That's entirely true. But this article is about benchmarking the ODROID-C2 in a variety of situations, such as networking and storage, not using the GPIO on it.

For an x86 alternative, used laptops provide much better value for the money than buying a new SBC with an Atom.

If you want to add GPIO to one of these, you can easily buy an Arduino knockoff or something with an STM32 and control the GPIO device via USB.

Vendoring by storing node_modules works great. It's not necessary to shrinkwrap in that case -- all the same data is derived from the node_modules directory tree. For production, I often use a separate git repo for storing node_modules, referenced as a submodule of the code repo. This has two advantages:

* You retain history for your full dependency tree separately from your codebase.

* Every commit of your code repo exactly specifies the contents of its dependency tree, since the submodule references your deps repo by commit hash.

Hint: a lot smaller than almost all the CSV files I've had to deal with.

To the grandparent: you might want to make it more explicit that you're actually retaining the uploaded data and not just using it to generate the result page.

And I might be a bit pedantic, but filesystems are databases. Indexing and navigation methods sometimes differ, but a lot of people use advanced indexing in windows that not only checks extended attributes but also contents. etc.

Nice to see the gecko feet work getting some more interesting hardware. The robotics are interesting and the applications, especially in war zones, are pretty wide open. Since the gecko feet hold without power, a robot like this could recharge via solar power by sitting there, or set up an observation point for forward observers.
I think you're mixing up different groups of people. I know a lot of people who work in the area of criminal justice reform, and they're by and large not the same folks freaking out about what people say in colleges. Their primary interest is in sentencing reform, holding police accountable, and drug decriminalization. It's pretty far fetched to paint those folks as pushing for more government control.
I like this project. It comes from a good organization fighting for democracy. It will create more interest and activity. The tie-in to political groups that create more fighting than action has me a bit uncomfortable. I like that they start with principles all should have in common. It's very important to come up with clear, basic principles all groups can fight together over against corrupt government. Further, we'll all need to remind them of that as little scuffles break out.

> “All of us in business,” Mr. Grove wrote, “have a responsibility to maintain the industrial base on which we depend and the society whose adaptability — and stability — we may have taken for granted.”

Thats the money quote to me, and so much of what is overlooked when talking about industry and to a large extent, social welfare programs. I wish the overton window included the concept of the costs required to maintain a useful, stable society.
This may not be the answer you're looking for, but I think you might get the highest ratio of information-to-time by just trying it out. Second-hand opinions are hard. Practical Common Lisp is the best intro, and two chapters (maybe 40 min) in you'll know if it's worth going further.

I've been waiting 30+ years for computers to get subjectively faster. They don't. Ever.

Every new machine or processor is dragged down by the increased bloat and inefficient coding of the new OS to go with it. It'll be quicker starting up, only until you've installed a few basics, then it'll take as long as it always did.

They feel too slow always. Always have. Movies show things happening instantly - I now believe that will never happen. The Matrix should have included 1m "Loading" dialogues. :)

I get annoyed waiting for websites to load on multi Mbps broadband just like I did in the 90s with a dialup connection.

Sure things are doing more, but I'd like the cycle to include making that "instant" future please.
I'm not a native English speaker but to me, "kik'd" would feel more correct, maybe because it makes it clearer that kik is not a normal verb.

In any case, I think that it's fair to inform the author but feeling offended seems unnecessary. I had certainly never heard this word before and judging from the other threads here, neither had several native English speakers. To think that it was done on purpose seems really far fetched to me.
I don't think that attendees at Trump rallies really count as right wing, but rather as populist.
those early 2000's must have been the very brief golden age of rules engines/expert systems... but coincidentally, i was just recently thinking about doing some research on the current state of rules engines to see if there might be a viable option today for matching candidates to jobs.

my very first consulting project (yes, i had absolutely no experience), around that time, was implementing blaze advisor (now owned by fico: http://www.fico.com/en/products/fico-blaze-advisor-decision-...) to migrate a mainframe-based automated life underwriting system to a j2ee client/server system.

performance was a major concern, so i read Forgy's 1982 paper about RETE (that i didn't quite understand frankly), but the key takeaway (for me at least) was that all the hard work happened during compilation so running performance shouldn't be an issue. from what i dimly remember, the algorithm iterates through the rules set building something akin to a decision tree until the tree reaches a stable state. if it never reaches stability, it will throw a compile error. once the tree is built, matching is very fast.

the holy grail was that "business analysts" (remember when that title was in vogue? =) could write the rules, saving you months of precious time and thousands of dollars by not paying programmers (it did not turn out that way of course).
The author's intentions are not remotely obvious. It just as easily could be an anti-Semitic double entendre referring to both the kik situation and Jews, and I'm still not at all certain HN isn't being deliberately trolled with this submission.

What's the difference between income and private property? Nothing relevant here. Owning stock is just a ticket to future income, a share of wealth created by employees. Same as a hired CEO payment.
All that assumes these devices are purely relying on your own Internet connection to begin with. Many digital power meters, for one, have an embedded 3G SIM and antenna, so they can talk directly to the Internet without your help. I can imagine many future IoT devices using that approach, and then forming a mesh network over the public Internet and "discovering" your other devices on that mesh network. It basically boils down to the same problem, with the constraint that you don't control the router...

During the time of the debate around SOPA or PIPA, I found the Cato Institue particularly useful for two reasons:

1. There are a lot of people who won't read something from an organization with a liberal reputation regardless of the merits of the argument.

2. Their arguments matched up closely with mine. From an economic and game theory perspective I was mostly concerned about the implicit favoring of incumbent market participants, where upstarts wouldn't be able to build a business involving anonymous user-generated content. And, that there would be fewer lively communities and discussions overall with anonymous contributors.
I'm not familiar with those other approaches, but customisable metadata is only half what makes the database filesystem beneficial. Can you specify folders using a query language (via a GUI or otherwise)?

I think your impression of normal professional use is bonkers. For example, we use Slack and I auto-filter auto-emails so I only get about 30/day in my inbox. While you probably don't need 50 tabs open, I'm not sure this direction would preclude handling that in a decent manner. The editing would work the same whether or not Finder presented the files hierarchically or not...no change there.
I've been tinkering on one approach to trustworthy OSS ecosystem at https://github.com/chromakode/signet.

The OSS world has grown precipitously in the era of GitHub/npm/etc, and the trust model hasn't caught up. It's not tenable to maintain a GPG keychain for a nested tree of 100 dependencies. Neither is it advisable to keep deferring this problem. We need to come up with a solution for tracking reputation and trustworthy dependencies at this new scale. It's not simply a problem that package repositories like npm can solve for us -- the scope of this problem is human, and an ideal solution will work for both users and developers, and apply to source distributions and multiple package repositories. One of the few silver linings of the events of the last week is that more people are aware of and pondering these issues. I hope we'll see some more discussion and experimentation in this space!
What I find most funny about it is that HFS actually provides the closest model framework for a heirarchial distributed FS, where pretty much no other does (btrfs does have some benefits as well.)

Like the author, I worked on a distributed cloud FS, but hierarchy was a core goal. The abstracted reference system of HFS that split meta-data from the data resources is a huge boon to handling various common issues, from rights management to doing "fast" full-tree cloning over a distributed store and several other neat tricks like persistence. The biggest issue with distributed heirarchial file-systems is probably how to handle the full-tree cloning, in a way that isn't crippling, slow, or causes an enforced depth and file limits.

This makes sense. But I don't think the two are mutually exclusive. I think goal-motivation is different from goal-attachment. Being attached to "I will do my best to make x happen" rather than x itself focuses on actions and growth (within realm of control) than consequences (often outside of realm of control). Like a product failing because people are just not into it.

I think we can avoid those mistakes but what I see here is people telling other people what to do in a way that sounds unconditional: "x is better regardless of your situation." Some techs are better for x, other for y. Merging someone else's experience tree into your own is good, but it must be contextualized by their perspective--they're working on mobile embedded soft vs. you are on web, maybe, for instance. Or games vs. databasey things. Or their job is a performance engr but you are UI...

I'm starting a PhD in circuit design this Fall. What I've read and noticed is that there will be a shortage in strong hardware researchers in a few years due to the rising popularity of AI and ML. What do you think about this?

However I also have working experience in software dev, just in case this prediction doesn't pan out in the long run.

I'm actually going to work on a small business idea (likely SaaS) before my PhD starts, with the aim of scoring a modest source of income.
Modern frameworks have worked hard to mitigate DOM bottlenecks, thus pure JS bottlenecks are now a thing. Especially data-rich applications. Reflow and paint performance is still an issue but the focus on JS is worthwhile.
There's a pattern in most sectors where one party performs an optimization to reduce cost. Their margins are great until everyone else catches up. At that point, margins are back to razpr thin except you now bear the downsides of the optimization. You cannot regress because the market won't allow it. So you are now stuck, looking for another big move to get ahead.

In a lot of ways, I feel the emergence of dual income households has done that. It might have been economically advantageous at one point, but now (at least in HCOL areas) it's almost a requirement to just get by.

I heard someone say that while wages haven't really kept up with inflation, but household income has. I would love to see a source for that, but it would make sense to me.

Sure we can. Wall St does their best to enforce this because the alternative is losing money. Models work great in testing but fail horribly in the market.

I would assume it was (to most of them) but knowing and doing are two very different things (i.e. everyone knows smoking is bad for you and yet people still do it / start doing it).

> Most people I've talked to that experienced windows 8 would agree that when Microsoft did just that, it was a misstep.

Actually Windows 8 can't be a misstep because it led to UI optimization for Windows 10. Windows 8 was just a drastic change for sure, but once you understood it's concepts it was really well suited for beginners and power users alike. The only misstep I can think of with Windows 8 is calling the Start Menu a Start Screen. That made it seem entirely different, when it wasn't.

Just because the way he/she uses software doesn't work well with chrome doesn't make chrome bad software, and it doesn't mean the user is wrong. It just means that it's not a good fit for that person.
No one cares. People with capital looking to make profit see employees as interchangeable machines and as a cost center. They don't want to pay for training, i.e. 2 years experience for a junior position. They don't even want to employ people, i.e. contract work forever. They don't care if there is a loss of skills in the local market, they only care about what they have to pay now to get where they are going in the next 6-12 months. After that is anyone's guess. Don't expect them to do anything but increase their own well-being at the cost of everyone else.
Chrome as the new IE seems like a stretch without mentioning Firefox.
> "There was room for improvement, he argued, for what he called “job-centric” economics and politics. In a job-centric system, job creation would be the nation’s No. 1 objective, with the government setting priorities and arraying the forces necessary to achieve the goal, and with businesses operating not only in their immediate profit interest but also in the interests of “employees, and employees yet to be hired.”"

Although a valid concern putting "job creation" as a goal for governments can (and in a lot of occurrences in recent history, did) backfire spectacularly.

In the most reductive analogy it creates incentive for the government to create "hole diggers" and "hole fillers" type of jobs that, in aggregate, generate very few useful work while fulfilling this basic goal of job creation.

I believe this "job creation as priority" approach is inferior to both the "laissez-faire" capitalist alternative and the "basic income" social democratic one.

As an example of its dangers it suffices to see the kafkaesque process of fund allocation (and sourcing) for the public funded aerospace industry, both the military procurement (fighter jets, bombers) and the civilian NASA one.
I find the comparison puzzling and inspiring. Reminds me of Bohm's "Wholeness and the implicate order", "Unfolding meaning" etc. Or even of Chomsky's deep structure. I also can't help but feeling a sort of odd familarity with the idea of decoherence.
