How so?

I agree that there's been a lot of over-exaggeration on both sides of the issue. If you listen only to pundits and talking heads, you're almost certainly getting the wrong information. The actual scientists, however, look at things a little differently.

For example, you cannot build a dam to handle any arbitrarily large amount of water. So what do you do? You look at the historic record and build your dam to survive a "1 in 500 year" flood. These sort of "1 in X year" events are all over climate science: "1 in 100 year hurricane", "1 in 500 year drought", "1 in 1000 year cold/warm streak". What I've seen most scientists say regarding climate change is that it will, essentially, shift X down for all of these. Of course, most of us are not going to live 100/500/1000 years, but if you look at all of these statistics in aggregate, you might notice that the globe would normally have, say, 3 "1 in 100 year" floods in any given year. If this year there are 5, and next year there are 4, that might be climate change.

Or it might not, because the aggregate statistics have their own statistics. For example, you might determine that a year with 5 "1 in 100 year" floods is, itself, a "1 in 500 years" phenomenon. Does that mean this year is that 1? Maybe...maybe not. But at some point, when you notice that all of the aggregations of aggregations of "1 in X" years events is a "1 in 1,000,000 year" phenomenon under non-climate change conditions, but a "1 in 10 year" or "1 in 50 year" phenomenon if climate change is occurring, then you might start thinking about attributing these events to climate change.

So: was the Syrian War caused by climate change? Maybe...maybe not. 3 years in a row of drought is probably a "1 in 500 year" type event. If climate change turns that into a "1 in 50 year" event, you still can't say for sure that climate change caused the drought...but you can say it's much more likely to have.

We'll know soon enough. If extreme weather events start causing more destabilization in more different parts of the world, we may find the long trend of decreasing incidence of conflict reverse itself...

Or maybe not, because maybe the decreasing trend will overpower the climate change induced increase, causing the overall trend to remain downward...just not as fast downward as it could have been. And really, that is what the problem with climate change is: the cost of doing nothing is greater than the cost of doing something. (The Stern Report lays this out in 700 pages of painstaking detail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_Review .) Climate change probably won't wipe out the human race, but it will depress the progress and/or potential progress we might have made in its absence.

I find it the highest kind of irony that the main argument people make against doing anything about climate change (it will cost money) is actually the best argument for doing something to prevent it.

Fogaccio looks cool and high tech, but I personally like the retro arcadey, "8-bit" ideas, execution notwithstanding.

I like it when design has a real sense of personality, and having the logo be retrofuturistic would be cool :-)
The semiconductor manufacturing processes might be flatlining a bit, but that's not entirely synonymous with "computer technology". One recent example we've already witnessed was in the GPU sector. They (nVidia and AMD) were stuck on 28nm for at least 5 years, and instead of just being able to rely on the "standard improvements" (by way of Moore's law) to get better performance at lower power, they had to rely on architectural improvements. nVidia fared significantly better, managing to double performance-per-watt on the same manufacturing node with Maxwell (GTX 980). Is such a feat easily repeatable? Very unlikely. But it also goes to show that when these companies can rely on improvements in the manufacturing process for their speed/efficiency boosts, they don't necessarily put as much effort into architectural improvements as they otherwise might.

If you haven't heard of the Mill CPU, it's one example of completely rethinking things: http://millcomputing.com/docs/belt/ Of course, the problem there is the missing software/OS toolchain. But it also points towards there being some huge inefficiencies present in "classic" von Neumann architectures, and to me, the possibility that there's still room for things to improve.

This was a great talk. I shared it with our other ops engineers at SeatGeek and it mirrored our experience exactly. Hell, we even ended up with similar projects for writing out shared config files to consul to get around early consul perfect issues.
The request is well within the realm of what anyone who wants to produce a product that could well endanger the lives of a lot of people needs to be able to deal with. It was the very minor ante required in order to play at a very high-stakes table.
The board-level (chipset) thing hasn't been true since "true" LE support was introduced. So Power8 machines can switch arbitrarily between endianness by changing MSR.LE. In fact, you could even run exception vectors at a different endianness from other code (MSR.ILE != MSR.LE), and endianness doesn't need to match between a hypervisor and VM.
I disagree - to me the inflections in his on-screen speech sound predominantly American. (For the record, I'm British too)

According to Levine, everyone connected with the Tor project is no-good, either a scoundrel or a fool.

He also thinks that using Tor to protect your privacy is useless because the NSA has global reach. Apparently he is unfamiliar wit the concept of threat profile. If the CIA is after you, you are in trouble in many different ways. But for many thousands of other people, like whistle blowers, dissents in many countries, and any ordinary citizen who just doesn't want to be tracked by all the corporations online, Tor is great.

> Did you miss the part where this vuln is being actively exploited?

Not at all. That's actually the crux of my argument that this is promotional.

Google, Microsoft, and Facebook all collaboratively met at an event outside defcon this year called bountycraft. In it, they shared their practices handling vulnerability disclosure and other related events. All three have arguably the best secure development lifecycles in tech right now. All three are intimately aware of each other's practices.

Microsoft is assuredly fixing this into overtime. Microsoft assuredly knew this was in use in the wild. They're already working beyond full speed, and Microsoft has a history of sharing mitigations with third party security vendors. Given the relationship I described above, Google certainly knows all of this and knows that Microsoft won't be able to act any faster to handle this.

No one is served well by this disclosure except for two parties:

· Unprivy malware authors (the vast majority) who are now actively researching this disclosure.

· Google, by convincing users to use their browser for protection.

This was a marketing play.

Nit-pick, but everyone speaks with an accent :)

(I'm not sure if you meant it that way, but I have met people who genuinely think that they don't have an accent and are 'unaccented', and it's just other people who do...)

Kubernetes != virtualization

Some virtualization use cases can be solved with kubernetes, but many things an enterprise runs do not work at all in the kube paradigm. The majority of applications are pets (i.e. stateful) and many applications run on Windows or have some other kernel requirements that mismatch the baremetal kubelet.

If you think Kubernetes 'absolutely takes over the more complex cloud installations', you're living in an echo chamber of 12 factor apps that doesn't line up with the majority of what I've seen in big enterprise cloud workloads.

Case in point: Walmart has one of the largest openstack deployments in the world.
That's because you're defining 'rank' as 'setting schedules'.

You could just as easily view the situation as the manager providing an interface to the rest of the company, and helping with organisation - somewhat secretarial role.
Who's to Blame for the 16 GB RAM Limit on the New MacBook Pros: Apple or Intel?
How about 'teamwork'?
This is great advice. Sometimes services can be removed from the on-prem version (billing), but some (queues, auth) need to find an on-prem compatible replacement. Most of the time, there are reasonable alternatives. But there are a lot of "on-prem" environments that run in AWS, so don't be afraid to start with an AWS-only "on-prem" version.

I completely agree with your advice about using "if (enterprise)" statements instead of a separate branch or repo for the enterprise version. Once you make that enterprise branch, it's tempting to let it sit too long and merging the upstream changes is one of the least-fun, most-dreaded tasks. By using the "if (enterprise)" approach, your enterprise version stays up to date. but it doesn't mean you need to constantly deploy the latest version to all of your customers.
In the later stages it has to be understood that things aren't going to go back to 'normal'. Life will go on but it will be new reality, a new era and you will always miss that person but it won't be as painful all the time.

I am looking at all these calculations here on HN and can't stop thinking "in 30 years all of this is gone. just gone." there won't be individuals owning cars any more. Mostly. If not 30, 50. Doesn't matter.
Daniel Berlin, an attorney with regs experience, on another thread on HN, said: no, you can pretty much just respond to NHTSA with straightforward answers and whatever documentation you have, then arrange a conference with them to figure out what additional documentation you'd need to generate to move forward with your plans.

I don't believe it's the case that Hotz needed to incur six figure legal bills to respond to NHTSA's initial order. He probably could have responded to NHTSA personally, without counsel, and game-theoretically not damaged his potential outcomes at all. He had the option to find out, and threw it away.

WebAssembly doesn't permit unstructured branching. That is, the bytecode doesn't support "goto". All conditionals and loops use structured mechanisms. Reconstituting branches and loops is the hardest part of decompiling, which means WebAssembly decompilers will have the hardest part already solved for them. It doesn't matter what binary or text formats the WebAssembly team chooses, they'll all be equally easy to parse, and even generate, in this regard.

The downside is that translating goto constructs in languages like C can be tricky and sometimes computationally very expensive. Even supporting multi-level "break" can be tricky. And constructs like "computed goto", which are often used in C, Fortran, etc to improve the readability (easier to read state machines) or performance (faster state machines for bytecode interpreters) cannot be supported by WebAssembly directly, which means instead of always being faster they'll always be slower.

But the downside is mostly irrelevant for people concerned by decompiling WebAssembly to readable source code.
I did in the comment which triggered you to repeatedly call me dishonest! If you wont substantiate your accusation properly you are the one being dishonest. What deception are you charging me of? - by my pointing out the European migrant crisis is caused by wars which our policy makers are highly complicit in waging. The european migration crisis is entirely the cause of people fleeing violent conflict - not weather.

If we wont stop attacking people, we wont stop wrecking the environment.

Disagree. All of those contribute to GDP. Someone has to make gas for my car, electricity for my air con, build a jet, etc.
Yes it does. It sounds like his boss was actually his administrative assistant.
The key point here is that you need to have contact/communication with the “they” (either they already contacted you, or you need to put a lot of work into marketing to them). Otherwise “they” are going to ignore you.
The thing is, when the team ask "is this really the simplest way...?" what they're really saying is "we're not convinced, can we talk about this?" They're trying to open a dialogue. Replying with a stock, amorphous phrase like "kill several birds with one stone" is a conversation stopper.

It's not about whether the idea is really a good or bad idea. It's that the team feel that the proposed course of action doesn't make sense, or that a better one is apparent, but that the leader ignores their concerns. That's going to destroy morale. If, as the leader, you can't even convince your own team that your idea is good, it's probably not good.

Here is an interesting statement from the article that rings true for me:

If that is true then you are rare in the get out the vote world.
This is pretty cool. It's a smaller target than ReactOS to grok and understand. For example, I keep thinking about how I could run Microsoft's PowerPC C compiler (targetting NT on PreP), and nothing good comes

It might be most reasonable to port Sanos to PPC64LE, with a 32-bit userspace...

So now you have another bit in your deploy pipeline that needs to construct curl requests vs declaring your services against a registrar. Can you share these registrations across servers? I'd hate to have to poll for all my web servers to register a new API process, and I'm at the small scale (~200 servers).
I would rephrase it to be "only those at risk of dying in a foreign military conflict" should, in a just world, vote on matters of international "engagement" (the euphemism pols like to use). It's not an irrational position as long as we have the draft.

True all people in the country are stakeholders but not all are similarly exposed to the risks of war (the military is primarily poor and filled with minorities--but that's a separate issue).

Fortunately women will soon be required to register with the selective service so this critique will be outdated.
As far as I know consumer electricity usage has been on a downward trend for a long time.

Computers, TVs, washing machines etc are increasingly using less power. I think there are limits to how much we can waste. E.g. when food prices drops to half we don't buy twice as much food.
Or it's just P0 following their policy. Which is the only way P0 can maintain credibility and exert pressure on vendors to fix things. Especially after Google management just publicly overrode them regarding an Apple vulnerability a week or so ago.
What benefits do migrants bring to a country? Immigrants of some sort probably do most of the menial tasks that the vagaries of which uterus you emerged from let you avoid. They're also the doctors who treat you, your coworkers if you're in tech like most of us are, the people who cook both whatever trendy food you enjoy and whatever comfort food you enjoy. They're the people who actually believe in the fictions the West tells itself about what it is and what it wants to be. They're the people who work twice as hard as you do because they actually know the value of what you were born with and never appreciated like they did.

Yeah, iOS's JIT does the same thing, I believe (it JITs a page and then turns it execute-only). But it's not completely foolproof since a sufficiently lucky buffer overflow can, in theory, overwrite the JIT page while it is being JITed, and then wait for it to be executed.
Those things are all possible in the latest versions of every major browser. Web standards have come a long way!
Codenvy's C3 legacy system is shutting down and merging into codenvy.io, which is a next-generation platform based upon Eclipse Che. We have been running both systems in parallel for about a year now, and this weekend we will merge them together.

No matter how hard we tried, we were still getting about 1000 signups for the legacy system / week. The new system gets a lot more, but we just couldn't find a good way to merge the two systems earlier. It would have been nice if the usage of the legacy one had fallen off, but I actually think it kept increasing. So instead of having a really clean transition point, we ended up with three systems:
1. Eclipse Che open source going bonkers.
2. The classic codenvy.com which was growing in usage
3. The new codenvy.io, which was growing as fast as Che.

Now we'll just have Eclipse Che and codenvy.io.
http://parts-catalog.acdelco.com/

(ACDelco is a house brand of GM, similar to Chrysler's Mopar or Ford's Motorcraft.)

The auto companies are an interesting example, because all of the major manufacturers have subsidiary organizations which exist just for parts manufacture, and all of them handle parts manufacturing and distribution for far longer than the original manufacturing run. While GM might only make a particular model car for a few years, ACDelco might continue to make consumable parts for it for decades, based on demand.
I launched my HTC Vive game just under two weeks ago and /r/vive has been tremendous in supporting me with feedback and kind words.

I'm no expert but based on my experience going right to the people who will be using your product works wonders. It helps the ego when it's something they like. If you get ignored, try one more time then abandon the project.
Ask HN: Apart from programming, how have you used algebra in the real world?
My son's struggling a bit with algebra and asked the age-old question - "when will I use this?" He wasn't being sulky, just genuinely confused.

My instinct was to say programming but after that I was stuck. When he was learning percentages I used shopping offers and discounts as a concrete example of that being useful. What's a similar example for algebra?

While this is plausible for the past, I think this info is outdated now. https://analytics.usa.gov has lots of data on this (and you can break it out by agency using the dropdown at the top). It also estimates that only 5% of data comes from federal networks.

Applications have for the most part proven that they cannot be trusted to get text encoding and decoding right, especially not in any consistent way. Operating systems definitely should make it possible to deal with the raw byte streams, but the default and preferred method of text handling should be a standard higher-level interface.
> Deis and Convox are both trying but not really "hitting it".

I'm heavily biased towards Deis as I've been using it for a while (and even wrote an UI for it[0]), but what do you feel it is missing? Feature wise, it's almost at parity with Heroku and stability wise, it's not perfect but it doesn't require a PhD in DevOps to maintain either.

I think part of the problem is they capped the RAM at 16gb and many buyers of these devices expect to use them for 4-5 years. It's questionable whether 16gb will be suitable in 2021. Also - raising the price and taking away ports creates this vacuum just asking for opinions -- and since they're not shippping for a couple more weeks - there's no way to physically see how big an impact these changes will have - so it's fair to be skeptical of something that seems disruptive in a bad way.

"need". I don't think you understand what the term really means.
If by "hybrid" you mean these two:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js-code.js"></script>
<script type="application/wasm" src="ray-tracer.wasm"></script>

in the same HTML document then "yes" - it conceptually will work faster if instead of ray tracer in JS you will call native function doing that.

As far as I understand the main goal of WASM is to have bytecode that is 1:1 mapable to current CPU architectures. JS source is quite hard to JIT due to typeless nature of JS (as an example of one of problems).

This http://sciter.com/htmlcss-ui-in-medicine/ is an example of such a hybrid application that uses HTML/CSS/script with native code (C++) responsible for low level data processing and filtering. In some cases native code there is generating image fragments for rendering. That application uses http://sciter.com engine where it is possible to mix native code with HTML/CSS/script.
