barrkel talked about systemd as a replacement for init, but that's not the goal of its authors. Nor was there a debate over the two.

There was a debate in Debian Land over at least four choices: systemd, upstart, OpenRC, and sticking with van Smoorenburg rc with Debian's various enhancements.

The stated goal of the systemd authors pretty much from the start was not to "replace init", or even to replace both init and rc. What barrkel wrote could be said of daemontools from 1997, after all. That, too, encouraged a move of common procedures and mechanisms out of bespoke daemon programs and scripts and into a common daemon management system.

systemd, rather, was to provide a common layer, beneath everything else and above the kernel, used on all Linux operating systems. Its authors saw the differences such as /etc/sysconfig/network versus /etc/HOSTNAME versus /etc/hostname versus /etc/conf.d/hostname and wanted to unify all that, so that all Linux distributions worked the same. They didn't just write process #1 program. They wrote a name-lookup server with a local protocol to replace the DNS protocol (and the protocol that GNU libc uses to talk to its lookup helper processes), a network interface setup/teardown utility, a whole bunch of service utility programs such as a program to save/restore randomness from /dev/urandom across system restart, a centralized log writer, a centralized login session manager, and a whole bunch of programs that provided RPC interfaces, over a centralized system-wide Desktop Bus instance to GUI tools running on user/administrator GUI desktops, for things like setting the default timezone and pretty-print hostname. To that they added rules about where to find different sorts of stuff, from administrator-written unit files to /etc/machine-id; guarantees about "API filesystems"; rules about /run, /run/user, and a whole bunch of related memory filesystems; deprecation of things like /var/run/lock; rules about what sockets old syslog programs had to change to using, in place of what they had been; per-user service manager instances and a whole extra set of PAM hooks that connected it with the new runtime directories and the login session manager; and requirements such as that /usr be already available at the point that /sbin/init is invoked from the initramfs. They got some additions made to Linux in support of this, such as subreapers; and failed to get others, such as kdbus.

"systemd replaces init" is both superficial and a blinkered Debian world-view. In the world outwith Debian, in Ubuntu Land and Fedora Land, systemd replaced upstart, which had been the Fedora and Ubuntu system and service manager for a number of years before systemd was invented. The world has never been van Smoorenburg rc scripts versus systemd, not even when the whole Debian debate was had.

I'm guessing her resignation comes with a hefty price tag as well. I'll be very interested to hear what that actual numbers are.
This is an attempt by the corrupt Darrel Issa to help H1B fraudsters continue their wage theft.

This bill is an attempt to get out in front of any real reform by making it seem unnecessary. A child's trick.
The fact is that everyone knows that Silicon Valley corporations like Google, Facebook, and Apple use H1B fraud to suppress (steal) wages.

You don't have to be even one ounce xenophobic or racist to think it's wrong that American corporations hire foreign workers into indenture servitude instead of paying free American workers more money...
Look at the job descriptions on the H1B disclosure sites...those are all just regular jobs in Silicon Valley anyone would do for the right money...
Fraud.
Golang, Postgres, Bootstrap + whatever JS I can hack into it abusing the hell out of template/html.

Seems all that verbose error handling and static typing leads to writing fairly bulletproof code. Have a 5k sloc codebase that doesn't seem to blow up in prod. Parts of it run on a linux server doing fairly CRUDy things, a cross compiled windows client handles the application logic, a virtual filesystem bundles all my assets into the executable and net/http serves it all via localhost.

It silences discussion by subtly and indirectly labeling any critics as bad guys.

Not all tone policing is bad, HN is the king of good tone policing, I don't think this makes it.

For example, I like your non-tone related points, and I'm glad they were able to come out!
I'd also be curious how this would affect startups - I very much doubt you can factor in some equity into that equation, so you're looking at a high upfront cost no matter what.

> If you think that we have all the conceptual understanding to assemble a general artificial intelligence then you should be able to give an outline of how it would work — beyond just lots of computing power and data, that doesn't differentiate the problem form the problem of object classification or natural language processing.

Sure:

https://www.amazon.com/Engineering-General-Intelligence-Part...

> Maybe what you mean to say is that once we have the computing power and data collection technology required, so that researches can experiment, the unsolved conceptual problems will become easy to solve.

No, I mean that there appears to be a basis of a solution already. Actually, multiple solutions being pursued by different groups. It's like asking a rocket engineer in 1955 how to build a rocketship to the Moon, or a physicist in 1936 how to build an atomic bomb, or the Wright brothers in 1900 how to build an airplane. Sure, in every single one of these cases you wouldn't get an exact, definitive answer. The Wright brothers didn't even understand the aerodynamics of their airplane, for example. But there were known avenues of inquiry for which there was very solid reason to believe that they would not be dead ends.

We're at a point now with AI/ML where solutions can be learned by machines for any solvable problem. It just needs some humans doing the selection of algorithms and guiding in hyper parameter space. But there is active research on automating that meta level which is yielding results. And both the reinforcement learning and the older AGI communities have working, tested designs for cognitive architectures that are truly general.

I'm not claiming we're done. I'm just saying that we're basically at the level of a working Wright flyer -- a bunch of research projects individually exhibit intelligence in separate domains, and a couple of cognitive architectures for generalizing them which have been shown to work on toy problems. There's no known unknowns that would cause these approaches to fail, so the reasonable expectation is that in the coming decades we will see the rise of useful AGI. Just like a reasonable observer with all the facts in 1905 should have predicted consumer passenger air travel.

> But we don't have evidence of intelligence arising that way in the past. What we have is the human brain, an incredibly complex structure...

Yes the human brain is difficult to understand. So is the flight of a bird. It's a good thing that we don't need to replicate the mechanics of bird flight to build flying machines -- otherwise you and I would still be stuck to trains and boats for getting around.

I suggest looking not at a neuroscience text book but a psychology textbook. Ask yourself not whether you can replicate exactly the conditions going on in the brain, but rather ask if you can implement a program to the same general functional description as the psychology textbook provides. That's a much easier task, and one well within the capabilities we have today.
(reasonable) tone policing helps prevent a bunch of armchair quarterbacks with modestly successful programming backgrounds from assuming they have any idea what happens at the executive level of a company like Yahoo.
You cannot skip FCC certification, you can just go through the "simpler" unintentional radiator testing when using pre-certified modules. That's still around 1.5k USD.

Also you can't use custom firmware on a pre-certified module, otherwise you'll still have to do the intentional radiator testing. You control those modules with an external MCU, which is cheap though.

TIs WiFi offering is horribly expensive compared to any ESP8266 based modules, still like 13$ @ 1k units on DigiKey. That's the main reason the latter got so famous.

You need to sell a few hundreds just to get those fixed costs down to a reasonable amount per unit. And then you still have to pay the engineers... Maybe 80-100$ per unit would be more appropriate, but then again I doubt they sell in huge numbers.
We didn't have a lottery system a decade ago: What we had was big quotas, but the same number of green cards as we've had for many decades. So instead of a useless H1-B system which only helped big outsourcers, what we had was a big H1B population that had to wait even longer to get permanent residency. Make green cards quotas bigger and people that will stay here anyway will just spend a lot less time as indentured servants, making them far less interesting to the companies that are actually exploitative.

But that sounds like we are bringing in more immigrants, and that's not something that the now suddenly very protectionist US will want to do.

Her financial compensation largely depended on stock performance, as is typical with anyone involved at the C-level. A share of YHOO is worth $41 today vs $15 (and lower teens) at the time of her hire five years back.

If the YHOO stock was anywhere near 2012 levels (or lower, or zero), her total compensation would look very different.
Personally, I feel like Ubuntu gets a lot more attention, perhaps more on the client-side. Sometimes, the foundational work Debian provides isn't fully acknowledged.

In terms of how much React/JavaScript code you should expect to write vs. how much Native code for a production app, it obviously depends a lot on the app but maybe 80/20 might be a reasonable (if totally arbitrary) expectation.

Here's a good high-level talk which touches on the balance somewhat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abSNo2P9mMM.

You should only expect to write pure native code when you hit a performance barrier with some particular custom component you're creating and there isn't an existing JS api or a standard/3rd party component which does everything you need already. But when you do hit this barrier, wiring up your own natively implemented module is pretty straightforward.
Link doesn't work. Instead it leads directly to producthunt. Or was that intended?
It is an interesting contrast with the Arch decision process that occurred.

That's why there's also L1, EB3, etc. The problem with H1B is the volume and relatively weak definition of what a "skilled employee" is.
I support many H1B reforms - it is essentially a broken program. Canadian and Australian immigration systems provide a good model to build off of a successful high skilled guest worker program. Of course, like everything in the US, an army of lobbyists will prevent such common sense programs to be implemented.

Raising the minimum wage to 100K is the wrong approach. Computer science degree programs are a major source of development talent for many organizations, and I doubt most companies will be willing to pay 100K for jr developers graduating out of Master's program. This will start a weird loop were US higher education will no longer be attractive and talent pools will dwindle with universities suffering from major revenue shortfalls. And if students start going back to their native countries after a US higher education, it just enriches the talent pool abroad making outsourcing even more compelling.

Further, there are a number of professions outside of software that employ H1B candidates to perform important roles - mechanical engineers, industrial engineers, earthquake analysts etc Those fields have even more shortage of talent and a minimum 100K wage will further shrink the talent pool.
The space.com article mentions "The good news is that the vast majority of the behemoths — the ones capable of causing damage on a global scale if they were to hit Earth — have been discovered", so they think a small minority are still undiscovered.

Of course, that's the problem with not knowing what we don't know. If there are any undiscovered, then we really don't know what percentage we know about. The fields of statistics and probabilities can probably prove me wrong, but I'm used to that.
> We have all the conceptual understanding necessary to translate between human languages.

Except that we don't. The original Google Translate used the conceptual modeling approach to translation, and it was absolute shit for any non-closely related language pairs. Google Translate (and Baidu, etc.) now uses deep networks whose operations are rather opaque. We don't understand in detail how they work. But that didn't stop us from building them.
Same here, no problems anymore for more than two weeks now.
Thanks! It is derived PDP-8's own OPR instruction, which goes even further, with many carefully aligned combinations leading to clever results. A testament of ingenuity which reveals fine craftsmanship.

In reality, I've considered switching to a regular mapping, so to have 32 no-operand instructions instead, which would fit the original five operations, all sensible combinations, plus more.

But chaining operands is definitely a more extravagant thing, so I think it can be instructive in showing how creative a solution can be in face of limitations .

Yahoo to Rename as Altaba Inc with CEO Mayer Leaving Board
The "failure" is subjective. What's objective is the stock price, which has grown from $15 to $41 under her management.

As bulk of her compensation is locked in stock (negotiated at 2012 prices), it's increasingly hard for her to get compensated less while the stock has tripled in value.
>There are other benefits to analogue formats though, like soft clipping.

Couldnt soft clipping be applied after digitalsignal is converted back to analogue for playback. My NAD amp does this.

It seems the major differences are introduced by playback equiptment rather than the storage media itself.

Its quite a bit easier to 100% accurately rip a cd, but idk if this is due to some additional metadata saved on the disc (checksums) or just better software existing for imaging cds than for vinyl.
Funnily enough, there is a well-known Marissa MEyer as well as the Yahoo CEO Marissa MAyer.

http://ew.com/article/2013/02/14/marissa-meyer-talks-scarlet...
Yes, and he was already rich from previous money he made in Apple's early days. Just like Marissa Mayer was already rich from Google stock.

Neither needed the money at all. Jobs knew that and didn't take any. Mayer for some reason took as much as possible.

You're not making sense. If the loss function is convex, adding L1 regularization is still convex. So iterative methods for convex problems (which include SVMs, linear regression, and logistic regression) will find the global optimum.
I'm not sure how useful an "apparently valid" license is. Would it stand up to an audit? I sure wouldn't allow that on any of my employee laptops.
Take a look at what Meyers did at Yahoo:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Yahoo!#Marissa_Maye...

Basically, Yahoo has had exactly two successes: its investment in Google signed in 2001 when Yahoo used Google's search results and Jerry Yang's heroic investment in Alibaba. Everything Meyers did was simply spending that money.

It's easy to spend money, especially when you have a lot and you are getting paid bank.

The fact that it was made by a single person still blows my mind. $24m is a crazy number, great success story in a genre largely ignored and stigmatized by previous "farming simulator" success stories such as Farmville with its abusive mechanics. It was the best gaming experience I had in years, after completely losing interest in games for a while. It sounds cliche, but the game feels like it was crafted with care. So many lovely details and surprises, and a very calming experience overall. It made me realise how few games these days make me feel more relaxed after playing them. Hopefully this serves as inspiration for other devs to explore abandoned genres.
Google, Apple, and Facebook are literally the highest paying companies in the world. If that is an example of "suppressed wages"...
> I'm wondering why people focus on financial compensation so much? Why does how much someone was paid justify more or less bashing, as the case might be?

The payment and bashing might be slightly related, but I tend to think it's a minor factor. People focus on financials so much because that's what the western culture is built upon. The American Dream, if you will. However bashing, complimenting, or mentioning someone at all comes with fame. I'm fairly certain people would talk a lot about Marissa Mayer regardless of whether she got paid anything. The ratio of criticism-to-compliments tends to go hand-in-hand with the person's perceived success-to-failure ratio. Marissa Mayer wasn't that successful, and thus she'll mostly get criticism.

One App to Rule Them All – This Is It
I believe that the majority of mainstream papers were for remain. I have not analysed readership and reader crossover and so this could be a flaw. Completely happy to be corrected on this.

Lets say for argument it was 50/50. I could definitely understand why people might have the (in this example, incorrect) perception that the majority of newspapers were for remain. As papers are seen as part of the establishment, and the non-newspaper establishment was so heavily remain, it could easily bias your perception of coverage.

"So facts don't matter only what the presented image of what the "majority" thinks?"

Facts do matter, I just believe that the majority have this view of Brexit news coverage for a variety of understandable reasons.

> What people actually voted against is losing their livelihoods -- jobs, communities, families -- to a steady march of progress. That loss is real, but make no mistake, no politician can stop it by signing any sort of trade treaties, limiting immigration to any extent, or outlawing EU Directive 89/686/EEC.

That may be true, that no politician can stop it, but at the moment (at least here in Australia, which seems to have the same trend as UK and America) no politician will acknowledge it. We've had three recessions in 10 years that have been "hidden" by immigration. The economy has grown but everyone's relative share has shrunk.

You're just making my point exactly. You're getting 6 times the resolution out of 32 times the area. 35mm sensors are already common and that's already twice the area with better SNR. Maybe not all the 18 stops but close and it's also all semiconductor technology which improves for many other purposes than making sensors. There are also computational techniques to make the equivalent of a larger sensor from many small ones. We're coming at this from too many directions to not solve it. We'll soon need to have this discussion with 8x10.
