I brought up Java because I took an intro class in Java and they showed us those visual maps with boxes and line. I don't know, I'm not sure what I'm looking for but yeah maybe that is it ultimately.

I just had this thought of like empty function declarations with the names, and variables inside and then these are linked to each other I don't know. I looked up UML.

I'm going to have to study this again figure out the white/black diamonds. Thanks.
The example you give is a clear logical fallacy: Some muslims are bad -> X is a muslim -> X is bad.

Trump isn't considered immoral because he happens to belong to some group of bad people, but because of words - and now actions – which are clearly immoral.

To claim that it is legitimate to associate with him is a farce. There is no policy proposal that could even theoretically offset the damage he is doing. Among those he has actually proposed, I'm having trouble of finding a single issue that could reasonably be considered "not evil" – maybe the infrastructure investments that aren't going to happen, and his notable lack of homo- and transphobia.

Being a muslim is different because it is vastly more complex. Even though it may seem strange for an American audience, a muslim growing up in, say, the Philippines is not going to primarily associate "islam" with "terrorism". A possible analogy in Trump-world may be his immediate family, who could, with some goodwill, be excused for their myopic world view.
In a way, yes. I tell myself somewhat often that I should write more, yet each time I don't. The blog I have sits empty, in large part because I'm not sure how interesting others might find the content.

Yes I did, and the swappy machine started responding just a tad too slowly to other nodes' pings, engaging into a loop of join/parting the cluster, causing replication to kick in all the time and a whole "highly available" critical cluster of 9 nodes was unable to handle traffic (too busy replicating) causing millions in losses.
So yeah, don't use swap in servers.

Ironically, if the node had crashed for OoM, the cluster would have survived just fine.

"The internet is pretty fickle though. I still remember when people switched from Altavista to Google and from MySpace to Facebook. It didn't take all that long and look at those old companies now."

Past performance is no guarantee for the future. We zillions of PC manufacturers before we got the likes of HP and Dell, and twenty years later, we still have them. On the desktop OS/application front, the same happened with Microsoft becoming the main player.

The common theme, I think, is that things are chaotic while there is room for everyone to grow, but get more predictable once the entire pie has been divided (aside: that's an argument in favor of Uber's "land grab at any cost" strategy)

Oracle, Google, or Facebook may eventually disappear, but it won't happen at he time scale at which Altavista or MySpace did.
Narrative Economics [pdf]
No, I represente those that have real life experience in the industry, and don't care one little second about lock-in, because the industry learned to profit from it since the early 80's.

- game studios specializing in ports among hardware platforms

- consultants doing optimization work in specific APIs

- hardware platforms that offer an unique experience in terms of gameplay, due to their CPU and GPU architectures, that no portable 3D ever exposed, not even Vulkan (hence NVN on Switch)

- middleware engines that allow for portability, while providing access to all hardware features, with better debugging tools that so called portable APIs ever had

Your problema is that no one in the industry, the people that actually pay for tickets to attend GDC and similar conferences not weekend indie devs, don't see lock-in as a burden, rather as a way to make the game exclusive and sell their IP.

Which incidently is something I bet you also don't agree with, the way IP is managed throughtout the industry.

Once upon a time I did think like that, during my FOSS/GNU/Linux phase, then I had the opportunity to have a glimpse how the industry works from the inside, not how people think they should.

Are you aware that even Intel is not putting that much effort on their Vulkan drivers for Windows?
You simply buy a generic Broadcom BCM94360CD for $25 and you are set; works on macOS, Linux, W7, W10.

The only missing thing in NUC is a more powerful graphics card for machine learning/games but that will come with 7nm process as well I am sure.

Similar size to Mac Mini is Zotac NEN, including quadcore i5 and NVidia 970M, which might be an interesting NUC alternative (though considerably pricier). I run SteamOS on 4k TV with it.
Contactless is even less secure than chip and pin. You can literally read card details out of someone's wallet without them having any way to tell. Even if someone uses a wallet that guards against this sort of attack, they're still vulnerable at the point of use.

Most obvious problem is: define offensive. What other people take as offense doesn't look offensive to me at all, and vice versa. There are other problems too.

The only way to fight offenses is to restrict phrasing to Common Universal Neutral Terms. Of course, message consisting only of Common Universal Neutral Term Sequences cannot possibly contain an offense!

Heh. A lot of time ago we programmed and created systems for regular business — accounting, automated workplaces, etc. It was all simple, but of course we occasionally introduced bugs here and there, and sometimes an entire module was built in a wrong way (specification errors). I will tell the rest from my pov, because it applied to everyone in general.

For the first hundred of error reports I tried hard to get any information beyond "nothing works" — yeah, not just something doesn't work, nothing does. Phone line diagnostics were hard and both sides quickly tired because of lack of understanding. Me and my client had different sets of terminology, thinking styles and stereotypes. But as the time goes by, my remote-debug skill grows.

And I started to get feedback. It was still inaccurate and often rough, but two things could easily be noticed: 1) there still are people who won't help; 2) people who help have their own ideas on what's happening depending on their [relatively tiny] computer knowledge. That started an era of the great misunderstanding. As we easily exchanged clients in our tight company, we did entire blocks and modules in wrong ways, based on information from incompetent client. We did work that no one needs. We prepared for something, and it was not there. And then I finally got why (partly) 1)-group exists. They just went through all that a long time ago.

The fact is, whether does your client tell you what's happening, or does not, you have to go there and have all of your tools and instruments and anything you have with you. You do not listen on their interpretations. You just go there and say "show me". And only then you have all the information on what is actually happening and where and who is in charge.

After we realized that, we stopped asking for any feedback. Literally. The only two things we needed to know about the problem were 1) is that a "show stopper"? 2) who encountered it. First one makes your weekly plan. Second one gives a hint about a module name and its developer.

We stopped exchanging info from clients, intentionally. If I need someone to make things for me, I just call and tell him to go to the place and solve anything they need, without details. If I get a call, I just say ok, I'll be there in two hours. That was an improvement.

So, if your client tells you "it doesn't work", just be happy that he doesn't spend your time and be sure that you have remote desktop app or remote access system enabled at his side.

I was at SFO until a little after 2AM. The things most frightening me right now are (not just SFO but multiple locations):

1. CBP appears to be willfully disobeying orders from federal courts.

2. CBP also is reportedly refusing to speak to sitting members of Congress, they only report to Trump, when Congress most certainly does have oversight powers and the ability to call CBP on the carpet.

At this point I'm seeing open speculation about whether/when a federal court will just send in the US Marshals to start perp-walking CBP personnel out of the airports in leg irons. And that is not a good place for a country which allegedly has the rule of law to be.

Oracle now owns a huge chunk of the enteprise space. They already had a significant base with their database and ERP and CRM apps. Apart from that the large multi-billion dollar acqusitions of BEA, PeopleSoft, Siebel, Netsuite and a near endless multitude of others have left them with tens of millions of high paying and locked in customers in the enteprise space.

Quantity of people and the time involved.

This case is temporary, and hopefully short term - homeless people need a permanent, long term solution. Furthermore, for people like legal US residents who are temporarily locked away from their home, shelter generally solves their problems as they need just shelter; while for homeless people it wouldn't solve their root cause of homelessness which generally comes out to either unemployability, addictions or mental illness.

This case also involves much, much less people that the homeless population. In essence, they're choosing to help a smaller problem where they could make a difference instead of a much larger issue that's intractable by those means.
That's dumb argument, sorry. Disaster relief is temporary and help is provided to people who suffer from external circumstances. Housing for homeless is a daily job for the government and it is different, significantly bigger problem, for which the solution is not affordable for any single private organization or person. Private organizations have limited resources and they have the right to choose whom to support first. Moreover, here the main support comes not from Airbnb, but from the hosts who offer their houses for free. Airbnb contribution here is to provide a web service for hosts and people in the need and not to take money for that.
Will HN's no politics rule apply to unilateral changes to US immigration?
HN is a central resource for discussion amongst the smartest and most plugged-in people in the world. We should be collaborating on technologies to fight back against ignorance and intolerance. Instead we debate the merits of database implementations. Why is this? Because HN (as a result of SV mentality) believes the fallacy that silence is apolitical.
This is just what we've come to expect from them at this point. I'll still complain, but I can't really work up the energy to get seriously mad about it.
Unfortunately this will look like a PR move. Why can't ordinary people step in to host the people affected for this short period?
I don't think you're giving them enough credit here. I'd wager that a lot of these recently-announced initiatives have strong grass-roots origins, meaning that employee sentiment was the primary motivator (rather than PR bandwagoning). Sure, it would be great if they had thought about this earlier or created a broader program. But you could say the same thing about the public - why only now do we, individual citizens, care enough to act and speak out? Sometimes it takes an action close to home to scare us out of inaction. Companies - even unicorns - are made of people, and those people are just as susceptible to social pressure and zeitgeist as the rest of us.
I guess so, but at our shop, if at all possible, we don't do any vendor specific SQL and all the tricky stuff is handled at the app level.
Its not unconstitutional to issue Executive Orders. It is unconstitutional to deny equal protection of laws to green card and work permit holders. Or at least, a Federal Judge thinks there is a strong enough case to issue an injunction to this particular Executive Order. I had no issues with the other orders that Trump issued, fwiw.
Actually, I don't think the Culture is a case of "just leave the AI types completely in charge" - they are presented as having a lot of votes on things from whether you are allowed to build stuff (e.g. a network of cable cars) in a wilderness through to all-out-war. If a side looses a vote on something serious they regard it as natural that the society can split and nobody seems to regard this as unusual or undesirable.

One of the interesting things about the Culture novels is if you have god-like AIs (i.e. the Minds) how can a society control them? The answer the Culture gives is that the only real control is peer pressure e.g. the Grey Area:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCU_Grey_Area

Of course, any human in the Culture has to be comfortable with the idea that they are essentially well treated pets. Although pets that are free to leave at any time...

Heh, I myself was a very quiet internet persona for most of my life, though I've been on the internet for longer than I remember myself as an adult (my parents first got a dsl in 1998). The last two years though... I've been personally affected by Canada quietly denying renewing work permits to a hundred or so Russian nationals and I began to turn way more emotional in internet conversations since then.

When I was a child, I was of no high opinion of 30+ plus adult men with families wasting time on vain talks in place where their opinion mean nothing. Now, I myself will soon become one of them.

So, firstly, everything this guy got was freely given. There was no expectation of reciprocation, so he doesn't owe anyone anything. That's part of the beauty of the internet gift economy.

But, i bet that he has given something back. Maybe not contributing content of his own. But has he ever voted up a post? Voted down a comment? Flagged something? Reported a bug? Enabled usage statistics reporting in some software? All of those are tiny, but non-zero, contributions to making the web better.

> Trump would have to do something that threatened humanity to catalyze an uprising. "Nuclear war with China or something," Ginsburg suggested. Basically, Trump would have to start a world war that no one wanted.

In reality the opposite is true. Media is trying to spin Trump's antiwar preferences. The military-industrial-spy complex clearly prefers a war, best with China or Russia, but currently only with Iran. And the public is easily persuadable on this.

But demonizing Trump over his anti-liberal agenda started these attempts already. It's not enough for a coup though.
