Thank you for taking time to answer :).

> The subtext was with time your attachment to the thing lessens.

I definitely agree with that. It's true about most of things in life; frankly, people (myself included) usually underestimate how people can come to terms with things and/or stop caring about something once they commit to detach from it.

I originally interpreted your comment as typical "I haven't used X for years therefore I don't see why others still use it" kind of comment, which always appear in FB-related threads. I now see that your point was more subtle and I jumped to conclusions.

I agree with your point about close friendships and the power of human needs and desires. But I personally find my life greatly enhanced by the ability new technology, and Facebook in particular, gives to keep the weak ties. Because I found out on many occasions that they don't always stay weak. Every now and then, you may end up getting real close with that one weak acquaintance, and then you're glad you've kept contact.

Also "casualness and how noncommittal you can be with people over it" feel important to me. Maybe it's the introvert vs. extrovert thing again, but myself and a lot of people I know really appreciate the kind of flexible commitment Facebook gives, which is a kind of combination of e-mails, IMs and newsgroups. Being introvert, investing time in constant face-to-face - or even voice - synchronized contact would totally wear me down. I love asynchronous communication, and I know I'm not the only one.

> It helped me produce some valuable relationships which now happen outside of it. It was a catalyst of sorts. But only for a very narrow selection of friends and later in life.

Personally I believe that Facebook, like all technology, works best when it's a part of your life - even if a big part - but does not take over the life completely. You really can't replicate all aspects of off-line contact in software.

> I don't know anyone like that. They'd be culled from my circle if that's the kind of bullshit they pulled.

I know a few, some did that before Facebook with various IMs. Some understand this is pointless and get over it, others sadly don't. I'd probably cull most of those who would make a big issue out of me not remembering, but fortunately AFAIR no one ever did.
On the other hand, banks want numbers that actually add up properly, at least in the code that deals with money. If you use undefined behavior in C or C++, the languages do not guarantee that your bank account balances won't all be rounded down to the nearest prime number on Thursdays in odd numbered months in leap years.

As of last year ten people in total had been subjected to the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures that was used to confiscate Kermani's laptop[1]. I guess that's now up to at least eleven, but it's a number low enough to believe the majority of people subjected to them actually were very closely linked with planned acts of terrorism. British would-be terrorists are as you point out, not spectacularly effective, but did manage to kill fifty people in a single set of rather more indiscriminate attacks a decade ago plus some relatively minor attempts since then. So we have two extremely infrequent occurrences, but on the whole I'd consider the police - however unwise their actions were in this instance - to be somewhat less likely to target me than bombers, as well as my fate at the hands of the former more likely to be favourable even if I was operating at the cutting edge of journalism.

I'm actually more concerned by how easy it is to peg the GPU. The operating system does a pretty good job in controlling errant processes in general, but with GPU stuff it's easy to get your computer completely unresponsive. My android phone rebooted while trying to load one of these demos. The GPU APIs and drivers are two raw to expose to the web directly,especially compared to the way threading, networking and storage have been abstracted. Hopefully vulkan will allow for a more web suitable api to be built on top of it.
Love how they use sentences like "Germans are particularly sensitive to electronic surveillance" and "(their) hard line on data transfers has drawn the ire of" to make it sound as if the Germans are the unreasonable ones here.
Altwork Station – the new way to work
Not sure anyone was ever disagreeing with that.
It's a side-effect of cultural norms going back thousands of years. In marriage, status is a key factor, and the parents of both partners are the main decision maker whether to allow a marriage or not. Status wise: A man marries a women of lower status, a woman marries a man of higher status -- that's more likely to be approved by both sets of parents. (And parental approval is important in Chinese families)

Which means, there's talented, very smart women in China who are struggling to find suitable husbands, because they are equal to high status men. And those men are looking for women with less status.

The Male leftovers tend to then be at the bottom of the status chain, because there's no lower status of women to marry. So there are loads of rural areas and villages where women have moved to the city, and men remaining have no viable marriage prospects. (This is the segment negatively affected by one-child policy)
How long until this happens in the snows sports industry? Mid level snowboards / skis sell in the $500 range, with high end going for $1000+. Most probably have < $50 worth of raw materials and < $100 worth of labour costs.

As Signal have shown, you can make a snowboard out of just about anything once you have the machinery (which is where the high initial investment happens i suppose): http://signalsnowboards.com/shows/ett/season-1

> I would even say that if Rust's performance is comparable to GC'ed languages, there's no point in using Rust in the first place.

I'm not sure that's a fair assessment.

Even if you didn't gain anything in terms of raw performance, the gains in performance predictability would probably still be enough for many applications.

Even if you didn't gain anything in terms of performance at all, the ownership semantics also give you good safety characteristics around concurrency, which would still probably be worthwhile for at least some applications.
>>Most banks don't make any security demands of internal applications because they are not accessible to the internet. At which point safety is just a way to slow you do.

This is a bad way of doing things. That means as soon as someone finds a way to get inside the network, the bank is wrecked. You need to look at security from the point of assuming the attacker somehow got inside because it'll happen one day.

The same way as desktop developers do. Test things yourself and get you mother (or some non-techy person) to try it out and see how much she/he swears when attempting to use it.
Also, how are you going to attract scientists who want to make a career (which, perhaps unfortunately for them, involves publishing stuff).

They should probably take an example from research.microsoft.com.

I couldn't disagree more.

I'm a developer, and personally have no interest in a Chromebook but there's no way I'd recommend the types of machines I use to my mother. I'd use my knowledge of computers to recommend something that's actually suited for her use case - ie, Faceborg, email, downloading malware, etc.

I would also be swayed towards the computer that's easiest to maintain (meaning less call-outs).

I used this technique to prove libc++'s implementation of std::sort is O(n^2). There's still an open bug report for this in libc++: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20837.

On a related note, I'm talking to the libc++ and libstdc++ developers about replacing introsort with pdqsort (https://github.com/orlp/pdqsort) as the implementation for std::sort. It solves the worst case in a subtly different (and potentially more efficient) way than introsort. Although that's not the real selling point.

EDIT: I forgot I still use my old username on hacker news. To prevent confusion, I'm also the author of pdqsort.

The article claims a stressful job will shorten your life, but the data[1] shows that "high job demands" have almost no impact on longevity, and that "unemployment and layoffs, and a lack of health insurance were the factors that exerted the biggest influence"

Methology: I did a search of http://arxiv.org/find/hep-ex/1/abs:+codes/0/1/0/all/0/1?quer... for "codes" in hep-ex entries at arXiv.org and reported the first few papers which actually contained "codes". (It appears that stemming is in place, as some papers only had 'code'.)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.08141.pdf - "The processes are simulated with the pythia and MadGraph 5 Monte Carlo codes" (authors are from Brazil and Switzerland)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.04063.pdf - "They present new challenges to the simulation codes" (author is from Germany)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.00209.pdf - "The codes and setups used for the formulation of these plots are listed below:" (from Italy) (Note the 'and setups'. This is a clear mistake made by a non-native speaker.)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.00589.pdf - "The Cambridge variable MT2 can already be reliably computed with one of several publicly available codes" (3 of the 8 authors have a US address, though only one of those three is a common name for a native English speaker)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.08764.pdf - "a benchmark for the hadronic interaction Monte Carlo simulations codes" (1 of the 10 authors has a US address. That author has a typically English name)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.06706.pdf - "Both codes are available at" (1 US-based author of 5).

I then repeated the same search with 'programs':

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.00391.pdf - "Using a fully automated framework based on the FeynRules and MadGraph5.aMC@NLO programs" (1 UK-based author of 5)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.01918.pdf - "The results are compared with the values used in the simulation programs GEANT4 and UNIMOD." (All authors are based in Russia.)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.05895.pdf - "various high-energy physics programs such as Monte Carlo event generators." (1 UK based author of 6)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.00556.pdf - "This requires an interface between the higher-order theory programs and the fast interpolation frameworks" (23 authors, 18 institutions, and 10 institutions in English speaking countries)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.08759.pdf - "The new estimates presented here are based both on simulation programs (GEANT4 libraries) and theoretical calculations" (Authors are from Italy.)

http://arxiv.org/pdf/1504.06469.pdf - "While many fixed-order and parton shower programs allow" (4 authors, 2 based in English speaking countries, one with a common name for a British person)

This is surely not proof of anything, but it does demonstrate that 1) "codes" is use in scientific computing (though it doesn't show the ratio between "codes" vs. "programs" nor its use in fields other than experimental HEP), 2) there's a suggestion that non-native speakers use "codes" more often, but it's not clear at this level, and 3) there are a lot of non-native speakers pushing papers, while I think the 'software-industry people' who publish in English has a much stronger bias towards native English speaking people.

A more thorough analysis would also need to see if the modern scientific sense is historically consistent; perhaps the industry use is newer though wider coinage.
Perhaps so. Other scientists want to push the border of human knowledge.

Exactly this.

I'm British and I'm completely fucking tired of living here and watching how right-wing, xenophobic, poor-bashing and just all-round ignorant and unpleasant people are and are becoming.

I feel absolutely no kinship with my countrymen, because most seem completely unwilling to think for themselves. It semms like they would rather just be told who to hate on any given day by a media known for its lies, and by politicians known for their utter greed and contempt for the people.

I'm currently looking into moving away and possibly even renouncing my citizenship in future.

The problem is, where to move to?
The quant hedge fund world is possibly the area where secrecy hurts the most. I worked for many years on a strategy that my colleagues were convinced was special. It did make a lot of money, but looking back it really suffered from not being able to take in any outside feedback. We had a meeting where I was the only dissenting voice in the question of whether to give any transparency into how the model worked.

There's some really bad issues with trying to do anything like this in total secrecy:

- We couldn't tell investors how the strategy worked. This is bad for building trust. When things go well, people will invest anyway. But they are quick to leave you when they don't.

- We couldn't hire anyone without bolting down everything. I ended up having to do all the coding while making sure nothing went into the repo that was the secret sauce, having to send a new binary to a consultant (whom everyone knew) every time the sauce changed, and so forth. As a tiny team we had a lot of fiddling with the network to make sure nobody with the wrong credentials could get things they weren't supposed to.

- It affected how we tried to hire people for other things, like new strategies. When you think everything you have is special, you tend to devalue what other people do. You also end up thinking you can take their secret sauce. There's at least one well known fund that thinks it can just interview people and get their ideas. It's pretty obvious when it's happening.

- Because truly original ideas are hard to find, you stop looking and you think that's it. Or, as it happens, you read some paper, slightly modify it, and you announce your revolutionary new idea to the team. Unfortunately, people seemed to buy this. They couldn't just accept that a trading strategy is a whole bunch of ideas that come and go over time. And certainly not the idea that a tiny little tweak that makes everything work is probably a dangerous thing.

- You end up not comparing your findings to the real world. Nobody was reading what was happening in the machine learning world (the guys are essentially using high school math to implement the model). Attempts at introducing things that were completely ordinary in software development were met with derision. Basically if something wasn't more secret sauce it wasn't interesting.

- The crux of this thinking is you tend to think implementation is easy and idea generation is separate and difficult. Probably most people will find the opposite to be true. In truth, if you look at the financial code, it would fit on a screen. The other tens of kLoC was was implementation: back office checking, execution, writing things to database, connections to all the exchanges, and so on.

If you look at the wider industry, you can talk to people at large funds where they don't actually care that lots of people are looking at the strategy. They know what the techniques are, that know how to build code collaboratively.
I find the type of quality measures you have described as being very superficial. I joined a startup a couple of months back, and it may well have passed all of your quality measures. But the overall design was terrible. I could have rewritten it in around a tenth of the code. The databse design was poor, with lots of redundant data. Joins were being done at the apllication level, and it was making way too many calls to the database an just doing things in a really inefficient roundabout way. 10 x more code than is needed makes understanding it way more difficult than is should be.

Probably because "recognition" of genocides is mostly a political instrument rather than a correction of historical record based on new proofs. The recognition depends mostly on the political relationship between the "recognizer" and the perpetrator. For example: The Armenian genocide: As long as Turkey is an ally of US, US fails to recognize any wrong doings and takes no action. The holocaust: Germany was not an ally of US at the time; US recognizes the genocide and takes action. The various french "activities" in algeria and africa in general: US fails to recognize anything. France is an sovereign (=they have nukes) ally. Al-Anfal "campaign" in Iraq: US fails to recognize the actions of Iraq (unofficial US ally against Iran at the time) but remembers a decade later when Saddam falls into disgrace and action is taken in 2003. Second Chechen war: Russia is not ally of US but it is too "sovereign" for any action to be taken.
