Many stack systems boast about the large number of operations they can perform per second. However, a stack "operation" is not equivalent to a register machine operation.

Something like "reg1 = reg2 + 125" is a single instruction in almost every register ABI, while at they very, very least, a stack machine would need two instructions: "push 125, add". If reg1 isn't immediately accessible as the stack head, and reg2 isn't consumed as the head, then you also need load/store/swap/roll/etc stuff wrapping the addition.

That's up to 6 (or even more) stack instructions to perform what a register machine can do in 1.

Also, when talking about interpreters, there is a not-insignificant overhead of fetching and dispatching the next instruction. That overhead is continually compounded when you need multiple instructions to perform what you could do in a single operation otherwise. The simpler the instructions are, the higher percentage of time is "wasted" performing instruction dispatch instead of carrying out core instruction processing. This can be parallelized in hardware instruction dispatch, but is pretty firmly stuck being serial in software interpreters.

Stack machines have very concise source code representations, and their individual instructions are simple and fast. But they can be very bloated in terms of the number of native instructions executed to carry out an overall program's work.
Use CloudFormation to do anything.
There are a ton of things they could do with their app and it's messaging (eg,Encourage people to drag their pin drop to a corner).

The Code attribute in the JVM spec consists of the number of local variable slots and the maximum stack depth, a byte array, and a collection of attributes to represent things like the stack map or exception handling tables.

Most of the opcodes have zero or one operands, usually a single byte (or two bytes with a prefix) that's an index into the local variable array or the constant pool. There's several ways to load constants: the integer constants -1 through 5, long constants 0 and 1, float and double 0, 1, and 2 all have 0-operand opcodes (e.g., iconst_0); there's an opcode to load a 1-byte immediate, another to load a two-byte immediate, and an opcode to load a constant in the constant pool (which can be a string, a Class<?> reference, an integer, long, double, or float).

It should be noted that the JVM specifies a fixed big-endian format in its bytecode, and as a result, even the two-byte immediates are specified in the manual as two operands of a single byte each.
So far as i know, the same is true of sucrose. Only simple sugars pass into the bloodstream.
Because they don't care enough not to. There are even developer tools to help applications not do work on the UI thread: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/StrictMod...
Interesting. We usually say that a good consultant should be senior enough to stand up to the customer and at least be able to inquire the basis for something. And also disagree when the customer is clearly wrong. But your way of doing it clearly removes the initial head-on.

One could always reason about things. But to promise to investigate (and then deliver) looks (and is) professional.

But I will never say yes when a customer suggests to "encrypt dsta using the cipher md5". Yes it has happened. More than once.
We call them back.

I run The Human Utility (formerly the Detroit Water Project) and we help folks with their water bills. When they reach us, they're used to dealing with other social service agencies that aren't very responsive and don't do something as basic as ever calling them back. We do and we find that people are grateful even for that.

Edit: People are happy to hear from us regardless of whether we actually help with their bills. If we say we can't, at least they know to try elsewhere and can do so fairly quickly.
Umanlife | Backend Developer | Paris | REMOTE, VISA http://fr.umanlife.com/

We are actually refactoring our code base using a micro-service centered architecture.

As a backend developpeur, you'll be working on our services, in the core part or the data part.

Stack :

* NodeJS
* MongoDB
* RabbitMQ

We are looking for talented people (yeah we tried bad ones, it does not work, obviously), with a "hacker" mindset. Our goal is that everyone in the team enjoys his day to day work.

Please send your resume and cover letter to mr+bedhn@umanlife.com, and read more at http://fr.umanlife.com/

.... Nah just kidding, you don't really need a cover letter (we won't read it actually :P), just drop a few words about you in the email.
well, if you're not an especially bright kid in high school history class learning about the holocaust and you happen to type "did the holocaust" then the autocomplete can be a nice little introduction to the world of fascism.

Maybe you are actually looking for did the holocaust happen or some such because the skinhead in your class said the holocaust didn't really happen. And then Google shows you the first search result that asserts the holocaust didn't happen, not the first search result that tells you about holocaust denialism.

So sure some people are looking for stormfront but maybe some people are also just looking, and unlucky enough to use google for their search.
A senior software developer is one thing.

A person that voluntarily and passionately stands in front of a project to ensure its success and has the capability to do so.
Not really.

A book is by definition 90+ pages long (probably a lot more). I will only want that much information if I'm completely new to the area.

I have never used Node.js nor React, but I did a fair amount of web design. A book will feel slow and repetitive.

Case in point: the last book I read was about Opencl. About a whole Chapter was dedicated to configuration parameters and C data types. I know that stuff has to be there in case the book is your only reference, but otherwise I can just check the Internet for that.

I know lots of people like technical books for pretty much the same reasons I don't, so keep that in mind too.
I would hope dropping a phone is also a rare occurrence for typical phone users. Otherwise they're probably better off getting a Nokia 3210 instead of a smartphone with glass screen.
The question was, do Stormfront have an advantage here, and the answer I gave was, no, because left-wingers have previously successfully manipulated Google's algorithm to a much greater extent.
How we caught the circle line rogue train with data
I had the same question as you and skimmed Eichenwald's article. He claims that his own words were attributed to someone else (Blumenthal) in these manipulated leaks, and subsequently parroted by trump. He had written a long article about Benghazi, and the email leak takes Blumenthal's quotation of that out of context, misattributing it.

It checks out, and at least on that point Eichenwald seems to be closer to the truth than Greenwald is (Greenwald hardly has anything to say in his own article about the details of the Eichenwald situation, only name-drops and sneers). It looks like this is Greenwald raising his hackles because he perceives his work with wikileaks to be under attack from Eichenwaldl.
Good counterpoint. Obvious errors you should not spend much time on. But providing some references to why is probably better than simply stating "no".

And I don't think the parent comment suggested to fake work and bill for work not done.

We should always be honest.

Left? The Economist has a blatant liberal slant.
Sorry, I misunderstood. To me, your response came across as a "well, duh!".
My initial gut feeling is that you are moving out of the cloud for the wrong reasons. Any performance gain you get with bare metal will be erased with the complexity of running a hybrid environment, namely moving data back and forth between your datacenter and the cloud, and also the mental overhead of programming to that model.

You also now need to gain internal expertise in networking, security, datacenter operations, and people who can rack and stack well.
A trial is a very specific situation whereby we deem that controlling how the facts are presented is deemed vital to an essential function of our justice system. The jurists are a tiny handful of individuals explicitly picked from those who hold no interest in the case and they are denied free access to public info only so long as the trial lasts.

It troubles me that you make little distinction between keeping a handful of disinterested parties in the dark for a few months so they can render an impartial verdict based on specific facts and giving the government the power to decide for all of us what truths are fit to be heard.

There are many orders of magnitude more difficulty and potential for abuse.

Your fantasies about fresh starts and protecting innocents from persecution are poorly founded daydreams. You are unwittingly pushing for us to lay the groundwork for tyranny and injustice in pursuit of a fools errand. While this is ripe for abuse it is bizarrely naive to believe that important people will willingly give up the ability to spy on us, collect information on us, and use that intelligence to make decisions about our lives.

Further where does it end? Must the internet consist only of truths that everyone can agree or in other words why is western Europe special and say Saudi Arabia not. Is it because you suppose you are reasonable and they are not?
Phone memory is severely limited and they have to unload images as you scroll to get the scrolling smooth. Scrolling forward and backward is a common user habit, and netwok latency is high, so you gonna need a local cache.

In that case he's got it the wrong way round.

Look at how many of the answers in this thread are simply about communicating effectively.

That mirrors my experience when I was on the service provider side, and as someone who is now consuming those same services, I can confirm that I am most impressed by my providers when the communications are focused, helpful and timely.

I drop my phone all the time and I don't have a case. It's fine.
I didn't promote too much, I just put link in signature on two forums I occasionally visit and forget about it for a few months.
Later, people somehow find it. Over the time there were few twitter posts about it, few share on 4chan and similar pages. Then your rank on Google gets better, and so on.
Does HN have a hard-on for Greenwald? I really cannot understand the down votes here. I took 7 minutes to skim the article in question, and Eichenwald's point is very simple: his own word were misattributed to someone else, and Trump regurgitated this misinformation, knowingly or not. So many people are arguing from ignorance here...

Anecdotally the surprising answer might be rather old BeOS based systems. At least that's what I saw once and apparently some people still use some old tools that are BeOS only for audio (from talking to the DJ) :D
It is important to realize our current situation before we can upgrade yourself, so it is good you know that and are willing to do that.

Personally I believe that everyone has some natural strengths in one domain or another, that gives them an edge to do things a lot faster and can learn and understand things lot faster. For example I can understand technical stuff lot better and can learn new programming stuff lot faster, than I could ever learn playing a guitar or designing :) I believe that the people you mentioned above are excellent programmers/architects and beyond that they have seen and dealt with more situations than any one doing regular programming. They might have built complex stuffs, they have read a lot - books and open source code, cleared the concepts, they have grown their knowledge and they have implemented it where they could. Basically your programming skills improve by doing complex stuff. Applying what you have learn't whenever you get a chance (no matter how simple or complex the product could be). Implementing elegant solutions to problems that can have N possible solutions and no compromises.

I don't say that being a programmer I cannot become a good musician but I think that the music I produce won't match the quality of the code or program that I would write, and even if I could do it - it requires a great deal of effort time and dedication which I wouldn't have required at that scale for coding. I am a programmer first and then may be a musician second. Someone would realize their own strength and work to polish it further, or may be someone would choose to become someone that interests them but it is not their core strength.
It's a personal choice.

My comment might be felt negative but I wrote this because I see a burning desire in you to do something and you have been trying it past 3 years, It might be worth to stop and point you to other perspective instead of giving you any standard advice. However if you are determined to take your level up than no one can stop you - all you would require is to rewire your brain - a great deal of effort and strong dedication. Personally I found books and reading open source code to be a good source of improving your programming knowledge and like any art I think the more you do it the better you become. You may also find some job/freelance in some decent company where there could be challenging work/projects - that can help you grow your knowledge rapidly.
I discuss wit a client about some data they collect using an Excel form. Prototype quickly under one hour a small CRUD app based on Django and set Django Import-Export [0]

They aren't doing that to stop 'climate change'; the are doing it to stop actual pollution -- as in particulate pollution that has made places like Beijing uninhabitable. The Chinese would gladly let the Earth get a half degree warmer because that would mean less need for coal for heating, thus reducing their particulate pollution even more. They aren't scared of the CO2 boogeyman, but of actual, cancer causing particulate pollution. They aren't in to the "global warming" thing because they aren't looking for a means to control the means of production or income distribution -- they already do. They have a desire for reducing pollution and achieving energy independence -- they don't buy into to the sky-is-falling hysteria promoted by Western anti-capitalists. Rather ironic one might think.
Am I the only one who feels compelled to watch just to see whether another 9/11 is ongoing? Like after a while of being disconnected.
Did you actually read the two articles in question, or did you just look to see whether the sources were "reputable"? In this case, there is a clear discrepancy of facts between the two, and it's not hard to come to an informed opinion. Just read.

Well, in my ideal world maintainers would have put all possible effort to porting libraries to python 3 and put python 2 versions into legacy mode (e.g.: security updates, fork it if you want to continue on the 2-branch).

In my field what seemed to keep people on python 2 for a long time was numpy or scipy (or both, I do not remember which) which did not get a 3 upgrade for a long time.

Either that, or just call it something different, kind of like perl6. There is no perl6 distribution shipping a perl library or some perl.dll that clashes with perl5.

Offtopic: I love my old Moto G, but I've been reluctant to buy any new phones from Motorola since its purchase by Lenovo, due to Lenovo's history of shipping computers with rootkits and malware. Should I suspect that Motorola phones are compromised, or am I just being unreasonably paranoid?
Isn't the market inefficiency to which you refer merely all market participants choosing to sell at inflated prices?

In what scenario would universally inflated prices not be rent seeking? Erecting artificial regulatory barriers via lobbying? Rent-seeking. Collusion between market participants to keep the price significantly above the cost of production? Rent-seeking.
>I wouldn't necessarily blame the "WLAN, sound, or sleep" thing on linux. I'd blame that on cheap parts manufacturers that refuse to distribute open source drivers for fear of releasing company secrets and lack of profit margins to operate on.

I don't understand why would anyone not open-source their drivers?

What's NVIDIA's secret sauce? Being able to build great silicon.

What's Intel's secret sauce? Being able to build great silicon.

What's Samsung's secret sauce? Being able to put together great silicon.

So let's say tomorrow Nvidia open-sources all their drivers?

So now you know that which registers do you use to shade what. So now what's AMD going to do? Copy the interface?

It's already copied. Most users use standard OpenGL/DirectX to communicate with their board.

I mean look at Intel. You practically know what's what there. You can make an OS on (at least older) Intel chips without drivers.

Did it help anyone compete?
So, to follow the diplomatic approach here:

Client: "Encrypt our data using the md5 cipher."

Consultant: "I will investigate the feasibility of this."

... two days pass ...

Consultant: "I have considered your proposal. I believe we should encrypt your data with SHA-256. md5 is insecure, here's several references. SHA-256 is much more secure and more popular. It is a NIST standard, and just as cheap."

Client: (probably) "OK, if it costs the same and is more secure, sounds good to us."
Whoever down voted you probably did so because of your attitude (just my guess, obviously I don't know for sure). I suggest reviewing the guidelines of HN!
A carbon tax is a market mechanism. People (the market) will decide what is the correct amount of emissions.
It's funny. I was thinking Friday how much I hate Java, and should have been a rock star :-)

But you gotta keep on keepin on (about 30 years as a developer if I include part time work back in school days), and pay the bills for the kids :-(

Good luck with those web page layouts and actions and such.
That might be better than what I do. I disagree, perhaps not often, but there are bits of functionality that I think just aren't justifiable/cost-effective. So I try and dissuade them. Although sometimes I might be a bit too vocal. That said, I do try and say that, at the end of the day they can definitely just say "shush... Just build it" and I will. But I'm honestly trying to help them build the best product we can, as effectively as possible.

Cardboard markets are never as good and inventive as the real thing. The companies involved will find a way to not change and compete with the alternatives.
For instance via hard lobbying or even illegal means.

Taxation is not a market-based mechanism. You'd also have to implement prohibitive duties to avoid importing the problem.
When I did freelancing, I charged a bit more than I felt I should... but went above and beyond. My hourly rate may have been high, but I spent many "non-billable hours" making sure everything worked great and any changes (their fault or mine) were accounted for.

I did a few jobs where someone else controlled the billing, and kept us on a tight schedule. Every hour was billed. We were "fired" (AKA contract not renewed) every time. Yet when I went above and beyond, I had no problem getting and maintaining awesome clients.

As someone on the opposite side now (hiring freelancers), I've realized the thing I value most: the freelancer gives me less work, not more. It may seem obvious, but when I was on the other side, it wasn't. When I hire freelancers now, I value one overarching quality: to make my life easier. I don't care about price or hours (within reason), I care about not having to think about it.
But you don't need to fsync that. It's presumably in a temporary file, or you're just reading it.

"Blame" might be the wrong word since nobody involved with Linux has committed any moral failing here. It can certainly be analyzed as a drawback of the open-source model.

Microsoft has a lot of resources to incentivize hardware manufacturers to go to great lengths to make sure their drivers work well with Windows. No organization connected with "Desktop Linux" has that.
I wouldn't really say Moto Z cheats so much as that Google designed the entire software ecosystem of Android without ever talking to a hardware engineer.

They simply do not care about optimizing the performance of the phone running their software. Otherwise they never would have chosen a garbage-collected language like Java for the platform in the first place (I understand they've ameliorated this concern recently). Or used ext4 like here.
To be fair, cheese usually contains sugar.

It will be interesting to read about the outcome of these last two housing booms on retirement and inequality. Have home owners who entered the market late inadvertently been forced to save? Will inequality spread so wide, that we permanently lock out a portion of the population from urban areas?
