Thank you, for what your represent, for what you aspire, and for what you decided to teach us.

>An alternative way of thinking about this is that we're fortunate that our needs are so well provided for that we can focus on entertainment and life enrichment.

It's a nice way of thinking of it and hopefully it's true one day, but unless "our" means the typical HN reader, I don't think we're there yet. Consider that in the US in 2015, 43.1 million people were living in poverty (13.5% poverty rate) [1], and income inequality continues to rise [2].

The article says it's already running on modern IBM mainframes.

> "While they’ve upgraded the hardware to more modern IBM mainframes, those mainframes are still running vintage assembly."

This is one reason IBM is still popular - their modern mainframes are backwards-compatible with 50-year old software.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System_z

> The System z family maintains full backward compatibility. In effect, current systems are the direct, lineal descendants of System/360, announced in 1964, and the System/370 from the 1970s. Many applications written for these systems can still run unmodified on the newest System z over five decades later

Are you criticizing the separation of m_sparseIds and m_items in this article? Could you give some more detail as to why you see this as a problem?

The only performance issue I see with having these separate is what the author describes as Consideration #2: you have to do completely separate read for the indirection which may incur an additional cache miss. But this is the cost of keeping the dense set dense and the handles constant.

Is there another issue I'm overlooking? Maybe I misunderstand you, as this structure does use int indexes (both for the free lists and to locate objects in the other array), and I don't know what you mean by "I know people like to make the tree just be another node"

Just like Google Glass users being called Glassholes, SnapChat glasses will probably be called something like SnapChads, because only white rich guys in pastel shorts and rugby shirts named Chad will use them. The aesthetic just isn't there for wide adoption.

A ssh private key does not need to protect future secrets, it just signs an ephemeral challenge. So it doesn't really make sense to worry about future quantum crypto etc. I'd posit that even 1024 is probably still safe enough there (unless you have quite scary enemies targeting you in particular)

That is a concern for the DH key establishment though, that might be decrypted in future.

having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one's country.

It seems to me like paying more than ones legal minimum in taxes is indeed vigorously supporting the country.

Consider that war bonds were often marketed with a patriotic message, and paying taxes above what is required is like accepting a war bond that immediately defaults, which seems a lot better for the country than one that it has to pay back.
I have multiple RSA keys of various lengths for servers that don't support my Ed25519 key (some cloud services sadly limit key length AND require RSA, despite their underlying ssh server actually supporting better). I routinely use 16384 bit RSA keys daily and have never had a noticeable performance impact. Sure, there's clearly the diminishing returns argument, but as there would be no impact for most folks why not?
Yes, the anonymous accounts are a problem - but mostly because of the trolling, not the lack of identity. Snapchat and Instagram both have anonymous accounts and don't have a problem.

Yet Twitter has people like Kim Kardashian selling tweets for $200K/tweet[1] (so there's your measurement of ad-value), and yet Twitter can't make money.

Meanwhile, people are moving to Snapchat stories which is exactly the product Twitter should have built. Twitter, on the other-hand make the ground breaking decision to not include URLs in the 140 char tweet count.

Twitter can't ship new product.

IIRC Palantir had difficulty getting clients early on. The tech evolved from Paypal's efforts to combat fraud via data analysis, esp. against the Russian mafia trafficking on their platform. The CIA was one of its first clients, which eventually led to other government agencies trusting them.

There is cheap bashing in this thread, but "google glass 2.0" is not it. That just sounds like unobservent judgment.
I like that you feel that way about the community, and it's fine if we don't always see eye-to-eye. HN wouldn't be as good a community if we all did. The main thing we're trying for is assuming good faith in such cases (which isn't easy. I don't find it easy when criticized, and don't expect anyone else to.)

From https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=kefka, it looks like your account lost story submission privileges in Feb 2014 after having posted a bunch of stories that weren't appropriate for HN. That was at least 9 months before you posted anything about Thalmic/Myo, so I'm sure that the latter had nothing to do with it. (I'm also sure because we'd never take submission privileges away for that reason.)

In Dec 2015 we restored story submission privileges to your account, probably because we saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10537529, which was a solid submission. If an account is posting the occasional substantive story—especially ones that other users aren't submitting—we err on the side of restoring privileges.
The reason why people worry about these laws is because of the trajectory.

Historically, freedom of speech was pretty much not a thing, and laws made all kinds of offensive speech (usually offensive to those in power) illegal.

For a while, we had a strong trend of getting rid of such laws and getting more free speech. Freedom of speech, including all kinds of offensive speech, was a key tenet of humanism, and associated social and political advances.

But now the trend is in the other direction. As time goes by, our societies acquire more laws regulating speech, compared to where they were even a few decades ago.

At this point I have to say that if anyone in NSW, Australia is thinking of suicidal thoughts - do NOT call the police, or anyone in the Public Health Service. This absolutely includes the Ambulance Service.

Why? Because of the following:

20 Detention on information of ambulance officer [1]

(1) An ambulance officer who provides ambulance
services in relation to a person may take the person
to a declared mental health facility if the officer
believes on reasonable grounds that the person appears
to be mentally ill or mentally disturbed and that it
would be beneficial to the person’s welfare to be dealt
with in accordance with this Act.

(2) An ambulance officer may request police
assistance if of the opinion that there are serious
concerns relating to the safety of the person or other
persons if the person is taken to a mental health
facility without the assistance of a police officer

Then section 21 defines "police assistance":

Police assistance [2]

(1) A police officer to whose notice a police assistance
endorsement on a mental health certificate, or a request
for assistance by an ambulance officer under this Division,
is brought must, if practicable:

(a) apprehend and take or assist in taking the person the
subject of the certificate or request to a declared
mental health facility, or

(b) cause or make arrangements for some other police
officer to do so.

(2) A police officer may enter premises to apprehend
a person under this section, and may apprehend any such
person, without a warrant and may exercise any powers
conferred by section 81 on a person who is authorised
under that section to take a person to a mental health
facility or another health facility.

I'm sure people in the U.S. Can see how problematic this is. And - it's not just an abstract concept to me, it happened to me several months ago.

That's a pretty neat idea to use simulation as part of financial planning. I know I've seen general projections of retirement money, but using the simulation as an interactive tool to help tailor the plan makes it seem much more personalized and useful (though who knows if that is actually the case).

I'm not sure how successful this could be targeted at individuals without being integrated with some other financial product like a retirement account provider, though. It would certainly be nice to have something like Mint for retirement to consolidate and track overall allocations over many accounts from different providers.

Thing is, accusation of some -ism or -phobia can easily blow up. You may not have that intention in mind, but in the age of social media, such things can be very hard to contain, especially once the Internet mob forms. And consequences can be pretty severe (say, losing one's job). So, while any particular interaction might not involve this directly, it's always something that's part of the picture.
I think Spooky23 meant the entry of the Soviet Union into the pacific war on August 9 1945. Stalin had promised (At Potsdam or Tehran I don't remember) to enter the war but had hung back -- don't blame him; the war in Europe was massive enough, with the Soviets already doing the majority of the Allied fighting.

Just as the western Allies figured why not let the Soviets take the hit, Stalin had nothing to lose by letting UK+ANZUS wear themselves out in the Pacific.

But once it was clear how the wind was blowing, why not jump in?
There's a confusing bug related to this feature. Currently, Atom only automatically re-opens unsaved buffers in "project" windows (those associated with a particular directory). See https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/10474 for details. It's a real bummer and I hope it gets fixed soon.
Seriously, the default options to ssh-keygen should be all anybody needs. If you need to pass arguments to increase the security of the generated key, then the software has completely failed its purpose. Passing arguments should only be for falling back on less secure options, if there is some limiting factor for a particular deployment.

There is absolutely no reason to pass arguments to ssh-keygen. If it is actually deemed necessary to do so, then that package's installation is inexcusably broken.
> the gaming experience on OS X is still garbage after a decade.

My main use for PCs for almost 2 decades was gaming, and after switching to Macs a few years ago, I can't say I miss much, honestly.

Unless you're complaining about the cost of a Mac, almost every new game has a Mac version on release or soon after launch, and even if it doesn't, CrossOver [1] or another VM will let you play it without having to boot into Windows.

Metal is also proving to be good for native games. [2]

I've found that the YouTube recommendations do a good job of picking a "next" video to watch, but an exceptionally poor job of constructing the front page.

If I watch "Some Video (part 1)", the recommendations reliably pick "Some Video (part 2)" next, with the other parts as the other related videos and similar content further down. If I watch a random video from a particular channel, the recommendations show more videos from that channel. If I watch a video of a particular game or a reaction to a given episode of a show, the recommendations show more videos of that game or more reactions to that same episode. If I listen to music by a particular artist, the recommendations show more music by that artist.

On the other hand, the front page consistently shows me 1) old videos I've already seen, 2) collections of highly viewed content that I have no interest in even if I've already hit the "not interested" X on it, and 3) popular videos by channels I already subscribe to (I don't want to know what's popular, I want to know what's new.).

> That is a concern for the DH key establishment though, that might be decrypted in future.

If you're paranoid, configure your SSH server to only accept Curve25519-based key exchanges, only use AES with authenticated modes or CTR+ETM or chacha/poly1305, and only take ed25519 or long RSA authentication keys.

Assuming your clients are up to date it should work without any major impact. I also strongly recommend rejecting NIST "random" curves in your hostkey verification, better RSA or ed25519 than the current default of the somewhat questionable ECDSA-based keys.
I think they are parallel and can be used together, like Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Hosting of Parse Server with background jobs and webhooks and livequeries
The whole "cultural appropriation" thing is, essentially, an assertion that there's some kind of implicit intellectual property like relationship that one has with one's culture and its collective experiences. So when you need to "use" a culture that's "not yours", you have to ask for permission, and conform to the rules that the other party frames their grant of such around.
Well... yeah... I was more thinking about really big switches like between PCRE and a DFA.

If anyone is interested in exploring this, I highly recommend skipping to the blackjack exercise. This isn't to say you should read the book fully but I feel blackjack is simple and enough to get you addicted. Starting with Monte Carlo sampling is quite approachable and, once you've done that, extending it is relatively easy.

I also highly recommend reading about Edward O. Thorp[1]. He was a friend of Claude Shannon, whom he frequented Las Vegas with, and used the IBM 704 (first mass produced computer with floating point ops) to explore blackjack game theory in ~1956.
To apply his research he borrowed $10,000 from someone with mob connections and won $11,000 in a single weekend.
He also developed the first wearable computer (for a specific definition of computer).

how about paying for content:
I am working on this: http://minutesworth.launchrock.com, currently have a chrome extension that keeps track of time you spent on a website. currently in the works is pub payouts.
I don't have a Chromecast set up, so I'm not 100% sure on this, but my understanding is that Chromium users could cast using the Google Cast extension, and that Google did something (intentionally or unintentionally) to break the Cast extension and didn't fix it because casting is built into directly into Chrome now.
No, this is analogous to cameras on every street. Perfectly legal even if they are recording children ...
Well, the bug report made clear that it worked before with the official extension and doesn't work now. It depends on how pedantic you want to be with "supported".

ZFS has built-in support for redundant disks (in fact, using a lower-level hardware or software RAID under ZFS is not recommended). This allows it to do fancy things like allocate files intelligently across stripes, rebuild a disk with only the data used by the file system (huge time saver), and be able to repair files on-the-fly that are damaged, or at worst, report what files cannot be repaired.
