You can start small though. Just go with broad categories like "printer", "CAD/CAM", etc and log reported/solved times and some text on both.

It's been a while ago since I worked with a Windows network, 15-18 years or so, but graphs from that was enough to prove investing in multi-purpose on-site free support network printers was a good idea. Support logs dropped by about 20% if I remember correctly (lots of crappy inkjets) and it saved the company some money in printer repairs and not buying ink cartridges and toners all over the place.

After that budget talks and time for in-depth problem solving became easier.

We ended up in something ITIL like naturally. We just started scripting solutions naturally and shared them between each other. Some of those scripts ended up being pushed to clients so traveling sales people could remap network drives and other simple things. Then we wrote a GUI for them - because clicking is easier apparently. That didn't work properly but proved the case for remote control/monitoring/inventory software (well, control really but it was IT buying the software so..)

It probably did help a little that I wrote in C and my co-worker at the time thinks x86 assembly is self documenting.

Now days I develop and use Linux for basically everything except gaming. Friday horrors persists though. This week it was trying to find a solution to a problem in others code that include sql triggers, framework triggers, various code components and quite a few custom sql tables/relations that I haven't worked with before.

I've thought about getting a Pyra and then trying to use it for regular phone calls as well. What's not clear to me is what the landscape is for telephone software running on Linux that directly accesses the sim card. Does anyone know? I recall there being a libgsm, but a quick search isn't pulling up much information. I also recall there being at least two Raspberry Pi phone projects, this being one of them:

https://learn.adafruit.com/piphone-a-raspberry-pi-based-cell...

The software for this project can be found on github:

https://github.com/climberhunt/PiPhone

Candidly, the code there looks pretty simple. Most of it is using pygame for the graphics and then just sending serial commands to the modem. It looks like most of the complicated functionality is just part of the chip.

Anyway, yes, I've thought about doing a phone implementation on top of some kind of Linux distribution and Pyra was high on that list. If someone else has some information or knows of other projects that have done this, please let us know.
Not quite relevant to the OP article, as the way you described would still need to traverse the kernel and not able to realize the performance gains that the article described.

I think this is a serious issue, at least for developers. I've never been burned by a self-updating browser, but anything beyond that seems downright unacceptable. There are just too many fragile, hand-managed dependency chains at work even in good setups.
There's a similar argument for why Goldbach's conjecture* might just be a statistical fluke. I remember realizing this in high school and deriving the probability – alas it's not a novel idea and Wikipedia has a great summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach%27s_conjecture#Heuris...

It's very possible that it's an unprovable true conjecture, which is kind of interesting in itself.

There's Amazon besides Microsoft.

Duopoly? No, more like Apple and Google are the only good companies out there.

And that didn't came from anti-competitive behaviors, but from HARD WORK.

Things like Google Maps and Apple Stores are cold hard work that are really meaningful for people's quality of life.

Amazon and others don't give any of this to the consumer, that's the reason nobody wants to go with their platforms.
This is probably one of the greatest pieces of long form journalism I have ever read, and I've read a lot.

> Consider, for a moment, that people are not robots and changing attire may have real impact on how people behave and interact in a social environment like business.

It might, certainly. But on the other hand, there are countless other issues that could be brought up—open office plans, office fraternization, expectations of late night email responses, working hours, salary, and so on—that are directly about how people behave and interact, or do business, that something like dress codes that reach no further than "may have a real impact" kinda fade in importance.

Borrowing cash internally won't change much - unless you assume that government is spectacularly better at investing than commercial professional investors (whose resources the government would be decreasing by competing with them for the pool of money available for borrowing). So far I haven't seen the proof of it.

Borrowing externally may work, but for that you need confidence of foreign investors - which is exactly what you don't have when you have economic problems, so rates would not be historically low.

Here’s another example, this time with a generated image. To users on an sRGB display there is a uniform red square below. However, it’s a bit of a trick. There are actually two different shades of red in that image, one of which is only distinct on wide-gamut displays. On such a display you’ll see a faint WebKit logo inside the red square.

I can clearly see the logo and I'm using a Samsung LCD from 2003. The pixel values are significantly different; the background is 255,0,0 and the logo is 241,0,0. The rest of my hardware is 2009-vintage. Likewise, the two shoe examples look very slightly (not a whole lot, but it's noticeable) different.

On an sRGB display, you can’t see the logo, because all the red values above 241 in Display P3 are beyond the highest red in sRGB, so the 241 red and the 255 red end up as the same color.

Seriously? 241 and 255 look very different to me, and if I remember correctly, would have always looked different in all the 24-bit colour monitors I've used.

Edit: experimentation with my monitor a little more shows that I can just barely discern 252,0,0 from 255,0,0, but 253 and 254 look identical to 255. This probably depends on my colour perception too. Either way, I still doubt my monitor is "wide-gamut", so what's going on here?
It sounds like a bad response, but if you don't know, you shouldn't be trying. The risks and penalties for screwing up can be enormous and it's not something to take lightly.
If they could cut corners they would already. Battery cages are a prime example. At least in the UK free range only took off when consumers pushed for it.

NP is most certainly not "trivially definitionally not equivalent (equal) to P". (Do you think everyone puzzling over the question of whether P = NP is a moron? You are aware there is a million dollar prize for a proof one way or the other, yes?). What definition are you using for NP?
The authentication server is clearly MLB's software. If you check the stack trace, it's com.bamnetworks which is them.
And when there is a bug in a string function, your program sends data to the wrong IP because OOPS! No protected memory!
And when your user space process crashes, nobody is there to close your TCP connections for you.
That's a reasonable trade off if you really need the raw request rate.

But if your web server spends most of it's time waiting for databases and taking to caches and network file systems, the common hardware abstraction of the kernel starts being worth it.
Or if your binary needs to run on heterogenous hardware.
Or if your single server runs multiple separate server processes.

Hybrid memory mapped stacks may end up being the best of both worlds, though. Time will tell!

And here I was thinking HN didn't have much soul. I'm so glad that you shared this. I will definitely give this a read or listen.

I was born and raised in San Francisco and am first generation Chinese-American. However, as a son of working class parents, my friends and I have spent most of our lives growing up through the inner-city school system dominated by minorities -- black, Hispanic, Asian (mostly Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian, but no Korean or Japanese). While at the time, I couldn't understand the plights of those I went to school with, looking back, I can now see how difficult it was for them, particularly those who were African-American.

And for those that make it out of the "hood," they face institutional racism. It's like an uphill battle. Even if somebody were to be in good spirits about it, only to be shot down over and over again, they'll eventually become frustrated. They begin to feel trapped in a nation they were born into that they, too, consider their own, but have parents that don't want them and/or hate them.

I know how fortunate I am to be lumped into a group of "Asians" or "Chinese," where in this country, people discriminate across all lines -- be it racial, socioeconomic, attitudes, beliefs, etc.

Whenever I see things like this and seeing people argue that their plights are just "sour grapes", and to, "stop playing the race card", really has no idea. And it's even more difficult to institute change in a system run by the privileged who have no idea what the lives of the poor are like. Nobody choose to be born black or into poverty. It's easy to say, "play the hand that you're dealt, when you've started with aces in the hole, or a favorable hand."
Ask HN: What you wish had existed in/with your sneakers?
Well I think the main reason is that you don't want to have hardware dependencies in your software. You instead depend on the kernel socket interface, and the kernel abstracts over hardware.

Most of the situations mentioned are where you explicitly have control over the hardware:

- embedded devices
- high frequency trading -- obviously they control their own hardware
- Google -- ditto, data centers have very specific hardware

My understanding is that you can rely on Intel network cards having a similar programming interface, but there is still a fair bit of diversity in other hardware (correct me if I'm wrong)

I think there's no open source user space TCP stack because then you would have to recreate all the portability of the Linux kernel in user space... although I could be wrong about this.
Because Chromium is written in C++ and very hard to work with. The whole point of Electron is to quickly write apps based on Chromium.
Questions: (Disclaimer, I know only the surface of networking)

"For example, PZP is able to identify the device, rather than its IP address, as the endpoint for data packets, allowing it to accommodate the intermittent nature of mobile connections in a fault-tolerant manner":

In what way is this different from NAT? Is this somehow aware of the phone switching towers (topology changes)? Or is there another advantage? How do they get that information?

"The PacketZoom protocol recovers from dropped packets “gracefully,” with minimal overhead above the amount of data lost in the dropped packets."

I don't know signal processing well enough to know how this works, I'm guessing you don't need to do things in order like TCP, so you can ask to resend and then stich it in?

Where is the beef? Is it in following devices rather than IPs? What does the interface look like?
Why is it important that the CMS be open source? Do you want to fork it and develop your own?

Amperity | Seattle, WA | ONSITE & REMOTE | Full-time

We are building a probabilistic record linkage system to enable unification of customer information from a wide variety of sources at massive scale.

We are hiring experienced engineers to write Clojure (and ClojureScript for the front end inclined) in Seattle, WA. Remote is an option as well for the right candidate.

This is an early stage opportunity at an ambitious, well funded startup company. Full stack Clojure, not "a bit of Clojure on the side". You'll write Clojure all day, solve difficult problems at very large scale, and get paid.

Background in large scale data processing, distributed systems, and machine learning are all major bonuses. Other elements of the stack include Mesos, Apache Aurora, Spark, Kafka, Accumulo, and Onyx.

We’re also looking for a site reliability engineer (SRE) and a data scientist.

For a full listing of positions, see http://jobs.amperity.com -- apply there or reach out to me directly with questions. My email prefix matches my HN handle.
I think it's very, very reasonable to be skeptical of any claims about DDGs actual concern about privacy. Actions speak far louder than words.

Gabe made his first few million by making a classmates.com clone that was the opposite of respectful about privacy. Those actions made clear that he has no ethical or moral stance regarding privacy, and that he will happily violate privacy for profit.

Add to that the fact that he took venture funding. Venture funding aims for a maximized exit price, not a moral stance. The moral stance will disappear the moment your site gains meaningful traction. It's what Ayn Rand (one of your founder's favorte authors) would have wanted.

DDG users who care about privacy are, to be blunt, laughably gullible. Your current business is pro-privacy because:

1) the search context creates sufficient value even without the personal target; and

2) the tech is a dumb layer on top of other tech, and it can't provide personalizaton.

As such, yegg's pretending he cares about privacy... but he's just selling the limitations of his lousy tech as benefits. It's a PT Barnum move. As soon as the tech is better, the privacy will disappear.
The most expensive outage I ever witnessed was due to such an innocuous cosmetic change. In general, I have never been able to notice a clear correlation between what seems likely to fail and what actually fails, therefore I'm fine with restricting update on working code however ugly it is.
Just that, when you run '$ git nonstandard-subcommand', then the git executable looks for anything executable in the path that is named 'git-nonstandard-subcommand'. Then it runs it. That's all. But at that point, git could have been doing something to the environment before invoking the custom script.

You don't have to claim "10x more LOC", if your abstractions are powerful enough to capture a vast breadth of situations in an elegant and not-an-over-inefficient manner.

If you could achieve this feat, I'd say you are already a 10x type programmer. It's good you are better at abstraction, you may not be 10x but you may be 5x/4x and that's significant.

LOC is the worst measure of productivity, but sadly, most managers (mainly, the excel sheet type managers) find it easy because they can use LOC in their shitty formulas.
