Yes, this.

When I say I regularly accumulate close to 1000 open tabs on Firefox (I use the Tree Style Tab plugin to put them on a column to the left) people think I'm crazy, but I just think it's a better way to recall what I was doing and go back and position myself in time with regards to what I was reading and what I will read next.

In my mind, I should only close tabs I want nothing to do with, and I keep open the stuff I'd like to revisit at some point. The fact that Firefox keeps open pages in memory is incidental and I don't let it affect my flow. Every day I crash my Firefox and reopen it with the 1000 tabs again (that's the only way to make Firefox understand I want the tabs loaded, not the content) to keep on browsing as keeping it open for long stresses the GC (I assume) making it sluggish to use.

So yes, I think you and I see "surfing the web" in a different way. I've tried organizing myself with Bookmarks (but then you get lost in folders and categorizing), Pinboard (but I never go there to search for things), Evernote (I never search there either) and so on. Those solutions are not natural to me. If something is not in front of my face, I'll forget it. That's why I want to have a running collection of all the tabs/pages/notes I care about and it should be there at all times, organizable like the plugin I mentioned, but without taking RAM.

Here's an interesting article by a philosopher I enjoy. He argues you and I are "horizontal organizers": http://www.structuredprocrastination.com/light/organization_...
Either one or both sides of a split can't gain majority. Therefore you won't get a success message until you can be sure that the data won't get overwritten after a split is reconnected.
Agreed. This article does a lot of comparing to 2006, in which a lot of technology has happened — not just on the field but off. From what I've seen, many people "watching" games these days aren't doing just that, they're multitasking with three or four other things: checking feeds, timelines, stats, other game scores, fantasy updates, etc.

To me, in-game changes seem to be only a minor contributor. More so, I'd like to hear more about how people are so easily distracted these days. Notifications for this and that, work emails checked all night, game on in the background while surfing reddit or ESPN or whatever. It's becoming extremely easy to forget you're watching baseball at all.
The site isn't responsive (mobile friendly) on my Blackberry, so I suggest looking into solving that.
You can just follow handbook and get a workable system within a few hours. The real question is: what do you want it for? If it's just for the kicks, you probably want to spend some more time exploring what you can break. You'll probably find out that, other than outright breakage, nothing you do has as much impact as you expected to.

I'd say that there are only two valid non-educational reasons to use Gentoo: getting a stripped down (for security or embedded) system or to alpha-test a lot of the free software ecosystem at the same time (e.g. build all your system out of repositories HEADs, a friend was doing that for a long time).
Ah, Dell monitor stands are height adjustable these days? Good. Looks worth going for, then.

I am aware of it, and it feels so wrong.

Unity started as a Mac engine and only got big when they integrated C# into their tooling. Now that they are everywhere in the indie scene, why bother paying the guys that helped them get famous?

"Thank you Xamarin and bye"

EDIT: Provide some more context.
My Pebble battery life went through the roof a few weeks after I got it, when I stopped loading all new apps several times a day and fiddling with it. Once I found apps I liked and settled into a routine, it went from 1 day to 5 days.
I agree. This site can definitely be expanded towards European and Asian cultures.
Maybe it is not always on after all:

"One of the cool things about Android Wear smartwatches so far has been the always-on dimmed mode, so you can always flip up and see what time it is. The Moto 360, however, doesn't roll that way. When the screen's not on, the screen's not on. The one exception is when it's on the dock, charging." - http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-360-hands-redux
Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Isn't that a function call, rather than a function declaration? If it's a function call, it's passing a bunch of types in, which I thought was not valid C?
It is not a servant mindset when police are also held accountable for patterns in their behavior. They are public servants but at the same time they have authority to arrest you until people try to figure out what happened. This will waste a lot of time out of your day but it's the "security protocol" that society has established. Humans don't have perfect knowledge and the best thing you can do is cooperate without causing extra drama for everybody. You are more likely to avoid arrest and furthermore even if arrested you are more likely to win later.

As a side note: consider that having very little money saved is like operating without a safety net when you get into a car accident or something gets stolen or breaks or whatnot. Similarly when you cannot afford to lose any time, I think you'll react much more badly to being arrested etc. and cops don't care about that.

Not every cop is a lawyer and you stand to gain from asserting your rights while recording yourself on a voice recorder. There are so many different ones you can buy, or use the car's dashcam, or both.

Germany, Sweden etc also have very low rates of gun ownership by civilians. If USA insists on gun ownership, then these are the consequences.

Disclosure: I am a white male living in NYC and I have never been even close to arrested for anything.
Thanks for chiming in. In our footer you'll find this "Famous Outfits is not just another site that finds the latest in celebrity men's fashion. We take it a step further by showing you how to achieve the same look affordably." They key here is the "look." We don't say that we're going to exactly identify every piece of clothing the celebrity is wearing. If you look at Robert Pattinson's outfit on the site, he's actually wearing a $3000 Gucci jacket. We link to a jacket that has a very similar look for $30. The audience and niche we're aiming toward is more in line with the $30 price range.

"spying on families the check whether they live in catchment areas for schools; whether they live in an area where they're claiming parking permits; checking whether people are throwing non-recyclables into recycling bins"

I'm in NYC. Would love to talk it over in person. My email is on my profile page.
You'll want to take care of it quickly. Google turns up numerous cases where sites used images without permission, received a cease-and-desist, took the images down immediately and then still got sued. It's the photographer's livelihood.
I'm not sure how this depends on the language, per se. Basically you want very special behaviour here: Allocate a piece of memory, preferrably so that it doesn't end up accidentally in permanent storage and later clear it and deallocate it again. C gives you no such facilities to do so, but so do very few other languages (if any). The correct course here would rather be to ask the OS to do that for you. You can tell the memory allocator to never page out the block you get. Every OS has a syscall to zero memory that isn't subject to compiler optimisations.

Honestly, in my eyes, this is a place where the language is specified in a way that it cannot ever guarantee what you're trying to achieve and in that case you're best off not relying on the language, but on other things that can make such guarantees.
The Stupidity of Computers (2012)
The embodiment problem is well discussed in AGI literature, despite there being no consensus. This does not raise problems for "Strong AI" (AGI), this raises problems for people who do not understand that there are no scope limitations for AGI.

I do find it frustrating that topics in AGI are discussed as though no one has thought about them. This year for example there were about 90 attendees at the AGI conference in Quebec, however there were numerous AGI topics discussed at both AAAI and the CogSci conference. So not only is the small group growing but more is being discussed in the more mainstream groups.
"The ny police is murdering..." doesn't make much sense in English. And it has happened more than once. The other time I can think of is when they killed the guy in times square.
Their US politics stories are garbage as well, basically partisan nonsense fleshed out by distorted "facts."
It's possible, but it's also difficult. The strike zone is not a static box; it's relative to the batter. Thus, the umpire needs to be able to compare the location of the pitch to the batter himself, and so the zone should be defined relative to points on the batter.

Currently, the points of reference on the batter are the knees for the bottom and the team letters on the jersey for the top (though technically it's the midpoint between belt and shoulders). These are convenient reference points. Shrinking the strikezone a bit would yield something like "two inches above the knees to 1/3rd the distance from the belt to the shoulder", which would require more explicit rather than subconscious analysis from the ump.

How the Next iPhone Could Finally Kill the Credit Card
Many people have the high-frame-rate turned on by default and don't know it. That's not the same as preferring the look.
Smaller means better when the thing is big for no conceivable reason. It's not a universal truth. Smaller was better with phones for a long time because the phone was much larger than a the screen, and it didn't need to be. Now, the phone is the screen. And with screens, bigger has always been better. TVs keep getting larger, as well as desktop monitors.

Whether it's for functionality or for status, bigger is better for a lot of things. Phones were the odd duck because the screens were tiny back then.
30hz is just fine for a lot of big Emacs windows and terminals!

"According to MLB.com, the average time for a nine inning game in the 1970s was around two hours and 30 minutes."

"In 2010, games lasted on average about two hours and 55 minutes, according to Baseball Prospectus. The average game has increased steadily in length every season since, and contests in 2014 have averaged about 3:08."

How do you people manage to have so many interactions with the police? I'm 29, white, living in San Francisco for five years, grew up in London. I have literally never even spoke to a police officer in my entire life.
Thanks for the feedback. Our aim is "affordable." Unfortunately, that's pretty subjective. So, we try to appeal to a broad audience under that umbrella. We could link to a GAP shirt one day and a Hanes the next. With that said, we are definitely going to feature "Get this look for $_____" like you suggested. Great idea.

Ask HN: What Must I Do with My Life?
Hey everyone,

I'm a computer engineer who is going to be unemployed 2 months later. I want to ask you about what to do with my life. I worked here, in my first company for a year. I worked on Linux, bash, web development (mostly PHP, laravel...). Now, since the company I work for is closing, I need a new job.

I don't know what to do. I love C/C++, game development and I know Unity. I made some games for brain damaged patients when I'm at university. I'm looking at job listings and I mostly see ASP jobs which I find boring.

Everything seems to become mobile (or web) oriented nowadays, and I'm not sure which road to take.

What do you guys think I have to do with my life? Do I have to do Java jobs, PHP jobs, or mobile? What are the ins and outs of those topics?

Help me find my path.

Thank you very much.

Even if a JIT compiler can prove that all the code in your app doesn't change that function pointer, because the variable is volatile, the compiler must assume that you intend to read from actual metal every time you refer to it and it can not predict what the value will be. Even a JIT compiler is not allowed to optimize away that read, or else you'd never be able to write a driver.
I think we will see some innovation soon . . . especially after MH370.

They should probably add a few location buoy devices that record the location on impact in water and if the plane lands in water they break free from the plane and start transmitting a ping and the location information to satellites.

I expect they will have a real time location transmitter so they can pull up the plane location in real time, track deviations from flight paths, etc.

A secondary transponder that can't be deactivated from inside the plane would be a plus too.

Also they should setup transponders and new tracking devices where they can not be disabled easily from inside the plane.

Definitely room for innovation.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote Wordpress Developer
andreas@ahennie.no
We are looking for a remote, freelance developer with Wordpress (WP) experience. We're a small digital agency in Oslo with many WP equires from clients. We are 3 guys working together with design, digital marketing and Ruby on Rails project. We each have our own different side projects.
Baseball is one of the few sports you can watch with other people and talk over. The pace of the action can be a draw if you're going to pass time with other people rather than obsess over plays. I guess it's like the difference between a lounge and a dance club.
In football it's fairly simple, the rule used to be "you have scored a goal when you have shot the ball far enough into the net that an old half-blind referee can see that it's in the net". Sure there are mistakes with that rule, but the whole game is about subjective calls from the ref, so saying that a cup would hinge on a few millimeters is just silly. The ref could still have missed six penalties for the other team. GLT removes the obvious mistakes, which is good because they are controversial and it's bad PR for the sport, but football will always be about subjective calls.
Changing baseball rules because there are too many breaks and the viewer is likely to find it boring is an acceptable position to hold when you are in the "business".

But people actually playing the game and enjoying it (those that aren't on a TV screen) don't need this problem to be solved because they simply don't have it. So "their" game rules are being changed for the sake of baseball seen as an entertainment show, not for the sake of people actually playing it because they like playing the game more than watching it.

DigitalOcean starts offering Core OS
We're getting one step further but they're still missing out. Articifial intelligence or consciousness have no reason to be precluded by a lack of embodiment. Computers can have sensors and that's all that's needed. Some life forms have sensors very different from ours and that most probably doesn't prevent them from being intelligent or even maybe conscious.

What a lack of human embodiement prevents in AI is strong communication with humans. Why ? Because as Lakoff hinted on, they'll lack grasp on the linguistic twists and metaphors that make our language relate to our everyday experiences. The problem will be similar to the problem we would have trying to communicate with a bird or an insect. We don't ground our communication in the same things at all.
Thanks! We have a major community piece we are currently working on. We're aiming to have it completed this weekend.
If you enjoyed this article and find the unintended side-effects of new technology fascinating, I would encourage you to read anything by the author Neil Postman -- particularly his works _Amusing Ourselves to Death_ and _Technopoly_.
It would be more interesting if Walter Bright had a similar article. I wonder what would be the the FPC response.
> Since computers don’t have bodies, let alone sensations, what are the implications of these findings for their becoming conscious—that is, achieving strong AI? Lakoff is uncompromising: "It kills it."

This just makes me think he both doesn't understand brains or AI.

I also don't get the insistence on a 'body'. If we weren't planning on having the AI totally isolated, and intended to say, talk to it in order to see if it was an AI, then we were already proposing to give it senses right from the start.

In fact, I don't think I've seen a single proposal for an AI that didn't give it at least one external sense and many internal ones. I don't see why we would think it would have that much trouble building metaphores.

As Lera Boroditsky says:

> If you’re not bound by limitations of memory, if you’re not bound by limitations of physical presence, I think you could build a very different kind of intelligence system

> I don’t know why we have to replicate our physical limitations in other systems.

China is many things, but one of those is practical. They're planning for a future in which they're not just a low-cost manufacuring hub (much of that is indeed already leaving China for places like Vietnam). To that end, they're making a very concerted effort to modernize their legal system, importing many ideas from the U.S. (e.g. they have American legal academics helping reform areas like the law of evidence) and introducing twists of their own (e.g. lightweight arbitration for small civil disputes).
Isn't he the guy from Heello?
The problem is that C doesn't concern itself with security at all. It's a language with its semantics being defined by an abstract machine and observable behaviour on that machine. A compiler is only obliged to emit an executable that has the same behaviour as the original program would have on the abstract machine, again, only regarding observable behaviour.

You can still side-step the problem by calling a function that's not defined in the standard (so it cannot be inlined by the compiler), usually something like SecureZeroMemory on Windows and its equivalent on other OSes.

Yeah, but many people won't want to look like a celeb.. they may just like a shirt (rather than purchase an entire outfit.) Then I'd have cheaper alternatives listed. In fact, there would be many alternatives to many of those products, but let's start with the real one (ideally). There could even be a cost-calculator to work out some combination of items for some overall price-range.. some legitimate, some alternative. Users could post alternatives and they could be ranked - the highest ranked one is listed on the page with the image (ideally it'd be the legitimate brand.)
Is this excerpt from one of Peter Thiel's lectures a cheap shot at his buddy Elon and Tesla?

"Consider the automotive industry. Trying to build a car company in the 19th century was a bad idea. It was too early. But it’s far too late to build a traditional car company today. Car companies—some 300 of them, a few of which are still around—were built in 20th century. The time to build a car company was the time when car technology was being created—not before, and not after."
