I can't say much about the jobs market in Luxembourg, but the availability of developer jobs in Sweden is very good.

When it comes to intern salaries it varies greatly, I've had some friends who got 10k SEK for a full summer's work and others who got 25k SEK a month. My best suggestion is that the bigger the company, the more room for negotiating a higher salary. The most important part is that you can demonstrate your value to the company, even if you're not very experienced right now. There are other facts to consider as well, like your contribution to the company culture etc.

20-25k SEK a month would give you about 15-20k SEK after taxes, which is well enough what you need to live a comfortable life in Gothenburg, although far from luxurious.

Career wise Sweden is great, especially in the capital Stockholm. Good developers are extremely hard to come by and although I can't compare it to Luxembourg I'm certain that you won't feel that your career is limited in Sweden. The taxes are sky high though, so in that sense I'd say Luxembourg wins, but Sweden has many times been voted the "startup hub of Europe". I've worked here myself for several years and both the community and the job opportunities are great.
MATE is better than OS X desktop, at least for me.
It also mentions gcc 3.2.2, which was released on 2003-02-05.

It also mentions that Gentoo is getting popular, which was happening in 2002 and 2003, after which it has been declining.

Also this article has appeared on Hacker News many times before, with titles of various relevancy: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=over-yonder.net

I think the easier way to think about the base system is to look at Mac OS X. Stuff in the /usr are installed along with the Mac OS X system, and when people need other packages (or think some packages that shipped as part of the system is too old), they use their favorite package manager to install it to /usr/local or somewhere outside /usr. This is also the case with FreeBSD base system. The package manager do not manage packages that are installed as a part of the system, only the one installed by the user.

As far as the compiler goes, in my 10.3-RELEASE-p5, I can only see clang 3.4.1. No Python, no Perl, no even Bash. If I happen to need clang 3.8, I can just `pkg install clang38` and it will happily live inside /usr/local separate from the one in /usr/bin (that is probably presented for building the world). This one will be managed by pkg, but the one in /usr/bin will be updated when I upgrade to 11.0-RELEASE (which will ship with 3.8).

Thinking in Linux's terms, is probably like installing Debian stable only the minimum, and use pkgsrc to install the rest of the system to /opt.
You're confusing sarcasm for irony. Once upon a time you could be ironic without implying anything negative about the subject or object of the irony. Perceptive and incisive irony can elicit complex emotions and thoughts about a subject, but it can and often does end there, regardless of the speaker's personal beliefs.

A quote from Garrison Keillor reprinted in the article alludes to this: "You get old and you realize there are no answers, just stories."

American law schools use the Socratic method for teaching. A good law school professor will never answer a question even when directly posed, but merely respond with another question, often times using classic Socratic irony. With the really good professors, no matter how heavily laden with innuendo their questions, in three years you'll never figure out their actual opinions or beliefs about a subject without resort to their published material outside of class.

(And, FWIW, the biggest mistake you could ever make reading Plato, for example, is to believe that it's obvious what kind of point his protagonists (e.g. Socrates) are trying to make. The Laws is an excellent example.)

That's the type of character Garrison Keillor seems to be, particularly when it comes to questions of culture and sentimentality. If you think he's gaming his audience, then that's sad.

$HOME/.config would somewhat mitigate against this exploit. A user running wget is much more likely to be in their home directory than in .config, and a hidden script file is less dangerous if there's nothing around which will execute it.

This would still need fixing, but it would be a bit less dangerous.

Incidentally, that was because before Gaius Marius every legionary had a plot of land. Marius introduced recruiting from the 'capite censi', the propertyless citizens.

Rome fought off Carthage with just its small farmers. Probably did not have many urban poor at the time, either.
The article doesn't answer the central question of "Why did the value of a child change from worthless to nearly priceless?"

If children transformed from economically useful little people to economically useless, then the conclusion should be that they became even more worthless.

I'm not seeing a clear explanation of why children are perceived as more valuable nowadays.
I'm not sure I see the distinction between the "FreeBSD's version of tcpdump" and, say, "Debian's version of tcpdump" ( http://sources.debian.net/patches/tcpdump/4.6.2-5%2Bdeb8u1/ )?
One problem is that you do not have hover with keyboard-only or touch browsers.

I have found that this makes it actually easier to reason about web page state: It is represented by the current URL.
> have everything on a page come from the same origin

Would that really be so bad?

It's not like you couldn't still hook into an ad network and all that, in fact if I were building something AdSense-like I would love to get API calls from the server instead of worrying about the browser. Things like WordPress could bake that into the server side and nontechnical publishers wouldn't have to even know the difference.

Of course, Google would still "need" to get its Orwellian Cookie somehow, but even that could be trivially done without loading the ads themselves from another origin.

> This is just a parser change so should be easy for all tools to support.

I have nothing against changing the grammar, but I would never say it's "just a parser change". Haskell has no standard parser/AST/pretty-printer (e.g. like read/write for Lisp, or even "eval" in dynamic languages), so the only "portable" way of representing Haskell code is using raw strings, and cobbling together parsers, pretty-printers (or, heaven forbid, regexps) as required by the situation. With so many string-of-Haskell transformers around, changing the grammar is bound to require lots of work for tool and library makers.

The de facto parser for Haskell is the one used by GHC, since almost all Haskell code is written solely for compilation by GHC with no regard for other parsers. Unfortunately, it's very hard to reuse components of GHC for anything other than compiling code.

GHC does offer an API for invoking its parser, type-checker, etc. but it will crash (saying "the impossible happened") unless it's configured just right for that piece of code (setting "DynFlags", include directories, extensions, package databases, etc.). In practice, the only way to set those options correctly is to use the author's Cabal file, which limits us to either invoking the monolithic "ghc" command and hoping it has an option for what we need, or having our code pass all of those Cabal-provided commandline options to the GHC API, at which point we're basically reimplementing the "ghc" command.

There are other parsers, like haskell-src-exts, TemplateHaskell quasiquotation grammars, etc. but they either require per-input configuration (which we can only get from Cabal files, which are tailored to GHC's particular options), or else they flat out fail for a large proportion of existing code (e.g. due to preprocessors like CPP).

I ran into this myself when trying to make a tool for extracting ASTs of Haskell functions. In the end I went down the "hope ghc has an option" path, and wrote a Core-to-Core optimisation plugin to spit ASTs on to stderr. This is unfortunate since the ASTs are of GHC Core rather than Haskell, and it's very inefficient since it's running parts of the compilation pipeline which are completely unnecessary :(
What you are describing is not an "open secret," that's a "conspiracy theory."
I drink Contrex bottled water, because its mineral content provides me with 58% Calcium and 19% Mangnesium per litre.

This is interesting, how many languages do you support?

This can be very useful for people learning new language, for example I'm learning angularjs and javascript, I write a lot of code with them that work but I'm pretty sure they can be improved a lot by a angular/js expert.

How about a feature to open a bounty and pay real money to people who refactor the code, and only the refactoror and initiator can see the code?

Also may I ask which editor do you use in the new question form?
That is actually wrong. HTML + CSS3 + user interaction is turing complete. Yet, as Olia Lialina argues, quite a lot of software + user interaction can actually be turing complete: http://contemporary-home-computing.org/turing-complete-user/

Tensorflow is aimed at ML architectures that are fully differentiable (just close your eyes and say "deep learning.") and performs automatic differentiation (you just define the architecture, tensorflow figures out how to update parameters). MLpack is less flexible but provides robust implementations of several class ML algorithms that you wouldn't necessarily want to write in Tensorflow, even though you probably could.
My mother always bought bottled water. It was normal that we had about 2 chests of water bottles at home.

I never did this after I got my own flat. Too lazy to carry bottles and to greedy to pay that much money for it.

I'd also recommend The Face of Battle by John Keegan. It covers Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme:

"The Face of Battle is military history from the battlefield: a look at the direct experience of individuals at 'the point of maximum danger'. It examines the physical conditions of fighting, the particular emotions and behaviour generated by battle, as well as the motives that impel soldiers to stand and fight rather than run away."

> I recommend doing some reading about LSM (selinux/apparmor) and/or grsec. This is exactly what they can prevent, even if you run foo and bar as the same user.

Thank you, but I am aware about these technologies. And I just checked on my Ubuntu laptop, and I can modify the memory of any process running under my user. I'm talking about distros that are actually in use by people today, without any exotic modifications. I am aware there are ways to block all of this (making your life hell in the process) using tools that may or may not already be available, but that is a little bit more invasive than your initial suggestion of "Let's move files out of $HOME". And now you agree that moving them out of $HOME is not even necessary. So it seems you've changed your point from "Let's move all configuration files out of $HOME" to "Let's bake in a lot more security". Can't argue against that.
I installed ad blocking on my phone when half the (high profile) websites I visited just ended in an endless loop of app-store redirects, non-loading full screen images (that blocked interaction anyway) and interactive 'games' that make you sit and wait for however long they felt they could get away with.

If it were only smaller, unobtrusive banners/inline separate ads it'd be tolerable, but it isn't. The ad industry has done this to itself. I'd compare it to the Tea Party rather than piracy.
None of the scientists you listed are alive let alone at the cutting edge of science and their work proceeds the move of science to English. Interestingly all their papers when they were published were not able to be translated in English without creating new terms which made it hard for English physicists who did not speak German.

Of course German or French scientists can understand modern scientific papers because they all speak English. I have met thousands of scientists who's first language is not English and not a single one can't read English.

As for an example I literally picked the first papers I found on NCBI. Written by a Chinese team in English - good luck translating this paper into any other language [1].

Games generally have a different function than teaching you history. Games are about having a fun time, so of course a game about WWI will not try to convey the horrors of trench war. (who would be into that?)

I am sure that people do understand the difference between a game and reality.

At first I thought it was some employer gone crazy.

Halfway down, I realize it's just like any other big company tactics.
Some upper management suggest all employees practice positive thinking, offering a course on how do deal with stress, forced laughter, etc.

Then I wondered how common this practice was for a company to offer this to their employees in the same way a company would offer free massages or therapy.

Seems to be a common, even competitive business in Korea.

Now I'm not sure how I feel about it. It could be some big new spiritual trend, but it could also be some shady business taking advantage of the depressed.

I agree that people should be more connected to their food supply, even if for no other reason than to be able to select better produce for themselves.

I was witness to a cattle being slaughtered while staying on a beef property. It is confronting, I'll give you that. However I still enjoy eating meat but I strive to always eat locally produced and I try and eat what is in season. Again this is more of a quality preference than a moral stand. I worked in a butcher for a while and that taught me a lot.

I am lucky to live in an area abundant in food, so I do feel for those trapped in a big city at the end of industrial supply chains. For dinner tonight I had freshly caught fish that were swimming around yesterday. The difference is amazing.
As so happens, an article in the "popular press" totally misses the point.

This is about the "Megaprocessor" - a CPU built entirely from discrete components. It's an amazing project, superbly executed, and submitted/discussed here on HN many times.

You can see some of the previous submissions by using this search:

Recent submissions haven't had much discussion, but it deserves it. The testing and verification processes alone are fascinating - just how do you test something like this?

Amazing project.

Regarding Healthcare, this wikipedia entry sums it up pretty good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Germany

Regarding the worker rights:
Not only do you get a decent amount of holidays (around 30 in most companies, with additional free days for parents), but you can also take up to 14 months leave after childbirth (both father and mother, but combined not 14 months each and one person has to take at least 2 months to get the full amount). Your company has to offer you the job if you come back.

You can't get fired on a whim if you didn't do anything wrong. Most jobs will have to give you a 3 to 6 months notice (depending on how long you were working there).

Companies have to pay at least 8,50 Euro per hour.

The law says that you are not allowed to work more than eight hours a day, however exceptions are possible to some extend.

I agree, but there's already so much stuff that doesn't belong in kernel space inside Linux and FreeBSD, that this doesn't make it any worse. We will hopefully see the rise of something based on seL4 (microkernel) or Barrelfish's multikernel design (one kernel per core, no shared memory), and fix those issues at the root.

What does Big Data even mean?
Back in the days of OpenSolaris, I was absolutely running it on 512MB, including a Gnome 2 desktop. I won't claim it won any records for speed, but it absolutely worked, and the data survived a rather nasty intermittent disk controller failure.

No first-hand experience with ZFS on BSD, but I believe in the early days of the ZFS port there were issues where if the system came under sudden memory pressure, ZFS might not hand its RAM back to the kernel fast enough, leading to (I guess) a panic. So this is a fit-and-finish issue with a specific port, not an inherent ZFS issue, but it seems to have fed into the whole notion of "ZFS needs bucketloads of RAM".

In Portugal, we have some "theoretically" restrictive labor laws, supposedly very protective towards the employee. Still, everyday you'll hear about someone being told that he/she should feel lucky to even have a job, let alone a salary (because, yes, unpaid stuff is also common).

My point being: labor laws are fundamental, but they don't trump a) on one hand, a bad economical situation; and b) on the other hand, a die-hard culture of constantly finding ways around the law.

Feature creep, "technical managers" who promised close-to-impossible functionality in totally impossible time frames. So many teams developing in isolation on loosely defined specs so nothing worked as it was assumed then when it was "fixed" it broke it for another team, etc. Higher ups making decisions on what stack to use based on who bought them nicest lunch or some other "bribe" so nothing worked together without a shit load of extra work, then obviously the price went up when they needed to purchase more for phase++ as none of the higher ups had any kind of negotiating or technical architecture experience.

Essentially it came down to too many people in too many isolated teams who were led by people that would struggle to do IT for a small Windows-only business.

At the time I used to say that the people running the project would get nine women pregnant in the hope of having a baby in a month. I would hope the problem with that is obvious but you would be shocked at how many people thought it was actually a good idea!
