Sounds like someone wants an upgrade to Tinder/Grindr.

march=native turns on all the features for that are available for your processor. So if, for example, you have a processor that supports AVX512 and another that doesn't, you'll get illegal instruction errors as soon as your other machine hits a region code it decided to optimize using those instructions.

You won't get any real useful error messages when this happens since it's so low level. Unless you know to look for this you'll just be scratching your head going, "but it works on my machine?!?"
Money should be more of a carrot and not a stick.
That's not an existing construct, it's a LHS assignment language like the match statement but it's embedded inside a for-loop.

Which means you have to implement all the grammar of the current match and it restricts to only works on iterables.

How would you implement this for an object that isn't iterable?
I recall this making headlines in the 90’s in proximity to airbases in Pennsylvania.

Specifically issues around drinking water for residential housing with wells in proximity to the airbases.
Sounds great but we should be worried about the cobra effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perverse_incentive
the situation with housing operates like an astable multivibrator, as the social bodies charismatic features express fully and demand real change from civic leaders and an end to homeless camps in the form of housing, building to a fever-pitch of bonds passed, reforms enacted, and funding applied.

This all works well until the inevitable transition to action. These once noble creatures then cry foul and refuse the building of any potential settlements as it would decrease their property value. Since the enactment of proposition 13 transformed millions of californians into landed gentry and gilded elite, they are ardently opposed to any change that may in any way impact the hegemony of scarcity, rental profits, and the white dragon of property-as-investment.

Exhausted and vanquished, political leaders coffer the bonds toward rehab progams, expensive rental payments to the landed gentry, and motel rooms to temporarily transfer homeless from street tent to temporary edifice. once funds are depleated, the cycle begins anew.
I read the book and still had no clue what was going on
Not to mention an incredible array of composers from the non-Western world.
Scott Adams should act more like cfinke does and let other people say how amazing and humble he is rather than doing it himself. Yes sir, cfinke truly sets an amazing example to follow.
I spent most of my life being concerned with leaving some sort of immortalizing legacy behind. Some great work or impact on the world that would never be forgotten.

Then I came to the conclusion that I'm a tiny life on a tiny planet in the arm of a huge galaxy in an infinite universe. That the entire planet - to the universe - is no more than a speck of sand is to the entire Earth. That on this planet, celebrities and accomplished scientists and creators will almost all be forgotten in decades; certainly a hundred years. A few will last beyond that. As the span of time grows, only a few names -- maybe Hitler, George Washington, Ramses -- will live on for hundreds of more years. Even thousands. And I'm certainly never going to amount to anything like those guys.

And, when it comes down to it, all of human history has occurred on this tiny blue speck. Even the most monumental achievements and persons won't matter to anyone outside the planet and almost none will matter even to those of our own species who might continue on (assuming we aren't obliterated by some catastrophe and have spread out into the universe).

So, I'm able to recognize that anything I accomplish will only have temporary meaning and that the both the most awesome and hideous legacies of all time will grow to mean nothing. So . . . why worry about my trivial actions? I'm like a bacteria on a counter waiting to be sprayed with Lysol.

And no, that doesn't bum me out.
Oh come on. Scandal? Really? It's a bunch of self-indulgent ppl arguing over semantics. Scott acted like an idiot and the ppl blowing this out of proportion are even bigger idiots.
bit.ly is the only URL shortening service to support cross-origin resource sharing, as far as I'm aware.

The _right_ thing to do would be to build a shortening service designed to handle URLs of arbitrary length. I'm not sure that I'm willing to take on that responsibility, though.
> doesn’t mean it’s wrong to cry foul against racist caricature. It’s still wrong.

Throwing around false accusations of racism is also wrong. Of course, not all accusations are false, but most are these days.

And then there's the whole "cry wolf" thing.
There are only a handful of endings to this... hostage-taking of senators or house representatives, or failing that, occupation of the building.

Considering that the senators and house representatives have been evacuated, the latter is looking more likely.
The stark difference in the response to these "protests" vs the DC BLM protests:

https://twitter.com/RedR1dngHood/status/1346908557560537091
It is despicable how tepid the police response to armed rioters storming the Capitol has been compared to the response to BLM protests over the summer.
Yeah, I know. There was some kid on Twitter who was trying to tell me that it was the solder in an x86 machine (he actually said "a Microsoft computer") that made them slower. Apple, without the solder was much faster.

According to this person's bio they had an undergraduate education in computer science ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Aren't there 2 million lines just for the AMD drivers?
If penalties like this are not enforced against violent attacks that intend to change the results of an election, then America will lose it's democracy.
The Defense Department has just denied a request by DC officials to deploy the National Guard to the US Capitol.
I can never stop at just a handful though
My choice of expression was a bit clumsy.

By "toil" I did not mean a thing without a worth - a thing you find worthwhile is intrinsically valuable. I don't believe you can compute economic value to life experiences.

I would call toil anything that does not enable you to rise to the stage of self-actualization in Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

But like I said my intent was not to present such a non-self actualizing job as bad, quite contrary.
The page won't load for me, and I'm not sure if that's the joke .
Our company has a logo which is roughly circular, so one guy who has a plastic cutter has been selling overlays which make our logo glow on the back of apple laptops. Pretty cool, and very popular. :-)
Tony, I think you're arguing with a strawman. Per the original article, if the CTO is bringing more to the table than you, then you get +5 for being CEO, and they get +5 for idea, and/or +15 for patent, and/or +50 for being so awesome they could get funded without you.

I see people disagree with IronYuppie (I do too - I don't think the CEO job is harder than the CTO job) but I'm not sure why it's getting downvoted.
Even if they aren't served outside that window, not everyone's waking hours are 9-9.
> Mainly because it lacks a full version of office and it lacks Flash.

How is Flash useful in this type of environment? Are they disappointed about video and games?
Agreed. I've upgraded from a free version to paid from within an app (MobileRSS) before, but I'm not an average iOS user.

I think marco's point about the free version creating a "bad neighborhood" around his paid app really nails it. If you're not generating appreciable traction from the free version, but are starting to develop a negative image and generating significant headaches as a result of it, it's probably a smart move to suspend the free version.
And yet, having your format messed up is completely unnecessary. We have this format called PDF which exists solely to make the same document look the same for everybody. It works on every major platform and is supposed by lots of software.

Unless the HR department intends to edit your resume, why on earth wouldn't they accept PDF?
This is great. Can I suggest adding the vote count for articles that you're linking to? Helps me get a quick sense of just how popular something was.
I was implying you are British, sorry for my mistake. It seemed like a macho British thing to do to try to deflect attention from this latest scandal by saying that the US is worse. (the UK is much worse).
Also, it must be administered to children. It's not a cure for adults. So the implication is that parents find something wrong with their own dwarf children. Someone once said "All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes." which is surely not true but still, you can imagine how this could be a sensitive topic. It seems to be much clearer if you only look at it as a treatment that prevents a whole bunch of other problems that are likely to occur later in life but, you know, humans don't always look at things in the most sensible ways.
Relax, this is the same uninformed flak that anybody who's actually had to deal with the talent shortage in person and dares say it on HN gets.
SRE in Detroit is making roughly the same average salary as a lawyer, Devops is even more.
"The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination. It is not illegal for an employer or other covered entity to favor an older worker over a younger one, even if both workers are age 40 or older."

I definitely read that differently than you. They’re just saying AI is a newer field and that older people tend to have less experience here.
I agree with the rule, but I only accused him of shaming after he drew a broad insulting caracature of a community I'm involved in and actually understand (the demoscene) by suggesting that it just involves people "browsing early 2000 forums and installing gentoo on PS3s". I think if you said that to any demo coder they'd tell you to eat sand. It's not even remotely close to what that scene is about. If there's a criticism to be made here, perhaps it's about not making assumptions about groups you know nothing about?

I made no assumptions other than what he explicitly said, which was insulting and displayed ignorance of a community he clearly does not understand. My original comment was also only "People who care about their craft?", which was simply saying that people get into demo coding because they care about doing something worthwhile (getting the most out of their machines in an artistically satisfying and interesting way).

There's a common social anti-pattern in most tech forums of hand-waving away any complex domain knowledge that the person doesn't personally use as "useless". I have no regrets about stating the contrary.

I am amused that I am the one getting a warning about this though. I'm not the one that made a drive-by ambiguous comment that could easily be read as singling out a fun community as being a waste of time. I just pointed out that that's what he just did.
I’ll plug the scanner I wrote. It’s not a normal scanner, in that it allows parallel demodulation and recording of FM and air-band AM:

That presumes we can't build new downtowns though. We can't, but it's self imposed.
You shouldn't be downvoted - there was a recent episode of This American Life talking about this trend. Pediatric Endocrinologists are prescribing growth hormone to otherwise healthy kids who are on the short side of the height spectrum. This is typically at the rich parents demand. The treatment is often not covered under insurance and can cost hundreds of thousands over a few years.

So yes, rich parents are already juicing their kids up on HGH to give them an extra inch or two of height. It's not the same exact treatment as the OP but it is happening today.

You are mixing global and US comparisons.
Sometimes people express themselves in slightly-imprecise ways in order to communicate more fluidly. Sensing the nuance in communication is an important skill.
Reddit is definitely not dead ... I mean, WSB on its own almost took down established investment funds. That's not exactly dead. Also many other subreddits are very much alive and kicking. It rather seems to me that a lot of folks on HN compulsively wish reddit was dead.
Short selling gives additional financial incentive to research companies and figure out which ones are full of it. That's useful to the market overall, not just to the short-sellers themselves.
Anyone can write a centralized chat app. Building a federated chat app is an order of magnitude more difficult, and is still a largely unexplored space.
There were no subreddits. There was a sizeable programmer user base that was somewhat academic about Haskell and lisp. I was a grad student at the time and I learned a lot about Functional programming. I remember the political discussion was somewhat similar to slashdot with Ron Paul and libertarian content sprinkled here and there.
Photogrammetry is extremely compute-intensive, but it is embarassingly parallel. You need to compute feature points in all your images (which is generally fairly fast, even if you use something like SIFT). Then you have to match features which, in the worst case (non sequential images) is a brute-force N^2 problem where each N (images) might have several thousand potential keypoints. Once you've done that, you do some non-linear optimisation (typically Levenberg Marquadt or some variant) to solve for pairwise camera parameters, orientations and feature point locations. The joint problem is called bundle adjustment and you might have millions of points to solve for. Finally you have to mesh all these points together using I guess something like Delanuey triangulation.

Even on a good desktop processor, it can take hours for a small scene. You really want a GPU for it.
GME also grew more than VW did. So if that is your evidence that GME would grow another 3x...
This looks great, so many opportunities for artists.
I get where you're coming from, but it turns out that plopping the entire VM into a zipfile ends up being a good way to have the kind of reproducibility that makes your operations sane. Do you pin specific versions of dependencies for your install scripts? Might as well pin the whole image. It's like 88% of the benefit of reproducible builds, at 3% of the cost, and that's not nothing.

Mind you, that's still Docker, though, not Kubernetes.

> If one of your consultants or developers tells you they can make your application faster by adding a bunch of additional computers, you are almost certainly getting taken for a ride.

Eh. There's a redundancy play in there somewhere too, if you know how to pull it off. (Big if.)
D3 is an absolute blast. I'm continually impressed by it's accessibility and flexibility. If you've never played with it before it's an absolute joy to work with.

Make sure to check out Mike Bostock's (d3's primary author) absurdly large collection of examples: http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock
and integrity:

> NHTSA does not rate vehicles beyond 5 stars and does not rank or order vehicles within the star rating categories.

So the following statement is flat-out untrue:

> SETS NEW NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY SCORE RECORD

If NHTSA does not rate vehicles beyond 5 stars, the maximum safety score is 5 and thus 5.4 is irrelevant

I think if the headline was "sets new vehicle safety score record", dropping the NHTSA acronym, then it would be fine.
Dokku looks super cool but it's still a lot more involved than Heroku. Heroku doesn't make you think about provisioning servers, updating infrastructure, or manually setting up common integrations like backups and logging.

Just to illustrate the point, dokku's docs[0] for logging say "Warning: The default docker-local scheduler will "store" these until the next deploy or until the old containers are garbage collected - whichever runs first. If you require the logs beyond this point in time, please ship the logs to a centralized log server."

Alright, well, that's gonna be a whole lot more work than two click in Heroku to send all my logs to any logging provider of my choice.

Yeah, everyone feels that way until they ran into several issues that suddenly make containerization look like a great idea.
It is easy to hide spy software in BMC part of modern day server. BMC is arm controller running in most of x86 server that support full linux stack with KVM and network connection functions mainly allow remove vnc and ipmi inventory of devices on the server.

open source version of it here:
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc

If the attack happen on BMC part of server, it is also very easy to detect it. Put the system in a network and start sniff the network connection on its bmc network port if you see any out going connection, one can start investigate it. Linux has a lot of tools to analyse random network connections.

I have no proof that BMC is indeed part of the spy ware. I just worked on BMC and know its capabilities.
In the UK at least, the rooms in all major budget hotel chains are almost identical reagrdless of location. I have stayed in many and, as reguler travellers may agree, it's normal to wake up and not be entirely sure which location you're currently at.

I can confirm, from personal experience at least, that it makes little difference - the first night is always difficult in terms of getting a good night's sleep.
I agree it should be avoided if possible, but sometimes it can't be avoided.
It’s an excellent experience in my opinion. The virtual D-pad is fine for driving. It’s not ideal for on foot gunplay, but serviceable and that’s really a side dish to the main course driving experience. In just one or two places in some of the games you get a bit stuck. In GtA3 there’s a challenge where you need to chuck a grenade through an upper story window that’s really tricky, for example, but apart from that it’s fine and IMHO these games are incredible value for money at their current prices.
I'm still very happy with the fact I went to a university with no sports teams and no frats or sororities.
To me red wine tastes very differently from white wine.

Am I fooling myself? Are they really indistinguishable?

Is it possible that the experts were afraid of using white attributes for a red wine, like in social consensus experiments?

Did anybody ran a test in the dark, where you cant see the wine at all?
I think the idea is that therapy should focus on the patient and anything that might distract the course of therapy is harmful to the patient (deprives them of effective therapy treatment).
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I've read the entire article but it seems to discount the thesis that the technological revolution played a primary role.

It seems to me that like most macroeconomics issues, it's a multivariate phenomenon, so correlational studies can only get you so far.

Do you have books you would recommend on the subject?
The Economist certainly has an ideological bias.

However, unlike many publications, they are fairly forthcoming about it, and are clear about their position.

I don't agree with all of their positions (though I agree with most), but I most of all appreciate that they don't really try to bury opinion into "objective" reporting.

What also helps is that John Oliver is on HBO - they have the budget, and they can swear or show pictures of genitals.
Academics would have no such motivational constraints unless working for the feds. They burn capabilities with wild abandon and still serve their own self-interest.
"fnord".
Browsing the web - yes

But vacuum cleaners and and cell phones contain the name the explanation of what they are and do. "augmented reality" doesn't. Holographic... it does a better job, at least for some people.
How do you know the sample was limited to readers of Time?
Didn't I just read on HN the other day that you can do motion tracking with audio? I wouldn't be shocked if my Nest thermostat and protect smoke detectors could geolocate my in my home.
He means zero _dynamic_ memory allocation.
Yes :( Unfortunately, a lot of politicians and administrators figure MOOCs are best targeted at the classes that have vast herds of students coming through, like remedial math and writing, rather than those little upper-level classes for advanced students (that profs love to teach!). But you can see the problem: the major predictor for success in a MOOC is study skills + maturity. The major predictor for being in a remedial math class? The lack of effective study skills. If these kids had great math self-teaching ability, they would have taught themselves out of remedial math a while ago (like half the kids in calculus).
Many moons ago, Zigbee/Zwave stuff got spooked out of my head because the comms protocol was unencrypted, and anyone could walk by and start doing things to my devices. Has this improved at all? I don't like having every single smart device on my network talking WiFi either, but I can at least sandbox that stuff away to a separate network, and use things like HomeAssistant if I feel the need to go full paranoid android and limit external connectivity.
Unless they went out of business while trying to perfect the code instead of releasing any kind of product.
I'm not too good with Javascript, but this would only work on domains you own, correct?
There is no set path for these things, but if there was an ideal path it would probably be working as an early employee < 15-20 at a startup. While at the Startup you get real-life experience working at a company, you meet new people and mature. Maybe you stay 1,2, or 3 years, then you go off and do something on your own. Meeting/Networking is crucial because your co-founders have to be good matches.

Grad school would be great if there is a purpose. ITP would be good if you want to be a founder that leans product/design. Stanford/MIT would be good if you want to lean more in technical.

Y-combinator is the startup-MBA. It is an amazing program that I would recommend to any entrepreneur at any stage (college undergrad, grad, 1-10 year, or older). My issue with someone from college jumping right into YC is lack of life experience and technical experience. There are exceptions to that rule, and PG does a great job in picking those young entrepreneurs that can handle it. So if you feel you have what it takes, apply.
I have been using Vim for almost a year now, and I've thought about donating before. Thank you for reminding me.
I will continue to use Vim, and I will continue to donate.
I generally agree with your argument. Well designed code is the best in the end. It's what I aim for.

But I disagree with the implication that one ever reaches an expert stage where one easily balances the conflicting demands of real world program creation.

I don't think I'm original in claim that programming is inherently hard, even compared to other "difficult" tasks.
It's hard because a client would prefer you "take on technical debt" (take short-cuts), it's hard because computer programs are among the largest artifact constructed by humans, it's because of the halting problem and any number of factors.

It's hard.

I just had to get that off my chest, OK?
