42 to Offer Resources, Tech Network, Accommodation to S17 Y Combinator Startups
42 Silicon Valley is excited to offer working desks, free accommodation, and access to a large developer community to a select number of Y Combinator startups in S17. For startup founders in need of developers and engineers, 42 is a gold mine of top tech talent, an opportunity to network with talented, creative software engineers in an open and innovative community, and a chance to truly make the most of the intensive 3-month Y Combinator program through additional resources.

42, an innovative tuition-free coding university with a new Silicon Valley campus, is excited to support Y Combinator, one of Silicon Valley’s leading accelerators and startup funds. 42 and Y Combinator share a commitment to innovation: one has turned the traditional educational model on its head while the other invented a new approach to investing in startups. Y Combinator startups will have access to the 42 campus and community including an open-plan layout with over 1,024 retina-display Macs (and comfortable chairs), accommodation, meetups and events, and presentations from notable developers and recruiters. Watch out Silicon Valley: the leading incubator just paired up with the leading tech talent producer to fast-forward innovation.

Y Combinator startups interested in the 42 project must complete an application form.

The nature of the limitations AWS impose on the administrative database user account, especially because they are focused on an individual database rather than the cluster.

Shared or not is absolutely an assumption on my part. If they're spinning up an individual cluster for you, then some of the restrictions on RDS don't make much sense to me. They make more sense if it were shared.

Unfortunately, for most of the clients I work with, the limits (shared or not) are show-stoppers so I've only dealt with building a system backed by AWS RDS/PostgreSQL once and the need to dive into the underlying mechanics just wasn't there at the time.
Windows has cmake...
Thank you.

I do wish HN would implement a quick link-checker to help minimise these mistakes.

You can run it on a remote computer (or a VM) and debug it from an OS X front-end that connects to the remote-running debugger over the network. It's a pretty common technique, gdb has had it for, what, fiftenn? Twenty years?

Maintaining two separate development environments, on two operating systems that you have to boot into separately is very annoying. Developing for an operating system other than the one you're running is about as old as the personal computer, I think :).
"I even considered Korean surnames (particularly "Park"), because Korean was a language isolate (cognates are the biggest sources of variant spellings, and language isolates have no cognates), all Korean surnames are monosyllabic, and I liked that it would totally mislead people as to my ethnicity, but I eventually rejected them."

I taught at a university with a lot of students of Korean descent. I kept getting e-mails from one of my students whose last name was Park and answering them. I hadn't put a face to his name because I had large classes, but I'll admit I assumed he was Korean. One day he came to office hours and it turned out he was a white guy.

So I can confirm that that would have successfully misled at least some people. I suspect "Lee" would have worked as well.

In this case the anchoring force is provided by WaterfrontTO and it is close enough(walkable) to the financial district and the new south core district that even if it was just apartments it would fill out quickly. I think the Google stuff is just a bonus.

I don't even think they are building the apartments from how I read it they are just providing a layer of services on top for the new project.
Yeah, that's why I don't read vice sites anymore...
Microsoft hired that guy, Andrew Kim, the designer who did the rebrand (if you don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.minimallyminimal.com/blog/2012/7/3/the-next-micro...), but he's only in the Xbox division.

My opinion: they need to make him branding dictator for a month.
This is one thing that pisses me off, more about the FCC who requested the routers be fully locked down... I used to buy all ASUS as before the change it was very easy to get third party (Tomato) firmware on them that was updated more regularly.

Ya, Arch is easier because all you need is a Git repo with a file that links to the package. For apt, you have to have a full web server with a specific structure AFAIK.

It's just domain knowledge and terminology. "Packet sockets" is shorthand for the AF_PACKET type sockets in Linux that let you construct network packets from the ground up, including the ethernet header, if you so wish.

That's as opposed to a regular socket, which is higher level and restricts you to a much smaller subset of things you can change/set.

The article just shows how they uncovered an exploit by "fuzzing" input to packet sockets. Where "fuzzing" just means using a tool that creates random inputs/values.
Why not just compile it on the remote computer as well?

If time and cost was no option, sure I'd agree with you. Put everything on everything. But this is such a niche situation that's not worth the cost.

They're matrix units just like in the Google TPU but the TPU stands for "Tensor Processing Unit" so that's consistent. There's no reason to add special SIMD units when the entire core is already running in SIMT mode and by establishing a dataflow for NxNxN matrix multiplies you can reduce your register read bandwidth by a factor of N. Which isn't as huge for NVidia's N=4 as for Google's N=256 but is still a big deal, and diminishing returns might mean that NVidia is getting most of the possible benefit when stopping at 4 and preserving more flexibility for other workloads.

> even Reddit can spill into other ecosystems which may have less categorisation, like a meme gone viral on Twitter.

That is exactly the problem. The most popular communication platforms on the internet are Facebook and Twitter. These platforms do not have enough categorization. Because of that fact, those who choose to get information through these platforms are vulnerable to fake news, targeted advertising, gossip, etc.

We need a decentralized internet to protect from censorship, but we also need decentralized platforms to categorize information (and communication) and thereby promote education and creation.

You're describing regulatory capture, and it doesn't require a monopoly at all, merely deeply-entrenched players with effective lobbyists. Many, many industries engage in regulatory capture without having a single monopolist, e.g. pharma, defense, even say the SF housing market.
And REALLY screw up my virtual network switch for VMs... man, recently changed routers, and getting it to see the new router, so I could change the network to match my old router was painful enough... Wouldn't want to have to do that every time I make a configuration change.

>Customers pay

And the important distinction if you want to counter the argument that the person you're replying to is making:

Customers pay with money. "paying" with a currency like privacy or convenience isn't actually paying. If you aren't paying for something with money you aren't a customer, you're a user.
"It's always been 10-20% slower than CUDA"

This is an untrue, yet often repeated statement. For example Hashcat migrated their CUDA code to OpenCL some time ago, with zero performance hits. What is true is that Nvidia's OpenCL stack is less mature than CUDA. But you can write OpenCL code that performs just as well as CUDA.
I have been using them for 10 years at kroger, and they work perfectly for me. I go to the grocery every other day at ~630am. I am OCD about my veggies being fresh (I also hate wasting food), and the store is on my morning jog anyway. I find that self-checkouts in poorer neighborhoods are more strict about discrepancies, so they may be a factor.
Using premultiplied alpha avoids this. Jim Blinn's books from the 90s give a very thoughtful treatment of the topic.
Is this true? Wasn't Microsoft brought down for harming incipient businesses by bundling competing software into the OS? Wasn't standard oil fragmented in part for receiving anti-competitive freight fares?

Couldn't it be argued that Google's featured snippets and accelerated mobile pages will lower the revenue of content creators and thus decrease consumer surplus in the long term?
I remember this giving me headaches years ago when I tried to save color data in a PNG with 0-alpha values that contain color. I needed the color and the alpha and thought it would make sense to save both in one image, basically, but nope. This was with GIMP and I remember looking it up and the GIMP devs insisting it was correct behavior by the PNG standard even when it made oh-so-much sense to at least give an option to bypass this shit for niche cases.

>"have never heard a compelling suggestion with what to replace it and why the replacement would be better"

You can't just replace/remove peer review and expect things to improve. It is part of the whole "assembly line" science environment that was created when the US government became the primary source of funding in the 1940s or so.

If we want functioning science, we need to replace at least two things:

1) The search for "significant" p-values with comparing precise predictions to data.

2) Peer review with independent replication.

Both are pretty much just reverting to how things worked earlier.
Local politics might be bad, but it'd be far worse to have it run by Google. They'd never pick up your customer support calls; they'd be more concerned with using ML to figure out when you sh*t and when you shower (valuable data for advertisers, you see). Also they'd randomly remove you from the network all the time for no apparent reason.
Microsoft dealing under the table with OEM manufacturers, forcing none to reveal any details of the deals is absolutely a prime example of abuse of their monopoly position in the OS world. A shame they never convicted of these deals.

> I thought we got over "you must run this browser to have the app work" stuff when we all got off IE6.

Assumption is flawed -- we haven't all gotten off IE6, it's use has simply dropped significantly. It's a simple case of diminishing returns, and it will never cease to exist, even with the rise of evergreen browsers. There's also a big difference between supported browsers and explicitly mandating certain browsers.

That said, IE10+ is somewhat limiting, but some people may be completely fine with that limitation. For about 90% of the apps I personally work on, IE10+ is perfectly acceptable.

While what you wrote is correct, it's not actually the problem being described in the posted link. The problem in the posted link is just as relevant if the alpha value was "01" for "you pretty much can't see it but it's meaningfully there", and has to do with image filtering artifacts as opposed to purely data representation.

In the context of deciding whether google is a monopoly or not, splitting the advertising market into "search ads" and "display ads" feels pretty artificial.

Google has a monopoly on search ads in the same way that McDonald's has a monopoly on the Big Mac.
I've been using Emacs for over 15 years now and I do almost all my work in it. The two things that I still haven't found good solutions for in emacs are available out of the box in almost every editor today:

1. Autocomplete of methods, classes, variables etc
2. Auto import statement organisation

Yes I am aware of JDEE for #2 and I am aware of emacswiki/autocomplete but none of those solutions are as smooth, well integrated or work well enough like they do in atom or visual studio.

If I remember correctly, the hospital did not bill for him, he billed us separately, but the Hospital condoned this. I'm sure we agreed to it somewhere in the fine print. I'm not trying to vilify student doctors here, I understand 99% of the time they are not billing. But after this experience, we ask.
Yeah, not sure what the big news is here... "traffic waves" actually have been talked about for a long time... I remember reading "the science hobbyist" pages almost 20 years ago (!), about this.

I used this for a while and while it's a neat idea it was slow and had HORRENDOUS error reporting. It was impossible to tell what had gone wrong and basically there are like 10 numeric error codes that pop up associated with a link to a page that gives you scant information about the error that cannot easily be used for debugging.
How We Used AI in a Video That Tells the Story of AI
More practically, I note this from Cockroach's document on "Deploy > Recommended Production Settings":

"When replicating across datacenters, it’s recommended to use datacenters on a single continent to ensure performance (inter-continent scenarios will improve in performance soon). Also, to ensure even replication across datacenters, it’s recommended to specify which datacenter each node is in using the --locality flag. If some of your datacenters are much farther apart than others, specifying multiple levels of locality (such as country and region) is recommended."

In short, IIUC, even _planetary_ deployment doesn't come for free (yet). Perhaps I'm just not well-enough versed yet in how people deal with globally-distributed databases, but I'd love to see the docs dig into this a bit more: practical limits of cluster deployment, recommended strategies and tools (if any) to replicate data between clusters, etc.
Agreed.

Living on a gravel road myself, I don't.

On the one hand, it does have character and gives the place a certain "look." OTOH, people don't necessarily slow down, so the road gets rutted. Badly! And then you're forced to drive at a snail's pace because of the massive holes. And that sucks because unlike the visitors who are out for a pleasant country drive, you live here and have to get someplace on time. Sure, the road is graded weekly, but until then, you're dodging potholes.

And then there's the dust. Every vehicle has a coat of dust, inside and out and it gets everywhere

The road leading to mine was recently paved over the most heavily traveled section. Night and day difference. In winter, the snow and ice melts much faster, it's far quieter to drive on and you can drive at a reasonable speed. I happily pay the extra county tax in exchange for it.
Interesting reference, seeing that the game was 'born' when the original programmers and producers discussed the concept on usenet.

Being on Steam would be a great way to introduce it to new fans and it already has a 'workshop' with new servers and other mods via its open source community. I know many would appreciate it being on there - the more, the merrier. I think after 20 years, the impact such a boon could have is more positive.

['Netiquette' was definitely a part of the game's set of skills, with players policing their own servers and taking social justice into their own hands when members of the community were 'unruly'. In the years since, the social landscape of the game changed along with our internet culture, for better or worse.]
