We can act like this is an issue of social services or redistribution or other cool left wing causes, but this is simply an issue of arithmetic. If we want to house more people, we need more houses. In spite of what you read in the newspapers, there is no construction boom:

Either build more houses or accept that some people will go without.

Of course, the constitution is just a piece of paper, and what's protecting the rights in practice is a political system (especially courts) that tries hard to keep them.

Most of the rights already come pre-holed with exceptions, though. And lots of them contradict each other. There's lots of leeway, to justify a very wide range of policies as different `tradeoffs' between the rights.
A higher cost for context switching. Lots of people work on apps with lots of i/o, and there is a long history of coroutine/callback/green thread architectures beating the pants off of thread per request architectures.

I always found it weird when employers wanted to start a relationship entirely adversarially. I also found it weird when businesses identified employees as a significant and therefore negative cost center.

Employees are life blood. If they aren't, get rid of them and get new life blood - but being so standoffish and adversarial is the antithesis of what an employer/employee relationship should be.
Great dude Markus. Happy to see him in HN
I don't understand why you're doing a bottom-up analysis when the data on actual indebtedness is readily available and it's about $30k: http://ticas.org/posd/map-state-data

In actuality, I think even that statistic s overstated because it's the average debt of students with debt when 3/10 students graduate debt-free. Taking into account those with a debt of $0, the actual average debt is closer to $20k.

> This obviously isn't the outcome we want, and represents a huge waste.

Speak for yourself. I personally think it's entirely reasonable that people should work at least part-time to pay for their education and it's been happening for generations. I've personally worked full-time for most of university and definitely think it has enriched my education a lot more than joining some silly clubs or a sports team.

Top 5 Smart Watches of 2015
Go is not very much like c. Pointers are very close to reified addresses, but much of their use comes from manual memory management. If you have to use GC, its not clear what you gain from the semantic similarities with c. Furthermore, it is a prescriptive ecosystem that is quite restrictive. The runtime is not very friendly to ffi. It is not a suitable systems language due to the GC and associated complexities (interfaces should not mandate GC roots).

For anyone curious as to why "the studios" are not giving their titles to Netflix is because they are developing their own, independent Netflix's (i.e. Comcast is has internet TV at tvgo.xfinity.com).
I see what you did there.
> If the options are 4 years making okay money or 4 years likely accumulating debt, after which you're at the same income level either way, why would anyone in their right mind go to college?

I can only speak to my experience, but most of my friends in college worked while they were in school, and eventually got decent paying internships their junior and senior years. I think most of us had to take out loans, but I know I was able to pay mine off less than 2 years out of school, and I think most people did. 4 years in school isn't necessarily accumulating a lot of debt. And it wouldn't surprise me if the person with the CS degree still enough extra money to account for student loans.

Of course that's assuming the person in question is pretty smart (and they better be if they're considering skipping college) and can get at least some kind of financial aid or scholarship money. It's also assuming they're not insisting on a big name school.
When every one thinks alike, no one is thinking. I welcome frugalists who do not want to own home or pay rent, even though that is not my lifestyle. I see their point. Different strokes for different folks.

I had a similar feeling the moment I started seeing browsers hide the protocol in the URL bar as much as possible. The protocol is important and I didn't like them munging the protocol and address together.
I agree with your points but at the same time their UI is now so easy to navigate that my not so tech savvy 70 year old dad can use Netflix without ever calling me and asking me any questions. So my guess is, Netflix is trying to be more like a preprogrammed TiVo with lots of content than trying to appeal to the super users that may want those features.

As a man I can't claim any real authority, but the tech scene here in Wellington does seem relatively free from the worst kinds of sexist behaviour you hear about elsewhere.

Hopefully that is actually the case, and it's not just my ignorance talking...
I first discovered this flexibility signing up for a simple warehouse laboring job while I was a student. It had a "don't work in our industry for a year" type clause. I expressed some concern about that and the boss just crossed it out. These things look formal and rigid but they're not set in stone.
You can't actually run a JS framework faster from within the JVM than you can in V8. And if you're writing all your code in Scala, then you're losing the productivity benefits of having a real UI framework written in JS.
Gig City Sandy: Home of the $60 Gig[abit Internet]
Underrated post that will probably get ignored.
Yes, homelessness is a problem but they definitely could have chosen a more sympathetic "victim."

While $15k is by no means a gigantic income, it's enough to live on as a single person in most parts of the country. Nobody is entitled to a job as a "photographer" in the most expensive city in the country—if you can't make ends meet, try doing something else somewhere else. Not buying $200 shoes (5x what I've ever spent on shoes) would be a good start.

Why does the media continue to insist on using the least sympathetic faces for societal problems? (See also the fixation on the "plight" of students who have loans from top-tier colleges when the far more endemic problem is people who spend thousands on useless degrees from for-profit universities.)
We provide API integration solutions along the lines of other companies. We have not been around as long as Catalyze (which does a very good job) but are experts in FHIR, and have an infrastructure that may be more multi-party friendly.

We have a pretty cool multi-tenant database solution that hospital parties could pool data into with highly granular authentication, access control, and auditability at both the db and API levels. No one else offers this yet, but it also may be more robust than the hospitals understand enough to care about.

Happy to discuss if you are interested at the commercial site listed in my profile. Also happy just to share our experiences in similar situations, or make recommendations for other more simple solutions on your own stack. Good luck!

I couldn't find it in the documentation, but am I right that this only works with full images docker-style, rather than mapped host filesystem? (like novm could)
I genuinely wonder who has a better brand image among the general population, between Comcast and Netflix.
I agree with that viewpoint (major cities need to stop constricting the housing supply), but arguably it's also a problem of demand entitlement.

There are places in this country where he could have bought a small house with the $30k buy-out he got. Living in an expensive city and working in an artistic profession is a choice.
No, the context switching overhead tends to be minimal if you're using a well-tuned kernel. You're doing a context switch to the kernel for I/O in the first place, and in a green thread model you have to do a userspace context switch in addition to the context switch the kernel imposes to get back into your scheduler.
There are fascinating parallels between this debate and the debate on the size, economic development and political cohesion of the Palestinian population before the establishment of modern day Israel.
How similar to Ruby are they aiming for? Is it possible it will run Rails one day?
Looks very cool. Always loved Ruby, but went to other languages for reasons of speed and ... well, lack of the crufty parts.

But...the fact that it's been bootstrapped means that getting it up and running on Windows will be a bit more of a challenge than if it were written in something that can just be built on Windows (C? Go?). I did find this:

https://github.com/manastech/crystal/issues/26

...but the effort seems to have stalled.

Cross-compilation would fix the bootstrapping problem, and is also important for its own sake; for building code that runs on ARM, for instance (for Android, iOS, etc.).

Looks like neither Windows support or cross-compilation have any advocates on the core team, which is sad.
Einstein Was Boring Before He Was Brilliant
I would guess that this is a tough sell because people really, really want to test furniture out for comfort before buying it. Plus, furniture is expensive, and tends to be a long-term purchase. People are gonna be reluctant to fork out a few thousand bucks unless you've got a good reputation already.

The question I had immediately was "what happens if I don't like it"? Your return policy could maybe be more prominent. I understand that it would be hard/expensive to offer free return shipping, but you could certainly make it more clear that you do accept returns.

Other than that, I dunno... maybe something that lets them upload a picture of their room and see what the furniture would look like in place?

I'm surprised no one has created a BCPL front end for LLVM. The grammar is probably pretty straightforward to implement.
No. All of your pre-tax IRA accounts across all custodians are used when figuring out the taxes of the backdoor Roth. However, if you have a 401k at your current job that has good investments you may be able to roll your IRA into you 401k plan. That will clear out all the IRA assets to give you a $0 figure when performing the backdoor.
Not a troll.

I don't know what I'd use instead, I gave up Linux-only years ago, and now use a Linux VM for development, Mac for everything else. Also, networking through the Mac is still simpler, at least for now. I know that Linux has some media apps, but I use them so little that I really can't compare. However, my sense is that Linux apps get better over time, and Apple apps are definitely getting worse. If current trends continue, the lines will cross.
I feel one could have more ambitious goals. E.g. Could Github build a powerful developers careers site based on all the data they have? Could they provide more tools to help people program? (Could they automatically create programs? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9973088)
The "beauty of Ruby" part is self evident, assuming you find Ruby beautify.

Is there any documentation to back up the "Faster than Go" statement? I compiled and tested the HTTP server example, and pounded on it with ab. I don't have enough time tonight do an in depth comparison, but it doesn't seem much faster than Go.

On the plus side: the binaries are nice and small, and the memory usage is low.
A number of companies are hosted on Aptible that are not only in production, but doing well. The same goes for Catalyze.

In general, though, yes, whether or not the solutions will suffice comes down to the arbitrary decision of an administrator who probably doesn't understand the underlying tech issues. That will start changing soon though.

Aww. Is there any news on a standard (NIST, or just informal RFC) on an authenticated encryption mode for KECCAK? I remember seeing a presentation of KECCAK at passwords[1] -- and I thought that part looked the most fun ;-)

Then just buy the index fund. I can buy an index fund that has fees of 0.2%. If the managed fund has fees of 1.2% that means it needs to beat the index by at least 1% to come out even. If you can beat an index by 1% while trying to replicate an index, then you're either a genius or cheating.

The numbers are even worse if it's in a taxable account. That means you need to beat both the management fee and the taxes because you'll end up paying taxes for all the turnover too.
This is what puzzled me, too.

One explanation is that the media prefer to write about subjects and people that are divisive and polarizing. This way they maximize discussion, linking and visits.

I this particular case our "victim" is chosen so as to create two opposing emotional reactions. On the one hand, if your aspirations and values are close to his, then you're likely to sympathize with his struggles. On the other, if they're not, you're more likely to consider him rather entitled.
He also "proved" (incorrectly) that graphite was not an appropriate moderator. Which ruled out bombs pretty much entirely.

In hindsight, he was actually blatantly incorrect. Dude knew it was possible and convinced the rest of the German scientists it wasn't, for long enough to make a difference. If you read between the lines, he's almost gloating in that transcript.

"On the other hand the whole heavy-water business, which I did everything
I could to further, cannot produce an explosive."

"We wouldn't have had *the moral courage* to recommend to the government
in the spring of 1942 that they should employ 120,000 men just for
building the thing up."

"The point is that the whole structure of the relationship between
the scientist and the state in Germany was such that although we
were not *100% anxious* to do it, on the other hand we were so
little trusted by the state that *even if we had wanted to do it*,
it would not have been easy to get it through."

"Well, that's not quite right. I would say that I was absolutely
convinced of the possibility of our making a uranium engine,
*but I never thought we would make a bomb, and at the bottom of
my heart I was really glad that it was to be an engine and not a
bomb. I must admit that*."

That's a Bill Gates level of finely-parsed deposition right there.
And yet they still fail to address the most irritating aspect of their video UI -- all too often the video timeline controls remain visible while movies are playing and don't go away.

There are two photo apps? Seriously, I'm not aware of this. I'm talking about "Photos" whose logo is eight ovals of color arranged in a circle. (The fact that this confusion is even possible is part of the problem.)

My experience is that I take a photo on my phone. It shows up in some albums that seem to have recent content but not others. The time lags are unpredictable, so I have taken to syncing manually.
How to Determine If Something Is Good
I'm very impressed to see a new (although it's only new to me) language presented so well. It's well documented, has an in-depth technical blog full of milestones. Oh, and it's totally bootstrapped which is a sign (for me) of being a "real" language. I wish I had the skills and determination to see through a project of this scale.

I'd like to see more things like this on HN.
Can it center vertically?
I have no interest in the hubris of shorting into a raging bull market,

Read what he wrote: he stated that if you believe what you wrote, you can collect the spread by shorting side you claim underperforms, and going long on the side you claim outperforms.

If what you said is true, it's extraordinarily low-risk arbitrage.

If what you said is false, you're best served to say a bunch of bullshit that 's unrelated and then not make the trade.

Oh... I see... so you know you're full of shit.
They're your colleagues... surely you'd have a better idea which ones are hackers and which aren't than I would?
More: maybe have some inexpensive pieces shown on the front page. I'd be a lot more likely to risk a hundred buck end table than a $2,000 sofa. The higher-end items would be a lot easier to sell after an initial purchase.

Most of your bookcases, end tables, etc. are listed as "coming soon".
I think it goes to LLVM IR rather than C. It does it's own type inference, so compiling to C after that would preclude many optimizations that it could take advantage of.

Perhaps his post was downvoted because he made a strong assertion - "the compiler is fast because it doesn't check for things that other compilers do" without elaborating or providing any evidence. This is the first time that I've seen someone complain about deficiencies in the compiler too, so that adds a little skepticism.

Could you elaborate on the static analysis that you find lacking?
Hi, author here.

Apologies for not making this more clear in the post. The 70% reduction is for time to interactive (tti).
Pause times are better than 1 sec/GB with CMS and (by all reports) a lot better with G1. We have a service running an 8GB heap and using CMS and I want to say that it has < 100 ms pauses, definitely < 1s.

With a 64TB heap, the question isn't "is it better?" but "is pause time O(1)?" I can't recall what the Azul collector does, but I think G1 has some kind of linear behavior that would make it unusable on a heap that big.

I don't want to be Pollyannaish, but it is true that as time goes on, people will keep developing technology for handling large heaps. G1 was not fully supported until Java 7 and will probably be the default in Java 9. Meanwhile there's another low pause collector that Red Hat is working on (http://www.infoworld.com/article/2888189/java/red-hat-shenan...).
I just wish that misrepresenting someone's legal rights or the enforceability of a contract were itself illegal.
5:30 in they talk about benchmarks.
So since you're talking about scalability into the millions of threads, I think what you actually want is stackless coroutines rather than M:N threading with separate user-level stacks. If you have 1M threads, even one page of stack for each will result in 4G of memory use. That's assuming no fragmentation or delayed reclamation from GC. Stacks, even when relocating, are too heavyweight for that kind of extreme concurrent load. With a stackless coroutine model, it's easier to reason about how much memory you're using per request; with a stack model, it's extremely dynamic, and compilers will readily sacrifice stack space for optimization behind your back (consider e.g. LICM).

Stackless coroutines are great--you can get to nginx levels of performance with them--but they aren't M:N threading as seen in Golang. Once you have a stack, as Erlang and Go do, you've already paid a large portion of the cost of 1:1 threading.
Can also go up to $53K with after tax employee contributions, which can be rolled out into a Roth IRA upon separation from the employer.
