It's not that obvious. Paul Klemperer (auction theorist) covers a similar question: what happens if the losing party has to pay the prevailing party's legal fees? Answer: the same amount will be spent on legal fees and the same cases will be brought forward.

This is what happens when your devs get the machines they want and not the machines their customers have.
In 8th grade, I was in the band, and at the end of the year, for the last 3 weeks of school, the 8th graders would go practice with 9-11th graders of the high school band to perform at graduation. In the high school band room, there were a bunch of home-made motivational posters on the walls, and you know what? They did work then and they probably helped inculcate some enthusiasm into me. Of course, that wasn't an organization trying to make money off of me, and I was 13.
Key words: 32 bit. 64-bit stuff should go in `C:\program files\`

Pretty sure the user reqs for the Rift require a 64-bit CPU.
Although, to be real, if you're running an Oculus, you have something similar to the machine the devs want.

That said, SSD boot drive isn't super uncommon.
well, it doesn't have to be a scam, but when chinese people do it, it just makes it so much more obvious than when white people do it.

I wish there were actual examples doing some I/O or http server where error handling comes into picture (which IMO the primary thing that messes up the Go code syntactically by repeating the "if err != nil {" block).
Not really, plus the first rule of law is to never ask a question you do not know the answer too.

We're really a Federal Republic, a collection of states where the citizens vote on their Representatives, who are then supposed to legislate under the guidelines of a Constitution which delegates power to various branches.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_republic

The citizens of Oregon do get to vote on Initiatives and Referendums, that is something which is relatively new to the state 1908, and not the way states outside of the Western part of the country operate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy_in_Oregon
^^ This page has a nice map showing other states as well.

In many of the blue states on the map constitutional amendments for the state can be proposed and voted on but the majority of laws are simply written by the legislature.

If you have the specs for a Oculus Rift, and your C:\ drive ISN'T an SSD, you did something wrong when you specced out your PC.

All of my games go on a secondary drive. Of course, I also didn't spend $600 on a early version VR headset, so I guess I've got time to wait for the update. :)
Palmer said that fixing it was nontrivial. I wonder if that's "nontrivial because all software needs to be tested carefully even though it's just adding a configurable path" or "nontrivial for reason that are deep into OS fundamentals"?
Thanks, didn't know that.

Can you move games after installation?
I don't know whether that's possible. They calculated the piracy rate by looking at sales versus overall activations. That means they can't tell whether a particular copy is pirated or not, so they can't break out app usage stats into pirate/non-pirate demographics.

Possibly they could approximate this by pushing a version update through the app stores, which most pirates presumably wouldn't receive, and then comparing stats for different version numbers.
What agreement? Apple doesn't nor should they care what the government does with the phone. If the government drops their suit, Apple has prevailed in their argument.
Thanks for the info @boulos. I've been watching GCP division quietly building solid products and ecosystems while the limelight shine towards AWS and Azure to some extend.

I'm also very excited to see GCP people responding to any GCP questions and/or clarifying its past "reputation" with a calm manner ;). Clearly the tide has changed (probably comes from the top too? :)).

Me and my partner are planning to invest a significant amount of time to the GCP ecosystems!

Bank robbers are not rational[1]. The risk/reward profile of bank robberies is far worse than many other crimes, like selling weed.

Even for a rational person, robbing millionaires isn't easy because few millionaires have something light, portable, and generic to steal (i.e. cash) lying around the house. Jewelry may be hard to find, kept in a safe, and/or easily identifiable, which reduces its value and makes it less liquid. Cash is the most liquid and generic store of value, and it's also very portable.

Further, I'd suggest that robbing liquor stores is probably a much more common crime because they also often have lots of cash in the register and aren't as well-guarded as banks.

the problem is that when the economy falters or the government fights with itself (look at what's happening in IL) these universities would very much prefer to be self-sufficient. It isn't the only reason of course, but with the anti-intellectualism movement in america growing and the government playing more and more budget games that affect people's livelihoods I don't really blame them.
What happens when Apple finds a way to secure this new attack vector. Is Apple now actively working against the feds? That is certainly how it will be seen by the US Gov.
It depends if you trust those chips or not to start with. Not having the weakness, as in trustworthy I/O, is always superior to a tactic attempting to stop the weakness. The other issue is whether mere restrictions on memory accesses will help. In software, microkernels isolating where or who you could talk to were only a start: attacks could happen via a series of compromises. Failures too in the Byzantine failure model. Plus, with monolithic OS's, you can get full control of the system with kernel-mode attacks that further facilitate DMA attacks where the main system looks unmodified in most operation while malware is in peripheral firmware.

Many issues due to how things connect and store information as burfog said. There's not just one thing. Even my microkernel recommendation is only for the start of the software part of a secure system. Actually, trustworthy CPU, ROM, bootloader and drivers are the start if we're being technical. ;)
It's probably strange because it describes a basic reality of the world, but one that so many people strain to avert their eyes from.

I'm not making any generalisations about Jews. Just conveying what looking at any Sunday Times, or Forbes rich list will tell you, or what looking at the annals of scientific history or the recipients list of Nobel prizes will tell you, or what looking at a list of highly regarded concert pianists or violinists will tell you, etc. etc.

But I'm not much interested in going back and forth about this, the facts are the facts. And I already found it strange that oska took a thread of this sort as an opportunity to promote an agenda that is basically against the interests of all involved, i.e. mass migrations of cultures into lands where they are wholly incompatible with the native culture.
It seems like a lot of APIs are created to support websites, and then developers/PMs think oh well might as well open this up to the public, not really taking into account the ramifications.
James Hansen is somewhat controversial, but this paper has been reviewed and accepted for publication in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, and it's very serious: https://app.box.com/s/i4u002tbpcvkamj9wq4n8t1u8wxsjhis

I'd summarize but anyone interested in the near-term (this century) effects of climate change and already on HN should be willing to read the actual paper.

The one thing that really doesn't resonate with me is the undertone of bitterness.

First, I bought Punch Club on steam, and enjoyed it.

But I think the assumption that's easy to make is "Look at all the money I would have made if people didn't pirate." It's not that simple. Some people who pirate would never have bought it in the first place.

This is unlikely to be intentional bias by Google, given that Eric Schmidt's startup is working for the Clinton campaign, the Google Ideas head has worked with Clinton on political matters (and used to work at the State Department with her), and Googlers are now in key positions in our Democrat-establishment-led White House.

So any weird choices to discredit her wouldn't make sense for Google to do. It's a funny little result though. It appears to be based on the article title: "US State Department Unsure If More Emails MISSING From Hillary Clinton CACHE" which has likely been a very popular, high-ranking article for those words lately.

More generally, people write:

which is somewhat general (sequences include lists, dicts, strings, tuples, generators, text files and more [2]), and it covers a wide range [1] of use cases.

[1] Pun not intended.

[2] Basically, any iterable. This include custom iterables you can define, which can then be iterated over using the same standard for loop. A unifying feature of the language:

"The use of iterators pervades and unifies Python."

Yes, the 1GB is troublesome. However, judging by the 4S at least we know that half of it will be available for apps in iOS 9, since the 512 of the 4S is right at the edge of being filled by the OS. The question is of course how many upgrades it will survive - this smells a lot like planned obsolescence.
Over here, devs want two Samsung 950 Pro on M.2, raid-0, for a 1TB boot/OS drive. The rest of it is also going to be SSD space, but C: will only be 1TB (or maybe less if they dual boot to Linux).

Sure, but Apple also said that no one wanted a stylus on a tablet. If the technology and market exist to do it well and make it a success, they'll make it. Touch and pen manipulation on laptop and desktop screens so far have done little to show that this is something any significant portion of the market actually wants.

Personally, I have two touch-enabled laptops and the only time I interact with the touch screen is when I try to point at something in conversation and am unpleasantly surprised when it moves the cursor.
This sounds really scary!

I think it's a safe bet we'll use up all the fossil fuels we can find, and release the carbon into the atmosphere, regardless of the carbon taxes and cap and trade. And even after that, we'll continue to boil water with nuclear rods to generate electricity with tons of heat waste. Where does all that go?

The best we might hope to do is somehow capture the carbon in the air and put it back underground... trees and seaweeds seem to do that. And then we mighy try to capture all the plastic we dumped in the pacific ocean...

Seriously doesn't think make you think twice about the future for our grandchildren?
Those are two unrelated things. You should not have combined them that way. And the second one is very very offtopic.

You want to congratulate Jews for having a culture that produces people like him? Do it.

If Intel bought out Compaq in 1991 history would be different. I used Compaqs around that time. They had small pizza boxes with 386 and 486 CPUs in them.

I'd imagine Intel would make Compaq PCs with their other chips like the 80980 and other chips.

Maybe make Unix workstations with RISC chips using HP-UX.
Unfortunately I have no iPhone to test it on. I'll see if I can borrow one...

Did anyone else notice the weird GNU/Linux screed on line 803? In particular, the "Additional Comments" content is actually written with a large amount of look-alike Unicode. Playing around with this data in Excel somehow byte-shifted it into garbage. I noticed that other folks thought it would be funny to put things like =SUM(G1:G1000) in other cells, but this seems a little bit more sinister for some reason. Anyone savvy enough in UTF-8 to deduce what's going on there?
> What matters are tooling, libraries and vendor support.

Yeah, I thought so, too. Then we built a content management system in Objective-C on Sun/AIX/Linux. We had a so so Foundation and that was it. It was amazing. Completely changed my mind.

The failure to obtain a college education has an external impact on the families, friends, employers, and coworkers of those failing to be college graduates. Failure to be a college graduate affects the ability to abide by social norms imposed upon everyone. In a developed nation with a safety net, failure to be a college graduate might even implicate society's need to rescue those who can't work or injure themselves during uneducated activities.

You're making an argument for which anything could be illegal. The public could develop an irrational prejudice against people wearing purple. Then you could make all of those statements about that. Is it the public's right to ban purple clothing? Do we still have freedom simply because there is more than one other color? This may seem facetious but it's not that far from tattoos and piercings. You're almost suggesting that there shouldn't be inalienable rights. I understand that in "reality" there ultimately aren't but I hadn't realized our society was so ready to abandon the ideal.
I had the privilege of meeting Andy Grove a few years ago after he expressed interest in learning what our startup was doing to advance medicine. At the time, he was already clearly suffering the physical effects of Parkinsons, but mentally he was completely with it.

He listened without saying a word for ~15 minutes while I explained what our startup does. Then, he began "If I were you, I'd..." and proceeded to tell us specific ways he thought we could better focus our business. His advice was relevant and demonstrated a crisp understanding of our business and many of the challenges we'd face over the next several years.

My natural inclination was to jump in and start pushing back, but I just stop and decided to listen and learn from this business legend. I left extremely impressed. Even today, several years later, we're still executing on many things he foresaw after a brief interaction.
Hell, they'll have half a billion just in the computing & control systems. Having worked to design, build, and certify the avionics systems on three major commercial aiframes, one of which is now flying (787), I am hopeful but beyond skeptical. When a company backed by the government of the world's largest economy (Comac) can't make decent progress on a subsonic airframe built with 20+ year old and well understood technologies, and when leading airframers like Boeing had a helluva tough learning curve building a composite subsonic airframer (787), I'm beyond doubtful that this startup is going to build a supersonic composite airplane before it goes bankrupt. Google '787 wing box' and '787 delamination' if you want to know the kind of pain Boeing went through when trying to build a composite airframe.

If you want to get and idea of the magnitude of the regulatory hurdles in a domain that most here will understand, google DO-178C. The mountains of documentation that you have to produce for the software will push any integrated avionics development effort well into the hundreds of millions, unless they plan on using bog standard off-the-shelf parts, and even then they'll have to deal with the flight control system, which will have to be custom by necessity. For some google food, search on 'wcet analysis', 'structural coverage analysis, 'MCDC analysis', 'requirements traceability', 'stack analysis', etc. There are huge hurdles to leap through to get certified, and that's just for the software.

I hate being a wet blanket :(.

OTOH, if they can get capital in the 5-10+ billion range, poach all the best folks from Boeing, Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, GE, UTC, Gulfstream, etc. etc. etc. (which will involve setting up offices in Seattle, Phoenix, Cedar Rapids, Cincinnati, Grand Rapids, Savannah, the UK, France, etc. -- the aviation scene is a bit older, people have families, and are not so keen to move), then they might actually pull it off. Which would be awesome. And I'd totally be in (if they set up an office in my area, that is).
Raymond Moore Steps Down as CEO and Tournament Director of the BNP Paribas Open
As a project, I don't think PostgreSQL wants (or should want) anybody running a DB from the source tarball that's (eventually) stamped as 9.6 - it's existence is a mere artifact of the actual packaging work that goes on during a release. In all cases you should be installing packages via your OS's installation mechanism, and those packages will be authenticated (or not, as the case may be, but it's not in-scope for Postgres-the-project, and it shouldn't be different for installing PG vs. any other piece of software on the system). A production-ready setup needs an OS user, logging/logfile rotation, some tooling for managing DB clusters, and a half-dozen other things I've never even thought about. If you just want to check out the source, clone the repo.

But in a production environment, you always want to use a package provided by your OS vendor. Postgres has excellent packagers for both Debian and RHEL-flavored distros (and I imagine more) and you really want to have the system-level considerations thought through by someone by someone who knows what needs to be thought about.

TBL got permission from his manager to do WWW as a side project. For NCSA Mosaic, it took a team of 5 a year to produce 100KLOC of C. In other words, it would not have been possible as a side project, and thus we would not have the WWW.

As part of Spark 2.0, we are introducing some new neat optimizations to make a general engine as efficient as specialized code.

I just tried on Spark master branch (i.e. the work-in-progress code for Spark 2.0). It takes about 1.5 secs to sum up 1 billion 64-bit integers using a single thread, and about 1 secs using 2 threads. This was done on my laptop (Early 2015 Macbook Pro 13, 3.1GHz Intel Core i7).

We haven't optimized integer sorting yet, so that's probably not going to be super fast, but the aggregation performance has been pretty good.

scala> val start = System.nanoTime
start: Long = 56832659265590
scala> sqlContext.range(0, 1000L * 1000 * 1000, 1, 2).count()
res8: Long = 1000000000
scala> val end = System.nanoTime
end: Long = 56833605100948
scala> (end - start) / 1000 / 1000
res9: Long = 945

Part of the time are actually spent analyzing the query plan, optimizing it, and generating bytecode for it. If we run this on 10 billion integers, the time is about 5 secs.
