It's understandably a little difficult to extract all of the relevant context out of that thread in the issue tracker, but the current consensus is indeed that this feature should be built with a plugin system--on top of the database's existing query language and feature set.

The plugin system will provide a sort of middleware layer alongside the database so that we don't have to bake in a lot of things that are domain specific or only relevant to particular use cases.

There's more discussion about the plugin system here: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/4785

"frequent enough that putting a CPU to sleep is completely out of the question"

Modern CPUs have many different levels of "going to sleep" and many of them can be switched in and out of very quickly.
This looks really exciting, and I can't wait to try it. I think it will be very helpful for my business.
It doesn't work like that, unfortunately. You can't use your SD as extensions of your device storage capacity, it can store just "your" files (as photos, musics, videos etc). You still need device capacity to install apps and apps use device to store things like cache.

You can move some of that to SD, but not everything. You'll end up with zero phone capacity and a pretty empty SD.
Alternote is what the official Evernote client should been. It's the only thing that keeps me on Evernote, since the official client is horrible and slow.

Let's hope Evernote stops messing around with useless features like "Work Chat" and start improving their clients instead. It's kinda silly that a third party can make a client vastly better and more pleasant to use than the official one.

On Nexus 4, this is disappointing.

Nexus 6 is too big.

Finger print is not a big deal. They steal your finger print you can't exactly change it. I also get cuts from my fingers when I work out so bandaid and all that would suck badly if I need to verify via fingerprint.

SD card is something I really want not the cloud. Not everybody got unlimited data or even good signal.

There are tons of people that takes pictures, videos and selfies that would like to have a large memory (sd enable this).

All they had to do was a good camera, good battery, fast charge and sd card. The screen could be amoled for bonus.

I have to skip this phone now. Waiting to see black berry priv.

Moto X pure is seems good but their parent company Lenovo got caught with spyware on mobile and laptop (thinkpad included). That's very sketchy.
OneNote is now completely free and available on iOS as well (where it has a full 5-star rating). As much I love Evernote, it's going to be an uphill battle for them.
(And not to mention the handwriting experience and integration with the Surface Pen - which are killer features for students)
Have you submitted it as a feature request to their support? I get the feeling they just don't have enough people asking for it.
The design of the Nexus 5 has a razor thin plastic bezel surrounding the edge of the screen glass. Minor bumps push through the plastic and crack the glass from the edge where the glass is weakest. The push for thin phones and tiny bezels is a cancer on phone design.

Setting aside the fact that US intelligence agencies can and will subvert foreign servers with impunity, foreign intelligence agencies operate with less oversight within their own borders than the US agencies do within its borders AND they tend to cooperate with US agencies (or, worse, Russia's or China's).
On the one hand, Musk has been known to exaggerate timelines. All of Tesla's cars have ended up being released behind schedule (the first Model X cars are being delivered tonight, multiple years late). I doubt we'll really have fully autonomous Teslas in three years.

On the other hand, there is one interesting, unique aspect to the approach that Tesla is taking: their cars all have internet access, and could potentially learn from each other. Within a year they're going to have partial autonomous driving on over 100k cars in the wild, which is going to allow Tesla to generate an enormous amount of training data very quickly.

I'm no expert, so I don't really know how valuable this kind of data would be for building new autonomous driving systems, but it seems like it could have the potential to dramatically accelerate their progress in this area.

Ask HN: What do you want in a text editor?
I'm making a simple open-source text editor (Qt5 wrapper around pandoc, markdown) intended more for journalists, academics and students than web developers -- so it has things like reference support and easy adaption of different citation styles baked in, accurate wordcounts, a distraction free mode, etc. Themes and previewing, as well as pdf creation without tex are already included, and pandoc means almost any output format is trivially easy to implement.

But what features would you like to see added to this list? Draft has its Hemingway mode, for example. What's missing from text editors you think you'd really like?
Because the Nexus phones use it, and it's easier to have one standard across your devices (where possible)?

Just my guess.
Think of it like this , in near future (maybe in 2016 holiday) you can buy device with Tegra X1 processor which is almost power full as low end desktop device (which I have 3 of them and I run ARCH on them ). Okay ? but the fun part comes here, these devices after two year will become obsolete , you know why ? not because of their hardware , because their hardware will be more than enough for running ordinary tasks , just because fucking big names like Google,Samsung,etc don't want you to keep your device long enough .

The problem with old devices was their lack of power for new increasing computing even for ordinary people (because this industry was infant). But ARM architecture based SoC and embedded CPU will pass (or passing/passed) a threshold . After this threshold you will be able to run ordinary app (I am not talking about high end 3d 4k gaming, I am talking about browsing internet,chatting , reading) for daily usage maybe for 5 year or even more.
but your device will become obsolete , because of these thief's . ( I hate how big corporation ripping people off )

Let me give you an instance , you can have a pc desktop with 2gb ram from 2008 . If you are using your device for reading and ordinary job I bet you can install windows 10-32bit (which is state of art) on it and use it without any serious issue . This is the problem with whole ecosystem of Gadgets. Even if you buy a device with tegra x1 SoC(which is powerful as shit) , You should throw it away after 2 year , or you are sticking to old version of android (put aside how much security threat it has) .They can develop a solution for this problem with spending money. But why spending money when they can rip off people ?
Right. Tesla's battery to electric motor is about 90% efficient now. Not much improvement potential there.

I think that depends on how you define "doxing." Yes, you're identifying a person's real information. On the other hand, malicious "doxing" usually means publishing phone number, address, kid's name, personal email address, Facebook, etc.

I think there's a clear difference between correlating a pseudonym to a real-life identity, and malicious "doxing" that could cause harm.

My own research was partly working to integrate LISP's and imperative programming. Seeing it already happen some way in Julia is totally awesome! I'll have more praise for it in the future I see. Ok, for dependent types, it doesn't have dependent types but one or more pieces of that capability? Maybe more once I've read the linked pages.

Thanks for the answer and links!

Edit: Just read the debate. I agree with 'tel' that the phrase dependent types has such a specific meaning, capabilities, and whole literature devoted to it that nobody should use it unless it's consistent. The Google search point was especially smart. Per that discussion, not my own analysis of Julia, Julia doesn't have dependent types & it's good they took that phrase off the site. Its different enough to justify a custom term to promote its usefulness while not misleading.
I forgot to mention that I think the labor theory of value is a complete crock and I can't understand why the radical left keeps punching itself in the face with it.

I don't quite follow your argument (or if we're disagreeing). However, if they are allegedly infringing on version 6 of Java, how would follow-up infringements of versions 7 and 8 not be foolhardy? They are better off staying on Java 6 and eventually leaving Java altogether or only updating Java versions upon prevailing in Court (which might take a long while, appeals considered)
Thank you. I found that to be a perfect refresher before reading the article in this story.

Does anyone know if there's a plan to move rusts own parser to a rust native tool? Now it apparently uses antlr4 along with some custom rust code:

Considering about half the US population makes less than that, I think you're perspective might be a little warped.

http://horizoncu.onyourway.com/62-of-american-jobs-pay-less-...

That's a solid job to most people. Granted, issues like benefits, hours, and whether you really make that much are in doubt, but those numbers are certainly something to hang your hat on.

My guess is that those are estimates including tips, so the reality would be lower for many.

People use pseudonyms for a reason. Deanonymizing them can cause them harm, ranging from getting fired to getting arrested to causing severe social strife. Not your decision to make.
Ah, fair enough. Thanks for taking the time to explain :).
Chromecast has guest mode now, you can set up without being on the same WiFi network.
Just out of curiosity I tried adding a couple of lines of code to Nemo to force it to use its mul_ks for the first benchmark. This was actually way slower. I didn't look into why.

That first benchmark is pretty dense, so it's not at all unreasonable to use KS.

On the other hand, if we force it to use KS for Z[x][y][z][t] down to Z[x][y], then classical down to Z[x], then Flint for Z[x] itself, it gets marginally faster, with 40.6s.

Clearly neither of these approaches is an optimal strategy, as the Maple timings show.

It's funny, because I'd consider your comment 90% noise. You took 3 paragraphs to say nothing more than "I hate noise." You did a good job at making yourself sound superior though. It sounds like your ideal commenting environment is a bunch of people trying to one-up each other being hypercritical, never really saying much.
I'd add that the potential is worse than just getting fired. This could cause a fall in the stock price and a subsequent lawsuit.

FedEx marked one of my packages as delivered but it didn't show up until 6 days later (the replacement arrived on the same day...). I assume someone just forgot about it on the truck, since the other one was actually delivered on time.
Related: Andrew Wylie, who controls the estates of Susan Sontag, Italo Calvino, and others, was in talks with Balcells to merge their agencies (http://qz.com/507983/super-agent-andrew-the-jackal-wylie-may...).

Not knowing Balcells, I assumed this article would be about Sontag, who was known for introducing many key U.S. literary figures to Latin American writers.

Applying for TC Disrupt London and trying to plan next steps for a travel app I am working on
I skimmed the video by listening to 20 or so seconds every few minutes of the video, so forgive me if my take away missed out on something. This is what I got from it:

Change workflow from string (Person A takes Issue A, Person B takes Issue B, Person C takes Issue C) to a "swarm" (Issue A taken by People [A-C], Issue B taken by People [D-F])

Multiple eyes pass the code = more bugs caught. Social pressure to be working on the project (group of 4-5 people). If things fall too far behind, revert to "string" method of each person working on an individual issue.

Results in less time wasting (FB/Twitter) due to social pressure. Some study said a pair of 2 is the most productive, but they feel the social pressure is too high in that scenario, hence group of 4-5 to relieve social pressure while maintaining the benefits of collaborative work.

Not worth the time. Not all that interesting. Mostly saying stuff that many "lean startups" have learned. That pair coding increases productivity. They just applied this to their queue instead of only new features or something.
The FAA has a lot of power to wield against private pilots and they don't want to lose it. They don't particularly care how much it stifles General Aviation.

>When you rideshare a single-engine piston plane, there is a question of your life.

And that's pretty obvious. People are adults they can make decisions for themselves.

The only legitimate (IMO) concern that the FAA has in this is that there will be some people who will try to operate their own little mini-illegal charter service. The path of least effort for the FAA is simply to prevent anything that has even the slightest whiff of commerce.
It makes more sense to run Android; a tablet without apps isn't nearly as useful.
Tesla doesn't make prototypes and go to car shows because they did away with the yearly update model. Instead they are constantly adding new features and improvements to the car instead of waiting for some big update. So you might get a car today that has something a car made yesterday doesn't have.
Thanks. I will improve experience for sure. I can avoid calling DB if I use output cache instead of Redis but output cache won't work in all cases.
* Why would it have to go home? It could just drive out of town to any cheap loitering lot.

* Why not put it to work. It could transport people or packages during that time.

* Mostly, in such a future, you probably won't own a car. You'll rent or lease access, and the price to take a nice autonomous mini-bus will be super low while remaining convenient.
“Stop Spotify from waking computer up”
If true, this fills in a lot of details to previous coverage and confirms the U.S. involvement which was suspected for years, not to mention answering why they'd put so much effort into compromising Greece.

Schneier gave it a bit of coverage when the story started to break back in 2006:

The average mainline long-haul speed of a freight train is probably around 50mph. The average speeds of freight trains are remarkably lower since trains spend a lot more time stopping (if you're dealing with local freight, you're going to be stopping every few miles to detach or attach a few train cars). Looking at <http://www.railroadpm.org/Performance%20Reports/BNSF.aspx>, the intermodal trains (which tend to be between major shipment terminals and not including local businesses) are averaging at ~30mph.
Thank you for sharing this, it could not have come at a better time for a little side project I've been cooking up.

Yup. Quoting Sarah Jeong's The Internet of Garbage:

"The strict 'hacker' definition of 'dropping dox,' as it was initially phrased, involves the publication of documentation (or 'docs'/'dox'). As Schneier points out, these can be addresses, phone numbers, financial information, medical records, emails, and so forth. The part where the definition of 'doxing' gets murky is that the word's prominent appearances in the media haven't involved dropping dox at all. Rather, it's come (sometimes!) to signify the unmasking of anonymous internet users without their consent. ....

"The idea that a 'full name' can constitute a dox represents an understanding that in some contexts, the publication of a legal name serves as an incitement to drop a full dox. Through Google and other databases, a full name can lead to other details...."

While I absolutely think no good would have come out of de-anonymizing SLJ, it wouldn't really be doxing (unless they had somehow attracted people that had an interest in attacking their home, embarrassing them in front of their employer, etc.).
> Do you think apple never supported SD cards because they wanted more people to put stuff in icloud?

Uhh... of course? Both companies charge extra for more space — Apple past 5GB and Google past 15GB. They make money by forcing you to upgrade your online storage.
When you say "that they talked about"...where were they talking? I can't find anything on the site about multi-room audio.
Pari is not used for elements of algebraic number fields. We use Antic for that.

I should point out we actually spent some time speeding up that particular benchmark. The others are much more raw.

Having said that, we have an even faster way of doing it which will be in Nemo 0.4.

It's worth noting though that Pari doesn't have Jit compilation, so it would still be possible to beat something written in Pari/GP for example.

One of the big things with complex functionality like that in Pari is that years of mathematical knowledge have gone into it. One can't come along with some tricks like Jit compilation and expect to beat it with some simple scripts. It actually took months of work on the Antic library to get faster algebraic number field element arithmetic than what was already in Pari, and that's trivial functionality compared to the rest of Pari.

The winning strategy isn't actually to reimplement the whole of Pari (or Singular, or Gap, etc.) but to use them for complex functionality that they are actually good at, and then either improve Pari itself, or implement something even better over time, say by extending Antic.
I was recently whining about the lack of a modern Sony VAIO P replacement.

If this has a built-in 4G/LTE modem, I may want one, especially if it is possible to run Linux on it (maybe via Deploy Linux?).

That's something else I recently whined about: why there is no 4G/LTE modem in any ultrabook (except for one or two unaffordable chromebooks not available in my country anyway)? It seems to be only in tablets and high-end 15" laptop. That makes no sense to me.
You have to wait for them to stop before you get out. The same is true albeit to a lesser degree for the Uber.
Fair point, it should be used for convenience, not for real security.
> Better screen? They're both bigger;

> So that's one downgrade

Two, and one critical. The Nexus 5 was absolutely the biggest phone I would consider, and even that was really too big. Making one phone a dinner plate and one phone a centimeter-larger dinner plate is atrocious.

Apparently only Sony wants my money (and honestly the Z Compact series is still too big).
> Google could have avoided all of this if they hadn't try to screw Sun.

Or, conversely, if they'd bought Sun instead of letting Oracle do so, stripped interesting IP (particularly, Java), and sold the rest back off (see, e.g., what they did with Motorola Mobility.)
Maybe you could add some constructive criticism in a few GitHub issues? I'd say these kinds of things are easier to fix earlier rather than later.
For a private pilot, unless the passengers share a common purpose for travel with the pilot, money isn't allowed to change hands, even if it is just "for fuel".

You would need at least a commercial pilot license for this type of transaction. (A CPL is a lesser license than an airline transport pilot license, which is what you need to work for an airline. The former only requires 100 hours of time.)
Is that 147 accidents with at least 1 fatality, or 147 fatalities?

I did a quick search, but there's more information there than I could sort through quickly.
On the other hand, nearly 100 people in the US die in car accidents every day... GA is definitely far riskier than commercial airlines, but driving also is.
I don't disagree with any of this... I just don't see what alternatives you have that are superior to what Google offers with the Nexus line.

Even the handsets that are sold on the idea of open source have spotty records when it comes to supported OTA updates beyond a year or so after release.

Given the lack of any ideal alternative, I'm personally sticking with Nexus devices and just going with unofficial builds of the OS when it makes sense to do so.
Not sure about other twitter famous anonaccounts, but @SwiftOnSecurity for example, used to have their real account pointed at SwiftOnSecurity, saying that he was the person managing it.

Now SwiftOnSecurity is so huge people who remember/know this don't really talk about it. I imagine a lot of these things that blow up start like SwiftOnSecurity and then the person realizes "I'm kind of getting a lot of visibility. It could really help me but it could really hurt me. Maybe I should keep this separate from myself".

Beyond basic opsec of keeping your mouth shut, nothing is really necessary...

Hi ecubed! In some version of Safari, there are missing some advanced HTML5 functionalities. In the newest versions, those functionalities are implemented but they are a bit buggy. We'll surely support Safari in the future!
Yeah, for me it is hard to take this at face value when Google has a vested interest in cloud storage from the standpoint of data analysis, platform lock-in, and subscription revenue.
