Last year, he posted a youtube video of something he had found: https://www.youtube.com/user/ator1a1m/videos

He said, "Not sure if this ever got uploaded. All I can say is Damn I was good. Not missing it. Keep the dream alive."

Sometimes, you just get burned out. It's hard to stay the best in the world if your heart isn't in it anymore. I'm glad he found something that works for him.

While it wasn't explicit in the article, it seems the focus here was much more on poor and working class communities with high performers. Students from those places able to get into top tier institutions are unlikely to be paying much if anything for their tuition.
That's certainly not true. The fundamental "strategy" of the cold war, specifically the production of ~70,000 nuclear weapons, was about ensuring that no aggressor would survive. Submarine-launched missles are the primary tactic.
i believe so, but i wonder how many false-negatives would arise from background/accompanying noise.
I disagree that it is reasonable, but that's why these things are good for at least vote if not left up to consumer choice. I couldn't imagine if my country disabled access to worldwide internet services to protect my data. At some point, citizen choice is valuable, and I as a citizen would like to choose to have my data stored in another country if I wanted (and use services that do so).
The only question is why wasn't it everywhere before the election?
I do get that side, but they can implement a better solution. Allow VPN usage and library access if the exit node matches the same region as billing records for example.
Please don't quote me while defending infowars. #pizzagate and gay frogs and fema camps are the epitome of fake news.
You opinion tiling WMs makes me thing you haven't tried something dead-simple like i3wm. What you describe is a non-issue for us i3 users.
Not quite. They just require that you adequately protect PII. Since that is very expensive to do, only large companies tend to do it. Smaller companies probably just ignore it...

You don't seem to be aware of the actual fake news that was spread very widely during the election.

For example, an article claiming the Pope endorsed Donald Trump was shared millions of times on Facebook. This is objectively false. Literally fake.

The problem of fake news is not about independent news sources, it is about active deception.

Yes, the price of a new MBP is outrageous compared to a custom built desktop PC. I would think companies and startups would see the value of desktop PCs again.

I bought the components in Norway on komplett.no. The price was about 33% of a new MBP with 15" screen, but I got significantly better specifications.

They're not really equivalent, but Scott Meyers' series of books on C++ are some of my favorite technical writing ever, and his most recent book "Effective Modern C++" should be on the shelf of every working C++ programmer.
There's a difference between a reporter lying to the institution they work for and a couple guys in a garage making shit up for ad views.

The author is Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU project and the Free Software Foundation. He has spent the last 30 years trying to rid the world of proprietary software; first by working on free alternatives in the form of GNU and later through his activism work.

The Open Source movement grew out of a group of pro-Free Software people who felt that Stallman's morality-based arguments were ineffective at convincing businesses to switch to FOSS.

Modern internet companies and countless startups would not exist were it not for Stallman's initial efforts over 30 years ago and his "absurd" view of morality.

This is a smart use of crowdsourcing. From the app you can know the number of people who are waiting for the bus and relying on your reporting. Kind of gives you a sense of community. I hope this takes off.
I’ve had my Surface Book for over seven months now, and it’s superb. I use it as a laptop the majority of the time, but a laptop with touch and a pen. And then I use it as a tablet some of the time, but a tablet with a pen as well, and a large tablet at that (which is normally desirable for me, though not always). Not everything is perfect about the device, and it’s expensive, but I consider it to be a good investment in my productivity and comfort.

I even switched away from Linux because of the excellence that is the Surface Book.
Mumble server hosting is ridiculously cheap. No one has to run one unless they think they are going to discuss stuff that is so sensitive that it would be worth someone's time to subvert a hosting company and monitor the channel. ... and then you can pretty much pick the country you want to buy hosting in so as to make that unlikely.
In the old days, subscriptions kept the lights on, and advertising was gravy.

I think when clicks equal money, there's a lot less room for ethics in journalism.

See: https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

Still, as the article points out, efforts to sanitize reporting will fail. But I think that's OK. I'd rather see a populace interested and misinformed, than one uninterested and uninformed.
Sweet! Thanks I'll check it out.

Yes on both counts. Media consolidation led to lots of layoffs and belt tightening, and the internet just made things worse.

Journalism in this country has become a bit of a joke, and that's all on the lack of oversight by lawmakers. These giant media conglomerates should never have been allowed to form in the first place for the very reasons we are discussing now; poor journalism and nearly worthless commodity reporting.

> And that was out of the question. I too would have left the GDR immediately if that would have happened, and pretty much everybody I know too.

So what? Depopulation happened anyway due to unemployment. I'm not convinced that substantially more people would have left if reunification had been planned for 1995, for example.
> Are you able to point to any academic papers or even concrete examples of the old media lying about race, gender or sexuality

The fact that you would ask such a question belies a fundamental misunderstanding of how things work. You are thoroughly embedded in the system and don't realize it yet :) The academy (which is overwhelmingly left wing outside of the hard sciences, math, and engineering) establishes the "truth" regarding matters of "race, gender or sexuality" - whereby "truth" means the opinions you may express without being exiled from polite urban society, without losing your job, without being vociferously attacked by an enraged mob.

Note that the old media is staffed by people who were all educated by the very academy you are expecting to perform a truth-checking function! To be clear, there are no "marching orders", but everyone understands the game, and everyone is incentivized to say what they are supposed to say. You may as well ask for Soviet academic papers giving concrete examples of Pravda lying about industrial production!

Join a cycling club, it's not just about the Sunday rides. You'll find a few people you click with more and your schedules match nice enough for you to get in miles of your choosing.

If you're doing HIIT-type stuff, I'd recommend finding a serious lung-buster of a hilly loop near you and playing cat and mouse with your mates. One person at the bottom, give a head start of a certain distance (based on your respective abilities) to the rest of the group, and then hit the climb. The leaders need to get to the top of the hill without being caught by the chasers (not beaten to the top, just caught). The caught leaders join the chasers for the next hill and so on, until you can go no more. Kinda helps to break the monotony of riding the same (albeit convenient) routes over and over and helps everyone push each other forward.
That guy is overly excited.

A coherent life narrative that makes the parts of life fit together in a meaningful way is a cornerstone of human happiness. This inevitably biases the answers you will receive.

You may get more insight with the following question "Have any developers coded with someone who had an art degree ?"

My experience with a former artist proved challenging mainly because they refused, almost out of principle, to adhere to our company's design patterns and best coding practices. They felt that coding should be an expression of creative writing. The result was a collection of anti-patterns and dismissal of our naming conventions.

It was like explaining to a poet who now works with physicists that there is one and only one word for "force" and that word always means mass x acceleration. If you want to destroy the spirit of a poet, take a way all synonyms and metaphors.

There is certainly creativity in software development, but it is in extracting simplicity out of complexity. It is not forcing it into the embodiment of the code itself. The heavy constraints imposed in software development can be a source of frustration to someone from an art background. It is not too hard to overcome with awareness. My comment is not meant to be discouraging. It is also a single data point, as are all the other responses.
I did find it strange at first too, certainly there would be better use for such a level of AI than building Disneyland 2.0. But it's actually explained over the course of the season.

The character played by Hopkins tried his hardest to keep the technology within the park. That seems pretty odd at first but his reasons to do so are stated explicitly in the final episode.

4. Profit!
>"Fake news" is psychological projection

Yes, in other words, contrary to the premise behind your earlier comment...

"Fake news" is itself fake news. Look at the timing:
immediately after Clinton lost, a consensus emerged
among the losers that we have to do something about
all the "fake news" floating around the internet.
The timing is a huge DNC banner in the sky.

..."fake news" was not concocted whole cloth by the DNC and leftists in order to discredit Trump's campaign. Because Trump himself invoked it, because it's been a reliable Republican hobbyhorse for years, and because it demonstrably exists.

The psychological projection is on the part of Trump supporters, who want people to believe that either fake news doesn't exist, or it does, but it's entirely manufactured by the left.

Actually now that I think about it, it might be better to just make a typedef and then you can go back to using the same name everywhere. I think that would solve the problem.

This technique seems to take care of the bulk of the use of templates in C++, i.e. simple data structure or function definitions. But it's not a full replacement, because I don't think you can use this to do things like pass an integer to one of these templates, then have that template use another template and pass a calculation based on that number to the other template like you could do in C++. Something like this:

template<int X>
struct foo_t { /* ... */ };

template<int Y>
struct bar_t {
foo_t<Y / 2> foo;
};

so that bar_t<50> and bar_t<24> are different types which contain a foo_t<25> and foo_t<12> respectively.

But it's cool nevertheless.
I don't have a degree, but I was a graphic designer before I taught myself programming ~4 years ago. Don't do much design nowadays though, unless it's for a side project.

Story poster didn't specify fine arts even if most of us implied that. BA has art in there, even if it is meant as a liberal arts degree; the story is also attracting design degrees, which technically aren't fine arts either (at least in an art school).
I have an MFA in poetry (2010) and now am a founder/swe at a startup providing software for libraries, museums, and archives. I wouldn't have been able to found a successful company without my time during the MFA where I learned how to live a disciplined life dedicated to exploring the self and imagination and pursuing one's ideas relentlessly.

Also, reflecting further, more than anything, the sheer amount of reading that I was able to do during my MFA taught me more than I think I give that time credit for. Days I was forced to do nothing but read/translate ~12-14 hours to get through coursework. Greek pastoral poetry and the Augustan-era Roman derivative have been influential.

Informative and encouraging to read all the responses in this thread. Thanks, iansowinski and all!
I work in IT, because I fell in love with computers when I was nine. I get paid the same as you. My skill at being able to "juggle seven clubs" has no value. You know how to google as well as I do.

Today's Internet sensations make much more money than both of us. Their skill is in their audacity, with which I am genuinely impressed. Juggling fire is audacious. Juggling seven clubs is like being able to program well in Arc: an interesting skill with little or no commercial value.

You would not get money from YC just because your app was written in Arc. You almost certainly wouldn't get money if your site looked as bad as HN (unless it was already a runaway success like Reddit was when YC invested in it :).

It's interesting to me that PG puts any time in Arc. It's a bit like juggling clubs in his driveway. PG is probably his most brilliant at being a hacker, but that skill doesn't have the same ROI as being a VC.

More power to PG and Gatto for finding ways to make money while doing something valuable for society. Long live YC and Big Top Concrete!
If you believe that these sources (ok, I maybe concede on infowars...) are fake news, then the machine behind this campaign has at least worked on you.
Careful, by default this disables the lock screen.
Yes, but it's not the same. :( { It is fun, though - I once did it to write/read a data structure with two levels of indirection (i.e. an array of arrays) - Slurp the whole thing to memory, then adjust the pointers, and voila. }

In C89 it's trickery and a little bit of black magic (at least a whiff of it), while in C99, it is an officially supported convention.

On x86, where the C code I wrote ran, it wouldn't make much of a difference, but allocating header + array manually also means - if the code needs to run across a variety of CPU architectures - that one needs to look at alignment issues.

There would have been no difference in outcome if it had been "planned" for 1995 - so no reason not to do it right away. Do you really believe anything would have been better for the East German industry? It was nothing but junk, yes even what was supposed to be the best factories.

Except for a minority in East Germany there was no reason for a delay. The difficult and hard adaptation was inevitable! The GDR was a complete wreck.
Good comment. I would only add the generalization that when institutions lose the value of self-restraint, they decay and die. Self-restraint is the key, and it must be used to maintain principle, even at the expense of loyalty.

When you look at institutional problems today, the common thread is that they seem to value loyalty over principle. The most stark example are cops not "ratting" on each other. But scientists have done it too, by gaming the system instead of defending the system against gamesmanship.

I speculate that one contributing factor to this decline is the focus on measurement. Objective measurement is particularly important to capitalists who ultimately fuel much of our institutional activity. This includes those positions in government that, for example, decide which departments to fund, which in turn decide where to put the grants. How do you measure the value of art? The value of research? The value of a piece of news? One measure is attention, which is the precursor to all other interactions, including the all-important transaction. Media has views, scientists have publications and cites. (Artists are perhaps the most honest of all, in that they rely entirely on a nebulous network of "experts" and "buzz" to drive demand.)

News is interesting because you can characterize it as a moving attention dot across an enormously complex information space (a planet with 7.5B people doing all the things people do). If you include the fact that each individual is a primary dot, and they integrate different secondary dots, then each individual is easily combinatorially unique. News is inherently tribal (at least WRT values) because you'll want to know about things you want to change, and those are the things that displease you.

Imagine a personal news service that only told you facts about the world that you personally care about, with a summary of reactions of people you respect (and perhaps disrespect), and an option to dig deeper. That's the kind of news service I'm waiting for!
I had been a long time Windows user, at home (W10) and work(7/Server/Datacenter). Windows had been getting just more and more intrusive like a malware since the last couple years. I hope they do something to stop that.
I have recently moved to Fedora and it is just awesome. Pretty much everything works like amazing. Its not a complete replacement if you are gaming, nvidia drivers are a bit painful to install but everything else just works. Its been stable even after an update to Fedora 24->25. I am so amazed at how far linux has come. I am so satisfied with it that i am not moving back to Windows for home usage.

I hope Microsoft stops with auto-update, otherwise the alternatives are also catching up fast if you are not a gamer.
