Anybody who's been around a while has seen this happen before - probably many many times.

You don't think answering the question "How can I run complicated and probably out-of-support software on the same out-of-support-and-vulnerable machine that controls a _bandsaw_?" is not the right thing to do?
It's one of the reasons for gravitating towards open source and specialist firmwares. These sorts of devices are too sophisticated to be trustworthy.
Lovely. Looking forward to it.
Hi There, it's a launch page for now with launch rock. As for data, I don't believe in selling user data itself. I'd only ever consider selling intelligence based on machine learning which looks at the user base as a whole.

I 100% agree with you that you have to earn respect - but not on the part that you do not deserve it anymore if you start a discussion. Even if we would agree, no respect does not equals being unfriendly and calling names.

It is proven, because groups of people went through the effort of spending time and effort implementing those systems and used them for daily work as well.

It not just talk about some guys showing up papers at OS geek conferences.

The Oberon Native for example, was for long time the main operating system at the operating system research department at ETHZ. Most researchers used it as their daily OS for all tasks you can think of.

The GC was done at kernel level. Besides Oberon code, there is just a little bit of assembly for the device drivers and boot loader.

Awesome. However they still have a very convenient way to also object to this: just re-iterating that their concerns are years of construction activity and increased foot traffic, two things that would still exist with the new proposal.

Yeah, but I think it's still something to keep in because it calls into question the rationale for 3 "tiers" in the first place. The anti-features involved in making tier 2 and 3 probably have higher costs than the supposed "open" model in tier 1. Also, I would really be keen on having the option of looking at the source code of something that can mess with my conciousness.
Of course you need extra certification for teaching special needs. That's not the point. My question is, do you need a college degree for it?

I used this example because it relates to my mother, who recently got a master in this field. First of all, I'm proud of how my mother pulled that off at that age, while still working at her old job!

That said, the courses were largely theoretical mixed with a minuscule amount of practical studies. How many of the graduates will be able to pursue an academic career in this field after this degree? Maybe 1% (Note, this number is pure guesswork). The rest will actually end up assisting kindergarten teachers with their "disorderly" children.

In many cases, they should function as a buffer, protecting the child from overzealous kindergarten teachers who want to get rid of the troublemakers asap. This is important because a lot of developmental "deficiencies" are not there forever or can be mitigated. I digress. From my point of view, the actual theoretical work was frankly substandard. I don't think it has to do with me applying the standards of "hard science" to a "soft field". No, simply put, those professors didn't know that much to begin with and neither did many of the students.
Spawnfest 2012: a 48 hour programming contest featuring Erlang 
Hi everybody,

It's time for the second Spawnfest (48 hour programming contest for Erlang, much like Rails Rumble and Node Knockout) and this year it is scheduled for 7th and 8th of July 2012.

Our committee is currently working on sponsors and prizes. We've secured some of the big names in the Erlang community as judges.

We're very excited about this opportunity to show the world what Erlang/OTP is capable of! The contest is not limiting entrants to web applications, in fact, we'll be having nominees in different categories.

You can register your team at http://spawnfest.com/
The copyright issue that they've raised is actually one of the parts of copyright that I consider mind-blowing. The idea that memory is copying changes a great deal of the discussion -- for example, when the movie industry says "oh man, we're losing profits because all these people are getting free copies from the Internet," there is a direct parallel to them saying, "oh man, we're losing profits because all these people are remembering." Imagine, they spend all those millions of dollars on new films when they could just spend that as a one-time cost and zap us all with a Forgetting Ray as we leave the theater. Did you feel entitled to keep those memories? Ugh, kids these days, feeling entitled to copy our movie and share it with their friends.

What is not really addressed here, and you're hinting at it, is whether your after-death experience requires working for a living. The premium service mentions a 'subscription' so I assume it does. It's not strictly true that "Dead people don't buy things again." I mean, you might not buy physical clothes again, but you might pay the Life Store for trendy clothing-data that someone has coded for them.

I especially liked the "you can either agree to our Terms of Use or die, your choice."

No, I'm sorry. When you believe that someone is going to harm themselves or others with their decisions, and no one else has mentioned the dangerous of their intentions, it is the kind thing to do to warn them. This is especially the case here. This person wanted to do something clearly dangerous and with a critical system (see critical systems testing) that could potentially encourage it to fail and cause lives to be lost. They needed to be warned. Not answering when there is great danger is just as cruel as answering with the help to make it happen because yes, someone will help.
Then you get to go to heaven. Which might sound better at first, but you might have to agree to an even stricter TOS to stay there.

Daily Food With Harmful Chemicals
Half of the composition of the melted cheese is cream and half is butter, starch and additives like polyphosphate and melting salts. These food additives decrease calcium absorption. Besides additives, melted cheese contains a lot of fats that thicken the blood vessels.
And what about the daylight savings time issue specified in the article?
Except that will fail if you're doing any kind of appointment calendaring if the date of DST changes after you've made the appointment (which it does at the whim of governments).

When I schedule an appointment for 5pm on November 4th in San Francisco, I expect it to stay 5pm on November 4th regardless of what the offset from UTC happens to be on that date. If for some reason, the California decides PST starts on the 5th after I've made my appointment, I do not want to show up an hour late.

Worse, if I schedule a repeating appointment for November 4th at 5 pm, then I do not want to show up an hour late or early every year depending on what date DST falls on.

This is why calendaring software often stores in local time or local time + Olson location (e.g. America/Los_Angeles) or time zone id (US-Western).

Why does no one want to actually _answer his question_?

Because it was a stupid question. Running a networked time clock application on the same Windows 3.1 machine that runs a band saw is a stupid idea.

This is a naked class-warfare piece with no interesting HN angle (as if George is not firmly rich himself), and probably a biased one-sided summary of a complicated topic to boot.

The author is right about some things, wrong about others. He's right that student debt is a timebomb. Anyone who knows a student struggling with it realizes this. The amount of debt students are saddled with is astronomical, and has turned this generation into a one of indentured servitude to their financiers. Something is going to have to give.

He's wrong, at least somewhat, on what the future holds. There are multiple roles to a university, and multiple motives to developing a higher education. I think some of these roles are ripe for disruption, others not so much.

It's hard to imagine graduate-level research happening in any other environment than an academic university. It's easy to imagine an undergraduate education in engineering or mathematics being delivered and certified completely through the internet.

Harder to imagine, but possible, are "micro-universities" which pop up organically that criss-cross with meatspace, which re-use existing course materials for information transfer but also incorporate the less tangible things such as "learning to learn" and in-person collaboration. I can imagine seeing job candidates walk in the door that have a completely custom education, self-driven by their own particular desires and nurtured and accredited as focused, disciplined study by these micro-universities.

It's truly an exciting time in education. I imagine the initiatives we're seeing now from Khan Academy, Coursera, and Udacity will be looked back upon as groundbreaking but charmingly rudimentary 10 years from now. I expect big things as more and more smart people begin to tip-toe away from traditional educational models and take bigger risks, both as students and as teachers, by inventing new models for education.

Here's a revolutionary idea: let's make bankruptcy easier.

I've paid more than I borrowed, and I still owe more than I've paid. I have dozens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, and I'm on the doorstep of defaulting on some of it.

Mark Cuban's right. The money is insanely easy for everyone to get. Sallie Mae, AES, and the rest are happy to give students money. Colleges are happy to take money from students, and pass or fail (I failed), bad situation or not, the guarantors will get their money from the student. Legally, you can't escape that loan via bankruptcy. The guarantor can even garnish your wages.

I don't WANT to support bankruptcy. I certainly didn't think I'd be in the situation to have looked into it when I took that first loan out in 2002. But a funny thing happened on October 17, 2005. On that date, all federal student loans, even private ones, became effectively immune to dismissal via bankruptcy.

Now, the law still says "excepting such debt from discharge under this paragraph would impose an undue hardship on the debtor and the debtor's dependents", but call a lawyer. They will tell you, flatly, "you can't dismiss any federal student loan debt through bankruptcy." Not "it's hard", but "you can't". (Seriously, call one up for free and ask if they handle bankruptcy cases with large amounts of student loan debt.)

As it is, currently the only loser in the system is the borrower. The school gets their money up front, the lender gets theirs from the guarantor, and the guarantor gets theirs from the borrower, even when it's blood from a stone.

1/5th of students default on their debt. That's not even counting those that make payments, but are barely getting by. Let people get out from their student loan debt, and, well, I'm not talking about dumping a trillion dollars into the economy. But many people who can barely make rent (or those like me who can't), are suddenly covered. I'm off couches and renting an apartment. People in apartments are buying homes. People scraping buy are making leisure purchases.

I imagine they'll have a much harder time fighting low-income housing than a movie studio. It might be possible to block it quietly somewhere else, but not with George Lucas and an agenda behind it.

I'm sure they're not making this play blind. I'm guessing it was established beforehand that only housing proposals would be allowed to go through -- but never what type of housing.

You have to love the amount of arrogance displayed here. Nothing like using "poor people" as a weapon.
I try to use perl instead of sed, awk, bash each time the needs are beyond basic usage. This applies also sometimes for xargs for example with the following command.
find . -name junk\* | perl -nle unlink

My favorite usage of xargs if for parallel operations:
cat hostlist | xargs -P 0 -n 1 -I host rsh host gzip -9 log/*.log

Dart views types as helpful documentation and a way to help tools assist with things, period. I actually find it rather refreshing to have a language that treats types as just documentation since that is really what they are for the programmer

But, just like documentation, if it gets out of date you're really wonked.

I'd prefer something that is both useful as documentation and is used by the compiler (a la Haskell's type classes).
Am I the only one who thinks this makes George Lucas look like a dick?

Also, why is this on HN?
Wow. I'm sure he's been having one of the worst periods of his life right now. Now that he's out of the Yahoo investor spotlight, I hope he talks about this ordeal from his point of view. I'd love to hear it. The comp sci degree really seems like a small lie that just snowballed into something huge.
4 years and $50-100k of debt is in no way an efficient way to surface those signals.

I agree that some things like research can't be done online. But I don't think those will remain at the university either. Graduate/research degrees must represent such a small % of a university's revenue that when the majority goes away they simply won't be able to survive.

Just ask the RIAA if they can survive by selling mp3s when they're used to selling overpriced CDs.
It's completely reasonable to warn them. It's not reasonable to post yet another warning in a thread consisting entirely of warnings and no answers.

It's possible that they don't know what they are doing. It's also possible that you don't know what they are doing. In this case, for example, it looks like the time clock software actually interfaces with the saw controller.

If you feel this level of risk aversion is unacceptable - well, I hope you have a better argument than what's been posted so far.
Whilst I'm sure the growth rate will slow, I think there is potential for it to hit a consistent long term growth trend.

Minecraft is basically a modern version of Lego - and Lego has for the most part been consistently popular and sells well. There is a constant batch of new customers (ie kids) who will always enjoy the freedom of exercising their imagination and building their own worlds.

The Mass Effect 3 ending was shit. Not artistic, not creative. Shit. A piece of storytelling so completely divorced from the previous narrative tapestry as to make even professors of English literature wince with disappointment. Its only explanations are rushed development or a lapse in creative oversight.

On top of being shit, it was not at all what was described by the project leads in interviews or in advertising. Game consumers are "entitled" to receive what is advertised – return policies don't let them vote with their dollars once a deception is unmasked.

You sound like you're parroting the narrative of an industry-captured press, rather than detailing first-hand knowledge of the situation.

Agreed!

You want to find the people who care enough about technology (of whatever type) to invest their own time and resources in it. I've met too many so-called professionals who see development as their job, and see no reason whatsoever to do it for recreation.

The only "no" answer that I ever respected in this regard was "Hobbies? I am working two jobs to get through school. I have no time to do anything but work and study."
I created a useful LSH algorithm for real-valued vector data. Its strong suit is that it is deterministic. In other words, it is deterministically guaranteed to find all close-enough neighbors, and omit all far-enough neighbors. Most other LSH algorithms do not provide both of these guarantees deterministically -- instead they strive toward those goals probabilistically. It's also fast, conceptually simple, and built on top of a very cool non-obvious tessellation of arbitrarily high dimensions.

Here are some slides on it:

Chinese reaction? I'm thinking nothing.

People who care about this privacy issue usually don't use ZTE. No offense, but ZTE aims at the entry-level consumers, most of whom don't know what root is and only buy ZTE for the low price.

Besides, in China, there are way more to be worried than this non-issue. You know it...
My kneejerk reaction to this is that it's very hard for a programmer-type to write. Part of programming is of course discipline, attention to detail, conciseness, etc. The same things apply to writing but it comes across much much harder because we don't actively write, we code.

So writing is hard and when we write we know we suck. And we don't want to publish things that suck so we don't publish at at all!

Finally, blogging software is a pain in the ass to deal with as a programmer. Over the years I've had 5 properties (2 WP blogs, google group, posterous, custom site, and tumblr) I'd post at most 3 articles to them and then go years without updating it.

I just didn't get the workflow, and maybe that's an excuse but now I think writing is so important that I did what any insane programmer would do when faced with a "my tools aren't good enough" challenge, I made it my damned self:
