There is another way to track down LLVM IR errors.

Instead of serializing it, directly write as text and process the file with the LLVM IR assembler.

Granted, it is still harder as just using C, but a step closer to LLVM and easier to debug.
I bought a Chinese 1080p action cam for $30 about 3 years ago... is there some kind of competition issue in this market? (and it came with the waterproof case and various mounts)
To be clear, the billions controlled by these 8 individuals are not in the majority held in cash. The notion of redistributing this wealth is about socializing the benefits and gains from capital investments. As such, a restructuring of this wealth would not look like handing circa $165 to every person on the planet.
Apps have never really been the main space hog on phones though if you look at the numbers. Average app size is only ~40 MB and (the numbers are a bit sketchier here) the average person has 30-50 apps on their phone so even if we go to an extreme with multiple times the average apps you've only taken up 10-15% of a phones storage with apps.

Anecdotally the main perpetrator for wasted space is content; videos, pictures, and (in my case at 29GB) podcasts.

We currently use the Raft Go implementation from Hashicorp (the article links to the Github project). We found Hashicorp implementation mature enough and easier to work with than the one from etcd.

Using Rocksdb with Go has indeed its own challenges because CGO calls are far from cheap and have an important consequences on Go applications. For performance reasons, we ended up moving some logic from Go to C in a few hot-spots (eg. moving the retrieval of large amount of keys from Go to C).

So many functional aspects of JS make for an exciting future. If only chrome/firefox would catch up with webkit with regard to tail calls.

The latest comments from the devs on the bug in chrome is just depressing.
>> Is it really that much simpler in other countries to connect with the proper provider? I was under the impression countries like canada handle simple problems like mine much more gracefully

In Canada and in Britain, you simply go to your local GP and get a referral, or go to A&E (Emergancy).

>> but serious issues remain problematic.

No, generally treatment in Canada and Britain for 'serious issues' is very good as well.

We all hear about the well publicised failures of the NHS and Canadian Healthcare, but by and large it works very well. I have seen close relatives and friends have cancer, septicemia, strokes, severe bone breaks, a life changing injury that made a friend a quadrapeligic, and more. For the most post part, the level of healthcare in Canada and Britain has been excellent.

My friend who had septicemia was in a very remote location, and once diagnosed was airlifted to a major hospital.

All of this is covered by public healthcare. It is amazing.

It is even more astounding that the USA still has this Byzantine 'private' system that tries to claim that it is an open market, but it is not.

From a macroeconomic point of view, the USA pays 18% or 19% of GDP for its healthcare system, where as Britain and Canada, and pretty much every other western country pay about 10%. (These are OECD figures) The American healthcare system is horribly inefficient, and puting in a public system ought to be every American's politicial priority.

Imagine that, a universal healthcare system is cheaper to operate than the private system?

The rhetoric and hyperbole that comes out of those who are vested in the status quo is outright criminal.
I’m not 100% sure but do you have to support the connection? If the call goes from one peer to the other and never touches your server why is there a fee per minute?
Largely, I have to agree with you. Although, I decided to keep that observation separate from my issues stated above. It disturbs me about the amount of young people 'fawning' over him. There are people whom I will admit vastly more intelligent and more erudite than myself, people whose opinions or reasoning I would would give great weight to when considering, people whom I would call first order geniuses, even, but I can stand to see people turn their lives over to them and outsource their thinking.

And I can't help but feel Peterson knows this. (His field alone should equip him with knowledge of these circumstances.) And it sometimes flashes through my mind that Edward Bernays has brought Freud to America all over again (which is not necessarily an indictment of Freud directly so much as how his techniques were put to use), and that Peterson, and others like him, know on one level exactly what they are doing. After all, evolution has primed us to jockey into position for the best possible access to mates, and power has always been intimately connected with that. (Which is another ways that Peterson reminds me on the 'Bernaysian Era', when the rich elite needed to guide the irrational masses but managed to conveniently ignore the applicability of those very same theories to themselves and their own motivations for operation.)
Rare Pepe Wallet is interesting because it's not from the US, it was concepted in Venezuela where Pepe does not have the association with the alt-right. The Rare Pepe Wallet project has been part of the movement to reclaim Pepe from the alt-right which is almost entirely complete, most alt-right forums no longer use Pepe as their avatar (although some do).
A deterrent to future pranksters maybe. But I would imagine that the real danger is from malicious actors (say, foreign governments) who would not be deterred by the threat of punishment. So what does punishing this kid get us, other than satisfaction?

My remark was a jab at the fact that the list on the original website had leading zeros for no reason. I am not talking about naming files but about displaying information to humans.

In the case of music, leading zeros on files are useful for sorting. But the music player should not use file names for sorting but track numbers, and display them without leading zeros in the interface.

I've read a lot of criticism of Trump, but that he was a single-issue candidate is a new one. If anything, he was accused of saying everything and its opposite. What was that "one thing" you're saying he shouted?
What does "more inclusive" actually mean? People are being forced to be overly accommodating to the sensitivities of certain "oppressed" groups, for fear of being ostracized and branded as horrible people.

For example, if as a Christian you don't like the idea of gay marriage, you better not mention it in a group, unless maybe if you're Muslim, in which case your oppressed religious status allows that. It's a social minefield that has been created.
Why not? Who are you to decide what isn't a prank?

I have no idea. They've probably optimized the hell out of it in ways we can't understand. I mean, I thought about getting academics to cover cost of putting Leon3 or RISC-V on a cutting-edge node where 32-bit would be so cheap FOSS could undercut them. They'd need to do peripherals, too, but EE students always need projects to learn with. :) The MOSIS runs I saw at the time had packaging alone at $10-20 a chip. I know it goes down for higher volume but how low can I get it on a new product doing maybe 10,000/units a year?

Well, let me show you how low they get it so you know what your reusable-for-better-products micro would compete with:

http://www.microchip.com/ParamChartSearch/chart.aspx?branchI...

The smallest one is designed, masked, printed on silicon, packaged and sold in 5k quantities at 24 cents a chip at a profit! That's nuts! I can only imagine what the 4-bitters cost. The cheapest 32-bitter I found were 32-bit NXP's at 10,000 units for about 50 cents. So, they're getting there. It's an understatement, though, to say the manufacturing costs are highly competitive in this sector. :)
While I agree with another poster that these don’t quite seem like “earned knowledge”. I wouldn’t dismiss these ideas out of hand for their simplicity.

In my personal experience, the most valuable/powerful things are deceptively simple, but very hard to do well, or do consistently.

A few examples that many people struggle with:

- Spend less than you earn

- Exercise regularly

- Prioritize doing things, or spending time with people you love

In my experience, startups are very similar. There are not that many rules you need to follow, but they are often difficult to “execute on”. A couple of examples:

- Find great people you trust and can perform

- Find your market/path to profitability as quickly as possible

I am sure if we spent time, we would find lots of other “simple rules”. But the key point I am making is that simple rules are usually the right things to do, but they are often the hardest to really accomplish.

> Unregulated capitalism is not what's causing the massive inequality we see today. It's the financial and monetary policies.

Well, considering that financial and monetary policies are aimed at deregulation, and that financialization of the economy in developed countries is a thing, it would appear that unregulated capitalism is precisely what is causing massive inequality.
First of all, read Lean Startup by Eric Ries. That will get you started if you actually do it.

Secondly, the specific technique that might work in your case is to invest a trivial amount of money using ad words or some other advertising vehicle to produce an ad for your non-existent product. Have a landing page for the ad that describes the product. Harvest email addresses of people who are interested in applying for access to your "beta" on that page. That will help you gauge whether or not people are actively looking for a solution to the problem you think you could solve.

Expect to iterate.
A very long term project could be to eventually make the Rust compiler full Rust based.

However that would not make much sense from engineering point of view, too many years of optimization algorithms, tooling and supported architectures have been spent into gcc and LLVM backends just to thrown them away in name of purity.

I live in Germany and I would probably just go to the next hospital, wait for a while, get x-rayed and see a doctor. In this situation I wouldn't even have to think about money and I don't have to search for the best provider because they are all good. Even if I wouldn't go to a hospital, every doctor who can treat you usually can do an x-ray at his practice. I cannot imagine how it must feel in such a system in urgent cases.

There’s a strong negative correlation between latitude and crime. One hypothesis is that people further away from the equator spend more time inside annually, and thus have less opportunity for crime.

> If it had been a cop doing this

Then it would not be an even similar case. It is a feature of many civilised societies that we tend to forgive misdemeanors by minors as 'part of growing up' and 'learning right from wrong'. Should it be a crime because this autistic kid happened to be good at his prank?

Foucault's argument and its less literate successors (eg the one about the master's house and tools) are ultimately reactionary and quietist. Not to mention historically nonsenical, but that never got in Michel's way when he was on a rhetorical roll.

You're confusing linear regression and least squares. (They're connected but not identical in that way.) Least squares gives the closest orthagonal (perpendicular) projection onto the range of the matrix. The slide is correct.
Side anecdote, but a number of people at my company were making fun of a candidate who used labels to break out of loops in JS. “Those don’t exist” they joked. I remember thinking, “I thought they did,” but didn’t say anything. The sad part is I really like the people I work with and they are generally smart engineers. There is just such an arrogance to the interview process in tech it is almost unreal. I haven’t noticed a lack of qualified candidates in tech, just a lack of humility in many of the gatekeepers. Whiteboard pissing contests.

I disagree. Programming, however we try to deceive ourselves, is not engineering. Too many things in our craft are unknown, untested, and a matter of instinct and aesthetic. We are blacksmiths, carpenters, craftsmen, blending knowledge and art to produce tools and furniture for the use of others.

Sometimes the artistry is only visible in the fit and workings of the inner cogs, but it is there, and it is, in an infinite space of equivalent programs, an emotional, unobjective stab, a crude sketch, at some platonic truth that will always be outside of our reach.
Thank you :)

My biggest motivation is to provide a simple explanation of the cryptocurrency technology.

No offense meant to other writers but most articles in this space are a difficult read. They are written from the cryptocurrency technology perspective. I have seen engineers who have struggled to understand the inner working of a cryptocurrency. Even someone like me who has read about bitcoin since 2010 finds it difficult. I had to read tons of posts and stackoverflow questions to try and get this post correct.

And in that case I can just imagine how much difficult it is for someone whose understanding of technology is moderate or low.

Just like you most of my tech friend point out that my posts are long with lots of example :)
But the finance guys at my company still berate me saying these posts moderately difficult.

So, I try to cut down information and make posts smaller. Actually this is my longest post yet at 12 minutes read on medium.

Now I have been reading on Segwit which is already activated on Bitcoin. While I think I have a good handle on the proposed savings I don't think I can explain it with concrete examples. In that regard Lightning network is like years away.

No, my point was merely that dismissing that accusation because it’s ridiculous doesn’t mean you can assume there is no merit to the point at all. I have no idea whether the system is as employee-hostile as the sources indicate.

Most pranks can be prosecuted as crimes. Broad disturbing the peace and harassment statutes apply to most.

Here's 3 that come to mind:

- toilet-papering a house/tree

- ding-dong-ditch (harassment, possibly even rising to a hate crime in the right circumstances)

- flaming shit on doorstep (obviously)

Whether something is a crime or not is a pretty bad test for whether a child should be held accountable as an adult for the act.

" it is not ACID the worst possible way" Vow what a great revelation.

"Cassandra is not row level consistent,[21] meaning that inserts and updates into the table that affect the same row that are processed at approximately the same time may affect the non-key columns in inconsistent ways. One update may affect one column while another affects the other, resulting in sets of values within the row that were never specified or intended."

This is not true. Cassandra is row level atomic but I guess it also depends on the version you use maybe. Can you talk about which version and provide a test that satisfies your assertion ?

"there are several things that needs to be tuning (like GC) that is not trivial to do". Do you know that Go's GC is way less advanced than Java GC as of today? This is admitted by Google's Go team lead.

I guess these days people can make up whatever they want without providing any valid tests that prove their assertions. It all comes down is either love & hate of a programming language or someone wants to put some fancy sounding tools in their resume!!

2. Starfighter is one of 3 companies I've been involved in publicly on HN. The first one did pretty good. We're doing pretty good with this one. Thanks for asking! :)

3. There's an obvious difference between the question of whether something's a viable business (CTFs as contingency recruiters: probably not!) vs. whether an argument represents any kind of popular sentiment.

4. Do upvotes validate my argument? No. But they would seem to me to rebut your claim to speak for "most developers".

Just want to point out that basing perceptions of social attitudes on fellow software engineers isn't exactly a great metric.

You specifically mention what the average Joe in the US thinks, which sharply contrasts with the global, left-leaning attitudes that are prevalent with US software developers.

Did you ever venture to the countryside in China? Or speak with people outside of software?

China has a long history of not only racism, but a potent classism where urban families are considered far superior to rural families. They even regulate which rural people can move to cities. The fact that you don't appear to be aware of this is odd.
