I am not a fan of clickbait content written to meet quotas, but this article strikes me as a bitter employee spewing up on their former employer.
That is exactly my point.If the 0.01% had to line up for 3 hours like the rest of us then something would be done.
Agreed. I'll go back to the Flint, MI situation and suggest that if they include a water test as a feature, there could be considerable demand for this. Yeah, there are at-home tests, so they'll need to be better than that in some way, but I do think people want to know if their (water|air|food|etc) is safe or not. And now we know we can't just blindly trust the State, on things like water quality.
"It's easy to criticize when you've never worked on the kind of infrastructure that Gluster has. "

It's easy to critize if I've ever done one essay, research paper, marketing piece, commercial project... many things where I took the time to document and explain what I was presenting. Often in an ad hoc was as it was a secondary focus. I don't have to work on a specific product to understand a common skill or requirement.

"Here's the fantastically informative website for the Linux kernel."

"based only on what I can get by clicking around on kernel.org? I could come up with similar examples for many features on Apache or Mozilla or OpenStack projects as well. "

You cite an example from a group that famously doesn't give a damn what people think which also expect people to know what their project is already. Also an outlier in general. Then some others whose sites at least explain what they do with key features. Unlike Gluster. You grasped at straws more than I expected.

"Hey look, that's exactly how it happened when this was part of a project I was doing myself."

You did exactly what I'm asking them to do. More actually. Your site supports my position albeit half the links in the paper/slides set didn't work. Maybe it's NoScript but one or two told me what I needed to know. How about some examples of how easy it is on big, collaborative projects:

https://www.freebsd.org/about.html

http://www.xtreemfs.org/all_features.php

http://toolkit.globus.org/toolkit/about.html

https://owncloud.org/features/

(OwnCloud since the OP blog post mentioned it as a competitor.)

"But none of that has anything to do with the original point. "

Your original point was that the author should've been responsible enough to do research, identify key features of Gluster, and consider them before making claims in the post. You also argued against Gluster site author(s) needing to be responsible enough to identify the key features and list them on the website for people like author doing research. You then made excuses for them despite that being quite easy and considered good practice. So, I'm addressing both the poor research by Infinit author and poor docs by Gluster that contributes to it, along with your double standard on the topic. I'm adding counter-examples to sites in and outside their domain with varying organizations and team sizes to show how they could improve.

Had they had good materials to draw on, I'd have never argued with your claim that author should've known what features they do or don't have. Or maybe if you slammed them for irresponsibility as you did the author. Seemed to be a bias, though, along with OSS documentation problem worth noting.

Micropayments would be ideal. I'd be willing to pay $0.25 each time I wanted to read a WSJ article. I'd probably grumble that it "should" cost $0.05, but I'd pay anyway.
I did suggest that we need to get the powerful to line up, not congressmen and senators. If the members of the 0.01% had to line up for 3 hour to get on their private jets you can be sure that something would be done.

I'm sorry, but you are just wrong. The relevant US code is at https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/49/46505 -- it's been in place since the 50's. Security screening to detect weapons has been in place since the early 1970's, after a rash of hijackings in the late 60's. You must be mis-remembering.
Maybe they're deciding how many humans they should spare in the upcoming war.

I imagine the puzzles garner little sympathy.
While this may or may not be true hacker news is particularly susceptible to exercise fads with unconventional scientific explanations.

I think it'd be easier to convince the readership of HN to lose weight and get fit by eating live maggots whilst suspended upside down in a vat of soylent than to just show up to the gym 3x a week.

The most important way to get fit is to show up and do work. The virtues of a programmer (laziness, impatience, hubris), are the opposite of what you need to succeed at physical fitness.
I think this could work. It seems highly unlikely to me, but Apple needs someone like Musk. Steve Jobs, while often called a poser by his detractors, was very good at coordinating teams to accomplish his vision. Elon Musk strikes me the same way.
Visitor's log book – It’s time that I retired
I don't know why you did not have to - in a legal sense - care about the location of the customer before. Selling something to an EU citizen in a state different from the state your business is established in meant that you were doing business in that state, hence you were supposed to register at their tax office and file and pay VAT on behalf of your customers.

That was never the case, at least not for any business I've been part of. We've always had to charge VAT to EU customers, whether in our home nation or any other member state, but it was charged at our home nation's rate previously and was counted on our normal VAT return. If you think that policy was incorrect and we should have been registering with every relevant EU member state individually, all I can tell you is that two different accountancy firms, independent tax helplines we had access to, and guidance directly from our national tax authority all seemed to disagree with you at various points prior to the recent changes.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm only talking about the B2C sales here. B2B has always worked differently, and there are separate mechanisms for reporting cross-border B2B sales within the EU and dealing with the associated VAT.

Also for the avoidance of doubt, we're in the EU (the UK, specifically). The rules for businesses based in EU member states are somewhat different to the rules for those outside.
Just as a point of reference, Android has a feature by which you can register locations at which a PIN is not required. I've registered my home (which is not super secure, since GPS resolution means it works anywhere in my apartment building), and I have to input the PIN every morning because the interval resets every 4 hours.
I think the difference is that you /knowingly/ (to an extent) sell your app to Brazil. If you sell your art depicting, say, women in power to Saudia Arabia to someone here and they move to Saudia Arabia and sell it, it's not your fault. But if you told him it's ok to sell that painting in Saudia Arabia, I would assume you can be held liable.

(Not that I agree with that, but that's what it looks like)
Is it though? I've never run across an MIT grad so maybe the uniformly kickass grammers are hiding further up the curve, but there have certainly been grads of top 10 schools who I naively deferred to (as a junior, self-taught programmer) only to later regret that deference.
Kind of like an arms race then. I sometimes wonder if this is the reason that American vehicles are so much bigger than elsewhere - once a few people have trucks and suv's, it puts pressure on others to buy bigger vehicles (maybe for safety reasons - not because they would otherwise want to).
Ok but when I'm showering up at the gym - is a cold shower better? Will I see better/faster/more lasting results?

Seriously. I shower at the gym pre-work, so I'm usually taking a cool shower as it is, but I hadn't heard of cold showers being a thing before this.
That's a really cool idea. Thanks.
Exactly. I eat pretty healthy, but I like food. Sure, I could starve myself and be miserable. But why do that when exercise solves the problem and it has all sorts of other positive side effects? So I can sit on my butt all day like the people from Wall-E? No thank you.
Security theater, especially since anyone with 1/2 a brain saw what happened in Brussels, and understands that if there actually were any terrorists, the most dangerous part of flying would be the hoard of people packed together in a twisty line waiting to go through security. Frequently either in a contained area, or right next to a public drop-off area. Said theoretical terrorists could just buy an ak47, convert it to full auto, walk into the airport and start spraying bullets into the cluster of people. Or for bonus points, load up a baggage cart with suitcases full of explosives and push them right into the people standing in line. The enclosed area near security at some of the airports would significantly increase the effectiveness, and/or the people escaping would likely trample a few more.

Worse, the general inefficiency of the whole thing pisses me off too. I flew 3 legs on an international trip recently, and had to go through security 4 times even though I either never left the secured area, or in the case of Dallas the international arrival dumps people outside of the terminal rather than into it.

Like really? I'm safe enough to fly a 15 hour leg into the US, but i'm not safe enough to fly a 1/2 hour domestic flight from Dallas to a little town?

two words: "Jobs Program"

Only I wish the result of said jobs program was better infrastructure, even if its just stone bridges on hiking trails ala the WPA/CCC.

Looking forward to it.
When Americans say Europe they usually mean Western Europe, which is not really how the rest of the continent is. For instance in Mediterranean or Balkan people (and kids) are anything but quiet.
$40k in NYC? That's rough.
You are the one not well informed. The STF allowed the process to continue because it doesn't want to interfere with the prerogatives of the congress. But in the STF hearing of 4/14, they decided that the accusations need to be analyzed by the judges for the process to be valid. This means that the supreme court can stop this process to decide on the criminal charges that have been made against president Rousseff when they see fit, and this will certainly happen before the end of the process. Without criminal charges, the impeachment is invalid according to the constitution, it doesn't matter how many votes it had.

I think the idea is that if a large majority of the network is on linode, then shutting down Linode would cause the majority of whoever is left being able to dictate what's canon?

'end to end' is probably an unattainable goal. I'd go for understanding it at some level given some axioms, and gradually dig in to the axioms.

I think it's difficult to create an all encompassing post for that reason. It's a bit like trying to describe how any application protocol works - can you assume knowledge of TCP/IP? Do you just black-box it? etc.

My contact details are in my profile and I'm happy to lend a hand if you think that might be useful.
One word of caution: it's not a coach's own accomplishments or physique which are qualifications, but the results they promote among their athletes.

I've known horribly bad coaches with excellent physiques. And excellent ones who were quite literally paralysed.

> We produce shit studies with small sample sizes and dodgy methodologies all the time. They just don't add to the pool of human knowledge.

They actually do. A crappy study with p=.70 isn't enough to justify changing the standard treatment for a disease but it is enough to justify doing the more comprehensive study to see if the result still holds.

We have a choice between doing ten comprehensive studies only to prove that nine of the things didn't work, or using the same resources to do a hundred crappy studies and then repeat the five with the most promising results using the more robust methodology and discover that three of them still hold.
Vicarious (http://www.vicarious.com) | Union City, CA | Full-time | Onsite

Positions: AI Researcher, Developmental Roboticist, Software Engineer

We are building a unified algorithmic architecture to achieve human-level intelligence in vision, language, and motor control. Currently, we are focused on visual perception problems, like recognition, segmentation, and scene parsing. We are interested in general solutions that work well across multiple sensory domains and tasks.

Using inductive biases drawn from neuroscience, our system requires orders of magnitude less training data than traditional machine learning techniques. Our underlying framework combines advantages of deep architectures and generative probabilistic models. We use modern software engineering practices, and we strive to maintain a codebase and a culture that are a joy to work in.

We have raised ~$70M in funding and are not constrained by publication, grant applications, or product development cycles. At Vicarious, there is room to develop new approaches that would otherwise not be supported in academia or industry.

The Vicarious team leverages progress in machine learning and computer vision communities, and we are always looking for exceptional researchers to join our team.

Interested? Apply at http://careers.vicarious.com/
Services are still there. Command-shift-L Googles the selection, though I don't know how standard this is.
Admittedly, it may not have been clear, but I was referring to social issues. I don't consider the TSA a security issue. That's a work program wrapped up in propaganda.
Very interesting. That is much more sophisticated than what I'm doing. My literal extraction is a simple greedy approach on the AST that only finds prefixes. My "scoring" is just a silly heuristic at this point. I had been doing it on the NFA itself, but found the AST easier to work with.

I think my problem is that I don't know how to take interior literals or suffix literals and apply them to search without provoking worst case quadratic behavior. For example, take the regex `\w+\s+Holmes`. It's easy enough to find `Holmes` and do a fast literal search for it. Then you can match `\w+\s+` in reverse from the start of the literal hit. But whoops, `Holmes` is a substring in the set of all strings described by `\w+\s+`, which means your automaton can start re-scanning input you've already seen. In pathological cases, you get quadratic behavior. (Similar to a poorly written Boyer-Moore implementation.)

I wonder if this gets easier using hyperscan's "all-matches" semantics. I haven't given alternative matching semantics much thought yet.

> We'd love help working on this problem (hey, we're open source) but Building Your Own regex engine seems to be the thing everyone must do. It's probably a lot more fun than trying to grab a tractable bit to work on in a 100+Kloc source base.

Yeah, I started on Rust's regex engine almost 2 years ago. It's been a labor of love.
This discussion reminded me of a formula for calculating the average cost of a cache miss in this pretty cool paper ("An Analysis of the Effects of Miss Clustering
on the Cost of a Cache Miss").

In particular, see Equation 4:

We've seen some really weird ELB behavior in AWS (latency spiking excessively every few hours for seconds at a time, underlying ELB instances having scale down events occur at unexpected times, and so forth), so we use it sparingly for internal microservices.

Running your own HAProxy infrastructure isn't terribly time consuming, but I do devops/infrastructure all day long; I'm biased. If you can and do avoid it, I can understand why.
> SF where transit is decent

Transit is abysmal in San Francisco. Muni is an utter disaster.

The fact that it exists doesn't make it "decent." Cities with decent public transportation include Berlin, Munich, Zurich, Moscow, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Taipei, Portland. Even New York is much better. SF is a far cry from any of those.
Hm, okay, I think we're making progress here though. I've started and continued quite a few controversial conversations that have "harmed" some[1] relationships, but overall I think it's for the better and has improved the relationships I want to improve.

To be clear, I'm aware that "Muslim" is not a race. I believe it's still valid to refer to racism against Muslims in this scenario. I don't believe that the German prejudice was motivated primarily by religious differences. I don't believe that an ethnically-German Muslim would face the same prejudice as, say, an ethnically-Moroccan or Syrian immigrant. I think this comes down to racism more than anything. Xenophobia might be another accurate label. It's not just religious disagreement, though.

I think most of the anti-Muslim rhetoric in the US these days fits into the same bucket. I don't believe most of it is really religious. You've got Donald Trump claiming he loves Israel and Jews and then claiming that Muslims are ruining/attacking America. That's not a case where the issue is religious disagreement or Jews would be as much a target as Muslims.

Again, you could certainly call this xenophobia. I think racism is still pretty accurate, though.

Just because you can bootstrap a computer to run arbitrary programs doesn't mean you're significantly closer to general AI.

Similarly, it's easy to argue that there will be incremental improvements in space technology, but it's very hard to argue that they will snowball into large-scale luxury platforms that can sustain human life indefinitely.
In sociolinguistics there is a concept called complementary schismogenesis that describes a mechanism that can result in exaggerated differences in conversational style. There is tendency for people with different conversational styles to attempt to pull the conversation towards their style, and when multiple participants do this, the differences become increasingly exaggerated.

For instance, if an American who talks slightly louder than average converses with a European, he may start talking even louder to try to get the European to speak up a bit. The European will then talk even quieter to prompt the American to follow. Then the American will get louder, and the cycle will continue.

This is can explain how a minor difference in average actual volume can lead to a major perceived difference.

1. Sketch out what you want the first iteration of the language to look like. Write some example programs in your language.

2. Write a lexer: a program which turns a string of source code in your language into a list of values like "open parenthesis", "plus sign", "if keyword", "identifier". These values are called tokens. To test your lexer, output each token and see if your example programs tokenize properly.

3. Write a parser: a program which turns a list of tokens into a structured representation of your program's source code. For example, "if keyword" "identifier" "equals sign" "number" "then keyword" "print keyword" "identifier" might turn into an IfStatement with a predicate EqualsExpression (that itself has a left IdentifierExpression and a right LiteralNumberExpression) and a list of Statements for the code to run. You can write the parser yourself (look up recursive descent parsing) or use a parser generator tool to do it.

4. Write a code generator: a program which goes through your structured representation and outputs lower-level code (in this case, C) for each expression and statement.

That's because it is a compiler.

No. 1 is a program that accepts input (e.g., RTL, MINIMAL, etc.) and generates asm.

I like to call this an asm code generator. Because today when people say "compiler" they are often referring to a collection of programs, some of which do not generate asm.
