Not unfree by itself but as a model: free software are born to be as integrated, flexible, easy to evolve as possible, isolation means or that you can't properly integrate your software or you can't trust it.

Think about the level of integration of Emacs and it's flexibility vs Eclipse/VSc/... the former is completely integrated and you can essentially modify any aspect at runtime with a simple sexp/config change. While the letter require to write and maintain plugins. The burden between programming and using in Emacs is substantially nonexistent, while you feel it on any modern software.

I do not know if it's clear seeing my bad English but I hope so. Think another example, Xerox model Alto&other Smalltalk machines, freedom it's not only the code but the way you use and customize your system, it's simplicity and flexibility. In FOSS we are all a bit devs, a bit admin, a bit users, a bit ..., while in proprietary world anything is rigid compartmentalized and "switch" between compartments it's not easy. The very same concept apply to containerization of software.
Right converting to Christianity is such a useful skill in afterlife.
Yes, I've noticed this.

I said something admittedly nasty about Mao's policies a couple of months ago, and was threatened with banning due to "borderline nationalistic trolling". Fair enough.

It sure doesn't seem to be enforced in an objective fashion though. More likely, it appears to be more in line with the current fashion of SV: Never discriminate, unless it's against a group viewed as being powerful and bad by West Coast Americans, in which case it's ok. American? That's definitely a way to be cool and anti-imperialist/colonialist. Christians? Even better. Because of all of the regressive religions which preach hate towards gays and deny evolution, Christianity is the one practiced by white people from Alabama, and therefore it's funny and useful to attack it. If this gentleman were an Islamic missionary from Egypt, the above comment probably would never have been made, and if it had, would be removed, with good reason.

Surely even if he is a spy, the UK will eventually be able to negotiate his release? How many years could this take? UAE has a lot of revenue from tourism, I don't know how much of that is from the UK, but I assume that provides enough leverage to get something going. I just don't see a life sentence being a true life sentence for any citizen Westerner caught by a nation like the UAE.
To the extent that a fish can be said to have "concepts", I'm certain that a fish like a mudskipper or a flying fish can distinguish between being in water and being in air.

Does that not invalidate your argument?

Yeah see, this is what I'm talking about. You're being very rude, condescending, and generally insufferable. It's possible to make your point without insulting people. For example, things that you don't care about aren't automatically "trivial noise".
How big is your model (neural network)? How many RAM you need to load the model? How big are images?

I still remember there were papers claiming News is even more addicting than Porn. Your porn time only last so long, but you could spend hours reading news. From technology to music, fashion, industry news, gossip, Anime, politics, or ever growing interest you have.

Also the anticipation of wanting something to happen, but still hasn't happen yet, things where you cant really do it yourself. Nuclear Fusion breakthrough, Solid Battery breakthrough, MicroLED breakthrough ( So we can throw away those awful PWM OLED ), collapse of property pricing. etc.
Clearly there are groups you can criticize on HN as evidenced in this entire submission's thread.
Yes, but I understand they use Cassandra heavily https://www.techrepublic.com/article/apples-secret-nosql-sau...), and I was curious about why they use FoundationDB in some settings vs Cassandra in others. I can imagine a few good technical reasons to use one or the other depending on the context, but figured I'd ask in case anyone knew.
Y'all have plenty of crazy far right populism gaining steam between AfD, Golden Dawn, Front National, etc.

User empowerment through design
Yes this isn’t a science versus religion debate. The issue is the definition of charity, which means different things to the giver and the receiver.

I argue here that the giver was acting in self interest unable to see another perspective. I’ve been on the end of that class of charity before many times and ultimately it was about changing mindset and empowerment of the charity giver rather than helping the receiver. Whether or not this was conciously done I have yet to establish.

By any moral standard, perhaps we should let people know we’re there if we are needed and the help should be on the receiver’s terms. We’d all get along a lot better then.
I am curios why google and others don't let us change the wake up command. Technically I don't see an issue as the phrase can be setup to only work with your voice already. Is it because of the bad press that could be caused by people abusing this and posting about it?
At present, yes. It could be easily overcome with a simple A/B deployment mechanism.

>> Also, can these evangelists take a break? It's not 1600s anymore.

One of the Christian figurehead's final commands is paraphrased as "Go and preach the good news to everyone in the world". I speculate that's what these people are doing.
Go is written in Go, which is why you need it installed in the first place before you can run the go compiler.
That 30% is clearly a gross estimation, and certainly a wrong one with no data to back it up. Still, even though it is definitely counter productive to host on a widely known host, it still does not expose any users, and that is the main point, not really protecting the host.
>I'm fascinated by these people. They must have one heck of a culture to immediately resort to killing any stranger that lands on their shore. I wonder what religious beliefs they have and what kind of society creates what seems to be extreme and violent xenophobia to us.

Non-human animals regularly kill outsiders that have made incursions into their territory. Chimps for example will even 'invade' neighboring territory and attack to try and grow their territory.

Male elephant seals will attempt to kill other males that are 'sneakers' that attempt to reproduce with their harem.

'violent xenophobia' is instinctual, humans however try to rise above this in many societies but in primitive cultures outsiders represent uncertainty at best.
How about using these as solid state wind turbines to generate electricity.
I don’t believe in moral relativism. They don’t get a pass for not knowing better. Just as their victims didn’t get a pass for not knowing better.
Indian law is at best marginally applicable, as the Indian government treats the Sentinelese as a de facto mostly-sovereign protectorate. The use of force in repelling unwanted visitors is one of the basic prerogatives of any nation, even a very tiny one, and the Sentinelese even follow a reasonably ethical use-of-force continuum, with shouts and then warning shots before only shooting to kill if someone doesn't leave on their own.

In this case, a living person would also pose a risk. These islanders don't have the same immune system that the population the health professionals are looking after have, just like Native Americans didn't have the same immune system as Europeans.
I'm a heavy Go and Python user, and you're right that Go isn't particularly interesting--it doesn't change terribly rapidly, but it's also simple enough that you can do interesting and useful deep-dive sessions into the garbage collector or scheduler or other aspects of the runtime or the toolchain. You could also speculate or discuss proposals for Go2. There have also been significant recent changes to the dependency management scheme which affect pretty much everyone.

I don't think there's much of an analog for C. Most of the interesting stuff in C revolves around things you would think you can depend on but actually break in really weird and interesting ways (misc undefined behavior, sizes for integral types on different architectures, idiosyncracies of the preprocessor, the way to trivially exploit that pattern you used to avoid buffer overflow exploits). But most of that is just depressing.
I don't want to represent myself as one of the inventors! I just saw this on HN, skimmed the technical report, and found a bunch of comments on HN that could be answered with my cursory knowledge thus gained.

What I can offer is that it is now possible to get memory buffers containing "raw" sensor data from mobile phones. I've only done it on iPhone so far, but the "camera2" API on Android looks to support this as well. It only works in single-shot photo mode - I suspect there isn't the bandwidth to do 30 fps streaming, and they rely on the ISP for debayering and color space conversion in video mode.

iPhones seem to have negligible chromatic aberration in their raw output, weirdly, so that isn't a blocker for full sensor resolution grayscale imaging. Someone could exploit this to write the world's greatest mobile phone QR reader app.
It's like how they have hamburger restaurants, where you can ask for a hamburger without the pickle, instead of having hamburger without pickle restaurants. C is the burger, bacon, bun, lettuce, tomato, onions and sauces, and ++ is the pickle.
America was simply late to the party but there is a long history of American missionaries carrying on the tradition. Hawaii wouldn't be a state if it wasn't for American missionaries.
Time Capsule HN: Startups we'd like to fund 2008
I personally find that claim dubious since I don't think there are 150 units available in all of LIC and it takes a non-trivial amount of time to buy a condo. So for 150 to sell in a week that means there must be 300+ in flight which is basically impossible. Plus for a single firm to do that means there must be, what, 5x as many across other firms which comes out to 1500+. I somehow doubt that 20+% of LIC's total condos are in the process of being sold within a few weeks.

Shell scripts just slap commands together. You could just be a human interpreter reading the source and get the job done. C is a much more fundamental requirement of SBCL. Much more so than in the way SCBL depends on Python, for example (e.g. it doesn't).

Listen, I get that in the ivory tower of lisp you don't like looking at the little C bricks at the bottom, but the fact is that they exist and C is a hugely important language upon which the entire modern world of computing is built.
If you were convinced that something is true and that it has eternal consequences for those who reject or don't hear that message, how could you _not_ want to tell everyone about it, going to the ends of the earth and risking life itself so others could hear that message?

Yes, his intentions were not universally good, just from his point of view. For many observers, his intentions were evil.

homocidal maniac = good decent people that are "serving society"

This is absurd and deeply disturbing. The only ones that such bloodthirsty individuals are serving are the ruling classes. I definitely do not feel well served by any of you and would much prefer it if you did not sell yourselves for such a cause.

I think you ought to question how you were led to this worldview by your greater "perspective in life" or how that perspective really reflects what society as a whole values. There are a lot more people in places like say Yemen right now that I think would be more inclined to disagree with you and would wish that the US war machine were not so effective.
All the cultures in the Americas that welcomed strangers were slaughtered by the Europeans beginning with Columbus which didn't get a lot of coverage in the stories they told my generation of American children - and these particular islanders had already had a bad experience in their first dealings with the British a couple of hundred years ago.
NewMR:  What is Blockchain: a primer for market researchers
You're making the wrong comparison. There is no question that Amazon has improved the retail experience and driven down prices. I love Amazon. I use them all the time. But what you have to compare is the world we live in and a hypothetical world where Amazon had a real competitor. In that world, prices would be even lower. And there would be other benefits as well. There might be an on-line retailer that was every bit as good as Amazon, but which exercised better oversight of their supply chain so that, say, ordering a name brand from them wasn't a total crap shoot in terms of whether you're getting the real thing or a counterfeit, or which carried items that you can't find on Amazon.
Well it's certainly enforceable in that you won't be able to use it for your Amazon account. They are free to reject any email address they like.
Just the notion that there could even be a ban about buying real estate based on insider information is insanity. Not every advantage needs to be legislated away. Same logic as CEOs hiding who they are when buying real estate sometimes; there's no moral obligation to inform the seller so they can drive up the price to make more money when they'd sell for their current one.
I tried to make something similar, but more visual, specifically for Python (draft)[1].

Composability is what matters here, when you start to combine these par/async things into big programs, it can become a mess to reason about.

Ask HN: How do you deal with over-ambitious managers who just push you too hard?
How do you deal with over-ambitious managers who set bars so high that's humanly impossible to meet, while knowing that the manager isn't really meaning to help you become the best but is actually pushing you to work too hard - just to get himself in top management's spotlight and claim his fame for steering the firm to success.
I think we can safely say that 'conference' means different things to different people and all conferences are very different. Some involve highly specialized academics pontificating on highly esoteric subjects, some are places where people go to do million dollar deals, some are just thinly veiled excuses for people to expense their holiday to their company and some involve half dozen hackers sitting around a table knocking out code. And at some conferences all these things are going on at the same time.

Basically any statement to the effect of "everybody does/nobody does X at conferences" is almost certainly false.
While MLflow doesn't submit jobs to Kubernetes for you, it should be possible to integrate it with your favorite scheduler to do that. MLflow is designed to accept experiment results from wherever you are running your code, so you can just submit an "mlflow run ..." command to Kubernetes and have it report results to your tracking server.

It will be interesting to see a followup in a few months, in particular, to see how many sites come back online.

My expectation is that a good number will look to an alternate service, though the ones who are willing to try again would be more likely to have recovery plans.
Funny how the world has evolved. A couple hundred years ago, natives killing a member of another civilization usually resulted in that civilization sending a militia to exterminate/enslave those natives. The times have changed.
So your case is they are stating the obvious? And that now qualifies as news worthy of publication? And they're publishing it not as a (meaningless) public service but because they know ppl will click to read it.

I trust you can do the math from here.

This wasn't a "kill on sight" situation, though: he was driven off with warning shots first, and was only killed after several attempts over two days to step foot on the island. That's much more patience than I'd expect from, say, North Korean border guards.
Xenophobia is not a "20th century concept". Xenophobia has existed for as long as man has existed. Cavemen were most likely xenophobic towards other cavemen. Hell, for all you know, some of the Sentinelese might even be xenophobic to other Sentinelese that live on a different part of their island.

Animals of all types also exhibit xenophobia, even the ones that have "no hint of modern civilization".

> But, he went in with the best of intentions, and he died. You just don't believe what he did. Imagine a techie died while trying to teach rails to the homeless (which, I can only assume, some of you might be more sympathetic towards), would you feel the same way?

This wasn't the homeless, this was a society which has (overtly, if only in practice and not in name) been granted, by the relevant government, absolute internal self rule, and which notoriously applies summary execution to invaders.

Whether that community should be self-governing, and whether or not it is justified in its response to intrusion are, certainly, topics perhaps worthy of debate.

But, look, after making initial and peaceful contact he got in a fight with the natives where an arrow was shot into a book he was carrying, fled, and then tried to return the next day. When the people whose land you are intruding on have clearly signalled that you personally are unwelcome and they are prepared to deadly force to keep you away, I'm not sure that it can be said that your return is some kind of morally virtuous (“best of intentions”) act in any case (his actual intentions appear unclear, as his writings and comments to others indicate that thyey were either thrill-seeking or proselytization or a mix of the two.)

Because they did most of it starting in the middle ages and the Age of Discovery. In fact that's mostly what the Franciscans, Dominicans and Jesuits did in California, South America and Asia from 1500ish to well into the late 1800's.

Not sure about conferences, but what bothers me is that there is no single acknowledged discussion group about C, after Google destroyed newsgroups and comp.lang.c with it. There should be a very popular Reddit sub about it, but yet Reddit is not enough standard among developers, unfortunately.

Right now there is:

Hi! You have 2 options: 1) write pthread emulation for your target system. We wrote one for windows native threads, but others should be straightforward. 2) if you want thread-less, that's possible (single-threaded performance shows 1080p is easy, and on high-end systems even 4K single-threaded might be doable), which basically just involves putting the two functions in thread_task.c under #if HAVE_THREADS, along with any coded calling pthread_() functions or using pthread_ types from <pthreads.h>, and then enforcing that Dav1dSettings.n_{tile,frame}_threads is always 1 (that means it won't ever enter these codepaths). Then, you always get single-threaded and (p)thread-less decoding.

Feel free to come on IRC, happy to help you dive into this, it's not very difficult.

You could say the same for the majority of Trump supporters.
Perhaps they felt threatened and have a primitive belief that allows them to kill people whenever this happens. Like in Florida.
On whether they "know" better -- the first time someone who looked like that intruder showed up, it was a British guy in 1880 who kidnapped 6 people, only 4 of whom came back alive. Not exactly a great first impression of the outside world.

Lots of people talking about his intent to convert the Sentinelese. Maybe that's relevant, but I feel like the main talking point should be that he went to a place where everyone warned him not to go to because it was dangerous and forbidden. He knew the risks and deliberately tried to circumvent the patrols by setting out at night time. Patrols that existed as much for his safety as for the islanders'. Even when met with initial hostility, he persisted in try to land on an island where he was clearly unwelcome.

This man deserves no sympathy.
It was probably originally only one but in order to say employees (plural) they stretched a bit. It was, after all, only a one-person lie. No big deal. But a much different headline / title.
