C++ Library for Linear Algebra on Supercomputers
Elemental is an open-source C++ library meant for performing dense linear algebra on tens of thousands of processes (via the Message Passing Interface). I have been the primary developer for the past four years, but a community is starting to emerge. In addition to the website, the project is also hosted on github: http://github.com/elemental/Elemental
They didn't say that he wouldn't be killed or tortured however. Just that they wouldn't be doing it. Sounds like another case of "least untruthful".
The server I connect to most often is behind NAT and I'm usually also behind NAT, and mosh doesn't support that config, alas. I'd use it in a heartbeat if I could, though.

Except in every practical way... ergo, the common misunderstanding.
It seems that these things come and go in waves. I notice that one article gets posted which gets a lot of up-votes and then that article seems to spark off a lot more articles on the same subject.

I'm also guessing that if you were to actually come up with a list of all articles on the front page which are specific to the subject of programming languages, it would probably look a lot different than you think.

If Go is getting relatively frequent mentions, I would think it's because it's relatively approachable (I have never worked with Scala, but I'm assuming that Go is way more simple to install,) quick to learn and new toys such as Docker which has been on the front page a lot also gives Go a boost.

But I guess since it was tacked on in the end in the name of a compromise all is forgiven, as people can tell from the current state of affairs today.
Taking away your ability to freely move outside your country of citizenship (i.e. your passport) should be just as hard to revoke as your citizenship.

The Supreme Court has upheld the freedom to move state to state [1]; the freedom to move through other countries outside of the US (if you're a US citizen) is an inalienable right as well (with the permission of the hosting countries of course).

That's just the dev concerns.

Here's a rather contrived example but it illustrates the idea i'm getting at: "Will the inventory agent software be able to login to audit this container environment when they're done building their release?"
This is really not true. I LOVE my work and it's very satisfying. I just do it on a less than full time basis. It's not an arbitrage in the sense you're thinking, but more of a disruption of small part of a relatively small space. Small but still a business. Think lemonade stand with better tasting lemonade than the supermarket next door.

Human behavior. If you've got a population and you tell them to do X or they'll be labeled a criminal, you'll still have huge swaths of people who won't do X because of laziness, apathy, and/or ignorance. That's why opt-in vs. opt-out makes a such a big difference. Making this opt-in by default makes it extremely easy to target those who opt-out (and make judgements based on that action), but impossible to say anything remotely accurate about those who took no action.

Not really. Most Americans don't have a passport and it doesn't affect them at all.
Passport revocation is pretty routine for suspects facing serious charges though:

http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppi/info/info_870.html

A federal, state or local law enforcement agency may request the denial or revocation of a passport on several regulatory grounds set forth in 22 C.F.R. §§ 51.60, 51.61, and 51.62. The principal law enforcement reasons for passport denial or revocation are an unsealed federal, state, or local felony arrest warrant, a federal or state criminal court order or a condition of parole or probation forbidding departure from the United States (or the jurisdiction of the court), or a request for extradition to or from the United States. Any such request needs to include a copy of the arrest warrant or criminal court order. Please also be advised that all passport applicants are run through various law enforcement and other databases.
We may live in an era where people suspect the US will do that, but they've always had to say they won't. Most of Western Europe will not extradite people who face the death penalty (and I assume torture) and in those situations, the US has always given assurances that they will not seek the death penalty.
I'm happy to answer any questions about the pros and cons of the library (and to remain quite objective). The main feature that the library currently lacks that is available in ScaLAPACK is a parallel Schur decomposition, but one is in the works.

I'm also happy to answer general questions about parallel linear algebra and to point people to the appropriate literature.

Partly; as they say, you can't do exactly what the spacial predictors from AVC/H.264 do.

Look at the figure labeled AVC/H.264 Prediction modes (the text is part of the image, so you cant C-F for it unfortunately). Notice that these filters don't work in frequency space, but are spacial, and just extend the neighboring pixels into the block as stripes; that will tend to be smooth on the upper and/or left edges, and blocky on the lower and right edges.

The Daala predictors happen in frequency space, after the lapped transform so you end up with something that is not necessarily a block of stripes, and you also get more smoothness at the lower-right boundaries.
This project uses a unique design approach called 'adaptive morphology', where one part of a robot’s structure is adaptable and shared between different modes of operation. Cool!

Agree in general on the waves, but Scala's buzz days here was not easy to find. I went through HN search and looked for interesting Scala articles that got home page worthy amount of points, although I found a few good ones, didn't do a scientific research but it seems it never had its golden period here. Maybe it will have a comeback one day :)

p.s. Scala is relatively easy to install and get started with nowadays.
Older Macs won't support the latest OSX and XCode.

I'd look at MacinCloud or something similar if you have good bandwidth. $50 / month for 24x7 online access to a Mac isn't bad at all and they have pay-as-you-go for about $1/hour. I haven't tried them, but I think I've even seen people claiming to do iOS development there using an iPad (+keyboard) as their physical interface. You can get a few friends with iDevices to join Testflight for free physical testing.

You have three groups, those who care strongly about seeing ${badstuff}, people who don't care enough to change the default, people who care strongly about not seeing the ${badstuff}.

By making it opt-out, you will get only those that feel strongly about seeing it. By making it opt-in, and following your query, you won't be able to separate those that really want to see it, from those that really don't care.

The group that doesn't care is big enough to make a difference.

You are probably not the only one, it do not mean you're right either.

Stable mean that they will support this set of feature for some time, that's all.
You'll notice I never complained in my comment about this idea not being "world changing". I just wanted to point out that there's been a raft of startups that cater very specifically to the demographic of people who start startups in the valley (as PG acknowledged in a sibling comment). It just seems to me that SV is becoming an echo chamber.
Even if angles don't have a seat, they are still more trouble than their worth, IMHO. I personally won't seek funding from traditional methods; but luckily, the world is changing and there are some new non-traditional methods (passive income (subscription, or digital media download), donations to private companies, crowd funding, and who knows whats to come).

My company is "in the black," as it has made more money than I've put in, and holds no debt. I'm working on new business model than what I started with. I'm starting small, growing slow, and in it for the long haul. PIH Isn't a bad life, and it is a great way to make it SG w/o accelerators and networking exercises. And oh, I do care about making people's lives better with technology.
I don't know if this technically counts but I'm a freelancer and I proposed and made an iPhone app for a company Social Print Studio where we do revenue share and they handle all fulfillment, customer service, and marketing. It's well on its way to a Bay Area salary for me and it's only been out for a few months. The app is called Print Studio.

Basically I saw an opportunity for a company I liked (I knew them as friends not as a customer) to make even more money with very little risk to them (they didn't pay me a salary, only the revenue share) and as such I was offered a very good deal with no variable costs to me except for development maintenance time and any new features I want to add.

Just leaving food for thought for you all, there are plenty of ways to generate passive income. You don't have to go it alone, collaboration is one of the best tools we have as humans! So get creative. :)
Just an FYI, a Mint competitor, Wesabe, went out of business some time ago. When they did, they open sourced their software. Not sure of the state it's in. Maybe you can find some good things in their bank interface/scraping code...

There's no trick unfortunately. Going for a passive income company is just a business strategy aimed at producing a product which has appeal to some market and where operations are very highly automated.

Like any kind of entrepreneurial venture there's no shortcuts, it's all hard work, learning, failing and repeating. Like you mention, then there's the Timothy Ferriss hucksters of course, but that's a whole different ball game.
Approximately half of adult Americans don't have a passport. This is because you never need it unless you need to travel internationally.
... right away.
Surrendering your passport while awaiting trial isn't unheard of though, right? If they think you're a flight risk, your movements will be limited.

In this case they want to talk to him but he's already fled, so by cancelling his passport they're trying to limit further movement by him.

Regardless, having a passport doesn't magically grant you the ability to move around as you wish. It's up to the destination country (and countries you're transiting perhaps) to decide if they want to accept your passport as a form of ID. I'm sure countries have accepted plenty of people without a passport (asylum seekers, people moving around Europe, etc.).

i'm not sure what you need to learn category theory (but i'm working on it). so far it seems you need a to be able to write and read proofs, and not much else.

of course, that doesn't have much to do with haskell, but if you have an interest in abstract algebra beyond its applicability in haskell, you're in luck, because it doesn't seem to require much background. all it needs is for your head asplode.

caveat: i've tried to learn category theory, and found that i could barely follow a proof, let alone write one. so i picked up a book:
http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/product/Mathematical...

and i'm working through it now. i could come back to category theory and find that i'm still lost, but i don't think so.

i haven't really had much trouble writing haskell without a decent math background.

Slurp & Spit
Hitting '.' at a prompt used to be a common idiom for exiting a program. I first saw it when I was a kid working on an HP-3000 system where the system programming language was BASIC and all programs followed this convention. Don't know where it came from originally, but you can still see it in places like rsh/SSH etc.
The biggest threat with this kind of job is the growing inability to work elsewhere.

if been in this position once, good pay, secure job, no risk of being fired even during crisis ( apoint proofen during 2009 and 2011). Yet, being under 30 back than I considered the risk of being unemployable hire than the benefits. Would I have been 50+ I would never have considered leaving.

What actually shocked me was how HARD it really was to work somewhere else. And I almost failed, so only one year more at this job would have been my career end. Yet another shock was how used I had been to that kind of security, it's right that freedom can be scarry. in retrospect, despite everything, I still consider that one my better decisions up to now.

This article is arrogant and pretentious. Come on, it trivializes one side while glorifying the other beyond reasonable. It seems to say that if you work on a startup you are the cool kid, and otherwise you are loser. Just like high school.

> As a society we seem to just accept (and overlook) a high entropy in incarcerations of black teens caught with weed with shaky evidence.

By and large, black teens aren't incarcerated on "shakey evidence." That's the great thing about crimes that affect poor people: they're really easy to prove. The difference between an aggressive deal/outright fraud/honest mistake is difficult to prove. Who knew what? When? What were they thinking? Possession of an uncontrolled substance? Felon in possession of a firearm? Robbery? That stuff is easy to prove.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think it's okay that we imprison so many low-income minorities. But I don't think its the result of "high-entropy" prosecutions based on "shakey evidence." It's the result of astronomical sentences and three-strikes rules for relatively minor crimes (drugs, theft, gang activity) that are very common among low income populations.

> Great. Another one will pop up in its place,

Because we're doing such a great job keeping businesses in America as it is? All that will happen is that the capital will slowly migrate elsewhere.

> But tell me, how else can we tell them we're not putting up with bullshit anymore?

The fact of the matter is that we don't have any choice. My mentor in law school once pointed out to me that in Illinois politics, large companies don't have to make campaign donations to exercise their political clout. All they do is call up a state legislator and say: "I create 300 jobs in your district; this is how high you're going to jump." And the legislators ask: "how high?"

And the people absolutely will not do anything about it, because far and away their #1 political concern is getting a job or keeping their job. And no government official is going to be stupid enough to do something like punish a corporation overly harshly because a simple ad along the lines of "so and so cost such and such county in Illinois 300 jobs!" is a nuclear weapon in the current economy.
Awesome.

For what it's worth, I also look at this: http://squidlist.com/ from time to time for events around the bay area.
It's worth pointing out this historical context mentioned in the OP's Github:

> Council Member Jessica Lappin got into an animated discussion with Petito over traffic crash data. When Lappin asked why NYPD is releasing data in PDF form — and only after the council adopted legislation forcing the department to do so — Petito replied that the department is "concerned with the integrity of the data itself." Petito said NYPD believes data released on a spreadsheet could be manipulated by people who want "to make a point of some sort." An incredulous Lappin assured Petito that the public only wants to analyze the data to improve safety, not use it for "evil."

This is a persistent problem in public records law: officials who are asked to provide public data in computer parsable formats but instead, deliver it as PDFs or worse, as paper printouts.

The reason given by the NYPD is so common a trope that it's hard to say that they're just technically slow. When you consider that the NYPD has taken strong criticism for not investigating fatal accidents seriously, it's reasonable to suspect the NYPD of actively obfuscating when they use the "oh but they'll alter the spreadsheets!"

Set aside the small examples and theory about what's best, no argument beats a real world example.

The command= simply changes "what" gets executed when the user logs in.

A jail (ChrootDirectory in ssh) changes "where" the user gets when logs in.

The most creative thing I've do with command= was a "select" menu in bash (with some actions in the shudoers).

Other interesting tool I've discovered recently is rrsync. I'm doing the backups of my systems isolated with this. It's distributed with the rsync sources, you put it like:

command="rrsync /path/to/chroot/the/remote/rsync/client/"

And so what if they did anyways? What would Russia (or anyone else) do about it? I mean, the US government already blatantly lies to their own citizenry with zero consequence, and our foreign relations can't get much worse than they already are. I highly doubt Russia of all countries has any trust in us in the first place.

They're already torturing people in Gitmo, and Bradley Manning, and nothing is being done about that. Whether or not they said they wouldn't beforehand doesn't make any of that any better.

I never said I expected them to accept a court order without verification. Simply that there should not be discretion on their part if proper estate documents are presented. They have made it clear that they have discretion, so the account itself it not actually considered part of the estate by Google.
