> Just curious - have you actually tried selling art?

Indeed. But I understand what you're seeing in my comment.

As a restatement: your art's marketability is firstly dependent on your style/genre/technique being in fashion. Generative art is a curiosity, but still isn't in fashion. You and I are probably not the ones to bring it into fashion; that'll happen when/if somebody well-connected pitches their work's story very well or a collector/curator pitches a their discovery story very well. Presumably, we both have better things to do than position ourselves for that, because it's a lifelong effort and a risky one.

So in the meantime, it's sort of a waiting game where we're left to either do our thing or direct ourselves towards a different style.

That said, stories do matter. But it's not hard to identify them, even for generative art. They just don't become the "good art stories" you're talking about until somebody creates the market and sets a standard.

And pragmatics like reproducibility and constraint absolutely matter, but again, the standard for what that means in generative art will be some collector/curator's discovery as the market develops. It's not the detail we need to worry about, because we can always make our work constrained in the necessary way when the time comes.

I guess what I'm saying is that being an experimental/emerging artist sometimes runs orthogonal to creating a market for our art. Creating that market (by struggling against "main problems") is a lot of work on it's own and takes away from either the making of art or from other parts of life.

And yes, it's frustrating.
I second you and urge everyone to do the tutorial. The problem with Emacs is after you go past the basics. Company or automplete ? Is ido good or bad ? The single fact that the author (which claims to have spend 10 years in Emacs) has spent a day to configure a half baked javascript IDE (which works from the start in VSCode) is sufficient enough to say that Emacs lacks good documentation past the basics.
A Global Biometric ID Is Coming
In France, I did apprenticeship (3 days works, 2 days school) as Software developer, meaning that I did not payed for school, I was actually payed to go to school. And it was full salary, I did that for 3 years.
Got my bachelor, quite a lot of money and 3 years of experience.
So I "began" my life with money, experience and diploma.

It was not prestigious school, nor prestigious diploma, I could have continued for a master, but IMO, I value experience far more than diploma, and where I worked/work also.

So my question is Americans? What's the deal. Same for France too, I guess our profession as developers allow that, I can understand that for some other fields you need prestigious schools and requirements to get hired for a good salary.
Since my other comment was downvoted, here is another example - today conservative panelists on Fox News were calling for video games, and smart phones, to be regulated/banned to prevent gun violence.

I really don't see any kind of innate difference in the amount of regulation actually preferred by either half of america. If someone who downvoted the other comment would like to offer a thoughtful rebuttal or data to support their view I would be happy to consider it.
I'd say we have 3 advantages over pediatricians.

First we often deal with adults who are a bit less susceptible to die very fast than infants, which gives more time.

Second we have the owner's wallet as a set limit. Sometimes you do with what you're allowed, and one can only go that far with a limited panel of tests or when hospitalisation is refused.

Third an animal death is more acceptable than a human, let alone a child.
Author says major new version is coming in a few months.
I'm hyper socially liberal and when it comes to economics I very broadly support free market policies.

If all of the major platforms - monopolies - for social media and general media reach are aggressively conspiring to limit speech based on politics, what you have is not anything resembling freedom. You have censorship in fact.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Google search = near universal platform control by one political ideology (which they've all admitted to over the years), which is now very openly censoring the right wing of politics. The coordinated censorship isn't subtle, they're almost flaunting it at this point.

It's an extremely dangerous concentration of power into one politically aligned monopoly set of corporations. We're seeing the results of that now, as the desire to directly control and influence politics kicks into gear.

If a platform has a very large monopoly position, then they should be legally forced open as a direct pass-through consequence of the first amendment. They should be required to allow all speech (that doesn't involve threats of violence, which isn't speech), or give up their monopoly position.

The Google-China human-rights narrative feels more like human-rights activists know they will get headlines with Google+Human Rights+China right now. The US heavily depends on China for raw materials and manufactured goods which arguably contributes more to China's financial well being than a new search engine. If anything HR activist should be stoking the trade war flame to nerf China even though IMHO free trade does more to spread freedom than isolationism.
Cpp-Taskflow: A New Task-Based Parallel Programming Library Using Modern C++
One could also just move to (northern coastal) California, but that has its own costs.
We are happy to announce Cpp-Taskflow 2.0 - a new major release to help you quickly build large-scale parallel task graphs. With this version, you can enable both static and dynamic tasking in just a few minutes. Visit our GitHub (https://github.com/cpp-taskflow/cpp-taskflow) to learn more.

"Here is the alpc bug as 0day: https://github.com/SandboxEscaper/randomrepo/blob/master/PoC... … I don't fucking care about life anymore. Neither do I ever again want to submit to MSFT anyway. Fuck all of this shit."

So is this person upset because Microsoft wouldn't patch the bug? Or that they didn't want to pay for the information?

Comments seem to reference Apple pays 25k for this type of info.

Can anyone with background give some context here?
Same here. I spent so much time using LyX, and it's a fantastic project - high quality, great documentation. It accompanied all the way through school and I still use it for letters and such.

Even if someone believes Google is biased, they are free to use another news aggregation service. However the President publicly stating that they might be breaking the law seems to me an clear example of a chilling effect.
Here's the exploit description from the writeup .doc file that is included in the .rar file that's hosted on GitHub:

The task scheduler service has an alpc endpoint, supporting the method “SchRpcSetSecurity”.
The prototype looks like this:

long _SchRpcSetSecurity(
[in][string] wchar_t* arg_1, //Task name
[in][string] wchar_t* arg_2, //Security Descriptor string
[in]long arg_3);

Tasks created by the task scheduler will create a corresponding folder/file in c:\windows\system32\tasks.
This function seems to be designed to write the DACL of tasks located there, and will do so while impersonating.

However, for some reason it will also check if a .job file exists under c:\windows\tasks and try to set the DACL
while not impersonating.

Since a user, and even a user belonging to the guests group can create files in this folder, we can simply create
a hardlink to another file (all we need is read access).
Because of the hardlink, we can let the task scheduler write an arbitrary DACL
(see second parameter of SchRpcSetSecurity) to a file of our choosing.

So any file that we have read access over as a user and that system has the write DACL permission for,
we can pivot into full control and overwrite it.
We can do both, making air conditioning more efficient requires time so we should start now.
These Are Their Brains on Silence (2015)
How do you know he's not?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he is or he isn't - my concern is that I don't see a way to prove or disprove either position.

Meanwhile, the entire firearms community is having trouble being demonetized, suppressed, and outright banned from YouTube - a Google product, obviously - for content that is legal and in most cases quite uncontroversial.

With no way of knowing for sure if Google is manipulating News rankings and firm evidence that they are using their power to harass and deplatform based on politically-charged issues elsewhere, why would you trust that they're not?
I wrote a similar article, including a video of how the interactions work: https://medium.com/@eshan/the-case-for-the-stylus-28094a0abd...

I went on to buy a Galaxy Note tablet with the intention of trying to implement it somehow, but I never really got anywhere.
On Windows, I can use ProcessExploror + TotalVirus to check every single running app's exe, dll Signatures against 60+ virus scanner's databases.

It is not perfect but give me a lot of comfort about all the running app, .dll files in my system. It helped me easily detect my kid's game machines of some internet drive by download issues before and work very well to remove those apps/files.

I really wish Google can create something similar for Android. Love to see something similar for iOS, OSX also.

The standard model incorporates special relativity, but you're right in that general relativity doesn't mesh with the standard model.
It wasn't meant to snarky. I would've been under debt too if I wasn't educated about this by my family/friends etc.
I use LyX to write academic papers and really love it. Sure, there are quirks, but it's still makes for a better workflow compared to the alternatives.

Especially important for me:

- track changes, which makes collaboration convenient (especially with less technically-oriented colleagues)

- math typesetting with instant preview

- integrated BibTex support, which makes citing easy

- easy to reference equations, tables, and figures in the text

I might agree with you if news outlets and others were held to the same standard. That said it would be be interesting to know how that changed the landscape. Right now you have the powerful choosing the narrative and the little guy being crushed with the current system. All of that being said, libel and slander offer protections against unfounded smear campaigns against individuals and adds accountability which should be there for everyone. There is not one size fits all to fix things, but the current system is majorly broken and the "don't be evil" company has become the monster they claimed to not be.
From the page, some open-source drama:

> Salmon is a fork of Lamson. [...] Lamson was relicensed under a BSD variant that was revokable. [...] I read that to mean that I could make a contribution but then have said work denied to me because the orginal author didn’t like the colour of my socks. So I went and found the latest version that was available under the GNU GPL version 3.

Does anybody know the backstory here?

Ask HN: How to learn by conducting interviews
Lately, I have been asked to take a lot of interviews to fill a few senior software engineer position, I myself am one. However, it's quite unproductive listening to others projects story where they can easily take credits without going to many details or having to do a hands-on contribution. How do I learn from taking interviews or help me prepare myself for interviews in other companies?

> All the data. The standard model is the best model we've found to explain all experiments observed in the history of physics.

This isn't the full story. The Standard Model does not explain neutrino mass (which we know exists from neutrino oscillations) or dark matter & dark energy. These are very big open questions!
Hi HN,

this is Jakub, founder of Estimote, Inc (YC S13).
Happy to share we have just launched a new device that has BLE, LTE-M/NB-IoT and GPS integrated.

It is fully programmable using JavaScript and simple Web IDE.

The thing I love most about LyX is the "outline" view. Editing plain text e.g. in "vi" has nothing comparable, but neither does Word, or Google Docs, etc., in my opinion.

In the screenshot here https://pauljmiller.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/lyx-main-scr... you can see there is a pane on the left with the document structure. At the bottom of that pane, there are four buttons, the right of which are an up and down button. Those four buttons (left, right, up, down) allow you to take a section of the document and move it around. The up/down change its position relative to other sections, and left/right promote/indent the section (e.g. change heading to sub-heading, or vice versa).

When editing large documents (e.g. > 100 pages), I find this invaluable if I wish to restructure the document.

Awesome that you added the api feature so soon, definitely makes things more interesting, having live data/configs syncing. Congrats on the launch!
Lots of tools for interacting with services via http. Curl, urllib, SOAP etc etc.

Node.js / Python both have very good support for http. Soap etc, run a web server for quick file serving from command line if you want. Dgraoh and other tools can easily be interfaced via http.

Why not leverage all that?
To avoid confusion, relativity must be read as general relativity, the standard model is a relativistic quantum field theory and hence takes special relativity into account.
"Employees have power over the company. They can leave it for another company."

While technically true, in reality, it's not nearly the amount of power that the company has over employees. For one, except in very spectacular cases, a company is not going to fail because one or two employees decided to quit. However, an employee that does not have a job is going to starve and become homeless. Given that the company can take away the ability of the employee to be able to make rent and buy food, but the most the employee can do is jump to another job, I wouldn't extoll this as some equalizing power the workers have over the company.
That seems an odd omission, in that sending mails is easy whether or not you have a custom server.
First you have to figure out what a "consevative story" is. Then, you need to figure out why a search for "Trump News" shouldn't bury partisan hackery on both the left and the right. "News" used to / ought to mean something about a presentation of facts, not some particular party's preference for what it would like the facts to be.

I am really sorry for anyone who has piles of student loan debt. But with that said, there is no reason in my mind for someone to not consider state schools.

State University of New York (of which I'm a graduate) estimates the yearly expense of a commuter student to be $17,320 @ a 4-year school, less if you live at home, buy used books, take the bus, or go to a community college. It's really affordable!

And there are so many opportunities for part time work on college campuses. Everything from grunt work to being a TA to being compensated for working for a department. Hell, I worked in the nursing department as a comp sci student sorting files and research articles for professors.

Along with this, programs like CLEP and DSST exams that let you test out of gen-ed coursework for $180 a pop. The savings can be in the thousands!

So for those students who aren't going to an IVY on a full or partial ride, or those going to med school, I say do some research before committing to a private school. There is absolutely no reason in my mind why somebody ought to take on such massive debt and I am totally against the idea of our government being in the student loan business.
this entire line of reasoning is a new form of denialism. the specific keywords here don't matter, its the "whataboutism" formulation that does. the answer to which of these things we need to do about climate change is "basically 95% of them so enough of the 'well-actually' crap already".
This is a weird argument to have. It raises many questions. Like, it's one thing to suggest maybe libel laws should apply to big tech companies. But do we really want to force them to be "politically neutral?" Such a thing literally does not exist, for one thing; but who gets to define it? For example, can the president order that a given news source appear higher in the rankings? Who decides what deserves to be ranked higher?

Further, what happens if Google were to prove that it's search algorithm were completely politically neutral (which is obviously non-sense because that statement doesn't mean anything.) What do we do then?

Should we also look at New York Times? What if they are posting too many liberal viewpoints?
Not really related to education, but software eng. salaries around the world are far less than what American's make. Not sure if there is any correlation though.

Learn by Doing [Volume 17]: Serverless and Containers
The other day a poster criticized A16Z's Cultural Leadership Fund targeting African American entrepreneurs because a majority of the LPs were of the entertainment business (athletes, musicians, actors). I've seen this criticism of the black community many times: "Why are all your icons in entertainment? Why not scientists, engineers, etc.?" Well, this one story helps to illustrate why. This guy was obviously talented enough to influence steamboat design but could not capitalize on his work by getting a patent because of institutional racism. Imagine what his life would have been like if he got this patent? Maybe he would've started an engineering firm, maybe he would've gone on to study at a formal college or teach? Who knows what influence he may have had?

The opposite to this story is that for many reasons, including the fact that white elites liked to view black artists as entertainment, many successful black people in the 19th & 20th centuries had to make their way out through entertainment or sports. When you have a history of segregated schools (PS. they are still segregated), school values tied to home prices, and other factors, its not hard to see why there are not as many intellectual African Americans at the forefront of American society.
Second this! I know the community is heavily "tactical tech" only (eg: react, js, go, etc) - but I love me some complex finance discussions. [Note: I agree ladders are not complex, but fun to see anyways]
