If we are talking about web content then how exactly is it not comparable?
IMO it's a little more complex: there's the question of copying interfaces, and the question of reverse engineering the implementation behind them. Many man pages are written such that it's clear how you should implement the logic so that all flags, etc. are interpreted in a well-defined and consistent manner with the original. But it's a billion times easier to just check out the source code for some of the tools and rewrite. Much easier, but possibly a different legal situation.

NAME
echo — write arguments to the standard output

For this definition, -n should mean merely a sequence of two bytes to be written to stdout. Why not just use printf instead? It is way more flexible and powerfull, and "printf x" always prints "{'x', 0}";.
People can make money from Tweeting? Really? Like YouTube creators? I had no idea.
Apathy always crushes Democrats. It's why they lose off-year elections. It's why Republicans have a stranglehold over local governments (and the redistricting power that comes with it). They'll come out to vote for Hillary (or against Trump), but then everything will go back to the Republicans two years later because they can't be bothered to come out and vote.

So far it looks like the choice is between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. I like some of what Sanders stands for in the abstract but as a candidate I don't find him terribly compelling for multiple reasons. There's just nobody I can get fired up about. There's nobody I actively really want to be president. Can we just leave the office vacant?
> Yup, especially for the most respected research, mathematizing a field.

Well, that's debatable :) I can think of plenty of recent systems conferences where the best paper had nothing to do with mathematizing the field.
Nice to see something make good use of python 3 type annotations!

I didn't see things like authentication/CORS/... mentioned in the docs, so it probably is intended to deploy this behind some kind of API gateway taking care of things like that? Or did I just miss it?
Really awesome framework! Have been using it for my latest project and is especially great if you have done some Redux for the web.
I have programmed without an IDE. What I learned was that I'm much more productive with one then without.

An IDE lets me focus on the problem, not the language.
I appreciate your comment. Yeah, it's sincere and rambling, but at least it's an interesting slice of a stranger's life. HN can't or won't enjoy something like this.
Seems like that would be the incredibly difficult to train, incredibly invasive and by the time it detected the user probably wasn't you or you weren't nearby to considerable confidence you could have been compromised already.

I think that kind of approach would be better handled by implants or wearables like watches with super long battery life but Bluetooth tokens already so most of that with half the invasiveness.

I've been using this for a couple of projects and I really like it so far.

It's a nice take on unidirectional data flow as it applies to the Swift type system.

It brings a lot of clarity to the design. If I want to know the state involved in a view it's all explicitly stated in one place. If I want to know where state is manipulated, that's in the reducer.
Yeah. I'm a vim guy myself, but I totally understand the appeal of IDEs. Luckily Rust is a well-defined language (unlike C and C++), so building a nice IDE shouldn't be too arduous.
That's an interesting problem.

I have a few ideas
1) Replace tuition with taking x% of income for y years following graduation. I'm not sure how this would work in regards to low-income degrees / departments. For example, would the low return on investment for an arts department mean it would get less funding? I suppose this would cause universities to optimize their education for earning potential of graduates. Could have interesting effects. Not all beneficial.

2) Could they use their endowments to essentially provide interest free loans? I'm guessing their would be lots of problems with this that I can't see.

3) You pay nothing while in school, but you pay a straightforward fraction of the school's operating costs for the next x years. I like this concept. If you make x long enough, your graduates have an interest in ensuring future students are able to contribute to the cause. Of course, they also have an interest in keeping costs low. That could create poor dynamics. Improvements would have to come from donations, not be a part of the budget.
I wonder if he actively realizes that the persuaders on Social Media are inevitably for sale to the highest bidder (albiet with veto power over things they may actually care about)?

I was hugely influenced by reading Grove's writing. He had phenomenal impact as a technologist, even bigger as a technology leader, and yet more educating other technology leaders. Under his watch Intel was one of the few companies to avoid the innovator's dilemma, and he wrote about how others could avoid it too.

Personally I think celebrity endorsement style advertising is a good match for Twitter. They have all these celebrities with all these fans. On the way to work I think I heard the DJ hawk 2 or 3 different products. I think that's about the only model that doesn't feel forced. Find out what the people with 20million followers like and find out how much those companies are willing to pay for them to talk up the product. Give some endorsement kickback to the celebrity.
The culture of the Valley is really interesting, Stanford Professor Frederick Terman probably should get the most credit. He influenced companies from the very beginning.

Also Hewlett and Packard are often cited as the two that really set the tone and culture of valley, The HP Way management style was modeled by numerous companies.

Hewlett and Packard were influenced greatly by the Varian brothers whose company in the 40's were some of the first to have radical ideas of profit-sharing, stock-ownership, insurance, and retirement plans for employees.

Fairchild still had the Eastern company mindset of top down driven which with poor management led to the Traitorous Eight but the culture was already started in the Valley.

We've tried node.js as a managed VM a few times before this. One of the biggest pains is logging. Despite documentation implying that JSON logs are supported (can't find this anymore, maybe it was removed), we still haven't been able to get GCP to read JSON logs. You lose out on all of the nice filtering and request grouping provided by the GCP log viewer.

The issue is here[0] and it would seem they still haven't addressed it a year later.

What are you talking about? The Republicans control Congress, and Obama is a neocon-lite. And as for the upcoming election, Hillary is a full-up neocon and warmonger.
Non sequitur. He didn't say the position was correct; he said it was widely held. He is right. Your arguments, thus far, are incoherent.
In the 80s, we always referred to it as "reganomics" as in "oh no, not reganomics for dinner again!"

I seem to recall a massive cheese redistribution campaign back then. And ketchup being declared a vegetable for purposes of school lunches.
J.D. here. The SCOTUS becoming more conservative would have helped your limited-government view (and mine). Not more liberal. On balance the group most likely to find hard limitations on the power of the government to control people, capital, and companies are the originalists.

Sometimes it seems as though in Silicon Valley everyone assumes conservative = bad, liberal = good. The truth is always more complex.
I would love a Marauder's Map for bug bounty programs: Show me who is working on what, where they're finding bugs, and help me identify where I can most efficiently spend my time. Lots of 'feel bads' if I report a bug that's already been reported, and thus don't get a payout.

What made you wonder about it being a joke?
I'm not sure picking a program where the portion that does any actual work is 3-6 lines in length is a good reference for whether they are copying code/algorithms. There's so little of substance to actually do differently, the chance of them looking similar in that respect if fairly high.
>Even Samba uses CIFS.

That caused my brain to skip for a moment. Since the entire point of Samba was to make it possible for *nix systems to interoperate with Windows systems there is no choice here. It is very possible that the people who work on Samba don't actually think that CIFS is a good idea.
I've started making our own (just macaroni and melted cheese) with my kids. It tastes better, but the one thing we haven't been able to replicate is the bright orange color.
Good point. If the United States, for instance, used the money for the "War on Terror" on things that were more likely to save American lives (anti-smoking, healthcare, traffic safety, etc.), we probably could have saved hundreds of thousands of American lives (or more, the CDC says that 480,000 Americans die each year from smoking).
> A 5 pixel black bar at the top of a site is not used anywhere but here.

I recall black bars being used on various sites, although usually not for individuals. Similar to black mourning bands worn on clothing, or how sometimes newspapers will print black front pages. Black isn't a universal colour for death and mourning across cultures of course, but it is rather universal in western cultures at least.

At any rate, as I mentioned in another comment, I'm glad people ask when they don't know. And I'm not convinced having a link to an obituary wouldn't be a good thing, but apparently some people feel strongly against it.
Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau are fairly straightforward; it's really hard to screw up. I'd wager that taking the train to Lo Wu would have been easier for them, actually, because their contact could just meet them in the (relatively) small at-grade Luohu exit that everyone is forced to funnel through.

This one is Airbnb bad if you assume that 1 out of every 5 Airbnb rentals is being used to (take your pick) shoot porn; murder and cut up the bodies of people (to later be fed to pigs); arrange a reboot of the Bumfights video series; run a 24-hour needle swapping joint; etc

Exactly. The first one is a social interaction. The second is a business, and that's my whole point.
Nope.

Everything can be offensive to someone if they try hard enough. Just pick something that doesn't intend to be rude and ignore the few haters who have to make everything about them.
Not quite, radio, radar and microwaves were all prior to missile programs; but yes definitely military spending helped fund the Valley without a doubt. It's not a coincidence that Moffet Field is in the center of Silicon Valley.
I doubt there's a soccer mom in the world who didn't know this had happened already; my wife had been expecting it for months when it finally switched.

Other manufacturers are doing similar things. In fact, Trix Cereal has quietly switched away from artificial colors recently, and other General Mills "kids" cereals are expected to follow suit soon.
> is it really worth it?

The main advantage of packet-mac-and-cheese is convenience, compared to laboring over a stove to make a smooth roux.

I used to take a couple of packets with me when bicycle-camping but I can't say that I enjoyed them. They 'fill a hole' as we say here.
Ah. Well, right now, the standard library relies on a libc of some kind. If you use only core, then there's no reliance on a libc.

There has been some interest in making it easy to have stdlib without a libc; and some refactorings to std that may make it easier to do so, but those haven't come to fruition just yet.
I would, but the last time I installed atom and tried to start it the base text editor, without any added plugins, took 3 minutes to start and used ~600mb of system memory.

In comparison, Eclipse starts in under a minute and uses about half that on my system.

Atom when I tried it was much to large for my system. I might look at it again.
Mostly their competitors, and perhaps people who would prefer more upscale shopping.
"Solved" is pretty broad (as is "AI") but deep learning, specifically, performs well (SotA) on a number of benchmarks in speech, language and image recognition. Some challenges immediately come to mind:

1. The pace of published research is pretty fast right now. This makes it difficult to know where the research fits in when solving problems. It'll probably take a few years before we know where to use many of the approaches published last year.

2. Iteration performance (trying many new things quickly) is improving with high-level frameworks but still lots of work to do here. Since we don't know where a lot of research fits it's not always apparent which methods work best (and "best" changes every quarter).

3. We're still missing theoretical foundations for much of deep learning. This is useful, not just for research, but to know what can and cannot work with current approaches.

4. Model architectures are still based largely on trial-and-error, intuition and search.
Thank you for bringing this up.
Not quite the Indian rope trick
Maybe the likes of you someday will get a job and then understand that "what you support" does not depend on you.
Generally speaking we have a handle on problems where you have lots of labeled data of the classes you want to identify (lots generally being quantified roughly by calculating N/(e^D) where N is number of entries and D is is the intrinsic dimensionality of the data. The larger that number is the more complex of a model you can train.).

Some hard long term challenges revolve around cases where you don't have a lot of unlabeled data or examples of classes you care about. There's also the technical challenges of training large scale models without obscene computational resources.

I also prefer to reserve the term AI for generalized AI, which we're still a ways off of, as opposed to modern classification problems etc. that I would call machine learning (though I know that nomenclature is uncommon).

EDIT: jimfleming makes a great point about theory as well - we could likely be much more efficient with better theory for deep neural nets.
Sorry, I do not. But the option was twofold when I was there:

1. Engineers have a choice of open plan or a shared (2 person) office depending on preference.
2. Engineers who have special circumstances can request their own office.
That's what happens when a folder accesses the actual path when you've changed the CSIDL ID (relocating documents). If you've done it as an NTFS reparse point, there wouldn't be any such C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents, and trying to navigate there would put you in D:\.
Glad to see Craig Kilborn getting some work.
> The only VR guys that said that are Valve

No one argued with that because what they said is true. Apple are simply out of the VR picture. At least for now.

> How well are they selling those Steam machines?

Good enough I suppose, given that soon after Steam Machines were released, Sony and MS rushed to announce that they plan to update their hardware more frequently. Competition works. It doesn't mean it won't get even better.

> The games industry cares

You keep talking about it as if it's some single mind. It's not.

> What about that OpenGL and Vulkan support on the PS4, Wii and XBox?

You can forget about OpenGL. I expect Sony to add Vulkan supprot first, and then MS add it under pressure a few years later.

At worst we wouldn't do anything for 1,000 years because there's been little effect. In the meantime we've built up another 1,000 years we're going to have to deal with, which might be impossible at that point.

In comparison, if we instantly felt the effects we could obviously see we're causing specific problems, and react appropriately. With the lag it's a crapshoot and deniability can creep in.
If you are paying more than the equivalent of US$1 per box, no.

Kraft Mac & Cheese is the spiritual equivalent of top ramen noodles, artificial cheese flavor.

There is no intrinsic American cultural value to it. Many of us do grant it some nostalgia value, because we grew up without a lot of money, and it was, and still is, cheap and filling food for poor people. A suitable protein accompaniment is a can of chunk light tuna (solid albacore is for rich folks), hot dogs (aka frankfurters) cut into coin-sized slices, diced bologna slices, Spam, or a hard-boiled egg. To drink, mix up some unsweetened Kool-Aid with 3/4 the ordinary amount of added sugar. If you are feeling flush this month, you may also have a slice of dry white toast with some leftover schmaltz on it.
I stand corrected.

I think you could use it in that recipe; the sodium citrate will keep the cheese from separating and help it mix with the butter.
Not only that, but it looks to have some very good tooling. Cargo should simplify things a lot for whoever writes IDEs.

Not only do you have a package manager, but a build system.
Randall Munroe is not going back to high school, his drawings are being incorporated into high school text books.
I agree with your description of Bloomberg's beliefs and motivation for it, and I agree that many other organizations, especially start-ups, cargo cult on the back of this.

Since the belief that offices are bad in terms of cost or productivity (e.g. Bloomberg's belief that people work better in noisy, open spaces) is demonstrably and quantitatively incorrect, and inflicts undeniable mental and physical health problems, it's all the more important to vocally argue for private working conditions as a social issues.

This isn't about my specific preference. It's about what the data says, and has said for decades.

By comparison, if some company said that workers worked better in a room filled with second-hand smoke, we wouldn't care whether or not they believed this. It's simply a wrong and harmful belief that ought to be stopped. In other words, we should not allow Bloomberg's management to impose a demonstrably unhealthy working condition (violent lack of privacy) regardless of whatever incorrect fictions they happen to use to justify it.
I like Anaconda (and I recommend it as the easiest installation for data sci), but on OS X it is easy to install Python and relevant numerical packages with Homebrew and pip.
A bit cynical view, also Jobs died at the top of his popularity. Andy Grove was Time's Man of the Year in 1997, so his peak was almost 20 years ago.
Disappointing to see Hipp make that argument. It's trivially refuted.

Yes, all programming languages allow the programmer to write bugs. But languages very much vary in how many, and what kinds of bugs programmers write in practice. Saying "well, Rust doesn't eliminate all bugs" is attacking a straw man. If you want to argue that Rust isn't worth it, you need to convince me that C plus gcov results in fewer bugs in the important areas in practice than Rust (plus kcov [1] if you like) does. I think that's going to be pretty hard. (Especially if memory safety issues are the most important bug class you're concerned about: I think it's completely impossible for any C-based solution to compete with Rust here, regardless of how much tooling you add.)

Drawing an equivalence between undefined behavior and compiler bugs also doesn't make sense. Compiler bugs are way way less commonly encountered than undefined behavior in C. Also, they're qualitatively different: compiler bugs get fixed in new compiler versions, while UB is by design and doesn't get fixed.

> I'm sure lisp does it better

Lisp does nothing. It is a programming language.

I doubt that, given how horrible Bash as a language and as a shell is. There is no reason why there can't be more sane command systems and better shell languages.

Tell me that this piece of code has a 'low barrier of entry' or even a 'lower barrier of entry'.
It's just that a generation of experts has been self selected to find that usable.

> but I was never arguing that UNIX shells are better Lisp to begin with

I was not talking about Lisp. I was talking about software. One could write much better command shells in C than what Unix shells offers. I understand that certain people find Unix like shells attractive. From a general user interface perspective they are horrible.

Most endowments spend more than 2% per year. There's a 5% minimum spend for non-university endowments, and there has been pressure for universities to apply this too.
Systems work is often awful though, precisely due to the religious aversion we systems people carry to notions like "proof", "mathematics", and "correctness".
