You joke it, but it's a major problem that our tech for very stable WORM media has lagged behind demand.

Our use of data has grown so much faster than our network capacity (and indeed, it seems like we're going to hit a series of physical laws and practical engineering constraints here). "Data has gravity" but the only way to "sustainable" hold a non-trivial volume of data for 20 years right now is to run a data center with a big dht that detects faults and replicates data.
If you had more computing power than the network, you could (theoretically) undo all of BTC by completely replacing the chain.

I think in practice, they would ignore such a rewrite of history.
I don't think I'd call random innocent people getting served with lawsuits "hilarious".

Ask HN: Why are so many employees leaving Clarifai?
The company has lost a good fraction of its staff, it is not replacing them and most of the first employees have left. Does anyone know why?
Yes, the prospect of making big money attracts/motivate certain kinds of very smart people. But if your goal in life is to make gazillions of $, why would you want to become a doctor? This is the wrong job. And if you want to become a doctor in China, why would you want to come to the US to study? It makes more sense for business. And the good news is that to become a doctor, while you do need to be smart, there's no need to be the cream of the crop in intelligence or wealth.

An "algebraic data store" would be a very interesting piece of software. Bonus points if it's lazy and if you can store functions there too.

Haskell creates some problems for joining different transactions into the same set of guarantees (like SQL does in optimist data sharing). But I'm sure there's some extension somewhere that makes the perfect data type for that possible - I just don't know about it.
I used to make mixtapes by recording music from the radio onto a cassette tape.

> ... I feel like if I thought abortion was actually murder of babies, I think I'd probably hold my nose and vote for whoever had the best chance of ending that practice.

I didn't vote for Trump, but I know a lot of people that did.

Abortion is actually a huge part of it. To the point that I'm wondering why Trump-voter-haters think the election was just about xenophobia or something.

There was also a non-trivial portion of the right who expected things like the Damore firing and voted for the person least likely to contribute to that future. They think that the Pope himself could easily become a persona non grata at Google or certain parts of the national bureaucracy.

Alexandra Elbakyan Closed Sci-Hub for Russian Users
Today Alexandra Elbakyan closed Sci-Hub for Russian users. Russian users currently see Alexandra’s note explaining her reasons for shutting it down in Russia instead of Sci-Hub main page. The reasons cite:
2 years of continued harassment of Alexandra on the Russian-speaking Internet.
Inappropriate, abusive behavior of Russian scientists in regards to Alexandra, including reporting her as ‘crazy’, and naming a parasitic insect in her honor. Some of these ‘scientists’ occupy high-rank positions in the Russian Academy of Sciences and are very vocal and organized in their insults towards Alexandra. Meanwhile, people attacking her did not hesitate to proceed using Sci-Hub.

The article doesn't give details as to which thresholds the ruling sets, though.

I guess they might be an improvement over Romanian law for example, but below French law (and probably other EU countries as well) where what is sent or received on nominative work email addresses is private communication and can not be monitored.

If you have any questions I am happy to answer them.
The main differences in comparison to Dropbox & Co are that it only hosts your important documents, so they do not get lost. Also you can do fulltext-search on scans (which is partially possible in other providers, too).
Also I wasn't quite happy with the way folders are structured so with DocumentDeck you can organize your documents by tags.

There is a lot of things on the top of my head that would make this even more useful, so I am happy to launch this V1.0.

I am happy about any feedback :)
Storytelling, and narratives.

Though, I suppose either music or storytelling may have been relatively more important, and larger percentage of the total activity of pre-historic human groups, than those 'industries' are for us today.
I'm not the right person to ask. I've never managed to get a job that involved HR screening phone calls.

I usually rate myself from 7 to 8. Probably 9 if I have 5+ years of experience or I would be confident consulting.

Once I rated my skills as 10 for a technology I know quite a lot about. I was then told that I was showing off and that I need to work on being more humble.

Is Go's assembly intended to be mostly platform-independent or platform-specific?

I clicked through to the AES example, and found that it "makes use of Go Assembly to leverage Intel's hardware support for AES, calling the AES-NI CPU instructions." So does that only work on Intel CPUs?

I'm confused about why Go has its own assembly syntax if you're going to be writing platform-specific code anyway. Or can you write Go assembly that works well on both x86 and ARM, say?

EDIT to put the question a different way: what are some use cases where you'd use Go assembly? In C, you'd typically drop down to platform-specific assembly for two reasons: 1) to muck about with the stack, for example in a threading library, or 2) to use platform-specific instructions, like NEON or SSE. (In that second case you can often get away with intrinsics rather than assembly, though.) Does Go assembly have the same uses, or different ones?

In one of these situations, it is someone making a choice to inconvenience themselves in order to do something they believe should be done.

In the other, it is someone inconveniencing someone else because they don't want to do something.
Forgive my ignorance (I haven't found a resource that clearly discusses blockchain without conflating it with cryptocurrencies) - but can we even have a blockchain-based tech that doesn't burn enormous amounts of electricity just to operate? If not, then I don't see how blockchain can do anything but make things worse.

Also, the real problem isn't technical here. P2P file sharing technologies - from BitTorrent to IPFS - work well and efficiently. The problem, which makes the Internet media evolve towards big players owning CDNs and not towards IPFS-like network, is legal liability. When I watch a video of a wrong colour on YouTube, I'm protected by Safe Harbour. If I watch the same movie over BitTorrent, I risk having my life ruined by copyright laws. As long as this can happen, we won't have fully decentralized media.

Peer and management feedback was used for the perf reviews.
this is quite the nitpick... for all intents and purposes, sha3_256 will _not_ collide; it's infeasible to the point that it can be said that the resulting hash is unique. I mean, of course you are technically right, but sometimes all the details are not worth mentioning when explaining a lot of small parts of a bigger picture.
All excellent points - I would opine though that education has a particular difficulty in that unless one trusts a standardized test every year, the experiment needs to run for a very long time by the standards of human trials.
Where doesn't it end?

You yourself just said that everyone should know. Rather than creating needless paperwork for everybody they'd be better served with a public relations campaign by the government to teach people that your work email is owned by your company which means they can read and monitor it.
That was just one example. The Berkley professor in that example was arrested for for felony assault of his "hostile enemy" that he picked out of a crowd because the guy had a Trump sign / shirt / hat.

If you feel that everyone who supports the president is a hostile enemy advocating for the ethnic cleansing of your fellow Americans, you should probably start getting your news from some place other than Google News / John Oliver / etc. Attacking people with opposing views is LITERALLY the definition of facism, which they claim to be against.

What I meant is that a FP language could go its own way and let the side effects happen.. well on the side. Sure you will have to communicate computations to other systems but you can have these part clearly segregated and synchronized.

I must confess, I have no experience there, it's just years of reading about and writing functional code and seeing a potential trail here.

> are you perhaps viewing American politics from the perspective of someone accustomed to European politics?

I probably am. With the "golden calves" point, I meant that there are specific topics that are adhered to religiously, and any attempt to discuss them produces a reflexive negative reaction. I'm not even talking about extreme ideology, I'm talking about things like the Google memo, which, although it did have some points that didn't really stand (and which should have sparked discussion, as the memo intended), didn't merit the shitstorm that ensued, in my opinion.

I see this in various friends of mine, when we discuss, for example, hiring quotas. Personally, I generally consider hiring quotas a bad practice, and discussed this with a friend, who is heavily in favor of them. However, when I told him about how my sister got passed over for hiring in favor of a male competitor as a result of affirmative action (lawyers here are overwhelmingly female), I could sense that my friend didn't agree with it either. It felt like his opinion wasn't "minorities should have an advantage", but rather "this particular group of people should have an advantage even where they're the majority". That strikes me as a fundamentally non-rational position.

Another point is that I feel that if you're a white, middle-class male, you can basically never be right. If someone puts you down, you can't complain because there are other people who are less privileged than you. It's the "starving children in Africa" argument.

Take all this with a grain of salt, though, as the society I live in isn't like this. All of the above is what I gather from talking to my american friends and colleagues, so I may be off the mark or wrong in many things.

I meant in terms of what it's outputting from the models, not what it's accepting as input. Since most apps accepts accept input from users via API endpoints or forms, sanitizing the output strikes me as more important than sanitizing the input, although ideally both should happen.

I don't have any good example data, but this is what I'm talking about:

https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/issues/3466

A lot of folks don't care about this if they are making libraries for users, since it's really an issue with Excel, but if people within your company are the ones who are going to be potentially getting pwned then it makes less sense to me to just blame MS or whatever.
Somewhere around where the slippery slope fallacy starts.

Snark aside, there's no real downside to mandating something in an employment contract that is probably already in most employment contracts anyways. This catches the stragglers.
Corporations do not have remorse and they can not be sociopathic.

Corporations are like ant colonies. They are bodies of people who are bound together in order that the whole outlasts the individual, in order to serve the needs of the group. They are made up of individuals with feelings, but they can't "feel" things on their own. They can reflect the shared feelings of the group, but this is just a reflection, like seeing the image of trees reflected in a body of water.

The author is obviously very upset about the whole thing, but personifying a corporation is illogical (even if the Supreme Court disagrees with me)

No, because that's for limited personal use. Selling the tape or playing it in public would be illegal, I suppose.

I'm biased due to the performance constraints I work with and actually liking templates for the most part (apart from a few silly restrictions on specialization), but here's how I've solved some of those pain points for myself. I can't stand CMake, but quite enjoy using Meson (though small projects are just fine with a simple build script in bash or whatever you prefer). Error messages and editor integration are largely fixed by the Clang ecosystem, which have also enabled some excellent editor plugins (I use EasyClangComplete for Sublime, there are equivalents for every major editor now). When I care about Windows compatibility, I also use VS2017, which is a great improvement over previous versions and doesn't impose major constraints in terms of standard compliance any more. Perf and VTune satisfy all of my profiling needs.

Overall, I feel like the ecosystem utility / tooling situation has improved hugely over the past few years, to the point where it's comparable to any other language out there, though at the expense of requiring some user effort in choosing tools and getting a bit used to them. That's just my personal opinion, though, YMMV.
Sure, but income and wealth inequality is affecting our sociopolitical stability. Should we really prioritize their success over the lower and middle classes? How much higher should executive pay be compared to the workers? Why should executives get tens of millions per year while the laborers make $20-40k/yr?
It was a random blog post praising the simplicity of Forth; couldn't find it again if my life depended on it. Thankfully it didn't go too much into Forth dogmatics; what it did instead was to cut the ideas down to their core, which simplified my thought process to the point where I could finally see a clear path to something that felt like it was worth my effort.

We over-complicate things, for different reasons. The truth is that nothing is very complicated once you understand it well enough to break it down to its core.
That's probably by Article 9 paragraph 2 of the convention: It shall be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to permit the reproduction of such works in certain special cases, provided that such reproduction does not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work and does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author.

The European Union Copyright Directive explicitly allows member states to have legislation allowing copies for private uses. Germany for example makes use of that exception. It is allowed to make copies of copyrighted works for personal use (with some restrictions). In exchange we pay a special tax on storage media which goes to right holders (for example 36€ on a smartphone).

That topic is far away from my area of expertise but we had some high-profile court cases regarding private copies and if there had been any way to shut that down via the Berne Convention it would surely have been tried.

I think you could repurpose the original test suite as is. Rust can interface with C seamlessly.
You lose incremental builds of modern bundlers/transpilers, which makes your build time too slow for bigger projects. People nowadays expect to see changes almost in realtime using hot module replacement etc.
Thank for putting into words what I thought ^^
Thanks for your thoughts. I've worked in the nonprofit space for a long time and agree that there are way too many fragmented projects. We did the pilot in Uganda because we were invited by the community. They wanted to implement a community health insurance system (similar to the mutuelle system in Rwanda) but they didn't have the capacity to administer it. The community and the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau designed the insurance system and are currently running it with our technology.

The government (both the Ministry of Health and the district health office) were involved in the project and even drove out to speak at the launch. They are interested in national health insurance, and we've been invited to participate in their technical working group to share our learnings. At request of the government, our system will integrate with DHIS2 and EMR's like OpenMRS, however, we've found that very few providers actually have an EMR in use. Our system isn't an EMR - it's health insurance administration (enrollment, claims, etc.) which is very different and we haven't found anything like it for LMI countries, beyond CarePay which is mostly focused on payments.

Another government in East Africa has already approached us about using our software to administer their public health insurance system, but the Rwandan government would be an ideal next partner. I'd love to talk more if you're interested and we're always open to feedback, especially from people like you with lots of experience in the space. Please reach out at connect@watsi.org if you have a few minutes. Thanks again.

I predict that its rise will be found to be caused by tremendous social problems that we are refusing to acknowledge. IMHO, it's a symptom, not a disease.
Under your proposal, the roughly 50% of Americans with zero net wealth would pay nothing. That’s fine on paper, but it would actually incent people to stay in debt and dis-incent the accumulation of savings.

Look at it this way, I can either buy a bigger house with more debt whenever I have some extra money laying around, or I can save that cash and have the government take some of it every year. You also incent people to spend money on non-material things like travel and entertainment, rather than spending cash on a reasonable car (because leasing the car and blowing the other $20k in Vegas sounds like more fun).

There’s a simple maxim in taxes and economics - do not tax activities you want to encourage, and tax those which you want to curtail.
The other aspect I see here is that the ability to get into a former employee's email account may be important for business continuity. Employee dies or leaves suddenly? They may have access to online accounts or information in their email that didn't quite make it onto the corporate wiki or that no one else had access to (although a good company would minimize that). Important to be able to get in there and just get stuff done.

On the other hand - just the other day I was looking at "Blind" (because it got advertized on my Instagram feed) that claims to be a "private"-ish social network for employees of a company to share information. Many of the reviews claim there are ulterior motives, etc. but the chief complaint seems to be that it requires verification through work email, and obviously that's begging for your employer to find out about your involvement in these back channels. Online employer verification that doesn't give yourself away, and isn't as easy to spoof as LinkedIn? That seems like a hard problem to solve...
