What, where most people have no air conditioning, no cars, no plumbing, no internet, no refrigeration? Where most jobs are back breaking subsistence farming, and almost all the rest are marginally better factory jobs?

If you think most humans would return to that, regardless of political affiliation, you're crazy.
That has been my experience too. That all the extra work and logic (cause the algorithm is complicated) you need for detecting cycles and trial deletion is so expensive that regular mark&sweep beats it.

But to ask a pointed question, doesn't that mean Nim gets the worst of both worlds? You have both the overhead of updating reference counts and the (relatively long) garbage collection pauses. I guess if the programmer codes in such a way that no cyclic garbage is created it is not a problem because the gc will never be triggered. But how common is that in practice? Does the language make it easy to avoid cycles?
The AI Revolution: Why Deep Learning Is Suddenly Changing Your Life
I saw pictures labeled extracted from live brain scans. How that was done I don't know, maybe alpha or beta waves. At least that's short term memory.
It's not an argument because that Koans article is horrible satire that people are trying to pass off as a legitimate argument. I detailed in my post one direct example as to why that post shouldn't be taken seriously.

Now, if you have some legitimate gripes about git's usability I'd love to respond to them and have a real discussion, but Gitless doesn't make those arguments, it's just a wrapper around git (which could all be done with aliases) that adds an additional layer of abstraction for no benefit (or at least none that they've felt confident mentioning)
As an Emacs user, I'm looking to see anything I'd find useful here... nope. The few useful ones have Emacs equivalents, and most of them wouldn't even qualify as extesions: they're just snippets I'd drop in my .emacs file.
I feel that too, a lot. But I try to remember that what my kids need is a relaxed, rejuvenated Dad. An hour of me time and an hour of quality time with them is worth more to both of us than two hours of distracted tense time with Dad.
Tomi Ahonen has a very detailed history of the tragedy: http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/

Tl;dr: A Microsoft "trojan horse" bet Nokia's future on Windows Phone. Then he cut the lifeboats off the davits by killing Nokia's internal smartphone OS and phone projects, and an Android-based phone, and wantonly destroyed Nokia's chances to back off a fatal decision. One of the worst, most malign CEOs in history.
You could try a stationary bike.
No to a time where people are murdered simply because of their race. Politicians running for office with 30-40% of the popular vote are calling for nuking countries with no concern for collateral damage... what would you call that?
That would be extermely complicated and would require additional support from every game. Streaming right now takes every frame, compresses it and forwards it, as simple as that and works for everything.
I think Microsoft's downfall will not be Windows getting worse, but Linux getting better.
Okay.

What about eventports?
Do you have any references to support your claim that before 1914 travel was more restricted for someone of similar means from Asia, Africa, or Latin America?
Why is this information now public? As far as I can see, there's no benefit to releasing this info, and there's certainly possible detriment.
Off topic, but I worry a lot of "unplugged cleanses" are also solitary affairs. Something that isn't rest, but is busy and social and sober and not electronic is probably also important.
Learn Clifford (geometric) algebra!
Nationality doesn't necessarly equate with race. For instance I'm sure that it doesn't matter if you're black or white German when receiving benefits of EU. It does matter what nationality you are.
It's not really about turning off your thoughts, so much as "stepping back" and observing your thoughts.

How interesting that that thought wandered by just after this other one. It's "smile", that one feels pretty good.

This next one is "boredom"... Fascinating! What is that about? Why do I feel it? What happens if I use "smile" on it?

What about this monologue? Can I step back and observe those thoughts?

The Zen master says he's thinking about nothing while meditating. That doesn't mean no thought, it means observing the thing that Null pointers point to.

> Think about this fact , many of high end phone from last year or year before that (which customer spent ~700$ -which is quite money-) has not fixed stagefright vulnerability and don't have any plan to update to new version

And that would be exactly which ones? Samsung did update their high end phones, so did Sony, HTC and LG.
Well as a practical example, I checked the latest firmware of Asus RT-AC88U (HW seems to have shipped in Q4/2015) and the strings in /usr/bin/smbd (binwalk can directly extract the Asus .trx files) point to some derived version of 3.0.37.
I remember reading a comment sometime ago on this site where people on HN seem to have a positive bias towards topics on machine learning and would always upvote it. ML seems to be such a tech buzzword these days. This blog post is at the top of this site, yet there is not a single comment of discussion. I am not trying to sound negative, but rather was wondering if other people shared the same opinion.

Regarding the post: This seems like a useful resource. When I read many of these papers, a code supplement makes understanding it so much better. I do a lot of research with RNNs with respect to language modeling and implementing various models when I started researching this field was very useful to get a better understanding. I got great feedback on my implementations where people said it helped them understand.
Just pick a real password hash and dial up the hardness as high as you reasonably can for your environment. Don't do anything more complicated than that.
As a developer, I found taking several months off work to build a tiny house very rewarding. I also now have a 100% formaldehyde (and other toxins) free home for my son.

I am (slowly) posting videos if anyone wants to see how to build a 400ft tiny house: http://tinyhousemansion.com

I insulated the home to death and learned a lot about how houses should be built to save money and reduce energy usage.

Entertaining people is limited to one family or so at a time, but since my family is the smallest of our circles we almost always go to other people's houses.
I'm using an app that blocks my screen at the interval I set. But it has the option to skip that break with a single click. When I'm focused on reading something important I dont even rember if it was me the person who skipped absolutely all breaks for 8 hours. But when I watch a video, that app must be disabled.

I think the best option is not software but hardware. For example when I need to wake up early in the morning, I put my alarm clock 3 meteres away from my bed, so the other ME doesnt turn it off.
Sure, but that's easily solvable by versioning assets in the filename itself. That's how the `filerev` task works for both Grunt and Gulp.

The article is a little light on evidence however, so I'm a little skeptical.
>being able to initialize and share data between functions within the R runtime

That's right.

>rather than having to transfer back and forth between Postgres and the runtime

But that's not. There's a difference between being able to use data outside of the database (from the R runtime) in my UDFs (executed in Postgres) on one hand and being able to attach 2TBs of data straight from an SQL table in the R runtime on the other. I don't even care that much about the algorithms. Moving the data is the bottleneck most of the time. And Microsoft is actually late to the party (but better than never). Oracle, Netezza, Vertica and Hana have been able to do it for quite a while now.

You are spot on about being able to use the algorithms outside of SQL Server. You can use them on Teradata or Hadoop or rent your own VMs on Azure to use them or you can buy standalone licenses too.
Your idea of 1914 involves a lot more nukes than mine does.
>the penalties for stealing content (5 years felony conviction plus $250,000 fine for each movie downloaded

So where exactly do you face such penalties for downloading content?
I'm not sure how splitting up the NSA fixes anything. Wouldn't the new offensive organization still be compelled to seek out zero-day exploits as well for their mission? What happens when they find one that the defensive organization hasn't found yet?
I'll be very glad if Nokia ends up making very good Android phones.

Lumias were quite good, too, from the hardware perspective.

What is the saddest part is the loss of their mobile OS effort; it had a number of good UI ideas.

BTW I wonder when some reasonably large player will try to offer an entirely (or at least significantly) different UX on top of Android's open-source core.
[Titans vs Texans Live Stream Free](https://www.squadup.com/events/free-titans-vs-texans-live-st...)
As much as the US Media wants to you think North Korea is cut off from the rest of the world, it's not. They have a space program and nuclear program, which is more than what a lot of other countries can say.

It's not a bunch of people living under thatch houses.

If the government wants to make strides in something, they will. They can send their students overseas and get their education there. They can collaborate with other countries.

It's not something every citizen can achieve, but you only need a subset to be effective in cyber warfare.
Git's UI will never beat Git's command line. Not even close. It may be easy, but the command line is far more powerful, and way faster. Basic git usage is around 10 simple commands or less, and it's not like it's not well documented.
Ask HN: European developer salaries
A lot of threads here are (for natural reasons) very US focused so I thought why not make a european salary thread? Ofc it's a very diverse and big market but also making threads for all countries does not make sens I think.

Seems fair. Amazon no longer lets me Chromecast Prime videos.

Well, we already have that, it's in your cellphone.
Both sources have such low credibility that they should be ignored. That doesn't mean they're wrong, but I don't think they lend any weight to your argument.
At first I wondered if it was a spoof. However, it could be incorrect grammar:

> If you suspect against keyloggers or malware, Forgiva presents a visual confirmation ystem which leaves less hope for the attackers.

But maybe it's actually phishing?!?:

> And if you get registered, Forgiva uses your registration signature to generate special passwords for you. That means for a successful attack it will require keyboard and monitor access, plus a file system gain too.
git UI == git command line in this context. I don't think anyone in this subthread is talking about GUIs.
Nokia was dead no matter what. The only way to make a significant profit selling Android phones is massive vertical integration like Samsung. Otherwise, you're talking about a low-margin high-volume business that Nokia could never have sustained in comparison to Chinese and Taiwanese competitors like HTC and Lenovo.

Like what's the point of this new Nokia phone? It'll be commodity Qualcomm hardware running a commodity Android OS. There is no reason to pay any premium for it, especially when you can get a cheap Nexus phone.
I guess yes. Any that meet the criteria.
I didn't see any examples of .phony type rules. Can tup do this?

I've recently found myself returning to make for multi-build system orchestration, e.g. Rust and C and PHP libraries.

Does anyone have examples of using tup for this type of thing?

Also, I've found myself really enjoying declarative build systems more, e.g. Cargo or Maven. It seems like for C there could be a simple set of standard tup files that are run by a tool like Cargo over a standard tree layout. I didn't notice this in there, but could see a simple wrapper to tup to give this experience to almost any language. In fact, maybe using Cargo as a base and adding tup as a supported src type or something through a Cargo extension. It would probably need to be a default for the entire project for sanities sake.

Ask HN: Do online courses help in switching jobs
I am having 10 years of experience mostly in desktop application , good in c++/java/ OS/DS/Algo, have CS degree. I want to move in distributed computing, and was planning to take certified courses of coursera. I was wondering if once successfully completed, would it be possible to get a job at same level ( I am staff now ) in new field?
lol, after checking comments and stories of this guy, what a deep love to China
2^70 / 6,000,000 years / 365.25 days / 24 hours / 60 minutes / 60 seconds = 6.2 million reference guesses per second.

Modern multi-GPU instances are 560,000x faster, 350 billion guesses per second. So that gets you to 6 million years / 560,000 = ~100 years. So "decade" isn't accurate in this case, but only because of the awful comparison to begin with. Comparing a 2013 CPU to even a 2013 GPU will give you a 100 or 1000x bump easily, and since this is a case of "embarrassingly parallel" operation your scale is much smaller than expected.

Also note: 350 billion is for NTLM in 2012. I can't find equivalent stats for modern GPUs from a few minutes of searching on my phone, but I know they're a factor of 2-10x better, so 2^70 is easily within reach.
That is just what I mean, the opposite of an analysis and actual information. In this thread we can see the consequence of the population being bombarded with platitudes instead of information, everybody feels they should have an opinion, after all, we've heard so much about the conflict now!

On the other hand nobody has anything worthwhile to say really, including myself, since we know next to nothing. I just wish that at the very least people become more conscious of when they know nothing and merely regurgitate the sound bites they've heard often enough to have memorized and internalized them.

Another issue with the shallow feel-bad event-based stories is that they are much more easily manipulated than actual deep analysis of the background behind conflicts.
The situation is a bit more complex than that. We don't know the yield of NK's weapons based on the tests, because it's likely the tests have been sized to minimize material usage and just confirm the physics. Given that they're expanding their uranium mining it seems likely they have centrifuges operating and they're building hybrid bombs. This is the same path China went down when they were material limited.

So anyhow, it's not like a footrace where the major nuclear powers are at the finish line and NK is trying to catch up. They're following their own path appropriate for the situation they're in.
> In my opinion the average city biker is much more like a pedestrian than like a car driver.

In my opinion the key attribute isn't the size, weight, or speed, but rather simply the path being used. To me, the key distinction of pedestrians is that they have their own "road," with very different rules and specific rules to handle encounters with the other type of road. Bicycles, on the other hand, use the same road as automobiles (and usually the same lanes), with only slightly different rules than automobiles.
So you think it was overall a bad thing that he fought against dictatorship in Portugal, Spain, and many South American dictatorship? You think the world would be a better place with more dictatorships, Pinochet-style leadership?

I understand you can dislike the FARC. I hope you have the same level of disdain for the Colombian paramilitaries and Government exactions.

"According to several international human rights and governmental organizations, right-wing paramilitary groups have been responsible for at least 70 to 80% of political murders in Colombia per year, with the remainder committed by leftist guerrillas and government forces."

Seems stupid to me. Amazon wants to cripple their product so Google needs to show that they can out-cripple Amazon?
I owned a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for a while. Absolutely loved the form factor: overall size just _slightly_ larger than an iPhone 5, but much bigger screen. Only problem is they're two years old at this point, and won't move to Nougat. But you can buy a used one very cheaply, just to try out.
I like how the author has to ruin an otherwise informative article by injecting their paranoiac 1984 scenario in the last paragraph. The kooks just can't help themselves!
Dangerous for their family. I'm sure the young people have their entire family on the verge of hard labor camp, or death, if they do something against the government.

If the smart ones who work for the government wants can feed their entire family, why would they do something different? To strive for a democracy like ours where a racist, bigot and xenophobe like Trump is a vote away from being president?

All NK needs to do is air some of Trump's speeches to prove dear leader was right all along.
I think you missed that weberc2 replied to a comment listing 10 git commands "that are all you need to get started", not to the top level article.

Hello brothers and sister how are you all doing today? I hope fine I am here to write about a POWERFUL WITCH DOCTOR IN WEST AFRICA WHO BROUGHT MY HUSBAND BACK TO ME WITH HIS WITCH POWERS HIS NAME IS TUNDE. It all started when my husband was keeping late nights later he didn't even come home at nights because he was seeing another woman who had manipulated him before I knew I did not see him any more for good 7 months until I met a friend who introduced me to Tunde the witch doctor he told me every thing will be fine and that my husband will come running back to me begging on his knees I never knew such a thing was possible but I believed him and did all he asked me to do It was a surprise when I saw my husband after three days of contacting Tunde the witch doctor in front of my doctor begging me he went on his knees begging me that he did not know what went wrong that I should forgive him it was like a dream to me it worked so fast I never knew this was possible until it worked for me.

I saw a separate article that had this limited to Cast devices (also like beaner points out, it was light on details). Is that true? If so, does the fact that amazon refuses to sell Chromecast have anything to do with this? (And other Cast-related restrictions from Amazon)

As other commenters have noted, they're not completely primitive. And while yes, their technical know-how is far behind South Korea's, with the state of modern cybersecurity its equivalently harder to keep people out than it is to get in.

For what it's worth, that problem works both ways; I'd imagine South Korea (and the CIA and whoever else is interested) has all sorts of access to North Korean systems.
Hmm. That's a good point; I've probably misunderstood that. Thanks! I'll do some more research.
My apologies - I saw UI and immediately thought of Git's GUI clients.

I don't think git's command line needs to be changed, though.
Better than the current setup. The defensive side sole responsibility is to find critical flaws and report them. This would also include investigating breaches in US infra and making sure things get patched. Right now, you don't even have the defensive side.
I think that you're literally insane. There's no point trying to reason with an irrational man, and so … I'm done.
This was what I was going to say! I read at all times, so I don't associate it with sleeping.

My Synology NAS does exactly this. Besides this it backs up my Google Drive and Dropbox too.
Apple has that ability (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/3358134/Apples-Jobs-co...), but naturally, it wants to use "the atomic option" only in extreme situations. I don't think they have ever used it. Certainly, http://www.businessinsider.com/brazil-orders-apple-to-use-ip... claims it was never used up to august 2014.

I also would expect Apple would repay buyers if they ever did pull the switch, but don't take that as a guarantee.
Well. Emacs is trying to be everything and is extremely powerful.

> How can you even think to compare it to an iphone 3G?

Indeed it's a silly comparison, the iPhone 3G had a far inferior screen and camera. And it couldn't even record video!

Seriously though the N97 was very popular in the UK amongst business and technical types. My nerdy ISP at the time gave detailed VPN and VOIP instructions for the N-series but had no support for the iPhones because they couldn't perform those functions over cell networks.

If Nokia had managed to keep the momentum up following the N97 they perhaps could have maintained the corporate-market dominance they had with the E- and N-series Communicators. But they stumbled and Blackberry struck, plus Apple started picking-off juicy C-level targets who then demanded that their tech staff support the iPhone. At that point the division between 'fun' consumer and 'serious' corporate phones began to crumble.
