Only stunning if you're totally invested in the status quo and can't conceive of any alternative reality where the people who haven't benefited from your schemes finally call you to task.

I may be fundamentally misunderstanding what infrastructure software is, but it sounds an awful lot like a bandaid that's only necessary because our operating systems are all designed for the computing problems of 25 years ago.

That poster doesn't seem to be calling for anyone to lose their job or have their life ruined by using the term they don't like.

Instead, the poster is saying that they just aren't listening anymore.
It seems true on OS X and Linux. I'm not sure if it's 100% statically linked, or if it depends on a particular version of glibc on Linux. Edit: I would check, but I'm not close to a linux box.

I haven't tried it on Windows.

The download instructions say it depends on libffi, libgmp and zlib, which I didn't realise, plus some other tools (gcc, etc.) which I assume are for building packages that wrap C libraries.

> Which rules are you talking about?

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/ALL/?uri=OJ%3AC%3A...

http://europa.eu/eu-law/index_en.htm

The Constitution for Europe alone is more than 400 pages. For comparison, the US Constitution is about 10. (Unfortunately the US legal code is probably as lengthy and baroque as the EU's by this point.)

> For the common market to exist (i.e. to drive economic unification) you need unified regulation.

No, you don't. Global markets existed before the EU and didn't need "unified regulation" (meaning regulation by politicians and bureaucrats, as opposed to regulation by the ordinary process of voluntary trade) in order to work. This idea that the only way to have common markets is by lengthy, boring political regulation is precisely the misconception I am arguing against.
"Software rot" stems from the world around the software changing in a way the software is unable to adapt to, and breaking it.
Here is an example: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/johnla/2015/09/26/the-in...

BTW, in case you don't know, Windows provides "public symbols" that has things like function names but lack things like local variable names.

No, they don't. They only need to agree on what is being traded and at what price.
Software patents and copyrights have been pushed through the EU back door. I guess it happens in other areas too, but I'm not following them.

"Harmonizing" of rules tends to take away rights from the general public - much more often than it does to give them.

I'll never be sure if this is true, but it will be in my memory... User robinalden is the CTO, who I tweeted ~2h before the response was posted (https://twitter.com/viraptor/status/746138644537237504). Given that he only posted 13 times on those forums, I hope I actually caused him to ask Melih what he's doing :)
I use grades to express both relative strength and objective performance. Here's how I do it:

1. The individual grade a student receives on each component of a course is a reflection of their mastery. These grades are not force-ranked or subject to a curve. Therefore, the student may draw conclusions from each grade about opportunities to improve.

2. The overall grade a student receives for the course is force-ranked. I strive for a distribution of no more than 25% A's, and no more than 50% B's. This grade is therefore a reflection of a student's relative class standing, and not necessarily their actual mastery.

> Why are the other countries much less worried about (legal) migration?

Don't generalise. Some of these countries are very worried as well. And if they are given the chance to vote, the results would be certainly similar - see the recent (EU unrelated) politic votes in those countries.
"The lasting effect, however, may be political, and with global implications. If the economic shocks continue, then the British experiment will serve as a warning. But if they abate, then populist movements in other countries will gain momentum."

How can you claim that it's the will of all developers to be unemployed?
We're talking about freedom of movement between countries. A state is not a country. Why shouldn't all countries be like states? We can all hum John Lennon's Imagine there's no countries but I'm not sure how that actually works. I'm sure you can at least see some difficulty there and definitely there is a strong sentiment in parts of the US against this vision.

Why shouldn't Canada and the USA be the same? Why shouldn't Mexico, and Nicaragua, and Venezuela, and Brazil, and the USA, and Canada be the same?

If you want to move to Montreal or Mexico City or Beijing you can't just pack your bags and go. You can still sell something to all these places, manufacture them in all these places, etc. At least generally speaking.

Ummm that means economically it's all ok, just a bit or nervousness on the markets. Sooooo they made a ok decision but not yours so it's bad?

If there's some sort of morality outside of economics then he should have spelt it out. Britain can still allow immigrants so not sure what this is supposed to mean.
It's definitely the case that remainers are better informed.
Interesting. Although I have always just assumed that since I need a social security number to open any kind of account in the US that the IRS already knows how much I have in the bank.

Probably you'd end up with this:

foo->bar(foo,arg1,arg2)

It's not as simple-looking, but that isn't all bad. It's very clear what is going on. The overhead isn't hidden.

Things needing call-back functions need to support an extra void* of course, and sadly it is often left out.

Understanding how compilers translate C into assembly is a skill that must be practiced. I suggest getting in the habit of looking at the binary. After a while, you will know what to expect. The optimizers are not magic. They do fairly predictable transformations on the code. You can get a feel for when hand-optimization matters, and when it is just pointless. An awareness of cache lines and TLB entries is helpful too.
Something like https://studio.azureml.net/ ? It has both visual composition and API.
Nix supports CMake fine. In my experience adding new packages is not too hard as long as they're not GnuCash 2.6 ;)

Any change will lead to a new output folder, there is no option of reusing them.

Why not just give it a try in VirtualBox to see for yourself how far along it is?
The market continues to do a lot of culling, yes, but some commercial software is great.

Look at the Jetbrains products. They make many open source IDEs feel janky, broken, and non-cohesive in comparison. Some problems aren't solved eloquently by being loosely community owned; sometimes you need a paid, focused group.
Too many compliments? Anyway.

If the worker cannot move to the factory, the factory moves to the worker.

That is the way of the world, and it causes many problems.

Those problems need solutions. But I'm not convinced that getting rid of migrants will improve things. For the most part it just changes the place "where stuff happens".

We had this revolution in the UK, and yet unemployment is at record lows[1]. Aren't migrants taking jobs?
(Not sure about earnings though.)

I feel like "rot" is the wrong term, and the right term might come from that old parable about the man who built his house on the sand rather than the rock.
Linux CVE-2016-4997 (local privilege escalation) and CVE-2016-4998
Yeah, there's a learning curve. No doubt about that.

It does sound like nix is a good fit for your use case. You could certainly create separate environments each with a slightly different build of OpenCV. They'd share dependencies where possible, but not step on each other where they differ.

Nix provides a tool called the standard environment (stdenv), which makes compiling classical unix software pretty easy. It assumes the typical download, configure, compile, install sequence and provides the right environment to make that work. It's really flexible, with lots of hooks that let you override the default behaviour and customize the build. The Nix manual has a pretty good overview of it. https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#chap-stdenv
There really shouldn't be any trouble finding people with security clearances to be on the jury. If anything, this is a far superior "jury of peers". It's people who do the same sort of work.
It's fine to build a tool for the sake of building, but if you want to present it as effort-saving you need to compare it to what you can buy if you know where to look.
Personal attack is not an argument.
> but hey, who would have thought Trump could win the the Republican nomination half a year ago?!

Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) did, and has been blogging about the reasons why for quite some time (http://blog.dilbert.com). Based on those same reasons, he also predicts a win for Trump in the general election.

Whether you agree with his points or not, he definitely provides some interesting food for thought (beyond just rah, rah, Trump, Make America Great Again, etc).

It can be difficult though - Japan has been trying hard to devalue but as a safe-haven they keep getting thwarted by criseses happening around them causing people to pour in more investment.
The phrase "stunning coup" for a major, usually unexpected, success for the party pulling it off (and often an upsetting one for opponents) is common and does not derive from the use of "coup" as short for the phrase "coup d'etat".

So it's not surprising at all.
I… I just got corrected by Walter Bright.

That's true. You actually can write an RTOS in D, and it would still be more pleasant than in C (thanks to D's excellent metaprogramming). The problem I have with opt-out GC in D is that it leaves you with very little else as far as memory safety goes—you have RAII, but nothing like Rust or Cyclone or other languages that are explicitly safe without a GC. You can leak, you can crash, you can have race conditions, etc, almost as easily as in C. Some sort of D version of unique_ptr would get you part of the way there, but it's still not as complete as Rust.
They do have a firewall with a default deny policy, but due to an overlooked configuration issue and a miscommunication on the network team, it failed to include this server (and this server only).

"They should have auditors to make sure that doesn't happen!", you might say. Well, they do. That's how they caught it.

No matter how much someone wants to pretend their process is perfect, the fact is that in practice, simple, embarrassing mistakes can and do happen. Facebook is a company packed with many competent software, network, security, and infrastructure engineers, no one can doubt that. I'm sure they have at least semi-formalized code review processes and a security checklist pre-deployment. Yet they still overlooked this pretty permissions issue which anyone who has ever developed a multi-user web app has encountered.

It's easy to armchair quarterback it, but keep in mind, one day it may be your organization up on HN. Pretending like you're invincible is not productive for anything except your personal ego.
Note one reason to go with something like a Beaglebone Black over other options is that it has massive I/O options for electronics and sensors, and the ability to go into massively reduced power sleep modes.(that depends on the kernel, of course)
> Sure, most VR hardware options may technically be peripherals for PCs, but at a cost of several hundred dollars or more, it isn't in the same category as PC mouses or joysticks.

But in exactly the same segment as video cards, and you won't see too many games publishers stupid enough to refuse to run their games on unapproved video cards.
> It's people who do the same sort of work.

Exactly the problem. "People with security clearances" seems like a set of people more likely on average to favor the government point of view, to the point that a defense attorney that allowed twelve people with security clearances to form a jury has utterly failed at voir dire.

I think researchers have a clear distinction that populations are an altogether different phenomena than individuals. This is something that the public often confuses, as demonstrated when somebody rebuts a statement about population attributes with a personal refutation. This is a failure to argue on the same phenomena.

Researchers are also aware that personality changes population-wise with age, and also that individuals also experience personality changes -- but generally not in a medically interesting way in the sense of a reliable and precise intervention to effect positive changes.

I'm also reminded of studies on the transferability of personality traits with adopted children (no significant correlation! amazing! same correlation with biological parents compared to those children raised by their biological parents), or reared-apart monozygotic twin studies, or reared-apart dizygotic twin studies, and so on. The collective portrait of many data points suggests a set of stable biological factors to personality, as opposed to personal experience.

Silence Is Much More Important to Our Brains Than We Think
That is so true, and the same thing seems to go on even after the vote.

If I had had a vote in Britain, I would have voted Remain, but I'm not surprised at all by the result and I even see many upsides in it although difficult times are surely ahead for all of EU because of this. But perhaps difficult times are what is needed to find a new direction - is this a project for United States of Europe, or a common market for European nations?

Most major politicians as well as major media outlets - from NY Times to HuffPo to most European government broadcasters - have been painting a picture where the leavers are stupid, uneducated, old, xenophobic racists for expressing their concerns about continued integration towards a federal European government, instead of a common market, and ever-rejoiced multiculturalism in form of immigration that should be unrestricted.

What are you going to get out of that? You'll get angry people. Angry people who still have a vote, however much you dislike their having a vote. You won't get people who embarrassedly rue their previous opinions and nicely behave the way you want. Rather to the contrary: the campaign on the Remain side - as so many other campaigns - that tries to strengthen the feeling of solidarity in their own bubble simply miscalculated, and it backfired big time.

I suspect that the isolation of people, created by social media - Facebook friend selection, Twitter mobs etc - has strengthened a phenomenon where people cannot understand others who have different problems and different opinions from their own.

This could be a result of many, many people de-friending others for just having a different political opinion.

There are many advantages to having the government closer to the people. Having a smaller sect of the world population means officials are more likely to listen to the populace.

Very similar reasons why (many) people like working for small businesses and start-ups vs. multinational corporations...they know their boss and their boss's boss. When upper management makes a decision they actually have to speak with all the people it effects, which tends to make them empathize and make more employee-centric decisions.

Infrastructure software isn't dead - but Openstack is.

It may still be used, and may continue to see a bit of media now and then but really it's gone the way of Puppet/Cfengine/<many proprietry infra software here>.

It missed it's chance to be good by allowing itself to be corrupted a massive design by committee disaster.
Openstack needed a cohesive vision if it was to stand a chance against the integrated enterprise stacks or the custom in-house ones it sought to supplant.
It never had it and at this point it never will.

I don't mean any ill-will to any of the Mirantis boys or the other countless hackers that worked on Openstack circa Cinder/Neutron introduction. I was there too, we tried to right the ship before it got too far off-course and we failed.

I don't want to say you are wrong, I just want to clarify further:

Not only was the UK "completely independent 50 years ago", the UK (for the moment let's not care if the UK is a country or a political union) is a completely separate and independent(!)[1] country already and always has been. Parliament can do and undo any(!) law (the principle of "Supremacy of Parliament"), including all the laws that made UK a member of the EU to begin with and all further laws that tangled up the UK closer with the EU. The difficulty is in negotiating a viable exit strategy (because of economic and political consequences), but there is no dispute in the slightest, that the UK is (easily) able and has a full right to simply leave.

The UK always during the last 50 years was sovereign, with every new EU regulation that was "imposed upon them" (they were and are represented in EU parliament, it's not like they had not a say, democracy means compromise) they could choose. Of course having advantages means also accepting decisions of other states in some cases, but they always weighed pro and contra and never ever were obliged to stay. I am not exactly sure how the legal framework in the USA is (I understand it's a heavily federal system), but I doubt it's anyway near the situation of UK sovereignty.

The referendum was not needed, it's not even legally binding. Members of Parliament could have simply made the decision to leave at any given point in time.

[1] It's only not independent in the sense that it of course depends on surrounding countries regarding economic stability, so if one says the UK wasn't independent, then the same is true for any country that has any import/export to other countries and some trade agreements. And in that sense of course UK never was nor will be independent.
