I'm not sure I can (or at least have the energy to) put a rebuttal into a short reply. Hemingway certainly had a sparse writing style, which doubtless reflected the fact that he had been a reporter. At the same time he spoke to major themes and values. I probably consider Farewell to Arms to be his best book.

That said, I can understand someone objecting strongly enough to his themes to not enjoy his novels as literature. (The same could be said of Fitzgerald in the same general timeframe.)

But I have trouble seeing how any of that translates into an argument for poor writing unless the lack of overly ornamental writing be considered a flaw.

To be precise, light can travel through a medium in a straight line, but it bends when it passes from one material to another.
The light bounces off the inner walls of the fiber in a zig-zag fashion as it propagates, so it cannot possibly travel at the speed of light. It depends on the index of refraction as mentioned.

From the article:

Of particular concern is that Obnam has a theoretical collision
potential, in that if a block has the same MD5 hash as another
block, it will assume they are the same. This behaviour is the
default, but can be mitigated by using the verify option. I tried
with and without, and interestingly did not notice any speed
difference (2 seconds, which is statistically insignificant) and
also did not encounter any bad data on restoration. So I don't
know why it's off by default.

Worrying about this violates Taylor's Law of Programming
Probability[1]:

The theoretical possibility of a catastrophic occurrence in your
program can be ignored if it's less likely than the entire
installation being wiped out by meteor strike.

I've seen a lot of sysadmins or programmers nitpick systems that have
the theoretical possibility of md5 or sha1 collisions, but it's
amazingly unlikely to happen in something like a backup system where
you're backing up your own data, and not taking hostile user data
where the users might be engineering collisions:

The internet is a grid of computers to which you connect.

More than that though, conceptually "off-the-grid" means not accepting a utility serivce from a provider but rather catering for that yourself. An internet connection is arguably a utility, and you'd be accepting it from an ISP. That goes against the concept, which would suggest you should maintain your own isolated network of computers and not connect with the outside world.

Nice video explanation of the mind switching theorem from Futurama.
From an ISU site, I get that natural tritium production is ~4E6 Ci (~1.5E17 Bq) per year (from cosmic rays) and that the global steady-state inventory is ~7E7 Ci (~2.7E18 Bq).[0]

From the Nautilus article, I get that there is now ~6E5 Mg contaminated water, containing 1E6-5E6 Bq tritium per liter. The overall range is ~6E14 Bq to 3E15 Bq, or between ~0.4% and ~2% of annual natural production.

So yes, it's not such a big deal.

But now I'm curious about the magnitude of other anthropogenic sources.

Ask HN: How to hack relationships if you're gay?
My story: I'm in my late 20's, I have great friends/roommates but none of them really know anyone else. We moved to a new city four years ago and haven't really made any new connections. None of my friends are gay, nor do they know any gay people. I work a lot (startup life, yo).

I've never been in a relationship.

I've tried online dating, I've tried going to events where people with similar interests would be. I've even gone to furry events (for the record: ~30% of furries are gay and ~40% are bisexual; also, I like fursuits).

I've yet to even make a friend, let alone meet anyone whom I could enter a relationship with.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's like nobody is interested in me. I wonder if I'm too boring.

Has anyone else found themselves in this situation?

How did you get out of it?

Thank you for sharing your story. I always really appreciate hearing about people's insights into behaviour, esp their own.

Earlier today, I read five different sources on MPD/DID. The general consensus from authoritative sources is that the causes of MPD are unknown. There are theories (and oppositions to those theories) about developmental trauma. I didn't find any linkage to gender or intelligence. Gender and particularly intelligence would surprise me if they were confirmed traits that influenced DID/MPD.
If you have an authoritative source that isn't under question, I'd appreciate if you can share it. It's always good to have your views challenged. See the following link for some of the controversy and general discussion. In this instance, Wikipedia summed up other sources I found quite well.

Ugh. Before the advent of CSS3 and canvas, I would have rated myself an 8 out of 10 in terms of "frontend knowledge/skills" compared to other frontend developers I'd met. I was never the cream of the crop (as a backend "expert"), but I could take a photoshop and replicate it, and knew most of the browser compatibility issues and how to work around them.

With all the CSS transforms, animations, canvas, 3d libraries, etc., I'm now utterly lost. I've gone from being an intermediate frontend guy to a 6/10 on the core necessities (all that earlier knowledge is still the foundation), but like a 1/10 or 2/10 with all the new stuff. I could probably get to 4/10 if I put in the effort, but I have a very strong gut feeling that I simply do not have the... faculties... required to be an intermediate frontend guy in 2015.

All that to say... codepens like these I've seen blow me away. I don't even bother trying to dig into the CSS. It's just beyond me. ;)
Mind control and cockroaches
"Write less code" is kinda vague but for me it means 'do other stuff than just simple coding'.

I take pen and paper or whiteboard and spend considerable time to model the problem in pseudocode and graphs (not UML, the horror, just lines and boxes) before I start banging code.

For trivial adapter code etc. this approach is pointless but the larger and more complex the component, the more it pays off.

It can also mean to employ existing libraries where it makes sense, and to utilize code generators for tasks they are suited for (e.g. writing tests with lots of combunatorial excess or implementing interfaces on top of an FFI).

It's not really intended as a replacement for reversing/assembly challenges: design-wise it's actually fairly similar to his previous games like SpaceChem, in that you're trying to break up solutions into discrete chunks that each individual node can handle.
The laptop-sized antenna he mentioned doesn't need a gyro because it uses phased-array tech. Essentially you resolve signals in any direction (up to a resolution given by number of elements and array size) by carefully combining them with certain phase offsets such that signals from all but one direction cancel out. This adjustment is made on the fly to track a signal with changing direction.
On the other hand, there's nothing cooler than having friends over for dinner and being able to say "yeah, I've never tried making this before, but it turned out great". Fortune favours the bold.

> Comparing the US with other countries is useless. America subsidizes medical care for the entire world. (Specifically research, by paying higher prices for new treatments.)

I've heard this claim several times, but have never seen any of the data to support it.

Specifically,

a. That the treatments that are thus found are on average effective. Many FDA approved treatments are shown, usually in retrospect (as opposed to the loaded pre-approval trials), to be only marginally better than existing treatments.

b. That the cost for medical research is prohibitive. The cost breakdown in the US for pharma marketing is about twice that of pharma research, whereas in most single payer countries it is much lower than that of research. In a single payer setting, you could probably cut medical care industries' income by 2 without harming research funds.

c. That the research is in fact subsidized by the cost of treatments. Many new treatments have their origin in publicly funded research. It is pharma that pays the $400M/new drug to get it to market (and they like it that way - almost insurmountable barrier to entry to newcomers), which IS of course paid for by the expensive treatments - but most people wouldn't call this part research.

Furthermore, the US has an entire and very lucrative section of the economy (medical billing on one hand, health insurance on the other) which is essentially nonexistent in single payer countries; This has nothing to do with new treatments, and is just a black hole providing no benefit to society compared to single payer systems.

> But it's never going to happen, raising taxes will never happy, increasing spending will never happen, and Americans prefer to handle that kind of thing themself.

It happens all the time. There is a part of every W-2 employyee's salary, affectionately known as "payroll tax, employer part", which is a tax paid directly by the employer, and which is - if I am not mistaken - prohibited from being disclosed on the pay stub by law. Most americans are completely unaware that thay are paying this tax, and -- make no mistake, it is the employee paying this tax, not the employer.

> Also, reducing medical expenses means firing people, which is another no-no.

Yeah, sure.

> a.k.a give everyone in the lower middle-class and below a big middle-finger

Having come from a family of modest means, I can appreciate the cost of power when budgeting on a limited income.

On the other hand, we don't allow "the poor" to drive without emissions controls on their cars because its cheaper and they're poor.

Raising the price of fossil fuel electrical generation and using that to directly subsidize renewable generation gets very close to a net zero increase in power costs, considering that wind and solar are already at grid parity in most states (and those costs will continue to decline).

If you want to be specific, we can significantly curb our fossil fuel subsidies at the federal level, and use those to directly subsidize renewables production (with any deficit made up by the general fund).

Is it possible to build a multi-mode "fiber" with an air core so that a significant part of the light's path is through air? The outer sheath made of optically dense material would only be used for internal reflection to "guide" the beam...
Yup.

And they've been down this road before, starting with Napster back in the day. At that time, the labels were offered a very serious and consistent amount of money, with tons of growth locked in. Was the dawn of broadband in the US, and Napster had 40 million users, many of whom would have paid some monthly amount without thinking hard about it.

They killed that, saw the growth of many different distributed schemes.

iTunes brought many back to the fold, and regular, common sense, moves to add value back to the process saw more people paying and fewer pirating.

If he's thinking about the consequences, he's right. Remove AD driven streaming, which is basically the replacement for aging and increasingly irrelevant FM radio, and people will just start sharing hard again.

I am not a professional psychologist or therapist. My son has been diagnosed as an Aspergers - which is in the DSM. I know it's a term that's no longer recognised, but Aspergers describes a specific set of behaviours associated with Higher Functioning Autism (HFA). I have had a number of guesses confirmed about Aspergers kids by asking their parents and then sharing knowledge.

What's interesting for me is that quite a few people in IT that I have worked with have symptoms that are very Aspergers like. It can come down to an individual's interpretation as to whether or not their condition is a mental disorder. Most of these IT people that are Aspergers like would almost certainly reject the notion of them being Aspergers, even if you explained the behaviours.

The consensus is that we are all on the spectrum - it's just the degree that our symptoms are prevalent. For example, sleep deprivation can trigger similar symptoms, so can over-stimulation. For example, have someone yell in your ear for 5 minutes and you will exhibit some of the physical behaviours that autistic children do.

There are two views, top view and elevation view. All the actors have an x, y and z.

Each of the circle structures is a nation state.

It has a capital at the center (square, blinking). Defcon is the number in the capital.

Cities (circles) send people to work at factories.

Factories (triangles) make munitions and send them to bases

Bases (square) stockpile munitions (counts, clockwise from top right: icbms, abms (anti ballistic missiles), fighters and bombers.

Bombers are big and slow (triangles) that select a target (factory, base, city, capital in that order), fly to it and nuke it, reselecting a target if somebody else destroys it first.

As defence perimeters are penetrated, defcon gets more scary.

Fighters launch at Defcon 4 and attempt to destroy bombers.

At Defcon 3, Bases launch ICBMs a low probability amount of the time.

Satellites launch at Defcon 2, and can shoot ICBMs out of the sky, but have fire/recharge lasers.

When one of a nation's assets (factory, base, city) is nuked, they go to Defcon 1.

If your enemy goes to Defcon 1, so do you.

At Defcon 1, all ICBMs will fire.

When your capital is destroyed, it's Game Over.

The control panel lets you tweak the starting parameters. There are a lot more controls for all the actors (e.g, how close do bombers flock.) than are not exposed here.
So is TestLess only for automated tests? Seems like it is.
Presumably this is because of the cost of launching the satellites (obviously quite a bit more than racking a server in a data center).

Nonetheless, if this strategy beats the latency, then I agree that it's the right one.
