I like to use interactive debuggers like gdb (for C) or pdb (for python) for that.

You first have to localize a region (function) you want to study, then you reach one of its execution with a breakpoint, or a conditional breakpoint.

Then, you inspect:

- the callstack: in which condition the function was call

- the parameters / local variables

- the subfunctions: in both tools, you can manually call any (reachable) function, try different parameter values and check the result. Pay attention through to the side effects!
Users will always ask for more features. Your job is to curate. When you recommend a book or a movie, you don't tell the entire synopsis to get someone to read or watch. You figure out how to curate the recommendation. No different for a startup.

For you guys, the only thing people need to know and remember is that MinoHubs helps me get funding and make my software projects successful. That's the core of the idea.

The feature usage of an actual product also tends to follows the Pareto Principle. Most people use a small fraction of the features and a handful of features will be the most used by a wide margin.

Usually you market those most used features, but sometimes those features are different from the features that are best for getting them to sign up or even converting into a customer.
> normally the value of a house climb faster than inflation

Why? That implies that there's a pricing disbalance at every transaction, starting with the builder who sold it, and continuing with every seller down the road who accepts such a crappy deal. Why do so many rational people and businesses make irrational decisions to sell the house then?

As the house and underlying materials get older, maintenance and replacement costs go up, so eternal appreciation is questionable.

I understand the long-term statistics are on your side, I'm just trying to understand the rationality of microeconomics behind it.
Yes, when the defamer doesn't even bother to show up in court to defend himself that's a pretty clear sign that he doesn't have a case.
It depends on your definitions. If you consider all legal systems to be "states," including primitive tribal ones, decentralized ones, etc., then yes, "state is a prerequisite for law" is a tautology. But today, "state" usually refers to a relatively large and relatively centralized organization governing a well-specified region that is recognized by other such states. Using that definition, a state is very clearly not a prerequisite for law.

Most shops don't think like that. Using too many languages often quickly becomes unmanageable.

I wouldn't use 6 different languages into the same project UNLESS they are part of different server/cli tools that work in isolation. I don't need to have a deep understanding of Go to use Docker, I don't need to be a PHP expert to deploy Drupal or Wordpress , I don't need to know Ruby to use vagrant,nor Java to use Cassandra. So using these tools in isolation is fine inside the same project.
I would do something like this on my macbook:

You need leiningen, that is the make of Clojure, the repository cloned and you are good.
This cartel group didn't bother with the "Ghost Gunner", which is a joke. They got a real Hardinge 3-axis CNC mill and made parts from solid aluminum blocks. Hardinge is an old-line US machine tool builder, in business for over a century.

There's stuff in the article about "where did they get the G-code" to cut the part. Any good CNC machinist, given measuring tools and a part, can model a part like that. It helps if you have SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor.

Or you can just look up "lower receiver 3D model" and download the model from GrabCAD.[1]

Maybe gun serialization should include barrels. Good rifled barrels are hard to make, and require special purpose machinery.

Mass of genesis probe: 494kg according to Wikipedia.

Mass of an empty F9 stage: not public, but http://www.spaceflight101.com/falcon-9-v11.html estimated it at 23,000-26,000 kg. That's almost twice the 14,000 kg payload of the heaviest helicopter I could find, the CH-53E. Do you really think designing and building a new helicopter with twice the payload capacity of anything built will be a more cost-effective plan?
With a ~10% approval rating for congress and historical lows across the board for most Americans, I'm not sure it's cynicism.

I don't think you could honestly find someone that feels like they are being represented in congress. Our lobbying system is an open joke that we wish we could do something about.

Also, our PAC is funding those true believers but most people don't realize that it costs thousands of dollars to run for congress and most Americans don't have that money. We can help these campaigns with a PAC.

We're looking for people that are tired of a broken system and have the desire to make change but need a strong toolset to do that. We're building that toolset. Part of that means we build the world's most secure voting platform that's has a clear audit trail and it also means that we can't turn a blind eye to the fact that it takes money to win elections in the United States.
The four dissenting opinions in this case are interesting. They deal mainly with the fact that, strictly, such pronouncements are not within the authority of the Supreme Court. They are correct, in a sense. But by that logic, Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. V. U.S. (1964) should not be; by that logic, we should have waited for America to realize, of its own volition in 50 states, that allowing a business to deny a black man a hotel room is fundamentally wrong. But for the group wronged -- consider the same-sex couples facing the death of a spouse, the endless and expensive legal hurdles, or the millions of black Americans who couldn't sit at a lunch counter -- waiting for all 50 states to come to the right conclusion is cruel. No, the court has a moral obligation, where it can, to stand up for the people for whom justice for all would come too late. It's certainly not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. But the Founders were not infallible, were not seers of the future; it is just as incongruous to hold them responsible for their failures as it is to hold us responsible for our failures we have not yet realized.
Why does the history of the thing have any bearing on whether something is sex discrimination?

It seems quite obvious to me: if a man is legally permitted to do X, and a woman is not, purely because she's a woman, then that's sex discrimination. It doesn't matter what X is or how much history there is around it.

If you want to argue that the 14th Amendment was not intended to prevent sex discrimination in marriage, I'm right there with you. But I don't see how you can argue that requiring marriage to be one man and one woman is not sex discrimination.

Marriage has nothing to do with procreation.

The government doesn't care if you plan to have kids when you get married, there's no tick box saying "You agree that this marriage license is only valid if you have kids.".

Marriage is about a union, that's it.

One might have to build one, and the scheme may well only be suitable for smaller rockets. Also, the point isn't to slow down the 1st stage from max velocity. It's to replace the landing legs after a near-hover.

Oh, come now. Even make install makes assumptions about default directories etc. The right to override is the correct level of control over target directories - people who care can make that call, and indeed will be looking for the opportunity.

>The Contitution, the Bill of Rights in particular, protects minority rights...

You are jumping to the consequences of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights in particular, protecting individual rights.

Because the Constitution, the Bill of Rights in particular, protects individual rights, minority rights are protected.

> constitutional provisions aren't necessary when the lawmakers are on your side.

Except when the lawmakers are in the minority (and you being in the majority), the majority still needs protections. Since its the individuals, not minorities that are protected, the rights of the [individuals in the] majority are also protected.
I'm happy for this decision, way to go!
That's a separate issue though. You can have weak/unprotected VPN keys as well.

I think the author's argument about using VPNs is more a "right tool for the job" thing. SSH is fine for remote shell, but then you start to need other network service access. You can use SSH tunneling, yes, but a VPN is better suited.

So, in a nutshell, the point is "only expose a single service." And since a VPN is more flexible than SSH, might as well go with that if you have the choice. You can of course make counter arguments along the lines of "expose only the minimal amount of functionality" or whether you think a VPN or SSH is more secure.
I keep forgetting this one: don't offer help to complainers.
> are you an American?

Yes.

> May I ask where you received your education pertaining to the Constitution?

From a constitutional law course taught by a professor with a JD from Harvard.

Again, rights of a minority are individual rights. But it's disingeneous to say that the constitution PROTECTS individual rights in general. It does not. It protects a small subset of individual rights that are most relevant when someone is in a political/racial/religious minority. Calling these rights minority rights is more accurate than calling them indvidual rights. In addition to minority rights, the consitutiton also provides a mechanism for ensuring other individual rights -- both de facto and de jure -- are protected.

Most of the founding fathers considered freedom from unreasonable taxation a plausible individual right. The Constitution doesn't provide explicit protections against that; instead, it provides self-governance.

Here is how I viewed this exchange:

OP: 5 is a positive number.

You: 5 is a number.

Me. That's stupid. It's more accurate to say it's a positive number, why are you correcting OP?

You: But positive numbers are numbers!

Me: Yeah duh I'm done here.
What makes Homer's Iliad better than Martin's Song of Ice and Fire?
Well, that doesn't scale at all. I don't remember the last time I've worked on a project where even skimming all of the code would be possible in a reasonable amount of time, much less actually reading it and refactoring it.

That said, it probably does scale to the OP's 8k line code base.

Also, running the code through a formatter and refactoring it all right off the bat is a sure fire way to piss off everybody else working on the project.

In any case, my 2 cents for the OP is to not bother trying to learn the whole codebase, but instead focus on just the areas you want to enhance. For example, in the case of the new data source, find out how the existing data sources are implemented, and use them as examples for adding a new one.
Well, nation states have only existed for 500 years or so, and marriage is mentioned in the Bible and plenty of Ancient Greek writings. I'm not sure if that counts as evidence here in reality-land.

It seems to me that they'll have to use the rocket engine to slow the rocket down regardless of how it is recovered. Once that's being done it is just a matter of increasing precision in order to set it down with no additional complexity.

That said, there is complexity in having higher performance valves and such to get a fast system response, but still that's improved performance of existing equipment as opposed to adding more stuff.
This is impressive, and in line with Haskell's philosophy to "avoid success at all costs".

As a mere mortal programmer, who knows a little Haskell, my takeaway is that if you want to run Haskell in at web scale for a a large userbase, you need the language's primarily compiler author to help build the application and to modify the Haskell compiler to make it performant. And you also need your team led by a 20-year-veteran Haskell expert who is one of the language's handful of luminaries whonwrotr a plurality of its main libraries. What are the rest of us to do, who aren't at Facebook?
Sorry about my lack of clarity.

My question is, what's behind their "make vs. buy" decision. They pretty much have to buy or steal RPGs if they want them, you really don't want to mess around with primary and secondary explosives unless you absolutely have to (or so I gather, I've steered clear of them, I like my hands intact), but if they can procure RPGs, they can much more easily procure rifles. Don't know what the cost for a AR-15 pattern rifles is, but I heard some time ago the price for an illicit AK-47 pattern rifle is around $100.

Lack of access to Mexican military supplies (their fighting with the Los Zetas might suggest that) plus logistics might be part of the answer, the latter as in they'd probably rather smuggle more drugs into the country than some rifles, especially if demand for marijuana exported to the US is low (everything else is much smaller size and weight). This picture https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/Matazets-inte... shows them armed with AR-15 pattern rifles and the guy in the front right has a LAW, which is a US Vietnam era one shot rocket launcher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M72_LAW).
>>> You teach them that when they grow up, they can marry someone they love.

That's avoiding the question. Do you, for example, show kids pictures of gay/lesbian couples and straight couples in equal proportion? Or do you show them mostly pictures of straight couples, and gay/lesbian couples only occasionally? Is it bigoted to teach kids that being straight is the "default"?
This is largely true in the US. I can't speak for how it works in all states, but in most you need an official to marry the couple. The official can be either a religious minister or a government official (such as a Judge or Clerk). From the States point of view, it is not really a religious issue.

There are actually "religious" organizations who for a small fee will give you a certificate to act as a minister to perform a weddings, no dogma required. I believe these are accepted in all states.

In my state of Colorado, a couple can marry themselves without the need for any official from the state or religion. Couples marrying themselves are free to ask a friend to stand in as an informal "official" during a ceremony, but legally, they sign the marriage certificate as having married themselves.

In the US the question of gay marriage is really about the government recognizing the it and giving gays and lesbians the legal rights and responsibilities found in marriage. Most church's will continue to be against it and not perform such ceremonies. Although a few, such as my own Unitarian Universalist have been advocating for gay marriage for decades.
Haha might want to turn that off...
What do either of those have to do with polygamy?
$250M for a /8 (2^24) is almost $15 per address, which is 35% higher than the recent public deal [1] (though in RIPE address space), so maybe the time of $16 per IP did not come yet ;-).

I guess you've seen that at least in RIPE the transfers are alive and well: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/wilhelm/ipv4-transfers-in-the-...

And ARIN just the other day put up for discussion the simplifications in transfer [2], so with the impending scraping the bottom of the barrel (today morning only /23s and /24s left, in total less than 200000 addresses) it should liven up.

OTOH the higher the price per Legacy IP goes, the more incentive folks have to do IPv6. There's a odd satisfaction in having the lots "I told you so" moments in the past half a year or so, although I feel sad for folks who made the life for themselves more difficult than it should've been by pretending the IPv6 not to be a thing.

Especially for the folks on HN doing startups: whereas before you could have gotten away with temporarily glitches in IPv6 connectivity when it was available with 2% users, today when you enable IPv6, 1 out of 5 users in the US will use it [3] - and predominantly mobile [4] - the US is leading. Not much time for learning on the job now! Luckily Cloudflare [5] and Akamai offer at least a temporary patch by frontending the site with IPv6 and providing the X-Forwarded-For.

Later on, the use of CGN on IPv4 and NAT64 to reach the legacy IP sites will increase - now think of all these precious analytics they are missing because of CGNs hiding the individual users...

Anyway a /8 could become more valuable when the IPv4 routing table grows bad enough that the operators start to filter the routes more aggressively. This is the fun part in the whole game to catch the moment to cash out.

Sorry, this turned out to be quite a bit longer and more offtopic than I wanted, but hopefully might help some.

>repeal the second amendment.

Alright, I'll bite: Historically, the second Amendment was meant to to refer to guns being allowed inside of a well-regulated militia. This is accomplished by the states' National Guards. It was not intended to mean that each person gets to have a gun.

This, according to America's Constitution: A Biography by Akhail Reed Amar. Great read, it walks the reader in a novel-type way through each part of the Constitution.

But, we've expanded the 'meaning' of the Constitution several times in ways the founders would have never anticipated. This in like with the 'living document' aspect, and a direct result of our veneration of document that is quite short.

It's not surprising at all. There have been reports of construction companies rebranding themselves as tech companies and doing a public offerings at P/E ratios that would make the hucksters of Silicon Valley circa 1999 blush.

In an odd way, your constitutional amendment (b) would outlaw marriage altogether.

When you have an inalienable right to something, you can't bargain that right away through contract.[1] An inalienable right to define who is family would make it impossible for anyone to enter a "contract" for an exclusive relationship (which alienates your right to marry others you want to have in your family).

You couldn't get married (at least as that term is used now) any more than you can enter a contract to become a slave.
