I know Pomodoro (most of us do i think), don't know the rest. I first thought this was an April fools though, but its posted a week ago.

Wikipedia can only help me with Pomodoro also ;)
Sorry, I should make it clearer. I used the word extreme to designate hilly. In the context of the original poster it's pretty clear:

From the OP: I'm planning to compete in a 75km race with 4 1000 meter vertical assents in October. This is about as mountainous as you can get in Australia. This is a walk in the part compared to the races in Europe, New Zealand and North America.... I look at the course profile for that, and the course profile for the 4 1000m assents for the 75km race I'm doing in October

The whole point is that you don't need high altitude to get extreme elevation change in a race. I'm more familiar with cycling, but in that sport there are probably only about 4 or 5 rides in the world we can't match in terms of hill climbing, and those are either extremely long continuous climbs (eg, Haleakala, Alto de Letras; our longest is 30km) or 10km+ at extreme gradients (over 10%; Mount Zoncolan, Alto de L'Angliru; out longest is around 9km).

Generally you can make the race harder by looping it over steep terrain, just like the Barkley does.

I was hoping the OP could enlighten me as to why we don't have trail runs in Australia that are just as challenging.

On closer examination, you seem to be correct. Without insight into how Chinese secret service works the simplest explanation is that the attack was likely perpetrated by them and that is what we must assume to be of highest probability. I will leave my comments here for posterity.
>Could you get to near-perfection by simply increasing the number of microphones used?

No. Ears are (kind of) point sinks. Which is why dummy head stereo works so well on headphones - it's literally recording the sound that would usually go into your ears, as opposed to normal stereo, which records something that's usefully but rather distantly related to what goes into your ears.

Two microphones are enough for that.

A side point is that everyone has a slightly different HRTF, so it would be interesting to hear what you'd get with a neutral point sink recording convolved with your HRTF.

>Also, could using cheap microphones be compensated by using more of them?

No again. Cheap microphones add non-linear distortions and have a limited and inaccurate frequency response. If you use more cheap microphones you just get more of the same.
It's your classic Prisoners' Dilemma. (No surprise, since game theory was largely developed to analyze nuclear war.)

You're stuck with another guy. You're both better off if you both cooperate. But individually you're better off if you betray the other guy. In that situation it's really, really hard to arrange cooperation.

The US and USSR would have been better off if they could have put a halt to the madness. But if one stopped, that gives huge incentives for the other to betray.

The thing is, betraying the other is the rational thing to do. It's the worst outcome, but it comes from purely rational actions.
Because Intel destroys anything ARM has to offer in terms of price/performance or performance/watt, even on microservers since the Avotons came out. We're also going to see Xeon D's and Denvertons before proper ARM based server solutions come to market.
For the time being, use CloudFlare. They have SSL enabled even in the free plan.

Handling textures via CG Buffers is quite fast you are right and you can basically do whatever you want in terms of image manipulation using the shaders but you'll lose efficiency as soon as you introduce complex picking (text selection for example) and / or computations (aliasing etc...) between JS and your pseudo-DOM.

In the end the only difference you'll have compared to the real browser renderer is that you do less computations from CG(GL) to RAM (JS), hence the performance.

You can check this very old project of mine where we tried to link DOM and WebGL Nodes: https://github.com/aout/SAGE

edit: just saw the repo wasn't entirely up to date. Done now.
Poorly done parallax scrolling. You'd think they would have learned by now.
Syntax highlighting is a complex problem, because it needs to be fast enough, and the more token types you have, the longer it takes.

Each time you type a character, you have to parse the code (clang is used here), select the according color, and draw the text (often the OS will deal with this, and I don't know if you can tell an OS to just update one line of drawn code).

This is a vim plugin, and it's way easier to colorize text in a console environment than in a cross platform GUI window (not to mention UI text editors use a dedicated data structure, the rope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_%28data_structure%29 to make text editing responsive when using the mouse).

My guess is that sublime text completely shortcuts this problem by using webkit to draw its own text surface.

Anyway, it's another example of how competing windowing systems are inflexible and make things harder on the programmers, which often overcome the problem by avoiding the OS. Cross platform software programming is more than a philosophy or an art, it's a war against OS manufacturers. It's won by finding the easiest solution to make it work on all platforms.

In this case, you can clearly understand how making an editor with syntax highlighting requires many different things, so editing the colors and adding a language will greatly improve complexity.

My take is that one day someone will have the decency to just release an OS that just offer developers to use the hardware directly (or something like cairo) to draw even a simple window, without anything like Xorg, android, wayland, gnome, KDE, etc. The cost of coding something to display the results of your software is way too high when you want to do it the "mainstream way". I'm a little angry at Torvalds, not having tried to introduce something to build simpler GUI stuff.

So, in short, don't expect it to work on sublime text if the dev don't get involved. I guess it's possible since sublime text support scripting, but I wonder if it's possible to do it with decent performance. Even Sublime text start to hang a little when you have a large html file.

I was once very frustrated with text editors (always some missing feature, and I never accepted to switch to vim or emacs), so I tried to make my own, and I failed miserably and settled for what is already there. I still wonder if I can be more productive with vim, but if it becomes necessary to use it because a 11" laptop can't run an IDE, maybe I'll do the switch.

My suggestion would be to focus less <60 seconds and make the site more informative, user friendly, etc...

To the argument that homelessness is because of mental illness / substance abuse. I think there's probably another (as yet unproven) side of this. And that is substance abuse / mental illness can and probably to a large extent is derived from the environment you're in. How many people would not fall into a funk if all they were ever worrying about were their bills, and never capable of making a dent in them. Let's face it. Some people get themselves into situations where they're never going to accumulate the skills necessary to make it out of borderline poverty. Most of the times it probably takes several generations to get into that situation. How many generations (in today's economic environment) could it possibly take to get out? It's sad to see that most of them feel such small amount of hope they put all their "money" on getting their kids to the NFL / NBA / etc. The system has failed them and it's not taking any steps to help them get out of those situations.

A national emergency declaration doesn't sidestep Congressional oversight; in many cases, its a required condition of exercising powers granted by Congress.

Ask HN: Stats around non-traditional domain endings
I'm trying to come up with a product name/domain. I've seen the trends on HN to have endings in .io or .ly. While I see the appeal in smart names like that, I don't know how well they work with average consumers. Has there been any research on how using a non-traditional domain (.com, .org, .net) effects sales?
Compilers don't require much math. Nothing difficult at least. (I guess if you're interested in compilers for functional languages this might not be as true). Same for operating systems, as far as I know. I have no experience with database engines. CS theory on the other hand is very mathematical, as are some more applied subfields such as cryptography or graphics.

Math is nice, and useful for some classes of problems, but it is certainly not needed for huge amounts of the programming done. Some people have this masochistic ideal of programming where if you're not solving problems that require the most sophisticated mathematical techniques then your problem isn't important. There are plenty of problems in programming that aren't particularly mathematical in nature and are very challenging. Compilers are one of these, as are many others.
Good to see more of the arm64 port on there. Hopefully it is fully developed this time. I was excited last year seeing arm64 in the 1.4 notes, only to be disappointed after looking into it more.

I agree. That's why I'm agnostic. We're not able to determine whether God exists or not, so I accept the possibility that it does exist as well as the possibility that it doesn't. Instead of looking for answers to impossible questions, seems better to explore the possibilities of the existence we can experience.

I had wondered why the German taxpayers would be so generous to American students. Perhaps this will last longer than I expected, especially if some of the students hang around after graduation. I can't imagine it being official policy, but the obvious way to hook people into staying would be to get them married to Germans before graduation.
Yeah that is a great clip, and an intriguing idea. Also, by running it through the old-timey filter, they don't have to have their "look" complete. (Unless the look really is this Thomas Edison thing, which would be weird but OK I guess.)

Diplomatic logic suggests Github is serving as an object lesson:

1. 中华人民共和国 has laws.
2. 中华人民共和国 is well connected to the internet.
3. 中华人民共和国 can project its interests
around the world easily in rather nasty ways.
4. 中华人民共和国 can project its interests from
within its borders.
5. 中华人民共和国 has an interest in controlling
commerce within its borders.

I believe this is an act of foreign policy, not domestic. It's not about unplugging citizens from the internet. It is about achieving some parity with other state level actors in regard to what is and isn't allowed on the internet.

中华人民共和国 's interests are orthogonal to those of the US and UK. It is not so much interested in the internet as an organ of a surveillance state or as an alternative source of foreign intelligence in lieu of boots on the ground.

The mechanics of the attack are entirely within the realm of sanctioned internet behavior: visiting a site places javascript in the browser without explicit approval of the end user. The javascript may do something not in the user's interest. The javascript may generate unnecessary internet traffic. The purposes for which the javascript does so are solely the purposes of the site injecting it.

The great wall comes with terms and conditions.
If github were down for two days, you're probably right, those projects can't be deployed.

But if github were down for two months, the nature of git suggests that deployment for those many individual projects would shift either to the originators' infrastructure, or some other aggregating service.
Ahh Nice! I was going to start working on something similar to this.
> I'd consider something like €7/month (perhaps with less storage) to be a more acceptable price.

Fwiw it's €10/mo if you leave it on all the time, which isn't too much higher than that. The headline pricing of €0.02/hr is capped at a max €10/mo, i.e. free past 500 hours. Sort of similar to how Google Cloud does automatic discounts for high-utilization instances, except that Google's utilization discounts are a curve rather than a cliff. (But yes, still not including VAT.)
What he means is that is exactly what the browser does already. It's just slower because it handles more of the standard.

It rasterizes the DOM.
One missing piece to the puzzle from that page is accuracy and hardened targets.

These days you can just about crush an individual ant with a missile fired from the other side of the planet, but it wasn't always like that. Accuracy used to be much worse, especially on the Soviet side. At the time the Tsar Bomba was developed, you might be lucky to get your bomb within a mile or two of your target. Even bombers were frequently way off target.

Then consider that a lot of the targets are hardened military targets, not cities. Destroying cities was always either incidental (they contained or were near military/political targets) or a last resort (convince the enemy not to attack by threatening his population in retaliation). Primary targets were (still are!) things like airbases, missile silos, and command centers. Many of these are hardened targets. A more normal-sized nuke going off a mile or two away from the intended ground zero will still wreck a city, but a missile silo can take it. If you want to be sure of getting targets like that, you either need to be a lot more accurate or you need much more powerful bombs. Accuracy wasn't possible at the time, thus huge bombs.

If you look at the evolution of nuclear arsenals, it was a race to bigger and bigger bombs until sometime in the 60s, at which point accuracy started improving greatly and the bombs got smaller again. For example, the US fielded lots of 9 megaton bombs in the 60s, but now the typical weapon in the US arsenal is under one megaton.
The mechanisms of "national emergency" and the IEEPA are both products of congressional oversight. If they didn't want him to be able to do that, they could repeal the IEEPA. Of course, this is pretty silly: if they put this executive order to a vote in the House, the only flak Obama would get is that he is not also bombing China.

The source itself is not "open" (though it is available for you to read), neither is it under the MIT license.

To meet the minimum requirements for open source, the copyright holder must grant you permission to modify the source and create derivative works. Microsoft most certainly does not grant you those permissions.

The MIT license implicitly grants you patent-use permissions; MS has taken those permissions away, hence this is not the MIT license, but an MIT licensed that has been ammended (so much so that it is perhaps no longer open source at all).

If you can get text selection (and copy/paste) working please post how you did it. I wrote Gate One which is a web-based terminal emulator. Right now I have to go through great pains to ensure that text being rendered to the screen happens in a performant way while still allowing for copy & paste functionality. It also has some features that will highlight text that you select with your mouse and other text formatting stuff.

I've experimented with canvas in the past to see if it could improve the performance of, say, a terminal that updates very quickly but it ultimately ended up being just as slow as the regular DOM because of all the extra code that had to be running in order to keep the hidden buffer in sync with what was displayed to the user.

I'd be curious to know how the performance of WebGL compares to the (accelerated) canvas.

I haven't done any research into what this executive order actually does but language like "not one we expect to use everyday" makes me nervous. This sounds like down-playing. Laws written with good intentions are often used later in ways and at frequencies with which they weren't designed.
