>> 94% of fatal accidents are due to human error

I assume you just pulled that out of thin air but even if you hadn't, it is completely meaningless. We have nothing to compare human performance against. Humans have been driving for more than a century. What are you going to compare that to?

As to how preventable accidents are- sure, if you remove factors like the ones you say, you'll reduce accidents, but humans suffer from those cognitive impairments on top of our extremely well-tuned cognitive apparatus. Computers have nothing of the sort. They may not get distracted, but they're rubbish at doing the thinking that keeps humans safe on the road the vast majority of the time (given that the vast majority of drivers don't get killed in accidents).

To put it plainly, if you put a brick on the gas pedal and lock the wheel, you'll reduce the amount of accidents caused by cogntivie impairments like inattention and poor judgement- but you won't reduce the overall rate of accidents.

In other words, if you hand control to a system that doesn't sleep on the wheel but can also not tell a puddle from a boulder, you will increase risks rather than reducing them.

cool ! thanks for clarifying the whole thing.
It looks like you are Windows fanatic. Replace "Windows" by "C++" and "Linux" by "Rust" and reread my comments, please. I am talking about development and developers, nightly builds and contribution. You are talking about users. This version of Servo is not for users. This topic is not for users. Stop blaming me for your own error.
Yes. CloudFormation, Chef and Puppet are declarative. The alternative to each one of them is a script. The main idea that in some cases scripts are better and in some cases the declarative tools are better TCO-wise.
I've recently made the argument that science publications should include code and data. See comment history e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11606278

Glad to see that concrete good is coming from such efforts:

> The researchers took advantage of a recent trend toward making data open for anyone to use or analyze. They were able to download hundreds of fMRI scans used in other studies to perform their analysis.

The more data and code that's made openly available, the stronger science will be. I hope that we can work toward a future where most if not all code and data are expected socially and by funding policies to be included in the publication process.
Even though it appears as ridiculous, I hope it means the guy did ensure that things worked correctly no matter how ignorant they were on some aspects, which if true is a good quality. No matter the tools, it's the properties of the system built that counts.
"Speaking of patching, Slackware tries to stay as close as possible to the upstream developer's version of a package, with minimal patching."

Posting this from my Thinkpad X220 running Slackware 14.1.
Just check config files (*.new suffix) when a package is updated to a newer version. Debian/CentOS backport patches to packages so that the configs don't change during a release.

Quite happy with what I've had from Slackware for the past couple of years and I have subscribed. The distribution does not pretend to cater for all needs but can support many use cases.

Remember that there is now a live iso image to try before you install.
Working for the Government isn't "just a job" though. The Government holds a huge amount of power over people - and not just the people who pass the laws, but every department that has to come up with its own policies and processes.

Everything the Government does affects somebody in a way that few businesses can. A bad process can literally result in death in some cases (although the third sector attempts to help when Government fails).

People already get into Kafkaesque situations on a regular basis due to either the department's employees not understanding its own policies, or not knowing the magic words to use. The only way to protect against that is to allow people to force the Government to give them information. Personally, I've used FOIA responses in the UK to great effect in forcing the NHS to follow their own procedures (not medical ones, admin ones).
Several years ago I took over the lead UI position at a company. Jira has a feature to display lines of code contributed by developer. After 10 months of adding features, and getting the product to shipping, I had contributed -1500 lines. There were less lines than when I started, and the code was simpler for it. I'd _almost_ say that LOC is a good measure of bad coding.
A pretty good showcase that the more features you have the harder it is for them to keep working correctly together.
A good vendor will work with you to resolve the problem, not all closed source software is bad.
Wasn't that story thoroughly debunked? The data flows didn't support it, and Facebook denied it.
Does anybody know some nice software radio materials? In form of lectures or lab exercises? I was always wondering about background of people which make feats like this. I have a degree in EE, oriented toward telecommunications but would not be able to produce something similar.
If only we had a way to deal with state without it being mutable...
Retina only refers to resolution. Color representation is a deeper "qualitative" feature of the display. Currently I am only familiar with Apple's retina iMac which would be able to correctly display their examples.

>> There are already videos of assisted-driving cars avoiding accidents

I'm not concerend about assisted driving. I'm concerned about fully autonomous cars being handed complete control in real-world situations.

I'm not just "concerned" about them- they scare the hell out of me.

>> Many being scenarios that Google's self-driving cars have the technology to avoid.

What Google says it programs its cars to do, what it really programs its cars to do and what its cars can really do are all separate things.

The problem is that the current technology level is nowhere near advanced enough to allow fully autonomous vehicles to operate safely. There is a huge number of situations that those cars aren't programmed for, that they can't be programmed for, because those situations are completely unforseeable.

Machine learning has a huge problem with data sparsness. You may train a learner in petabytes and petabytes of data collected from the real world and still miss the vast majority of events that may occur.

That is why, like I say elsewhere, machine learning-based AI makes utterly ludicrous mistakes that humans would never do, even in difficult situations were they can't be expected to perform with 0% error. I've used a few metaphors- here's another one: a human would never mistake a truck for a cucumber. A machine learning algorithm, might.

And what's worse, there's no way to prevent this sort of mistake, or even correct it, because most of the time the models built by such algorithms are simply too complex to be processed by humans in the way a hand-crafted system would be (and goddess knows how hard those can be to process).
The CRC is often checked directly in hardware, so you would have to configure the NIC properly, and I have not seen many high-performance NICs that allow to modify that setting.

I've always thought custom implementations of this flavor were smart or dumb. It's never an OK choice, there's never a middle ground. I think in your case, it's a big win. In the op's case, it was a bad choice.

I'm not saying the op's team aren't smart and capable people. They just made a bad choice.

Fundamentally, it's a hard thing to get perfect. There are lots of pointy edges in that code. If it is to be undertaken, it needs to be a huge win. The potential for a huge win is worth the effort.
In Germany wages went down. More than people want to admit.

I don't know where they pull the numbers from that wages increased.

A former company I worked with went to shit. So the best ones are leaving first.

All, of, them, earn less now. I'm the only one getting more now.

Unmortgage | London, UK | ONSITE | FULL-TIME Designer - Producer of Pretty

We're fixing the broken housing ladder with DIY Shared Ownership.

Unmortgage offers a completely new way for people to get on the housing ladder without needing to take out a mortgage.

Occupiers get capital to buy a home worth up to ten times their income with only a 5% deposit.

It also opens up owner-occupied residential property as an asset class for pension funds, who earn inflation-linked rent on the portion the occupier doesn't own.

(As a disclaimer, for some context, I have only relatively passing experience with Z, and the majority of formal modelling of specs I've done is using CSP.)

From when I've considered trying to formalise parts of the platform before, some of the things that often get hit very quickly are the fact that most of the web platform is defined in terms of sequences of Unicode code points, and ultimately any formalisation is going to have to deal with that (be it some complex parser—like HTML—or some simple validation of it matching a regular grammar). It has always seemed to me that to get much advantage you need to be able to programmatically assert statements about it (including, most obviously, pre-conditions are satisfied at all call-sites), but once you've gone from 2^256 to 2^1114112 characters you end up with such massive state explosion that even many symbolic tools start to struggle quickly.

Now, maybe I've tried using the wrong tools, or maybe I'm structuring things wrong, but it'd be nice to have some way to do this.
It certainly helps that 'Coloring Book' is a fantastic album.
One of the "good reasons" why publishing houses refuses books is because the author doesn't have an established fan base. So as a new author, you're in an uncomfortable double bind: it's really hard to get published if you don't have a fan base, and it's really go build a fan base if you're not published.

Sure, some authors build a fan base by themselves, go viral, and a publisher gets interested in them (see The Martian, or 50 Shades of Grey, etc). But as any viral phenomenon, quality is not necessarily the reason (see 50 Shades of Grey).

What if you're a good author but not a good marketer/salesman, or just not interested in that part?

I'm biased in all this. I have a full time job, I write as a hobby, publishers ignored my queries, so I self-published my novel. It's far from a masterpiece, but according to a majority of people who have read it, it's also far from crap. My main problem is how to get it in the hands of more people, but I don't have the time or the energy (nor the inclination, really) to also do marketing & sales. That's what publishers are supposed to do :(

For what I have seen, most applications using DPDK do not require TCP/IP handling. For example, packet monitoring, data transfers between nodes that are just connected by a single cable (thus no need for routing or TCP arrival guarantees)...

But even reimplementing the TCP/IP stack it would probably be more faster: you don't make system calls (which are expensive), you don't go around copying every other to socket buffers, you don't have to decide which application should receive the packet... It's hard, but it can yield performance improvements.

On the other hand, I'd try to activate other features for improved performance, such as running applications in the same cores that the queues are running on, configuring the NIC RX queues and using jumboframes (>1514 bytes) if you control the network path. All of these can yield noticeable improvements without much effort.

Slackware doesn't do "security theatre" updates. Whenever there's both a credible risk and a reasonable fix, you'll see an update, and it'll be quicker than distros that are multiple steps downstream from Debian.

Environmental impact of meat production
My math is passably college level, so most of these proofs go over my head. I've always thought of FLT as stating "You cannot make n-3 cubes of side z by stacking/tiling n-3 cubes of side x and y", at which point it becomes something of a tessellation problem in 3 dimensions, which would seem to me to be the intuitive way to go about proving this.
The kernel TCP stack has two important constraints that alternatives usually don't have:

1. Ability to handle packets to/from multiple applications

2. Expose the BSD socket API
Some cars with active suspension sort of do this. The front shocks tell the rear ones what is coming and they adjust their properties to compensate.

Doesn't you code assume that there is exactly one derived class, and that the base class knows the name of it?
No. The properties added to a project by putting it under version control (versioning, diffs, development workflows, etc.) already exist in a git repo.

To put it another way, what is missing in a git repo that would make you want to put it in another git repo?

What's got energy expenditure to do with logic? Isn't what you talk about Bayesian Inference?

> while one scrambles up a nearby tree

I'm not sure that is just a nervous reflex or the result of the logic implication "If that's a Tiger and I stay then I will die". Even if the thought becomes hardwired, it would have to have been logically evaluated before it became subconscious. To react and be afraid, the danger must be recognized and categorized, "If the grass twitches then something moved it", etc. etc. Going down that argument, small life forms would be able of some small amount of logic reasoning, too. As long as those grow bulks of neurons, I don't see why that should be wrong.

Part of that is because employer contributions (tax + social security) are quite high on wages. Total cost to the company is probably double, i.e. €6.5-8k. In addition, income tax is also very high, so employees are left with <2-2.5k after tax on average.

There are ways to reduce the tax rate a bit to an acceptable level, but this depends on the goodwill of your employer. Most just don't care, even though it could mean an extra €1,000 - €1,500 in after tax salary for their employees, without increasing cost to the company. You can even ask the tax authority for a free tax ruling, meaning they approve this and can't challenge it later on.

I know what I'd do if I wanted to hire great local developers.. starting by offering a salary that is 1/3rd higher of most other local companies probably isn't a bad starting point.

But the problem I see is that the top people you might want would have no problem finding a similar position in a US company for 2x-3x that salary. So what how do you compete in the global economy with a 50+% salary cut? Do most of your developers only speak Spanish? Or do they have their roots firmly set in Spain (family/friends/relationships)?

Why are you still repping these cases as individual mishaps?

It took you 5 weeks to get back to me and it only happened after (because?) I posted here.
No offense, but you’re wrong. Full stop.

(It’s okay though. This is something which developers without training in human color perception / color reproduction are commonly wrong about. It comes from lack of training and lack of experience. The proper thing to do is not a priori intuitively obvious to the layman, in the same way optimizing algorithms for CPU cache locality might not be obvious to a color scientist.)

If you take an image which was authored to be sRGB, and show it on a wide-gamut display, stretching all the colors out to fill the gamut, you will supersaturate all the colors and totally distort all of the lightness, hue, and chroma relationships in the image, and it will look terrible.

Likewise, if you take an image which was authored for P3 (or whatever), and squish it down to fit on an sRGB gamut, everything will end up undersaturated, again distorting all the lightness, hue, and chroma relationships. Again, it will look terrible.

There are fancier ways to do gamut mapping than pure clipping, but there is a lot of subtlety involved (Ján Morovič wrote a several-hundred-page monograph about this, if you want more details, https://amzn.com/0470030321), the best one to use varies from image to image, depends a bit on viewing conditions and other context, and the nicer methods are quite computationally expensive.

The HTML/CSS/etc. specs declare that untagged images and other untagged colors are to be treated as sRGB. This is the only reasonable assumption in a world where sRGB has been the primary standard for 20 years.

Any 2016 browser / operating system / image viewer which treats an untagged image as anything other than sRGB is spec-non-compliant and functionally broken. (Sadly, this includes most browsers on most platforms.)
On the specific issue of the carbon budget, there is a point I miss: what do we count in the carbon dioxide emission by agriculture and livestock? In both cases carbon emitted to the atmosphere is just carbon that was earlier fixated from the atmosphere, since plants and animals have no other sources of carbon (where there is a lot in the soil, but that counts as carbon that was already fixated from the atmosphere). So, while industrial activities unilaterally move carbon from oil fields to soil or atmosphere, growing plants or raising livestock just move carbon back and forth between living bodies and atmosphere/soil. In particular, it seems that having more more animals helps reducing the amount of carbon in the air (but it also requires more energy to handle them, so it increases oil usage, therefore the net effect is probably bad).
For a senior developer, let's say 10 year working experience, there are some jobs above 50k but they are an small percentage. If I were a fresh graduate, or senior willing to relocate, my advice for any spanish engineer would be to move out of Spain: better salaries, better working conditions and better working culture overall. The EU it's a huge opportunity, don't limit yourself.
To be fair, he was talking about a Software Architect, who tend to work cross team and have a broader view than an engineer coding away in a given team.
"I'm genuinely interested in alternative methods of assessing people's ability to write high-quality code."

You are taking the shotgun approach of asking everyone open-ended questions and if they don't strike your particular nerve, you dismiss them. You're not testing for ability, you test for luck. Most people are capable of following directions, but you are not providing direction. You just expect people to kinda know what it is that you're looking for.

FreeBSD Netmap user here. You actually have to recompile the kernel with "device netmap" added in your kernconf. Piece of cake, after 20' you are good to go. But you need a real network card and the FreeBSD driver must be ready for netmap. Using intel 10Gbps adapters (~200euros) is a safe avenue (FreeBSD ixgbe driver). Even in VMWare, you can pass-through the PCI address of the adapter port to your virtual machine and have it talk to the card directly. Everything works very good.

The gain in performance is mind boggling! Trying to sniff approx. 2+Gbps traffic with Suricata using the "normal" avenue of libpcap ends up dropping a small percentage of the packets. And the machine will waste incredible CPU. Using Suricata with netmap (no need to recompile, Suricata pkgng binary build from FreeBSD comes ready) uses exactly one capture thread and drops ZERO packets. This behavior is stable for days!

Netmap is hands down awesome.
