I think SpaceX can make it work. Their previous attempts have failed for pretty mundane reasons (insufficient hydraulic fluid, sticky valves) and yet have come quite close just the same. I wouldn't be surprised if the next try works, and even if it doesn't, then a few more tries should have it in the bag.

The genius of SpaceX's approach is that their launcher is perfectly viable as an expendable rocket. They are basically being paid by their customers to test the landing technique. That means they don't need a technique which can be pretty certain to work the first time, but instead they can go through a lot of build/test/crash/refine cycles without bleeding away investors' money.

If it ends up that the Falcon 9 has a 10% crash rate when landing even after tons of refinement and practice, well, that's still great! No problem, cost of access to space has still been brought down tremendously.
Ha, I feel like you are responding to a completely different poster than the GP. Your quotes must be responding to some strawman, because nowhere do I see the post above suggest leaving a job, directly solving poverty, or the problems with making lots of money.

Meanwhile from someone with the GP's background, the marginal utility of a few hours a week helping with an Open Data or Open Government project would be vastly higher than staying at work longer hoping to get that promotion, not to mention it would also scratch that itch most of us have to be developing new things, it will help prevent burnout at work, and get you involved with a new community which is good for possible future social and business contacts. You won't directly solve poverty, but I'll bet the farm that you also won't eventually have billions (or even millions) to donate to charity just because you decided donating money is a cool way to help people.

Seems pretty weird that we think it's normal to run a computer that simulates several physical computers, each running an operating system built for the mainframe in a 70s university CS department closet that then only ever runs one user and one application. You just think it's easier because you're used to it. I'm glad that this development is happening. In a few years when it's mature, we'll all have a saner setup to work with.

I like this explanation: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Serverless-Computing

Quote - Serverless doesn’t mean servers are no longer involved. It simply means that developers no longer have to think "that much" about them. Computing resources get used as services without having to manage around physical capacities or limits.

> Re: Malaria, homelessness, HIV, refugees, war, climate change, income inequality, gender inequality, hate crimes.

There are tons of informatics needs for modeling malaria genome evolution specially against emergence of front-line drug resistance that is spreading from SE Asia to Africa. Tools need to be built to inform public health officials where the genome's gene flow is headed next to modify the front-line treatment to contain the spread (e.g., Real-time genomic surveillance of Artesminin resistance of Plasmodium).

There is an entire open-source community of people uploading and sharing time-stamped genomic samples of malaria and host information if you are interested (http://www.malariagen.net/).

Similarly for HIV, there are lots of public health research groups doing modeling of HIV transmission, applied to specific local communities to contain an epidemic. Web front-end needs to be made and data pipelines that crunch incoming input data is needed. Most of this work is done in academic labs where information is only broadcasted on papers but could use a nicer front-end open to public and automated back-end for production data crunching. (e.g., http://web2.research.partners.org/cepac/model.html).

The trick with reddit is to carefully curate your subreddit list and continually clean house as the communities evolve (usually in a negative direction) over time. It's a lot of work, and the same goes for most other community-driven sites. My Facebook feed is garbage because I don't use it often enough to train the algorithm (or maybe the algorithm just sucks). My YouTube front page is only passable because I've taken the time to subscribe to a handful of channels and had made heavy use of the old (non-Spotify-only) Last.fm to listen to music I like on there. My Google+ home page consists of two people's posts plus spam because I haven't spent time managing my network. And so on.

Now that the web has more content creators than ever we also need better recommendation, search, and filtering tools. Hell, even though it's heavily moderated I still wish I could teach Hacker News not to show me the 50% of articles on here that I have zero interest in.

Hi,
It sounds like this could be a good shim for flushHint(), as you said, if only on platforms where TCP_CORK is supported (Linux only?).

It's still more complex than just having a flushHint() method built in though, as it involves two modes (TCP_CORK and TCP_NODELAY).

Well, I've done my bit for the day at least.
"the obligation to release the code under the GPL or not at all may be created and breached without knowledge of the person doing the release, but the license still has not attached to your code."

This is the specific concern. The name of the license isn't what people call a virus: it's the obligation it attaches to things.

"copyleft licenses are not at all special in this regard."

Damage to most copyright violations is usually a fine/settlement, publishing source of the component (not app), removal, and so on. Not an obligation to loose one's own I.P. entirely. How many common licenses that cut/pasted code or included libraries might be affected by require redistribution of the application's source in full once it gets in a release? I thought it was a non-zero amount that was pretty low for most sources. Whereas, bumbling around on a site with GPL stuff drives it up singificantly specifically due to copyleft.

" the few GPL violation cases (in the US, at least) that have gone to court and not been settled have resulted in fines and injunctions on distributing the GPL-dependent software."

Now we're talking the actual results. The virus metaphor could be dropped if it was clear that this was the worst thing that could happen and that component would just have to be dropped/replaced with non-GPL stuff. Them doing it that way is certainly reassuring. Trick is, could they instead force app using it to go GPL? Guess it hinges on enforceability of that obligation.

"The description of the GPL as "viral" was central to Microsoft's PR effort against Free Software in general and Linux in particular. So, its not really surprising to hear that from that source."

From an ex-employee mocking that source's stance on GPL as paranoid, to be clear. Not surprising, though.

Little. Most is libs.

Yups. That's why I mentioned "scale". Personally I cycle 7 mins to work :)
The charts on the EDN article are flipped, 8 bit usage is dropping. Time is from right to left. ;)

My argument is that the economic cost of production between 8 and 32 bit MCUs is negligible. There is a _need_ for market segmentation, etc. But the cost of the package makes up for the cost in gates. It really is a wash. Much of what we still see in 8 bit designs is because of (no insult intended) 8 bit designers. I love me some 8 bit RISC, but AVR is having to fully embrace ARM even when it has its own AVR32 ISA.

I don't think they are dead and useless, but they are definitely on the out for most designs. Totally agree on old stable designs. Engineering tolerances are "better" now. Something to be said for the Brooklyn Bridge and DC3s.

Cheap and low volume? Yes.

I'd agree if it were a self funding program, but it isn't. Due to the ever increasing deficit, scarcity increases with consumption - the earlier generations are paying less and drawing more than later generations.

That is news to me - and probobly the entire health insurance industry, how did you arrive at that conclusion?

I made my point, being aware of my point you stated the opposite in a ridiculing manner: that is the very definition of sarcasm. It doesn't need to be a sassy remark made with an eye-roll and accompanied by a laugh track to be sarcasm.

It's pretty nice, though I have to be honest and ask:

1. Why should I use this one specifically, given that Pokedex listings are dime a dozen on the internet nowadays? I mean, the technology is nice, but a static website is presumably even quicker, and you're still competing with the likes of Serebii, Bulbapedia, Smogon, the official site, etc.

2. Why are no Pokemon from generation 6 included in this? Anyone wanting a Pokedex now is likely to want some information about the new species introduced in Pokemon X and Y, and your competition likely have this data.

It's a nice enough interface, and the technology seems interesting, just wondering about the use case.

P.S. As for it being shut down... I doubt it. The article doesn't say the app is being sold on the Apple store or Google Play, it's a web app that's accessible for free through the browser. It's just a fancy website, like the thousands of other Pokedex websites that have been going for years or even decades.

I'm happy you get to work in an environment with no legacy applications that require a specific old operating system but that's not the case for a massive portion of sysadmin jobs.
AFAIK this is similar to how Microsoft licenses Windows: you get the product, and source is available on request (and an NDA [and perhaps only to select customers]). In this case the fee for source access is waived, and in place of an NDA is the spectre of patent and copyright lawsuits. But essentially the licence is similar, the pricing is different?

Makes me a bit sad in the wake of MS liberating a lot of stuff lately, like Visual Studio.

Of course not many other companies have the benefit of collecting an OS tax on hardware - I still think I'd prefer eg the AGPL to this.
Lets say someone gains access to the password hashes, he/she can compute hashes until a match is found. And then login to that particular system, but does not know the secret (if there are many collisions, and the pw is random). I'm no expert though, and I assume that if someone gains access to all the password hashes, he/she already has access to the system.
Yeah, it's no longer relevant for that project, but I like the ideas behind Kafka and will probably use it again so I'll look at PyKafka before I look at kafka-python in the future.

> Damage to most copyright violations is usually a fine/settlement, publishing source of the component (not app), removal, and so on.

Legal damage from GPL violations is generally fine and injunction against further release of the software with the GPL-bound components; release of application code under the GPL is typically something that happens, if at all, in a settlement, because the copyright owner would rather do that than pay damages and restructure the software not to depend on the GPL-bound component.
Kickstarter is the stock market for amateurs to buy into other people's dreams. You are always going to have a few bad apples who spoil the bunch. I have funded tonnes of successful Kickstarter campaigns and I have learned to steer clear from the obviously risky startups, which at times can be difficult.

Although I have never backed a failed campaign, every campaign I have backed that requires some kind of manufacturing and hardware has never delivered on time, except my Remix Mini Android PC. The problem is manufacturing starts out inherently expensive and the price drops the more you produce. If you're only doing a production run of 6000, you can guarantee you're not going to get a good price for something that requires plastics molding and assembly.

I think Kickstarter needs to make it harder to start a hardware based campaign. There are a lot of empty promises, I think some accountability would go a long way. A milestone based system would be great where the owner of the campaign specifies milestones (design, plastic mold, hardware components, etc) and when they need a milestone released, Kickstarter evaluates on a request-by-request basis and then updates the campaign automatically.

For sales in that price range, Flippa is the most active marketplace. The most straightforward path to a $10K sale is to show $500-1000 in monthly revenue. You want to show that there's a business there, that a buyer can potentially see a return on their purchase within 1-2 years. If your side project has no users, or isn't functional software, then it's probably not worth buying to anyone else.

SQLite has many more features. It has more types, more functions, more SQL support. It also requires significantly more resources; they claim 100KiB of heap space and 4KiB of stack space with at least 300KiB of compiled code, stripped as small as possible. I don't know what this means.

LittleD gives you the bare basics, using well under 100K of compiled code, and under 1K of RAM for average queries, period. You will soon be able to strip out the query translator and "precompile" your queries with parameters to bring the total compiled code down to under 35K on device. This is not always desirable, but in some cases can be very useful.
No, I think pure research can be and usually is ordinary research.

I agree with your points about the young and non-established being good bets for big thinking. But I think the PhD is an unsuitable vehicle, partly because it's not well-designed to handle failure (your analogy with startups is great and instructive on this point).
You're going to need actual numbers for this to be a valid argument. Data centers use only 3 percent of global electricity production (http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2014/12/17/under...), and it seems unlikely that a noticeable portion of that is caused by CPU-intensive software that isn't already well-optimized.

There's not many topics that fit the bill, and this is way more intriguing than a list of US Presidents or UN Countries.

The business just takes the responsibility for chargebacks. This would just look like a transaction where either the reader didn't have the functionality or the merchant decided not to use it.

If Lambda is able to expand the /tmp disk space from 500MB to a few GB I think that will further make the adopter better on my end. I have a requirement in which Lambda is a perfect solution except the disk space is not enough. Of course I can further divide the work into smaller chunks. If you have use distributed task library like Celery, just think of that no longer tie to your application, and you can run on event based (S3, SNS, email notification via SNS). It's quite awesome. You can probably build a public API using Lambda and API Gateway.

However, once you start using Lambda, like distributed system, testing becomes a challenge if you are used to testing everything you own in one or two monolithic codebase. I wish someone could come up with a mock version of AWS :-)
I would say changing the resulting data in a meaningful way is still changing the API. The API contract is not only the verbs that they can use but the nouns that you send back.
