Correct - it's an argument for broadening the title.

Calling out a specific language as not being something leads one to ask, "Well what is?". In this case, there is no qualifying alternative, so the title might as well be, "There is no low-level language for CPUs".

Do you believe that we are manipulated to be addicts? There are real addicts with genetic reasons for being so and then there are the rest of us that can control our behavior. Our behavior can be manipulated but we are not going to be addicts from that. More of a waking up and tuning out rather than a withdrawal I would think but this isn't me arguing, just commenting as its an interesting topic and I value your input on it.
> They have to experience enough negative effects to reach out for help themselves.

I think, when it comes to social media, the harmful effects are much more subtle and harder to identify and articulate than those for addictive drugs. There's a benefit in pointing out and elucidating them, as well and the mechanisms by which they operate. For instance, until someone told me, I didn't realize the Facebook app works just like a slot machine, except it dispenses small amounts of social affirmation and novelty rather than small amounts of money. I just hadn't made the connection.

Microcode is the new low level language. ;-)

But, to be fair, C is not that low level. In fact, when I first learned it, it was considered a high-level language because CPUs we used it with didn't have functions with parameters, only subroutine jumps.

C reaches into the realm of low-level languages because it allows you to arbitrarily read from and write to the "state" of the context you live in, but it also allows you to express constructs that have no counterpart even on the most complex CPU architectures (even if they have things that disagree fundamentally with C's point of view).

Show HN: What's in My Picture V2.0 – Find out what's in your picture
It's because the hardware isn't any cheaper for Apple to have manufactured. They still arbitrarily inflate the prices, which makes it seem like 16gb would be much cheaper to manufacture than 64gb, but that is only a facade.
It's not irrelevant. Ada provided safe, production ready language for systems
programming long before Rust, so this part of explaination is simply false.
There are much worse attack vectors if the entire connection is unencrypted, though.

You can tell people they're wrong without being a douche about it. That's all I'm saying.
SEEKING WORK -- Joliet, IL -- remote/freelance

I have 16 years of experience building trading related systems for both domestic and international financial markets. I also have created custom back-end frameworks used by various government agencies. While most of my experience has been directed towards building low-latency, reliable, and accurate back-end systems, I have also been getting into Android development as well.

I'm comfortable working with existing systems or helping to design and develop new ones.

If you think I can be of value to your business, I would love to have a conversation and discuss further.

It's way more than 1k. I did a contract with a company once and looked to move to FTE. My rate was about $70/hr with an informally enforced cap at a bit over 40hr per week.

They submitted a total cost of employee as part of their employment request to HR. Their bog standard expenditure for an employee sitting right next to me was 50k/yr higher than I was making (my 1099 rate was the official standard for the position and not negotiated). $15/hr less (given unofficial hour cap), but with good insurance (group rates are also lower for the same insurance compared to individual), bonuses, vacation, 401k, etc.

Most companies simply refuse to pay out the same for a contractor as they would for an employee.

A large programmer union could do wonders for the industry.
It's not cheap, but if you run it on a single server, you can use it for as many projects as you like.

I think the article's diagnosis part hits home. But it's preaching to the choir. Most ordinary users won't see it that way.

Become part of our fast-growing team that is developing ReadID (www.readid.com). ReadID is our identity verification solution, which is used by international companies like Rabobank, Volksbank, Norske Bank and Worldreach Canada.

ReadID consists of two parts: ReadID MRZ and ReadID NFC. ReadID MRZ makes it possible to scan the so-called Machine Readable Zone of ePassports and similar using our own machine learning-based Optical Character Recognition technology. ReadID NFC verifies the authenticity of passports and similar identity documents by reading the RFID chip embedded in these documents using the NFC capability of common smartphones. ReadID can be used in face2face use cases, e.g., by police officers in the street, or online, e.g., for mobile consumer onboarding for banks. ReadID is integrated by our customers in their own apps and backend systems using APIs. ReadID is available in three versions: client-only, client-server and SaaS. With ReadID we reduce identity fraud while enabling digitalizing. ReadID won the Accenture Innovation Award 2016.

Hi All,

What's In My Picture is a way for people to gain insight on what their images contain without seeing them. It allows people to detect human pose key points, face orientation and eye gaze direction, objects, nudity, text, celebrities, landmarks, age, gender, emotions, and captions their image. It also provides a feedback functionality to measure the level of success of each image processed in order to do further improvements to the results.

Check out the update and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

I'm not sure it's possible for JSON-LD to go beyond the descriptive power of XML, because XML is so general, flexible and powerful (and you could cretainly represent an RDF document in XML) -- the big upgrade there IMO is that it stays in relatively human-readable form (though depending on the human, so does XML).

Ditto on the huge disappointment with the cobbled together SDKs when HATEOAS/JSON-LD-fluent applications represent a more robust future that could have been the current timeline.

Also, it's a shame that hyper schema couldn't reconcile with JSON-LD. JSON-LD is the one I'm leaning towards using at the moment, because of it's early consideration of things like multiple languages.

It's reassuring (?) to see the mention of the RAML/Swagger situation being a mess from someone else. I actually liked RAML more than the Swagger specification, but Mule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule_(software)) left a bad taste in my mouth once upon a time, when a team I was on was deciding how best to create an ESB. I choose to go with "OpenAPI" (AKA Swagger 3.0) for my projects going forward not for that single personal reason but rather due to the sheer amount of people that have gotten behind Swagger -- they seem to have won the mindshare battle, if not the war.

I have picked a lot of things I thought were cleaner/technologically superior/whatever that lost the mindshare war in my lifetime, I'm trying to cut down.
> And it's probably just me but I find the standard Toyota Prius more comfortable than the black cabs (esp due to engine noise and vibration).

It's true, a lot of the older black cabs were loud and didn't have great suspension. I'm starting to see a few of these (http://www.theelectrictaxi.co.uk/) on the road now, which will at least be much quieter - not sure how the ride is but I'd hope it's better too.
You make good points - if we're just talking about semantics, then yes C is the closest portable language to x86 or arm and is low-level in that sense. But on the other hand, semantics is not always the only important thing: performance is sometimes important also, and there these low-level details matter. The architecture does its best to hide them from the user, but the abstraction is very leaky.

For example, when writing high-performance CPU-bound code it's usually important to keep in mind how wide cache lines are, but C doesn't expose this to the programmer in a natural way.

>The headline feature for Fedora 28 Server is the inclusion of the new Modular repository. This lets you select between different versions of software like NodeJS or Django, so you can chose the stack you need for your software. Interested? Check out the documentation for using modules [LINK BELOW]. Also of note: 64-bit ARM (Aarch64) is now a primary architecture for Fedora Server.

Modular repos is cool. I love this idea. Especially useful if you work with node.js....as it moves so fast.

Legitimate interests and consent should be the two processing grounds that you rely on as a last resort here.

As to your point, legitimate interests requires a balancing act between your interests and others' interests and so is by its nature going to be uncertain.

If you are looking to rely on legitimate interests, you should look to document your interests that you think are being served through the processing, and also check to see if any other processing bases may be more suitable to achieve your objective. The aim is to at least have a defensible position behind your use of legitimate interests.

Here an example of Facebook listing out their legitimate interests in making use of data:

To me the argument's akin to suggesting that Robert Wadlow wasn't tall, because giraffes are taller than Robert Wadlow.

When the spectrum of the context is unambiguous, that's not an argument for finding a way to make it ambiguous.
>> Media Consumption Strike [list from OP]

> Seems kind of extreme to me.

Not really. Literally the next paragraph after that list is this:

> Don’t be a fundamentalist about the rules. Rules are meant to be broken. If it’s art, the rules are more loose; if its corporate media, more strict. Cinema, literature, sci-fi, comic books, indy games: as long as these types of works are not connected with our professional, interpersonal, or political responsibilities, use them in moderation. In general, make sure media consumption is done with more moderation than usual. The goal is to break your habits.
I always just use the phone number approach -- give them <local-area-code> 867-5309 an when they ask "yeah, I'm Jenny". Works every time. Last time at the Walgreens they tried to give me a $5 discount but I had to know the zip code assigned to the account so was like "nah, next time."

I've used a number of the services over the years, and I agree. There are a visibly different category of work; a kind of blend of piecework employee and contractor - and should be properly classified as such.

In the past they were. Congress loves celebrities as much as anyone. Play a doctors on TV and congress will ask you medical questions, and pass laws based on your "medical expertise". As a result when Hollywood asks congress listens more than they should.

However there is something far more important to Congress than celebrities or money: votes. Hollywood and congress knows that there are a significant number of voters who are not happy about copyright extensions and are watching. They know very well that if a copyright extension passes some of them will lose their job, and that is not something few are willing to risk.
> 99%+ of the code that matters is written in C

I think a better way of stating this is "99% of the code that matters is written in C, or in a language designed with a similar target architecture as C in mind". Certainly a lot of code that matters is written in C++, Objective-C, and Java, but the same points hold true for all of those.
Depending on your hardware that is still the case. There are plenty of embedded systems where these claims still hold. It's not really C that has changed (though the language has evolved a little bit), it's the hardware that changed and the implementation of the language.

How does this work technically? What prevents use of plaintext http on these domains? The preloading seems like a browser specific feature.
HLSL isn't a low-level language, indeed HL stands for high level. It's not much different than CPU. The runtime compiles down to a standard bytecode, and the driver translates to the GPU's proprietary native code.
>> In a move that was pivotal to his legal case, he requested a transcript of the call

I take advantage of the fact that the companies who seem to be the most frustrating to deal with, are courteous enough to begin each phone call stating that "calls may be recorded." I have a call recording app on my phone and on at least 3 occasions I have had a company immediately escalate a phone call to a person who immediately fixed the problem when I offered to replay a previous phone call back to them. That app probably has the highest value-to-cost ratio of any app on my phone.

edit: I should add that depending on the state, you may be allowed to record simply by virtue of the fact that you are a party to the conversation. Some states do require consent from all parties and how this applies across state lines is poorly defined. That's why I like it when companies tell me they're recording - then I have a green light. Funnily, Verizon once called me, told me they were recording, and then hung up when I said I was too.
