yup, charlie loves to make fun of intel, but then, this is different.

further down, in the comments:

> (wccftech) This article has an update on it. It says:

> [UPDATED – Feb 26 2017 7:16 PM ET]

> The editors-in-chief of two of America’s top PC hardware and technology publications have confirmed to Wccftech that they have indeed been approached by Intel regarding upcoming Ryzen reviews. Although both said that it was business as usual. Affirming that Intel’s response following AMD’s Ryzen announcement was what they had expected it to be. Adding that nothing was particularly unusual about the emails they received from Intel.

maybe it really is business as usual...?
The point is that there is a system designed to produce science, and it has significant flaws and lots of room for improvement.
Is it just me or is there a deep irony here? I find it interesting that one of the oft maligned attributes of religious communities, especially those in authority in said communities, is this same behavior. Do good things and be open, but also very much protect the brand. As a naive westerner I've hear/learned/assumed that Chinese communism/society was areligious.

When described as you (OP) put it, it seems that abstractly, the Chinese Communist party is just the state religion.

I'm not trying to play a game of whataboutism. I'm curious why these structures seem to rise, regardless of what we intend or call the them. What is it about the human experience that so often results in this.

I apologize if this is overtly stereotypical, naive, assuming, or disrespectful. It wasn't meant to offend or annoy. Just cautiously curious.
I suspect that the CPI is a good measure of how much social unrest an inflationary event is likely to cause in the short term. One may decry the rich getting richer at the expense of everyone else but one is unlikely to start a revolution unless you yourself feel poorer.
For anyone interested, seems like a good overview:

It's definitely one of those cases of "If everyone thought a little more like X, Earth would be a much better place.", (let X=Scott Alexander) -- and notably it becomes quite clear how to think like he does (he just tells you!).
So I'm no in the US so not familiar with your GPA system, but couldn't you just take one more class which you knew you'd do well at to push that over the line?

FWIW, instead of `*buffer = malloc(n * sizeof(*buffer))` you can omit the extra parens and write `*buffer = malloc(n * sizeof *buffer)`

also, calloc is a nice idea too
Yeah news flash. Not everything has to be called a fucking product. Good Lord you MBA types
That is a huge problem for communication. It immediately
makes it much harder to describe things, because you have
to give a much bigger context. It's one big reason why I
detest things like overloading - not only can you not grep
for things, but it makes it much harder to see what a
snippet of code really does.

I think this is a limitation of our using flat text to program in. So long as our primary means of communication is linear speech and flat text, we will have this communications overhead. Collaborative systems that display the context to all concerned can overcome this. In fact, this is already happening! (Exercise for reader.)
I'm sympathetic to the idea of a goal-driven life and higher education as merely a means towards achieving those goals. But the fact of the matter is that goals are hard. Hard to achieve, surely, if ambitious enough, but more importantly, hard to conceive and define. The belief that action shouldn't be taken until a goal for that action is defined can be overwhelming and petrifying. Moving to an environment where many smart people are thinking about many hard problems can certainly be a worthwhile step towards the definition of goals, and should not be self-limited to people who already know what they want to be when they grow up.

If we don't like parts of the deal as it stands and they altered one of those parts for the better, do we really want to pray that they don't alter it further? Witty quote and all, but it seems out of place here.
It is funny how a very simple and innocent looking question by "newbie" started a big discussion. It is like watching somebody drop a candle in a bed.

Can you use C++ in Linux kernel?
In windows kernel you can, with some restrictions.
There's not much "Linus vs C++" in there (except for several random bashes with nothing to back them up). It's mostly Linus sharing his POV as the maintainer of the kernel as to why C++ would be harder to work with in a project that has many contributors due to code being more context dependent (i.e member functions, function overloading).
Hello everyone.

In my free time I'm working on a C++/OpenGL remake of a game called "Spelunky Classic" for PSP (it's homebrew, no affiliation with original author).

https://github.com/dbeef/spelunky-psp/

Its CMake-based build system is designed around the idea that it should be possible to cross-compile it for every device that supports rudimentary, fixed-pipeline OpenGL standard.
I already run it on devices such as PSP-1000 (obviously), Raspberry Pi 3, Orange PI, generic Windows/Linux and Samsung Note 3.

However, some time ago a friend from work lent me a device called PocketGo - it has 32 MB of RAM, 32 bit ARM processor @533MHz, but what's most important - no GPU whatsoever.

Here's the story of how I (partially) succeeded to ran my project on this device, featuring historical background of OpenGL on Linux, X-less rendering, software-accelerated OpenGL based on Mesa and Linux framebuffer devices.

The video is rather lengthy, but I split it into paragraphs for convenience.

I'm curious on your opinion.
iMessage only relies on SMS for sending messages to people not using iMessage, and it's rather clear on when it sends messages as SMS instead of iMessage, as the recipient becomes green (before sending) if the message will be sent as SMS.

Just like WA/Signal/Whatever, iMessage requires all recipients to use the service, and it just offers the option to send a message as a SMS message in case the recipient is not on iMessage.
The most American thing ever.
I remember the "golden age" of chip makers in the 80s giving a bookshelf of datasheets to every engineer who asked. (At the time, if you mailed a circuit design to an inside rep, he would also mail you all the chips for free to build it, regardless of price.)

Since then, some mfgs. have been restricting datasheets to avoid potential patent litigation.

This might be the case here. Possibly another example of death by a thousand cuts as our society gets more regimented.

With the introduction of modules in C++20 there is now an intriguing possibility of implementing a new/cleaned-up language with compatible object model/ABI and using modules to interface with existing C++ and even C (via header units).
It depends -

Firstly you need to make sure that the degree being offered is of quality. how do you figure that out ? The simplest model is just to just google the lecturers. See if they are from a top tier university.

The idea of going to university gets a really bad rep in HN but getting a degree is a lot like learning how to walk. Sure you will not create anything of substantial value for 4 years. But a degree gives you a structure that helps organize your knowledge and gives you a deep intuition that will allow you to actually create great products at the end of the road.
You're getting 3k-15k visits/month currently? I would encourage you not to kill it off. The design could use some revision, but if you have the users, keep them. Any idea how many of your users come back on a regular basis (weekly/monthly)? You have a good opportunity here.

Let people sign in with Twitter as well as Facebook (which you have already). Encourage users to share the votes on FB, Twitter, etc (and make it easy for them to do so). Maybe have a weekly 'Featured Vote' or something. There are a lot of possibilities with a tool like this, it just needs some guidance. Giving people a way to "be heard" on issues that they care about is valuable.
Two things:

1) I hope they considered the equity equation- http://www.paulgraham.com/equity.html

2) The old VC joke - "Equity is like manure. If you hoard it up in one spot, all you have is a big pile of ___. But if you spread it around, all kinds of beautiful things can grow."

100% ownership isn't everything. Bill Gates became ridiculously wealthy while owning between ~43% and ~10% of Microsoft shares (adjusted over the years.)

CodeIgniter is really not that nice. Maybe it seems cool for the uninitiated, but it is just a PHP clone of Rails. CI and kin can't hold a candle because the expressive power of Rails doesn't come from the framework itself, but from Ruby.

There are a few times when the choice between one language over another is more of a pragmatic issue rather than one of taste, and Ruby's ease in creating DSLs (and hence, Rails) is a perfect example.

As TFA mentioned, Ramsus Lerdorf has the right idea. PHP is a templating language. Contorting it into a general purpose language and squeezing a Web framework out of that is unpleasant when there are so many nicer alternatives available. I almost feel bad for Rasmus; people are using his language, taking it beyond its intended scope, and giving it a bad name for that.
I think Aristotle Onassis' theory is a bit more accurate:

“If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning.”

Furthermore, the best approximation to human behaviour I know is that human beings will do whatever it takes to maximise ... not their wealth, not their freedom, but... their status.

For nice middle-class me, going to prison for drug dealing would be a huge step down in my status. For some kid in the ghetto, though, it could easily be the opposite.
This is basically stealing bandwidth from sites like bit.ly, getting them to host your webpages for you.

There might be legitimate uses for this, right now I can't think of one. Clever hack though.

I assume hashify.me stores the value associated with the hash.

I guess for this to work well. Dont you need Hashify to provider a service where you pass in hashcode and it returns the HTML to you.

You just wrap the call with good old JSONP and you are good to go.
Hi, one of the devs here! You're correct, PencilCase: Player can evaluate JavaScript using the JavaScriptCore framework included on the device. The App Store already has a lot of apps available that allow exactly this or other very similar options (Python, Lua, etc.) and we look forward to seeing how people take advantage of this ability.

If I were you. I'd go and apply and start searching immediately for another team mate.

Ask yourself. What's the worse that can happen?

I have no xp with y combinator or all of its criteria but a lot of people view one founder as a weakness (this can also bleed over with angel investors too from what I hear). Fortunately you have the tech side. If you want another founder then start searching. If you want a business side person it shouldn't be too hard.

I personally have started as a single cofounder and raised money by the users. Its not nearly as fun but it's doable. If you believe in it i wouldn't let anyone stop me.

My 2 cents.

Here's a list of CRUD+ apps that I keep open in textmate to consult as examples:

I suck at formatting here; apologies in advance.

Alex Young's NodePad (from daily.js) (more than a simple CRUD app but helpful nonetheless)

https://github.com/alexyoung/nodepad

Individual Node + Express examples by TJ (as mentioned in another post)

https://github.com/visionmedia/express/tree/master/examples

Another basic Node+Express example (by TJ again)

https://github.com/visionmedia/finance

Guillermo posted a CRUD with Express + Mongoose a few days ago

https://github.com/guille/mongoose-meetup-04-05/

There's another VERY simple CRUD app somewhere in the Mongoose Google group as a zipfile(yes, this uses Mongoose as well obviously). I can't seem to find it right now, but I think Siegfried Ehret was the original poster. Email me if you'd like me to send it to you.

Also try nodetuts.com. Pedro's stuff helped me when I started learning a few months ago. Some of his stuff might be out-of-date but it will still help you conceptually (and not all of it is by any means). Some out-of-dateness will just be making simple code changes (like upgrading Express).

Hope this helps!
>1. If the old-school stats work, why use NN/ML? Instead sample the big data and use a classical statistical model. [...] I had hoped that the new tech could do the work faster or see a pattern faster or see something that was invisible to classical stat.

That's just not these things work. Even if you had large amounts of data (which you don't), you still lack a good problem statement that neural networks can be trained towards, great test sets for these scenarios that impact human lifes, and a model that is explainable / interpretable. Otherwise you quite literally put human lifes on the line hoping your model learned something appropriate instead of using something proven and reliable instead.

Modern machine learning techniques have their place and I'm sure in the aftermath of this crisis we will hear a lot of stories where people put it to good use but it's not a case of "throw ML at it, ???, get vaccine".

> 2. In the medical science field I see lots of self-promotion

You'll find self promotion in any field, that does not really diminish the work people are doing overall.

> That is creativity!

There is a clear difference between desperate medical professionals taking a risk and misguided efforts to throw random tech at a problem without understanding it. The former might be considered creative, the latter just adds noise without helping anything.

> My bet is that a solution will come out of left field, will be initially opposed by medical science and ultimately absorbed by the same.

That's fine and I get that you might be disappointed in the status quo but there is just no reasonable assumption that deep learning will provide some left field miracle here. That's grasping at straws while people are actually trying to help. As for your last comment, I'm still hoping that we collectively learn something from this crisis.
Living in Germany with a neighbor working in intensive care on COVID-19 patients: Germany was one of the first nations to come up with a test and usually, the lab they're working with has a 4h turnaround time, but the backlog is currently 3 days. As said, results vary widely depending on where you are, but on average, Germany's still testing more people here than most other nations other than maybe China or South Korea. I suspect that's the main reason behind the huge discrepancies of deaths per case in Germany vs. South Europe: Germany may not be particularly thorough, but the number of unreported cases is certain to be higher almost anywhere else. Especially the US will have a really rough wakeup call.

So much for what they announce as unusual:

10.26.10 "NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has observed an unusual galaxy cluster that contains a bright core of relatively cool gas surrounding a quasar called 3C 186. This is the most distant such object yet observed, and could provide insight into the triggering of quasars and the growth of galaxy clusters."

I think it's important to distinguish between poor product decisions and poor software engineering. Vista and 8 were both transitional chimeras where a new idea had been introduced but the consequences not fully worked out, nor had the rewrite completed by the time the software had to ship.

Even in the 90s Microsoft were known for developer evangelism - Code Complete was the book people touted all the time.
Why can't they use better tech to make the images less objectionable without compromising security?
Well, colour me impressed. The dude's in high school and finds stuff like this? Hopefully it won't get to his head, we've got enough "rock star" devs :)
Wow. I'm genuinely curious as to why.
I'm not saying that employees are always exempt from responsibility, but your brute-force approach is tyrannical, scary... Just imagine what all other employees would think if such an action would be possible, everyone would be afraid to do his job, everything would collapse.

I guess I should have been more clear. From my post, I'm looking for "someone extraordinarily entrepreneurial to be in the founding team of a company, with equity and responsibilities to match."

I am fully prepared to give a way a very large chunk of my company. Will it be 50%? I don't know. I've invested a lot into this, and other people have some equity now too. But I 100% understand the value of a tech co-founder, and am not looking to be stingy with equity. I know I can't make it succeed on my own.
I can't think of a better way of utilizing spare GPU power. It's important to predict our zombie doom to give us time to prepare.

i agree, if you're trying to put out an MVP you have to know when to something is good enough and to just put it out there. i'm not advocating that you sacrifice a deadline or goal for perfection (if that's even possible)

i was speaking more to the attitude of the article. it's not so much what percentage will notice, but a designer's motivations for doing so. the best designers i know have this attention to detail, almost to a fault, and it shows in their work. do they still get things out on time and know when to cut corners? of course. but it's precisely that attention to detail that pushes them to improve.

sorry that was really longwinded, but imo, guys that embrace the attitude of that author tend to have a skewed sense of what is "adequate", anyway. he could have better proved made his point by showing the tradeoffs vs. this blanket, designers suck stance.
