I prefer to put the phony rule right before the actual rules, it's better for understanding:

.PHONY: all
all: ...

.PHONY: clean
clean: ...
It seems to defeat the purpose of the competition when they include arbitrary rules like this.

All sports include arbitrary rules to try to make them more fun for both participants and viewers. Basketball isn't just about seeing who can get a ball through the hoop the most times, car racing isn't just about who can be the first N times around a track etc.
That's pretty sweet. I'd love to see something similar for the EL family: RHEL, CentOS, Fedora.

There's certainly a lot of opportunity, I think, to improve the Linux package management ecosystem. For example, Spacewalk is kind of terrible and I'd love build some projects implementing smaller parts of it (like checking security errata, SCAP audits), but working with rpm is a real bummer.
Not really. If people were rich enough, it wouldn't be a problem for that. The problem is with people who have some liquidity, but spend it on the Diderot effect and thus become poor.
I can imagine a lot of applications for these types of systems:
identifying undercover traffic police cars,
finding whether someone is following you,
identifying friend's cars (similar to FB's "Share your location")

People would love such systems (and I'm afraid our privacy is gone for good).
It doesn't seem to be an issue of legality as much as morality.

Items don't make the man. The man makes the items.
I always preferred the Toast's version of the whole KonMari spiel:

"Things like “having chairs” is preventing you from living your best life, and also you should throw away any item of clothing you’re not currently wearing. If it’s not on your skin, you don’t really love it, do you?"

If not a ruse, this is a dumb post that discredits itself and calls makefiles hacky, not noticing that they are used by many people for most native programming on most (unix type) platforms.

I'm feeling cranky every day, but just today this post is at the top of hacker news, and that's frustrating.

Congratulations on being so rational. Most people aren't (myself not excluded, although I'm working on it).
(Disclaimer: LMDB author here) When your data is simple, too simple for SQL, LMDB is the rational choice. (And as others have already pointed out, you can use SQLightning, SQLite built on LMDB, if you really want the relational data model.)

Nothing else even approaches LMDB for small footprint, efficiency, and reliability.
On one level you are right: this will probably lead to some people harming themselves with medication obtained without proper medical advice.

On another level: we should not protect people from themselves. If someone is stupid enough to do something harmfull to him/herself we should let them. Natural selection will do the rest.

Is a fallback to IP scanning a valid option to centralised bootstrapping? Lets say you have connected to 20peers during a session, u could use that list as a start for your scanning activities, because if there is one IP, there might be possibly more Ips close by that also provide the service?
Tim Benners Lee refers to social "levelling". It's interesting to compare the inventors of the internet with the English Levellers of the seventeenth century. They showed great creativity early on, but gradually got worn down by the failure of the rest of mankind to get behind and realise their vision of a reborn society. I think this is the major problem with the "reinvention of the internet" - the majority of people aren't particularly bothered about changing it in the first place.
I would say it is not a matter of reducing your stuff to an absolute number, but removing what is really unnecessary and/or redundant, trying to reach a minimum.

Before buying anything, I ask myself "do I really need it? can I live without it?". After living in 12 different places, I was gradually leaving a lot of stuff behind, and I became kind of minimalist in the process, being aware of how much unnecessary extra baggage you carry on your shoulders.

I also think that a minimalist way of life doesn't refer only to things, but also to immaterial stuff like extra fees, subscriptions, debts, mortgages, utility bills, etc. They all add weight to that baggage.
The CM-200 looks even cooler (at least in the brochure…): http://www.corestore.org/cm200.htm
Which is why you want content-addressable decentralized storage, so the content gets distributed either peer to peer or through public caching infrastructure that's operated by ISPs, just as IP router are nowadays.
I hate implicit rules. Also the %: %.c implicit rule is especially idiotic, it causes to check this rule for every single file, so if you have hello.h, then it will search for hello.h.c too.
Occam did it quite nicely.

I think the reason transputers didn't 'make it' is not because they were super hard to program (it was only a little bit harder than programming a regular computer), but because the price premium you paid for a transputer set-up was too high and x86 got faster very rapidly.

This is right around the time when the first 386 machines were launched and in a very short time we went from 12-20 MHz 286 boxes (and some 68K machines for the lucky ones) to 33 MHz 386 machines with a ton of RAM.

So the advantage that transputers had was eroded very quickly and I don't think INMOS was ready to match pace.

Now that we've reached the end of the line for that kind of speed increase we are seeing a renewed interest in multi-cpu fabric architectures, of which the transputer was an instance.
Abuse of a top-level domain which occurs at the end of the author's name - that gets about a 7/10 on my hipsterometer.
That's only "damning" if like SQLite your project has several orders of magnitude more test code than tested code, which I'm reasonably certain is not the case.
Doesn't look like it... there was an established website for the project. It seemed to have some big names from processor design and such behind it as well (at least from what I gathered on their wikipedia pages ;) )

For future reference, here is a link talking about the arch mentioned so that no one else has to wade through google's results for "fleet architecture":

That would suggest that APFS is only relevant for internal storage procured by Apple. Do they not intend for it to be used on external storage?
It takes a special state of mind to run around telling stories about being hired by US military while 8 years old to hack on nuclear launch computers (script to War Games), which is what Brenda Romero repeats in interviews about her husband.
Yes, not mentioning .PHONY encourages people to do things incorrectly and not inline with how make actually works.
I guess you only have superstores around. I just go to the newsagents and buy one for some cents.
I am no where near these extremes, but I am currently not really settled down (travelling then, living abroad now) and everything I buy I buy with the knowledge that whenever I move again - I should have no issues with throwing/giving it away. Everything I care about I can fit in my backpack.
I mostly work in Python as well, but I always include an .editorconfig file in each project to automatically set things like

yeah cayley supports numerous backends that do have replication such as mongodb and postgres or cockroach db. The issue being that a complex query consists of multiple stages like 'friends of friends of friends'. So if you're using a remote backend iterating over the result of a query then recursively making new queries results in performance that is at best poor.
State machines would have to operate on the byte level. Otherwise each state would have to have have 65536 entries per state. The trick to handle UTF-8 would be to have 0-127 run as a state machine and > 127 break out to functions to handle the various unicode ranges that are valid for identifiers.

For languages that only allow non ascii in string literals a pure state machine would suffice.

Not sure why you're mentioning parsers. At that point you you're dealing with tokens.

As for UTF-16 it's an ugly hack that never should have existed in the first place. Unfortunately the unicode people had to fix their UCS-2 mistake.

Since Javascript is standardised to be either UCS-2 or UTF-16 it probably made sense to make the scanner use UTF-16.

This can be solved with for example IPFS.
When you download a file you also make it accessible to others.

This means that reverse scaling effect kicks in. The more popular the file is the less people access it from original source.
This sounds nice, except that the only kinds of dependencies are files (e.g. variables are excluded), and the dependencies should be mentioned explicitly, or things get ugly, especially when using non-standard compilers/tools.
This debate happens on HN again and again, but still: what privacy are you talking about in public space? Nobody has a problem with one person with a dashcam — why suddenly connecting these dashcams to a network that shares information is a problem?
Notice how in the article nothing is "built", all that happens is an npm install. It sounds like make is used to manage a project and perhaps do things like running unit tests, pushing code to stage/qa/prod, fetch data from remote hosts to test locally, running linters and code analysis tools, generating assets, and many more.

Is make the right tool for executing such tasks? Well, it's not bad for some I guess, and ok if this one project is all you have.
Just teach everyone to use dd instead - dd if=file of=file.dup :-)
How do you breathe? How do turn rounds? I guess it's doable for the last 25 meters or so, but the rest of the routine may be faster overall as it's easier to combine with efficient turning and you know catching a breath

I presume that the system would simply indicate the proportion of times that a vehicle is seen driving and performing a dodgy manoeuvre. If I'm seen on the roads 1,000 times and seen performing a dodgy lane change once (and I would like to apologise to the Mondeo driver on the A21 yesterday), that's the fact that should be recorded.

> For the tests the check types of values, that's just a dumb test that you shouldn't write regardless of the language.

The thing is, almost all the tests you'd write in a dynamic language end up being something you can encode into the types of values.

You could combine individual minimalism with communal sharing of seldom-used stuff. I hope technology will make this a little easier as time goes on, if only to combat loneliness in many parts of society.
You mean write proprietary software? I refuse to do that.

To be fair, I have contributed code to Apache licensed projects (and in fact I maintain one). It still annoys me that it's not GPL licensed (the annoyance doesn't go the other way around for me, I am not annoyed when a project is GPL licensed).
It is not so much fun if you cannot see the swimmers...
So, we have established that sports have rules, but why should freestyle swimming prohibit this style of swimming?
Making backups more granular means you remove sets of backups (or you collapse incremental backups). If a new backup causes corruption to back-propogate then it's not a backup.

It's about the intention.

In Civil Law jurisdictions (like the Netherlands) the intention is a very important part of a contract. It's like a secret: laymen think they have to read the contract carefully and not to believe the promises. Mostly this is true because of difficulties of proof. It is often impossible to claim intentions after the fact.

However if you have proof (for example countersigned own notes), the judge doesn't have qualms to change the contract wording to conform to intentions. I am studying law, and one old famous case in Germany of the twenties last century has been presented in private contract law: There was a mutual agreement to buy whale meat from Norway. In the contract it was about «Haakjöringsköd». However this was a mutual misunderstanding. Haakjöringsköd is shark meat. The judge decided that the contract is about whale meat, not shark meat.

No again. It's about syndicalism. Modern monarchism is structurally capital enterprise. Always has been. Antiquity talks to this. You have hierarchy, autocracy, authoritarian systems... that's capitalism - combining it with statecraft and religion, you get monarchism

Calling Nazism, democracies, socialism, and monarchism the same thing is about as useful a classification as calling them nouns.

It sounds like you think a system free from government would be free from coercion.

As if places in actual war, without government, is free from coercion or as if the natural animal kingdom with its dog eats dog nature is free from coercion.

Almost as if you're making the fanciful objectivist argument where everyone is pathological and greedy, but also upstanding and moral...
The refusal of so many people in this industry to learn a pretty simple and incredibly fundamental tool frustrates me no end.

I guess this article could be worse: the number of times I see people reimplement poorly thought out clones of make and present them as the new thing that everyone should use is just absurd.
No :/ Thank you both for your suggestions though, they are appreciated :) If it helps it had the same sort of feel as the Mill architecture, in that it was a small project being developed by very enthusiastic people.
If you are only sending one letter per year, then maybe you should just buy smaller packs, even if they are little more expensive. On other hand you probably have drawers full of useless stuff. Clean out one for things you need, but not very often, like stamps, letters, tape, scissors, etc.

Nail trimmers can live in your bathroom shelf with your soap and shampoo. Then you only need toilet paper, which should be easy to store in any bathroom.

If you need formal shoes often then storing single extra pair (assuming you just have summer and winter shoes, one pair each) isn't a big deal, but more often than not you need formal shoes so rarely that you might as well rent them for the occasion.

Main idea is to get rid of the stuff that doesn't matter and keep only the stuff that does matter and you get use out of. Sure at the moment sink plunger might not give you joy as a thing, but it sure does when your sink clogs.

hashPassword, _ := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword([]byte(password), bcrypt.DefaultCost)

_, err = db.Exec("INSERT INTO users(usrname, password) VALUES(?, ?)", username, password)

I'm not a Go expert. Doesn't this:

1) ignore an error, if any? And then

2) ignore hashPassword and just insert the non-hashed password into the database?

It looks like if someone follows along from home they'll get a syntax error from "usrname" but let's say they fixed that...

The code at the bottom of the article doesn't seem to suffer from the latter issue, but still suffers from the former.

The SQLite guy were ridiculously responsive and added all sorts of tests around the fix.

You can now change the prefix for your recipes by setting the .RECIPEPREFIX special variable (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Special-V...).

Agreed. What an arrogant attitude especially considering their Macbook Pro (2015) recently had a corruption bug which necessitated a firmware update:
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1830?locale=en_GB

Good checksumming to detect bit rot is exactly what is needed since as an owner of said laptop I have NO idea whether any of my data was affected.

If Apple want to say 'the majority of our devices are mobile and checksumming puts a large performance overhead' then that's one thing. But to claim it's not needed is just plain wrong and makes me worry that Apple's product managers sit in an echo chamber hearing only what they want to hear.
One thing that this article skates over is that many Japanese apartments - especially in Tokyo - are absolutely tiny and space is really at a Premium.

In the apartment I stayed in, one of the bay windows had been converted into a wardrobe, my washer/dryer was on the balcony outside, and the 'kitchen' consisted of a basin and a camping stove. I wonder how much of this minimalism is borne out of necessity.
This is eery.

I haven't played a QW game in maybe 10 or even 15 years, and haven't really encountered a reference to it recently either (that I remember), but I actually had a dream last night about QW. Things changed was that every player model was replaced with what I can only describe as a starcraft siege tank, but the physics/rockets/gameplay was still pure QW (including jumping). The map was DM6.

I spent six months travelling and working remotely recently, in Japan, Taiwan and Australia. I only had a carry on suitcase and I never missed anything.

I'm now back in London and after two weeks I have bought at least three small suitcases worth of new things. It's amazing how quickly things pile up. Once I had the space I started accumulating possessions. I go into shops and come out with things I didn't know I needed.
Looks like Javascript source code is required to be processed as UTF-16:

ECMAScript source text is represented as a sequence of characters in the Unicode character encoding, version 3.0 or later. [...] ECMAScript source text is assumed to be a sequence of 16-bit code units for the purposes of this specification. [...] If an actual source text is encoded in a form other than 16-bit code units it must be processed as if it was first converted to UTF-16.

It is surprising the paper makes no comparisons with GPUs. So I will do it.

For starters it looks like they are talking about integer operations (I only skimmed the paper and it mentions an ALU, not an FPU), whereas my GPU numbers below are single precision floating point numbers. So it is apples vs oranges.

So, a modern 14-16nm GPU like the Tesla P100 or RX 480 does about 5 to 10 trillion ops/sec at 200-300 W, and approximately 30 pJ/op. So GPUs are about 5x less power efficient. The paper authors did a good job. However GPUs are not optimized for absolute power efficiency, but mostly for performance per $.

I think it was GreenArrays. Although in my searching Adapteva also seemed like it, but GreenArrays seems like the more likely candidate, plus it's come up more often here. I'll have to check when I get back on my desktop. Thanks much!
I needed 1 envelope last month. It was 1 PLN (0.3 USD) at nearest street shop (kiosk). I don't think they lose money on that. I also bought a pen there for another 1 PLN.

They mostly sell cigarettes, newspapers, chewing gum and tickets, but they keep some envelopes, empty DVDs, pens, lighters, etc - it's not going to expire and they have huge markup, so why not?

Are there no small shops in your country?
