I knew you'd focus on the one I Googled as evidence they're doing something in multicore that's not embedded. It's part of why I left it there. You predictably ignored ones for embedded systems that are hard, real-time along with those I cited deployed in industry for hard, real-time. You continue not believing in hard, real-time GC's despite them in production in real systems that aren't crashing or falling out of the sky. You continue to avoid any exploration of the significant amount of published designs you get just Googling "hard real-time GC" to focus on any peripheral, barely-related point you can.

There's no reason to doubt hard, real-time GC's exist or can work at this point. You should've moved to another goalpost like what tradeoffs were required as others did. You're either trolling us or dodging all evidence due to beliefs only rooted in faith. That is, ignoring all facts contrary to your belief that hard, real-time GC's don't exist or can't work in embedded. So, I'm done arguing with you since nobody can argue against religion that twists or dismisses real-world things to maintain its faith-based ones.

Would you rather it was done in complete secrecy? The openness of our military is one of the great strengths of American democracy.
Good riddance! PhantomJS is a non-stop firehose of random errors and productivity breakdowns. It's also a way better JS driver than anything else out there. I'm glad Google is following in their footsteps and integrating Phantom's features directly into Chrome, where it will be supported by a large team and (hopefully) headless use of the Blink engine will be standardized so your test integrity doesn't depend on a patch version upgrade of your underlying JS implementation.

So, cheers to you Vitaly and anyone else who's helped make Phantom & Poltergeist into my favorite Capybara web driver!

18 years old I had to be at work at 545am in the military to learn how to become an air traffic controller. I completed my training in 50% of the allotted time, becoming a fully certified air traffic controller in a fairly complex airspace - White Sand Missile Range, NM when F-117s were still in service. Maybe college students just need to have better self-accountability and learn responsibility.
Yes I believe so. I flipped hardware and software in my analogy to make it fit. You can restrict hardware to only run specific software just like you can restrict software to only run on specific hardware. The point is all about incentive to open your platform to competitors when you are already the leader in both.
There may be an interesting dichotomy here:

Your wife might be very social. Perhaps working at home gives her a respite from all of that social interaction, helping her to focus more. Some people struggle to focus and deal with interruptions in office settings.

You being an introvert may struggle to commute and form bonds remotely. You may feel like you read people better and connect better in person.

Now imagine there was something here that applied to more people. What it would mean is that smart managers should look to give workers environments that maximize their work and personality styles.

I tried using i3 for a while and loved it, but there were various, for lack of a better word, "desktop integration magic" things that I could only get to work reliably running in gnome or unity.

Thinks like hot plugging thunderbolt and having audio work perfectly, monitors readjust automatically, and variable dpi support. Actually so far ubuntu's been the only distro that makes it work well. This is the only reason I use unity.
I recall the React team were discussing at what part of the build step they should include Prettier.

I believe there was an idea of adding it as a pre-commit hook, a second one as a manual step and another one as a post-commit amend.

Have we reached a consensus on that? Not up to date what they went with, what seems to be the best way to do this?
I would be very surprised if this was a pick-up truck ala a Chevy Silverado and not a pick-up truck ala the Honda Ridgeline. As in, it will be a cab with a bed, but will be built with a unibody chassis instead of body-on-frame. Independent suspension all around instead of a solid rear axle.

I really can't imagine Telsa trying to compete against the F-150.

Yes. Musk's announced tasks for 2017:

- Get Model 3 production line working. (He said he'd live at the plant to make that happen.)

- Get battery factory to full operation.

- Get Falcon Heavy to first launch. (Already years late, but supposed to launch this year.)

- Get Brownsville launch facility built and operating. (First launch scheduled for 2018.)

- Get crewed Dragon working. The US currently has no manned space capability. (First crewed launch delayed again, to 2018.)

- Get self-driving working reliably.

How to Track or Erase Data After Phone Lost for Free – Remotely Control Device
This type of research is mostly a dead end. Abiotic processes for generating amino acids and nucleotides from smaller components are well-known.

The mystery revolves around how these building blocks turn into life through abiotic processes. We really haven't got a clue. As a chemist, I view this as the most important unsolved problem the discipline has to offer.

Solving this mystery would likely be the most significant turning point in human history.

This reminds me of something Paul Graham once said. Knowing a problem exists isn't sufficient justification to solve it. You also need an approach. The approach to solving the origin of life problem does not exist (yet).
I'll concur that it looks really good, but it's also pretty buggy. (fully updated KDE Mint)
A long time ago, I built http://www.ipaidthemost.com/, which is kinda related, at least to TMDH anyhow. Far, far less collaborative than /r/place, but similar in terms of staking out ownership.
Cool, hadn't seen those before. They look super nifty. :)
"they can't offer anymore than what they did, its a set rule"

That's complete BS. It may be a United rule, but the law only defines how much they are required to compensate people who are denied boarding. When asking passengers to voluntarily not get on the flight, they are free to negotiate any deal that is acceptable to the two parties.

That the airline doesn't have to offer more before they execute the involuntary denial of boarding somehow has gotten twisted into the fact that they can't. That's simply not true, they just chose the cheapest way out.
I just had a random thought. If ubuntu really wanted to push the desktop forward they would focus on web developers and some first class tooling around react (preloaded extensions or editor support).
So in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14108983 vilhelm_s posted this link: http://www.dorfonlaw.org/2017/04/united-airlines-own-contrac...

> One might argue that Dao had not completed “boarding” until the cabin door was closed. This argument would be wrong. The term “boarding” is not defined in the definition section of the contract, and absent an explicit definition in the contract, terms are to be afforded their plain meaning. “Boarding” means that the passenger presents a boarding pass to the gate agent who accepts or scans the pass and permits entry through the gate to the airplane, allowing the passenger to enter the aircraft and take a seat.

> It is possible in this regard to distinguish between the collective completion of the plane’s boarding process, which is not complete until all passengers have boarded and the cabin door is closed. But that is different from each passenger’s boarding, which is complete for each individual once he or she has been accepted for transportation by the gate agent and proceeded to the aircraft and taken his or her assigned seat.
The article has one inaccuracy that I saw - it lists WTTO as the high-dollar item, but it's actuallly WWTO, "Trinity Christian Center of Santa Ana" it appears. I was suprised it wasn't WPWR-TV on RF channel 51 (adjacent to 700MHz block A/LTE band 12), but that one was only 160 million.

Yeah, you stated my intent better than I did. Most pentesters I've worked with would show a bash history and say "look, you failed, fix these" and my client would get mad at me for not securing this even though this isn't what would get you hacked. It's like a home security company recommending you keep your cell phone in a locked safe at night instead of on your nightstand. Sure it's safer, but it's really inconvenient and a good home security system would notice the robber kick down your door before your phone even gets stolen.

The idea of any security system should be to compliment normal business operations, not to hinder them.
Anyone knows the same kind of roadmap/tutorial but for Windows Low level programming ?
Thank you !
That's the part that drives me crazy about this situation here. I don't see any reasonable defense for involuntarily bumping a paying customer for an employee.

Especially in this specific situation! It's a five-hour drive to Louisville from Chicago. United should have chartered a van for the employees and driven them there.
From http://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/swapon.8.html:

> The swap file implementation in the kernel expects to be able to write to the file directly, without the assistance of the filesystem.

So apparently it can work with a file that has holes, but then it cannot entirely bypass the filesystem, I guess.
God complex in pilots. It's archaic, but still comes up from time to time. Before crew resource management it was absolute authority, and one of the most famous consequences of this thinking is the Tenerife accident in 1977. The PIC was basically all, no goddamnit we're cleared for takeoff and we're going now - 5 minutes later nearly 600 people are melting and burning.

More recently, examples of pilots refusing to fly with Muslims on board. It's more of this "what I say goes" logic, and the gate agents were not able to tell the pilot to take the corn cob out, and take these passengers to their destination.
Hopefully some aviation attorneys will be interviewed on this topic. I believe the fact that US airlines are considered "common carriers" also influences their ability to refuse service. The United CEO has already changed his mind about how to message this. He said this on Good Morning America today:

"We are not going to put a law enforcement official to take them off...to remove a booked, paid, seated passenger...we can't do that."

That's hard to reel back in later.
2x in a hotspot is not much compared with better cache management in the rest the program. But if that 2x is important, great. I know this sounds really boring but you should write it in C first and then find that hot loop in a profiler like VTune and then rewrite. 2x of something really unimportant is still unimportant.

Also while software pipelining is possible on something like Haswell ... its limited register set makes it a limited technique. Modular variable expansion is tough with not so many registers but renaming does help somewhat.

I think tools like VTune are awesome for finding hotspots and reading assembler is like reading Latin. But programming in assembler? I think it's best to disassemble and rewrite your C accordingly.

I should have mentioned this in the first post: if you're not a VTune ace, if you're not looking at the Intel PMRs and scratching your head, you probably should not be writing in assembler in 2017. Also, VTune deals with C (and Java) quite nicely (just not on OS X).

Anyways, you may get 2x+ on something but that approach won't work with a GPU. Similarly, Apple doesn't provide microarchitectural information on the a10. Nvidia doesn't on Denver. Even though assembly will still be with us, this low level approach is going away. Apple, Intel, Arm, Nvidia, ... really want you to write in C.

I say all this as a hardcore knuckle dragger.
I'm really sorry for my comment. Turns out I didn't check Stripe for a while. Bitcoin is now completely supported yes, and I see support for SEPA and other payment options incoming. Great guys!
You should consider reading "The Vital Question" by Nick Lane. Bill Gates strongly recommended it in one of his Gates' notes. It is an exploration of the central role that energy/metabolism has had in the initial formation and continued evolution of life. A subtext in the book is how biologist have been so fixated on the "information" side of evolution (DNA/RNA) they've overlooked the massive importance of metabolism.

Most intriguingly the book presents an extremely specific and extremely plausible theory for the very beginnings of life. i.e., resolving the questions: Was there a cell before there was metabolism? Or conversely, what is metabolism before there is a cell?
In this situation, shouldn't there have been some form of mandatory auction, where the Airline would have to bid to buy the seat back. Or do what Delta does, and form a contract with the passenger to buy back the ticket for a pre-agreed price?

I do find it shocking that the airport police got involved with what really seems to be a civil, rather than criminal matter, but then again, such are the times.

Airlines should not be allowed to use violence to enforce arbitrary, or even random rules.
Surely they have metrics on how often a particular flight needs a seat for one of these "special people". On those flights, leave a seat. If nobody shows, then right at the end of boarding, allow another passenger to have that seat.

I wonder how many millions all this is going to end up costing United in the end.
I don't know any shelter that gives animals away for free. It is typically very low cost compared to retail pricing on animals but they aren't free.
War is a great way for the corporate media and the government to work together to manufacture public opinion. The Syrian airstrikes earlier in the month was a moment of circling the wagons for the movers and shakers, as the media was able to demonstrate their abilities to Trump and co. that if they work together then poll ratings and viewership numbers go up. It's win-win for the establishment.
One could also ask "why do you feel entitled to their money for the content"?

Honestly, some of the best content I have ever gotten was (in essence) "gifted" to me by the creator; whether as a free download, or perhaps directly given to me in some fashion. I enjoyed it so much so, that I felt compelled to gift them a monetary amount back, along with some kind words of thanks and encouragement for them to continue creating.

I much prefer this kind of reciprocal exchange, than what is currently the default case. Certainly, there are going to be those who take the gift, and never give back.

But they likely would have done that anyhow, regardless of the system in place, as we see today (outside of draconian DRM schemes and whatnot - for the majority of that, I've just simply not purchased those items, even though I do want them - are they somehow still entitled to my money?)

Try searching for UnderArmour clothing or other popular clothing. Generally you will find items priced 30% to 50% less than elsewhere.
Exactly the right point.

Businesses either need competition or regulation. If they have neither, you end up in the situation we have now. Airlines are killing all but a few chosen cities in our country by cutting flights and jacking up the prices.

On top of that, they're completely indifferent to customer service. It'd be bad for their business to care about the customers when they already have regional monopolies.
this kind of broad situation is hard to fix; usually a particular thought has a particular solution. Similarly, using a synonym lookup may hold you back. Look at what you want to say, not what individual words you'd pick without any constraints.
Given the scale described, it sounds like they could have had a single machine that held the data in memory and periodically flushed to disk/DB to support failing over to a standby.
>investors will probably wish Elon could just stick to one thing and finish it

Have you read these threads? There are people here who claim to have invested all their savings into TSLA, and yet seem fairly clueless about the industry in which Tesla competes. The more things that get announced, the more they want in.

Tesla haven't yet proven that they can reliably build a cheap, profitable vehicle at scale, but still people talk about the next one and the next one...

Meanwhile, the Bolt is out, reviews are positive, and HN doesn't talk much about it. Not Elon, I guess.

Introducing TaskBunny – Background Jobs in Elixir
SparkMeter | Infrastructure Engineer (Automation Focus) | Waltham, MA | Full-time, ONSITE with flexible work location and schedule | http://www.sparkmeter.io/en/jobs/infrastructureengineeraf/

Come join SparkMeter’s Systems team and help increase electricity access in developing countries. As an Infrastructure Engineer with an automation focus, you’ll build the tools and architecture that will allow us to expand our affordable smart metering systems to new microgrid and central grid utilities.

At SparkMeter, we believe in embracing automation, and our team takes every opportunity to reduce manual work or remove workarounds using tools like Fabric, Chef, and Docker. You’ll officially own automation for the Systems team, creating new tools and taking over the maintenance of existing tools that others across the organization will use every day. This will include improving automation for our software release process, automating the (now largely manual) provisioning of the Linux base stations at the core of our smart metering system, and generally building and maintaining the tools that help make it easy for us to efficiently manage a growing herd of servers and devices.

SparkMeter’s core value is opportunity: the opportunity for underserved communities to achieve great things. That's why our mission is to increase access to electricity in underserved communities - it is electricity and the services derived from it that unlock and create those opportunities. This value is reflected in our hiring ethos: we believe that the strongest teams have diverse backgrounds. Our approach to hiring has been validated by academic and industry studies that show that workforce diversity improves team and business performance. (It has also been validated by the quality of the team we’ve assembled so far!) We encourage applications from members of groups currently underrepresented in software engineering.

You can read the complete description for this role, including requirements and how to apply, at http://www.sparkmeter.io/en/jobs/infrastructureengineeraf/. Thanks!
Throwing money at the problem isn't necessarily going to help. Tons of poor school districts have gotten major cash infusions and produced nothing to show for it. The money needs to be spent efficiently. Power needs to be taken away from administrators and given back to teachers. Also, bad teachers need to be fired.

Not quite the same, but my startup, Formgraph[0], also does public, real-time collaborative drawing. I even did a similar write-up about the stack behind it the other day[1].

Evidence does exist if you care to look. The courts have ruled against redistricting requirements, as a modern example. Historically, I believe the Civil Rights Act should provide all the evidence you need.
A couple of thoughts on this I've not seen addressed here:

First, it seems that the fact that this is a church is largely irrelevant. Colleges, including private colleges, have had police departments for quite a while. I don't see what reasonable distinction can be made between a private college, a church, or even a large retailer.

Second, active and retired police officers enjoy some interesting freedoms other civilians cannot access. For instance: under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act[1], it would be legal for a person who is sworn as an active police officer for this church in Alabama to carry a concealed handgun on their person in New York City. It is effectively impossible for any non-resident to do so legally who isn't covered by the LEOSA. Under the same law, anyone who retires from an agency after serving for 10 years or who is deemed by their agency to have a service-connected disability enjoys the same protections for life.
