Glad to hear it.

Here's some bullet point thoughts:
1) Workflow needs to be uber-fast and not require saving/naming the images (at least at the user level, the program will of course). Many images are screen shots from SW installs. Workflow goes: Run SW in VM-> screenshot portion of interest -> Copy+Paste into word doc. I never even save the image in that case. The rest of the images are photos of HW. I just want to drag and drop into the document, not rename them all and move them to a same folder with the document. The document/CMS/program should take care of that all for me (like Word does).

2) I do need the text and images to match better and be more WYSIWYG. Location is more important than aesthetics for a guide. It cannot be the abomination that LaTeX is. LaTeX figures are terrible to work with (and that's having published multiple academic papers + PhD thesis in LaTeX). Sizing is less important (that can be [width=x, height=y]).

3) Variables/snippets: Libraries of text snippets and variables is what we do quite a bit of. Right now with a few kludged together macros and custom Word doc properties. Lots of docs go "Run the <SW install name> for <device>" with <> items defined at document level. Sounds like you do this, and it's probably better than how word does :)

sorry for dumping on ya, but I'm excited to find people working in this space. It's something I feel like there should be better tools for but just haven't found yet.
> They would like to have the photo in addition to the experience

You don't get to have both. You have to take time out of the experience to take a picture of it.

> typically so that they can remember it.

This reason makes sense if the person has some form of alzheimer's, sure.

If you want something to remind you of it: have T-shirts I bought at every concert I've ever been to, which have the benefit of supporting the band and not taking time from the show and the experiences of the people behind me. They're also something I'll actually look at on a regular basis, because there are few enough of them that I can realistically look through them all, and most of them are still in good enough condition that I wear them occasionally. I've recently switched to buying records at the concerts instead, which has an even more direct connection to the experience.

> spending five minutes snapping a few photos at a two hour concert is not going to "ruin" anything.

Except those five minutes.
>Yes, there is power there, no, we have no practical way of harvesting that power, the best we can do is to try to either get out of the way or to shed it in a way that it does not do damage.

So you sample for areas of a storm you can more predicatively than other places?

>The events are too rare, to unpredictable and too powerful to be practically harvestable.

But the distribution isn't uniform if you look at occurrence of where it happens on earth, some places are more likely to form storm systems vs others.
> I'll take your word on the smart pointers doing bounds-checks as I'm not up-to-date on all the techniques of C++ developers. Academics need to do a fresh take on that with assessments vs particular risks & compared to current languages.

That's kind of already happened. Stroustrup has done a whole ton of work in that area with Concepts.

> Meanwhile, most in safety-critical development that I know of don't use C++ because it's too complex and unsafe per them.

It turns out that provable correctness invariably involves a fair bit of complexity (you are basically compiling a mathematical proof). People use Haskell and Coq to really do it right, and --surprise-- those turn out to be hard for programmers to learn.

A lot of other, more popular, high level languages are actually terrible for provable correctness, even if they are better for proving memory safety. C++ isn't as effective for the job, but it has the advantage of being great for integrating in with the platform. It is a trade off, but one that is well worth while.

> So, do you have any resources showing that C++ code is safe and analysable if one just uses smart pointers?

This stuff goes back a way, but stemmed from Modern C++ Design. There is a whole world of policy based design where you use the type system (much as with Haskell and Coq) to enforce declarative policies.

The quick thought experiment would be something like this:

template <class T>
struct SafeRef {
void check() { ... }
operator T&() { check(); return *x; }
operator const T&() const { check(); return *x; }
private:
T* x;
};

You can override operator-> to make it behave more like a proper pointer. CRTP gives you some pretty powerful ways of getting the job done too.

Sure, but that's in theory. In practice we have tons of uninformed people -- which one can see not just in personal encounters but in all kinds of polls and research --, and a heavy increase in shallow entertainment.
I've kickstarted a few things, but only with tiny amounts ($24 and $12) and only for things that I couldn't find in the open market. I think Kickstarter has great potential and has brought about numerous things, but just like any tool it's got people who know how to use it and do well, and people who don't and blow their foot off.

This goes both ways: A lot of the large kickstarters that make the news usually have gotten gobs more money than they ever thought possible from way more backers than they thought they would get. Then they're buying offices, cars, some fancy headquarters and all this other bullshit they didn't need.

Were I to do that, not one sodding penny is going anywhere that isn't directly related to getting my backers what they paid for. I get that kickstarter isn't a store (people love to say that) and it's a risk, but just because the risk isn't yours doesn't mean you shouldn't mitigate it. You're spending other people's money for Christ's sake.

By the same token, there were a lot of people who got burned on obviously fake/impossible projects but quite frankly, that falls into the category of stupid tax for me. A fool and his money are soon parted, etc. etc.

I do wish there were more legal routes for burned backers though, in the current system the backers are taking all the risk and if someone's kickstarter goes tits up they just walk away, usually hardly affected (and potentially Internet famous). I understand that's the risk involved, but it effectively puts the people in charge of decisions in charge of managing the risk taken by people they have no legal obligations too, which never goes well. (See the Banking collapse.)

That seems counterfactual to me, but that's just my opinion.
The interest rate doesn't determine whether or not something is debt - I have a 0% interest car loan, yet it's still considered debt.

Kickstarter funds are a loan for a finite time that's paid back in product. And if the product costs more to produce than estimated, that cost overrun is the cost of the debt - i.e. interest.

> since you are handing your data to a third party, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy

Sure - just like sending a letter, or driving around town...right? We already use third party service providers in the physical world which come with some (legally enforceable) expectations of privacy. Why is the digital domain different?
Oh I totally agree- I was more just saying that is what I picture in my mind when I read about these "mysterious" transmissions. Seem like a subplot to a movie.

Doesn't matter when we are talking about DTAG, which is the dominant ISP and will not peer for free. Yeah, you can peer with a lot of smaller networks which is nice, but not enough.

Same applies for the US market where the big players refuse to peer.

You're right, _you_ can write immutable data structures in any language. But for example, immutable.js and/or mori do practically nothing to fix the mutability problems with javascript, since immutability is not the default.
To be clear, I'm not meaning to criticize, just understand my confusion and explore terminology.

I agree with your starting point, but to my mind type classes are precisely a way to "make [types] implement an interface". I completely agree that it is often impractical to do so by defining new types.

I'll address the rest when I have a little more bandwidth - I hope you'll forgive me; between interesting projects at work, a new baby, and holiday goings on, attention is in high demand.

In Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep I recall a plot element along these lines. Traders traffic in cubes of material that acts as a super dense source of pad data. Your communication partner on another ship would have the twin cube, and the two would be synced up and then provide the carrier data stream for video and other content. When your cubestuff is exhausted your secure authenticated comms cease.

I can't imagine this is the case, but what if they're building an OS/UI/experience that car manufacturers would build into their vehicles? That would go against everything they've ever done but would be easier and would remove them from direct liability (depending on what features it offered). 30% on a car might be difficult for even Apple to pull off but 30% on a $2-5K option would probably be something most people would spring for. I imagine it would put Google in a tough position, even if they had superior features (like better self-driving).

Ask HN: Would this be legal?
suppose I have a chrome extension that allows anyone to monitor any website for new items, and when a new link appears, it opens a new tab to display the contents of the link. After the extension displays the contents of the link, it sends the html to my app, and my app processes it in some way and sends it back to the user in an email or something.

I imagine a site like Hacker News would have no problem with this. But if you take a site like Craig's List (canonical example) which has a litigious history, I could see them potentially having a problem. However, in this case I am not interacting with Craig's List in any way I am simply doing some processing on some text that is being sent to me.

EDIT: what does craigslist mean by "software expressly licensed by us" does this mean I can send them an email and get them to okay my software if its not something that is competitive with craigslist?

It would seem very much in keeping for Apple to start selling a car geared towards drivers: luxury, control, response, the craft of driving, of a piece with the old "Drivers Wanted" VW campaign (but, yknow, with more Jony). Get that Pro/Creative market locked down.

Then 2–3 years later, after the kinks have been worked out, they do the self-driving model.

I really appreciate your feedback. I don't lack confidence, and happily accept constructive comments from my coworkers. The thing I'm having trouble with is my coworkers treating me like I'm inexperienced and untrained (both untrue). They want me to always trust everything they say without question, but don't want to give my suggestions any consideration. If I discover I'm wrong, I readily admit this and adopt the correct thinking. If they're wrong, they belittle me.

What I like about your comment is that it reminds me that I don't need to get bent out of shape about my coworkers problems. If they aren't good at accepting feedback, they're the ones who aren't learning and growing. I can just keep on progressing on my own until I find an opportunity to work somewhere with a more healthy environment.
I'm curious about how the remote bootstrapper works. Is there a way to determine which sites are served by CDN and obtain a list of that CDN's edge servers without having a database in the first place?
That's my understanding as well. This is the reason why you are caught between the rock and a hard place on the Hadoop stack. Java code wont be efficient in terms of FLOPs and a popular and often effective escape hatch: code number crunching parts in C, C++ or Fortran, is also not very effective / convenient. Particularly so if it requires going back and forth over the bridge frequently because crossing the bridge has significant overhead. So typically you have to move majority of the core into the high performant language of choice and what remains is glue. If gluing is what I want to do, there are other languages that can give Java stiff competition. The core capability thing going for Java in this domain is HDFS, and its not that great a file system for big data.

Here's a pdf of the article [1]. I'd love to hear a guru on quantum computation (maybe @michael_nielsen [2]) describe how quantum error correcting codes might interface with this result. I thought the whole point of quantum computing was that it needed to be reversible, so if you add quantum ECC, can you still do it?

I'm curious if the person who suggested or posted this to Hacker News knows if this is for sure cool, or if they just were dazzled (as I am) by the Q word.

I think the problem here is that nested comprehensions and filter comprehensions are almost always too complex. If you are doing something that requires that, you should break it up and give the pieces names:

odd_numbers = range(1, limit, 2)
doubled_odd_numbers = [n * 2 for n in odd_numbers]

They COULD do that but they almost certainly aren't doing that. That's a tedious task that requires a lot of time and technically competent employees.

Also we are talking about apps implementing certificate pinning. Not reading from the OS store etc., and therefore, I don't see Kazakhstan reverse engineering and patching executables.

I was at the [fantastic] show last night. The team handling the Yondr pouches were friendly and efficient. It's weird to have your phone in your pocket without being able to use it. Akin to a dead battery, but bigger. I'd been concerned that it was going to take forever to leave the venue because we had to line up to get our phones out of the pouches, but they were also friendly and perfectly efficient on the way out. I'd say it didn't add any more time than getting a 21+ wristband on the way in, and even quicker while leaving.

The show was absolutely more enjoyable. I don't personally care if people check their phones and record live shows, but I absolutely despise when my view is obstructed by someone waving their device around trying to get a shot. I'm here to watch a relatively expensive live show, not watch other people record it.

As a potential downside, the opening comedian hadn't showed up, which left us sitting and watching / listening to the DJ for 2 hours before Dave Chapelle hit the stage. The DJ did an excellent job keeping the crowd entertained, but there were a few lulls where I would have loved to pop into HN or Reddit or something since it was literally idle time.

Sure, there was plenty of interaction, chatting, some dancing, and other fun with people around us. And maybe there was more than there would have been otherwise. But I still felt a bit like I was being punished. I know perfectly well how to balance being social with staring at a screen, and I'd rather not have that option taken from me. There were three times in that two hours that a quick google or calendar lookup would have enlightened rather than hindered the moment.

Who knows the consequence for someone who is "on-call"? I haven't been on call in a few years, but I'd hate to have to miss a great show because of it.

All in all, I'd say it was well implemented and an interesting exercise that might be a bit hard to swallow depending on the show, the venue, and our various communication needs. I was happy to do it for one of my all-time favorite comedians. It's not likely I would have participated for a smaller show.

Edit: sidebar - in the article it says...

Simply leave the designated zone (and head, say, to the lobby bar), and, as you move past several strategically placed stations, the pouches can now magically be unlocked.

We had to go to the tables at the exit (or to the downstairs bar outside of the venue) for them to release the locks with a big magnet akin to the anti-theft contraptions at retail clothing stores. Maybe they just used those because it's a much smaller venue, or maybe the "designated zone" isn't prime-time yet.
Well, there's also a self-fulfilling aspect when it comes to top ten VCs doing consistently well. Entrepreneurs and startups that are somewhat successful / proven can pick any VCs they want. And they pick the well respected (ie, historically successful) VCs.

The bit about having kids is a red herring. It's not the poor people directing the consumption of resources, but the rich. The problem stems from wealth inequality and capitalism creating obscene incentives (and granting the power to pursue them).

Of course, less humans would help but it's not like the beggars in India are consuming all that much.

> To date the only examples of this done with a measure of effectiveness are actually entire operating system distributions backed by software like apt, yum, pkg-src, etc.

npm seems to handle this just fine for both JS and native (c++) node modules via gyp, and it's officially supported on at least three platforms (Windows, Linux, OS X) using 3 different compilers AFAIK (microsoft c/c++, gcc and clang respectively). Granted, node enforces specific conventions for packaging and lookup (package.json and node_modules), but there's no reason similar conventions can't be created for C/C++ modules, even if they're more complicated due to language specific complexity (dynamic vs static linking). Mantaining packages up to date for a lot of open source projects could be done by a sufficiently dedicated community.
