I'd give Intellij another try. It is heavy, but you gain a lot from having your IDE understand your static language. And it's really easy to set it up to look noise-free; I almost never touch the menu.

Double shift (to lookup every project symbol) and meta-shift-a (to lookup every IDE function, like M-x) gets me almost everywhere, aside from navigating along definitions/implementations/usage sites which is the reason to use an IDE. Toggle distraction free mode (via meta-shift-a) to get rid of everything beside the open file.

I think the typical way to set it up is to manage the Scala runtime itself (maybe via SBT? I don't even know off-hand), so having it pick up an existing installation is kind of non-standard. Can't remember when I've ever manually downloaded Scala.
I'm a huge fan of gmane, but I mostly use it by it showing up in Google results. I wouldn't feel like it was worth a subscription, and while a 50c charge per thread would probably be a fair reflection of the value for me, the friction would be way too high.
Just a quick note to say how impressive this project is, and that it was fun to read your detailed writeup. Thanks for sharing, it's inspiring and a neat bit of engineering on a lot of levels. I learn as much from mistakes (usually my own, but sometimes of others) so I'm glad you shared those, too.

One question: If you had to start over on this project, what would you do differently? (I am going to guess you would go straight for a six-layer board rather than 4 to simplify layout...)
Communism in eastern europe always operated under the fiction that it had broad popular support. I find it striking that you find this striking!
I've actually said exactly this several times including in a convo with an exec-level ex-Yahoo last night. I don't think it's ever really been possible even for Marissa - the company is public and if you fire thousands of people you are likely to scare the board and shareholders. But I can't think of a middle manager I knew at Yahoo who deserved to stay.
The part they left out is that they most likely have full access to one of you or your employees laptops. They probably just used your own keys to access the server. Which means they probably have access to all your personal info.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but Amazon's reputation doesn't really extend to AWS. I lived in Seattle for 7 years, and AWS workers always seemed baffled by their company's reputation. Everyone who worked for the store had horror stories to tell.

On the other hand it is only a handful people who get to flesh out interesting products for AWS.
This is all good. It justifies a technical report, a blog post, a workshop paper, or publication in venues looking for this kind of owrk.

It doesn't necessarily justify publication in a venue looking for totally new ideas.
"Real" in the sense that any social construct is real.
The components aren't necessarily separate apps, but even if they are, that problem has been solved many times over. Take your pick: HTTP, raw sockets (TCP or unix domain), ZeroMQ, RabbitMQ for larger projects, Shared Memory, pipe(2) (and friends), hell, even message queues and semaphores, if you hate yourself...

Well, I'm currently working on a new version that I'm hoping to sell. I also still need to work on the software.

This won't be an addon, but the next revision will include an expansion header so you can add addons. Should be pretty neat to make an LCD+battery pack "shield" so you can use the SDR as a stand-alone spectrum analyzer.

What I'll actually use it for: I built it because I wanted to learn more about signal processing and the different protocols that common devices use, so I'll be tinkering with all those protocols.

No idea what I'll do after this, maybe that LCD addon I was talking about?
Learn secure coding. I think 80% of secure coding is making sure good coding practice are done, and the rest are spotting algorithm/procedural issues (for example, bad crypto isn't exactly "coding practice", but more of a conceptual fault)
There are reasons to believe that there are people who have a genetic characteristic that enables them to get by on that little sleep. This is a link to the study referenced in the parent post's BBC article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2884988/

Furthermore, human genetic variation being what it is, there is no reason to dismiss "better genetics" in general. There are many genetic differences that make people better or worse than others at performing certain tasks. Some are obvious, some less so. But its certainly plausible that they exist, and dismissing them as part of an "echo chamber" is unjustified.
With 56MHz bandwidth, a lot. You could record and analyze most 802.11 connections (typically 20MHz to 40MHz, except for newer AC hardware that can go to 160MHz).

You could also record the entire FM band in your area at once, all of it. Same with AM and a lot of other bands. It'd also probably work really well for recording things like fire and police bands, with trunking and being able to determine an entire conversation at a time that normally need 2 or more cheaper SDRs to record the trunk and then the channels. That would normally mean you'd probably miss some channels that are at the other end of what you're listening to. It'd also mean you can monitor the entire bandwidth of many of the ISM bands to determine what some misbehaving device is doing.

So many things that I'd love to do with it! I really want one now.

You can waive your copyrights in which case you do not retain them. You can also, as you say, assign a public domain license and retain copyrights, but that isn't considered "public domain" per se.

'Examples for works actively dedicated into public domain by their authors are reference implementations of cryptographic algorithms,[6][7][8] NIH's ImageJ,[9] and the CIA's The World Factbook.[10] The term is not normally applied to situations where the creator of a work retains residual rights, in which case use of the work is referred to as "under license" or "with permission".'

It's more nuanced, and more sinister.

Getty maintains the "exclusive right" to license an image on behalf of the copyright owner (typically a photographer). The photographer does not assign ownership, just the right to license.

They use automation to find cases of license violation--using the image without paying Getty a license fee. That triggers an automated message saying "You owe us $500."

Getty doesn't (as far as I can tell) verify that the photographer owns the rights to the image, and when a person asks for that proof, Getty's response is to "Check the website" and will only submit further proof upon subpoena.

In a monarchy simply decriminalizing something can happen with the stoke of a pen. There's no roadblock other than a lack of desire.
The fact that some of those things are needed is insane to me but you are correct.
That's not what you said. You said no one on HN doesn't bat an eye at Uber, AirBnB, etc. I personally think the way those two companies in particular flaunt laws is unethical, and I think they should be punished until they start following them. That's not the same as thinking they shouldn't exist.
I was brought up in the U.S. in the Cold War and regularly heard that several states Novikov mentions became "democratic" and underwent "democratization" in the 1990s because of the fall of the Soviet Union. It was striking to me that he used precisely the same word and concept to refer to the creation of the states that fell at that time, so that it was used unironically and even routinely to refer both to establishing and destroying them.

One way to do that would be to give a shit about what you're doing even after you switch careers.
As a person who has worked for several years with two major government contractors, several agencies, and countless projects, this is humorous to me, because I have never, not once, seen a large project estimate end up anywhere close to reality.

Typically the process is that the contractor has an internal pricing team that figures out how much to bid on a contract. After the contractor wins the bid (assuming fixed price), they then staff it with some combination of employees with various rates to meet the bid cost. Then those employees write up a detailed set of requirements (keep in mind that this occurs after the bid has been accepted), and then the project begins and things really get screwed up. Life happens. People leave the company. Clients are waaaaaaaaaay slower than anticipated taking care of required administrative work like approving user access and granting PIV cards. Clients change their mind or didn't account for several important considerations that may or may not involve huge amounts of work.

So how do the companies remain profitable through all this? It's usually that as the due date moves closer and closer, employees are expected to just work more hours to account for the missed estimate.

This may come off as cynical, but the truth is that there is not a soul on Earth who could accurately estimate how much time will be required on a multiyear contract given how many variables are involved. So, I'm back to my original point- estimates are largely worthless and a waste of time. Yes, they are a means to an end, but are in no way a reliable indicator as to how much time or effort is actually required to complete the work.

Both of these articles fail to mention that as of Postgres 9.5, you can use logical replication rather than WAL. This is why Amazon's RDS now supports multi-region slaving with Postgres.
You can draw parallels between autocratic periods in Russian history, but then you lose everything that's interesting and end up with a kind of cartoon.

Even in Soviet times, when the ruling class was tied into the straitjacket of Marxist ideology, there were large shifts in foreign policy and attitude towards the outside world as different factions assumed power.

Russia has a complicated relationship with the West that is not well served by a simplistic reading of its history.
People already set up pre-filter "tasks" to qualify the competence of Amazon Mechanical Turk workers for their real work. There's probably some good data there that Amazon could use to do this pretty well, if they wanted.

How are you finding Grubhub? I've been trying OrderUp, but it's a little bit of a mess, and their customer support has yet to answer an inquiry that's a couple days stale by now. I gather Grubhub is more or less eating everybody's lunch, excuse me, but before I sign up with yet another bloody website, I'd like to get an opinion from someone who's already using it.

>A lot of sites using that technique also let you click an X button or click the darkened non-form area to continue. If that's supported, I always choose it as a tiny protest (in hopes that someone actually profiles how click-outs are happening).

I click the X/non-form area because I'm too lazy to read the text and figure out which of the buttons won't lead me to another form/sign me up/whatever.

If they ever start making that X the "haha, got you" I'll have to start paying more attention. That'll suck.

> This hamster has a name. It’s Hammy. ... Who is the person who enjoys this?

I think it's a mistake to assume that enjoyment of that hamster defines a class of people unto itself. Maybe one person who enjoys it is a 45 year old housewife, maybe another is a 22 year old graphic designer, maybe another is a 63 year old retired accountant. Among "people who enjoy a cartoon hamster" the thing they most have in common is probably just their enjoyment of that hamster.

Fascinating! I never gave that much thought to hair except about how it looks, but this is a whole new dimension.

I might give this book a read. I'm getting the same sense of realization about the historical power of hair from this except that I felt when I first saw Kill La Kill and realized that not only does clothing have the potential for great power in the future, it has indeed been very powerful for longer than written history itself.
I'm acutely curious how we can attack the problem of detecting undisclosed AI breakthroughs, particularly those made by organizations uninterested in ever revealing them. Commercially, yes, many organizations want to boast about their AI, and we may find those AIs via games or news. But many organizations involved in national security and financial markets will want to hide their advantage. I would love to hear more about how Open AI thinks this problem can be approached.

Do they talk to a human anybody other than the recruiter? Interviews aren't just for the company to evaluate the engineer, it's vice versa as well.
If that's true, I'm fairly sure that he:

1. Should not have told you that.

2. Is not happy about you saying something about it.

This leads me to believe that you don't actually know this person.
yes. except that all other clients have auto commit on. thus if you transition from that to auto-commit off. You face two issues:
1. you don't know. and you thing you commited something but actually you didn't
2. you forgot and you committed something. but transaction keeps an row lock open and you bring down the server... :)

If companies operated like that, people would not invest in them. Why would you invest in a company that does not put your share growth as a priority, when others will?

Besides, the shareholders own the company. Why shouldn't a company prioritize those who own it? The shareholders take on risk by providing capital to the company, and they deserve to be compensated for that risk.

There are some things you can do with group policy to make updates not install automatically on Win10 Enterprise. Not sure about other versions and I don't have a good link right now that describes the process, and it's not trivial, but not impossible (on Enterprise).

22 dollars is absolutely ridiculous for parking (except maybe in NYC...) but at least you can opt out of parking by not bringing a car. "Resort fees" are not optional thus should be included with the cost of the room. Same with booking/processing fees when buying tickets.

Based on my experience as an air traffic controller which requires more tests than I care to state, when we would transfer facilities we were given oral tests to gauge our experience. We would mark down the areas deficient that needed review and check areas off where knowledge was deemed satisfactory. There would be zero air traffic controllers if we dismissed candidates answering one question wrong regardless of simplicity.

I think the LISA paper does a good job describing an approach.

basically don't allow people to commit changes directly to the underlying system, require the changes from 2 administrators to be captured and then compare them for equivalence. (what equivalence means can be bit for bit equality at the most basic binary level, or perhaps some parsing that can verify equivalence at language level for configurations)

if the changes are equivalent commit them. otherwise point out the differences.

As the paper also discusses, can be used with a single administrator to make the administration auditable, simply capture all changes before they are committed.
You have to remember that there was an internal narrative to communism. These people didn't sit on their chairs stroking white cats, thinking about how evil they were being. Many of them were opportunists, but there were also true believers.
And everyone used the language of true believers to justify why things were the way they were.

The idea was that most people in capitalist countries were oppressed by the economic system, and that in the people's democracies they finally had a chance to have a say in how the country was governed, through workers' councils, a Party that represented them, and various forms of collective rule.

The difference was that one is real democracy, and the other a sham. But notice how even the most authoritarian states go to great lengths to pretend they have broad social support. Everyone loves democracy!
