shucked hard drives go for around $15/TB on sale. Buy three for redundancy and it's $45/TB. The break-even point for that setup would be 9 months.
The fact that Breitbart is quoted as though it were some kind of objective source says that this is scarcely an unbiased site.

Deribit operates from Panama.

Typically these markets work well until there is finally some big event in the markets. Just when when big wins and losses are actualized they have "technical difficulties" or they just disappear.
I'd prefer the C128 BASIC. It had graphics and sound commands. That would be good to hook up SDL2 and make something interesting.

You could do the same for C64 basic but that was all peeks/pokes or something like SIMON's BASIC. These are doable using this project's C runtime if you chose to extend it such.

Interesting.

What about the license? Is Microsoft going to attack if you dare actually use this in a commercial or hobby project? Maybe.
I had these weird looks, and I even got engaged in a nice conversation with an employee at a t-mobile store, but some people don't even bat an eye.
Kudos on starting your nice little racist thread. If it’s counterfeit, must be a cheap developing world persons work.
https://github.com/nickpascucci/verso works like this. There's a syntax for creating tags in source files, and exposition for tags lives in a separate file.
Selling children and guns (at least in most parts of the world) is just outright prohibited. Selling land isn't.

You don't need to figure out whether it is an illegal or legal child sale as all child selling is illegal. Selling land in itself is not illegal.

What mainstream news do you read?
I could only see it sticking out and couldn't change it back at all. My girlfriend, who's much more much more of an empath and more artistic, could switch it back and forth. Interesting...
I don't know why he does that. I've pointed to other posts of his in the past and this is a complaint that others here have lodged too. Maybe someone should drop him an email about that. Maybe if enough did, he'd have that changed.
I'm a big fan of IEEE Software magazine. http://www.computer.org/portal/web/software/home

They have a lot of good authors who focus on different aspects of design and architecture.

I also enjoyed Implementation Patterns by Kent Beck.
It is not so much on the architecture of the system, but focuses on the implementation of classes and routines.
Any idea why Dell/HP and others do not offer engraving for their products?
That same argument could be made against the internet in general.

My philosophical solution is never to blame tools.
This was a major contributor for me too. Also alcohol abuse as self medication which is extraordinarily common in undiagnosed adult ADHD cases.

One of my teammates did a big ranking of company engineering blogs recently: https://draft.dev/learn/technical-blogs/engineering-blogs

Ranked them by writing quality, consistency, depth, and usefulness. It's a little subjective, but there are some good blogs on the list nonetheless.

Kind of, but there’s more to it. “Event sourcing” is the pattern being implemented by git’s immutable object database, but there’s also all the hashing and reference management.
“Trickling down” economics has been completely disregarded by serious Economists for years now. If it actually worked, the US would be in a much better position today than it actually is.
Surely in modern society we can do better than Weregild forms of justice and pseudo-medieval revenge systems. It's mind numbing that when people think crime and punishment the only references we use are ancient germanic codes.

This is not as dangerous as the authors make it sound like.
Just limit the maximum connections per IP (e.g. via mod_evasive in Lighty or firewall like iptables) and voila - attack voided.

This is very similar to what Slowloris does but Slowloris is much more intelligent because it slows the connection down before it all request headers are sent and therefor many modules will not execute their limit checks just yet.

"What’s special about this denial of service attack is that it’s very hard to fix"
"Therefore, to properly fix it would mean to break the protocol"

Not at all as outlined above.

From the paper:
"In HTTP/1.1 where chunked encoding is supported and there is no “Content-Length” HTTP header, the lethality is amplified."

No, it changes exactly nothing regarding this attack. Why would it?

I do not know why these guys make such a fuss about something so trivial and obvious to anyone dealing with HTTP servers. But sadly this is quite common in the security industry.

I registered the domain at about 7:50pm Central time and had content on the site by 8:05; the show had aired at 7:00 Central time, so I was still two hours ahead of the Pacific time zone airtime (10pm Central time).
Gambling is when the economic activity is zero-sum -- there is a loser exactly equal to the winner. Investment puts money to work so the effect is their is more real wealth in the world. For example, a farmer buys an irrigation system with a small business loan -- now there is more food in the world. A homeowner uses a home equity loan to insulate his house -- now there is more energy in the world.

Contrast this with a casino developing super-slots with a $1 million payout. The casino might increase their take, but their is no increase of real wealth in the world.
You can't get a 6-core Mac pro, can you?

Actually, I'm in the market for a new Mac, as I need to do some iPhone dev. Does anyone find the non-replaceable battery to be an issue? That seemed like a real turn-off to me.

Anyone have Hackintosh experience? If I have >2 cores on a Hackintosh, will OS X recognize do proper thread scheduling? How stable are Hackintosh builds?
I never thought of censorship from that perspective.

It is refreshing, since 90% of the links I come by here about censorship are either about privacy, privacy expectation and influence on economy.

That way, nobody can say "I've done nothing wrong, so I'm not concerned".

What about if you are processing 100 Petabytes? And you are comparing to a 1000-node Hadoop cluster with each node running 64 cores and 1TB of main memory?
I never got C or C++. The OS course, sure, but it was awfully theoretical and we didn't get to code all that much. Depending on the rest of the curriculum you should probably decide what to use to teach introductory CS.
You have good points there. From reading the article, the inaccuracy is by inappropriately classifying people into groups, and the groupings lack sensitivity. As you also point out the underlying theoretical framework is also wrong. The article does point out that the Myers Briggs does correlate reasonably well with four of the big 5 though. Having said that I would definitely discourage use of the Myers-Briggs.

The original author has a good point about the naming of the big 5 factors though.

Two things I take issue with though - IQ is reasonably well understood in that we know it measures something reliably and accurately. Exactly what that thing is though, is not really understood - and probably can't be. And how it relates to the real world is also somewhat poorly understood, and may not be possible to fully understand. But it does have good ecological and construct validity. I'm talking about good IQ tests here - any less validation than the huge amount that the Wescheler scales go through and the validation is questionable. I'm aware of the racial biases in IQ testing which is a significant problem.

Psychology isn't a particular young science - big chunks of modern statistical analysis have their roots in 19th and early 20th century psychology. So psychology is a young science in the same sense that modern statistics is. Back when I was studying psychology 20 to 30 years ago, a lot of what is now called "neuroscience" was then called "cognitive science" or more rarely "cognitive neuroscience". Neuroscience sounds sexier though.

I do have a massive issue how many social scientists abuse psychometric techniques in inappropriate ways. Management research is particularly guilty here, and I've been pressured into doing this kind of inappropriate analysis in the past.

It is but much of that is overblown because of really old plasma screens - early 2000s and such. Some manufacturers dealt with it better than others. If you're buying an old plasma without burn-in after ~10 years of use with minimal attention you'll be OK. I make sure not to leave paused frame for longer than 30m periods and enable screensavers where possible. You sometimes can see contours of an image after turning off the TV if the image was still for some time but they fade away quickly and not cause any artefacts. Chromecast has a screensaver, my STB as well. Things like channel logos are not a problem even after long viewing sessions. I've had Panasonic and LG plasmas. They do draw much more power (150-300W) and in case of active cooling you can hear the fans just slightly but otherwise, to me, it's a steal at these prices for this image quality.

EDIT: I search for "panasonic plasma" and make sure it's at least 1920x1080 screen and try to buy it under $50, so far I've bought a few for family and one for the holiday cabin.

I can't wait to see this technology be immediately used for nefarious purposes by dictatorships and power drunk governments.

No need to waterboard prisoners for information anymore when you can just suck data from their brains.

In most judicial systems, you cannot be compelled to testify against yourself. With this technology, I really worry that that right will slip away.

This feels like the precipice before dystopian hell, to me.

The wikipedia article on Linear Programming doesn't mention him either:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Programming

A keyword search inside the link to the publication you shared returns no results for linear programming or simplex. I don't see how your links support your claim that he should have been mentioned in an article devoted to linear programming; which, btw, is different from linear targeting.

To be fair, I understand your respect for the man and I don't think anyone would downplay Svoboda's contributions to computer design and mathematical/scientific computing.
It is even worse, a better sandwich analogy is you buy a huge sandwich. You will eat half now and half later (you return flight) but you don't like the crust. The shop sells a crust free sandwich, but they charge more. So you buy the crust one, remove the crust and eat half. The shop owner sees you throw the crust away, he charges you with fraud AND takes the other uneaten half back.
Could instruction sets be considered an API?

Seeing as APIs are considered to not be copyrightable [0], but their implementations are, if an instruction set is an API they would be outside copyright.

> I don't think the question of whether a place is 'in' the US comes down to any notion of whether its regional governing authority is subordinate to or a federal constituent of the national government of the United States. If you want to dispute that as a basis, then people born in DC, or on Indian land, aren't born in the United States.

Right, I meant this as an unrelated aside I found interesting due to some perceived irony. I don't think I made that sufficiently clear in my original comment, unfortunately.

I would generally agree with the rest of your comment as well, and that Puerto Rico should count as the US for the purposes of immigration/citizenship surveys, but I could maybe see why someone would feel otherwise based on its unique status.

Haskell has been a huge success in how it has inspired the industry. I believe there is more where that came from. I think Haskell Generics could be really powerful if it was made way more usable and intuitive.
I feel like the field and the journals in psychology have a history of being and currently are quite fragile. I have taken a couple of examples and done some simulations and come to the conclusion that the kinetic fragility index of the field is about the same as amorphous silicon dioxide most the time.

And as anyone will tell you if your building a house of that material. It is vital that you ensure no one around is looking critically at it. So you should paint it with a brick pattern, and ensure nothing heavier than a feather is ever thrown towards it.

In that regards it seems the journal in this case agrees, as they seriously resisted a scientific rebuttal of a piece until they realized they could not prevent it. Had they had integrity (which I believe we can model analogue to a high Young’s modulus, I haven’t yet finished simulations to give a precise number of how high it should be for the journal) then they would have been thrilled at the chance to adjust their building to not include the original material.
I don't know if it's reasonable to ask this, but it would be cool to have an option to swap them around?

I guess I'll always be assuming it behaves like Firefox, so I'm tripping myself up a lot.

Either way, very cool app.
You are not. I hate how browsers nowadays, especially browsers on smartphones, are unusable without access to Internet. Sure, there is Pocket for instance, but IMHO there shouldn't be need for such app. And while I'm ranting at Pocket - there is still no automated login for LWN.net. (I know I can go with manual way, but still...)

P.S. I'm thinking about making nice dedicated cross-platform LWN.net articles & comments reader one day (well, maybe more), but it's hard to squeeze out enough time for that kind of fiddling (unless it's really a gravely matter, but it isn't here).
Of course dedicated hardware is faster. It is also very inflexible. You cannot clone your DB box to 10 more instances wishing minutes. You cannot detach and reattach volumes withing minutes. You cannot resize the box to 2x size withing minutes. You cannot move it to a different VLAN within minutes. AWS is not the speediest, but it certainly is flexible.
I'm sorry, I have no idea how your reply relates to my comment.
I've used at least 2 VLEs but I have to say that I still rather use Yahoo Groups or the best one would be Google Wave... But, yeah, I totally agree that the environments available nowadays doesn't show any evolution. I think that's a reflection of the institutions (universities, in general) they are linked with. Both the education and the working processes have to undergo huge transformation/evolution (theoretically it should have started by education, but I can't see it happening). We still pretty much have been going to school more or less the same for the past 700 years. If we want to be in the 21st century, we must move on from the 13th.
I didn't think people that read HN are influenced by prizes and similar cheap marketing tricks

Let's do some math:

Let's say that only 4000 people buy the bundle (highly unlikely, probably much more), the cost of the macbook and ipad is $2000
Your expected value from the prizes is $2000 / 4000 = $0.5.

$0.5 / $79 total cost = 0,6%
wow. great.

ngrok employee here (and lead on our cert system). Re client side auto certs, it's an interesting idea. We do support auto certs, managed within the ngrok cloud. We also support passing through tls termination to the ngrok agent and/or the user's upstream server so that users can use their own certs (which could be obtained programmatically). We also support end-to-end encryption as well as authentication (via mutual tls).

We've got a lot in the works as well.. thoon, real thoon. ;-)
That theory seems relatively sound. I'm digging more into functional programming again, because I think reading code needs to be easier than writing code, or at least reading code should be as easy as possible, and maybe it can meet that need.
look, "all" is meaningless. What constitutes "most" is a matter of judgement. Sinatra does guide you in your code organization a hell of a lot more than something like, "a json parser library".
This is a really fair assessment of the situation here and can save a lot of people some real heartache in the long run.
You appear to have copy-pasted this definition from a blog article, and then added bullet points between the syllables to make it look more official. Yikes!

A real dictionary will show you that McCarthy-esque allegations are specifically treasonous.
I got an offer to this out of the blue once. They wanted me to buy some cheap product and give it a good review.

Of course I understand why this is wrong and unethical, so I tried to report it to Amazon.

There is no way to report this to Amazon. They have no facility for reporting a product that someone tried to pay you to review positively.

The only thing you can do is contact customer service who as far as I can tell do nothing with the report.

All they need to do is add a category to their customer service section to report fraud. It blows my mind that they do not do this. But not really. They make more money by allowing this behavior, both from the fake buyer, as well as the other customers who are duped into buying highly reviewed items.

This is purely for education and show.

I worked on two top-50 supercomputer clusters for science applications. You learn a lot by doing. You find out what happens to your electrical power, TFTP, DHCP, and syslog servers, and other infrastructure when those hundreds/thousands of nodes boot up all at once. Your Cisco switch reloads when you add a secondary IP address to all of your network interfaces because it's CAM table overflows. You learn how to automate without stuff like Ansible and Chef because they don't exist yet.
If I remember right from years ago (2008-2010) the initial release of Chrome was just for Windows, and the Linux version was in beta for quite a while as just "Chromium" without much Google "cloud" integration.
But C++ could take the same route of consistency regardless of the lexer hack.

The turbofish is a strict superset of `typename`, and everywhere C++ lets you skip it it could simply require it instead.
The legal personhood of corporations is a misleading myth. Corporations exist so groups if investors can invest funds in a venture without incurring liability fir its actions or incur indebtedness from its borrowings.

The employees, including execs, still have liability. Assuming prosecutors have the motivation and guts to charge them.
I bought a version of Novell Unixware back in the early 1990s that had even more floppies, 63 of 'em, IIRC.

I tried to short-circuit that long-winded installation by putting the last 50 or so on to a QIC tape-cassette. Most of the time that worked, sometimes it didn't.
As an end user I keep WhatsApp open on my computer, because it makes it very easy to copy and paste text, screenshots or files.

From the business side.

Big companies use bots and ticketing systems based on the WhatsApp API.

Smaller stores can handle with WhatsApp for phone or Web.
Their method was destructive to the outer casing, because it was easier. If you wanted to clone a key it is likely you could find a way to either avoid destroying the outer packaging or replace it with an apparently identical case, at some expense. They don't necessarily need to damage the actual chip (although they did trash at least one during R&D)
Malice is a loaded term.

When Amazon tells you they want to buy you, never sign and come out with a competing product months later we feel malice.

But in this case we don' t becauce Microsoft copied an existing product and open source it we say no malice exists.

Big companies are copying smaller successful products on mass. It is not illegal, it's not out of malice. But its getting tiresome. How many products can facebook buy or copy and crush before we change the rules. Avoiding this was one of the pillars of copyright long ago. Now we have copyright for and copying trade secret powered development for big players.
