If you use Alpine releases, you'll get older packages than if you use edge. In general edge packages are pretty up-to-date.

Though, they do have issues with alpine-aports patches (alpine-aports is their package repository scripts). They don't have a large enough team so a patch generally needs a few months to get in.
There are Clojure jobs posted every month, just an omission in the list of language regexps s/he searched for.

Nice idea. I think it would be nice to add more variables to the Feeling lucky button. Change color, size, letter-spacing etc. Or let a user set some boundaries and randomly click through.

Now it is only a color and random layer on top of Google Fonts.
Wat? I'm typically not your average "wtf is this doing on HN", but in my ignorance, I fail to understand the relevance of this.
Alpine is a pretty good standalone distribution IMHO. Main upsides are musl and apk, which makes it lightweight and fast.

These interviews are designed to filter less visible people.

None of my friend went through these interviews.

Companies have two kind of employees:

1. Directioner
2. Executioner

If they are hiring for second role, they are put through mind numbing problem solving.

But if it's for the first kind of role, then you don't go through all that. The expectation is that you'll figure out the direction and solution as you go.

One thing is not everyone has to go through these interviews.

Do you've experience? Do you posses a lot of knowledge in a particular niche?

I hire people without these quizes based on their knowledge of the area we gonna work.

What't your tech stack and experience? Where are you based?

I keep the source code for my projects in ~/src and I always set my GOPATH to my home dir. So the special 'go' in the path can be avoided. It will just be ~/src/github.com/...

But, yes, I rolled my eyes when learning about GOPATH for the first time.
I dunno, I thought that a lot of it (especially the exercises in MiTaP) was reminiscent of later psychological research. For instance, I believe that its one of the first examples of negative reinforcement, which didn't really become mainstream until the 50's or so.

Additionally, if you check out Tibetan Buddhism rituals, you see a lot of what looks very like ritual magick. I was very very surprised at the amount of overlaps with the western/thelemic tradition.

Just my 0.02.
Concise and informative, thank you for sharing.
Many things can suppress genius. It's not actually a very reliable trait.

It occurs in most of us, though for far shorter than it should. If flashes of genius are rewarded they can grow, but mostly, harsh reality stifles the optimistic hope at it's root.

Ok fair enough, but it still the same with Engrish. There is plenty that is correct and they clearly are intending to be correct. They could do what you suggested earlier and check with someone, however it still comes down to their intended audience. The photographer knows who he is making this for. The creators of Engrish goods know who they are making their goods for. Both are certainly intending to be correct, but they both know it doesn't matter enough to their intended audience to make a special effort to make 100% sure it correct. This is the assumption in the general case, it may not apply in every case or even to the Nihon Noir in question, but to me it helps explain most cases of Engrish (there are other factors of course) and even cases of reverse Engrish as in this case.
If we need more explicit examples, what about the WTFPL? Should a license text exist on the system that has that word in it?

There is also a license which use the word Bugger off (Etymology source this down to heretics who were thought to have come from Bulgaria), calls lawyers for jackals, and has the word twit in it which all sounds quite nasty for a single license.

I understand we want to protect the little man inventor from staying poor as big companies get rich off of their ideas, but something like wipers being a patented concept on each different vehicle is not a function of this need.

stablecoins aren’t mined, they are created by the issuer at their discretion. Technically they should create a coin for every deposited dollar, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Tether or other stablecoins run a fractional reserve scheme behind the scenes.
Plastics breakdown naturally in water. This is why there are now observable quantities of plastics in all human water supplies including the water you drink, bathe in, and cook with. This is also why the bigger problem is micro-plastics, which are those sufficiently broken down microscopic particles. This is also the primary problem in the great Pacific garbage patch, the plastics you don't see.

If you can consolidate these particles with some manner of attractive force you can extract them.

Rebuild what I lost in 2018

I had a toxic investor who trashed my company, stole money, committed fraud and fled to Malaysia.

I had a very tough 2-3 weeks when I had to let staff go, close down, lost my home. The most painful part was letting my staff go, because I considered them all friends too.

But the contacts I made along the way all reached out to me, they offered me food, accomodation and work.

There are some truly good people out there, and some truly rotten ones.

After a few weeks I got the entrepreneurial itch again and I’m aching to start again, but this time, smarter, wiser, and even more motivated

I move into my flat tomorrow, finally somewhere to live!

Here’s to a great 2019 everyone!
Oh, I see. I recognized some of them from before and figured they had just been updated.
Yeah, we can never land a rocket, self driving cars will never happen, 4MB of RAM is enough for everyone...

If you don't step you will never know how to walk.

The companies who are working with the Ocean Cleanup Project are one of the best marine companies in the world. They are not naive about what an ocean is.

Ofcourse this is also a learning project. So a lot of money is invested just to learn more. But I don't think you should call it a scam.

The reason they only collect at the surface is that it's less likely they will scoop up ocean life. This will make the first steps easier.

Like, I don't really get why people are so worried. Wages are going up, employment is going up, and the price of assets are coming down. This is pretty good for most of the population.

It's really only the small fraction (of which I am a member) that have equities that have really lost anything.

Inflation is still reasonably low, so PPP is going up. I just don't get it.

Mind you, a few years back I didn't really understand how unemployment was bad, wages were poor, asset prices were too damn high and everyone was talking about this "recovery".

I probably just don't understand macroeconomics, I guess :)
Because Science!

Seriously though, you may discover that the meat cooked for twice as long is better (quite probable if the recipe prescribed low-temperature cooking). Or at least different. Life is not Minecraft, recipes don't constrain reality.

Even more seriously, while it's not good to double down on things that can be shown to not work, let's not get too critical about the concept of "testing by doing" in case of ecological projects, on a site that embraces startup economy - which is entirely based around doing gradient descent on the market, starting from random nonsense and hoping to converge on something that sells.
Why is that? And what's a centralised cryptocurrency?

I like the idea of this and have to say, I wasn't expecting that much detail for some of the photos.

But, something else that I wasn't expecting was the price... For this price, I could just hire someone from Fiverr to print out all the illustrations I need for the next year or two.

Meaning, I cannot justify paying $300 for a full license, only to see myself using the product once or twice a week.

As other said, this might just be an ad that managed to slip by.

It was rather less than 15 years ago I had the conversations with gtalk architects (who liked XMPP and left when google abandoned interoperability) that led to my opinion.

So apparently not everybody shares your definition of

This is one of the reasons that pre-booking taxis is a good idea. Typically, they'll call you when they arrive, so they are a really good back-up alarm clock.
We've never done blanket surveillance, and specifically mention "individual users" in the blog post. There's been a lot of FUD about warrants not being needed - I think the ZDNet article we linked covers that very well:

"[a judge doesn't have to sign off on the specific method by which data is requested] However there must be an underlying warrant to access communications under the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act or the Surveillance Devices Act or state-level equivalents."

So the request still requires a warrant that specifies which communications are to be intercepted, but not a warrant that specifies how the interception is to be performed.

Sadly, random commentary on the net does tarnish reputations every bit as well as facts :(
Types of data breaches and how to prevent them
There is a microcontroller between the phone and the car that monitors all communication and enforces safety limits. This code is written in C++.
Hello,
I am the creator of Coinboot and I will try to answer some of your questions.

Coinboot was initially created with only one use case in mind: To run the nodes of GPU-crypto-mining farms diskless.
Because you don't need disks for mining.
But these farms have only cheap commodity 1Gbit/s network hardware so the filesizes to transfer need to be as small as possible.

Being stateless is also a benefit for operations - all software + configurations are loaded in the RAM during boot, so you always have the most recent version in place and don't have to use a configuration management.
There is also a plugin system which makes it easy to extend the functionality with further software.
Just put the updated plugin archives in the plugin directory on the Coinboot server and reboot your nodes.

Coinboot is still in Beta phase but has been running for months on hundreds of GPU nodes.

My plan is to make the first stable release by the end of the year.

Centralised logging is already on the roadmap, also load-balancing the file download via local Bit-Torrent during the boot phase, and a Web-UI plus many other things.
Ubuntu was chosen as base because the proprietary GPU driver for OpenCL has only support for Ubuntu and RHEL. RHEL was no option.
Coinboot does use TFTP only for the NBP, all other file transfers are happening over HTTPS. If your hardware is using UEFI HTTP, then all file transfers are happening over HTTP. Boot time in the production environment is less then 15s.

Running diskless is done since decades and seems to be quite common in HPC - ages before everything got *-less. ;-)
There was no implementation which fitted the requirements of the use case or was not outdated. Coinboot is also not using NFS - just because there is only cheap commodity 1Gbit/s network hardware in place. The whole root file system is put onto a TMPFS. After boot ~500MB of the RAM are used for the root filesystem.
CoreOS is very impressive but there image size ~380MB was way to big. Coinboot is using currently ~130MB for the kernel + initramfs archives and the GPU driver Coinboot plugin.
As they are trying to build an economy, they will have to bring both consumers and merchants to their platform. Exposing a bunch of people to new money is not enough, they need to be able to buy something useful with it.

Facebook will have to build something that its users want to buy, and then find something for the users to do to earn fbcoin.

Maybe they could allow ads to be purchased in fbcoin, and pay users to translate ads to their native language for fbcoin.

Ask HN: Music tech, what's next?
Hello,

Just wondering if anyone is in the music technology space, where is the industry heading? Is Spotify the last word. It seems like there's innovation happening with machine learning, recommendations etc, what comes next?
alpine 3.8 (and 3.7) branch have gcc-6.4 which was released in July 2017. For a C compiler, that is absolutely sufficient. You'll find many other packages in the 3.8 release branch are more up-to-date, this is a bit of an exception.

This isn't Rust. GCC-6.4 will compile literally any C or C++ project you find (that works with any recent version of GCC), including stuff requiring C++-14 and _most_ of C++-17. Hell, GCC-4.9 (from 2014) is sufficient to compile the latest linux kernel, the latest sqlite3, the latest nginx, the latest of any real significant package.

This must've been quite an old article, because lo and behold, nearly every single complaint on that page is being addressed with gusto by the Go community! Proposals on generics and error handling is well underway, and his complaints regarding GOPATH and the go get has been solved with Go modules.

EDIT: As I expected, the linked page is written on Feb 2018[1], things indeed have changed a lot since then.

While this is a good response in terms of likely outcomes, it's important to respect OP's right to make his own decisions. In this case, he did make a decision and decided to gather advice on how to fill that in on a forum of people he trusts. It would be very aggravating to me to receive replies that essentially say "what you want is just a phase, you should stop wanting that and want something else".
JG is a smart and nice guy. Congrats.
Stopping the polluters is a much harder behavioural, but mostly political problem. I am 42, I don't think I will see a solution to that in my lifetime. I applaud anything that makes this problem more visible and tangible (pictures of that patch are not enough), and if Boyan has a shot at getting some plastic out after some iterations, awesome! If not, then this has been an inexpensive awareness campaign, showing that it is indeed a much harder problem then anyone thinks.
You know what he needs? A stern talk from poppa Peterson?

I think calling him a man-child for realizing that this is a raw deal, deeply condescending and unnecessary.

It is a raw deal. The "normal" approach to work in our society is soul crushing. I'm 28 years old and I have been unhappy about my job since I left college. The thing I spend most of my time on, more than 40 hours a week, is something I hate doing, therefore I hate my life. But hey, I have car, and a bank account and the fridge is full, so it is all worth it?

I'm still exploring other ways. There are some jobs that I think will be able to satisfy me. If not, I want to do exactly OP plans to do, because I'd rather be poor and happy than middle class and miserable.

It's not something to be translated, it's a mock language.

Not a native German, but probably this:

"spitzen sparken blinken lichtzen" -> "pointed sparkles flashing lights"
I'm sure this has been said before, but: "easy" = "i don't have to manage my key" = "insecure because then the existing telecoms act covers this". That's likely the crux of it
I would call it Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz but that's me.
But do you trust Facebook?
Also, regarding the "trust itself" part, it's not necessarily the case. How can one make sure database admin haven't changed some records?
Definitely. But unless special care is taken, these will use (normally) more space, and potentially more time. I think Chris Osaki did a bunch of work on functional data structures for handling immutability efficiently (still less efficiently) and that some of this was implemented in Clojure.

you don't have to like go, I'm not "liking it" per say, but what's the alternative if you want static typing/compile language, Java, well the compile time is to big for my taste, do a change wait 30 seconds, also it needs to munch ram, Net core could not get it to run.
Given HN's general policy of disallowing paywalled links maybe we should also consider disalling GDPR-walled links. Sure, proxies and VPN's exist but it's a PITA just to read an LATimes article.

Abusing the analogy: instead of a house you have apartments and the burglar broke in to the building and now might have access to the other tenants' homes, don't you have to report that to the landlord, police AND your neighbors?
Labor had a series of sensible amendments that would have diminished the opportunity for any government to abuse this silly legislation. I think trying to equate both parties is disingenuous and wilfully ignores a mountain of context.
My first Go project was a PDF parser. Rewrote it in C a similar number of lines because Go's capacity for polymorphism is as primitive as in C.
I don't think attraction would be needed. If you could make a material that can selectively bind to plastics, you could just make "filters" out of it that rely on plastic particles just coming in contact with the capturing material. This reminds me of what I read about molecular biology - the way proteins capture stuff in cells is essentially by being correctly shaped + relying on random walk ensuring everything comes into contact with everything else at some point.
You can recover from a punch. You cant undelete your data once it falls on wrong hands and gets used against you (eg debt/purchase history).

As I said there are already enough physical measures (defence, surveillance etc) that can ensure public safety. However If I were to compromise: We can have multiple judges. An order should be vouched by more than one judge. It would be even better if the user can whitelist/blacklist judges to submit. Less bureaucratic liability for the state if data gets leaked/misused.
Ah, thank you. RSS would be great for me (and that API looks really neat!), but I meant more generally - perhaps for people who don't browse HN.

The content on Behind the Headlines is fantastic, but the page seems a bit unloved. If I search for "health news" on Google it doesn't appear at all (I checked the first 7 pages of results). The SEO for the individual articles is admittedly much better. I think I personally found the page by accident when I was looking for some news about the NHS.

So, I'm not sure what I'd recommend (other than perhaps an email newsletter for the less technically-inclined). It seems like you have a real diamond in the rough there with great content which is let down by presentation.
Or maybe "brightly high-lighted pointers".
