I actually find reddit to be somewhat nauseating. Call me cynical, but I can't help but think the Reddit community performs every kind act with an air of smug, self-centerdness you often find in creepy church youth groups or after school specials. I started visiting reddit because digg's links started sucking, and now I visit HN primarily because reddit is no longer about good links either. It's a maassive geek circle jerk where people share semi amusing images, write self-affirming posts, and run every meme known to man into the ground. Reddit's new slogan about sums it up: "The Voice of the Internet." That's a lofty claim. Anyways, the same thing is bound to happen to HN at some point. The problem with social news sites is that they all get worse as the user base grows.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for helping people. But reddit was a link aggregator at one point, and it has been disappointing to see that side of it melt away over the years.
Different perspective though, from an academics point of view that does make an effort to reach out to students and teach them well this cheating would be disheartening.
What about OpenID? HN supports it and is way more secure than using plain text password over the wire...
TSA does not have a track record of stopping a single bad guy. It was meant to do that but it hasn't, in all the years of its existence.

It wasn't designed to conduct surveillance, gather intelligence, produce scary propaganda, it was designed to catch the guy with the bomb red-handed, as in "Oh look, there is a bomb in an x-ray machine!" kind of situation. That that has never happened. So what do they do? As a proper and decent US govt. agency that they are -- they increase the number of rules and ask for more funds...

But no politician will ever dare dismantle it. Nobody wants to be "soft on terrorism". In case of an attack they need the TSA as a scapegoat so they can point to it and say "look, we are spending all these money, we have all the people groped and x-rayed, there is nothing more we could have done, it is _not_ our fault"

So I'll agree that FBI, CIA, NSA, air marshals, the flight crew, and just regular citizens have stopped bad guys. But not the TSA.
Take a look at the Radeon more closely.

I think the Radeon + Premier Pro documentation makes it clear how it works: https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/radeon-pro-ssg-pr...

As you can see, the GPU is attached to the x16 slot, and the 4x NVMe SSDs are attached to the GPU. When the CPU wants to store data on the SSD, it communicates first to the GPU, which then pass-throughs the data to the four SSDs.

That's the simpler example.

--------------

In NVidia's case, they're building on top of GPUDirect Storage (https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/gpudirect-storage/), which seems to be based on enterprise technology where PCIe switches were used.

NVidia's GPUs would command the PCIe switch to grab data, without having the PCIe switch send data to the CPU (which would most likely be dropped in DDR4, or maybe L3 in an optimized situation).
>Which media outlets are those? Suggesting that outside of the context of an Op-Ed would be pretty unethical, but I haven't see that and I haven't read it anywhere.

This kind of site annoys me no end. I'm not sure if a LinkedIn profile is required (the text field says "or link to resume/CV"). If it does that's stupid,

You also need to repeat yourself. It asks your current position (on the same page!), time there and primary skill. Um, isn't that on my CV? If you're standardizing on LinkedIn, shouldn't you be smart enough to prase that information?

This kind of site seems to be promoting itself on the illusion of exclusivity. You need to be invited (OMG will they let me in?!?!?!) based on the premise that they have startup jobs. But do they? How many? Why can't I just browse them? Good jobs sell themselves.

What's more, recruitment doesn't work like this. The primary means of finding work, particularly in smaller companies is (in my experience) referrals. You'll often find this with (particularly early stage) companies: the team know each other.

Secondly this promise of early access is most often associated with unethical recruiting practices lime CV harvesting, particularly without any evidence of the number or type of jobs allegedly available (prer-invitation).

Basically the are better options than this at finding these kinds of jobs.
> The GIL is actually a way of keeping Python internally uncomplicated at the price of lost efficiency.

Lost efficiency? Barring significant engineering effort, the GIL is definitely more efficient than more fine-grained locking in a single-threaded situation. Which the Python core team considers of prime importance and the main use-case for Python (whether you agree or not is a different issue): previous tentatives to break-up the GIL lead to performance hits considered unacceptable (~20% across the board I believe).

It also tends to keep Python code less complicated as — much as with Javascript — you can not have two threads of Python code running at the exact same time within a process (this, on the other hand, is a very mixed blessing: it prevents people from learning about the brokenness of thread-based concurrency, and it generally breaks code migrated on a GIL-less implementation such as Jython or IronPython)
I've been doing biphasic sleeping. Segments off parts of the day alot more, and makes me break work down into 7 hr chunks... since that's all I can stay awake for at once. That said, I'm alert as soon as I wake up.. and have very little groggy time
It's a little disappointing that we didn't get to 20 cores by 2009. We didn't even make it to 8.
why? what does this offer that is not in software center?
Indeed. super() is a hook / callback which permits a library to be used in ways not envisaged by the original author.

Not really, it's been a huge, longstanding issue for a very, very long time. Spome light reading: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Newfag
They need the masses to buy their products, drive on their roads, etc. They need the whole society which provided them with infrastructure, food supply, safety, all kinds of working grunts supporting the whole thing. Before the invention of farming, for example, "entrepreneurship" was clearly entirely impossible, as everyone needed to forage for food most of the time (I recommend "guns germs and steel" for some insight on that). All "success" is dependent on the total system in which it takes place. Successful people have every right to their success but they don't have the right to claim the rest of the world below them had no effect on their success being possible. It's the ultimate in hubris.
so I opened my laptop and answered some emails from a client. The following week I got a mild dressing down from my colleagues for working after-hours and I was told by my manager not to do it again.

That happened to me at my old non-tech job. By answering a client's emails, you train them to expect you to be on call, which hurts the whole team.
Yeah, have to echo some of the comments here. These medications are not 'snake oily,' so I don't know if you just intended to use a different phrase. These medications are actual pharmaceuticals and some of them based on human formulations (notably, the anti-worm medications). In the third-world, parasites are the leading cause of death in humans and even in the first-world there are people that get some of these parasitic worms. It's easy to dismiss their necessity when you haven't been affected by the disorder.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias

Edit: To clarify my personal recommendations as a dog owner, I use heartworm prevention and flea prevention as well as recommended vaccines. I don't use the other meds unless the fecal sample comes back positive for parasites; something that should be tested at a yearly vet visit.
So many of you already knew about it, am I feeling left out :(

WOW! This has the potential to be really big. Just think about all the cookbooks, children's storybooks, and DIY guides you can create easily with such a tool, if it's done right.
Rumors abound of a Sandy Bridge- based Air hitting later this year, along with Thunderbolt — if a Thunderbolt to GigE adapter comes out, it will remedy this issue.
As tasty as your diet seems(and I bet it is), being Asian, I will barf within a couple of days if I did not have some rice or starch in the diet. And it has nothing to do with the food, it is just the way I have grown up. To me, a moderate protein diet is more palatable and hence more sustainable in the long run.
In the post that I replied to, you said that Springboard is getting into an endless loop. Having looked at the code that you posted, I commented that it doesn't look like an endless loop but more like a denial of service type problem, to which you replied that I should read the code, and that it doesn't need a loop, which was just repeating my point about it not appearing to be a loop!

Ahhh, I give up. Just try reading what I wrote before replying, mkay?

I have many friends who are much less intelligent than I who are attending "better" schools for infuriatingly trivial reasons. Getting good grades has as much to do with intelligence as it does with your ability to take tests--unless you come across a really good teacher. Forget about dreams of elitist schools (for now) and find/start a project to build a knowledge base around. Make sure it's something you have the resources for and also is big enough to require you to learn new subjects. This project will serve as your point of reference for "building" new learning habits quite organically around. It will tell you what, how, why, and with whom you will learn with versus vague ideals and arbitrary academia romanticism dictating your future. However, realize the project itself is merely a crutch for your brain to grow stronger on--you will eventually outgrow it and require a new one. Walk into a professor's office, they are very lonely and love attention, and I guarantee you they are working on something you could define as a "project" and would love to point you in the right direction. Most have to in order to keep their jobs. Undergraduate students have a hard time understanding that they need some sort of internal locus and not their friends and teachers in order to be intelligent--but they eventually catch on to this like you have just now. The hardest part will be the sacrifices you'll have to make and endure in every imaginable facet of your life; you'll have to cut a lot of loose ends (bad habits/routines) off from your life. Eventually, though, you'll find your path to enlightenment and it's always one with heart and is rarely found but more so stumbled upon (hint: always within close proximity of powerful computers and by path I mean nerd and by stumbled upon I mean HN). Only then, once found, will you know if you will need to attend a particular school or not. (good music helps to rewire your brain and the subsequent lonely spells; cats are smart because they're curious, not the other way around; also, the smarter you get the more you laugh...muhahahah)

...sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus
So maybe the way to reduce population growth is to make poor areas rich(er)?
To make the case for intellectual property, I'm not sure I would point to the fact that physical property can be stolen from an individual by the group.
My wife was my best friend, I've also known lots of friends who've gone into very long term relationships by doing it, and I just saw a friend start dating his best friend of like 5 years and they've been going well.

Honestly, having sex with your (female) mates is the best thing you can do. My biggest problem is finding things in common with women I'm not friends with, but I've already got a list as long as my arm and leg with women I'm already friends with.

Honestly I could have spent every night in the pub giving 110% game and I wouldn't have got nearly as much sex as getting married. For a nerd it was a no brainer and my penis thanks me.
You think App Store approval is picky, try FDA approval.
African warlords letting a business on their turf get rich without their permission? I think not.
It's sort of a Dawkins trademark. Many of his interviews are done in this standing, handheld camera style.

I find it creates this weird perception of almost being in the same room, like you're part of the conversation. It's distracting, but also engaging.
Agreed, basically he's saying "I'm only dating her till someone better comes along".

You're a man, have the balls to dump a woman you don't want to be with don't be a douche and string her along just to get laid it's pathetic.
On the 25th of May 2008 the Phoenix safely landed upon Mars. It carried with it a DVD made of silica glass, designed to last the tens, hundreds or thousands of years it may take for humans to visit Mars and to rediscover it. It contained messages and artworks chosen for future visitors to discover when humans eventually travel to the planet. Among them was a message from the late Carl Sagan.

Thought it was worth sharing. :)
Postgres has a core design philosophy of being “extensible”. This should be embraced..
“workers do the same. Employers pay more”

Seems too cynical to me. The only bargaining power most individual employees have is to vote with their own feet and leave. Unions allow workers to get a seat at the table with upper management when it comes to making decisions to do things like cut costs. If employees don’t have a seat at that table, getting screwed is going to be much more likely.

I’m not saying unions are perfect, but a little more power for regular employees to negotiate in their interest doesn’t seem like a bad thing.
As someone who recently jumped ship from FreedomDroid to WalledGardenOS, is there any similar apps for iOS? There is bunch of suggestions over at https://learnosm.org/en/mobile-mapping/ but seemingly nothing as simple as StreetComplete
I’m worried about the result that mass adopted drugs like these would have on society.

I’d wager that it would lead to a massive increase in consumption instead of allowing people to get healthy and then stay that way.
Yep and with Kotlin and Swift having 90% of the same paradigms it's easy to switch between the two without having to think in contrasting paradigms.
That is the content of a meme circulating recently which is imprecise at the most charitable (and IMO pretty close to entirely wrong)

Engineer Bill Fair and mathematician Earl Isaac (the “F” and “I” in FICO) started their company in 1956 and had a bank credit card scoring system available in 1970.

Equifax was founded in 1899 (not a typo). The original name: “Retail Credit Company”.

I assume all electronics are kind of a lease. Buy the beat you can at the time within reasonable time to its initial release, then follow the cadence and attempt to sell it just before the new model comes out. The actual cost is really just the delta in the new price versus the cost you sold it at. Average that over the time you used it.

I was always told buy things that appreciate in value and lease those that depreciate. Given that all of these depreciate, my model is akin to leasing since it have planned disposition (like a car lease after 36 months) and a decent idea of expected value. I don’t trash my shit, so I generally get great sales prices from it.

I bought the MacBook Pro M1 and Mac Mini.
Several people I know have some seemingly disjoint food allergies, some of the attributed to lack of certain enzymes, some without any explanations.

I'm wondering if some of the effects could be mitigated with sufficiently smart microbiome engineering.
Isn't that what all of these "Tell me about a time when..." questions select for? They're just a filter for people that can come up with a convincing lie on the spot. Or those that have prepared a set of lies for questions that the interviewer asked.

For example on the disagreement question they have this as a red flag:

>Resolution through avoidance

Sorry, but this is how the world works. Maybe there's some idyllic companies out there full of reasonable people working through disagreements, but it's definitely not most. Most of them will punish you for openly disagreeing with them. Avoidance is an appropriate strategy in that situation.
I think you just proved my point.

IMO replication is a core feature of a DBMS (like transactions or SQL support), the fact that you need to install obscure third-party tools to bring Postgres into the modern age is bonkers.
Why should they have been using RubySpec?
"Buyology" and "How We Decide" are both excellent books on the shortcuts the human mind takes when making decisions or evaluating the environment in general.

Also, Nat Geo has a fun show called "Brain Games" along the same vein.

All suggestions are a little "poppy" for some tastes, but I find them all entertaining and informative, and have found many useful bits that I apply to my sales and training efforts as well.
Can you give a reference for the snake costing $30,000? I don't see it mentioned in Elon's tweet, or any of the articles about it.
Also road rage, lack of practical public transit options, the slap-on-the-wrist of most traffic offenses compared to other countries where it's much easier to lose your license / much more expensive to obtain a license in the first place, the lackadaisical attitude toward safety, especially w.r.t. Intoxicated operation, etc etc.
I don't have any experience with this, but I'm a physicist with some linguistics background, so I can make some guesses. Phonologists analyze speech by looking at the formants [1]: spectral components of the sound that are (typically) higher in frequency than the fundamental (i.e. pitch). The formants are determined by the speaker's mouth and tongue shape, while the fundamental is set by the vocal chords. If you want to change the pitch of a speaker's (or singer's) voice but not change the speed or the phonemes (fundamental speech sounds), then you need to change the frequency of the fundamental while preserving the spectral envelope (on the harmonics of the fundamental) set by the formants.

How to actually implement this becomes a question of signal processing. I have an idea of how I might do it, but it would be pretty rough. I tried some other Google search keywords and found a PDF [2] that gives one approach and might be a good place to start.

We dropped the "Lite" part, it's now just "Etherpad"

A few days ago I saw how some children felt the Christmas ruined and was the worst of his life by not playing GTA online with their friends, I think the most disturbing should not be the attack but how people are seeing the dates which should in more family matter junction and other things.
I read it as "fixing the symptom" vs. "fixing the underlying problem". Suppose a remote attacker can trigger a buffer overflow by sending a malformed packet to your software. Your response might be to simply patch in a regex that checks for malformed packets, which fixes the immediate problem, but ignores possible deeper issues with memory management, remote access, etc.
Not free, by Windows can do this quite well. You whitelist the system and program files dir, and audit acls. Works fine. It's called Software Restriction Policy. There's also AppLocker, but MS limits that to certain SKUs because they forgot it's not the 90s anymore. Actually, HyperV has SRP, and it's free as in beer.

Seems like a simple path based system would work on Linux, as long as there aren't debuggers and such available to users.

Please be kind in your comments.

Also, you're wrong (http://legifrance.gouv.fr/), but that's secondary relatively to the harsh tone you had there.
Reading about them makes me think of Vanderbilt, who I have heard (but cannot find the source) made some of his domestic ferry services free, in hopes that you would buy food on the trip.

As an aside, Vanderbilt was (possibly) responsible for one of the more memorable business quotes I've come across:

You have undertaken to cheat me. I won't sue you, for law is too slow. I'll ruin you.

Yours truly,

Cornelius Vanderbilt
The most interesting thing in this article is the reference to "Ultimate physical limits to computation." It's something I never thought about before and honestly it kind of blew my mind a little bit...
This person's work completely lacks the kind of civic virtue that traditional liberal education was meant to inculcate. The responsibility lies with us, that we do not support the classical Western liberal tradition of virtue.
multiples of 11 => you need to get the digits to sum to be odd => you need to find a number with a 2:1 ratio of even:odd digits {odd + odd = even, even + even = even, odd + even = odd, odd + even + even = odd [(odd + even)=odd + even = odd], etc.}.

so 209 is the first number with the appropriate 2:1 ratio (edited).
Do you know of any resources where I could learn about Skype's network structure? I'm very interested in distributed systems, especially ones with the scope of Skype's network.
From my own experience building server and desktop applications (with C# & .NET) I've found that the codebase, the user/dev API, and the UI have to be built and evolved together ... as all three are dependent on each other in ways that you won't truly understand until it's all complete.

They didn't actually store it, they "showed how to encrypt it" and extrapolated that they should be able to store that much...
It definitely happens that one dvd player will be better at playing scratched or defective content than another - just like happens with CD players. And I'm certainly aware of the sony "rootkit" computer drm they put on a few audio discs some time ago... But that was on a cd data track and had nothing to do with an audio cd player pushing audio out.

I'm not asking if they would be willing to add new DRM to a DVD - obviously the answer to that question is yes. I'm just asking how you know that is what's going on, or if it's even possible to do. Can play in player A but not in player B so it must be new DRM is pretty thin.
It's been a few years since I tried to rip a DVD, but there are plenty of tools in standard linux distros that have a single "click to rip" button.
Software patents are so infuriating! It's amazing how something that was designed to encourage creativity and innovation is effectively stopping innovation.
