The New York Times’s Arthur Sulzberger Jr. and the Demise of Janet Robinson
CUDA (and OpenCL) C is just like C, with the exception that recursion is not allowed because there is no runtime stack to support it. Instead, there's just a lot of registers.

However, the main difference is the number of different types memories there are available. That makes GPU programming very tricky indeed. There's around 6 different types of memory visible to the programmer, each with it's own distinct access times and restrictions. On the host side (CPU), there's regular memory and page-aligned DMA buffers. On the device (GPU), there's constant, global, local and texture memory. Most of the time it's clear which memory you should use, but occasionally it takes some thinking. Especially deciding whether something should go to texture memory or global memory can be difficult without doing it first and benchmarking.
Think point is. Unless that voice is carried over telecommunications network to, say central processing center.
I wonder why people make so much different rich text editor. while i only use Markdown format for my projects. I wonder about the Rich Text to HTML compatibility (some rich text editor have problem with interpreting formatted text into the HTML, since then i afraid to use rich text editor and more using it).

It's a persistent data structure optimized for static lookup tables. Bernstein's qmail and djbdns use it for mail routing and DNS zone data, respectively.
Not at all, the tool does everything it was designed to do (at least for my projects) and I had some really nice feedback. I didn't create this to compete with anything out there, I was basically scratching my own itch since I didn't find any readily available tool that produced the result I needed.

And I will again point to you that lightweight is relative, if you know a better way to fake an X Server without xvfb just let me know and I'll use it on my tool.
YMMV, while I don't do TDD, my unit-tests are fast because I use mock (I don't need to optimize by the way... it's just .. habits).

YMMV, while people disagree with the use of mocking, I find it to be valuable to write unit-tests. Does it represent the real-life production grade environment? no, so does the UAT/TEST environment.

It is meant to be that way, nobody able to test in real-life production grade environment (real data, real performance measure). Tests are always done in a more controlled situation.
I suggest you do, his books are awesome.

It's useful if you have data that is easy to cache (i.e., rebuilt every 6 hours) but very commonly accessed. Because the lookups are so quick (two seeks) it's almost raw disk speed. But yeah, rebuilding the files is an offline process (build new file and swap it in using a rename), so your data has to be cache-friendly.

It's a good alternative to memcache if your data is larger than what memcached can support in RAM.

In the early 2000s I used it to implement most of the frontend for a PPC marketplace for search engines. Held up well. These days I'd just use memcached or redis.
The original virus may have only been a few hundred KB, which then bootstrapped the rest of the program. Just because you're writing malware doesn't mean you have to sacrifice good tools.
I'm confused about the timeline in the NYTimes article. The gunfire was detected at 7:22:07, and tactical team arrives at 7:25:02 (Pacific). The article says, "Total elapsed time: 3 minutes, 55 seconds."

Isn't that a total elapsed time of 2 minutes, 55 seconds?

How To Write A Blog, In A Manner That People Want To Read
Ask HN: Pre-seed round: Anyone got a spare office for a lone wolf?
Hey, I've been out here for a few years, mostly staying with coder/devops friends while working towards a product launch. Progress is great, but my living situation could be more stable/facilitate concentration more efficiently.

Maybe a long shot, maybe not, can't hurt to ask:

Anyone out there have an office building/warehouse they aren't using they would trade for, say, 4-6 months or so for a percent or two of a large established project?

I'm a stubborn, neurotic, antisocial, easily distracted jerk with a terrible sense of humor (so I'd like to stay in this area where I fit in!)
but I won't mess up your stuff or light the place on fire or anything, though I might leave some coffee stains next to the sink.

If by chance one of you guys recently outgrew a small warehouse or something, please let me know, and I'll show you what I've got.

Side Comment: If Oracle prevails in copyrighting an API this problem will get worse.

I ran smack into a variant of this problem playing around with ARM chips, libc. Its one of the places where gcc has really let me down, because if you get an ARM cross compiler its expecting anything and everything. The various flavors of C library are all bulky and nicely modularized but somehow less useful. And of course there are things in there which assume an OS (stdio for example) or at least a model that the code adheres to) but embedded systems are sometimes not that easily adapted.

And there are libraries provided by the manufacturers which have copyright notices in them about how this code can only be compiled to run on their (the manufacturer's) brand of ARM and when I look at the code I keep thinking "Hmm, I bet if I dug up the code I wrote for SunOS 4.0 when I was but a wee kernel hacker to make libc work with shared libraries, that a lot of it would be eerily familiar :-)

So what it boils down to are that there are 'things' and the useful things are 'memory abstraction (bcopy/memcpy etc)' string abstractions 'str' and character abstractions 'is' and then io abstractions (open/close/read/write/seek/rewind) and then thread abstractions (fork/sleep/wake/longjmp/yield) and suddenly your USLS is basically an OS API (or it could be) and you're back to square zero.

So rather than a universal library, why not universal VIM code? VIM is already syntax aware based on your language you could add the ability to insert the appropriate code to do what you wanted to do while you were editing. So if you had a variable and you typed if a:upcase == b:upcase it would syntactically awarely conver a:upcase to 'strtoupper(a)' or u"$a" or a->upper() or what ever the language you were writing in needed. Sort of a markdown for library calls. Then you train your fingers to type the markdown and be done with it.

CUDA 5.0 (not released yet) is going to have recursion and a bunch of other things. But most of these new features are available only on the new kepler 2 devices.

As for memories, it becomes natural once you start programming CUDA day in and day out and understand the algorithm well enough :)

I would love to see the binary, even if it means waiting until vulnerabilities are patched.
Is there really space for facebook in the mobile operating system and browser realm though? The way I see it facebook's best bet is NOT to try and make its own phone and operating system, which is way beyond their specialty and current capability. No offense to all the web-devs here but web programmers are not operating system programmers in the same way operating system programmers are not web programmers. Not to mention the hardware side of what it takes to make a phone (although they could outsource the hardware to another company similar to the way the Google Nexus program works).

Instead, in my humble-yet-broadly-assumptive opinion, the best R.O.I. for facebook would be to try and lobby for greater integration in the phones and mobile operating systems that already exist rather than try and reinvent the wheel on their own. I think they missed a major opportunity by not becoming integrated in the iPhone (losing out to twitter), but I don't think they entirely missed the boat there. If any platform opened up enough to allow facebook to become a viable way of sending messages, finding contacts, and sharing photos and the like, it would not only provide a valuable user experience but also prove profitable for all parties involved.
Just curios, how many here use CUDA / OpenCL on a regular basis ? I usually see GPU related posts come to the top around midnight or in the early hours of the day (off-peak hours to be precise).

Makes me think that there are enough people working on GPUs out there, just not enough to stand out from the web-dev or other related news that usually get voted up..
Use chrome! It's probably more secure than downloading the PDF and opening it with Adobe software.
whoa: recursion has been supported since Fermi support was released in CUDA 3.0 (there's a stack pointer and a stack frame and everything). what's not supported until GK110 (Kepler 2) is GPU kernels launching/waiting on GPU kernels.

generally (and especially in the case of the upcoming GK110 chip), you should use global memory. GK110 improves this with LDG, which allows you to get some caching benefits of texture (spatial locality) without having to jump through the API hoops required to use textures.

(full disclosure: I run the CUDA driver team at NVIDIA)

" Internal HR people exist to help the company fire people they want to fire, maintain regulatory compliance, and that's about it."

Sadly this is true. I had a startup that was acquired and we went from being a 50 person company to being a 250 person company, and later nearly a 1500 person company. And our original HR person who was more of the morale/culture/lets stay balanced kind of person, quit after the 'real' HR people explained to her what her job in HR was. I was helpless to change her fate and that really bothered me for a long time. After that and later Sarbanes Oxley and "Regulation FD" stuff were on everyone's mind, the people that called themselves 'HR' became compliance officers. Their job is/was to protect the company. That was sad for me.
I can see why missing a holiday would suck, but you don't see the appeal of having a relatively confined and well-defined problem to solve? I find a good debugging very soothing after long stretches of greenfield development. Mind you, I don't want to miss a holiday over it, and I'd rather go and build new shit all day most days, but reality is, you have to debug sometimes, and you might as well take whatever satisfaction you can from the process.
I haven't had any issues with the multimonitors besides:

- The Fedora defaults for background image stretches a 1920x1080 picture across what is effectively 3840x1080 pixels. There doesn't appear to be an elegant way to set a background image for a multimonitor setup, so I just paste together two different 1920x1080 pictures to form a 3840x1080 picture when I need to set something as my background image.

- The panel defaults to being stretched across both screens so I needed to adjust its size. Very minor annoyance that this doesn't work by default.

-----

There's also a larger issue with fullscreen.

Fullscreen on most applications that try to launch fullscreen, especially games with SDL, appears to be broken. Apparently they see my displays as one large 3840x1080 monitor instead of two separate 1920x1080 monitors. They then throw some type of error about unsupported resolution and switch into windowed mode (or, rarely, they crash).

I set Ctrl+F11 as a custom hot key to force fullscreen, which seems to work on almost everything. So I launch things in windowed mode, drag the window to the monitor I want to use the application on, and then press Ctrl+F11 to make it take fullscreen on that monitor. If that for some reason doesn't work, I can maximize the screen and remove the Openbox window decoration.

VirtualBox is the one application I regularly use that seems to handle fullscreen okay without any effort on my part. RightCtrl+F makes the VM fullscreen on its current monitor without any issues and VirtualBox remembers this and has no issues launching into fullscreen, either. Thus, it's probably an issue with common libraries and not with LXDE itself.

GNOME 3 sometimes has problems similar to this, especially when games using SDL attempt to launch into fullscreen at the start. I prefer LXDE's workarounds to the ones I had to use in GNOME 3. I especially like LXDE+Openbox's ability to remove window decorations just by right clicking on the window title bar at the top and selecting the appropriate option.
Markdown is great for projects where the users don't mind writing using code. WYSISYG editors are nice for people who are not technical at all to manage their website and things like that.

They do sometimes produce really terrible HTML though, especially because people copy/paste from MS Word and it results in a bunch of garbage.
Thanks for sharing, and Space Invaders it's a classic!
What about Bottle? It's a micro-framework, but it looks pretty awesome.
Actually macros are not first-class in Arc (though they are stored in the same namespace as everything else, unlike in Scheme). You can't return one from a function, for instance. They were a feature of early implementations (they're mentioned in various places in old stuff related to its development), but they were cut before the first release. When I asked pg why he removed them, his answer was:

> I don't remember. It was either because they were useless or confusing or intellectually inelegant.

Having experienced first-class macros in my own Lisp implementation, I'm inclined to agree. Though there are various promises of efficient implementations scattered through the internet, nobody actually goes into enough detail to explain it. Non-first-class macros are the way to go for efficiency, at least, and first-class macros themselves are fairly useless.

An Email Fanatic’s Guide to Organizing Your Inbox
I guess it all depends on how picky one want to be.

Before the generation of consoles that includes the xbox, I can't remember of any real attempt to lock them down by preventing unsigned code the be run (and I don't consider not releasing an SDK really a walled garden).

I also don't remember Windows Mobile preventing people to run homebrew code and Symbian enforced signed-only code roughly when Nokia N82/N95 came around.

Anyway, locking some API/functionalities is different from requiring all code to be signed which in turn is different from requiring that all code must be distributed by a single entity (that can apply arbitrary terms of conditions to distribute it).

Although In logic "slippery slope" reasoning is a fallacy, in -real-life, it happens all the time. Draconian rules are introduced one step at a time so I still think that was about the right time to vote with your wallet.

I, too, very much enjoy debugging at times. There is something very satisfying about digging deep into some code base and coming out triumphant with that elusive single-line fix. It makes you feel like you are smarter than the code's author.

That said, other times it can be really annoying, too.

Email II

That's the key right there, I think. The email-killer is not some wild off-the-wall idea with a zany name that tries to pretend email never happened; it is email II. It is still email- just, the email of the future.

Come to think of it, you see this trend in a lot of tech history. The successor is a descendant, rather than usurper.
This is such a frustrating issue I find, particularly in the valley. I suspect one can detect that emotion in what follows..

Absolutes have utility, it takes far more cognitive processing for my brain to say. "By and large, blah blah, for example, then list 3 counter examples" just for your benefit so that you can see, "oh ok this guy is not a dumb manager type" or whatever categorization goes on behind polite judgements in your subconsious.

So if you think I should learn to use absolutes less, your type of thinking should learn to understand the concept of opportunity cost, and just how prevalent it is.

Even thinking a thought, is an opportunity cost. Reading this sentence is an opportunity cost. The reason Musk got to where he was, is precisely because he didn't write 500 page essays that explained his position comprehensively.

That is the tradeoff one faces as an entrepreneur. People often spot the pattern of my "black and white" thinking and assume that I actually am specifically attached to that attitude. False. That is more common with an STJ type.

Another common issue is that NTP's tend to be more impartial. But the presence of ego words like "me, I," etc does not actually mean I'm invested in the outcome of the statements. Simply it's derived from a natural cognitive style, that tends to see things from my own perspective.

Being able to see multiple perspectives, does NOT equate to objectivity. That is probably the biggest fallacy of all the NTP's.

People seem to love the concept of the wisdom of crowds. Well what about the stupidity of crowds? (eg religion)
Sure there is. Steve Jobs was just an exceptional entrepreneur and there'll be many who follow. If you look at the past we see tons of people who obsessed over their work. Some of them achieved great success while others did not.

If you're talking about Steve Jobs, the person and not the accomplishments, then I agree. But there's no "next Jaisen Mathai" either then.
Yeah sure, there's this impending Euro zone collapse, millions of death due to famine in Africa, rampant obesity throughout the world, decades of war in the middle east. What really is destroying the world is an internet software feature 99% of the planet never heard of.
