A Photographic Guide to the Earliest Computers
I would like to point out that compiler explorer is very easy to extend with other toolchains and that Matt Godbolt is a very nice person.

I extended Godbolt's Gcc Explorer adding other toolchains (Motorola 68000 and MIPS, built with crosstools-ng) beside the standard AMD64 one, and released as a Docker image.

I did this because... I had to read and write M68k code for a class, and having GCC generate code for me (with -O0 and the colourisation feature) was the easiest way to get some code to read, besides the very basic examples)

In case you have to work with MIPS or M68K, you can find my "version" here: https://hub.docker.com/r/esantoro/acso-explorer/

IIRC, the bundled gcc is version 4.9.something
That was tried, with the first gen iPhone, and again with the Palm Pre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS

It was awful. I owned a first gen palm pre, and it was dog slow.
What's stopping them from either providing a way to sync the key to other devices, or allow the device to register its own keys, and they just store a couple copies of the encrypted data?

It seems like there should be ways to do it without storing unencrypted data.

If the more mature models show higher sea level rises, then why didn't the IPCC just include that "meta trend" in the current models - predicting both the climate and the future models? That would be extremely risky. We obviously can't know what future models will show, no matter how they've been changing in the past.

2106 data is meaningless. It's only a few months out of a many decades trend filled with noise. If you count that, then you also have to count all the months which had lower than predicted temperatures and use them to show the models are wrong. This is the bias I'm talking about. Cherry picking any bit of data that shows it's bad.

Of course a higher mean sea level means higher peaks too. But so what? New York survives occasional floods, and it can survive slightly more.
The articles I read claiming the 97% consensus are really bad science. One (Anderegg) was a questionnaire sent to scientists with three very generic questions. IIRC, a number of scientists didn't reply, and the 97% figure even comes from ignoring those who replied two the first two questions but not the third one.

The other (Cook et al. 2013) takes incredibly generic mentions of climate change in papers' abstracts to infer a consensus (stuff like: "co2, a major responsible if climate change, also plays an important role in (something completely different)." Turns out that a lot of times scientists mention climate change in their abstracts as pure click bait.
It IS a wrapper around the web version. To be fair, the web version is very solid. It even warns you when your phone's battery is running low.
Except you're not Linus and you probably don't have a cult like following for any work you produce.

Linus brought DVCS to the masses, but to pretend there wasn't more at play than simply open sourcing a project and hoping it all works out is complete rubbish. People have families to feed. Closed source is not inherently evil.

It takes a unique situation to produce something like git that's product is beyond the sum of the project itself.
I love K&R, 21st century C, Understanding C pointers, Deep C secrets but I think they are a little complicated for beginners. I wouldn't bother opening them until you have written a couple of small programs in C or you have good experience in other languages.

When I first learned C in highschool I got a few books on C which all seemed to have the word 'Beginner' in the name. 'Absolute Beginners Guide to C' is one I remember in particular. I think having multiple books is pivotal because as a beginner if you encounter an explanation that doesn't make sense to you it is very hard to reason around it. You probably have very little prior knowledge, almost everything you know and learn up to the point where you get stuck will be contained in that single book, and if you don't know any other languages you can't make any connections to help yourself out. The reason the second, third, or fourth book is so important is that it will have a slightly different explanation that might make something click in your brain.
I've always pronounced it as 'care', not because of how the identifier is spelled but because it's the first syllable of the word 'character'.

I don't think there's a consensus between car/char/care, though, even among C's creators. But if there was, I would vote for 'care'.

I always thought SQL was another weird one. When discussing the language itself, you can say 'sequel' or 'ess queue ell' interchangeably, but when referring to a database that has "SQL" in its name, there is a DB-specific one true pronunciation:

* SQL Server: 'sequel server'

* PostgreSQL: 'post gress queue ell'

* SQLite: 'sequel light'

* MySQL: 'my ess queue ell'

There's no complete consensus on any of those- just a preponderance of one, or an officially endorsed pronunciation in a FAQ someplace.

I've also heard 'my squeal' for MySQL, breaking out of the 'sequel'/'ess queue ell' duopoly altogether.

It depends on how that would have affected Jeff Bonwick. If it kept him from deciding that Sun ought to develop a new filesystem, promising Matthew Ahrens a job writing one out of college and working together with Matt on it, ZFS would never have existed.

> "It is not ad hominem to bring someone's motivation and prior record into consideration."

I don't speak latin and don't use that expression often. Are you saying it's not ad hominem because the motive is considered as opposed to attacked? I ask because I had thought that it is ad hominem "to bring someone's motivation and prior record into consideration".

Here's the definition on Wikipedia: "a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

I didn't read the link of this post, or the link in your comment, so hopefully I didn't miss something. I was just curious since I thought "ad hominem" describes what you were saying is not ad hominem.

What have half of your points got to do with anything?

Not knowing who you live around is because that's not within the culture, if your life was based around where you live rather then where you work (and was the same for everyone) I'm sure that would change.

Your whole point about going for drinks or inviting people round is irrelevant; the point is people will be able to build local friend groups rather than work friend groups.

"Whatyagonna do? Shift your whole life around just to try and avoid that?"

Well, my whole life gets flipped around everytime I can't et home to my kids before they sleep because of an incident on the tube or the roads.

I think you mostly missed my point - you looked at your life today and decided that working from home won't work for you - you're completely ignoring all of the issues with central working locations.

Someone claiming these are my problems is nonsense; a lot of people feel the same; we are in a mental health crisis and families are under massive strain because fathers are away from their children for so long. Nobody is saying that you have to change but a lot of people are saying that the current system is causing serious issues to living standards.

Your comment about having to shift your whole life around is unreasonable and shows you haven;t thought about this outside of your situation. Every father I speak to, every couple that can't afford a house near work that I speak to, they all agree. Housing crisis, family crisis, mental health crisis; they are all heavily contributed to by this issue.

I used to be 22 and living in shoreditch, I didn't care about these issues back then either. When I don't get home in time to see my kids before bed tonight because some idiot crashes their car and delays thousands of people, I'll just say to my wife WHATYAGONNA DO!??? Can't be flipping my life around!!!
Nopes. Along with the reward for miners, the bitcoin system also has a concept of a transaction fee. So whenever a miner adds a block to the chain, they get the corresponding transaction fee. This is their new reward.
Going by this principle, if a certain entity has enough computational power i.e. more than 50% of the whole network, the entity is in a better position to earn by working honestly as opposed to trying to fraud the system.

Thanks for sharing your story!

Let me comment on file formats as someone familiar with both netCDF and deep learning.

I agree that netCDF is a sane binary file format for this application. It's designed for efficient serialization of large arrays of numbers. One downside is that netCDF does not support streaming without writing the data to intermediate files on disk.

Keep in mind that netCDF v4 is itself just a thin wrapper around HDF5. Given that your input format is basically a custom file format written in netCDF, I would have just used HDF5 directly. The API is about as convenient, and this would skip one layer of indirection.

The native file format for TensorFlow is its own custom TFRecords file format, but it also supports a number of other file formats. TFRecords is much simpler technology than NetCDF/HDF5. It's basically just a bunch of serialized protocol buffers [1]. About all you can do with a TFRecords file is pull out examples -- it doesn't support the fancy multi-dimensional indexing or hierarchical structure of netCDF/HDF5. But that's also most of what you need for building machine learning models, and it's quite straightforward to read/write them in a streaming fashion, which makes it a natural fit for technologies like map-reduce.

What I've always wondered. Why do so many sites show TONS of ads likely making incredibly small amounts of money from my eyeballs?

Starting an Ecommerce Store? Here Are Some of the Best Platforms to Choose From
Am I the only one who thinks the HN reaction to uBeam is pretty gross? Now we're encouraging shit-talking by former employees? It's an innovative hard tech company with an audacious goal that would change the world if successful and was funded by knowledgeable investors using private money. Why is everyone here so eager to trash talk them?

Because their stated goal of wireless phone charging is likely too hard to get to work right? If they "only" figure out short distance beam-formed wireless power at 25% efficiency, is the company a failure?

Look around any apartment in an 'old' city and you'll see dozens of things that would benefit from being able to throw power like WiFi. 60-watt equivalent LEDs are something like 9W -- there are about 100 places in my apartment I'd like to have better light but my landlord has no interest in running new power lines. Smoke detectors trickle charging at even 1W would never run out of power. Modern 40" TVs can use as little as 25W of power -- with a powerful uBeam and a Chromecast, you could attach it to any wall and never see a cable. Those "smart mirrors" that everyone builds then never shows full frame due to the ugly cord running out of it could easily be charged via wireless tech.

There are obviously many obstacles and who knows if they'll make it, but it seems extremely short sighted and against the spirit of HN to actively cheer for a company's failure.

Edit: Apparently, yes, I'm the only one.

Those accounts have lawyers and financial experts crossing all the t's and dotting every i. If you were going to automate this then your servers would need to be hosted somewhere in Panama since they are using Panama law to build these shell companies.

Then hire a team of Panama lawyers to file the documents and financial experts to manage the money that is being "hidden".

I believe the only thing you could do to automate the process is build a site like rocketlawyer.com and have people file it that way and then follow up a consultation call to walk them through the rest of the process.
As in the US National Academy of Sciences report in

http://www.nap.edu/catalog/11676.html

(1) the temperature in 2006, and, thus, also now, is essentially the same as in the year 1000 and

(2) there was a rapid rise in temperature from year 900 to year 1000.

But for the temperature increase from year 900 to year 1000, the usual arguments about CO2 from human activity do not apply. Apparently CO2, from humans or anything else, had nothing to do with it.

So, the current temperature and the rise of the past 100 years also happened between year 900 and year 1000. Can't blame humans for the
rise from 900 to 1000. And, since the rise of the past 100 years is much like 900 to 1000, it doesn't have to look like "something is up" now, especially not human activity.

Well, no. You could have a situation where there's a policy in place forbidding installing GPL-licensed products. (I don't have any info about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case at Microsoft a while ago.)

If most experts in a field believe X, you should believe X unless you have good reason otherwise.

Anyway, if that was the argument in isolation, you'd have a better point. There's also the matter of the rapid measured temperature increase in 20th century, glacial retreat, mass coral die-offs, historical records of Arctic sea ice, the body of published peer-reviewed work on it, among many other things.

And... I take particular offense to "it's not scientifically relevant." There is a big difference between interpreting information and practicing science. The author of the link previously published an article with basic errors in its science and his two coauthors partially disavowed the work. He is publishing on a non-peer reviewed site with a known bias.

And if you want get specific, read the provided "rebuttal" link. It basically amounts to "The 7-10 mm/yr claim is alarmist! If you look at this other tidal gauge, it's almost 10 mm/yr from 1995 onward, but it looks like it may have slowed to 5 mm/yr since then. Also, if you go back to 1974 - 20 before the uptrend starts - it's ony 3mm/yr!"

Because I can't cmd-tab to it. Because it brings every Chrome window to front if I just want to read a message. Because it floats on top of Chrome whenever it's open. Because I can't easily move it between monitors, or to a different part of the screen. It's also really rubbish at uploading files. Why can't I drag and drop? And how about search? You're Google ffs. Why do I have to go to Gmail to search Hangouts, instead of allowing search in, oh I don't know, how about in Hangouts?

Some of these may have changed since I abandoned Hangouts last year for Telegram, which still has the best desktop experience.
I agree that will be a start. But knowing that you need more diapers isn't particularly revolutionary - just order the same ones, we are almost there - just have to connect the cabinet to Amazon dash.

What will blow my mind is when we have computers that can take an idea - "shit, I just had a kid, I need diapers" - and successfully mimic my purchase criteria and find the diapers that I would've found in my own research process. It wouldn't need me to define my purchase criteria - it would already know me well enough to successfully predict in most cases.

At some point we'll have mind readers. Be careful of thinking you want a jelly donut - Postmastes is already on the way.
Electronic CAD is tedium, honestly. Even the expensive stuff I use at work is tedious, which is why we have a PCB layout department.

I haven't used KiCAD for several years, but in the past I used Rohrbacher's Quick Library Builder [0] to generate parts. Otherwise making parts is indeed a pain.

I enjoy KiCAD's single-key commands, though.

Surely if there was consensus, you wouldn't get to vote.
Could you possibly comment on FF's seeming inability to unload tabs from memory? There are numerous add-ons that claim to unload tabs and free up that memory, but none of them work as advertised.

And, when FF crashes and reloads, restoring all the tabs, it seems like the tabs aren't loaded (the page is blank and does a reload when selected), yet if you look in task manager (Windows 7), all the memory seems to have already been consumed.

Should tabs be able to be unloaded from memory, in theory? If so, is it implemented this way? If not, is there a reason?

Your original comment linked broken branches with the fact that they can't be deleted. That's only true if you intended to talk about Mercurial named branches which aren't broken, they just aren't what you want them to be.

Bookmarks (today, and for several years) work just fine. So "branching" in the general sense isn't broken even though the combined feature set is a bit haphazard.

That bitbucket doesn't work well with bookmarks is a sign of how little Atlassian cares about hg, rather than an hg issue.

If you're arguing that the hosting options for hg are limited and fall far below the git options, then I'm not going to disagree.
When I saw this I was excited that maybe I could finally switch from Telegram. But no, it's tethered. I don't want to have to always make sure my phone is charged and with signal. I really don't get it. I get they can't do it the telegram way, by storing plaintext on the server. However I don't get why they can't do it like iMessage and encrypt the messages with each registered device's key. Perhaps moxie can explain why they can't do this.
WhatsApp doesn't store messages on their servers, which is one of those features I really like in a privacy point of view. Signal does the same, its web app only loads the messages from your phone and they are not stored to any servers.
Yes yes, for their phone-sized receiver. If you change the receiver size or transmitter size, you can change the power delivered.. If you fix the distance and take away the requirement to track a moving object, you can reliably send more power as well.. Adding battery capacity to a TV that's used 4 hours per day effectively cuts the power requirement to 1/6th. Lights that are used for a few hours each night are in the same range. Why does everyone's creativity suddenly disappear when the hivemind has decided to attack a company?

I'll run some better numbers tomorrow for a fixed distance / size, but intuitively, eliminating the "tracking a phone from 5M away" requirement dramatically expands the use cases.
The "colourise" option does that, kind-of.
Whatsapp only needs one time authentication through SMS OTP. And whats app need not be installed in the same phone as that containing the number.
I use number from a different country for my whatsapp. I dont even have the phone with me. So when the OTP is received, I ask my friend to provide it to me.
