glium seems pretty cool (arguably still immature, but certainly not the joke of some wrappers I've seen where the examples/ directory just has adaptations of NeHe 1-5 or so, and anything else requires fiddling with the GL entry points yourself), but I'm not convinced that it's possible to both have low overhead and effectively enforce safety for something like OpenGL. Maybe tomaka will prove me wrong, but I suspect that the worst problems are in the DX/GL/driver stack.

Anyway, the general principle I'm trying to get at here is that when you're in a field that requires specialized expertise beyond general-purpose programming, the domain problems tend to get much, much bigger than the problems posed by generic "unsafe" operations. It's sort of an Amdahl's Law thing. Even a language that gets (lack of) pointers and array bounds checking and the like 100% correct can only possibly save 5% of your hair from being pulled out.
Is this the primary force behind a change such as this?

After watching the documentary called 'Life and Debt', I found the idea of "free trade" in poorer countries to be very different than i would have first thought. It seems free trade in the case of Jamaica resulted in a large import of goods, to the point where local Jamaica could not compete with the huge multinational corps from other countries.
> That would still make currencies far more stable than modern currencies.

Stability is not inherently good. Stable currencies that suffocate the economy because they do not allow for rapid enough expansion or reduction of the money supply are a burden. Another example would be the interwar years and great depression, were virtually all countries suspended the gold standard because it was simply impossible to uphold, and the economy recovered from it.
I'm not sure if 'picking apart Gemini's technical setup' is the right way to describe it, I tend to think of 'picking apart' being negative while the comments are entirely positive.

That's awesome. Please keep me updated as you get close to finishing - my email is in my profile.
Do you understand the concept of "national security"? If you were to invent, for example, teleporting, and you rejected selling your invention to the government, the most likely outcome would be that the government would confiscate your invention and recruit you against your will under threats of being jailed for risking "national security".

There is no such thing as justice other than "abide by the law".

Fine print: laws are subject to change, sometimes with good results by the perception of the majority of people, sometimes not.
Reddit still allows far more leeway than either of the others, but that's why I said "until recently" anyway. Reddit's PR problem was mostly formed prior to that though. Reddit became a place a lot of people only heard about when a story about child porn, upskirt pics, leaked celebrity nude photos, revenge porn, and other socially unacceptable material would make the wider press. The fact that they've made some tiny strides away from that now doesn't immediately fix the PR issue.

One Year with Apache Mesos – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I go so far as to say, starting a bit over two decades ago, that one of the "secrets" of Microsoft's success is their long term ability to write software that basically works. As I mention in another part of this subthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10352022), they beat their "Office" competitors in part by not losing that ability when all else but Borland did. (Borland didn't, but lost at higher levels of management, including buying one of those failed competitors.)

As far as I can tell, general management incompetence, including of course "political bullshit", is most responsible for their post-XP problems (along with becoming too toxic for healthy peer companies to want work with them, but I'm not sure that matters when enough of the people at the top are so bad).

Although ... what would you say was responsible for the failure of Longhorn? Wasn't that in part technical? Or did that derive from higher up?

At best a person might keep up with a sliver or two of the frontier and chase a few more. But the idea of being on a par with people Norvig and Moore and Cunningham and... all at the same time? Nobody can.

Good luck.

I found this example in the dataloader README useful, as it deals with loading from a SQL-based database, with relationships, which is similar to the first project I'm planning on trying it with:

This only works if you ignore reality. Scarcity will always exist. Even if you ignore human nature and assume that somehow the whole world will collaborate on natural resource allocation, scarcity will still exist.

Let's consider housing, for example. You'll of course say that everything is free so everyone will have a place to live, no worries. But who gets to decide who lives where? What if everyone wants to live in that nice piece of land with a view of the beach? So there you have it, scarcity.

Another example would be electricity, clearly another scarce resource. Where does the energy to fulfill everyone's desires for free stuff come from?

There is an even better example of a resource which will always be scarce, which is time. Given that people's time on earth is limited, we will still need to have our list of desires to be fulfilled according to each person's priorities. If I can travel the world for free, why would I waste my time working in the toilet paper factory?

> Whilst you hope to never have to encounter this limit, you can use policies such as 'one child per couple' when we need to reign in the size of the population.

Talk about nightmare world. I imagine you propose this will be decided by voting. Are you willing to hand off such a personal choice to a vote, or worse to the ruling bureaucrats? What will happen to couples who have more than their quota of children? Are they going to jail? Will they not get their rice quota for the extra child? What about equal opportunity rights? Maybe the parents from previous generations who had "too many" children should kill the excess so that the new generations have the rights to have children too...

> For example, a carpenter may want to make a wooden chair by hand, but may want a smartphone to be manufactured by others.

So just because he wants a smartphone to be manufactured for him, he'll go and ask for it and people will do it? Even if you assume that smartphones will be free (a pretty bold assumption considering that for that to happen, everything in the production chain has to be free too, from the software that runs on it to the work of people digging mines for lithium. How realistic is that?), who will manufacture these phones? Who will sacrifice their time to assemble a phone in exchange for nothing?

> Production will be based on demand.

Well no kidding, but you surely don't expect producers will produce just for the fun of it?

> Food would be free. All material goods would be free.

This does not compute. You said it yourself that resource usage has to be "optimized", because resources are scarce. So there's a price to them, even if you can't see it because there are no prices. You'll have to believe what the enlightened resource planners tell you. You'll have to have people controlling the quotas, and then who controls the quotas of the quota controllers?

I have watched the videos you posted. The first one has nothing to do with a money-less economy. In fact I'm sure that what he accomplished was only possible because money exists. Otherwise one wouldn't know if the work was worth doing.

The second video, frankly, has no grips on reality.
Not quite; there are two separate attacks currently ongoing against Bitcoin:

* The malleability attack: a transaction relayer is able to change the hash of the transactions, thus confusing senders or receivers who rely on this hash to check if the transaction has confirmed. This creates a nuisance, but all money arrive where they are supposed to. This attack does not affect memory usage on nodes, and it's an old and well-known issue.

* A transaction spam attack (misleadingly called a "stress test") where a shady group called coinwallet.eu creates a large amount of big transactions. These mostly have appopriate fees so that regular users who want their transactions to confirm in a timely manner has to out-bid the spammer. All the unconfirmed transactions are stored in the memory of nodes, so this severely affects memory usage (currently about 1 GB on some nodes).
I would like to see some kind of metrics/information showing that quality of life of a person has been declining. Because I do believe quality of life has also been increased globally.

Edit: "quantitive" is replaced with "some kind of metrics"
Yep, and that's very nice/useful for a blog post, but it feels weird in a portfolio. It's like "hey, I'm XX, those are my strong skills, and check this neat piece of code".
15-20 language/framework icons don't tell me much, despite telling me too much. what's the estimated level of expertise? I don't believe someone who shows that many different things is a master at any of them (whether they are or not, I don't believe it). grouping those icons - data, web, language, etc - might help as well.
Tell HN: Elixir/Phoenix can't be promoted enough
I recently wrote a piece of software which is a new kind of a chat system (it’s really revolutionary and I will post something more specific about this in the near future). I used Ruby on Rails and Faye (the Node.js flavor) because I can write anything with this on a lazy afternoon (just to quote my friend and co-founder of our company: “WHAT?! IT’S DONE ALREADY?!”). Then I heard about Elixir and Phoenix. And this duo brings everything to the table that our project demands. It’s crazy fast, it’s unbelievable robust, and it has a whole publish/subscribe system build right the frick in (with JS and iOS clients right there - and an Android client almost ready). And last but not least Elixir truly is a beautiful language (of course I say this since I’m a Ruby fanboy). This all sounded like it was made for our cause. So in the weeks to come I will rewrite the whole thing with this. I know it’s a rather new technology but it just sounds way too good, does it not?

Two things that made me fell in love with Ruby and Rails were Bundler and the community (not in that order). And with Elixir/Phoenix Mix is right there to take Bundler’s place in my heart, and the community is yet small but strongly emerging.

So for one I would like to encourage you to give Elixir/Phoenix a shot so the community gets stronger (and therefore Elixir). And second: what are your experiences with Elixir and Phoenix and switching to this technology (especially from Ruby and Rails)?

And for the people out there who do not know Elixir and Phoenix, yet:
https://medium.com/@kenmazaika/why-im-betting-on-elixir-7c8f847b58

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jMbzGv_6tA

Two things I hope to get out of Elixir/Phoenix becoming big are a JetBrains IDE and an out-of-the-box VM on Heroku :-)
Code repos are also hard to digest for non-technical folks

And that's exactly what the gh-pages branch in a repo that generates a Github Pages/Jekyll site addresses - https://pages.github.com/

This is an admirable effort but I feel it's going about the problem the wrong way. The presentation is very rarely the problem with developer websites. It's the content that's the problem. No amount of fancy bootstrap veneer is going to fix someone failing to write documentation for their project or themselves, especially when Github makes it very easy.
If the company claims to have business-critical resources, then it should also be sentenced for not protecting them enough. What's happening here is weak password-based security, non-deactivated credentials of a former employee, and an attempt to fund the security firm from the penalties on the hackers.
I went all in on XNA, and got very, very burned. It taught me a great lesson though: don't be locked into any vendor. I'm very happy about the .NET and Typescript developments as of late, and use Typescript for my web coding. But only because if Microsoft abandons it right now, I can continue on in plain JavaScript.
And continue to do such things... e.g. milking Android handset manufacturers using patents.
It's possible, but last time when I used, it's pretty limited. You would need to manually feed local data and re-sync it when it changes. Nothing something you want to do a lot.
I'd go for a few agency jobs for a 2-6 month stint, be nice to people and spend your time working with them not alongside them and gain some reputation. After a couple of positions, return work is usually possible. Then general staff turnover in tech companies will propagate your reputation as well. The first 2 years is the most difficult.

I'm going to add this as well: never work hard. Work out how not to work hard. Life is about what you do when you're not working for me at least.

This is a great product, but the landing page needs work.

The first video on light.co shows people taking photos with what looks like a smartphone, with no further explanation. I almost left at that point.

The rest of the page's text is very general, never explaining to me why having multiple cameras is a good idea, other than wishy-washy "this is amazing technology" self-praise. It sounds gimmicky.

The /camera page is much better. It explains your value propositions; great UX, great low-light performance, great DOF control. Make that your landing, with that vid above the fold.

I know but he didn't say he was using explorer to open the folder and inspect the files. I was guessing he must be using an app to show them since is the only dialog that's different (I have multi-gb video folders in my pc and haven't seen the issue). He did say he was using Win10 and the file dialog is back to be the same so my guess would be incorrect anyway.
Are you sure you didn't mean "Oracle"? As far as I know, Microsoft deals with their business partners fairly. They don't try to negotiate a deal directly with a big customer and bypass their partners, for instance.
That's a quite old version of OSX (2009), and is meant for people needing to upgrade from OSX 10.5, as v10.5 wasn't upgradable over a network connection.
I'm waiting for them to join Vulkan working group.
I think people should put down their prejudice about MS's past

There are some things that people find to be unforgivable. Not sure if anything MS has done qualifies for that for me, but in the area of gun control/the RKBA, which I've been fighting since the early '70s, there are companies like Ruger and Smith and Wesson which I absolutely refuse to do any business with after they betrayed US gun owners.

Sounds like your problem is that OS X has become Apple's red headed stepchild, iOS isn't reported to be having problems of this magnitude last time I checked. Too bad OS X is Apple's development platform of choice (only possible one???) for iOS....
I agree. The world needs more granular incentives.
I wouldn't focus to much of what is said in proximity to court proceedings. When you're facing jail time you don't really have the luxury of doing anything else than trying to argue the best defense possible, often by embellishing or excusing your side of the story. Especially with the aggressive prosecution in the US.
I do see your point, and I'll just have to see if it's something users want and are using, or not.
When I said hatred I meant 'Kill black people, jews, ...' directly in their ideology. So, can you guess what would happen if they won? Half world extinguished in few decades.

Also agree. needs more "meat". maybe add 30 seconds in the middle actually explaining the USP of this thing.
Here's one example of a feature I dislike (description from http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/window... )...

"Windows 10, however, shakes this up. Instead of two separate systems—one for error reporting, a second for collecting usage data—both have been rolled into one combined setting. This setting has four positions: off; basic error reporting and simple device capability reporting; enhanced diagnostic tracking that extends the basic information with more detailed error reporting, and usage telemetry; and full data, that adds process memory snapshots to the enhanced data. This means that there's no way to participate in error reporting without also participating in usage tracking, and vice versa.

Further, the "off" option is only available in Windows 10 Enterprise. The common home user versions of Windows, Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro, always collect (and report) at least "Basic" level information and no way to turn off the feature entirely.

The genuine privacy implications of this seem slight, but for those who absolutely do not want to send anything to Microsoft, Windows 10 is certainly a regression. Is Microsoft poring over this data, trying to sniff out the details of Windows users' lives and figure out all their secrets? It's highly unlikely—but the removal of the ability to turn off this reporting is nonetheless strange, and there's no clear reason for it."

But that is in the law. I think most people understand there's usually a big gap between the threatened sentence and the subsequent actual sentence in the event of a conviction.

People are objecting to the law as it is written and as it is abused by the government to make these indictments, in this case actually achieving conviction:

"Each of the two substantive counts carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. The conspiracy count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000."

Bill Gates actually touched that topic in is Reddit AMA. If I remember correctly, the bar was set up too high (i.e relational file system) and within the constrains it was a big challenge and at some point they had to deliver.
Side note, just because you don't pay fees with Robinhood that doesn't make it free. Robinhood has larger spreads than many of it's alternatives.

In other words - Robinhood's competitors make you pay a fee for access to better prices. That seems like a reasonable value proposition to me.
Keys is an asshole, and low-level nonviolent drug offenders absolutely should not be treated as they are.

Both of these things are completely irrelevant to the fact that any jail time for defacing a website is completely insane, the result of a witch-hunt mentality surrounding computer-based crimes.

I'm talking more about "peers" than what I think you're referring to as "partners". E.g. 3Com as I cite elsewhere, Verizon WRT to the Kin, the company they licensed the start of Internet Explorer from (expected royalty payments never materialized when the gave it away for free), the examples go on and on and on.

But I suppose with Balmer the salesman in charge in between Gates and Nadella they'd avoid sales channel betrayals like that.
The poverty and extreme poverty line are adjusted in each country according to purchasing power.

You are right that somebody making $200/month in the US would be classified as extreme poor (and someone in India would not be considered extreme poor if he earns $200/month). I don't see the problem with this.

It says :

"The gratiﬁcation resulting from each jerk depends only on the physical andgeometric parameters of the problem (shaft girth, hand size). For instance,a 20 year old man who hasn’t been stimulated in a week’s time receives the same gratiﬁcation from a jerk action as would a freshly stimulated 80year-old-man, provided the geometric parameters are identical"

This is questionable, a 20 year old man probably receives more pleasure from an act of masturbation compared to an 80 year old man, because statistically a 20 year old man's penis will be much more sensitive compared to an 80 year old man's --- the authors should have factored that into their calculations
