Could it be, however, that there is a need for introductory courses at university for those not quite at the level for SICP yet? I've worked as a web developer for years and can barely follow most of that text. If intro CS courses are provided in a more accessible format, more people will get interested and stick with it in the first place. There's always room for more advanced courses. I think that should be the goal of most universities.

Google wants better international rules for data requests
Well, yes, although security and stability are different matters. Every software has bugs, I just said that the fact something is using Go HTTP library doesn't automagically mean it's production quality. There are always many ways to accidentally shot oneself in the leg.

(Caddy, in my experience is production quality. I've used it in a few projects and haven't had any serious issues. Maybe that's just my use cases, though.)
I bet there are many other boardrooms around Silicon Valley who are panicking over this. There's so much pressure to be immediately profitable and show predictable year over year growth. How many have faked user trials or cooked the books in ways that would make Enron blush?

Replying to myself because it's too late to edit the comment: I'm not sure why people are voting that down. Section 6.2.5 paragraph 9 of the C99 standard states that:

A computation involving unsigned operands can never overflow,
because a result that cannot be represented by the resulting unsigned integer type is
reduced modulo the number that is one greater than the largest value that can be
represented by the resulting type.
Aw man you should have been there 10 years ago, this website hacker news had a url to access every single comment. And quite often some of the comment were more informative than the link poster, I've bookmarked quite a few of those myself. But with hacker news gone they're gone too, because archive.org failed: though they do have the data they broke the links and it is now inaccessible to me.
If sea level rise were a seriously contributing factor to the Louisiana coastline problem then other Gulf coast states with similar topography (Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Texas) would have a similar emergency. As far as I can tell, they don't to the same extent. How would you explain that sea level rise affects Louisiana more than other Gulf coast states?

Show HN: Deep Learning for Program Synthesis
Partial classes and partial methods exist specifically to support having code that is automatically generated paired with a human-managed source file.

While you could use the support for them to split human-managed code across separate source files, that would be a horrible practice that I've never encountered in the wild, even in .NET shops with otherwise-atrocious practices and code quality.

This article is really more about the need to experience nature, and wild environments (non-urban), than it is about the "benefits" of solitude. In fact, it does more to point out the negatives of solitude (potential death from frostbite) than it does to highlight positives.

Based on my own experience some solitude is healthy and positive, even necessary for deep work. But too much is quite dangerous for one's mental health. So while I whole heartedly agree that we could all benefit from experiencing more natural environments, I don't think solitude is the answer. We are social animals, even those of us who don't identify with being so.

Hi everyone! We just released the second version of WrapAPI

We have a new WrapAPI API Builder looks like a browser, and is as easy to use as one too. You can define your API's inputs with a quick tap on the address bar, and point and click at the data you want to extract.

We also have a Chrome extension is smarter and better-integrated than ever. It records your requests and It'll automatically create parameter inputs for the values that change between requests to the same endpoints. The contents of your captures are immediately ready for you to start defining outputs and data to extract too.

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
That was exactly what I was thinking, you don't even need to create an account or anything it seems.
Every capitalist fortune can be trace to appropriation of shared culture and resources. Nothing is created from nothing. The people cede control of culture and resources so that they might maximize the shared good. Intellectual and physical property rights are a grant by the people. Redistribution of income as a condition of that grant is an agreement, not stealing.
Ripple, while interesting, isn't designed to be crypto money, it's designed to be a global settlement network, which is the first thing you'll see when you go to their webpage.

Furthermore, their transaction costs are currently at a minimum an order of magnitude more than what a Bitcoin transaction costs, running to 2-3 orders of magnitudes. It's a replacement for the SWIFT network, which is all great but not really directly competing with Bitcoin.

This article mentions that AI as a service (aka machine learning, OK, let's be honest, Deep Learning) will be a major pillar of their business in the future. However, the chances that they will be able to beat Google seems vanishingly small.

EDIT: to justify why, let me make these points:
Google has more machine learning relevant data.

It has a strong brand image as "THE company for AI "

It has (at this point in time at least) better machine learning hardware. This will change in the near future, but Google is far more likely to take a competitor in this area seriously and acquire them.

Google has not one, but two (Deep mind and brain) world class research labs.

Google's ML APIs are objectively better.
This is definitely an unfortunate event for Turks (I'm one of them) There was several facebook groups and pages distributing heavily negative opinions about movie. Comments about movie were mess. Definitely a terrible shame for all Turks. Even if they are right about history (that's really unlikely, historical evidence points opposite. As a Turk I believe that was more than a cruel war. And probably I will be down voted because of this message.) Starting a campaign against a movie they have never seen, and putting 1 star and asking for more people to thrash out the movie on IMDB, was another wrong. It won't make it right. I am truly sorry for those people who gave efforts for that movie in the name of my people. It was even 1 point last month. I tried to put my
opinion about how wrong that campaign in social media. But again I have been blamed for ridiculous claims. It was just a mass mania. Craziness. Can't even find a better word to describe it. So there is clearly no hope for a Turk - Armenian peace any time soon. And I am really disappointed, frustrated for this.
It is a splitting of the device-specific stuff from the general coordination stuff. So the "core API" as you put it remains in java while letting the device teams write their code in node (much of our UI teams are experts in JS already).

Indeed, in the UK a single working parent with one child on the minimum income working between 30 to 40 hours a week has an effective marginal tax rate of 91% (every extra pound earned means 91 pence is transferred to the government via income tax, national insurance, and reduced benefits). No wonder most single parents in the UK don't want to work. And the well off complain about a, before deductions, rate of 40%.

LTS is not about how reliable the upgrade from one version of the distribution to another is. It's about how long security and bug fixes will be provided for a version of the distribution.

Funny, I was present when this conversation took place. Hearing Gerry Sussman talk was truly inspiring. However, I would somewhat disagree. For sure, the way we program in day to day work has changed, and the curriculum should also touch that. However I think, learning the very fundamentals of computation is essential for a proper system understanding. SICP provides a great way of doing that and the choice of scheme as a minimal, yet powerful language fits to that. I can only recommend everyone to at least read through this great book.

It's a valid hypothesis and not crazy at all. If this were random I'd expect totally random cities, not the three most economically significant.

It might not be covert economic warfare, but more of a covert demonstration whose audience is intended to be the US government. "We have lots of dangerous 0-days, and there's a lot more where these came from." In that case public credit would never be claimed.

It reminds me of how GitHub kept getting DDOSed for no reason. Turns out GitHub was a popular demo target for vendors of DDOS botnets to show their power.

Edit: could be exactly that... a demo of wares by a black market vendor of 0-days for a potential buyer.

Edit #1: a non-malicious explanation might be a vendor pushing out a bad software update to something.

I live alone in the suburbs, and I regularly don't see people for days after I stock up on food and hole up by myself in my apartment.

I know what you mean about solitude in the outdoors, though. I'm not sure if the difference for me is so much about the inability for potential contact with others, but more of a feeling of the appreciation and awe of nature, and the feeling of insignificance and almost intrusion in an environment that is not tailor-made for supporting human life (as civilization is), as well as being alone with one's thoughts instead of reading other people's thoughts in books or online or distracting oneself with other media. There's a lot more time for introspection and reflection when one is alone and away from humanity and its cultural products.
Wow. Okay, this takes it from "Shit happens and people can be totally deluded" to actual, genuine fraud.

"the 'damages' of breaking the contract is equal to the 'consideration' of fulfilling the contract"

This is categorically incorrect.

Damages for breach of contract are supposed to put you back in the position you'd have been in had the contract been performed. It's not related to the value of the consideration.

Consideration is one of the things needed to make a contract binding in English law (along with offer & acceptance, and "intention to create legal relations").

Jurists still debate the rationale for consideration, but the best answer I've found is that contract in English law is seen as an exchange or a “bargain”. There is no gratuitous contract, donations are not contractual right.

By comparison, a contract under French law is based on "consent of the parties" and the theory of individual autonomy. There's no requirement for consideration.

In a "mutual NDA", consideration is easy to find; each party agrees not to disclose confidential information disclosed by the counterparty.

Another way to make an agreement binding without consideration is to sign it as a deed.

Consideration is a necessary but not sufficient condition to have a valid contract. There are a lot of other requirements as well. This is why it is best to have a lawyer review any contract you sign, especially when the stakes are high.

The unsigned comparisons in this code snippet would work fine as long as the object bounds didn't cross the negative-positive boundary (i.e., zero), which it couldn't because the C/C++ standards require that zero is not a valid address for any object. So, I don't think there's a problem with the architecture you describe.

(That said, as mentioned elsewhere, we're talking about a debug check in a non-security-sensitive code path...)
Any time a compiler has elided some code it's because it has detected that it can because it's undefined, so in the context of this argument saying that the compiler cannot determine undefined behavior is not useful, as we are only talking about the times it already has.

The obvious interpretation of the request to have the compiler error is to have the compiler error in any case it would elide statements. That may be impractical in many or most cases, but it's a different problem than what you are talking about. Presumably there would be some cases where the compiler could warn or abort (if a flag was used) if branches were elided based on undefined behavior and those same branches also included an abort of some type shortly thereafter. Or maybe some better heuristic that I'm not thinking of.

Hard is not the same as impossible, and imperfect is often better than nothing.

> "Why is it that trading goods, especially the ones that US excels at, is good, but not trading services that require people to travel to the customer's location?"

Here is the reason: the intent of the H1-B program is to import labor only in the case that there is absolutely no American capable of doing the job. For example, a nuclear physicist that is good at programming computers.

It has been abused.

If India doesn't want to buy high quality goods like Apple iPhones, then they are hurting their population. I'll withhold comment about McD, KFC, PizzaHut.

Some people understand that American is for Americans and some don't seem to understand that. Why should people from other countries who are not US citizens depress wage rates in STEM and compete with Americans for jobs? One reason that Trump won over the Republican and Democratic political elite is that they didn't understand this very basic concept.

Those that want to immigrate should follow the law and go through the proper procedures. Many do. Abuse of H1-B is wrong. Lowering rates rates of American STEM workers is wrong. Competing with Americans for STEM jobs is wrong.

I only have experience running Lustre and Gluster. Gluster was a mess, to be honest, though that was several years ago. Lustre (and we run Intel Enterprise Lustre) has been pretty solid. Most HPC outfits run lustre over ZFS, actually, so you get the benefits of both.

Ceph and Gluster can't achieve the kind of performance required for HPC scratch. Hadoop can, but if you are managing a general purpose HPC cluster, nearly all software out there is expecting to write to a posix filesystem. Much of this software is built out of old C and FORTRAN that is not going to be rewritten. Researchers are not software engineers. You need a "lowest common denominator" of storage that you can read/write at high speed in parallel. There are few technologies for this particular use case.

The others that I know of (but haven't tried) are:

- BeeGFS (http://www.beegfs.com/)

- GPFS (Spectrum now: https://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/spectrum/scale/)
- Qumulo (they say they can hit the numbers, but I have doubts: http://qumulo.com/
