Note that the key takeaway is just to order struct members by size, largest first; this isn't always sufficient, but it's a good habit wherever performance could matter.

This is a really great book.

One underappreciated aspect of the games industry is the extent hardware dictates game design. This is very clear on the 2600 where the limitations were ludicrous by modern standards, but extends through the tile and sprite acceleration hardware of the 16 bit era to the present day with issues like touch control or video processing latency making the very reaction driven titles that were so common on the 2600, by virtue of the limited time you had to process an update and the direct manner the video signal was produced, practically impossible on modern hardware.
Actually, no. Snowden was the only one willing to sacrifice anything to reveal the truth to the public - and he wasn't even an official NSA employee. We can gnash our teeth and pull our hair about how the agency was "co-opted" but the fact remains that precisely zero of the NSA's ~40,000 employees stepped forward with anything like this. So what can we infer from this? Many things, of course, but that the organization was whole-sale "co-opted" is rather a stretch. 40k people doing something horrible for 12 years and a trickle of ineffective attempts to do something...

There is, perhaps, a more "innocent" explanation - or at least one that reflects better on the rank-and-file at the NSA: that it took someone like Snowden, not just idealistic and willing to sacrifice, but his intelligence and unique collection of technical skills, to make something like this happen. The NSA is a frightening adversary, the best funded, best equipped, most sophisticated intel organization on the planet. One could be forgiven for thinking twice before burning them... But is that fear enough to keep 40k people quiet for 12 years?! I'd say that we can only infer that the rank-and-file are massively in favor of the steps the NSA is taking, and probably mostly for noble reasons of wanting to "protect" us all. And what we can infer from that is that clearly the NSA selects for loyalty over principle, every time. Well, maybe they failed that once.

The thing that really bothers me is that it's such an inevitably fail-prone approach to protection, as it requires massive numbers of people to keep a secret in perpetuity. And now the big reveal: it has materially damaged us all. American technological trustworthiness is (rightly) at an all time low. My only hope is that this failure has been dramatic, so memorable, so horrible, that it will spur all computer technologists to learn more about security, the details of cryptography and random number generation, and to stop assuming that US authorities will show anything like common sense when it comes to restraining themselves and their power. They are drunk with it, self-righteously drunk with it, and we must work to take that power away in every possible way: politically, technologically, and indeed, philosophically. I mention philosophy last, but it's really the most important: are we a nation of principles, or are we a nation that takes shortcuts, sacrificing principle for pride of protection? In addition to testing for technological prowess, we need to test our intelligence staffers for high ethical intelligence: they need to be willing and able to rebel against illegal orders just as Snowden has done.

Wikileaks political senses is leaking via syria?
Credit cards are more secure than Debit cards, but they lack one important feature: protection from overdrawing more than the amount in the account (overspending). Why don't banks offer this type of credit cards?
I started using Clojure in 2012. Here are the changes I've observed, though it is more subtle.

The tooling and the libraries are working much better right now. A strong indicator of this was the decision to nuke Noir, which I gather made a lot of sense when it came out. I've noticed that my code makes fewer calls to Java than it did a year ago. nRepl was a huge improvement over Slime. I'm looking forward to Leiningen 3.

Documentation across the board has improved quite a bit. Its still not perfect, but you can't deny the quality found in Elastich [1], Leinengen [2], ClojureScript [3], Luminus [4].

Many more useful libraries. I can't list them all here, but the library ecosystem has improved quite a bit, not only in quantity, but quality. Don't get me wrong, there are a few duds out there, but it is nice to see that many problems are being solved.

The Climate Corporation's mission is to help all the world's people and
businesses manage and adapt to climate change. We use a combination of weather
monitoring, agronomic modeling, and weather simulation to provide real-time
pricing and purchasing of customizable weather insurance to farmers in the
United States.

Climate's technical staff numbers around 80, and we're hiring full-time
employees and interns across many teams as we expand efforts on a new class of
decision support tools for growers (see http://goo.gl/e2uu9v). Work is split
across groups focusing on web applications for farmers and agents, risk and
insurance policy management, internal platform and data services, and
scientific modeling and research, with roles for:

1. Software engineering generalists with solid CS fundamentals, particularly
anyone interested in building (i) entirely new, large-scale distributed data
services for scientific computing (we use Clojure); and (ii) web applications
(Rails, Python, Javascript, and iOS) used by farmers to manage weather risk.

2. Quantitative researchers in statistics/ML, stochastic optimization, remote
sensing, atmospheric physics, and agronomics. Our goal is to forecast
statistical distributions of crop yield for any piece of arable land,
synthesizing satellite images, digital elevation models, weather data,
agricultural statistics, and geological surveys into multiscale models that
underly our data services.

3. Experienced technical team leads, operations engineers, product managers,
and designers to pull all this together into a compelling product.

The scale and interdisciplinary nature of the work drive a lot of
cross-collaboration within the company, supported by a pressing need to build
durable solutions to some very important problems.

Competitive salary, excellent benefits, stock options, etc. Our 25% time is
lumped into two-week sabbaticals. The usual details about these positions are

Then return get device for a refund, they are offering you that, which in my opinion is pretty awesome. You thought you were getting one service, you were wrong (as it wasn't made clear to you), and now they are saying you can have a full refund. Life's to short to stress out over things like this, especially when there is a simple solution being offered.

mm so traditional publisher attitude NIH and we can do it much better than those internet nerds.

I predict that the WSJ will waste almost all of the value built up by allthingsd.
Is that for designing cross-platform, just Android, or is it better than XCode in some way?
> Um... how does he get cash out of the bank then?

Perhaps he meant "random" ATM machines at gas stations, in the mall, or wherever and instead only uses the ATM at his bank's branch. Which hopefully is more closely monitored since they are attached to or inside the building

That being said, I withdraw cash maybe twice a year. If you aren't getting credit card rewards, you are doing it wrong :)
By the way, emotions having a bodily basis and function is absolutely mainstream psychology, I think Darwin wrote about it, William James, Paul Ekman of course... Mindfullness is included in some therapies. Even new agey ideas by likes of Lowen and Reich are often mentioned in academic textbooks.

And there's some people already ruining it. I believe Amsterdam had this same problem. Drug tourism is not something cities want for many obvious reasons.
Ask HN: Is there a browser extension for tagging HN users?
I searched but didn't see anything relevant, either here or on https://www.hnsearch.com/apps

One of my favorite parts of Reddit Enhancement Suite is the ability to tag other users - especially so I know who else is a lawyer and who just likes repeating things they saw on Law & Order.

But I'd also like to know more about other users and seeing who seems to have expertise in other areas or who works for X company might help me wade through a lot of the great content I might otherwise miss.
Everyplace has a system. Russia has a system. Iran has a system. And everyplace that has a system, the system works pretty much as intended: Putting the Pussy Riot women in prison for insulting Putin was no malfunction.

This article does not claim or system is broken and needs fixing. The article claims the system has lost legitimacy. I'm pretty sure that if revolution came to Russia, people would die, and it would mean hard times for a few years.

But there is another problem with your choice of choosing the system over the alternatives. An open "hot war" revolution is not the only alternative.

gcc -Wpadded is very useful, too (its chief downside is that you don't usually want to combine it with -Werror - padding is not always bad.)
I do optimal structure (and bit) packing without much thought because it is an old habit. As the article states, I have noticed that the only other people that do habitual careful structure optimization these days have been doing low-level and high-performance code as long as I have. Most programmers are oblivious to it.

The reasons you would do it today are different than a decade ago and the rules have changed because the processors have changed. To add two clarifying points to the original article:

- The main reason to do optimal structure packing today is to reduce cache line misses. Because cache line misses are so expensive it is a big net performance gain in many cases to have the code do a little more work if it reduces cache line fills; optimal structure packing is basically a "free" way of minimizing cache misses.

- On modern Intel microarchitectures, alignment matters much less for performance than it used to. One of the big changes starting with the i7 is that unaligned memory accesses have approximately the same cost as aligned memory accesses. This is a pretty radical change to the optimization assumptions for structure layout. Consequently, it is possible to do very tight memory packing without the severe performance penalty traditionally implied.

What constitutes "optimal" structure packing is architecture dependent. The original C structure rules were designed in part to allow the structures to be portable above all else. If you design highly optimized structures for a Haswell processor, code may run much more slowly or create a CPU exception and crash on other architectures, so keep these tradeoffs in mind. The article is discussing basic structure packing which typically has easily predictable behavior almost anywhere C compiles.

My team at Intel is hiring people in the Hillsboro, Oregon area to work on ChromeOS. We're working on enabling support in ChromeOS for each new Intel processor and chipset, optimizing performance and power usage, and adding new features to ChromeOS to take full advantage of new platform functionality.

We're looking for folks who enjoy working anywhere in the software stack, from the Linux kernel up through the browser and everywhere in between, including drivers, X, Mesa, OpenGL, rendering, video, and audio. ChromeOS is an Open Source project; previous experience with development and technical communication in an Open Source environment will carry a lot of weight.

For the full job postings with all the details, see http://jobs.intel.com/job/Hillsboro-ChromeOS-Integration-Sof... and http://jobs.intel.com/job/Hillsboro-Chrome-OS-Validation-Eng... . Feel free to contact me using the email address in my profile; I'm Intel's ChromeOS architect, and I can also put you in contact with the hiring manager for any non-technical questions about the positions. We're primarily seeking permanent hires, but if you're interested in an internship, contact me and we'll see what we can do.
Seems to me this problem can be solved by turning to our founding fathers advice as well. For starters, abolish the production of porn and the other filth that Muslims hate us for. Then, if that doesn't work. Drop a few nuclear bombs on the Middle East. Turn the whole area into a parking lot. This could be accomplished in two months.
Starbucks might not brew beer, but there are plenty of brewers who use coffee in their beers, so the likelihood of confusion isn't that small.
The laws that explicitly mention out-of-area residents might make people think otherwise.
* Who owns the device?

They own the device until they say you own it. Period. As with anything you buy these days. You have a use-license to things until you are told you own it. Most EULAs for hardware explicitly state this somewhere or another.

* Is the offer reasonable?

Totally. They are giving you a bonus on top of the better deal that they give new customers.

* Should I be upset about this?

No. I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

* Should I just send it back and ask for a refund?

If you feel like this is a real issue to you, then yes.

* What should I do???﻿

Making a big deal out of this is really sort of knee-jerk, it seems. You misunderstood what you were getting and now you're asking the company you got it from to do something they clearly aren't prepared to do (give you stuff for free). Just because you make a fuss on the Internet doesn't mean you always get your way.

SpaceMonkey seems to be an honorable business with good intentions. I have not backed them, nor am I a customer, but it seems to me that you've changed their good deal into something that it's not.
i don't think it's about the money. it's almost never about the money.

if you had a ten dollar bill on a table, and you saw an acquaintance take that money and put it in their pocket, you confronted them about it, and they told you it was theirs and that they didn't take anything, would you be a spoiled child by ending the relationship or asking for the money back?

> Um... how does he get cash out of the bank then? Does he wait 10 min in line and write himself a check at the cashier's every time? Can you even do that anymore, without using your ATM card and PIN to verify your identity?
