That's often the case, but far from a steadfast rule. Consider:

1. Sally bought Anne a heifer, but she didn't buy her a dog.

2. Sally bought Anne a heifer, but she hadn't asked for one.

3. Sally bought Anne a heifer, but she didn't produce any milk.

4. Because she bought Anne a heifer, Sally went home happy.

In 1, 2, and 3, she = Sally, Anne, and the heifer, respectively. In 4, she = Sally, which is to the right.

Depends upon your priorities. You don't explain why you need to max out short-term cash. Generally doing anything just because it makes more money is a Faustian deal of the first order. Of course, there are some people who are in banking because they truly believe in some aspect of it. Then there are others who get trapped by the lavish lifestyle and find it increasingly hard to leave.

Have you considered taking a careful look around you and find a hair on fire problem that you could solve and enjoy doing so? Taking a longer term view, where you balance all aspects of your life tends to be a more satisfying approach.

> covers the science as it develops, if a little too briefly.

Most biographies of scientists focus on their character and personal life rather their work.

There are very few technical biographies, even of highly technical people. Readers won't understand the work of the scientist any better after reading through one of them.

Quantum Man[0] by Lawrence Krauss specifically aims to be a solution to this regarding Richard Feynman. And even in this case the exposition needs to be so terse that only the highly technical reader will fully understand most aspects of Feynman's work in the correct context.

Do you know of any biography of Dirac that edges on "if a little too technical"? I would love to read that.

I've worked in banking and finance since college (three years now) and my advice: avoid banking/finance like the plague. Sure there's potentially more money to be made in banking/finance, but it comes at a cost. There's "no free lunch" as they say. I'm desperately looking to do the opposite: move from finance/banking into software development (specifically mobile and web). And in doing so I want to avoid working for any bank/finance company ever again. Just my two cents.
I suppose on reflection this could be a journalistic convention rather than a grammatical rule -- while each of those is seemingly a correct sentence they certainly don't match the conventions I'm used to.

are you arguing that given a study that turned out to be false, a layman should be able to spot the error in methodology?

I don't think that's the case at all. It isn't a black and white issue, and I certainly don't feel it has been conclusively shown that if I start drinking drinks that are BOTH fizzy and sugary tomorrow, it will result in my telomeres shortening at an unusually high rate as the article claims. Is that really anti science? I don't think so.
I don't really buy the crux of the argument much, which basically boils down to the idea that the car will have trouble with unmapped objects. I would be pretty surprised if all these cars didn't come equipped with an ability to phone home and update the central repository of maps with newfound objects. Thus, when encountering a new object the car could slow down, devote some processing power to mapping it, and then cars traveling through the area in the future should get the latest update downloaded and can handle the previously unmapped object automatically.

If you think about it, it's a really fun problem to get to solve, wish I was working on it.
Cost+ accounting for a contract means that the contract is awarded at face value, and the contractor is allowed to bill more than face value for a variety of reasons, mostly based on if the government changes/adds requirements (blows projection estimates up), moves locations (employee compensation changes), increases delivery needs, things like that. It also often ends up getting abused by the contractor who will claim "market forces" or something forced production costs to increase, or "unforeseeable complexities" lengthened production time (such as with all of the set backs in the joint strike fighter programs).

What will be a real blow for Boeing is if they actually have to execute options on the "+" side of that -- if SpaceX hits their cost target and Boeing costs not only double, but triple, good luck wining the next contract as a prime.

Yes, I had the same experience with "remote" teaching. Seen from both sides it's very taxing for everybody involved. It's extremely hard for the teacher because they have no interaction with their students, and the students have an experience which can best be described as yelling into cotton wool. If there's an option for some interaction between parties it's often very difficult to get a technical question across a lossy and high latency feed.

In one case it turned out the "remote" teacher was in the next room across from where the class was sitting, which made the experience all the more insulting.

The book called "The Healthy Programmer" talks a bit about Hemingway and his standing desk. The book also cites research showing that standing for extended periods has different (and arguably worse) health risks than sitting for long periods. People who stand too long often use poor posture, may favor one side over another, not to mention other potentially severe complications. The book's solution is simple: move often! Change position about every 20 minutes. For example, sit in a chair, then stand, then sit on an exercise ball, and so on.

I 100% agree with you (and I have such contacts to help me out), but I lament the fact that many founders will lack such contacts to give them a sanity check. Perhaps one can reach out to people about it, but without a preexisting network to tap, I am afraid that many will simply accept the bogus terms rather than deal with the discomfort of reaching out for help.

My experience in Sweden was that first they with big fanfare changed Coke Light (what they call Diet coke outside of English-speaking countries) to Sucralose, then introduced Coke Zero, which used Sucralose and silently changed Coke Light back to Aspartame, and then at some point silently also changed Coke Zero to Aspartame.
I just happened to buy this book the other day after having my first child two weeks ago. What a coincidence to come across this comment.

I have to say I'm really enjoying reading through it! I've only tried the triangular-face-image test so far, with mixed results (the baby pooped which derailed the experiment a bit). But I'm looking forward to doing more as he grows up.

I appreciate that it's actually full of real science about child development, and written with some rigor. Amazon seems to group it together with novelty joke books like "Quantum mechanics for babies" or whatever, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I ordered it. I have been pleasantly surprised. So thank you for producing an enjoyable book!

Oh dear! He does not even discuss the HUGE errors that may appear when taking logarithms... If you have points near 0 and away from 0 the former get an artificial enormous weight and bias the "interpolation" too much towards them.

As Rayiner says the same systems have digital equivalents now. I'm not a lawyer nor a law student any more (I quit during the 1l year for personal reasons) but I'm still very much into it intellectually. When I'm not in a hurry or just trying to get a grasp of some issue, I much prefer doing it with the books or specialist journals, plus I take a lot of handwritten notes. Walking the stacks and the time/volume limitations of handwriting make for a more enjoyable learning experience. I'm not sure it's necessarily more effective, but I really enjoy the peace and quiet of a library. The less popular the paper books become the more I like it.

The downside though is that many law firms just don't have a good reason to keep up their (expensive) paper-based collections any more, to the point that some actually give the whole lot away to anyone who's willing to box them up an take them. In a decade you'll have a hard time finding a paper library if you don't live near a university, as they're expensive to maintain and fewer towns/counties are bothering to keep them. I've thought about taking up one of these offers before but I don't want to end up on a TV show about hoarders :-/

This information is outdated. I quote here from the Using TLS in Applications Working Group @ IETF, and their current draft <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-uta-tls-attacks-04>:

2.2. STARTTLS Command Injection Attack (CVE-2011-0411)

Similarly, there are attacks on the transition between unprotected
and TLS-protected traffic. A number of IETF application protocols
have used an application-level command, usually STARTTLS, to upgrade
a clear-text connection to use TLS. Multiple implementations of
STARTTLS had a flaw where an application-layer input buffer retained
commands that were pipelined with the STARTTLS command, such that
commands received prior to TLS negotiation are executed after TLS
negotiation. This problem is resolved by requiring the application-
level command input buffer to be empty before negotiating TLS. Note
that this flaw lives in the application layer code and does not
impact the TLS protocol directly.

SMTP and IMAP clients are affected by this, so best practice is to use their encrypted ports. The use of STARTTLS-type techniques in future protocols is deprecated due to the downgrade risk.

This of course has a bit of a problem as 465 was a private assignment, later unfortunately reassigned to a Cisco protocol ("URD, a transitional technology for IGMPv2/IGMPv3 & SSM"), and some routers could mess it up: "routers running URD intercept all packets using port 465, regardless of destination". (You do NOT, however, want to run URD, and if you ever see it on the internet… well, think the whole thing through… if you have a Cisco, and find you have trouble with 465 through it sometimes, and haven't turned on URD yourself, maybe get your router forensically examined! <g>) That was on the whole not a good day for the IETF/IANA.

I have limited time this morning: so here's the thread on UTA, see for yourself. https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/uta/current/msg00176.h... Long story short: using 465 is probably OK, lots of people are doing it (I am). Maybe use another port, too, in case you find a crazy misconfigured Cisco in-path, which complicates a dual-assignment.

The advice in the article is wrong: you are not in breach of an RFC if you use port 465 - and you probably should, but there's no clear consensus or resolution yet, so it may just get another port assignment (have I overlooked that happening?).
> At that time, it was an 'old' machine, but somehow seemed like it was sent from the future.

This is why when I combine my own experience with Smalltalk and Oberon, coupled with all the Xerox PARC documentation that I can get my hands on, I feel sad that the industry didn't adopt any of the Xerox PARC paradigms.

So here we are, jumping of joy for something like Swift Playground or Bret Victor's demos, when everyone could have had something like that for years now.

Ask HN: What does breakdown feel like?
Those who've gone through it, how does it feel like?

I am in a situation strange to me; I don't know if it's a breakdown. I actually overworked for past 7 months or so (18 hours on extreme days, 8-10+ on average), and now I can't write code. I don't want to. Something in me has given up something. It's like a ship is stuck in middle of very peaceful sea with no water or wind current whatsoever. I have little money left but I don't care about it. Nothing is motivating me ahead. Learning something new always work as an escape plan for me, but even that is not working. I don't want to play games or read sci-fi or anything that want me to move a finger. I am lying in my bed all day long doing nothing.

What shall I make of this situation? Is this what people call breakdown? Or am I out of fuel for good? I don't see any exit myself; sometime I get frustrated with myself and want to end everything (for a man self is the world). But I don't.

I used to really really love programming; I have spent 70% of my life in front of my computer since I got one of my own (about 5 years ago). It was always fun, I was never tired or bored. About 7 month ago I got a big project (I used to make small apps/websites for pocket money earlier) and I started giving it my all. It brought me even bigger project from same client (also my mentor); I gave it my all too (spent 10+ hours a day on it). And the third project I got from same client is even bigger. For about a two months, I worked on it with full dedication. Then for past month, I started slowing down. But I still pushed. And then suddenly I couldn't think clear. All of a sudden the project wasn't interesting at all. I used to love it when I started. I am physically well now, can think clear. But I still can't code. I don't know why.

I've always loved programming, and the fact that I am not doing it for no reason is killing me.

I had the same thought. The difference may be that the standard says implementations must define "implementation defined" behavior. On reflection, it would seem uncharacteristic for the standard to insist that undefined behavior never be defined by the implementation.
