If you've built Go from source, how were you so surprised about the bootstrapping requirement? Go is also bootstrapped and you need to install a binary Go compiler to build it.

There are others, puppy Linux, Alpine, and slackware to name a few.
It seems to me that Red Hat is based on Fedora. Fedora being the fast release gratis community version and Red Hat the slow release commercial corporate version.

Then CentOS would the community gratis version of Red Hat.
Ask HN: How to get started developing with FPGA?
I've been doing a lot of GPU programming these last few years. Now, FPGAs are being used to accelerate tasks (algo trading, etc, etc).

Recommendations on how to get started with FPGA development? What cards are good? Do they make external cards to plug into a laptop like eGPUs?
Popular SDKs?
Nicely done :-)
> contributing something to their tribe or society is an important part of a complete human being.

contribution can be made via arts and science, rather than making up pointless work or work the person cannot enjoy.
As indeed the first and second paragraph states
Unfortunately, that's going to be the situation at virtually every large tech company these days. To their credit, IBM has been a longtime contributor to Linux so if Red Hat was going to be acquired, IBM is far from a worst-case scenario. It just would have been nice if they could have remained a stand-alone company (I know, wishful thinking)
How far does this go though? Suppose someone has a PhD in, say, social anthropology, and they did ethnographic research for their dissertation. They can do research, but it isn't really math-y. If they do a boot camp to get the ML/Stats stuff, does that count? Or does "PhD" really mean "PhD in STEM?"
The fact that the Government created protected classes is the entire point. Government's already have forced businesses to do business with people. That is a fact. This argument has nothing to do with what is and isn't a protected class.

What is a protected class could be expanded and the Government can force everyone to do business with unsavoury types.
For new scooters, yes. There's a huge number of them on the 2nd hand market.
> Until you have evidence that it is purely psychological I would refrain from suggesting such.

If there are a bunch of self-reported subjective symptoms with no biomarkers or any established physiological mechanism, I believe the null hypothesis would be psychological. (This is why, for instance, the symptoms of grief would be considered a psychological condition absent evidence to the contrary.) You might have specific arguments and evidence for having a different prior in this specific case, in which case I would like to hear them.

> What makes it a red flag that people want recognition for a condition?

People stand to gain socially and economically from having their symptoms classified as a physiological disease, so they are less likely to approach the evidence dispassionately. When much of the discussion online is provided by such advocacy group, we ought naturally be suspicious.
What you say is not a rebuttal of the parent comment. Parent explicitly said that average block times are 10mins in the assumption. The most recent block time doesn't change that.
I don't think I really disagree with you with respect to becoming an expert, but what you think of as becoming an expert may be different from what others are thinking.

Personally, what I see is a lot of AI becoming commoditized. There was a time when you had to have a fairly strong understanding of compilers to program anything complicated. These days you can use a high-level programming language and never get down to the level of the compiler if you don't want to.

If someone wants to make lots of money or change the world with AI, my advice would not necessarily be to start with a PhD. It would be to focus on understanding data, getting very good with a library, and building apps that are useful to people.

If you do that, then getting additional knowledge about the mathematics furthers your career, but your career doesn't block on acquiring that knowledge.

If you do this, you probably won't have a great of chance of working on a team at Google or Facebook improving the implementation of the AI infrastructure. Just as you probably wouldn't get a job at one of these companies optimizing the compiler if you didn't have an academic background or years of experience in compilers. But you could still work on other teams in those companies and make as much or more than those people and have a more direct impact than just making it marginally faster.

I have a PhD in pure mathematics, and I don't do ML. Getting a PhD is a particular journey, and it's not for everyone. Also, the idea of getting a PhD as a credential for industry seems a little odd to me, but that may be my personal bias.
My impression is that POWER is more suitable for certain types of scientific computation that require high degrees of precision rather than for general purpose enterprise use. POWER9 is the only CPU architecture out there that has support for quad-precision floats. Alas, no CPU exists with support for octuple floats, since only astrophysicists need that level of precision.
Unfortunately, yes. Read. "What Went Wrong in Ohio" [2005], from House Judiciary Committee staff.[1]
Among other things, the CEO of Diebold Election Systems was Ohio state Republican chair.[2] The security of voting machines remains very weak.[3]

"Our concerns are exacerbated by the fact that there are very few companies who manufacture and operate voting machines, and they tend to be controlled by executives who donate largely, if not exclusively, to the Republican Party and Republican candidates."

"Diebold’s Express Poll 5000 machines were even easier to crack, thanks to having an easily accessible memory card, which you could swap out while voting, containing supervisor passwords in plain text."

"The "security" of these WINvote machines is so bad. Running WinXP, autorun enabled and hard-coded WEP wifi password."

I very much doubt these 2 are in any danger. In fact, I'd say these are the golden eggs IBM wants.
HELP, I have a big question :
The buyout will go to the shareholders, that is a deterministic ~30% net benefit. (the offer being ~30% > than the market cap)
So WHY shouldn't us the readers of the news, buy shares right now, before the market react ?

And we can even imagine a Web crawler software that detect that entreprise X announce to buy entreprise Y && the offer being > to the market cap, then auto buy ?

I live in the UK where these devices are basically nonexistent due to not being legal on either roads or pavements. I hadn’t been to the US for a couple of years, so I hadn’t seen them in action, but I just visited San Diego last week and holy shit these things are everywhere, and an absolute menace. They were all over the sidewalks obstructing access; they were abandoned in the Tijuana River nature reserve; I had a number of close calls with careless riders, and talked to more than one person who’d been in an actual traffic collision with them.

There’s nothing wrong with the concept, and it’s great to be able to move people to more sustainable methods of transport - but it definitely seems like some kind of regulation is needed for provision of safe docking areas, penalties for unsafe usage etc.
What is the mechanism by which fasting for 10 days helps "any sort of disease modern medicine is telling you is incurable" (as you say in another comment that is no dead so I can't reply)?

Onboarding does not necessarily have to be email. However, let's not conflate onboarding with regular communication.
I had recurring lower back pain with a cause that didn't show up on xrays, with the physiatrists suggesting back and hip exercises in physical therapy. They didn't do too much to help.

Shortly after physical therapy ended, I had some infected teeth removed, and a round of antibiotics.

The back pain, a minor neck stiffness that they had just attributed to stress, and repeating strain/tension headaches my neurologist was treating with low dosage muscle relaxers all went away in the days following the extraction, never to return. I was on some pain meds for the first few days after the extraction, so i can't know how quickly the symptoms went away, just that they did.

I told all of them in follow up appointments, They didn't know why, only offered suggestions about what it could have been, most relating to the neck and nerves and tension that could maybe possibly influence the rest of my spine/hip.

It's also worth pointing out that Red Hat (and Big Banks) have been desperately trying to train new mainframe operators with limited success due to the shift to distributed, to the extent that they've even been giving money to select colleges specifically to develop mainframe-centric curriculum.
Not really. A bus a schedule usually has a built in delay between cycles.

They don't choose fortune, they do sentiment analysis on the words in the text. That this might be mapped or interpreted as being the same as fortune is an interpretation. For example positive words don't necessarily mean fortune in the plot, but often a plot showing fortune will have positive words.

This is an important distinction when looking at whether it's good or bad research.

Docker just took more funding, so it'll likely be a while, but yeah I'd say they're very likely to get acquired in the medium - long term.

Rancher haven't raised in a couple of years, so might be more prone to acquisition in the short term.

In general it lseems likely that as containerization has taken off over the last couple of years , larger players who missed the boat will be looking to make acquisitions to become more relevant in that space.
I agree with you whole-heartedly that money is a social contract. I did disagree with how you’ve formed your argument:

The credit crises is not a issue of money, it's an issue of confidence in the system.

Money is a social contract...

You wouldn’t enter into a contract with someone you had no confidence in that they would uphold their end.

Money is credit is debt is a social contract. I think that maybe you’ve gone slightly too far in the opposite direction of money being some fixed thing. It represents confidence, and we can’t just make it whatever we want, although we can bend it in a lot of ways.

Interestingly enough, with this view of money, it does make sense that at the pinnacle of failure of regulated, government-sanctioned contracts, you might find people (in aggregate) turning their confidence towards organized crime, with a proven record of organizing massive operations to move products.
I don't really understand how IBM keeps rolling along, as they outsource more and more of their workers and kill off entire divisions of their best-known products. They don't really make software anymore, they don't really make hardware. Their cloud offerings are an also-ran behind Oracle. They have a massively overhyped, marketing-driven AI division. Mostly they seem to do the awful kind of IT consulting that the other H1B sweatshops engage in, but perhaps at a slightly more prestigious level.
I've been hearing that word a lot

do you have any blog posts or writing about the graphql stitching part, mostly curious about the architecture? I've just recently started looking at and using graphql and your usage of it seems pretty neat.

Good on Google.

Besides the kernel contributions, Google has a long list of open source projects: https://opensource.google.com/projects/list/featured

For all the hates Google gets on HN, they have been at the forefront of supporting OSS.
A new maintainer could take over the project, but Red Hat was funding their labor, and the chances that someone takes over the project and continues contributing regularly goes up significantly if their labor is reliably funded. (Working for a large company is not the only way to fund labor, but it seems to be the most common one in our society.)

Similarly, having something worth switching to also depends on labor to develop such an alternative. Upstart is no longer funded, and was the closest (including in terms of mindshare that caused people to spend labor developing integration between their software and the init system).
I think it's probably still a little too far outside most peoples' comfort zone, but I think the future of voting will be 100% electronic with the capability of being instantly recallable. The voting system will allow me to see exactly how my vote was tallied after the fact.

From what I have read this is not desirable for the fact that people will more easily be able to sell their vote because they can prove to their "buyer" how they voted. I think from a big-picture perspective this isn't a big deal. The reason is it would be extremely easy to create sting operations on both ends of this transaction: (a) create a sting to find and prosecute people willing to sell their vote, and (b) create a sting to find and prosecute people attempting to buy votes.

I'd prefer to move to a voting system where I can account for my vote after I've voted and put in place enforcement via these types of sting operations to prevent the inevitability of people attempting to buy / sell votes more frequently.
The market has already reacted. The bot strategy you describe is widely implemented. This is not an original idea.

Because there is nowhere(?) you can trade those shares right now, and if those places do exist, the local price almost certainly already reflects this news. Tomorrow morning, the new information will also influence the opening auction, and retail trades haven't a mission of catching any of the action

You might find on Monday the price tends upwards slightly for most of the day, which seems typical of this kind of news, but really, all the value of this deal is captured by existing shareholders -- who is going to sell you their shares at a cut price?
The differential diagnosis for fatigue is just so vast, it's easy to miss the marginal percent cases like various forms of hyper/hypothyroidism (yes, both can cause fatigue; I was tested for both, among many other tests.) Unless you have a doctor that's fairly dedicated to solving your case, it often just doesn't happen - the patient's have to do a hell of a lot of the work in a lot of these cases. You must be your own advocate to get the doctors to run the right tests, try the right drugs... it's probably the only reason drug advertising is ever legal at all.

I live with an autoimmune disease that went undiagnosed for nearly 8 years (I was about 14 when the muscle and joint pain began, some short amount of time after a nasty flu that I personally wasn't sure I'd get through). I had no idea what was wrong but I knew it had to be something, despite what everyone else was trying to tell me. Doctor after doctor would come up with the wrong answer - growing pains ("they'll go away on their own in a few months/years"), shin splints, faking it for drugs (you know, while my mom had to tie her teenage son's shoes because he was physically incapable of bending at the knees through swelling and pain to tie them - eventually switching to flip-flops, even through Kentucky winters), overexertion, various vitamin deficiencies (which they didn't actually test for, just said "take a multivitamin")... Some didn't even bother attempting to come up with a solution, instead just offering opiates or steroids to get rid of me - it was never a surprise to me that there would be an opiate crisis in this country with how I was treated.

It wasn't until after I was taking borderline poisonous amounts of naproxen and suffering horrible gastric symptoms that a clinic doctor finally realized that I wasn't faking it, and nobody in all of those years ran even the simplest of blood tests - an Antinuclear Antibody test. It came back off-the-chart positive, all the way through the highest dilution the lab could test (something like a 1:2000 dilution, with a speckled pattern), and that was what it took to be sent on to a rheumatologist and an enormous battery of tests to eventually get the diagnosis and treatment I needed. Autoimmune diseases are rare in men - my particular disease, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, is often noted as about 16:1 favored towards women. Autoimmune diseases are rare in the population as a whole, and overlap syndromes are the hardest to diagnose. Multiplicatively speaking, the doctors weren't wrong to rule it out at first - my case is somewhere between 0.5-1 in a million. But by failing to do even the simplest blood test for so long, I suffered various forms and levels of agony, needlessly.
You 'gained' an inch which they obviously highlighted or you wouldn't have mentioned it.

And now it also sounds like they highlighted their expertise in unrelated fields, another common conman trick.
You make perfect sense but you are probably wasting your time on these folks, unfortunately.
I do not think that there were any clear warnings that you should avoid using systemd because it's good software that might stop being developed soon.

I also don't think avoiding using systemd solves the problem. My preferred alternative to an abandoned systemd is a well-developed systemd, not sysvinit.
I'm not sure what you mean by "position statement by an encompassing field."?

fast.ai has no revenue at all, no investment dollars at all, no marketing team, and no PR budget. It's entirely self-funded out of my pocket personally in order to help people. The courses are all free, there are no ads, and the software is all open source.

Neither I nor anyone else at fast.ai has ever asked anyone to comment on an HN post, or to post anything to HN.

edit: Just noticed last time fast.ai was mentioned on HN you that made a similar claim. @dang and I both responded to you then. So this is not just some misunderstanding, but repeated and intentional falsehoods. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18096807
That sounds about right. And, I suspect it'll happen to Red Hat, too, despite the fact that Red Hat is a money printing machine. They've been literally unbelievably effective at turning open source into profit (as someone who's tried to make money on building Open Source software for roughly 20 years, I find it difficult to comprehend how much money Red Hat makes). I've even occasionally considered applying at Red Hat a few times over the years (and have on a couple of occasions been encouraged to do so by people within Red Hat), just to get a direct view of how they do it.

But, IBM is a different beast. They make a lot of money on Open Source, too, but they're not a software company. It's ancillary to their core competency, and so when software goes in, it seems to eventually become a meandering bloated and bulbous creature without a clear purpose or direction, and most of the really smart people seem to leave within a year or two.
They are currently free (and invite-only) but will soon be paid. I plan on letting users pick their price between $2, $5, and $10 per month, and all price points will have access to all features.

E.g. Poor without car in big city, required to show up at DMV office to get ID card during work hours. Two weeks to get the time off, two hours on the bus, find the ID office closed because budget forced limited hours.

The ID law has been shown to be slanted to disfavor the working poor who vote for one party over another. It's not done as a legitimate concern over fraud; its a political maneuver to favor one party over the other and disenfranchise the poor. That's the argument
What is the relationship between RHEL and CentOS?

Never actually used RHEL, but I've heard that they're basically the same - one comes with the support, the other obviously doesn't.

Is CentOS supported by Red Hat, so IBM in theory could shut them down?
