This is the pitfall of not having manual backups for critical systems.

I hope this "do-fast, shiny, fix later" culture hasn't spread to SpaceX too. From what I'm seeing Musk wants to prioritize the look and feel of Dragon instead of the raw functionality that's necessary in case something goes wrong. That'd be a very, very bad idea if something were to happen. Space is not a forgiving realm.
If a large percentage (by that I mean 10% or more) of that model car were having the same issues, I'd be concerned. Hell, even if 1% were it would be grounds for a model-wide recall. But this is two anecdotal reports. TWO. I'm not saying there aren't a few more people with these issues, but neither is it a widespread issue (that we know of yet, based on this article).

It's my understanding as an admittedly sideline spectator, that Tesla stands behind their vehicles and is always quick to address any issues. Granted, these are safety issues and should receive the fastest attention possible, but there's no indication (other than an indirect inference by one of two affected people) that Tesla is ignoring this. They can't ignore it, because they are too young to afford to.

I'm calling it a hit piece, or at the least, poor journalism for now.

Well, 10 grams isn't that small (though certainly not large), and retails for about 100 CAD. So, if people become more likely to smoke up once it's decriminalized, then it would seem to me that it would provide a windfall for the sellers, distributors, and producers. I have no hard evidence to support this belief - it's just a supposition that seems to me to be reasonable and logical.
Couldn't you write a really simple kernel[1] or bootstrapping program, and effectively run your program without an OS?

Does an architecture (ARM / AVR / x86) limit the possibility of writing real-time code if the code is the OS, and just runs on the bare metal?

Your program would run in ring 0, be the only "process" and have full access to RAM. You decide whether you want to handle interrupts or not. (I assume there's a way to select what interrupts you want to handle.)

Good try kid. But you ain't goin' nowhere with this FUD.

- Life's too short to deal with cross-browser incompatibilities.

- jQuery too heavy for you, there's Zepto.

- Not at all times you are in control of your stack, especially when you just inherited the project.

- If you happen to work on a Drupal project, good luck with ditching jQuery. It's built in.

- Clients will always ask for "cross-browser support up to IE8" without knowing it's a dead browser.

- What matters to clients is that it works. They don't give a beaver's construction project what you used to build it.

I'd wouldn't say "Why you shouldn't use jQuery", but more of "when to and when not to use jQuery/vanilla/CSS3".

I don't want to knock the paper too hard without actually sitting down and reading it (which I'm going to do tonight, and I won't dump raw notes on HN until I've given the paper a serious chance), but I'm not encouraged right off the bat. I've been deep in the rkt integration hole and a lot of stuff referring to rkt is very rough and surface-level and, in five of the cases I mentioned, blatantly factually inaccurate. Same with Docker, too, actually, though the paper is quite obviously partisan (see http://imgur.com/a/D6nEw for example).

It seems super likely that you don't want to click on each track as the prior one finishes so a queue is needed.

It would seem then that playing directly from the library would be functionally identifical to adding everything you click on to a transitory playlist.

In fact you can more or less use it like this with a single playlist that you either clear or just keep adding to.

Seems like that would work better if there was an option to start with a blank playlist or trim the playlist automatically so that only the last x tracks were shown.

What is the difference if any between playing as you say directly from the library and a single transitory playlist.

I think there will always be applications where an OS is not needed, but 32-bit micros with floating point like the STM32-F4 (~168 MHz ARM) can do a lot of cool stuff that's impossible with Arduinos. Nontrivial robot state estimation and control, for example.
His eventual goal may be citizen space flights, so a reputation for looking comfortable might be beneficial.

At this point, SpaceX should have the backing of NASA and all their experience on things that could possibly go wrong. They've also done very well in unmanned flights.

The first manned flights will run into issues, but the problems they face are likely to be orders of magnitude less dangerous than their precursors.

Having recently been tinkering with the Objective-C Runtime (writing a bridge to another language), I think it'd be interesting to extend the comparison there as well. Actually, a more systemic review of what all the various various runtime platforms are capable of, apart from any particular languages implemented on those platforms, would be excellent reading.

(For just one example, I'd really like to see a comparison of the availability+overhead of various concurrency primitives in the runtimes of the JVM vs. Erlang's BEAM, vs. Obj-C's libdispatch, etc. The languages on each platform emphasize concurrency differently, but often at the VM level things are more similar than people think.)

Obviously the big titles get more attention than small ones -- nobody has an infinite supply of time -- but companies like Google, Microsoft and Intel cope with dozens if not hundreds of journalists worldwide. They even deal with journalists that they think view them unfavorably.
I think people are operating under different definitions of feminism. It's sort of an "if-by-whiskey"[1] thing. If by feminism you mean not discriminating against (or in any way thinking less of) women, then practically everyone on HN is a feminist. And many –including myself– would argue that if that's what you mean by feminism, then the term doesn't need to exist. We don't have a term for a non-racist. Why should we need a term for a non-sexist?

On the other hand, if by feminism you mean rather strident and angry views being put forth by some self-proclaimed feminists... well then I would say most of HN commenters aren't feminists. And I would also say I'm glad for that.

Really though, this whole topic is radioactive. It's best to stay quiet or use a pseudonym when discussing it. Otherwise, you're bound to make enemies.

Strange to see that HN is supporting the views of anti-science propaganda, promoted by religious groups. The great thing about science is that it is falsifiable. So, yes, mistakes will be made, specially with so much pressure to publish more papers. But finding the mistakes in these papers is another incentive that leads science to progress, while religion will forever keep pointing fingers without anything better to offer.

>What is the difference if any between playing as you say directly from the library and a single transitory playlist.

I don't like having a transitory playlist, I find it to be cluttering. It should play the next track in the library (or shuffle). If I make a playlist, it's to group similar music together.

I would like to be able to double-click on a track in my library and then tune out again until I don't like the music it's playing, rather than managing an interim playlist and having to intentionally add the album I want to listen to into it.

I don't think that any of the Tesla owners really thought their cutting-edge cars would be worry free. They have the same expectations as someone who uses beta software, and in exchange they get to experience an amazing car. Also don't forget that we have had problems like this with mechanical devices in cars, too. Slowly, we started using regulation and other tools to mandate additional safety checks (like the latch on your hood that prevents it from blowing back and smashing your windshield) to prevent those from happening. We're nowhere near anything like this for chips, really.

On the other hand, this is what the future is really like: in a few days or weeks, Tesla will release an update to fix this, and will probably deliver it wirelessly to every affected vehicle, and it won't be a problem any more. That's magic.
This multitiered approach does not necessarily make the end result faster. It is in vogue to do this, and for startup performance having a baseline JIT can be beneficial, but for workload throughput adding another tier isn't going to do much unless you have some concrete optimizations you are going to run that you decided against due to cost of compile time.
CLR .tail prefix is only a hint and not guaranteed. And traditionally it's had a ton of restrictions and limitations and was slow enough that F# stopped emitting it except when needed. (A lot of code ends up tail call optimizable, even if not recursive or designed that way.)

It's like the story of the Tesla catching fire. It was a big deal, and then it turns out that, statistically, Teslas catch fire at like 1/4 the rate of your average car, and harm their passengers even less often.

These stories aren't interesting to me until you can statistically compare the incidents to the malfunctions of equivalent vehicles.

Though it's important to note that it's only a suggestion for the CLR runtime. For instance, in .NET v2 (which as an engine also covers v3) it was rare for tail call optimization to trigger in 64-bit mode. They finally fixed this in .NET v4 to make F# viable.

What makes you think advertisers are the only bias? Listeners want to hear what they want to hear, too.

"While Linux Container systems (LXC, Docker, CoreOS Rocket, etc) have undergone fast deployment and development, security knowledge has lagged behind. The number of people focused on container security...seems disproportionately small"

I agree with this part. Most containers aren't running as an unprivileged user. Those environments that do support it only support it in a very limited set of os/kernel/whatever versions. Somewhat concerning since containers are getting traction almost everywhere.
I don't know about the Canadian proposal, but in Colorado, Oregon and Washington, all recreational sales go through a government controlled agricultural pipeline (not Mexico).

My experience with Joyent's Triton stack has been both simple and positive. Much of the stuff in Section 10 either doesn't apply to the Triton stack (e.g. their implementation of the Docker server doesn't leave sockets lying around), or has already been solved there (e.g. their container implementation has already been hardened over a decade, and actually works well). I'm obviously quite the fan.

This document is more an indictment of the current state of the Linux container ecosystem, rather than containers themselves. Don't conflate the two.
The New World Order Is Ruled by Global Corporations and Megacities–Not Countries
I was absolutely shocked by the abysmal coverage by Reuters of the Fukushima disaster. Many "quotes" from Tepco and the Japanese government were blatantly mistranslated to the point where Reuter's version was the opposite of what was said. I used to keep links to some of those stories, but I seem to have misplaced them. If you dig back into the archives of the wikipedia page you can still find them. One of the most notable incidents was when Tepco was first considering whether or not there had been a meltdown, Reuters reported that Tepco had said that there was no meltdown. What they actually said (in Japanese) was, "There is a possibility that there is a meltdown. We have to wait because the data is consistent with there not being a meltdown as well."

I'll have to apologize for not digging up good references because I don't have time. Several years ago there was a scandal in the Japanese press where one of the news outlets admitted to printing fictitous stories with an anti-nuclear agenda. This was before Fukushima (and I'm struggling to remember which news outlet it was, so I won't try to guess). I suspect that what is happening is that Reuters (and probably other news aggregators) are quite happy to take stories from established reporters on the ground. I think they do not rigorously check the facts, though. I have occasionally noticed other similar mistranslations, for example when the Japanese finance minister speaks at G8 summits, etc. Surprisingly often the report that gets picked up in the English news services is virtually the opposite of what is actually said.

My rule of thumb: If it is a contentious issue and it is happening in a country where English is not the main language, the odds that you will get an unbiased report in English media is virtually 0. The closer to home you get, the more likely you are to get good reports, but even then if you actually check the sources yourself you can find glaring errors in a shockingly large percentage of the stories.

People are people. People are busy. People don't check other people's work. Entertaining fiction sells better than complicated fact. It's really never going to work out. As long as you know that, it's fine.
