It's always been the software. VHS beat Beta, both beat V2000. V2000 was the best quality by far. VHS took a long time to get close. VHS had the most films.

Same with PCs - the software done it. MS Office, Wordperfect, etc. Lots of more interesting, more sexy machines in the market became also-rans.

I'm glad cars never quite got to the same homogeneity or we'd all be driving a Datsun Sunny or something equally horrific.

I wish the market had settled for 5 or 6 different PC / phone / chip architectures, as I think the progress would have been more interesting, and much much further. Damnit Motorola should have kept making 680x0s, they were much nicer than Intels to program.
True, that's even spelled out in the GPL itself (that's from GPL 2, but GPL 3 has similar content in section 9):

> 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License [...]

The copyright owner obviously doesn't need the license to have permission to modify the code, so they're not bound by it.
Yes RFC 2822. Look for the addr-spec rule.

> Some of those systems come from vendors who have very competent teams and invest heavily in their systems, and some have tried fancy, expensive JVMs with supposedly better real-time performance and have failed to get them to work.

This is very important. There's far too much No True Scotsman in typical discussions around this. The fact remains that really good teams try and fail to meet needed performance criteria, even though their app/service meets all other requirements, is well architected, well coded, and the team has experience in GC tuning, pitfalls, etc.

> Maybe it can be done, but that doesn't mean that you're going to be able to do it, especially if you don't design all parts of your application from the beginning to operate within the constraints of real-time GC implementations.

Because... unless your solution is one where you can simply avoid doing a few stupid things that make the GC unhappy, you have to wade deep into managing memory, except you can't do it directly. You have to understand/infer how seemingly innocent code impacts GC, and then suggest/cajole/plead with the GC to do what you want. It required the kind of intimate knowledge that GC is supposed to save you from, but doesn't have the direct manipulation tools.

There are large classes of problems where GC is perfectly fine. Great even. But there are other problem domains where sluggishness or pauses are not acceptable, and not just realtime or soft realtime.
People always raise these issues... "I know about a tricky street that no computer could drive!" But it doesn't really matter in terms of selling autonomous cars. If autonomous driving is only enabled for the top 90% of the most autonomy-friendly routes, then only people in those areas will buy the first round of autonomous cars. Over time, AI improves, maps improve, and people put pressure on municipalities to improve roads.

But is any of that a problem for Tesla to sell a lot of autonomous cars? No. Not even a little.
This very interesting short article regards the evolving problems with the simple HDL/LDL conception of coronary disease:

"Lilly’s evacetrapib did just you would want a CETP inhibitor, or any lipid-targeting cardiovascular drug, to do. It raised HDL by 130% compared to placebo, and lowered LDL by 35%. But the cardiovascular outcomes (MI, angina, stroke, and so on) were absolutely identical between the treatment group and the placebo group. At one point, if you’d asked cardiologists to predict the effects of a compound that affected cholesterol levels in this way, you’d have gotten some pretty enthusiastic guesses. But not now."

I feel like the comment I just wrote responds to everything in this comment.

Using violence to coerce a preferred outcome is wrong. Abusing a monopoly, or colluding with peers to create an abusive cartel, to coerce a preferred outcome is wrong. Lying to coercively trick people into a preferred outcome is wrong. None of that is happening here.

If any of what's happening here is wrong, so was the apartheid divestiture movement.

There's a perfectly coherent intellectual framework that sees the divestiture movement as wrong, too, but we're unlikely to have a productive discussion if you think that.

"Safe browsing" is one of the first things I turn off when installing a new profile in a browser. I personally dislike any commercial service turned on by default in my software that continually and without my consent pings back to some place on the net - using my real IP address and leaking anything remotely related to destination addresses. And cookies?

I think there should be better ways of protection than trusting such a service anyway.

One point that seems to be ignored in this discussion is that having a GC creates problems for interfacing with foreign libraries. It's not too hard to create hooks in the runtime to allow calling C functions, but it's very hard to go the other way, and usually you have to write bridge code in C that links to both the language runtime and the foreign library. And no matter what there will be function call overhead that's unacceptable in some circumstances.

Languages runtimes enable lots of other cool things, like JIT compilation and runtime specialization, user-space schedulers and I'm sure some other things as well, but if, as a language designer, all you want is GC, consider if that's worth all the costs of having a runtime.
Yes. They're no exception. They actually make DMA transfer safe, without doing unnecessary work.
> Now they try to introduce an optional GC for convenience.

Most of the GC work in Rust, at least at this time, is more about integrating with external GCs. Think "Servo uses javascript objects that Spidermonkey controls" or "A Ruby gem in Rust lets the Ruby GC deal with Ruby objects."
It's funny, i have been frustrated since day 1 which gmails search. Granted, it could very likely be user error - as i often forget the set of keywords that might lead me to the email i desire, but regardless i as a user am left frustrated.

Since someone may ask, my desires are simple in nature, but i'm sure difficult to implement. I simply want to find an email. On the Google Search side of things, i have often been very impressed by the search results i am able to achieve. Yet for email, it's been far less successful.

On Search, i'm able to use synonyms, or hell even vaguely describe (in the case of movies) plots, and often be presented with what i want. On Gmail, it feels like Gmail has no idea about the context or content of my mail (which is arguably their selling point), and instead i'm purely searching by keyword. The frustration is amplified by the fact that Search(proper) works so surprisingly well, i'm sure.
This requires entering your email before downloading the report; is this allowed by the HN rules?

Your argument is suggesting that there are enough people in the market using their tax deductions as a strategy for paying their mortgages. I'd argue that if you are that close to not being able to afford your mortgage, you won't make it past underwriting. Even if you did, the volume wouldn't be such that it demands significantly higher sale prices. And even if it did - it would pale in comparison to China-fueled cash-in-hand sales and zero interest rate policy, which is driving all markets.

A quick google search doesn't produce results that suggest that removing the deduction would reduce housing prices to the point that people in this thread are saying. Here is just one example that states it would reduce prices by 0.3%: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/what-changes-mortgage-...
You don't even need a secondary tool. The standard devicetree compiler, dtc, can convert a dtb back into a dts no problem. The dtb format is a pretty basic serialisation of the dts file, so fairly little information is lost (mainly pre-processor stuff like includes and some macros for constants) and you can easily round-trip.
Views of the Sea Floor Near the Entrance to San Francisco Bay
Regardless of your view of religion, political position, Sharia etc., are you saying that the actions of the Egyptian military on 14th August 2013, in which they fired on civilians killing somewhere around 1000 people were justified (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_2013_Rabaa_massacre)?

The negative of course does not mean justifying any actions of the MB or other groups.
I would VASTLY prefer to be in that car than to be in a different car with a human driver and watch a person get killed by the vehicle I'm riding in.
Not really. If I did, it would be to market and gauge interest in something that I largely knew how to do already and didn't involve a big capital outlay.

ADD: In this case, my point is that with an hour of research and shopping I could source existing retail products that (for me) would be a better bundle. Of course, this wouldn't be cool.
I will always remember the episode in the Ken Burns' documentary "The War", when he describes his service during the Second World War and how somewhat unbeknownst to himself, he became the last war Crow chief.
Show HN: Super-simple real-time chat with restdb.io and streamdata.io
This is strongly what I've been advocating for. I use a desktop PC as my home automation controller at home. I feel that services like Sandstorm.io offer an amazing opportunity for self-hosted 'cloud services' in the future, and some of the good open source home automation software should replace what are currently cloud-based devices today.
You don't really need gauge at all, autonomous car or not. Seriously, in every day driving you need the speed and that's it. (even on a clutch ICE car, the RPM is really unnecessary unless you have a racing driving style) They have confirmed in some video that the odometer is within the visual field of the driver and actually very visible.

The rest of the information does not need constant visual presence, actually the GPS is probably more interesting than anything else.

I would still be surprised if there is no HUD provided with the car. You still need some very visible notification area for event like running out of juice or any kind of malfunction. Also there still some stuff the car are bad at doing like fog lights, or putting the light on in a foggy situation ( actually almost had a crash because of that - so use of the car switching the light on or off, forgot that fog during day or overcast weather are the same to a light sensor ) Also if the car is not 100% of the time autonomous, you need to be able to tell immediately if it is enabled or not.
> you wouldn't want foreign airlines giving their governments information about military and VIP movements

Just how magical is the the extra 2% that takes one from an "OK/freiendly" 49% foreign shareholder to a 51% (or 50% +1?) "oh no, intel stealer!". I sort-of understand the control argument, but not the secrecy argument you are making doesn't hold up.
I will allow that GC can be fast, but you have to work hard and have appropriate language features to keep it "chunky". If you have millions of small traces to follow, the n of your O(n) is going to be big. In contrast a manual collection algorithm can rely on user supplied metadata to free the whole dataset in one instant without having a tracing step.

In apps that need to scale, designing data to be efficiently allocated and freed becomes crucial and the reference by default strategy really falls down.
There's a world of difference.

1. There is evidence that drones exist.

2. The reports are being made by qualified recognised professionals, who are, at the time of reporting, clearly in good health, good state of mind, and sober (or they would not be in command of an aircraft).

3. The reports are sometimes made in real-time (pilots reporting to ATC over radio whilst on approach), or very shortly after the incident.

4. The reports are detailed (in some cases even describing the colour of the drone).

5. The incidents are backed up by secondary reports: e.g. drones being reported around an airport without necessarily causing an airprox incident.

All that said, perhaps better data would help document the degree of risk. The drones that are directly radio-controlled (rather than having a programmed flight-plan) will usually operate on a small set of standard frequencies, which could be monitored and recorded. Add some video surveillance, and this could add more documentary evidence to the reports.
Have some of the wealthier tribes fixed this problem for themselves? If they can't create a tribally-funded financial arrangement that makes a bank happy, couldn't the tribe just do the lending?

Of course, not every tribe has a casino, but if those that do had innovated in this area, we'd have a better idea of the best direction for federal funding.
I still hope for D here. (Maybe C# as well, but I don't know C# well enough)

The D community encourages `people.pick('name').capitalize().sort()`. They call it Component-Programming and they make it fast. See [0] for a more realistic example. The trick is to turn the methods into (lazy) iterators (streams in Java land) with static dispatch. Now the compiler can inline everything and optimize it like a C-for-loop.

The problem is that the D garbage collector needs more engineering effort to be on Java level. For example, it is not precise or concurrent yet.

Azure Cloud Functions vs. AWS Lambda: What You Need to Know
T-72B3s, Grads, BTR-82s were rolling into Donbas. Crimea was annexed by Russian troops, as admitted by Putin, and it takes quite an interesting mindset to deny it. Also interesting how the USA came to all those troubles with installing Poroshenko, but couldn't fake a poll or two.

But as I said, I understand perfectly your beef with the leaks. There is a huge swath of political left who seems to deny people their agency if they align with the Western interests in any way.
This is an extremely good solution IMO.

I do have offlineimap and mutt already setup and I can read emails, but haven't installed notmuch or done any configuration. Seeing 1.6 release reminds me that I should give it a fair try again.

I may sound way too off-topic, so I expect a lot of down-votes, but I think one should learn at least a little bit about hardware and how to design it manually. For example how to create FPGA designs by writing them in VHDL or Verilog.

> Good assistive systems (probably leading in the nearish term to a level of full autonomy under some conditions) has already started to arrive from a variety of auto makers--but Google doesn't seem to be interested in participating there. So there's a definite business model for assistive/autopilot systems and there will be, some day, for fully autonomous systems. However, it's unclear whether the latter, taken by itself, will be profitable in any reasonable commercial timeframe.

If you can replace a driver you are paying ~$20,800 [$10/hr] every year, that is ~$100k of savings [I'm assuming the more complex car also costs ~$100k to service over 10 years, so it may be more than that if I'm being overly conservative].

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2015/12/0...

Right now, its ~$100k to produce a self driving car. If they can get it down to $50k and maintenance costs of ~$5k/year ... it is much, much cheaper than any human driver.

UBI is far easier to understand. It's exactly what we have now (with perhaps higher taxes), except you get a cheque for $Xk as well.

NIT is a counter-intuitive trick to achieve the same thing within a tax bracket framework. Maybe it's more elegant, but understanding it requires a comprehension of mathematical concepts that many people (especially on lower incomes) simply don't have.

My best guess is that Netflix makes its original/shared rights programming for specific segments of its user base.

Some shows of theirs have really resonated with me, and others I can't even begin to approach.

However, that's just specific shows... with regular television, I'd feel that way about specific channels because they're targeting an entire userbase that doesn't include my tastes.

Netflix seems to cater to everyone, being extremely eclectic with what it holds in its catalogue, but when it comes time to make a series---they don't do the typical thing of watering down a series to try for broad appeal but rather they go for just to a specific niche.
I'm about to use them for a startup. Anything I should know? Tips and tricks welcome.
You can put a manual allocator on top of a runtime GC, just like you put it on top of malloc.

It is Java where you are stuck. Not GC languages in general.
Well, that's the idea. That's what the UI supporters are arguing for.

In exchange of that money, given to "total strangers" we get to live in a better country, and have the security of knowing we won't end up homeless on the unlikely case we can't find work anymore (yeah, I pay for that safety today - both methods can be either added or replaced, replacing is harder). Here at Brazil the numbers would be lower overall, but the consequences get bigger.

I think any implementation would need to start with a small value and increase slowly. It's not certain that the median wage is either viable or optimum, but might be a sane ceiling.

This is, please forgive me, a very idealistic view of single parent families. It's very easy to earn too much money to qualify for welfare (or other government subsidies), while still not making quite enough to support a decent life.

There are frequently waiting lists, restrictions (my favorite is disability, where you are not allowed to work, but are given barely enough money for yourself to live on), and miles of red tape associated with government subsidies. There's also the very real cost to the pride of the entire family associated with these subsidies.
