That should also mean doubled CPU performance which might be important for some workloads as well!

Edit: From the docs:

Send me an email. Happy to talk to you about it. Just the garbage collection issues is enough to frustrate all but the most dedicated developers. I use pre-allocated object pools for just about everything that helps, but it's easy at 60 frames a second for one allocation to build up to thousands of objects quickly if you are not very careful.
This would be my reply too. The whole site is great! I've recently went through hex grid tutorial - very informative, interactive and nicely presented.
An API for a customer? Sure, I could wrote code to automate a reporting of my exchange trades, but why couldn't the developers of the trading platform write their own automation to show me a line-by-line order history with the gains and losses itemized? It sure is something you will have with any other non-altcoin-trading platform.
well this monitor also can daisy chain another monitor. which is awesome per se, and actually the daisy chained monitor gets switched aswell. (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/35...)

but 800 bucks for a monitor :/ I've always looked at these dell monitors. but I never use a external monitor when I'm at home (laptop). But at work my boss would never pay for any of those.

"Too many engineers" is the impression I tend to come away with whenever I attend a tech talk by someone from the more fiscally beleaguered of the tech darlings.

The talk is invariably about some really impressive bit of software that appears to have required equally heaping measures of smarts and money to build, and also appears to be a $10 solution to a 10¢ problem.
I remember finding ICC produced some very fast binaries about 15 years ago last I tried it. But at this point I can't imagine a 3rd major open source compiler for C++ thriving, and I imagine that the specific optimizations in ICC would be difficult to merge into Clang or GCC.
> There are plenty of operating systems that use C++ on the kernel side of things. Some things, like exceptions, are frowned upon and rarely used -- if at all -- but there is no shortage of C++ kernel code. Just not in Linux.

I used to work on one. It was developed in the 90s, around the same time C++ became an ISO standard. I think most of you have used it without knowing. :)

I think OOP is natural for writing kernels and most mainstream kernels implement some kind of object system because of this. I also wrote my toy kernel in modern C++, despite that I'm "fluent" in both C and C++. So yeah, C++ kernels are here, just not in Linux land.

After reading the Times article (currently #7 on HN list) it would look like a fine is probably the least of their worries in the Waymo case.
I recently encountered a senior citizen with mobility issues. As far as she's concerned, Uber is the best thing that has happened to her in the past two decades. She no longer has to wait a half hour or more for a taxi that may not show! Total game-changer.

She has no idea about some of the aspects of Uber that some may find objectionable.
I'm hoping the movement around ReasonML[0] could lead to both the web community being able to reap the benefits of OCaml's fundamentals, while also giving people a point of introduction to the OCaml community through web dev.

It has been my experience that the ReasonML community is incredibly welcoming to new comers, and is moving at a break-neck pace to find the right target of being approachable for people who are familiar with JS, but also empowering users to use all of OCaml's power to create web apps that are more simple and correct than they would otherwise be.

It's essentially the C++ I always wanted, which is more or less its intent.

It's fast. The D code I write routinely matches or outperforms the C++ I also write for comparison.

D is a much cleaner language. It has obvious C++ inspirations but has thrown out decades of backwards-compatible cruft.

As a result, D has some of C++'s best features, like sophisticated metaprogramming, with much nicer language. In fact, this is the part I like the most: compile-time function evaluation. D allows you to evaluate essentially any function at compile time for which all of its inputs are known at compile time. It almost feels like lisp macros, with the slight downside that they work on unstructured strings instead of (minimally) structured sexps.

D is safe. It produces stack traces when I mess up instead of segfaults. It won't let me compile the most obvious errors it can catch at compile time. I'm not even sure yet if it's possible to have UB in D.

D is flexible. It doesn't impose an opinion on how I should do things. I can do OOP, functional, or procedural as I please and provides useful tools to do all those. OOP is like the familiar classes you know from C++ and Java with interfaces instead of multiple inheritance. Functional programming utilities are useful without being burdensome. You can totally do a for loop in a pure functional function as long as the overall function has no side effects, which is very practical.

D has a bunch of other niceties which you can explore in the D's gems section here:

do these snack bags have metalic material in them strictly for the graphics to have gloss and shine? What purpose does it serve?
They were selling these online from shady resellers at least ten years ago. A friend picked one up and told me he could jam some phone calls on the train, depending on carrier and frequencies used I suppose. I think it broke a week or two later and he tossed it.

It's pretty great to see so many different takes on these visual prompts! Going through the source, it looks pretty similar to an early version of one of my projects - have you ran into any issues with chyzer/readline? I can't remember the exact reason I had to ditch it, but I think there were problems with its support for Windows

Here's the project for anyone interested: https://github.com/AlecAivazis/survey
I met Juan back in 2014, where us (Feross, Substack, Max Ogden, Mafintosh, and others) all showed off our P2P projects. How times have changed since then!

I can attest to the usefulness of Filecoin. But I do think you are right in that IPFS is for immutable file/asset storage, and not as efficient for mutable data. David, one of the core teams at IPFS, reached out to me the other week about how CRDTs on top of IPFS can fix that. That is what we have solved, mutable graph data that can update in realtime or offline, across a ad-hoc mesh network.

IPFS is still critical here though, because using our Radix Storage Engine (just released) adapter, we can batch high volume mutable data to disk (aka IPFS) for storage and retrieval, which once fetched gun kicks back into gear and does sync.

Ethereum is just not at this scale yet, last I heard it was doing about 7 transactions per second (and Bitcoin doing 4). We're doing 2K end-to-end (across a 4 peer network hop) table inserts/second! I demo this on stage here: https://youtu.be/nTbUCTgLmkY

In that talk, I also explain how to do load testing across a distributed system in order to verify its correctness, aka do simulations on failures like with Kyle Kingsbury's (Aphyr) Jepsen Tests.

So while Filecoin isn't ready yet, its market cap represents a massive emerging opportunity. If Uber unicorn-ed crowdsourced transportation, imagine what a truly P2P incentivized crowdsourced storage system could do. Remember, all machines need electricity (Bitcoin), computation (Ethereum), storage (filecoin), and bandwidth (what we're tackling, with data sync, and incentives).

If you look at it in that context, it makes sense. Hopefully the crypto-P2P community will deliver :) to keep up with the demand. Cheers!
Same here, but for lots of designers I think this could be really helpful.
Many people in recent history have done serious multi-year sentences for evading taxes on amounts well under $1M.

The same is likely true for violations of OFAC, BSA, and AML laws.

Even minimum security prisons aren’t a lot of fun, and good luck re-starting anything resembling a career or life when you’re released.
Interesting point, we're looking at implementing this new ntp server. Wanted to know a bit more about the risks of mixing leap second algos. Is there any more info / links you can give on the subject?
Same way you'd keep track of any other profits. And, in the eyes of the IRS, it is your responsibility to do so.
You seem to be convinced there are better ways to implement a distributed consensus mechanism that doesn’t depend on proof of work. Feel free to present it to the world and become the next satoshi. Meanwhile - face the reality. PoW will consume as much energy as is profitable and only market decides that.
It sounds like you implemented something very similar to the LVM snapshot feature. You didn't want to require LVM but ... is that really worse than requiring your custom module which is roughly equivalent?

EDIT: ok so it looks like the management of the snapshot space is a bit different. still, you could probably have wrapped LVM management enough to make it palatable, in less than the time it took to write a custom module
>And once drivers are taken out of the picture, ride prices will plummet.

1. This is probably further out than a lot of people assume. Reliable door to door fully autonomous in dense cities is one of the hardest use cases to solve but it's more or less what you need for self-driving taxis.

2. The pricing probably also won't "plummet." The IRS mileage rate (about 53 cents/mile) is probably a reasonable floor to use. That's still about half current Uber rates.
Oddly enough, when I compare Uber to Lyft in the East Bay, 99% of the time Lyft is cheaper by at least $3. Even Uber Pool is usually the same or slightly more expensive than a dedicated Lyft.

I have no idea why (maybe less drivers?) but I already stopped using Uber because of that. If their prices when even higher then I'd simply never use them again instead of the occasional time that I do now.
Sooner or later (i.e. before Filecoin ships) you do need to turn on the marketing so that people will use what you built.
I get you and there is harm to be done from this, but did anyone expect otherwise? I mean if all the trades are done through the exchanges like coinbase, what did anyone think, that IRS wouldn't go after the exchanges?
I too am done with Twitter. Not only have I decided to stop normalizing their dystopian world, but the S/N ratio has continually dropped over the years and bots abound. None of it is very useful or productive anymore, if it ever was.
fwupd is for firmware in external/flashable devices or uefi/bios stuff.

I suppose it's not for offices where people are sitting next to keyboards anyway.

* A conference room (no remote controls in sight): "Alexa, turn on the projector".

* A hotel room (from a coach): "Alexa, turn the air conditioning off."

* A workshop (everybody's hands are busy and greasy): "Alexa, mark order 2348 completed, bill ten dollars extra for urgency."

This makes certain sense.
Porosity. The metallic material is to cut down on air transfer.
Your phone logs when you turn it off and on. It can't log the difference in why you lost signal though. So this guy just says "See, my phone was on the whole time, but there was no signal at the work site..."
Rails comes with many libraries, you might use some or you might not, is this just to play around or for an actual project?

I'd say if you know Django and python it shouldnt be hard at all to pick up ruby and Rails. I think learning rails would a great learning exercise, something you can already apply your Django knowledge

But when customers leave in droves, they can respond by reducing infrastructure and doing layoffs, and then they'll probably still be profitable.

With Uber, I think there is some degree of loyalty just because of the ubiquity and convenience. Plus, I imagine their prices will be more or less the same as a taxi since they don't have the expense of dealing with the regulatory overhead (since they just blatantly ignore the law instead)

Social security is its own beast, but tapping into those funds would add about 850 billion more.

So maybe a better name for it would be Guaranteed Minimum Income, that way it takes employed people out of the pool.

And yes you could call it welfare. It would also replace the unemployment income system, another source of expenses.

Sprite_TM is my all time favorite hardware hacker. He is a great friend, and I wish we didn't live on opposite sides of the world so that I could hang out with him more frequently.

His talks are always amazing. There are two others from the Hackaday Superconference which I absolutely loved:

* Project Details: http://spritesmods.com/?art=tamasingularity
* Talk video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_-e_cJ1-Gs

* Tiniest Game Boy Keychain is a hardware tour-de-force... someone else on this thread said they weren't impressed by emulators in small packages. This one should prove you wrong
* Project details: I couldn't find it on his site, here's the Hackaday article: https://hackaday.com/2016/11/28/tiniest-game-boy-hides-in-yo...
* Talk video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYXAZZfJm-g

Those are both flashy, but I love his work on things like reverse engineering the controller for this hard drive and running his own code on it:

This is the kind of thing that makes sense on a message board, but having been a party to a situation in which a former employee (not at one of my companies) made claims which the management team believed to be bogus, the (professional) management of that company did whatever they could to get that employee _as far as they possibly could_ from the operations of the company, _as quickly as they could_.

The idea that there was some machievellian scheme to keep this guy on the books in order to monitor him more closely does not ring true at all.

> The garage door opener works when you push a button.

What button? I've got a detached garage, so it doesn't make sense to have a button inside. And when the previous residents were (apparently) evicted, they took various keys, remotes, etc with them. I most certainly had to buy a remote and find my garage door opener's manual to get it working. Damned if I was going to pay a garage door repairman to come out and hit a few buttons for me.
That's a brilliant product idea, I'd happily buy it off the shelf
> This is a feature (of content-targeted advertising), not a bug. If a business model relies on tracking and targeting unknowing users who aren't aware that they can resist being tracked and targeted, maybe it was a crappy business model in the first place.

This is a false dichotomy.

There exists a large, partly unexplored space between hard embedded pre-recorded ads and targeted advertising that makes use of tracking.

WSJ Calls Out Retail Emails, and It’s Only the Beginning
As a sovereign nation, Canada can impose any restrictions or requirements on a business that exists in their country. (Google has three offices physically in Canada.) Presumably, Canada can pass any law or issue a judgement in keeping with their laws on how to punish an entity in it's borders for noncompliance with their commands.

Those restrictions or requirements need not be limited to their borders. (For instance, the US prohibits companies from doing business with certain entities or persons in foreign countries. That continues to be true even if the person is not inside US borders.)

So, insofar as Google, as a company that does business in Canada, has refused to obey Canadian law, I suspect that Canada would be entirely in keeping with the law to charge Google with any civil or criminal penalties for refusal to comply. A US court's ruling has no authority or interest in the matter of Canada telling a company in Canada what to do.

I presume the end cap of Canada's powers (similarly to any sovereign nation) would be the seizure of all assets and closure of any business in Canada proper. Of course, within the grounds of whatever Canada's own laws allow. So while Canada may not have the sovereign right to force a company operating in another country to comply, it could presumably shut down all of Google's Canadian offices, ban them from doing business with the country, and any other penalty they feel like inside the country.

If you want to do business in a country, you must follow that country's laws, even if you think it's unfair the country is imposing them. This is why Google decided to leave China.
No. To the US Government, there is no other currency than the dollar. If you are a US Citizen, and working in the US, then you are using US Dollars. Everything else would be an asset. So if you are getting paid in BTC, that, to them, would be the same as you being paid in an equivalent amount of USD, then purchasing that much BTC. When you buy something using BTC, that would be the same as selling that amount of BTC, and then spending the USD.
