Despite the word "transplant", bone marrow transplants are not done surgically; they are done by infusion of donor cells into the bloodstream. Then, the cells seek out their own niche and engraft.
Then it is up to the community/Khronos to provide the same tooling and support games developers enjoy from Apple, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo.

GPU vendors don't care much about API support tooling, as long as their hardware gets sold.
I've had good experience with Cython, which compiles python to C and gets almost all of the speedup of rewriting in C entirely. And in fact, most of that speedup just comes from declaring variable types...
It seems like this is challenging the way information is presented. I heard facebook is using deep learning to solve similar problem (http://www.wired.com/2015/10/facebook-artificial-intelligenc...).

Longspeaks has the CAD industry to thank for.
Fixes like this remind me of installing TweakUI on Windows 98, or dodgy bits of freeware to have multiple desktops on Windows etc.

Installing Kubuntu fixed all of the issues at once, and should I decide to fix the issues it introduced at least I'm improving open source software.
Ban all factory ships from unloading freight for one or two generations.
No, that won't do it. As long as people think the market is still going up, when old people "start dropping off the perch" their property will be be snapped up at a premium.

The price of property can't keep going up indefinitely. When it stops going up, speculators will start to dump their stock, and that will turn into a panic.
Sorry, meant to say "ought", not "is". I'm mostly interested in what you think is appropriate, not what the justice system would do, today, with the laws and courts as they are.
I have the XPS 13 Developer Edition, and it's a fine laptop in many ways... But it's marketed as a Linux laptop, yet requires a proprietary WiFi driver. After I upgraded my kernel a month ago, the WiFi started kernel panicking randomly and often, so I don't bother even using the computer anymore... I just use a full screen terminal on my old MacBook and ssh to a VPS. One day I'll reinstall the driver or something, but, god damn, why must everything suck?
> Did the shooter say she was "in ISIS", or that she pledged allegiance to the leader?

Either one would seem to constitute probable cause for an association. Of course we don't know if she was actually in ISIS, or just agreed with their beliefs. But how would we know without conducting further investigation? You seem to be demanding a somewhat unreasonably large burden of proof, when all that is needed in this case is probable cause. Frankly, even if she hadn't verbally declared allegiance to ISIS, I don't think it's a stretch to say there's probable cause for connection to other terrorist groups. The fact that she did say that makes it a slam dunk.

> I think a system can function in which some evidence that a search will yield results is required before the search is conducted. I do not think that the evidence must be airtight.

We do have such a system. The evidence you're describing is called probable cause, and that's the whole point. I'm not sure of any reasonable definition of probable cause that this situation wouldn't satisfy. Moreover, your objections seem to be in the form of vague misgivings rather than concrete arguments. You haven't precisely described what would constitute sufficient evidence for an investigation, but instead seem to just be saying "there's not enough right now." I think this is what's behind GPs frustrations responding to your posts.
iOS UI Automation Test Framework
The Server chips are pretty much always a generation back, having a development cycle to try to fix any erratum that may have popped up, as well as to do work to rearrange cores, cache, add a good amount of IO, and ditch things like the onboard graphics.

Intel's supposed to be releasing the E5 v4s in the next few weeks, which will be Broadwell based. edit: These are also Broadwell based, supplanting the Haswells they released last year.
> This means that you can update a new application without having to upgrade half of your system. In Linux, you usually have the choice of: stable OS, outdated software. Up to date software, in-flux OS.

I've never seen an application on Linux asking to update half of my system libraries or something. Please stop using hyperbole, this is not useful for the sake of conversation.

On top of that, you can install recent software in many ways (OpenSUSE has specific, updated repositories that can be triggered with one-click on their website, Ubuntu has pretty much the same thing with PPAs) or you can even build everything from source on Arch with AUR and just ensure you have updated libraries as required (which is not half of your system).

And if you don't want to update ANY of your system libraries, it's fairly straightforward symlink local versions of libraries instead of system ones.
Ask HN: FOMO a factor for accepting a job offer
I recently completed a job hunt and had several offers at the end. I ended up picking one, and reflecting on it now, I think part of the reason was FOMO. The company did a very good job selling me on their growth story, and I was afraid that I would regret not taking a chance to work there.

I'm now having second thoughts about this. It doesn't seem like a good reason to accept an offer. Some of the other offers were better in terms of culture fit, type of work, etc., but when I thought about accepting those I got hit with a case of FOMO.

Does anyone have experiences with this? Did you accept (or not) a job offer because you thought the company would grow a lot? Regrets? Happy about it?

You are right, I think if all the information is dumped on user it wouldn't really help. This sort of research makes sense for facebook since it applies to instagram and whatsapp as well. If you know anything about the facebook work other than the article you linked. do share!
You can sue the person who sold it to you and attempt to recover the money.

China can sell US bonds to buyers for slightly less than the US government. This would actually create more liquidity in the US bond market but effectively reduce the US government's ability to finance more debt. The US government would have to sell bonds even cheaper to finance more debt. Whether this would have a big effect would depend on a lot of other factors but it's a significant playing card in the Chinese hand.
Well, it's defining it in projective space; in projective space, the polynomial has to be homogeneous to make sense. If you were working in affine space, you wouldn't have that requirement -- but then the theorem wouldn't be true without first passing to projective space, I imagine. Which would involve taking your polynomial and adding an extra variable so as to make it homogeneous.
I don't remember. I would check power usage with powertop and make sure you've got no 'bad' indicators on the 'Tunables' tab (actually I think I still have one bad). On the 'Device Stats' tab you should be able to get 'system baseline power usage' under 5 watts under light loads. I run mine with display brightness fairly low, 20% or 30%, but it's still has comparable brightness to my other main laptop's (Lenovo x220) full brightness.
It's true that a function in an expressive language can be 10 lines, which in C is 70 lines just because of verbosity (repeated assigns instead of constructors and so on). So while the threshold is certainly higher in C, this is still too large. It does 3-4 things conceptually but 2 (lookups) are already broken out. I can see at least one opportunity more for extracting a function. It's important not least because of testing.

It is not like that. Because there is also quantity. Lets assume that good apples are $5, great $10 - for $10 I get one kg of great and 2 of $5. The great apple have to provide twice bang for the buck to be competitive.

If we slap 20$ tariff - for $30 bucks i get 1kg of great apples or 1.2 kg of good apples.

(That is assuming I want to eat roughly a kg of apples)
It might be for a package maintainer or if you aspire to be. As a develop I have no aspiration for that.

Homebrew frequently requires you to manually perform steps or edit files. While it might not be directly homebrews fault, that 100% disqualifies it for the label "It's actually better".
Except that you miss a very important point - nobody cares about the stuff you listed. I build models and use shiny to create a front end for clients to interact with them. They are very happy and pay me very handsomely. I can assure you that this is the case across the board. R is for analysts, not for programmers. It seems like programmers feel intimidated, because analysts now code their solutions themselves.

I was thinking about buying this exact machine. Does Bluetooth work well on Ubuntu out of the box?
These can only support a single socket per box. Also, Windows Server has charged per physical processor for the past several editions, instead of per core, so the $400 version would do. Now, if you wanna see sticker shock, ask to see what Oracle will charge to run on the box.
Not really "minimal" but it's very easy to get started with and has everything you need: http://semantic-ui.com/

I purchased a System76 Galago UltraPro (this model does not seem to be available anymore) at the end of 2014. I have been observing System76 for a year or more before I caved in and purchased this. I live in Finland - and they shipped it across. I really love this laptop. I'm also a Mac user (Air, Pro etc) and I expected the build quality to be lower, but it was surprisingly solid. Perhaps their build quality has improved? Also, one of the most common complaints was about their keyboard and it seems they have fixed this - I have had no problems. I love having a Ubuntu portable for my day-to-day devops work over VPN and with everything set up (all my tools, IDE's etc), it's been a pleasure. Their new line up looks impressive (I'm tempted to get another one). But yes, the battery life is really bad - 2-3 hour max or even less if you have IntelliJ or a VM running. So I have placed a power adapter at all my usual work locations :)
Edit : spelling
> Lyft, Uber, and Airbnb are betting that reputation systems (ratings, reviews, etc.) will provide assurance for consumers just as well if not better than government regulation. So far the market is showing they just might be right.

Like Zenefits, the government regulation that Lyft, Uber, and Airbnb are skirting has one important consequence: It protects the rest of us who are not their customers from them. If a Yellow Cab driver does something dumb, malicious, or against the rules, I can complain to the city regulatory authority and that agency can take action. If it fails to take action, I can pressure my elected leaders to correct that stance. If it takes action in an open way that is transparent to the populace and finds that I am not correct in my complaint, so be it. I need not be a customer of Yellow Cab to complain about the actions of one of its drivers.

Replacing public rules enforcement with "reputation systems" is completely useless if I never enter into a business arrangement with those companies. As it stands, the only way I can complain about any of them--especially with Zenefits actively working to hide its bypass activities from the relevant authorities--is to be a customer and poorly rank some allegedly-independent-contractor. Or I can use Twitter and complain publicly but get drowned out by the noise.

That's no substitute, in my opinion.
One factor not discussed in this article is the demographic headwinds that China is heading into. Their one child policy is only now resulting in greatly distorted working age ratios, which means that their non-working elderly population is increasing faster than the population of workers to support them. With a safety net in place that relies heavily on existing familial structures rather than government programs, there are reasons to be concerned about declining aggregate demand over the next several years, precisely as China is trying hardest to transition from export-led growth to a larger, domestically-focused economy.
Actually I thought that, however in my company we bought 2 MacBook Pro's (Late 2013), we used two different distributors. Actually one (mine) works totally fine, except that the AC Power Adapter is totally shitty (damnit Apple MagSafe cable sucks). However his laptop had some really aweful bugs even that we are running the complete same version of Apple Mac OS X we even installed the image from my computer. At the last month his OS X gave up totally (currently he used Bootcamp so not a big deal), but at the moment he can't even boot os x
Like GPS, but for Your Sex Drive
We did an evaluation recently. Not even close.
We use Vagrant and Chef to provision everything, and where possible, I like to keep my OS relatively clean- so I don't have any databases or anything installed in OS X anymore. We have a number of Vagrant and Chef scripts that will take developers from zero to fully running development environment with a simple vagrant init command followed by a few steps for hooking up whatever must be hooked up in the IDE for remote debugging where necessary. It's been fantastic, but we're mostly JVM based.

I could definitely see how clang would screw things up. I don't have experience as a C/C++ developer in OS X for anything other than personal electronics projects.

My personal and professional experience with significant development time in Java, PHP, Python, and Node has been that only Linux could do it as well, but the trade offs for daily desktop use simply aren't worth it. Being able to pump my development environments into a VM of the same flavor as the target environment has given me the best of all worlds. But I've genuinely never run into anything that just refused to work on OSX. I will say that Python and Python env are sometimes a PITA, but not any constant issues.
> As was noted, it didn't exist before Mantle and before AMD decided to open it.

I see that claim, I don't see any evidence. The first evidence of Mantle being donated to Khronos date back to early 2015, not early 2014. Mantle was not open-source or open at initial release, and wasn't even supported on all AMD hardware.

> So Apple in fact knew about it all along. Again, you can't try to dismiss their lock-in attitude with the claim that they just needed something and had no alternatives.

Wait, so Apple's proprietary API is bad because AMD's proprietary existed before it? How does that even make sense?

> They simply made the lock-in choice.

Mantle was only available for AMD hardware on Windows, Apple's first need was ARM/PowerVR on iOS…

> The question is not about why one can't abstract them, but why Apple and MS push their lock-in instead of collaborating. And you wouldn't like the answer.

You do realise your pet conspiration theories are only answers to the question "what are your pet conspiration theories" no matter how many time you hint at them, right?

It's pretty typical for institutions to buy their own government's bonds.
You don't need the night cycle at all for the vegetation stage, just flowering, so run these suckers 24/7 and you get more crops, more often.
It's possible to use HiDPI on Linux, but I guess it depends on what software you use. I've used it for almost a year. I set my DPI in X and GTK. I believe GNOME understands DPI, but I just use ratpoison so I don't know. After turning off hunting, fonts look very nice.

Don't bother trying to connect an external monitor with a different DPI though, hehe. I've heard that problem is unsolvable with the X11 paradigm but will be fixed in Wayland (whatever that is).
Exactly. The mess glibc is is giving C a bad name. Look at the musl libc for how it should be done.
The Elements of User Experience
The research that I did on this for my grad school project with the GAO suggested that there was generally enough liquidity in the secondary bond market to absorb even a mass sale from China over the time period required to do so.
My main use case are technical-oriented websites.

So I need to support content like a manual, a faq, news, feature requests, essays, and yes, also a blog. I also want good navigation support, and an easy way to refer to other project pages. Furthermore, I want programmatorial flexibility, which because of my background means Python and Jinja2 templates.

I wrote this because I didn't find an existing solution that met those requirements. I am not claiming it is "better" in a general sense than anything else - I think it all depends on your requirements and background.
I recently got a Thinkpad T450s after using iBook & MacBooks for 10 years and I'm very pleasantly surprised about build quality and feel.
How does the new ColdFusion compare with open-source CFML engine such as Railo?
Replied above, but the secondary bond market is liquid enough to absorb this event over the time period required.
TIL how I should have said I learned what a TIL is :)
You read it wrong. It's cash in hand not public debt they have more of.
Can you elaborate? Discussions with details about things like this are always interesting.
Gaining Ten Extra Hours a Week
Release of ReactOS 0.4 brings open source Windows closer to reality
Like around seven years ago, I bought a tablet PC from HP. An Touchsmart TX2. 2h max if batery and usage if plastic, but durable. I don't have any problem with it except the disappointed 3d performance (I expected more from it), AMD stoping of update the graphics drivers, and very very rare freeze on boot (like one time every 3 months). Also, an OS update to Windows 8 was an really improve on performance (even using beta drivers from AMD)

How ever, I know friends with HP's that breaked very easy. One give small electric shocks. Other had an previous version of the same tablet PC that me, and it ended generating smoke (Old touchsmart TXs have a tendency to overheat)
>Yes, you have to make a 50% joint venture, bribe government officials, share technology, have no copyright/IP protection, and risk your partner entering the market as a competitor once they learn your business (see Asus). But, you can still make so much money that it's probably worth it (or so American corporations seem to believe).

All legitimate companies have strong rules against bribing officials, and it's illegal, so don't expect the company to have your back if you get caught.
As someone who owns and works on the exact same machine mentioned in the article (Galago Ultra Pro), I agree. It's build quality isn't that great and the non-computing hardware is sub-par (battery, fans, bezel, touchpad...).

I just wish there was a real alternative to the 13" Air.
I have both, and I find the things that Macs have that everything else is missing just aren't articulated on a spec sheet.

The display on the Macbook Pro Retina is just flawless. The colors, the anti-glare, and the picture quality from all angles, it's just really well done. The brushed aluminum chassis makes it very cool and lightweight, great to travel with and keep on your lap. Excellent battery life. It's just a great machine to live with overall.

Most of the PC options are steel and plastic, so they're hot and heavy. They'll burn your legs, they have comparably poor battery life. The screen looks terrible if your viewing angle isn't perpendicular. The hardware I've had has tended to die faster, too.

I do spend most of my time in Linux on this old Dell, though. The OS is more important to me and I prefer Linux. But Macbooks are great, and I wish I could find something as good to install Linux on.
Thanks for this. It'll do for my router until a new firmware is out. I tried the above but --connbyte takes a range as input not a single value. Like, "512:8192" or "512:" for "greater than 512". In practice "512:" is interpreted as "512:4294967295". So it ends up looking like,

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p udp --sport 53 -m connbytes --connbytes 512: --connbytes-dir reply --connbytes-mode bytes -j DROP

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 53 -m connbytes --connbytes 512: --connbytes-dir reply --connbytes-mode bytes -j DROP
I'm not up to date on leading edge hardware, but this seems impressive especially for that price. Is there some sort of catch? This would be great to root and mess around with.
My personal experience is similar because I know quite a few people in social sciences.

Conceptually, this is similar to rats pulling a lever or monkeys being reinforced to type the right characters. It also explains p-hacking and many other problems of interpretation.

Now one question I always have is - if you consider R just a tool - what is the difference between things I should fully understand (R?) and things I should only know how to use (e.g., my cell phone)?

How can I justify saying that people should understand R while I myself don't understand quite a few aspects of my cell phone?
Oh absolutely, but there is only one laptop that can run Linux with proper hardware support, 10+ hr battery life, high-quality screen, good build quality: the Chromebook Pixel, and that is limited to 64gb storage and a 12" screen.

There's such an extreme lack of decent laptops around that working around the limitations of OSX seems to be the only option for now.

Maybe the next version of the Pixel will be more suitable as a general purpose development machine or someone else will make a decent linux laptop (if Google can do it, why can't Dell?)
90% over how long?
I have the UX305LA. I had a clicky trackpad[1], so I opened it up and fixed it. It was too good in other aspects, so I couldn't bother sending it back. Battery is replaceable.

Still though, with Asus you never know whether your laptop will be perfect out of the box or not. That's what sucks about PCs in general - if you want a hassle-free laptop, you either have to pay extra or invest a lot of time into research. I had to send 2 laptops back before I got the Zenbook, but even that had the clicky trackpad problem.

This is why I'm thinking that when I have to buy a new laptop, I'll first be looking at the Apple lines. I've never had a Mac (since they're pricy), but I'm done with doing hours and hours of research. I just need a laptop that works.

The Zenbook is great though. Love it.

They would probably have to spend at least a good chunk their dollar reserves in order to manage a truly catastrophic currency decline.
Lyft and Uber both spent years pretending that their drivers were insured while carrying passengers despite very clear evidence to the contrary. Even today they pretend to prospective drivers that they won't end up screwed if they have an accident while 'on the app' but without a passenger. Airbnb did the same thing.
