I agree. Sounds like a fun new product to disrupt the resume industry: Tweesume.
While not as big as security and media devices that were already mentioned, seems like a lot of effort is going into DIY 3D printers and CNC machines. Having a lot of those kind of machines around could enable the rise of guilds that produce a lot of useful things.

Nim is statically typed, very similar to python syntax-wise, fast and with trivial c interop. This makes it a good target for scientific programming, although unfortunately there are not many libraries yet http://rnduja.github.io/2015/10/21/scientific-nim/

As for being functional, strictly speaking it is not, but still has some features like closures and higher order functions, immutable variables, the usual suspects (map, filter, ...) can be inlined with zero overhead, side effect tracking and so on (in addition to a very good macro system)
And frankly, if it's going to happen in a capitalist society, why aren't I getting my cut of the profits?
It has been obvious to some for years that small quad/hexa-copters with POV capability is the hellfire missile of an insurgency. We've talked about it here on HN lots of times.

However, as it is true with many ideas, there is the idea and there is the execution of that idea. Now that there are confirmed uses of this sort of system in the field I expect much more energy in finding ways to mitigate them. On the plus side it is easier to destroy/disable a drone than root out a sniper's nest, on the down side it is really hard to defend soft targets from pop-up deployments of them.
Big Pharma’s Manufactured Epidemic: The Misdiagnosis of ADHD
I'd say the Teensy is in the Arduino++ camp there. It uses the same libraries, etc, just has more power processing, a pretty nice price, and some interface bits and pieces that are very nice, like being able to act as a usb device and host. A lot of hardware, I'd argue is better to be treated as a library -- there are libraries and hardware that have definite feature sets, some of which overlap, that allows you to choose the best tool for the job.
I was a part of the Kickstarter, got mine roughly when promised.

If you've ever been involved in electronics manufacturing in moderate volumes, it usually ends up being more episodic than planned.
I have seen many papers on arxiv that are typeset without latex turned out to be a shoddy research work. I don't know there might be a correlation.

I'm just guessing here, but I don't think that Apple is all that interested in making it easier to develop cross-platform applications. From their point of view, the best applications are OS-specific ones. So if you want a Mac application, you're best coding on a Mac, with Mac tools, and within that hardware eco-system. From this point of view, the same argument applies with Windows, Linux, etc... (albeit with the caveat that hardware is more varied).

Apple isn't trying to make that way of working easier... they are trying to make life easier for macOS-specific devs. Apple is looking for well integrated applications, and as I'm sure you know, that's really hard to do well cross-platform as you often end up coding to the lowest-common interface.

Again, that's from the Apple point of view...

Won't someone else do that?

The weapons industry is sick this way. The US doesn't want to sell? OK, maybe Russia does. Or some third party who knows how to get them, whether a front for a country or not.

Truly sick.

Are you saying that Bogdan did anything other than pay for the account? (Which seems a mite expensive, but I've given relatives more expensive things every year as far back as I can remember, so I'm not going to call that implausible.)
Good feedback. I have one comment and one question:

1. I personally prefer to present a terse message to stderr and stack traces to a debug file. This helps a user give support more information when they're hitting transient issues.

2. I fully agree with the recommendation for a --dry_run option, but I think the output needs to be actionable. Do people have good examples of actionable --dry_run output that lets the user verify their intent? E.g. The list of files that would be deleted by "rm -rf"
Four essential skills in learning a new language are reading, writing, speaking, and listening (not necessarily in that order).

Learn to read. Read good stuff written by native speakers of the language. Learn correct pronunciation. When you come across new words, look them up.

Learn grammar. Practice writing. Start with small sentences. Write about anything you like or experience. Show it to an authority and make sure it is grammatically correct. Learn from your own mistakes.

Start speaking the language. Be around those who communicate in the same language.

Practice listening. Listen to native speakers, radio programs, podcasts etc. Be attentive.

Keep visiting HN. Read comments. Observe how HNers express their views. Learn from contextual usage of the language.

That is just a beginning. Carry out those activities regularly.
For the life of me I can't understand why anyone would down-vote my comment. Please educate me, what's wrong with my statement? I don't get it.
Ultimate List of 90+ Tools for Managing a Remote Team
A must read Guide on Cybersecurity for everyone
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12686634
Agreed. Bare metal programming is vastly preferable for many, if not most, realistic embedded applications. I hope they have a convenient gcc-arm-none-eabi setup available. It's not just about security; it's also a lot more work to do hard realtime systems with any sort of OS, even an RTOS.

We're even starting to see a bit of this on the high-level non-embedded side of things; projects like HaLVM and Mirage OS allow us to write bare-metal non-embedded code using extremely high-level languages. The idea is that you write a program that runs on bare metal (no OS or any OS-provided features) and you use standard library abstractions to get features that you would normally get from the OS. Then, if you want to run a bunch of these things, you run them in efficient hypervisor systems like Xen. This approach has many interesting benefits (and costs) compared to traditional OS-based high-level programming.

What kinds of books are you reading? I assure you, there's something out there for everyone.

A chip with a design more suitable for embedding in a device. After you make the initial outlay, SMD components become much more easy to deal with than pth, for example.
This is horrible logic and ignores important opt-in/opt-out dynamics which are critical to our conception of privacy. By enabling "self-destruct," (or "disappear") the sender merely forces the recipient to "opt-in" and take affirmative action in order to archive the message (i.e. Screenshot). This is how telephone conversations generally work -- no recording unless one party takes action to tape it. Despite this ability to tape, we certainly still consider telephone to be more "secure" due to this archival distinction. Very often it is the advice of lawyers to avoid putting something in writing, and communicate it in person or over the phone instead. Disappearing messages brings us closer to this desirable ephermerality.
IIRC, it's even worse than that, the EULA forbids running OSX as a guest OS under a host OS that is not OSX.
Great work! I started using AWS back when it was just simple websites, and the plethora of services now (50!), and pricing (especially pricing!), is overwhelming to track.

So overwhelming, in fact, that I decided it was easier to get some VPSs and use common, work anywhere, tools to manage (e.g. saltstack), than have to skill up on AWS specific stuff.
> "pitiless practice of a forced sacrificing of soldiers' lives"

Of course there were stupid commanders who wasted soldiers's lives, as there were very good commanders. You should look at the big picture:

1) Ratio of Wermacht - Red Army losses is somewhere around 1:1.3, only 30% more.
2) Germany had fully deployed and ready to attack army on the June, 22nd, while USSR was in the process of deployment: second and third line divisions were moving towards the border, stretched for 500-600 kilometers.
3) Wermacht was trained in doing blitzkriegs: Poland invasion, France invasion gave them a lot of experience, Red Army did not have a lot of experience in defending against such an attack (no one had).
4) Germany attacked without a warning, without a formal war declaration, and most of those 30% come from the first stage of the war.
5) Germany had its full industrial potential, together with Poland, Czechoslovakia and France working to provide tanks, guns, food and supplies, while USSR had 1/3 of its territory captured and 20+ million people under occupation for the first two years.
You can use any SoC as the starting point for an open source smartphone. I don't think this is appropriate, though, given the inability to break out high-bandwidth busses from the board, e.g. for a video display or LTE networking.
Neat! Did you write up your project?
Ask HN: What's new in CS?
So, I got a CS degree back in '03, and took some master's level classes in '06. What I've been wondering is, have the undergraduate and graduate curriculums changed in the last decade? Is there anything really new that's being taught at universities that hasn't percolated to the industry yet?

A request: let's not get into a discussion of Deep Learning, please. I studied Convolutional Neural Nets in my ML class in '06; they finally made it out of the lab and niche digit recognition applications, but they aren't new.
>The book's description on Amazon contains the entire process so you don't need to buy it unless you want to.

Would you say this level of openness has an impact (positive or negative) on sales of your book? It's pretty refreshing but the cynic in me wonders if it hurts sales.
To be fair, we need to be able to answer the hard questions before making things a reality. Going to mars and making it habitable is not exactly something we have a lot of experience in, so there are a lot of questions but very little reasonable solutions.

I personally think we should go as soon as possible and I would love to see a lot more competition in this area. Maybe if China starts making major progress towards mars then probably the head will start rolling in the USA and maybe even Europe.
Inside the DDoS attacks powered by large IoT botnets

Just in general: Murphy's law. At the worst possible time, the ISP will be down, the wifi adapter will drop its connection, you'll exceed your data plan, or you'll be at the customer's place who's weird about outside machines on their network.

"Stuff happens". More options are always better, even if you hope you never have to use them.
I think that's just the chip price, while $16 is for the whole board.
Nobody seemed to mention it, but the large payload query is designed to also DoS the hell out of old/insecure PHP binaries that will blindly accept (and keep appending) as many items as you want. (In this case the array $a).

Similar attacks probably work against other CGI parsing things that don't expect to have hundreds of thousands of qps each with long querystrings.

The same reason ALPRs (with long retention rate) are a bad idea.

"No reasonable expectation of privacy in public" is the US norm today. I'm suggesting that maybe it should be revisited in light of the pervasive surveillance that has come into being.
Taming 2 Cloud App Performance Enemies
My grandmother was a middle-school history teacher, so I had access to history books they used in schools (in Latvia). I was a kid during 1980s.

What I am talking about is the sort of history that was taught in schools (at school level!) during 1960s-70s-80s in Soviet Union. Very simple stuff.

I think that means you can buy the SOC instead of the whole board for $6.
My intention was to point out that, IME, the previous amount of pushing was enough to keep operating systems up to date.
Can you provide evidence of that? I find this interesting, because a lot of people are saying "it's public data." I would argue that if you get a C&D for scraping/etc, it's no longer public.
I wonder why it was taken down. It's a decent post.
I wonder if it's worth maintaining two accounts. A professional-oriented curated one could be valuable in some job hunts.
+1 to Option #1

I'd argue that good software has what I call "good factory defaults".

Pine was a good example of this. It allowed people to use email right out of the box with plenty of options for customization in it's config settings.
I think you only read the first part of that sentence.

e:

I mean that there's two types of funding models.

NASA (or some other government's space agency) can put out a call for bids to provide a mission to Mars with certain capabilities (transport this many tons of cargo, this many people, having this characteristics) - then ULA, BO, SpaceX etc then work up bids for their various Mars capabilities to service that bid. SpaceX can go "We can do this using our Interplanetary Transport System".

This would be an ordinary commercial arrangement like the Commerical Crew and Commercial Cargo that NASA already does.

In theory some large enough company could do a similar thing. Like SpaceX / ULA do for Satellite launches today.

At the end of the mission after delivering the cargo/crew/etc SpaceX keeps the hardware, and can sell tickets to whoever else wants to go.

The other approach is that NASA comes along and wants SpaceX to build a system that meets certain capabilities but in a more integrated/directed fashion like was done between NASA and Boeing/Rockwell/etc for the space shuttle, but NASA owns the gear (since it was funding the development)

Both options end up with SpaceX building the ITS, but the way it's funded will determine who owns it at the end of the mission.
Somehow my brain occulted the "kettle" from the title, and I understood it as someone trying to heat a cup of tea by applying Wi-Fi microwaves for 11 hours.
Ops, you are right. That example was because of the "sane indentation" plugin, that I installed in the hope to get better indentation. Below is an example where plain Atom, without plugins, doesn't get indentation right (notice how it pushes "onEmailChange" under "login"):

const login = (email, password, remember) => a.chain(
submitting(true),
a.ajax({
request: {
url: '/api/sessions',
method: 'POST',
data: { email, password },
},
callback: (status, data) => (
a.chain(submitting(false),
a.setToken(data.token, remember),
a.setUserId(data.userId),
a.setAuth)),
})
)

const onEmailChange = (push, value) => {
push(emailChange(value))
}
Facebook seems not to be paying app developer $160K in ad revenue
At least 33 people disagree with you (that's the current number of points for my tl;dr).
Considering the fact that they missed delivery date of the previous one by at least 150% (I am still waiting) announcing new one with "Available Dec 2016" sounds like tasteless joke.
Well that, and financial competitiveness. Samsung and LG have been eating Sony/Panasonic/Toshiba/etc's lunch the past decade.
I was confused as well. I think it's all about being Open Source. You don't have to sign an NDA to view the spec.
HPKP has the trust on first connect issue, because you can't preload every website.

It also has the potential to wreck your site.
I would guess partly - product placement is a type of integrated content, whereas the broader spectrum can cover those passive placements, more traditional ad slots, sponsored event coverage etc...

Another method is to ⌘-tab to the minimized app, and while still pressing ⌘, hold down the Option key and release ⌘.

Not very elegant and it won't work if the app has a mix of minimized and non-minimized windows, but I usually don't have a mix. If that's the case, you can still use notyourwork's method above.

I guess it has something to do with air conditioning. The building is the Research Institute for Experimental Medicine, where they test medicine with animals. The look kind of suits the purpose, don't you think?
I agree that understanding someone else's code is typically easier than writing that code from scratch. But that's just part of the equation. Another part is how much of that code you have to understand / write. Understanding 1 MLOC framework with all its quirks may be much harder than writing 1 thousand lines of code implementing a feature that you want.

So if you need only 5% of functionality of a huge general-purpose library, it may be still actually faster to write that 5% functionality by yourself, than to understand, tweak and later maintain the library.
Avoid being hacked–Be Smart – Do it yourself
As someone who has been there they will likely view what you're doing to be equal to what a freshmen summer temp might do. Thus asking for professional standard pay has a chance of going poorly. And to be fair as a freshmen you might have less then one year experience in programming.

If someone were to give me advice before I started at a young age I'd have wanted them to tell me to keep my expectations low and treat it as a learning experience and to derive as much enjoyment from it as possible.
Optimizing return values
This sounds like a good strategy for an unethical competitor. <100 devices and only a few uncorroborated reports but drastic images are enough to trigger this?

There are presumably plenty of ways to make a LiIon fail dramatically if you just know where to push or apply some directed heat. Ifixit has that covered I think.
Why using finalizers is a bad idea
There's a whole area of business called "crisis management." Some of the more famous case studies are the Tylenol poisoning case, the Ford Pinto controversy and lawsuit, the Valdez oil spill, Deepwater Horizon, the Firestone tire controversy, and it wasn't even that long ago that there was a small case of mass hysteria regarding Toyotas accelerating all on their own that managed to spread to other brands of cars before people realized that these were just careless drivers. As for abandoning a new product, I suppose there's not that many industries where you come out with regular updates like this every couple of years and it's a big deal. I know Microsoft has rebranded a couple of products before. They rolled out Windows 7 instead of trying to convince everyone that Vista was all fixed and not as bad as they say. I suspect this will be a similar case. Hold off until the controversy dies down, then basically just release the current iteration of their phone when people calm down and they can make sure the thing barely runs warm ever.
This part I think sums it up well....

"The significance of behavioral surplus was quickly camouflaged, both at Google and eventually throughout the Internet industry, with labels like “digital exhaust,” “digital breadcrumbs,” and so on. These euphemisms for behavioral surplus operate as ideological filters, in exactly the same way that the earliest maps of the North American continent labeled whole regions with terms like “heathens,” “infidels,” “idolaters,” “primitives,” “vassals,” or “rebels.” On the strength of those labels, native peoples, their places and claims, were erased from the invaders’ moral and legal equations, legitimating their acts of taking and breaking in the name of Church and Monarchy.

We are the native peoples now whose tacit claims to self-determination have vanished from the maps of our own behavior. They are erased in an astonishing and audacious act of dispossession by surveillance that claims its right to ignore every boundary in its thirst for knowledge of and influence over the most detailed nuances of our behavior. For those who wondered about the logical completion of the global processes of commodification, the answer is that they complete themselves in the dispossession of our intimate quotidian reality, now reborn as behavior to be monitored and modified, bought and sold."
I always see the appeasement get blamed, not the commies.
Tinnitus cure through herbal remedy cure
COMPLETE CURE TO TINNITUS: I had tinnitus in both ears for fifteen years with a high pitched two tone sound, the noises are constant and have learned to ignore the ringing. Later, another sound was added, a deep tone that has a sporadic rhythm, that mimics human speech. It varies from soft and muted, to painfully clear, and loud. Have try sound machines, ear plugs, my hearing aid, and medication all to no avail rather I have a difficult time sleeping. Lately I was directed to a Doctor called Oluku on internet who provided solution to the problem. Do not be discourage, there is hope for you, it is a permanent cure to Tinnitus.

Looks like Samsung has to foot the 5+billion dollar bill to come up with a solution.

Are these known to just affect the snapdragon US version from whatever samples Samsung has been able to obtain? I'm reading that some cases are refusing to allow Samsung to investigate the phone.

My opinion is that putting the radio in the SoC is a big mistake. Qualcomm kraits are one of the main points Samsung has no control over, and it is not hard to imagine a scenario that could cause issues if they can't test it.
