Not sure which operating systems are still pushing the enveloppe but I get the impression that these system designs are congealing.

BSD and Solaris were different enough to create real competition, if only friendly. Now it seems that momentum of linux has turned it into the only real option for doing "serious" things, unless you need the license freedom of BSD for an embedded device.

What even is Vanilla JavaScript these days?
I have freebsd in one of my VMs and like it very much. One reason I am reluctant to move it as my primary OS is the lack of CUDA support (this might be an nvidia thing and not the fault of freebsd devs). But still it's seems to be a blocker.

Is there a way to make CUDA work in freebsd? Would be glad to know.
It would be cool if someone added a car designer to this. I wonder if I could design a car based on intuition that would perform better than the algo could generate.

Also, there is a bug I see.
I've found that a high intensity workout is more effective than a low one - even comparing a jog to a run.

A few weeks ago, I could feel the depression setting in, and several runs that started with 8 minute miles didn't seem to stop it. So I resolved to go faster (read: got pissed and sprinted), ran a 6:21 mile (my fastest since I started measuring last year) and it was like spring cleaning for my brain.

Leg strength was tested by "Leg Extensor Power Rig," a custom-built instrument in one of these medical school labs (Nottingham Med School). It's important to remember that for all of these strength tests on average citizens you want an exercise that doesn't require coaching or good form, so no squats, sadly....

> All these ambiguities we can solve

We can solve it by specify what each word means. That's no different than programming.

Also, your step 4 has bug because "repeating the clone process" does not include "rotating and scale it to fit" part. It'll just keep cloning the square all days and never get the square to be the size of a dot.

Also, If you screen is not a square and you did not start in the center of the screen. Then the square can be as small as a dot, but it won't be "in the middle of the screen".
It's a good thing that logic is not lost on them then!
Exactly. As the saying goes, whenever I hear "what every programmer needs to know about ...", I unsafety my Browning.

I think that the solution to this problem is one of the few things that nodejs got right. Instead of declaring a global dependency on `require("D")`, you assign it a variable name. Then, each package can declare its sub-dependencies, and even when the versions differ, the different versions are kept in a different scope.

https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html

// Package A:
import B from "B"; // A/node_modules/B/1.0.0
import C from "C"; // A/node_modules/C/1.0.0

// Package B:
import D from "D"; // A/node_modules/B/1.0.0/node_modules/D/1.0.0

// Package C:
import D from "D"; // A/node_modules/C/1.0.0/node_modules/D/2.0.0
Correct. My observation is: The good people that come into politics either stay small numbers in the back-row ... or they get corrupted by the system and the money and maybe end up as top politician, some even as president -- but they are no good people anymore.

That is the requirement for becoming somebody in politics.
> I guess Linux has SystemD and the BSDs have NextBSD to be fearful of.

Pretty much. But the FreeBSD developers have a history of being much more conservative on these types of changes. But then again, Debian used to as well. So you never know.

I'm all for people experimenting and trying out new types of init systems and the like. I just don't like having them forced upon me when they're clearly not ready for production. I'm also really worried about the lock-in effects. The BSDs are already feeling the pain of software growing dependencies on the unportable systemd (the most egregious was Brasero, a CD-burning tool, recently having an argument over a systemd dependency.) I don't want to see the BSDs repeat the same mistake.

It's enough "fun" dealing with networking idiosyncrasies like SO_NOSIGPIPE vs MSG_NOSIGNAL, kqueue vs epoll; audio idiosyncrasies like OSS vs ALSA; input idiosyncrasies like devd vs udev; etc as it is. Let's not add another one with init system dependencies. Desktop applications have done fine for the past 50 years without init system dependencies, why start now?

Submitted because I really wanted to comment on this sentence: "For a startup, work needs to be both faster and more rigorous than an academic lab."

In our academic lab, if we knew how to be faster, more rigorous, or both, we'd be doing it.

The notion that a startup can do rigorous research faster than academia is curious. The scientific journals are not full of the output of startups. Industry in general, and startups in particular, can't expend the resources on covering corner cases and tidying loose ends. The profit is generally in getting the gist of an idea, not in writing it down, vetting every detail, and sharing it broadly for free.
1)
This is a good point, but there's very little evidence in favor that /any/ legitimate terror attacks are stopped by most mass survellience. In other words, we have no data points in favor of it, and every time an event like this happens, it's an additional data point against it.

2)
>if one seems beneficial but dangerous, propose laws to regulate it
Because there's no reason at this point for us to believe that the entities in power will adhere to those laws, as they haven't in the past.

Keep in mind that without Snowden et al there would be almost no one arguing against mass survellience compared to what there is today.

3)
The argument isn't that survellience doesn't collect massive amounts of information on everyone. We know it does that, and everyone should agree. The argument is that despite all of this information, it does not help to protect us in any notable way. In other words, mass survellience is effect at collecting absurd amounts of data on everyone, but it is not effective as a tool to protect us and stop legitimate terrorist threats.
One other thing: for single-objective real-valued problems, CMAES is very strong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMA-ES is a pretty good source.
What every programmer should know: large capacity and blazing fast NAND is poised to change everything you used to know. JEDEC is working on standardizing large capacity NVDIMMs [1][2][3], and that will probably mean at the very least a new tier in this hierarchy. And perhaps changes to swap, filesystems, databases, and boot/initialization will come to capitalize on this new tier.

Here's a solution to the diamond dependency problem: Imports can only be done for a specific lexical scope. Also, imports must specify a particular version. Lastly, calls to a package go to a specific version of the package, and types are defined in a specific version. (This is why all imports must be done for a specific lexical scope.)

The same scheme could be used to resolve diamond dependencies in multiple inheritance as well.
I work on the OCA team at Netflix. I can confirm we run FreeBSD on our CDN servers.

I was at Google for several years before Netflix, and I believe that any claims of FreeBSD being used by Google are either outdated or misguided. AFAIK, Google was linux from day 1.

Then we need a faster and more accurate culturing process. At least from my experience it was neither of those things, and it's hard to say we should leave someone with a potentially deadly infection to lay around for a couple days while trying to figure out what bacteria is infecting them.

This is just a crap game where you can pay real money to speed up progress, probably vaguely similar to Clash of Clans.

Apparently the "innovation" is that you can solve simple programming problems (i.e. write algorithmic code that passes tests) instead of paying real money (not clear if it's only in some or all cases).

Yep. I think that science is finding that "parasite" as we've understood it is prejudicial and covers up many of the benefits we had no idea these things provided. Some of them filter heavy metals in sharks. Some of them prevent hay fever or other allergies. They seem to have a huge impact on incidence of autoimmune disorders.

They also do plenty of unpleasant things!

Joesb if anything you are proving my point! As another human you saw large ambiguities in my instructions but could still figure out 1. the problems (you knew no one would clone the square infinitely as it wouldn't 'make sense') and 2. the required solutions (i probably meant scale+rotate as well to be included in the cloning process, otherwise no interesting visual change would happen).

Tell me what programming language / compiler can do that by just specifying word meanings? Context, sentence structure, your understanding, etc all play into it as well.

So this may be considered hijacking, but here goes. What the EFF, and many others, get wrong is that this is terrorism aimed at the West because of 'our freedoms', or these are religious nutters who want to kill Westerners because jihad, porn, alcohol, the prophet told them to, it's in the Quran, etc.

The larger picture reveals that it's chickens coming home to roost (and I am not going to go into the long list of foreign policy actions that create the resentment). The Western public should not expect that their government's actions do not have consequences.

From a purely selfish PoV, you can expect that if your government is willing to kill/maim/oppress/steal/lie/cheat people of another nation, for whatever reason, that this will soon start happening to you (and it has - look around).

Pushing back against initiatives like this is futile. The fear your government sows will override any concerns for loss of civil liberties. So long as they get to use words like terrorists, Islamic Extremism, radicals and militants they control the conversation. And every time you use those words you set your argument back.

More pertinently, the West has a long, long history of violence against the other. Study that history as that is the only thing that will let you to question your presumption of superiority and allow you to open your eyes to the terrible suffering the West inflicts every day.
I agree with this article completely. I've worked on a few platform implementations for publishers and this is a very crowded, complex space. The business model is really more around service and support, and no publisher is going to let another publisher embed themselves that deeply into their company (not to mention the paranoia about giving a potential competitor access to your article library and metadata). Platforms evolve over time, and you don't want your competition deciding how you should evolve.

Besides, it's not like there is a shortage of AAA publisher platforms out there. A company like Gawker is also not remotely at the scale that a lot of these platforms can handle: the big thing right now is multi-media CMS that allows a single article to be published online, in print, via syndicated newsfeeds, in multiple languages, etc. Someone like Gawker's business model is far too limited to even address the problems that a lot of publishers have.

As some other commenters (and the photo, contrary to body text) have pointed out, it's actually a shift register.
Most HN partipants rely on brick and mortar businesses, directly or indirectly, as first or second order revenue sources. The Baltic Dry Index is telling us that an unprecedented slowdown in global trade is occuring, the impact of which will be felt by tech firms building and selling logistics solutions, payment platforms, inventory systems, accounting applications, financial modeling software and so much more. The VC community is paying close attention to the global economy, which will impact their willingness to invest. I enjoy reading about undocumented Python regular expression libraries as much as the next guy, but a deflationary spiral spinning unabated is going to impact all our lives far more and very soon.

1) If you were good at detecting terror attacks, wouldn't you want to keep it secret from terrorists about how you actually do it? This is such an obvious point (a direct counterpart to Dr. Strangelove's "the whole point of a doomsday machine is lost if you keep it a secret"), yet so many of those who argue against surveillance don't even consider it, thereby revealing that their primary concern is not even remotely close to actually solving the problem of terrorist attacks. Now, someone who completely doesn't care about whether terrorist attacks happen or not -- is that a rational party to have discussion with?

2) Don't democracies have well-established principles on how to deal with entities in power that try to place themselves outside of law -- without actually preventing those entities from wielding any power whatsoever? Wasn't that the entire point of having a president with a fixed term rather than a king?

I'm not sure why that's relevant, I don't see anything like that in this article. I don't see any usage of words like 'freedom', 'islam', 'extremist', etc., either. As far as I can tell this article is neutral or just nonpresenting with regards to what you've mentioned.
If you download the source of freebsd, the userland tools come together with it, they are developed as a whole with the kernel side of things. Even the clang/llvm compiler will get built by a 'make buildworld'

What are some examples of "illegal transactions"? Under what jurisdiction? Arguably, anything is illegal somewhere, and is also legal somewhere else. Also, what do "conduct" and "some connection to" encompass? Are VPN services considered "illegal"? What about anonymous VPS rental? And what about gambling, in jurisdictions where it's legal?

I get the sense that Coinbase is about as capricious as PayPal. And ought to be avoided for the same reasons.

I don't think most of the policy stuff is even all that 'interesting'. 'Interesting' is learning something new for the sake of learning about the world. Most of the policy stuff is more like "look at this outrageous thing!". In many cases, it's true that the thing in question is important - probably more important than startups/hacking - but there are plenty of other places for those kinds of links/discussions.

I'm curious if this could also be used to help with remittances. I have several friends who emigrated from countries around the world, and they struggle to find an easy way to remit to their parents.

The fees and hurdles they currently deal with are outrageous, and while it looks like the shift card is US only, it seems like there may be an opportunity here.

Maybe just me, I have difficult trust non-traditional payment vendors/system.

Recently have to dispute a charge with paypal - an online vendors didn't ship the product I ordered with paypal. The paypal dispute process was hell. Lucky I used credit with paypal. One 3 minutes phone call with credit card company, problem was solved. After that kind of experience, it is much harder for me to trust other payment system.

I have use this credit card for 20+ year. This is the first time I dispute the charge for not-false charge.

Previous transaction with the same vendor/paypal went thru just fine.

Like typical software development, most of the code are for error condition and exception handling. Error condition and exception handling are much harder for payment system.

Unfortunately, for payment system, if it is that tough for normal user like me to gain trust with paypal, it will be impossible to convince me to put $ into a coin base account.

I tried putting BSD on my laptop, but quickly got annoyed by graphics and sound not working and software missing. I know most things work, and most software is available, but I need more than that.

Now I went back to Ubuntu because I'm to lazy to set up Arch. I'm not even using a tiling VM anymore.

While I see great value in BSD as a server OS, Linux is just much more convenient on the desktop, and this leads to a circle where I use what I know, what I use what I know. So I tend to also run Ubuntu on servers because it's one system less to know.

Though still, if I needed to build a file server, or an environment where security is important, I would take a closer look at BSD.
