We started building a large-scale datacenter automation system in 2003, and by late 2005 it was deployed on most machines but it became apparent that achieving the high density of job packing we wanted was going to be impossible by relying on post-hoc user-space enforcement of resource allocation (killing jobs that used too much memory, nicing jobs that used too much CPU, etc). Sensitive services like websearch were insisting on their own dedicated machines or even entire dedicated clusters, due to the performance penalties of sharing a machine with a careless memory/CPU hog. We clearly needed some kind of kernel support, but back then it didn't really exist - there were several competing proposals for a resource control system like cgroups but none of them made much progress.

One that did get in was cpusets, and on the suggestion of akpm (who had recently joined Google) we started experimenting with using cpusets for very crude CPU and memory control. Assigning dedicated CPUs to a job was pretty easy via cpusets. Memory was trickier - by using a feature originally intended for testing NUMA on non-NUMA systems, we broke memory up into many "fake" NUMA nodes, and dynamically assigned them to jobs on the machine based on their memory demands and importance. This started making it into production in late 2006 (I think), around the same time that we were working on evolving cpusets into cgroups to support new resource controls.
And then yesterday morning “t-shirt-gate” hit. My inbox was full of angry email from people inside and out of Yahoo. How dare I send just a t-shirt to people as a thanks?

Guy tries to do something nice and gets a big slap on the face. I can imagine this reaction from those outside of Yahoo wanting big rewards for their discoveries, sad to hear it was coming from internal as well.
Because taking a job with Yahoo! did not involve signing away his rights to his own opinions, or the ability to discuss them with others without hiding his employment relationship. Which is a good thing.
There is also an issue of FastISel not supporting the full LLVM IR, so if you depend on FastISel for fast JIT, you basically need to design LLVM IR generation around that, limiting yourself to undocumented, unspecified, and ever changing subset of LLVM IR. Which can be done, but not very pleasant.

Blew through the first 4 but spent half my time on the last one because I don't have Javascript type checking memorized.
I like the clean, simple UI.

One improvement suggestion: There's a lot of whitespace because the pics and the text (which is only two small lines) are given equal space for each entry. I'd consider letting the pics take up the full square, putting the title above them, and putting the two bullet points side by side under them.
And comparison will be the root of the app once we get rolling. Boiling down your options to a handful of vehicles and then helping you make an informed (and engaging) decision is the point of the app.
Congratulations, Jennifer. I really appreciate the lessons learned here.

Like my favorite college professor (and I'm sure many others, as it is a fairly popular quote) would say: Sometimes you have something that looks really ugly and gross. You can liken it to having to eat a slimy, bumpy frog. The best way to eat the frog, is just to swallow it. Once you get in the habit of swallowing your frogs, the rest of your day looks great.

I think I'm going to apply the 180 small projects in 180 days to many different ideas. For example, I enjoy cooking. I will probably start a project to cook one meal from every country on earth every day for ~180 (196) days. I've done it so far on weekends, but I think speeding the tempo will help significantly. It forces me to practice, saves me $$ I would otherwise spend eating out, and grows my spice cabinet.

Who knows, I might continue it with bread, websites, meditation, or whatever else.

I suspect these boards are being released in response to the rasberry pi, although I can't say for certain they're an appropriate replacement. Besides its not as if they're ending the old line of arduino boards, so if you don't like the new ones... just don't buy them :)
Yes. Well, ish.

At most, do the minimal reporting you have to so. The problem is, as a human you might innocently give the officer some cause to suspect you in some way, or in some way mitigate the crime against you. I know people who have felt more anger after the police turn up to do their thing than they did on discovering the crime.

I would only involve the police in something I felt was very serious, which had to be solved, and could not be solved any other reasonable way. My definition of something very serious? Don't know till it happens, and frankly I'm sure we all have our own ideas of limits.

Burglary wise, don't know about other countries, but here in the UK the only real reason to report a normal burglary is to get a crime number for the insurance company. Mugging is pretty much the same, assuming you have something stolen which is insured. And luckily that can be very minimal, Im think, cant be sure, you can report crime online and get an instant crime number for insurance purposes. I think it probably only worth it is people get physically hurt or something vital is stolen and can't be replaced. Even then...

Hmmm. Your value function appears not to monotonically increase.
yea they do have more resources to fight, but from a profit perspective, its unlikely to net any gains, and the gains cannot be only for google (fighting for public good is never profitable). Therefore, its much better to just comply, and take the risk that the users might find out later. Who knows, users might not care, or might not be able to move off google at all...

Right now, one searches for a car type and a car model. But that's not really the way I've searched for my last few cars.

Most importantly, I want to be able to:

1. Require a minimum fuel efficiency (e.g. at least 20 mi/gal)

2. Specify a drivetrain (e.g. AWD, FWD, ...)

3. Specify features (e.g. Bluetooth, A/C, ...)

4. Specify a price range (e.g. $20,000 to $45,000)
Well, ideally you'd have DNS setup internally so you don't have to use raw IP addresses, but essentially yes, you map each of the people with which you're collaborating as remote repositories. Because they are remote repositories, all on their own. There is nothing special between your repository on your machine and the repository on github.
I can't really figure out the functionality of this, so I'm not going to buy it to try it out. If you can't comment on it, then it's worth checking out http://hn.premii.com/ . It's a web, based app, but if you save it to your home screen it removes the Safari chrome and looks and works as a standalone app. You can look at its source here: https://github.com/premii/hn

If you can comment on this, it should be interesting. I really wish you showed more of the functionality of the app though.
Yeah okay. Someone else pointed out FastISel.cpp. It's probably true that prettiness competes with performance.
The "protect me from myself" feature would be great on a per item basis. Say, for example, I'm setting up a dripfeed for a new phone (nice-to-have) and another for winter jacket (really need). When setting up the dripfeed for the winter jacket I would turn on "protect me from myself", since I really need the jacket, but I wouldn't turn it on for the phone because it is just a nice to have.

Just an idea.
I'm kind of fascinated by the idea that the car is telling you to stop and get the hell out before doom happens.

Does anyone have an image or video of that kind of notice?
I'd guess that pin compatibility with existing Arduino shields is pretty important. Also, the TRE has both an AVR processor which can run the standard Arduino code as well as an ARM processor for running Linux. So you could use the AVR for low-latency polling of the GPIO pins while using the ARM for communicating over what looks like an ethernet port, four USB ports, two audio jacks, and an HDMI port.
~6 minutes and 30 seconds

That was also my final answer. However, I was going for speed and not elegance, after looking at other people's responses with prototypes and all.
Of course, there is a lot of room for improvement as you mentioned. Some suggestions:

- Please focus on the data part, I would want the relevant i
nformation presented well, not a bunch of images.

- The default alphabetical sorting is not very useful, sort
it by popular/cost/mpg etc.

- Many people don't know what car they want, are you planning to cater to them?

- The icons for van and minivan are identical.

Wow, this is the total opposite of me. I just spent weeks setting up the perfect development environment, instead of getting actual work done. I need to rethink the way I work.

This seems like a good opportunity as the process of researching and buying a car can be so onerous.

I recently helped a non-car savvy friend with his purchase of a Mazda3 and he was overwhelmed by the choices and the process of shopping for a car. Feature research was a primary interest with pricing next.

Feature research will be huge, same with pricing info. If only features weren't grouped into packages and if car pricing wasn't so murky.

The lazier it allows me to be the better. Bootstrap is a good bet because you can Google really stupid things and it comes up with trivial code snippets and examples.
Yes, that's definitely more moral than my suggestion. However, you have to remember that not all "security researchers" are going to be so moral, and many of the more moral ones will simply not bother because they're not getting paid for their work. So users both gain and lose when you report an issue without compensation. It seems to me to be better to try to force the company into changing their policy, like what happened in this story. But it should be done without putting innocent users at risk (contrary to my original comment.)
My impression was that they were sort of ignored because they had academic/research value as cover.

I believe the Fed's recent interest in them had something to do with Intrade closing down.

Here's a snippet from a forum thread that's relevant:

From Wikipedia:
Because online gambling is outlawed in the United States through federal laws and many state laws as well, most prediction markets that target U.S. users operate with "play money" rather than "real money": they are free to play (no purchase necessary) and usually offer prizes to the best traders as incentives to participate. Notable exceptions are Intrade/TradeSports, which escapes U.S. legal restrictions by operating from Dublin, Ireland, where gambling is legal and regulated, and the Iowa Electronic Markets, which operates from the University of Iowa under the cover of a no-action letter from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and allows bets up to $500.
I wish I could say something positive but unfortunately in my opinion this too falls under the new and emerging category of kickstarter-type-half-assed-product-with-a-fancy-video-that-over-promises. I hope I'm proven wrong.
Show HN:Hwork-a social tool for doing homework with friends.
Hello guys!
I'm a 15 year-old coder who build this thing called Hwork http://hwork.hol.es
The main idea of Hwork is to allow you to upload and share homework with your friends and browse your friends' homework to make it easier for everyone to get homework done.
I built this thing cause i encountered the same problem and wanted to help students like me get homework done easily.
This is my first attempt to build something awesome.I host the website on free hosting until i get the answer whether this thing is something that people really need.So i'm currently in the stage of validating the idea.
I would aprreciate your feedback and advice very much concerning the very idea and the project as a whole.

Since your not really investing in anything, prediction markets are like gambling. You might as well bet on sports games.

As for their utility, the predictions are about as accurate as any other prediction, which is usually completely worthless. Might work ok for the boring stuff, but show me evidence that prediction markets can forecast the next 9/11, the next iPhone, or the next Arab Spring.

Can you view comments with this app?
I see now. So they were trying to go off of in app purchases? That's not a bad way to do it. I think the problem is monetizing a service like that WITH competitors like google now is just a hard problem in general. I could see where it would be a good idea if they had some good lockin. It was definitely worth an attempt.

"The project certainly hasn’t given me a comprehensive understanding of software development, but it has laid a broad foundation for me to jump off of"

No it has not, and no it has not.

Don't get me wrong A+ for the effort... but it is a very small niche oriented effort.

Comprehensive? Watch Rich Hickey talks (http://www.infoq.com/author/Rich-Hickey), try reading and exercising data structures (b-tree, rb-tree, bitmaps, and a long etc), try different problems like database reporting and read "Code Complete" AND "The Nature of Code". You are up to a great start, but got a long way to go to call it "Comprehensive"

Broad foundation? not really, no. Just today's popular areas of front end development. And today's popular is actually a very small area, common and with a lot of hype, but just a relatively small section of front end development

Great project... keep going, there is much to discover!
Every defense system has its limitations. There's a truism that if brute force doesn't work, you aren't using enough of it and I think that applies to running a DDOS attack.
You can see it as an insultingly low payment or as a bigger than usual thank you. If you expected nothing, the shirt is a pretty decent thank you. If you expected to be paid, the shirt is an insult. Clearly the people who bitched about the shirt expected to get paid. So they had already put their work in the "paid" category and then complained when the pay was low. It sounds like a lot of other people didn't expect anything and put their work in the "free" category and were (at least a little) pleased to get an unexpected thank you.

I would hardly call this an MVP. The site isn't really useable in it's current state. It's a list of cars, with a price and no sorting, filtering, really anything...

Even after i click on a car all it does is show me pictures of it... Not even correlated pictures but it looks like you took the first 5 images off Google. Most of them don't even have pictures of the interior.

Why? This is an incredible non-sequitir.
There’s a market rate for vulnerabilities in highly trafficked websites. If you want people to give you the bug report instead of selling it to zero-day gangs or governments then you need to pay the market rate. You can expect a small discount because selling the bug to you is ‘doing the right thing’, but if you’re not paying more than a tee and you want to attract the people that go out of their way to discover issues then you’re automatically on the back foot.
That is actually what the constitution says. The US government should get warrant when spying on anyone regardless of who they are or where they are. The limitations are placed on the government, not the other way around.

It is only by legal convention that the US government does warrantless spying on non US citizens and gets away with it.

Despite linking to NASA's social media presences, I'd be very surprised if this had anything to do with NASA. The site appears to be hosted with an outfit called Big Brain in Reston, Virginia, and the owner's identity is concealed in the domain's whois record. Doesn't seem very NASA-like.

I'd say its more likely to be an attempt at a viral email address harvesting operation that's exploiting the current NASA shutdown. Nicely done though.

Lets see, the average monthly income in the states is about $4k. A decent cheap wine bottle is about $10.

Now compare that to Yahoo's income and that $12 store credit they gave him.

A more accurate scenario would be if the neighbours sent him the wine cork.
While this is obviously a shill post by ArabGeek, I am actually interested in the $120 version of this as a possible HTPC.

My trouble being is it is sometimes hard to get info from these foreign companies. Also, sometimes when they have a few spelling errors on their sites, I am not sure if they just are not 100% fluent in English or if it is a red flag indicating they are a scam and not what they seem. I do go back and forth between seriously considering one of these or getting a $200 slimline PC from Newegg or the like and adding a few of the extra parts I have laying around.

You said "IMHO ..." and then asserted something with no evidence. So the only germane information is the quality of your opinions. I made no assessment of those opinions, I simply listed what I found, based on your posts, and asked for confirmation. If merely listing these things constitutes an ad hominem attack, then it says more about your opinions than it does about me.
If you knew how much work went into getting it to this point, you'd probably have a different opinion.

I'm not a sociologist, but I've had a longstanding interest in the origin of manners, so I've read a bit on this. The problem here is that putting a number on something invites comparisons. We almost can't help comparing numbers. If my friend gets a number and I get a "You are awesome! Thank you so much!" I can't easily compare those because they are unlike each other. But when my friend gets a 500 and I get a 12.5, it is obvious to everyone that the number I got is so much lower, it's embarrassing. That guy's number is way bigger than mine.

Basically, no monetary reward is necessarily expected here. But once you give one, it is a faux pas to give one that looks small in comparison to what is considered the "norm." We even have common insults reflecting this fact, where bragging about something I impressive will invite comments like, "Wow, here is a shiny nickel." The impromptu offer of a clearly paltry reward is understood as a slight.
