Show HN: Deep Learning for Answering Questions about Images
Currently in private beta, developed by Fog Creek, comes a online IDE for web applications, with deployment, hosting and team collaboration built in.

It reminds me how Heroku started (in 2007, 2008) with an online IDE for (only?) Ruby on Rails applications. Later, Heroku stopped with offering the online IDE and moved to the current deploy-via-git-push-model. It will be interesting how this works out for HyperDev.

The people that you are looking for are the systemd and FreeDesktop people. The former have a manifesto addressing this:

> The emphasis of systemd to provide a platform instead of just a component allows for closer integration, and cleaner APIs. Sooner or later this will trickle up to the applications. Already, there are accepted XDG specifications [...] that are not supported on the other init systems.

> systemd is also a big opportunity for Linux standardization. Since it standardizes many interfaces of the system that previously have been differing on every distribution, on every implementation, adopting it helps to work against the balkanization of the Linux interfaces.

When 1200 baud was fast there were no pleas to use simple html - there was no html!

You might have had me with 56k or even 28.8kbps (V.92!), but 1200 baud. When 1200 baud was fast - yes, everywhere was simple text on the screen (maybe ANSI colors), but more along the lines of Compuserve or a BBS. And yes, you had to download images. The best were the progressive scan ones where you could view the incomplete images as they downloaded.

Ah, the memories...
This is generally why smaller changes are better. They are more easily reviewed, and more easily "steered" as you put it by a good review.

And of course having a design doc ahead of time that the team can review and comment on for a longer, more complicated change, is a great thing to do. And compliments the subsequent code review[s].

I just did some testing and it's even worse than that: 7-zip completely ignores the file extension and snoops the file format based on the file contents only.

So simply opening a malicious ".zip" file on Windows could trigger the HFS+ vulnerability. Using 7-zip to open any file means you have a HUGE attack surface.

EDIT: One simple way to mitigate this issue would be to just throw a confirmation prompt if the file extension matches a known format but 7-zip is about to run a decoder for a different format.

> This does a lot to explain why so many highly-educated people believe in outmoded stuff based on bad metaphysics when it comes to philosophy: it's what was taught in their classes!

How many of these highly educated people who believe in outmoded stuff based on bad metaphysics when it comes to philosophy actually took >1 philosophy courses that helped them arrive at these ideas? I am willing to wager vanishingly few. More likely, they never engaged much philosophy at all, and certainly didn't learn anything about metaphysics, epistemology, etc. They're probably just basing these outmoded ideas on intuition, received beliefs from childhood, and various other sources.

$35 open source RK3288 hacker SBC hits Indiegogo
Current commercial Qt developer on iMX6 here.

You can use the LGPL version of Qt as long as you use dynamic linking to the Qt libraries and provide for the other things in the agreement (like letting users access the Qt source code, provide a way to update libs, etc). I haven't had a need to modify the libraries at all, I'm using a vanilla build for ARM right from the Yocto output.

In my opinion (been doing this for 25 years) Qt is the only embedded UI that's worth using these days. I stick with 4.8 and don't use Qt5 or QML, although you probably get a lot more performance out of the system that way and get to harness the accelerator under OpenGL.

Qt4 on 6Solo works fine enough for me and it's dead simple to do stuff like talk to lower-level drivers or make a Windows version for demonstration. Freescale supports enough of the backend stuff to use gStreamer and ALSA. I like that.

I recently tore down a car infotainment system that used iMX6 and Opera as the UI. The backend was all in Javascript. It looks like hell to develop for, but then again I don't work in Javascript all day.
Just like most specs.

But don't all those paths depend on the inputs, ultimately? Trying to understand this here. Can a fuzzer that generates lots of different inputs, not be used to exercise all those paths?
Startups go where the money is. For Austin to attract startups, I think it needs to provide access to VCs at par with sfba.
Couldn't agree more with all of this. In practice NPEs are extremely rare in decent Scala code, and very easy to fix.

Currently the major concerns (as I understand them) are the death of marine life near the intakes, and the consequences of discharging extremely salty wastewater (again, into a relatively limited area).

If you could spread the wastewater across the entire ocean, probably not as big an impact. Possibly none, as the desalinated water eventually makes its way back to the ocean anyway.

For the exploration company? Yes. For utilities or independent generators, the generation asset itself is the largest component.

Coal involves burning tons of minerals, concentrating the non-carbon elements of those minerals into coal ash and exhaust. A lot of those other minerals are radioactive or otherwise toxic.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-r...

However, to make a fair comparison you should also consider the toxic byproducts of uranium extraction and purification. Coal is not refined in anywhere near the same degree as reactor-grade uranium.
As I read your comments you may be right it's may be related to the performance and I don't want to face it.
AsicBoost is hypothetically an easy 20% win for any miner to implement, but it's patent encumbered, so there's now an attempt [1] by the core developers to fork Bitcoin in order to nullify its effect.

Why fight it? Not just because it's patented. The bigger fear is that because it's patented, no one in the US will be able (willing?) to implement it, while folks in other countries with lax enforcement of IP laws (read: China) will. Since mining is a competitive race, a 20% boost should ensure only patent infringers will ever mine blocks.

It's still a fight worth fighting.

Multi-layer defense works. Yes, yes, it sucks when a city gets nuked, but things go way worse if you just give up on the problem and thus allow 1000 cities to get nuked. Think of it like computer network defense. You don't just give up because there is a chance of failure.

You start with treaties, export control, diplomacy, and a threat to respond in kind. Next it's sabotage, both physical and cyber. Next it's launch-phase attack... and if they move their launch sites to a less-desirable location to avoid your attack, it's still a partial win. Next it's an attack right before engine cut-out, possibly from orbit. Next it's an attack on the warheads in space; those balloons sure are vulnerable to lasers. Next it's an attack right after reentry. Next is building codes, bomb shelters, and emergency services.

Every layer has value, even if imperfect. It's negligent to leave out even one layer.
Indeed I know it's a close-knit community. Most of our 20-person team came from anti-fraud teams at Google. I'm guessing the "silliness" you're referring to is the talk of Facebook not being incentivized to block spammers. I think kbenson articulated best what I was trying to say, that there are tradeoffs in blocking good users and decreasing apparent user volume when fighting fraud. Facebook would obviously not be wise to catch every single fraudster because there would be a high number of false positives, so a balance must be struck. As I'm sure you know, fraud teams at many companies often clash with the marketing team because they're protecting the bottom line (sometimes at the expense of the top line) respectively, and vice versa.
Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields. In essence, only 0.007 percent of the planet's water is available to fuel and feed its 6.8 billion people.

That's awful, corvallis. I agree with you that it's super-sketchy.

I admit that I use tracking cookies on my website, but I looked to find a company (RocketBolt) I was comfortable with. Gotta keep my customers' trust at all cost, and the RocketBolt cookies I use end at the border of my site, don't tap into any private databases, etc. I'm simply trying to find ways to offer relevance to my customers. Honest question: does that level of tracking upset you?

I've never heard of Criteo, but I appreciate the heads up.
Slack, and even good old-fashioned email, are pretty helpful for quick shares. If you're looking for something more persistent, there's a lack of great solutions at the moment.
Qt is basically unrivaled in this space in my opinion. If you really control your hardware and software, it seems like its easier for you to just comply with the LGPL requirements. You can find some other vendors for similar software with Google but they aren't as 'attractive' and 'responsive'. That being said I think IVI systems will start looking at web rendering soon if they haven't already. If the LGPL is a show stopper for you, you can always give CEF a shot to see if its fast enough (though I've always been confused about CEF because I thought it used WebKit which was LGPL)

Also depending on how complex your UI is going to be you can always take the crazy route and roll your own. If your scope is very specific and limited, it wouldn't be that bad.
Do the downlable .ISOs boot these days? Back when I had time to check it out nearly a decade ago, it cost real cash money to buy a bootable CD-ROM from their store.
I wouldn't be "doing nothing". The dole isn't always about sitting on ass and cashing checks. It's just that the things I would be doing would probably not be sufficiently remunerative to maintain a lifestyle that includes clean beds and showers.
No, no no, when someone says that, they're telling other people to do that work.
I'd love QEMU to move to some safer language. Unfortunately I don't know any which meet the necessary criteria:
- support linux, osx, windows
- mature enough for widespread support in distros
- support at least half a dozen different host cpu architectures
- simply interoperable at a C ABI level so you can move parts of the system to the new language without doing a 100% rewrite

(There are probably other requirements too but that last one is the biggie really.)
My understanding is that this is from the radioactive carbon-14 isotope which is in the CO2 emitted, at something like one part per trillion. So it should apply to any non-CCS powerplant.

But it's still misleading, since essentially all of that CO2 will remain in the atmosphere, while radioactivity in the form of uranium, plutonium etc. will all rain down to the ground quickly (i.e. "fallout").

Edit: I remembered wrong, carbon-14 isn't the problem. It's uranium etc. in the ash from coal powerplants. Disregard this post.
There are already established forums for discussions, like mathoverflow.
> The sVirt and Seccomp functionalities used to restrict host's QEMU process privileges and resource access might mitigate the impact of successful exploitation of this issue.

seccomp is pretty awesome IMO. Would that more software opted in to dropping unneeded system access.
evaporating the waste water gives the side benefit of being able to mine both salt and other minerals known to be in ocean water such as gold, etc.
> In an absolute sense maybe not, but you can have decent approximations.

No you can't. It's all inherently snake oil. The nature of the universe is such that if you can see something then you can copy it. Either you get people to respect copyright by believing in the social contract or you lose. There is no technological solution.

> As OP points out, music ended up being ok with watermarking.

Watermarking isn't DRM. (Though it shares a lot of the same failings in the sense that it reduces quality for legitimate purchasers and can be removed by pirates.)

> Hollywood might be ok with something like hardware tokens (which imho would be superior to "just download and execute this blob and shut up").

That kind of hardware is just software embedded in silicon. Any "hardware token" can be fully emulated in software as soon as you extract the keys out of it, which somebody is going to figure out how to do and then tell all their pirate friends how to do. By the time the hardware is in enough hands that you can require it to be used, it's already broken. And you can't patch silicon over the internet, so the pirates win for a decade. Then you come out with some new hardware that pirates have several years to break before it's in enough hands that you can require it again.

> If that was the case, we wouldn't be hearing musicians crying foul about Spotify every other day.

Spotify has DRM. Losing money to competition is not the same thing as losing money to piracy.

> At current prices, that's unlikely. The experience is not terrible with current players either; what drives privacy at this point is mostly price.

It's mostly not. A Netflix subscription is extremely affordable. The problem with it is that their app kind of sucks, and even that is rainbows and sunshine compared to the unmitigated horror of cable TV set top boxes. Movie companies should stick to making movies and leave the software to Canonical and Apple and Google.

> Hollywood doesn't want to give up margins that are unrealistic in the digital age, which is why they fixate on DRM.

Except that those two things have nothing to do with each other.

> There is teaching and there is shaming. Shouting at them that they are morally-corrupt buffoons is not "teaching".

That's because there are three different sets of people: The actual artists, the morally-corrupt buffoons, and legislators. Teaching is what the artists need. The others need something else.
It's a good problem to have. Plus there is a tipping point when car park owners can earn extra income from taking a slice of the profit.

At that point they'll want fast chargers since that will maximise ROI.

What I do wonder about is how on-street parking will be served. The UK has a lot of homes where people don't have driveways for overnight charging.
I would strongly recommend building up a portfolio of cool side projects and making them publicly available on github. I think more and more tech interviewers are starting to look at candidates' github accounts and taking it seriously. Even better if you can host your side projects somewhere so they can easily check it out.
