People will actively refuse to read error messages[1].

I don't know how many times I've been trying to fix something with somebody, and an error dialog comes up, and they dismiss it instantly, before whatever content it might hold has a chance to flash across their retinas. Then I have to get them to do whatever it was four or five more times, before they calm the hell down and let me read what the error message is telling them.

32 full width vector ALUs running at 3.5 GHz is probably not realistic. I think that it is running around 2GHz at most [1]. The trick is that FMAs are normally counted as two FLOP.

[1] (* (/ 512 64) 2 2 18 2 1000 1000 1000) = 1152000000000 FLOPS
(512 unit over 64 bits double) times 2 for FMA times two units, over 18 cores at 2 GHz)

edit: the 10 core part has a base clock of 3.3GHz. The 18 core part will probably be in the 2.5 range at best (the best 18 core Broadwell I can find runs at 2.3, but it is a dual socket part). Running in full AVX512 mode will probably downclock the cpu further.
I believe they are entered by authorized service officers using methods typical in other industrial data entry applications (e.g. serial console). Entering waypoints and target coordinates has nothing to do with computer programming. Just like when you bum an extra trailing zero in your Excel spreadhseet it's not a programming error.

I saw the same thing. I had to kill the entire Chrome process. There's something being loaded, probably via ads, that totally wrecks the entire Chrome process group not just the renderer, which is impressive.
We have a special themed mailing list which it is customary to send a humourous message and appropriately-themed animal picture to.
Watching TV while coding has its limits and drawbacks. Only possible in home-office, and when the coding task is more routine than challenge. Probably a bad habit.
I can't find a reference to it, but a quote comes to mind when I see the list: "Worrying about A.I. taking over in a time of climate change is like standing on the tracks with an oncoming train, and worrying about lightning hitting you". Anyone remember who said it?

It depends on the use case. If its a typical Google Home-style "turn on the lights", "look up this thing", "do my accounts" then I agree (although the AI may need to do a lot of prompting since people (at least me) often don't know what we really want).

For less casual uses, I'm not sure. I guess there's a spectrum.
Over here it generated

local b
do
local _accum_0 = { }
local _len_0 = 1
for k, v in pairs({
1,
2,
3,
4
}) do
_accum_0[_len_0] = v * 2
_len_0 = _len_0 + 1
end
b = _accum_0
end

It did a pretty good job. Unlike your code, it doesn't have any function calls, and unlike the code I would probably write, it doesn't use the # operator.

I think they're selling a new Android phone, plus some accessories like a 360 camera, but the site makes it seem like the 360 camera is the main product.
Doesn't the Java processor tell you in the error message that it "can't find x in classpath" or whatever?

Perhaps the lesson was "read the error message; if it doesn't help then take that as a call to produce useful errors in your own programs"?
Yeah the website is a total mess. First visual I see is a picture of Andy Rubin (???). Anyway, AFAICT, it's an android phone made from titanium and has some cool looking attachments.

Is there enough money in $750 Android phones like this? I would imagine this is a commodified market.
There are no potential performance hits. In particular the code generated for list comprehensions would be faster than your example because there is no extra function call per item.
Brilliant! I totally forgot about boot2docker. I remember it from when the Docker tooling on macOS was rough.

I didn't notice the docker client was in the ports tree. I may have to give this a go later this week.
Ok, a new phone made by the creator of Android which claims to be extremely well built.

However, since most phones now tend to reach the "good enough" level, my main question is about software and left unanswered. What version/flavour of Android does it run? How will updates be planned? For how many years will updates be provided? What's the size of the security team at Essential?

Providing an up-to-date Android with updates for at least 4 years like Apple does is key to me, as vulnerabilities come and go and the only reasonable way to be secure is to get security patches asap.
Is this similar to RTMFP / P2P Multicast?

(which adobe flash supported since ~2008 -_-, it's great to see some opensource competition in the "HTML5" field)
1.1x faster navigation-UX by the way.
It's capped at 10000 threads (configurable). Note that Go uses asynchronous I/O where possible.
I think there's interest because people are starting to communicate (express emotions, ideas, thoughts, etc) with each other using gifs/media more and more. Having a service that categorizes and easily serves this method of complex communication could be of interest. I'm not saying 600m, but that's my line of thinking.

It's really interesting, and also when I began to feel old. Snapchat filters, the popularity of livestreaming, 50% or more of message stream being gifs, etc.
It's a new phone. The essential differences is that

> the casing is made out of titanium rather than aluminium -- the makers claim this is more resistant to drop damage.

> there are hole-clip attachments near the camera for peripherals (Notably the "360 camera" that they are also selling)

> There are no logos on the phone

I'm not sure if I've missed anything
But you're not going to call or email that you're coming in on X date after being gone for 6 weeks or so with no specified return date?
It's bad culture. For productive environments you need coworkers to trust each other. Frequent office pranks do not foster that.
You do in countries that specialise earlier you wont get into a STEM course at a UK Uni without the relevant GCSE / A Levels.

In the UK you start to specialise at 13/14

I and I bet having a GCSE and A level in Law would help for wanabe lawyers
Very glad to to see the clock speed didn't take a drop for the extra cores however still no ECC is disappointing to say the least.
Hope the product is better than the website....
Network costs I am assuming. Wonder how bad the latency is going be though?
Interesting that the author mostly reads self help books.
Shortcut to the top-rated 'issues':

I bet this phone will not get fast Android updates ;)
>

function f(a, b, c, d)
a = a or 1
b = b or 2
c = c or 3
d = d or 4
end

Compare with:

f = (a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4) -> ...

Also note the latter is correct when you call it as f(false).
What good is healthcare if you have no home and no stability? The problem with reducing poverty is the people trying to reduce it have never been in poverty so all they are doing is guessing, or worse, exploiting.
As I remember it, hot wheels tended to have fixed axles, and matchboxes had a plastic tooth over the axle for suspension. Hot wheels were often faster on tracks, but matchboxes more fun.

A Dark Room stands head and shoulders above others, IMO. It's very aesthetically pleasing, has good story with a twist, and gameplay changes several times while you're progressing.

Nah that bridge that fell of its supports it was the contractors fault honest guv :-)
Talk to the specialist - it's kind of obvious.

Wish I was more determined and following my own advice.
If spying on your users is needed for a company to make money... maybe that company should shut down as obviously their producs/services are not needed on socienty anymore?

I mean, something else really wrong must have happened in core business for this to be an actual issue.
Battery is rather small for Android these days. There's nothing about this phone that would tempt me to trade in my iPhone 7 for this - or any other Android phone for that matter
Boy do I miss the websites of the late 90s. How about you spend another second or two thinking about how your content is structured.
That doesn't surprise me; in Japan there are various Japanese wiki sites, usually with less information than even the Japanese versions of Wikipedia, but still with more articles. Usually they even have comment sections below the articles, which can become quite toxic, at least on certain articles.
Website seemed quite functional for me on my galaxy 7. What were your gripes?
The IWF is a quango, not really nongovernmental as such.
Interesting. So he's started a new company to focus on products that have "play well with others" as a design concept.

I like the idea he's promoting with the phone where all the accessories either magnetically connect or a wireless connection. I hate having to purchase the same things over and over again.
That's more or less how Tor works.
Who cares if the casing is scratch resistant titantium? That case is not the limiting factor for hardware longevity, the non-removal non-user-servicable battery is.
Totally agree with this - this is what Android OEMs, including Google, don't seem to understand. For all we know this guy has the attention span of a fly and will go off and do something else in 6 months.
It's literally the same concept as Apple's Mac Pro website, and there's a picture of a phone you haven't seen before when you open it. How obvious does it need to be?

It would be, but the titanium, full screen and accessory systems are USP's.
There also seems to be a new smart home device in the making, just click on the right icon in the header. Not sure if that's actually new or if I just misclicked...
Nope, that's why it (seems to be) a separate, attachable accessory.
First, every financial institution needs to follow Know Your Customer rules, which means they have to see ID. Secondly, I'm not sure where you got the idea that the UK doesn't follow European data protection rules. It does.
I used it for 6 years controlling a complex experimental apparatus for some physics experiments.

It's great at getting out of your way and letting you focus on the results. It's definitely not a typical programming language.

It's great for integrating off the shelf stuff from any major test equipment company. Flow a couple lines and boxes and you've got a PID circuit. Add a few more and you've got a real time oscilloscope. Add a few more and you have data logging. At some point you need to sit down and restructure to get it maintainable, but people who are good with it design it well from the start.

It fits the test bench and small/mid-size experiment system very well.
I really don't see 'vote for algorithm x' as an option in any democracy.
I think you forgot class here
Thanks, but that's kind of a "shitty zoom". What i was looking for is the smooth Safari/Chrome-like zoom, see my previous comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14439720
The problem with pure computer science is that it isn't even that interesting to the uninitiated. Who the hell wants to grow up to balance binary trees, derive proofs around number theory, and poke and prod at heaps of linear algebra?

Or the other end of the spectrum, where you are a cube-dweller, who shuffles endlessly to Scrum meetings, does email, enter garbage into JIRA, and once in a blue moon gets to write a little code that might possibly be executed as part of some faceless, soulless enterprise monstrosity.
Did not work in Firefox for me, despite allowing all scripts to run. Plus, as a subjective note, I perceived it overall too designy, i.e. more focus on the "coolness" than the information itself.
Seems like a great idea in a space that needs more competition. Apple has a monopoly on designing complete user experiences using technology and I'm tired of it. Can't wait to see where this takes us.

It killed Safari on my MacBook Air. Chrome seemed to perform a bit better. I almost gave up on the website before find a browser that played well with it.
I loved both as a kid. Almost 40 years later I can still remember glimpses of what I was imagining when I moved the gullwing doors up on my favorite car. Lego was great for realizing what I was imagining - Matchbox cars were great for just getting lost in my imagination.

However, the delivery team argues that, as this is not an open API (It is for several partners right now but could rise to 1000+)

The only difference between an "open API" and one with 1000 partners is that the second one won't show you the documentation until after you've already paid. That's a garbage reason to make bad software.

rather than carry out all the separate REST operations

Not sure I'm following what you mean here. There's nothing wrong with having a complex payload (customer + quote + proposal) if that's a meaningful operation for your domain.
This is still more combersome yet less precise than a straight greater-than check.
On desktop Safari I can see only the top menu. The rest of the page is blank. Works well on Chrome.

اجتناب از ایجاد شهرک پتروشیمی در جزیره کیش
برنامه های شرکت ملی صنایع پتروشیمی، برای توسعه شهرک های پتروشیمی اینطور اعلام کرده بود که شهرک های پتروشیمی در حال افزایش است و غیر از دو منطقه عسلویه و ماهشهر، در منطقه پارسیان کنرعسلویه، چابهار، جاسک، قشم و کیش برنامه هایی برای توسعه شهرک های پتروشیمی وجود دارد. در این راستا مدیر عامل سازمان منطقه آزاد کیش بر اجتناب از ایجاد شهرک پتروشیمی در این منطقه با هدف حفظ محیط زیست این جزیره تاکید کرد.

به گزارش خبرگزاری صداوسیما به نقل از روابط عمومی و امور بین الملل سازمان منطقه آزاد کیش، مونسان با تاکید بر اینکه حفظ محیط زیست جزیره کیش از مهم ترین اولویت برنامه ریزی برای طرح های عمرانی است گفت: جزیره کیش برای ایجاد شهرک پتروشیمی که مغایر با حفظ محیط زیست این منطقه است برنامه ای در دست اجرا ندارد.

وی تصریح کرد: سازمان منطقه آزاد کیش ضمن حمایت گسترده از فعالان اقتصادی در بخش خصوصی، تنها به سرمایه گذارانی که طرح هایشان در زمینه صنایع های تک و غیر آلاینده باشد اجازه فعالیت می دهد.

لازم به ذکر است رونق سرمایه گذاری و افزایش شمار شرکت های تولید کننده قطعات و تجهیزات چاه ها و سکوهای نفتی در جزیره کیش و همجواری با این سکوها سبب شده است این منطقه آزاد تجاری – صنعتی با فراهم کردن زمینه فعالیت شرکت های ارائه دهنده خدمات پشتیبانی و مهندسی سکوهای نفتی به یکی از قطب های مهم عملیات لجستیکی و پشتیبانی سکوهای نفتی در خلیج فارس تبدیل شود.

A company in the Netherlands sometimes hires me to help them guide the interns. They are what is called a learning-company over here.

Out of the 100 IT interns every year there are usually about 5 that know more than only the basics. This has been a consistent pattern I've seen over the last 4 years. It does not matter what level education they are having. Many times I even had to explain what functions, conditions etc. are while they somehow still managed to get average grades for classes that require this knowledge.

I really do not understand how so many people manage to fool almost everyone for so long. It usually ends up being the case that I (because I get hired to guide them) or the about 5 good interns that are there do most of the work for them. Of course some of them still manage to setup a Wordpress website or write some simple HTML. Just enough to impress the company owners.

Another consistent pattern (as mentioned before) is that very often their end-goal is to become an IT-manager. These are usually the better talkers.

Of course this is all anecdotal, but I've asked many other people that guide IT interns and they noticed the same thing. Probably something that can be researched.

Now I may seem like the one that thinks very highly of himself (by reading my own text I can understand why it may look like this) and this is exactly what makes this difficult to explain to the company owners when I notified them about this. They just do not believe the 5 to 100 ratio and think I've some difficulty accepting people.
I'm curious what people here think of Agent Based Modelling.
London used to be the seaport of England (before railways outsourced this to Southampton); whence do you consider the name Docklands (the huge area downriver of the Tower)? The rest is just nitpicking ("modern Piraeus is not part of Athens") and moving the goalposts (first it's "historic capitals", now it doesn't matter because Istanbul is not a de-iure capital at present, even though it de-facto is? Plus, there's a major stretch of history between Constantinople and present day)
I can understand a strong emphasis on quality for an air traffic control system and am glad that there was more weight put on getting out quality code than meeting a deadline (especially with some companies interpretations of DevOps/CI/CD). I'm curious what sort of defect penetration did you get once you got to the test bench?

I've had lines of code go through walk-throughs, inspections, paired programming, the works, and still end up failing somewhere down the line in integration testing.
Perhaps the compiler could be optimized using deep learning. Isn't basically the problem that it has to go through a search space that's too large to find an ideal solution?

Yes this sounds more probable.
This is the first paragraph that shows up when seeing the site in mobile safari:

> I know people are going to ask me a lot of questions about why I started this company. Why didn’t I just travel the world, ride my motorcycle, tinker with my robots, hang out at my bakery with friends and family. And to be honest I still do ask myself that sometimes…but not too often.

1. Maybe I'm not geeky enough, but I don't know who you are

2. I don't care who you are

3. What are you selling? A phone?

4. Oh screw this, I don't care enough to read past that pompous nonsense...

Oh well.
The really sad thing is, that as simple as most of the CRUD shit that we're slaving away at all day is, it is beyond the capacities of perhaps 30-40% of the populace - and I'm being generous in that estimation. You get out there in the world, and there are a lot of very, very limited people out there.

If you've got an 85 IQ and memory deficits, it's going to be a real struggle to even be productive slapping together static HTML pages.

Which one is the bigger or more urgent threat? You say it's climate change but that's not expected to cause much harm for another 50-100 years, and even then not civilization-destroying harm. AI, on the other hand, it's more uncertain. What if most jobs are automated and people everywhere turn to violence to keep themselves occupied?
Huh? Works for me (FF 53 on Arch Linux). I have uMatrix set to allow only first-party JS by default, but they play nice and serve all JS from the same domain (essential.com)

I still find the website overdesigned, of course, but the technical execution worked perfectly for me.
I guess it's only difficult for foreigners, while for the Finns it's obvious.
Isn't entertainment reason enough? And the problem they are solving is to allow others to send memes that are unique and funny or otherwise entertaining given a simple search string.

It's not sending someone to the moon, but it's also not worthless. The system itself would benefit from hard technical solutions as well. Facial recognition in gifs; understanding context in a picture... you may see it as a waste, but it may also lead to discovery some new CS techniques for these things.

I'm not necessarily saying they can show a value of 600m, but I would just dismiss the whole idea either.
Uh, you are almost 20 version worth of security updates behind.
(a) It is one of the worst abuses of parallax scrolling. Everything is moving about in a chaotic, flickering fashion with far too many sections. And you have text blocks always covering the images.

(b) It is showing four products on the one page. Four. And seemingly jumping between them.

(c) Almost all of the text is very hard to read. It's light grey on dark grey. Dark grey on light grey.

(d) It doesn't even render at all on Safari/OSX.

To be fair, all phones look basically the same. Not saying that there aren't differences, but most phones are difficult to tell apart at first glance.
Yes it was a bug in the embedded software as I recall - the testing did not make it squaddie proof.

I started out in the very early 80's and first job was a Electrical company government job. First week was an introduction to COBOL (which I already knew) and second week was an introduction to GCOS (which I also already knew).

One of the challenges in the second week was to come up with as many ways of copying a file using the GCOS8 (Honeywell Bull DPS8) shell. Now on GCOS the current workfil was called SRC, so one example was to use that, now one of the other `students` came over and accused me of copying another chaps work, I laughed and so did the chap in question who knew me very well. We thought nothing of it. Later when it was show and tell this chap who had accused me of copying somebody else's work had a glaring error in his work. He had used MTW instead of *SRC. Now this chap was called Martin and had accused me of copying from Steven, who's initials happened to be...SRC.

Sadly this Martin chap ended up getting the best position, turns out he had schmoozed the head guy with BBC micro talk and as he had one, they had a good chat about that and the whole aspect that he was not that good just got overlooked.

Moral being, if your a good person and honest, you do get shafted on from time to time.
They have a search API with a public key https://github.com/Giphy/GiphyAPI with limits. I used it in one of my apps. Pretty cool stuff.
