> ... "I am being too hard on black people" ...

I'm doing more than that. I'm calling you out. That word `legitimate' is very sneaky. I'd say it's close to racist to assert that black on white crime is a "legitimate problem" rather than just a "social problem" or a plain old "problem". There are _fucking_ well documented systemic _reasons_ for why there may be statistically more (per capita or whatever) black on white crime than white on white crime. So it's _not_ a legitimate problem. It would _only_ be legitimate if all other things being equal black on white crime was higher than other types purely because black people are black. If you can't or don't want to or won't see that you're racist. It _is_ a problem, all crime is a problem, it's _not_ a legitimate problem in that it does not legitimate racist attitudes towards blacks because only wilful ignorance could be blind to the socio-economic conditions that give rise to this crime.

No. It was advice to you to drop the more idiotic claims you are making so that you stop being an idiot. I am not joking.
Is the full-file hash actually faster than re-copying the whole file?

Re-calculating a full-file hash will require reading the whole file anyway. Which will take around the same amount of time as re-copying the whole file, since the sequential write speeds of most HDDs and non-entry-level SSDs are similar to their sequential read speeds. The only benefit would seem to be that your SSD might last a bit longer... but how many consumers use SSDs to store their backups?

Please let me know if I'm missing something.
C++ exceptions exempted (see -Bsymbolic-functions), anything broken with -Bsymbolic is inherently broken and ought to be fixed. The same goes for symbol interposition. There are ways of providing extension points that are saner than allowing any shared library that happens to be loaded into your process the ability to override one of your functions.

One is pretty simple (you just need an Ethernet PHY and a connector with magnetics built in (or connector + separate magnetic transformer).

Two would be harder, because the chip only has one Ethernet MAC built in. You'd need another controller chip and a fair bit of supporting circuitry. But it could be done.
Cool, it builds!

I think it is unfair to assume that he is not "interested in computers" because he has no side project. As I recall, engineering coursework is pretty intensive as it is and some students try to prioritize that infront of anything else.

And secondly, not everyone has a good idea to take initiative for a side project.

Didn't mean too. Its a small springloaded clutch about the circumference of an old American half-dollar coin. Its got a detent in it that allows the motor to "pick up" the bolt wherever it may be in the lock cycle as it goes by but isn't so stiff that it can't be defeated with the key.

If you're into RC is looks a lot like a "servo-saver".

I had an conversation with a just-retired teacher this weekend. In addition to the days (a week?) of testing the students at her school had to endure, they were a site for testing a new test and so were subjected to another week of testing.

It's possible for students to opt-out of standardized testing but of course the school is required to have a very high participation rate (90+%?) or else they'll be penalized. One of the teachers had been informing students of their right to opt-out and making the necessary forms available to them.

As soon as the administration saw a number of students opting out, they brought them in one-by-one and interrogated them as to which of their teachers was doing this. He was admonished (or worse).

The whole system of criteria and incentives are so broken. This is analytics and big-data gone awry. "You can't improve what you don't measure," sure, but the wrong things are being measured and the incentives are wrong and the consequences backwards. Sigh.

The internet does help break down communication barriers, but I'm not sure how much it really helps when it comes to racism.

It's so easy to talk with someone on the internet without knowing anything about their ethnic background. In fact I have no idea whether you're black, white, Jewish, Indian, whatever. So if I were a chauvinistic white supremacist, I could just pretend that everyone who writes thoughtful comments on HN is a white dude. This contrasts sharply with the real world, where you can't help noticing a person's gender and skin color before you ever exchange a word with him or her.

The internet also helps people erect strong barriers that might otherwise have been too weak to sustain. Stormfront.org helps turn potential neo-Nazis into actual neo-Nazis, helps them unite despite their geographical dispersion, empowers them to publicly boast their bigotry, and worst of all, gives them a comfortable environment where they never have to confront any other opinion. The fragmentation of online communities keeps prejudices alive in the gaps.

How to structure your Grunt tasks
Would be nice to have an audio input jack. Pretty low on space as it is though.
I hope the USB ports will now output enough voltage to actually power common peripherals without using a hub.
What you are missing is that you are focusing entirely on edge cases. No sociological category is so airtight that you cannot "deconstruct" it. E.g. it is also true that Jewish Americans have more in common with non-Jewish Americans in terms of language and culture than Jewish Israelis. Does that mean that, like Whiteness, Jewishness is simply a category that has been invented to serve some political purpose?

Assume that all computers that aren't yours are keylogged. When I must enter a password into an untrusted machine, I use the mouse to help me. My passwords are long non-words that I know well so I type part of the password, mouse to a different location, type some more, mouse some more, etc. (1) This should defeat key loggers and screen picture captures (if the password is starred) but still wouldn't defeat an out and out video of my session combined with keylogging. I figure that last scenario is a whole lot more rare.

1) My usual technique is to type the last three chars, mouse to the beginning of the field, type the next to last 3, mouse to the beginning, next 3 repeat till done.
How Good Are You At Programming
Well.... duh.

Any computers that allow access to the public are going to be keylogged, if not with software then with physical keyloggers.

Same as LAN Centers use to be all keylogged as well.
Also beware of hotel wifi's. I have been on some where everyone is on the same subnet and tons of people have file sharing enabled.
Yes. Same as the iPod can have composite video and two audio channels. Three ring / four section plugs.
In my scenario, I'm saying the addition of a diplexor (in this case, a single antenna port to serve both 900 MHz, and 2.5Ghz, so the signal was split to two RF chips - about 3 dB of loss) - the typical distance at 0.1% BER, with the exact same antenna gain, Free Space Loss, LMR400 loss, etc.. dropped from 8 km radius in all directions down to a little over 4 km radius.
Given that it's a USB plug powering the device, I doubt it, although maybe the lower power usage by the Pi might provide some extra overhead.
Much better port layout. Glad to hear audio is improved. Not sure what projects needed more pins but not complaining.

Wish USB/Ethernet didn't share a bus, but I never actually ran into that being an issue yet.
Not sure if this is the case since they announced "reduced power consumption" ?
You can probably do it via a USB dongle with the new ports added.
When you start measuring things in education, what you get collapses onto what you are measuring, like a wave function collapsing in quantum mechanics. Everything else goes out the window.

In the UK, we have a Parliamentary Committee for Education, the leader of which is Graham Stuart, a Conservative MP who has shown on a number of occasions that he is prepared to challenge the education minister, Michael Gove, when the committee sees an issue developing.

One morning on the radio he said something like 'if you set targets for schools, don't be surprised if schools do what they have to do to achieve the targets'. I didn't have time to get the quote down verbatim.

In the UK context this particular incident would be impossible for a variety of reasons, but we do see very heavy resources being concentrated on students expected to get a C (pass) on GCSE exams to the detriment (arguably) of weaker students and students at the top of the ability range. Triage may help manage casualties on a battle field but it is not so good for school children.

Most schools call the students they focus on 'DtoC' students. Gove is trying to hack the measurement system to remove the incentives for schools doing this. Same as OA, it might be better to have a system where percentage pass scores are not mechanistically used in this way.

I don't know what the answer is!
That article is about politics at least as much as it is about business.

I apologize for the unnecessarily confrontational tone of my comment.

(Because of HN's lack of comment notification system, I had no idea it was so controversial until I happened upon it again just now.)

Its significantly positive score does suggest to me, though, that there is a lot of sympathy for my position, and the angry way I stated it. In fact, it's one of my most upvoted comments. (And assuming it's received a significant number of downvotes for being unnecessarily rude, I suspect it's my most-upvoted comment of all time, in gross numbers.)

The claim that I'm complaining about is basically outright fraud, as far as I'm concerned -- they're advertising their startup as being different from other services, on the basis of having a quality they have absolutely no ability to promise (that of being guaranteed not to terminate service out from under the users without warning.) The only mitigating factor is that they are almost certainly misleading themselves as much as their users. Whether this is noble, I leave as an exercise for the reader.

IQ (as one imperfect measure of intelligence) is significantly hereditary.

<quote>
Various studies have found the heritability of IQ to be between 0.7 and 0.8 in adults and 0.45 in childhood in the United States.[4][7][15] It may seem reasonable to expect that genetic influences on traits like IQ should become less important as one gains experiences with age. However, that the opposite occurs is well documented.

Twitter Moods:Argentina feelings when Germany won the worldcup
Is the next one going to be called the Raspberry Pi Master System? Let me know when they introduce the Raspberry Pi Archimedes.
When they say reduced power consumption, they're really talking about overhead. Let's say to supply 5W at 5V, they needed to take in 7W at 120V. This means that voltage step down process results in some power being wasted as heat. By using a switching regulator they waste less power and thus there's less heat output, but the power delivered to the device remains the same. So, in this example, they might only need to take in 6W at 120V to output 5W at 5V. (Note, the numbers are complete BS because I haven't done hardware in a while, but that should give you an idea.)
Prepare for a tidal wave of new Kickstarter cases
Our small town school district has very similar cheating going on with the state tests. The teachers involved are fairly bold about it. The kids would talk about getting advance copies of the final secured tests to bring home and practice with. I made copies of these tests, contacted the state department of education, and tried to report it. That was difficult and there was a lot of runaround regarding who would accept reports. Technically parents and others are not allowed to report cheating, it is to be done only by school staff.

I then contacted several local media reporters. They were surprisingly uninterested, perhaps since nearly everyone around has family members that work for schools in some capacity or another.

After contacting media though the state board must have heard what I was trying to do because the person in charge of testing at the state level personally contacted me, told me that although it might technically be considered cheating it wasn't really cheating, and that there was nothing to report.

Why is all this? Everyone is cheating, everyone knows they're cheating, and they all think they are so clever cheating the system because it results somehow in more federal funding via race to the top grants and the like.

I let my kids finish this school year. But that's the last year in that system, and now we are going back to homeschooling where they can learn something. Despite the advantages of cheating, the school has almost total dedication to test preparation every day of the year and no time for real academics. School is a tedious bore and the students are ignorant.
This is really interesting... I currently use and administer our Intuit Online Payroll account. I'm required to run payroll only 2 full business days before pay day. Does the final credit stage you mention here not introduce any additional delay? (Read: is IOP doing the same thing to their main account?)

Also, are you or IOP able to collect interest on the 3 day float? Or does interest not accrue for not fully guaranteed funds?

Finally, is the clearinghouse account you utilize internally not something of a high-risk target? I understand there are safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized false requests, but the thought of even temporarily acting as a go between with somebody else's funds like that feels an awful lot like being a bank without the rewards.

Question for you for goldenkey below: Do you mean YC or HN?

The YC team, while growing, is still a fairly small collective of amazingly brilliant people. The HN team is, at the end of the day, largely anonymous people on the internet. (Albeit the most amazingly brilliant collective of largely anonymous people on the internet I've ever come across.)

Yeah I agree the tone gets tiresome. Just explain it with a higher signal-to-noise ratio and avoid pausing all the time to whine.

Developing software in a corporate environment under the constraints of capatalism often means average management and average coders both with a tight deadline.

Trying to take shortcuts in such an environment is only human nature, and getting non-optimal designs and implementations then should be no surprise.
As great as Project Euler is for learning programming, it's definitely not a good measure of most aspects of programming. It measures a very small subset of the required skills. This chart gives a more complete and nuanced way of evaluating one's skills.

This works well when it's factory spitting out Chevy sedans. You measure the parts, if they don't fit you fix them or replace them.

But it can't work for people. Human beings are not cogs in a machine. They're not easily measured, and the act of measuring can actually change the values... for the worse.

It's fucking sick.

I love Thoughtworks' Technology Radar. HN is very hype-driven, you see a lot of the hottest stuff, and therefore it's my favourite source of information on technologies.

Thoughtworks, a software agency, is necessarily a little more conservative than the startup crowd. Clients expect them to deliver, and if only one project fails miserably because of a risky technology choice, then that will really hurt their image, and thus their sales pipeline.

As a result, their Technology Radar isn't so much an overview of what is hot or not, but more of which of last year's hot stuff really made it. If it's well positioned on Thoughtworks' Tech Radar, then you can be pretty sure that it's here to stay.

Honestly, I feel like this is one of the "the internet won't be anything worthwhile in 5 years" articles, so I definitely think something like a smartwatch will make it into our lives. That being said, I'm pretty scared of that fact, because in my life I try to win back my focus and try to be more mindful about the things I do, a smartwatch won't help with that. It's just another outlet (or input) that takes away our time from creating and shifts it to consuming.

I don't want one. I'm old enough to remember the trendy digital watches of the 1980s and how quickly the novelty of being able to tell the time in Tokyo and New York, or being able to do calculations, or being able to play a beepy tune wore off. Yes on a modern smart watch the multimedia experience will be much better, but I'm still doubtful about the usefulness and ergonomics. You could maybe do wrist based videoconferencing - as predicted in the 20th century - but just the relative angle of your wrist to your face probably won't make it a very flattering experience.

One possible useful function for a smartwatch would be as a wireless storage device. That would mean that you don't need to upload anything to "the cloud" and can be pretty sure of having your data with you at all times. That's not much better than storing data on a phone though.
