I've been with Linode for the past seven years and their service is rock-solid. CPU matters more to me than disk I/O for this sort of thing, so it's a no-brainer to go with Linode and their extra cores. Their machines really haul. Doing sysadmin work on DigitalOcean machines feels painfully slow, probably because it's mostly CPU-bound.

So we're finally starting to move past vertical resolution of 90's CRTs. It's starting to look like the shift to widescreen is working out ok after all!
Curious- what features have you found to be missing in the API? I've never developed with it but nothing popped out to me at first blush.
Although I cannot personally vouch for it, I read that Scientific Linux gets updates more often compared to CentOS.
Your comment implies that micrometers and thous aren't an order of magnitude different. Regardless of which one you are talking about small tilts are not going to make a big difference. As long as everything is lined up properly within the machine then you aren't going to have a problem. Hell, even if it is a horrible, cheap, backlash ridden machine it is quite possible to machine something down to 1 thou tolerance provided you are careful and know a few tricks. I'm not even trained as a machinist and I have done that without too much trouble.
Do Linode and DO offer backup in their low(er) plans?

I am happy with a European VPS provider (TransIP), costs about 12 EUR/mon (with VAT and all) for 1G Ram, 1 Intel Xeon, 50 GB, 1.000GB traffic.
In Melbourne, Australia rent and/or mortgage repayments are more than that in a week. Moving out to the country will save a little bit but also limits access to jobs. I don't think you could get a mortgage for a 3br house for $300 a month anywhere these days.

1) With me and others, this happened through both text and iMessage equally.

2) In my case and as far as I know in relation to friends, all accounts are for their iPhones specifically.

I asked HN because it hasn't just happened to me, as I mentioned. And also not in only one location. It seems to be an issue that goes beyond my singular case.
> They can do the work at night or over the weekend, so they don’t have to leave their current job in the meantime.

Based on many of the terms of employment I've seen for creatives (designers/developers), this suggests that you don't legally own parts of your code. That's kind of a dangerous position to be in.

> Automattic employs 225 people...maybe 10 people leave the company, and another 25 or 30 we’ve let go

Is the audition really working if you fire 10% of the people you hire? 10% feels really high. That said, the rate of people leaving is lower than I'd expect. Together, those numbers make me think its working for the employees but not the employer.
4K means multiple things and we just have to get used to it. There is the DCI 4K native resolution of 4096x2160, 4K UHD of 3840x2160, and then there is the 4K in 16:10 at 4096x2560. Of these the UHD is likely to be the thing anyone cares about because it's what TVs will use. The native DCI resolution is probably the least interesting, because actual content will have different resolutions in practice depending on the actual aspect ratio being used. In a computer monitor however I'd prefer the 16:10 version instead of the 16:9 of UHD.
I remember shopping for large format LCD panels in 2011. I equivocated for a while between a 30" HP for around $800 and a 30" Dell, and eventually ended up buying Dell's u3011 for around $1100. I also remember thinking how unreasonably high the prices were for large LCD panels and hoping that they wouldn't stay that way forever.

It was a time when my monitor cost more than my computer. I think it's safe to say that that era has come to an end.

Now I'm just hoping that the price of good desktop speakers comes down next....
"Because Clickbait Journalism sucks."
Not surprisingly so the Guardian is the only newspaper in the western world that might wanna tell you the truth as is, and even take a shot or two while doing it.
Cool, I remember it.

Is it possible to release the source code of some of the older projects like the PhotoTour Viewer?

http://phototour.cs.washington.edu/
Both offer backups for any plan. Digital Ocean charges an additional 20% of the cost of the server (so, $1/mo for a $5/mo server)[0] and Linode charges rates that add up to an additional 25% of the cost of the server[1].

I think you have this picture in your mind of just one big pile of spaghetti code. The truth is way more nuanced. All the code may be in one big repository, but that doesn't mean it is not well-managed. The code is still modular; code is managed in libraries with clean APIs, and so on.

But whether you keep your code in one big repository or many small repositories, you still need to track and manage those the dependencies between the various parts.

For instance, when a bug is discovered in library X, you need to know which binaries running in production were compiled against a buggy version of that library. At Google we can say "A bug was introduced at revision NNNNN and fixed at revision MMMMM. Please recompile and redeploy any binaries that were built within that range." (And we have tools to tell us exactly which binaries those are.) This is something that using One Giant Repository gives us for free.

If you were taking the many-small-repos approach, for any given binary you'd need to track the various versions of each of its dependencies. You'd also need to manage release engineering for each and every one of those projects, which slows progress a lot (although we do have a release process for really critical components).

But like I said, there are relative advantages and disadvantages to either approach. To write software at this scale requires tools, processes, and good communication. Where you keep your code, at the end of the day, is actually a pretty minor concern compared to all the other stuff you need to do to ship quality products.
Afaict tell the initial range of possibilities is:

GG GB BB

The relative ages of the children play no part, they could be twins for all I care. So the initial probabilty of being BB is 1/3. Knowing one of them is a boy then removes GG as an option, and the probability for BB unsurprisingly becomes 1/2.

What am I misunderstanding in this problem?

The Golden Shield Project has nothing to do with the GFW. The whole Wikipedia article is a misnomer.
That's not correct. The resolution you are referring to is the native running resolution of 4K projectors in cinemas established by DCI. If you were being legal about it, which your comment is a little bit, "actual" 4K is 4096x2560.

A "proper" 4K film shown at DCI resolution is cropped by removing lines due to the combination of aspect ratio between film and projector. The trend in film photography, however, is towards the DCI standard; the RED EPIC shoots at DCI 4K while its predecessor, RED ONE, shoots more lines (I cannot recall off the top of my head, but it is definitely larger than DCI because it didn't fit in my Media Composer DCI workspace the first time I worked with it; I'm really reaching in long-term memory so I might be wrong about this).

All of that, however, is in the cinema world. Since NHK demonstrated 4K TV a couple years ago, everybody in the consumer electronics world has understood 4K to mean 4x 1080p, arranged 2x2, and that is what ITU standardized in recommendation 2020. That's intentional.

It's much easier to evolve 1080p equipment to 4K TV than cinema 4K; it's multiplicative and most of the same equipment can be overhauled. Other resolutions affect aspect ratio, and lenses are a significant portion of the expense of a television camera. You're going to have a hard time selling a standard that makes everybody buy lenses again. Don't forget that everybody just did to go HD. (The last lens I shot on in news was $20,000 by itself, which is part of the reason the average photog will get really mad at you if you grab it, as people who don't want to be videotaped are wont to do.)

If a consumer is buying 4K equipment, its resolution is 3840x2160. This will also be the resolution at which 4K content targeting consumers should be encoded, so I'm not sure what cropping you are referring to. If a DP is buying 4K equipment, its resolution is higher. This isn't marketing droids winning, it's completely different industries having a different history of resolutions: DCI 4K builds upon DCI 2K as 4K builds upon 2K builds upon 1080p; cinema has always fought for 16:10 while consumer electronics stubbornly fight for 16:9, as well.

Wikipedia doesn't help this situation by blurring the history of the two, leading to comments such as this one. Cinema 4K and consumer 4K are not in competition with each other, and there was never a chance of 4K content coming out of the camera at 4096x2560 and making it to a consumer display. They're for different purposes. It's also worth noting that ATSC v3 is still in early stages and is not finalized, which will dictate the broadcast of OTA 4K TV content and pull the industry accordingly.

I am aware some 4K monitors have been released to market at cinema resolution. Those are targeted toward film editors and as monitors for shoot work. There's also some other crazy markets; an engineer I worked with in television installed a bunch of early 4K monitors, the ~$20k ones, in an air traffic control tower. They like the resolution because screens get busy, he said. I don't know if that's true, I merely remember the story.

This is awesome! Saves me from the trouble of writing the directives myself.
Much closer to 1080p content shown on a 1800x1080 screen.

Your hyperbole is dishonest.
>$25/hour flat rate? Why? That's not even half the market rate for an average developer.

If over half the developers are worthless and you are buying an unknown quantity this seems equitable.
Evolution of iOS 7 (beta—.0—.1)
I'm not sure why anyone thinks 4096x2160 (256:135) will ever become a standard for consumer monitors? 16:9 has already won TV and computers. Are we really going to want to watch all of the 1080p content fractionally stretched or with bars on the side?

4096x2160 is fine for expensive cameras because it is designed to be cropped to 3840x2160, but I doubt there will ever be consumer content made in that format.
It's mostly a North American and maybe Australia thing tbh. Europe and Northern Europe and most of Asia/Africa is significantly better then NA.

If you just 'read' SICP, you are wasting your time. You read it in the best possible way.
Hopefully it will have a DisplayPort out like the U2713H or a Cinema Display.

The fact that the U2713HM doesn't have one makes high-res dual displays a pain for PC laptops.

A quote from that link:

"So where the hated Stasi surveillance was a building in area, the NSA surveillance today is an entire continent."

And:

"As a final note, the word Stasi was a contraction of the East German surveillance agency’s full name, Ministerium für Staatssicherheit. It translates to National Security Agency."
(Google translate says Ministry of State Security).

In the French revolution, the group pretty much playing the role of government during the Reign of Terror with many beheadings every day was called the Committee of Public Safety. The original or supposed reason these organizations claim to exist seems to be a justification to claim power and rights from the population.

I've been using Linode for years. I signed up when they offered free $100 credit. After my free year of Amazon AWS ran out, I went to Linode "until the $100 credit runs out". I ended up staying until this day.

I've been meaning to switch to DigitalOcean because it's twice as cheap but it's too much hassle to switch all domains, etc. so I've stuck with Linode.

I've never had to deal with Linode support which I guess is a good thing. DigitalOcean support is also great.

My credit card was stolen from Linode (I only ever used it to pay for Linode and Amazon). Luckily it was blocked by my bank automatically. Because of this, I will never call Linode rock-solid, secure or trusted.

I have a 39in 4k monitor that I bought for $500. The only problem is that 4k monitors through HDMI can only run at 30Hz, which is extremely noticeable. There might be a way to run at 60Hz but I haven't got it to work yet. Here's the monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE39UY04-39-Inch-Ultra/d...
I'm actually impressed. I've got an eternal skepticism of basically every "Fix Windows 8" thing that I've ever seen, but yours is pretty much the first that doesn't boil down to "re-release Windows XP" and actually focuses improving Metro's and Desktop's individual strengths/weaknesses.

I'd actually not even entirely hate that incarnation of a returning start menu, which is hard to believe at this point. Good job.

I'm so glad the concept of "dial tone", video or otherwise, never crossed the demand for and rollout of content-neutral, flat-rate-billed, backbone-peering-supported Internet Service.

Having worked in voice telecom billing for 11 years, it is my observation that phone companies adore detail billing. Imagine an ISP bill which details all the websites you visit, and bills each visit according to some value the phone company might opaquely ascribe. It might have gone that way with a thankfully unimplemented evolution of the amorphous notion of "video dial tone".

Had this $200 billion boondoggle actually given us megabit access, then it would be... access to what, exactly? I can't imagine phone companies providing access to the flat-rate, always on, servers-allowed, content-neutral Internet we have now, no matter the bit rate.

The thought of all phone companies collectively coming up with a service like Netflix is, to me, as unimaginable as the thought of those same phone companies coming up with the iPhone.

Yes, $200 billion is a shameful waste of ratepayer funds and a regulatory failure. But thankfully, it neither collared nor crossed with the Internet.

In my opinion, separation of ownership of content (and applications, and platforms, and end users) from the common carriers who own some of the "plumbing" which connects routers to routers to routers becomes fundamental to a free Internet.

>a proprietary gateway in each domicile (or open source device design for enthusiasts), which could also provide routing?

Why not bypass this and go straight to the device? Imagine paying for internet and not being limited to your house. Then you can expand your "work somewhere which is not your home and not your office" options beyond just Starbucks, et al. Plus the more different you are from the current business model, the better; you have a greater variety of ways to sell yourself, e.g. "This Internet Option, for the on-the-go professional who doesn't have time for wires!" or "Comcast wants you to have a modem. Lol, ok, Grandpa. Eyeroll.gif" or even "Gee Honey, you were right about This Internet Option. I never realized how much more alive - and sexy, and free - I feel using my laptop on the backyard swing!" Also you could compete on price (dramatically so!) with mobile carriers, if your network of boxes is, say, at least city-wide. Home, work, and between.

(Sorry about that. I was having fun.)
You have to use MST with DisplayPort 1.2 - sort of like Dual Link with DVI - to drive it at full resolution at 60hz.

The connector is already maxed out, so chaining is not possible.

You'll probably have to wait until HDMI is updated, and use one DP and one HDMI.
I assume that it being an Ultrasharp means it will be an IPS. If so, pretty sweet. And it might help drive down prices for the Korean 27s (1440p) monitors on eBay, which are much easier on the eyes (especially with text) than other panels.
It shouldn't be long before some Korean/Chinese factory starts selling these for half price on ebay.

Ask HN: What's the best way to learn Git for a version control (mostly) newbie?
I find myself laid up with a broken ankle/leg and I've been meaning to learn Git for a while, so I figured this would be the best opportunity. I last used version control back with Visual SourceSafe (I know, I know) in the late 90s while I was working corporate. Now, I hack on PortableApps.com which uses a combination of Hg, Git and SVN for various sub-projects, though my stuff often only gets dumped in once per release. I'd like to get them all better organized and standardize on one system, and it looks like Git will be it (possibly at Github).

On my end, I know enough to re-read a manual and poke a button on the various SCMs here and there to get some code out and maybe get a change in. But overall, assume I'm starting from scratch. I need to learn from the basics through the theory (branches and merging and collisions, oh my) through some more advanced bits. I'm more comfortable with a GUI but can use the command line in a pinch. And I'll be using it in Windows exclusively for now. I may branch out to Linux later, but all my work is on Windows apps at present.

I've done the usual Google searches and know about things like try.github.io, codeschool, etc, but figured that some of the more experienced folks here... maybe even some of the github folks here... could point me in the best direction.

Thanks in advance!
> OSX kernel is C. Drivers being written in C++ is irrelevant.

A kernel without drivers is useless.

> Windows kernel is C, the fact that they are making it compilable by a C++ compiler is irrelevant.

It is not irrelevant. Code compiled by a C++ compiler is C++, regardless how C fans try to bend it. Having this discussion since 1993.

Besides many new APIs since Windows XP are COM only as well.

C is legacy according to Microsoft, unless they change their mind about it. Even the latest C99 additions to their compiler were done as a requirement for C++11/14 compliance, not because they changed their mind.

> So what's your point exactly? Let us not forget you said that nothing outside *NIX was C, and you are wrong.

L4, Genode, OS/400, BeOS, Symbian are also done in C++.

What other OS, non UNIX based with the same maturity as the list above, can you point out being done in C?

UNIX based systems are the only ones that will be fully done in C due to their symbiotic relationship and the way their developers consider a sacrilege to use something else.
Data science is a tough area to get an internship in. Most companies want their data scientists to know more about data than they do. That being said, if you find a company whose core product involves data analysis, and get an internship there, there is a good chance you'll be happy. One place I found to be a really good source for these types of companies is the list here: http://www.quora.com/Machine-Learning/What-startups-are-hiri...
That being said, you may be better off claiming you have a strength in coding and an interest in data science, rather than the other way around. Oh, and in case this is your first time applying for tech internships, don't forget to plant a BUNCH of seeds.

That reasonable way is for municipalities to gather some courage and run their own open-access fiber. Until municipalities realize that the monopolies that they've granted their "local" cable companies are now working fiercely against the interests of their citizenry, real change in this space won't happen.
