Could someone elaborate how x11/xterm compares to iTerm2? I've been using tmux in iTerm. After reading this discussion, i installed x11 and quartz-wm. Why would I switch to X11 ?

(I do notice that within tmux on iterm, i can use the mouse for selection (using Alt), but the mouse does not work in tmux in xterm.)
You have to patch the kernel ?

That doesn't like a good solution at all.

AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange markets.

We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything. We design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets. We are a very small team (currently, I am the only employee) and are looking to add one or two engineers in the coming months who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.

No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be interested in financial markets and to be able to carefully implement your strategies in C++.

6 Core Elements of Winning Startup Launch Content
How to be a star
I'm an iOS in the Midwest that specializes in apps that integrate into web services. This last month just some of my work includes an app that is used to help athletes train, a photo effects application, and an application that uses MapKit and an external API.

Email me at jon@z-prototype.com and we can go over your idea for free, no strings attached. Unlike others I don't charge for or set a time limit on meetings - meetings are always free, because I want to build you the product you want. You pay only for time I spend coding.
One data point doesn't mean anything... It's the uncertainty that you might spend 1h in line that makes you waste time in the end.

>I'm not sure which gap you think needs to be bridged here?

I said it explicitly: "there is simply no good reason to believe that mycotoxin levels in ordinary coffee are high enough to have any measurable effect on humans who drink it."

>When I look at it, I don't think "butter protects against heart problems" (which seems to be your interpretation, and I agree cannot be concluded from this data, not even remotely), but rather "butter can't be the evil it is made to be, as this statistic shows". Which is perfectly reasonable.

It isn't perfectly reasonable. Life expectancy in 1910 was 48 for men, and 51 for women. The average age for heart attacks today is 66 for and 70 for women. Some, but not all of that is infant mortality, yes, but the fact is that if people in 1910 had less heart disease than people today, it is likely largely because people in 1910 often didn't long enough for heart disease to become a problem.

And that's just one factor that the comparison fails to control for. The way people lived and ate in 1910 was completely different from the way people lived and ate in 2000, and it is quite likely that those changes simply overwhelm the change with respect to one particular kind of saturated fat. That doesn't mean that butter fat is harmless. It just means that you can't see the harm if you also change everything else.

As a side note, where are these statistics about heart disease in 1910 coming from? We get the top-level URL for dietheartpublishing.com (which is low on data, high on sensationalist paleo-quackery), but no link to specific data. Are we relying on what doctors were able to diagnose in 1910? Because that's a whole other level of flawed.

>I've tried several things they recommend, and the vast majority of the practice checks out (regardless of the theory behind it).

What you think you've experienced through personal trials is not significant evidence.

Modern commercial airliners do not land themselves without human input. Someone needs to dial in a whole bunch of parameters then monitor the instruments carefully.

Autopilots aren't infallible; they're basically glorified cruise control with three axes of freedom rather than one.

(I will grant you that commercial aircraft with ILS can land in zero visibility conditions, but that's a very long way from being able to fly themselves to an arbitrary destination without human direction.)
Which still doesn't change the times involved getting to and from the airport. These are often worse than the flights themselves. Better to engage remotely rather than travel at all.
Yeah, the list is only Ruby, JS and PHP currently but will add more generators from other languages as soon as possible.
Ha. The optional dynamic backend got taken out during a rewrite in August but it was never very interesting. The new plugin and theme support is much more interesting. ;)

I disagree, benefitting from 48 cores on the SCC would be easy, if the other (solvable) problems plaguing the SCC wouldn't get in the way. The bigger issues plaguing the SCC were:

The use of old P54C core, while understandable from hardware point (design already existed, no need to validate/test) this decision has big consequences. The core can only support a single outstanding memory operation, crippling memory performance. Doubly so because it does not support out-of-order execution, meaning the core is stalled until memory requests finish.

Furthermore, the lack of L2 cache consistency lets you experiment nicely with NUMA and the combination of reprogrammable lookup tables and more physical memory than address space (34 bit vs 32 bit) lets you do nice tricks to share/communicate data between cores with zero copying needed. Unfortunately (due to time/budget constraints) Intel didn't implement any programmable expiration/invalidation/flushing of the L2 cache. This means that any application wanting to use these tricks had no solution beyond reading in a full 256KB (with the proper striding to make sure you actually cache miss on all of those 256KB!) to flush the cache. Such a flush takes approximately 500k CPU cycles, almost guaranteed killing any performance gained from zero copy tricks.

The fact that cores were 32bit is also extremely, as you quickly consume your entire address space when you start playing around with the above mentioned sort of memory shenanigans.

There were some more fairly minor issues, but these are the ones that initially pop in my head.

iOS / Android app development.

I'll build you an app that will literally figuratively blow your pants clean off. Also, I'll do it from $2000.

Reasons:

I've done a few of these now but the majority are in-house apps and as such I have little to show. I need to build up a bit of a portfolio that folks can actually see.

Also, due to personal circumstances, my hours are all over the place so I'm not Johnny Officehours.

I also have many, many years of web app dev and design experience. Happy to go into more detail via e-message and discuss all the bits & pieces.

The grandparent is right, the problem with multi-core is the L1 and L2 bottlenecking operations. The cache consistency protocols used to keep memory consistent between cores introduce more and more overhead as you introduce more cores. This is one of the reasons Intel's experimental SCC had no cache consistency. Eliminating cache consistency in multi core chips is the simplest way to eliminate the cache bottleneck.

I never got used to the OS X mouse curve either. The mouse acceleration on the Mac has always been a bit leaden at low speeds, and too fast at higher speeds, even with Mac OS. It's odd, because the trackpad acceleration is very well done.

The best solution I've found is to buy a Microsoft mouse. As with most Microsoft hardware, they're good value. You can then use the supplied Intellipoint for Mac OS X software, which, along with a bunch of pointless junk, lets you activate a Windows-style acceleration curve. It might sound daft, but this utterly transformed my experience of OS X.

No, but this is HN.
> It is a bit like assembly programming vs compilers. Sure clever programmers can beat most compilers when targeting simple processors, but when you level up with out-of-order executing, multiple instruction pairing, multiple level caches, NUMA, and so on, the compiler optimizer usually wins hands down.

I disagree. Real HP software have their computation kernels hand written (or generated) in assembly. As for relying on the smartness of the compiler to take into account all those factors I invite you to recall or read the story of the itanium architecture.

Hey man, speak for yourself. Not all of us write crappy code.
Here's my guess - Google will offer a service where you can have some or all of your mail forwarded to a BufferBox. That mail will be scanned by Google - applying the technology they honed from scanning books, and possibly also the technology they purchased with re-captcha. So now you've got mail in digital form, which they'll make available to you online for review - with the option to have things you want handled in-person to either your actual mailbox, or to your buffer-box.

The problem is - people have no experiencing with Google related to mail - so they may be reluctant to trust them to be part of this equation. So they start with packages - offering a service to help out with package delivery, and acclimating people to Google being part of the mail-delivery equation. When people are ready, they offer the scanning service.

Right on. This is related to "the big rewrite" that kills a lot of projects. Time and usage makes code value go up. Even if it’s written in an old framework that you wouldn’t use today, uses urllib instead of requests. Just ignore the urge and move on (for now).

I’ve recently worked on an old project (www.oath.is), dusted it and launched it as an app. It was a Django project and my urge was to rewrite the whole thing so I could use SQLAlchemy and Flask which I had picked up in the meantime. On the frontend I immediately wanted to rewrite everything in CoffeeScript and Backbone.js. But I resisted it and managed to spend my time adding features, a new design and unit tests and launched in like a week. After launching I had some extra time to rewrite the jQuery-spagetthi, which paved the way for some more advanced client side features without becoming a horrible mess. So I guess you have to make that decision multiple times over the lifetime of a project. But yes, holding off the urge is a good practise.
