Why is this a problem? You may not work in the same environment as other people. That doesn't make them necessarily have some "underlying problem."

I think people fear that the heavy hand of the state - or employers wielding powerful economic incentives - will come down on alcohol as it did on tobacco. Once something is declared "unhealthy" there is strong pressure to eliminate it, as health and productivity are the twin goods of modern society. I'm a nonsmoker, but I feel for that group of smokers (mostly pipe and cigar afficionados) that have had one of their major pleasures curtailed.
Try reading the samples that come with the predominantly used programming library/framework. Works with pretty much everything. I know a thing or two about statistics because I study R examples at night. I know a decent chunk of winapi and windows ipc because of delphi, I know some CV because I studied samples from opencv and tried to solve problems with it, etc.
At my job, I always feel like it's frowned upon to take a nap. In most cases we're a "as long as you get your work done, we can be flexible with hours" kind of shop. But the moment I close my eyes even for just a few short moments, someone either taps me or later mentions "man, you look exhausted, are you okay?"

Power naps make me feel more refreshed, which I'd assume people would want out of their coworker/employee late in the work day, but maybe I'm wrong.
This is from the operator of a coding school. They have an interesting payment plan. "There is no upfront cost to join Holberton school. We only charge 17% of your internship earnings and 17% of your salary over 3 years once you find a job." That's more interesting than anything in the article. The school takes the financial risk on students not getting a job. This is the reverse of most for-profit education, which relies on loans and doesn't guarantee a job.

I wonder how this is working out for Holberton School.
"Google has systematically given prominent placement to its own comparison shopping service: when a consumer enters a query into the Google search engine in relation to which Google's comparison shopping service wants to show results, these are displayed at or near the top of the search results.

Google has demoted rival comparison shopping services in its search results: rival comparison shopping services appear in Google's search results on the basis of Google's generic search algorithms. Google has included a number of criteria in these algorithms, as a result of which rival comparison shopping services are demoted. Evidence shows that even the most highly ranked rival service appears on average only on page four of Google's search results, and others appear even further down. Google's own comparison shopping service is not subject to Google's generic search algorithms, including such demotions."

But then why not just go home three hours early, when you work that time later in the day? A short bike ride or walk in the forest could do more for you than napping and then making more hours at work.

You seem to be conflating BMI with breast size? While that's true to some extent, you'd have to control for obesity. Breasts are made up of milk glands surrounded by fat, and the varying ratio of milk gland to fat is why overall breast size doesn't correlate well with milk production.

My theory still works if initially, female pre-humans with larger milk glands were able to better feed their young and so had higher survival rates, while male pre-humans evolved to prefer larger milk glands. After a point, runaway sexual selection caused breast size to increase independently from the pressure on milk production.
A C++ Developer Looks at Go: Modularity and Object Orientation
The engine is not sandboxed. I will speak only for the Windows product though, because this is the only one I looked at in detail. (But the Linux engine is not sandboxed either).

This is X86 code [1] running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Hence, successful exploitation for arbitrary remote code execution (as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) only requires circumventing the stack canary.

As mentioned in footnote 6 of the article, they seem to use Control Flow Guard (CFG) on the latest Windows platforms. However, just as the stack canary, this is only a mitigation. It does not make exploitation impossible, it just makes it a bit harder.

[1] In the article, I present a pseudocode version of the relevant function. If you are interested in the actual X86 instructions, you might want to look at footnote 4 of the article.

Hey HN!
I'm one of the two developers behind Hackerhunt. As much as I love Hacker News and it's ranking algorithm for the front page news, it has a downside for the Show HN submissions. A lot of cool and useful stuff people have actually made themselves gets lost in /shownew without a real chance to get to the right audience. That's where the idea of a curated and categorised, à-la-Product-hunt, list was born.

This is a very early proof of concept and any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!
But it's not normal for adults to sleep so badly that you need naps during the day, apart from having very young kids. So other than that I'd say there may well be an underlying problem.
Often it is not that simple to change JVM, especially if your application is very fine tuned for a specific GC. In such case, is it always worth to spend hundreds of work hours for migration (and testing it afterwards)? Other aspect is the technical support or other legal/contract bindings.

Besides, I wasn't asking for "magic compiler optimizations". I would prefer to use intrinsics directly. Is there a way to do that in Java?

Google News has been the first page of any news media for me for last several years. I have relied on the the summery of the news under the headlines to consider whether to go to the news details or skip to the next news. And this latest redesign removes that summery. I can't think of any reason to using it as the first source of news any longer, unless Google decides to revert to last design.

As most people mentioned, the issue in C/C++ is aliasing hence why the compiler cannot safely generate SIMD instructions. However, having worked in scientific computing for a few years on CFD solvers (written in C++), I have seen a very large advancement in what the compiler can do ( Intel compilers especially ). Our approach is to use OpenMP 4.0 directives as they also give you data scoping and alignment clauses. It's probably the best of both worlds where there is some much needed input from the programmer and then the compiler takes care of the rest. On our benchmark, a compute bound kernel would perform perhaps 10% better with hand tuned intrinsics vs the autovectorized version via OpenMP. And that is mostly because it removes some intermediary loads and stores when using short vectors in the autovectorized version which are usually done from a higher level cache anyway. In terms of portability, well, you can see why going for the OpenMP version is the safer bet. One important aspect to take into account is that for efficient autovectorization, you need to rewrite a lot of your kernels to use a vector programming paradigm (basically use short vectors of SIMD size -- which can be changed at compile time depending on uarch ) and trust me, then the compiler will be in its comfort zone. I've seen the compiler generate as good instructions for conditional branching as with hand tuned intrinsics ( AVX/AVX2 and AVX512 ). It can also do transposition from an AoS data structures to SoA in flight however our hand tuned kernels still outperform these since we know to use the lower latency instructions. From a performance perspective, without SIMD, we lose on average 2-3X in our simulation turn around time but getting our whole solver vectorized was a pretty mammoth task.

Your balloon would have to be about twice as large to compensate for the higher density of methane (.656, according to google)

I also am not sure that would be much safer than using hydrogen. Methane ignites a bit harder and would initially burn a lot slower (hydrogen has a much higher upper explosive limit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_limit), so it would need to disperse more for the gas at the center of the balloon to ignite), but _any_ fire near the surface of the balloon eventually would be catastrophic, and putting fire extinguishers everywhere isn't an option because of their weight, in combination with the huge area of your balloon)
It's even worse than that. Alien Blue was by far the best Reddit client I've used. They bought it and for some reason then went on to build the worst Reddit client I've used.

Quite a shame because even though I've found other apps that do a good job, I still miss Alien Blue.

Anyone know why they'd do this?
I've been wondering what the best way to implement SIMD in a JITless language was. While I'm a big proponent of static compilation (coding mostly in Go), this runtime inflexibility is a bit painful. Sure, you could compile multiple version, check the CPU and deliver the correct methods on runtime... but, that's not quite right.

Another issue is how you code it up - both in terms of delivering multiple versions depending on CPU support and in terms of shielding the developer from low-level assembly. I'm all for high level APIs (think `sum(a vec, b vec)`) that get compiled down to whatever is supported, but I haven't seen many good examples of this.
Being devil's advocate here for a moment... Surely ensuring that the text shown on screen is easily readable for the audience (especially so for exposition props such as newspapers), outweighs the need to be temporally correct with the typeface?
(1) Yes, that's the argument against the RSA key exchange. I can break into your server, bribe or blackmail your system administrators, or take you to court to get your private key. This last case happened to Lavabit, for example.

Handshake integrity validation is always done, no matter which key exchange is used, and with effectively throw-away keys. So there's nothing there to protect long-term; those keys are going to disappear after the TLS session is complete.

The key difference with the RSA key exchange is that it forever leaves behind a piece of data encrypted with the private key (that can be recovered). Other key exchange methods use signatures, which have no value once the TLS session is complete.

(2) Public cryptography is not well suited for dealing with high volumes of data. Abstracting a little bit, handshake integrity is done via a HMAC, using keys that are negotiated for each session separately. Once the session is complete, these keys also disappear.
That makes sense.

So it really doesn't make much sense to outsource offshore during the seed stage of a start up.

Can R&D credits be applied to future year earnings?

You mean because of using the same string for a key/value? I guess I see the potential problem.
Anyway just think that it might be a bit confusing to have the enum work slightly different depending on whether its using numbers or strings. It can caught some people off guard.
Maybe my point wasn't entirely clear. I actually think that an out-of-field degree may rather help than hurt, because you have an additional perspective - especially if it's a degree based in math.

I definitely see your point about leadership though - university is just one thing, the right guidance at the first longer term job is certainly essential, and something I didn't yet have the luck to see.

To sum up, I didn't mean to say that a degree is what you need, rather that people training only in tool usage often backfires later on, and doesn't necessarily help to get at the underlying fundamentals.
Now we move on to performance enhancing supplements. All natural, of course. /s

Two recruiters from Switzerland recently told me that the only things that matters is your study programme (should fit the one given in job opening) and your degree (B.Sc/M.Sc). Salary is non negotiable for entry level jobs. "What can you do" or whatever you did while in college increases only the chances of getting hired. But having basic programming skills is usually already enough to get an offer.
> The USPS inspector general’s office estimated that the USPS lost $79 million in fiscal year 2013 delivering this foreign treaty mail.

$79M is governmental chickenfeed, given how much this service improves the quality of life of its citizens. For perspective, it's moderately less than the cost of one (1) F35.
Delayed because of a permit application’s font size? Is there a regulation on the proper font specifications?

Alert: Data Corruption with Mixed Endian Mirror Shadowing
Thanks for the question, I probably should have made this clearer in the article. Just presenting some pseudocode and typedefs of structs may have given a wrong impression of how this works.

So to be very clear: I reversed the functions and types without any symbols. All function names, type names, and variable names from the article are chosen by me. In the actual code, those names are most likely very different.

For such a simple function as this, all you need is the control flow graph form of X86 disassembly as linked in footnote 4 of the article.

I really don't mean to offend anyone, just curious whether the ability to fall asleep in uncomfortable environments is something asian-specific.

Lunchtime naps are common in Taiwan. Someone will turn off the light in the office at the start of the lunch break, and turn it back on at the end.

That change of lighting encourages everyone to take a rest or leave, because staying will disturb the people who want to rest. It also saves a little electricity, I suppose.
What is Petya the virus?
Yes, this is very true. Most companies aren't going to keep you long enough to spend lots of money to train you. In the old days you expected to be at the same company until you retired. These days you're lucky if you are there for five. Training should really start at the high school level. It's a disgrace that most students graduate from 12+ years of school without the training to get a good job but they can attend a codecamp for 1 year and get a starting job as a coder. It's no wonder we have a large number of workers that feel the american dream is slipping away. They never learned the skills they need to survive and thrive in our current economic system.

What's even sadder is that leaders are not focusing in this part of the problem but instead in silliness like who uses what bathroom. Things need to change.
I disagree with that strongly. There are loads of people describing what they see of the homeless issue, and proposing or discussing potential solutions in a generally respectful way.
