If anyone's interested, this is the (epic!) discussion thread for "Getting explicit SIMD on stable Rust":

https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/getting-explicit-simd-on-s...

It still wouldn't compete with really good hand-tuned asm, but it might help reduce the perf/usability tradeoff a bit.

There is a reference to django.css in the source, assuming you meant the style. As the blogging engine wouldn't necessarily dictate the cleanliness of the look.
Source? I wonder how much that's inflated by truck sales. I should re-phrase and say that 35,000 is expensive for a passenger car; The Ford Fusion and Honda Accord both start around $22,000.

Right, because constitutions don't generally have a mechanism to be amended? And the judiciary in countries with constitutions don't tend to apply constitution to areas that they were clearly never intended e.g. encryption.

The idea that the UK parliament would abolish courts doesn't really need addressing, it's so absurd. I take it you're also aware that we regularly (some would say too regularly) democratically elect parliament? That's usually consider a check if not a balance.

The problem isn't the lack of a UK constitution or any of the other specious arguments. The problem is that a large number of people, very probably the majority, either agree with this idea or simply don't care. At the very least they don't care enough to make it an important issue in a general election and we've just had a couple.
I know this isn't relevant to your post, but do you know anything about Facebook's London Software Engineering Co-op, or could you put me in touch with someone who does?

I'm trying to clarify whether the role is full-time, and if so, whether it might be possible to create a part-time equivalent position for a student enrolled in a MRes program.
First Working Definition of Global Catastrophic Biological Risks (GCBRs)
While it may be important to correct the record on the safety of nuclear, if one really cares about the environment, one shouldn't be attached to just one solution like nuclear.

In a political environment where approximately half of the country has been tricked by propaganda to disbelieve the basics of climate science, we can't get attached to expensive solutions like nuclear that require lots of public financial and political support. We need the carbon-free electricity to be the cheapest option, as dollars are probably the only thing that can overcome the anti-climate-change political ideology.

Market solutions are the best option now, and though well-sited solar and wind are the cheapest source of power at the moment, they need to be distributed properly both in time and in geography. Storage and HVDC are the solutions that make this possible. Storage is getting super cheap, and is on the cusp of becoming a universal install with all new renewables. HVDC is getting somewhat cheaper, and other countries are building tons of it. Getting HVDC built does require some political support, because it means getting different grids to interact with each other.

We need to be realistic about nuclear. Refusing to hold people accountable for bad decisions on nuclear isn't fighting against populist posturing, it's just protecting poor decision makers and preventing better ones from taking their place. These utilities have had poor decision makers that have been unfairly biased against renewable energy over the past decade, and are only ever so slowly awakening to the financial realities out there. South Carolina needs utility execs that are forward thinking, understand technology and how its changing, and are not stuck in the 80s or 90s. Only then will they be proper stewards of South Carolin's finances and environment.

Imagine if South Carolina had been building off shore wind, at $9B. They amount of industry that would have been gained off that would have been immense. South Carolina companies would have had the knowledge to build off-shore wind all over the East Coast. And it would be local corporations, not foreign contractors like Dong energy.

We need to get out of the past, and look to the future of technology. Nuclear had its day, and may again in the future, but for the coming decades it is not a terribly great option, at more than say 1%-5% of our energy supply.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Recursion is a startup with about 65 people, generating rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. We have literally millions of images from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. We’ve gotten more than $2M in multiple grants from the NIH, and last fall closed a $15M series A led by Lux Capital. We’re using imaging experiments to turn human cell experiments into massive amounts of rich biological data so we can find treatments using ML and data science for many diseases as fast as possible. Yoshua Bengio (one of the fathers of deep learning) just became an advisor for our ML work.

We’re looking for:

* Software Engineers: Looking for highly experienced full-stack and backend senior/principal-level engineers who like interacting heavily with internal customers and building complex systems quickly, for a good cause. No bio background needed.

* Data Scientists/ML researchers: Looking for highly experienced senior/principal-level data scientists and machine learning researchers who want a challenging problem, lots of rich data, and knowledge that their breakthroughs will seriously help people. No bio background needed.

* Biologists, computational biologists, automation scientists, and drug discovery experts.

http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers for more details and to apply.

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Great pay, health insurance, 401k, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor/extend visas, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US--we can’t handle the lottery at this stage.

Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software engineering: go, python, angular.js, react, javascript on aws and gce. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).

How to get to entry level in software development?
What is the best way to increase my employ-ability or usefulness. I feel that since I can't even make it into entry level positions I wont learn the necessary skills needed in an actual working environment and I'll just keep getting academic experience, which don't get me wrong is wonderful. But, I'm starting to realize my age and still living with my family is putting a squeeze on the enjoyment I get out of college.

I'm a community college student half way through a basic Computer Technology associates. (I should mention I already have an associates that's basically useless) I haven't learned a ton from the actual school and most of my coding abilities have come from random tutorials and tinkering. Right now I've got no real professional skills when it comes to coding. I can do a good deal of basic stuff with a few languages. I can tie into API's and get meaningful data out of them, data extraction, and I've been playing with RPC calls and simple web front ends with bitcoin clones and ethereuem.
Wow, not even one network engineering position posted. I guess this is SDE central.

> Proof-of-work is simply not sustainable (energy-wise), IMO, for the foundation of a global system. The stability of whole ecosystems is predicated upon those ecosystems being attractive to people who want to make money by competing to solve hard problems by brute force.

What do you mean by this, exactly? Bitcoin miners look more than willing to earn money on brute forcing hard problems.

The point of proof-of-work is that it shouldn’t matter what anyone thinks about it. It’s basically impossible to ban (anyone can do a SHA256 calculation), and the difficulty automatically adjusts. In addition to this, the block reward — currently 12.5 BTC per block — halves every ~4 years, so less and less electricity will be consumed until only transaction fees provide capital for proof-of-work[1].

I think that statement might have been true years ago.
Same. I work on such a diverse number of projects and codebases (from diverse sources) that I've found it best to stay as grounded in regular CSS as possible.
PWAs? Public Welfare Assistance schemes?
Very cool domain name! We should all start using `.style` TLD for css frameworks.
There are solutions to that though, like Proof of Stake. If distributed systems really cared about that, then that's exactly why they ought to be working on blockchains, to make them more efficient.
His argument is almost tautological, because it is conditional on the basis that the society is healthy.

Societies fall apart over slow, widely predicted economic adjustments all the time, because healthy societies have buffering homeostatic functions.

Once the adjustment exceeds the ability of the society to buffer, the adjustment rapidly moves from the 'slow and widely predicted' bucket to the 'war, disease and chaos' bucket. One might note that this process leaves the society looking healthy until the moment when suddenly it isn't.

Librato/Papertrail/TraceView | Sr Data Engineer | SF / US-REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.librato.com/jobs

We're looking for a full-time software engineer to take a key role in building the large-scale distributed systems that power Solarwinds Cloud products: Papertrail (hosted logs), Librato (time-series metrics) and TraceView (APM and distributed tracing).

We’re a small team so everyone has the opportunity to have a big impact. We’ve built our platform out largely on Java8 Dropwizard services, a handful of Golang services and some C++ where performance is critical. We leverage Kafka as our main service bus, Cassandra for long term storage, our in-house stream processing framework for online analytics, and we rely on Zookeeper as a core part of intra/inter-service coordination. Our data pipeline pushes millions of messages a second and tens of terabytes of logs per day.

All team members, whether local in San Francisco or remote, commit code to Github, communicate over Slack and Hangouts, push code to production via our ChatOps bot, and run all production applications on AWS. We also use an array of best-breed SaaS applications to get code to production quickly and reliably. We are a team that is committed to a healthy work/life balance.

Papertrail/Librato/TraceView are wholly owned by SolarWinds Inc. so you get the benefits of a small startup, with the backing of a big company so there is no worry about the next round of funding. SolarWinds offers competitive bonus and matching 401k programs that create an attractive total compensation package.

This is an example of some of the technology we build and work with on a regular basis: http://www.heavybit.com/library/blog/streamlining-distribute....

this is really useful. thanks
Lighting network boosts the number of transactions between two people, but you need to have 'banks' to make it efficient. And even then a minimum of 2 transactions per month * 7 billion people is still a lot of data.

> One possibility would be a government mandate that financial transactions are done with a blockchain in order to have transparency.

How does that stop governments from engaging in Iran-Contra behavior?

How is that better than a government mandate requiring a list of expenditures PGP-signed by the government and their vendors?
Benchmarking is pretty meaningfree in the best cases. The JVM isn't any worse in this regard.

The JVM is slow in many regimes due to things like JIT warmup. Rather than accepting that many JVM people are hypersensitive: thou must only benchmark in the JVM's best case scenario.
Recycle it in a breeder reactor is my favorite option. We would only really need one of them to process the entire nation' waste.

3 Steps to Aligning Short and Long-Term Inbound Strategy
Hey HN, one of the makers of DiscoverDev here. The idea behind this project is to track and tag high quality technical articles published by the engineering teams of various companies. Kind of like a "Product Hunt" for engineering blogs. We've limited ourselves to company published articles (for now). The whole process is pretty much automated, but all shortlisted articles do go through human eyes for a final quality check.

We also run a mailing list and have a twitter account (https://twitter.com/discoverdev_io) for those interested.

Dear UK secretary: your department lost credibility to talk about "real people" needs when the UK police helped Murdoch's "News of the World" to hack into "real people" phones.

But I don't expect you to understand your own responsibilities so let's just wait until Vladimir Putin hacks into any server containing your private information. Then UK politicians will understand.
My bad, I meant profiling, not benchmarking.
Too many programmers, too many templates and frameworks, poor factoring, too much code reuse, bad build configurations, and lack of LTO.
