Do you think of stream programming as a kind of dataflow programming? If not, what's the difference?

I suppose "dataflow" is an overloaded term, and the fact that its various meanings have quite a bit in common doesn't help.

It sounds like you're replacing grant writing with a win the government research funding for life lottery which obviously an improvement. That said, there is some of that in the national labs although they need to worry about program funding like everywhere else. (Though military programs in particular are pretty secure.)
Well, this article is about the writer. But maybe I was unclear — by “true position” I don’t necessarily mean the feelings of the writer, but the thrust of their argument. You said that there is pressure to continuously restate the obvious; my point is that to a lot of people, it’s not actually obvious at all.
Who knows. There are so many algorithms and people at play in the decisions to ban things on large platforms that most people that work at the organization itself won't even be able to tell you who or what, specifically, was responsible.

That's why this gets posted to HN with hope that enough relevant people will notice such that remediation has a real chance of occurring, because with a normal 'appeal' your chances are basically nil regardless of how incorrect the ban was.
Vegetable oil is the big thing to avoid. I don't know if anyone is being paid off.
This assumes that active noise cancellation doesn't introduce energy in audible parts of the pressure spectrum.
The question is if Reddit has gotten less extreme since banning them
A car a luxury item? In suburban America? Wish it were so, so I could get rid of the polluting money-sink!

Near where I live, the advertisements on the bus stops say "USD 500 and you ride!" because a functional car means access to work opportunities, i.e. money.
I would say that an API's usefulness is the complexity it hides divided by the complexity of its interface.
Short answer: no real security issues. AWS itself runs everything from credit card processors to hospital software, they have great documentation on how to design your system so that you comply with the major certifications like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and FedRAMP:
http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/
http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/fedramp-faqs/

Our security audit was apparently the first one in years to pass with no "high findings" (high-priority security issues that must be fixed before the system is approved to go live).

The main barrier we ran into was that although AWS was already FedRAMP-certified, it had not gone through CMS's own internal security review process, which requires hundreds of pages of additional documentation and an audit of the code, team, and penetration testing of the live system. At the end of that process, you get an Authority to Operate, or ATO, and that's what every site in the government legally must have in order to launch.

You can get a sense of how much paperwork is involved here:
http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/CMS-...

Navigating this ATO process was the single largest roadblock in developing the various parts of healthcare.gov 2.0. It meant that what we expected to take two months ended up taking more like eight.

The good news is that once we had gotten an ATO for AWS [1], any project within CMS--not just healthcare.gov--could start using AWS. [2] And within weeks of the ATO, we started hearing about other groups building their new projects on AWS, including Accenture, who's now the primary healthcare.gov contractor.

And that also means that if a startup wants to work with CMS, rather than the typical set of DC contractors, now they can use AWS too and have one fewer barrier keeping them out of the system.

[1] as a small technical point, we split the ATO into "infrastructure" and "application" portions so that the infrastructure (AWS) portion could be reused.

[2] If you're wondering why it matters that the government can use AWS, it's because most data centers that cater to the government are really terrible. In the initial data center used for healthcare.gov, the way you provisioned a new server was to send a word document to a sales representative, listing the unix packages you want installed, and then a few weeks later they would give you a virtual machine which may or may not have what you asked for. You can't be agile at all in that type of environment, and you certainly can't do DevOps well because you can't script anything.
The irony of this statement

"At Ticketmatic, we promise that anything you can do through the user interface is also available via the API."

in the context of the article is amusing. Going to the website, I find no mention of an API anywhere. I can only guess that it's API documentation hidden behind a login. This is the worst kind of API documentation. I've dealt with APIs like this far too often to find it friendly. In every case, it's been frustration.

Regardless, while the platitude is agreeable, this is literally an article that says nothing more than what fit into a tweet.

That's correct, unless the object is autoreleased, in which case the system will get around to deallocating it after the current run loop iterates (provided you're using the default autorelease pool).
> It's well-known that China is very serious about IPs.

> Chinese government has been very open about the plan to enforce IP laws gradually to the same standard as the global market.

IMHO, these two statements contradict themselves.
Pros: At this point in my life, the main benefit would be with women. Black guy, white girl poses little problem, while white guy, black girl is difficult [1]. Honestly, this dwarfs everything else.

Affirmative action might have been helpful when I was in school, though it's probably irrelevant to my life now.

Most ethnic groups besides whites have secret networks unavailable to white guys. Their quality tends to be lower than more focused networks (random HN reader or random lisp user > random black guy), but they are still useful.

In the future, the prospect of selling to government under the WOB and MOB (woman/minority owned business) quotas might be useful, though I doubt I'll actually get into that sort of business.

Cons: Racial profiling. Since I rarely shop or drive, this isn't much of an issue for me.

More difficult to live in the still-racist parts of the country. Even as a white guy, I'd like to avoid them.

The main reason I answer so readily is that being white isn't a significant part of my identity. So it would take only a very minor perk to make me change.

[1] This only applies to black American women, African women don't seem to have any real problem with white guys.

[edit: genuinely curious why I'm being downmodded.]
Ha, that's awesome.

I'll keep that in mind the next time something like this is pitched.
Might be good to include some example usages?

I created one http://sitekite.com/foshizzle-daZeYw but I'm not creative enough to think of clever uses.
I'm bothered by people who prioritize synchronous communication over asynchronous. On a recent project, I worked with someone who was remote. Every time I sent an e-mail, he picked up the telephone. Then he took a long time to get to the point, and couldn't ever seem to disengage cleanly.

Open floor plans would probably work great for people like that. I prefer to not be pre-empted from my current task, and to have a written record of the things you wanted to tell me, so I can refer to it later. Face-to-face conversations are fine if I'm not already doing something else, but don't force me into one just because you're doing your "manager walk" or can't be arsed to have a specific agenda for the conversation.

If I have a door, I can hang a "do not disturb" sign on it, and lo, I am not disturbed. Otherwise, it may just be closed because the compressor from the fridge in the break area bothers me. I don't mind interruptions, provided they are more important than what I am currently doing, but it seems like open plans lower the threshold for interruption. Some people see that as also lowering the threshold for collaboration. But there are ways to design a space to encourage one without also encouraging the other.
> it's way more productive to have my coauthors right next to me.

I think that principle is true in most enterprises: it helps to be in the same room with the people you work directly with.

Having people you do not work with (and especially their conversations) in the same room is, as far as I can see, always harmful.
For me, this might be the killer feature: http://atom.io/packages/vim-mode
> The ships would be 5 percent lighter before loading cargo and would burn 12 percent to 15 percent less fuel, he said.

And what's to say the amount of cargo carried wouldn't simply be increased by 5 percent or so, offsetting any gains?
The US can't take military action in Hong Kong, because its handover to China was completely legal. You can thank the British for their short-sightnedness on this one, but nothing the rest of the world can do, at least overtly. I see this fact repeatedly forgotten or overlooked in the brewhaha over HK.
To me, one of those doesn't fit with the others.
Traditionally companies like Sears, Target and Walmart had buying agents that reviewed products. Imagine man whose job is to review curling irons and blow driers.

Those guys acted as gate keepers that determined which products got shelf space. It's harder to game that because if you're a buying agent taking kickbacks you tend to go to jail.
In addition to the fact that they're not a US company, selling exploits doesn't actually violate CFAA.

Google could potentially sue them under civil CFAA if there was some unauthorized access to Google infrastructure needed to develop the exploits, but that's unlikely to be the case.

Using NSO tools against unwilling targets would violate US law, but that's not what NSO does.
Netflix has been trying to introduce interactive content to their platform for years. The latest attempt is Minecraft: Story Mode [0]. Netflix's architecture is designed around streaming static video files, on platforms without great latency guarantees. There can be gaps of up to a second when loading the next video file. Interactive UI and choicepoints are quite limited.

Streaming live and streaming offline media require very different infrastructure.

@gus_massa, thanks for your questions.

Due to we are just beginning, at first we would focus on the passenger car. The customer only provides the car year, make and model, and then we can follow his design to manufacture the carbon-fiber suit.

About the commercial vehicle(truck and bus), we will observe their market demand and maybe add this item in the future.

Recently we will add more images to the website, thank you.
> its commitment to an entirely USB-C lifestyle was premature

For me, going all-in on USB C is one of the best features of the 2016 model in terms of flexibility: any port can be a power, video, network, or USB port. Bad keyboard (butterfly) and trackpad (broken palm rejection) and virtual ESC key, not so much.
I'd guess it's just using the value of the instruction pointer at each point it samples, and the way to resolve the function from that is to look backwards to find the symbol of the function it's in. As he has no symbols Luke has no (easy) way of knowing where functions start so it can't do this lookup.
A few years back, I caught a security consultant from Thales pushing his credentials on GitHub as he was working on what seemed to be a personal project during office hours and trying to get throught the corporate proxy... Considering Thales creates the most sensitive system, I completely lost trust in companies who claim to make secure products
I don't need to take the test to know which box I'm in. But I do need other people to take it, to know which box they fit in. Is this really hard to understand?

> Do you take the time to understand everyone you meet, their motivations, their goals, and their challenges? Even the ones who don't want you to?

To the degree our relationship warrants. Don't you? We all form mental models of the people we interact with over time. I don't see how the MBTI helps that process. As mentioned, for some people who have interacted with me, it has hindered that process by establishing a totem to which I am compared.

Is the argument that MBTI is useful when interacting with people you don't spend time with, who have a brief and transient presence in your life? Or is it more akin to birdwatching? I don't see either of those options as especially useful, but I won't fault anybody for it.
> In 2008 an app charging $1,000 that told people you were rich was censored.

That’s not censorship. It’s protecting customers from being duped into buying something they don’t understand and getting ripped off.

TFA quotes an app review where someone felt scammed. The dev is quoted as saying he didn’t want people to buy it by accident and then feel cheated:

> "I don't want to collect money from people who did this by accident and I am glad that Apple returned the money for two orders," Heinrich said.

It sounds like he had good intent, was following the rules. It still wasn’t a good app to be in the App Store.
More practically, if you get caught then your kid probably gets banned from the league. This might be pretty hard to explain to a younger child in terms that would make them appreciate that you're doing it for the right reasons.

I can confirm I have noticed this so many times and decided to keep the Zoom app closed while not in a meeting.
Five years design lifespan before deorbit.
We could also set the speed limit to 5mph and limit cars to 10hp. That would save a lot of lives. The reason we don't is because some deaths are worth the cost.

>If entities want to innovate, let them innovate within safety parameters.

Sure, but the safety parameters have already been established[0] at 40,000 deaths a year, or less, for transportation equivalently convenient and functional as compared to a manually-driven car.

[0]By the crowd-sourced wisdom of democracy.
I don’t think it is safe.

I just don’t have data showing it’s terrible.
I'm very happy with the Logitech StreamCam. 4K (Brio) is a waste since no video conference software supports that resolution.
It blows my mind that the US doesn't have any power-to-weight ratios for new drivers.

In Australia until you were off your probationary license (which was a minimum of three years after your learners permit, which was either 1 or 2 years, it's been a while), there were power-to-weight restrictions on the vehicles you were allowed to drive.

Here? Saw a YouTube video of a seventeen year old doing his driver's license test in a 1500hp Bugatti. That'll end well, no doubt.
40 satellites out of 49 launched by the rocket. Pretty heavy losses, but it's interesting that nearly 20% were spared, even though, or because, they fly in formation.
Thanks for your work on this. Coming back to python from golang, I really missed the auto-formatting. black plus something like ssort seems to bring the same to python. I've had really good results with black so far and look forward to trying ssort.
The cost breakdown:

40 x $250k = $10m
1 falcon9 launch = $30m

It's astonishing that financially minded people, used to doing due diligence for potential investments in their day jobs, would trust a company with their own personal money without digging into its founder's backstory!
I'm agnostic about the whole matter, but I would guess the question is whether they have the same definition of "good evidence" that I have. I suspect their threshold is much lower than mine. Without seeing any of the evidence, it's hard to judge. For all we know it's essentially the same evidence (Korean character set, etc) that many people didn't find compelling when the story first broke.
The basic background problem is that in the "normal" case, HSTS is a security and privacy protection rather than a tracking mechanism. That's why one would typically want it to persist as much as possible. But it has the potential for tracking effects too (as this project demonstrates). I guess the current browser behavior is indeed an attempt to project user intentions based on that.
Fantastic "before" and "after" recordings!

Someone needs to make an iPhone app that takes the mic input, runs it through an equalizer, then feeds it back to some snug headphones. I'd wear that in the pub while watching a match (and look silly).

> In C, Pascal, COBOL, you have "objects"....you just don't have any methods attached to them.

When I encoded my own objects in C, I definitely had v-tables (though I didn't know they were called that at the time).

> I'd argue that methods and data don't belong together (like in CLOS), but don't have the inclination to argue it right now.

It is difficult not to put behavior and data together while still having encapsulation (it is still possible). It makes much more sense for functional programming since values lack identities (they are completely defined by their structure), but objects have state that need to be protected for sanity reasons.

That's a lot easier said than done. Unless you use ulimit to strictly enforce process memory limits (tricky) it's nearly impossible to know the how much memory a large complicated program (like MySQL) will allocate.
I haven't used CherryPy, but run Cherokee+uWSGI for Django and uWSGI is fast, handles load well, and has a very small memory footprint.
I know I should get outraged and amused by this incompetence, but this is just sad.

The NYT company invested in Auttomatic (Wordpress makers; see http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/business/media/23nytimes.h... ) and they got FiveThirtyEight, a blog, under their wing. Clearly they're thinking about what's next in media and experimenting, and then they turn around and do this mindless move. This kind of confusion makes me sad because it's a sign there is still a lot of inertia against their necessary evolution.
In the Android world, EVO or Droid Incredible are basically the state of the art.
Heh, we may know each other. I also developed code on the T3D and T3E. I figure can't be too many people in the world that developed for both. I still have the big gray Cray binders with the documentation laying around somewhere.

Not in any order:

Learn to do more than just write software. In fact, learning how to minimize source code is a good start (really source code is bad like crossing streams bad).

Learn how to read and leverage off of existing, hopefully open source, resources.

Learn how to design away problems instead of coding a solution for them.

Learn to keep things simple.

Learn to design/mockup and get feedback (UX, etc.) on your solutions before coding them.

Did I mention the try not to write code part?
Possible answer: Promotion for the merchandise. The promoters get tons of videos and commentary floating around talking about their products. As for the site making any kind of money, maybe in direct advertising for page views relating to the promoter.

The more 'ads' of people begging, the more it seems like people really really want the product and the more funny / entertaining it is the more views it will gets further reinforcing the popularity of the product... well, that's how I'd do it. I can't imagine more than a few weeks of lots of cold calls to get tracking with a few companies that have plenty of product to use for promotion to kick things off.
Adapting nodejs for windows probably means less required work if it is done now rather than later.
