For a long time, there was a PHP6 in the works, but then HHVM and Hack came around and started making PHP6 look bad. There was another fork called PHP-NG, I believe, which went in a different direction. There was a huge pissing match in the internals list, and in the end, I think they threw threw out most of the PHP6 proposals and started fresh. To clear up matters, they skipped PHP6 and called it PHP7.

Don't quote me on that, but that's my understanding of it.
The X200 series is thicker, and a bit heavier, but shockingly repairable. :)
Should look at systems of the past for inspiration on that. Remember that old systems couldn't waste MB on stuff. So, they got clever. Hansen's Solo had 4KB trusted kernel with whole OS being 21Kloc of readable Pascal with total image size of 110KB. That includes kernel, filesystem, I/O, editor, and two compilers. Result was type-safe, mostly memory-safe, and concurrency-safe (deadlock & race condition free specifically). People could copy and update old approaches like that for OS side of things then they don't even need a unikernel. ;)

Now, wanting strong separation mechanisms and so on would complicate things. The old security kernels, like STOP OS and GEMSOS, used MMU's, segments, MAC policies, covert channel suppression... you name it. STOP was still only 21,000 Kloc in total:

So, monolithic or micro-kernel route, you can get things way smaller at the foundation than what we use today. Add basic TCP/IP stack, Ethernet driver, and runtime it should still be way smaller than 693K unless that's tons of error or security handling code to increase robustness.

Then you're anchoring much too low. For example, if all of your offers are low, then go in asking what you'd like to make +10%. If they throw you out then you're not worth what you think you are, but if they're willing to negotiate then you might end up where you'd like.

You're angry at the HR person because they're anchoring too low, but you're afraid to anchor at all and you're upset with them.

I'm worried my tiny province in Canada (PEI) will be gone maybe in a 100 years or at least eroded substantially. About 224km (140 miles) long by 60km (37 miles) wide 140,000 people.

The island is all sandstone there is no native rock here the highest point is 142m (466 feet) but the average height I'd say is a metre/a few feet above sea level.

There are places around the island where 30m (100 feet) have washed away just within the last few decades. None of what washed away was replaced by the government it just keeps washing away never to return.

Woah, it can't be stressed how bad this is. If this succeeds, other countries will definitely follow! If it can be shown to work, it will be demanded that this be implemented by pretty much everyone for difficult to deny political reasons (terrorists, children, crime, etc)

Software Creates New Flavors, Some Not for the Squeamish
In Firefox 4, there was a need to implement the HKDF crypto algorithm in a variety of code bases: Java, Javascript, C using OpenSSL, C using NSS. One team coded three implementations. Later, another team coded an implementation. But, that last implementation didn't interop with the first three. Of course, the two teams disagreed about which was wrong, each believing that they were right and the other team was wrong.

Surely if three different implementations in three different languages agree, then the problem is with the fourth, disagreeing implementation! However, the second team annoyingly pointed out that they had automated tests that covered the official test vectors. Well, maybe the tests were coded wrongly too! Well, could the first team implement the tests that include the official test vectors? What a waste of time! There are automated tests that check that the first three implementations all calculate the same results for many random inputs!

It turns out that the very first implementation, in Javascript, had a bug, and that bug was transliterated into two other implementations. But since the second team hated reading Javascript code, and because that team consisted 100% of annoying (but good-looking) pedants, they implemented the algorithm by reading the spec. instead of by copying the first implementation, and so they got it right.

Incidentally, the bug was that the key and value in an HMAC calculation were swapped. HKDF uses HMAC in a counterintuitive way, where the key isn't (necessarily) a secret, but the value is.

If you go into anything with mindset that nothing will change - it's more likely that it will not change.

And if it turns out company is so bad and reacts like you've described - then you at least know you really don't want to be working there anymore.

And when someone in the future asks you "What did you do (to improve/change situation)?" you can say "I tried! I gave it my best - specifically this and that and ..."

What Can You Actually Do with Your Fancy Gene-Editing Technology?
Every attempt to enact communism has gone from a putative dictatorship of the proletariat to a plain dictatorship. With a lot of very nasty consequences along the way. Famines in the Ukraine and China come to mind.

Now, some kind of Platonic ideal of Communism may work perfectly. It's certainly possible, in the sense that the possibility exists in a realm of pure abstraction. However, history shows that getting there isn't very practical and requires oceans of blood. A perfect system that you cannot get to is useless.

Previous work on this avenue of experimentation suggest remarkably strongly that it should not be attempted again.

Well, suppose something told me what I would decide if I gave any matter 15 seconds of consideration. It would be an invaluable tool I might use often, for example for sorting and classifying, throwing out trash and so forth. For example, it would be a fantastic spam classifier, since even after 15 seconds there is no doubt. I could use it to get through hundreds of spam messages easily, or delegate things to appropriate departments and so forth.

But it would not give me "x-ray vision", since at the end the day it is the same thing I myself conclude if I give the matter 15 seconds of consideration. Something that I miss - a genuine mail written the way a spam might be ("hey! it was nice to meet you!" in the subject, etc), by a recent acquaintance I forgot I made - would be misclassified as spam. There is no x-ray vision involved here - it's not training on the data - it's training on me!

I feel the distinction is an important one.
I doubt it. For example, Excite already had an e-mail product, so I can't see them creating Gmail.
A connection between the simulated universe's speed of light and its host CPU's clock speed would imply real-time simulation. I see no reason why that would necessarily be the case for a simulated universe; most research-grade physics simulations humans run today aren't real-time. (They would be real-time or faster if we had the hardware to run them that way — I imagine a sufficiently accurate physics "REPL" would help a researcher tremendously — but we make do without them.)
Ah, gotcha.

I haven't played in a while so I'm out of touch as far as figuring out what changes are significant.

I looked over their development page (http://bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html) and can't figure out if what's listed as upcoming (job prioritization? taverns? non-player artifcats?) will be major as far game play.

They do list work related to "starting scenarios for your fortresses" which touches a bunch of other subsystems - maybe that will be a large and noticeable change.
Not sure how it's damning. The premise of the article isn't Maxwells equation and the point of the quoted text isn't the validity of that specific claim but rather that there are objective definitions.

In other words it might be a wrong scientific claim right there (I don't know enough about Maxwells equation) but that doesn't mean that it's damaging the rest of the article since it's not a scientific point that it's trying to make but a philosophical one.

I am not saying it's ok to be sloppy or wrong just that sometimes right conclusions and useful perspectives can happen even though some of the details are wrong.

It's not a scientific paper and as far as I read it shouldn't be read as such IMO.

But each to their own of course.
Haha, I've actually seen that video last week or so on reddit and said "uh oh, nice" :)..

[EDIT] (SPOILERS!) I also take the vast wilderness outside the protagonist's window at the end to be real, not some kind of illusion or projection. I do so because the episode is more effective that way, so I'd guess that's what's intended—the viewer thinks this must be some kind of overcrowded dystopic future world-city or something the whole time, or that the Earth's surface is uninhabitable, or that this isn't even Earth, and that everyone's forced to live this way, but the reveal of the wilderness raises the possibility that in fact people could leave, but simply do not, and in retrospect one realizes that no pervasive, ultra-strict police force or anything similar is depicted. The closest they come are the drugged drinks, which are only given in some circumstances to some people (compare: anxiety meds, sleeping pills, et c.). We never see anyone try to resist the collection of "detritus", for example. The protagonist damages what may well be public property in his private room, and no-one seems to care. People are demoted to janitor status, but, crucially, we don't see them dragged away screaming or anything like that.

In fact the people of that world choose same option we see the protagonist choose on the gameshow, really, just less dramatically, every single day. Safety, comfort, and familiarity over freedom.

>It's kind of like asking "what do I have to do to make my song a #1 hit?"

Sure, but it's also kind of like asking - Given the fact that all these songs are number one, could we extract some common features?

Maybe you'll find out that songs have to be shorter than 3 minutes or nobody plays them on the radio, or that they have to be dynamically compressed within a certain frequency range because most people listen to music on hardware that does not reproduce certain frequencies very well, or that having a weird time signature makes a song unpopular, etc.

>I wouldn't want to work for anybody that trusts people who are too petty or too clueless to make good hiring decisions.

Hah, that would exclude a large portion of the professional software industry !
In order for any simulation to proceed at a steady state, there must be at least one constant. Everything else can be variable, but in order for time to progress at the same "tick", it has to have something to measure by.

That said, why create a "tick" when the perception of that tick can vary by individual? When I go into code mode, 10 hours can slip by in an instant, and I'm not hungry or thirsty until I come out of it.

Perhaps it's just an affectation of focus, as time still "ticked" by at it's normal rate.

Einstein said that the effects of time move more slowly the closer you get to C, so it makes sense that C would be the univeral "tick" if this was a simulation. As evidenced by Mars rovers and Voyager, an earth clock on another planet or in space still ticks at the same rate (Voyager and Mars are moving through space at the same rate we are moving around the sun, about 61,000km/hour).

There's no other reason for light to move at a steady speed, and nothing apparent that's stopping it from going faster.

While Russia does encroach on various Internet liberties, it does so quite lazily so far. It does not have a great firewall, it does not have force-fed SSL certs, it does not crack down on the widespread VPN usage. When Roskomnadzor blacklists certain resources, Internet providers enforce it at their leisure, it seems, because different users report a resource either be blocked or not.

"The strictness of Russian laws is compensated by their optional enforcement", as they say.

In a smaller country like Kazakhstan such things are easier to enforce, probably.

At the same time I understand why it would be more confusing for newbies.

Ask HN: Steeper learning curve for back end using phonegap. Rails or Node.js?
I am about to start learning either rails or node.js (express) for back-end development. The plan is once I have learned, down the line I would like to make my web-app also be on mobile. I don't foresee myself learning the native languages for iOS and Android so the plan is to use phonegap.

For rails vs node.js , if I already have a back-end built for a web-app would one or the other be better/easier/more suited to link up to phonegap? Or would it be more or less the same? (just individual preference for which one to use)
Thanks!
The Hidden Art of Fore-Edge Book Painting
I think we are talking past each other. People who are alive at 30 can't die at 5, but people at birth could die at 5. So, just by being 30+ or 60+ a populations life expectancy increases. Which is why actuarial tables include ages.

So, to see if Astronauts are living unusually longer than other people you need to look at life expectancy's of people who where 30 around 1960's.

Now, they might sill be living longer than that group. But, it does not seem like that's the comparison your making.
The two can correlate, so "based on content" isn't enough, "based objectively/justifiably on content" is.

e.g What if the basis was about the non-/usage of gender-neutral pronouns?

> John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Edgar Mitchell all lived beyond the average life expectancy of American males born when they were born.

I'd imagine astronauts are more likely than the overall population to have good healthcare, good pensions, etc. Helps live longer.
I'm in a regulated industry, and we'd be considered a "very small entity". What we're doing is likely overkill for you, but how we go about things might be of interest.

We develop under a spiral process and requirements are right at the threshold of when we're going under design control. We start out in Emacs org-mode. I developed a custom template and scripts that tries, to the best of my ability, to corral people into following ISO 29148. The engineering team uses a table view to track the requirements while we're collecting them, and there is a script to export into a pretty LaTeX document for stakeholders to view and redline. We keep the requirements in org-mode while we're collecting them because plain text is easy (and nice) to deal with for revision control. Everything is maintained in Fossil while it's in this state. Once we've ready to lock the requirements under design controls, we export into Excel via CSV for V&V. Under design controls, paper hardcopies become the authoritative record; doing things electronically is too expensive for us.

It'd be neat to one day be fully electronic throughout the process… I could easily see many groups being able to keep things fully electronic, and org-mode is a nice foundation to build a system on top of: it's just structured enough, but at the end of the day it's human-readable text. Heinlein said "once you're in low Earth orbit you're halfway to anywhere", I say, "once you're in org-mode, you're half way to anywhere".
This is what HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) protects against.

It allows a server to specify the only set of certificates that a browser should accept. Meaning that MITM'ing is impossible, without a valid cert in the chain of one of the advertised trusted certificates from the server.

Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Chrome for Android, and the Android stock browser all support it.

I'm not sure how they intend to circumvent this problem, apart from perhaps just instructing users to not use those browsers? That's quite difficult to put into practice.

Creolabs: New Language, IDE and UI framework for building native apps
A fun one that I came across was a test (in an old rails app I was maintaining) that failed only on the 29th January in years preceding leap year.

The test was:

On 29th Jan 2015, 13.months.from_now is 29th Feb 2016; but 1.month.from_now = 28th Feb, plus a year gives 28th Feb 2016.

"stable". "new-enough"

This is a leading word. As is a lot of that paragraph. For many tools some companies use, Debian certainly is NOT "new-enough" with many package choices. Nor is Ubuntu inherently NOT "stable" - and still trails a little behind the leading edge. As for upgrades, I've watched many a server upgrade seamlessly from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 to 14.04. I'm sure there can be and has been many a person, many a thread who've not had seamless experiences. But the same applies for Debian - heck, even the release manual has a section entitled "How To Recover A Broken System" with reference to system upgrades.

"non-free firmware/drivers"

How often needed? In this article alone, IPMI, BMC, RAID, BIOS.
