To be fair, Go's GC got A LOT better over the past few versions and it's getting much better still.

What I would really like to be able to do though is be able to write unmanaged blocks when I need them and know better than the compiler rather than having to "run my own heap" on top of a buffer like I typically have to do in managed languages that don't have that opt out.
> We continue to use Go because of its strengths, but it just really surprises me how little Google seems to care about the language and ecosystem.

Go is certainly a language that is used at Google, but AFAIK a lot of "Googlers" don't really like it and don't use it. It certainly not the "official language at Google", given the weight of C++ and Java there. But that's the consequence of being opinionated. Using Go means having Rob Pike over your shoulder telling you how to write code. And he made sure you can't escape that fact since there is no place for "ninja coding" with Go.

As someone who hasn't dealt with Lisp since the 1980's, help me out here. Immutable structures and Lisp seems to be incompatible, as Lisp's lists are about the most mutable things you'll ever see.

If, for example, I want to put a value into the middle of a list, would I be doing something akin to. . .

MyList = MyList.firstHalf + NewValue + MyList.secondHalf?

And how doesn't this become a horrible bottleneck?
It seems far more logical at this point that the Oak Island sinkhole is a result of natural phenomena and rumors / myths. I'm highly skeptical that there is anything at the bottom of the pit.
Ask HN: What's the best highly-configurable dashboard?
I'm setting up a big touchscreen display for monitoring our products, and there's a wide range of data I'd like to be able to easily display in sections, such as:

Server

- Server status - Green, Yellow, Red
- Uptime
- Last Push - i.e. "4 days ago"
- Jenkins Build statuses
- CPU
- Memory
- Disk space
- Database statistics?
- Django errors (prod)

Business

- Total number of customer sites (Production only; not including test sites, demo cases, etc)
- Total number of customer devices (as above)
- Total number of users
- Avg number of users / site
- Avg number of devices / site
- Sales $

Project Management

- Number of Open tickets in milestone
- Number of tickets currently being worked on
- Number of stale tickets (in progress but over 1 week with no updates)

Customer Service

- Number of Open Salesforce tickets
- Number of stale tickets
- Average response time
- Average call duration

What is some good dashboard software that provides out-of-the-box display modules (i.e. graphs, numbers, on/off "leds") that can be mapped to arbitrary APIs? Ideally this would be self-hosted on a Raspberry Pi.

Thanks!

Imagine you witness a situation where a young man releases a heavy weight. The weight falls and crushes a child playing below. Your child.

The young man happens to be mute. If he could speak, he would tell you he did it on purpose, and was glad he killed your child. But he's mute. You will never know he meant to do it.

Does his (unobservable) intent make any difference to you?
The last place I worked, we built a system that included Erlang. When it was time to hire someone, we found a guy who was curious about Erlang, and although he didn't know it pat, he was a good hire, as he was a smart guy, hard worker, and curious not only about Erlang, but a lot of stuff.

That's the kind of person you want to hire anyway, unless you are super crunched for time in getting someone up to speed.

Ok, fair enough. It's certainly a fine line. Though, a company is playing a not so nice but well known game, a game it is known for decades. And one can see how reasonable objective comments get downvoted and highly opinionated pro-biased comments get upvoted to influence the audience. And about stories, you rarely see objective stories about that company, because the fear to loose ads or the big gorilla and its lawyers. I will continue using a third party frontend, as HN frontpage hides some of the "heated discussions" or "high voted stories" that got flagged a lot too. But I am here because of the insightful comments and stories.
It's been done as other comments pointed out. But the fact that you can do it is mildly interesting, isn't it? It's a sort of bootstrapping problem.

Obviously you can't trigger full GC in your GC code. So you have to write GC code in such a way that it won't trigger GC or, in some cases, very limited mode of GC that you know is safe to perform at that point. It is trickier in languages that implicitly allocates. Traditionally, Lisp programmers are pretty aware of what operation would allocate and good at avoiding them. Plus, an implementation often provide a primitive to turn off GC in certain regions. Another approach is to design a subset of language with guaranteed safety properties and implement the core part of GC with it.

This.

Most (all?) of the mentioned ones are run by companies, not individuals who are not seeking any profit or anything. In terms of ethics, I wouldn't even call it unethical or a dark pattern. Some sneaky checkbox to receive spam is bad. Sneaky checkbox for addon when purchasing is horribly bad. But pop up with email field? Nope. Calling it ethical decision is a stretch. Worst case scenario - you close the tab and move on with your life. If anyone loses then it's the business, not you.

At the end, it's a business decision whether it's worth annoying some users in order to extract more value later from a fraction of them and it's the users choice to accept or not. It's a personal choice, to each their own.

You think the UX is so crap because of it and surely something better can be done? Take it as a business opportunity!
I find the multi-dropdown pattern even more annoying. Yes, the individual choices are smaller, but then I have to click/tab-select the next drop-down multiple times, wait for fold-out animation, understand what the options are, repeat, and there often are strange bugs, e.g. if you try to fix an error. Non-dropdown selects next to each other are better for this pattern IMHO, but take space.

Eh, it’s not really related.

Google even openly discourages forks, or any contribution that doesn’t fit their ideals.

It’s only truly open if development is controlled by a democratic community, or if it’s easily possible to be forked and competed with.

Which isn’t the case.

And for users open development is a lot more important than open source: Being able to get their own changes into the browser, ensuring the browser is made by the users, for the users.

> It should not mean the right to say absolutely anything to anybody. Having laws on racism and hate speech (for example) provide well-meaning guidance on acceptable behaviour within civilised society and help reduce discrimination, bias etc.

Sure! Let's start by defining "racism and hate speech" in ways that both prohibit them and do not allow the laws to be used to silence people for having different opinions. There shouldn't be any trouble distinguishing "free speech" from "hate speech" because it's always clear and obvious to every single person!

In practice, the distinction tends to be almost entirely in the eye of the beholder. Which means whoever can convince the government that something is hateful has a big stick to wave at whoever disagrees with them.

This is a classically bad comment to post to Hacker News. Shallow, hand-waving dismissals of new work are basically peeing in the swimming pool (in full public view, no less), making this thread a worse place and this community a worse place for everyone.

If you have knowledge about this field, you could take some time to share your knowledge so that we can all learn something. If you don't want to take the time to post a substantive comment, that's cool; but in that case please post nothing.

Not all new work is good, of course, but the human bias (on HN as in life) is overwhelmingly to dismiss and trample on it. Here we want a culture that does the opposite: pauses, considers, and responds with respect for the effort involved, if not the surprisingness of the findings.

If several people take months to review the entire literature on an important topic, and present what they found, that's a real service. This deserves respect, not internet snark. Please restrain yourself before commenting like this.
To my knowledge the Bilderberg conferences operate under Chatham House rule, with the goal of encouraging openness and information sharing through a certain degree of anonymity to the outside world.

In practice this often means that attendees can reveal what was discussed, but not where, when or from whom they obtained information.

So if you happen to have the chance to talk with an attendee, you could potentially learn what was discussed (ofcourse without any references to where it was discussed) ;-)

Hi guys, one of the authors here. Wow, the interest was a lot higher than we expected

Since you all have been asking, here's a negative excerpt from an earlier version of this post, which unfortunately got cut before the final draft. I'm starting to feel like we should write a follow up post now, but in the mean time, here's this:

"It was not all positive. Finding a smooth way of working took a long time, and we lost team members along the way, presumably at least partly because they did not enjoy this. Personality differences became painfully obvious, and a lot of time was spent talking openly and honestly to each other on how to stop rubbing each other the wrong way.

Taking on new people is both easier and harder in this setting. The bonus is that they will come up to speed with the work a lot sooner. The drawback is that you have to redo the personality resolution dance before work will run smoothly again."

My take on the introvert/extrovert thing:

I'm definitely one of the extroverts on the team (even though I, like introverts, get completely exhausted by too much interaction). I thrive in a communicative environment. We have a pretty fair mix of people on the team, and we've spent some time trying to find the balance of that, leaving room for people to leave the mob when needed etc. We usually do not mob for eight hours a day - reality hits, someone comes in early, someone likes to work late, we attend meetings, we are all parents and sometimes have to work from home, and we try to encourage each other to leave the mob at times. My guess is that we mob approximately 70% of the time. My impression is that our introverts, while finding it tiresome, are a lot more expressive and take up more social space in the group than before. The extroverts have worked hard on stepping back and leaving space. We still have ways to go, but we're getting there.

We are just one team in an organization of many teams working on different parts and features of the same system. We do not feel that we need to understand 100% of everything all the time, but our general knowledge has most definitely improved, and rapidly so. We all feel more comfortable around our own components than before.

Why would we assume the software is identical across humans?

My point is that the software is NOT identical. It's where intelligence comes from, as opposed to the hardware.
The idea of subjective experience or qualia can only seem like nonsense if you don't experience it - if you're a p-zombie. If you do experience qualia, if there is "something that it's like" to be you, then the scientific response to that persistent, inexplicable experience, despite not having any sensible or useful way to explain or even question it, is very definitely not to attempt to dismiss it. It is not scientific to deny things that exist merely because they don't fit with the accepted scheme of things, or merely because we don't currently know how to gain further insight into them.

Do Evil with ESP8266: Slow Down the WiFi
The 'Warlords of Draenor' [1] cinematic Blizzard used to promote it's 2014 WOW update was badass. I mean, I conventionally dislike stuff of that nature, I'm no WOW player, but the short got right what everybody else gets wrong.

So I was accidentally excited for the feature film it inspired. The older I get, the less frequent appearances by my inner 12 year old become, so it's always refreshing when it happens. My worldview has never been so self-assured as it was the day before I hit puberty.

Unfortunately, when the trailer for the feature descended it revealed itself to be another cringeworthy iteration of the sanitized pablum we've come to expect from Hollywood. Once again the big studios just can't be trusted to resist the urge to bashfully position figleafs over the patriotic nerd-genitals that inseminated this monstrosity.

Well, yes, technically any amount of obscurity you add to your service increases your overall security.

So let's go. You make a 256 bit level key. That's 256 bits of security there. For each binary thing that must be guessed together with the key (let's call those multiplicative), you gain an extra bit there. So, if you could somehow (what you can't) not disclose your encryption algorithm, you'd gain some easy 3 extra bits of security there.

Now, if you have a secret that can be verified independently from your other secrets (let's call those additive), you'll gain one extra bit of security for every secret that has your overall security level. That is, if you add a 256 bit secure port knocking step (16 knocks on completely random pots) to your 256 bit secure key, you'll get 257 bits of security overall. If you add a 16 bit non-standard port, you'll get some fraction of a bit, starting with some dozens of zeros after the comma.

Thus, since security is all about trade-off, think very hard about the costs of any additive measure you want to create.
They gave one of my favorite movies, The Thirteenth Floor, a score of 29% while it's rated decently in other places and is a pretty good film, definitely not garbage...

I'm having a feeling some reviewers just don't know what to do with certain movies that do not fit a particular mold, and then keep trying to compare them to other movies when it's not appropriate, and Warcraft is also most likely being punished out of the gate for being Warcraft.

Reviews from people so far seem to be pretty good.
The obvious keyword here being reported. Not that I'm necessarily agreeing with the GP; it's just that rape/sexual assault is something that is generally under-reported for various reasons, including shame, fear of reprisal, futility, and so on. That makes any statistics relying on reported rape essentially meaningless when talking about "rape culture", since reports are more likely the less culturally acceptable something is.

D.B. Cooper Redux – Help Us Solve the Enduring Mystery (2007)
Great meme bro.
CL's conflation also means that can use NIL to indicate the absence of an object (in the usual situation in which NIL isn't a valid value). We can test for this absence glibly, using a conditional. This is at least as useful as the benefits in list recursion.

The Javascript design means that we cannot test for the absence of an integer in this manner, because a negative result could mean that a zero is present.

It could be handy from time to time. I propose a NAUGHT function for Lisp which returns true for empty sequences, empty hashes, zero (integer, real or complex) and any other nothing you can think of.
Are you employing your cleaners or is the model similar to Homejoy where you are a marketplace for independent cleaners?
>> Do you mean very detailed?

Not necessarily, although I could argue you need detailed sensory organs to have a complex mental model but that's beside the point.
What I meant by atomic was approximately what I said above - that it feels like individual nerves are conscious, like a mental field, and then you can fill that field with any arbitrary activation patterns and it will register in conscious experience. A lot of it won't activate _other_ things like emotions, memories, words and associations, but those aren't necessary for it be in conscious experience still.

I'm just struggling a bit with a 'computational' model of consciousness where there is this big abstraction process in the brain, while at the same time seeming so closely connected to the world and vast in possibilities. The way it seems to me is, the brain doesn't get sensory input of a chair, and then it has a preconceived notion of the chair in the brain, and then the brain projects the chair onto consciousness, but rather, the brain can see everything, and then with a more connected neural network, we can attach the 'chair stimuli' to other neural pathways, giving the chair a deeper meaning.

I know that after we have learned the meaning of some object in the world, _then_ the brain can have an automatic response to it, and that would be an abstraction that works in the higher areas of the brain, but we could still see the thing consciously before we were scared of it.

In that scenario consciousness comes first, and then meaning is built outward by connecting neural pathways together into networks of meaning, which is how I feel the world is anyway. In that scenario you'd need some kind of module that gives consciousness to all experience, and then abstraction is built in the neocortex or something after that.

Also to address your question - you are right, we can't compare this to anything, so we are stuck in our own conceptions, so maybe this is all moot ;
