On x64 in Firefox, at least, there are no bounds checks; the index is a uint32; the entire accessible 4GB range is mapped PROT_NONE with only the accessible region mapped PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE; out-of-bounds accesses thus reliably turn into SIGSEGVs which are handled safely after which execution resumes. Thus, bounds checking is effectively performed by the MMU.
In physics, a "model" is the same as "how something works", unless and until you can uncover details (like the precise order of generated numbers) that the old model can't express.
In conversations about suicide the suicidal person can be talked of as "having given up"/"took the easy way out", "been selfish to their loved ones", "gone against god's will".

On the other end of the scale we can talk about "Dying with dignity", "Not being a burden to loved ones", "finally at peace", "being in a better place".

When more people hold the later views then it is more acceptable in society for someone to commit suicide because they don't feel that they are hurting others as much/aren't as evil for doing it (not that I believe they're at all evil I used that wording as those considering suicide may be self loathing).

You could even make arguments on a case by case basis if you wanted from the heroic last stand to a single parent leaving behind their children. It all comes down to what obligations we feel people have to stay alive.
It's interesting how these smart people can organize theft, but not a real business - seems like it would be easier and of course, less risky.

There is a significant proportion of feminists who are against prostitution and pornography because it exploits women's bodies, and your statement can be used as a potential argument to dislodge their beliefs.

On the other hand, it is more unacceptable to suggest at times a person might not be always fully rational, and even more unacceptable to generalize this to a group of people. So your statement has brought up a contradiction in the beliefs of a subset of people, which you're not supposed to do.

The curious case of the fake Steve Ballmer
The answer is really simple: nobody with billions actually thinks Alibaba and YHJ is worth as much as their share price, and not many common people know about Alibaba and YHJ.

It's the same reason you don't see high flying stocks like FB, LNKD, YELP, etc. actually getting buyout or tender offers for their shares.

In the event of having to sell a large block of shares, all of the share prices will crater, Alibaba included. Prices are set at the margins, so until there is a stampede the stock price will go with the flavor of the month.

Stock price != company value. Nobody will enter a position they can't get out of easily unless there is real worth in holding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citigroup_Center

Earlier in May, LeMessurier met for an inquiry on another job where he mentioned the use of welded joints in the Citicorp building, only to find a potentially fatal flaw in the building's construction: the original design's welded joints were changed to bolted joints during construction, which were too weak to withstand 70-mile-per-hour (113 km/h) quartering winds. While LeMessurier's original design and load calculations for the special, uniquely designed "chevron" load braces used to support the building were based on welded joints, a labor- and cost-saving change altered the joints to bolted construction after the building's plans were approved.
Base of the Citigroup Center
View from the street

The engineers did not recalculate what the construction change would do to the wind forces acting on two surfaces of the building's curtain wall at the same time; if hurricane-speed winds hit the building at a 45-degree angle, there was the potential for failure due to the bolts shearing. The wind speeds needed to topple the models of Citigroup Center in a wind-tunnel test were predicted to occur in New York City every 55 years. If the building's tuned mass damper went offline, the necessary wind speeds were predicted to occur every 16 years.

The only thing that matters is separating agree/disagree from constructive/unconstructive. (The latter is used for raising comments to the top of the thread. The former is mostly to force people to make the distinction, and maybe for getting a sense of the crowd's opinion.) None of the other distinctions are really useful for action.

Yeah, it has long been a point among activist investors. With Alibaba IPO the liquidity is there, the question is whether Yahoo! will get the best return now or in the future - they were somewhat criticized for divesting of their Google shares at $82-83 a share http://blogs.wsj.com/overheard/2012/02/28/yahoo-buys-low-sel...

Also, $100 chunk of Alibaba shares is not $100 distributed to you if you're a Yahoo! shareholder - first there's US corporate tax on that income, and then a dividend tax on top of that, which could be qualified or non-qualified depending on your shareholder status.
Well especially in your case, since you grew for personal use and not commercially.

As for commercial use though, I think it's wrong for companies to go after farmers who have had seed unwittingly mixed into their own stock. If no theft can be proven. No law has been broken.
I have no love for Castro (maybe some contempt), but I think Marquez here is approximately as culpable as Shostakovich, which is to say not. He was a writer, not a reporter, and if we try to pull an artist down to the level of politics it's a lose-lose if we're successful.

No, I am saying that coding will always require some kind of formal expression, and that the difficulty of the grammar used is not the major barrier (as these issues can be dealt with by compilers and IDEs).

Attempts to create "natural" language programming haven't worked because actual natural languages are too informal and imprecise for simple algorithmic comprehension.

A system that can comprehend natural language and turn imprecise specifications into a program should be an AI.

You usually enter bankruptcy when you become insolvent, that is to say when you can't pay your bills (it can be the salaries of your employees, a bill from a supplier, debt interests, rent, utility bills, etc.). You can run a profitable business and go bankruptcy because you are out of cash, and nobody agrees to lend you some.

This is not unlikely when you have to pay your suppliers before you collect payments from your customers. And realistically that's the common case, not the exception. This is why cash flow is so important for any business.
You are correct about Boulder, however, Europe gets it right more often.. I can name many more cities in Europe that get it right. Rennes, Paris, Marseilles, Aix-en-Provence, Barcelona, Den Hague, Amsterdam, Prague, Rome, Florence... just off the top of my head.
While I do have a car, I've found that I have to go out of my way to find a reason to need it in SF. I live in the Inner Sunset next a grocery store and Golden Gate Park. The Muni is two blocks away and there's a bus stop outside. The car is reserved for weekend trips North, South or East. SF is also a pretty compact city, so UberX, etc... usually isn't that expensive if you're hanging out in a part of the city that makes public transit a hassle. All this being said, public transit definitely takes you more places in NYC.
This is more of a question than critique:

What network performance issues such as latency and reliability do you anticipate, and how do you plan to mitigate them?
What is your to-go boring stack, if I may ask?

So I presume the bolts and added welded plates were actually stronger than the originally specified welded joins?

In the interview with Bill LeMessurier it seemed the problem existed even with the original joins - the bolted joins just made the issue significantly worse...
It obviously depends on the game or TV show. I suppose if you were "addicted" to news you could watch cable news 12 hours a day ad infinitum.

Again, I can only relate personal experiences, but I've been just as compelled to read "just one more chapter" of certain books or to watch "just one more episode" of a TV series as I have to advance in a game.

I enjoy all three mediums and at different times in my life I've been into one more than the others. They all seem more or less the same to me (in terms of time spent, culture absorbed, entertainment value).

We have a real world network called Hyperboria (http://hyperboria.net) with various services (irc, video, social). Latency depends on the amount of peers you have and how well connected they are.
This is one of those only on HN moments. From grandparent's web page:

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I worked for a company called Sun Microsystems. One of the things I did there was to join a renegade band of engineers who were off in Palo Alto working on a technology that nobody within Sun could see any possible use for. That technology was of course Java."

I once did a non-simultaneous home exchange with an elderly couple from Rome (I live in Vancouver).

When they arrived, they asked where the "Piazzas" are here in Vancouver - to sit and enjoy a communal public space.

I was at a loss - there really aren't any public spaces designed for just watching the world go by here other than the beach, which closes at 10p - cops zoom up and down on 4x4s kicking people off the beach.

The woman said something that stayed with me and, I think, is true: "You know, in Europe homes are small, there are many public spaces, and life is lived in the streets. In North America houses are bigger, people have more land and entertain at home, and life is lived at home."

Might want to correct that to something like "Large-scale agriculture". It sounded a bit off to me when I recalled agriculture has ten thousand years of history, and for most of that time government did not exist beyond the level of family/clan/tribe, and said government is unlikely to have intervened in agriculture with subsidies...

You're making the mistake of confusing totally unknown with very unlikely. We simply do not know enough to prognosticate one way or the other.

Perhaps every habitable planet develops life but only our plant has developed intelligent life. Perhaps only our planet among all the planet in the universe has life. Perhaps every planet develops civilization life and all such civilizations destroy themselves within about 10,000 years, leaving only hunter-killer robots.

In any case, interstellar space is so vast we couldn't practically other civilizations even if they turned out to be quite common in other solar systems.
In addition to what abkco said:

The total latency between two nodes is not much more than the latency between every link along the route added up.

This means for a physical network, latency isn't bad as long as the individual links are good.

For Hyperboria, latency can be high at times because nodes are not always linked to other nodes geographically close to one another, so the packets have to jump around a little.
Ah, my apologies then—tone can be hard to grok here sometimes.

Kepler 186 is an M1V red dwarf [1]. We don't know how old it is, but red dwarves tend to last tens of billions to trillions of years. (No red dwarf is known to have died of natural causes since the beginning of the Universe.) So this star could be much older than our Sun. The low metallicity of the star also supports the hypothesis that it is older than our Sun.

Which means that if there is life on Kepler 186f, it could be billions of years ahead of us. Would that have been a long enough time scale for an intelligent species to emerge, civilize, and develop a way to traverse the 500 light years between us and them? Or did the dim light (less UV ~ less mutation) and lower availability of heavy elements (less iron) in the star system hemper the evolution of life and/or civilization?

Will there ever be an answer to questions like this, perhaps in a thousand years, a million years, or even a billion years?

My understanding of Vagrant is that it is a meta virtualization format, so in theory one could create a Vagrantfile that points at the aforementioned vagrant boxes and it will use VMware to do the local provisioning (the Vagrant boxes even use the VMDK disk format, which should make it even easier). In theory :-)
because in most US cities the sidewalks are too narrow, the streets are too wide, traffic too loud, and service not up to par. but this is a mundane argument; of course it is. that's what we're trying to change; that's the point.

it depends highly on the city (and even neighborhood within city), but we should not fault anyone for trying and we should patronize the establishments that offer sidewalk service as often as we can, even if it's sub-optimal.
Not the GP, but I was able to pick up a new 4gb model from the Acer online store a few weeks ago (the Canadian store - I don't think Acer is selling it new in the US anymore).

i am constantly impressed at the hashicorp guys, who continue to release great tools. they actually released serf on the same day as we released nerve and synapse, which comprise airbnb's service registration and discovery platform, smartstack. see https://github.com/airbnb/nerve and https://github.com/airbnb/synapse

that said, as i wrote my blog post on service discovery ( http://nerds.airbnb.com/smartstack-service-discovery-cloud/ ),
dns does not make for the greatest interface to service discovery because many apps and libraries cache DNS looksups.

an http interface might be safer, but then you have to build a connector for this into every one of your apps.

i still feel that smartstack is a better approach because it is transparent. haproxy also provides us with great introspection for what's happening in the infrastructure -- who is talking to whom. we can analyse this both in our logs via logstash and in real-time using datadog's haproxy monitoring integration, and it's been invaluable.

however, this definitely deserves a look if you're interested in, for instance, load-balancing UDP traffic
Never been to NYC, but I think it's super easy to live and move in San Francisco without a car. Publics (MUNI, BART) are good, Caltrain takes you to south and when in areas inside the city where you can't get bus/bart, Uber and Lyft etc. are easy to use.

Not to mention that this is quite small city so even walking is not too big of a problem.
