Oh come on. This is partisan hackery. This "theatre" did in fact cause vital government functions to shut down. I was personally on a project where I had to stop work because our checks were sitting on a table in Washington and a major milestone meeting was canceled because the government was furloughed and would not be there, throwing the entire project schedule off. This was replicated thousands of times across the economy.

Even the ghost of a chance of going down to the wire as to whether a bond payment would be missed by a single day on US obligations, is in itself tremendously disruptive. The economy is structured around U.S. debt as being the safest paper there is. Don't downplay just how dangerous dicking around with this for partisan points was.

This must be the 10th blog post to land on HN on the same topic, and they all walk through the same steps and all use the same hardware (ixgbe), which is by the way a hard prerequisite to make much of these strategies effective.

In any case, stop reinventing the wheel, just use a library purpose-made:

This looks like a high level design entry language. It gets its portability by outputting verilog/VHDL code that is then fed into your synthesis (compiler) tools from your FPGA vendor.

There are fair number of these sorts of languages out there. Currently I'm using Altera's OpenCL kit which certainly falls into this high level design category.

The thing is that even if you're coding in a language that looks like C, you need to understand how hardware is inferred from it. Which requres a basic understanding of hardware concepts like state machines built from combinational logic and flip flops, as well as pipelining.

Bottom line on high level design... Plus side; gloss over details, focus on the workload. Down side; weird idioms, extra overhead compared to low level (i.e. Verilog).
Science can be wrong, but announcing your disagreement before you've ever seen the evidence is the absolute opposite of critical thinking. It's not skepticism but dogmatism.

How to “Get Good at R”
I doubt that's most people unless most people are confused. The whole point of having getters and setters is to abstract away the implementation details of where the value comes from. Direct access to a data member is easily achieved via direct access to the data member, it doesn't require a method.

The real rule is that the type construction operators mirror the unary and postfix family of operators (declaration follows use). For instance unary * declares a pointer, mimicking the dereference operator, and postfix [] and () declare functions, mimicking array indexing and function call.

To follow the declaration you make use of the fact that postfix operators in have a higher precedence than unary, and that of course unary operators are right-associative, whereas postfix are left-associative (necessarily so, since both have to "bind" with their operand).

So given

int ***p[3][4][5];

we follow the higher precedence, in right to left associativity: [3], [4], [5]. Then we run out of that, and follow the lower-precedence * * * in right-to-left order.

If there are parentheses present, they split this process. We go through the postfixes, and then the unaries within the parens. Then we do the same outside those parens (perhaps inside the next level of parens):

int ****(***p[3][4][5])[6][7];
1 2 3 4
765
8 9
1111
3210

Start at p, follow postfixes, then unaries within parens. Then the postfixes outside the parens and remaining unaries.

The result is in fact a spiral just from going root postfix unary out postfix unary out. We just don't have to focus on the spiral aspect of it.

It has offered Edward Snowden a new place to call home.

I love Iceland. I truly do. My wife and I visited twice last year. I think it would be a wonderful place to live. Given a choice between Russia and Iceland I would pick Iceland without hesitation (although I have to admit that I have never been to Russia). However, I do not believe that they would be able to protect Snowden from the CIA. I hope Snowden sees this the same way and stays safe in Russia.

I know many people who use Upwork for long-term hourly billed projects that last months if not years.
For me the power of SIMT over SIMD is in its programming model. It becomes especially interesting for the more complex cases where you have data dependant branching. No, it's not going to use the full power of your GPU anymore, but at least you can branch without restructuring your whole code as you'd have to in SIMD (and potentially make it less efficient when adding more memory accesses to avoid branching). Likewise, modelling the performance of a GPU kernel is quite easily doable compared to CPU. I found that roofline with some modifications creates quite predictable results. This is mainly because the memory model and the computational cores are all quite simple in comparison.
You are being unfairly downmoderated. It is of course not a given that modeling economic systems is impossible, but there is considerable debate as to e.g. what degree prices are random/unpredictable. Everyone agrees the problem is extremely difficult, and it seems somewhat unlikely that there would ever be such thing as a universally applicable financial model. So the remaining question is, of course, to what degree are these models useful? I do not believe there is sufficient evidence to reject the idea that the models are of no utility, especially in the context of failing to price in risks. The contrary position is equally viable, and I would hope anyone with what they considered to be a knock-down argument would do more arguing than knocking down.

By "more things" the author doesn't mean "inefficient work that produces no value." She actually gives the example that her old code produced solid squares with a border & the new ones are generated with some visual effects.

Realistically, she could have produced some blur effect twenty years ago, but there were no good toolsets for doing it. Because of the "improved tools", developers can now create that effect with one or two lines of code.

Summary:
"improved tools": These tools enable easy access to advanced functionality.
"expected": Users expect beautiful tetris, not just solid color with a border
"achieve the same goals": Really, the goal is to create a playable terris. The definition of playable has apparently evolved in these twenty years.

As an aside, generally I agree with your comments about the bugs. Libraries are implemented in python (bugs here), python is implemented in C (bugs here), C has a compiler (bugs here), ...

There was his observation that if building ships full of war stuff and sending them across the Atlantic for the U-Boats to sink was enough to shake off the great depression the US certainly didn't need to wait ten years for the Germans to declare war.

If one looks at the composition of debt 1920-1950 what happened during WWII is the US government essentially took all of the commercial and consumer debt onto it's own books.
> I was really sad at how short season 3 was

Huh? It's already 6 episodes, compared to the first two seasons that were just 3 episodes each, not including the one-off "White Christmas" special. The runtime of the season 3 episodes are longer too.
Ukraine was together with Russia as parts of USSR, it's within its borders, and Crimea is a region where a large part of the population is of Russian ethnic origin (and which the rest of Ukrainians don't particularly like).

It also had its voted-for government toppled (with the support of foreign powers), and pro-fascists coming into power. It was then that Russia intervened.

That's "fueling of a civil war"? How does a country that left places it had absolutely no reason to be, as hell-holes of civil war and destruction say that with a straight face?
This is so transparently a hit piece that it's sad. A weak attempt to divert criticisms from leaked emails with "They're just trying to settle a personal score against Hillary!".

Back in the early days of Pascal programming for both DOS and Mac, it was common to put a 'the' prefix on just about every variable. I guess it was supposed to be more "English-like". You'd have variables like this:

theWindow
theUser
theFile
theLineCount

I hated it! I never did find out why people wanted to put in such a useless noise word in every single variable name, but I decided to never do it again.

Make every word count.

.com domains are usually cheaper and usually much easier to register than ccTLD's.

In my country, the ccTLD costs more than double the .com equivalent, and requires manual intervention to set up. I have to wait for a guy (and it's just one guy who's been handling it for over a decade) to show up for work on Monday, go through his emails, finish his coffee, and then manually set up my DNS.

Given the above, .com's are always the first choice.
Exactly. I realised how true this is very recently. A AirBnb host decided to kick me out early without refunding anything and i escalated it. The swiftness that their customer service showed me in getting a refund without regards to the "feelings" of the host shows how i am more important to AirBnb.

This is because the Host is the product, while i am their Customer. and Apparently, the Customer is always right.

Sure, by the friendly lackeys installed in power.

>but now just mean "countries that have it good" and "not so lucky ones"? Curious coincidence.

Not that curious. Besides the bad politics of the USSR, those countries were also fought against with all the might of the "first world", not to mention they had a huge colonial history of being held down to boot.
A major downside of Stan is its lack of support for discrete priors. This isn't really advertised very well, but is more of a problem than it might sound initially. Its type handling also can get a little frustrating at times. Overall, I highly recommend it but it does have its downsides, and there's some room for alternatives or improvement.
It's really weird because even people with dictators will say they are proud of their country even if they hate the dictator or the poor conditions of their country.

You don't get many Haitians saying "I'm ashamed of my country" or Russians saying "I'm ashamed to be Russian" It's predominantly a section of Americans who feel that way. I've met Mexicans who have become citizens of the US who still consider themselves "Mexican" in every way --except that they live outside Mexico, while they decry the corruption and lack of opportunity back home --but never ashamed.
So any bets on when a jailbreak based on this is developed?
Resisting the Urge to Profess
If the changeover relied on consumer purchases to replace the fleet, I would agree.

But I don't think it does. If (when?) you can hail a self-driving cab for a lower per-mile fee than the cost of gas+insurance+car payment, Uber (Tesla?) can (will?) put electrics on the street as fast as they can be financed (manufactured?).

People will let their vehicles rust if it's cheaper to take a cab. No major consumer purchases required, just cultural diffusion at the speed of super bowl ads.

It's definitely a good idea to keep expectations grounded, but at the same time there's no reason why the current mind-numbingly slow crawl that space travel has come to should be taken as some kind of rule or requirement or inevitability.

It's entirely different from starting a newspaper. We're talking about what Wikileaks does with its position as a trusted avenue for large data leaks.

When Wikileaks receives a data dump, it verifies and looks through the data, determines whether they can make a splash with it, spends weeks or months hyping the release while formatting and indexing the raw data, then releases it along with a flurry of tweets highlighting items that Assange views as most damaging to the target organization.

Where that goes wrong is not the logistics, it's the publicity model. With the DNC leaks, they released massive numbers of emails, forcing journalists to slog through at the same time as the DNC put out statements decrying theft and blaming Russia. Sure, @wikileaks might quickly tweet out some highlights, but they're all hot soundbites that mostly get retweeted by Trump fans, not compelling narratives. And that doesn't happen at all for non-English releases like AKP.

You say I'm proposing a newspaper-like model. A newspaper verifies and looks through the data, looks for a specific narrative to report on, collects background information and comments, and publishes one or more stories that they believe are good for the public. They don't typically work closely with other newspapers or release raw data to the public.

This isn't what Wikileaks is about. If someone with data wants to give it to a group that will use and spin it a certain way, as you say there are plenty of newspapers out there. Wikileaks presents itself as the choice for someone who hacked data from an organization outside their home country, or otherwise doesn't know who can report on it or who to trust.

So I'll try rephrasing what I want. A better Wikileaks focuses on its core competencies of securely receiving, verifying, and formatting large leaks. It works with newspapers instead of snarking at them on Twitter, and allows them to create some compelling, broadly relevant narratives before publishing all the data. It's effective. Collateral Murder got huge coverage because it was one video with one clear angle. Cablegate worked because the release was initially restricted to newspapers, allowing the stories to precede the blanket rebuttals and put large parts of the press on Wikileaks' side. Wikileaks should have moved to build on Cablegate instead of moving away from that release model. Instead, according to the article, Assange decided to control everything himself, mistaking misalignment of priorities with certain outlets for an all-encompassing conspiracy. Now much of the US media is parroting the PR line of a political party while the rest play catch-up and mostly deal in soundbites. Whatever the DNC hacker's motives, the impact is far less than I think it could have been.

Questionable Love Spells from History
Valid point. My initial thought was to summarise the email that the sender sends out, tailored to the receiver's context, rather than summarising at the receiver's end. I'm still open to that thought but by and large, based on what I'm hearing, people are slowly moving out of email. I don't have sufficient data to make this case.
You got some down votes for this comment and you deleted that other comment because it got down voted too.

The fact that the US has two political parties is merely an exercise in excess, demonstration of waste.

According to the article, the mistake was saying it was the batteries and then doing a recall to replace the batteries, even though they weren't actually sure that's what the issue was. When it turned out they were wrong, and the replacement phones were catching fire as well, it made Samsung look a lot worse and led to them killing the product entirely.
It can be difficult for people to pronounce and after them asking the third time as to if they are pronouncing it right. I decided it was just better to Anglicise it and make it easier for me and them. :)

One serious danger I haven't heard anyone mention mention in regards to the Mars colonization project (though it was considered to some extent in Carl Sagan's "Contact" and probably some other science fiction) is the possibility of terrorism against either the fragile spacecraft or colony.

Musk has said there will be no screening of the Mars colonists, and that anyone could go. That means someone who's mentally unstable and/or wants to make a name for himself (ala Herostratus[1] or any number of modern publicity-seeking terrorists and murderers) could go and attempt to harm the spacecraft or colony, both of which would be incredibly vulnerable to such intentional attempts at destruction and are guaranteed to get massive publicity were they to be destroyed or even merely attacked.

This could become even more likely if living on Mars long-term actually becomes viable, and people wind up spending decades on there. Some people will likely go stir-crazy and attempt to harm themselves and/or others.

People who are allowed to go live in Antarctica or out in to space are currently screened very carefully to be compatible with each other and able to psychologically withstand the rigors of life there, and the relative isolation. But there will be no such screening for the Mars colonists, according to Musk, and the isolation and danger on Mars will be even worse than it is in Antarctica.

The isolation and danger will be hugely stressful and difficult to deal with over the decades people will live on Mars. I've read that even in Antarctica, people are rotated out within a year or so because of the psychological difficulties of living there, and no one's been in space for much more than a year.
