Love how you're giving "hint" on how capture goods in service; either you have: (1) done this, which brings into question why in the world you publicly mention this; (2) done or read about it, which if so, why not provide your sources; (3) done logistics related security, which should be stated; (4) a theorists. What exactly is your experience in the real world on the topic?
It's great to see how RISC-V has stimulated a lot of activity in open source CPU design. There are a few implementations now:

* Rocket https://github.com/ucb-bar/rocket-chip

* lowRISC ASIC http://www.lowrisc.org/

* PicoRV32 https://github.com/cliffordwolf/picorv32

* BOOM (derived from Rocket) https://github.com/ucb-bar/riscv-boom

* SODOR https://github.com/ucb-bar/riscv-sodor

* VSCALE https://github.com/ucb-bar/vscale

Anyone know of any more?

I agree. I also agree with your comment if you replace "life" with "money."

"Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy" is flat wrong. Due to attention limits, brands, and the hierarchical nature of DNS, hyperlinks actually accrete value up the hierarchy and promote winner take all markets.

Do people follow hyperlinks to find things? No, they "Google it." Everyone puts free data on the Internet and Google monetizes it by providing a single entry point.
All depends on who you define as a pirate, hacker, etc. if you consider social engineering hacking and stealing goods in transit, then using the two together is as good as written history.
It is interesting to see the evolution of cluster scheduling at Google. Mostly, it has been driven by the desire to improve resource utilization - with a second thought given to usability.
Their first go with Borg was centralized, correct, and enabled global state to make good scheduling decisions. Then they tried Omega, which never made it to production. But they subsequently separated scheduling from resource tracking in Borg (one scheduler node, ~5 paxos nodes handling resource notifications/communicating scheduling decisions with workers). Again, all optimizing utilization.
Kubernetes, however, is about making it easier for developers. So, one IP per pod - unlike Borg, where containers share the host IP. I like Kubernetes, but adoption has been slow. It will be interesting to see how it develops - whether it will subsume Mesos. How it will stack up against Hadoop/YARN.

Haha not to be confused with the later LiveScript made in 2011. And the JavaScript Wikipedia page also mentions two different languages named C-- (and I heard a bad joke today "what was this programmed in? C--?" that apparently was ignorant of either).
Did you even read the article? In-Q-Tel and their investment isn't even mentioned. He cites dozens of other reasons.

But since you brought it up, why do you think the CIA would invest in a tech company?
The traffic is encrypted. But you could certainly watch the network traffic and see that there's no traffic if the Echo doesn't wake and the lights don't turn on. (Of course, you'd have to trust that it isn't time delayed for hours in some sort of intentionally-sneaky way.)

It would also be possible to take a look at the hardware design and determine the linkage between the "mic mute" button light being on and power going to the mics.

The customer can set the device to provide both audio and visual indication when it "wakes up" and begins streaming to the cloud. And, of course, the customer can also press the mic mute button to avoid accidental wake up.

Yes, the FBI could try the same approach with Amazon as they are trying with Apple. For all of our sake, let's hope that Apple wins.

Correct, if you structure the problem as the proportion completed at time t relative to the proportion at time t-1, then you can sum in the limit as t goes to infinity to show surprisingly that he gets to the end under both scenarios.
It could be, if "part-time job" simply meant an ordinary job which one works for fewer than ~2000 hours per year; but "part-time" also means "no benefits", "no stability", and "no respect", and in any case there are no part-time jobs to be had as a software developer. If there were, I don't imagine they'd be much good for making a living.

What I want is more about flexibility than about a smaller number of hours. I'm happy to work 50+ hours in a week when it's called for; I just wish I could take a month off to go travel, when that's what I want to do, or take Thursdays and Fridays off for two months because there's some project I want to work on, or take a week full of half days because we just shipped a release and I feel like goofing off a bit. I mean, sure, I could probably just do the last one, unofficially, but I'd like it if this were all above board and OK, instead of just something you try to get away with and hope nobody complains. And there's just no solving the problem of wanting to travel: only once in my career have I gotten a month off, after almost seven years at a single company, a tenure I will probably never repeat. Why is PTO always non-negotiable? I don't get it.
I've found the lack of a game oriented iMac strange especially because Apple is largely a media and entertainment company.
Well, isn't that just burying the lede? I applaud the application of technology, but sometimes I think the neophyte approach, combined with the amplification of the web, can be more detrimental than helpful as intended.

Sorry to be uncharitable, but here is how you could've written a more honest introduction:

I heard a friend with dyslexia say that letters just jump around for her. Without asking for details, this reminded me that I had a hammer called JavaScript, and this looked like a nail to pound. So I wrote some quick code with made-up parameters and copied info from Wikipedia for cachet. I didn't bother to get any further feedback from dyslexics about this, so it is purely my folk-interpretation of a condition I don't really know about. I then uploaded it to HN to get some feedback, but I still didn't bother explaining what I did or why.
When did Apple say they don't think the people of China should have privacy?

The difference is, Apple can't do anything about the Communist dictatorship in China. They don't ask nicely, they don't debate you on liberty or policy, they tell you how things are. Apple can try to resist what the FBI is asking for in the US. They could similarly try to resist such moves in most of Europe. That's the benefit of democracy / representative government in the US / Europe / elsewhere vs what China has. If the Chinese people dislike it so much, they are the ones that will have to do something about it, nobody else can do it for them.
As someone who has used both a DAW and musical notation software in the past, it must be mentioned that they are two completely different paradigms. This product is designed for writing musical notation. A DAW is designed for manipulating the arrangement of samples in a multitrack timeline.
>Again, that would require perfect reflection for that 85% of spectrum and perfect transparency and/or a perfect radiator for the other 15%.

What? No! You use a semi-good reflector that reflects 85%. You use any marginally-okay radiator and it will get rid of the other 15% No need for perfect materials at all.

>and the x% is capable of feeding all of the photosynthetic organisms on Earth it would be totally fine.

What? The point is to blot out 2% of the sun. You don't need the remnant light from that area of the sky to feed anything. Plants will just have to get by on having 98% as much light.

>Any imperfections will absorb heat and steadily destroy the shielding material in runaway overheating.

What? Any imperfections will make that part heat up slightly more, which makes that part radiate more, and then it reaches equilibrium. It's a sheet of plastic/metal. It's not going to be within a hair-thin safety margin of self-destruction.
Your perspective is quite similar to mine. The hubris of our current society is baffling sometimes.
I would salary is a huge motivator for any engineer looking to support their lifestyle, then job responsibilities and ongoing career growth are the most important, followed team dynamic IMHO. The only difference maybe with the bootcampers is maybe not being as concerned with ongoing career growth or keeping up with new trends in tech to keep their skills updated.
Well the money that is paid to Israel is due to the Camp David accords both Israel and Egypt get the same military aid package.

The US from time to time allocates additional funds to Israel to fund various R&D programs in most cases they either end up buying into the same equipment and when they aren't they get the technology.

If you take out the military aid to Israel and Egypt the US will still continue to fund research out of pure self interests.

The director of the MDA once called Israel the US's most cost effective and efficient defense contractor he also said:

"The design of Arrow 3 promises to be an extremely capable system, more advanced than what we have ever attempted in the U.S. with our programs"[0]

The development of the Arrow 3 started in June 2009 at a total buy-in cost of about 300M, David's Sling was developed in under 5 years for the cost of 250M $, the costs of the SM-3 program so far are estimated at about 15 bln. $ it's land based version Aegis Ashore has already cost over 2 bln. without being fully operational.

If you look at it from a pure financial POV if you want to actually save money just delegate all of the US R&D at least as far as Missile Defense goes to Israel, they'll deliver on time and on a budget that most US defense contractors would claim is too small to develop a new shoe lace.

No, I'm saying the details aren't correct. I never implied fabricated, so unsure why you're suggesting this.

From reading the report it seems they confused container numbers with crate bar codes.

This bit:
"They’d board a vessel, locate by bar code specific sought-after crates containing valuables, steal the contents of that crate—and that crate only—and then depart the vessel without further incident."

When you board a vessel with container numbers, you don't see crates. However, you can find the container then search through the container and determine the crate. But the crate bar code? That's incorrect. A bill of lading will show the crate contents as well as its container number. It does NOT contain a bar code.

The PDF is obviously a marketing piece; it is not surprising some details are incorrect.

If you ignore the bar code part, then yeah, if the target was a shipping company then you could determine the contents of containers within reach and what is in them. Still need to go through the container though.

tl;dr: A bunch of people had teeth that hurt. There are a lot of theories about why, none of which fit the facts. It remains a mystery, but the most likely explanation is people were exaggerating the pain and the event where the pain ceased.
This is a pretty good analysis of the 'code = speech' argument: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/600916/apples-code-speech....

It's analysis I hadn't really considered before and you might find it interesting. That said, I agree it's a bad idea that Apple be asked to write legislation where they're compelled to comply for other reasons.

Excerpt:

"But on the other hand, and critically, there are many things that humans will do with code that will have nothing to do with the First Amendment (e.g., launching denial of service attacks and writing computer viruses). Code = Speech is a fallacy because it would needlessly treat writing the code for a malicious virus as equivalent to writing an editorial in the New York Times. Similarly, if companies use algorithms to discriminate on the basis of race or sex, wrapping those algorithms with the same constitutional protection we give to political novels would needlessly complicate civil rights law in the digital age.

It’s easy to argue that Code = Speech, but accepting that argument would create a mess, and an avoidable one at that. It’s harder to look at what the government is trying to do, and harder to figure out whether this is in conflict with the values the First Amendment protects, but that’s the way the law works. The hard way is also far more preferable to giving tech companies whose businesses run on code a free pass from the kinds of meaningful regulation we’ve imposed upon other companies since the New Deal."
Oh I agree with you entirely. Not running code and no unit testing were critiques I had with it. I used it as an example of engineering software. Cleanroom certainly isnt the last word in that.

Personally, as it's function-oriented, I'd combine it with a subset of Haskell that was easy to translate into imperative code. Build the app with Haskell, use QuickCheck/QuickSpec, test every execution path, covert channels via Flow Caml-like setup, and certified compilation to target with pre-verified runtime. Now, we can use that directly or use it as an executable spec for an imperative implementation.

So, that's how I see applying Cleanroom today for most benefit. Maybe drop the statistical stuff, too.
I found it readable, but I am glad I didn't have to learn reading like that. Maybe then I would never have reached a level that allows me to read that.
Great, because my occasional nightmares about losing my teeth weren't scary enough, now I learn they might explode...
I second PopClip as a fantastic product, incredibly useful. Their DropShelf[0] tool is also useful, but not nearly as much as PopClip. But definitely worth the money.

> You are implying that childcare and other non-work flex time activity isn't work.

I doubt anyone is implying that. Clearly "productivity" in this context specifically referring to the firm that is employing the individual.
I suspect that the issue you're experiencing is due to your delivery.

You're coming across as condescending and abrasive.

Sometimes I make comments that are unpopular and sometimes I'm down voted for them but not usually. Presentation is as important as content.
Quite a snarky response:

>> Why the Spotify company does not hire a full-time Linux developer for tackle these issues?

> The reasoning is probably based on the number of actual and potential linux users. But who knows, maybe 2016 will be the year of the linux desktop.

I don't get (but well I'm a Linux user) it looks like it's not that much effort to polish it up to some degree - there are a lot of possible users out there e.g. at universities or at the workplace.
I believe the playground is just a well-sandboxed Rust compiler. It doesn't have any of the fancy features of a REPL, such as allowing you to refer to the state of prior runs.
Changing the date in the system (and disabling network time) worked well. A quick search led me to this solution, avoiding the whole re-download to please the sentient dictatorial master.
Yes, that is exactly how it works.

If you, as a customer, want to, you can go to Amazon.com and delete all your voice history (or any single interaction).
Dude, we all work here.
I don't know if that's true, but even if it is, how does that make the discrimination any less of a problem?
I never got around to learning to use MacsBug.

I just stopped running applications that caused too many crashes.

I miss those days dearly. I LOVED being a Mac user during the 1990s.
Sure, that much is obvious, I just felt like "cultural/religious phenomena" was the best descriptor instead of saying something like "Them A-rabs are just super lazy".
> Code = Speech is a fallacy because it would needlessly treat writing the code for a malicious virus as equivalent to writing an editorial in the New York Times.

I don't see that that is the case. Not all speech is treated "equivalent to writing an editorial in the New York Times", to start with; not all speech is treated equally, and harmful speech, particularly deliberately harmful speech, and particularly deliberately harmful speech that isn't communicating ideas about a matter of public concern, is not universally protected.
How do we know? (I say this as a person who shops there as well). Just because they say so, or they use wholesome packaging or labels? I certainly hope their stuff is healthier, but I am not convinced objectively that it is.
I think we are in agreement, but let me verify.

The scenario I outlined does not require possession of the written offer to get source code. Possession of the knowledge in it, yes. But not possession of the offer. In particular it is reasonable to require you to know that you have to provide a VIN number to get the software. It is also reasonable for you to know what number to call, or address to send, or fee to pay, or even what to say to get to someone knowledgeable enough to have a chance of answering your questions.

In fact this email thread said that there is a website where you can enter the VIN and get the source code. I doubt it validates that you are who you say you are. If that website is world readable, I'd say that the GPL is satisfied.

(The email thread also made it clear that the people who responded from BMW Australia didn't themselves understand the license. But that is no surprise for an odd request of random people in a big company.)
One of the things this person misses is a lot of these are undefined with the explicit goal to let compiler authors take advantage of them.

So his real argument is with the C committee for not defining these things the way he wants them. His claim that the behavior of what should happen is obvious is pretty strange (IE "it should do exactly whatever the compiler is trying to prove it doesn't")

It's essentially a complaint that compiler authors should follow a mystical spirit of C that he seems to have in his head.

(Plus, you know, he's kind of a dick about it all)

I read things like "We had plans to turn this optimization into a production feature, but eventually
realized that the GCC maintainers only care about certain benchmarks
and treat production programmers as adversaries that deserve getting their code
broken.
...
The current GCC and Clang maintainers suggest that we should convert
programs to “C”. How would that turn out for Gforth?"

I was intrigued, so i went looking for the mailing list discussion where the gcc or clang people suggested this or where any of this happened.

I can't find it.
On either set of mailing lists.
I searched for gforth, i searched for anton, etc
Nothing.
"Women tend to find themselves funneled into specific career paths"

Why the passive - couldn't they actively be choosing specific career paths?

"This is in large part because care for family members(children and elderly parents usually) is more often foisted upon women in our society than on men."

Again, why the "foisted"? Especially for children it doesn't make sense: if it is such an unpleasant task, why not simply choose not to have children? Care for parents might end up in women's hands because they already made the choices for more flexible time (and less income) earlier on.

Instead of "foisted", it seems possible that women simply more often get the option to choose (because they were the ones who were pregnant), and men don't.
The demo is enlightening, but the text is not telling to more important thing about dyslexia: The main problem is not the difficult to read (that is an issue of course) but the social implications for the people with this, when parents, teachers and pairs believes the kid can't read because is dumb or lazy. Self esteem goes to the floor and also impact in performance even in thing not related with reading.
So awareness that this is a real issue (and not that is lazy) and that the kid has to make a lot of effort to catch up is very important to help them have a better future.
> trust fund expensive but works: intellij.

I think calling IntelliJ "trust fund" expensive is rather extreme. My company pays substantially more for my Visual Studio license than I do for my personal JetBrains All-Products subscription, $150/yr (which breaks down to $12.50/mo) saves me far more than 5 hours of time between all the work I do in IntelliJ, DataGrip, PyCharm, WebStorm and soon Rider (7 seconds to open a solution that takes Visual Studio 30 seconds to load and without the constant lockups - now I just need it to be able to run/debug ASP.net apps and run NUnit tests).
I always preferred the Hughtrain manifesto:

http://gapingvoid.com/blog/2004/06/27/the-hughtrain/
I use DTrace fairly often to look at the boundaries between whatever interpreted language my app's written in and the kernel.

For example, at $job recently found that some of our Python code was doing 25k open64 calls but only 5k close calls during a scheduled job - this led us to find/fix a bug that would have been a disaster later.
Or it wasn't, e.g.:

http://neuroneurotic.net/2016/03/03/the-non-replicability-of...

From where I’m standing, social and other forms of traditional psychology can’t say the same. Small contextual or methodological differences can quite likely skew the results because the mind is a damn complex thing. For that reason alone, we should expect psychology to have low replicability and the effect sizes should be pretty small (i.e. smaller than what is common in the literature) because they will always be diluted by a multitude of independent factors. Perhaps more than any other field, psychology can benefit from preregistering experimental protocols to delineate the exploratory garden-path from hypothesis-driven confirmatory results.

I agree that a direct replication of a contextually dependent effect in a different country and at a different time makes little sense but that is no excuse. If you just say that the effects are so context-specific it is difficult to replicate them, you are bound to end up chasing lots of phantoms. And that isn’t science – not even a “soft” one.
"a compiler's behavior should give considerable weight to how the language is used more than taking a literal view of what the words mean in the spec."

This is generally true, but the problem in this case is the committee history of a lot of what is being complained about shows it was added specifically to let compilers reason the way they do.

The committee didn't sit down and say "hey, this should be undefined, because it sucked". Instead, what happened is committee members and compiler writers sat down and said the compiler guys said "if you make this undefined, we can optimize this thing over here better", and the committee said "great, sounds awesome".

Complaining that the compiler writers then go and do that is misguided :)

(This covers most of the specific examples given, BTW. There are other examples where he dismissively claims that what should happen is obvious.)

The whole thing is like complaining that people follow the law, instead of the spirit of the law.
I love this terrible idea. I can totally imagine some terrified product manager turning up the mutation rate to try to find some good set of features while people leave because they don't want a mutating product.
Yes. Before implementing this module we contacted nginx developers and they didn't think it is a problem. This is why we had to create our own module.
