Well the issue is more that it's been such a asterisk on a song it'd be more kids never hearing 'Happy Birthday to You' in the first place. 'Happy Birthday' and sharing blowing out the candles may be the most c

I agree with this in entirety there is a whole set of production steps that take it from a skeleton to seaworthy to battle ready. The issue from the American perspective is that those shipwrights, technicians, and other workers do not have

If you are unfamiliar with the American procurement process it is: 1. demand is generated by the military 2. bid out contract 3. selected a bidder (bidders are defense contractors) 4. deliver contracted goods and also maintain inventory par

I wonder how this differs from the usual McMaster Carr table which has the benefit of an actually smooth/consistent surface https://www.mcmaster.com/#6124T5 and in general just seems like a better deal.

It feels like we have already started to hit that outcome in a sense in the people who took out loans as the cost of education skyrocketed without seeming bound in the 90's. In my naive opinion it feels like the entire economy already

In traveling throughout the US I don't really know how high speed rail is really going to improve anything outside of like the LA to San Fransisco and the existing Acela coverage area (which is essentially following the flow of I-95 an

I'm kind of surprised that they say they are still struggling. B&N in my area is one of the few chain stores I go to where I am actually interested in their inventory and often but things. I agree that the Nook seemed weird as it w

Even more generally I would like to see some benchmarks being done of the VM extensions or other processor features. I don't know any benchmarks that helps you understand if the AES native instructions are any good or improved between

There are a couple of things that feel concerning about this from a security perspective, as it's optimizations like this that could create another spectre class vulnerability. Mixing cache lines arbitrarily seems bad when you think of

A lot of the reason why I personally find >60 wpm difficult is similar to the UI feedback studies that come up on HN from time to time. If I avert my gaze and let my typing become a secondary act it's not as bad, but there are some

The thing I find Best Buy really useful for is things that actually need to fit you or do not have a standardized size or really varying quality like headphones or mice. I get attached to models of both of those items and eventually they ge

I don't think there is any majority thinking that streaming games is a thing now that VR's around. Game streaming was struggling against the speed of light to get a modest/responsive game experience. Even then on the low end

This feels like a plea for Fortran that has hindered some of the other communities of scientific software like High Energy Physics where they are struggling to get key software ported to C++. If the SciPy community glues itself to Python 2

I had been looking at using BPMN and an implementation of Camunda as a reasonable goal, but I never found an implementation of running a BPMN service that I liked in the time I had allotted. In the workflow each item is essentially a ticket

Just want to give Forgotten Weapons a plug here. There is a ton of manufacturing knowledge baked into those episodes as well as some great information on tech paths that didn't pan out that I haven't really gotten from another sou

I generally only look for the 'bigger' projects, and only really bother if it is explicitly mentioned as a thing to look at (e.g. used this open source project/language). Even then my criteria is the same I would approach to

If anything the thing that is a killer feature that I always try to get out of emacs but ends up being half baked is the code completion/code aware tools (like the example given of refactoring). With emacs and yasnippet I can emit a to

Cscope feels kind of lousy nowadays after I have been using opengrok. It handles multilang repos so much nicer and allows you to search all the codebases instead of just one.

It's very likely that because this is a performance driven optimization that exposes the security hole it is at a layer beneath the microcode from how the instruction pipeline/branch prediction was working to begin with. The wiki

Something that always strikes me is how insanely complex it is to even experiment as an outsider to the university path. From my understanding a relatively simple 10+ year ago tech ASIC is still going to run like $10k USD for a shared die p

I just want to add to this that accounting is extremely figured out in a lot of ways, and so learning it well will help you run your business better even if you are not doing the grunt labour. If you understand the ebbs and flows and trends

This makes sense to me because there are a lot of these youtube-esque clones that are finally reaching fairly good production value and can recut what they are building for a youtube format as well as a structured format. It feels like an e

I have seen a lot of lack of recruitment as well, or completely misunderstanding why people came in the first place. There's also a lot of organizations that had an 'expected trajectory' when it came to regular recruitment an
