Sure, some Internet guy summarily dismissing a philosopher whose oeuvre spans decades and who is widely recognized and admired. That must be all there is to it.

I know next to nothing about philosophy, bur I've just looked up what Will Durant has to say at the very end of the subchapter "Criticism" about Bergson:

"Yet, of all contemporary contributions to philosophy, Bergson's is the most precious. We needed his emphasis on the elusive contingency of things, and the remoulding activity of mind. We were near to thinking of the world as a finished and pre-determined show, in which our initiative was self-delusion, and our efforts a devilish humor of the gods; after Bergson we come to see the world as a stage and the material of our own originative powers. Before him we were cogs and wheels in a vast and dead machine; now, if we wish it, we can help to write our own parts in the drama of creation."

On paper, the Fastra II would still be a fair bit faster, and would have more RAM. However. in a standoff, I'd put my money on the 1080 simply because of the overhead of wrangling all those GPUs to work together.
There also fairly recent GCN3 ISA from 2015 available that shed light on their modern hardware architecture.
What? Have you even read the documentation or actually used .NET Core?

Filters are still there and even better now. There's no need for web.config because there's project.json which does everything you need. Code based configuration is great, especially for a statically typed language. You can still load things dynamically if you want, like you always could in .NET code.

You just listed changes in the framework as if they were bad without actually giving any reasons - or even being accurate.
I read somewhere that a 2 liter soda bottle uses as much plastic as 20 ounce bottle, caps included on both, and the time and energy expenditure to actually manufacture then fill the bottle is the same on either.

When dang pointed out how asking for upvotes is against HN policies, the argument Maciej put forward was - "Hey. If I knew about this, do you think I would have done it?". Really? "ignorantia juris non excusat". This is nothing but high level of arrogance and unprofessionalism.

That is awesome!

It is not surprising that Noah's desire to program comes from his desire to make games. That's where I got my start, with QBASIC ~20 years ago.

Before that, I remember wanting to take a Entenmann's Donut box and put action figures on sticks to make my own analog fighting game.

How many of you got into programming because of a desire to make games?

Sadly, regrettably, insufficient. You've just, finally, made good on the original terms; you haven't dealt with the insults thrown at Maciej's character. I would hope that you would have realized that was necessary too.

I didn't mean to imply that I'm unsympathetic toward the homeless--read my question again, I tried to be as clear as I can that I just need an explanation for the job thing. It's become more clear to me with other answers.

Of course I understand how tough it is, lack of privilege, lack of reliable family and friends and resources. I don't ignore homelessness. Like the OP of this thread, I live in Chicago, downtown. My short daily walk to work (4 blocks) generally has 4 homeless people on it, one in a wheelchair missing a leg. This is why I've been thinking about their situation more these days, what we can do, and how they ended up this way.
Clearly some jobs at the org require security clearances, but most don't, and access to career growth isn't gated on that at all.

Look up the forbes article from 2013 about the CEO Alex Karp (can't link easily due to adblocker BS) entitled "How A 'Deviant' Philosopher Built Palantir", and tell me again with a straight face that you'd be worried about this.
I really love working with Atom and almost completely switched from sublime text.

One problem I ran into lately quite often is that there seem to be shared resources with Chrome/Chromium on Ubuntu 14.04. Sometimes Chrome plugins and Atom crash at the same time and I know of another Ubuntu installation where Chrome and Atom are having weird graphic glitches which render the computer unable to work with.
This is a great answer, and something I'd never thought of.
Apple’s Plan to Sell Used iPhones in India Was Rejected
1) Free Education

The Saudi's have a recently reformed education system, complete with a freshly built full-fledged research university: King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST.)

KAUST has a more Western model of education, instruction in English, American and European faculty, partnerships with multiple Ivy League institutions. The current President of KAUST is Jean-Lou Chameau, who was previously the president of Caltech.

Perhaps most significantly, the university is granted greater freedom of speech and thought than probably anywhere else in Saudi Arabia. Saudi royalists politically protect the University, while the campus's isolated location prevents random acts of "law enforcement" by the religious police.

KAUST has an endowment of $20 Billion USD, which puts it in the same league monetarily with H/Y/P and is about twice the endowment of Oxbridge.

So the Saudis are investing in the right things in advanced education at least: alternative energy, desalinization technology, chemical engineering...

They're also building a series of new model commercial cities along the coast where they will attempt the same thing on a city-state scale. The religious rules will be less strictly enforced in these model cities, but far more importantly (for commerce), they will have independent judiciaries (still based on sharia fiqh law), but with written standardized laws of contract (uncertain contracts have put a strain on the Saudi economy.) They're also considering relaxing the onerous permitting regulations required to start a business.

It seems like the Saudis' want to have their cake, and eat it too. On the one hand, they want the benefits of Western higher education and economic systems. But on the other, they want to maintain a fundamentalist religious monarchy.

I cannot really see that being successful. The academic freedom needed to conduct meaningful research is diametrically opposed to the restrictions on thought and expression in a repressive theocracy.
I wasn't sure what Sketch was before I clicked this, and neither the site nor the video explained anything about what Sketch actually is. I eventually googled it and found the answer though.
I'm in kind of an odd position, because I worked there for many years with no CS degree at all and I was a lot older than most (not all). They do hire people who are great at CS things, and that often translates into mostly people from higher tier CS programs, but the filter that is applied during hiring is not that. "If you can do the job, we don't care what's on your resume. If you can't do the job... we don't care what's on your resume."
Is there any documentation for this?

For example is "securityStamp" in User.sql designed to store the salt? Or is it something else entirely? There's security stamps in other frameworks which are just unique values (e.g. UIDs) which just change when a user's password changes so you can invalid old cookies without storing the hash within the cookie.

If there is no salt support at all then this is inappropriate in 2016 as boilerplate.
1) A lot of Ubuntu (really Debian's) packages are ancient software that nobody uses. That being said, some packages are not, and there is usually a bit of effort needed to get them to work. OTOH NixOS is still growing, whereas Debian is declining (Ubuntu might pick up the slack, but it's not clear)

2) Most third-party software is indeed broken out-of-the-box on NixOS; but patchelf and fhsuserenv have been developed so that it can run regardless (there's steam, flash, adobe reader... all patched to work. Running a .deb is as hard as specifying all of its dependencies).
I may have perpetrated things like this. (20GB working set for a recommender? No problem.)

Rails has really stepped up their game after Rails 3; really nailing down the API and conventions. Upgrades are much easier now (Moved from Rails 4.2 to Rails 5 in an short afternoon).

Just definitely keep up with the minor releases; but the major releases will stay in good standing for a while too! Lock down all your gem versions and only update as needed; so if they ever break on a move to the next major version - you can act accordingly.
99.9% of Alex Holden’s Database Entries Are Invalid
Your table naming convention needs work...

User model -> User table
Role model -> UserRole table
UserRole model -> UserUserRole table

If you consider that User is the module, then your User table should be called UserUser if you want to be consistent.

But that's silly.

Calling your module Auth would be better. Then the table names don't contain RepeatedRepeated parts.

Or even better, don't use the module name in the table name. It's pretty clear what User, Role and UserRole mean just on their own.

And since you're considering using SQLite as the DB, your system will (hopefully) be small enough not to worry about naming collisions, so why bother with module scoping the tables at all?

If ServiceStack is great and useful, then it should be ported to .Net Core. I'd recommend doing that sooner rather than later.
Google has changed their way of doing things a lot over the years many parts have been moved over to Google play so that they can be updated separately. They have also released Android N to oems so that the oems can start working on porting it a lot earlier.
The problem is that oem sell hardware so have little incentives to keep updating the older devices. Although another change is starting in Oem where the number of different hardware versions produced are being brought down. Although Samsung is the biggest oem for Android and they have the worst system.
Samsung to me has the power to release the same phone for all carriers and regions and also stop carriers putting bloat on the device like Apple does.
I suppose ther person at hand and many others had things happen so unexpectedly and quickly that he might not have had time to mobilize all these requirements for a job.

It bothers me that a handful of these problems seem possible to be easily solved with very little tax money. A place to send checks/ids (free PO boxes with an address for the homeless) a place to help get documentation and stuff...

Do shelters provide basic makings for a shower and shave?

Even internet access with available hardware, since it's more and more possible to do everything on the internet, would be reasonable.
While I haven't moved into production yet; nothing broke when I migrated my Rails 4.2 application - just had to tweak the few things to new conventions.
Well, I've had my account for over 2500 days, and my karma only yesterday broke 1000. But I read HN daily, and feel part of this community.

I just only comment when I feel like I can add something to the conversation, and always pause before commenting (stops me from getting into flame wars)

So age of account should have some say, or at least if they can see how often you read and vote for stories and comments here.
I almost want to say thay this is an unfair comparison but that would also be unfair.

Nothing matches PHP adoption. It started 10 years before than Ruby and Python web frameworks and its runtime model is ideal for free hosting. That gave it mindshare and market share. It's still one of the ugliest languages even if it's slowly getting a face lift.

At the time its competitors where Java and Perl. Perl could have the same runtime model and was the first language for the web thanks to CGI.pm. PHP won because its simplicity and the commands embedded in the HTML page. Java is another world and only suited to corporate developers especially because there could be hardly a free Java hosting. Any of them now, not counting the AWS Lambda free tier?
I'm surprised that Microsoft chose to go with an ecosystem that is as volatile as nodejs. By the time you read this post npm, gulp and bower will be obsolete. Grunt is already ancient news.
Yeah that's the incredible thing about Rails. It's just so fricking fast to set up a project. I kinda feel like it's going out of fashion - being eclipsed by Node mostly -and that sucks because I've never found another framework that is as simple and quick to work with.
1080 should be a bit faster than a single 980Ti or as fast as an overclocked 980Ti which would put it pretty much at 980 SLI performance.
Interesting.

First there was /bin for the things that UNIX provided and /usr/bin for the things that users provided. Part of the system, it lived in /bin, optional? it lives in /usr/bin.

In SunOS 4 (and BSD 4.2 as I recall) the introduction of shared libraries meant you needed a "core" set of binaries for bootstrap and recovery which were not dynamically linked, and so "static" bin or /sbin (and its user equivalent /usr/sbin) came into existence. Same rules for lib. /lib for the system tools, /usr/lib for the optional user supplied stuff.

Then networking joined the mix and often you wanted to mount a common set of things from a network file server (saved on precious disk space) but there were things you wanted locally, that gave use /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib. Then in the great BSD <==> SVR3.2 merge AT&T insisted on everything optional being in /opt which had a kind of logic to it. Mostly about making packages that could be installed without risking system permission escapes.

When Linux started getting traction it was kind of silly that they copied the /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin stuff since your computer and you are the only "user" (usually) so why not put everything in the same place, (good enough for Windows right?)

File system naming was made more important by the limited permission controls on files, user, group, and other is pretty simplistic. ACLs "fixed" that limitation but the naming conventions were baked into people fingers.

The proliferation of places to keep your binaries lead to amazingly convoluted search paths. And with shared libraries and shared library search paths even more security vulnerabilities.
I am just curious (and a total machine learning novice). If you were to experiment with ML, what are the benefits to getting a fast consumer card like this or use something like AWS GPU instances (or some other cloud provider) ?
Or phrased differently: When does it make sense to move from a local GPU to the Cloud and vice versa ?
I completely agree. I missed most of this "event" but the very idea that Pinboard was involved in any way, shape or form just doesn't make sense at all. It seems very not-in-the-spirit of things and it was very obvious from the start (so Maciej knew he was not acting in good faith).

In my opinion of course but you are not alone.

I think that information disseminating over twenty years isn't evidence of "sophisticated communication networks".

This article feels like the author is taking a few examples of Native Americans communicating, and then making no attempt to get from there to her conclusion that Natives had advanced communcation networks.
I've been running it in production since the first days of the year with a small new application. No problems whatsoever writing, testing, deploying and running it. I don't expect particular problems upgrading Rails 4.2 applications.

I didn't use ActionCable because my application doesn't need it. I experimented with it since the first version, which I plugged into Rails 4.2. It had some quirks that were fixed. It works well. There is obviously code to write in the client to handle the websocket but it's pretty much standard boilerplate. I expect some gem will appear implementing it in some clever helper, except the code we really have to write.
> this awful company.

Microsoft is doing a lot of good things too recently. And for that matter they've always done a lot of good things. Remember how much they've contributed to the early days of personal computing. They're a reasonable company at worst now.

Remember that Microsoft has many departments for different things. Yeah, their branding is a disaster lately, OneDrive has been really rude to their users, licensing for Windows business/enterprise is ridiculous but, for example, we use .NET at work and those teams have been great to us in helping and providing good services and tools. I really enjoy working with VS pro, and think they're heading in a lot of good directions on the developer front.
I might believe 980s but not 980tis. That would be a feat
AWS would make sense if you don't yet know if your ML algo scales well on a GPU: you can try the hardware without losing much money.

Consumer cards are a good deal if you know your algo works well on GPUs in single (32-bit) floating point and you don't mind dicking around with hardware configurations to save money.
Debian only enforced the fact that if there is a /usr partition, it should be mounted by the initramfs. Moreover, the advanced partition scheme in debian-installer doesn't propose a separate /usr anymore. /usr can still be a separate partition and the split between /usr and /usr/bin still exists unless you install the usrmerge package.
And, interestingly, HomeBrew uses /usr/local "because Apple left it for us when they abandoned this whole mess" ..
I think it is happening unconsciously. Like say Chertoff named his naked-airport-scanner company Rapiscan. I think on some level they do it because they can, and that serves as a signal -- we are so awesome we can even use a name like that and still be successful.

Well, something like that is happening in germany. Everyone want to live in the cities. Literally paying any price for rent. And then complain about the price. Soon or later they will there own undoing not be able to pay the rent anymore and moving out.

I live outside the city so I don't pay insane rents. While I watch to blow that over.

I say no problem with that. It is there fault. They don't need to live there and, especially pay any rent which is way too high.

I'm a relative novice also, but we have run an EC2 8 way GPU instance. Basically the GPUs are a bit slower and they only have 4 GB of ram. Also getting everything set up and uploading a data set is tedious. Costs weren't too bad. I could see AWS being used for training smaller problems and learning. If you have a serious project it probably won't fit the bill.
I'm not biting that bait, sorry.

You've already made the point that my opinion is a popular one. To wit, I find it amusing that the Google autocomplete for "Objective C syntax" is "horrible."
You have it reversed. The advantage of the median (50th percentile) is that a few outliers at the high end won't skew the data. To move the median, you have to move half of the distribution.

McKinsey flew me and a few other fresh grads to Dubai for a week because I was helping run the entrepreneurs society. 5* hotel, mock case study for 1/3 of the time and the rest tourism.

It was a holiday for the McKinsey guys running that thing as well, they appreciated being paid to go waterskiing and BBQing on the beach. For me it was luxury unlike anything I experienced until then - the rooms were so big we had to almost shout to be heard across them, and there was a sofa on the balcony! I took home loads of Hermes toiletries and cologne (I didn't have enough money on my bank account for the room deposit, and one of the consultants had to deposit with his card). In fact we even missed our Paris connection to Dubai, so McKinsey sent a consultant over to baby sit us, which meant taking a Mercedes to the Brasserie La Coupole for an epic feast followed by a night in a neighbouring 5* (I think in the Tour Montparnasse).

Unfortunately, I did not graduate with high enough grades (2.2 on the BA, cutoff was 2.1) for McKinsey, which is why they rejected me the first time. So by the third time they tried to headhunt me, I just told them upfront that their system/HR would reject me because of my grades and it was not worth our time continuing the discussion. They insisted, and it happened as predicted, making me wonder why they still care about that for more senior hires.

There was also a period of time in my life where I accepted conference speaking slots if the hotel was nice enough and close enough to my home. Can't resist a proper 5* hotel lunch buffet, especially if they have giant prawns and olive-roast beef and a decent beer on tap. I made my talks increasingly ridiculous, I think by the end I was explaining Starcraft cheese to middle-aged CTOs and quoting Delta Force founder Col. Charlie Beckwith before following up with droid-driven tractors (all relevant to ML in e-commerce, I promise). They loved it, got voted "best talk of the conference" a couple of times, not hard when 90% of the other talks were "so here's the 3Vs of Big Data" verbatim copied from Wikipedia.
Not sure what the conclusion is supposed to be here.
