Okay, so they didn’t understand.

Does that preclude us from trying to fix the problem?
It's annoying because people seem to polarize and pick one side or the other which complicates the fact that the truth is more of a mixture.

Russia was hacking and using computational propaganda. But that doesn't mean it was targeting the election. There are many variables and they aren't all mutually exclusive.
Right, I follow what you’re saying. My followup to that is that I think (personally, and what the commenter is saying) that ignorance in the modeling of human behavior both causes and is caused by egocentrism in a feedback loop.

In any case, you disagree with that, so I suppose you are disagreeing with the parent; my interpretation of the parent commenter’s point was that this ignorance you speak of is pretty tightly coupled with innate egocentrism. I don’t think they’d consider that necessarily malicious if they consider it from that framework, whereas you might consider it malicious if the process is egocentric because you disagree with the same relationship; vis-a-vis ignorance and egocentrism.
It sounds like your heart's not in it anymore.

I've seen companies successfully replace CEOs when the founding CEO has been in a similar situation. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. There are CEOs or aspiring CEOs out there that want to run a company that stays small. I think it's worth discussing with your most trusted investors to see if they can find candidates through their networks.

Another thought - have you considered trying to get the company acquihired?
> No AI can decide _what_ to build

Honestly, programmers don't decide either. We build what we are told to build.

> Could it be made better? Of course! Most of it is terrible. There's an infinite amount of work to be done.

Of course, if our objective it to achieve perfection, then there will always be more things to do because we can never achieve perfection. But most of the time "good enough" is good enough.

But I agree with that AI won't be taking programming jobs anytime soon. But AI will certainly put pressure on the number of jobs and wages. As you said, "smart" compilers, debuggers, code analyzer, etc helps increase productivity. But sooner or later, it will eventually hit demand for programmers.

We are living in the golden age of tech. So it's hard to imagine it ever stopping. I think the biggest concern is the wages and prospects. As more and more people get into programming and as the profession gets more and more productive ( AI, tools ), it's inevitable that wages will stall and decline. Hopefully, just not in my lifetime.
The story isn’t about the murder, though, it’s about power. If the novel (and the show) failed to sell you on that, it’s a legitimate complaint.
> python was and still is a good choice - twisted was used to create async services before ajax was a word.

Async was not part of the core language when Node.js was first released. Even today the library ecosystem of Python is fragmented, not everything works asynchronously.
A central theme of Altered Carbon is the effect of immortality, wealth and power on parent-child relationships and social hierarchy.

One of the executive producers is David Ellison, son of billionaire Larry Ellison.

There's some overlap with virtual reality themes from Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. Dichen Lachman has a role in both shows.
I admit I am not qualified to make my statement with authority, it’s simply my opinion. I’d be most appreciative if someone with significant military management experience weighs in.
It would be a civil not criminal case if it ever came to that and they would have to prove actual damages. Pursuing it by way of setting an example to employees could very well backfire.

That would work but incarceration is an unscalable solution. Some CA stats:

- $71k/person/year
- 130,000 inmates
- 135% of capacity
- highest rate of incarceration in the world

We're maxed out - and all this doesn't even solve the root issues of mental illness and poverty. We need alternative ideas with better ROI.
>JS fans said the same thing years ago, claimed that it didn't need classe

Well, I didn't make that argument.

Nope.
Yea but we don't put them in a building full of other violent offenders to rehabilitate them. We do that to get rid of them with zero care for whatever they will do once they serve their sentence because, yet again, we can get rid of them and whatever damage they do while they are outside of the prison is considered unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

Siderant: I find it funny how humans work. On a very personal level, we love each other (you <> your parents or significant other), but the further the connection goes to other people the less we care. Whereas if we cared about everyone in a very loving way, we would probably not get rid of people we don't like.
I personally believe we will see artificial general intelligence demos in 2018 or 2019. They will be general but not initially have anywhere near the same level of capacity as animals or humans so people may deny they are intelligent. But by 2020 or 2021 most will not deny it. Within a few years of training, high level tasks like human equivalent AI programmers will be possible.

This is speculation obviously. Let me try to explain why I think it is so close.

The limitations and problems of neural networks, deep learning, etc. for creating AGI have been well documented. However, for each of these problems, there are successful projects addressing them. Things like capsule networks (Hinton), distributed training on shared experience (Deep Mind), fast online learning with time-based animal-like networks (Ogma).

At the same time, the advanced neural network researchers have become familiar with the existing body of AGI work. They are building their networks into virtually embodied or real-bodied robots that have fully general inputs and outputs and training them in varied environments.

Some generality has already been demonstrated. Based on the progress made so far it seems likely abstraction, depth of cognitive ability etc. will be increased as there are more innovations and integration of existing ones.

The reason the timeframe is relatively short is because of the exciting progress so far, the number of actual geniuses working on it, massive investments, improvements in hardware, and social expectation. The world now believes again this is possible which means there is an explosion of people working on it and ultimately those are two of the biggest factors pushing this into reality.

If tools are not released by researchers within a few years then I expect someone to release a tool or game online or on Steam etc. with powerful built-in AGI.
Look at me: why attention-seeking is the defining need of our times
I would say the requirements of the functionality you have to provide define what kind of library it is. It's a very different thing if it's a raw framebuffer, OpenGL context, Carbon API, a terminal or something like WASM.
Interesting. I see, thanks. From your list Ember stands out, was not expecting that. Rails and Ember integration looks painful? Maybe using Rails 5 and API mode is the way to go.
First time seeing tmuxp and this sounds pretty interesting.

> tmuxp helps you manage tmux workspaces.

> Built on a object relational mapper for tmux. tmux users can reload common workspaces from YAML, JSON and dict configurations like tmuxinator and teamocil.

I've always wanted the ability to cross sync my projects and sessions across IDEs, particularly with Sublime with its projects and then one to many workspaces per project. A Sublime-tmuxp bridge would be amazing.
"If people own land"

I limit my comment to that. Truth is that..
1. Your military secure the borders of what all knows as USA. 2. You have defined land area.
3. And you have a certain number of people living there within.

Now divide your lanarea with number of people, and see how much land everybody has the right to.

You cannot OWN land. You can secure it.
To OWN lan you have to have a proof of origin of the land.
Nobody has. As the land is much older than your relatives way way back.
People try to avoid this and manipulate "laws" to be able to own land, which is just criminal.

Your land should be owned by all of you.
It is a fedaral issue.
A State defines often as something evil. Thats the rich 1%'ers propaganda and thei dreams.

A State in you case is Federal USA. And it should keep records of the land, and everybode should arrend, hire, their birth right. It is simply only that way you can "own" land.

You may find this rediculous... but it is the truth.
In my country there is 9 million people on a secured land of 445000km2. Gives me about 10 footbolls field side by side of land. I also have kid and a wife that has the same as I.

If the world would be managed by the truth.
Fears of global crackdown fail to dampen cryptocurrency interest
>Who's "we" in this context?

Homo sapiens. The global fertility rate has more than halved over the last 50 years. The developed world now has a birth rate substantially below replacement. Birth rate in the developing world is falling precipitously, matching the rate of decline that happened in the developed world 50 years ago.

This isn't a blip. It isn't speculation. It's an undeniable and epoch-defining change in how our species reproduces. The age of Malthus is over.

god that guy is good at his job
If you develop for an audience where you do not know every of your end users, i.e for the generic public, i would argue you can never say it will not be used by blind people (and hence have to develop for it).

I was talking about app developers that build applications for jobs that require sight because of the nature of the job. Say a medical diagnostic application or airplane (simulator). You have to develop for the color blind, but for the completely blind, not so much. When selecting an UI toolkit I do not have to put that requirement up top.
>Even with cooling down the apartment to 20°C with open windows all night, and closed windows and window blinds all day, the apartment would be back at 28°C when returning after work.

what was the outside temperature? I live in a fairly normal, cheaply-built and poorly-insulated canadian house without AC and in order for my house to get up to 28C by the end of the day it's got to be about 35C outside. It seems hard to believe that a building specifically designed to be "passive" could perform worse.
"Reference source" is how Microsoft has named their license that has those restrictions, and seems like a reasonable term.
Why you need to do that with .c files? You can just drop the .c/.h pair into the same place as you would put the single .h file and the rest of your C/C++ files and use it like that.
Ask HN: Mobile Application Survey
My background: Proficient with angular/backend/frontend/database web/REST API development using Java ecosystem but in past have dabbled with Swift and built beginner iOS app as well (using Udacity course)

My goal: Build a (yet another) language learning application for languages spoken in India. Application will be heavy with audio/photos and possibly video.

Budget: I will build this in my spare time (I have a programming day job)

My questions:
- Should I build it in iOS or Android?
- Should it be native app or using react native or something similar
- Should all media all be bundled with app so that no internet connectivity is required while using app?
- Or should audio/video be streamed from backend - which will require connectivity to internet?
- should it be a free or paid app?
- is there already available text-to-speech apis/library for Indian languages or how I can build one? Any pointers highly appreciated!

Thanks
You say this:

> To put it simply, you need to accept that there are people who made good choices as you did, and aren't successful despite their hard work and good choices.

I 100% disagree. If you make good decisions and work hard you'll be more successful than you would have been without doing that. If you study something with economic value, you'll get to participate in that value (if you're good).

I've never seen someone who is actually good at what they do (if it's something that's valued economically -- I've seen plenty of poor but skilled musicians for instance) live in destitution. Not once.

> There are a lot of people that don't have the means to "become a good developer".

There are people who don't have the mental capacity to do it yes, but I accept that and have no problem with it. We can't all be successful, utopias are a fantasy. I'm talking about the people with the capability to be successful. They should work hard and not give a moment's thought to anyone telling them to "check their privilege". It's a pointless exercise, you don't owe anyone an apology for doing well.
Copy pasting from their website:

About one-third of probationers and parolees fail the terms of their supervision. Over three-quarters of parolees are re-arrested within five years, and over half return to prison. High failure rates for people on probation and parole—whether for new offenses, revocations, or individuals who abscond from supervision—result in increased crime, crowded prisons and jails, and strained public budgets. Indeed, every single one of the seventeen states that have undertaken justice reinvestment since 2010 has found probation or parole revocations to be an important driver of their growing prison populations. And despite a variety of local, state, and Federal initiatives over the last two decades, failure rates for supervised individuals have not meaningfully fallen.

Why Swift Certain and Fair? Because—if the conditions are right—a SCF program can take high-risk individuals in your jurisdiction and substantially reduce their drug use, revocation and re-arrest rates, and the subsequent reliance on incarceration.

Swift: SCF programs deliver a sanction immediately upon detection of a violation, which is critical in changing behavior. Responding swiftly also supports perceptions of the fairness of the program, reinforcing that element of SCF programs.

Certain: The consistency and predictability of punishments make the consequences of bad behavior clear to the offender, reinforcing the need to make better decisions and change behavior. An essential role is played by the clearly-defined behavioral contract with the offender—a tool that has repeatedly been proven to increase perceptions about the certainty of punishment.

Fair: The clear demarcation of the offenders’ new supervision conditions and the opportunity for a fresh start allow the offender to regain their sense of self-control. The contract enhances the perceived fairness of any subsequent punishment; this perception of fairness is further supplemented by the sparing rather than harsh level of punishment upon violation, which additionally limits disruption of employment and other non-criminal routines and relationships.
Not everyone is told what to build. I‘m generally not. There is some direction and sometimes I implement specific features that were requested. Even then there is a huge gap between the need to have the feature and the nitty gritty details - and I‘m not even talking about implementation details.

Studies show that things like three strike laws do reduce crime rates. But, for example in California, it costs $70k per year to jail them. Intensive outpatient therapy costs half as much. If we moved to two strikes and then mandatory high expensive therapy it could be more humans and cost effective.

MECSA: assess the security of email communication between providers
Haven't read the book because the back cover made it sound pretty cookie-cutter. The show is surprisingly good, good cinematography, some nice visual ideas, good cast, overall a very solid cyberpunk-noir world is built. Ok, a lot of the visual design is pretty recycled - 45 degree angles make things scifi right?- and unfortunately the main plot underlying it all seems to be the usual "Rich sociopaths vs the rest of the world" dystopia that hasn't been thought out well enough to make it interesting. But despite having little real foundation, the edifice they've built has kept me interested so far.
I hope some Wisconsinites read this and better understand the deal their government is making with Foxconn. Investing in traditional manufacturing is risky if you expect those jobs to pay off over more than a couple years.

Play poker once a week for small, but real money. Study the game (read Sklansky, Harrington, do the MIT poker school).

After a year, you get used to the idea of a bet where you'll win some, lose some, but know on average you'll do better than OK.

Investing is gambling, but with an edge, since it's not a zero-sum game. Also you have to be patient, you are almost certainly not going to consistently beat the market short term, but you should do better long term than not investing.

If that's not for you, then just buy target date funds, balanced funds, structure your own balanced ETF portfolio, or pay a robo-advisor or human advisor to invest for you.

Perhaps the musl author is referring to Sean Barrett's comments about strict aliasing on his web page: http://nothings.org/

Fun rant by the owner of the company Sean Barrett works for: http://web.archive.org/web/20160309163927/http://robertoconc... (and while we're on the subject, additional UB links: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14170585)

As for how you navigate these files, you use a text editor that understands that you're working with code and not just a list of chars. Example post about this from last time Nuklear was discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11532001

Personally, for Visual Studio I use DPack (http://www.usysware.com/dpack/CodeBrowser.aspx); in Xcode, I use its methods dropdown (Ctrl+6); in VSCode, I use its methods dropdown (Ctrl+2); and in Emacs I use a thing I wrote ages ago that grabs the imenu names list and presents it in an ido menu in the minibuffer. And there are other options for other editors. The key thing is just to unshackle yourself from PgUp/PgDn/Find/mouse wheel.
That's reasonable, as long as a developer, once familiar with a toolkit like this one, doesn't go on to use it for applications with a less restricted audience.

I would recommend 2D graphics with a framebuffer. Drawing sprites, scrolling, drawing lines. You get to play with loops, pointers etc... Plain C, no extra library besides initializing a window and copying the buffer into a displayed window (SDL for example), a few calls. You could also save to a simple graphic format. Learning the standard library would come next, you could save to a file etc...
