We are, of course, already arranging everything in 3D before a restaurant is even built. That's what architecture is. But being able to actually understand the spatial feel of a space is an absolute game-changer, both for the design process and especially for communicating design decisions to clients.

VR is unquestionably going to be ubiquitous in the architecture industry before the year is out.
what did you intern as, at Apple?
Also, Fedora is the incubator for the GNOME and FreeDesktop projects. It's not just that it is bleeding edge, but it is the distribution used by the developers behind these projects. Fedora releases are essentially synced to new releases of GNOME, so if you're a GNOME user like me it may be a good choice if you always want the latest and greatest.
> it is a niche technology because it works against human physiology

I'm not sure I agree. Many complained of motion sickness playing early FPS games, such as DooM or Descent. I wouldn't be surprised if it just takes an equilibration period to get used to the devices. Either way, unless there is actual research that shows a large portion of the population actually has difficulty adapting to the device, I don't believe the tech is fundamentallying flawed.
Announcing End-To-End Encryption for Docker Volumes
It depends. If the purpose is to prevent access to customer data not authorized by the customer then it's ok. If you do it to further the interests of anyone other than your customer it's unethical.
I agree. I am happy writing code in Ruby: NLP stuff, Sinatra light weight web apps, and short text handling utilities.

I also use Haskell, Java, Common Lisp, and Clojure (and Python for machine learning libraries) but I am happiest working in Ruby.
It adds a lot of complication for some use cases, but I bet you'd find it isn't the common use cases (though who's to say what would be common in five years?).
You say that you don't like coffee: have you tried green tea? There's plenty of caffeine in normal green tea, and even more so in the like of Kabusecha or Gyokuro. Though I'm not sure I would recommend the latter for everyday consumption: it really has a lot of caffeine in it.

Black tea should work too. I personally don't like it much unless it comes with a heavy does of something else to mask the taste... but if you like it go for it!
App That Claims It Can Find Migrants Adrift in Ocean, Is Called Misleading
I know this doesn't help you now but usually it is best to wait for the .1 release of a new LTS (in this case, 16.04.1) before updating from the previous one.

I did a test upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 on a workstation that I didn't care about and it was an unmitigated disaster of broken packages.
Hey fiatjaf, because it's part of a larger product that includes several interactive elements, the mods thought it should be a Show HN. :)
I don't understand where you're going with this at all. The decision-making I outlined depends on net worth, and you didn't specify whether I'm rich or poor. The decision-making I outlined says to never try to make money at a casino, because the expected returns are negative.

But if I assume I'm rich, and I spend my $1K at the casino... well I probably have some alcohol and have fun, so great? I still have tons of money left?? I'm really not sure what this is supposed to demonstrate.

If I'm poor then I lose it all and I'm sad because I needed that money.

The very fact that you call it a "get rich" fund is totally against my argument. I said you should not use risky bets to try to get rich. Only risk your money if you can spare the money. (And only risk your money on things with high expected returns, duh.)
People often suggest that we should be teaching programming in primary/elementary school to kids.

I'm skeptical that that would encourage kids to code. This opinion is particularly espoused by politicians who can't code but want to be seen as technically progressive.

I think part of loving programming is discovering it on your own and seeking it out. Events/Sessions like this and CoderDojo that we have here in Ireland are more effective at evangelising kids to code because it endows a greater sense of autonomy to the individual that what you get in a classroom and I think thats a more conducive environment to encourage coding.
Which IDE do you use? I have been messing around with alchemist on emacs but the learning curve is pretty steep (i'm not an emacs guru).

It wasn't nikesh, marissa, vic, larry or sergey that was important. It was the idea of google.

> - it comes from teams.

Even if you moved the entire team to softbank, it's not going to change much. Google was the right idea at the right time. Has nothing to do with "culture,people,etc". Lots of tech companies have the culture of google.

In other words, somebody has to be google, somebody has to be facebook, apple, microsoft, etc. We just think that some people have some magical secret or some magical talent. But it's just a simple matter of somebody having to win and everyone else having to lose.
That's what module systems and access modifiers are for.

Now, OK, the JVM ecosystem lacks a good module system at the moment. But Java 9 will fix that. There is also OSGi though I don't know much about it.

Did you try the RPMFusion packages for the nVidia drivers? Typically you just need to install akmod-nvidia or whatever it is called and it just works, but I've been running AMD and Intel GPU's with sufficient open source driver support for so long I've not needed to deal with this in a long time.

Nothing "religious" about that observation; quite the opposite, in fact.

In particular: it's not so much whether the tool "works" or not, but the side effects (how well it plays with other tools; and hence, the extent to which it can be integrated into larger, maintainable projects) that need to taken into consideration, also. Which is why better engineers detect more than a whiff of bad "design smell" when they hear someone say "just use Excel" (most of the time).

Super excited for this release.

I have to say that learning and using Elixir has been more pleasant than any other language I have ever worked with. Code is easy to follow due to the functional nature of the language, and the community is one of the best out there.

The applications I've written and deployed have been more stable and fault-tolerant than anything else I've ever done, and I've yet to have any performance issues with the language in production.

Yeah that almost sounds like they drowned a nugget of meat in sauce. Could he even taste the meat? Why not an actual plain, grilled meat test?
I must be one lucky bastard then - it seems that I can't get addicted to almost anything, be it cigarettes, alcohol, or energy drinks. I did have once a alcohol problem, but I can hardly call that addiction.

I like coffee a lot, but I don't crave it, and recently I had cut it out completely - my blood pressure got out of control, and once I almost fainted in the office (I had 160/100). Getting rid of stress, coffee, and a blood donation did wonders.
So this gets into the difference between the rhetoric about smart contracts, and what they actually do. Obviously a smart contract can't ensure that an auction winner or crowdfunder gets the item. At best there could be some kind of reputation system. But to enforce something in the real world, you'd have to get an actual court involved. The smart contract removes the need to have an auctioneer running the auction and handling funds, that's all.

But that still means that, for example, when I'm trying to implement a new variant on crowdfunding, I can write the whole backend in several pages of code and just publish it, instead of renting servers, administering databases, signing up with a payment provider and having to comply with its terms of service.

An example of a vault is this scheme: http://hackingdistributed.com/2016/02/26/how-to-implement-se...

...which some researchers proposed for Bitcoin, saying it'd be "easy" to implement with a hard fork adding a new opcode. I implemented the same scheme in a smart contract and it took 20 minutes.

Sports betting needs third-party data, but casino games don't.
Meat that you buy in a store, including ground beef, doesn't have blood in it. The red color is almost entirely myoglobin, not so much hemoglobin. Your burger doesn't bleed. What comes out is just water with some protein including myoglobin.
I don't think it was hyperbole and I am being 100% serious. You make a good case that PARC contributed $35+ trillion in value, of which Xerox was only able to capture a portion.

If we extrapolate out an exponential trend from forty years ago, a quadrillion seems like it might be about right. If I'm doing my math correctly, it is only about $100k value/person. Companies will soon be doing $1 trillion in annual revenue, so an 1000x multiplier doesn't seem out of question.

I guess my question is: what needs to be done to realize, operate, and maintain the enormous potential? But, maybe it is just something that happens as a result of the changes?

Since those are proxy caches, they don't provide repeatable builds. The referred to release can be changed without your knowledge and Nexus will happily serve that to you as correct.
No kidding. I sold mine shortly after and because of the removal of OtherOS. I certainly don't have the serial number or proof that I used OtherOS (who possibly could?).
> More specifically if I want to run a big web app in production there are no suitable microkernels or exokernels to do so now.

Windows NT is a hybrid kernel[1], so there's somewhat conflicting evidence.

Really, I think I could make an argument that the reason a microkernel hasn't gained popularity is because there's far too much focus on performance to the detriment of security and stability in much of the last few decades program development, much less OS development. People aren't good at correctly estimating risk and reward for future events that are more than a few years out, and worse when the risk is abstract in nature.

Would everything be running slower if we used microkernels for the majority of systems? Probably (but who knows by how much? If there was a lot more work focused on that problem, we might have ways to alleviate much of it by now). Would our systems be more secure and less prone to software errors? I think so. Do I think it's possible we as a culture (species?) could choose stability and security over performance? Not without enforcement negative consequences when developers supply buggy and/or exploitable code, and consequences for those companies that choose to run that code even if they are carefully advised on the possible consequences. So, not likely, and that's a huge discussion in itself.

How to Ensure That Your Website Is Launch-Ready
IIRC ~all is the recommendation because hotmail/live told people to use ~all to prevent hardfails when hotmail's lookups timed out or if a particular mailserver IP was inaccessible during spam checks.

~all will result in your email being bounced around until accepted even if the IP doesn't match DNS records (more or less).

-all will result in hardfail if rejected by any TO mailserver.
It would also be an incredibly valuable, long-lasting learning experience for the entire community, especially the ~23,000 who put money into TheDAO. Bitcoin had this in its early years and resulted in a highly critical, street-smart community. Ethereum community has been more on the risk-taking experimental side b/c until recently they had no real money at stake. Now that they've crossed that boundary, the ethos and attitude needs to catch up to the reality.

Ugh, I think I upvoted this by clicking on the icon to the left that looked like it would collapse it. For the record, I do not agree with or support this comment.
He did say it was about the texture, which is really the hard part in imitating beef. He also mentioned the flavor was a little weaker than normal beef.
Not that you should do it too much since traversing arrays (lists) is expensive, but http://elixir-lang.org/docs/stable/elixir/Enum.html#at/3 gives you the ability to grab arbitrarily.
This makes sense, but I guess I just don't see much practical utility beyond what is already achievable and less prone to security flaws with bitcoin. There just doesn't seem to be much useful code that can come out of "money as variables in a program" since just about everything related to how humans intend to distribute money hinges on the facts of the real world for which the program must rely on humans to input.
Arch hasn't been using rc.conf for quite some time. It uses systemd and all the complexity that involves, just like every other major distribution.
This is good news, since a few tooling improvements have made it back to the Erlang ecosystem in general (and to lfe.io in particular, which I prefer over Elixir).
There are many developers looking for a good job. There are many companies having difficulty finding qualified developers.

Our goal is to solve those problems, and it is not a zero-sum game.
Thanks I must have missed that.
I wasn't arguing that one should use Excel. I wasn't arguing that you shouldn't use Excel either. I was arguing the exact same point you just made - you should use the appropriate tool for the job.

Excel is a great tool for manipulating data, especially if you are working with other people. Excel produces serviceable graphs, but if you need to produce a graph of any sort of complexity (and know how to program) R is certainly a better tool. Sometimes you need a quick visualization of some very simple data. I'd prefer to use Excel rather than R or Python at that point.
Bad example. If you want to embed that string in your code you have to type those 6 characters anyways.

A better example is if you want to find a newline in a string. If you do a find it in a UTF-16 string it may be position 8 and a find in UTF-8 may be position 12. Does it matter what the actual number is? NO. You just pass it to the next function or whatever.

I've been really, really into https://dynalist.io/ since discovering it last week. It's basically Workflowy plus LaTeX and Markdown (huge!) support, which solves 100% of the issues I have with Workflowy. There's also options to create folders and organize like that, and not just have one root tree from which you make sections. Highly recommended if you're like me and love just puking out notes all day on virtually everything in your life.
IMO they need to not only replicate flavor, but also macro nutrient profiles and a few other things like omega3s and CLA found in grass fed beef.

I think we're better off cleaning up the meat industry than trying to make plants into meat. Fixing things like CAFOs and our corn subsidies could go a long way to a more sustainable meat.
The same can be said for screen clipping an Excel graph, which can be done at any point, and there's an additional bonus in that the layperson can see and manipulate the data as well. It's a(n admittedly poor) self-contained document that anyone can poke at, versus an image that only the anointed can recreate with different data. For better or for worse.
This is just speculation, but since I think it was installed in a special partition, perhaps there's some logging at the OS that could help demonstrate it, and Sony can release a tool for the PS3 that users can run to get some special ID and submit.

Though, given the poor excuse for remediation, I don't have strong hopes for any such tool.

From a lay person's perspective, this is a ridiculous settlement - if there's a way to detect if it was used, Sony should be required to issue a refund for the full price at the time of sale. Putting aside people looking for an easy paycheck, the few who actually were tinkering with the OtherOS option (and the labs who used it, since there were a few iirc), deserve to have a refund. $55 is hardly just given the offense and the cost to the buyers.
I wouldn't consider Google Glass to be real "AR", but just a small HUD, it doesn't really map your environment. I'd consider Hololens true AR, it too has a long way to go, but as I said businesses can fill the void between now and then...with VR, what use does it have in business? I would argue very little to none.

Adding heme is a brilliant idea - and I think high amounts of iron would make it a great product. There are a few things that are important to watch to make sure you get enough of when you're a vegetarian, and iron is one of them. (Women who donate blood have their blood tested for iron, and are sometimes surprised the learn that they're low in iron.)
You can accomplish that by doing preliminary research.

People have personal projects, accounts in social networks, personal blogs. Make a short list of candidates than go digging. You can soon get a good idea of their abilities and how far they are progressed on their professional evolution path.

That research will also quickly tell you if someone is a jerk. Read what they say and how they are saying it and you will learn all you need to know about their social skills. It's a more precise test than an artificial environment of a face-to-face interview when everyone tries to play an all-around nice person. But the thing is, you can't be a nice person 9-to-5 and a complete jerk in your off-hours. A jerk is always a jerk. Better observe them in the wild when they feel nobody's watching them and they can behave naturally.

It also works the other way. I sometimes encounter overall rude people online who share in passing what company they are employed at. I always try to remember the name to not mistakenly end up there.
I'm just not expecting anything that will compare with my R9 390, that's all.

It's not going to be very interesting, but the entire lists of NYC residents who got handgun and long gun licenses was published a while ago, less than 60K each for a city of 8 million (I counted the totals myself, easy with a fixed number per all but the first and last pages).

Also check the Federal government statistics as organized by the US gun industry lobby, the National Shooting Sports Federation: http://nssf.com/ Look up the ammo production and importation numbers, well over 12 billion per year, and I'm not sure which include the seconds from the DoD Lake City plant that ATK sells to us (the Pitman-Robinson point of sale tax data will).

Maybe also check the raw numbers of concealed carry licenses, the GAO publishes these, but 10 states now don't require a license. I'll add that at the local level of my home county, Jasper in Missouri, as of a year and a half ago, 5% of the age eligible population had a $$$ Missouri concealed carry license ("$$$" because our's is one of the most expensive, and any state's will do if you want to save money). All these numbers are rapidly increasing as the population ages, as well as the other obvious reasons.

I've long felt that the utility of learning to code was less about vocational training but more about analytical thinking.

I would definitely like to try the products (another reason to make a trip back to Colorado).

Lots of questions long term though. Is this the "Ethanol of Meat" ? Where the total cost/impact of producing the good overwhelms the benefits? Ground chuck roast is $7/lb and currently this stuff is more expensive than that. Can it be less expensive than that? Way less expensive?

The fundamental question is does this move us toward a more efficient use of the resources we have to feed us, or is it more the high tech / high energy lifestyle? I am always wondering is this this increasing the kilowatt / person ratio or decreasing it.

In Java-land, you could also just have your client and service use the same interface. Just inject different implementations for local and remote.
