Javascript is fine, but as you already know, everybody wants to use his/her language of choice. And, more importantly, everybody should be able to choose the right language for the specific task.

What could happen, with WebAssembly, is the opposite: A wane in Javascript's popularity.
I just stared an internship at Bell Labs Murray Hill. Growing up in Holmdel, I've been a fan of Bell Labs since childhood and feel so happy to be working here. The atmosphere and energy from all the amazing achievements is really palpable.

Word is the acquisition of Alcatel Lucent by Nokia has really put Bell Labs back into the public spotlight. Excited to see what the future holds and I hope I can still be a part of it!
I'm not expert on hypervisors but is what you're saying even possible? One would think that dispatching the correct packets to the correct VM would be an integral part of the virtualization environment.

Now I get it. I'm not for it but I get it.
macOS comes with Python 2 by default.
[1 0] and [0 1] are both eigenvectors of the identity matrix, yet not on the same line.

I highly recommend http://www.axler.net/DwD.html for developing a good intuition about what eigenvalues and eigenvectors actually are.
Search bar - to search by criteria for instance, or tags?
Not relevant to your product, but that's the sweetest thing I've read since a long time on HN. Good luck!
Can you explain your use case? I know a lot of businesses solely using us-east-1
How long is your commute?
I didn't mean to insult others' tastes, and I'm sorry if I came across that way - I'm all for enjoying whatever palette of genres you like. But if your primary interest is character, surely you would want books written with that in mind. And if a book is primarily about its characters, why would that book be written as SF?
> I sit at a desk and browse the internet for most part, but it's hardly the peak of job satisfaction.

Oh, good. I thought I was alone. Or undervalued.
Sounds like an opportunity for a person with a domain expertise could make a good living doing this for companies.

We had, at lockheed, hired a contracting company that would receive all our corp cell bills, go through them and go after the carriers for errors and savings and they just kept a percentage of the savings that we made from their efforts... it worked out well for both parties.
"The Times analysis found that among the largest police departments in each of those four states, black drivers were between 1.5 and 5.2 times more likely to have their cars searched than white drivers. These searches occur with the consent of the driver, so the officer doesn't need to meet any legal standard, like probable cause, to initiate one. [...] More recent figures from 2014 and 2015 published by the New York Times show blacks who are searched are around 20 percent less likely to be carrying contraband than whites who are searched. "

Nevermind that. Go down the rabbit hole that is COINTEL and realize that thinking that you can really know or trust anything you think you know is futile. The tactics have been used in the past and there is no reason they wouldn't still be in use: they work.

Bonus points? Any mention of possible COINTEL tactic gets you labeled a conspiracy theorist. A lovely term invented by the CIA that readily dismisses anyone who points out that a COINTEL tactic might be in use. Lucky for them most the general public bought it hook, line, and sinker.

I take the train which is 78-80 minutes, but all told it takes 2 hours door to door.
> Likewise, there is popular code that is quite bad or mediocre regardless of number of contributors.

Like what? If you're looking for a JavaScript library for example, you can't really go wrong picking one that has many contributors, an active issue tracker, thousands of stars, lots of forks etc. Unless it's some core part of your stack, I don't see how it's practical to spend a lot of time hunting down super well implemented libraries that aren't likely to be supported in the future because nobody uses them.

> To rephrase: PHP is the most widely used server-side scripting language on the web. That does not make it good.

I'm not a huge fan of PHP but you can still write good software in it.

Libraries are relatively easy to swap out compared to say operating systems and programming languages. Personally I find many of the best libraries tend to be the most popular ones.
Yes, of course she did. I'm disputing the end of your remark, not the beginning.
No. It is the pride of independence. I can provide, rather than being a dependent.

It is literally being the one who has the power to make your family's life better, rather than being one of the powerless. Being able to provide your daughter with a better school, your mother with better health care, your family with a better place to live, feels to some the way "changing the world" feels to others.
Plenty. Nytimes likes profiling extremes and making them look normal.
Socializing may happen at all levels, for example if the candidate is taken out to lunch. In that context the information may come out.

The big problem is that the margin of error for judging an individual case on such factors is enormous. If the CEO is a guy and has daughters then there's a 16% chance he will treat his female employees better, or close the wage gap by 3%, than he did before having daughters. If not, then... what? The stat is only applicable to "CEOs that have daughters"... how do you compare with other kids of CEOs? If you are not careful, your brain will start filling in the gaps, creating false correlations, and worse yet, feel encouraged to look for or come up for more, even less substantiated correlations. It's a very slippery slope.

Or maybe I'm only saying all this because a long time ago, I thought the fact that my future CEO liked to play the violin meant he cared about the art we were going to produce. You won't believe what happened next! ;)
I posited that laws should be reviewed after X years and if there was not a compelling reason (with proof) to continue them then they would lapse. This would hopefully ensure that only really useful laws would even be bothered to be created.

California with its props is a whole other ball of wax... :-)
Congrats. I grew up new HP Labs and felt the same way when I was an intern there over 10 years ago. :)
I know how you feel, it's my first thought as well. But then I realise that I'm doing this anyway - I put appointments in my diary to call my grandparents, I have todo lists for things to do with my wife, and I record promises I've made to friends so I don't forget. Having it all in one place sounds like a nice idea.
Isnt this what facebook does? Except facebook is actually way more fun to use. Sure - they take all my information and sell it to the highest bidder. But I get cool "personalized videos" in return, for example. And all my friends are already on there - so they can do most of the CRM data input for me.
The philosophical grounding is the same. If the progressive left were wholly on the side of right, they wouldn't have to throw things like free speech under the bus, or vilify things like the values of the founders of the US. Authoritarians like that would rule by force and shame rather than the consent of the governed. Many under the "progressive" flag have dehumanized their opponents in their hearts, and so have lost the true philosophical grounding of justice.
Can Cities Hack Diversity?
Sure, businesses like working software right now and documentation never. And especially not proof or good design. Pile of technical debt accumulates.

They do not like interactions nor individuals at all. Too unreliable. They prefer processes but in so doing force bad processes and separation of concerns that prevents in depth solutions.

Responding to change without vision
causes random changes slowing work down and preventing important ones (churn).

It's a feel-good piece for the wealthy that ignores huge swaths of evidence. Also, the author is the former policy coordinator for Trump's campaign.
Oh and in my empty nester scenario earlier they could be as young as 40 and as old as 70+ so not all would qualify.

You definitely taught me something new though!

That of course depends if you count msvcrt as part of windows or not. I mean the fundamental interface, GetCommandLine, arguably works quite sanely in Windows, the crazy bits come from userland.
Do motor problems lie behind autism's social difficulties?
Could be hard to teach, could be hard to
make someone learn (I feel like it's the latter)

I don't really see the difference between these, at least from a practical perspective. I guess my point is that you can't make someone learn critical thinking. I definitely wasn't trying to say that the problem is professors being bad at critical thinking; that hardly enters the equation. :)
This is exactly what I don't want this product to become: Facebook. Facebook is social. Monica is NOT social. It's only for you. It's like your personal diary, except online. It's made to store things that shouldn't be seen by anyone. It's to manage YOUR personal relationships. It has nothing to do with a social community.
You make your xmas hotel reservations on January 8? :) That's thinking ahead...
Why would you need to use the refrigerant itself for heat transfer from end users? Couldn't you just use water for that; like they do for central heating? (E.g. Chill water using centralized AC, then pump the cold water through pipes to cool homes and businesses?)
The difference is that Apple is providing you with tonnes of publicity and easy access through the app store, and is ensuring that your product works with all of their users. They are adding way more value than just convenient payments.
LabVIEW can also target FPGA's. This capability has been around for ~10 years now. Interestingly, LabVIEW and FPGA targets get along quite well, the structure of LabVIEW programs lend themselves to being mapped to an FPGA's HDL (see http://www.ni.com/fpga/)
My initial impression is that this is like netgraph[1] but for Linux ?

As with every headline that poses a yes/no question, the answer is usually "no".

EDIT: I'm also unsure what the point of shifting the focus onto The Intercept's alleged "mishandling" of the leaker's identity is. It seems like a smear job meant to discredit a publication that the natsec community and mainstream media like WaPo dislike. It also removes the focus from the substance of the leaks and puts it on the "character" of the publication.
> However, javascript is an increasingly popular language everywhere. I'm not sure people will want to move away from it for most development.

You'd be wrong, many people would love to move away from to something better. There are many better languages than JS and we'd like to not be limited to one shitty quirky hastily designed language in the browser.
yea headless for CI!
I am very excited by this project, it opens up a lot of possibilities. Finally we can use our users' web browsers to the maximum potential, in the language of choice.

Consider: If a good javascript engine like V8 can go as far as being able to emulate hardware, how far can we go with something like webassembly?

All the power to Webassembly!
Yes, it is weird. :) It's just a fun idea I've had that requires some kind of 'friends CRM' such as the one you've developed.
That is not enough. Typical agile process is also supposed to keep software easy to change, but instead what you get is pushing a prototype into production even before it is finished in the limited feature set.
I am curious as to why he was incarcerated.
Side story about the 4/5 recommendation, this one for toothpaste: apparently Colgate would just ask dentists to list every type of toothpaste they recommended, and 80% of those doctors wrote down Colgate as an option, thus the "four out of five dentists recommend Colgate" ads.

$75mil Darpa funding for new public-private electronics resurgence initiative
I suspect part of the disconnect is that not all the ex-mil folks I've worked with were coming from support units: overall the military still has a lower percentage of women than software development does, and it was even lower when some of the people I was working with were enlisted. Also, although as a civilian I would never make such generalizations, it does seem that different branches attract different kinds of people.

Military hiring, of taking all comers over certain transparently-published bars and then turfing out bad actors and training the rest, is a strategy I'm not sure any tech company has tried. I've long wanted to compare our interviewing strategies to "random" to see if our screening actually contributing anything to outcomes.

It's not that there is nothing that could be learned, but as a woman I wouldn't use someone's veteran status as signal on whether or not they are likely to be sexist.
Probably Griswold v. Connecticut, which established the derived right to privacy. Justice Douglas cited the Third Amendment (among others) as implying the right to keep one's home free from agents of the state.

That said, this pretty obviously isn't a clear Third Amendment violation. There's virtually no caselaw around the 3rd, and what there is has held it pretty narrowly. The only successful Third Amendment defense I know of was Engblom v. Carey, which was about evicting prison guards to give their housing to National Guard troops.

So - I think they meant "right to privacy", but the 3rd is one of the smallest and least-cited components of that right.
I'm having trouble grokking the results here. If I put in 50 basis points for a seed-funded company it calculates as no return until a $40M exit. I'd like to see the justification for this.
Really?!
Ive always like Ansible/Puppet/file storage. I can quickly boot from ethernet, populate a req key from puppet from ansible, load puppet to the appropriate config needed, and off I go.

No having to dork with servers one at a time. And with Ansible, if I change puppet manifests, I can reload puppet with ansible instead of waiting the default 30m.
But it's also on a phone where saving data transfer can give you huge battery benefits. And it's not intentional waste; having this fallback doesn't stop browsers from adding native decoders.
Those are standard function names in most lin-alg related packages.
There is a train service running from the shore area? From the Atlantic City area? I know there's one out of Trenton.
The commissary right for a prison should probably be a public auction, although that would put more money into the states coffers, not give much lower prices.
Exactly. A graphical representation and a syntactic representation of code will both have text in them. They just have different syntax for equivalent structure.
California is huge, where in CA are you looking to move? If you go to Northern CA then it's mostly white. If you go to San Francisco Bay Area, it's half Asian (Chinese or Indian descent) half white. If you go to LA, it's even more diverse, more ethnicities in tech, a little like NYC.

In terms of women vs "bros" - I'm a bro by the way, your average Joe - I'd google about companies that promote internal communities like "women in tech", "women XYZ", etc. You'd most likely end up in a women friendly environment.

In terms of salaries, same thing. There are a few tech companies that promote equal pay. Just google it.

Also, using the term "harassment" is pretty strong. You make it sound like it's part of the everyday life for women in tech. By that you mean being surrounded by boys who act like boys? There's nothing much you can do here because there are still more males than females in this field, which is unfortunate. Time will help! I hope. Good luck in your search.
I think we agree. I just tried to come up with an explanation as to why this would be suggested.
Yeah I cringed when I read that. Opinions like that are why we have Trump. Why do non white guys get a pass on sexism? The racism of lower expectations is so pervasive of white women in tech it's absolutely disgusting
Yes, or maybe no. It doesn't really matter, because this is just one of many battles being waged in the current cyber-war gripping our lives.

I mean, we have to just see it in the larger context: there is very definitely a war going on among various, nefarious, otherwise, or indeterminate, hostile parties.

It seems that if we must dismantle the military-industrial state, it is going to be through info-wars. The key targets are all secrets. (Curious that both sides seem to want the same thing though, i.e. "the info wants to be free", isn't it?)
Almost never the first incumbent takes over a market a in the end. It is a lie propagated in the same way as all the get rich quick schemes.

Blizzard did not invent the RTS. Nor the hack and slash roguelike.
What they did is produce polished experiences from the outset.
Heck, compare even the silly Overwatch. It is not even close to the first team shooter.
Sure. Quick thought experiment: you've got a 24-bit scanner, which means 2^24 individual values, so 16.8 million. Let's say 2 million of those are yellow. How many different shades of yellow are you going to get from your scan? Do you take the average? Does the process leave artifacts - that is, does it print yellow over yellow and leave a physical trace? My point is you've got to make sure the signal is well below the noise floor because we're talking about the NSA, and there are more sure ways to filter this signal.
I've found that a job that isn't too stressful and is working with cool people is the best. Social interaction is important (at least to me) and it seems to affect how much I lime a job a lot
Not true! ZFS also normalizes. However, while HFS+ normalizes on _create_ (bad), ZFS normalizes on lookup (good).

Specifically, ZFS has a normalization-preserving, normalization-insensitive behavior -- a lot like case-preserving but case-insensitive behavior, but for normalization forms rather than case.

The way this works is that there's a) a string comparison function that can provide normalization- and/or case-insensitive comparisons, b) a character-at-a-time normalization function of sorts used for directory hashing (since ZFS hashes directories).

This is much better than normalizing on create, which is destructive and obnoxious when the form you normalize to is not the more common form and you live in a sea of applications that don't do normalization.
Which leads me to my second favorite thing about nuts: calorie density! That shipment of nuts would have 327 million calories. Assuming you're 30, will live to 100, and eat 2,200 calories per day, you'll only consume 56 million calories in the rest of your life.

That shipment of nuts could be passed down in your survivalist family. First, it would be all the food you ate for the rest of your life. Then, your first child would be born and would start eating the nuts, continuously, until they died at 100 years old. They would have a child - your grandchild, and your grandchild would eat only nuts until THEY turned 100 and died (having a kid along the way.) Your grandchild's first kid would be born (your great-grandchild), start eating nuts the day they were born, have a kid, and die at 100. This final kid, your great-great-grandchild, would eat only nuts for their entire life, slowly whittling down the stockpile that lasted five generations. Eventually your great-great-grandchild would die in this basement, at the age of exactly one hundred years old like their ancestors, surrounded by the remnants of the one single truck of walnuts that their great-great-grandfather stole hundreds of years ago.

Nuts are insanely calorie dense. If you disaster-plan with a more conservative 80 year lifespan, are 30, and eat 2200 calories per day, you'll only consume about 6 metric tons of walnuts for the rest of your life. If you put that in peanut butter, which is (like walnuts) very calorie dense, you'd fit enough calories for the rest of your life into 5.5 cubic meters, roughly the size of a small bathroom.

(Not that the police officer would be likely to know the calorie density of walnuts, of course. Also, I love the pun.)

Koreans and others studying the Talmud are sort of one off rarities. Nearly everyone who studies the Talmud is a Jew doing so for reasons related to religious or cultural identity.
That makes sense. Definitely. I bet most people outside of hacker news have no idea of what a CRM is.
How do I profile myself as a programmer?
I'm currently unemployed. I think I'm a pretty good programmer - I practice a lot, I pay attention to detail, I rewrite my programs to be tidy and strive to learn more about programming, I enjoy analytical thinking and finding creative solutions. However, I feel my weakness may be relatively slow work speed. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, too.

For example at school I had a reputation for solving math problems slower but with fewer errors. Modern workplace puts emphasis on deadlines, shipping the product, and job interviews often involve a timed challenge. I had a job as a programmer once, but I never worked in a team and couldn't compare myself to others. I absolutely don't mention "slow work speed" at job interviews, I don't know how I could convincingly say it's an advantage.

How do I find out if I take too much time to write programs ? What can I do to improve my work speed except keep practicing ?

That is arguably a violation of the 13th admentment:

>Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Unless the work was part of the sentence (which I think is totally fair, as a term of restitution) I don't see how what they did was legal. You might want to talk to the ACLU.
