I actually submitted it trying to find a discussion, since I was having trouble searching for it. When it created a new story instead of linking to the past discussion I assumed it was new. Sorry about that!
I'm not sure I follow your question 100%, but I'm gonna take a stab...

The distinction being made here isn't for a single guest or multiple guests, it's for a single guest OS or nested guests (i.e. a VM running another VM). To expose the hardware virtualization extensions to the guest VMM, then they must be emulated by the privileged domain (host). There are software tricks that allow this emulation to happen pretty efficiently (and map an arbitrary level of guests onto the single level provided by the actual hardware). It's not a common use-case, but for a few very specific things it's very useful.

There are a few different ways to map I/O devices directly into domains. Some definitely allow for part of an I/O device. For example, many new network devices support SR-IOV -- which effectively allows you to poke it and create new virtual devices (which may be constrainted in some way) which can be mapped directly into guests.
Better D3 integration from within Python would be awesome.

The US is not a 'wartime state'. It's been committed to business as usual, and if you never bothered reading the news, you could get away with never knowing it was at war for the most part. No rationing or real shortages, no conscription, no opposing forces tromping over the nation, no aerial attacks. The US is technically at war, but its society isn't - if you don't want to sacrifice anything for your country, you can go about your business quite happily and undisturbed.
> That being said, the problem with many BL's is that they are run by incompetents or extremists.

Unfortunately, that includes Spamhaus.

It's a bit sad to see how many companies will blindly support such entities because they've "heard" that they somehow help fight spam. As someone who's had issues with them because of their badly configured hosts and shady practices (e.g. using domains previously used by mail providers as "spam honeypots", meaning anyone who emails someone with an old address can be banned [all content mailed there is considered spam, regardless of what it actually is]), I am disappointed (yes, looking at you cloudflare).
The best bet is to use the search engine below.
This is the most low-tech DDOS ever!
Peer-to-peer CDN
I think, basically, Spamhaus should be thought of as the Internet's equivalent to a Credit Ratings Agency (S&P, Moody's, Fitch, et al.)

In CRAs' own opinions, they are practicing "free speech" and giving what amounts to "numeric editorials on the quality of companies." In critics' opinions, large corporations and sometimes governments are relying on these "editorials", so CRAs' abilities to say whatever-the-heck-they-want should be regulated.
Mouse studies always turn out to be a tease when it comes to weightloss. I say we skip all the probiotic piddling and go straight for human fecal transplants.

Well, you're cursing again so you must be right.

Ok, so you were talking about cash vs non-cash, instead of solely threshhold amounts, as initially appeared to be the case. We get that. But, it doesn't matter. Again, you are missing the point about EXPANDED GOVERNMENT CAPABILITIES, irrespective of whether this one point about threshholds is about cash vs. non-cash. The article itself is about far more than just what's reportable. It is about things like broader access for sifting data, which also catches up innocent citizens, and under liberal retention policies.

You seem to be getting stuck. This is why you need to re-read the article instead of demanding that others do the same. And this is why you have failed to respond to my previous post, which clearly demonstrates that you have no idea what you're talking about.

You're just angry and making meaningless, half-baked points. Why are you so pissed anyway?

And, do I need to drop f-bombs to help you understand the article/discussion here?

Or maybe you should start over from the top:

Step 1: Read the article (for comprehension this time)...
Step 2: Form a relevant conclusion...
Most people tend to show up for part 1 at the bakery, but there's usually a couple people that show up late or only show up for part 2 at O'Brien's. Feel free to show up whenever you'd like. See you Friday!
"Hakitzu" Teaches Kids to Code With Robot Warriors
Depends on what you call scientific computing, Continuum Analytics appears to have a data/stats focus (I now work as a statistician and people talks good about their products, I never used them), there I believe Python has the possibility to displace R and Octave/SciLab/MatLab as the language for light academic stuff, for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and CEM (Computational Electrodynamics) guys generally run on C, C++ and Fortran, or whatever runs Numerical Linear Algebra faster, I doubt Python will take this post anytime soon.
I don't buy the performance argument (covered by other replies), but I too am getting sick of the "reinvent the OS inside the browser" mentality.

If the issue is one of security, the underlying OS should implement some kind of jail, which the browser can then call with whatever crazy native code the website serves. This will also end javascript's reign as the ONLY allowed language on the web (for purely arbitrary reasons).

But who am I kidding - this is never going to happen as long as Windows holds the majority OS share. And people are far too ingrained into the current ways. Long live JS as the new machine code, I guess.
You could always just sit, listen, and absorb the conversations. :)
> RBLs are a bad idea, they often end up in abuse.

Indeed, all they should be used for is perhaps 0.5 points worth of spamassassin weight. Sysadmins who use spamhaus as a blacklist are just as incompetent as those who bounce virus e-mails to the address in "From:" ...
Anyone using outdated browsers due to company requirements? Anyone using, for example, XP, which is fast losing browser support?

And yes, Word. Software people actually use. If you want your currency to succeed, you better hope that its symbol can be quickly and easily viewed by everyone.

And "a few months" is not really correct. Chrome 25 still doesn't support parts or all of the January 2012 version, released over a year ago.
'optimise the GPU for max performance'

I bet you will hear this kind of statement in the future, when more general purpose work will be done by the GPU. We already have C++AMP, and I bet, in the future, CPU's will be GPU like.
In fact, the Go team explicitly tells you not to do that: "do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating."

Sadly, that doesn't mean what you think it means. It really means: don't organize your IPC around shared state. The juxtaposition in the second half is not directly related to the first half (except poetically), though it does do a good job of completing the their picture of CSP. Also note: it is explicitly talking about shared (sadly mutable) state.

You can always opt not to share memory, but there's no facility to prove or enforce it. It's not dire, with practice you can send values, or never mutate referenced objects. It is very natural for the most part. I've done it, but not in Go.

Finally, it's not doom. Even C can do threading after all, and somehow these things don't blow up too much. But there's value in eliminating the pitfall entirely. When people criticize Go for being imperfect, they're not saying it's not going to work, they're contrasting with a more effective solution or lamenting that some design decisions weakened the effort.
Isn't it really fair to say that it's designed for both? The way it uses immutable state and something-similar-to-s-expressions to express data make it very straightforward (or even transparent) to distribute work between multiple processes and separate computers, in addition to how it makes it practical and simple to break work into small chunks that can be interleaved easily within the same thread. It's really designed for doing both very well, wouldn't you say?
Wow great project!
This is more the NSA's territory and they avoid splicing if at all possible and instead shave the cable.
It would be nice if there were a site dedicated to Hacker News meetups. It would be a lot easier to organize meetups when there were a place to go look for them and chat about them.

The CloudFlare blog entry had a linkbait title, but the Gizmodo journo missed the point of the content (or bluntly, did not bother reading it at all). This is what I took away from the CF post:

1. The attack on SpamHaus "wouldn't cause a network-wide outage, but it could potentially cause regional problems."

2. The DDoSers were attacking IXes, which is apparently unusual

3. The attack had the potential to take out an IX, which would break the regional internet

4. The source of attack was "open DNS recursors" which have the potential to be leveraged to much greater effect, increasing the likeliness of (3).

Yeah, the CF blog entry should have been called "The DDoS That Almost Broke the European Internet". But the Gizmodo journo one-upped the linkbaiting by frothily screaming "LIAR" without bothering to read the meat of the content.
It's interesting how pretty much everyone I ask about W13 has a different set of favorite startups, and the top one on one person's assessment can be the bottom on someone else's. That means any of the rankings really say more about the evaluator and his/her metrics vs. the startups themselves.

This really wasn't the case with previous batches, or most other groups of startups.
Thalmic and Semantics3 are absolutely working on crazy exciting stuff. I don't see how anybody could consider either of those boring.

The only problem I see with Semantics3 is access to the data they want to index. If they can sell merchants that having their stuff listed in their index is a valuable discovery mechanism and will help sales, it could work. But if merchants decide they don't want to be part of it and close off access to the underlying data, I think they'll have a tough row to hoe.
How did you become a cofounder if you and the "CEO" don't see eye to eye? Tell me I'm wrong: Comes across like you got suckered into working for very little for some "business visionary".

Must be getting real cheap weed. Surely seeing a psychiatrist would be a better "investment" for your mental health.

Could you elaborate on why you wouldn't last 1 week at a tech company?
Several options:

- Ideological motive: Internet corrupts people, we must protect them from evil influence.

- Political motive: Disrupting infrastructure as an attack on the current rulers.

- Financial motive: Maybe they sell cable repair services or satellite-based internet access.

Or just plain vandalism, which doesn't need a discernable motive.

No way of telling without asking them, I guess.
Take a deep breath, relax, and realise that plenty of people have use cases that are different to yours.

It can be tough but this is real life. You just have to deal with it. Don't sabotage your position - instead start planning a way out. You CAN make it in a tech company, it will just be a shift in habits. In the meantime work hard and exercise. Weed can exacerbate depressive symptoms especially in lieu of exercise. Best of luck my friend.
fyi, I get a white page in Opera.
We knew each other a little, and he was looking for a tech cofounder. I accepted. The "cofounder" title he offered me seemed shiny and respectable, now it almost feels misleading.

I am definitely working for a "business visionary", although he pays me decently and we have decent traction.

I wouldn't last a week at a tech company because I have huge troubles with authority and policies and rules etc. I've never had a "real job" in my life; always in not very interesting organizations (including academia) where my lack of discipline was tolerated.
Believe it or not, there are low-bullshit companies out there. And they are starving for smart, nice, and capable people. Given your visa is tied to your current startup, I would find a way to apply/interview while at your current position for as long as you can.

Meanwhile, I would have a larger conversation with the CEO. What is it exactly that makes working with him/her so hard? Can you discuss with them in a non confrontational manner?

I doubt, that you will find it easy to beat well written numeric Python code with naive C, C++ or Fortran approach.

Python is not inherently slower than C, C++ or Fortran. It is just a language after all. If you have a fast implementation of computational engine, like Numpy, you can reach speeds of C++ in computational tasks. If you have an optimizer that simplifies your math expressions, before running them - you can get better than naive C++ approach. An optimizer and computational engine that optimally offloads work from CPU to GPU can give an order of magnitude advantage over naive C++/blas code.

And to give you a concrete example - there is a nice Python library called Theano, that is doing just than.

Mathematics isn't politics or law. The point is to come to a consensus on the meaning of symbols and conventions. The consensus is that the ellipsis in 0.999... extends out to infinity.

In mathematics, there is every incentive to agree on axioms like the meaning of the ellipsis. In science, there is every incentive to agree on the meaning of evidence and how it relates to theory. Only in psychology do they vote on the meaning of their "scientific" findings (all the new conditions that made their way into the new DSM got there by votes, not evidence) -- but psychology isn't a science, it's a pseudoscience.

Meanwhile, based on the agreed-upon axioms, 0.999... is equal to 1.
Copy, paste. Simple.

Okay, I'll bite. I want you to know that what I'm saying I'm saying with love, as a bipolar technical co founder several times over. I find that people with mood disorders tend to either be very bad or very good at startups, depending on whether or not they have learned to manage their diseases. It sounds like you jumped in without learning to manage your depression first. It should be pretty obvious to you by now that a startup exacerbates the highs and the lows. What might not be obvious is that once you learn to deal with your depression, those same skills will transfer over to weathering the emotional roller coaster ride that comes with the territory of building and scaling a company. You have to fix your depression before you can expect anything to get better. Focus on that, first. A doctor would help, but isn't the only possibility. There are other options, from counselors to breakthrough.com to a copy of I'm O.K., You're O.K. and a good friend to talk to. And there are many things you can do for yourself, like exercise, take Omega 3's, keep a journal, and practice some form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hopefully with a professional, but if all else fails, you would be surprised how far you can get just winging it with someone who cares about you. I hope you feel better, soon. But don't be surprised or discouraged if it takes a while. Maybe this startup works out, maybe it doesn't. But if you do decide to "give up", at least don't give up from a depressed frame of mind. You'll regret it, trust me.

Money does wonders. And since we spend untold billions a year trying to lose weight or to mitigate it's side effects, the money is there.

Even if we lost half an ounce a day, it would be roughly 10lbs a year. More than enough for most people.

Not much has changed: there are still a bunch of hurdles holding back the average user. Those issues are still around today, and especially for newer hardware.

The biggest problem IMO is the graphics. On my laptop (a Dell XPS I purchased in 2011) the OSs I installed (Fedora and Ubuntu) couldn't render anything serious. If I wanted to watch a TV-HD release, the screen would flicker; if I wanted to make a 3D plot in Mathematica, it wouldn't show; if I wanted to play a simple, lightweight game like Teeworlds, it wouldn't run. I had to use Bumblebee to get around it, but graphics still lagged.

Some of these problems are common enough that you can just google up a solution, but you shouldn't have to do that in the first place. I really like the idea of a Linux desktop, but it's just not going to happen anytime in the near future.
This is total disregard for that the rest of the world considers valuable to them.

Yes and no. Where it's true, sure, arrogant jerks.

But the Lisp weenies have realized they know something the rest of the world doesn't. They think it's important, and it is in a sense. If only you knew that... you'd agree. (Ok, try not to take that too seriously.)

Unlike the impossibly abstract Lisp Truth™, this Erlang bit is centered in a very concrete fact that affects all of us. If you don't care about it today, it will affect you tomorrow all the same. You might as well argue that you never much cared for oxygen and who cares if the atmosphere is slowly turning to methane?

Joe wasn't saying you have to write Erlang, he was saying you need to write concurrent programs. If another language eats his lunch, it will probably do it in the same way that would be done in Erlang. There are alternatives, but the actor model is by far the most programmer-friendly that I have ever seen.
That sounds cool, and a lot like Erlang's iolists, right? The idea being that lists of byte arrays lets you do IO without all the memcpy that might otherwise be required?
Interesting. I'm also on iOS 6 and both show up for me. I wonder why.

Marco, you might also think of RSS readers like an archived narrow band search for high volume traffic. For example: I am a security researcher, so I susbscribe (via RSS) to everything security related that I can find: mailing lists, bleeding edge snort ruls, CVE, blogs, SANS, etc, etc.

Now when I want to see the current state of affairs in Ineternet Explorer security issues, I can simply search for "Internet Explorer" in my RSS reader. I am then presented with the traffic on the latest issues, their possible resolutions, and even possibly the person who discovered the issue.

The beauty of RSS is that it lets me decide what it will be, and when I want it to be that way.
In the nicest way possible: You are coming off as extraordinarily abrasive. If you think that doesn't matter because "facts are facts", you must be new to human society.

Can you clarify this statement? Perhaps there's missing context, but as it reads, it seems like a false statement. When I look at chrome://view-http-cache/, I see a bunch of https:// resources for google.com (which are served over SPDY).
>> (and having the interpreter get special status in breaking them, see generics)

>What's your point? Purity for purity's sake?

I assume the point is that the Go developers are saying "purity for thee, but not for me" (if you think generics are impure or unnecessary), or "generics for me, but not for thee", which is just annoying.
As far as I can tell that $10,000 limit was introduced in 1970(http://www.fincen.gov/news_room/aml_history.html) and never adjusted for inflation. In today's dollars that would be about a $60,000 cash transaction(http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%2410%2C000+1970+in+201...)
It was an example, bro.

There actually is a standard NEMA connector for 240V 15A loads-- NEMA 6-15. It's less than common, as you'd expect.

(Running a 240V 15A circuit would be easy, all cable is rated to 600V anyway, it'd just be regular 14/2 romex. I've never actually done that, but it's possible. (Clothes dryers and ovens always use 6/3 or whatever, which will let you run 120V components off the hot-neutral circuit. 240V 14/2 would be hot-hot.))

SpaceX Resume
Hi everyone,
I've made an online resume at http://www.spacexresume.appspot.com in an attempt to get a position at SpaceX. I'm posting it here looking for any comments or advice you guys might have and to use you as a resource to help my chances. It may also help in the off chance the right person sees it and likes it.

A couple comments: 1. I've intentionally broken some links to content I don't want posted in this version
2. Part of me is nervous about posting this to the wild. I've copied SpaceX's base webpage without explicit permission, but my intentions are good and believe it's an innocent use of their source code. If some of you disagree, I'll take it down.
3. If anyone works/knows anyone that works at SpaceX, feel free to put in a good word for me =)
Thanks everyone,
-Cole
Gnome has improved much since 3.2.
Not all software engineers are equal. For example, a web developer wouldn't need to know about logic controllers, an important aspect of formal verification and analysis.

They also wouldn't need to know much about scalability or documentation, not yet anyways. Many of us here absorb knowledge like a sponge, and learning stuff not directly relevant to what I am focused on "right now" is a distraction.
