Counting number of files is probably not a sufficiently frequently used case to justify a new standard command. What part of piping concerns you?
> Can't they just directly access inodes for high speed counting?

Don't know what you mean by that exactly. But, I'd be stunned if find is actually reading the actual files rather than just reading the directory entries in directory "files". Which is what I'd call accessing inodes "directly"
If this guy really wanted RdRand to be taken out of the kernel, he would've posted to LKML explaining his reasoning and requesting feedback. That's instead of demanding action by popular vote.
Wait, how did she help the teacher turn it into a 'teaching moment'? What I got from it is that neither of them contacted the teacher at all about any of this, and then expected him to be able to spot the issue and understand that it was a problem with his class rather than an issue of burnout or other normal teenager problems (I doubt the boys in the class harassed her in front of him). My guess is that he was actually less worried about her because she was actually doing well in the class and I imagine many of the students weren't. Sure, it is a real bummer that she was turned off of the programming industry because of her classmates, but if he had devoted most of his non-teaching time to just her, imagine the struggling students in the class who might have wanted to learn but couldn't get any of the teacher's time or help? Odds are they would be demoralized and unlikely to continue programming as well. It most likely could have been handled better, and it would have been great if the teacher had noticed the problem, but I don't think it is fair to place all the blame on him and suggest that they were helping him do the right thing.
Great ! It can be used for server monitoring of course but I am thinking that it could be working with a Raspberry Pi to monitor heat in the house, or water consumption, there were an article about it recently on HN.
There's a lot more than that tweet.

Example: "In The Passion Of The Christ 2, Jesus gets raped by a pack of niggers. It's his own fault for dressing like a whore though."
I've already posted this once, but can you explain how this tweet is related to the 'feminist agenda':

"In The Passion Of The Christ 2, Jesus gets raped by a pack of niggers. It's his own fault for dressing like a whore though."

Show HN: Mantle Worthy - curated baseball highlights
Hey guys, I just launched a new website today called Mantle Worthy:

www.mantleworthy.com

I'll be posting one baseball highlight each weekday along with a brief write up. The name is an homage to baseball legend Mickey Mantle and implies that the highlights are worthy of being put on display.

I really like the curated content model and I'm hoping it can work for a niche like baseball highlights. Critiques, comments, suggestions, questions, etc. are all more than welcome. Also, if you have any baseball-loving friends and/or relatives, please pass the link along to them.

Thanks for checking it out.

Poor guy. For what it's worth I agree with the tweets that got him fired, including this one[1] and the ones immediately around it. The "controversial" apps from the techcrunch disrupt hackathon weren't really "misogynist", so much as in bad taste. And I'm tired of seeing accusations of "hate" used to shut down discussion.

But it seems that tweeting that kicked off a PC feminist lynch mob that went back through his tweets combing for a way to get him fired. Most of the tweets that offended them are logically defensible, if against mainstream opinion.

The one that is beyond the pale is a quote from Mel Gibson. I'm not sure why he posted that. Anybody that has a reason to dislike you isn't going to give you the benefit of the doubt. You gotta be on your toes. Even in this thread on HN people are debating whether or not he should be fired, and then that tweet gets posted and people say "oh, I see".

This goes to show that the only way to have counter-cultural opinions on the internet is with a pseudonym. Or to never make mistakes. You hackers arguing about "women in tech", founder accents, or other sensitive topics under your real names are insane.

Linus deals with a lot of shit in a professional manner. He uses some words that some people don't like. Personally, I find his language enlighteningly clear. If you can ask a sensible question, it will be answered sensibly. If you ask a question having made little effort to find the answer without directly hassling people, you will be answered brusquely.
Great call, we're adding it to the homepage now!
Thats what it appears to be, but on closer inspection it doesn't go that far. They give an example rest path of /subscriptions but i cant tell if its an example or meant to be used as a standard endpoint name.
The teacher has a responsibility to provide a safe environment THAT ENDS AT THE DOOR TO THEIR CLASS. If the harassment happened out of view, is the teacher still responsible? Are you responsible for harassment that takes place at your workplace outside your cubicle? Students have remedies, they all know what they are. I knew. If the child spoke up to a teacher, principal, janitor, or anyone and the school did nothing then I'd side with the OP in a heartbeat. Absent any real facts about what happened I'd have to guess (and it's only a guess) that the teacher wasn't the problem here.
Guess he did. Joking about "niggers" gang raping Jesus didn't cross it, but suggesting that he preferred not to read about feminism in tech was just too much.
Has anyone use PubSubHubbub ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PubSubHubbub ) for this pattern in the past? For straight subscriptions, it's always been compelling to think of the use cases being covered by PSHB and RSS.

I don't think it informs us of that at all. Even to the extent that it's anything more than rhetorical flourish, it's misleading to read the language in terms of modern understandings or schoolhouse revisionist history. At the time, there was this idea of the "customary rights of Englishmen" that isn't coextensive with "natural rights of all human beings" as we might think of it today. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights_of_Englishmen. These are not "natural rights" in the sense of something you might find if you cut someone open and did an autopsy, but rather rights that arose out of the long-standing, practice of a people and which are enjoyed by those people.

It's quite clear that the Constitution simply recognized customary rights that existed, but that shouldn't be taken as a recognition of universal rights common to all people. Especially in light of all the countervailing evidence in the form of unequal treatment of nearly everyone who wasn't a white English male landowner. That evidence is inconsistent with the recognition of universal natural rights, but entirely consistent with the recognition of customary rights, which since the magna carta had applied to white English male landowners.

He was in a position to hire people, and expressing views that clearly indicated bias towards certain protected classes.

That alone would be cause for concern. I don't know that I"d advocate his firing, but I'd certainly question his authority to hire & fire staff based on the things he's said.

Dude...wtf?

He can surely have an opinion, even a minority, rather ridiculous opinion. What he can't do is be a complete asshat and think there are no ramifications.

It shows a complete lack of empathy as well as judgement. Guy is a CTO of a rather public company and feels the need to rant off like this on twitter? 1. extremely poor judgement and 2. shows he "doesn't get it".

However you look at it, this guy shouldn't be anywhere near leading other people and should have all access to public communications revoked. Not to mention the possible lawsuits this exposed the company to! I mean, come on! Think!
How do you know he wouldn't?

There are a few rather immature ones, but you can do a lot more with a notebook than just data analysis.

I often need to do calculations involving many parameters, and there are three important considerations I usually have to deal with:

1. I'm probably going to want to tweak the parameters.

2. The calculation is going to be difficult to express as a succinct equation.

3. I may want to look back over the result later.

Using an ordinary calculator is cumbersome because of 1 and 2, and doesn't satisfy 3. AN alternative is to use an ordinary interactive shell to put everything together, which helps with 2, but still makes for a lot of work on 1 and doesn't fix 3.

Writing a whole program to do the calculation is an improvement because it fixes 1 and 2, and it helps with 3 because I can leave myself lots of comments. I've found literate CoffeeScript to be very effective here (you can even turn it into a nice webpage to share your math with others), but there are still some drawbacks. The results are not interleaved with the code, so when I look back over it, it's not easy to check my work and debug. The workflow also leaves a bit to be desired. You can't, for example, quickly play with a small snippet as you're working through your thoughts.

A notebook, on the other hand, elegantly handles all of these considerations. I can use markdown to create a nice article for my future self explaining all of my calculations, have comments, code, and results all next to each other, and tweak parameters on the fly.

Yet I still find myself using literate CoffeeScript instead. And the main reason for that is that whenever I use Python, I constantly wish that I was using CoffeeScript instead.
xxd is on OSX, but not on FreeBSD. Under FreeBSD, I always use 'hd somefile.bin'.
I'm obsessed with being the sole founder at my future company. Granted, I'm looking to create a lifestyle business, but hopefully it will all work out.
Say if you have 3-4 cache servers that need to talk to one another, rather than having to give it a public IP (even though it's not routed outside of DO), you can give it an internal IP so all traffic is routed through that network interface instead of the public one - slightly better for security though not perfect as everyone with a DO box can see your private network ip, so you still need to secure it.......
Backdooring the XOR instruction would be far more useful.
More likely, the Valleywag article forced BI's hand.

Erm. Is there a source for that?
Birthday attacks can work against content-based addressing schemes too. Sure, they may be a little bit harder (you need to convince someone to merge something that is able to carry a large random payload), but given that, say, the Linux kernel has a bunch of binary blob firmwares, it wouldn't be too hard for a hardware manufacturer to submit a driver for new hardware with one firmware, and then replace it with another later on.

For a similar example, you may think that generating a CA signing certificate would involve a second preimage attack, as you would need to generate a certificate that had a hash that matched one of an existing CA. But it turns out that you only need a birthday attack, because you just need to submit a certificate for signing that is one of two that collide, where the second one is marked as being a CA cert. This has actually been done a with certificate authority that used MD5 for signing certificates.[1]

There are lots of file formats that allow you to fairly easily create MD5 collisions, by virtue of being able to stick a random string that won't be interpreted somewhere in them.[2] If it were feasible to produce such a collision using SHA-1, anyone who got such a file merged in Git could then substitute it for an evil file and no one would be the wiser.

That said, this attack does require the ability to generate a collision on SHA-1 (which has not yet been done), the ability to convince Linus (or a subsystem maintainer) to pull your tree containing a big binary blob, and that binary blob being able to do something harmful when substituted that it couldn't do just by virtue of being a difficult to audit binary blob (otherwise, why bother with the birthday attack when you could just subvert the blob anyhow).

It's true that the writeup should distinguish between these cases, and contrast their difficulty, but you shouldn't be quite so quick to handwave away the possibility of collision attacks rather than second-preimage attacks.

If I were to build a content-addressed storage system or design Git today, I'd probably use a SHA-2 or SHA-3 hash to be on the safe side. While no one has yet demonstrated a SHA-1 collision publicly, it's been substantially weakened; it just doesn't give a good enough security margin. Current estimate are that finding a collisions would cost about $2.7M in cloud computing time[3], and there are lots of adversaries who have well more than those kinds of resources.

It sounds like your main questions are regarding accounting. Therefore I recommend you talk to an accountant. Find someone (preferably by referral) who has experience in this area, get a free consultation, depending on your advice (and your state law) potentially hire them to incorporate a S-corp, C-corp, LLC, or whatever is appropriate. Ask them about liability, taxes, etc.

You don't need to have everything ironed out before you start, but if you start making money beyond couch change, you will probably want to talk to someone before the tax year ends.
Most people will leave rather than 'pick a fight' over something, taking the 'exit' rather than exercising 'voice'[1]. Looked at a certain way, this is one of the good things about the good economy for tech workers, in that we can at least leave bad situations, but it's probably not so good for those who can't.

Are there patterns for client side JavaScript to be notified of changes to REST resources? I don't believe this particular pattern applies if I understand correctly as it needs a URL to notify.
It can be really slow, even for a few tens of thousands of tiles. I remember watching Nautilus's "properties" panel slowly count up the number of files and directories.
Do those categories come off as very broad and generic to anyone else. I feel like these categories can be applied to many companies and their founders, most of whom will not become billionaires.
Hi, I'm the author of the slideshare/founder of the company. You are right, before the actual surge, there was a lot of upfront work understanding how to build our product and how to tell our story.

It's about representing the business, which he clearly did. Putting a "all opinions are my own" in the bio is not a get-out-of-jail free card.
why people who believe in meritocracy are termed anti-feminists? No I don't even remotely know Pax, heck this is the first time I heard of him. Guys seriously do you want to sink to the level of quota and reservation based on gender now? It is exteremely difficult to get talented and motivated people in tech, let us not put gender bias or elitism on people who care about their field (may be just their company/org). I am not saying Pax is not anti-feminist, may very well be, but so much hate against him, He didn't say women must be banned from our industry, he didn't even say women are dumb (or less capable). I am all for equal rights for all gender(which exist till now, which may come to exist in future). Is it so hard for all of us to accept that the most motivated, accomplished and talented people must be rewarded the most in our industry? Is meritocracy bad or plain stupid? I hope HN folks take their heads out their rear and deeply contemplate about this, Yes one need to be civil in public forums, but that doesn't mean one is not entitled to his/her opinion. Come On guys we are better than this (including me).And BTW he defended himself for being called ahole by his co-worker in a very dignified fashion, that is something!Let us be rational about things like this.
That's part of my point. My main point is that you should only do a startup if you truly believe in it (and you should realistically assess this before accepting, as hard as it may be). I think the biggest point of these articles is "don't join a startup for joining a startup's sake." That said, I like to think joining Dropbox or Google while a student and they are startups would have made sense (even discounting hindsight being 20/20, sorry for using these two, but they were the best examples I could come up with) if you were an avid user of either or had the opportunity to meet Larry/Sergey. Meaningful equity to me is enough that if it hits, you at least have enough money to spend a few years doing what you want. My main point is, there are some startups worth joining. But don't join a startup because working at a startup is "better."

I personally love working at the startup I work at, although we are later stage and moving out of the startup phase (I get paid market, and have solid insurance).
I agree. He started with a tool, he enjoyed working with it and is making quality software with it. Why change?

Changing tools would probably make his productivity drop and he might not need the added features.

I believe in "finding the right tool for the job" but when one is making stuff "for fun" (as the author started), just go with what you want.

To me, I would code everything I could in Python.

For game development I would choose MOAI. MOAI still has a lacking documentation, official progress is almost nil (but the community is improving it), it's hard for newcomers and begginers, and the lack of good runtimes may scare away some users.

And I suck at it. I really, really suck. After playing with it for a while, I participated in April's Ludum Dare using MOAI. I ended up ditching almost all the physics due to weird glitches and slowdowns, couldn't implement all the features, and the code is a mess of callbacks floating around.

But I love it's philosophy, it's scope, it's ambition. I will continue making games in MOAI for the better or the worst. Because I like it, and because I want to.
Are you serious? You really think that if BI made a fictional CTO no-one would say anything about it?
I believe xxd is actually part of vim and not a Unix command itself. It's used to support hex-editing binary files, but you can see why it's useful in other roles as well.
It doesn't have to work every time, just occasionally (1 in 1,000,000) is enough to introduce an exploitable weakness. So task preemption isn't a problem.

XOR is used for entropy calculation in the Linux kernel, as Dale Emmons points out in the article.

Yes he is entitled to his opinion.

In the US, the government can not prevent him from voicing it.

None of this means that what he chooses to voice is free of consequences. The first amendment to the US constitution does not prevent Business Insider from severing ties with him to prevent from being associated with is views.

There is nothing hypocritical about it.
Rule #1 of work (Murphy entry #42331) - if you write something that has a public link, and involves the words: rape, asshole, feminism, and you hold a VP level position, it will be on HN front page, and it will not be a good thing for your job.
I really hope for him he was sarcastic, but even if he was, it's no excuse.

my question: what gain would someone have for posting these kind of tweets? show off you are a cool guy? get some "no such thing as bad publicity" followers? is it a "Miley Cyrus" marketing scheme?

Rule #2 of work - be nice. to everyone. there is no downside to this. prove me wrong.

My guess: Because there is no perspective or camera rotation, changes in the appearance of the voxels are limited to screen-aligned translation, zooming and changes in lighting. Relighting is easy assuming he's using standard deferred rendering techniques. Zooming can be clamped to a certain range. If the voxels are rendered off-screen at maximum zoom, that just leaves panning the render around on the screen. In other words, he can render each tile once and cache them as 2D images to reuse in later frames. Each frame he only needs to render new tiles that have not been seen before. Unless you are panning really fast, that's a small amount of work compared to re-rendering the whole screen every frame like most 3D engines do.
