Yup, the military has this exact same use case, I think that's where all the funding for Boston dynamics big dog (and probably others) came from in the first place.
It's because they know that what they are doing, collecting up everyones cellular data WITHOUT WARRANTS...IS ILLEGAL!

My bikes keep getting stolen. From a locked garage.

Bike rental services are a good solution to that problem! (Well at least from my point of view, heh)
> Ranters gonna rant, haters gonna hate, but productive people will use whatever floats their boat.

I agree in general, but it's not just whatever floats their boat. Every real project has its yak-shaving aspects. Productive people pick languages (plus libraries and ecosystems) that will handle for them as much of the yak-shaving as possible, leaving them free to work on the problem they're actually trying to solve.
A robot being able to complain that something is very difficult for it (using more energy for something than it needs to for example) would be really cool!
David Fowler (The architect of this API) is brilliant! The Pipelines API turned out better than I ever expected.
Signed overflow was made undefined so that it could do whatever the CPU naturally did, not so that the compiler could delete huge chunks of supposedly dead code.

In the old days, it thus wasn't truly undefined. It was undefined by the language, but you could just look in the CPU documentation to see what would happen. There was some crazy behavior in the old days, but nothing you wouldn't expect from looking at the CPU documentation.

These days, nobody is shipping a C99 or newer compiler for any CPU with weird integers. Everything is twos complement, without padding or trap values. All of that "undefined" stuff should thus be entirely compatible across all modern C compilers.

When they say "prison" what does that mean in the case of a minor? Do they even have prisons for minors?

You have to remember the GPU described in the article were in 2010 - 2012 era. And it was iGPU in Atoms. They key to GPU performance were drivers, and Intel in those days won't very active in GPU drivers development. At the time updating GPU drivers for notebook were problematic. Lot of issues left unresolved, and Mozilla blacklist lot of Intel drivers from GPU acceleration. And they (purposely?) make a mess of dGPU graphics switching.

It wasn't until Broadwell, and later Iris Graphics era, which I think is 2012 / 2013 before things starting to pick up. Intel actively optimising their drivers for stability, OpenGL, and Performance.

AMD's Graphics Advantage is that their drivers are better tested. Over the near three decades of history has taught us, the GPU hardware is absolutely nothing with out top notch drivers support. Intel I740, Matrox, 3Dfx, S3 Verge, 3Dlabs, PowerVR......

A Test Pyramid Heresy

How so? Compilers aren't magic, you can - by definition (Assuming the current state machine style (no AI or nuthin') of compilers ) - you can just manually compile it.

Compilers are clever, but humans can also be really clever: They know how to think - You can change the algorithm entirely.

For practical reasons however (Premature optimisation also), trust your compiler.
> Many roboticists think that there is unlikely to be a universal solution to grasping.

Already found: "Universal robotic gripper based on the jamming of granular material" http://www.pnas.org/content/107/44/18809

> Here we demonstrate a completely different approach to a universal gripper. Individual fingers are replaced by a single mass of granular material that, when pressed onto a target object, flows around it and conforms to its shape. Upon application of a vacuum the granular material contracts and hardens quickly to pinch and hold the object without requiring sensory feedback. We find that volume changes of less than 0.5% suffice to grip objects reliably and hold them with forces exceeding many times their weight.

This is your fault you idiot.

The article isn't about some automated service looking at your e-mail. It's about actual humans reading it. Big difference.

Render | San Francisco, CA | Software Engineers | Full-time | Visa | Onsite

When deploying applications in production, developers are forced to pick between two extremes: expensive yet simplistic platforms like Heroku, or complicated, do-it-all-yourself services like AWS. By contrast, Render makes it easy to get up and running quickly but also allows applications to scale and increase in complexity over time, preventing a transition to DIY infrastructure.

Our goal is to completely free up developers and teams from managing infrastructure. This will ultimately improve all software and enable entirely new kinds of applications.

We're building products that abstract over complexity and minimize cognitive overhead for our users. This requires careful thought, high creativity and a deep understanding of application requirements in production. Our stack is React, GraphQL, Go, Kubernetes and Postgres, but we don't require prior experience with any of them. We're looking for people with high integrity, low ego, and an insatiable drive to learn.

We're serving live applications in production and building out our founding engineering and design teams in SF. The company is backed by top venture funds and former CTOs of VMware and Dropbox.

I'm the founder and would love to hear from you at anurag@render.com.
This is exactly what I was thinking, too. I remember well the days that AMD was beating Intel to market in 800MHz clock speeds for a fraction of the cost of an Intel chip and lots of people were assuming AMD was going to overtake Intel. But for some reason the chips were either overhyped or just weren't able to gain mindshare of the average PC consumer on a large scale and AMD's stock price has seemingly been frozen in time.

I'm not sure whether or not the latest jabs at Intel and the prophecies of their inevitable decline are accurate this time or seeded in people's hate of older giant tech companies, but this is not the first time I've read of Intel's demise. Just going by earnings its at best premature to cede the future to AMD. I will say that BK's abrupt departure did raise some concerns in my mind.

You know, my first thought on seeing you use "principle" was to correct the spelling. I was taught to remember that one based on the mnemonic "the principal is your pal", but that seems as far away from the truth as possible at the moment.

I agree with banning for life. This is absolutely insane. I really hope this case is just to point out how insane this actually is, but man.. That poor kid.
Washing out means that a clinical trial is halted for lack of efficacy. It means the drug candidate in question is safe to ingest, but also doesn't work to treat the condition it was designed to treat. "work" is defined as having met or exceeded predefined clinical endpoints; e.g., "cognitive assessment improves by x% on average in a cohort of Y thousand patients", or "blood cholesterol levels reduced by Z%" or whatever.

It's important and sad to note, too, that the clinical targets of most modern alzheimers drug candidates are comparatively low bars. We're not shooting for a cure, we're shooting for things like "reliably slows down cognitive decline by 6 months", and we can't even do that.
Memmove is frequently cited as an example of a standard library function that can't be implemented using only standard C. It's incorrect, though: the way to do memmove using standard C is to use malloc to allocate a temporary buffer.

But the whole question is not terribly relevant. When memmove is provided as part of the C implementation it can rely on non-portable platform behaviour just fine. There's no rule that you have to implement libc using only standard C facilities.
"... imagine someone has 10 million dollars banked, and earns 175,000 a year in dividends. S/he pay 26-35k in taxes ..."

I am imagining this and I immediately also imagine that quite a lot of income and/or capital gains taxes were paid during the accumulation phase of that $10M.

I suppose she could have inherited $10M tax free[1] but whoever bequeathed it to her then paid the taxes on it during the earning/accumulation phase.

My point is, comparing the present day taxes on dividends on a nest egg to the income taxes someone else is paying is not a very useful comparison. All else being equal it should not be interesting or provocative to see the income taxes exceed the nest egg taxes in an example like yours.

Fascists were not beaten by facts. That is just not how it works, sadly. Where fascism is winning, it is because emotions like fear and belonging and glory beat facts by mile.

Books are not necessary factual. Fascists love pro-fascist books.
No. It's a way to say "They (the author) have beliefs that don't match experience".

Whether that's a valid claim in this case or not, I will not comment on. But that's what the expression means.

It's hilarious to me that this exact same newspaper ran an article less than a week ago showing that by all available measures, homelessness is improving and there are fewer people on the streets in San Francisco. (https://projects.sfchronicle.com/sf-homeless/2018-state-of-h...)

Just like our current national hysteria around crime or immigration, the notion that homelessness is somehow getting worse, or that San Francisco is doing a bad job handling it, are flatly contradicted by the data. San Francisco is in fact doing a better job handling homelessness than most of its peer cities in the United States.

Readers of Hacker News should go to the data first. Matier & Ross have a long history of this kind of ugly sensationalism and it has no place here.
I'm sorry, You completely mischaracterize what happened that morning. The contractor responsible for the solid rocket booster flat out said "do not fly this love morning". NASA actually went to his supervisor and for his supervisor to sign off on the flight (the particular contractor who refused to sign off said " that was the single smartest decision of his life").

The following is a link to his book, but I actually heard a presentation from him.

This is an interesting point as I known a guy that made over $300k working at a bank. They lived in one of the nicest suburbs of Chicago, and were living paycheck to paycheck. They had a chef at home, wife didn't work and so on.

He ended up loosing his job and could not make any of the payments. They lost their house, cars, and got divorced shortly after.

However, they are still in a different situation than the people that get sucked into those terrible high interest loans. He could literally get a new job as his educated and be back to making over $100k. A person that does not have any skills or education will have a much harder time trying to bounce back. As everything is more expensive when you are making minimum wage.
Out of curiosity, what makes you think journalism was more factual before?

Also, lack of opinion section does not mean no opinion. Opinion manifests through topic selection, what groups you focused at, which issues you talk about. Opinion section is just something that is cheap to produce and you know what you are getting.
They're from different objects, so it's not meaningful (according to the standard) to compare them. That's what makes it UB.

Flatiron School (now part of WeWork) | Software Engineers, esp. Seniors | New York, NY (NYC) | ONSITE | FULL-TIME

Hi, I'm the Engineering Director on the Product/Engineering team at the Flatiron School. I joined the team about four months ago as part of a general scaling up of the team (we're currently about 25 devs and growing) and love it. We mostly work on Learn, a modern Learning Management System that runs the school's online coding bootcamps. This place is an unusually kind and nurturing place, and we have a mission that we believe in. A number of the developers originally went through the Flatiron School, so the level of knowledge and empathy with users is unusually high.

We're looking for developers with a wide range of backgrounds, especially people with a few years under their belts and an interest in mentoring less-experienced developers. We value diversity of all kinds and would love to benefit from having many perspectives. I can speak from my own experience as a parent that it's a family-friendly place with pretty good core hours, flexibility around timing, good health benefits, friendliness toward dialing in (though we generally prefer to work together in-person) and just a generally nice vibe.

As far as the tech stack goes, we mostly use Ruby/Rails, Elixir/Phoenix and Javascript/React and we're moving to AWS. I wouldn't get too hung up on having all of these particular items on your resume. What's most important to me is having some ways of solving problems collaboratively on a team. There's all kinds of cool problems to work on here as we scale our user base, course offerings, team and our infrastructure, and there will be plenty of new problems that will require adaptability, openness and an ability to communicate.

We have some job listings at https://flatironschool.com/careers/, but if you're interested in finding out more, applying or just want to chat, please drop me a line at paul@flatironschool.com.
