It's not as productive as it could be if people were instead engaged in the commercial activities of investing in intellectual property.

Financial assets and intellectual property are not something I can teach you in a comment box. I recommend reading these two books and then we can start the conversation back up again.

Tyler Cowen and Hernando de Soto are two economists that are held in incredibly high regard and have done a wonderful job explaining the core concepts of both what constitutes finance and how it applies to intellectual creativity in a market economy.

Uh huh, ok, sure, whatever you say... yawn
Killing civilians is war crime. Israel is hunted for 1/100th of this, even if they are doing everything to prevent hurting innocents, and terrorists are deliberately using civilian building to strike from.
Queries are not limited to a single core anymore in the upcoming 9.6 release. There's a lot more that can be parallelized than what's in 9.6 though (sorting most importantly probably).
I just have one smallish question. Is the need to bench then add an actor the only way you "allow" transfer of children between parent actors?

In similar systems that I have constructed in the past, I have used a number of methods for passing actors in different states.

Pass a fully instantiated actor via a transfer process. Nothing changes for the actor, beyond reassigning parentage.

Pass a cleaned actor via a similar process to the bench and add process. This was used to allow an actor to be reduced to a resting state as it were. In most cases you could think of it as a resurrection method that allowed discarded actors to be reinstated with only specified base properties in place.

Anyway, I don't use Lua at all, but I like these type of actor messaging models. I look forward to reading through the rest of your documentation once it's done.

I'd prefer they open sourced and allowed you to run the service (self-signed) locally.
This is where there is a division between the way the FSF presents itself, and the way the software is used. Without a kernel, the claims that GNU is a replacement for UNIX is disingenuous. GNU Hurd is not production ready. It is a series of tools, some of where adhere (mostly) to the POSIX standard, and some of which provide other functionality.

If we're going to start naming systems based on the tools, then I use a ZSH/MS/VIM/PSF/Linux distro. There are other providers than GNU.
You know, judging whether people are repressed or not, especially over internet, isn't very considerate.

I wonder why the top comment in this thread is being downvoted so hard. I could see it being a legitimate concern for some people.
Spoken with all the honesty that I've come to expect from Steve Miller. Absolutely love that cranky old man telling the truth.

Question is why haven't the artists spoken out about the hall of fame over the years? Note some are backing him up now.
It's terribly slow unless you don't care about encryption: https://github.com/weaveworks/weave/issues/1925

The per-packet processing overhead is a real and unresolved problem.

I'm using Rancher's networking now instead. It uses ipsec between hosts, so everything gets handled by code paths which have been optimized in the kernel, and performance is good (especially if you have a not-ancient CPU and have the AES-NI instruction - then wirespeed gigabit works with acceptable overhead).

I like Weave's decentralized architecture and wish it were realistic to use it.

If they are going to stick with a user-space solution they probably need to use DPDK or one of the other high-performance software defined networking toolkits, which tend to process packets using a SIMD approach.
I made no comment on the fitness for purpose of the community standards or the skill of application. I'm mostly commenting that the standards are largely reactively enforced, and this can lead to bias.
Both XCode and VisualStudio are proprietary IDEs designed to support building apps for their respective operating systems. If you're writing a Windows native application, you will find Visual Studio on Windows to work the best, likewise if you're developing a Mac OS X native application then XCode on OS X is the smart choice.

In my opinion, neither one is well suited for building a native Linux application nor the sort of applications that would need a Docker container in which to run (web application, etc.)

So is your own comment.

1. Aspartame doesn't release insulin, but it does provoke release of related hormones. Other artificial sweeteners DO stimulate insulin release. See my reply to my own comment for a quick sampling of relevant articles.

2. Yes, insulin is a generalized storage hormone, but fat is always ready to absorb, while muscle requires exercise to stimulate the absorption. Unless you're exercising heavily (which isn't most of us), my general point stands.

A few more details due to the character limit:

BACKGROUND

There are a slew of new applications that can benefit from space technology, e.g., "internet everywhere", IoT (M2M messaging), asset tracking etc. Rapid growth of the small-sat sector and robust consumer electronics have precipitated a drastic drop in the cost of space-based infrastructure.

BUSINESS MODEL

We'd love to put together something like the Red Hat business model: delivering enterprise-level, open-source software under SLAs. With satsearch specifically, we plan on delivering a comprehensive analytics report (likely monthly) that allows suppliers to monitor what's being search for and how the market is evolving (under a subscription model).

We've already had a number of inbound requests from suppliers to be listed in satsearch. We are in advanced negotiations with a major space agency (direct procurement), a supplier that wants our structured data for market analysis, a university small-satellite team and two governmental organizations seeking to raise the profile of their space clusters.

Besides directly serving the space industry, we have supported an indie game developer in adopting our libraries for a new space-based strategy game. We have also had discussions with a company interested in leveraging our tools for tech transfer.
Yeah in my experience most "innovation" has been on the quantitative "more of x" side of things: better ISO, more pixels, more shots per second, 4k video etc.
People have been complaining that "kids these days talk wrong" for at least five years now, why are you any different.
Yeah, let me just roll out some cool Apache-licensed projects in COBOL and see how many pull requests I get.
"When Ms. Doe expressed dismay about the unreasonable searches she suffered, a Medical Center employee responded that these procedures were routinely followed when an individual is brought in by CBP agents. The employee also told Ms. Doe that what happened to her was not invasive."

Assuming they're spread out over ~10-12 hours (some crazy morning people, some crazy nocturnal people), that's only ~4-6 commits per hour.

Most problems will be discovered by someone and reported in an hour, and most of those will also be discoverable in a dataset on a system like Scuba - https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/under-th... - and you can identify the first time that particular issue happened.

If you're lucky, it lines up exactly to a commit landing, and you only need to look at that. Otherwise, due to sampling, maybe you need to look at two or three commits before your first report/dataset hit. You can also use some intuition to look at which of the last n commits are the likely cause. A URL generation issue? Probably the commit in the URL generation code. You'd do the same thing with a larger bundled rollout, but over a larger number of commits (50, in the case of a daily push).
Besides the gap myth (or misconception, I would call it) that others have already pointed out, this article contains some other questionable statements.

> Numerous studies have shown that equal pay for women would significantly boost the American economy—in one year, the U.S. would have produced $447.6 billion more income

Surely this income not going to women is going to someone else -- male workers, presumably, or to shareholders. $450B wouldn't just come out of thin air, would it?
The linked page doesn't explain how they came to this number. I'm assuming they just took the difference women earn on average times the number of working women.
Is there a VR headset out there that already allows you to experience 3D?
As a pianist the key here would be musical versatility, there is a lot of work but it is spread across musical domains.

The musical skills might include reading literacy, proficiency in improvisational idioms and the ability to teach these things.

The more difficult realm might be establishing a working band of professionals, per individual the professional attitude would be worth more than sheer musical skill. Professionaly minded people working together can build skills that will eventually surpass what an individual can bring alone.

Networking is important, there's lots of ways to engage with your immediate community and it has always helped me to reach across as many professional aisles as I can. How many high functioning professional musicians do you think the average person knows? You should be one of them for the people close to you.

EDIT: I'd like to add venue versatility. Most discussion seems to be around entertainment venues but what about educational, accompaniment, theathrical, ceremonial, religious (I do not personally partake in this).
Yeah The Fonz started hawking them about 5 years ago.
The US FDA thinks 1000 Bq/kg for Cs-137 is just fine.[1] Browsing around, I have seen other sources that go higher. I am not knowledgeable enough to know if one or both of those limits is overly conservative. Considering my experience with other food safety limits, I would say they probably are.

Uber Transparency Report
I think a lot of people are missing a point here. It's not just one sided deals and taking advantage of naive or desperate artists. Its that a lot of the entertainment industry is actually gangsters and crooks.

Music and movies and other forms of entertainment have been fantastic ways to launder money for a long long time. Maybe someone should to create a way for independent artists to "sell" for those who need a way to legally attribute their profit to the sales of something else.
But ARQ has always been fast, and figured out what it needed to backup pretty much instantly, and just did it's job and got out of the way - unlike things like spotlight/mdworker, or crashplan/backblaze, that are constantly thrashing my CPU and causing my fans to spin up.

From my uneducated perspective, having simple software that just worked was a bonus - who knows, maybe with the addition of threading, and consumption of filesystem events, ARQ is going to become crummy, and a door will be opened for someone else to write simple backup software without those features that gets the job done and doesn't bog up your computer. I guess we'll have to try Arq 5 for a few weeks to find out. Fingers Crossed.

Ad blocking IS the solution. To many many problems.
Well, you have to fix the problems you have.

1. You must become a jedi-knight of white-board programming. For this, go to HackerRank and work absolutely as many problems as you can. But don't program them in an editor, get a whiteboard and use that. Then type in the program when you are ready to get it graded.

2. You need to fill in some knowledge you would have gotten in college. For this, read the first few chapters of "Introduction to Algorithms" by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein.

There's no royal road. Treat this as your full-time job until you get a job, i.e. work on it 8-10 hours a day 5 hours on the weekend.

This is what I did last time I was laid off.....I got nothing for 6 months, then after 6 weeks of the above regime I was able to slam dunk every interview I went to and got an awesome offer. Best of luck.

Apply HN: MBAville – Business Education, Gamified
http://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2016/Q2/purdue-stude...

MBAville builds games for business education. Our first product, Project Quant, teaches Accounting, Analytics and Economics in a gamified pizzeria setting. We find the classroom to be boring and un-engaging. What better way to learn business education than by actually managing a virtual company.

Our formula for engagement is bite sized learning, gamified environment, in-game course ware and subject integration. In Project Quant, the student will triple up as an economist, data scientist and accountant. We are looking for beta testers to use Project Quant. If you find it interesting, please contact : arun@mbaville.com, arunbharadwaj2009@gmail.com

We are a team of 2 co-founders from Purdue University: a MBA and a Masters in Computer Graphics technology. The MBA co-founder was an avid simulation gamer when young and believes that all of business education can be simulated on a massive multiplayer game featuring industries, economies and human behavior. The Computer Graphics co-founder has been building games all through his life and is very proficient in most programming languages.
Stefan, can you disclose how many people are working on the Arq now?

For some reason I always had an impression that you were impressively managing the whole thing just by yourself.
I'd gather that the 'marketing buzz' which HoF inductees might get are highly tempting for artists to put up with. For instance, would there be a Guns N Roses "reunion" stadium tour without the recent drama around their HoF induction? Maybe, but I kind of think it played a role somehow.

Or, in more simple terms, no musician wants to be seen as ungrateful for career recognition.
Twice as many chances for success! :)
That's impressive, can you teach me to write like you?
Because then they’d hurt their own bottom line.
please see my reply to nickknw below, I think some of that is relevant to what you just said and I'd be curious what you think of it.
Of course! Would be interesting to see BC broken down by floor...
There is a growing number of us moving away from semicolons. I find Typescript useful as the language is (of course) ASI-aware and you can double check that the Typescript compiler's output looks about how you would "expect it". ESLint and TSLint both now have semicolon never options and StandardJS is a simple NPM install standard away towards such an ESLint configuration.

Yeah, pretty much the only "rules" are to know never to add a line break after keywords such as return (which is the same rule as languages such as Python and which is also something you have to know, regardless of semicolons) and the "Winky Frown Rule": (, [, and ` all have to be winky frowns if you start a line with one: ;(, ;[, ;`

It's pretty liberating writing JS/ES/TS without semicolons, and with ES2015 syntax things, makes the language feel like Python or an OCaML relative (which it sort of is).
I build mostly web applications (Java, Ruby, etc.) and I have missed very little after moving from Mac OS X to Linux. OmniGraffle is the only thing that I really miss.

That said, I am not a graphic designer.

Has anyone tried both this and Crashplan? My Crashplan 10-computer subscription comes up for renewal soon so I'd be interested in people's experiences of how they compare. Generally I've found Crashplan to be pretty good. I like the way it backs up in frequent small increments and I like the backup destination options (cloud, folder, other PC, etc.). Does Arq compare well?
So why hasn't this made into an official support AMI by AWS?
I dunno, but things seem to be getting worse. I remember when it used to be "Have physical access to the local machine, then it's game over". After a while it became "Have remote shell access to the machine, then it's game over".

Have we really come to the point where it's now "Having access to the internal network is a 'game over' scenario for 95% of real-world networks" ?

WTF is happening to our security ?

It will print 10. There's absolutely no issue there at all. You've changed the value of the pointer which is NOT const.

const int \*b

Means a pointer to a thing that is const. The pointer itself (which is on the stack in this case) is NOT const.

const int *b = 9;
*b = 10;

^^^ This will NOT compile.

const int b = 9;
int main() {
int *a = (int *)b;
*a = 10;
}

^^^ This will compile (possibly with warnings). If you run it on an embedded target, this will crash: b will have been put in flash, so trying to write to it is a hard-fault.

Yes, C allows you to do 'unsafe' things with pointers. You aren't going to fix that without throwing away C and starting again.
>unkind response

Some of responses in this comment thread look very much like blatant schoolyard bullying behaviour manifesting. "Why take things so seriously" "Spoilsport" et cetera ...

Partake in the hazing rituals, or else.
But this is all not production ready. There could be very well unforeseen problems like the ones the german Thorium reactor had.
The engineers also didn't think their pebles would break and scatter.
The essential difference between Javascript and Go is that in Go, the semicolons are inserted by the lexer[0], while in JS, they're inserted by the parser. I don't know how Rust does it.

This means that Go's semicolon insertion rules are really simple: to judge if a statement will end in a semicolon, you only need to examine that line (actually, the last token of that line).

In Javascript, on the other hand, the start of the next line needs to be considered as well. If the two lines could possibly be interpreted as one statement together, then they are (except for restricted productions). [ and ( are common offenders that cause lines to "pick up" other lines, but unary + and - can also be candidates when they get promoted to binary operators.

But, sadly, the Guardian's business model is based around advertising and so they need the eyeballs... so to get the eyeballs on quick approach is to write the click-bait headlines. :-(
"I get that it doesn't use my mobile bandwidth, but I'm not usually very worried about that and that concern is decreasing very rapidly over time."

Unfortunately we (consumers in developing countries) cannot boast about same. Even while travelling, most of the time we do not even have internet connection. Even if we do, we cannot watch movies on mobile bandwidth without worrying about the aftermath on our pocket. Consuming videos over mobile bandwidth is actually suicide in most cases.

2nd point is that, watching videos in a buffering-free experience on mobile networks at affordable price is still a distant dream. That is the one of the reason Google advertised so much on Indian television about "Download youtube movies and watch without internet" - the entire of 2015. And if you know the whole saga of Facebook Free basics, you would realize that most people in India with smartphones don't have internet, because they cannot afford it.

Because the reality is that internet is limited in terms of availability and bandwidth, hence a proposed solution.

One more primary use case is watching videos in Flights. Most flights in India for example, do not have any sort of entertainment module. Even in limited international flights that I have been on like Emirates, the content on the Seat dashboards are limited, not frequently updated.

Coffee chain example might be horrible. But it can be seen as a value add for the coffee-chain. Small-time coffee-shops would be more appropriate. Other businesses can use Coffee-chains as base to set up these Entertainment hotspots.

Now about our proposed solution. Its a DIY kit, using which you can convert an existing phone into an "Entertainment hotspot" and serve people videos or any content - "without using up their data". Depending on the requirement, the "Entertainment hotspot" will sync/get data from our server to the "local Entertainment hub" and then to end user.

We are actually already working on building the entire business ourself, like providing Entertainment hotspots. But we thought if we make this kind of DIY kit available to all, people can use this Kit to come up with use cases we could not have imagined.

Frankly I don't even what people will come up with, in terms of use cases. But with my limited imagination, I think the following is possible

1) A small-time coffee-shop setup "Entertainment-hotspot" using his spare device and serve entertainment to his customers
2) High secret content streamed to group of viewers in the conf room. No uploading etc..
3) Retail shops can use this to push Catalogs, Demo/promotional videos/content
4) Restaurants can use this for entertainment and pushing content like "Menus" etc..
Is it really competition though?

You choose A, Facebook wins. You choose B, Facebook wins.

I believe WhatsApp and FB Messenger are the two top chat networks right now (sadly), at least when looking at regional dominance. And since the value of a network to the individual is dependant on the size, AND they're locked up, they win whatever you choose.

You might loose because you chose the network with less friends, but that changes nothing in the end.
