Not to mention all of us that have had great experiences with Red Hat, and have a hard time seeing their culture surviving more than a few years under IBM. I'd be sad to see anyone acquire Red Hat because they seemed to be thriving and are a great blueprint for what open source can look like in the corporate world. I don't have any personal animosity for IBM, but I loved Red Hat and wanted to see them keep going without having to worry about the influence of a parent company.

It might be the case that serializing to json facilitates support for multiple languages, though I wonder how.

With the reticulate package in R Markdown you can run python chunks, by putting, e.g.

```{python}

for i in range(1:10):

print("{}:{}".format(i, i*i))

# etc

```

And in emacs org-mode you can:

#+begin_src python

for i in range(1:10):

print("{}:{}".format(i, i*i))

#+end_src

Language support in org-mode is pretty comprehensive, afaik.

I do not know the details of the implementations behind these, but my own source code is plain and simple unserialized text, and that means a lot to me.
What an obnoxious statement. No, not all Mac users 'hate Windows'. Yes, power users can be productive on Windows. Yes, macOS has bugs that require resets for some users.

I had mild chronic back pain for years. I was browsing a similar thread like this one on hacker news. Someone replied saying that they took up lifting and it resolved the back issues.

I took the advice to heart and paid up for 2 months of personal training before I could change my mind. My best investment so far. It got rid of my back pain completely.

Also, it improved my posture and body language automatically and also gave me quite a few unexpected benefits.

It gets worse than that when your cryo equipment has a “cold” helium leak. Ie, something leaking on the dilution fridge only at helium temperatures (4.2K) and lower, but no trace of a leak at room temp.

Repeated bouts of guessing where the leak might be and trying to plug it (usually by welding or re-machining some part), cooling down, checking if it worked, warming up, ripping some more of your hair out, repeat.
I used to plan for every single little thing in life that could go wrong. Health insurance, identity theft, multiple credit cards and backups of important files, pursuing higher education.

That all paid off. I'm 26 now and have a net worth of $125,000 in cash and a $3,000 car.

I'll tell you one thing. It feels empty. It feels like it can be gone at any moment. Lifestyle expenses start to inflate when you live and love in the city. So my networth is actually dropping a few grand every year at this point.

Money and caution usually result in a conservative and decent life, but not necessarily a fun one if you thirst for adventure.

My girlfriend and I dream of the day when we just quit our jobs and live in Thailand on $300 a month per person instead of wasting today at a desk! So be it if it's reckless.
Facebook banning normal people with the “wrong” views
It was brought to my attention that Facebook is now perma-banning the accounts of people who post right wing memes and express support for the Proud Boys. What the actual fk is going on? That's ridiculous. When did we decide that SV can be the moral arbiters of the internet?
The following is incorrect for finding a missing number in a sequence.

func foo( _ nums: [Int] ) -> Int {
var sum = 0
var _ = nums.map {sum += $0}

return (nums.count * ((nums.count+1) / 2)) - sum
}

The last line should be

return ((nums.count+1) * ((nums.count+2) / 2)) - sum

The count of nums will give the incorrect answer since it's already missing a value.
This low-quality subthread happened because the submitter posted the article with a tarted-up title ("Is the interstellar object Oumuamua a lightsail from an alien civilization?") We've since changed the title back.

Doing that to titles is explicitly against the HN guidelines and eventually will cause an account to lose submission privileges.

>Because there's no way any company can actually comply with the GPDR; many of the rules conflict with each other. GDPR is a regulatory trap intended to allow the authorities to initiate selective enforcement against non-EU companies.

Source, please? My reading of the GDPR is as a broad set of sensible rules requiring that you acquire consent for gathering and using people's data (and that consent can be revoked -- or withheld for non-core functionality). The law isn't machine code, it's a document interpreted by humans against the spirit of the law: act in good faith and respect people's privacy and you'll be fine.

When I see a company that doesn't even want to consider doing business with a European because GDPR, I see a company that I want as far away from my personal data as possible.
Letting the user control the device inevitably means letting the user hurt themselves that is inevitable and impossible to fix.

The least intrusive method is too allow users to add additional software sources and either opt out of sandboxing wholly or totally for select vetted apps.

This isnt hard it would just hurt Apples ability to get a 30% cut as third party stores would spring up.

User owned personal computing devices have been a thing for decades can we not pretend this is uncharted territory?
It'd be really interesting to figure out what we actually can all do, though, based on first principles and some basic math. Right now there's a lot of rhetoric on both sides, either of the form "The universe is scarce. Either we compete over natural resources, or we die" or "There's plenty for everybody! Let's guarantee everyone a middle-class American lifestyle as a basic human right." I suspect that both extremes are quite inaccurate, and being manipulated for political gain.

Two surprising ones that I've found:

We can feed everyone on earth. Current daily food production per capita exceeds the recommended 2500 Cal/day in all regions [1], even in Africa, and exceeds 3500 Cal/day in some regions (North America, Europe). With current technology, we could feed the expected 2050 population of 9B. We may not be able to feed them meat, because it takes roughly 25x as much energy to produce beef than corn, and roughly 6x as much for chicken or pork. [2] We also need to fix severe distribution and supply chain leakage problems to get the food to where it needs to be.

We also can produce enough renewable energy to give everyone a developed-world standard of living, subject to construction & storage costs. Energy use in the U.S. was 4.1 TWh in 2016 [3]; divided by 8760 hours/year, that's a mean power usage of 472.2 GW. (Peak power generating capacity in the U.S. is about 1100 GW, so that implies 50% utilization, which is about right.) Scaled up to 9B people (30x), that implies a global energy consumption of around 14 TW. Solar flux on the earth is 1.361 KW/m^2 [4], so at 10% efficiency, that requires an area of 104,010 square kilometers covered by solar panels. This sounds large, but laid out into a rectangle, it's only about 250 * 400 km. Such an array could easily fit into the Mojava, Sahara, or many other deserts on earth, with plenty of room left over.

We likely can't all live in the country - total habitable acreage on earth is about 15.77 billion acres, so with 9B people, each person gets about an acre and a half, and that has to include all the public commons, infrastructure, industry, etc. as well. We also probably can't all have a car - we could if we all lived in the country, but if you take say SF's density (20K/mi^2), give everyone a car, and multiply that by the space the car takes up in parking (say 200 ft^2) and roads (depends on density, but let's say equivalent), you're looking at 8M ft^2 taken up by vehicles alone out of a total available space of 27M ft^2. If everybody used motorcycles, pods, or scooters to get around, it could work, though.

I like asking what their definition of a senior engineer is. Good candidates will have answers that are multi dimensional: eg. ability to drive technical change, mentor junior engineers, design system that solve complex problems in a simple way, etc.

There's plenty of possible answers, but it's interesting to know what their vision is (whether it's in line with your view or not, it should still be enlightening).
This Week in AWS Data #38: New RDS Performance Insights, Restricting Metadata
If you fall over unconscious from helium then you'll probably die without immediate help. Your natural breathing reflex is triggered by the presence of CO2, not the lack of oxygen. If you inhale a lot of helium and pass out, your body doesn't start breathing again because there is no CO2, so you just suffocate instead of inhaling oxygen.
That’s not it, but I really like Whimsical (https://whimsical.co) to produce great-looking diagrams.
Well, in my day you had to solder your own computer. A ZX81 no less. If you wanted to play a game then you had to type it in hexcode and debug it first. Plus you were only allowed a mono TV that used valves so that it would die of thermal runaway after two hours.

I actually wish I was joking.
Wouldn't this affect people's voices?
When cable TV was new, that was its entire reason for existing. Not sure about the present landscape but I'm sure it happens somewhere.
My goto for any kind of arbitrary precision math in JavaScript is https://github.com/MikeMcl/big.js

While it's not specifically a "Money" class it can form an excellent base for one.
Shouldn’t you be more specific and say an indictment of Photoshop or Adobe?

Perhaps they have a lot they can optimize but the levels of layers, masking, opacity, blending or whatever is complex.

There’s a lot to be said about reduced efficiencies with the layers of languages and abstractions we use today but I’m not sure photoshop is the best example to try and torch the whole industry.

> However key management in clusters is an absolute nightmare. They need to look at Docker Swarm for how to build a usable "join" mechanism.

I'll contend that key management is one of the great unsolved problems in software deployment.

I don't want to diminish the value of removing friction from the user experience, but fundamentally there is not that much of a difference between providing a token directly as a command line argument vs. providing a certificate that lives on disk. I'm curious if your frustration is mostly from the overhead of creating node certificates or if there's a deeper problem I'm not seeing.

I should also mention: this is an area we're actively looking to improve in! If you have time to write up a slightly more detailed proposal as a GitHub issue, we'd be happy to entertain it.

I would be very interested in seeing the the iPhone charges while "anethitized". I severely doubt data would be accessible via standard channels, but as this kills the general clock I am assuming it should prevent any sort of lock protection mechanisms from kicking in indefinitely.

Not sure how you would get it going again and / or how necessary that would be. Perhaps heating it to excite the helium trapped in the oscillator and hoping it bounces out.

Could end up being a pretty easy go to law enforcement trick. Put a phone and a helium balloon in a ziplock bag, pop the balloon, pause the phone, deal with it later
Yeah I had that as well, in that case it was best to replace all the Indium seals right away as like you said it takes 24 hours to do a full cooldown/warmup cycle anyway, so spending a day to make new seals is often faster. That's a part of low-temperature physics I definitely don't miss!
It was very entertaining to follow r/sysadmin's threads about this weird issue, until the guy found out the source of the problem.
You can use R Studio to execute the code, and you're preferred editor to do the editing, if you like.

Haven't found any recent updates yet.
As with so many things python related (including python itself), I am perplexed by how willing people seem to be to fall in love with solutions that have so many limitations and problems. I find Jupyter just barely usable. I constantly have issues with editing in the cells, diagrams not sizing correctly, cells accidentally displaying huge amounts of data and freezing my browser, complete failure of autocompletion in many languages, a very awkward security model involving manual cutting and pasting of auth tokens around, nearly impossible to get a reasonable rendering of the notebook into something reasonable like PDF (yes there attempts at solutions, they are full of problems). Many limitations derive directly from the architecture where the kernels are limited in what they can do because specific parts have to be interpreted in the browser that are language specific.

From my perspective, it's a dumpster fire - in 2018 there should be something so much better than this. RStudio is a thousand times better but only does R. I used to like Beaker Notebook but it gave up due to Jupyter's popularity and converted itself into a bunch of Jupyter extensions which now have all of Jupyter's limitations.

Yet despite all this I can see that there's this enormous community that loves this and keeps developing and contributing to it.

There's a large stack of community software that was developed with funding from the DOE's SciDAC program.

http://usqcd-software.github.io/

People use the stack in a variety of different ways---I'll describe my own usage.

There's a message-passing abstraction layer, QMP, sitting over MPI or SMP or what have you (you can compile for your laptop for development purposes, for example). This keeps most of the later layers relatively architecture agnostic.

Over that sits QDP, the data parallel library. Here's where the objects we discuss in quantum field theory are defined. We almost always work on regular lattices. QDP also contains things like "shove everybody one site over in the y direction" (for example).

Finally, there's the physics/application layer, where the physics algorithms live. I am most familiar with chroma. QUDA is the GPU library and can talk to most application-layer libraries and has at least simple solvers for most major discretizations people want to use (it also has fancier solvers such as multigrid methods for some discretizations).
Code in chroma by and large looks like physics equations, if you had a pain-in-the-ass pedantic student who didn't understand any abuse of notation.

Chroma can be used as a library, so that for your particular project you can do nonstandard things while leveraging everything it can already do.

Other physics layers include CPS, which grew out of the effort at Columbia with QCDSP/QCDOC, MILC (really optimized code for staggered fermions), and others.

The USQCD stack isn't the only one. Another modern lattice field theory package is grid, developed by a tight collaboration between intel and University of Edinburgh https://github.com/paboyle/grid. There's also openQCD http://luscher.web.cern.ch/luscher/openQCD/
I see the same with Ubuntu. I've seen a lot of developer switch to Ubuntu based distributions because they've become comfortable with using it as their production environment, and it's nice to have the same underlying environment for development. I think moving into the server space was beneficial to Canonical on its own, but It's also brought a lot of developers to their desktop platform.
There are some fascinating weird stories in that thread.

I found the announcement an interesting mix, more like the original iPad where there is potential in the hardware that isn't available in the software.

The increasingly similar optics to the Surface Pro are amusing as well, design students would do well to read the coverage of these two systems from introduction to the present day. A lot to be learned there in terms of understanding how systems like these evolve.

I am bummed that the pencil isn't compatible and while you get better recharging and 'tap to change tools' and some tilt and pressure sensitivity, but how much? Actual specs seem to be elusive.

HFT is just something where latency is the primary factor. Your perspective is a somewhat narrow one driven perhaps by limited experience or reading. The things you listed are true but just part of the arms race at various venues. Likewise, your reply to GP lacks perspective. Latency is likely almost totally irrelevant to his business model. His target audience doesn’t require sub-python latencies.

It's not unique in that. There are other single-atom molecules.
As for efficiency: it depends on exactly what code you use and what your problem is. BAGEL, which included hand-coded assembly http://usqcd-software.github.io/bagel_qdp/ was getting something like 25% of peak, sustained, for doing linear solves on the BG/Q.

On a POWER8/NVIDIA P100 machine I know QUDA gets 20% of peak, sustained.

Yes, but it's wrong. Kings kill(-ed) kings all the time. For instance check out what the Saudis are doing these months.

That makes it a big question, why it's not happening more often then they can reproduce. And it's not like they are writing on their own wikipedia page "hey, I, prince Saudi XYZ don't kill Saddam Hussein's nephew because <reason>". So of course it's some guessing involved.

And I have yet to see a more convincing one than that they have dirt on each other. It makes a lot of sense. And while you might think that getting killed is worse than getting bad press or going to jail, for them it means losing power, and that's all they have.

So let's not get too romantic here and try to discuss the facts. If you have a really good reason they don't kill each other more often, then let's hear it. But morals or an "understanding" can't be it.
