OpenWRT/LEDE will happily work on a system with 4MB of storage:

https://www.lede-project.org

QNX had a graphical environment, a web browser, a web server, a text editor, image viewer, various games, a package manager, etcetera on a 1.44MB floppy:

Less is definitely more, but you do not need a Unikernel to achieve such sizes and you lose observably by going with a Unikernel. If something goes wrong with your application such as it becoming non-responsive, you need to attach gdb or get a core dump like a kernel developer would to understand what happened. Your production systems that are likely EC2 instances that lack such functionality, which means debugging is much harder with a unikernels than it would have been with a monolithic, hybrid or micro kernel. Furthermore, disk space is cheap, which is why few opt for OpenWRT/LEDE over more full featured Linux distributions in datacenters.

If you want the experience of a single address space and little more code than your application, you could run FreeDOS, which also fits on a floppy and has a code base that is mature. There are guides for doing this online. Here is one for doing a web server:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Retro-dos-web-server/?ALLSTE...

The world moved away from such designs because the observability and stability were awful. We might have "safe" languages now that improve stability of the application, but those could just run as a process in an environment where proper debugging can be done when something goes wrong. The few percentage points of performance that you get from eliminating the mechanisms that enable you to understand what went wrong do not out justify discarding them.

Also, you lose the advantage of a shared memory pool with unikernels, which are generally intended to run in VMs. Partitioning memory in VMs causes internal fragmentation, which artificially lowers the density of applications per machine. It also can lower block IO efficiency from double caching between the host and guest. Hardware virtualization is a useful technology, but it is an inefficiency that we need to eliminate with containers, rather than one that we should to embrace with unikernels.
Back in the day, pre-torrent/p2p, we used to use hacked boxes to distribute our pirated materials over FTP. If you are lucky and find a stable box, it could last 1-2 years, though that was a pretty rare find. Most machines didn't last more than a month at most.

I have a name for that, but that’s because I did all my university course work with a guy who could not compute statistics without burning a very big one. He had 12 minutes of brain left after he was done smoking, and what I said stopped making sense to him passed that limit, like clock-work. “Sorry, gotta smoke for that conversation” was his signal he was happy to talk about improving our latest model, but… he needed psychotropic help for that.

9 Mobile Trends You Need to Know from Mary Meeker’s Internet Trends Report 2016
Unfalsifiability was a philosophical breakthrough first, and it is now the de facto test to see if an idea has any real world consequence.

To say philosophers should focus on unfalsifiable ideas is to say philosophers should be antipragmatic and inconsequential. One could easily argue that many are, but to encourage it? That's not necessary.

We need to focus on everything, and think about everything. We shouldn't ask "our philosophers" to "think" about things. We should all learn how to think and become better philosophers for ourselves, and find a way to openly contribute the progress of our thoughts.
Agreed. One of their first tag lines was, "We Set The Standrd." It's in their DNA to avoid conforming to standards they didn't define.
I would think that really depends on the school and the person. When I was at University of Chicago, I knew a 16-year-old girl who had been homeschooled, and she had tons of friends and fit in really well. On the other hand, I was 17 and much less social and well-adapted (and I went to 12 years of public school).

I don't know if a 16-year-old would fit in as well at a big party school where they'd never be able to partake in much of the social scene (legally), though.
Why do women leave engineering?
Yahoo derailed Tumblr? Ok, sure.

Just remember where it was when Yahoo acquired it.. $13m in revenue and $25m in expenses for 2012 (net loss of $12m for the year). With $125m raised, and $114m of debt on the books.

Yahoo acquired them just a few months after they announced these results for 2012.

It's easy to blame Yahoo for Tumblr's problems.. but Tumblr wasn't Twitter or Instagram. It was a tiny business (in comparison).. that without Yahoo very well could have been out of business by now.

A lot of software developers are are also business people. They focus and make decisions based on the needs of the organization, given the local job market, current staffing, past investments, the future roadmap of whatever product they are working on, etc. If PHP is the best route, then that's not something a business person is going to spend a lot of time worrying about.

In many ways, if a "coder" comes in and starts wanting to change a bunch of things purely because they are opinionated about languages, then that person is not going to go very far.
Tesla: the path to domination
Very cool. As you're thinking about unsupervised or semi-supervised deep learning, consider medical data sets as a potential domain.

ImageNet has 1,034,908 labeled images. In a hospital setting, you'd be lucky to get 1000 participants.

That means those datasets really show off the power of unsupervised, semi-supervised, or one-shot learning algorithms. And if you set up the problem well, each increment of ROC translates into a life saved.

Happy to point you in the right direction when the time comes—my email is in my HN profile.

I appreciate the level of detail the author gave about each incident, given that in a lot no one or few people were harmed. I've seen similar (more dishonest) articles that claim that there's never even been one case, because they only count mass shootings as above 4 deaths/injuries or something similar. In reality, most of the time the citizen stops the shooter they get that far.

Replies were HEAVILY used by my part of the Tumblr community, and the changes to them really screwed things up for us. Like I said, lots of use cases for the site.

I certainly don't feel on the whole that tumblr was better when I stopped using it than it was when I started. Even if that is true now, it wasn't true for a long time, so my argument remains the same: its decline is due to inadequate tech work for a long period of time.
Python's unittest with Robert Collins
I've been told that they changed the structure (and this may explain the optimisation), but back when I was going regularly to Geneva, the security conveyors were just 2, narrow and really small. It was a joke of a system, and no doubt they could wait times in half: it was horrible to start with, specially for a decently sized airport like Geneva.

On the flip side, with income-based repayment you are paying 10% of your discretionary income for 20 years or so. Depending on what your salary ends up being this might not be so bad.

Ask HN: Do you judge/profile people based on their email address?
I don't treat friends differently based on their email address (though I may ask them at some point why they use a less-common provider). In dealing with customers, I note when someone uses a provider that is more common among less tech-savvy folks (AOL, hotmail), but if anything I treat them nicer (explain in more detail).

I'm sure other people have different experiences based on their age (I'm mid-30s) and their location (I understand Hotmail was the norm in many countries, though it never was in the US).

What leads you to +1 or -1? Has profiling ever led to particularly good or bad results (properly identified or mistakenly pigeon-holed someone)?
I had transitioned from the ads team quite a while before that, if I recall correctly, I was on ads from February 2013 through January 2014 - that's around the time things were transitioning to the Yahoo ads platform. I left Tumblr October 2015, so have even less insight now :)

My grandfather was hit by this. We never determined conclusively how it happened, but putting together what they knew and what they didn't (they = the attackers), I strongly believe that an insider at the care facility my grandmother was staying at either was the attacker or provided key family information (names, etc) to the attacker, who then used Google, etc, to do additional research.

The attacker knew quite a lot about me (but all stuff publicly researchable) and was very convincing. It was quite disturbing.

How are so you sure that a feature you never used is better than it was before it changed? Even if I'd never used tumblr, I would find this response to be incredible, in the original sense of the word.

Replies are so bad that I don't use tumblr anymore. They used to just load in a normal HTML page, but now you get a page with lots of suggested posts, and some sort of pop-over with replies that's too slow to really be usable even on my brand new iPhone. It's usable on desktop if you want to wait a few seconds for enough CSS and javascript to load that the pop-over shows up, and then scroll through and read a long list of replies.
As someone who's been familiar with them since before their association with the Republican party, their platform goals are what they typically donate towards.

Marijuana legalization / decriminalization, marriage equality, cancer research, arts, the Smithsonian, PBS' Nova, open borders, school choice, and free market principles. Yes, they donate to Republicans, and no, I don't know why. Also worth noting, they used to donate to Democrats more than they do now, and most of the 'big names' in the Democratic world (Hillary, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, et al) are recipients of Koch donations.

It's definitely possible that they're also spending for nefarious purposes, but I suspect that it depends more on predisposed ideology, or ideology on the role of PACs in society as to whether or not you view them that way.

Most top Hospitals in USA have high quality data on Millions of patients the legal and bureaucratic challenges to sharing those datasets are insurmountable.

You're right that the barrier to open hardware is very high, but I hope that open firmware may at least help mitigate, if not solve, this problem.
