best long term solution would be to just "build more New-Yorks and San Franciscos". US is starting to have a "London problem" where too much of our economic and social capital is concentrated in a handful of cities. You can't have 300 million people and growing forever competing for a place in one of those cities. The government just needs to encourage more of these type of cities that can compete on a global level.

Dear SEGA: Sonic Re-Design, a Study
It certainly is the lie the whole article hinges on.

If you're just looking to make a bit of money, then sure -- working once a month during a surge pricing event is ideal. If you're looking to earn a living driving for uber, being an employee appears to be better.

In SF, minimum wage will be $15 by 2018, and indexed to cpi thereafter, further eroding the argument.
One person's 'political correctness' is another person's 'being respectful'. I have seen situations where a group of young white men make offensive jokes about girls "because there were no girls in the room".

Be polite. Be nice. Be respectful. It would make the world a better place. That means thinking about whether something you are saying or doing is making other people uncomfortable, and then not doing it.

I think it's John Rawls who suggested thinking about the world you want to be born into if you had no idea which gender or ethnic group or sexuality or body type you would be born as. It's a sad truth that I would not want to be born as a female with an interest in programming, and that makes me think there's a sexism problem in programming.

Sure, there are baying mobs going around social networks who will attack just about anybody for anything. But there are also good people rightly calling people out for saying things that are totally unacceptable given their position.
Sure. I won't argue with that.
Nice to make your e-acquaintance. Counter-example: Fasted the last couple of years in a -20% calorie deficit. Did nap during the day, but then worked out right before iftar (dinner). It's not an uncommon regimen. Just like anything else with a n of 500M (+/- 200M depending on number of adults and sick/elderly), it's hard to make a generalization.

Personally though, it went fine in terms of productivity and energy. Trying to work out without that nap was pretty brutal but fasts are long enough to fit it in after work.

Your comment is interesting to me because although i've only looked at Rust from a distance, its seemingly lack of features related to server side code ( threading , non blocking io and networking api) have made me wait before i actually start coding in that language.

Seems like those parts still need more work.

@crusso, haha I only heard about this show when my friend suggested that I go ahead and apply to participate. It does take some mental effort to cruise through a prolonged fast. It's especially hard in our society where so much is centered around food. It was inconvenient at times to be the one who doesn't eat in social functions and such, but you get over it. The key is not to talk about it and have to explain to people why you're not picking up a beer at the BBQ. Also this wasn't my first prolonged fast, and I know from experience that it does get easier the more you condition your body to rest and take a break from constantly digesting.
I think clearing out your bowels would be considered de-toxifying. As, much of that stuff just stays inside your intestines unless you do some kind of colon cleanse (men should do this with their doctor at 40-50; depending on how much red meat they eat). Also, with fat being burned and toxins are mostly stored in the fat, I have a difficult time understanding how losing fat isn't detoxing.

I meant to say it's painful, not 'pure detox'. Headaches and agitation isn't fun to deal with on a constant basis. But science barely understands the wide range of benefits from fasting. Whether that means empowering your immune system (which is what fasting does, energy to digest is now used to fight illnesses, etc.)

That shows how little you understand about the Android build tools. Dalvik and ART are not compilers.

Prior to this year, javac compiled the Java code to .class files and then dx translated the Java bytecode in the .class files into Dalvik bytecode in a .dex file, with some simple dedupe optimizations.

Only this year did the Android build system switch to Google's own compiler.

Flashbacks! My first job involved JTRS. We were working on an unrelated DARPA project: XG. The purpose of which was to develop the opportunistic spectrum use capability described in the article. Early on, they saddled us with the requirement of implementing our technology as an SCA component, even in simulation. I glued some open source reference implementation together with our code, but we ended up hiring a consultant to write a whole SCA implementation in house. Which we then ended up throwing away because it was pointless to do that in a technology development platform.

That said, I don't think CORBA is the worst thing ever. It was slow as shit back for the day, but in this age of HTTP based RPC services it seems lightweight and efficient. Memory management in the C++ binding was broken by design, however.

This project specifically is probably not useful for others just because it is written in another language (unless it were to succeed in fixing problems or improving security or performance.) Redis is a server application, not a library, so there's a clearly defined and interoperable protocol to bridge the Redis server to other languages already. Writing a Redis client for the other language would be more useful.

More generally, as coldtea mentions, making integration into the rest of the language's ecosystem is the primary benefit of rewriting in another language.

The value of such a port to others depends on how easy it is to integrate between the two languages, either via libraries or other methods. The harder it is to integrate the two (and the absence of automated translation tools) increases the value of the rewrite to others.

Your Core-NLP example is actually an interesting one, because that library has already been ported to other languages... It is available for the C#/F# ecosystem (http://sergey-tihon.github.io/Stanford.NLP.NET/).
> I'm also concerned by reports of abuse, harassment, and discrimination in our community, particularly toward women and other underrepresented groups. Even I have experienced harassment and abuse myself. This may be common in the tech industry but it is not OK.

I find it hard to imagine other professionals (doctors, lawyers, accountants, even other engineering disciplines) behaving like this.

Is that a failure of imagination on my part or is IT/CS particularly toxic?
If you live in Norway you are allowed to regulate your fasting in accordance with the sunrise and sunset in Mecca. For other places where the sun is visible most of time you are allowed to regulate your fasts according to any other country with a more reasonable schedule.

Not the OP, but when I fasted I only drank water, usually distilled. You don't eat anything, hence the term water fasting. I should mention that I personally got weekly blood tests to keep track of the vitals (especially potassium levels) and this is something you definitely should do especially if it's your first prolonged fast.

This is not true at all. If Rust's development were determined by Servo, we would have kept green threads and implemented struct inheritance by now.

The reason timeouts were dropped is in the IO/OS reform RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/8fa971a670f9b9bc30f31...

And on UDP:

I'm on shaky wifi and my phone, so I can't find a citation for this, but I also believe it was removed due to 1) Rust not having any stable representation of time and 2) needing to shim certain behaviors on some platforms, which we decided wouldn't happen in the first round of stable interfaces.

That said, the lack here certainly hurts, and we did manage to stabilize Duration, paving the way for timeouts to return.

EDIT: Oh! I forgot that https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1047 got merged recently. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25818 implemented it. http://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/net/struct.TcpStream.ht... shows it implemented on nightly, so you can actually even do timeouts today, just not on the stable channel.

Your body is digesting food that remained in your intestines and also fat deposits. Toxins are in the fat and removing undigested food can have a liberating affect.
This is true, but the tooling for creating PDF's from LaTEX probably generates much more predictable results. One may be able to create a "PDF to LaTEX" tool that only works reliably on PDF's made from LaTEX.

Though there's always the brute force method of using a tool like PDF-to-Text and then editing it's output into a useful markdown document. I've had to do that a couple of times.

Taking a rest from eating...can be invigorating. That's been my experience. But don't force it. I find that I need to be prepared mentally and adjust my days to read more and do less physically demanding tasks, that is if I'm going on longer fasts.
If you ask me, modern authors have a habit of putting too little into a book! But of course your criticism has merit. Les Miserables is indeed very long, though I don't think any of it is waste.

I could see hanging "How an early neural layer thinks about these addaxes."
It depends on what you're doing. See https://github.com/jonhoo/volley, which uses blocking IO and 1:1 threads, and we're still damn fast.

There are also libraries like mio that can give you no blocking IO. Rust's standard library is deliberately minimal, exploring the ecosystem a bit is helpful, though admittedly not as easy as it could be. Working on it!

Ask HN: Any steam engineer here? Need your help
I bought 3 DLC for D&D Online last Sunday during the 75% off sale, while i only receive 2 CD-Keys, one of them is missing.(Library from website: http://i.imgur.com/BShuynb.png CD-Key list in client: http://i.imgur.com/KD3Unzq.png)

I filed the support ticket while the support guy kept asking me turn to Turbine for help(FYI I do asked them and they replied that i should ask steam for the missing CD-Key).

I quoted the response from Turbine guys in my supporting ticket, and got following response:
"We have provided all the available information and will be unable to assist you further with this issue. If you have an unrelated problem, we will be happy to assist you. If you would like a refund for the title, please let us know."

Broken, Abandoned, and Forgotten Code Part 8 – The Return of the Buffer Overflow
The whole article is like one long spin job. "Explicit" is somehow the happy medium between the query engine putting together a plan based on data statistics and... I'm not even sure what space this claims to be the middle of. Keeping the examples simple enough so that there is an unambiguously right order of operations - filter before you sort, that's genius! There's no way your granddad's RDBMS could have figured that one out! What if the optimal order depends on the values, or changes over time? Just rewrite and recompile?
Just for the record, skipping breakfast + lunch has nothing whatsoever to do with fasting. It's not even remotely similar in terms of how your body reacts to it.

And as others have commented yes there are many of us who have fasted for days at a time for religious reasons.

So interesting preview but i heard first time about that paradox that seems so logical.
You hear this "safe subset" thing about the syntax rich languages all the time and I really don't get it. I really do use all of C++. There are some pseudo deprecated bits and some extremely esoteric bits I don't hit, but beyond that I do wind up jogging most pieces of the language and standard library. Pretty much the same with my usage of perl. I've never written a source filter or a format, but otherwise I use a lot of the "niche" features regularly to great effect.

This whole sentiment comes from people who work on large rotating teams with enough inexperienced people, I guess? Sorry, learning a language properly takes a couple years or more. The features aren't wrong or bad, your team just doesn't know the tools well enough. You can't play modal jazz with the big boys until you can do your scales. I guess have fun doing your pop medleys with "simple" languages.

Your assumptions are correct. And this is how the spacecraft industry operates. In fact, like rack units, CubeSats have "1U", "3U", etc. Spacecraft components and instruments are modular. Data interfaces vary, but 1553, SpaceWire, and RS-422 UART are all quite popular. The part that all the instruments and components bolt to are called the bus. Aerospace companies have standard buses.

The huge variable is the mission itself. Your blade server analogy is too narrow. Look at applications of computers on the ground. If you want to put a computer on a collar to track wolves, a blade server doesn't work. If you want a computer to take with you on a jog, a smartphone is appropriate. If you want to run a data center, a blade is great.

Spacecraft vary just like this. JWST is the size of a tennis court. KickSat was the size of a cracker. The environments they operate in are crazy. The Voyagers are in deep space a light day away. Some spacecraft are just a few hundred kilometers over your head. A one-size fits all approach doesn't work.
There's nothing but muslims' so called studies on health benefits of islamic fasting. Islamic fasting may be anything but healthy. It goes like this: wake up in the middle of the night. Eat yourself full and maybe more. Sleep. Wake up. Don't eat or drink anything until the sun goes down. Eat yourself full and maybe more. Sleep until the next cycle begins. Putting on more unhealthy weight during and after ramadan is not rare.

Drinking water is forbidden until the sun comes down and the fasting is over for the day, and in summer, excessive dehydration is fatal.

Sounds intense.
I can't read the article itself, but elsewhere you can find that "the FMD lasted five days every month for three months and provided between 34 percent and 54 percent of the normal caloric intake with a composition of 11 percent to 14 percent proteins, 42 percent to 43 percent carbohydrates, and 44 percent to 46 percent fat."

I agree with you that it doesn't sound especially "proprietary".
Detoxification is a myth: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/05/detox-my...

There is no science behind it. There is also no science behind extended fasting, giving your body a "break" from digesting and so forth. By all means fast if you feel like it and you believe there is some health benefit - you are harming no one, after all - but please don't try to justify it with medical science.
Yup, I have. I've fasted for almost 2 full days and felt fine. When I finished my fast I had some water and small snacks and then later had a larger meal—my throat is usually a bit dry and it can hurt jumping into a big meal. I find when I fast that my mind is more alert and I'm more efficient too.

I've grown up as a Mormon though so since I was a teenager I had usually fasted at least once a month for two meals so maybe I'm more used to it than most people would be. Also, I'm naturally quite thin so that probably has something to do with it too.

In the scenario you just described (ie opting in to seeing ads)? I don't see how it would be. You could make the same argument in the following scenario: I buy a product with my credit (or debit) card and then ask my card issuer to not let the transaction go through (while not claiming fraud or anything). If the resolution was that the transaction was legitimate and is fulfilled, isn't that "unauthorized use of your account against your wishes for the benefit of another party"? Do you think that would be a crime (theft)?

When you're a grownup, when you agree to pay for a product (again, this scenario is opt in, by contrast to a lot of current content delivery), it's not a crime or unauthorized to enforce your end of the transaction that you agreed to. I never thought I'd have to explain that to someone over the age of ten.
I have a similar experience when fasting!I feel a bit more energised and definitely have a clearer mind.
Hi!
I say that crack about ramadan with all the affection in the world, I really do. I'm from a long line of catholics who give up sobriety for lent. It is my favorite human thing in the world that we can turn a fast holy month into a feast holiday.

Though I am a bit more serious about the the gorging/extra sleep probably negating the benefits. I don't have the studies on hand but I think that most of the fasting studies usually assume a 'normal' diet and lifestyle during non fasting periods.
The vast majority of phones shipping today include VP8 in hardware. VP9 is a bit rarer at the moment.

Remembering back to my training a few years ago on all these radio systems, I'm not really sure there's a replacement for gaining a deep understanding of radio wave theory and actually getting out there and building antennas and systems. In one course, we built all the antennas we needed from things like claymore wire and constructed resistors from hammering a nail into the ends of a battery. IMHO that radio hardware itself really does need to be something that "just works" and isn't weighed down by trying to do too much.
I've been fasting one day a week (24h and recently closer to 36h) for a little over a year now. The first few times were hard to get through, and at first I experienced the next-day binge you describe. The worst part was having trouble sleeping through the second night of a longer fast.

After a few repetitions I got used to it. I don't feel like stuffing myself the next day. The hunger during fasting is still there, but it's much easier to deal with now. And sleeping during a longer fast is starting to feel easier now that I do that more consistently.

So you might want to try again once or twice and let your body adjust. Or not—ultimately you have to find something that works for you.
