> Which crops and processes deserve access to cheaper water?

If you're the one trying to champion "water as a human right", then I think it's only fair to ask you where you would draw the lines. What demarcates personal use and commercial use? How many gallons can someone use for their outdoor "washing" pool before you step in and say that they're abusing the system?

> How much will the price of goods go up as a result?

I don't know, but we have a distributed algorithm for solving it called "capitalism". Like any algorithm, garbage-in makes for garbage-out, and tuning it is a major pain the ass. One of the important inputs is whatever cost on shared-resources (or externalities) imposed by the government.

stupid for providers to get involved in this. this is job of the law, not the corporations.
The Python ecosystem is so good about portability, but flexibility always comes with a cost.

I'm assuming your systems engineer perspective is colored by RedHat (and others) packaging python-ldap at the system level and then leaving you to your own devices for everything else.

C bindings are really convenient, but then you have to worry about dynamic linking. Are you sure Python is linked to the same OpenLDAP library that NSS uses? Hence, system versions of some Python packages, but only where other system level dependencies are an issue.
Well, yes, that's exactly what I was saying: we reached that point on the curve somewhere close to a decade ago, and old machines are perfectly capable of doing everything I need them to do now, today, with current software.

The changes which have actually made a difference to my computing experience over the last decade were the arrival of affordable SSDs and a jump upward in LCD pixel density.
"Web 3.0 is shitty phone apps"

I think this is unfair when we're comparing usually-premium, centralised apps with the advertising cruft of major publishing sites.

What is central to the concern in this transition isn't so much the quality of the apps but the (important) fringe content that will be frozen out. If anything, the cost of developing a good app to retain control of your publishing/revenue will be the limiting factor.
This whole thing is a mess. Why is github even involved at this level?

Where did they get the list of the top 360 packages on pypi? I tried to find it the other day but it looks like it was removed?

Also, the ordering on the right seems to imply they are in order of popularity on pypi.

Does anyone know where they got their list or if they are associated with pypi in some way?
I'm gonna keep this example in mind next time I end up in a subthread about how centralization sucks and distribution is so awesome and unicorns.

It's not really a good example - the system is centralized either way, moving the separation task to one side or the other doesn't really change that.
But I think it's again worth highlighting that this "separation" isn't because they're in their ivory towers, but sheer simple math. Nobody can "engage" with millions of people. It's part of why Internet flash mobs destroying people's lives is something we need to figure out how to get a handle on culturally, and start stigmatizing, because nobody can "engage" with a mob to defend themselves. It's why even if you're only "Internet famous" and you're running a blog with thousands of readers, you can't afford to spend even a second a day on each of your readers. It's not really an "elite" problem.
I am completely out of the loop and hove no idea what the project is about, but apparently every one on the KS page is basically saying that they couldn't care less about this feature. I'm curious now at what really happened and why they shut it down, if their biggest hurdle is something so few people want.
SendPolice API
One of the executives' pages on LinkedIn says he manages 30 employees at the company. If true, it must have gotten some kind of venture funding, since the $500k they raised on Kickstarter is nowhere near enough to run a company that size for over a year.
It is much easier to make those centralized power generation sources green than it is to make all of the cars on the road just a small margin greener. If you are in the US then those electricity has rapidly changed from dirty coal to cleaner gas and a growing percentage of renewable over the past decade.
Adrian might have mentioned an important drawback of using LLVM: active effort is required to keep up with it. Many an LLVM-based research project has gotten stuck on 2.9 or 3.2 at which point it starts becoming less and less relevant.

It's not that big of a deal, but active effort is required. The amount of effort depends on how many and which APIs your project uses; for a small/medium project perhaps a couple of hours every couple of weeks.
Honest question, what is reverse racism? If I act racist against the dominate race? That's racism again, no? I'm minority myself so I could potentially do that and in my own internal moral system it feels wrong.
It's being revived as "cloud" "apps" fall victim to this law. Cases in point: Google, Facebook.
It wasn't "drive-by" it was directly related to the topic. Please don't post any further insulting condescending comments.
Why not both (at least on OSX and Windows)? Build packages where the users are. Even in the scientific space, many of your users build packages using pip.
And pointing out the reason why the link made it to the front page of HN will get you downvoted. I am enjoying watching my karma fall.
"Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop"

Hahaha. I mean, this is the world we live in now?

I've always been puzzled by the concept of "reverse racism". As far as I can remember I've only heard this term in America (I've lived in 4 different countries before). I've always found that it was a perfect illustration of doublethink. I mean, people realize that "reverse racism" is actually racism right?
The poor, nor the California economy couldn't take on another tax on gasoline?

A lot of guys(including politicians, and the people who fund them) like their collector's cars/trucks. They want to drive that 455 Oldsmobile convertible on the weekends without gouging the wallet? (Collector car enthusiast are a big group of people, across all income levels. "Just try to pry my '65 Corvette from my cold, dead hands?"

California provides a big demand for the sales of automobiles; the legislature knows they can tell carmaker's what to do? I couldn't imagine being the guy who lost the sales rights to California? Not fair, but in this case I not crying over the car companies.(Car companies will get my sympathy when they start manufacturing cars that owners/independent shops can easily work on, or at least have access to the proprietary programs? I don't think I will buy a new car until I can have complete access to your programming? I buy your car. I buy your programming too--because I need to clean it up in so many cases? Seal off Emmissions--fine. Give me access to everything else?

(This is a note to CARB: right now you only require Emmission shops to have one reference on hand to verify smog requirements. Most shops take the cheep route and buy Motor Emmission publications.(The publication is filled with errors. Technicians and customers know this. Many smog customers are sent home with failed visual component tests, but smog compliant automobiles. There are mistakes in Volvo's, BMW's and Toyota(88 toyota's, air aspirated, do Not have an MIL light). These are just the mistakes I ran across. It took at least three emails to Emission Publications Ltd. for them to respond to my complaints about errors in their publications. They literally argued with me? They didn't know the difference between natural aspirated(carburetor), and FI(Fuel injection)? I was floored!

Require the smog shops to have access to two Emmission references? Ondemand5(Mitchell manuals) is a good alternative, and I have yet to found an error in it.)

Creating the future of interaction design tools.

You should have a subset of skills in JavaScript, Objective-C, C, WebGL, OpenGL, Python, Ruby. Experience with WebKit internals, Graphics Programming, Skia, Physics Engines and Code Parsing are a plus. A strong Computer Science background is also a plus, but we also hire great self-taught people with work to show for it.
Try that on Windows for anything with compiled C bits. Curse a lot. Give up on pip and use easy_install. Which works. Maybe. If you're lucky.
API are OK but they are tedious to implement. You have to discover the good way to manage each subsystem.

I think of something more low level for a VM that could run inside a web worker (or in the main thread).

It's visible interface could be (with ArrayBuffer):

- an address space for a virtual framebuffer

- an address space for a virtual disk

- i/o with ports for sockets, mouse, keyboard ...

With that, we could use existing OS. There is too much case to implement all the existing API and each case can be complicated and have implicit assumptions.

For example, instead of mapping fopen() paths to localStorage or URLs in XHR, we could implement an existing hadware API for disk storage.

Instead of implementing SDL, implement a VGA memory.

I think it is more reliable to use on the lowest interface and you can reuse all the stack (from the kernel, to GNOME and Firefox, all inside the browser).

The rules of mapping what to what will be defined outside the VM. The browser could be in charge of these rules.

The rules are:

- save this address space to localStorage (or IndexDB)

- send this address space in XHR (or websocket)

- put this address space to this canvas (with putImageData())

I had this idea after reading a spec of a VM for a Forth:

http://retroforth.org/docs/The_Ngaro_Virtual_Machine.html#i-...

I'm not criticizing your work nor emscripten at all. I'm a big fan :-)

It's more about making the things simpler, get rid of the complexity, increase the features and liberate everybody of the burden of mapping native API to Web API. It's like Cygwin vs qemu/kvm.

I'd like to help emscripten and I see that.
I'd wager that the authors of this code of conduct subscribe to the "prejudice plus power" definition of racism.

MapD (http://www.mapd.com) is a Google Ventures/Nvidia backed startup that builds a hyper-fast big data analytics visualization platform that takes advantage of the massive parallelism and high memory bandwidth of GPUs. We literally can run SQL queries orders of magnitude faster than other systems and since the results are on the GPUs, we easily visualize the result sets or feed them into machine learning pipelines. We’re looking for:

Backend Developer - Someone with strong experience in C++ and database/systems programming. Knowledge of CUDA/OpenCL, X64 Optimization, and/or OpenGL a major plus.

Frontend Developer – Someone with lots of experience with D3.js, preferably also with Crossfilter.js and WebGL/Three.js. Needs to have good design sense and significant data visualization background. Knowledge of WebWorkers and WebSockets a plus.

We’re a small but growing team with deep knowledge of databases and GPU Programming. Benefits and equity are competitive ($100K-$130K / 0.5-1%).

Please email jobs@mapd.com if you're interested!

I don't think Armpit is abandoned. There was an update just before Christmas. It's not developed in the open, sadly.

I can't imagine it's that high. Are you under the impression that Google is a highly selective employer? Maybe ten years ago it was. There's a high volume of people for whom passing the Google interview is a complete triviality. This has been the case for 5+ years now.
I'm not sure exactly what they mean by "reverse racism". The obvious opposite of discriminating based on race is treating people equally without regard for their race.

If by "reverse racism" they mean "discriminating against members of racial groups which are usually not the victims of racism"... well, I really hope they've talked to their lawyers about that. In Canada a company which announced that they would protect or not protect their customers from racism based on their race would be up against the human rights commission in an instant.
The packaged distributions are definitely a blessing, when introducing beginners to Python. Even when package installation goes swimmingly, it still takes effort. And it's handy to keep just one big installer on a flash drive for putting Python on non-networked computers. Since I use Python for lab work, I often have it running on several computers at once.

Do you have to set up DNS or anything like that?

Other than that, you also need to use or run your own DB or use a hosted solution. That can also be done by a script, but even spending 30 minutes setting up a server and a db is a lot of time when you have a matter of hours to start and demo a project.
This isn't the issue.

Wheels and Conda are almost completely orthogonal. Conda is a higher level abstraction than pip. Wheels is operating at the lowest level of abstraction.

Multiple package management tools are relatively fine. Having multiple competing format standards (egg vs wheel vs lots of other options) would be a disaster.

(For reference, there's .deb versus .rpm, but also dpkg versus apt-get versus yum versus up2date versus...)
The argument against "reverse racism" is that racism is "prejudice plus power" so while many minorities may be prejudice they don't have power to act on it.
I felt that article was a little one sided. It's not just that men are deciding to wear the same thing all year long. It's expected of us. I worked in a government office where we were required to wear a suit and tie every day. And this was in FL. I would have loved to worn shorts or something lighter.

I've also never understood why women just don't dress for the indoor climate. If men are expected to dress like that then why can't the women put on another layer.

There's only so many layers I can take off and stay in the dress code.
I'd be happy to discuss those articles with any concerned applicants.
Do you think 1480 is a good score?
Fair enough, and my bad for not using the term statistical significance correctly. But we agree that it's entirely possible to have statistical significance that's completely meaningless. Lies, damn lies, and statistics. This is especially true for health studies, and very common with studies that show so-called gender differences when what's really happening is the variation among individuals of a single gender is larger than the detected variation between sexes. Then a result with a small sample size is really just noise and an attempt to publish a paper for the sake of publishing a paper by some academics with questionable competence or morals (or both.)
Simple arithmetic and function definition are simple enough to follow, but the iteration and conditionals seem clunky.

Also, I think there's a typo on this page because the images doesn't seem to match the equation (or I'm not understanding the mapping between code and graphics): http://web.onetel.com/~hibou/fmj/tutorials/Functions.html

This reads as a SJW document, so they probably don't subscribe to that belief.

Also, they already have "Offensive comments related to ... gender, ..., race" on there, so it might be a non-issue.
Unless a minority rejects a commit or contribution from a non-minority on the basis of gender or race, then I'm not sure how this CoC resolves that (admittedly absurd hypothetical.)

What is 'reverse' sexism or racism? Isn't that just sexism and racism? Whether you're oppressed or not has nothing to do with how the culture generally treats you. If you're being oppressed you're being oppressed in a single scenario/instance. There do exist general trends on who is oppressed and who is oppressing, and those are worth talking about and being aware of, but I wouldn't ever go as far to say that the existence of trends justifies marking any complaint that doesn't follow those trends as invalid.

Am I taking crazy pills?
That's odd, cause I just left a job where I was juggling 4 programming languages on a weekly bases (AS3, Go, PHP, JS) and I was getting paid shit (sub 50k). I tried and tried to find a programming job, but nobody wanted me, so I ended up going computer security. Love the new job, love the field, but you can't tell me that there's nobody in the US that has the skills and want somewhat decent pay. I was one of those people, and no one wanted me.

This is far and above my favorite post on python wheels from the guy who wrote Flask, bits of Sphinx, and jinja2 to name a few, Armin Ronacher:

http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/1/27/python-on-wheels/

I switched our webapp deployment from using sdists from an internal pypi instance (yay cheeseshop!) to using wheels built on the server and the time to install some things such as lxml, or numpy, went from 20 minutes-ish to 20-30 seconds. Python wheels are fantastic.
I've heard it used often in conjunction with benefits given to minorities. For example, a university offering a scholarship for African Americans is sometimes criticized for being reverse racist.

Why is no one taking this field by storm if it's actually a more practical solution?

Because there isn't as much money in it as in ginormous megaprojects? E.g. the "train to nowhere"[1] in California had the support of a Teamster leader because:

The legislators in Sacramento got it right
when they voted to fund this project since
it will help hundreds of people find good
union jobs

and his quote continues

and the high speed rail line will provide
a viable alternative to car and plane travel
in the state.

I don't think that HSR from Madera California to Bakersfield California will be a "viable alternative" to anything.

a catchphrase ... which suggests a money trail

Same with water. Too many dollars at stake, and too many special interests, for simple commonsense solutions to be "practical".

As I understand it, it's still the same standard.

The distributions that I've used, unpack themselves to look just like a mainstream installation, including pip. So, if you have to install a missing package, you still do so in the same way. The distributions just give you a head start.
