On RHEL 6 I count eight different packages implementing the MPI standard -- multiple versions of three implementations of essentially the same API -- which can be installed together. The richness is that dependencies are not generally simply on packages; MPI packages provide things like "mpi", "openmpi(x86-64) = 1.10.3-3.el7", "libmpi.so.12", and config(openmpi) = 1.10.3-3.el7".

My Guix installation runs using a with privileged access to the store, and Nix is the same as far as I know. I don't know why Nix would be a particular advantage on our HPC networked filesystems, and it's not clear it's tenable for users to be able to DoS the store by installing an arbitrary amount of software in limited shared space.

It may well be that Nix makes the right set of trades-off against other possibilities for a given situation, but thta seems at least not completely clear cut.

>One can't just look at revenue, debt and Moody's rating of guitar makers and dealers and proclaim the guitar, the most popular instrument today by a huge margin, is dying.

The "most popular instrument today" is misleading, considering modern R&B, Hip Hop (and to a lesser degree) EDM dominate everything charts and sales wise, and they use mostly computer DAWs and plugins, something that wont register in "instrument sales" lists or music schools.
Ahhhhh this is a great point!

>I don't listen to much electronic music, but I find no subtleties or sensitivity in what I hear.

Probably because you don't listen much.

There are subtleties in electronic music pieces that go several levels beyond jazz even -- in timbre, rhythm, harmony etc. Compared to something like 70s rock, there's no contest even.

You wont find those in EDM charts though.
Talk about your slippery slopes.
I'm not convinced by your argument with regard to the multitude of choices. A counter point could be that we should be more likely to have at least something in common with more people. Somebody must be consuming mass-media, problem the masses.

I think a better theory to support your point is that we tend to be less religious and therefore less community oriented. I don't really know if that holds up though. We have to be careful about romanticising the past, so yes longitudinal data and cultural comparisons would make these data more informative.

> How do we design technologies to help connect people in the real world and alleviate the problems?

Isn't the answer to this "Social Networks"? The market has spoken, Facebook is King. Every time there's conversations about the ills of Facebook there's always people pointing out that Facebook makes organising events a lot easier. That's definitely something I miss since getting off Facebook and moving to a new city.
Maybe because they'v been releasing desktop apps for all the previous versions, and doing an Electron app could make users more comfortable with it.

Can you link to any posted-later videos of landings? They pretty consistently either drop frames or cut out entirely on the live stream around the moment of touchdown, so it'd be great to see decent quality footage of some landings.
FYI: except on very wide screens that landing page copy is barely readable over the background image, and with a narrow window it's also obscured by the header and navigation.
Something to bear in mind: when you use one spam filter for a while, it learns the sort of spam you get and will do a better job. When you switch to a new provider with a new spam filter, you have to train the new spam filter before it can be as good as the provider you left. (FastMail enables personal spam filters for improved results when it gets to 200 spam and 200 non-spam messages.)

Some find FastMail’s spam filtering better than Gmail’s, some worse.

The USA is at the bottom of the slippery slope, has landed on it's arse and now rapidly sinks deeper in to the quagmire.

For example, in 2010 the ACLU sued on behalf of a man who was abusively interrogated, handcuffed, and detained for nearly five hours because he was carrying a set of Arabic-language flash cards and a book critical of U.S. foreign policy. We also know that the DHS database known as the “Automated Targeting System,” which tracks information on international travelers, has included notations in travelers’ permanent files about controversial books in their possession.

Do your co-workers count as friends? Then it's actually pretty good. If not - that's a change you can make without even changing your lifestyle.
I agree with most of what you wrote, but for one aspect that's easy to overlook.

Easy access to information is not always better. A number of reasons: information had easily isn't valued; information that requires effort teaches determination and self sufficiency that will always be required when you get to the limit of easily available info; an abundance of info can be daunting (information overload) and demoralising. Finally, there's less sense of achievement when you e.g. read about something rather than figure it out, and a lower probability of innovation from not knowing the current "best practices".

I still think easy access is better, but mostly because I'm grown up with hard won learning skills. I'm less certain that easy access develops the right kinds of skills. Primarily because not everyone is a genius with exceptional talent; some of us need skills too.
There's always a lot of hate for anything Electron, so I'll just pipe up and say I am happier that they provide it as an offline app rather than having it online and needing me to have a tab in Chrome open. I know Electron isn't perfect but for regular users (those outside of the HN sphere) I don't think they really think about this much.

Pencil is a small enough project (10 contributors on Github) - I doubt they have resources (time or money) available to put web infrastructure behind it and maintain that - which would be a major distraction from their real goal.

I'm disappointed - this isn't actually text-to-speech in Python, it's text-to-speech in C++ (or Objective-C in one case) with a Python wrapper over the top.

An actual Python TTS engine would have been cool as an introduction to how the algorithms work without needing to learn C++. The performance would always be lacking but that'd not really matter for an introduction.
I could get on board with that if that's the way it worked. Here's hoping to that becoming the reality!
<I think it's a bit naive to believe that guitar heroes can bring the interest for the guitar back.>

Isn't it the heroes in any field that inspire others to take it up? Or are you saying that there can never be another guitar hero again who will be good enough to inspire another generation? That would be naive, wouldn't it, considering how awesome the electric guitar is?
Sure that works. I lost 10 kg only drinking beer (2-3 months because everyone said beer was the fat cause which it is not; it is a combination); losing weight is hard but not if you have the power to cut something out you normally do eat.

Just do not eat as much. I eat half a pizza instead of a whole one (If I do what my mind wants I eat 3-4 napolitana pizzas in a go; I eat half of one now), drink less etc and it works. Unfortunately I love food so on culinary trips the flesh is weak, but I lose it quickly by eating varied and little.

Also, perhaps the title is a bit of a flame-bait. Sci-hub does not facilitate scientific research piracy - whatever that means.

Depending on your PoV on research publication subscriptions, it may be piracy of copyrighted research publications.

That said, sci-hub is a boon. If there were a legal fund that was raised to defend the founder, I'd contribute. Elsevier is, IMO, displaying remarkably egregious rent seeking behaviour that makes the cable and wireless companies look tame.
I highly recommend Packet.net instead of Scaleway if you care for bare metal or ARM. Their storage is local by default, which makes a huge difference in operational stability. In addition, their staff is super helpful.

As far as ARMv8, and Erlang go, I would suggest you not bother. At least in casual testing, I found P99 latency to be massively higher than the equivalent x86. BEAM just doesn't seem to want to do a massive number of schedulers well.
My theory assumes as a presupposition that people are only likely to travel a certain distance to see others, since time is a scarce and non-renewable resource.

If interests are fragmented, the number of people we both share interests with and are friends with within a given radius becomes smaller.

Facebook might help a bit for organizing events and maintaining existing ties but it also contributes to the dopamine rush above.

Some sort of ways to connect new people with one another within a local area could be helpful. I found Meetup interesting and useful but could be improved upon. I used to attend some events organized by WeWork and those felt more energized but still no real friendships emerged.

The only thing that really helped make new long-term friends for me was sharing a co-working space with people who had some interests in common.
Doesn't sound like it to me... I don't consider it a bug. I don't think it's even solvable in general. In fact I think GCC is being quite generous in going out of its way to report things so nicely already.

Reform? People won't vote to make them poorer. So, either keep the Ponzi scheme going or democracy must go, since it will be some strongman stand up and stop paying pensioners that much.

Here's another example:

Test code:

#include <memory>

int main()

{

std::unique_ptr<int> pPointer = std::make_unique<int>();
return 0;

}

Here's the GCC output (v4.9.2) with C++14:

geezerjay@debian:tmp$ g++ --std=c++14 main.c++

geezerjay@debian:tmp$

And now the GCC output with C++11:

geezerjay@debian:tmp$ g++ --std=c++14 main.c++

main.c++: In function ‘int main()’:

main.c++:5:34: error: ‘make_unique’ is not a member of ‘std’
std::unique_ptr<int> pPointer = std::make_unique<int>();

^

main.c++:5:51: error: expected primary-expression before ‘int’

std::unique_ptr<int> pPointer = std::make_unique<int>();

geezerjay@debian:tmp$

Perhaps recent GCC versions catch this issue, but errors are indeed thrown if make_unique, a C++14 feature, is present while compiling C++11 code.

At a certain point it becomes a national security risk. And we have to choose, money or security. Until our overall cybersecuirty improves I vote against the profit incentive.

Well ... there it is, if there was a threshold to past between "security" and overreaching destruction of freedoms, it's been passed.

How many people in the electronic genre could play Bach ? I mind no medium, no genre, nothing at all. If you give me something musical, even tapping on bamboo, or an old DX7 (see this demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3rrjQtQe5A, the pianos samples are dense, and the harmonies aren't dull) synth, I'd welcome it.

The link you gave are not bad, but they lack soul, feel, weight. It's a common thing in electronic music, sampled drumbeats, tiny vocals, steady and fragile melodic rhythm.

I don't think so. Your body works hard to maintain stasis.
Japan's cultural uniqueness is mostly a romantic myth. People act as if the Sakoku period was the norm for Japan and not an exception, but Japan has been just as susceptible to cultural influence as any other country. Much of that "unique culture" was adapted from China, much more of it from the West. That's not in any way calling it illegitimate, a lot of Western countries borrow from one another (or impose cultural change through violence) or crib from the ancient Greeks or Romans. The process of cultural admixture and transformation through trade, religion and violence is the same everywhere. Westerners just seem to ignore the phenomenon as it relates to Japan, I suspect, to maintain some sense of exoticism about the place.

Japan would lose its ethnic homogeneity, but to me that's not something worth caring about or mourning the loss of. The culture would change, but culture always changes.
Would you mind providing some background to that story? It seems obdev is based in Vienna, Austria. What request was there? And why would they need to battle it (rather than toss it into a paper bin)? It doesn't seem like there would be any legal channel for the NSA to compel them to do anything.
Send me names, I'd gladly feed my ears with beyond jazz subtleties. I'm all for the musical experience, as long as it's well done.

But to the point, the thread is about mainstream guitar playing going away. So I was talking about mainstream electro. Surely there are deeply satisfying electronic music out there if you dig.
As fragmented as the music world is now, there is still capacity for a groundswell movement I believe.

In keeping with the 'guitar sales are dying' theme - back in the 80's Fender Jazzmasters, Jaguars and Mustangs were pariah guitars. They were nothing more than the oddly shaped relics from the 'surf music' craze of the 50's and 60's.

Then Kurt Cobain played one on stage in the 90's. And not played like a guitar god either, but all of a sudden, the Jaguar and Mustang offset shaped guitars exploded into popularity again, across more than just grunge bands. My son I mentioned above actually plays a J Mascis Jazzmaster as his main stage electric guitar.

On another note, I really wish I could find the thread on a popular guitar forum that I participated in about 7 or 8 years ago. Back then I predicted that the vinyl market would have a small, if temporary blip again. This was before the whole Hipster fad became mainstream too. I was literally laughed out of that thread by other members claiming, similarly as you did in your reply, that vinyl was about as relevant as be-bop or spandex clad lead singers in music.

Well, we are sitting in the middle of a vinyl resurgence right now. It will never reach the numbers of the heady days, but there definitely is a renewed interest out there. I couldn't believe it last month when I went to my local electronics and whitegoods store and there were as many turntables in the HiFi section as boom boxes and bluetooth speaker systems.

The format strings have to be localized data in any case, because they usually contain literal text, not just placeholders. The real problem here is that you need to change the order of arguments in a printf call - if the string changes from %s%d to %d%s, the order of arguments in the call must change, as well.

If you're on POSIX, you can use positional arguments for that:

printf("%1$d %2$s", d, s);
printf("%2$s %1$d", d, s);

Because it's not standard C, VC++ does not support it directly in printf, but it offers _printf_p with such support, and you can always #define printf _printf_p.

> people who have strong family ties and closer and enduring friendships and sense of community live longer healthier lives than their lonely counterparts and are more productive at work and in their own pursuits.

You need to stop perpetuating this false idea that you can live a truly happy and healthy life without working hard.

Many middle and lower class individuals are using this as an excuse to justify "Oh I don't work a lot and don't have as much money as the guy driving a Tesla, but it's okay, I'm having fun in life."

Yet, these same individuals wish they could afford world travel and explore new cultures. They wish they had enough money to eat raw fish and fresh salads to improve their health. They wish they could buy an electric vehicle to help the environment. They wish they could have a more intellectually stimulating job instead of retail or as a restaurant waiters. No matter how you slice and dice it, work, ultimately leading to money, buys happiness; but only enough happiness to be happier than average. Even in Norway.
