Paid for software usually comes in two flavours: turnkey or with consultants. In both cases the promise is that the software will in the end run, and those who need to will actually be able to use it. Also, that the software does something that should be useful to you.

Open source software comes "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. So, who is promising that the software will run, that people will be able to use it and that it does something actually useful to the large enterprise?

If the enterprise has never used that software, long time employees have usually no professional experience with it, so it is risky have them install and run it.

In my limited experience, adoption of open source software by large enterprises comes most of the times through consultants, hired not to install the software but to solve a business problem. The consultants promise to solve the problem with the software, and that the software will run etc.
US population centers on the coasts and plenty of military/air force bases are well within reach of most major Canadian population centers and throw in a blockade at sea it would be a very assymetric war. This isn't the early 19th century.

But what's the point? The US doesn't need tundra and tarsands... or a French Canadian resistance. It would also probably through the UK into play in a really awkward position.

Oh yes, Number of the Beast started out good. That's actually what makes it more frustrating.

I think part of my problem with Fear no Evil is that I read it just after reading all of the Lazarus Long stories (which I enjoyed a lot) and coming from that Fear no Evil just wasn't as good...

The Hidden Danger of Big Data
Here's your answer for GROMACS (and it sucks)...

http://www.prace-ri.eu/IMG/pdf/wp120.pdf

Even so, right now, little would please me more technologically than a competitive Xeon Phi offering, but while KNL is better than KNC, my inside info says it sucks too (it would have been a lot more interesting, just like Altera's Stratix 10, if it had shipped before GP100 and GP102).

Right now, I have more confidence in AMD GPUs right now than I have in Xeon Phi. This 3rd party benchmark is particularly interesting (and it doesn't look like anyone at NVIDIA is paying any attention to it):

https://techaltar.com/amd-rx-480-gpu-review/2/

Sure, NVIDIA is still in the lead, but not with the ~10x margins they used to have over AMD.

Finally, I figuratively feel like punching the next person who makes the BS scaling argument over raw performance. GPUs scale too if they're coded correctly. And cloud datacenters are the worst place for that given their craptastic ~10 Gb/s interconnect subject to arbitrary network weather effects.

Or butchering Seymour Cray: Your life depends on winning a race, would you bet your life on a 1,350 HP Venom GT or on 20 179 HP Scion FRSs? I mean collectively that's almost 3600 HP, right? Except it's even worse because for GPUs vs CPUs, it's like they priced the Scion FRS like a Venom GT and vice versa.

I wish you luck finding Xeon Phi winning anything but synthetic tests against yesterday's news:

Also cheaper.
There is no best.

What I would recommend though is creating a webpage that is static and gets updated dynamically with angular/react/vue with a rest server like tomcat/flask/express with the database of your choise.

When i first found angular i loved it, I never really given react a fair chance and i have recently started to use vue.js which is great.

As a rest server i am using flask with flask-restplus because its simple and i like python.

As a database i use MongoDB because its easy to set up, i'm sure there's better alternatives but i don't runt anything on a bigger scale so I havn't put much thought into it.

Yep, ChromeOS developers can feel pretty screwed over. Previously a packaged app could run in any of the hundreds of millions of Chrome (desktop) installations, as well as ChromeOS machines. For example, Windows corporate desktops and Chromebooks.

There is no clear way to port your app to run on whatever conglomeration of features might meet your needs.
Using a specific company's Technology, in today's socially networked world, is a choice that you impose onto your friends, family and fellow citizens.

I send you an email to your Gmail account, Google reads it. You choose to use Apple products, companies are forced to comply to Apple's unilateral and unaccountable app store policies, likely dropping other distribution platforms or 3.5mm audio jacks in the process. You give critical mass to the payment system of your choice, businesses and governments drop the ones they don't like or need anymore.

Your choice is not just your own, it's a choice that you make for all the rest of us as well. I have no say over what options I get deprived of because of other people's choices. That's why we have government, because as a society we need a way to prevent you from screwing over the rest of us following your poor choices that give power to companies that use it to my detriment.

If your choice only affects you, do whatever you want. If it affects all of us, let all of us decide on it together.

Think harder... how to bring self driving cars to the world...

Currently, bus/overground/tubes/whatever have only few lines and they can cover a lot of users.

Tomorrow, self driving cars could cover only the few main roads of a city. That would be enough to be useful for 80% of people in the city. That ignores the hard 90% roads which are harder to do.

We'd still have to walk down the block to reach the uber and that's annoying, but that's a huge progress over the current public transportation systems (whom coverage vary hugely by city and country, to the point there might not be any).

Ask HN: Ever heard audio injection on United airlines wifi?
August 19, 2016 – SFO to ORD – my wife and I connect to the United Wifi network. Panasonic is the operator of the service.

Before actually paying for the service, I launch Google Play Music and begin playing a cached track. (It was clear that my iPad had no access to the open internet at this time, but it was on the LAN.) As I begin playing the track, I hear a second audio track playing underneath the music. It's a 15-second audio ad, on repeat, for the Chase United Explorer credit card and its 30,000 bonus mile offer.

When I flip up the iOS system tray (by dragging a finder from the bottom of the screen up), I see that the track playing is flashing intermittently between the correct metadata for my Google Play Music track, and a United URL containing a path to some audio file.

This turned out to be repeatable for the entire flight. Using the headphone remote to pause and unpause, the ad would initiate with each pause/unpause press.

Wondering if anyone else has seen this.
In the pre-HFT era there were manual day traders doing spreading, arbitrage and short-term speculation based on the order book. A famous example would be the SOES bandits of the 90s. They would pick-off slow NASDAQ market makers and offer the shares back out on nascent ECNs like Island to make a few ticks.

Some of them worked for firms as professionals, but many traded on retail platforms similar to what you'd see from Interactive Brokers or TT these days. Still you are right that the average investor never traded in this fashion. At worst, the people HFT put out of work were trading as a profitable hobby similar to playing poker online.
Do municipalities collect and release any data on how people move around the area? For example, start and end points, with usual times for leaving or arriving. A large enough sampling of something like this seems important for planning, and I assume the real planners have it.
It could be that, faced with a -ve rate, account holders can simply withdraw everything from their account, thus no revenue is generated for the banks and no guarantee that account holders aren't hoarding their cash instead of spending it.

That's a fair concern. However, as of 2015 they already have between 3 and 5 % of the cloud market [0][1]. It is likely they are already profitable with the usage they have (cloud is pretty high margin). There have been very few google products that were officially taken out of beta. Google Search and Google Mail are two of those.

True, Google has a terrible reputation for dumping small dev and consumer facing products. Their cloud offerings are a completely different category. Not least of which, because they have no free tier -- only free trial. Anyone who continues to use Google Cloud products is paying for them.

I read the original article when it was posted to HN a while back. It's a bit too detailed, but provides a very comprehensive analysis of why the Japanese system just works.
I have a Paperwhite and two Windows 10 systems. Works fine on both.

Is your system completely vanilla (mine were fresh installs onto empty drives from official media), or could your OEM have snuck something in?

I'm not saying you're wrong, or that Windows isn't to blame. There just must be more to it than Windows 10 anniversary update + Kindle Paperwhite. Maybe you and others affected have some other thing in common.

"Revolt" doesn't work because democracy provides a pressure relief valve that prevents any significant mass of people from wanting to revolt. Notice how the "hopeful" prepper culture is based around passively waiting for things to "inevitably" fall apart rather than actively forming a militia.

"Leave" doesn't work because there's no place to go. The US empire is nearly everywhere, the best you can do is escape to the different monetary spheres of Russia/China and buy some time.

IMHO our two options are 1. digital freedom through cryptography, or 2. become slave cells of a larger organism.

The first is a fucking long shot, but I don't see any other possibility for individualism.

Then again as I get older, I can't help but shake the feeling we're really just observing bog-standard societal collapse.

USB is also a very ambiguous protocol. Observe the amount of problems device suspend on Linux was until someone noticed that the one minute mentioned in the spec was a recommendation rather than a rule.
The universe outside your window won't be passing by faster than the speed of light either. But that's a bit moot, since Lorentz contraction will make the distances in your line of travel shorter. Also time will pass more slowly for you. So subjectively, it's true that you can get anywhere in an arbitrarily small amount of time if you have arbitrarily large amounts of energy, but the rest of the universe will still see you only approaching the speed of light.
This is temporary. Contactless payments will change that so that electronic payment becomes faster than cash for small transactions (as is already happening in many places).
Making a play for the CNN TLA I see...
I'm glad Tyler is talking about this, as he tends to be the leading edge of a lot of policy discussion around newish ideas, and the Japanese zoning system is a marvel of both efficacy and simplicity.

While the Japanese system is implemented and managed on the national level, I can imagine this being more effective on a more granular level, while still being much higher up than the city level as to avoid the political repercussions of local special interest landowners.
Funny thing is that NT is micro-kernel (to some degree at least), but Microsoft keep moving things in and out of kernel space with each release as they are weighing performance vs stability.
They're not strictly the same, of course.

The trivial "safe" C++ linked list prevents you from dereferencing uninitialized memory, leaking resources and performing incorrect type conversions, which are the typical issues you'll find in any C linked-list implementation. But there's no compile-time check for the actual lifetime of the objects. This means you can manually destruct the same object twice, for example, and the compiler will not warn.

RAII can get you /very/ close, but since it's not enforced at the compiler level, Rust guarantee is definitely stronger.

My main point is that the strong guarantee comes also at a significant complexity cost, and I'm still not sold it's worth it in many conditions.
I am not entirely sure, as a web developer I've never seen a certificate pass all SSL checkers yet chrome and firefox on my computer (up-to-date) won't load them.

Show HN: Cohesion – A tool for measuring Python class cohesion
So we should send one out now, and hope we're still around when it gets there.

And each time we complete development of something better send one of those.

Can you imagine how pissed we'd be 31,000 years from now, not having sent whatever we finally determined to be the best we could do, when we could have done it? It may take N thousand years to get something there, but only four years to get data back. It's worth it.
The reason for the complexity of that implementation are compiler bugs/nonconfromance workarounds, a fully constexpr implementation and attempt to match a standard spec.
Sounds like a riveting to-do list, with lots of big implications for the folks back home.

> We'd need a whole raft of breathroughs, including radiation shielding techniques to kick the interstellar medium out of the way of the probe

Game changer for nuclear power and propulsion, in terms of safety. If we did this with matter, that means we can get closer to hot things [1]. If we did this with energy, ha! - we can now start harvesting edge-of-magnetosphere antimatter and explore mining and terraforming using directed energy.

> as well as some sort of beam propulsion system

If we can beam massive amounts of power out that means we (a) have massive amounts of power up there and (b) can beam (a) home [2].

> and then some way of getting data back home across interstellar distances

Either we figured out how to keep lasers (or some other stream of stuff) columnar over super-long distances or we broke new ground in information theory. Either way, getting a grainy picture home from Proxima Centauri on an apple of an energy budget means getting lots more closer to home around faster and more efficiently.

Ask HN: Alternatives to TFS
We're in need of the standard tool set for our software development. The team is small (6) and very senior and has been getting by for years basically with each engineer working in isolation. The company has new goals for growth and this approach clearly will not scale. So before we try to bring additional engineers in, I need to establish a respectable process and tool set.

Ideally, I'd like to introduce a unified system that covers all life-cycle activities from Requirements to Release (we're not a web server company, so dev-ops is not needed). Unified simply because I'd like to minimize the amount of inter-product integration and version management we have to suffer. We're lean. Well. Chubby, mostly, but not much time for a lot of tool set administration.

Team Foundation Server appears to have the features we'd need, but we're not a Microsoft house, mostly 'C', with a sprinkling of Python and TCL. The interesting bits are:

- source code management
- reporting (I assume that means bugs/feature requests)
- requirements management
- project management (for both agile software development and waterfall teams)
- automated builds
- lab management
- testing and release management capabilities

I sort of like Friday, but I wouldn't really recommend it to someone who isn't also a Heinlein completist. I don't think it is bad, but it's not one of his stronger novels, and I understand why a lot of people really don't care for it; Heinlein is always most controversial when he writes first-person female characters, and there are good reasons why that's so.
If I read this right, free speech usurped the contract that prevented striking.

Could the air traffic controllers have said "it's unsafe" as a free speech protection? How about letter carriers who can't strike? Could they say conditions are unsafe and walk off with a similar free speech protection?
Very neat. I love reading about cities and urban planning. I have "The Death and Life of American Cities" by Jane Jacobs laying around which I need to read and I read another book about architecture here in New York City and how it has evolved over time in response to things such as fires and 9/11. Really really very interesting stuff.

This was a great post. Mixed use cities are generally much more desirable in my eyes. The American suburbs are a blight on the land which make our nation so much more carcentric than it needs to be spreading the population out and reducing the efficacy of our now underfunded and sprawled out public transportation system.

Of course it's not a shocker that such a system evolved in a nation with such a staggering amount of land available to it's citizens who live and have lived in a nation with huge amounts of racial segregation.

The idea of a set of national guidelines makes sense from an engineering perspective because small towns can't afford engineers often (or may not even think to seek out their expertise) and in the end you have a group of individuals with no qualifications determining the fate of their town with arbitrarily decided rules.

And rating things by their nuisance (traffic plus noise) levels is a really neat way to quantify whether a building should exist in a given area.

Awesome! Lots of new things to entertain the mind.

Things that sometimes happen to people, male or female, that aggravate people on the Internet. Interestingly, most falls under the category of talking trash. Ignoring that is the solution. The next worst thing that happens is them leaking nude photos or personal information. One can immunize against a lot of that by simply not putting it out there. The last thing they might do is call people to disrupt your life. One essentially has to make some calls themselves to explain the situation. That part is still quite disruptive but rarely happens.

All in all, your counterpoint is a combination of uncommon stuff that's easy to ignore and rare stuff that shouldn't dictate the rule. The most likely outcome is a heated discussion between two parties on the forum that ends on the forum or spills onto some later comments. Strange you left that one off.
While i love rust, i do agree with @lkiux it can at time be over hyped.Rust memory feature (borrow checker ?), which seems to be rust claim to fame takes too much mindshare. Between RAII,deterministic destructors,move semantics, shared_ptr and allocator, it seems to me rust memory management feature is addressing problems that peolpe had 10/15 years ago forgoing the advances made in C++ and Dlang.

The feature IMO which make rust really great, usually only get mentioned in passing : well define compile time environement and compilation process,fast compile, sane macro system, ML like type system with pattern matching, great tooling and ecosystem out of the box.
