Libraries are just a bundle of .o files (e.g. run "ar t /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.a" on an ubuntu with devtools installed and you'll see all the .o files that are in libpython2.7).

The special thing about them though is that the linker will not include any .o files for which no symbols are referenced.

You can think of the typical linker algorithm as follows:

If I am missing a symbol X scan through all not used objects in each library until you find it, then include that .o file. Now check if any symbols are missing again and repeat until done.
Alas, no root on any of the Blackberry machines, beautiful though they are, due to a 'trusted' boot chain to which nobody except Blackberry has the key. This is a dealbreaker to anyone who wants to do any non-trivial hacking, such as a chroot - a group which I imagine has some considerable overlap with those who insist upon the ever-rare physical keyboard. Such a pity.

Well, yes, I didn't mention that when GAE launched in preview mode, there was nothing exactly like it, so it had an initial pricing model that made intuitive sense (CPU-based), but was flawed: RAM was much more representative of the actual costs behind the service. I only hinted at that when I mentioned reality.

Definitely makes me wonder if Instagram got rid of the crosspost-to-facebook feature, how much more dead would Facebook appear? Most of the people around my age group (20-30s) are largely on Instagram and then some cross-post to Facebook for the "old people."

This ringed true to me in Tokyo and Barcelona - local taxi apps were significantly cheaper and had better availability than Uber.

That claim about their conclusion I do not understand, since I don't see where they are saying anything like that.

IP is the new "means of production". Nobody wants to sell you a tractor outright anymore. They want you to buy the expensive to maintain hardware while they own the IP that makes it work. This ensures they can keep getting a recurring slice of the revenue you create with that machine - without the maintenance and other costs associated with a rental business.
Separation of module interface and module implementation is useful, but headers are a horrible way to do that. For an example of how it can be done right, look at Borland Pascal dialects (with "interface" and "implementation" section in each unit, where "interface" can be extracted if desired), or Ada, or ML.

"Eukaryotes are basically a fluke. The symbiosis event that created Eukaryotes from a random combination of Archaea and Bacteria appears to have happened only _once_ in the entire history of the earth."

Isn't it possible that once it happened, it filled a niche that prevented something similar from happening again? Thus, the fact it only happened once doesn't tell you how probable it was to happen at all.

I have the impression other similar things may have happened as well. Recent articles about a viral-like protein that may be crucial to how long term memory works suggest that chance combinations of life that melded may be a theme.

Ask HN:PhD or Job
I am working in a company for almost 2 years. It is my first job. I receive 850 euro. I got an offer for a PhD +job in the university projects with 1000 euro. I told in my current job that i will leave for a PhD and they offered me 1250 euro and a promotion to senior consultant. They told me that in 3 years i will be a manager there, whereas if after the PhD i want to return in the industry i will be in the same point i was before i start it. I have many doubts. What is the best option?

I think the (or perhaps only one) key phrase is "beamforming". A single microphone element has a certain sensitivity pattern (e.g. it may be a very directional microphone, or be equally sensitive in all directions). With multiple pick-ups, you can emulate some different sensitivity patterns.

A related idea in radar is synthetic-aperture radar (SAR).
> You tell me what you think your property is worth. And I can force you to move out today for that price.

In theory, this idea is really good, but I think it needs a certain amount of refinement.

The largest, obvious problem is that transaction costs are enormous.

That might be mitigated by adding a multiplier to the forced sale value: say 1.3 or 1.5. I have no idea what an appropriate value is, but it seems like the sort of thing that could be determined empirically.

On the commercial side, there's all sorts of complications (e.g. tenant improvements) that I just don't know enough about to even talk about intelligently.
Paxos at its heart is very simple
It's yet another perfect example of government gone wild.

I like how you tacitly acknowledge the large corporate entity shares a little responsibility in there at the end. Yes, this is a government failure but it is also the logic of capitalism at work, which says that money should come before all other considerations. Government is rather corrupt, but it is business that has corrupted it.

Ok but ... "reportedly" and "didn't respond for comment", so that remains to be seen. I am not downplaying the effects of Facebook on politics though, that's a huge problem.

It is true though that in many newspaper sites you'll find an inciendary title labelled "opinion" and that could be anti-anything and very biased with little sources (talking about the posts written by this PR firm).

That stuff has to stop. People read it like the news being reported factually and the emphasis on "opinion" is never there.
If you pay for their enterprise level support for GCP you can get human responses very easily (and quickly on high priority requests) though they tend to have to escalate and complicated issues to their engineering teams. We also have weekly meetings with their CRE team where we can give general input, make feature requests and get support requests/etc expedited as needed.

Their support for small customers could use some improving but their enterprise support is nothing like you describe.
In a very carefully configured container regime, you might not be getting anything other than the access the API already had to run code submitted by users. You'd have RCE, but your code can only do the limited set of things permitted by the container; it might not have access to any meaningful filesystem, or to the network, or to the container engine.

It's very tricky to create and maintain those kinds of container systems, but there are services (for instance, the cloud CI providers) that do it.

On applications like these, where the premise is that you give them some kind of code and they evaluate it for you, escaping the "user interface" sandbox isn't game over; you'd have to finish the exercise of escalating to the container host or getting access to an internal network with internal APIs on it.

It's a little like getting SQL injection, but confined to some kind of SQL view. Chances are the application is doomed, but you still have to prove it.
Funny, I live in Chicago, so maybe things are different here, but I view cabs as nearly a luxury now. The rates are similar to uber/lyft, still slightly higher, but not much.

The service is very different though:

1. The driver often knows the best way to get to my place and all I have to do is give my address.

2. The driver knows how to drive in the city.

3. I'm rarely if ever forced into a conversation I don't want to have.

I find the whole thing so much more pleasant.
Why do you feel that that the "value of the property" should be defined by what another party is willing buy it for after it has closed rather than than the amount the current owner is willing to sell it for while it is open? Both strike me as reasonable positions, and thus a compromise value between the two seems like it might be most fair.
Disagree, most employers are so desperate for somebody who can show up every day and throw some code together that they will make all kinds of excuses for the candidate. Plus most interviewers know jack and are easily impressed. That said, everybody has their own understanding of "entry level." I think the market is great for entry-level/junior developers, and glutted for true senior developers. Most companies have no need for somebody's 10+ years of real experience so the ceiling is quite low, and you are "senior" after a few years.
> But you make it sounds like the gov services being provided was also reduced

No. I stated, "The reductions did not amount to a negative total" which includes public services. I am saying the new tax income more than covers the services needed. Cost per resident is not linear. Again, these are sales prices, not below-cost prices. Governments are reducing tax rates to significantly increase tax totals, a reasonable investment.

> where do you think that money is coming from?

The same place it otherwise would, just at a reduced bulk rate.

Long story, short: It would have to be sentient life in order to get any long-lasting attention. In the recent past, plenty of scientists were sure that simple life (e.g., lichens) existed even on Mars. The general public didn't go nuts over that. So finding simple life—for sure, this time—wouldn't change anything this time around, either.
My ex-boyfriend was an attorney at UPMC doing M&A. Their business strategy goes something like this:

1. "Rescue" the only small hospital in a rural area through merger or acquisition. The hospital entity is a "non-profit."

2. Over the course of the next year or two ramp up sales of the very much for-profit (and, conveniently, affiliated) health insurance plan, UPMC Health Plan to all major local employers.

3. Once sales of the health insurance plan reach "critical mass" within the community, the "non-profit" hospital becomes out of network, and ridiculously expensive, for all major insurers except one: UPMC Health Plan.

4. Within the year all local employers are basically forced to adopt UPMC Health Plan.

5. UPMC Hospital and UPMC Health Plan rates go up. UPMC Health Plan shareholders rake in the money while a small town goes broke trying to receive adequate healthcare.

I don't code privacy enhancing extensions myself (that feels like "inventing my own crypto" for me - not enough competence to be sure I won't make it worse actually), I've just noticed Firefox becomes significantly more slow when I enable them so I guess there probably are some sorts of bottlenecks in the Web Extension APIs (or maybe not really).
In my experience that's referred to as padding, not packing. A packed struct is what you get when you remove all of the padding. Packing is therefore removing padding, not adding it.
I think part of the problem is how the current debt-based economy works. Many of the goods big box stores sell are often imported, and these stores often look for the cheapest imported good they can sell. You can also see this with Amazon today.

That's because the new hotness is often outright not possible to fit within the constraints of the old API. It's the same on all platforms, really. The difference is that on Windows, you can choose to not chase the new hotness if you don't actually need it.

E.g. there are still people writing WinForms and even MFC apps, because it works for them, and they don't need anything flashy. And that is a fully supported scenario - not just running the old stuff on new platforms, but even writing new code that uses the old frameworks in the latest-and-greatest Visual Studio.

Why does the article make it sound like the two are causally connected? A report says morale is down because employees don't feel like they're contributing to humanity. And the stock price happends to be down. Putting these two facts arbitrarily together makes it seem like morale is down because the price is down, which feels totally disingenuous.

Yeah that's the theory, but they also hurt the poor by driving competitors out of business in the name of 'efficiency' and lowering wages in the area. Locally owned businesses don't employ money as efficiently but they also cause it to keep circulating within the same community for longer. Price theory is wildly overrated because it trets a theoretical optimum as a real-world desideratum while ignoring other market signals.

Well the problem is people making things that they don't know exist, so "Ask: HN" would already suit this I suppose...
I'm sorry, taking a budget for homeless and homeless assistance and dividing by point-in-time count is destined for asinine useless territory no matter what information I lack. 50% of the budget is housing assistance. 10% is eviction prevention. 20% is medical care. So just napkin math and 2/3rds of the 77k/y figure is for folks outside the point-in-time count. His "sentiment" is wholly based in steadfast ignorance over what those numbers pay for. Pretending to have a firm enough grasp to _direct_ future spending when whiffing on those basics isn't as endearing as you'd think.

I'm thrilled by the success of the Navigation Centers pioneered by Ed Lee. But it's really, really hard to talk about those specifics with people who just want a numerator and denominator to talk about per-person abstract figures as if policy can drop out of an equation. This may shock the HN crowd, but I live in SF and have awareness of this issue not gleaned from the immediate article.

If you're going to baselessly insinuate that "rich landowners" are pocketing funds, I'd appreciate if you could name the organization you suspect? Hamilton Families? Community Housing Partnership? C'mon, lets rat out those fat cats!

Can someone suggest good resources for debugging CSS? I found that most of the time either you know why something works or you do not. I have not seen a resource which says, "This box is placed here because this other box is 50px and there is no more place on this row." or "This box is next to this box because there is a float:right on it" etc. Basically, I am looking for a "log" showing the browser's decisions.

Some people seem to get this instinctively, but for some backend engineers like me, CSS has been a nightmare.
How much do you think Active Directory is driving Azure's success? I picture Azure's big sales pitch as being able to call up GE or Exxon or whatever and say "hey throw all your ancient lotus notes and other various hosted stuff onto our servers and we can sync all your AD to AAD and you're done". I can see that as being a huge thing. And once an enterprise is in, they're start using it for new things as well.

I've never done any kind of enterprisey user access management before so I don't know if it's actually that easy or even if it's any different from migrating to AWS/GCP. Or if AD sucks and enterprises hate it. Would love to hear from people who have more experience there.
> However, that’s not the way properties are supposed to be valued by state law - it is supposed to be based on the resale value

There is also a very small market for sales of big box stores. Their value is very location dependent in a way that is difficult to compare, and most of these 'dark stores' would require millions of dollars in renovations to be usable.

"in many states, including Wisconsin, sales are supposed to be the first variable in the valuation equation, whenever possible"

So no, resale value is not supposed to be based soley on resale value.

That was the main reason.

It also means that you don't need to pass around (a pointer to) a big table of function pointers throughout all of your functions that need to use accelerated routines. Instead you just pass a single integer index. But that is pretty minor.

It can be pretty similar to a switch in practice, but I think there are a few differences. One is function argument handling. Each version of an accelerated routine has to be an independent function, compiled in a separate compilation unit, because you have to limit the instruction sets available. So you will duplicate all of the function call setup overhead in each branch of the switch. This probably gets optimized away by a decent compiler. Even if it does, you still wind up essentially duplicating the function table at every call site. That does not seem likely to get optimized away. You could dispatch to a common thunk which selects the accelerated routine to call, but now you have two function calls instead of one. I am also not sure that switch statements handle the default case as cheaply as doing a single bitwise AND with a small, compile-time constant.

But if you have a use of function pointers that can be replaced by a simple switch statement, that is probably the better approach.
