Toughbyte | Full-time | REMOTE | https://www.toughbyte.com

At Toughbyte, we're building a tech recruitment platform that helps developers find their ideal job. We're bootstrapped, profitable and growing with the biggest startups in Europe such as TransferWise as our clients.

We're now looking for multiple Russian speaking Ruby developers to join our team of over forty people. No prior work experience required. For more info and to apply go to http://tbyte.co/hn

PS. even if you aren't into Ruby and don't know Russian, we may have some other positions for you, so check out our site above
The article needs proofreading...
mostly the problems with utilizing the system completely are the same ones a common programmer faces when trying to use GPUs for general purpose programming, the problem of transferring the data to be handled from the main memory to the GPU's memory. Though Tianhe-1A has a very high peak performance, the sustained performance seems to be comparatively low !
So? How is this different from any other person posting their creation here? Both the illustrations and story are great. Thanks for posting.
Also:

* Apple 'Spotlight' vs. LaunchBar/Butler (don't remember of QuickSilver existed at the time, but it's largely surpassed Spotlight's functionality)

* Apple 'Dashboard' vs. Confabulator (aka Yahoo! Widgets)
Who keeps the world by the tail for longer than that? One or two companies a decade?
The Yes Men are about more fundamental issues than some measly symptom of globalisation happening to the people who benefit the most from it.
I still don't understand. What makes the XML version better than the JSON version? Why is creating XML like that a good solution, while creating JSON like that is not?
> And the obvious answer is that for some jobs it is, and for some jobs it isn't.

The net utility is an effective metric for deciding to work remotely in any context. Clearly this decision is not made at the level of humanity and will have to be evaluated in narrower contexts.

> But in the absence of any hard-data, my gut strongly tells me that working from home is a net negative for most jobs and most people. My team has gone back to the office now and our ability to get stuff done is just rocketing.

But as you say, this is a gut feeling. My gut says my team is more effective remote.
If you want me to ride my bike more on the street I need physical barriers between me and the people who happen to be driving a car while texting, tweeting, snapping selfies, napping, etc.
Jacket might be ok for small rain, but for heavy rain and thunderstorm? No.

Employers expect employees to come to work every business day, and people expect business to open every business day, even under heavy rain and thunderstorm.

Watch! Heavy rain/wind! Most people can't go to work! Most businesses are closed! Teachers can't go to schools! Nurses can't go to clinics and hospitals! What a ridiculous picture of a modern city.

New proposal: this city only allows residents who are 20s/30s years old and healthy and fit.
Context: Apparently some users were hosting pro-IS content on these sites [1]

This smacks of incompetence and idiocy. It is clear that a lot of people in the government do not understand how the internet works, and what these sites do. (They probably do not understand that these sites contain user generated content)

Some of them could be Modpack servers. There are only certain versions with support for most mods (1.12.2, 1.7.10, sometimes 1.10). Many of the more established modpacks still run on 1.7.10 or even older
I don't really understand why every single article on CRDTs is about collaborative text editing. Is no one else bothering to build systems with CRDTs outside of this space?

Not to detract from the article, which I found interesting for a number of reasons - both in terms of the technology and future of that technology as well as the personal realization of "the thing I'm building won't be necessary one day".
Just say 'we sent a mail to ' whatever address they entered. If it's incorrectly typed, the user can see it then and try again.
Hi, my apologies if it isn't clear.

Another way to look at it is with a dice roll analogy. Every time you roll a dice, the odds to get a certain number is 1/6. The next roll the odds is the same, regardless of how many times you rolled the dice before. That is what the first graph is supposed to illustrate.

To get successive throw's of a certain number, that is a different question, and indeed is why you calculate the cumulative probability density function, or graph. And that is indeed the 4th graph.

Any suggestions on how I can make it clearer or more intuitive, or indeed if I have made a mistake?
I love this idea, but it feels like lots of the other improvements to the Email system. SPF was introduced in 2003, DomainKeys in 2007, DKIM in 2008, DMARC 2011; all of these things rely on DNS which for some reason makes it hard to implement. DNSSEC most recently has been gaining traction, but languishes at 12% [1].
These things are hard to implement from an operations point of view for existing systems, but many of the domain names out there are not owned by people with an operations team and do not understand how they could reduce their Spam and increase their security.

In order for us to use something like DIME/DMTP we need to find a way to better integrate our DNS and Email infrastructure binding them together. If we can ensure that when a Domain name is registered it is mandatory to provide these additional DKIM/SPF/DIME records then we can make progress. But better still a way to keep these records up to date when we can providers.

As a fellow Carmack fanboy, trust that he knows what he is doing. Mobile will be very important as will the PC for some similar and some dissimilar reasons. Imagine how freeing it will be to be in VR standing up or in a lazy boy and be able to use an immersive environment. There are already a lot of battery packs for cell phones with 3 times the capacity of a normal battery too.

So basically both are important and Occulus has the resources to not have to make a choice about working on one or the other.
Anecdotally this seems to happen mostly from personal experiments, not from development of open source software meant to be consumed by others. Secrets generally are included in projects that are meant to be deployed (like a rails app, or a blog, or ...), not in thelibraries/gems/modules that make up the bulk of open source found on Github.
Are there any Windows versions of this?
The founders were true to these values and IMO did not just "act like a saint"
They do makes lot of money from user data. App Store ads are driven by what your activity. Traffic data for Apple Maps comes from your phone. Spying on competition by knowing what apps are installed, that helps them drive their products. Etc.

They have different data policy for sure than google or Facebook, but they do get your data, and they use it to make more money.
That escalated. I started with a few power cords for the Roomba and now I never leave home without a laser, net and leaf blower.
Nice,
Thanks for responding, let me know if you are looking to hire on short term contract
Moving a few close friends to another app is easy. Moving acquaintances, people you just met, businesses, organizations, etc. is another thing entirely.
It didn't need to be. It was justified and encouraged and enabled by nearly every major corporation, media company, and high-ranking official.

Ever tried grepping for an overloaded "+" in C++?
I'm coming from the perspective of the iPad is right in front of my face when I'm typing and how can I not look at the iPad when using it?

Apple took advantage of the iPhone to rearrange some parts of the keyboard. Ross is taking advantage of the larger key size on the iPad to do the same and (as far as I can tell) to scale back from having to memorize three different keyboards (thats not including the non-standard-but-still-available Email, URL, etc keyboard).

And honestly? It sounds like you don't want to have to learn something new again. Which is fine. But it doesn't make Ross's keyboard bad in any way, like you're claiming.
Let t -> 1 which you can do because this entire trick is about interchanging limits (since both an integral and a derivative are limits)

"Democrats, liberals, Americans under the age of 50 and those who score low on the racial resentment scale are all far more likely than Republicans, conservatives, Americans older than age 50, and those scoring high in racial resentment to think that Blacks are treated less fairly than whites by the police."
Office came out in 1990 and took a while to take over. MS-DOS wasn't as profitable as Windows would be.
Surely you're joking.. he talked about experimenting with LSD, marijuana, ketamine, and sensory deprivation tanks. After becoming a heavy drinker he said he eventually gave up alcohol because he didn't want to damage his brain.
"Secondly, another big client of the company, the operators, unanimously voted for a partnership with Microsoft as this will bring a third contender to the marketplace."

That sentence stood out the most from that article. For Nokia to say they choose this partnership because the operators want another choice seems insane to me. Basically I am interpreting that to mean the operators want more platforms to help give them leverage when negotiating with phone manufactures. Which could potential hurt Nokia in the future too.

Am I reading to much into this, or does Nokia's logic there strike anyone else as funny too?
I really like it. Especially that with each suggestion it tells you whether or not it is available.

The hardest thing I had with the site was when there were a lot of suggestions I had a lot of trouble reading through all of them, kind of like the words all ended up running together. It might just be me though.

My wife has been looking for a domain name for a while now, and we've already found a couple possibilities because of this.

As a future feature suggestion for the domain spinner -- At some point it would be really cool if you could find a way to choose a domain name that you kind of like, choose it and only show ones that are similar to it. This would be especially good when combining with adjectives. Some may be looking for more cheerful or positive adjectives while others may be looking for powerful or possibly negative ones.
"Do you think Apple's walled approach to iOS apps and content on iOS platforms is more honorable than Microsoft's open development initiative? (i.e. letting anyone write Windows applications)."

I can make an OS X application and market it, distribute it in any way I wish. I can even use Apple's IDE, libraries, and compiler tools.

Why are you comparing that to the device OS (which by the way, Microsoft also implements a similarly restricted approach for in their Windows Phone Marketplace).
I don't chew gum and I don't smoke (I'm also not one of these anti-smoking dipshits), but it seems obvious to me that you're not just going to put gum or fag butts in your pocket until the next bin/whatever. It just isn't the same as sticking a Mars bar wrapper in a pocket. Not if you like your hands in your pockets.
The entire point of Copyleft was to exploit copyright against itself.

Would a stoic be happy or sad that stoic philosophy didn't work for him?
To put it another way, I question if any startup should be using OpenStack today if OpenStack does not immediately solve the needs that startup expects to solve in the future. That's especially true for DIY. I'm speaking as consumers of OpenStack, of course, not for companies building value on it.

If OpenStack doesn't solve the startup's future needs right now, the startup's future need will come sooner than the features needed in OpenStack. Contributing upstream will have too great an opportunity cost. The only legitimate options for such companies are not to use OpenStack or maintain their own fork.

Right now, at the rate of innovation and improvement currently in OpenStack and the processes necessary for participating in the community, I'd argue that if a startup consuming OpenStack has resources to dedicate toward upstream development and baby-sitting that process, that they're either A) Not a startup, or B) a failing startup.
I am curious to hear a little more. In many senses, worry/anxiety is endemic to humans. 'What will I eat/drink to survive?' at the most basic level if you look at how we as creatures have come about. Since these needs are largely fulfilled in modern society these questions get much more idiosyncratic; that is, they are suited uniquely to our individual situations so it's hard to proceed without knowing a little more about what drives some of your feelings of anxiety.
I would be interested in what you think is missing from Opaleye. Of course there is plenty of Postgres functionality that hasn't been ported across yet, but I'm wondering what you think is missing conceptually.
Not sure I understand the point of your link. Chrome has more than twice the number of vulnerabilities in a smaller timespan, while IE has more exploits than Chrome.

> Also: basic income, or whatever it is that will make sense when there aren't enough jobs to go around, won't be preemptive.

Seems like this is really his point, if it isn't going to be preemptive, then (he feels) we should stop the jobs from going away.
Actually, we are talking about both. YC and PG are very strongly pro "everyone in the same office", so it's not that those workers could come to US and then live in Maine. No, they will come to US and live in SF or NYC areas.
Russia didn't work out for these guys either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-Term_Capital_Management
Semantics perhaps, but the phrasing was particularly off-putting in this article. I know it was the first thing I noticed. I don't think I'd want to work for Chris Dixon.
On the other hand, if they didn't put in a lot of effort to prevent the stupidest form of counterfeiting, then the stupidest form of counterfeiting would be the real problem.
that sometimes / kinda works for me, but it seems my semi-conscious mind is a crafty devil, and manages to stay mostly-unconscious through even somewhat complicated tasks.

There's also some past health problems I've had which sometimes leaves me really light-headed when I stand up in the morning, so my options upon hitting the alarm are to lose vision and nearly pass out, or hurry to lay back down.

Also, keep in mind that due to the strange sleep schedule, 8am classes commonly mean I get less than 5 hours of sleep. Try getting 3-4 hours of sleep per night (or less, if I've had a project) for a week, and see how well you wake up to your alarm clock. Now sleep in on the weekend to try to make up for the deficit, and continue this for a few years. Alarm clocks just don't cut it.
why Bill Gates hand over the reins to Ballmer, I never understood.
On the plus side at least we won't have an empire anymore. That's about the only good thing I see coming from all this.
Calculate a complementary color to the color in the settings :)
Have they compared their algorithm against standard well-known algorithms for the tasks they claim to solve? Last time I checked they still hadn't done that, or at least hadn't reported any such results. Without that, they're not worth anyone's time.
+1 brotherbard's fork is awesome. Gitx is all I need dev a Ruby dev.
There were lots of MMORPGs going that route long before Zynga. Mainly coming from Asia.
Perhaps, but Apple has some extremely friendly replacement policies that I personally have used (busted iBook replaced with a black macbook!) and have heard of others running into. Just the other day there was a reddit thread about this, actually:

http://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/eaqm5/its_this_kinda_...

The points about directing people to their store over other stores and minimizing the secondary market are probably the main reasoning behind offering engraving.
Thanks! I wondered how much it would change HN, just by adding a few features. Then it felt really useful, and I decided to release it.
Didn't Microsoft have a product by that name? :)
The article pointed out that Modista didn't have the funds for a legal battle. That suggests that they also wouldn't have had the funds to file a patent that would almost certainly go to waste, and even if they did, they wouldn't get any value out of it without fighting more of a legal battle (either by suing someone or defending themselves from a lawsuit).

And more to the point, why should you have to file a patent just to get a different patent re-examined? And with as little effort as the patent office puts into examining patents (as evidenced by the patents they grant), why should anyone expect them to find other relevant patents for you?

Patents just provide a tool for stopping a competitor rather than actually competing with them. "Genius is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration. A patent is a tool for doing 5% of the work and then sitting around waiting for someone else to do the other 95% so you can sue them."
It's interesting - the analysts paint these lovely pictures where android (I know this article includes RIM as well) is doing swimmingly, and of course it is doing well overall. But the individual stories of the companies that make up the 'android' slice of the cake are very very different from the story at Apple
That's why I've put <fake> in quotes ;) ... to emphasize that I believe (or hope) that these projects are perfectly real-world and relatively diverse in order to be able to start doing more similar real-world + real-money projects.

My question in regard was basically whether these "fake" personal projects can convince a prospective client that I'm for real. That is, if these personal projects are not on separate domains (like it will be if they were for real clients), wouldn't they look superficial, and yes, fake?
It’s easily possible to provide updates and keep it open source. Google did that in the past just fine with many AOSP apps, and even the android webbrowser parts are updated that way, and still open source.

Google just used it as an excuse to make these parts of the OS proprietary.
If I understand correctly then it will be lithium iron phosphate? If so that seems like the best chemistry in my limited understand. I've got a huge Lifep04 battery I use to run equipment and the cycle, power density, failure mode, etc are all amazing.

They all listened to a cover of the song a few times before singing – since the original John Lennon's 'Imagine' is way slower than one remembers.
Still, the inability to be in sync without listening to each other, the inability to 'be as one' is kind of the point of this exercise.
The link is titled "Switching from WhatsApp".

If you're not interested in switching, then this thread is not for you. A Hacker News poll is not scientific research.
They could have just been doing that to lend it legitimacy ... psyops is something they’re very big into these days
I don’t see how what you are saying has anything to do with what happened yesterday.
Being effectively "on standby" via Slack, sounds terrible. I would suggest telling them that you're available by phone call if there's an emergency.

If you don't value your spare time, they won't feel bad for wasting it...
You haven't addressed any of it, only leveled a bunch of insults. You don't get to pontificate about fragile emotional states.
Love the '70 and '74 ball, also the evolution from '66 to '70 seems huge.

I think that is what happened here.

Google Maps uses, among others, images from the Ikonos satellite. Here are the specs:
http://www.satimagingcorp.com/satellite-sensors/ikonos.html

It has a panchromatic sensor (greyscale) and red, green and blue sensors. Ikonos has a ground speed of 6.8 km per second, so even if the sensors are only a few centimeters apart, the images would need to be recombined at an offset. The offset would be tuned for static ground objects.

So I guess the ghosting is due to both the altitude and the speed of the airplane relative to the ground.
just 80 years too old..
Having the benefit of hindsight in looking at outside interventions elsewhere (Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan etc ) I think that maybe the best thing would be for all other countries (including China) to stop interfering in North korea. It's not possible of course
Why do you say the fact that you always doubt your ideas and potential is a problem? This is really a good thing, ask yourself a few times every day if you are going in the right direction, and most likely by answering honestly and adjusting your route on your way there you have a bigger chance to complete your journey.

You are young and the world doesn't expect from you the knowledge and experience to be confident about anything. There are very few (if any people) who are able to be confident about such things. So just take it easy and believe in yourself.

And based on what I've seen, it's the people with no sufficient knowledge and experience who are usually confident. The more you know, the more things out there for you to consider. So, as I said, believe in yourself and never give up.
What cultural influences are you talking about? Can you give an example? Specifically, what influences that aren't just a parameter within the framework of evolutionary psychology?
Have a look at Ogre3D and XNA.

And all of this while twitch’s “Just Chatting” section is basically Soft Core porn, “hot tub streams” accessible to underage users, exploiting vulnerable, desperate people for insane amount of donations.

Twitch is definitely a slippery slope, especially in distributing soft core porn to underage kids.
We have a bank in South Africa called Capitec, and they were sort of considered a "startup" bank a few years ago, doing things better and more efficient. But they are using COBOL regardless (+ other cloud tech of course as decorations)
> As you can see from the way Parler was shutdown last week — when our imperial oligarchy wants to cancel an app, it can do so instantly and with a vengeance.

I was not under the impression that Parler was shut down by the government, but more by the "cancel crowd". Was it a government operation ?

As for the article, it seems the main arguments are that :

- Signal was financed by Radio Free Asia (US government propaganda operation), at least 3 million.

- If the crypto was effectively unbreakable, it would not be recommended by big companies like FB, Google, etc...

It's interesting and it's always good to be a bit paranoid, but the evidence is a bit thin for me.
I want to see it more often. Go ahead, build cities where every motorized vehicle is illegal. I am all for it. If it is so superior, then people will move to it.
Well when you have something happening in a large pool of people (hundreds of thousands/millions) it's not likely that a trial would catch that, so the next protocol after trials is to follow through on any report of a potential side effect.

So yeah, it's working even if people have died with a direct cause of a vaccine.
