Weirdly, after 24 hours, I am the opposite of ready to binge-eat. I feel hungry, but I'm also very quickly satiated.

The revelation for me was after my second accidental 24hr fast, before doing anything deliberate with my eating schedule. I had skipped lunch the previous day, and then household drama prevented me from eating dinner. The next day, we had a team dinner set up at Publican in Chicago, which is hugely a metric fuckload of calories, and so I skipped lunch that day as well.

I was pretty hungry when we got to the restaurant but found myself too full to eat pretty quickly, much more quickly than when I'd been eating on a more "normal" schedule.

I also find that on an IF-y schedule, I'm a little hungry at 2PM; I eat a couple eggs, and then I am basically never hungry at any other time. I still eat dinner, but mostly because we cook for the family.

A fringe benefit of this lightweight pseudo-fasting schedule is that it's very easy to control macronutrients. I haven't eaten in 18 hours, so I'm eating because I legitimately should be eating, and so almost anything works for me; I don't find it at all difficult to opt for proteins and fats over carbs, which is challenging on the "normal" schedule.

Basically: the "normal" eating schedule is, in my case, just dumb.

I question why they couldn't buy COTS P25 radios for tactical communication in a hardened form factor - I'm sure Motorola (or whomever else) would have gladly whipped up a extra durable version of an XTS3000 or XTS5000 - P25 by its nature supports pluggable encryption, so you can use just about anything with it.

For Lower than 30mhz - there are many COTS solutions using well proven technology, even supporting digital encrypted audio available.

Also important thing to note is that optimal query plan can be different based on the data you have.

To get a good performance you will chose a different strategy when your query has 3 jorges out 1M records vs if you have 900k jorges in 1M records or when the table only contains 100 entries.

Why indexes are not always a good idea? To use an index you need to make at least two lookups per entry, one for index and one to fetch the data. If your query will fetch 900k rows out of 1m rows table, much faster is just to read the data and just filter out values we are not interested in.

> 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.

This is the cognitive dissonance of our selfish nature. People are willing to buy home insurance because they don't know in advance whether they are in the unlucky group whose homes will burn down, or the lucky group. They don't feel jilted when their home doesn't burn down, and their premiums go to those whose homes did. But since men know from the outset they are in the lucky gender, many of them kick and scream when anything is taken away from them to help level the playing field.
I had no idea there was no concept of "safe harbor" with respect to trademark. The especially bad part here is while copyright seems to benefit small and large players alike (while imposing costs on small and large players), trademark benefits accrue primarily to big players, and costs to small players and individuals.

Hey there! A little late to the party here, but I work at Mixpanel and we'd be happy to help you out as well :) It's definitely not normal for ~40% of data to be dropping out of your tracking.

The observation is as valid. I've never taken DMT to comment in that respect, but I very much concur with leereeves's LSD association. The fact is our brains see something similar when on the drug. This is amazing.

That's interesting. I haven't see it that way before.

Good point, perhaps they will have stories where they have been judged by their race. How can it be demonstrated it's not merely their own perception? The court systems and the internet are both open, can anyone here point out instances of discrimination?

However, asking for experiences without a process to vet the facts may lead to the best data. Doesn't everyone sort of think they come out of unfair circumstances one way or another?
You should read the Django Code Of Conduct before venturing further into this discussion, because what 'enneff is talking about isn't simply harassment.

What they're trying to do is set expectations about decorum and professional courtesy; for instance, if you're on the mailing list or IRC channel and someone asks a question with an "obvious" answer that has been covered 10 times before, how are community participants expected to respond to that?

Lots of communities without codes of conduct get testy, hostile, inhospitable, snarky, or obstreperous when those kinds of things happen, and that makes the community harder to engage with, especially for newcomers.

Really though it's a tongue-in-cheek observation with a basis in the reality that a 'Joint' program implies multiple service branches sourcing requirements. In turn, that increases requirements count and complexity, which in turn has a non-linear and negative effect of program efficiency.

It also often moves program decisions from technical tradeoffs made by engineers into political space between branches.
I don't think it's unorthodox. Perhaps uncommon these days. The application logic needs to live somewhere. I like doing in stored procedures because you are close to the data and that leaves your client code free to just implement the user interface. It's much easier to support different client platforms without having to rewrite all your core transactions. It's actually my favorite way to architect an application. I like views for the same reason, especially for use with 3rd party reporting/BI tools.
That's what that is! Thanks for mentioning this. With Linux also, when I turn my monitor off, it does seem to treat it as though the display was removed. That's interesting. Glad to know it's not an OS thing.

Show HN: LAPM (Local Admin Password Maintainer)
Microsoft's LAPS (Local Admin Password Solution) is getting a lot of attention lately, so I figured I'd open source my version, that I released via my blog three months earlier.
And with that, I realized that Amazon doesn't have a feature I wish it did -- wishlisting an item that won't be available for several months. Perhaps that is on purpose. If you don't want to forget about it, you're then forced to order it then and there.
Again: what would be the benefit of collecting hundreds of mediocre (and probably predictable after the first few samples) data points, without being able to do the kind of science you really want to do?

If we had a few things we knew we wanted to monitor for a long time, then this sort of proposal might make sense. But we don't, and there are always new questions to be answered, necessitating the use of different instruments on different missions. Those are rarely as simple as a camera simply taking pictures.

Moreover, I think you are overestimating the reliability of COTS hardware and underestimating the environment in space -- or underestimating the cost of radiation hardened hardware while overestimating its capabilities. You don't just grab a SD card or a CCD and send it into space. Likewise with lenses/filters (we are more interested in some wavelengths than others), etc.

COTS hardware may work for cute balloon projects that stay within the Earth's atmosphere, or (maybe!) satellites in low earth orbit. Space is a very different environment.

Even with "economies of scale" pushing down the cost per probe, you still have substantial fixed operational and science costs on top of that. Since running a large fleet of probes would be, overall, more complex than a single probe, I'm not sure if it would even be cheaper to operate than a few specialized probes. So you get worse science for, at best, the same cost, with much increased operational complexity. Again: what is the benefit?
Yeah. That one is really quite something.

uber also claims full-time drivers in nyc earn a median wage of $90k [1]. Which is utter bullshit [2]. So I assume everything they say is deceptive on some way. For instance, do they wish to work fulltime but can't break even doing so?

[1] http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/wp/2014/05/2...

[2] http://www.inquisitr.com/2077969/how-much-do-uber-drivers-re...
I hate to criticize but this stood out to me:

> SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'jorge' ORDER BY age;

> Can we tell from the query if this is the case? No, we can't. You'd have to look it up.

and then:

> r.table('users').filter({ name: 'jorge' }).orderBy(r.desc('age'))

> Now, can you tell from the query if the users are filtered or ordered first? Yes! filter comes first.

The filter comes first in both queries. It's exactly the same.

The part about indexes is interesting though.
Both support mmap and shared memory - that's why I found the "shared memory" usenet post a little puzzling.

In reality, the simplest answer is to just not view the content.

Serious question. I just haven't heard of that, except perhaps in the military and police.
> I know that whiteboard coding exercises are in low regard these days

I wouldn't say this. The hive mind holds them in low regard perhaps, but people hiring have to actually get the job done and in different companies different approaches are possible.

Why do you think it was the whiteboard? Perhaps you were just up against a really good candidate pool.
People block ads not because they do not like them, but because ads are just lazy.

Building a simple durable FHSS system isn't hard either, you could then effectively send a P25 data stream on top of it - the radio access channel and data stream are reasonably divorced in P25. Even then, its hard to build an effective broadband jammer - you simple move to another part in a say ~120MHz band.
Though the 1994 ANSI standard is 1153 pages, Common Lisp somehow doesn't feel large. A lot of it is library pieces that can be understood more or less on their own and work independently. Somehow you can know the language well, without reading 1153 pages cover to cover. If you see anything in someone's code which is standard, but which you don't know well (or at all), it's not going to throw you a big curve ball.

C is a "small" language and is pushing 700 pages now.

Projects written using small languages tend to use lots of extensions. So do projects in larger languages, too; they use some subset of the core language, probably a small one, and then other libs which address problems not covered in the language at all.

How big is Perl? How much of CPAN should be included in that measurement? If the answer is "none", how realistic is that? Do you know Perl if you don't know any CPAN module?

How about Scheme? The base standard is small. But then there are SRFI's. It seems disingenuous not to count htem. And then there are implementations and their environments and extensions, which projects depend on. What better represents "Scheme size"? The R6RS document, or some measure of the size of, say, Racket?
Thanks for your reply - I will read it. This is something that is interesting to me, and I hope it doesn't come across as I am taking sides - but more asking questions and expressing my first initial fears, given my experience with some engineers who are 'rough around the edges' but are invaluable in their experience.

For the record I am in no way saying I want the community of golang to put up with this stuff. It should even be un-cool to use bad language, and of course completely not-ok-at-all to be racist, or harass people, etc.

I certainly won't stop using go if there is a CoC. I simply hope that it doesn't turn into a framework for people not having thick skin when an someone who does not have a soft approach is giving out useful information.

If it is truly gotten so bad that we have to have that to also have a wider effort of dealing with really bad stuff like racism or harassment then I guess so be it. Maybe my head is in the sand, but I was curious what has happened like this in the go community?

More my bigger question which no one has really commented on, but, why not have this on the go-nuts forum as a CoC for the forum, and have it on the IRC channels?

For example, HN has some guidelines, such as the don't be overly negative thing and what not. So, can communities like email groups, irc, and sites like HN not help our culture along enough?

Curious to hear people's objective thoughts on this. I did some quick research. Django has a pretty elaborate CoC. Python is very brief, and leaves a ton open to interpretation. Ruby on Rails doesn't appear to have one. Ruby does not have one. C does not have one.

What communities has this been a problem in? I have heard of some in Python. Just curious as this is a new issue to me, and being in this industry for 15 years, I have just gotten use to terse people, and have experienced very little harassment or racism. I see articles lately dealing with misogyny, but have yet to have to deal with that fortunately. Possibly, I am just lucky?
I've seen one person go thermonuclear trying to prevent ad blocking, and it seriously sucks. Randomly generated content classes and IDs, shifting DOM elements around to avoid them being targeted that way, and later on just completely removing all the divs from the area and manually painting large advertisements with primitives. Made scraping substantially more difficult, but of course not impossible.

One site that still has me beat dynamically loads all of the content and code through a websocket, and various bits are so heavily obfuscated that they look like brainfuck. Finding tools to tamper with SSL websockets is a challenge enough in its own right (Chrome has nicer tools now though).
I think this is a silly argument. It's much easier to write a database without query planner than with a query planner.

The reason why you would want to have implicit language is because an optimal query might be different depending on what data you have and even what are you querying.

For example if table has only 5 jorges it's probably better to use an index, but if majority of users are jorges or the table is very small it's far more efficient to just scan it.
Indeed. Lisp is a poster child for how you can have one standard put out in 1994, and everything is reasonably fine 21 years later.

I really respect that about Common Lisp: the committee had the good sense (lacking in C and C++ and their ilk) of going their separate ways when they got the job done.

Good sense in a way that is related to good taste, I should add.
It's nice to see they based it off Debian.

I'm going to guess that the damage is done, and any respectable project has already made steps off of SourceForge.
One of the interesting things about games is that to the end user/player the majority of the value is the art and level design, two things which are extremely easy to divorce from the source (and thus license-able under whatever) so unless you're EPIC or somebody trying to specifically license tech open sourcing a game really doesn't make a lot of difference in the business model.

that said I'll add to the list DROD (one of the best puzzle series ever):

The EFF is fighting for the right thing here, but it loses credibility when it mischaracterizes legal procedure to make things look extra-scary.

E.g.

> Often this order is initially drafted by the entertainment companies.

Courts usually require parties making a motion for some relief to submit a proposed order that has the desired effect. It saves time and makes it clear to the court exactly what the party is asking it to do.

The article also uses the phrase "secret order" like a million times. Obviously they're not secret because links are posted right in the article. What they're talking about is a (temporarily) sealed temporary restraining order.

15 USC 1116(d)(8) states: "An order under this subsection, together with the supporting documents, shall be sealed until the person against whom the order is directed has an opportunity to contest such order, except that any person against whom such order is issued shall have access to such order and supporting documents after the seizure has been carried out."

If you read two provisions before that, 15 USC 1116(d)(6), you find why the order is sealed: "The court shall take appropriate action to protect the person against whom an order under this subsection is directed from publicity, by or at the behest of the plaintiff, about such order and any seizure under such order."
Exactly. I don't want to micromanage how the RDBMS executes each and every query. My job is to tell it what kind of results I want, and its job is to get me those results. I don't care how it does its job as long as its gets the job done quickly and efficiently.

I wonder if there's a large intersection between people who like to micromanage their query plans and people who like to micromanage their employees.
Clean HTML (no superfluous tags), proper links to references (the rendering splits the links between author and year), ligatures are broken in browsers, standard footnotes are insensible for HTML, the standard HTML used for headers, figures, and others wasn't to my liking.

A little more than a year ago I was working on a very space-constrained device: only 2kb of program flash (an attiny23 for those curious). I had to use libusb with this, which ate up a huge portion of that space. My first shot at the main program put me over the limit by almost 500 bytes. By the time I was done, I had packed the program + the usb lib into the program flash with 4 bytes to spare.

Man, was that fun.
