Intel employee here, working in string and regex processing. SSE4.2 has its uses, but it is not always the fastest thing you can use. We don't use it anywhere in Hyperscan. SSE4.2 instructions are not particularly hard to beat with other sequences, and it's worth noting that these instructions have not been promoted to AVX2, much less AVX 512.
A little background - Talentbin scraped the web then produced (millions?) of "candidate profiles" from candidates that they had never contacted or got agreement from. Turns out the court thinks this makes them not a recruitment agency but a consumer reporting company, and they then violated this and that and should cough up.

Now I think that's good riddance to bad business practices and would applaud from the sidelines. But as it seems my email is in the pile, I am being asked to either remove myself, or sign up.

I feel the damage I have suffered is small if anything so I am unsure - join a class action or not?

Thoughts?

You're pretty entitled there -- not only are you demanding things from other people, but if they don't fulfill your requests, they have to give you a reason to your satisfaction or you think poorly of them! You should really think about learning some boundaries, and that you're not entitled to things from other people.

> Systemic doesn't imply directed, it can also be used to mean it is deeply embedded in the system.

The original comment used the wrong word. So what does this mean? are all white males part of this system that is designed to keep women down?

> It is one common example of a pervasive mindset that informs all kinds of actions

Can you name those all kinds of actions? If I go today and tell a female to smile more, can you tell me what dark path will that lead to? I would be also keen on seeing solid proof that connects telling women to smile more to the tragedies that women have to endure on a daily basis. Also, is telling women to smile less the way to fix all these problems?

> including seeing and treating women as decoration.

Treating them as decoration where and how? Also, are you familiar with this thing called biology and evolution? Members of species of the opposite sex judge potential mates based on a appearance (among other things).

Did you also stop to think that women might be equally or more judgemental about looks.

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ylmg9zrEDo

> Women can be sexist and perpetuate sexism too.

Or maybe it's just not really sexist.

> People do. This isn't zero sum though - people can protest that and other issues that are ongoing simultaneously.

What I meant is: protest against racism in areas where there is actual racism and don't just point the finger at anyone, you won't win people that way.
No, Internet.org Free Basics is Facebook paying people's data costs for traffic to Facebook services, akin to Amazon giving out Amazon gift cards. It isn't preventing anyone from buying other traffic at standard destination-neutral rates, or privatizing a publicly-financed utility.

Chrome can't properly compete privacy wise, same as Google in general can't. Privacy will be an issue, and increasingly so.

This law is nonsense. You don't have to respect it if you are not in the EU.
> Tech-savvy users don't drive adoption.

I think that they do to some extent. People ask their tech-savvy friends what to buy/use, or they use what work computers provide, which are configured by tech-savvy users.

> Mozilla getting involved in meetups

Not only meetups -- I'm talking about the feeling of the community in general. I've been using the browser since Mozilla Application Suite and was a very active early evangelist. The community was much different back then.

> not deprecating an API allowing vim navigation in the browser

I think that you are underestimating the enthusiasm people have for some of those Firefox tools. :)

> would take Mozilla even farther from relevance

Re-creating the grassroots-driven community would not make Mozilla less relevant. It's exactly what they need to do to survive.
Benefits of Electronic Gadgets for Children
Existing stakeholders see more traffic, less parking, more noise and disturbance. Higher density housing generally creates more conflicts among residents.

So existing residents already in place resist more residents arriving in the same area. Which is understandable, since ADUs do not address adding services provided by government to existing properties. They just increase the number of inhabitants in the same area.

Also much of Portland has a much better and less expensive public transportation system than the SF Bay Area does.

> Forcing someone to assimilate just because the other person is "not from here" certainly is racist.

Certainly they have no need of going to a place where they cannot adapt to the local culture? They crossed many otherwise peaceful countries. There's many other places where they can go to where they can keep 100% of their cultural habits with no friction with anyone else.

Moderate muslims have no freaking problem with playing along with local rules. It's always some radical jackass pretending that every other muslim is getting as offended as he is by the suggestion and some braindead panel show or journalist playing along with it.

> So what? Radical religious schools are nothing new, in fact they're a price of having religious freedom.

Nice bait. Some of these schools are riddled with all sorts of abuse of its students, including physical. Passively letting muslim kids get educated, abused and raised by islamists in your own territory is a far greater betrayal to these kids than it would have been to put them in a school system where they don't hear about islam at all except in the context of "here's a list of the major religions in the world, here's the main ideas about them, I guess nobody can really be sure about what's out there after all, right? So let's all try to get along, and if someone is trying to get you to kill for your religion, you turn them in to the police, because that's very messed up. Also, atheists are okay people tips fedora."

> lel what about christian past or people elsewhere fighting back after decades of terror

Hey, how about you give me a list of present day British Christian suicide bombers, or Hindus or Buddhists causing terror in Europe before you give me this false equivalence garbage. It's so strange that Hindus and Buddhists are turning violent only where they have extensive conflict with radical Islam, colour me very surprised.

This is not about hating woman.

There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that a woman (or anyone) will want someone who is stable emotionally and doesn't cry to them over making serious money because "unhappy".

If you compare to the Linux ecosystem, you can see why IoT upgrades are broken. In the Linux ecosystem, software releases are typically independent from packaging, as well as from package managers and their update configurations, allowing users the freedom of being somewhere on the spectrum from completely unstable rolling release distributions to highly stable releases like Debian Stable. Software which auto-updates itself, instead of relying on the package manager to update it, is widely considered to be an anti-pattern.

IoT needs a packaging ecosystem to protect the freedom of its users, instead of allowing IoT devices to independently connect upstream to the manufacturer to get updates. Of course, auto-updates should be the default, because most users won't pay attention, but the user's freedom should be protected and preserved.
The largest known sauropods were almost 100 tons and 40 meters long, ~100 million years ago. e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentinosaurus

For comparison the largest blue whales are up to ~180 tons and 30 meters long, and the largest elephants are ~12 tons and 6 meters long (some prehistoric elephants may have gotten up to 22 tons).

We try to be as open as possible nowadays. However, these backend systems are from an old proprietary contract. There's a computer with a GPS receiver and driver UI in each bus and tram sending the MQTT messages to mqtt.hsl.fi (IBM MessageSight hardware for now) over 3G cellural data connection.

The subway can't use GPS but the trains read RFID tags installed along the tracks and there's wifi coverage. The suburban trains have Raspberry Pi's listening in promiscuous mode in the maintenance Ethernet ports and relaying the vehicle data to us.

There is a great deal of concern in Portland right now for affordable housing, so while some of the more affluent neighborhoods are opposed to density, they've generally been overruled by the rest of the city.
I've been there. I was unhappy, I left, I felt better. Later I started other businesses.

In my case the threshold is ~200 people; after that I don't really recognize everyone. In once case I was having fun but my wife was miserable.

In all these cases I was glad I left.

Now: if an acquisition truly is imminent, and you can hang on a bit longer, go for it. The buyer will be able to find someone to run the business, perhaps internal, perhaps not. It likely won't happen overnight (unless they have someone in mind already) but some pressure will come off you immediately.

If the acquisition isn't truly imminent you can indeed start looking for someone to run the business. Believe me there are people with domain experience and executional experience you can find. Use an executive headhunter. Have your board members help.

Sounds like burnout. Take it seriously, but it doesn't mean all is lost! Those LOIs are light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh, and consider therapy. You may or may not need drugs, but they probably aren't the first line of therapy. The talk therapy is good, and as a CEO you probably have nobody else to talk to about certain things -- especially if you think you can't talk to your spouse about stuff. Talk therapy is not a sign of weakness -- in fact you sound like the kind of person who has their act together (probably you don't feel like it, but your note says you understand something's not right), and so you probably will benefit a lot from it. Many people in the valley, especially top execs, are in therapy and it helps them a lot.
I think you meant bezel there. Not sure though.
> Lisp used to be the language for AI

IIRC, when Lisp was a leading language for "AI", it was specifically a leading language for expert systems, not ML. Even to the extent that was due to language features being well-suited to the domain, there's still no real reason to expect that suitability to translate to the radically different approaches to AI today.
If I just read wiki correctly, they set out with the goal of removing systemd and then kept systemd?
Unlike the post linked below, I am not anonymous (it's very easy to figure out who I am) and I am verifiably a former employee of the Mozilla Corporation.

And if you think it's as simple as "political correctness"... I don't even know how to begin talking to you.

Remember: we're not talking about someone "just expressing an opinion" here (as many discussions tried to claim at the time). Brendan didn't just say something, or write something: he actively worked to have his personal opinion -- of whose lifestyle was acceptable and whose lifestyle wasn't -- written into the fundamental law of the state where Mozilla is headquartered. And that opinion, once it became law, hurt employees of the company he was trying to lead, and told them they were effectively second-class citizens.

Such a complete and utter lack of regard for one's fellow humans is disqualifying no matter how much "technical prowess" someone might have. His only choices at that point were to come back in line with the bare-minimum requirements of a free society (such as equality of all people before the law), or be shown the door. And any attempt to dismiss that as "political correctness" reveals a lot about the nature of the person attempting to dismiss it.
Actually, pretty good advice in the opposite direction, too. If I had known at 18 that I could have easily and successfully walked away from teams, bosses, companies, partners, and investors who gave 'bad vibes', I would easily have (at least!) an extra couple million in the bank.

I wasted countless opportunities waiting for things to get better, when I probably intuitively knew that they wouldn't. Partly, it was because I didn't want to be considered inconsiderate or rude. But, also, it was because I latched on to other things: the mission, the market, the tech, the product, the teams, etc.
It's never too early to remember that in a startup the decision to get fired depends mostly on the emotional state of a founder. That there is no process in place. It's random. If you do get fired, you have a good chance of ruining your carrier, not being able to get a good reference from your last place of work, wasting opportunities.
If you have no business in EU this law is not for you and you can ignore it. If you're in the EU you may get a fine if you're unlucky.
Statement from the OP:

> Devuan is about choice. We think people should be able to choose whether to use a GNU+Linux system with or without systemd.

> Devuan decided to fork not only the base distribution, but also its governance, because Debian has made it difficult to avoid systemd as init, entangling the system with unnecessary dependencies and did so despite widespread community concern. We encourage potential Devuan users who wish to install systemd to use Debian’s installer, Debian’s packages and Debian’s mailing lists, all available directly from Debian’s mirrors.

Ask HN: Designing via Interface in Java?
Hi,

Often I see experienced Java developers asking us to develop the system using Interfaces rather than starting with classes. Yes, I do create interfaces, I know whats its usecases are etc. However the term "design your system using interfaces" is somewhat confusing to me. Is it a pattern for designing robust application in Java world? How should one learn it?

If so are there any online books / blogs regarding the same?

Note: I had already asked the question in Java Subreddit, but I want to get HN community thoughts as well.

I couldn't find a single chart from invention of the web browser to present, but these two cover most of it:

What strikes me is the diversity. Chrome has mostly been stealing market share from IE; Safari is growing too and is by no means dead; FF has been declining, but not that much. There are 4-ish strong browsers in the market now when before there was only 1 (IE) and a half (Mozilla). Certainly a different picture from the chart in the article.

Prior is in some sense the fruit of data.

Humans develop prior by accumulating experiences. Laws of physics are discovered through experimentation and introspection over many data points.

So what we really need is a life-long learner - a machine learning algorithm that could extract knowledge from many tasks and store that in its long-term memory. The fact that we don't have an architecture for long-term memory is the main road blocker towards this goal.
Great advice, thanks, to add to this, don't worry about the state of your existing product, it's what it is, if you are acquired it is more likely for your presence, reputation and talent than for actual lines of code. [edit] spend some time forest bathing if you can!
+1 for talking therapy, all drugs have a risk profile, however low, I've never encountered anyone who has come to harm through talking therapy (prove me wrong, but it's rare right!), and trying that first still leaves the drug option if things seem to reach a crisis point.
I feel your pain. I honestly think you should talk to your wife or your close friends about this. You'll be surprised how people help out when they know you are in distress.

Also, taking on a different activity that involves leadership might greatly help in boosting your morale. What you have done with your company is quite commendable that you should be proud of. If I were you, I would focus all my energies on the company's future post acquisition. To think of ways of growing the company beyond what it is today and see the acquisition as a possible out in that direction, not the end goal in itself might be helpful.
You might also want to try to accomplish something in a field that you have no clue about but is not super hard on your brain. For instance, you could learn ballroom or Tango. You could also join a basic mountaineering course. You'll be out in the nature and accomplishing an endurance task. All your energies will be focused away from your day to day mind numbing activities and towards accomplishing a very different goal.

Good luck !
