One would expect it to be possible to #define most of the keywords and functions one would need using the C or C++ preprocessor, though the actual #include and #define macros would still be in Latin script.

Unfortunately, the C standard (Annex D of http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf) does not allow runes in identifier names, but it would work for characters explicitly mentioned in the standard and supported by one's C compiler.

Here's my attempt:

#include <stdio.h>

#define _ᚠᛟᚱ for
#define _ᛁᚠ if
#define _ᛖᛚᛊᛖ else
#define _ᚱᛖᛏᚢᚱᚾ return
#define _ᛗᚨᛁᚾ main
#define _ᛈᚱᛁᚾᛏᚠ(...) printf(__VA_ARGS__)
#define _ᛊᛏᚱᛚᛖᚾ(...) strlen(__VA_ARGS__)
typedef int _ᛁᚾᛏ;
typedef char _ᚲᚺᚨᚱ;

_ᛁᚾᛏ _ᛗᚨᛁᚾ(_ᛁᚾᛏ _ᚨᚱᚷᚲ, ᚲᚺᚨᚱ *_ᚨᚱᚷᛒ)
{
_ᛁᚾᛏ _ᛁ;

_ᚠᛟᚱ(_ᛁ = 1; _ᛁ < _ᚨᚱᚷᚲ; _ᛁ++) {
_ᛁᚠ(_ᛊᛏᚱᛚᛖᚾ(_ᚨᚱᚷᛒ[ᛁ]) & 1) {
_ᚱᛖᛏᚢᚱᚾ("Hello, %s\n", _ᚨᚱᚷᛒ[_ᛁ]);
} _ᛖᛚᛊᛖ {
_ᚱᛖᛏᚢᚱᚾ("Goodbye, %s\n", _ᚨᚱᚷᛒ[_ᛁ]);
}
}

_ᚱᛖᛏᚢᚱᚾ 0;
}

Clang and gcc both give errors of this form:

rune_c.c:16:2: error: non-ASCII characters are not
allowed outside of literals and identifiers
_ᛁᚾᛏ _ᛗᚨᛁᚾ(_ᛁᚾᛏ _ᚨᚱᚷᚲ, ᚲᚺᚨᚱ *_ᚨᚱᚷᛒ)

I used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes#Runic_alphabets as a reference.

For other languages, one should be able to use Ruby metaprogramming to make it possible to write Ruby using nothing but runes and punctuation. One would have to define runic methods to replace the functionality def, class, module, and related keywords, but tricks like instance_eval make that possible.
Whether it's man-made or not, I'm not sure there's much we can do at this point beyond adapting. Even if a country or continent went to zero emissions it wouldn't matter because of the rest of the world.
This is a great summary and analysis of the best career advice from lots of different people.

Just sent this one to a few friends as well.

"Crisis" mode eh - once that's on the cards then you can push all sorts of things through. You should look into the termination issues with geoengineering (once you pop, it's very hard to stop). Also.. there will likely be trade off zones where the climate will get very bad. Under some models you shaft parts of Africa, but if you do things other ways then you can stuff N. America. Who gets to decide?

Have a read of "This changes everything". Do we _really_ want to go to geoengineering and, frankly, gamble that we've got it covered. I don't like that idea.
For some models, linear regression included, there may be a closed form solution, but it might just be too expensive to compute. In particular, high dimensions can screw everything and sparsity can allow much cheaper solutions, so sometimes you just revert to gradient descent or SGD.
There's a cost to preventing it and a cost to protecting ourselves from it. One of them must be cheaper. We already make seawalls to protect against tsunamis rather than somehow trying to weld all the fault lines back together. That's because it's cheaper and serves the same goal.

The largest possible n is the total number of population, and if the expected number of infected soldiers is == 0 the largest n is also the optimal one. Since we know the percentage of infections is a lot more than 0, the largest n isn't optimal. Otherwise if 1 person is infected, you'd be back to square one and your initial test of a cocktail of your entire populations' samples was fruitless.

The second largest n one could choose is half the population by dividing into two groups. It's the most optimal n if the expected number of infected soldiers is around 1. Since we know the percentage of infections is a lot more than 1, the largest n isn't optimal. Otherwise, if 1 person in each group is infected, you'd be back to square one and your initial test of two cocktails of each half of the populations' samples was fruitless.

...etc...

At p = 0.01, the optimal n is, according to this article, around 20-25.

The study will be published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) and will be subject to their "Interactive Public Peer Review" process. The peer review process is described at http://www.atmospheric-chemistry-and-physics.net/peer_review...

>"The process of peer review and publication in the interactive scientific journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) differs from traditional scientific journals. It is a two-stage process involving the scientific discussion forum Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions (ACPD), and it has been designed to utilize the full potential of the Internet to foster scientific discussion and enable rapid publication of scientific papers."

I'm not sure how well respected or wide-spread this "interactive" peer review process is, or if the study can also be submitted for more "traditional" peer review in the future.
Good read, thx for the post.
Indeed, one would reach the plank length -- and hence the distance simply cannot be infinite.
"True. I got the impression that the specific nuance of benefiting FOSS as much as non-FOSS was being a bit glossed over, though."

In the original article? Yeah, these people often get so worked up about how proprietary products can benefit that they forget the huge amount of open-source, non-GPL efforts that can draw on the work. Despite the fact that the server traditionally running on every Linux box was an Apache-licensed one who's name I can't recall... jk.

In any case, I fully respect your decision to try to help OSS projects avoid wasted work and make something they can all use regardless of license. Similar to those putting work in the public domain. That used to be a badge of pride in developer altruism. Now, the standard license (GPL) for altruism forces the developers will on users of the code. Quite the change OSS went through.

The notion of a fluid is more generally related to the concept of a continuum which allows for the PDE description the Navier-Stokes equations offer.

If it is a standard web application it probably connects to the DB as one very powerful user that can at least read/modify data in the DB, and may have DDL permissions to create tables etc.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I was replying to your overall message about:

> I wonder how much the Edge's performance will affect the average person's decision to use it or not.

About half of people using Windows continue using IE right now. So, "everyone" and "average" definitely refer to a lot of people who have absolutely no idea what any of us are talking about in this entire page of comments. It's so easy to underestimate how little truly "average" folks understand or care about these nuances in the real world outside of a few tech bubble areas.
When I say "give the benefit of the doubt", I mean trust but verify, i.e. ask the person why they're asking if you are lost. Saying that we should just automatically assume bias is intellectual laziness and is just perpetuating the problem rather than solving it.

That seems unnecessarily aggressive to me, even though it could be meant in the best of intentions.
I had a Rails consultancy (Makandra) recently work on a JS-heavy application that I happen to own, and they got Selenium singing on it, which had been beyond my capabilities for years. One of their tricks, which you can inspect the implementation of in their (public) utilities library [+], is using basically a vendored Firefox per project and VNCing into that Firefox to drive things around. It is thus off-screen and out of the way when you're using it, but apparently is more true-to-reality than headless.

The test suite they wrote has about ~600 tests and while they're slower than I'd like (2~3 minutes) they've been bulletproof since we got my dev environment configured properly. It includes some fairly complicated interactions, most relevantly around our calendar interface.

May want to check out the patch - after a syscall in a directory failed because the directory didn't exist, node would issue 4-5 additional stat() calls for the other filetypes (.js, .index.json, .json, .coffee, etc) even though the directory didn't exist. Solution was to abort after the first failed stat(). https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/pull/1920

Do you have a source for that? I can believe it in certain cities (like SF), but then again, SF wasn't as desirable a place to live either (SF population was dropping in the 60's and 70's).
The planck length is simply the base length when you set up your units such that c, G, and h are all 1. There's currently no reason to believe it has any sort of physical meaning beyond that.

Regardless, all the reasons you're giving for why you prefer permissive open-source licenses also apply to the GPL.

What's going on with the HN title font? That square-with-the-bottom-missing character seems to be the proper codepoint for lowercase-pi, but it's definitely a not a recognizable rendering of lowercase-pi. Even in sans serif, the top bar should extend past the corners on the left and right.

Ah, you're right. I read sshd_config(5) on Arch, which uses 6.9p1 and says the incorrect default is "no". I assumed this was the case on other distros.

So to correct my previous post (I can't seem to edit?), it should be, "Debian-based distros set `without-password`, and others use the default `yes`."

Thanks for the correction!

To me, the biggest improvement Rust brings to the table is its sane defaults. This, coupled with its type system, makes handling outcomes something you opt out of.

As I continue to use of Rust, I keep finding myself avoiding `if` statements in favor of the `match` statement for this reason alone.

This is somewhat pedantic, but the average anything of anything can never be equal to π; it's an irrational number, and averages (arithmetic means) are ratios.

What should be said is that the average might approach π.

EDIT: I'm wrong, read the replies.
That closed form requires matrix inversion. And that is almost always (but not always) a bad idea. It is numerically unstable/sensitive and more expensive than need be. Sometimes you also need a quick ball-park figure of the answer and the ability to query the answer anytime. These can be done with iterative algorithms (gradient descent is one such iterative algorithm, conjugate gradient descent would be an improvement of that). With the closed form you have to wait till it finishes going through the motions. Its an all or nothing deal. OTOH you can stop an iteration anytime and peek at the current estimate of the answer.

If this comment has even one takeaway, I would like that to be "don't invert, unless you are very sure that is exactly what you need". In some scenarios inverses are indeed required, solving linear equations are almost always not that scenario.
Elegant explanation of how to do parallax in CSS
People can have misplaced feelings. If they feel the world is out to get them and everyone around them is racist - they'll only ever see actions towards them as racist.

It's called offering alternative points of view that are more likely than them being a victim of some form of implicit racism.

Perhaps, maybe it isn't the person is racist, but that the person is a nice person who wants to help.

God forbid someone wants to help you without you having to explicitly ask for help.

Sorry if my post came off to you as more about my feelings than about nice people not being racist. Nice people will see a person crying and ask them what's wrong?. Not wait for the crying person to ask for someone to talk to (crying people will almost never ask a stranger for someone to talk to).

Likewise - nice people will ask if you need directions if you appear lost.

The world would be a better place with more nice people willing to help others without having to be asked. I think most people, not just me, would agree with that sentiment.

But turning everyone who's just trying to help into some aggressor is exactly how to make the opposite world.
It affected it for me. I've tried the watch on and its just not usable that way for me. Another poster says he prefers it that way. I find the choice of mimicking watch controls odd to begin with, and then to align them in a such a way that they provide a different experience for different users seems odder still.
Very, very. It worries me sometimes - and I know we're on HN and that's the audience here, but still - that people see "a startup" as the one and only way. This will inevitably lead to pain and heartache for many.

I've worked contract jobs through my 20 year career and have done very, very nicely out of it. (I started in the UK and am now in AU - our rates are healthy and consistent.)

Now, with my 20 years' experience, am I thinking of branching out and doing my own thing? Sure. Would I have recommended that to my 18 year old self? Hell no.
That's the job of property speculators. Curiously, the prices they pay seems to indicate that they don't expect it to happen and are putting their money where their mouth is - unlike scientists and reporters who have nothing to lose by being wrong.
Phil Plait, who does the Bad Astronomy blog, did a well-calibrated and respectful job with that piece. Phil is well hooked in to the solar community, so he is a good person to be consulting. Thanks for linking to it.

Basically, the uproar was caused by a very speculative theory [1] that solar magnetic activity might be decreasing in the coming decades. This concept is not well-established; in fact, it is better-described as a highly speculative theory coming from a data extrapolation by a very small group of solar researchers, at one institution, over the last year or so.

But even if their solar claims turn out to be true -- very big if given their methodology -- they (A) can't (and don't) link their magnetic claims to irradiance, and (B) the irradiance effect of sunspot/magnetic change is strongly believed to be quite small relative to other effects anyway, especially anthropogenic ones.

If you're going to be pedantic, do it right.

The average of 0 and 2π is π, so an average can certainly be π. Yes, the average of a finite number of rational numbers cannot be π since π is irrational. But why would the sinuosity of any river be rational? The sinuosity of a circle is exactly π, for example. The true sinuosity of any given river is almost certainly irrational as well, since irrational numbers vastly outnumber rational ones in a very relevant sense: if you pick a real number uniformly at random between 0 and 1, there is literally zero chance that you will pick a rational number. Similarly, there is zero chance that the sinuosity of any river will be π or that the average of any finite number of rivers will be π. However, what they mean when they say this is this more precise fact: if there were an infinite number of rivers formed like those on Earth, the average sinuosity of that infinite collection of rivers would be exactly π.

There. That's how to be pedantic.
If you're into this kind of tracking but don't necessarily want to go with Google, check out the Moves app (available on both iOS and Android). It's pretty no-nonsense and has an API. It guesses at locations based on things that FourSquare has, which would be its main weakness compared to this, I think.

Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that one of the things that I love that uses the Moves API is Gyroscope (http://www.gyrosco.pe). Development seems to have stagnated a bit, but it's still a really neat site.
As others have mentioned there are multiple options. If you want micro-segmentation (one network per app-tier) with fine-grain access control you can use the OpenContrail plugin https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-kubernetes.

In all seriousness, watches are generally worn on the non-dominant hand. I'm not really sure why that is, I only know for me wearing a watch on my left hand leads to inconvenience and scratches.

But not all left-handed people are alike. Some of us write "hook" style, and some of us write basically like a mirror image of a right hander; and from what I've read it is correlated to whether we are right-brained or left-brained. So maybe that also makes a difference in whether a watch on our left hand makes sense.

That's about when it started getting bad. The term "Sig Alert", for an unplanned lane closure, originated in LA in 1955. It takes its name from Loyd C. "Sig" Sigmon, who created a radio-based notification system for the California Highway Patrol:

Sigmon developed a specialized radio receiver and reel-to-reel tape recorder. When the receiver picked up a particular tone, it would record the subsequent bulletin. The device cost about $600. The LAPD's chief, William H. Parker, was interested, though skeptical, warning the inventor, "We're going to name this damn thing Sigalert." More practically, he refused to use it unless the receivers were made available to all Los Angeles radio stations — it could not be a KMPC monopoly.
