websites would do just that and people would find ways to rationalize the trend. This doesn't automaticall mean title URLs are wrong, but it's somewhat different from "everyone like them".

I agree. I should probably have put quotation marks around "effective".
Asking "Should I drop out?" is a dangerous question in this field. You're going to get both answers, the college grads will tell you that you absolutely should stay in school, and the non-grads will tell you that they never went to college and they turned out just fine.

Coming from the former camp I'll tell you what I personally thought was most important based my very very limited few months in industry. In addition to teaching you how to learn, college, especially a CS degree, teaches you how to think. I'm not using the things that I learned in college at my job. We use different languages and different technologies. I'm not writing up search algorithms and I'm not doing math problems to figure out if my code is fast enough. But all the learning that I did in college prepared me to learn all the things on the job that I needed to learn.

Your friend is saying that he can learn 10 times on his(her) own. Great. They should do that. And so should you. Teach yourself as much as you can. You're going to learn older, more stable things in college, because those languages/technologies make it easier to get the underlying concepts across. But if you have the drive to teach yourself things on your own, then you'll be better off when you graduate. It shows initiative to future employers and you'll develop great skills while you're at it.
It works for me, just go here:

>On another note, London… has had many fatalities…, so this risk for fatality is a very real problem.

It's a very visible problem, but it caused only 14 deaths in 2013.

In that same year I estimate 32 Londoners were scalded to death by their hot water (126 death/year in England, and London has 26% of the population).
For the general population, cycling is a reasonable option only for trips of 5 km and under. Mind you that is a good proportion of trips.
From what I understand, insects aren't complex enough to feel or understand what an animal like a mammal or reptile sees as "pain"
Because many languages were designed with only the compiler in mind, but IDEs have requirements regarding language design, too…

Example 1: text-based preprocessors such as the ones you find in C or C++ are a nightmare for IDE developers. They turn static analysis into a game of guessing because your source code can manifest itself into too many variations.

Example 2: SQL: If a user wants to write "SELECT mycolumn FROM mytable;" but he/she has only written "SELECT " and now trigger auto-completion… it can not work, because the IDE has no idea from which table it can list the columns. If the language would have the syntax the other way around "FROM mytable SELECT mycolumn" auto-complete could easily propose the tables first and all the columns from a specific table later.
Yes.

There are people who are just learning to code, who got the advice, find a simple open source project and help.

There are people who have only done early stage classes for CS degrees that want to practice in real coding but haven't been exposed to real world development.

There are people who have been coding forever but never paid attention to that stuff because they were always part of a team and didn't worry about it.

One extreme example: we had a person wander into the local hacker space on python user's group night. She had an English degree and had never done anything nearly as technical as coding. She knew that her library science degree would entail some coding and database knowledge and wanted to get up to speed prior to needing it for coursework. She understood the concept of community work and abstract stuff about open source, but not really anything on a practical level. Within the day she was helping one of the member's pet project by copy editing the readme and some of the tech docs. I'm certain she had no idea what a readme was when she got up that morning. (not exactly a code contribution, but definitely a project contribution). Within a couple of months she was able to get her first code submission to a project.

Ignorance and ability are not as correlated as people like to think they are.

The hashtag #ReplaceBikeWithCar is currently trending on Twitter. It is statements bicyclists often hear, turned around for cars. I find them funny.

My favorites so far:
"Absolutely no more car infrastructure should be built anywhere until every single car driver follows all traffic laws. #ReplaceBikeWithCar"

"Cars who aren't covered in high viz deserve to be crashed into."

"Why don't you lot stick to driving round and round a race track!"

they do. they bones control the cage mesh. before to maintain volume of your character mesh, you would bind latices to the bones to control your character mesh. but that wasn't a very elegant solution as latices are box shaped and your mesh is arbitrarily shaped. also latices have a bunch of interior points that need to be dealt with. so people used multiple latices, one for each limb, one for head, etc. then you had to make sure the latices overlapped nicely and played nice with each other. this new method uses an over sized low res version of your mesh. much simpler. it also accounts for things that are a pain when binding your mesh like finger joints. where your middle finger bone might affect some of your pointer finger mesh.

It's interesting how so many Americans are against basic income, when there's a form of basic income already: receiving food stamps while working in a full-time job. I don't see any problem with receiving benefits / basic income when working for a smaller wage, if the amount of basic income is large enough. Therefore I wouldn't try to "force" Walmart to increase wages, rather I'd vote for politicians who support basic income.
I rode in New York. Many streets didn't have bike lanes. I'd often be right in traffic. I was hit once (although the car was only going about 10 mph.) And there were a lot of rude assholes, sure.

Did the risk deter me? Not really. 5.8 micromorts for 100km of biking, according to the article. Inactivity or a long commute (stress, disinclination to exercise) are more dangerous. There's always a lot of press when someone dies after a marathon (the risk exists, but it's comparable to skydiving-- very small) but marathons actually reduce total deaths due to fewer traffic accidents (road closings).

Especially when the costs/risks of inactivity are included, roadside running and biking are a no-brainer winner, even in the US. Obviously, it'd be better if streets were laid out to be safer and urban speed limits were lower (in NYC, it's 30 mph, which is too high) but even as things are, it's still worth going out there.
It's very nice. You can use your fav editor and update pages, then push the changes back up and they appear in the wiki.

With a few plugins and some hacking, you can get vim to just browse the wiki too. (I'm currently working on getting my scripts for this into a state that is useful).

Unrelated - there are some plugins to use the github api to browse tickets in vim too.

(note not all of these workflows make sense as a primary way of using them, but they are still useful at times).
That’s one way I thought it could be beneficial.

I had two more scenarios in mind: (1) When handling multiple links at once I had the problem at least twice that I confused them. (2) Working offline made it difficult for me a couple of times to sort my tabs and bookmarks when the browser messed up the page titles or when I managed URLs in text files.

Oh well, maybe it’s just the unusual way how I manage things I read and watch online. It’s just that I realized that it was much easier to sort a couple of reddit and StackOverflow links that were lying about. On the other hand, I don’t think that the HN crowd is exactly the kind of audience one needs to hesitate to present more information to. Quite the contrary HN people can probably benefit a lot more from more information than most other groups.
I do get tired of terms like "living wage". Clearly the workers are not "dead" or "unliving". It is like the "pro-life" or "pro-choice" terms, deliberately politicizing.
