I don't expect a benchmarking app to be throttled by the OS under any circumstances--ideally the benchmarking app would run on the raw hardware, with no second-guessing by the OS about whether it should be throttled because the battery is down to 10%, or because some other process would like some network or CPU, etc.

The way this probably should work is that the benchmarking apps themselves have a flag telling the OS they want all cores at full power all of the time, instead of having to hardcode this list into the OS. (Perhaps this could be one of the permissions you have to accept when installing the app.)
You can't say that Gates and Zuckerberg were not talented though. They definitely were in the right place in the right time but if you look at their early history you would find people who did their due diligence when it came to programming and got the business running and then stepped into managerial roles. They have multiple talents if you will which is only evident by juggling all responsibilities and seeing things through. Of course athletes like Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods are incredibly talented but only in a single field. They have managers who handle the rest of their business affairs.
Sorry if this is OT but I love Conan's video game reviews. Best of luck on your candidate search.

RFC 822 calls for the "local-part" to be case-preserved. It also specifies that the special address, "Postmaster", must be deliverable with any combination of case used. I do see, however, that RFC 5321 not only reinforces the idea that the case of the "local-part" must be preserved, but it explicitly declares that "smith" and "Smith" may very well be different recipient mailboxes, which is brain-damaged, given that those are very often typed in by fallible humans.

Ask HN: at&t says my router is interfering with their cell
This feels like a scam to me, but a dude from P3 Communications said he was a contractor for at&t, came to my building asking to look around to find the offending device that was disrupting their cell tower. If they found something, they'd force me to replace it. It felt scammy to me, so I told him to come back, has anyone ever had something like this happen, is this legit, do I just go with it?
Great tool, btw it would have been wonderful if it could support accessing bookmarks from any machine. I doubt' it supports in its current form?
Nate Silver's lack of a math background? Why does this keep getting repeated. He has a BA in economics from one of the most quantitative and rigorous programs in the country, plus some work at LSE. I'm sure he has more formal math and statistics education than most self-labeled "engineers" on HN.
This guy reads like the Glen Beck of space :-). I was intrigued at how consistently the downlink seemed to interrupt when it switched views, I paused the video a couple of times to try to figure out what the 'other' view was that it was trying to switch too. I would not be surprised if SpaceX indicated a partial failure in their communications downlink which was triggered by selecting that view, but it is a huge stretch to go from some communications hiccups to "possible explosion."
PHP can be thought of as ``configuration + templating language for your C application'', with the C application being both the http server, and stock and your custom PHP plugins.

Yes, the whole stack can get hardcore, as long as you don't force PHP to do what other parts of the stack (SQL, JS) excel at, if you end up processing large datasets in short time :^)
There's something fundamentally wrong with a system in which you are required by protocol to maintain the affectation of hypocrisy in order to avoid being punished for making sense.

In my experience all HTTP requests made from Google Docs functions and scripts are cached for at least a few minutes. There are workarounds to that but I would guess they do throttling at an IP and domain level as well (being that they know a thing or two about crawling the web).
Sorry this has happened, that's not good at all. I know that a lot of effort goes into getting in touch with us (or anyone else). There was a time when I was personally handling all the hiring, and I struggled to get back to everyone on top of everything else I was doing. We have a much better hiring process now and we've committed to responding to every email. Sorry again that you had a bad experience here.

I'm a web application engineer with experience building elegant user experience and developing full-stack.
As the lone "front-end guy" at a physician search start-up, I...
- refactored a codebase written piecemeal by contractors,
- helped layout and then built mock ups from our designer,
- architected and implemented a very complex, albeit user friendly, interface,
- redesigned an internal API for greater usability,
- supported the expansion of features across an array of browsers,
- and contributed as an early member of the team, including design decisions (visual and structural) and business approaches.
As a contractor for several larger companies, I...
- wrangled with quite a few standard and custom front-ends, scraping partner sites for QA purposes,
- designed a framework for rapidly generating scrapers via a headless browser,
- for a meta search, created custom adapters between the APIs of my client and their partners,
- and rebuilt the front-end of a travel search site using modern, client-side frameworking.

I commented on this somewhere else ...

People generally judge value by looking at the competition. A good coffee shop is better value than Starbucks, so it's good value. A good $1 app is waaaay more expensive than a free one, so it's a rip-off.
>I don't know why regulars apps are unable to get the Note 3 to use all 4 cores. Perhaps they're not multi-threaded or they haven't enabled the right settings? Surely 3D games will access all cores?

That doesn't explain why the exact same app performed worse (or normal, rather) when renamed .

The customer is buying a complete product, not a cpu. Maximum cpu performance without context is not meaningful. A 500 horsepower engine is pretty awesome, until you drop it into a cargo freighter. Then it's worthless.

Great idea offering the online version free but charging for the convenience of an ebook file. I wish more authors would do this.

It secretly 'guarantees' that the benchmarks don't run under real-world conditions. That is fraud.
I signed up on the website last month and haven't received a reply either. It would be good to know if it's a yes, a no or a maybe.
I'm going to guess Notes was one of them, but do you have any specific examples? (Unix™-derived e-mail systems being case-insensitive (although, I'd wager that /bin/mail was case-sensitive back in 7th Edition) is obvious, and I just checked our Exchange here on campus and it, too, cares not about the case of my recipient address.)
I do not think that there is any insurmountable contradiction in perceiving the act of leaking classified information as a serious breach of both professional ethics; organizational trust and national duty; whilst also appreciating the opportunity for debate that arises as a consequence of the leak.

Rhetorical flourishes and occasional emotive rants aside, we are basically all friends, and friends tell each other when they are doing something bone-headed. Even if similar bone-headed stuff is normally kept quiet for very very good reasons indeed.
Civilian federal government employees haven't had a cost-of-living salary adjustment since 2010.

Just to be fair to Congress (not that I'm any fan of Congress), the administration did not request a cost of living increase in its budget for FY 2011, or 2012, so it wasn't just Congress. (It did for FY 2013, but it got shot down in Congress.)
I will probably make the ebook free eventually. I have already offered free online copies of my combinators and coffeescript books, people like that.
I used to get upset about these things, but nowadays if a writeup of a paper bothers me or sounds weird, i just go to the original publication. This might be hard if you're not at a university or otherwise have access to the journals.

In this case i don't see anything particularly wrong. Just reading the abstract would tell you enough (linked from the article):

http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/09/25/1313473110

The paper reports that the 28S RNA is split and that the ribosomes seem to be better at avoiding mistakes whilst keeping the same translation speed, and the authors speculate if these two things could be linked. And that's the gist from the Nat. Geo. article, too.
I would drop:
1. "made with love..."
2. "The U.S. Government is still..."

It should just say No in big ass letters.
There no benefits of a shared board like this as it's the worst of both worlds; a ridged, inflexible layout that you'd get with a digital calendar but without the user friendly labels / legends to explain what you're seeing.

What this is, is a publicity stunt to show off the individuality and inventiveness that this particular company wants to be known for. And for that reason alone, this deserves to exist.

There's so many businesses competing for our attention with the same products but remixed and with the same corporate speak, that it's nice to see something that engages my inner child. Whether this is practical or not almost seems irrelevant because it's fun, motivates me to invent my own projects and, most importantly for them, it stands a greater chance of going viral - which equates to free advertising.
Thanks for adding remote status. Everybody here is supposed to do that, but few do.
good insight on why not is not wise to work during the strike, but do not answer the "illegal" aspect mentioned in the "question"
> Most modern operating systems supports thread-local storage and therefore you don't need locking because you can keep much per-threads allocators

The article explicitly points this out, and points out the problem with it: It means wasting memory on per-thread pools, and the more threads you use, the larger the pools needs to be if you want to prevent contention, compounding the problem.

> because most well-written software will allocate large chunks of memory.

1. Most software is not well written.

2. Most large pieces well written pieces of software that allocates only large chunks of memory has some custom allocator of some sort (or horrible abuses of arrays) embedded somewhere to work around exactly the problems noted in the article. In many cases people end up wasting time writing the same types of specialised allocators over and over.

I've seen plenty of large C and C++ apps that'd have benefitted greatly from a simple arena allocator for example... And I have also seen countless of implementations of arena allocators and various pool allocators and tons of other variations.

In other words: These things do exist. They're common, to the point where they're often covered in books on C/C++. Especially for C++ where there is specific built in (though weak) support for custom allocators.

If those GET requests initiate intensive processes, then there could be a problem.

Lots of interesting analysis.

And not a word about the vast numbers starving, not because of insufficient quantity, but because of those controlling food as a sociopolitical weapon.
Except this was done against the explicit graphics settings the customers had set and only for a handful of games that were regularly used as benchmarks.

Customers who actually want framerate-beyond-all-else don't enable/would disable those settings in the first place.

So if it were "giving the customer what they want" they'd have respected the customer's settings.

What it actually was, was a simple recognition that people used "framerate at max quality" as a proxy for net card performance and an attempt to "game" such measures by not actually running at max quality, for those games that were common benchmarks.

That was my first thought, it seems like the 'take photo/email to special address' step is a bit long winded.

I would be amazed if they even have email.

Have you ever been on the phone with the IRS, or a state bureau or the treasury (or whatever) and in the normal course of conversation and workflow you suggest emailing them a document ... or using any reasonable workflow whatsoever ?

The answer is not only "no", but "no, because I don't have email here". Absolutely stupefying.
