You've omitted the third requirement, which is the nasty one: your outside project must not relate to the actual or reasonably anticipated R&D of the company.
Capitalist firms employ people, who support families. They may have relocated to a region where they can't find alternate work if the company folds.

Capitalist firms are owned by asshole billionaires, nice billionaires, pension funds, individual investors, and retirement funds. They're still owned by and made up of people.

Instead of inventing false accusations about them, debate them on their merits.
Whenever I do embedded work with counters, every time I assign a variable that has a possibility of overflowing I do a little mental count about how likely it is to overflow. That's part of of the software development process.

They may not have had a meeting about it, but I think it's exceedingly unlikely that whoever decided to assign a 32 bit int to store time didn't give some consideration to the date range it could represent. Otherwise how would they know not to use a 16 bit int?

I wonder about that too. How do I really know that a pair of Levi jeans at Target is genuine?
That's not a valid thought experiment, though.

First, because the truth of (A -> B) doesn't determine the truth of (!A -> !B), which is what your title inversion did. And second, because (A -> B) does imply (!B -> !A), but you haven't established (A -> B).

If something causes a problem, that doesn't imply that inverting the thing will solve the problem. "Poverty is widespread because people profit from it" does not imply "poverty would disappear if people lost money when it happened". So you haven't actually said anything about the headline by mocking its inverse.

All in that article keeps assuming lower precision, which is often okay, but then they kept testing the Titan X with 32 bit wide floats. Doesn't the newer nVidia stuff, like the Titan X support 16 bit wide floats, and don't they run at almost double the speed?

TL;DR we use a subset of today's common regexps which allowed us to go lightning fast (as long as you don't need lookahead). Oh, and I'll neglect to be clear about that.

Nothing wrong in making the tradeoff but I didn't see it in the text.
Okay, concrete examples then. I checked out your libc4 repository, and tried to build it. It doesn't even build, I get "error: conflicting types for 'c4suite_run'". (The code itself is a great mix of tabs and spaces with trailing whitespace for days, which to me is a red flag that it wasn't developed with attention to detail.)

The reason I was even trying to build the code is to get the output `./tests` produces, so I could rant about how difficult it would be for me to integrate this into e.g. Jenkins with decent feedback of which tests fail.

IMO, teamwork is essential, and I'd rather not work with somebody who is happy to put the burden on other developers just so he can save a bit of time by rolling his own. Thanks but no thanks.

If you are forced to do something in order to survive, would you say this is profitable? The worker must sell his labour time in order to survive. If this is how profit is defined, then so be it - but it is a very strange way of "profit" if your profit is that you get to live.

This also does not address the surplus labour issue, in which the worker is not and within capitalism cannot be compensated for the additional labour, for if he was then the capitalist, even in a system of equal exchanges between the capitalist and the buyer, would not be able to make profit.
> Really? Your costs are as low as that?

Uhh, yeah, and I know I'm overpaying too (though its just $20 or so). VOIP is a solved problem in the US if you avoid resellers like Twilio, Nexmo, etc and go directly to either a CLEC or a voice wholesaler.

> Who are you using for your provider?
Endstream (NPA-NXX) & Bulk Solutions (Flat rate @ $0.0045/min), but there are cheaper providers out there if you spend a few hours and set up Freeswitch to do LCR.

We bring in another CLEC for our DIDs (though we have a few dozen with em), SMS/MMS & E911 due to price & convenience, Endstream is still shaping up their offerings in the SMS/MMS arena.
I think you're missing the rumours on the new 10.5" iPad Pro. Hold your judgement before that. What if the future product lines are only iPad and iPad Pro? With iPad at 7.9" and 9.7", iPad Pro at 10.5" and 12"? Many have said that the 10.5" iPad Pro would be the 12"'s resolution at 326 ppi, and I think thats reasonable.
You can still find low level coding opportunities in embedded or systems programming. Low level network software, mobile networks, embedded signal processing applications etc.

What I really love in programming is the flow and focus you can attain when coding for hours with little interruption when you master all the libraries you use. You feel how everything quiets down around you, not because there is less noise, but because your concentration is so strong that they fade away. When you stop and go outside it feels like you have been on long trip in a faraway place. You look at people and they are acting just like before you left but you feel like foreigner. When you go to sleep you have weird dreams where you move in some data structure.

edit: I don't think its fundamentally low level vs. high level problem. It's the quality of api/library problem. Compact and logical high level library that you can understand and master without continuous stream of surprises is what is needed. Verbose libraries with unnecessary "enterprise" cruft kill the hacker inside me.

I'm happy you moved on. I would certainly. Your conversation with the founder was polite. Congrats.

Many of the replies to your comment are rude and go against HN rules, not to mention UNFAIR to the founder and company. It's a free world, if the founder sets a price you believe too high, you can politely turn it down, just like any other high-priced product. You can even state you think it's a bad deal, even terrible. The founder, or anyone selling a high-priced item, does not automatically become "evil". I'm sure the founder is a polite person. Maybe he's afraid of you running away with secrets? Whether he has a reason or not, that's his prerogative.

Please don't resort to this:
-"this fool"
-"utterly obscene"
-"What a thuggish company"
-" psycho"
-"bullying"

Very upsetting. A comment that mentioned "It's not thuggish" was down-voted.
Aren't you worried that by then someone will develop and train a DNN to do that?
>poor experiences with cheap phone chargers/etc are the reason I've been sticking to the Amazon Basics line.

This is a brilliant strategy on Amazon's part.
Nice, great first step.

It would be great to start this experiment and eventually come to an API spec that all airports could implement. There is a lot more incentive to build great apps if they can be used at all (or many) of the hubs.
Does the 49k version have a toilet?
My SO has signed is up for subscriptions for certain recurring purchases. Our usage is too erratic to put on a schedule.

...which isn't a terribly poor XKCD pass-phrase.
Anecdotal evidence of "just gluing libraries": I once had users complain about a web-application being slow. As it turns out, it needed 1 second to generate 1KiB of data. They must have been using some sort of slow ORM in the back-end doing 1 DB query per FK.
Details matter, quality development matters, and experience matters a LOT!
What you call "sort by date" is not sort by date, it's called "arrangement" and is a grouping (hence the various groups shown).

The reason why the items are not sorted by date inside the groups, is because you have some other column selected as the sort column (e.g. the name, size, or whatever is the default).

You can click the "Date Modified", "Date created" or any date column you want, and then the items will be both grouped by date (into the groups you see, today, yesterday, last week, etc) AND sorted by date within the groups.

The finder could force it so that it always sorts by the item you selected to group by with, but this is more flexible.
There's nothing wrong with selling public domain works for profit in general. (KDP has some restrictions - https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A2OHLJURFVK57Q) Were those authors pretending they were original works?

yes - but this means there is more than a simple OS operating in those devices.

Great idea, just wondering on cost breakdown.

If you can get a new container for just $2550, why is a bare bones $9K?

I think the two can complement each other very well.

GPUs are flexible and scalable when you don't know what the large-scale parameters of the network you want to build look like, and need a lot of them to do training. Let a fleet of cloud-based GPUs do the heavy-lifting of training and learning.

But then once training is over, an FPGA or even an ASIC could implement the trained model and run it at a crazy-fast speed with low-power. A piece of hardware like that would be able to handle things like real-time video processing of a DNN potentially. Very handy for things like self-driving vehicles.
Commingled inventory means that Amazon can sell and ship a knockoff sent in by a third party seller.
Guys; I like the idea but your prices are too high. You're in the decent trailer price range.

The big advantage of a shipping container is the ability to cheaply ship it. Once you cut into it you can't ship it anymore. It's not a great use of recycled material as it uses way too much steel for a dwelling.

I'm actually in the market for
a shippable shipping container house. Similar to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sPgjndFqqwY . He gives the quote of $50K including high quality fittings and market price labor. I will probably build one myself then ship it to where I need it. I'm an expat and I historically move countries every year or so. If you were to build a clone of this I would buy it.

Another benefit of shippable shipping container homes is you can service customers anywhere around the globe! Not just SF.
I think most are crafted by hand. Maybe the problem is similar to language, compiler and interpreter design. There exists specific software that tries to help you with providing solutions for sub-problems (lexers and parser-generators), but they are hardly used, as they are hard to customize (see a recent discussion about writing a recursive descent parser), so people hand-craft them.

When designing an API the hard part is getting it right(tm) and hopefully guarantee some kind of backwards compatibility and providing a clear path for its consumers, in particular documentation. It is possible to auto-generate some parts of the documentation, but such documentation is probably as helpful as auto-generated javadoc without notes provided by humans.

GoDaddy Android App Is in QA MODE?

Well, if the "few years ago" might be closer to iPad 1 or iPad 2 eras, then that might have been the case.
At the risk of dating myself, when I took my first (FORTRAN) programming course in college, you ran batch jobs from punch cards. Make more than a couple mistakes and you were out of CPU time. This involved begging the grad students running the facility for additional CPU time which they grudgingly gave while making it clear what they thought of freshmen who couldn't get a program right on the first try. :-)

The school swapped out the IBM 360 for a VAX a year or two later.
This news article is fairly useless. FPGAs have always been an option; that's why they are used in many DSP heavy workloads in communications etc. However, they are expensive. GPUs are popular and cost-efficient because millions of video gamers purchase them, driving prices down. The amount of 32-bit floating point compute on a modern video card is absurd for the price.

>By that logic, Apple shouldn't hire any employees from Google, because they might reveal iOS secrets.

Apple and Google are on the same playing field though. They're fundamentally the same type of entity. An intelligence agency vs a pure private-sector company is not.

>Any employee that is involved in this would almost certainly speak to someone. This isn't like a National Security Letter; there's no force of law to compel silence. It would be a foolish move for Joe.

While certainly risky, I'm not saying Joe wouldn't be legally protected. His favor very well could be under the auspices of an official program. Heck, IANAL but it possibly could even be in the form of an NSL. As far as I'm aware they're the legal equivalents of blank slates and don't necessarily require informing the upper echelon of a company of their issuance, but I could be wrong on that. I know that it is at least customary to do so, however.

Either way, let's say the government wants to issue a NSL requesting a very specific, perhaps even temporary backdoor to a Bay Area company. The normal route would likely start a veritable war with that company's legal department, and runs a non-insignificant chance of being leaked by those who know about it.

Contrast that scenario to issuing the NSL directly to Joe, who they know in advance is solid. If Joe happens to be an engineer, mission accomplished. If he isn't technical, then maybe he just happens to bring a USB stick to the office one day and plugs it in.

If that sounds far-fetched, keep in mind that the NSA compromised Google's internal network during the course of their operations, so network exploitation against U.S. companies isn't even off the table.

>People that are so loyal to the CIA don't leave for a pure private sector company. They go to a contractor so they can stay in the ecosystem. People going to Cisco are (1) physically moving away from Northern Virginia, (2) losing access to secrets.

All good points, but it doesn't mean they're cutting ties and shunning their former life either.

>Again, I'm glad you're engaging. I'm not down voting you.

Thanks. :)

Sure, but once again to maintain viability, you need to offer something unique, telecom is a very competitive space, and to scale it you need to build key relationships. Setting up a WebRTC client is awesome, but they are a dime a dozen currently.

Err, no, actually. it really is clocked down, and that's what intel says.

There is the normal base frequency (which is, again, the one people see on the box. Intel calls it "marked TDP frequency")

There is the avx base frequency, which is less.
If you execute all avx workloads, it will clock down to the avx frequency, which is below the marked tdp frequency.

They are very explicit about this: "Workloads using Intel AVX instructions may reduce processor frequency as
far down as the AVX base frequency to stay within TDP limits."

See http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/...

IE if you buy a 2.3ghz processor, and run all avx workloads on it, it may operate at 1.9ghz

It is more than likely due to poor application. There are lots of times where developers simply do not "close" the database connection which causes leaks. When I worked with Visual Basic and a few of the older programs, this was the number one cause for Windows slowing down, because applications would make connections to a database or forget to kill their loops.

I had been hired as a programmer to fix autobody shop software many, many moons ago. And that was certainly a huge part of the problem.

I'm not blaming the OS as it really is just a "platform" for applications to run on. But I'm sure operating systems could do better to improve performance or monitor the activity of applications running. I know Windows has some tools nowadays that alert the user: "This application is taking longer than expected" and gives you the options to wait for it or kill the task.

So my main operating system is ChromeOS. I love it because it loads fast and is fairly easy to use and I've learned to do my programming on a Chromebook. I used to use Linux to make up for what was lacking, but over the years, extensions have been released. Online web apps are so useful that it has eliminated the need for Linux on a Chromebook. But even so... I rarely ever restart the Chromebook, and somehow it manages to freeze up over time. Is it ChromeOS's fault? Likely not. More that Chrome itself, the browser, from extensions and tabs open just tends to use a lot of resources.

I know there have been experimental features and things where if you switch off the tab and are off it for a while, Chrome will no longer use it, and when you click back on to it, it will refresh itself. So... there are definitely things that applications themselves can do. But I am sure there are things that the OS can do as well beyond just being a platform.
