Is the Bluetooth and wifi part of the SoC or at least get a decent bus? The pi's usb is known for suckage, and if the networking could be greatly improved (especially latency) that would be an amazing improvement.

The problem for Norway may well be that while there is a whole lot of diversity up top, the bureaucratic structure has ossified.

It has gotten to be a decade now, but when last a right wing government was replaced with a (on paper) left wing one, the former finance minister was asked if he had faith in his replacement. His response was that while he could not comment on her abilities as a finance minister, he had full faith in her staff. This because it was the very same staff he had been working with.

A few years into the new government, another minister resigned. And afterwards she made a statement that there was a unstated agreement between the finance ministry, the oil and energy ministry, and the office of the prime minister about how the nation was to be run (the implied agreement was that oil and gas extraction was to be given priority above all else). And as a minister you needed to be very stubborn and thick skinned to break with that.

Note that this agreement was not between the ministers, but between the bureaucrats that worked there no matter who was nominally in charge.
64 bit A53 and built in wireless. Fantastic. Can't wait to see how these turn out and what Hardkernel's answer will be.
Don't even need anything that drastic. Just switch the compiler to C++ mode and start using std::unique_ptr instead of malloc/free. Remember to turn off exceptions and RTTI to keep the spirit of C alive in your C++ code!

It's not really the traditional Monte Carlo search; IIRC they're using UCT weighting for MCTS. Apologies if that's what you meant, but I think to most people "traditional Monte Carlo" means something different (probably uniform depth charges).
Let's hope the new SoC BCM2837 has seen some love there. It looks like more than just a tiny bump, so they probably took time to make things sane.
Maybe a little HN attention will prompt them to take a look at this issue.

ps: wanted to say the rpi team seems very smart in the regularity and smoothness of their product delivery. A nice amount of changes, same price point, reusable form factor, cute surprise annoucements (pizero). Kudos for that.
> If taxes are too high here, I can move. That sets a mechanism for keeping equilibrium in prices.

Couldn't you say the same thing about rent, under the current system? If rents are too high, people can move to Des Moines or wherever; that fact hasn't made many people feel ok about how high the rents are (because of course not all places you could live are equally desirable).

> Think that depends a lot on the particular society. My home country Norway certainly "suffers" from the professional politicians, but they still have quite varied backgrounds: teachers, agriculture degrees, economists, political science, machine operator etc.

But after a year or more in office, they all seem to walk and talk the same way anyways.

And i can't shake the feeling that the diversity is slipping.

One of the old boys of AP, and perhaps one of the last with a industrial background to hold a government position, said that when he began he could work a full day at the factory and then go to meetings in the afternoon. But that nowadays you basically had to quit your other job to keep up, even on the local level.

Overcommit is not actually relevant. An overcommit OOM-kill is a manifestation of the administrator killing the process for being a memory hog (it's just that the administrator has delegated this decision to some less-than-scrutable kernel code).

Library code should in general punt out-of-memory conditions back to the caller.

Okay, I've got a question for people who work at (or run) a CDN.

How the hell do you handle clients who have a 10GBit pipe to the internet?

Most data centers only have 40 or 100GBit pipes to the internet, albeit with multiple providers. Having toured some data centers which have CDN clients before, it just looks to me like a bunch of white box servers with a ton of spinning disks serving up content to cache servers, which then serve to users.

So, how do you handle requests from clients who have a really fat pipe?

Just give them the data as quickly as possible and move on to the next request? At 10GBit/s that won't take long. Unless it's a massive file, you can probably put the whole file on the "wire" within the typical RTT.

Or do you throttle the transfer per client to avoid everyone else waiting 0.005s for the 10GBit user's YouTube video to finish downloading?
Lovely writeup!
I don't think you read it very carefully. Some of the operators he's supporting are not OVERs. These "filter effects" and blends are non-associative and that's where the tricky stuff comes in.
You're right, and I'd call that a correction not extension.

Bens Blog says: "When things go wrong in your company, your employees don't care... Nobody cares." Sounds like a false statement. Employees are not customers, they have a stake and interest in healthy operation of the business. If they don't, then the company culture must be crap.

Looking closely at reasons for failure is about learning lessons and avoiding similar trouble in future. At the last two companies I worked for, there was a constant drive and focus on "moving forward" - literally that phrase would pop up in emails and meetings, and too frequently the same mistakes would be repeated.

Yes, which is why you want a straight history so that it is obvious that no shenanigans had to happen in the merge commit.
The part that makes this kind of crap so infuriating is that there's usually a large group of people that, despite what the author casually claims, do care: the people on the payroll. The people about to lose their jobs.

But of course, in the Horowitz's world only investors and entrepreneurs matter, not the little people. They're not part of the game. They are literally nobody.

The only thing i disagree with in this article is the whole "Everyone participated, everyone gets a prize" thing. Don't get me wrong, I understand these youngsters poured their heart and soul into these projects, but not everyone can win, and people should know this. It creates the young, entitled generation we have now. We dont need more of that running around.
> The Pine64 will be shipping out to backers shortly, but it’s already dead on arrival. I’m a backer of the Pine64 Kickstarter campaign, and I should have some commitment bias towards this cheap 64-bit computer. Even I must concede the Raspberry Pi 3 is the superior board.

How is that, since Pine64 will have same CPU, plus 2GB of RAM, and Gbit ethernet.
Someone who got it and starts the README right away with advantages over Cygwin.

Do you ship to the US for cheap enough that it makes sense to pay for international shipping instead of just a more expensive device? Do any of the sellers that actually have current Pi devices in stock? The answer appears to be no.

Interesting. IdenTrust, who cross-signs Let's Encrypt, has been in the root CA lists for a long time. (Mozilla merged this particular root certificate, DST Root X3, in 2008, as a replacement for existing expiring IdenTrust roots.)
About two years ago, I had a chance to ask Eben Upton if there would be a new platform like Arduino and Raspberry PI, what characteristics the new platform should have? And he said:

> There's scope for something very powerful (almost PC-like) in the $70 price range. If I was starting a new venture today, this is where I'd aim.

There is very powerful project like Bunnie Huang's Novena [1], but just the board will cost $550.

The only problem I have with Windows RT or Windows IOT is that there won't be any driver for any USB devices (in particular any probe). I am not sure what most people use RaspberryPis for but I found them useful as temperature loggers. And I don't feel brave enough to write my own driver...
Well, the motivations to attend hackathons don't seem to be about winning. Many of us students attend hackathons knowing that the chances of winning something is marginal at best, yet we still regularly attend for the singular reason of fun. It's not every day that you can just spend two days of your life, cut off from the rest of the world, working with your buddies on something you all love. Even for professionals, attending hackathons could be a means to break away from the monotony of normal work.
Best: Dr. Anita Sengupta from NASA JPL, keynote speaker at GOTO Chicago, speaking inspirationally about her work on Mars entry systems, and also about women in engineering. If I didn't have a family, I'd be very tempted to learn whatever I had to learn (and take the paycut I'd have to take) to work at NASA and be a part of something big.

The U.S. has been a cashless society for generations. Few people even know what cash is. They think federal reserve notes are cash. They are not.
Alaska has cash in circulation and you can spend it at any business, though the scales are out of sight until you break out the cash. They can make change in cash or federal reserve notes.
Federal reserve notes are the middle ground between digital currency and cash. I've never seen anyone spend cash in the lower 48.
I'm sure that Somali currency is not cash either.

Couldn't agree more with so many of the views expressed in this. I felt the same way after participating in the LinkedIn DevelopHer Hackathon last August. I came home and was so physically ill from sleep deprivation, eating nothing but oreos, drinking soda for the caffeine, etc.. that I was out for another 2 days. I don't know if I've ever felt as sick as I did after that hackathon, and it was all elective abuse to my body.
I'm saying that if you want people to agree with your philosophy, whatever it is, you have to make it relevant to them. Frik seemed to think that Somalians should give up day-to-day security, including financial and physical safety, in order to protect themselves from hypothetical monitoring by a government that currently can't even provide basic law enforcement. In the environment Frik lives in, government monitoring is a reality and frequent robbery is not, and he naively assumes that his priorities can be applied everywhere unchanged.
Great move, given that some many rapsberry pi starter kits got wifi adapter on usb.
I don't see where they have lied about the fact their product isn't available in infinite quantity. And the linked article acknowledges the frustrations you raised. Therefore it's fair to objectively characterise your contribution as simultaneously unreasonable and redundant.

What also has changed: no I2S connector for audio chips any more, and I had hoped for a proper 3-lane I2S to be able to do 5.1 HQ audio without relying on either the crappy USB bus itself or cheap quality USB interfaces.

Not to mention that I2S sound is far less workload on the CPU than USB sound.

Oh, and why doesn't the Wifi/BT antenna have an SMA connector for external antennas, e.g. directional antennas?!

I wonder how far the clock speed needs to increase further to be usable for x86-64 emulation?

Sure you can recompile, but docker/sandstorm.io/etc type binary packages would be nice to run as-is.

Any reason to use Windows on this over a Linux distro?
I totally agree with you with respect to the size of the team, but I do think that the computational power is a very important factor. This is the cost factor, both for investment in hardware, power bill and maintenance of the "cluster". If you have a very large cluster, you do not have one program who won, but one program plus a team ensuring that the cluster is running and healthy against a single go player.
Nice, but I'm going to wait until the amount of RAM catches up. That would be next logical step now.
Is the audio any good? Would it compete on the level of an airport express?
Late reply, but yes, I think you could totally do so. You already have a lot of material off which to build.
Please don't use four spaces to quote material. Or if you do use four spaces please remember to add line breaks.

Ask HN: Leap year bugs?
Hi,

With the leap day about to start on the West Coast I'm trying to find a place to keep track of and see all the bugs and system failures that occur.

For one, I think it will be really interesting but after it's over I want to try and categorize the different types of errors and come up with a guide to avoid them in the future.

Thanks!
Interestingly the developers of this platform have chosen to adopt the "write once, run everywhere" mantra. It appears they've also chosen to provide a unified visual framework, which means no native feel.

Can someone from the LambdaNative team tell me why it would be advantageous to take this route instead of using something like Cordova/React Native/Titanium/Xamarin?

Are there any apps in the app store that are currently built using this technology?
Between IoT and the deployment of IPv6 (meaning no more automatic NAT firewalling), I feel like we need to take a fresh look at how home routers are designed.

I'd love to see products that provide a user-friendly way to help me audit what my network is doing, and create firewall rules for different classes of devices. For example, if you're running a DVR server, the camera mentioned in this article probably shouldn't have been granted Internet access.

While some routers have basic firewall support, it's really rudimentary and nowhere near sufficient when you have several dozen (or more) relatively unknown devices on your network. And definitely not user-friendly enough for most home users.
Meta-comment: Really wish the author picked a more descriptive title. It's a good article, but with a vague title like that few people will read past it. Someone submitted it yesterday and it only got 5 votes, which is a shame. It's situations like this where I think HN should relax the rule on using the original title.
Pfft. Straight from the documentation of the method:

content
Type: >>htmlString<< or Element or Array or jQuery

You could argue that the API is bad for allowing HTML strings as arguments, but it's not really surprising that a function does what it is documented to do. Especially since these are DOM manipulation, not string manipulation functions.

I never understand the extent to which people get upset about these programs.

Taking the absolute worst-case scenario: You spend only $1.75 every weekday morning on a plain coffee. This website says you now get a free drink every 36 visits instead of every 12 visits. Assuming you have 240 visits (48 weeks/year), that comes to $408/year instead of $385/year, or a difference of $23. That's only about 5% more. Over time, you'd save much, much more just making your own coffee or even buying a machine for the office.

If you're buying a $3.65 latte everyday (apparently these are much cheaper nationally than in Manhattan), this rewards program change takes it from $832/year to $813/year, or about a 2% change.
So disable linking.

The clickthrough rate on internet ads is execrable. Frequently in the fractions of a percent at best.

No other advertising space operates on the assumption that linking represents.

Eliminating linking and leaving pure visual ads would be in line with every other form of advertising in existence, and eliminate the "problem" of click fraud, link-bait, and actually fraudulent links.

Do we really need a business model that exists largely to enable ad networks to defraud each other and consumers? We have advertising standards bodies that are meant to prevent this kind of thing in every other form of advertising, but somehow the internet is "special"?
