I don't disagree with any of that. The poster I was originally replying to above was saying we shouldn't shut down the automakers because it would put thousands of people out of work in one sentence and then saying we should forbid them from making their primary source of revenuein the next. I'm just pointing out that these are effectively the same thing.

You can't taking a company with a 50+ year infrastructure built around doing one thing, tell it to stop doing that overnight and expect it to stay in business and continue employing 100,000 people. It just doesn't work that way.
I don't think the other 75% have expressed an opinion -- the Senate bill has only been in committee so far, not voted on by the Senate.

You win some you lose some. With Fragments Xamarin actually extends support to earlier Android devices. Less of an issue now, but there was a time when this actually extended platform reach, reduced code, and simplified training/upgrades.

> Easier to take 20 minutes and just write the tool.

What? That would be a huge red flag in my book. Where are your unit tests? I'm not trusting your 20 minute off the cuff reproduction of classic algorithms in any business critical piece of the code, not ever.

This would get you booted from a lot of places, or at least given a stern talking to for doing something that seems slick, cool, and time-saving in the short term (yay, let's roll our own!) when really it's immature and time-wasting in the long run.

Never (!) homebrew that shit unless you have to (like, you're in an embedded environment or your use case requires some bleeding edge research algorithm).

It's like seeing someone write their own argument-parsing code. Holy shit, what a bad idea. Never (!) do that.
Assuming there was ever any useful evidence on it.

If you need some morale boosting, come talk to me about conference paper rejections (I can't speak publicly of this). I can tell you of at least three separate best paper award winning papers at the absolute top conferences where the drafts spent 1+ years in various rejection bins.
On a downer note, this is so overdue that I'm wondering why now instead of ten years ago.
What about Crystal? It has quite extensive type inference.

Agree with you there.

???

In a market economy, wealth accrues to those who solve people's problems the best.

It is only through business-government collusion that you skew the market toward cronies and incumbents.

In theory. But it doesn't really work that way. Hence, the estate tax.
I don't see any evidence that those people are a sufficiently random sample of users vs. Trek nerds who explicitly search for the obscure reference. I'm sure I could find some obscure mathematical reference that 7000 math nerds discuss but is completely unknown by the remaining 99.9999% of the population.
Does anyone know how Apple's lzfse [0] compares to some of these other compression algos?

>Beginning with iOS 9 and OSX 10.11 El Capitan, we provide Apple’s proprietary compression algorithm, LZFSE. LZFSE is a new algorithm, matching the compression ratio of ZLIB level 5, but with much higher energy efficiency and speed (between 2x and 3x) for both encode and decode operations.

I'm interested because of the low energy characteristics...

Apologize, didn't mean to come across that way. Edited comment slightly to reflect that
This law applies to all email communications, including those between U.S. persons. The article you linked to talks about incidental data about U.S. persons collected by means other than "from a wire on American soil." Specifically, the NSA collection extends to:

It's not the lack of specific numbers that I find the most disreputable, it's truth-bending statements like "Merchant cash advances do not have an interest rate."

Pleasing the Masses: How startup Jimmyjane took vibrators from sleazy to chic
> Crunchyroll has quite a bit of non-anime content to offer

Yeah, they have a drama-only section that even then is 80% Korean (nothing wrong with that, just I'm not personally studying Korean.) And no option to turn off the English subtitles unless I want to watch movies on my computer instead of my TV. And absolutely, definitely, 100% never any offer for Japanese subtitles (closed captioning.) Very, very rare even on Netflix Japan, but it helps so much when I can find them.

> The oddest thing for me are the constantly blocked Japanese music videos on Youtube.

Yeah ... I don't understand that at all. Of all the countries, Japan seems to have the most obscenely strict copyright takedown enforcements of all. I pretty much always have to resort to torrents to obtain songs even remotely popular.

Japan really is a country that's stuck in the '90s. No surprise that also includes their views on music.

> Why is a music video blocked outside of Japan, when you can buy the song via the regional iTunes store?

I'm surprised they even let you buy it on iTunes. Apple must be forcing their hand somehow.

I've always dealt with extreme aversion to selling to me. The Japanese famously hate selling their wares internationally. It's pretty much a given that anything on Yahoo! Japan will be from sellers that refuse to ship internationally, so you have to use deputy services and pay them an extra 30% markup (plus a predatory and unfair yen exchange rate that's off by 15+ yen from the real market value.) And even then, there are sellers that track deputy IDs and will delete deputy bids. I've even come across one such seller, and my deputy of choice used one of their 'hidden' IDs to pick it up anyway. They're so used to it that they already had sleeper accounts for dealing with such sellers, despite having 100% perfect payment histories to sellers.

There are several major doujinshi websites for buying from artists, and these sites are 100% perfectly capable of accepting Visa cards from anywhere in the world ("it's everywhere you want to be... unless you want to be in Japan"), yet they block you anyway.

It was only just very recently that Amazon finally started selling new Japanese games internationally. Before then, I was paying 50% markups to small, sleazy extortionist companies. On top of having to buy Japanese systems to get around their region blocking attempts. Half surprised the fuckers don't try to use GPS to pinpoint you're not actually in Japan while playing their precious games.

Apologies if I seem bitter... it's because I am. I probably wasted $2000 on deputy fees alone trying to build a game collection and buy other items I like. And the harder I try to practice and learn this language, the more I get taken for a ride.

I live in Canada and I read the newspapers almost daily. Canadian school shootings are rare, rare enough to be reported coast to coast when they happen. I know of only one this year, in the north.
The US truly has more than 10X the number of shootings, as documented in the movie Bowling for Columbine. (and other places) This difference is due to a different gun culture. (I would guess the rape cultures are equal)
I don't want to pick on any individual response, but the amount of close-minded - and arrogant - replies on this thread is pretty sad. The OP has many valid points. I've interviewed hundreds of candidates - some well, some not so well - and been interviewed many times. I've had four offers in my last five interviews, so I'm not bitter about the process, but I do think most interview processes are far more amateurish than the people they're trying to weed out.

Interviewing should be about finding a fit between a worker and work that needs to be done. The best predictor of that is past success doing similar work. It's not about imitating Google's process, and except in increasingly rare situations, it has very little to do with academic computer science.

And there is never a need to treat anyone rudely. So don't.
Absolutely it's nothing new, it's just a case of the scale of the problem being larger than ever. IO speed increases haven't kept up with floating operation performance of processors. If you're performing operations on a large, distributed dataset it's easier than ever to have your processor be data starved. Of course, that's why any decent HPC system will include high speed local data stores such as an SSD and plenty of RAM. That's why cache size on these processors is important. That's why systems are more heterogeneous than ever.

I feel like some writers in HPC (ironically) miss the free lunch of faster and faster systems with not much extra effort. With more complexity in your supercomputer comes more power and more difficulty in writing software. That's unavoidable.
I guess it depends on who the intended audience is - I doubt too many people who follow Oculus' developer blog weren't immediately picturing all of the flaws he describes while reading that. I'm only a dilettante in 3D VR, but I didn't need any images/videos to understand exactly what he was describing. I suspect Carmack was going for information density for people who'd understand here, rather than "3D VR games dev errors 101 for beginners", and he's pretty good at writing for his audience.
Is there any sort of path to holding the FBI responsible for aiding and abetting a criminal organization, or even working with domestic terrorists? I imagine that's what I'd be labeled by the FBI if I hacked someone's phone (or many peoples' phones) with this exploit.

[0] < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting >

> Overfitting generally occurs when a model is excessively complex, such as having too many parameters relative to the number of observations. A model that has been overfit will generally have poor predictive performance, as it can exaggerate minor fluctuations in the data.

[1] < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalization_error#Relation_... >

> The concepts of generalization error and overfitting are closely related. Overfitting occurs when the learned function f_S becomes sensitive to the noise in the sample. As a result, the function will perform well on the training set but not perform well on other data from the joint probability distribution of x and y. Thus, the more overfitting occurs, the larger the generalization error.

Measured by the amount of labour required to live a comfortable life?

How do you define a "comfortable life"? I'm thinking the goal posts are constantly moving and that's why people think things were better back in the 1970's. Not blaming anyone for it, it's the human condition to always want things to be better.

Let's see:
1940's - WW2, America is just coming out of a 15 year recession
1950's - Constant threat of nuclear war, Korean War, economically things are looking up
1960's - Numerous race riots, economy is still doing relatively well
1970's - Rampant inflation, rather stagflation, gas shortages

I've asked my family (older generations) and they agree things are way better now. And they aren't what you'd even call middle class.
Good point. But choose the wrong hardware and you can never have provably correct software. E.g., the Intel x86 ISA makes all x86 processors impossible to prove correct. (there are 2^120 possible instruction encodings - the universe will die heat death before anyone could verify all of them in an implementation http://www.emulators.com/docs/nx06_rmw.htm )
forces them to spend more of your tax dollars creating a parallel case.

Let's replace CONSERVATIVES by WHITES in your statement. You tell me if you generalized.

"WSJ has a target on Elon Musk's back. Every week they post something negative about him or his companies. I have a couple of WHITE friends who have an irrational hatred for Elon. They rail how everything Elon Musk does is a "scam". The WSJ comments are a reflection of that mindset. More broadly, I wonder why WSJ and some WHITES set a target on Elon. There are literally a gazillion subsidies, tax credits, offshore accounting going around. For example, Hollywood shoots their movies wherever they get tax credits. Texas has attracted large back office operations using tax credits. Data center locations are chosen based upon which state government throws in the most benefits. It seems odd that they would spent so much energy on Musk, whose subsidies are probably a rounding error. It makes me wonder if there are bigger things at stake. Are the WSJ overlords really scared that he is making material changes to energy and transportation that could hurt them ?"
It started out awesome but recently I've had:

1) I can't see estimated time but lots of cars around. I then book and it estimates > 12min wait time. If I cancel, it charges me $2 anyway because reasons.
2) a number of drivers cancel after 10 min of waiting - this happened 3x in a row a few weeks ago so I finally got a car after 40 min.
...

Friends with similar experiences...
You could do this with an emulator I'm sure. At my company we have fairly high-fidelity models of the hardware we use/develop which could probably include on-chip peripherals in the things fuzzed. Also I guess in irradiated environments you use very simple hardware (no caches, MMUs, complex memory bus/controller) so that would make it more feasible. Would probably be really fun to develop!

Edit: if you had the resources maybe you could even fuzz simulations of the RTL. Our systems take about a week to boot Linux on simulations but I guess that would drop dramatically for simpler MCU systems.
I'd say that VPs of engineering and CTOs have what I described in mind, but the execution faulters.
I see cops using their phones and laptops while driving as much as I see anyone else do it. Will they exempt themselves? Or will they be required to submit their phone to the textalyzer at the end of each shift?
Totally disagree. We’re sitting at almost zero percent interest rates because the fed can’t take their foot off the pedal. More isn’t going to help bring back the middle class. Volker broke the stagflation of the 70s and is probably the only decent chairman. Bad trade deals, runaway education and health costs, regressive taxes, foreign wars, etc. have done more to decimate the middle class than interest rates being too high. If anything, the fed has helped accelerate / fund much of this mess with ridiculously low interest rates for decades. Certainly it will hurt when rates go up, but it hurts to pay off your credit cards too. Cheap money funds malinvestment, flows to the politically connected, and aggravates income inequality. It’s just tough to notice. You may get a raise at work but don’t realize the bosses mansion/stock just appreciated 100 times more than your raise. You feel good but your ability to purchase things decreased.
Apply HN: Notisha – Microlearning for Faith-Based Communities
Notisha is a microlearning platform for faith-based communities.

Here's our demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4IxzMP4pSI).

PROBLEM

1. Most believers have a very shallow understanding of what they believe in.

2. It's very hard to find high quality, structured and spiritually nourishing content that can be consumed in between our busy schedules on a daily basis.

SOLUTION

We are creating a platform where a believer will be able to select up to 5 topics to learn from every day from different spiritual leaders/teachers. The content is packaged in bite sized chunks as text or less than 5 minute video tips/tutorials. We are starting with the marriage and relationships topic.

HOW WE MAKE MONEY

The first 2 teachings of the day are free, the next 3 are available on subscription.

STAGE

We are currently in the prototyping phase but will be releasing a mobile app within the next 7 days. Here's the apk (http://bit.ly/1SR0kPJ) for the current build.

We'd love to hear from you on what you think about it.
A lot of the time people don't understand how expensive software is to develop.

In the 113th Congress, it looks like the House of Representatives had 95 unanimous votes, where unanimous is defined as having zero no votes and at least one yes vote. This is out of 1204 votes, based on a quick little script I whipped up.

You can look at the raw data pretty easily thanks to https://www.govtrack.us/developers/data

rsync -avz --delete --delete-excluded --exclude **/text-versions/ govtrack.us::govtrackdata/congress/113/votes .
for file in votes/*/h*/data.json; do
noes=$(jq '(.votes.Nay | length) + (.votes.No | length)' $file;)
yeses=$(jq '(.votes.Yea | length) + (.votes.Aye | length)' $file;)
if [[ "$yeses" -gt 0 && "$noes" -eq 0 ]]
then
echo $file : "No: $noes" "Yes: $yeses"
fi
done | wc -l

In the senate, the number is 87. (The code for the senate is basically the same, except you do

If the companies are creating products that do health/environmental damage that the taxpayers have to fix, how is it silly?

A few reasons why it's silly. You can't accurately measure it, so it's a somewhat useless metric. Also, everything is interdependent if you look at it that way.

Rich people are being subsidized by landlords due to rent control!

Alcohol companies are being subsidized because they don't pay for crashes caused by drunk drivers.

It goes on and on and it doesn't add much value.
This, thats exactly what I think. We as an industry are so confused about what we do that it's starting to become a real problem. Engineering is very different from science and many companies are interviewing as if hiring a scientist, for what is essentially an engineering role, and when they get someone that can crack algos left and right, but can't code in real life situations, they wonder WTF?

In practice, undefined behavior is unpredictable because compiler does optimization with the assumption that you do not have undefined behavior. When you do have them, the optimization won't preserve the "as-if" rule.

The same applies to Java/C# when data race is present. The JIT must be generating optimized codes assuming that no data race occurs, because it is impossible to detect or correct them (at least in current implementation). When you do have data race, the bugs will be as subtle and Schrödinger's as if data race occurs in a C program.
I have a preference for riot over vie because the templating is much nicer.

There is always a valid way. And by valid i mean a way that although may seem unlikely cannot be directly falsified. Alot of deniers say the sun is getting hotter and there is even data supporting this theory.
When you write custom memory allocator, you request memory with `malloc` or `mmap` first. The return value of those functions are raw storage, not objects with dynamic type of character array. Neither is the return value of you custom `allocate`. Strict aliasing rule does not apply.
My point being, if you can be made to agree to submit to a breathalyzer when driving before you get a license, why can't you be made to agree to submit to this text-analyzer when driving before you get a license? I'm not saying this would be a good thing, but they seem very similar to me.
