most anonymous forums

Some of the non-/b/ areas of 4chan are surprising. Look at /jp/: there are people programming games and animations, people translating visual novels from Japanese. They even spawned a group project to make a visual novel from scratch: http://katawa-shoujo.com/

I think anonymous forums can work as long they share a strong common interest.
That wasn't a court precedent, it was a legal lynching during special circumstances. Plenty of companies currently get away with using aptitude tests as part of interviewing, and this is supported by copious precedents.
Month old news, e.g. here's an item from 3 days ago about the successful management of it's first "close encounter": http://www.satellitetoday.com/st/headlines/Intelsat-Reports-...

The stock website is intentionally horrible.

Jules Dupuit explained why a over a century and a half ago.

Yes, you did. You said you didn’t think there was any excuse for going 93 in a 55.
> Also in the same space is https://rancherdesktop.io/.

Am not familiar with Rancher Desktop, but briefly looking at their website it has a Docker CLI dependency which surely would land it in the Docker licensing controversy space, no ?
squid-3.1.10-29.el6.src.rpm (from ftp.redhat.com, buried where they keep SRPMs) has squid.init within, and that file has no mention of SQUID_PIDFILE_DIR. A few other spot-checked versions are the same way.

Did they take this upstream init script somehow?
Paging Peter Watts to the red courtesy phone, Peter Watts to the red courtesy phone, please.
He says after he discovered FM brass sounds that there was "some importance" of his discovery beyond his interest in composition. What an understatement! He clearly was not interested in seeing where that discovery was going to go!

I admire his focus on doing what he felt called to do with his life and to leave the rest aside for others.
What about libraries that use the NDK (https://github.com/kikoso/android-stackblur) or a Box Blur (https://github.com/CyberAgent/android-gpuimage). Have you tried those?
or check the variable before using it, like any other programming language:

[[ "$VAR" ]] && rm -rf "$VAR/*"

I think most of these issues stem from the fact that most developers that write shell scripts don't actually understand what they're doing, treating the script as a necessary annoyance rather than a component of the software.
The red box has some text that says:

Not really. Basically on par.
Would you care to enumerate these properties?
Per Chris Seaton's comment in this thread:

> Oracle Labs pays two people full time (including me) [to work on JRuby] and a PhD student, and more soon.
Indeed. It does seem strange to have good debugging skills without being that good at building up systems in the head.

LuaJIT "forked" from Lua during the 5.1 days. There are still some features from 5.1 that Mike (intentionally) didn't port to LuaJIT.
The solution to institutional injustice being what? I really feel for the folks trying to address the problem, but I've yet to see a solution based on a solid root cause analysis. I completely agree with your point on the "enlightening moment", it is quite an experience when your world view suddenly shifts due to new information.

I would say that the root cause is ignorance at the human level, which gets incorporated into institutions - which are slow in adapting to social evolution. These institutions end up acting as drogues, slowing social progress.

It might be time for us to evaluate the value of these institutions vs the cost. I doubt any of this is novel to somebody who a studied the problem, so I wonder why the solutions posed always seem to be bolt-ons.
The quote regarding "a couple of students in a lab" annoys me. I can't think of any information that is actually reliably conveyed by that image.

Are students in a lab less capable than professionals elsewhere? Not necessarily.

Can we be sure that professionals elsewhere were not already trying these techniques? Not necessarily.

Were the advancements in the field driven solely by the work of these students, as opposed to general advancements in all areas of computing? Not necessarily.

All of that said, it is cool to see how far we are coming in these areas. Looking forward to where we will be in the rest of my lifetime.
This is about 32-bit OS X software/libs.
Next: Docker images!
Yes, very significantly, especially on old CPUs that don’t have hardware mitigations.
This is really cool! I'm curious to see how this performs against other AutoML systems like autogluon, autokeras, and AutoML Tables. Do you have any model quality benchmarks on standard research tabular datasets (UCI, OpenML, PMLB) or Kaggle competitions?
The failure of leadership by the Republicans occurred in 2016 when no other candidate could manage to beat Trump in the primary. The rest was just the other train cars continuing to derail.
>Ask Amphetamine about how open they are.

That's neither here nor there.

(a) Amphetamine could still be sold outside the Mac App Store.

(b) An app name could be problematic even in FOSS land. It's just that instead of Amphetamine being the name that causes it, it will be something else. E.g. with the trend of banning/changing terms like "master" (as in replication primary master, not as in the owner of slaves), unfortunately named apps could be thrown out something or ask to be renamed to be included in a distros package manager or a project.
On Linux kernel >=5.1.13 you can add mitigations=off kernel boot parameter to turn off all mitigations.

There are more granular parameters that are supported by all kernels implementing CPU mitigations:
noibrs noibpb nopti nospectre_v2 nospectre_v1 l1tf=off nospec_store_bypass_disable no_stf_barrier mds=off mitigations=off

Oh ... ok maybe harder to seal off than I thought.
Also no evidence that any fraud would be in favor of Biden and not Trump.
I don't think so. Watch, my prediction is that Trump will be gone on schedule and things will return to some semblance of normal.
> All I see there is consumption %s

The section you apparently didn't scroll down to, "Origin of electricity in the last 24 hours" shows you exactly what I described.

The chart you've offered is denominated in TWh, thus energy not power, because it is cumulative over an entire year rather than showing marginal power. So you end up concluding that if a nuclear power station is closed for two months for repairs, or a new one is brought online those somehow constitute energy "flexibility".
Because it makes customers happy, and thus more likely to purchase from you again in future.

Long term vs. short term.

I think I've been reading too many interview questions lately that I originally thought this was a trick question that required implementing mult with only the provided incr

I like that this was a more of an engineering question about diving into an unfamiliar codebase than a gotcha math/algorithm question
Yeah, I'd recommend you stick to things with simple mechanical buttons or something.

When you press the power button and it goes to art mode (effectively a screensaver) instead of turning off, most people's next step would be to try holding the power button. Barring that, the manual clearly describes these two different operations if the power button.
We updated our demo page to point to the download page and updated the literature. The demo was way outdated and no longer supported.
The vast majority of Uber drivers are part time by choice. You don’t have that option with taxi driving. One driver I had would wake up early and drive people to the airport before work and that helped him pay off his car sooner. Uber is extremely flexible and the engagement model isn’t predatory. You make money from your first trip and everything is clearly spelled out. You can even work for Lyft and Uber at the same time.

Flexibility is the key for most drivers. Is every driver happy? No. Is every google software engineer happy? No. Some would accuse google of being predatory but just because some people say that doesn’t make it real. Go ask most of the drivers and you will see that it’s a part time job to them and for what it is it’s fine. They don’t look to it like some career and they shouldn’t.
Yeah, exactly. I think the real risk seems to be unofficial precompiled versions, or clones/derivatives, but the same risk exists for redistributing/cracking (and to a lesser degree, modding) closed source software.

Jason Rohrer's game One Hour One Life has a few community spin-offs, which is also really interesting. There are also blatant clones, of course, but it seems to be a worthwhile tradeoff on the whole.
How about NodeBox Linguistics? https://www.nodebox.net/code/index.php/Linguistics

I always thought of hackers as people who loved various forms of freedom, including but not limited to economic and technological freedom.
> Not only would this rob the legislature of experience,

I'm not sure it does, or at least not drastically: It robs the legislature of individual experience, but on average there's no reason you'd expect each politician to be in for the first time. They could even rerun later.

> it would also mean politicians towards the end of each term would be focused on securing their next job, rather than performing their current one.

This is a really easy problem to solve: You give a recently ousted MP a paid vacation after their term is up.

(This works better of course if you stagger elections rather than electing everyone at once, but it's fine without)

Why should anyone require a salary increase for somehow to show them how to do their job in an easier way? Unproductive programmers are unproductive because they do too many things manually and don't automate repetitive parts of their jobs.

I know programmers who still, after years and being told to use rsync and automate the pushing of their code to production, still manually open up an ftp client and one by one upload just the files they know they changed. Dudes could save probably a few hours a week easily and do less work but the fear of... learning something prevents them from doing it.

How do we judge Ned, Ed, Fred, and Jed?

We can't judge them in a vacuum. What is the rest of the team like? Are they all of the same mindset as Ned? Can they understand Fred's code? Which requirements did Ed relax and what is the quality of the open source code? Does what Jed suggested make sense?

I do t think you’ve ever experienced the brutal reality of living in the US: barely any employment insurance compared to the EU, two weeks notice before you lose your job only, just an ambulance ride and seeing an MD in the ER is a few thousand dollars before they even start treating you, getting cancer also means hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills (good luck without insurance), 0 days a year vacation prescribed by law, to only pick a few. Oh and free or nearly free education all the way to a masters degree at least. Not to mention other public services like mass transit. Or life expectancy. You’re better off in Europe.
Actually, Ben and Moisey owned a managed hosting company that was coming under a lot of pressure from rackspace. DigitalOcean as a product was a direct response to that market pressure. I think if you ask any of the early executives, none of us loooovveed the venture component, it was a way to grow the business that was already growing rapidly with strong product market fit. Remember, a16z only invested once we were doing millions and millions in ARR. In terms of Linode, I have no idea what you're talking about. DigitalOcean had 1 click $5 SSD offerings years before linode/anyone else made any changes to their business.
Delete the Facebook and Instagram apps off your phone along with Messenger and it becomes much easier to not use them out of habit.
Thanks - that'a really helpful to know. I'm not sure that QEMU has AVX but will investigate further.
I agree it makes no sense. But having China as a bondholder does not give them any power over us. Especially when said bonds are delineated in US currency - something the US can print at will.
Exactly this.

I interviewed lots of people for a small company and multiple times I became convinced the person across a table would be a good hire (based on past work experience and soft talk) only to see them bleed to death on the first technical question. Demonstration of technical skill is absolutely crucial for an interview.

Personally I don't care about pseudo code vs real or syntax errors, but the price of a bad hire is much higher than a few more questions or round for a candidate. Also FAANG will always have enough senior CV on their desk to miss a few good hire...
Also, Vero is a decent alternative if you can get your circle into it.
Wow, that's pretty interesting.
Well, this came to my mind because I'm developing a new responsive web app and wanted to test it on both my iPhone and iPad. There are several ways around this but I guess this makes it so much easier.

Also, as noted, seems great to let your colleagues see what's going on with your work.
Sure, slow rendering/layout/performance would be a perfectly reasonable complaint about the web platform.

The well-formedness thing is, sorry to be blunt, a totally crazy thing to complain about.

Every single platform that has any popularity introduces rough edges like this over time. It's impossible not to because every single bug that introduces relaxations gets baked in as content comes to rely on it. It is impossible to ever remove those relaxations, and really, it's totally fine.

There is a cost to lack of well-formedness, but on the list of problems with the web it is waaaaay waaaay down there.
First 1/3 of the article is talking about background or $16B?!?... Much of the rest is a list of hardware. Be prepared to skim a ton to find the actual subject of the article.
I spent my last weekend styling and setting up an online shop for a client that included importing 4,000 products from their existing locked-in system - took me about 20 hours and I still have about 10 hours of time to put in but the job is for about $4,500. It was as boring as hell and I would have preferred to be spending the whole weekend with my wife and kids, but in those 30 hours I just made your annual wage four times over.

30 hours is not long to have to stick with one thing, and if you put in 30 hours on odesk at $10/hour you could take the next twelve and a half weeks off compared to what you are signing up for. Even at $2/hour you would still only need to work every second week and still come out ahead.

I can only guess that competition is fierce but you only need to find and retain a few companies that can feed you some work and you are set. So, sure do what you are planning if it keeps food on your table, but set each Sunday to match your month's wage and when you do, get out.

Next weekend when I'm working rather than spending the whole time with my family I'll rethink whether I could outsource it for 10% of what I make if I could find one programmer I could rely on to get it done correctly, quickly and discretely.

That's my first world problem.
This post made me think about how cynical my commentaries on the cynicism of hn probably sound, which was... weird.

Right. It's a good thing stoves/ranges heat from the bottom!
He may very well have been incompetent, but at the very least he was dishonest too. He put a serious bias on what he "reported" in his article. It may have been a malicious attempt to kill the car for a better story, or it may have just been an attempt to cover up his own incompetence, but either way, it was a pretty bad article and deserved to be trashed.
Nothing. The news describing the leaks indicate the NSA is doing less than I imagined. I'm more concerned about private businesses collecting data about me than I am the government.
This is an odd twist on perfect forward secrecy. PFS is the assertion that even with one of the private keys, a passive attacker cannot decrypt the stream. With this system knowledge of the initiator's private key and the prekey is enough to decrypt the stream.

Getting that prekey is almost certainly easier than getting both private keys, so the security guarantee isn't equivalent to PFS.
> I always refuse the scanner

Would you mind to share your reasoning as to why you elect to forgo this option ? It would appear to me having a machine scan you is less intrusive than a full body search by a human agent.
I thought the problem was Top Gear showed them pushing the Tesla, as if it had run out of juice, when in fact it still had battery and could have driven under its own power?

Even though I normally would agree with the premise in the headline, the article is a waste of time. The author goes on many tangents and doesn't seem to have a coherent point besides the title. "Some tech billionaires have some things in common with previous capitalist titans". If you find that point facile, like me, then you're better off not wasting your time.
>But because I had no money and an overworked public defender, I knew I’d have to serve time for my violation.

In my experience, most employers start with a lower offer under the assumption that the candidate will want to negotiate. If the employer starts with their best offer and the candidate wants to negotiate they have no room to increase the offer and see this as being a negative. I suppose they want to be able to counter during the negotiation and seem responsive.

Personally, I always focus on making the best possible offer first and if the employee wants to negotiate telling them it's the best offer. It shows the potential employee that you respect them and have spent time considering the offer, instead of just floating something to see how they react.

If you hold back, aren't you just telling the candidate that you were trying to pull a fast one on them if you increase the offer later?

"... Why is it that 90% of the stories we hear involving Australia and technology are about stupid moves by the government? Is there something unique about Australia? ..."

Yes.

Australian cultural DNA is a weird hybrid of the US, UK with it's own particular mutation. Despite being blessed with a large land mass, Australia is devoid of imagination and cannot successfully combine technology and entrepreneurship like the US. It has the smarts but lacks the sophistication of public relations and finance of the UK.

At a political and business level we seem to get stuck with leaders who revel in being 50 years behind the times.
I'm sure you're not reading support for the Iraq war in my comments?

My problem is not with the anti-war point of view, but with naivety of the legality argument.
I imagine part of the reason for them choosing these sites was simply to test the public reaction. I'm sure there are thousands of other "shady" sites out there that they could've chosen in addition to these.

Nice idea. I like the concept and never really thought much of freecycle as it's really nothing more than a semi-managed yahoo group.

Your first big challenge will be to get enough people to use it to generate critical mass.

Maybe you could promote your items as links on freecycle to generate some traffic?

Also, most local forums have some sort of "buy it sell it" area. Given that it's a free service I'm sure you could get some interest via whirlpool, ozbargain, ocau and maybe even more specialised sites like aussiehomebrewer etc.

Start building some links to your site.

Good luck.
> WikiLeaks’ motivation is that of a court jester

Can anyone elaborate on that?
I read somewhere (I can't find it after googling extensively) that the first couple of generations of Europeans to settle in the US had a pretty long life expectancy mostly because the escaped crowded cities. Sanitation hadn't been figured out yet, but the population was so sparse the drinking water hadn't been contaminated to a considerable degree, etc.

Of course as cities were built, the life expectancy went right back down to the 35-40 years it had been previously.

You're right of course that living longer gives us the chance to get "old people's" diseases. But the majority of the gains were made from 1900 to the 1940s, the climb is much, much slower after that.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. It's just hard for me to justify (to myself) learning vim (or emacs, or vi, or whatever) when I can just load up Sublime Text and start working on something.

Put another way: working with Sublime Text and Adobe Brackets is a good experience for me... There's nothing that screams out at me "Man, this sucks, I need to go learn vim."
