I agree.
I'm afraid there isn't a single best place. What is important first is to learn how GPU architecture is different from traditional before you start learning Cuda or linear algebra. Take a look at these sources for absolute beginners.

edit: also when you are ready to pick a language and start writing code, i advise using the universal OpenGL over Cuda.
Had exactly the same thought, especially when he mentioned about growing the team to 20, lots of similarities, hopefully with some good lessons for ConvertKit from Buffer's transparency.
Ha, good points ...
It is not perfect, but it possible to configure properly.

Also NT always focused on the user productivity first and as server afterwards.

Whereas UNIX always focused on the server first and user productivity afterwards.

It is always a mix and match between security and productivity.
Cool, this is very similar to what I had people do at one point as part of the interview process.

Give them a bunch of historical data

- find me the longest period that we would be flat/negative

- find the best time to invest

- find the optimal portfolio off stocks to hold over a given period.

I think I've said this before but I see too many people who think that they need to have a huge public repository of code to show off in an interview.

If you want to be a programmer at a hedge fund just having some very shallow analysis like the above would get a programmer to the top of the resume pile.

Now if you want to be a quant the bar is obviously much higher:)
The copy is egregiously sloppy in places. The title is surely the most problematic, but the entry for Schmitt Trigger might be the worst:

Schmitt Trigger: Comparitor circuit wityh

The list is decent, and intentionally superficial -- it's a list, not a textbook. The guy seems to know his material, but English might not be his first language, and I don't think proofreading happened.

I would guess that the list grew out of years of conversations and exposed gaps of shared knowledge. It's a good list of things that establish a common vocabulary in a specific industry.
What is Symbolic Computation?
I'm pretty sure you can do this with graph analysis without needing sentiment analysis.

I don't have the source to hand anymore but Facebook started doing a lot of research into the different types of 'likes' may have applied.

Did you like it because it was your friend without reading it?
Did you read it but not like it?
Did you read it and like it?

These are all data points they track. If you assume they have accurate gauges of what you do and don't like, it's then easy to work out whether a post is going to sit well with you based on who did and didn't like it and what you've liked in the past.

The Django Software Foundation supports someone named Tim who plays a role in release engineering and bug triage.
As a newcomer to HN, I can see that there is a strong, fairly homogeneous culture here. For the most part, we are all in favor of increasing technology and automation, reducing reliance on non-renewables, but we don't want educated, hard working people to get shafted. Support for foreign wars is thin. We consistently don't respect Trump supporters, and it seems to go without saying around here that racism is bad.

If you think that this is just how all people are naturally, that these opinions and preferences are too obvious to even discuss, then you need to travel.

Also, I don't really do reddit myself, but I hear it is heavily moderated, to the point of removing posts that are politically incorrect, from a liberal American point of view. I'm not sure to what degree that varies by subreddit.
Is their algorithm so complex that it can't run in a reasonable time using client side javascript? I have trouble thinking of anything that isn't vastly over-engineered and runs slower than the network lag probably is.
I have thought about it too. Something like FilterBuster.io which analyses your Friendslist and tells you about your filter bubble rating, and then recommends friends of friends who might hold different viewpoints than you.

Or maybe for MVP, a subreddit which does the same thing but manually.
>You might notice that not a single response takes the perspective that what makes the problem difficult is that helium will spread out or mix with the atmosphere.

Well that's not true. The very first response, the one that started this conversation, did exactly that. "Put it in a cylinder". Boom, done. That's why I said "good answer". That's the answer to the question I had asked. You can weigh hexafluoride by putting it in a bowl because it is so dense it will not float away. Helium is the opposite. That's what I wanted to know. Because obviously helium will just float away.

This is a complicated question obviously, and goes deeper than what I asked. But you and I are asking two different questions, and for some reason you seem hell bent on just shitting on everyone else's answers with poor science and snark instead of a simple Google search that takes like 5 seconds and gives you literally all the answers you could ever want.

I think you're putting a little too much weight on peer review here. The way it is presented to non-academics often makes it sound more like a trial or inquest, where a large group of people carefully weigh the evidence.

In practice, peer review means that 1-3 people each spent 1-3 hours thinking about the paper and didn't find anything horribly wrong with it. It is more like a code review--it's good if it catches something, but not terribly surprising if some bugs slip through.

You're definitely right about the the importance of continuing to discuss and replicate work after it has been published.
Science is ultimately self-correcting, but that can take decades. Sometimes you have to wait for distinguished asshole scientist to retire or die before happens. For example the Harvard Geology Department was the laughingstock of the world for taking so long to accept the thoery of plate tectonics. But eventually it did after rotating in a new generation of modern faculty.
Yeah probably, but then again "entirely readable" is generous considering on my laptop screen 30+% of the page is covered needlessly by a panel with no dismiss button. "Public post" redefined to mean 30% less screen layout than only a few months ago.

You could look at it that way... 2016 rolls in and quietly, Facebook reduces your web publish layout area by 30% without word. If member I'd be asking what's up with that. Answer might be that you are not CEO of your own contributions on fb.
If they're MITMing they could replace whatever JS you put with something else, by definition.
Perhaps I should have. I was assuaged by the fact that they provided specific "exceptions from copyright" (e.g. open source projects that I have and will continue to contribute to).

I've read that you don't need to go through Greenlight for VR apps right now, just to contact Valve. Not sure if that's true, but might be of help if it is.
A lot of those 80% projects on github without licenses are simply not meant for public consumption. Think things like bash or emacs dotfiles or class notes scribbled into a txt file or a very personal project that has no hope of working anywhere but on the author's machine. I think people overstate how "post-licensing" people view open source (née free software). For everything important, people still mostly slap free licenses on their projects.
Yeah, exactly this. I read my first contract ever really closely, saw it had a bunch of potentially onerous terms, then signed it anyway because I had no negotiating leverage and it effectively quadrupled my income.

What I've heard from a lot of WA devs is "yeah, if it looks like it's going to be a problem, I'll just move to California." It's nice that option exists, but it's kind of silly that "defensive relocation" is something people even have to consider.
> open source is about collaboration... you're not entitled to anything as a user of open source.

It is true.

However, this is why Proprietary software will always be around and why there are many markets where Free Software won't take over. There are many people that don't want to be a collaborator because they don't enjoy dealing with software. They just want to exchange money and have a problem solved for them.

Free Software is, for some people/organizations, more expensive than proprietary software because they would need to hire somebody to solve their problems. You're right that they aren't entitled to someone else's labor for free. However when they pay someone's salary (by buying proprietary software, or a support contract), they are entitled to something: as much support and hand-holding as they can negotiate for given that they have the BATNA of paying a different company. For people/organizations that need that hand-holding, it is necessary to make some tool useful at all, so it ought be considered part of the cost when telling someone "you should use Open Source! It is Free as in Beer!" If you think that those folks are wrong about the cost of Free Software, then either tell the sales folks at Red Hat or do the arbitrage yourself.

Ive seen arguments involving someone advocating Free Software for economic (rather than ideological) reasons and just not getting it, so I apologize if I sound like a broken record.

(oh, and a tool can be useful enough to work, but crappy enough that it makes someone feel frustrated and stupid while using it.)
Having maintained an Open Source project for almost 20 years now, there are some ways to deal with bad users.

One is to not take it personally. Annoying people should get ignored or banned. They're just not worth the effort.

Two, is to recognize that your time is limited. If the person filing the bug can't (or won't) help track it down, well... too bad. Maybe no one else runs into the bug, and your best response is "works for me". (Note that this is the approach taken by most commercial software vendors in my experience)

Three, is to recognize that there are idiots out there, and you can't help them all. It's OK to be on the lower end of the bell curve, but sometimes it's like the kids rides: "You have to be THIS TALL to go on this ride". If the user can't comprehend something, perhaps he shouldn't be using it. And perhaps you shouldn't waste your time trying to get him to understand something he just can't understand.

My general approach is to be nice to people who ask good questions, and who try. When people ask terrible questions, and make it clear that they have no interest in lifting a finger, but demand that you do all of the work... well... they get told in no uncertain terms to shape up, or get banned.

You don't owe these people anything. If they had an ounce of human decency, they would understand that they got the software for free, and that they don't deserve anything. And that they need to put some effort into it on their end.

The main response I have with these people is If you're too lazy to help solve the problem, then I'm too lazy to help, too.
Patrick, it would be great if you could open a msg forum for Atlas companies, like YCnews.
Maybe ebay do the right thing and terminate on the final endpoint, and keep their logs appropriately secured. We shouldn't assume the worst without knowledge.

Pros and Cons of Choosing Node.js
>I'd be curious to know if anyone here can come up with a good enough reason for sending out the user's email & their password(-prefix) at every keystroke?

I wonder if it ties into their fraud detection systems somehow.

Fraudsters are lazy - so lazy that, for a good long time, you'd see the exact same few recycled photos of counterfeit items being used in item descriptions. No idea if that's changed recently.

Anyway, going back to my main point: I wonder if something about password entry and email address choice serves as an early warning flag.

I'd kinda be surprised, but I could imagine it potentially being useful.
I knew Michael when he was at Esquire, just before he headed out for Vietnam and the experiences described in Dispatches. He was smart, thoughtful, curious, and incredibly brave. We are all the the better for writers like Michael who document the human experience. It's sad that he is no longer here to tell the tale.
It seems to me that a good starting point would be the Pakistani government agency responsible for the card and its use.

Good luck.
That's a very interesting interpretation of the linked papers.

While timing information may make brute force attacks against the passwords easier, it is not feasible to reconstruct passwords based on the timing information exposed by Ebay.

It is also worth noting that the ability to perform more efficient brute force searches doesn't really matter in the case of Ebay, as it will not make such attacks feasible over the internet.

> This is not a security vulnerability itself because I think they have implemented this for some reason

IMO just because the behavior is by design doesn't mean it's not a vulnerability. That said, this one seems like a grey area. I'd be worried about password information leaking by making TLS attacks easier in this mode.

Looking forward to reading your replies!

Many thanks!
Would be more interesting to compare it against a realistic return from a savings account instead of saying "if the index is worth the same after 20 years then you haven't lost anything". You would have almost 25% more even in a 1.1% savings account.
But what you are describing is not a forum per se, it's "topic-specific" meeting place. That can be anything, from an irc channel to a closed mailing list. Twitter could do this with access-moderated hash tags, for example.

> It's like driving a Ferrari in LA traffic.

I must say I really understand what you mean. :) But I think I have learned that to strong emotions, either positive or negative, doesn't belong in the workplace. It costs so much when you get burnt and dumb bosses interfere and imposes their will. I still do 100% everyday and every hour I work, but I'm a little emotionally detached or shielded from the result of it.

Instead, I'm contributing to a free software project where I can be really passionate. You should probably try that too.

I'm afraid users don't have the time/opportunity to try the same service over and over again. If a service didn't work for them, it's mostly sure that they're not coming back.
This only affects a specific form that the user might interact with once a year (and that's being really optimistic), I don't really see it generating enough requests to make TLS attacks easier.
Problem is that companies of that size are selling "Your dream and life!" and not a job.

With 200k on the table and a plethora of perks, nobody thinks "Yeah no, I'll need to pass this up because I might quit in 5-10 years and go to another somewhat similar company".
It's likely an unpublished (in the official reporter) decision, which often courts do not allow to even be cited as persuasive precedent.
Can you expose the EFS file systems to CloudFront? For a future migration (local to cloud) I would like a backend application running on EC2 to use standard path names, but public access would be through CloudFront. It would be easier to migrate existing apps to the cloud with that approach, and then slowly work on changing the apps to use S3 (for cost reasons).
But in the case of Amazon they will likely know about the problem before you would have anyway. Sure, their problems tend to have a much larger scale, but their ops teams are pretty good.

The most important thing about releasing free software (open source) is that you don't owe anything to anyone by doing so.

Virtually all free licenses actually codify this. If you read the SHOUTY CAPS part, it says exactly that: no responsibility from the author.

People can come and ask for you to fix something or support them or accept their patches. That's fine, and if you want to engage them, you can. But there is no obligation to do so.

Once I accepted this, the growing pile of bugs/issues/support requests on the Octave and Mercurial bug trackers become a lot less anxiety-inducing. I'll try to help, but if I couldn't... sorry, it's not my responsibility!
Chris Delay has called PA "my very own Dwarf Fortress" and it was directly inspired by his work on Subversion, a failed "universal simulation" game based on similar ideas as DF.

Subversion tried to generate everything and have deeply complex simulations -- mostly because he realized Introversion couldn't design every last detail by hand at the scale the project was trying to provide. PA itself was actually directly the result of Chris realizing that he had more fun trying to build these intricate simulated scenarios than actually playing them.

There's a beautiful demonstration of Subversion where he shows a heist scenario with intricate alarm and security systems and how the player could just bypass all of it by simply shooting people -- that was apparently the dying blow to the project.
Interactive search/filter bar: Alt+F
It's worse that that, actually. With hard mounts (the default), the only way to interrupt is with SIGKILL, which if my memory serves me correctly, is a process-wide signal. So you'd have to do all NFS I/O in a separate child process.

With soft mounts (does EFS support this?) you can exchange SIGKILL for religiously checking return values for all I/O syscalls, retrying partial writes and whatnot.

Have to agree, I remember in the past getting tons of links in German, French, etc... but now it seems to think I only speak (or care about English).

And I'm an american, safe bet probably, but while my ability to butcher spoken french is legion, reading it isn't too bad. German I find much better and for tech sometimes the only link I have found fixing something has been in German.

If you find something that searches all languages again let me know, google is shit now for search.

indeed those messages are good examples of social engineering, but when comparing OS security there's nothing inherent about MacOS or Linux that would make them any more resistent to the same kind of social engineering attack.

I'd suggest that the reason that there are fewer attacks of that nature on those platforms isn't down to superior OS security but less profit available to attackers, due to smaller market share and perhaps lack of a ubiquitous target app. like office.
That probably is the way it works. But the problem is that the resolution of the VR devices at the moment is 2160 x 1200, i.e. the equivalent of a single monitor.

This monitor is responsible for filling your entire field of view, therefore the pixel density of any 'virtual monitor' must be quite low, therefore it'll not work 'like you're sitting at a desk of monitors'.

Imagine the inverse. Imagine you've got a single curved monitor at your desk that fills your entire field of view. Sounds great right? Now imagine that monitor is 2160 x 1200. Not so great.
