The Restricted Boltzmann Machine and Dreams
Thank you. That formalizes a lot of what I've been thinking, but have been unable to say, in discussions revolving around Turing-completeness.

It gets kinda frustrating when actual I/O considerations get waved away as "irrelevant" or "implementation issues".

I remember another discussion where someone said he wrote an IRC chatbot "in brainfuck". Wait, brainfuck can do internet access now??? "Well, I mean, I set up an IRC socket using a real language and hooked the brainfuck code's standard I/O into it ..."
isn't there a way to solve this with CSS3?

or at the very least, at the LESS/SCSS level?
"the best companies tend to be firms (especially in scientific computing and consulting) that only nerds have heard of."

Perfectly mirrors my experience. Out of college you mostly hear about the big tech companies and trendy startups.

What Modern Humans Can Learn From The Neanderthals' Extinction
Why does that first problem exist? I could not deal with that.
I've long suspected that something like this was the logical end point. Ever since I found myself writing a Puppet manifest that created an Upstart entry.

Configuration engines have tended to emphasise bits-at-rest. "Make sure these packages are installed, that these files are present, that this is what's in /etc".

Process management engines emphasise bits-in-flight. "Make sure Wordpress is running. Wordpress relies on PHP, nginx and MySQL".

Generally speaking, config engines assume that the bits-at-rest are correctly arranged to ensure correct runtime performance. And process management assumes that someone else has supplied the bits-at-rest which can be reified into an operational system.

Configuration engines tend to stray a bit into ensuring that software is up and running (eg, cfengine polls services every 5 minutes), but stop well short of the final conclusion of process management: insertion into the init hierarchy.

Why the separation? It's historical. Each local problem was solved in isolation (broken server config / crashing server processes) and they've each grown at the edges towards each other.

Just as ZFS collapsed several historical layers of file system tools into a single layer, it's been long overdue for the concept of defining a model of a system's various configurations with a detect-and-correct mechanism to be a universal framework that applies across an entire system.
I'd hypothesize that Yahoo can (potentially) get hires who they wouldn't have been able to hire with just money by having a different value proposition subset through Tumblr.

I'm confused (HN newbie). Are you saying it's difficult to create an account here on HN?

I just created one a few days ago to comment on a different topic. It couldn't be easier, I don't think I've ever created an account as easily as here. All I did was "reply" and it kicked me into a screen to choose a name and password. That's all. No email verification or anything complicated.
Sounds kinda like Google's own implementation of WebCL? I guess Google is really trying to push the concept of utilizing the Chrome browser as an OS development environment instead of just a browser... seems cool.
Nix is an experimental Research OS exploring what you can do with a pure functional package manager. This is interesting. You are probably being downvoted because your comment looks like a poor attempt to cash in on the "What linux needs is another..." meme for some easy karma.

But let's take you at face value. Maybe you were serious in your assertion.

While Ubuntu, Debian, Fedor, Gentoo, and many other distros use very mature, robust and all around awesome package managers I still run into issues where a package is uninstallable because of some other package that it depends on is pinned, or the wrong version, or any number of other reasons.

Nix fixes exactly this problem while still maintaining many of the same benefits as the other package manager. So maybe Linux does need another package manager.

Or at least it needs people willing to play around with solving issues in the current package managers in a "research" setting perhaps?
"DeckEpic would like to access your public profile, friend list, email address, News Feed, birthday, work history, education history, hometown, interests, current city, religious and political views, personal description, likes and your friends' work histories, education histories, hometowns, interests, current cities, religious and political views, personal descriptions and likes."

Eesh. I understand why it's asking for this data, but I can't help but feel that that DeckEpic may be mining for more nefarious purposes.
Think of it this way, the advertisers that can't deal with kittens with lightning out of their eyes in the pitch deck are also likely the ones that would have a bad experience advertising on reddit and interacting with the community. By being authentic in the pitch deck, they deter clients that should be deterred, and attract clients they want to attract. Being authentic is a better, more efficient strategy.
gentoo need slot support for similar behavior
Public key authentication for Github has not worked for you? Can't imagine how that is possible.
The point is that there's no registration option if you click on the "Login" link in the top left. The idea is that a visitor can only register an account if they are planning on contributing a comment or post.
Yeah, there's almost no correlation between a company's public perception and how it is internally. That's why, as a rule, I try not to work at places where I don't know somebody there personally.
Yeah, searching a bit suggests that the huge tax is on the purchase, not an annual thing.
Looks cool! I was able to deploy a simple php app from my github and it seems to be working quite well.

I really like this.
I buy a decent about of ads ($xxK) for my own bootstrapped company, and Reddit offers communities that are ideal for us. However, as a Reddit user, I am completely terrified of running ads on Reddit. The problem with Reddit is that the users are taste makers of the internet, thus if they respond negatively to your marketing, you will be irrevocably fucked. If reddit users get tired of seeing your ad, then god help you because they will probably "1 star" you on the whole damn internet.

I like Reddit, and I wish they had a way to do some sort of sponsorship. If I advertise on Reddit, it damn sure better come across as me supporting the site, not me annoying their users.
Please read my comment again. I never said it was the same thing.

> It's really nothing like buying a broadcast license.

Both provide access to eyeballs, and both are bought with the intention of monetizing that somehow... usually with advertising. That's a similarity in my book.
I tried this distro 2 times since I heard of this rootless package administration. I give up because of poor documentation in both situations.
I would love to see this approach in arch or gentoo (without the butthurt of slots)

Might I suggest circleci? We use it to build every branch for every developer's fork. It's pretty easy.
WebCL runs on the GPU while PNaCl runs on the CPU.
A lot of successful business partnerships can be described by "riding the coattails of a hit". If they're being straightforward and proposing a partnership, as opposed to (say) simply copying it, I don't see the problem.
This is exactly the idea that popped into my head the instant I read the title. If executed well, it would make everybody happy. It would be a great business move.

Just got to hope they can do a good job of it. I have no particular attachment to Yahoo!, but the sentimental side of me would like to see some old giants make worthy comebacks.
I imagine the thing to do would be to test your ads on a very small subset of the site first, and judge the response.
I really wish that someone other than Google would take this up (whatever Google would need to do for that). C has of course been a great choice for performance-sensitive programs for years and it is quite a mature language with mature tools. It doesn't make sense for everyone to be forced to use JavaScript as the only option, forever, just because of convention.
The oft-discussed problem is simply that of "discovery".

Take me. Like everyone, I have interests that the greater community of reddit does not necessarily share, but given its size there are guaranteed to be subreddits that would cater to my niche interests. How do I find them?
Wouldn't it be amazing if Twitter Bootstrap get re-implemented in Web Components (now Polymer)? Then the html code that uses it will be much cleaner.
That is a valid suggestion, but remember one comment is all it takes to turn a self promotor into a borderline rapist in the eyes of the internet. https://www.google.com/search?q=woody+harrelson+reddit
I was first struck with this thought in highschool; the time and thought and preparation applied to cheating at exams. Half that effort applied to just reading the cartoonish textbooks would give a pass.
Improve in what way? This puts any design change off the table forever. I don't see anything wrong with a rethink, as long as it's motivated. Maybe the motivation has not been well-stated - but maybe you haven't made it any clearer that dpkg or rpm are the optimal package managers (barring a few little 'improvement' patches here or there).

Just blasting the project in the most generic terms is avoiding the necessary thinking about what the goals should be and what are good ways of achieving them.
Tips for file host security?

You've mentioned the Netflix DVD model a few times, so ostensibly you seek to offer some type of physical good via subscription?

Netflix's DVD model worked because everybody was used to renting movies from Blockbuster. The business model already existed: Netflix just did a better job of it and at exactly the right time. Will you have to change hearts and minds, or will you be simply "doing a better job than Blockbuster"?

It seems like you're considering some business that requires a lot of inventory, low margins, and high-operational costs. I guess I'm making a lot of assumptions.

EDIT: I guess I sound fairly negative. I'd like to add that I have a dear friend who manages to earn a decent living with a small internet-based video game rental service. It's a husband/wife team. They somehow managed to bootstrap the business, earn a loyal customer base, and maintain inventory in their apartment. They spend a few hours per day manually fulfilling orders, adding custom notes/suggestions to their customers, etc. It works quite well for them.

> I have 4GB of RAM in my $DAYJOB machine, running 64bit Ubuntu, and after I load Eclipse 4.2 with a few projects open

I think the main problem is that having 4GB for a workstation is really low (specially for today's standards). Specially reading all the stuff that you put in.

I can imagine your day-to-day computer work should be unbearable. Are you based in the USA? I know that over there you can get 8GB for about $60, which for a company that is paying you $3000 monthly is peanuts.
>this comment also shows that for some of the work (here loading and packing), the container just moves to the burden to a different entity (here the manufacturer instead of the longshoremen).

But shifting the burden to the manufacturer is clearly advantageous, because, as the post also shows, the manufacturer knows more about their product and how to pack it.

Also, because neither origin or the final destination of the container are the port, there is less loading/unloading of the individual objects. The container is packed and unpacked exactly once, and apart from that only the whole container need be moved
I think this comment from jacques_chester [1] does an excellent job at explaining why it is important to break free from this mindset periodically. It is all about busting out of local maxima in the efficiency of our tools.

GoboLinux works in a very similar manner, though I'm not sure the distro has seen any love in a few years.

Agreed. I was going to give Linode another week to put something out about the Freemont upgrade before I switched to a different datacenter, am very glad they finally announced it. Hopefully this new location will work out better than the first.
I think reddit can deliver for marketing purposes. Tony, a marketing manager at Amazon, has spent a decent amount of time on reddit, most of it on r/gamedeals, and has generated a lot of sales and goodwill. In fact I think that Amazon has gained a reputation of having better sales than steam does. Unfortunately for reddit, he has done this by building relationships on the site not by buying advertising. That subreddit is anti-advertising, they even banned all affiliate links with the exception of three charities. So investing in reddit can bring results, but ads don't always work.
If you're about to go through a lot of effort, like a two day interview or flying somewhere, it's perfectly reasonable to bring this up.

"Let's assume I'm a really good match for this position and you want to make me an offer. What's the range of compensation you would be comfortable with?"
I had disabled it on one of my sites for a couple days because it was messing with rotation on ipad. If you set a min-scale of 1 (necessary to make anything responsive work properly) and then the user rotates their device, it's going to move to a different zoom level. Setting min scale 1 and max scale 1 keeps the zoom level consistent through rotation.

Turns out nobody other than me cares about the zoom changing on rotate, and everybody wants pinch to zoom.
I interviewed at a small company in Tokyo that was looking for an experienced programmer. I did a take-home programming test that took me a couple of hours (not Fizzbuzz-level), and also a couple of on-site tests. Besides being bilingual in English and Japanese, which isn't rare but relatively uncommon, I also happen to speak an additional language that they use. I was aiming at U$50~70k -- yes, the average senior programmer in Tokyo earns less than a junior programmer in the Bay Area -- they offered me $35k. For reference, cost of living in Tokyo is about as high SF as far as I know (rent and taxes are probably lower in Japan but food is more expensive).

After that I went back to always asking the salary range beforehand.

Well, syntax highlighting has been around for some time. So if present, shouldn't an effect of induced synesthesia be well known by now?
Once it's actually possible to use PNaCL apps in webpages, I think it will see dramatically faster adoption. It's mostly a question at this point of whether they manage to ship it before someone else beats them to the punch (looks like Chrome 30 is projected for August). By then Mozilla could easily have picked up a lot of momentum with asm.js.
It seems that people have good enough reasons to do away with fragmentation.

And this doesn't sound like just a package manager. It's also taking care of configurations.

That said, I'd love to see this integrated into Arch some day.
Oh, I already have the 2nd 4GB chip in my possession, I've just been to busy to install it. And maybe this is one place where my age is showing, but... 4 freaking GB of RAM, IMO, ought to be enough, not, as they say "for anybody", but enough to run an IDE, one app server instance, a couple of browser windows and a handful of smaller tools.

Then again, part of it is being on a laptop that doesn't have an SSD which makes swap painfully slow. But still, Eclipse takes too much freaking RAM for what it does, IMO.

All of that said, the next laptop I buy for myself is going to have an SSD and as much RAM as I can possibly afford.
If you are familiar with the incident, you should see that particular comment was really just fuel in the greater fire. Harrelson did not just make a tiny blunder in one comment; he turned all of reddit against him with his repeated attempts to steer the AMA towards Rampart, and they proceeded to locate dirt on him.

If you are unnerved by 'the Rampart incident', take comfort knowing that it has been 15 months, and no one has committed a blunder of that magnitude since (as evidenced by the fact that we still use it as the go-to example)
Of course God can do so, he's God. He can do anything!1!
Why doesn't it need any more fragmentation? Your argument is begging the question. Personally I think people are better off with 50 kinds of spaghetti sauce.
I had a Dell computer back in ~2005 that broke down literally 2 days before the warranty was up. I was dumbfounded as to why. Nothing had changed. I shut down the computer properly every time and it always started back up.

Two days before the warranty wears out, the "motherboard fries" according to the tech who showed up. I asked him him, he said it was probably static electricity. I figured it was some corporate conspiracy to bust computers just after the warranty was up and mine came a bit too early. (I mean... imagine if it had busted a day after the warranty! I'd be flippant!)

But this "capacitor plague" business makes a load more sense than that.
What I was implying is that "built for concurrency" isn't just about threads (or goroutines). It's about communication between concurrent routines and shared state. Go is designed to have less coordination in concurrency by encouraging communication via channels instead of shared state.

Ahem!!!

Here are the problems with Reddit Ads off the top of my head:

1) either all reddit or one subreddit.
1a) no easy way to advertise on multiple subreddits
2) no way to be an agency. So painful to manage multiple accounts even with RES
3) no API
4) no support
5) limited ad units

In short, I would love to advertise on r/SysAdmin but I can't justify spending $20 a day for <100 clicks. Give me the ability to advertise to all of Reddit or specific subreddits. Seriously, why can't I just advertise on a set of subreddits? They should give it to me for the same price as all of reddit. Why? Because that gives me control of my brand. I don't want to advertise on all of reddit because there are a lot of subreddits I don't want my brand associated with, but if I could bid across multiple subreddits I would use the self-service a lot more.

Admittedly, I haven't looked at the reddit ad units in about a year, and I know they're looking for a softdev to build a new ad platform, but geez, can I get a real ad experience please? Reddit has so many pageviews, let me tap that!

> Would you say you've noticed how the YouTube user experience has changed over the past five years? I don't mean whether you like it personally or not, but whether the overall YT-as-site UX has been ruined in their acquisition by Google.

1. Stupid pre-rolls everywhere.

2. DMCA takedowns / country restrictions.

3. Weak community.

4. Nagging for Google+ integration.

The UX is pretty horrible. They just get away because content is king and are 1st movers. Nowadays I increasingly find more, or higher quality, stuff on Vimeo though.
