> Besides, the hits were driven by politics, religion is just a facade.

Politics, markets and religion are greatly overlapping concepts!

For example, an anthropologist points out that markets and major religions formed at the same time, and are frenemies. "Nowadays, the work of destroying such ways of life is still often done by missionaries–representatives of those very world religions that originally sprang up in reaction to the market long ago. Missionaries, of course, are out to save souls; but they rarely interpret this to mean their role is simply to teach people to accept God and be more altruistic. Almost invariably, they end up trying to convince people to be more selfish and more altruistic at the same time. On the one hand, they set out to teach the “natives” proper work discipline, and try to get them involved with buying and rolling products on the market, so as to better their material lot. At the same time, they explain to them that ultimately, material things are unimportant, and lecture on the value of the higher things, such as selfless devotion to others." (Originally from Harper’s Magazine, reprinted here: https://libcom.org/library/army-altruists-alienated-right-do...)

Note these inversions:

- ISIS is Muslim. Sharia law economics is free market. (Adam Smith apparently cribbed many of his most famous arguments from medieval Persan free market theorists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_economics#Markets)

- The US is capitalist. It's among the most fundamentalist religious. (About 40% believe Earth was created less than 10k years ago.)

So-called "economics" and religion are duals. Very hard for those enmeshed in them to see.
Wasn't suggesting they use the recursive feature. Just a flat netstring for the data segments, sort of how the Redis and Memcached protocols work.
Hmm, maybe using 'throwing money at the problem' was a poor choice, it's not quite what I meant. But yeah, Facebook had enough money they could hire people to work full-time on writing a PHP-to-C++ compiler. It's the sort of hack that typifies Facebook.
I work with a Muslim and I'm a Christian. Since we are both very conservative, I actually have more in common with him than with my secular coworkers and friends. Unfortunately we both work remotely and live several hundred miles from each other. I think we could be good friends if we lived closer.

One thing I have learned talking with my Muslim coworker is that, just like in Christianity, there are many divisions and sects within the religion. I am Atlantean and go to an Atlantean church. I would not want to be called a Phoenician or Liliputian christian (made up names cause I don't want to offend anyone this early in the morning).

Just as with anything else, the closer and more involved you are with something the more you see distinctions between different categories of that thing. As a total outsider your categories tend to be large, all encompassing and dominated by the loudest, most visible or most discussed sub category. For most westerners I think that sub category is, unfortunately radicalised Muslims.

I'm fortunate that my coworker has given me a different perspective. I never believed all Muslims were radicalised but the true revelation for me was that my Muslim coworker was more like me than most non-muslims. It saddens me to see states in my country rejecting refugees from Syria. They are depriving their residents of potential friends and coworkers, potential spouses, neighbors or playmates that can give them a new perspective and help make their world a little larger and more interesting.

> How do I overcome this sense of loneliness and dismality?

You are actually asking several different questions. But I suspect if you can overcome this one, you'll find that you won't really yearn for deep friendships as much.

There are several things you should probably ask yourself:

- Are upset that you are alone, or are that you are lonely? Remember, there's two are not necessarily the same.

- What is making you feel dismal about life, exactly?

- What is your definition of a "deep" friendship?
Spinnaker is pretty focussed on deployments and as such has those operations as first class citizens (deploy, resize, manage traffic, destroy, etc)

Jenkins is also a first class stage type - it is the way we run the build and test side of our deployments
Fair comment. Can you go into more detail regarding why this classification matters?

I note you've refrained from taking a position regarding climate change - fair enough, it is a gnarly subject. I don't think that it neatly falls into an adversarial or "random process" classification. I think it is reasonable to regard the consequences of climate change as both intentional, and highly political, with large doses of randomness and uncertainty.

Here's a perhaps terrible analogy: for whatever reason, suppose people are willing to pay money to watch me shoot a gun into the air. Perhaps they find it entertaining. Occasionally bullets might fall in an unlucky place and kill someone or damage property. I certainly don't intend anyone or anything in particular any harm, but hey, I've got to earn some money to pay the bills.

I wouldn't be surprised if many closely-tied to Saudi leadership are behind funding of ISIS. Saudia Arabia seems to care more about taking down Assad. And the US keeps aiding and supporting Saudi Arabia - because oil. Something's gotta give. And while they're at it, maybe declassify those post-9/11 Saudi-related documents.
This is a slightly dated but pretty good primer on how ISIS manages to pay the bills to keep the lights on:

I'm living in Paris. I heard gunfire from my apartment. My heart goes out to Salah-Eddin, and all people living in the shadow of unspeakable abominations. It saddens me to imagine that simply hearing gunfire in the distance is nothing compared to what my fellow man has witnessed elsewhere.

Salah-Eddin's condolences mean a lot to me and I wish him all the best. It's my sincerest hope that French troops will be deployed to Syria in the near future, and that such an action will prove useful in protecting him, his family, his neighbors and his culture.

For what it's worth, I've submitted an application to be a reservist in the French army. It's one month of training and 30 days of active duty per year. I sincerely hope my small effort will be helpful not only because it puts another man in the Parisian battlefield (yes... that's sadly what it has become), but also because it allows a better-qualified soldier to (hopefully) deploy to the Middle East.

I don't presume to know whether or not my action is helpful, but I sincerely hope it is. I'm already quite busy with my dissertation defense coming up in a few short months, but this can do, so I will.

I suppose I needed to get that off my chest as well...
Thanks. Apparently fallout4 has a bunch of bugs on higher-end PCs because and I was wondering why they would couple things like that. I guess the harsh restrictions of gamedev explain it a bit then...

I know that you probably want to maintain your privacy, but you just missed a good opportunity here to make friends via HN. You should say what state/city you're in, and you might be surprised at how welcoming people can be.

I was in a slightly similar situation in the late 90's when we moved from Florida to western NY. My wife was from this area, but I didn't know anyone. I made a few neighbor/friends, but it was tough because my wife hadn't been back home for many years and we had our own small business (no work acquaintances). I ended up learning to play ice hockey and joined a local group of guys that play pick-up every Sunday morning (we go for coffee afterwards and discuss whatever for a couple of hours). Long story short: I've known them for over a decade and they're now all like brothers to me.

It's tough to join groups when you don't know anyone. But, don't sell yourself short. Many people find it interesting that I've lived over a decade in 3 different US states, so you're practically Christopher Columbus in comparison. Oftentimes the things that we find the most boring about ourselves are exactly that which makes us the most interesting to others.

Good luck !

In my experience for most REST APIs use cases HATEOAS is not needed or not that useful. Writing a REST API for your mobile application? What do you need HATEOAS for? Do you really think it can replace documentation?

On the other hand all the rest of nice bonuses of REST APIs are very useful in such a use case.
Can anyone explain why using different verbs (PUT, PATCH, ...) is preferable to using just POST with an additional parameter (e.g. POST action="add")? It seems like the author's distinction between POST, PUT and PATCH seems rather arbitrary...

> This is a war of civilisations and way of life. and trust me. the peaceful one, the one that always say sorry for everything is not going to win.

As long as you see the world in terms of 'your kind of people' and 'my kind of people' you are to some degree part of the problem. This is not a war of 'civilizations', though it could very well turn into one if we lose our calm.

Unfortunately, given the technological edge and the willingness to defend 'my kind of people' will eventually - reluctantly, hopefully - switch to a different mode which will make the crusades look like a picnic outing. The problem is that IS and company are waking something up that they have absolutely no way to deal with and it would be far better for everybody involved if this did not come to pass.

But with the number of people clamoring to have this out by the bikeshed it may already be too late. Until then 'our kind of people' should do their best to derail this conflict before it becomes mass-murder/civil war on an unprecedented scale and to find another solution.
Ok, I can see it is corrected now.
What kind of policy changes are you thinking of? And who would be the target? Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have participated in (or at least supported) the airstrikes started in Sep 2014 against Daesh. Officially, the usual suspects are actively opposing Daesh.
Good luck in the Army! The Middle East doesn't need more foreign bodybags (good or bad guys) but support, training and equipment. Last I checked they are begging for armor and winter gear.
Here's a provocative idea: Maybe it's because deep learning and all the other popular AI algorithms are complete and utter rubbish.

Maybe using them has nothing to do with standing on the shoulders of giants but much more with standing on the shoulders of the local maximum that is achievable by throwing insane amounts of data at dumb algorithms.

If you could choose between access to algorithms and data structures that exactly mimic the human brain and a data set that contains everything all humans taken together know, what would you choose?
I agree with you. I my family and I also grew up in an islamic enclave. We saw the hell it caused. Pretty much all ex-muslims by now. People like the parent will never understand and will keep insinuating you're racist and they are brilliantly anti-racist. I am going to ask you to give up.

It's like everything else though. If you don't normally interact with a field you're only going to get the dramatic content. If you're a web developer you won't see the 99% of times Linus Torvalds is normal, because that won't be relevant to you as you don't do kernel development. If you go look up pretty much any feminist icon (e.g. at TED) they are usually very thoughtful.

It would be interesting to see him elaborate on that, because he normally has a quite "hard" debating style himself. He has repeatedly spoken out for not having to limit what you say and against things like political correctness, and also approved things like hellbanning and 'downvote to disagree' on Hacker News.

Never mind rights or leverage, do they care nothing about the working relationship with their employees? The work environment I'm used to is much more collective. If there is a screw-up, it's the team that screwed up, and we fix it together. If it's the same person who causes the team to screw up again and again, it would be a different matter, but when does firing someone over a mistake solve a problem? And if a colleague was let go because his PC started making pacman noises, most of the team would probably quit the same day. I can't even imagine it happening. More likely the boss would joke about it: "Hey, wobbleblob, it sounds like you're not very busy at he moment. In that case I have a nice chore for you"

This text could be kinda direct, but it's what i think could help to get a "solution" or more efficient approach to eliminate IS.

- Bomb the oil fields, forget about politics/economics , don't let IS grow. Just take away their primary income so they'll internally bleed out... The people who come from Europe woudn't like it there if they don't receive any money.

- Track down the big import behaviour of Western Products ( Red Bull, Nutella, Hummers, ... ) that IS terrorists love. Elimnate the import of it. They don't want Western products, no problem. Cut them off the economy and black market as quick as possible.

- Make it illegal to buy black market oil from IS, track down people who want to have some quick money.

- Invest in rebels that attack IS on the ground ( some people from France and the UK voluntarely go there)

- If there is any proof of Middle East supports IS. Then take economic sanctions. Work together with Russia, America, Europe and China. Invest in oil alternatives FAST

- Put a website online www.worldagainstterrorisme.com where there are a couple of big sections:

- SnitchTerrrorists, to report abnormal behaviour. Make it so that you can see which ethicity/religion has reported them. So people would realize that muslims don't support extremist behaviour

- LiveTarget, witch the cooperation of America, an online live sattelite map that limits to Syria and the part that IS controls. Limit the visibility of known friendly groups ( eg. masking / using older images when a friendly plane crosses the land). So people in the world can unite and track down extremist behaviour in the IS country. Make it easy to report suspicious behaviour and you can bomb the hell out of them as soon as they get out of their building with the help of the community.

- The media should make fun with IS instead of addressing them as the big enemy. Make fun with the people who go there, target them as dumb ( if they had bad grades, ...) and change the public perspective for people who are compelled to go there because they hate where they live / feel discriminated because of social community problems

- I have another idea, but that is morely to protect western nations. That should be hidden from public eye ;) - contact me if you would like to know :P

Edit: If you're down voting at least make a comment please, Eg. how you think states/nations can handle it "better"

My proposition are for the following intentions: less generalisation and less racisme ( not every muslim is IS! ), more public effort to help ( snitching extremists, finding IS members in their home country, ...), lessen the media appeal of IS for people with non-western feelings - living in Europe because of social problems in a country / community / city, ...

I'm only going to be a weekend-warrior! Reservists essentially patrol Paris (especially airports and train stations), so there's zero chance of me going abroad unless I volunteer. Frankly, this is why I think enlisting as a reservist is a worthwhile and not-too-damaging thing to do.

At the end of the day, someone needs to pull the trigger, sickening though this thought may be. I hope I won't have to, but I'd rather do that than watch my compatriots get butchered in their own streets. I'd rather do that then weep in my apartment like I did last Friday. I'm a few years shy of 30, I'm in good shape... if not me, then who?

I mention this in case any other Frenchmen are lurking around. I know the army doesn't have a great reputation here, but this is a way to help out that doesn't even need to interfere with your work schedule. Your employer is required by law to allow you to pursue your missions, and you're paid a small amount during your active-duty days (though this is hardly the point). I can think of no clearer example of self-defense.

If you read the article, you'll clearly see that they want to provide something, as long as it doesn't obligate them to provide a huge package. I assume their reasons for wanting this are to compete for employees.

See, the current regulation is a very odd copenhagen theory of ethics type mess. It bans providing a small packages of benefits - either provide a big one or provide nothing.
Reading that brought a tear to my eyes, he and many others live with this on a daily basis.

Very likely EchoNest. Used in rdio as well.

And while these algorithms work up to a degree at some point it's not useful anymore - especially if your taste is very specific and not dependent on obvious factors like genre or mood (I know, Echonest takes a lot more properties into account).

These days I see what feels like the same recommendations everywhere. Rdio solved this problem with good old fashioned human curation - and in contrast to Apple Music it's based on humans I want to follow, not some show host or editor that has to appeal to large crowds.
Christianity was muzzled during the Enlightenment. While the religious right has been getting worse in recent decades (and this poses a long-term threat to freedom), Christianity is not practiced seriously and purely on a massive scale as it was during the Dark Ages.

IMHO, Google released Tensorflow because AI is currently being driven by research, and researchers were mostly writing code for Torch that is used at Facebook. So FB folks were enjoying lots of new algorithms, benchmarked against their systems. Google open-sourcing TF shows that benefits of open-source outweigh the disadvantages of being closed source. Even if the future is data and not code, companies will not open-source their code if they have nothing to benefit.
