This is effectively what Lib Dems would do, call another EU Referendum. Perhaps the only reason I am considering voting for them, after we've seen at how inept the current govt are at dealing with Brexit.

More amazing if they voted against an election, with the inevitable implication that the current regime is doing a good job and they don't want to take over right now, thanks all the same for asking.
The conservatives could have real trouble getting out the vote if people think it a foregone conclusion. Will people really fear a Corbyn victory enough to turn out?
No. This is a common (and very cunning) straw man and I hope it stems from a position of ignorance not deceit.

Silencing someone should never be the goal. If the Conversatives are experiencing difficulties pushing through their agenda due to opposition from other parties, then the best way to resolve that is either via compromise or by calling an election to increase their majority in parliament which should allow them to push through their agenda more easily.

Even if (arguably especially if) the Conservatives win 99% of the seats in the House of Commons, the remaining 1% should be opposing, scrutinising and holding to account as well and as loudly as they can.

Yet Theresa May is after something different here (a tactic which we've heard recently, but by no means exclusively, from many Brexiteers as well) - she is implying that unless opposition parties can beat the Conservatives in a general election, then they should put up and shut up as the public have spoken.

That's not how democracy works.

edit: For those who don't see the straw man here, it is that while silencing someone who is standing up for the beliefs of people who don't exist is okay, in real life the parties who are currently opposing the government are guaranteed to be defending a none-zero number of British citizens, who we cannot allow to be silenced on principle (even if we act against their wishes).

Ask HN: Listening to IT podcasts while commuting
Is there an aggregator / store that you frequently use to listen to IT related podcasts while commuting ?
How is it not? The vast, vast majority of the people on facebook (I have like 1.2k friends) don't seem to ever post anything except maybe a pic once in a while.

Likes are similar to retweets.

Seems like such an absurd distinction.

Twitter is also fast and snappy compared to obese FB. It's basically noble in comparison.

I have loads of books. Due to distractions of social media, blogs, new articles, I am not able to focus and finish a single book in past 1 year. It's serious problem. I need some serious advice to curb the distractions and focus on learning something. what are your tips to read a book

You're biggest issue will be getting selected for an interview.

If I'm recruiting it's generally for a specific full stack developer. i.e. Ruby on Rails. Personally I would see your background as an advantage but I'll still need to be able to see that you can hit the ground running.

So ideally you'll need a project on your CV targeted at the recruiters development stack. Perhaps an open source project or a side project, or freelance on upwork.

You're age is an advantage, don't forget that. We grow wiser every year.

Almost the same method for e.g. Lua:

debug.getregistry()[{}] = big_value
debug = nil

These aren't really "true" leaks, because from GC point of view the referencing object in both cases (ClassLoader, Registry, etc.) is just a hidden gc-root that cannot be reset from regular code. It is the same way you cannot un-leak this C++ pseudocode:

main()
{
p = malloc(1_000_000 * sizeof(int));

App app;
return app.run();
}

... because active stack frame is also a gc-root. From practical point of view though, this definitely leaks, since leaked data cannot be [re]used anywhere.

I don't have one, but I am bit curious how is a development workflow on a Chromebook. Do you know any article which shows it?
It depends who you ask.

As an example of sane analysis: I played WOW and Blizzard at one point said something to the extent of: we have 12.5 m players, we captured the entire market.

Then, you have usually the pr/marketing types that go after: every human being on this planet can be our user. Which is delusional.

Add to that the fact that most IPOs and VCs go after users and not much else (was it $20-$40 per user?), And you end up in the current state where everybody hopes so hard that it obscures judgement.

So, your understanding is just fine. Things have limits and Twitter may be at it.
I think the sentiment still applies. Why is this a service instead of just a library I can link and use however?

How is Corbyn playing political games? He had the overwhelming support of members in two leadership elections. The people playing political games have been those Labour MPs who have been trying to get him to stand down. It's almost as if they'd rather have the Tories in government.

Presumably the general public don't like him because the media have been telling them he's unelectable, even though he's been voted leader twice and his policies are popular with the electorate even if he isn't.
That's assuming that no-one has shifted the other way:

Unclear.

Some legal opinions have been proferred that it could be reversible, even though if you read the text of A50 there's no mention of such a mechanism.

Personally I would have thought that was something you would want to exclude - article 50 could be used as a tool to extract concessions "We're leavingg unless...".

There's apparently a court case in Ireland to try to establish this.

Also there's the possibility it could be reversed with unanimous consent from the other 27 members because, when it comes down to it, the members make the rules.

It's entirely possible that the UK could be made to leave and reapply though, which would make for many more years of turmoil.

How about just travelling a month's time first, before deciding on a year? Go to south America, SE Asia or something, check it out and relax. It'll cost a month extra of rent, but it doesn't sound like the financials is a problem. And if you decide you want to travel more, you just return after the first month, get your affairs sorted and off you go again :-)
Surely this is a Tory own-goal?

Labour is in a bit of leadership dispute and the Article 50 negotiations haven't had time to go bad. Now is probably the best possible time to call an election. This time next year Labour might have gotten their house in order and the first results of the negotiations with the EU will be in and under close scrutiny, and it is very likely the the government will have been forced to make some tough concessions. Both of those things are likely to make winning an election much harder.

Also if they win now they can conduct the Article 50 negotiations in peace and with clear mandate. Trying to win an election and negotiate Brexit at the same time will be much harder, if for no other reason than the fact that the person across the table won't have any idea if the person they're talking to now will be in charge when it comes time to actually sign the papers.
I've never really seen the "punishment" rhetoric outside the British press; among the EU-27, the assumption seems to be that the consequences of a hard Brexit will be bad enough. The problem with a hard Brexit is all the non-tariff barriers [1] that will kick in. This is unavoidable: lack of tariffs was never that big a benefit of EU membership, because the EU has few tariffs as is and one of the lowest weighted mean tariff rates in the world. The benefit of the single market is that British products and services are basically treated just like domestic products and services in all the other member states for regulatory purposes.

This will force Britain to largely keep regulations for products that are being exported in line with the EU's (as its biggest export market), while still adding costs [2].

Nobody seriously believes that the British economy will implode as a result; what it will do is retard economic growth somewhat (economists argue how much) and possibly create structural problems in sectors that are heavily reliant on exports.

P.S.: I would also not rely on the Daily Express. It's probably one of the worst British tabloids.

Threads. They solve so many problems, and they also let you really mess yourself up.

Every service request would new some worker object which would in turn spin up an FixedThreadPoolExecutorService (or something like that) to handle some concurrent work it needed before returning.

But I failed to properly close or dispose or whatever it was with the executor service. So the threads? They stuck around, doing nothing. And every service call that came in, another K threads were created.

Thank god we had a good metrics system tied into the JVM stats or we might not have even noticed, except that processes seemed to die from time to time.

I wonder if it's possible to create a set of data that produces an actual image when compressed with JPEG and an actual music when compressed with MP3 (for example, a JPEG picture of pianist that also gives a MP3 piano piece).
A huge proportion of the workforce are employed by listed, publicly traded companies. Those workers can use their salary to buy as many shares as they want on the open market, and also sell those shares whenever they want.

The fact that people tend not to do this very often tells you that people don't actually want to have any "real share of the company, or say in the direction of it".
Well, to be fair to them, they take fair amount of time but eventually they support multiple browsers. Same was the case with Google Photos editing not supported on Firefox when it was launched. Turned out Firefox had to up their game to support it and now it works in both.

I'm not sure there will be a payday for anyone holding common. Outside investors will hold preferred stock with a preference multiple that will likely absorb any exit returns at this rate.
If you care about money, the potential for regret is quite high. I barely care about money beyond survival, but I still feel a bit of regret about all the time and money I've spent both on traveling and repeated attempts to start companies. I'm at an age where I'd have a million in the bank if I'd relentlessly prioritized career and compensation. No matter how much I value other pursuits, it can still be difficult not to think about that from time to time.

At present, I do wish I had spent more time on trying to make products. I do not really see what traveling got me, other than a way to impress certain people. To me, experiences are fleeting, and memories might just as well be daydreams. I can have those for free.
True, IBM and Fujitsu/Sun are still competitive in some niches, but not on power efficiency and not for general purpose application. Last time I looked IBM was 3-5 times worse perf/Watt in SAP benchmarks. Of course IBM is still an option in these specialized applications if you just need that raw power, but no one's going to run a data centre on that silicon.
Why are Go and C top five for DevOps? There's also no explanation as to why they're 'top' of anything.

I've never once written a line of Go or C to help me with an ops problem, but I'll tell you what I sure have written a lot of:

- Bash

- Perl (and sed and awk) for text manipulation

- Ant (Or Maven, Makefile, or MSbuild)

- Groovy for Jenkins pipelines

This list sounds more like "My Top 5 languages right now because I like them".
Sorry my mistake. My comment was about Section 4, not Section 3.

RingCT is immune to the methods in Section 3 as stated in the last paragraph of Section 3.

Section 4 does not trace any transactions. It identifies a probability bias which make the ring sigs less efficient, but still functional.
Dude, Photoshop takes many seconds to start up, and as of the most recent redesign it now often takes multiple seconds just to display the new project menu. And this is not atypical of today's software.

Forget 16ms, I would be happy to get to an order of magnitude slower than that for much of today's software ... it would be a massive increase in human happiness.

Bit late to the party but this is a valid question. There's a lot of focus on writing the code, but the system includes the non code components. Can the developer keep the code relevant to the organisation.

Depends on the reason for "Chrome only" - if they use (upcoming) standards not supported so far by other browsers I see no harm in it. Other browsers will catch up in time.
With an average salary, from whatever is left at the end of the month, these workers:

1. Can't​ buy "as many shares as they want".

2. Whatever they buy, considering the market cap and required volume for voting, will be statistical noise.

> Why is this a service instead of just a library I can link and use however?

Because if you want "just a library", there's already Racer.

Furthermore language servers can provide a coherent view to multiple clients at the same time, and are more independent from clients: clients don't need to develop against and link specifically to each and every library, they just need to speak the language server protocol.

I have taken a mock interview and my experience was amazing. My peer seemed to be as skilled as me and the problems were challenging enough. This had a feature where the interviewer is shown hints and gotchas to enhance interviewer experience.

I got to learn things as an interviewer and interviewee. I would definitely suggest others to use it.
In the business we call this "leverage". The whole business is a pyramid of lower skilled workers billing high rates while the "talent" works at a loss and does all of the actual work.

You drum out the ones who can't hack it after a year or two and replace them with fresh grads, and you promote and pay the good ones to keep up the charade.

And you're spot on about the middle manager thing. That way they can say "I was over 4 teams with 75 heads so I'm ready to be a VP!" when really all they did was approve expense reports and head-nod to everything I told them. Of course, making sure that middle manager gets promoted is also part of the job -- when he gets promoted, he gets a bigger budget. :)

Why Business Process Analysis is essential for your business?
Based on my own anecdotal observations within IT, few examples:

- Relative size of CS departments (enrolments) and how standalone they are as a faculty now vs 10-15 years ago

- Observations of how many parents who work in IT recommend to their kids to pursue alternative fields of study

Statistically I am not sure how this fits in with other non-IT fields.

Personally I would love to see the points above greatly improved upon as computers are here to stay, so having self-sufficiency and cross-generational (family) expertise would be very complementary and competitive.
A large part of it is that those who can make money out of OpenStack are doing so, and those who aren't are doing the math and moving on to the next thing.

Take a look at the sponsors for KubeCon and Dockercon and consider that many of these same companies were those originally trying to catch the OpenStack wave, and then ponder how many of them will be extracting themselves from those projects in 5 years (or at least lowering their investment, which as we see here is generally perceived as extraction).

Prominent folks in the Kubernetes community will tell you that it's different but the recent conferences sure have a similar vibe to OpenStack summits circa ~2013 when the marketing really started to overtake what the technology could deliver.

As someone with only passing familiarity with lisps and the topic of himoiconicity, I really appreciated the article. However, I kindof wish the author had skipped treating the quote/unquote attempt as a solution.

I spent too long attempting to reason through the syntax before moving on with the article. If course, if the article had been a simple conversation between myself and the author, I would not have been able to dwell on it and the author could have guided me right through it, but in the written format, it definitely feels like I was the target of a game of nerd sniping[0].

It depends how you define popular. TIOBE also note:

Also, you might find it curious that JavaScript has stayed pretty steady in its position on the index, since 2002. That's a healthy dose of "this language is still relevant".
The Spies Who Mapped Great Swathes of South Asia by Foot
I think it's a little funny and symptomatic of HN that we can't take a minute to fucking marvel at the fact that we've got something like this in the first place without going over the font or the whatever.

Technology is amazing and moving rapidly, and if we can't take out five minutes to revel in an achievement like this, I don't know what the point is.
Absolutely, though we perhaps disagree on what's meant by "centre" (see Political Compass).

The SNP (and the one Green MP) support Basic Income. I think John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, also supports Basic Income, but it's now too short a timescale for Labour to get a policy in place and convince the general public. The Liberal Party supported a variant of it, but the Lib Dems now oppose it.
Yes, but their upside is limited. They already have almost all Scottish seats, and they are not going to win elsewhere.
SUSE folks on twitter have also been highlighting that they are still hiring, even in the wake of the addition of the HPE OpenStack team (or what was left of it).

Given all of the inter-dependencies between OpenStack services and lower level Linux constructs and software (OVS, Ceph, QEMU, etc.) those who were already used to distributing and managing these already turned out to be the ones who were best able to make the combination work.

That said at least some folks who were working on OpenStack and related technologies at Canonical are among those now looking for new gigs:

https://twitter.com/zulcss/status/852542117566189568

Thus while cloud remains on their priority list it is not immediately clear how big a part OpenStack will play in that going forward for Canonical versus solutions that run on the reigning public clouds.
