Coincidently I've just read several chapters from the Learn you a Haskell book. I couldn't write any serious Haskell project in near future, but learning it has been so much fun. No surprised when many other programmers are touching it on weekends.
Poor old Urbit! Learning curve so steep that nobody has the time to figure out that it's bollocks on its own terms, and they are obliged to dismiss it purely on the grounds of who it was created by.
If I was able to do so, would you agree to allow me to publish real time any thought you're having and any information that's in your brain?
I have a bank account which I manage online. I am not ashamed of it. Yet the password is something I wish to hide. That's privacy, at the most basic.
Could you elaborate on why Stack Overflow is ill-suited to Haskell?
I could see that true. I forgot that my (now ex-) employer was for whatever reasons averse to reserved, let alone spots.
>the more work is done by machines, the richer the population as a whole will be, as products and services automated tend to be cheaper.

There is no such thing as trickle down economics. Wealth does not get distributed in equal to its gain, it is distributed based upon many other markets. For example, if your company makes double this year, you're not going to get paid any more than you were, but if what you said was true, you should be getting paid near double. Infact, how much wealth your company makes has little to do with how much you will be paid when it comes to investment. You're going to get paid what you can negotiate for, which will be competative to the market of other individuals. Just because your company is doing good does not mean they're going to pay anywhere near double for their employees when they can get them at market rate, which is always pressured to be lower.

The products also don't have to be cheaper. Infact I don't know of any good examples of automation making things cheaper that aren't just competing with other products. Products do not have to be priced near what they cost to make, as examplified by apple products and tech in general. They're priced to what people give it value, which is manipulated by advertising and patents/copyrights that give them the ability others need or want.
Vulkan is not suitable for exposure directly to the web. Full stop.

Therefore your posts are off-topic.
You can absolutely replace SMTP but whatever you replace it with needs to be at least compatible with it. Lots of warnings, Insecure Email Ahead, but it needs to be compatible.

I also don’t think email should be e2e by default. Next gen email will never get adopted if Gmail can’t index it. What you want is to give them the option of selling “Secure Cloud Email Vault.” Something that’s encrypted or partially encrypted (just body) on their servers, like Amazon is selling encryption for S3.

But the protocol can also support fully local encrypted email (as detailed in my previous) for those that want that.

Edit: Oh also for the actual cryptography there needs to be a way to give someone (like Court Order) decryption key to a single message. This avoids a lot of issues. Governments are not just going to let you deploy fully encrypted email by default.

Ask HN: Best OSS project contributions for finding remote work?
(Throwaway account) Hello HN world,

I am hoping to make the transition to working remotely, so that I can move to a place with reasonable living costs. I'm looking into projects that I can start getting involved with in the hopes that this can lead to work on a distributed team, or for a company making extensive use the project.

My working assumption is that the bar to hiring remote is higher, hence I'd like to have a proven and verifiable track record within a community. Being an active developer within that community seems like the best way of getting that.

I have an academic background and I'm interested in systems, so projects I've considered include:

* Docker

* RethinkDB

* Apache Spark

Though I'm willing to move into the front-end realm if that has better prospects.

Any suggestions are welcome, thank you!
This probably doesn't matter but one of the advantages of WebGL is it's just OpenGL ES so porting to it is relatively simple.

On the other hand all the big engines already support multiple backends so adding another for yet another API is probably not a problem
The US suicide rate has been pretty flat for about 50 years. There was a decent drop from the mid 80s until 2000 that has since reverted to norm but it's not historically high.

Increasing automation of lower skilled jobs has been going on for a long time. It's hard to see that correlating with any increase in the suicide rate.
FWIW, Microsoft doesn't allow that on ARM. Only where they have previous antitrust decisions holding them back (x86).
Hahahahaha, 6 media corporations? Six? I wish!

Name just one (in Australia) that isn't owned by Murdoch or Fairfax :P
Talk about adding insult to injury. Imagine someone using your credit cards to buy compute time to brute-force your passwords.
One could argue that this is security, so someone wouldn't be able to misuse the funds in your account. The password itself isn't interesting; just the access to information and funds is. Perhaps a better example would be whether your account balance and transactions were publicly available?
Yes. Yes. Yes. And Exalted, Loved, and Adored. Critique is not the same as banning. The Child's doodle is always critiqued, which is why we say "Good Job!" to the child who shows us the doodle. The doodle is not created in a self-crafted safe space by any measure.

Creative works are not delicate embers that need to be protected from the elements. They are divine sparks, each one illuminating the darkness. That light is meaningless without eyes to see it.
I know quite a lot of sites that tack on $1 for using PayPal. I'll also only use PayPal for sites I've never used before because buyer protection.
Nobody besides Intel and Samsung manufactures their own chips any more; it's not relevant.
It's more noteworthy that very small works can be easier to study on screen, and then there's obviously the advantage of a total absence of contention for the physical space directly in front of the print/painting.

Rothko's works are often installed in "environments" like at Tate Modern or in Houston. Many people can experience them at the same time and there's not much to be gained from closing in to six inch viewing distance. They're works of the movie age.

On the other hand, the situation with a Durer print or some other delicate miniature image is really helped by digital distribution. For 3D artifacts, being able to orbit them in a viewer is another good thing that we'll probably see more of. Lightfields, even.

Rothko is an interesting case for digital reproduction because his work is all about aura and atmosphere but, technically, his work is not exactly impossible to fake. Is his work really spiritual or maybe a bit bogus, for that reason of being grandiose and imposing yet also "easy"?

Best argument, I think, in favour of Rothko and the like is the idea that "what's difficult is not to make something, but to put oneself in a state conducive to making." (Brancusi)

How different complex, technical software engineering is to the simplicity of even the most elaborate painting/sculpture...
seeing as IBM just sold their chip fab to globalfoundries, this seems unlikely.
I believe the reason it's stalled is because the single developer moved to Berlin and has been pretty busy with that for a while. But, he does still seem committed and occasionally updates on Twitter. Only mentioning because I was curious also.
I'd rather see Intel buy rights to AMD's upcoming Vega GPUs and kill off the entire Xeon Phi line as the pointless misadventure it has been so far.
These images were already in the public domain surely? In the United States you don't get a copyright over a public domain work just be copying it, even if digitally. It was established by Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp. in 1999.
Patients like Medicare Part D because millions of patients couldn't afford their drugs and now they can, not because of insurance companies or the market is privatized.

Ironically it was GW Bush who got Medicare Part D done (which is the antithesis of fiscal conservatism, and many might remember Bush losing a lot of support from his own party, though many say it was just politicians in the pockets of insurers). Alternatively, Obama originally wanted to do away with Part D because of the cost/waste (forcing millions into situations where again they would lose drug coverage would have been the antithesis of social liberalism, for this reason it was controversial within the party). Luckily there was compromise and instead of dismantling Part D Obama tried to flush out the waste using tools like Star Ratings and mandates to insurers to provide services like Medication Therapy Management to Advantage Chronic Care Patients, which alone has had substantial positive impact on patient outcomes, costs, and the competitive nature of the insurance markets (now insurers are rated based on quality metrics, insurers lose contracts with Medicare due to poor outcomes and only those with the best metrics and ratings can serve the market year round). Still its an inefficient system because of these middlemen, in fact it is arguable many of the "quality metrics" that give insurers better ratings are actually the things leading to bad behavior like buying up medical practices and cancelling contracts with other primary cares in the area to drive down the cost of care.

Now that you've done it, how long will it take you to add a third-party library next time?
If a particular company is making outsized profits other firms will enter the market to capture them. Those firms will bid up the cost of the labor necessary to serve the market.

The historic share of labor as a % of GDP is pretty constant. It has dipped slightly in the last ~15 years and some people see this as the beginning of a major change but that's highly speculative.
No. Provide a source that Apple actively prevents it.

Developers can ask users for their admin password, sudo to root and largely do whatever they want including adding kernel extensions and drivers.
The airplane flies based on how much of that mush is doing work on various parts of it, which means "I stay in the air" is a complex calculation of speed and pressure. Factoring in the slowly-decreasing density of that mush to those very important speeds saves calculation time, which is why pilots stick with indicated as the baseline. It's a known-wrong measurement with some valuable uses, and true airspeed and ground speed are usually available in the cockpit in real time. They're just not flown by.

Apple is proposing an open working group collaborate to agree on an open standard for low-level 3D graphics and compute workloads that all browsers can support.

What part of that is "leverage to get their way"?

The post explicitly states that they don't expect the WebKit syntax to be the accepted syntax; it is merely one implementation that can help inform the discussions.

If you want to vent your rage about 3D graphics on the mac go file a radar.
After a few hours of Vue / Riot I could sit and begin writing a full fledged app.

React for me was a bigger barrier to entry, i kept running into road blocks and searching google how to do things then everything is like "you need flux" or all these other things and I just got more confused and frustrated. Once you know it, its great, powerful, fast, a pleasure to use.

But I still prefer vue/riot. Simple easy straightforward.
Are you a startup?
This is the partisanship I'm talking about, for what it's worth.

I've flown an A320 in a full-size simulator and my experience with its sidestick, even in that simulator environment, does not match what you are describing. The sidestick moves quite far and quite noticeably[0], and does not behave like a ThinkPad. The aircraft simply ignores drastic input, which might be what you're thinking of with that assessment?

Anyway, I'd imagine if I were PIC of this flight and my aircraft suddenly pitched down 18 degrees, the sidestick would be the first thing I'd look at in about the first 750 milliseconds. Not sure why that didn't happen here, but I tend not to judge pilots from accident reports, so I have't put a lot of thought into it. I can't imagine a scenario where any camera could conceal itself in that arrangement, unless the A330 has huge voids under the stick that the A320 does not. Even stopping short of judging the PIC, I have a hard time imagining an outcome where this is an Airbus control flaw, no matter the (as one can see, passionate) opinions on sidestick.

You did write "how" instead of "why":) Anyway, giving feedback about whether a candidate is still under consideration or not is, simply put, the right thing to do, and I think that's reason enough.

Setting aside any moral arguments, it does benefit the company's bottom line too - hiring talented people is an important thing for companies, so it deserves to have some attention paid to the flow from beginning to end.

My operating theory is that companies fail to provide prompt feedback not for any other reason other than apathy or a lack of attention to creating a good process, and not from some strategic deliberation around keeping options open. So failing to provide the feedback is a sign that the company is not putting the proper attention to the overall hiring process.

From TFA: "The video describes how Twitter gives a fake message that some tweets are no longer available, to discourage you from clicking to them. The tweets still exist, and you can access them by directly clicking the links in the tweets, but most people would not think to do that."

From the article I quoted: "Twitter is also making some replies less visible so only the most relevant conversations surface."

Sounds like the same thing to me.
As I said DNSCRYPT or Blockchains like Etherium/Namecoin. PGP’s WoT model is a complete failure.

Except they allow other browsers on iOS.
My experience has been sadly similar. We used to have probably 30 servers at the peak across several client accounts.

But yup, around the first part of 2015 what used to be a one ring call to connect with an expert became 5 minutes, then 15, and a couple weeks back I waited 45 minutes to talk to a Linux tech. Unfuckingacceptable, not as a "managed" customer paying an extra $100/mo and $0.12. We've slowly but surely moved clients to other hosts and I can count the servers still at Rackspace on one hand and still have fingers.
There's no reason to use awk or sed when perl exists (a2p and s2p have existed for decades)
i saw him speak at lambdaconf, and there were no politics, not even sneakily hidden before or after the camera was rolling. Nor did he run around and do anything objectionable during other talks, or in the hallways.

Chrome and Firefox felt there were sufficient problems with OpenGL driver availabity that they implemented WebGL using DirectX (via the ANGLE project), despite the more obvious mapping to OpenGL.

Is there any reason to believe that, unlike OpenGL, Vulkan drivers will be sufficiently widespread for browser vendors to use it on Windows?
I'm the opposite; went from Dallas to NYC, and I dread the idea of going back to afford a house.
It also requires very different types of employees

The sales engineer / presales architect working to design a cross-cloud solution for a customer is a very very different kind of "smart" from the Linux geeks that keep your systems running once they're deployed

Neither is better than the other, mind you - they're just different
What is the difference between feature engineering and defining an objective function?
Yeah, you are taking that sentence too literally. What I mean is we don't need a new language created every week. Java is already perfectly fine, and IF somebody finds something Java can't do, they shouldn't start from scratch and create a new language, but instead build and improve on what already exists: Java. It's like you can either stand on the shoulders of giants or you can start out at dirt level. I don't like starting back in the dirt. Not to mention the fact that every time somebody reinvents an already existing wheel, they just fragment the industry, because half the script-kiddies out there (not knowing any better) will simply jump on the bandwagon of whatever language most recently went viral. The Sisyphus approach to technological advancement.
Not with that attitude ;) https://github.com/adolenc/cl-neovim
In short, having someone do HFT with your money can be a hedge because HFT strategies often do better when markets are volatile and other funds lose money.

Practicing physicians are the most highly paid workers in America. In what way do they not make that much money?
I used Haskell for a significant portion of my CS education, it's possible you aren't far from the mark.
The straightforward translation and predictability of a hypothetical WebVulkan is a strong point in its favor. WebGPU's JavaScript interface can be changed arbitrarily, yes; there is nothing simple about that process.
> Apple supporting Vulkan on macOS and iOS wouldn't do anything to expose a new GPU API to the web. They are totally orthogonal.

The web GPU API and the lower-level API aren't "totally orthogonal" if you're using the Metal shader language in your web GPU API! You're trying get web authors to use (a part of) Metal! It's totally not orthogonal.
That sort of depends on believing that all publications are of equal quality, or that there is no universal measure of quality in journalism and science.

While there are a range of perfectly good publications from across the political spectrum (well, probably not right across it but the fringes rarely produce well researched pieces), it is not true to say that any publication / PoV is of equal validity / newsworthiness as any other. The Daily Mail (in the UK) is a good example of a publication with |editorial value| < ε.
Normally we would, but that link doesn't say much. Is there a better article to link to?

Note that all of this is from 2014, also.
The reasoning you're using is very flawed. Yes, we'll never get to a state where a small number end up with 100% of the wealth. Yes, there will be an equilibrium reached between the wealthy and the middle class. But this equilibrium point can shift more and more towards the wealthy. In fact, this has already been happening in the past few decades, as illustrated in books such as Capital.

And as this equilibrium shifts in favor of the wealthy, you'll see the effects of inequality get more and more exacerbated. You might even get to a point where the inequality is so extreme, that the "masses" have much more to gain through wealth appropriation, as opposed to wealth creation. And when that point comes, democracy will collapse and give way to a communist or fascist revolution.

Basic income offers an escape valve to the corrosive effects of inequality. It distributes more fairly the fruits of globalisation and automation. It gives every citizen a share in the national prosperity. It gives us all a reason to cheer for the greater good, and not just our own advancement.
It looks like too many people thought the same thing, causing the business to fail.

down with that sort of antic, and those responsible.
Sounds like that's giving the humans who are left in the market 10x the power.
That's not true because there is no alternative standard proposed for low-level graphics on the web. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. DOES. NOT. EXIST.

The major browser vendors have basically already committed to this sort of effort and the GPU vendors are signed on as well. The blog post even says they don't expect the final syntax to look like their proposed syntax. It's called a prototype for a reason and it helps inform the thinking around what to do and what not to do.

This is just HN anti-Apple mania. If you have a bone to pick about Vulkan support then go file a radar. Email DTS. Email Apple leadership and lay out your case in detail for why Apple should support Vulkan. None of that has anything to do with trying to standardize low-level graphics on the web.
There is no reason to use perl in situation when awk kicks its butt with clearer, shorter code free of distracting sigils and other line noise

Awk is also POSIX standard; a good remaining reason to use it (if it is a feasible alternative for a task) is that a script has to be portable outside of GNU/Linux.

Very different they are not talking about HF, it's more about automatize all the processes of entire desk especially around equities.
they are not mentioning at all about HF in the article.
Yea I saw all of that, I'm wondering if it's just lip service or if they did any outreach beforehand.
Klarman said Trump's protectionist stance against automation and globalization will lead to market inefficiencies.

He also said the increase in passive investment relying on the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH) will eventually lead to mispricings and inefficiencies that can be taken advantage of by active investors such as himself.

Those two things have nothing to do with the automation of execution trading and market-making. So he is not claiming that automating the execution trading and market-making done by banks in highly liquid markets (equities in OP) will lead to more inefficiency.
Only if you're in the ALL REGULATION BAD|GOOD camp. It's more nuanced than that for most of us.

It's much easier to be a rockstar developer when the pool of developers is so small. The game of chasing the "best" technology is pretty much a ponzi scheme.
Yes and yes. All wallet software that I know of has encryption. Or you can use a brainwallet that is never stored in a file at all (although you might want to keep a paper backup in case your brain has data loss).

>If you look at polls that go issue by issue, you inevitably come to the conclusion that the "US population" at large (55-60%) would support a broad agenda of social democracy . . . the Democrats, who refuse to push for anything but the weakest, most ineffective compromise policies.

Might these two things be linked, though? If a specific policy is not often seriously proposed, it will be more rarely attacked, and therefore not tainted by the political back-and-forth that colors proposed legislation that has a more serious chance at becoming law.

So how do you solve that as a humanitarian mission? Set up a permanent camp with its own welfare economy, sort of like a 'humanitarian special economic zone'?
