I only see cpu usage on the homepage which should rarely be open for long. The actual docs don't have the same impact, so I think it should be fine as is. Are you seeing something different?
Since it has yet to be mentioned yet, I'll suggest Modern C by Jens Gustadt [1]. The book itself starts from basics and works up, but I found it to be much more reliable and filled with more practical advice than the common K&R recommendation. Section / Level 4 is not quite in it's final form yet; however the book is mostly complete and gives a lot to think about. I suggest working through it, even if you skip the first few levels because of your base knowledge.

TSA's idea: End screening at some airports
Luckily, I don't own a VW, I'm just pointing out how this is a scam. If I were a VW customer, I'd be really pissed. I'm really glad I passed on VWs and bought a Mazda instead.

What's really stupid is that it sounds like they should be able to get the advertised power and economy with the required low emissions simply by using more DEF. I'm assuming the DEF liquid isn't too expensive here, but if they just made it so you needed to refill it every 1000 miles, that should solve the problem. Heck, why can't they just make it available at gas stations too?

Having this idiotic notion that only dealers should be able to refill the stuff, and that it needs to be done at 10k intervals, is what's making it impossible.

Why not require that cars must be able to carry enough fuel to drive 10,000 miles while they're at it? It makes as much sense.

I think you missed the insinuation at the end of the article:

4. The CEO faked the entire story (perhaps using Bob or Rovion or both as patsies-- or perhaps taking the money for himself) because the same money-stealing "we learned our lesson" thing happened at Paypal, and Paypal became hugely successful shortly afterward.
My reasoning? Because it's good to respect the privacy and choices of your users. Homebrew never called home to Google in the past, most people would not reasonably expect it to suddenly start doing so without letting them know.
Writing the first examples in a more idiomatic style would better demonstrate the timing differences. The list construction isn't really noticeable at that size.

def generate(num):
for i in xrange(num):
yield random.randrange(10)

def create_list(num):
return [random.randrange(10) for i in xrange(num)]

Also worth noting that functional programming in Python (e.g. inlining loops) is often faster.

from future_builtins import map
import itertools

def generate(num):
return map(random.randrange, itertools.repeat(10, num))

If it means that much to you, why not add host file entries to point GA's DNS records at 0.0.0.0 or something else invalid? If you don't trust that either, supplement it with packet filter rules to drop traffic heading to the IP addresses to which those names (currently) resolve. Switching platforms seems like a major overreaction here.
Compared to, say, Russia, Americans are correct to believe they live in a free society. These things are relative.
And, yet, most high density cities also have a huge amount of automobile traffic in addition to whatever public transportation they have. (Although, depending upon the city, a significant portion of that auto traffic is cabs--in part because of the expense/difficulty of parking.)
I can understand Trump's acolytes being banned considering their recent slap fight with /r/Sweden. The folks that run /r/The_Donald have shown they're not good folks in general, so having jerk mods in /r/politics ban them is amusing at least for me since these are the same dorks that thought writing IRC scripts to spam racist epitaphs made them "hackers."

So just build taller buildings in a small area like Manhattan, there is plenty of space up there, it is cheaper that way and no need for roads and automobiles to move from one floor to another.

Living in a city is more humanistic anyway because there are more humans around you. There is no reason not to grow food in the sky-scrapers too. The only reason it is not done more is the zoning laws, which should be changed.

Hmm, that's interesting. We never did 25 and went to 40 and 100. Well, 10 for normal hosts, 40 for top of rack switches and heavy i/o hosts, and 100 and beyond for future TOR and aggregate switches.
Remember when everyone switched to Homebrew because Fink/macports were "antiquated", a.k.a. not written in Ruby?

What Do the Girl Scouts Have in Common with Tech Evaluations?
Proforma results aren't necessarily bad, they are the company trying to show themselves in the best possible light. Historically they were used to show how the company was doing ex of one time events( almost exclusively negative events) such as layoffs, lawsuit settlements, divesting/closing money loosing units, etc.

The biggest issue I see is that often the company will clearly spend more time with their proforma results than their GAAP results.

The outcome from this is that often when analyst or data companies try to put together metrics on a company they'll use GAAP results but if a ratio they want isn't present they'll substitute the ratio from the proforma results.

This means many of the data you get on google finance or even Bloomberg is an amalgamation of the two, which leads to garbage in-garbage out.

Side note: if you can clean data, you'll have a job for life!!!

Tech companies tend to be big users of pro forma results. Facebook famously turned a $700 million loss (GAAP) in 2012 into a $400 profit (Pro forma) by not using Black Scholes to calculate the cost of employee stock options.

Groupon was another poster child for pushing pro forma results vs GAAP results and that turned out about as well as you'd expect. Just google "Groupon pro forma vs GAAP".
> Occam's razor suggests that Rovion, Bob and Voorhees are all the same person.

Occam's razor is a principle which suggests that Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected.

The principle works, because in other words it's saying "A theory must not have unexplained factors".

Considering Voorhees has a lot more money (he might be a bitcoin billionaire at some point, if still not one), his reputation is on line.

Rovion, and Bob being one person is fathomable, but Voorhees being them doesn't make sense.
Towards Generic Ransomware Detection
The difference is, it's a choice to post on a public website. homebrew is a package management tool, there is no expectation that it will send information about you to Google.
I'm thinking a system like:

* A very low friction web site has a button to send your resume to X employers fitting UE's condition, and saves that information to a browser plugin.

* The browser plugin fills out the unemployment website when you log into it.

Could be a safe approach, but it is risky territory and its really hard to find out what the limits of the system are. I think making or using a very low friction job application web site would probably be the best gains for time for the lowest legal risk. It, unlike the browser plugin, would probably be easier to solve for a group of people, because theres not the issue of automating different web sites for different states.

I'm always amused by the way some people try to extend the definition of malware beyond its scope. This isn't malware. It's just anonymous usage tracking. If you don't like it you can turn it off. I hope you don't use a smartphone because the amount of intrinsic "malware" you must be subjected to must be unbearable.

"Malware" is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs. It can take the form of executable code, scripts, active content, and other software.

It's a chroot'd environment. Yeah, you could theoretically crash the underlying kernel, but doing so would probably be pretty difficult. You'd have to give that environment access to things that can crash the kernel on purpose.

Get littlesnitch on Mac and you won't need to rely on third parties alerting about outgoing connections, although I recon the when we're talking about something like homebrew it's not easy to vet every single outgoing connection.

Are binary black-box EMEs going to be the new flash&java-applet of web vulnerabilities?
But then, by which mechanism does Homebrew notify GA that I have opened a terminal tab? There is a curl command executed every time, and I see a connection to GA with Little Snitch.

Statements required by the SEC are not the same as those sent to the IRS.

For example, a company can use straight-line depreciation in their GAAP statements, but use accelerated depreciation for tax purposes. The difference becomes a tax credit on the balance sheet.

The IRS is much less likely to fall for shenanigans than investors.
First of all, this is extremely commonplace. You can go on Pastebin and find dumps like these easily at any given time.

Secondly, the way these leaks work is that attackers take a large list of leaked credentials from a generic dump from a hacked database. They then try each set of credentials against popular services like Netflix and Spotify. Usually, lots of attackers get the same accounts because they all use similar dumps and therefore get similar results. A lot of these lists of valid credentials end up on sites like Pastebin, and many are sold online as well. You can get cheap Netflix accounts for $1 or less easily on many hacker forums. Often, these accounts come with a warranty because many people who have obtained similar lists of accounts will change the credentials so they can keep individual accounts for themselves.

In conclusion, use unique passwords for every site, otherwise this could easily happen to you.

It's amusing that Americans constantly compare themselves to Russia, China and North Korea.

Are you actually proud to compare favorably to them? Is that as high as you want to set the bar? Surely there is little to be gained from continually pointing out you're better than the lowest. Aim higher.

I mean, congrats for being competitive against high school teams, but man, you gotta move up into the big leagues if you are serious.

Go and learn how societies like Switzerland, Norway, Australia and France operate, and compare yourself to them. You will learn something, which will help you improve something. Comparing yourself to the bottom of the list teaches you nothing, which improves nothing
Yeah, no mention of inflation... no explanation of bearer bonds...

I think a big problem of bitcoin is lack of inflation. Terry Pratchett makes the point in Making Money that lack of inflation is stagnating. You tie the entire society to the willingness of people with old money to spend it. Why would we want that?
Works fine for me with a 2m ribbon cable.
For posterity, Homebrew is using curl to talk to Google Analytics. You will have to selectively block curl by destination in Little Snitch (or only allow the various other hosts Homebrew uses).
Juggling systems is goofy but as long as they're web based it's easy, go old school

+customer data folder
++customer name > links to trello,slack go here
+++project name > links to trello etc. go here

then I have a todo.md or todo.txt using imdone-atom with snippits, gives you a text based kanban, you can open project folders with atom --add c:\customers\abc\project1 and alt-t for tasks

also alt-j is journal where you can try to kanban all customers if you're ocd

documentation should not go in a ticket system, it should go in a wiki

my fav is a combo of integrated apps like trello/slack, jira/confluence, github/gitter

tasks are todo/doing/done and done includes closing their ticket system and updating their wiki or whatever they're using like a wiki
Where do you get rent and food while you're earning the masters degree online?
Is there really no reason not to grow foods - is this a researched opinion of yours or just conjecture? The last article posted on HN about the trend of rendering skyscraper designs with greenery noted many of the problems with actually building them (irrigation, water proofing, the ability to support the extra weight of the soil/plants, sunlight/shadows, high winds, etc), I would imagine the problem being even greater if you had to grow edible foods rather than just a green plant.
You can't (quite) choose how you report your profits to the IRS. This is about reporting the company's books to investors.
I use MacPorts[1] which is a good alternative to homebrew. It's an older project.

Lately though, I've came across many packages that are available for Homebrew but not for macports.

> I do not agree with the assessment that Silicon valley startups compete based on better products. In fact, it's quite the opposite. All the popular ones you have heard of have taken large amounts of money and subsidize their products a great amount.

You didn't support your position at all that SV startups do not compete based on better products. That's a very large claim to make without supporting it at all.

Taking on large amounts of venture capital has no inherent correlation such that the product must invert on quality to the amount being raised. If that were the case, Airbnb would be an entirely unusable product, as would Uber. So far those products have functioned extraordinarily well, such that a mass-audience of average users has easily adopted them at warp speed. Uber overtook the entire US taxi industry in three years, if their product wasn't good that would have been impossible.

> If you are a less funded startup, it is impossible to complete in such a scenario. In fact, you absolutely have to get lots of funding first, you have no choice.

You're criticizing Silicon Valley startups for supposedly relying on large amounts of money to compete, then proclaiming that you can't compete without getting tons of funding first. You're outright stating that you can't compete on quality of product alone, then you hold it against Silicon Valley in your theory that companies there refuse to set themselves up for failure by taking on a lot less venture capital.
Thanks for your interest, and hope you like it!

Yes, it is currently incomplete, but I'd say at least 80% of the optimizations are upstreamed already. Also, folks in the LLVM community are actively working on that. For example, Justin Lebar recently pushed http://reviews.llvm.org/D18626 that added the speculative execution pass to -O3.

Regarding performance, one thing worth noting is that missing one optimization does not necessarily cause significant slowdown on the benchmarks you care about. For example, the memory-space alias analysis only noticeably affects one benchmark in the Rodinia benchmark suite.

Regarding your second question, the short answer is no. The Clang/LLVM version uses a different architecture (as mentioned in http://wujingyue.com/docs/gpucc-talk.pdf) from the internal version. The LLVM version offers better functionality and compilation time, and is much easier to maintain and improve in the future. It would cost even more effort to upstream the internal version than to make all optimizations work with the new architecture.
The government is not one entity... DARPA's aligned with the military/battlefield technology, unlike the NSA's vague sigint focus. Heads would roll if there was any kind of backdoor here, because it puts soldier's lives at risk with no justification.
It's funny that "police brutality" entered public discourse right after it became common knowledge that SWAT teams can break into your home unannounced and shoot your dogs without accountability. Never mind that this has been happening for decades to other groups and it ended with dead people and not pets.

> As long as WASP-y suburban white America doesn't feel the pinch. As soon as some unannounced no-knock raid by a SWAT team decked out like it's Fallujah circa '05 busts in and shoots up a bunch of 18-year-old "all-American" kids, prom queens and cheer-leaders and judges' daughters and sons and all. Then and only then will you see a real outcry.

In my area, an upper class and upper middle class region near a large city, a prescription opioid and heroin epidemic has been sweeping up affluent white children. There is a big difference in how drug related offenses are handled now, the consequences are much less severe and many go home uncharged.
I didn't say that this usage of GA is malware, I said that GA, the network, is a malware. So while Homebrew may (or may not) be protecting their users identities while using a malware service, they are still choosing to use a malware service.

Tracking people's online activity through a large percentage of the internet, without their consent or even knowledge qualifies as malicious to me.
But it didn't get really strict until The Controlled Substances Act (1970), which got really crazy in '73 when Nixon basically created the DEA.

In 1973 President Richard Nixon's "Reorganization Plan Number Two" proposed the creation of a single federal agency to enforce federal drug laws and Congress accepted the proposal, as there was concern regarding the growing availability of drugs. As a result, on July 1, 1973, the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) and the Office of Drug Abuse Law Enforcement (ODALE) merged to create the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). On December 1, 1975, the Supreme Court ruled that it was "not cruel or unusual for Ohio to sentence someone to 20 years for having or selling cannabis."

It always blows my mind that literally right after the end of alcohol prohibition (1933), marijuana prohibition began (1937 though lighter than the '70s kind of illegal). Basically historical mistakes repeated within literally years of one another. That second error is still not corrected 40+ years later. Criminalizing drug use is absolutely barbaric and has wreaked more havoc than any drug could on society.
I'd assume "NO_ANALYTICS" would mean "no analytics" not "no google analytics?
In addition to open source drivers, there has been work to reverse engineer the binary formats and write open source assemblers for recent versions of SASS (e.g., https://github.com/NervanaSystems/maxas).
