RE perf — we're planning to add eBPF support — AFAIK it's a modern equivalent of perf and the output there should be similar to perf.

RE allocations graph, this should be possible, we'll definitely look into integrating it as well.
I do just fine with macOS UNIX userspace.

It's happening with political news. It's only a matter of time before it catches on in wall street.
Based on the number of comments (94) and upvotes (53), this may have triggered the flamewar detector. Here’s more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25584860 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25871251

If you’re curious, email hn@ and they’ll tell you what happened.

(Background: a very high ratio of comments to upvotes often means that more people want to opine than get value from the opinions. Obviously that’s not always the case, though.)
Isn't that because the companies that attract that talent and pay those salaries are there, though? I don't doubt you, but also there's nothing about the geography of the SF bay that gives people more talent.

The only reason I can think that a company wouldn't start elsewhere, or decide to move to save on costs while hiring the same talent level (who presumably wouldn't mind lower TCO) is the network value of existing bay area talent.
May I suggest the term you're looking for might be "open market" more than "free market"? Everything Apple is doing is empowered by the free market.

As an aside, using the ISA bus as an example of the benefits of open systems is ... Kinda weird. ISA busses were open, but the remainder of the systems tended to be clones of a proprietary system, and they "took the world by storm" by snowballing on the success of said proprietary system.

PCs didn't only become successful after ISA created an open market for peripheral cards -- that enabled a slew of companies to expand and profit on an existing demand for PC compatibles running DOS/Windows.
Industrial buildings are built to very different codes and requirements than residential buildings. Off the top of my head, I think that a dearth of insulation and water pipes would be an issue, along with the ratio of exterior to interior space (no windows leads to depression fast).

It reminds me of industrial loft apartments that sprung up when Midwestern small manufacturing died. I knew some people who lived in one and their quality of life was pretty terrible compared to purpose built residential housing. Their place was cold and all mechanicals had to be run in exterior conduit which was ugly and hard to keep clean. Better than being homeless though.
That would be Krogan, not me. There are animals with multiple hearts. People can be made to have 2 hearts too, but let me not go into that.

But we have bunch of non-heart redundancy.
It's quite the opposite. QM was discovered while we were trying to resolve certain problems such as the ultraviolet catastrophe. [0]

To say it is "nothing but conjecture" is incredibly condescendingly dismissive and ignorant of the history of its evolution.

For another hilarious analogy, Seth Meyers described the behaviour of the senators backing him up as "cosplaying as noble statesmen"; here it is queued up: https://youtu.be/umWOkozTejI?t=425
I typically use google for most unit conversions. How much concrete do I need for my driveway? I type this at the top of Chrome: 1/4 mile * 8ft * 4in in yd^3
We run a referral program at 8centsms.com

We have a very small user base at the moment (about 100 regulars) and about 10 are really into the product and give us great feedback.

Of those 10 there is 1 that has really given the referral program a go with gusto.

He crafted up an email, sent it to just about everyone he knows - seriously like 100 emails, with a very in depth explanation of why he liked the service.

Zero response.

Why? Because the format of the email is so spammy. The email subject still says "You have been invited to ... " etc.

Our goal now is to try changing the program so that instead of sending out referral emails from our interface, each person gets a unique referral signup URL that they can send to their friends in whatever format they like.
A pension is more deferred income than anything, so it isn't passive. I don't know the details of how PG gets the money he invests, but for what he does there isn't a requirement that he have millions to begin with. He could simply be manager of a fund. And whether he's earning his keep or sucking blood depends more on the specific arrangements.

If PG's terms were that he collect 100% of the profits of successful companies, while paying people a flat rate, then yes he would be 'sucking blood from the productive masses'. Yet, this is essentially what happens in most other spheres. Those who own the means of production let those on the bottom use their "property" while keeping the ever-increasing profits to themselves.

Yes, everyones quality of life increases, but at a radically disproportionate rate. At this point the income is passive and there should be a line where you're not entitled to any more of it.
I second you on the school time schedule killing your creativity. Having to memorize methodologies and stuff when you'd rather be building something cool

So, to be clear, your plan is no different than all the other crappy companies people complain about: replace real process and professional management with calling yourself a family, “perks” the employees already pay for through reduced salary like food, and taking advantage of young, cheap labor that doesn’t know any better than to be exploited?
This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I maintain a similar boilerplate (graphene + semantic ui).

What's your take on Tailwind so far? I've found the lack of a react offering has really slowed me down.
Start making 1-1 meetings just to get to know people better and the kind of things they do. Make sure you mostly work on projects where you can collaborate closely with 1-3 other people.
That's certainly one use case, but most definitely not the only one. There are tons of corporate customers who use Github and don't give 2 shits about the larger social network aspect of it (I mean, for one, just think of all the users that use on-prem Github).
That's the odds if a person touched one surface every day. Touching the same surface twice would not double the risk, but touching two distinct surfaces would. Most people touch a lot more than one surface per day.
Pages are perfect by default (except for a serif font being by default on some screens and the line length not being limited to something readable).

The less you do, the best the web page behaves.

The more you fight against default behaviors / layouts, the more things break.

But more specifically, be careful with margins, they grow with the zoom level, often more than wanted. Same for position. And be careful with sizes fixed using something else than percentages for the same reasons. If you don't want a block be larger than 100ish characters for readability, use max-width with a font related unit, not straight width and not some other kind of unit.
Regrading the jet fumes, yeah if you're within 3-5 miles of a major airport, there's definitely jet fumes drifting around.

Source: Helped someone one weekend re-roof their house that was probably 3 miles from Logan Airport in Boston. You'd get waves of fumes slowly drifting down from the big heavy jets taking off one after another after another.
I think we probably still have a fundamental disconnect here.

Can I ask you, when I say - "people writing software products generally shouldn't be creating novel cryptosystems" - what is it you hear?

Do you hear someone saying "you shouldn't be writing software that uses encryption" ?

Because that's not what I'm saying.

A cryptosystem is something like what's going on here - we have messages secured by OTPs, generated using SecureRandom and exchanged over an encrypted channel using an AES key displayed on the screen for the other party to scan.

So what I'm saying is "hey, why not use the industry standards for your crypto? Inventing cryptosystems is way hard and you probably got it wrong. You can still make your cool apps on top of it!"
If you've ever read a customer review on Dell's, Macy's, Costco's, or Home Depot's websites, you've used an Austin startup product - BazaarVoice. If you've recently booked a vacation rental, you've almost certainly used one of HomeAway's properties (they're in the middle of consolidating the entire industry). Maybe you've looked for a job via Indeed.com? Use Gowalla instead of Foursquare (Gowalla relocated from Dallas)?

The startups are there; they are far and few now but rapidly increasing. I fully agree with you on the disconnect between academia and the startup community though - it's frustrating just how hard it is for Austin startups to hire UT talent.
I assume the oven thermometer works by supplying a temperature-dependent current or voltage to whatever controls the heating elements. It should be possible to mod it so that the temperature reported is half of what it actually is. That way, you can set your oven dial to 400 F and actually get 800 F. Bonus points for installing a 1x / 2x switch so you can toggle between normal and high-heat modes. Sure beats hacking off the cleaning lock with garden shears.
I've seen this story get covered by every major news source but they all have the same take on it "he'll never be able to cash the big chips". Big fucking deal.

Well, this is probably the only part of the story that's actually actionable (gawd, did I just use that word?) from the viewer's point of view.

If somebody tries to sell you a $25,000 Bellagio chip for $20,000 then it's worthless and likely to get you into trouble.
I'm sure the folks at Github will fix it today since you've emailed them.

Cute use of rickrolling btw. :-)
It loads, it just takes a long while.
mine looks slightly better, but I wanted to add a couple more features (ignore url, delete item from history)before releasing.
As soon as I have a bit of time to do it and release it I'll ping whoever wants to know it.
i use mockupscreens http://www.mockupscreens.com/. its quick and easy to get your idea down but simple enough that you arent conveying to viewers that you are already "done" or that things are frozen. its cheap, like $80 for single and like $300 for a team if you need it.
I am sorry, but having been in the military myself, I cannot feel sympathy for a serviceman who intentionally leaked classified material. And if found guity, he should spend the rest of his life in prison for doing so.
The thing that makes me doubt this is that Tron Legacy isn't a reboot, it's a full blown sequel.
Isn't this mixing things up a bit? This issue relates to their dealings in Australia, whilst any antitrust case is most likely to come from US or EU and be focused on those markets, isn't it?
It is not. It is exposed to whatever training data it was trained on, and maybe whatever new data it encounters if it is being continuously trained during use.
How do you boot Windows from USB without using third party tools?
I think that confusion stems from thinking about an operation that ought to be defined on sets, mapreduce, as one defined on lists. Your monoid obviously needs to be commutative for the former and not the latter. And the implementations are pretty similar in serial but quite different in performance in parallel.
The 4.0 liter L6 was a great engine. The 5.2/5.9 liter V8 was almost exactly the opposite of that.
No, emacs used to be non-free software. Bare in mind open source (as we understand it today) is very different to what it was like in the 80s. Also internet connections (if you were lucky enough to have one in the first place) was several orders of magnitude slower and more expensive thus software was usually distributed via snail mail and usually came with a (hefty) price tag.

In many ways, this is the golden era for developers. Never has so many tools been free, easy to access and in abundance. Though I'll always have fond memories of the 80s development for it's simplicity.
And you wonder how many fires are going to be started by pervasive backup generators.
Why is "the potential for abuse" always brought up when it's Web apps that people are talking about, but almost anything else in the world, "potential for abuse" is considered a fallacious argument employed disingenously by people with hidden agendas?

Crypto-*: it might be used by criminals!

Anonymous content sharing: it might be used be poedophiles!

Free speech: it might be used by yucky people!

UBI: it might be used as an excuse to not work!

Consumer-grade GPUs: they might be used by cryptominers trying to burn the world!

Paternalism and prior-restraint are anti-democratic. Other people using a tool for bad purposes should have no bearing on my usage.
I've read that paper years ago. I'm afraid I find it unimpressive. It is not so hard, really, to fail, when you fail to try. I have a computer science degree; I've built CPUs (from all the sequential and combinational circuits on up); I also work in neuroscience, and do some of the kinds of analysis this paper tries to criticize.

For example, a very basic approach is design experimental tasks that have contrasting conditions, or events to be predicted. They don't do that. Even something as simple as pressing the controller left vs right vs not moving at all in donkeykong would have been more interesting.

In any case, brains and traditional computer circuits work on different principles as I noted in my OP. Furthermore, there is quite a lot more redundancy in brains--and partial-redundancy is a bit of how it works; for example, if you have a population of neurons with different tuning curves, then the output in response to a stimulus can be integrated, and a likelihood distribution obtained for the actual value of a stimulus; that's just fundamentally different than how, say, a 5-stage pipelined RISC cpu works.
XServer has long stopped being relevant.
Excuse me? Generational inheritance is the basis of the entire monarchy. It's how they justify their position and privileges. Invoke generational privileges when it suits them and cry about generational guilt when it does not??
Commercial grazing tends to overgraze which is worse in the long run.
There are ultimately shared ground rules: the laws of physics, our shared ecosystem, etc.

Here's an example of the kind of thinking ZTO would advocate, and that I'd expect Thiel to be advocating:

So what if China eclipses the USA in aggregate GDP? It's easy for them to do that: they have 4X as many people so all they need is 1/4 US per-capita GDP to equal ours.

Per-capita matters more in terms of our subjective experience of our success. We should focus on reversing the decline of our own per-capita wealth, such as focusing on fixing the problems destroying our middle class and domestic industry.

Lets settle and establish bases and eventually offshoot civilizations in LEO, on the Moon, and on Mars instead of worrying about China climbing the hill we climbed a century ago.

The only two policies I would really advocate re: China are:

(1) Making sure we stop treating them like a developing nation and establish fair trade with them instead of trade that is favorable to China. This will require fighting with corporations that have been benefiting massively from unfair trade with China due to wage arbitrage.

(2) Make sure we have a credible military deterrent and pursue a sound game theoretic approach to protecting our integrity.

(3) Pursue technologies that reduce our dependency on anything overseas that China can interfere with, such as using EVs instead of being dependent on the global oil market. Develop domestic sources of resources and domestic high-tech expertise.

... then build us some rockets. The final and eternal frontier beckons. Fuck warring over little bits of mud down here.

It's hard to sustain this kind of thinking. Adversity drags us down into the weeds. ZTO (the good parts) is a manifesto against this, urging us to keep our eyes on the prize. Thiel should re-read his book and maybe stop listening to the "intellectual dark web" crap he indirectly supports.
This depends on how the meat is frozen. Frozen meat can be more fresh in texture than chilled meat when flash frozen and dethawed immediately before use. The process of slowly freezing food alters the chemical structure, while flash freezing maintains this structure and subsequently the mouth feel and flavor of fresh meat/produce.
We are not talking about people implementing git the tool. We are talking about people using git as a tool (even though they share the common job title of a software engineer/developer).

The OP leads in with how "git cherry-pick" and "git rebase" are hard to use and promises to clear it up with a deep dive. You know, how do I turn the wipers on my car? Or turn signals?

> You have to understand DOM to resolve web page issue. Understanding how graphic card works would help in resolving webgl issues.

As a developer working to build things with DOM, you have to understand the DOM APIs and model. You do not have to understand how DOM is _implemented_ in browsers today and how they achieve things you need when you call the APIs. Sure, there are gotchas that are useful to know ("this CSS selector takes O(n^2) time to match"), but they are the exception, not the rule.

Similar holds for WebGL: you need to know the APIs and how to use them effectively. Sure, it's good to know where some of the gotchas are ("this might re-render the whole thing on-screen introducing flicker, here's the off-screen version"), but it's not a blocker.

But, none of these require you to understand internal implementation details to effectively use the public APIs (which with git are CLI commands).

This is not to say that understanding the nitty-gritty details of anything is a bad thing: it is a GREAT thing, and will probably empower you to do ever more intricate things (and it is usually a very rewarding exercise to learn more about a tool you use)! But that's different from having to know the internals to do the most basic of things (which I'd argue "cherry-pick" and "rebase" are).
Yes, the community edition set of editors are the only ones I use.

But there are no open source plugins for Go or Rust in top of intellij. So for all intents and purposes the editor is not open source for those languages. As far as I know no one in the community has tried implementing an open source plugin to compete with the proprietary ones.
The circumstances were completely different. I feel quite bad for the lady that died yesterday, but she put herself in a dangerous situation. That pig shouldn't have shot her in the neck.
I guess nobody gets pwned by high school kids just screwing around anymore. Every hack is now the "most sophisticated ever" by the "most technologically advanced state actor ever" to break the "most secure six-character password ever."
See it like stealing from a museum: very easy to break in (weak password -> breaking a window), hard to get out of here with all the paintings unnoticed - and that, on a daily basis.

The amount of effort and different techniques they've put in to remain undetected for months (years?) while infecting a lot of actors is pretty impressive.
So, my contracted rate is.04 cents per kwh until 2022. That means none of this can affect me, right?
This article is a bit off mark I think. The high end of the bike market is dominated by carbon fiber. The market for high end aluminum/ scandium is disappearing as the price of carbon fiber has come down over the years. It's very hard to find a high end bike which isn't carbon, heck even the mid-range is carbon mostly now.

There are a few brands which stick to aluminum, ti, and steel, mostly boutique brands.

One of my favorite bikes is a scandium single-speed, I still have the frame out in storage. It's a Kona Kula. Been thinking about rebuilding it lately.
Yet many kids have no problem learning a lot of things by pulling stuff they check online. Lets not pretend all kids are alike.
I suspect that this prediction will turn out to be false, but it's paywalled so I can't even read their full argument.
Kona Kula 2-9 was scandium.
Rolling blackouts are in effect. What I have noticed is that if you drastically minimize your power consumption you drastically increase your odds of being spared from the blackouts. The observation is based upon neighborhood data posted by various homeowners to our community page.
You need money to flourish like everyone else, but you say you're not in it for the money. Then what are you after?

Are you prepared to accept that Europe's socialism (taxes and regulation) are the cause of these low wages? Are you even open to asking yourself if this is true?

Incidentally, how did you choose "socialist_coder" as your username? Are you trying to be facetious by doing so, or are you serious?
But does that mean that it's a requirement to have a second server up and running at all times (in order to be constantly receiving data from the main server)?
The LHC's ATLAS detector is finding many pairs of photons with a total energy of 115 GeV. This is usually a sign that the collision produced a 115 GeV particle which decayed into a photon pair. There are suspicions that this particle is the long-predicted Higgs boson, because many models estimate the Higgs' mass at 115 GeV.

However, the percentage of collisions which result in this phenomenon isn't in agreement with any of our current models of how the Higgs boson behaves. It's not certain that the new 115 GeV particle is in fact the Higgs; if it is, the Higgs models will need more revising.
I like him mentioning the programmer's mindset associated with GC being a big danger. Some people consider GC a magic bullet and refuse to think about what's happening under the hood. I do not consider that a good habit.
> Maybe there will be a plugin, but that defeats the purpose.

Well, what's wrong with a plugin? There's some great stuff written in Unity, which runs on every browser for Windows and Mac, with Linux support coming in the nearish future.

And frankly, it looks and performs much much better than anything I've seen in WebGL.

"Big Business does not respect you. Case #1." is the title. I don't think it's about respect it's just that businesses like these only care about making money and not about pleasing customers.

The article basically concerns buying computers that are careful labelled with different product codes to avoid the company ("Buff Buy") from having to pay out on their "price promise". It's basically fraud IMO.
Perl also uses reference counting, and cyclical data structures cause memory leaks unless you explicitly decrease the reference count with the weaken function from Scalar::Util.
Totally agree. Also, he makes it sound that somehow creating a different platform - comparable to twitter in scale - is an easy task....
Looks promising. Lately I have been using Retool to build my internal app and I must say this is very interesting alternative.

In Retool, to edit many components, I have to click in every one of them which takes so much time. With this approach there would be no problem.

Looking forward to test it out!
Au contraire, people with outdated phones are less likely to be able to afford to Ubers. Much of Uber's profit comes from people booking Ubers from airports, I've used Uber all over the world and it's absolutely amazing.
