I've seen it in a lot of obviously-fiction books. The first time I noticed it was in a Disk World novel, which was so obviously fictional-and-yet-based-on-real-places-and-people that I thought it was a joke. The back even had descriptions of the locals in the series with that of the continent Klatch saying "Not loosely based on Africa at all. Honestly."
If you make it a requirement to spend 5 dollars per month for using the product, then I'd say it doesn't fit open licenses. If you want to enforce the license in a structured way you might as well sell (a subscription to) the product. You can of course donate any profit you make.
Some of the are pretty long, but the worst of them (call-with-current-continuation most famously) usually have abbreviations (call/cc).

Java's evil isn't just it's long class names: It's also the language's general verbosity: in some cases, I'd say it approaches COBOL levels of verbose. The other evil is the import paths: Python got this one right. You don't want org.companyname.lang.java.org.net.project.net.classes.AbstractClassFactoryFactory.

That import path isn't as much of an exageration as you'd think: if Java had been invented a little earlier, it would have been banned from most computers as a criminal waste of inodes.
I was curious to know what FreeBSD versions NVidia supports, and I cannot believe it's 7.3 to 10-CURRENT. This makes me believe they will quickly follow up with 11-CURRENT. This is very cool in terms of FreeBSD's kernel API.

http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86/367.44/REA...

We know that the likes of Pixar or LANL use NVidia on Linux, for them to take Linux seriously, but is there information who the important FreeBSD and Solaris customers are? Is it The Weather Channel's FreeBSD IntelliStar system that motivates NVidia to support it? And what about Solaris?

I mean, I want to believe NVidia supports FreeBSD and Solaris because they already support X11, but these are three different kernel drivers. With a business like NVidia, which isn't supporting open source graphics stacks like AMD or Intel are, I have to ask myself what the commercial motivators are.

All startups are successful if you ignore the ones which fail. True, but not very interesting.

Not excluding the failures is the point of the exercise. One cannot choose to succeed, one can only choose the number of founders. The question is how many founders leads to the greatest probability of success.

Although approximately 50% of successes have one founder, it does not follow that approximately 50% of startups with one founder succeed. If 70% of startups have one founder, then those startups are under-represented amongst the winners. OTOH, if 20% of startups have two founders then, with 30% of winners having two founders, they are over-represented.

If the numbers I just made up were accurate, then it would be better to have two founders than one, even though most successful startups have one.
Lol, your indignation made me laugh ... um, does laughter have any value in your philosophical framework?

>I covered that!!! Do you actually READ the comments you respond to? //

Right back at your there - it has a value because I value it. Might seem a bit too self-referential but that's how value works.

>How do YOU know what I'm doing and what my time is worth? //

I don't. There's extrinsic and intrinsic values for sure - if you're chatting inanely to me on HN when you would normally be performing successful heart surgery on people who want to live longer then the opportunity cost [in terms of life enrichment for the people who would have been saved] is high, for sure, but that doesn't mean the intrinsic value is negative.

You appear to be arguing that because there is a potential for foregoing financial gain through having a conversation that the _value_ of the conversation -- the ability of it to enrich, educate, improve, entertain, etc. -- is negative. The true value can't be counted, you don't know it's effect on me and I don't know the effect on you (or others who are reading). Maybe an onlooker has read something in the conversation and that's inspired their PhD thesis on the teleology of communication.

IMO you appear to too readily decry the measurable negative aspect - potential for foregoing financial gain (opportunity cost) - whilst you under-estimate the potential for positive improvement, extrinsic value, and the like.

[FWIW Currently I'm suffering with mental health problems and this conversation has actually made me realise that I can be positive. I'm not saying this to try and shoe-horn in an extrinsic value, that's a genuine self-reflection.]

Happy to hear any further responses if you can steer away from declarations of "ridiculous!" and "annoying!" and illucidate why you feel it's ridiculous, how it conflicts with your value judgement in expanded terms?

Agreed, in the last few months I've been using Danger (http://danger.systems) to ensure that the OSS projects I work on ( CocoaPods/CocoaPods, artsy/eigen, artsy/emission ) all have consistent Changelogs. Works out nicely.
Ah, yes. Cross-platform is quite painful at times. But hey, I'm glad you found something that works.

You might also wish to try Chibi for embedding, but both it and s7 are pretty good. I am also unsure as to how POSIX dependant chibi is.
You've certainly reproduced Dijkstra's opinion on the matter faithfully. Given that his life's work was pretty much to jet between conferences and bad-mouth those of his colleagues who actually DID produce useful software, it stands to reason that he would elevate mathematics over engineering.
Ups. Nice.

More questions. How did they (you?) select this object to give it more attention?
It's also about familial/class privilege. Once you get in with a good mentor (for academics that means advisor)...it sets you up for life. Getting into a good lab (train under uber mentor X or Y), no matter if your work is crap or not (definitely not implying elite lab work is poo, simply emphasizing to make a point) will gain you citations and socialization that a lesser one would not. Want to find good work from university of Smallville USA (or equiv int'l uni)...it exists, you just wouldn't know it from the hype. It's nobodies fault really (except our own), just the way the system is setup. To break out takes extreme amounts of work, and likely can't happen. So you end up with entrenched "genealogies" like the one for mathematics. I'd suspect you could find the same in computer science (despite it being a rather young field) and computer engineering. Things like double blind conference submissions help, but even there there is trendiness to consider as a limiting factor. Going further, breaking out of this rut requires us to disseminate how to get ahead more than anything else. Who should people talk to? Where should they apply? What programs are available? What are the best conferences/journals to submit to? These are all things people in these elite circles have (even if they don't have the $$ background) which provide them a leg up over everyone else. How we even the playing field, no idea...it's a monumental task. I for one start by not caring where somebody went to school, what they look like, what their gender is, nor how they pronounce things. Can we all do that? I certainly hope so.
We had this in flowdock before we switched to slack, on a team of probably 700 or so at the time. It made it far easier to filter out chatter when dealing with an urgent issue (no need to change rooms or remind people to be quiet for a while), and I haven't really noticed it encouraging pointless chatter. I seriously miss this feature in slack.
In particular, one rarely has more than one advisor, perhaps two in some circumstances.
Ha, I just wrote a comment along these same lines. Given that many of the slide decks I had as a grad student had extensive genealogies at the start indicating where they evolved from I suspect that this is very much the case....despite it being a very young field.
It sounds like you might benefit from starting our joining a mastermind. Is that something you have considered?

(I'm not sure how universal "mastermind" is, so here's a link to help explain it a bit, and how to run one: http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/episodes/episode-167)
Yeah, you can have POSIX, or you can have cross platform: pick one.

Picolisp is interesting, but as a schemer, I wish it had TCO. Lexical scope would be nice too: macros are hard enough to code, don't make us worry about macro programming when we're not writing macros of fexprs.

I agree that if there is a monetary requirement it fails to be open source. That said, I appreciate the intention.

What about requiring a "powered by" type of mark that includes the organization that they support. Then you can let the organization audit that. They would know whether or not they received the $5.
In microeconomics, the firm would use marginal gross profit not marginal revenue [sales].

Think of Amazon, Walmart, or any firm with significant COGS [cost of goods sold]. It's clear that they can't hire employees inline with marginal revenue.
Those are all good points but there is one more important point, language. Almost all European countries have their own languages, you cannot fully integrate unless you know the language of the country.

Integrating into US is easier since most skilled immigrants are good with English. Personally speaking language was was one of the important criteria when I made the decision to move to Australia from India.
Just checking a few random movies.

Movies I checked that have this disclaimer:

- Despicable Me 2

Movies I checked that don't have this disclaimer:

- Tangled

It's usually among the very last lines of the end credits, among the statements about dedication to the environment, distance from the tobacco industry, lack of animal abuse etc. If you're not watching the end credits you will never notice it.
Well great, now could someone come up with DNS improved by Machine Learning trough Deep Convolutional Neural Networks? That's the only missing thing for a BS-Bingo on my card.
Drawing. With programming, I can create a remarkable amount of things out of almost nothing, and I always wanted to do the same with pictures, but there's just something missing (and yeah, I tried the whole side-of-brain approach).

With a lot of other lacking abilities, I feel like I could just punch through with enough dedication and discipline (music, business etc.). But some simple lines and curves...
Redirect Entire Domain with Flask
Well, on a lispm, yes. However, most of us don't have lispms (as much as we might want one!), and the symbolics VM is a pain to run. In CL, you don't do that sort of thing.

In any case, at least a few Schemes have images, so it's a moot point in that debate. It's still interesting, though.
I read this line of argument fairly regularly and am continually amazed that more people making this argument aren't off starting their own companies to scoop themselves up a heaping helping of this easy and undeserved money.

(As text is a poor medium to communicate tone, I'm positing that it's not nearly as easy as it seems, therefore nor are the profits for the successful as undeserved as they seem.)

Compared to Linux distributions for me the most interesting difference of FreeBSD isn't the license or somewhat exclusive features like dtrace/ZFS. It is the release model which separates the "stable/LTS" base and the rolling 3rd party software.

In (for example) Debian stable I have a very reliable system but any annoying bugs in end user software will remain for the next several years. But going to a rolling release distro could result in unexpected troubleshooting sessions while I actually had to be productive instead.

So there are drawbacks of going to a full rolling or a full stable distro and imho the FreeBSD model is the best balance between both extremes. Why isn't there a Linux distro like this?
I had/have a similar feeling.

I have thought about it some time ago and came up with the following proposal:

Lies are distinguished from fiction by the intention to deceive about the real world, as opposed to counterfactual imagining.
Today I dumped a not-insignificant amount of time into trying to package ntfy into a single exe on Windows (using PyInstaller. It sort-of works, but was way way more painful than it needed to be. Python packaging still sucks in 2016. Go is way ahead of Python in that regard, but comes with its own quirks (GitHub by default, always uses the HEAD version of libraries, GOPATH)
That's true but I don't think it's cheap enough at these pay levels for that to matter a whole lot.
Yes but why build a startup when you can build a business :)
How people don't notice: you have a list of thousands of gene names. It's impossible to be familiar with all of them, so it's hard to notice if one of them gets auto-corrected to something else.

The SEPT9 gene is problematic enough to be memorable, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEPT9
Why can't Torch utilize more threads in CPU cores?
Taken from the article itself:
"both of them cannot run normally when threads usage is set to be bigger than the number of CPU cores on desktop CPU."
Do the authors set up the system correctly?

You're right that Torch is faster than TensorFlow in RNN. But Torch is slower than TesnorFlow in AlexNet and ResNet.

In what universe is it reasonable to be forced to hand over 35% of the currency that you receive in private trade or be thrown in prison where you are kept in a small enclosure, and have a high chance of developing mental illness and suffering physical and sexual abuse.

You have an inhuman ideology.
Same condition here.

I have found that spending time with clients (users in the trenches especially) is enough conversational stimulation I need. I know I'm encouraging the idea of seeing trees instead of the big picture forest ... but as a lone workhorse resource, you want to avoid non-actionable ideas like the plague.
If you don't want to touch any config files, you can get PC-BSD.

Setting up FreeBSD is easier than, say, Arch Linux. The OS install is a menu based "next, next, next" process like in Debian. Installing a desktop environment… honestly I can't imagine how it CAN be difficult. `pacman -S xfce`, `pkg install xfce`, same thing everywhere.
Well after reading this post the obvious difference is that namecoin exists and this is just a idea that the author is still trying to work out.
Honestly I'm not seeing any improvement from powerd++, normal powerd worked fine for this dual-core + HT processor.
We have an oversupply of capital which is causing a wide range of problems. Taxing capital gains at a higher rate than income is likely a good idea. Remember companies don't become more profitable if there stock price increases.

PS: ROI directly relates to the supply of capital.
well, I was calling it open source in the sense that it could allow the same kind of collaborative development that open source allows.

Any company or individual could see it, modify it and sell it.

Perhaps it's not open source by some definitions of it but it seems to me that it shares some of its characteristics
> I don't expect end-users of most open source software to be satisfied with either the high-level nature of commit titles, or their minutia.

In my experience, they aren't. They want a top-level view of why/if they should upgrade.

In my dayjob, when preparing a release, we use tools to dump the git commit messages into the head of the CHANGELOG, then edit it back into user-facing text. We omit changes that are not user-facing (eg. 'gem you've never heard of upgraded to 0.4.4') and focus on changes they care about (eg. 'Redact credentials from URLs in a cached buildpack's output'). See for example our Ruby buildpack CHANGELOG[0].

We build our own binaries for buildpacks. So in addition, for our Github releases, we take the CHANGELOG entry and append a table of supported binaries and default versions[1]. These show up in the CHANGELOG only if we add or drop a core binary.

We work out of Tracker, so we link to Tracker stories, bugs and chores for every mentioned in the CHANGELOG or release notes.

The income tax is a grotesque violation of Human Rights and should be abolished. Threatening to throw someone in prison for refusing to disclose their income or hand over a share of the currency they receive in private trade is antithetical to a free society.
In addition to that, there might be an effect due to the media hype around investments of Warren Buffet. People see in the news that Buffet invested in companyXYZ so they think that must be a smart idea and also invest in the same company and therefore driving the price higher...
This is going to sound insane on a site like this but you don't have to live in SF. You can certainly choose too, but if you look at the pros/cons of job offers, housing just makes SF untenable. There are plenty of other cities with plenty of other jobs.
The US has overtime laws as well, but certain types of job are exempt from them. I don't know all the details of the law but in practice, basically all white-collar jobs are exempt.

Exactly. I don't think you can talk about rent control in California without acknowledging property tax control. In the long term, this reduces landlords' expenses, which is a savings they ought to be able to pass on to their renters.
This scarcely known researcher Sigusmondo Polcastro at the top of the list seemed a bit strange. 105,277 descendents, why so many? I looked him up and clicked through his geneaology. Turns out if follow through a few generations, you find Carl Friedrich Gauss, with 74930, or about 75% of Mr. Polcastro's family, and the first name I recognized along that tree. After Gauss you find a tree of mathemeticians like Bessel, Klein, Hilbert. It seems a bit strange not to mention him.

I'm not sure about being a performance disaster, memmove is a really fast operation and a circular buffer has its own problems regarding cache use. If you can, measure. If you can't, use the simpler algorithm.
A lot of the stories on that site are from corporate, not the warehouses.

Also I know a lot of Googlers as well (hard not to living in Mountain View), and they work roughly 40 hour weeks in general. It is night and day between Amazon and Google based on the stories that are coming out from current & former employees. I've heard issues about Apple as well, but nothing on the level of the stories coming out of Amazon.
This is likely putting too much faith in the Crunchbase data.

In my experience, Crunchbase very frequently leaves out some founders. Often, only the most prominent founder will be reported, thus underreporting the instances of having 2+ founders.
Ah got it. I thought the author meant the disclaimer came right in the beginning of the credits. Thanks for clearing that up!
That seems like a good idea, and is along the lines of things I've been thinking about to verify the donation. However if a business did not want to comply with the license they would probably just not include this "powered by" mark and we would be where we started.
In France this effect is very visible as well. Many of my colleagues at the CEA (a very good research institute where many people from the French elite system work) had parents working in research as well, many of them at the same institutes, and I think if you'd look at the statistics in detail you'd probably see some strong bias for self selection within the system. That doesn't mean that the people in the system aren't very good (they usually are), just that it's very difficult for outsiders to get in. This in turn is probably due to the lack of knowledge about how the admission system works: While the centralized tests are of course fair in the sense that everyone gets the same questions, being well prepared for them takes years of preparation that already starts by selecting the right school for your children.

What makes me a bit sad here is that there is probably much more scientific talent out there that we're not tapping into by not providing good study conditions for everyone, and this is something that we must change.
Good point. This is one reason why I advocate a fee-per-service model over an hourly one. Potential client wants XYZ done, and seeks someone who can fulfill that need. Engineers quote prices, client chooses someone based on price and their reputation and portfolio. Etc.

Or in a simpler sense: You need someone to perform weekly maid service? $X please. You want a foundation dug and poured for your new satellite office? $Y please. Hourly wages in many cases are just inviting abuse and drain employee productivity and motivation.

Of course a flat fee would be rather difficult to implement in direct customer service sectors. Hiring a cashier to process a certain number of customer check-outs or a certain amount of purchases for a flat fee would be problematic, because there's no way of knowing how long that would take (so the employee can't schedule the rest of their life) and the employer wouldn't want the employee to have much control over what time of day they work.
